	<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">My friend... when I was but a young man about your age, first starting to read <strong>The Urantia Book</strong>, in 1970, I didn&#39;t have a clue. I could not have asked the intelligent question you are asking, now. Meditate and pray for your&nbsp;deepening&nbsp;wisdom-insight into even this single quote:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;The divine spirit makes contact with mortal man, not by feelings or emotions, but in the realm of the highest and most spiritualized thinking. The Urantia Book,<strong> (101:1.3)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">What is the first duty of the mortal children of our Paradise Father? When you seek the meaning of your life here on Urantia, you will find it in the following quote:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;Jesus&#39; earthly life was devoted to one great purpose&mdash;doing the Father&#39;s will, living the human life religiously and by faith.&nbsp; <strong>The Urantia Book, (196:0.14)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When you become this one great purpose...you will set your life path course upon developing your natural and divinely endowed talents, honing your natural skills into masterful talents.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Consider the true meaning in this principle, one of the twenty-eight found in <strong>Paper 48. - THE MORONTIA LIFE</strong>:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">48:7.6 (556.6)&nbsp; 4. Few mortals ever dare to draw anything like the sum of personality credits established by the combined ministries of nature and grace. The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Our endowment of mind and inherited talents, ever seeking to give Father&#39;s indwelling Thought Adjuster presence our increasingly, morally decisive, and sincere cooperation is the composite of our treasure trove of true riches.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Develop your skills and talents, along with the growth of your soul, leading to truer and truer character, loyalty to the highest hue-man virtues, and divine spirit values, and you will naturally begin to look for each and every opportunity, no matter how small and trivial, or how great and challenging, to be of service to fellow children of God.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Herein...I am speaking of &quot;divine love,&quot; the love that Michael of Nebadon, our Sovereign Creator Father--Joshua Ben Joseph--Jesus of Nazareth, as we know of him, while he was here, loved not only those Apostles and followers, who sat at his feet and followed him to the bitter end, but also loved and asked that his enemies be forgiven, while hanging on a Roman Cross in agony. He manifest our Paradise Father&#39;s divine love, not only for all mortal children on Urantia, but for all mortal and morontia children on all worlds.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Did not our Master say... &quot;No greater love can a man have than to lay down his life for his friends?&quot;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Set aside all self-importance to become the keen observer of the needs of fellow beings, and you shall surely find how you can begin to be of service to the higher, and even the highest good, for both an individual fellow child of God, and for all fellow children of our divine Parents.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Always remember: &quot;I am&quot; are the two most powerful words in every language on Urantia. Whichever words follow &quot;I am,&quot; for example: &quot;I am a masterful artist.&quot; &quot;I am a masterful carpenter.&quot; I am a masterful musician.&quot; &quot;I am a masterful speaker.&quot; &quot;I am a masterful poet.&quot;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I will share with you the first Urantia-based poem I wrote:</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Could The End Be Just The Beginning?<br />
(03/10/1972)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">There existed a man...whose skin was colored blue,<br />
Who desired to share all the knowledge he grew<br />
With all other men living in the world around him...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">But all men despised the color of his skin<br />
Or so he thought until he met another man<br />
Whose skin was colored...green</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Said he smiling to the green man...&quot;We&#39;re two of a kind in this land.&quot;<br />
And thus...their friendship began when the world<br />
Was very close to...self-destruction...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Said the green man to the blue man...<br />
&quot;Is there nothing we can do, friend,<br />
To make the world a better place in which to live?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Said then the blue man to the green man...<br />
&quot;Let us join, now, our hands in an effort to banish ignorance<br />
and segregative isolation among the golden men.&quot;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">So they traveled, hand in hand...over mountains, crossing rivers,<br />
and through the valleys and fields, joining hands with other men,<br />
As they hunted for outcasts of all colors...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">And as time passed...this little band of two...grew...<br />
Until there were a thousand and two...<br />
And within a year there were more than one hundred thousand...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Said the green man to the blue man...<br />
&quot;The time is now due...when we shall visit punishment<br />
upon the heads of the race with golden skin...&quot;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;But,&quot; said the blue man to the green man...&quot;Tell me, brother,&nbsp;<br />
Where we would be, now, if we had not vowed to bring unity&nbsp;<br />
To the very people we first thought to hate us...?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Do you not see the many outcasts with golden skin<br />
Scattered amongst this hundred thousand?&quot;<br />
Rather...let us be...patient...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">For impatience is like poison...and let us keep searching this land&nbsp;<br />
For those outcasts among men...until the day when<br />
We shall have swallowed the world around us...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">For observedly that day in time is upon us...<br />
Even now it is drawing nigh...when all men shall perceive well...<br />
It is more God-like to love the being</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">...Instead of the shell in which he was created&hellip;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Since then...I have developed my language and writing skills into those of a &quot;masterful poet,&quot; writing almost 1,000 Urantia-based poems over the next 50+ years of living and experiencing. Today, my poetry is an advanced master class, and I am finally planning to go public to teach from both my poetry and <strong>The Urantia Book</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Share my message to you with as many others as possible in your community. Set about openly and transparently building individual and community trust, loyalty, and trustworthiness, and by ever-increasing faith in our Father&#39;s will in your personal and collective lives, you will, individually and together, achieve great things, because...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;Great things are waiting to be achieved...right where you find yourself.&quot;</span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Timothy - The Spirit Whisperer</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><b>Always Remember:&nbsp;</b>When you give food to one who knows not how to grow food, he will ever be in need of more food. When you teach one how to grow food, he is now empowered to grow food, not only for his family and himself / herself, but to share with all those in need around him / her. I speak herein of the hue-man, the morontia soul, and divine indwelling Thought Adjuster, and in remembrance of Michael - Jesus.</span></p>]]></description>
