115:1.2 Conceptual frames of the universe are only relatively true; they are serviceable scaffolding which must eventually give way before the expansions of enlarging cosmic comprehension. The understandings of truth, beauty, and goodness, morality, ethics, duty, love, divinity, origin, existence, purpose, destiny, time, space, even Deity, are only relatively true. God is much, much more than a Father, but the Father is man’s highest concept of God; nonetheless, the Father-Son portrayal of Creator-creature relationship will be augmented by those supermortal conceptions of Deity which will be attained in Orvonton, in Havona, and on Paradise. Man must think in a mortal universe frame, but that does not mean that he cannot envision other and higher frames within which thought can take place.

God’s Way

Today it’s cold out, take your coat.

Don’t wear your shorts, they’ll sink your boat.

Cold enough with proper wear.

Just make sure you are aware!

Lots to do, there always is.

A warmer coat, my plans won’t fizz.

Chores to do inside and out.

A way towards God, there is no doubt.

Doing as love tells me too.

When I look, there’s lots to do!

In the Spirit of love within

The Spirit gives, the Spirit grins.

Inside connection to achieve

God is more than I believe!

And more than all the things I see.

On that I think we all agree!

To each of us God gives His all.

As we bloom, we hear His call.

Lessons in life must be learned.

The path of God’s a path well earned.

The perfect path we cannot do

Even though we may want to.

Our desire we can perfect.

But what we do is not as yet.

Thank You, Father, for the day.

I pray for Good along the way.

I will do as do I must.

And to Your way, I’m going to trust.

134:6.9 World peace cannot be maintained by treaties, diplomacy, foreign policies, alliances, balances of power, or any other type of makeshift juggling with the sovereignties of nationalism. World law must come into being and must be enforced by world government – the sovereignty of all mankind.

Inner World Peace

A good day in the news for once.

Progress when there’s Love for lunch.

Love exerts itself today.

A few are shown to freedom’s way.

Still the war like state exists.

Extermination views persist.

Those who are of this intent,

Must pray for peace, they must repent!

We’re a long, long ways to peace.

Wars exist and they increase.

Love’s the way out of this mess.

A wave of Love will make wars less.

How to start a wave of Love?

Are we the ones who push and shove?

That is not what we intend—

To show Love wins as viewpoints blend.

We all want peace and want to vote.

We want to work, our lives devote

To helping others on their road.

Happiness comes when you have grown.

A growing world, one with a soul.

To help that happen is my goal.

One God unites a world with Love.

Less jealousy as we evolve.

Thank You, Father, to do what’s right

Is in fact a moral fight.

To do as best I know to do

And march ahead with follow through.

66:7.15&16 Hap presented the early races with a moral law. This code was known as “The Father’s Way” and consisted of the following seven commands:

1. You shall not fear nor serve any God but the Father of all.

2. You shall not disobey the Father’s Son, the world’s ruler, nor show disrespect to his superhuman associates.

3. You shall not speak a lie when called before the judges of the people.

4. You shall not kill men, women, or children.

5. You shall not steal your neighbor’s goods or cattle.

6. You shall not touch your friend’s wife.

7. You shall not show disrespect to your parents or to the elders of the tribe.

This was the law of Dalamatia for almost three hundred thousand years. And many of the stones on which this law was inscribed now lie beneath the waters off the shores of Mesopotamia and Persia. It became the custom to hold one of these commands in mind for each day of the week, using it for salutations and mealtime thanksgiving.

ThankYou

Good morning, Father, a day of thanks.

We’re going to fill our energy banks.

A day to feast with gathered guests.

I pray love fills all of our nests.

With love on board to pass around

A festive day with love resounds.

Families gather, share their goods.

The table set for brotherhood.

A time that’s special to this land.

We started something truly grand.

The pilgrims showed how they survived

Cooperating with the Indian tribes.

They learn from those who were indigenous.

Everybody has some genius.

They shared a meal of celebration.

Traditions formed in this great nation.

The Holiday season now takes off.

With black Friday we get lost.

The season’s made for all our Faiths.

With different days we celebrate.

A truly special time of year.

We all get filled with Holiday cheer.

Time to hold all loved ones near.

And thank the Lord that we are here.

Thank You, Father, for this day.

And as we gather, we all pray

For Your Peace within our hearts.

Love for all is what must start!

49:4.5

Seasons and temperature variations occur on all sunlighted and sun-heated planets. Agriculture is universal on all atmospheric worlds; tilling the soil is the one pursuit that is common to the advancing races of all such planets.

Shorter Ways

The shorter days of winter come.

We have less time to get things done.

The winter solstice’s, a month away.

The shorter days affect our play.

Until the solstice, days get shorter.

Sunspots might affect your router.

The sun just shines, we stay in orbit.

The way we tilt has been recorded.

The way we tilt accounts for seasons.

Weather patterns have their reasons.

We tilt away in winter time

And towards the sun in summertime.

“Easy Peezy” it may seem.

For years and years, we were off beam.

The world was flat, that’s what we thought.

For many years our way was lost.

Our understanding is time based.

We live and die with the years we’re graced.

Our time on earth is truly short.

Blips of experience we can report.

A time perspective we do lack.

But we can change, we do react.

But even when we do enact,

We cannot see long-term impacts!

Someday we’ll have longer lives.

But as that happens, we must thrive.

Record-keeping helps us see

The course of time’s reality.

Thank You, Father, for this time.

To look inside’s an act Divine

As we live, we learn more truth.

The inner way is our pursuit!

