101:6.8 The teachings of Jesus constituted the first Urantian religion which so fully embraced a harmonious co-ordination of knowledge, wisdom, faith, truth, and love as completely and simultaneously to provide temporal tranquillity, intellectual certainty, moral enlightenment, philosophic stability, ethical sensitivity, God-consciousness, and the positive assurance of personal survival. The faith of Jesus pointed the way to finality of human salvation, to the ultimate of mortal universe attainment, since it provided for:

1. Salvation from material fetters in the personal realization of sonship with God, who is spirit.

2. Salvation from intellectual bondage: man shall know the truth, and the truth shall set him free.

3. Salvation from spiritual blindness, the human realization of the fraternity of mortal beings and the morontian awareness of the brotherhood of all universe creatures; the service-discovery of spiritual reality and the ministry-revelation of the goodness of spirit values.

4. Salvation from incompleteness of self through the attainment of the spirit levels of the universe and through the eventual realization of the harmony of Havona and the perfection of Paradise.

5. Salvation from self, deliverance from the limitations of self-consciousness through the attainment of the cosmic levels of the Supreme Mind and by co-ordination with the attainments of all other self-conscious beings.

6. Salvation from time, the achievement of an eternal life of unending progression in God-recognition and God-service.

7. Salvation from the finite, the perfected oneness with Deity in and through the Supreme by which the creature attempts the transcendental discovery of the Ultimate on the postfinaliter levels of the absonite.

Love’s Direction

Lots to do this early morn.

Many years, since I’ve been born.

Which means, I’m getting older now.

With Doctor pills, I am endowed.

Finger pricks do start my day.

And then my body, I do weigh.

Morning rituals to keep track

Of how I age, so many facts

Later on today, there’s more.

I see some docs who treat my core.

They want to see my many facts.

They try to keep my core intact.

This evening will be with my friends.

With study group, the day will end.

Lots of travel in between

All these events, it truly seems.

I need to keep on track with time

And keep all these events in line.

Schedule for the day becomes

Real, as this day goes on.

The now is where we all experience

What we do in this existence.

Can we be more self-aware?

I know that Love will take me there.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

I have Faith, as this day goes on

Lessons will be there to learn.

For Your Love, is what I yearn.

Paul Anderson

Doing Good
...it behooves the Master's followers in all ages to learn to minister as "they pass by" — to do unselfish good as they go about their daily duties. 171:7.10 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_171.html#171:7.10

102:6.4 Faith transforms the philosophic God of probability into the saving God of certainty in the personal religious experience. Skepticism may challenge the theories of theology, but confidence in the dependability of personal experience affirms the truth of that belief which has grown into faith.

Love The Day

An early start to this fine day.

A get together is on the way.

It’s time to plant some flowers ‘round.

It’s time to plant seeds in the ground.

A perfect day presents itself.

A day that’s filled with Spirit wealth.

It’s always there if we just look.

It even helps me when I cook.

An early start will help me do

All the things that help me to

Be caught up, and makes the day

The best it can in every way.

Anticipate the very best!

Look for God upon your quest.

God is love and wants for you

To do your best in what you do.

The day unfolds, so let God’s power

Help your inner self to flower.

Look to find what’s Spirit real.

God’s within, that’s a true deal.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

You always help make living fun.

Life with love’s, what You’re about.

Love is how we make life count!

Paul Anderson

The Maturing Person
The evidence of maturity of personality consists in the transformation of human desire so that it constantly seeks...those values which are highest and most divinely real. 160:1.13 https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_160.html#160:1.13

Find Your Best

Much potential: the day begins.

It’s life on earth, the world we’re in.

Decisions made with our approach.

We all decide what we devote.

We devote our energies.

Our decisions we decree.

We make the best of what we have.

Life is more than what you grab.

Make this world a better place.

Look within, see what you face.

You can only change yourself.

So play the cards that you’ve been dealt.

Acceptance, always face the facts.

Don’t let delusions spoil your act.

Experience plays a big part here.

Don’t be fooled by what you fear.

God wants you to do your best.

Life is often one big test.

Thinking helps with your attack.

Think before you do react.

The best is often just ahead.

Don’t lose Faith or lose your head.

Ask for help, and you’ll be lead

To do your best, just like I’ve said.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The life I’ve lived has been much fun.

Every day I live and choose.

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.
