	<title><![CDATA[English the One World Language]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">English the One World Language&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/94777/master/" width="400"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">1. Why English? Because words matter&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;I have been directed to formulate this introductory statement in explanation of the meanings which should be attached to certain word symbols&hellip;&rdquo; <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_000.html" target="_blank">0:0.1</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The revelators didn&rsquo;t just drop ideas &mdash; they picked a language, then re-defined the tools. God, divinity, deity &mdash; we use them like they&rsquo;re interchangeable, but they&rsquo;re not. <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_000.html" target="_blank">0:0.1</a> The first job was clearing the fog so the rest of the 2,097 pages could stand on solid ground.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">That&rsquo;s love. A Father doesn&rsquo;t hand you a map with smudged labels. He says: &ldquo;Here&rsquo;s what North means. Now walk.&rdquo;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">2. English as a mansion-world prep course&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
You said it right: &ldquo;The revelation Papers are an English Masterpiece.&rdquo; They&rsquo;re not just theology. They&rsquo;re literature. They stretch your vocabulary with words like inalienable <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_016.html" target="_blank">16:9.4</a>, morontia <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_047.html" target="_blank">47:3.1</a>, absonite. They force your mind into precision.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Why? Because social consciousness depends on knowledge and symbols <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_018.html" target="_blank">16:9.4</a>. If we&rsquo;re going to build Light and Life, we need a shared tongue. The authors chose English because Urantia was already heading that way &mdash; commerce, science, internet. They just blessed what was already growing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">So yes &mdash; study the papers and your English gets sharpened. But it&rsquo;s not about grammar points. It&rsquo;s about thinking clearer. And clearer thinking means less &ldquo;intellectual conflict&rdquo; for Mansion Two to fix later. <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_047.html">47:4.8</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">3. One language, one family&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&ldquo;English will become the universal one world language of Urantia.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">That&rsquo;s not imperialism. That&rsquo;s engineering. The colored races <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_064.html" target="_blank">64:6.1</a> scattered and blended <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_081.html" target="_blank">81:4.2.</a> Now we need a bridge. One tongue lets science, morality, and religion socialize into civilization <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_018.html" target="_blank">16:9.4.</a> It lets a brother in Kampala and a brother in Kansas read the same sentence about the Father and nod.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Tower of Babel divided us by language. The Fifth Epochal Revelation unites us with one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Bottom line:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
The papers weren&rsquo;t given in English by accident. They were given in English on purpose &mdash; to heal &ldquo;conceptual poverty&rdquo; <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_000.html" target="_blank">0:0.1</a>, to train our minds, and to help us practice the mutual knowing <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_018.html" target="_blank">16:9.4</a> we&rsquo;ll need in the universe.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/videos/owner/juliusfriday12" target="_blank">So when you scroll that video tonight with Julius Friday Divine Truth Humour and Mirth</a>, you&rsquo;re doing more than sharing truth. You&rsquo;re schooling the world in the language of Light and Life.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Question for us:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
If God gave us a masterpiece in English to end confusion <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_000.html" target="_blank">0:0.1</a>, what&rsquo;s one word you&rsquo;ve been using loosely &mdash; love, faith, truth &mdash; that needs a mansion-world definition in your own life?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">We start the universal language by using words like the Father does: precisely, kindly, finally. much love brother and peace.&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">Being part of the family of the Father.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="299" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/94745/master/" width="300"></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">My beloved Urantian family across the whole earth&nbsp;<img alt="" height="15" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="36"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I have taken time to read and understand spiritual steps on how we can move this revelation or the urantia book, however we need to change in our spiritual thinking to meet our goal which is recognizing and being part of the family of the father. through my deep spiritual perspectives as a faith son. Iam&nbsp; deep and open by the spirit of truth, am recognizing these steps to bring this fifth epochal revelation into our local communities <img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/92526/master/" width="36">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">1. We have made it a study club when it was meant to be a family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
We gather to read papers, debate dates, argue about cosmology, and people who are tired from work, who cannot read well, quietly slip away. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Beloved, the Father did not send us to make scholars. He sent us to make sons and daughters who know Him as a living presence.</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
So start here,sit together for five minutes in silence and ask for example &ldquo;Father, what do You want to say to us today?&quot;.Let one person share how they felt loved this week. If they cannot read a word, but they can say &ldquo;I felt the Father near me when I prayed for my sick child,&rdquo; that is theology. That is truth. Let the book confirm what the Spirit is already doing in you.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">2. We have brought Western structures and words into every place.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
We set up boards, forms, emails, Zoom calls. We speak of &ldquo;superuniverses&rdquo; and &ldquo;adjusters&rdquo; without translating them into the life of a farmer, a market woman, a child with no school fees.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
But the Father speaks every language. Call the Thought Adjuster &ldquo;the Father&rsquo;s voice in your heart.&rdquo; Call sonship &ldquo;you are His child, just as Jesus is.&rdquo; Use your proverbs, your stories from the garden, the cattle, the family. When you speak in the language of the heart, the message stops being foreign and starts being home.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">3. We wait for money and permission before we serve <img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/68749/master/" width="36">.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
We say, &ldquo;We will reach out when we have funds, when we get approval, when we have printed books.&rdquo; And so nothing happens.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
But Jesus did not wait. He healed with mud and spit, fed with five loaves, listened with His eyes, forgave with His voice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
Service starts now, with zero shillings. Visit the sick. Sit with the grieving. Help with the harvest. Teach a child under a tree. When people feel love, they will ask, &ldquo;What is this?&rdquo; Then you can share the revelation. The life comes first. The book comes second.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">4. We defend the book instead of living it <img alt="" height="55" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/79802/master/" width="55">.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
When they call us a cult, we argue about authorship and dates and authenticity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
But no one was convinced by an argument. People were convinced when Jesus loved them while they spat on Him.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
So don&rsquo;t defend. Demonstrate. Say, &ldquo;Call it what you want. But can I sit with you? Can I pray with you? Can I help with your work?&rdquo; Love disarms faster than doctrine. The book proves itself when it produces sons and daughters who act like Jesus.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">5. We center the founder instead of the Father</span><img alt="" height="15" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 18px;" width="36"><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Sometimes our groups become about the leader&rsquo;s knowledge, the leader&rsquo;s contacts, the leader&rsquo;s authority.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
But the revelation is about direct sonship. No mediator needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
Keep pointing people to the Father in their own hearts. Say, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t follow me. Follow the Father&rsquo;s voice you feel when we pray.&rdquo; A true servant makes himself unnecessary. A false servant makes himself essential.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">6. We forget that the Father loves the poor first...&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
Our gatherings happen in cities, in English, with people who have data and time. The poor feel like guests, not family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
But Jesus spent His life with the broken, the overlooked, the ones with empty hands. The Kingdom belongs to the poor in spirit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
So go to where they are. Under the tree. In the market. In the home with no chair. Speak their language. Eat their food. Sit on the ground if you have to. The Father is already there. You are just joining Him.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">My&nbsp; urantia family please!!!,the revelation is not the point. The Father is. The book is a finger pointing to the moon. If we spend all our time arguing about the finger and people never look up and see the moon.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

