141:5.1 One of the most eventful of all the evening conferences at Amathus was the session having to do with the discussion of spiritual unity. James Zebedee had asked, “Master, how shall we learn to see alike and thereby enjoy more harmony among ourselves?” When Jesus heard this question, he was stirred within his spirit, so much so that he replied: “James, James, when did I teach you that you should all see alike? I have come into the world to proclaim spiritual liberty to the end that mortals may be empowered to live individual lives of originality and freedom before God. I do not desire that social harmony and fraternal peace shall be purchased by the sacrifice of free personality and spiritual originality. What I require of you, my apostles, is spirit unity – and that you can experience in the joy of your united dedication to the wholehearted doing of the will of my Father in heaven. You do not have to see alike or feel alike or even think alike in order spiritually to be alike. Spiritual unity is derived from the consciousness that each of you is indwelt, and increasingly dominated, by the spirit gift of the heavenly Father. Your apostolic harmony must grow out of the fact that the spirit hope of each of you is identical in origin, nature, and destiny.

United Unity

Longer nights and shorter days

Until the solstice does display.

We’ve yet to truly get first freeze.

I feel more thankful on my knees.

When on my knees, I must look up.

Pray to the One who fills my cup.

The day exists for me to live.

And bring me home when I’m adrift.

When on your knees, a thankful pose

Find your beauty, perhaps a rose.

See your smells, and smell the beauty.

Spread awareness, it’s your duty.

The Spirit of the life you live

Will lift you up to do His biz.

Love the fact that you’re aware.

Love uplifts, and takes you there.

Love has always been the answer!

Bellicosity leads to disaster!

Hateful words dissolve with love.

Love with kindness must evolve!

Someday, and it won’t be long

This world unites with “One God’s Song”.

We must see, and then accept

The God of Love, does not have sects.

Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim all

Christian, Jew, one God stands tall!

We must unite, and live in peace.

Accept that fact, One God’s replete!

Thank You, Father, of all worlds.

This speck of dust in space still whirls

On its journey through creation.

We will unite all of the nations!

39:4.14 The keys of the kingdom of heaven are: sincerity, more sincerity, and more sincerity. All men have these keys. Men use them – advance in spirit status – by decisions, by more decisions, and by more decisions. The highest moral choice is the choice of the highest possible value, and always – in any sphere, in all of them – this is to choose to do the will of God. If man thus chooses, he is great, though he be the humblest citizen of Jerusem or even the least of mortals on Urantia.

Sincerity

Autumn rains on this fine day.

Gloomy weather won’t dismay.

Many chores and things to do.

Inside I know God loves me too.

We’ll find ways to do what’s needed.

On this day, I’ll go where leaded.

I will look inside myself

And deal with the cards I’m dealt.

The way of life upon this day

Presents itself in different ways.

Different levels of pursuit

The way I choose gives me my route.

I have appointments to attend.

I’ll try to work all of them in

To be dependable in choice

Helps me hear the inner voice.

We all must see within our actions

How God’s will gives satisfactions.

Our motivations then will be

Based upon reality.

The inside look is paramount.

An honest look inside can daunt.

But when you look you have been found.

God will free where you’ve been bound.

Thank You, Father, for the day.

I know my best I need display!

At times I know I’ve fallen short

But I’m sincere I do report.

16:9.5 Civilizations are unstable because they are not cosmic; they are not innate in the individuals of the races. They must be nurtured by the combined contributions of the constitutive factors of man – science, morality, and religion. Civilizations come and go, but science, morality, and religion always survive the crash.

Our Inner War
The chill of rain demarks the season.
The chilliness gives us a reason
To prepare for what is coming.
Winter wakens, it is yawning.

Winter stretches as it wakes.
It changes things within its wake.
The flow of winter air comes close
And freezes us without our coats.

Turn on the heat, that is a must.
We don’t want our pipes to bust.
Fire was our first invention.
Controlling it gives comprehension.

