      Socialization of Religion
      There is a real purpose in the socialization of religion. It is the purpose of group religious activities to dramatize the loyalties of religion; to magnify the lures of truth, beauty, and goodness; to foster the attractions of supreme values; to enhance the service of unselfish fellowship; to glorify the potentials of family life... 99:6.2 |https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_099.html#99:6.2

        Verily, verily,

        Verily, verily, I say to you, whosoever receives not the kingdom of God as a little child shall hardly enter therein to grow up to the full stature of spiritual manhood."

          Interaction with others
          He was always ready and willing to stop a sermon or detain a multitude while he ministered to the needs of a single person, even to a little child.

              "Forget not that I will stop at nothing to restore

                Spiritual Assurance Formula
                Spiritual assurance is the equivalent of your personal religious experience in the eternal realities of divine truth and is otherwise equal to your intelligent understanding of truth realities plus your spiritual faith and minus your honest doubts.

                    The Desiderata was a series of though gems received by Max Ehrmann through autorevelation from his divine indweller and placed into a Poem called "The Desiderata" which means (something that is needed or wanted)
                     
                    These beautiful thought gems can provide guidance especially to the youth of this world. As a young man I memorized these thought gems and they provided much guidance as I myself learned to listen to the inner voice of the divine monitor.
                     
                    The revelations of God flash on earth in the lives of those who reveal God to their fellows,
                     
                    Here are the lyrics from the video above.
                     
                    Lyrics
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right...
                    Desiderata, desiderata, desiderata
                    Go placidly amid the noise and haste
                    And remember what peace there may be in silence
                    As far as possible without surrender
                    Be on good terms with all persons
                    Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others -
                    Even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story
                    Avoid loud and aggressive persons - they are vexations to the spirit
                    If you compare yourself with others
                    You may become vain and bitter
                    For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right to be here
                    And whether or not it is clear to you
                    No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should
                    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans
                    Keep interested in your own career -
                    However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time
                    Exercise caution in your business affairs
                    For the world is full of trickery
                    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is
                    Many persons strive for high ideals
                    And everywhere life is full of heroism
                    Be yourself!
                    Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love
                    For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
                    It is as perennial as the grass
                    Take kindly the counsel of the years
                    Gracefully surrendering the things of youth
                    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune
                    But do not distress yourself with imaginings -
                    Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness
                    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself
                    You are a child of the universe (You are a child of the universe)
                    No less than the trees and the stars (No less than the trees and the stars)
                    You have a right to be here (You have a right to be here)
                    And whether or not it is clear to you (And whether or not it is clear to you)
                    No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should (No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should)
                    Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be
                    And whatever your labors and aspirations
                    In the noisy confusion of life
                    Keep peace with your soul
                    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams
                    It is still a beautiful world
                    Be careful. Strive to be happy
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right to be here
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right to be here
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right to be here
                    You are a child of the universe
                    No less than the trees and the stars
                    You have a right to be here
                    You are a child of the universe...

                          Pay close attention, Africa. The future of the united Nations of Africa are dependent upon this truth postulate. "A social group of human beings in co-ordinated working harmony stands for a force far greater than the simple sum of its parts."