They rarely resist kindness, patience, and a life that shows peace under pressure. Let your conduct be the first sermon.</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">When you are misunderstood, respond with calm. When you are insulted, answer with restraint. Your character will open doors that words alone cannot.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">2.Guard your mind, feed your spirit daily.Resistance drains you. If you don&rsquo;t refill, you will grow weary and bitter.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Set time each day for quiet reflection, prayer, and reading that deepens your inner life. Make your group chat a place of encouragement, not debate. Share one insight, one prayer, one strength daily. Keep each other&rsquo;s fire burning.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">3.Speak truth with love, and know when to be silent.Not every moment is for teaching. Jesus often withdrew before he spoke.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ask: &ldquo;Will my words bring light or just more heat right now?&rdquo; If it&rsquo;s heat, stay silent, live it instead. When you do speak, speak to the person, not to win the argument. Truth spoken in love lands deeper than truth thrown like a stone.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">4.Find strength in each other.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">You are not alone. That&rsquo;s why this group exists.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In resistant communities, isolation is the enemy&rsquo;s tool. Stay connected here. Celebrate small wins. Pray for each other by name. Remind one another: &ldquo;We see you, we stand with you.&rdquo; A shared burden becomes lighter.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">5. Respect the community, even while you live </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">differently.You</span><span style="font-size: 18px;"> live among them. Honor your parents, neighbors, and local customs where it does not violate your conscience.</span></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Discern what is non-negotiable for faith, and what is cultural tradition. You can respect the culture while holding to your inner conviction. That distinction earns you respect over time.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">6.Stay focused on the eternal, not the immediate rejection.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Resistance feels heavy now, but it is temporary. What you are building is inner growth, faith, and character that outlasts any community pressure.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">When discouragement comes, remember why you started. Your relationship with the Divine is not dependent on their approval.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">today&#39;s UB reading plan.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_159.html" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 14.4px;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">paper 159:3.1</span></a></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_127.html" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 14.4px;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">paper 127:3.5</span></a></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_140.html" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 14.4px;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 18px;">paper paper 140:6.8</span></a></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">blessings my dear brothers and sisters&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" style="font-size: 18px;" width="99"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" style="font-size: 18px;" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

