          Cross-fertilization of intellect, ideas, truth, beauty, goodness

          Urantia Book 52:6.4
          Intellectual cross-fertilization_. Brotherhood is impossible on a world whose inhabitants are so primitive that they fail to recognize the folly of unmitigated selfishness. There must occur an exchange of national and racial literature. Each race must become familiar with the thought of all races; each nation must know the feelings of all nations. Ignorance breeds suspicion, and suspicion is incompatible with the essential attitude of sympathy and love.

            What is Service to love- UB?
            "service to love" is a fundamental concept tied to the teachings of Jesus and the universal values of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Service, when motivated by love, is portrayed as the highest form of living in harmony with divine purpose.

            1. Love as the Supreme Motivation

            The book emphasizes that true service stems from love—both divine love (the love of God for His children) and human love (the love of individuals for one another). This love is not sentimental or transactional but is deeply rooted in spiritual understanding and selfless devotion.

            2. Service as a Path to Spiritual Growth

            Service is seen as a transformative experience that enhances the soul's growth. The more one serves others out of genuine love, the closer they align with the will of God. This is evident in Jesus' teachings, where he repeatedly emphasizes that greatness in the kingdom of heaven is achieved through humble service (e.g., The Urantia Book, Paper 171:7).

            3. Love-Driven Service vs. Selfish Ambition

            The book contrasts service motivated by love with service driven by personal gain, duty, or obligation. Love-inspired service is joyful, voluntary, and uplifting, while duty-bound service, though potentially good, lacks the same spiritual power.

            4. Universal Brotherhood and Cosmic Service

            On a cosmic scale, service is not limited to human relationships but extends to all beings. Angels, midway creatures, and celestial administrators serve in accordance with divine love. Humans, as ascending beings, are also called to serve in ways that reflect their growing understanding of divine love.

            5. Jesus as the Model of Love-Based Service

            Jesus' life is the supreme example of service through love. He washed the feet of his apostles, healed the sick, taught without expecting anything in return, and ultimately sacrificed himself for humanity. His mission was not about seeking recognition but about demonstrating the power of love through selfless action.

            6. Practical Application

            To embody "service to love" in daily life, The Urantia Book suggests:

            Treating others with kindness and patience

            Helping without expecting rewards

            Seeking spiritual enlightenment to deepen one's love for others

            Serving family, community, and humanity with a heart centered on love

            Conclusion

            Service to love in The Urantia Book is the ideal form of living, where selfless actions are inspired by divine love. It is both a path to spiritual enlightenment and a reflection of God’s nature in human experience. By loving and serving others, one fulfills their highest destiny and contributes to the unfolding of God's will in the universe.

                What is Faith?

                In Urantia Book 3:5.9, we see that:
                Faith is the supreme assertion of human thought.

                "That faith is concerned only with the grasp of ideal values is shown by the New Testament definition which declares that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." - UB 99:5.8

                Faith and Belief

                Urantia Book 101:8.1
                "Belief has attained the level of faith when it motivates life and shapes the mode of living. The acceptance of a teaching as true is not faith; that is mere belief. Neither is certainty nor conviction faith. A state of mind attains to faith levels only when it actually dominates the mode of living. Faith is a living attribute of genuine personal religious experience. One believes truth, admires beauty, and reverences goodness, but does not worship them; such an attitude of saving faith is centered on God alone, who is all of these personified and infinitely more."

                      Dear friend in Christ Michael,

                      As we come to the start of another year 2025, I want to have a look at the journey we had in 2024. 2024 has been a year of learning from each other , problems and triumphs that we have experienced. 2024 has been a year of memories and lessons with joy and perseverance. You have really added something that is unique in many aspects and I am really grateful.

                      As for gratitude and renewal, I wish to share an inspiring thought from the Urantia Book, which sounds awesome as we move into the new year 2025
                      "Love is the desire to do good to others." (The Urantia Book, 56:10.21). It reminds me of the boundless strength of love and how it can turn lives. Lets carry on the spirit of togetherness filled with trust and honesty and also spreading kindness and bringing up those that surround us.

                      Keeping our heart and forgiving each other's time is timeless as we reflect on the new year ahead. My wish for you is for your lives to be filled with good health, success, happiness, love . May you find peace in both happiness and uncertainty. May your earnings be multiplied and God bless the works of your hands.

                      With each other, entering 2025. with hope and commitment to make urantia a better place to live by kindness, compassion and understanding. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, joyous and prosperous new year 2025.

                      The more closely man approaches God through love, the greater the reality actuality of than man, 117:4.14.
                      Thank you for being an important part of my life, I look forward to continuing our journey too in the new year 2025
