52:1.7 All mortals who are indwelt by Thought Adjusters are potential worshipers; they have been “lighted by the true light,” and they possess capacity for seeking reciprocal contact with divinity. Nevertheless, the early or biologic religion of primitive man is largely a persistence of animal fear coupled with ignorant awe and tribal superstition. The survival of superstition in the Urantia races is hardly complimentary to your evolutionary development nor compatible with your otherwise splendid achievements in material progress. But this early fear religion serves a very valuable purpose in subduing the fiery tempers of these primitive creatures. It is the forerunner of civilization and the soil for the subsequent planting of the seeds of revealed religion by the Planetary Prince and his ministers.

A Lighted Path
Beauty’s perfection rules the day.
The sun shines brightly on our ways.
The temps are perfect, warm not hot.
I give thanks for what I’ve got!

We must make the best of things.
Awake to what this life can bring.
Rich in spirit that’s heartfelt.
Experience is the heart of wealth!

Looking back, I am rich indeed.
There’s selfishness there, perhaps some greed.
To follow those on TV news?
Without a Spirit goal, you lose!

Never lose faith in yourself!
God within you chose and dealt
You and yours, your hands in life.
The growth within you’re going to like!

It’s a joy to know you’ve grown!
In looking back, mistakes you own.
No excuse for bad behavior.
You must learn to go through failure!

There’re blessings gained from no where/when else.
Do not fear to face yourself!
Recognize where you are at.
Find your pathway to God’s act.

Thank You, Father, Spirit Guide.
You’ve helped me not broadcast my pride.
And to know You deep inside
My lighted youth inside won’t die!

132:4.4 As might have been expected, such a versatile and aggressive man could not thus function for six months in the world’s metropolis without being approached by numerous persons who desired to secure his services in connection with some business or, more often, for some project of teaching, social reform, or religious movement. More than a dozen such proffers were made, and he utilized each one as an opportunity for imparting some thought of spiritual ennoblement by well-chosen words or by some obliging service. Jesus was very fond of doing things – even littlethings – for all sorts of people.

Little Things
Up before the sun today
Today we’ll play, it’s Saturday!
Rain and snow may come our way
But that won’t stop the plans we’ve made.

Today it’s possible I’ll go mad
With all the upsets we have had.
Basketball takes center stage,
But soon we’ve turned another page.

What today seems so important
Is not much – may be discordant
To the song we sing through life.
We must tune out what does divide.

Turning to the words we say
The truth can speak love every day.
You have a skill within that shows.
So follow It, and where It goes.

Patience often works out well.
God’s within us all, pray tell
Let His plan for you work out.
Try to see what God’s about.

Anticipate the very best.
Your track is right when you can rest.
Things will work out as they should.
May God’s love be understood.

Thank You, Father, the day is young.
And yes, Your universe is far-flung.
You made me then put Yourself
Within me, I am then Your elf.

150:5.4 When Jesus had left off speaking, there was great rejoicing among those who had heard these gracious words, and they all went on in the days that followed proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom with new power and with renewed energy and enthusiasm. And the women rejoiced all the more to know they were included in these plans for the establishment of the kingdom on earth.

Rejoiceful
Spring, sun, and cooler temps
Light the day, there is suspense.
Choirs sing, and we drive miles.
The grass is green, it brings us smiles.

Rejoiceful vibes are in the air.
Life is full, and we’re aware.
God is in us all and we
See improving history.

Yes, there are places still at war
On this earth, that way’s well worn.
We must solve the way we live
So we don’t fight and learn to give.

So many souls of many colors.
We need to learn we all are brothers.
Every planet paints a portrait.
It reflects the peoples' torments.

We will improve if we just try.
It will take years, I don’t deny.
But in the future there will be
A love filled planet’s destiny.

We are a shrine where Christ our Lord
Gave His life upon a board.
Nails pierced through His bone and flesh.
He gave His life so we refresh.

We will refresh what we believe.
We’re going to find “God lives in me.”
He will show us what to be
And give us Divine destiny.

94:7.3 Amid the confusion and extreme cult practices of India, the saner and more moderate teachings of Gautama came as a refreshing relief. He denounced gods, priests, and their sacrifices, but he too failed to perceive the personality of the One Universal. Not believing in the existence of individual human souls, Gautama, of course, made a valiant fight against the time-honored belief in transmigration of the soul. He made a noble effort to deliver men from fear, to make them feel at ease and at home in the great universe, but he failed to show them the pathway to that real and supernal home of ascending mortals – Paradise – and to the expanding service of eternal existence.

Pathways Ahead
A shifting day with rain and sun.
Spring weather patterns have begun.
We can adopt a Farmer’s role.
The work it takes can take a toll.

A Farmer’s work is never done.
There’s always work, but it can be fun.
To feed the things that are alive—
A daily chore that helps them thrive.

Always thinking how to help
Improve the lives that plants are dealt.
Improve the lives of livestock too.
When harvest comes, there’s much to do.