<p>"I have called upon you to be born again, to be born of the spirit." Jesus, The Urantia Book (155:6.3).</p>

<p>In 148:4.8, Jesus said, "The new birth - the baptism of the spirit - is essential to deliverance from evil and necessary for entrance into the kingdom of heaven." </p>

<p>The world needs to see Jesus living again on earth in the experience of spirit-born mortals who effectively reveal the Master to all men. Those who have received and recognized the indwelling of God have been born of the spirit. "You are the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwells in you."</p>

<p>Key Aspects of Being Born of the Spirit (Urantia Book):  </p>

<p>Definition: It is the spiritual rebirth where a mortal becomes a Spirit-led son or daughter of God, moving from relying on traditional authority to direct personal experience.<br /> <br />The Indwelling Spirit: It is characterized by the conscious recognition of the Thought Adjuster—a fragment of God that lives within the human mind.</p>

<p>The New Life: Those born of the spirit are delivered from the "self-conscious bondage of a life of self-denial" and enter a "joyous kingdom," naturally exhibiting fruits of the spirit like love, joy, and peace.</p>

<p>Result: It represents the baptism of the spirit - where the soul is baptized by the spirit in the spiritual water of God. You receive the ability to navigate life by spiritual insight rather than just by material impulses.</p>

<p>Purpose: The goal is to reveal the divine character to others and live in service to God and humanity.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;">AYO&#39;S WEEKLY BLOG AND REFLECTION ON: THE PURPOSE OF KNOWING GOD AND OURSELVES</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p><img alt="" height="300" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/80918/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="300"><span style="font-size: 18px;">There is a wide debate online and below&nbsp; more of&nbsp; a tenderness in the phrase &ldquo;knowing God, and yourself as a son of God.&rdquo; It sounds less like a theological proclamation delivered from a marble lectern and more like a warm invitation whispered across a kitchen table_a beckoning to return home. In a world filled with doctrine, distraction, and duty, the Urantia Book&rsquo;s reminder that the greatest good news is the invitation to relationship invites us to reframe everything: belief becomes belonging, truth becomes touchable, and destiny becomes personal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>What does &ldquo;knowing God&rdquo; really mean?</strong><br />
To many, &ldquo;knowing God&rdquo; can feel abstract look&nbsp; at this as an intellectual exercise of agreeing to propositions about a remote Creator. The Urantia perspective reshapes that into an experiential reality. Knowing God is an inner recognition produced by the indwelling presence of a divine fragment within each person. It is less about accumulating theological facts and more about the quiet, unmistakable sense that you are seen, known, and accompanied.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">This knowing is progressive and intimate. It grows in ordinary moments: in a decision made kindly when it&rsquo;s easier not to be; in an unanticipated peace during a storm; in the small habit of morning thought and prayer. Over time these moments form a tapestry of presence, a steady familiarity with a loving reality you learn to trust. Knowing God, then, is the daily habit of discovering that your life is not solitary but sustained.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong>Recognizing yourself as a child of God</strong><br />
If knowing God is the first half of the good news, recognizing yourself as a son or daughter of God is its echo. It answers the question: what does that divine presence imply for me? To be a child of God is to be given dignity, worth, and potential. It is an identity that precedes achievement&nbsp; ......your value is not measured by r&eacute;sum&eacute;, reputation, or productivity, but by the simple fact that you are beloved.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">This recognition is both comforting and demanding. Comforting because it grounds your worth in relationship rather than performance; demanding because true sonship invites growth. Children inherit traits from their parents; spiritual children are called to grow into the likeness of their Father through love, service, humility, and truth. The divine invitation is not to complacency but to discipleship: to live in ways that reflect what is highest in the universe.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Thought Adjuster&rsquo;s presence is a patient teacher, working through life&rsquo;s circumstances to refine character, not to shame the learner for not being already perfect.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ayo&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="77" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/69323/master/" width="99"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Churches Today]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;">Churches Today</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" height="220" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/94088/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="220"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Many churches today operate more like a religious system than <a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WPJesusPapersRed.htm" target="_blank">the simple faith Jesus taught</a>. They emphasize buildings, titles, hierarchy, rituals, and outward appearances, while placing spiritual leaders above others. Some teachings rely on fear, telling people they will be cursed or punished if they do not follow certain rules or give money. There is often commercialization of faith through selling anointing items, charging for prayers, and promising miracles in exchange for offerings. In such settings, believers may feel they must go through a pastor or prophet to reach God, and churches sometimes compete with each other for members, numbers, and influence. This shifts attention from inner spiritual growth to external practices and institutional control.