htt81:3.7 The traveling trader and the roving explorer did more to advance historic civilization than all other influences combined. Military conquests, colonization, and missionary enterprises fostered by the later religions were also factors in the spread of culture; but these were all secondary to the trading relations, which were ever accelerated by the rapidly developing arts and sciences of industry.

Advance the World

The cold has come, a -12.

But that’s outside, not where we dwell.

We’re inside, out of the cold.

We’ve learned to keep our temps controlled.

We stay inside where we have built

Structures that do suit our ilk.

They keep the cold away from us.

They truly have become robust!

We talk of building on the moon.

The cost of which I’m sure will zoom!

The know how’s there, I have no doubt.

But do we choose the proper route?

We need to choose how we do use

And make the choice to not abuse

This world on which we all do live.

We need to learn more, how to give.

We need to raise humanity up—

Slowly, as to not disrupt

What we have already built.

We cannot lose what You have willed.

Spiritually we must advance!

Accept what’s true, not blind romance.

Let the Truth be guiding us.

The Spirit within us we must trust.

Thank You, Father, help us see

The world as one – more Spiritually.

More gadgets aren’t the way to peace.

We need more Spiritual expertise.

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

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?