We all must find our paths in life.
To stay with what one truly likes
Is wise, but other ways must be
Explored by us individually.

Everything we can imagine,
Can be explored if we have passion.
To use our minds to find direction,
Helps reflect your thinking’s fashion.

We all have different takes on things.
Our minds receive, perception brings
A unity of thought – ideas.
Decisions then can help one heal.

Thank You, Father, things occur
Along Your path when Faith endures
That helps us all achieve and love.
This worlds confusions will be solved!

81:6.37&38 13. Effective and wise leadership. In civilization much, very much, depends on an enthusiastic and effective load-pulling spirit. Ten men are of little more value than one in lifting a great load unless they lift together – all at the same moment. And such teamwork – social co-operation – is dependent on leadership. The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorousleadership.
High civilizations are born of the sagacious correlation of material wealth, intellectual greatness, moral worth, social cleverness, and cosmic insight.

Faith in Numbers
Migrants coming to our shores.
Fleeing conditions they abhor.
What to do when there’s no room?
Peace on earth can’t be too soon!

Tides of people, what to do?
We need a plan, then follow through.
All the good land has been taken.
We need more space from lands forsaken.

High-rise buildings help to use
The space we have if we so choose.
I think The Chinese built their space.
With empty structures, they are graced.

Too bad this world is not united.
Too bad we were led by selfish minded.
Sometime, someplace, someway, somehow
An altruist will lend know how.

Every day a new day dawns
We’re closer to eternity’s song.
Faith and knowing are separate things.
With faith reward’s a Spirit thing.

With living faith, you tap into
An energy source inside of you.
No matter what mistakes you’ve made.
Have the faith, you made the grade.

It’s easier when you’ve tried your best.
Without that effort, your faith is less.
Thank You, Father, I’ll employ.
All my being to find Your joy!

"Love is who you are
Your true self is pure love,infinite awareness, and unbounded joy .
As you realise this, you will feel a small light in your heart.
At first it will be the size of a spark, then a candle flame, then a raging bonfire"

Your soul never ages, it just gets wiser and wiser with every lifetime.
How indescribably beautiful it is when you have completely settled into yourself and your life. Nothing needs to be said and nothing needs to be done anymore.
Neither for yourself nor for anyone else.
You can peacefully flow with life just like it is.
This is the epitome of wonderful freedom in yourself and with everything around you.
The masterpice of abudance
Your fullfillment
Love Simon

100:4.2 Religious perplexities are inevitable; there can be no growth without psychic conflict and spiritual agitation. The organization of a philosophic standard of living entails considerable commotion in the philosophic realms of the mind. Loyalties are not exercised in behalf of the great, the good, the true, and the noble without a struggle. Effort is attendant upon clarification of spiritual vision and enhancement of cosmic insight. And the human intellect protests against being weaned from subsisting upon the nonspiritual energies of temporal existence. The slothful animal mind rebels at the effort required to wrestle with cosmic problem solving.

Advance to Your Calling
The promise of the day begins.
Anticipation helps us win.
Expect what is the very best.
Remove your fear, do nothing less.

Attitude puts you on course.
A positive mind helps to enforce
Decisions that help you to grow.
Fear’s your chance, let courage show!

Don’t waver in the face of fear.
Let wisdom guide, and have a good cheer.
Do what you know to be right!
Enhance this world with all your might!

I can see someday there will
Be a world that love instilled.
We will do what’s good for all.
The rule of God will be installed!

I can see it’s not tomorrow.
We’re fear instilled, there’s too much sorrow.
Time will heal, but still we’ll make
More mistakes, that’s what it takes!

That is truly how we learn.
Past empires were much more stern!
Living here becomes more just
As to the now, we do adjust!

Father, thank You, for insight.
Our history truly sheds some light
Upon the path we can expect.
We will improve, but by small steps.

196:3.15 The moral values of the universe become intellectual possessions by the exercise of the three basic judgments, or choices, of the mortal mind:
1. Self-judgment – moral choice.
2. Social-judgment – ethical choice.
3. God-judgment – religious choice.
Thus it appears that all human progress is effected by a technique of conjoint revelational evolution.

Candle Lighting
Days of beauty stretch before us.
It’s truly Spring out in the forest.
The flowers of Spring bloom many colors.
But green is first, then color follows.

In Spring and Summer flowers show
Many colors as they grow.
They don’t stop until the freeze.
Winter whites then blanche our trees.

I love the colors that I see.
I learn from God inside of me.
An open mind with faith in love
Helps me as I problem solve.

The problems we all face in life
Are solved no matter what our stripes.
Time goes on to life’s conclusion.
We learn lessons from confusion.

That’s the school we call “hard knocks.”
If we don’t learn, our lives can stop.
Often times that makes us listen.
We finally learn another lesson!

A stubborn mind means stunted growth.
So many lost, and are morose.
Don’t be stubborn, please accept
God’s not finished with you yet!

Thank You, Lord, for life on earth.
You gave Your Son, and caused His birth.
You’ve recorded His example.
When we read, You light our candles.
