71:4.17 Idealism can never survive on an evolving planet if the idealists in each generation permit themselves to be exterminated by the baser orders of humanity. And here is the great test of idealism: Can an advanced society maintain that military preparedness which renders it secure from all attack by its war-loving neighbors without yielding to the temptation to employ this military strength in offensive operations against other peoples for purposes of selfish gain or national aggrandizement? National survival demands preparedness, and religious idealism alone can prevent the prostitution of preparedness into aggression. Only love, brotherhood, can prevent the strong from oppressing the weak.

Love & War
A little warmer, yes, today
But very pleasant anyway.
A day to do most anything
And be prepared for what life brings.

A day to increase beauty’s grace.
Find beauty in the things you face.
Don’t deface, please just enhance.
Keep up your pace, and do God’s dance.

What’s the best thing you can do?
Do it today with follow-through!
Innately you know when you’re on
And dancing to our Father’s song.

Fan the flames of Faith with fervor!
Faith is what will take you further!
Faith in goodness being right
Gives direction to God’s light!

What be right, and what be wrong?
That’s a very human song.
Yet most know within their hearts
How love there had its first start.

When love’s first upon the scene,
It doesn’t take long before it’s seen
There is a way through war’s deceit.
Love’s the answer! – War’s defeat!

Thank You, Father, I know You
Have a plan with follow-through.
Though there’s war, we will achieve.
World lasting peace, hard to believe!

OCEAN OF WISDOM

A poor man always think the rich man made his wealth out of luck.

And the rich man believes the poor is poor because he is lazy.

A young lady who married very early thinks ladies who are finding it hard to get married have bad character.

A man who just graduated and get a job immediately thinks he is smarter than others.

While a woman who just got married and start giving birth sees "barren" women as people who lived a wayward life.

If only the poor knew the price the rich paid to get to top and if only the rich knows the battles, challenges that the poor is going through, none will ever form a theory about each other.

If the poor can't appreciate the rich man's success let him mind his business if it is easy to be rich he wouldn't have been poor.

And if the rich won't help the poor grow at least they should not kill the spirit of a struggling man.

If only you know what people endure or fight behind the scene you will always thank God for your life. Until you walk in people's shoes, You will never know how hard the journey is.

Help each other grow!!!
Mock less, envy no one.
and love one another.

It's a Revelation For The Now Generation!!!

Jesus Comforts His Disciples John 14: Verses 1-5
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God a ; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

The Urantia Book 180:3.4
180:3.4 (1947.3) “Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; continue to believe also in me. Even though I must leave you, I will not be far from you. I have already told you that in my Father’s universe there are many tarrying-places. If this were not true, I would not have repeatedly told you about them. I am going to return to these worlds of light, stations in the Father’s heaven to which you shall sometime ascend. From these places I came into this world, and the hour is now at hand when I must return to my Father’s work in the spheres on high.
180:3.5 (1947.4) “If I thus go before you into the Father’s heavenly kingdom, so will I surely send for you that you may be with me in the places that were prepared for the mortal sons of God before this world was. Even though I must leave you, I will be present with you in spirit, and eventually you shall be with me in person when you have ascended to me in my universe even as I am about to ascend to my Father in his greater universe. And what I have told you is true and everlasting, even though you may not fully comprehend it. I go to the Father, and though you cannot now follow me, you shall certainly follow me in the ages to come.”

John 16: Verse 33
33“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

The Urantia Book 181:1.4
181:1.4 (1954.1) “The Father sent me into this world, but only a few of you have chosen fully to receive me. I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, but all men will not choose to receive this new teacher as the guide and counselor of the soul. But as many as do receive him shall be enlightened, cleansed, and comforted. And this Spirit of Truth will become in them a well of living water springing up into eternal life.
181:1.5 (1954.2) “And now, as I am about to leave you, I would speak words of comfort. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I make these gifts not as the world gives—by measure—I give each of you all you will receive. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. I have overcome the world, and in me you shall all triumph through faith.

130:4.4 A one-eyed person can never hope to visualize depth of perspective. Neither can single-eyed material scientists nor single-eyed spiritual mystics and allegorists correctly visualize and adequately comprehend the true depths of universe reality. All true values of creature experience are concealed in depth of recognition.