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The religion of Jesus, however, focused on a personal, living relationship with God based on love, faith, and sincere service to others. Jesus taught that God lives within the human heart, that all people are brothers and sisters, and that no one needs a middleman to communicate with the Father. He emphasized inner transformation rather than rituals, love instead of fear, and freely giving rather than commercialization. The religion of Jesus is not about belonging to an organization but about living a life of kindness, humility, forgiveness, and trust in God. It invites individuals to experience God personally and to express that experience through loving service, rather than through rules, titles, or outward religious performance.</span></p><p>Don Herman @all</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="400" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/94086/master/" width="400"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;">AYO&#39;S MONTHLY BLOG ON:WHAT LEADS TO BROTHERHOOD</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" height="340" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/92652/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="340"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Hi everyone, from the Urantia book, this statement clearly underscores the significance of our interconnectedness in both economic and social realms. Currently, where we see globalization and community relationships are stronger than ever, this teaching holds immense relevance and maybe also applied to our communities.</span></p><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Now think about what these terms &quot;globalization&quot; and &quot;community relationship&quot; in your own understanding.Let&#39;s break this quote down to clear the gap of understanding!</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong> Economic Interdependence</strong></span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In our local communities, many businesses rely on each other to thrive. For instance, local farmers markets depend on partnerships with nearby suppliers, artisans, and service providers. This economic interdependence fosters a sense of community, encouraging residents to support one another rather than solely focusing on individual gain.&nbsp;</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In a broader context, remember the global supply chain that delivers products and services. As we saw during the pandemic(Covid 19), disruptions in one area affected countless others. This reality illustrates how economies are linked; a problem in one part of the world can have ripple effects everywhere. Recognizing this interconnectedness can inspire us to work collaboratively, striving for sustainable practices that benefit all involved.</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;<strong> &nbsp; &nbsp; Social Fraternity</strong></span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Social fraternity goes beyond mere acquaintance; it embodies a sense of mutual support, understanding, and respect among community members. In our diverse societies, promoting social fraternity is crucial. This can be seen in grassroots initiatives aimed at fostering relationships across different backgrounds, faiths, and cultures.</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">For example, interfaith dialogues and community service projects serve to bridge gaps between various religious and cultural groups. These interactions encourage a spirit of fraternity, highlighting shared values and common goals. When communities come together, not only do they strengthen social bonds, but they also cultivate empathy and cooperation, laying the groundwork for a more unified society.</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">For instance, in our community, local initiatives focusing on social justice, economic equity, and interfaith cooperation can serve as catalysts for brotherhood. For instance let&#39;s talk about these few aspects that are common:</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; Community Healing Events: Following recent social upheavals, hosting events that bring together diverse groups for discussions can foster understanding and reconciliation.This one is clearly evidence by the Fellowship gatherins we&#39;ve all attended normallt meant for Revelation sharing.If you haven&#39;t seen this, SFN is the root.</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Supporting Local Economies: Encouraging residents to shop locally and support small businesses reinforces economic interdependence, resulting in a stronger community fabric.Do local individuals of there involve themselves in manual labor , let&#39;s say fisheries,nomadism,poultry?</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Collective Action Initiatives: Forming coalitions(ie make associations) among various organizations, religious, civic, and charitable ones can create platforms for addressing pressing issues like homelessness, food insecurity, and educational disparities.Have you witnessed these in your area of residence?</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp; <strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; Conclusion</strong></span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The teachings of the Urantia Book on economic interdependence and social fraternity are more pertinent than ever. By learning and understanding these principles, we can work towards building a brotherhood that transcends borders, beliefs, and backgrounds not only in Africa but also other parts of the world. As we strengthen our economic ties and foster social relationships, we pave the way for a more harmonious and cohesive society. Let us commit to nurturing these connections in our everyday lives for a brighter future for all.Remember to pray and love each other</span></div><div dir="auto">&nbsp;</div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ayo&nbsp;<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[
