52:6.7 5. Spiritual insight. The brotherhood of man is, after all, predicated on the recognition of the fatherhood of God. The quickest way to realize the brotherhood of man on Urantia is to effect the spiritual transformation of present-day humanity. The only technique for accelerating the natural trend of social evolution is that of applying spiritual pressure from above, thus augmenting moral insight while enhancing the soul capacity of every mortal to understand and love every other mortal. Mutual understanding and fraternal love are transcendent civilizers and mighty factors in the world-wide realization of the brotherhood of man.

Love’s The Way

A big day planned for me, ahead.

I pray to God, I’ll use my head.

I’ll see my friend, and sing in choir.

I want to be one, who inspires.

To follow God, His wish for me,

And follow through, the way I see,

Is a challenge I accept.

I want to become more adept.

Each day I wish to find a better

Way to live a life, unfettered.

Unfettered by the animal way,

And be led by Spirit on this day.

To do the Loving thing to do,

Is always God‘s way, that is True.

Sacrificing self interest,

Might help you learn to be considerate.

God has Love for all of us.

The best for all, is what we must

Try to see, and then enact.

God is Love, and that’s a fact!

With that in mind, I greet the day.

I’ll play my hand, in loving ways.

I’ll try to be a force for Good,

And learn to be more as I should.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

This day has barely just begun.

Much to do today, to be,

And learn how to be lovingly.

Paul Anderson

140:8.17 Jesus frequently warned his listeners against covetousness, declaring that “a man’s happiness consists not in the abundance of his material possessions.” He constantly reiterated, “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” He made no direct attack on the possession of property, but he did insist that it is eternally essential that spiritual values come first. In his later teachings he sought to correct many erroneous Urantia views of life by narrating numerous parables which he presented in the course of his public ministry. Jesus never intended to formulate economic theories; he well knew that each age must evolve its own remedies for existing troubles. And if Jesus were on earth today, living his life in the flesh, he would be a great disappointment to the majority of good men and women for the simple reason that he would not take sides in present-day political, social, or economic disputes. He would remain grandly aloof while teaching you how to perfect your inner spiritual life so as to render you manyfold more competent to attack the solution of your purely human problems.

Everyday

Mornings are the best for me,

And this Spring day will truly be,

The best that I can really see.

God is my reality!

God‘s the source of time and such.

He lets us choose how we eat lunch.

If we choose the Good in life,

We learn how best to live through strife.

Progress through the times we live.

We learn to be kind, and to give.

The lessons that we learn in living,

Help us be much more forgiving.

God has a plan for each of us.

We learn more quickly, as we Trust.

We learn that God is truly Love.

We see his Love, as we evolve.

To be awakened in God‘s world,

At first unsure, we may feel swirled.

But if we trust in Love, we find,

A direction termed Divine.

Divine direction helps progress.

If we ignore things, we regress.

Eventually, Life teaches us,

To Trust God’s Love, is just a must!

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Something new on Earth’s begun.

Increased awareness of Your Love.

People on this Earth evolve.

Paul Anderson

99:2.5 The institutionalized church may have appeared to serve society in the past by glorifying the established political and economic orders, but it must speedily cease such action if it is to survive. Its only proper attitude consists in the teaching of nonviolence, the doctrine of peaceful evolution in the place of violent revolution – peace on earth and good will among all men.

Good Worlds

Up today, as it got light.

Early things to do that might

Make this day most out of sight.

This day has aspects that are bright.

Expect the best from every day.

Life‘s adventures become play.

Show your love for God displayed.

Love our God, in every way.

Holidays can come and go.

That’s the rhythm of time’s flow.

Look for Goodness on your route,

And look for ways to spread it out.

Be aware of what you do.

Kindness helps your Good be True.

Being kind’s, a skill that’s learned,

Becomes a habit that is earned.

Habits either help or hinder.

Good ones help you spread your thunder.

Wisdom helps you choose your actions.

Good habits form, make Good reactions.

That’s the road towards getting better.

You’re becoming a goal setter.

Wisdom helps you set your goals.

Goodness help you see your role.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Within this world, Good has begun.

It is building, and will be,

The way this world finds destiny.

Paul Anderson

6:3.5 God is love, the Son is mercy. Mercy is applied love, the Father’s love in action in the person of his Eternal Son. The love of this universal Son is likewise universal. As love is comprehended on a sex planet, the love of God is more comparable to the love of a father, while the love of the Eternal Son is more like the affection of a mother. Crude, indeed, are such illustrations, but I employ them in the hope of conveying to the human mind the thought that there is a difference, not in divine content but in quality and technique of expression, between the love of the Father and the love of the Son.

