Civilizational Collapse? Interregnum or New Renaissance
Civilizational Collapse? Interregnum or New Renaissance
Our theme is Truth. Happiness ensues from the recognition of truth because it can be acted out; it can be lived. The unerring response of the ever-present Spirit of Truth. An Interregnum is: - ‘The crisis consists precisely in the fact that THE OLD IS DYING …and THE NEW CANNOT BE BORN; in this interregnum between where we are ....and where we need to get to in order to create a world that works for everyone. “the mass of humanity lead lives of quiet desperation …and go to the grave with their song still in them." This could also be the definition of Anomie. When a social system is in a state of Anomie; (or - Anomic) common values and common meanings are no longer understood or accepted, …and new values and meanings have not yet developed. Such a society produces, in many of its members, psychological states characterized by a sense of futility, lack of purpose, depression, anxiety, emotional emptiness and despair. For so many Striving is considered useless, because there is no accepted definition of what is desirable. We all know someone who fits this description…. Don’t we? All each of us needs to do is ask ourselves “WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
195:5.12.As you view the world, remember that the black patches of evil which you see are shown against a white background of ultimate good. You do not view merely white patches of good which show up miserably against a black background of evil.
195:5.13.When there is so much good truth to publish and proclaim, why should men dwell so much upon the evil in the world just because it appears to be a fact? The beauties of the spiritual values of truth are more pleasurable and uplifting than is the phenomenon of evil.

The Urantia Book The Urantia Book was given to the peoples of our planet, in order that we might learn more of this Cosmic relationship with humanity and our relationship to the universe. This revelation has been given us in the form of a book, one which recapitulates the origin, history and destiny of our world with additional truth illuminating man's place in the universe of universes. We are here in accordance with the Cosmic plan, a plan of infinite scope which involves the perfection of the grand universe, extending to near-infinity, and in which each of us is privileged to play a unique and valuable part. Humanity is passing through a great age of expanding horizons and enlarging concepts on our planet, and our cosmic philosophy must accelerate in evolution in order to keep pace with the expansion of the intellectual arena of human thought. As the cosmic consciousness of humanity expands, we perceive the interrelatedness of all that we find in our material science, intellectual philosophy, and spiritual insight. Still, with all this belief in the unity of the cosmos, we still perceive the diversity of all existence. And this is what makes us strong.