What do we really truly know?
We’re still searching how to go.
Combustion with its CO2
Yields global warming, that is true.

Combustion of another substance?
Hydrogen yields water sustenance.
But industry is not set up.
Money structures do disrupt.

Can we see ourselves to change?
Or are we victims on this train?
Speeding onward, blindly seeking
Solutions while the time is ticking.

Thank You, Father, for Your Love.
On earth we need more, so we solve
Global warming and wars too.
With Trust and Faith we call on You!

70:3.4&5 The peace of Urantia will be promoted far more by international trade organizations than by all the sentimental sophistry of visionary peace planning. Trade relations have been facilitated by development of language and by improved methods of communication as well as by better transportation.
The absence of a common language has always impeded the growth of peace groups, but money has become the universal language of modern trade. Modern society is largely held together by the industrial market. The gain motive is a mighty civilizer when augmented by the desire to serve.

Peace for Now
There’s beauty here with autumn days.
Leaves are turning, colors blaze.
Pumpkins trim our autumn scenes.
Our autumn bounty shows our dreams

Halloween’s around the corner.
Witches brewing with much ardor.
They’ll be handing candy out.
Our children gasp with glee, then shout.

A happy time be had by all.
Children heed the candy call.
Costumes rule the social scene.
And we enact what’er we dream.

Acting out our dreams for real.
We do our best, the children squeal.
We want what’s best for every soul.
Peace on earth is just one goal.

Peace, and also what is best.
Peace, but filled with Holiness.
Love and Faith and Truth and Goodness
To find perfection, use Forgiveness.

These are goals within themselves.
A search for each, our fears dispelled.
As we walk along that road,
Peace within is our abode.

Thank You, Father, Peace exists.
On Peace within we must subsist.
Someday our world will know with pride,
The Peace for now that’s just inside

0:13.3 We are fully cognizant of the difficulties of our assignment; we recognize the impossibility of fully translating the language of the concepts of divinity and eternity into the symbols of the language of the finite concepts of the mortal mind. But we know that there dwells within the human mind a fragment of God, and that there sojourns with the human soul the Spirit of Truth; and we further know that these spiritforces conspire to enable material man to grasp the reality of spiritual values and to comprehend the philosophy of universe meanings. But even more certainly we know that these spirits of the Divine Presence are able to assist man in the spiritual appropriation of all truth contributory to the enhancement of the ever-progressing reality of personal religious experience – God-consciousness.

Hear Within (God consciousness)
Now the cooler air is here.
The freeze will come, I’m sure it’s near.
But for the next 10 days or so
The freeze will not impede green growth.

In general, we see more warmth
And more intensity with storms.
Longer growing seasons – North.
Warmer weather is the source.

Does this warmer weather warm
Our hearts and minds when we have storms?
This world evolves, it changes much.
Can we evolve and feel God’s touch?

We all are people on this earth.
It is the planet of our birth.
To go on, we must adapt
And look within before we act.

So simple, yet most do not know.
They believe God is a show.
Faith in God unlocks the Spirit.
Behavior changes once you hear it.

If you don’t do nothin’ else,
Look inside for Spirit wealth.
Wake your mind up, hear the Truth.
Live by it and get your proof.

As life evolves upon this sphere
Too many of us live with fear.
God exists inside for all!
No special groups to hear His call.

Thank You, Father, Your plan evolves.
It’s deep inside for all to solve.
Love unlocks, Faith spreads our wings.
Then You show us everything.

70:2.10 At one time physicians believed in bloodletting as a cure for many diseases, but they have since discovered better remedies for most of these disorders. And so must the international bloodletting of war certainly give place to the discovery of better methods for curing the ills of nations.

Our Best
A sunny day’s forecast today,
But cooler air is going to stay.
The forecast calls for 58.
You’ll need a coat when out the gate.