Relation/Rumination
Once again, I wake to beauty.
Today we’re going to Boogie-Woogie.
Many things to do on tap.
We’ll fit in today, we will adapt.

Adapting to new ways of life.
Getting older causes strife.
Slowly, slowly, aging bones
Do their job, but with more groans.

Accept the fact that we won’t last.
Time is slow, we don’t fade fast.
Relentlessly, we age and slow.
It’s just the way our bodies go.

That perspective, it is not youth.
Youth develops till grown is truth.
But once grown, we go downhill.
Some are prolonged with cosmic pills.

Sooner or later, we all face
An end to how we use Your grace.
How it ends for each of us
Shows how we believe, and how we trust.

I believe we do go on.
We have a purpose in God’s song.
We can avoid, and take control
Of how we die, and become our souls.

But if we take the aging way
We find that life is but a play.
We’re on the stage with lines to speak
And then we find the lives we seek.

Thank You, Father, I’m aware
Of Your presence in me there.
There I live, and You can see.
I pray I am refined in Ye.

36:2.5 Planetary life, therefore, while similar in some respects, differs in many ways on each evolutionary world. Even in a uniform life series in a single family of worlds, life is not exactly the same on any two planets; there is always a planetary type, for the Life Carriers work constantly in an effort to improve the vital formulas committed to their keeping.

The Plan
Today we start to wend our way
Towards the best we can display.
We want the best for everyone.
Your best is what we want be done.

To do your best, you must be here.
In the now’s where we appear.
Do the next best thing you know.
Good results will always flow.

“Sincerely doing” is your best.
Sincerity gives truth it’s test.
When you’re sincere in what you do
The Loving Spirit comes to you.

Love has always got a focus.
We all serve as a focus – locus.
If we do the Will of God,
Improvement comes, this world evolves.

Every single one on earth
Plays a part, and writes a verse.
If every soul would look for good
Peace evolves, togetherhood.

The Brother/Sisterhood of Man
Must evolve before we stand.
But our direction’s well-established.
We just need a bit more practice.

Thank You, Father, someday we
Will unite in victory.
One world united with One Father
You are our gift, You are our author.

49:3.3 Millions upon millions of meteorites enter the atmosphere of Urantia daily, coming in at the rate of almost two hundred miles a second. On the nonbreathing worlds the advanced races must do much to protect themselves from meteor damage by making electrical installations which operate to consume or shunt the meteors. Great danger confronts them when they venture beyond these protected zones. These worlds are also subject to disastrous electrical storms of a nature unknown on Urantia. During such times of tremendous energy fluctuation the inhabitants must take refuge in their special structures of protective insulation.

Big Storms
Cooler weather for this summer
Has been a gift, it has been warmer.
The weather lately has been perfect.
Things may change, that is my verdict!

This string of perfect days can’t last.
Big storms will come, someday’s forecast.
When they come, we must be
Prepared, for there’s no mystery.

Strong winds of storms will have their way.
We must build well and also pray.
I predict we will invent.
New ways that are more wind resistant

Sloping curves against wind’s force.
No surfaces to bend its course.
Allow its winds to blow unhindered.
Allow its forces to be expended.

Storms are something we must weather.
Their existence truly matters.
Increasing force and frequency.
We must build resiliency.

Slowly, slowly, customs change.
Building codes, improvement brings.
We know, in fact, eventually
Big storms will come, are we ready?

Thank You, Father, for this day.
We improve as we find ways
To love each other more and more.
The way through storms is through Your door.

the book discusses the origin and meaning of life, mankind's place in the universe, the history of the planet, the relationship between God and people, and the life of Jesus.

38:1.2 These angelic orders are projected at the time of planning for the evolution of mortal will creatures. The creation of seraphim dates from the attainment of relative personality by the Universe Mother Spirit, not as the later co-ordinate of the Master Son, but as the early creative helper of the Creator Son. Previous to this event the seraphim on duty in Nebadon were temporarily loaned by a neighboring universe.

