^111:4.3 The advances of true civilization are all born in this inner world of mankind. It is only the inner life that is truly creative. Civilization can hardly progress when the majority of the youth of any generation devote their interests and energies to the materialistic pursuits of the sensory or outer world.

  ^111:4.4 The inner and the outer worlds have a different set of values. Any civilization is in jeopardy when three quarters of its youth enter materialistic professions and devote themselves to the pursuit of the sensory activities of the outer world. Civilization is in danger when youth neglect to interest themselves in ethics, sociology, eugenics, philosophy, the fine arts, religion, and cosmology.

  ^111:4.5 Only in the higher levels of the superconscious mind as it impinges upon the spirit realm of human experience can you find those higher concepts in association with effective master patterns which will contribute to the building of a better and more enduring civilization. Personality is inherently creative, but it thus functions only in the inner life of the individual.

  ^111:4.6 Snow crystals are always hexagonal in form, but no two are ever alike. Children conform to types, but no two are exactly alike, even in the case of twins. Personality follows types but is always unique.

Here is finished watercolor in all her beach baby glory. I like the way the seascape horizon cuts across her eyes emphasizing her inquisitive eyes.

112:4.2 In some way not fully understood, the Universal Censors are able to gain possession of an epitome of the human life as it is embodied in the Adjuster’s duplicate transcription of the spiritual values and morontia meanings of the indwelt mind. The Censors are able to appropriate the Adjuster’s version of the deceased human’s survival character and spiritual qualities, and all this data, together with the seraphic records, is available for presentation at the time of the adjudication of the individual concerned. This information is also used to confirm those superuniverse mandates which make it possible for certain ascenders immediately to begin their morontia careers, upon mortal dissolution to proceed to the mansion worlds ahead of the formal termination of a planetary dispensation.

The Way Ahead
The year is young and I slept in.
My wife and I saw it begin.
There was joy throughout the world.
It spread as Your Will was unfurled!

Do we Trust with Living Faith?
Entrust your will, and find your fate.
Open up the eyes that see
And change your course through reality.

You’re going to feel an inner glow
As your will gets in the flow.
Of Eternity’s Time Creator.
Love is always a peacemaker!

To get to peace we go through war.
We must learn why we do abhor
War’s face when it is at our door.
Of loving kindness, we need more!

What a world in which to live
Where some have never learned to give.
Power corrupts us at our core.
Must history repeat like before?

Not if Love will stand against
The evilness that is intense.
Evil tricks will be exposed
By your insight as it grows!

Thank You, Father, the road ahead
Is something we need learn, not dread.
Faith that Goodness will prevail.
Provides Your blaze upon my trail.