War more war is in the news.
Another war, both sides will lose.
No one wins when children die.
We send our kids into wars’ eye.

We send our best to help protect.
Aggression’s never circumspect.
Our best against the others best.
And most are killed before we rest.

So who wins when best are gone?
How does anger last so long?
Leaders who want war must be
Stopped where there’s democracy.

This world’s about to blow its top.
War begets and doesn’t stop.
Immature means bellicose!
It’s something in a warrior’s voice.

We all could live under one roof.
But fights for power have deep roots.
Strong man rule must use its force.
It won’t stand when love’s on course.

Help us Father, to achieve
A lasting peace where all believe.
We need Your Love in leaders’ hearts.
We must elect, so wars don’t start.

116:4.10 When the bestowal Sons reveal new ways for man to find God, they are not creating these paths of divinity attainment; rather are they illuminating the everlasting highways of progression which lead through the presence of the Supreme to the person of the Paradise Father.

Pathways&Byways
Rain to start this brand-new day.
It will work out, for that I pray.
No matter what the way ahead
Will be the way that I am lead.

To do your best, but then to fail
Gives perspectives that prevail.
There’s no better way to learn.
The way ahead will be well earned.

One knows that he or she must change.
Adapting sometimes seems so strange.
To learn means we must find new ways.
It’s always hard to change our play.

Look for inner path direction.
There is a light that shows correction.
The light inside will lead you to
A satisfaction with what’s true.

The truth is changing all the time
And yet it’s constantly Divine.
You must be open for there’s change.
Don’t get stuck, cuz that’s a pain!

TBG that old triad
Can help direct and make you glad.
The Truth has Beauty, Goodness too.
Love’s the answer, it’s what to do.

Updates yes, our underway.
To change a mind love must hold sway.
We can unite with common goals.
Uphold what’s true and play your role.

Thank You, Father, Spirit of all.
Inside is where we hear Your call.
And each must choose to go towards light
And then pursue with all our might.

113:1.1 The teaching about guardian angels is not a myth; certain groups of human beings do actually have personal angels. It was in recognition of this that Jesus, in speaking of the children of the heavenly kingdom, said: “Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones, for I say to you, their angels do always behold the presence of the spirit of my Father.”

Guardian Angels
To be upset is not the course.
Heaven hopes we’ll show remorse.
Frustrations, if allowed to build
Present a block to do what’s willed.

Don’t let your anger have its way.
Twill only lead you to dismay.
Anger leads to more mistakes.
Don’t let it have the power to break.

Respond with caution to frustration.
It implies a redirection.
A time and place need more inspection.
Choose to follow God‘s perfection.

One can’t know how cards are played.
The Angels choose, direct your ways.
Know they love you, but must do
As God’s will directs them to.

They anticipate your best.
They want your choice to reduce stress.
So anger cannot have its way.
Your search for Truth is what’s at play.

Angels can be your best friend.
Cooperate with what They’ve planned.
As you wish yourself to be,
They’ll help God’s plan be what you see.

Thank You, Father, You know best.
And to your Angels I’m Their guest.
They guard my soul towards Your direction
So in the end, All gain perfection.

48:6.8+ Even on Urantia they counsel the human teachers of truth and righteousness to adhere to the preaching of “the goodness of God, which leads to repentance,” to proclaim “the love of God, which casts out all fear.” Even so have these truths been declared on your world:
The Gods are my caretakers; I shall not stray;
Side by side they lead me in the beautiful paths and glorious refreshing of life everlasting.
I shall not, in this Divine Presence, want for food nor thirst for water.
Though I go down into the valley of uncertainty or ascend up into the worlds of doubt,
Though I move in loneliness or with the fellows of my kind,
Though I triumph in the choirs of light or falter in the solitary places of the spheres,
Your good spirit shall minister to me, and your glorious angel will comfort me.
Though I descend into the depths of darkness and death itself,
I shall not doubt you nor fear you,
For I know that in the fullness of time and the glory of your name
You will raise me up to sit with you on the battlements on high.