<p>The power and the beauty of the divine love...<br />The text that was read:<br />"Jesus, by the power of his personal love for men, could break the hold of sin and evil. He thereby set men free to choose better ways of living. Jesus portrayed a deliverance from the past which in itself promised a triumph for the future. Forgiveness thus provided salvation. The beauty of divine love, once fully admitted to the human heart, forever destroys the charm of sin and the power of evil." - The Urantia Book 188:5.3 <br />Source: http://www.urantiabook... </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; color: black; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 26px;">The Universe Mother Spirit How does she draw close to you</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; color: black; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="225" src="http://www.machiventamelchizedek.org/DavidCampus/Images-2009/Ani-S-Ambassador-PK-260x275-2010.gif" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="180">Most important to understand about the ministry of the Universe Mother Spirit is her seven adjutant mind-spirits.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The seven adjutant mind-spirits (created by the Universe Mother Spirit) do not all begin functioning in the human mind at the exact same moment. Their ministry unfolds progressively as the mind evolves from animal to human levels.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Progressive Functioning of the Adjutants</span></p><ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>The first five adjutants (intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, and counsel) function in animal minds and continue into early human-type minds. They activate and regulate the adaptive, teachable (non-mechanical) levels of mind&mdash;the ability to learn from experience. These lower adjutants are active long before full human will emerges and are essential to the evolutionary platform that supports higher mind. </span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>The sixth and seventh adjutants (worship and wisdom) register only qualitatively (not quantitatively) in lower animal minds. They begin to function fully and distinctly only when the evolving creature mind develops the reception capacity for them. </span></span></li>
</ul><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Key Moment: When Mortal Man First Experiences Full Ministry</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The revelation states clearly:</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;Mortal man first experiences the ministry of the Spirit in conjunction with mind when the purely animal mind of evolutionary creatures develops reception capacity for the adjutants of worship and of wisdom. This ministry of the sixth and seventh adjutants indicates mind evolution crossing the threshold of spiritual ministry. And immediately are such minds of worship- and wisdom-function included in the spiritual circuits of the Divine Minister [the Universe Mother Spirit].&rdquo; (<a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_034.html" target="_blank">Paper 34:5.3</a>)</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">At this point:</span></p><ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>The mind transitions from purely animal to human (will creature) status or what they refer to as human will dignity. The capacity to understand their Creator.</span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>All seven adjutants become fully operative and coordinated in the human intellect.</span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>The mind is instantly encircuited in the spirit cycles of the Universe Mother Spirit (becoming &ldquo;superminded&rdquo;).</span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>This opens the door for the first functioning of the Spirit of Truth and immediately the Thought Adjuster takes up residence in the human temple (body). This occurs on average when a child is 5 years and 8 months old or after 2134 days of life on Urantia</span></span></li>
</ul><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Additional Context from the Papers</span></p><ul style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in;">
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>The adjutants are present on primitive worlds from the early stages of organic evolution and condition its purposeful direction (<a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_036.html" target="_blank">Paper 36:5.1</a>). However, their full, unified function in a truly human mind occurs only with the appearance of worship (the religious impulse that distinguishes humans) and wisdom (the coordinator that unifies all prior adjutants). </span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>On Urantia specifically, this threshold was crossed approximately one million years ago with the emergence of the first human ancestors (the twins who could respond to worship and wisdom). </span></span></li>
	<li style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; vertical-align: middle; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span>Creature mind before the ability to recognize divinity and worship Deity is the exclusive domain of the adjutants; once spiritual response appears, the mind becomes superminded under the Mother Spirit&rsquo;s circuits (<a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_036.html">Paper 36:5.15</a>). </span></span></li>
</ul><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In summary, the seven adjutant mind-spirits begin functioning variably&mdash;the lower five much earlier in animal evolution&mdash;but they achieve full, unified operation in the human mind precisely when the mind develops receptivity to the adjutants of worship and wisdom. This marks the birth of true human (moral/spiritual) consciousness and the point at which the Universe Mother Spirit&rsquo;s ministry shifts from preparatory mind endowment to active spiritual encircuital involvement.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">And last but not least she also sends her Angels to guide and watch over us throughout our entire time on Urantia. When we desire to pray or worship many times it is our Guardian Angels who urged or nudged us to do so.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; color: black; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="135" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/3842/master/" width="180"></p><p style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; color: black; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p>]]></description>