Plans
An early start, the sun shines bright.
Approach this day with all your might!
Do the next best thing you can.
Show the world and make your stand.

There’s good out there that you can do.
Find your path, walk towards the Truth.
Be a bulwark, hold the fort.
The facts will be in your report.

The facts will leave their tracks in time.
The Truth stands out, it is Divine.
God wills action, it occurs.
The plan of God is what endures.

Faith in future progress made.
As life is lived, is there a grade?
Sincerity of what’s perceived.
Live the Faith that you believe!

The Truth does ring, and have a light.
It may glow dimly, but it’s right.
What you perceive, you can’t dismiss.
The truth displays attractiveness!

Easier as you do what’s right.
The light within, it gets much more bright.
When you look you’ve gained insight.
In this life avoid all fights.

Thank You, Father, to find Your way
is the goal of every day.
The plan You have is set in motion.
I’ll follow through with my devotion!

103:1.1 The unity of religious experience among a social or racial group derives from the identical nature of the God fragment indwelling the individual. It is this divine in man that gives origin to his unselfish interest in the welfare of other men. But since personality is unique – no two mortals being alike – it inevitably follows that no two human beings can similarly interpret the leadings and urges of the spirit of divinity which lives within their minds. A group of mortals can experience spiritual unity, but they can never attain philosophic uniformity. And this diversity of the interpretation of religious thought and experience is shown by the fact that twentieth-century theologians and philosophers have formulated upward of five hundred different definitions of religion. In reality, every human being defines religion in the terms of his own experiential interpretation of the divine impulses emanating from the God spirit that indwells him, and therefore must such an interpretation be unique and wholly different from the religious philosophy of all other human beings.

Unity
Another perfect day on tap.
Another day where we can rap.
A day when we exchange ideas
And help each other through our fears.

Together we are more and more.
Alone, we lose what we’re here for.
So go and find and meet your brothers.
But don’t forget to help your mother.

We advance from stable homes.
We bring home tech from where we roam.
A rhythm beat, a Spirit flow,
Helps us all become and grow.

As we live, our minds discover.
Through toil and torments, we recover.
By going through life‘s tribulations
Our souls learn love and adulation.

Respect on every single level.
We have laws, but there’s no Devil.
Can we learn the rungs of life?
Perspectives change, become more alike.

A unity of what’s desired.
Variety in what’s acquired.
This results in progress made.
Best when all of us make the grade.

Thank You, Father, we await.
With patience, we work on our fate.
Living is an art of love.
An art that works best when we all solve.

51:5.5&6 The violet race is a monogamous people, and every evolutionary man or woman uniting with the Adamic sons and daughters pledges not to take other mates and to instruct his or her children in single-matedness. The children of each of these unions are educated and trained in the schools of the Planetary Prince and then are permitted to go forth to the race of their evolutionary parent, there to marry among the selected groups of superior mortals.
When this strain of the Material Sons is added to the evolving races of the worlds, a new and greater era of evolutionary progress is initiated. Following this procreative outpouring of imported ability and superevolutionary traits there ensues a succession of rapid strides in civilization and racial development; in one hundred thousand years more progress is made than in a million years of former struggle. On your world, even in the face of the miscarriage of the ordained plans, great progress has been made since the gift to your peoples of Adam’s life plasm.

Spirit Flow
Today the weather’s like a picture.
I wish this weather were a fixture.
If every day could be like this,
The weather patterns would be bliss.

I hope today to celebrate,
And make this day another great
Day and time to live on earth.
A day that’s truly filled with mirth.

Sundays are a time for peace.
A Spirit focus helps us see
The fact that we can all improve
In the ways we think and move.

Practice is perfection’s path.
It’s a rhythm that can last.
A rhythm that we all create
As we live towards what is fate.

We have a chance with what we do
To flow in rhythm towards what’s true.
It rings within – perhaps that’s You
Helping us discern the truth.

In any case, we tend to know
When we’re within the Spirit flow.
And yes, there’s something that’s within.
It seems to grow as flow begins.

Thank You, Father, as we live
We all find ways in which to give,
And as we practice life on earth,
I pray we all have a rebirth.