World Wishes
I wish this world were really cool.
With global warming I’m no fool.
Science wins the physics world.
The Spirit is what God controls.

Cool in spirit, a thinking world
A place where God’s Will is unfurled.
Angry politics has no place.
It can’t depict a loving face.

How they wake with morning light
And go to work prepared to fight?
Do they pray before they start
And find God’s plan within their hearts?

To fight is not the way of love.
Above our fights we must evolve.
We want what’s best for everyone.
The fight inside is Spirit won.

A Spiritual world someday will be.
God’s Will unites humanity.
Look within, you’ll find Him there.
To love Him makes you more aware.

If we would truly strive for peace
Love would show the way, believe!
Make love of others be what you
Accomplish in the things you do.

The way ahead will slowly be
As God rolls out our destiny.
Thank the Lord, His Love exists.
The way with Him can then persist.

Thank You, Father, Love pursues.
A love with kindness I will use.
Your Will gives Faith that what I do
Helps this world pursue the Truth.

12:7.0 There is operative throughout all time and space and with regard to all reality of whatever nature an inexorable and impersonal law which is equivalent to the function of a cosmic providence. Mercy characterizes God’s attitude of love for the individual; impartiality motivates God’s attitude toward the total. The will of God does not necessarily prevail in the part – the heart of any one personality – but his will does actually rule the whole, the universe of universes.

A Better World
A perfect weather day’s on tap.
Open windows’ breeze a fact.
Freshened air with morning dew.
A day of promise here for you

Much can happen, the day is good.
We will be rappin’ ‘bout Your Book.
Study groups around the world
Show that Your Book’s gained footholds.

Advancement occurs every day
As more of us do find Your Way.
Inner hate can’t motivate
As it does slow you’re thinking rate.

One has to think to find what’s best.
And hate will never give one rest.
Bellicosity must be controlled.
Don’t let its countenance unfold.

Keep your cool inside and out.
Unite yourself within, don’t pout.
Accept that perfect is not yet.
And do your best before you rest.

Thinking is what’s most important.
Don’t be shy, show good deportment.
Courage blooms when best is done.
Be patient with yourself, don’t run.

Dearest Father, I pray for peace.
One man rule has got to cease.
Democracies aren’t all the same,
But more of Love they do contain.

1:5.15 The absolute perfection of the infinite God would cause him to suffer the awful limitations of unqualified finality of perfectness were it not a fact that the Universal Father directly participates in the personality struggle of every imperfect soul in the wide universe who seeks, by divine aid, to ascend to the spiritually perfect worlds on high. This progressive experience of every spirit being and every mortal creature throughout the universe of universes is a part of the Father’s ever-expanding Deity-consciousness of the never-ending divine circle of ceaseless self-realization.

Your Choice
Cool for summer, that’s for sure.
There’s beauty here, most do concur.
Luxuriant growth with recent rains
Will help us harvest much for grain.

The beauty that we see today
Invigorates in many ways.
Problems seem to fade away
When our best we do display.

Try your best, see what occurs.
To fail’s a gift, a lesson learned.
Don’t give up, just redirect.
The best for you has not been yet.

The path ahead we cannot know
But we can follow beauty’s glow.
The ring we hear’s the ring of truth.
Listen closely, that’s your proof.

Faith will show where you can go.
Faith unlocks God’s loving flow.
At times He digs around your roots
He knows what’s best, do not dispute.

He helps you grow the fruits of Heaven.
When needed, He provides you leaven.
A catalyst, a push to grow
He’ll throw a line, take you in tow.

Thank You, Father’s not enough.
The path I’ve taken has been rough.
But through it all, You helped me bear
The burdens that I chose to dare

1:0.4 This magnificent and universal injunction to strive for the attainment of the perfection of divinity is the first duty, and should be the highest ambition, of all the struggling creature creation of the God of perfection. This possibility of the attainment of divine perfection is the final and certain destiny of all man’s eternal spiritual progress.