83:1.5 Primitive marriage was primarily industrial; and even in modern times it is often a social or business affair. Through the influence of the mixture of the Andite stock and as a result of the mores of advancing civilization, marriage is slowly becoming mutual, romantic, parental, poetical, affectionate, ethical, and even idealistic. Selection and so-called romantic love, however, were at a minimum in primitive mating. During early times husband and wife were not much together; they did not even eat together very often. But among the ancients, personal affection was not strongly linked to sex attraction; they became fond of one another largely because of living and working together.

Advancing Love

Cold and rainy all day long.

No snow as yet, cold’s not that strong.

But every day we do get closer.

Winter days won’t lack composure.

The cold may make us all seem stiff.

Hard to move through life‘s snow drifts.

But when we use our minds and shovel

Our days go on, because were humble.

A humble approach to find our God,

Will yield success when that way’s trod.

God reveals himself to you

When you humbly search for truth.

When your ego plays a role

Ego dignity takes its toll.

An ego chief who is in charge

Cannot see as he gets too large.

He cannot see as he grows tall

Too much involved or he may fall.

He must worry about himself.

A humble man plays cards he’s dealt.

So with my humble hat in hand

I pray to God, I don’t demand.

God knows best, I understand.

I will learn, His Will is grand!

Thank You, Father, what I see

Is advancing Love through history.

Our direction overall

Is what’s best, I hear Your call.

The whole scheme of living existences on the worlds of space is centered in the divine purpose of elevating all will creatures to the high destiny of the experience of sharing the Father’s Paradise perfection. God is neither self-centered nor self-contained; he never ceases to bestow himself upon all self-conscious creatures of the vast universe of universes.

122:6.3 In later years, as the family grew in size, they would all squat about the enlarged stone table to enjoy their meals, helping themselves from a common dish, or pot, of food. During the winter, at the evening meal the table would be lighted by a small, flat clay lamp, which was filled with olive oil. After the birth of Martha, Joseph built an addition to this house, a large room, which was used as a carpenter shop during the day and as a sleeping room at night.

Winter Comes

In the 40s for today

You’ll need a jacket on your way.

A cooler day than what we’ve had.

Winter’s coming don’t be sad.

It’s a cycle we go through.

Every year our world turns blue.

Blue with cold and snow that blows.

The winter comes before it goes.

Our experience helps God live.

He lives through us, that’s how we give.

Do your best that’s what God wants.

He loves to see your eloquence.

Live a life for God while you

Do the best that you can do.

Be sincere and keep your faith.

God will show you how with grace.

Grace can help you to achieve

Success in life before you leave.

A graceful life helps love advance

Love’s the answer, learn its dance.

So learn to love the winter weather.

Without the winter springs don’t matter.

To love the worst along with the best

Advances love, helps love’s conquest.

Thank You, Father, to love is best.

And with Your Love, this earth is blessed!

Time it takes, but we’ll achieve

A blessed sphere, as we believe!

65:7.6 The acquisition of the potential of the ability to learn from experience marks the beginning of the functioning of the adjutant spirits, and they function from the lowliest minds of primitive and invisible existences up to the highest types in the evolutionary scale of human beings. They are the source and pattern for the otherwise more or less mysterious behavior and incompletely understood quick reactions of mind to the material environment. Long must these faithful and always dependable influences carry forward their preliminary ministry before the animal mind attains the human levels of spirit receptivity.

Learning The Spirit

A sunny day but in the 50s.

The weather is really pretty nifty.

The cooler temps do stimulate.

There’re things to do we contemplate.

Planning helps with things we do.

An action plan helps us pull through.

Planning helps the coming day.

It truly helps to plan your play.

Practice also helps us be.

It helps us see reality.

To practice what you want to do,

Helps perfect what is your truth.

Decide how you can help your God.

Cooperate and you’ll evolve.

God within will show the way.

Keep the faith when things seem gray.

Never lose your faith in God.

He’s with you on the paths you trod.

God will help when all seems lost.

Discover how their hearts defrost.

As we evolve, we will become

More like the God, we learn to strum

And play His music as we live.

The loving notes are His to give.

Thank You, Father, for Your notes.

I’ll spend some time, yes I’ll devote

Time and energy to Your cause.

I wish to learn Your Spirit laws.

110:2.1 When Thought Adjusters indwell human minds, they bring with them the model careers, the ideal lives, as determined and foreordained by themselves and the Personalized Adjusters of Divinington, which have been certified by the Personalized Adjuster of Urantia. Thus they begin work with a definite and predetermined plan for the intellectual and spiritual development of their human subjects, but it is not incumbent upon any human being to accept this plan. You are all subjects of predestination, but it is not foreordained that you must accept this divine predestination; you are at full liberty to reject any part or all of the Thought Adjusters’ program. It is their mission to effect such mind changes and to make such spiritual adjustments as you may willingly and intelligently authorize, to the end that they may gain more influence over the personality directionization; but under no circumstances do these divine Monitors ever take advantage of you or in any way arbitrarily influence you in your choices and decisions. The Adjusters respect your sovereignty of personality; they are always subservient to your will.

Direction

A sunny day is what’s predicted.

When the sun is out our temps are lifted.

The sun can lift our joys to heaven.

It seems to brighten our impressions.

A sunny day will lift our Spirits.

The sounds of life around us, hear it!

Our motivation to get things done

Increases, we perceive it's fun.

Your best is done, Love what you do.

You’ll find the Love comes back to you.

When always trying for your best

You win or lose but pass the test.

Learning from what doesn’t work

Gives wisdom even to a jerk.

Given time all jerks improve.

You’re not a jerk when in Love’s groove.

Love requires a new compassion.

Sincerity requires your passion.

An energy to find a way

To help this world, find Love that stays.

Spread some love out in your world.

The flag of God should be unfurled.

One God, one world

Too many nations we behold.

Thank You, Father, for your Love.

In Love’s direction we evolve.

As we do, we will achieve

Peace on earth, I do believe!
