The Spiritual Direction.
“Only that mind which freely submits itself to the spirit direction can hope to survive the mortal time-space existence as an immortal child of the eternal spirit world.”
42:12.15 (484.3)
A Thought to Ponder from The Urantia Book
In regard to my understanding as someone who has read the Urantia book, this is how I understood it: This suggests that embracing spiritual guidance is every vital for transcending the limitations of our temporal existence, allowing the mind to endure beyond mortal constraints and connect with the eternal spiritual realm. It also signifies a transformative journey that is towards becoming an immortal child of the eternal spirit world through a willingly submitted mind.
168:4:13 Ask and you shall receive.
146:2:10 “I have come forth from the Father; if, therefore, you are ever in doubt as to what you would ask of the Father, ask in my name, and I will present your petition in accordance with your real needs and desires and in accordance with my Father’s will.” Guard against the great danger of becoming self-centered in your prayers.
144:2:4 If the child needs a loaf, will you give him a stone just because he unwisely asks for it? ... If you, then, being mortal and finite, know how to answer prayer and give good and appropriate gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the spirit and many additional blessings to those who ask him?