Directions
An early start to this fine day.
It’s nice to just wake up this way.
My cobwebs must be cleared at first
Make right decisions, don’t be adverse.

Just start the day, do what is right.
Don’t let fear destroy your plights.
Stand your ground, do not take flight.
Decide to do with all your might.

Your best is all that you can do.
It’s good enough to pull you through.
Faith will give you loves direction.
Follow that, you’ll gain perfection.

That’s the way that I will go.
Interpret things until I know.
Faith will lead me to the Truth
The road itself provides me proof.

The road is good, it’s paved with hearts.
Each one loves, and plays a part.
Love cements the rode together.
It’s heart filled and lasts forever.

What a road, and what a journey.
Potentials change, so act superbly.
Your best is worth it to your soul.
To be perfect is the goal.

Thank You, Father, for all the Love.
My share of it’s helped me evolve.
Words can’t express my gratitude
As Faith unlocks my aptitude.

48:6.5&6 On the mansion worlds the seraphic evangels will help you to choose wisely among the optional routes to Edentia, Salvington, Uversa, and Havona. If there are a number of equally advisable routes, these will be put before you, and you will be permitted to select the one that most appeals to you. These seraphim then make recommendations to the four and twenty advisers on Jerusem concerning that course which would be most advantageous for each ascending soul.
You are not given unrestricted choice as to your future course; but you may choose within the limits of that which the transition ministers and their superiors wisely determine to be most suitable for your future spirit attainment. The spirit world is governed on the principle of respecting your freewill choice provided the course you may choose is not detrimental to you or injurious to your fellows.

A Wiser Plant

No rain today, we’ll have bright sun.
Still,Fall weather has begun.
Cooler weather overall.
That’s how we know it’s truly Fall.

Experience shows us that is true.
It helps us know just what to do.
Prepare for weather that is coming.
Protect our flowers, weather’s changing.

Some perennials need attention.
Protect their roots from cold’s intention.
Newly planted ones will need
Water, so their roots can feed.

Tender care when the seasons change
Promote things living on our range.
That includes all people, too.
Take care of them in what you do.

Doing what is best for all.
God wants us all to hear His call.
Do your best to make decisions
That help promote Truth and God’s Wisdom.

Wiser as we gain experience.
God knows us all with His omniscience.
Try to do your best to be
In touch with true reality.

Thank You, Father, wisdom gains.
Our history shows we’ve had some pain.
But overall, we do advance.
We find new ways so life’s enhanced.

195:6.1 Scientists have unintentionally precipitated mankind into a materialistic panic; they have started an unthinking run on the moral bank of the ages, but this bank of human experience has vast spiritual resources; it can stand the demands being made upon it. Only unthinking men become panicky about the spiritual assets of the human race. When the materialistic-secular panic is over, the religion of Jesus will not be found bankrupt. The spiritual bank of the kingdom of heaven will be paying out faith, hope, and moral security to all who draw upon it “in His name.”

Peace Panic
Has 911 changed what we,
Do and see in 23?
We know it’s changed security
But has it change the way we see?

Events erupt from our past times.
We have parades by our design.
Parades can mark our victories,
But sometimes we are on our knees.

Bad things that happened in our past
Can have effects that last and last.
We had more joy in times gone by,
Or were we blind and did not try?

What have we learned from 911?
What did we do, what have we done?
More peace is what I wish to ask
Is that not truly our main task?

We didn’t turn the other cheek!
No we didn’t, we weren’t meek.
We tried to force our will on others.
It did not work, they are our brothers.

So much war gave others license
To invade despite defiance.
We’re consumed by wars destruction.
A pyrrhic victory’s in discussion.

Thank You, Father, You’re in charge.
So far, this war is not too large.
I pray for peace upon this planet
Before destruction makes us panic.