Mothers

An early start to Mother’s Day.

I hope all mothers get to play.

We commemorate in ways,

And all our mothers, we do praise.

Everybody’s had a mother,

Every sister, every brother.

Our first response to living life.

We try to do what we deem right.

Mothers help us all to see,

How things work, to get our needs.

Habits formed in infancy,

Can last for years, incredibly.

As we grow, we do reflect

The love we got, by self-respect.

As we respect ourselves, we do

Give respect to others, too.

We learned this through the years we grew.

Mothers helped in what we do.

Self respect is something earned.

Best decisions, as we learn.

Mother’s Love seems mercy driven.

Mistakes we made, she has forgiven.

This gives us time to learn life’s lessons.

She will hear our worst confessions.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Especially for the Mother/Son.

Mercy’s needed in this life.

Perfection’s something learned through strife.

Paul Anderson

151:3.15 Before he dismissed the group for the night, Jesus said: “Now will I tell you the last of the parable of the sower. I would test you to know how you will receive this: The kingdom of heaven is also like a man who cast good seed upon the earth; and while he slept by night and went about his business by day, the seed sprang up and grew, and although he knew not how it came about, the plant came to fruit. First there was the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And then when the grain was ripe, he put forth the sickle, and the harvest was finished. He who has an ear to hear, let him hear.”

Planting

I caught up with sleep last night.

I got up after it was light.

I feel much better than yesterday.

Lots to do on this fine day.

Looking forward to today.

Working with the soil is play.

The sun cooperates with its rays.

The soil gets moisture when skies are gray.

Spring is such a wonderful time.

Growing is by God‘s design.

Planting seeds is center stage.

We watch them grow through every phase.

Spring’s a time for starting things.

Beauty is what our God brings.

I know that if we do the work,

God rewards the time we took.

God has a plan for all of us.

Advancing in the world’s a must.

He loves us all, but makes us choose

How we live and how we cruise.

Choosing Love as our direction

Is never wrong, but imperfection

May impede until we learn.

Lessons learned are what we earn.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Spring’s a time for growing fun.

Growing plants all start from seed.

We all grow from our Good deeds.

Paul Anderson

48:7.26 24. The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow.

Advancing

Early morning things to do,

But free this afternoon, is true.

I cannot linger on this path,

There’re more mistakes, when one goes fast.

Patience with a thought out path,

Doesn’t work when one goes fast.

One must think before one acts.

Awareness made in what you lack.

Any risks are minimized,

When you truly do apprise,

All the factors on your road,

And then adjust for the best mode.

Trust the Lord, He’ll give to you,

What is needed to see you through.

To Him, it is a path well known.

So be aware of what is shown.

Learning is the way of God.

Advancing is what He does cause.

Always testing with His challenge.

Advancing you to your advantage.

Remember, that He always loves.

That’s the way you’re going to solve,

All the mysteries in your life.

He’ll help you learn through any strife.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The way ahead has just begun.

You help me be a loving son.

The way ahead, things must be done.

Paul Anderson

25:4.17Technical Advisers are dedicated to the work of preventing delay, facilitating progress, and counseling achievement. There is always a best and right way to do things; there is alwaysthe technique of perfection, a divine method, and these advisers know how to direct us all in the finding of this better way.

Always Better

A lighter sleep last night, I note.

But I was rested when I woke.

Always much to do each day.

Choir’s on my list today.

I hope to visit with my friend,

But that may wait till this weekend.

In any case, there will be time

To talk with him, by God’s design.

I will look for Good to do.

I’ll try to make a wish come true.

A day designed to be the best.

I give my thanks, I do feel blessed.

We all receive all that we can.

God gives to all, then does command

The best from each and everyone.

He loves each living, daughter/son.

Always look, to see if you,

Can do better, in what you do.

Be a learner in the Kingdom.

Get in step, and find God’s rhythm.

There is a rhythm on this earth.

The song within is filled with mirth.

God’s plan has been there since your birth.

God wants us all to find Him first.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

Learning is something never done.

Always finding better ways

To improve life, throughout the day.

Paul Anderson

101:6.8 Revelation teaches mortal man that, to start such a magnificent and intriguing adventure through space by means of the progression of time, he should begin by the organization of knowledge into idea-decisions; next, mandate wisdom to labor unremittingly at its noble task of transforming self-possessed ideas into increasingly practical but nonetheless supernal ideals, even those concepts which are so reasonable as ideas and so logical as ideals that the Adjuster dares so to combine and spiritize them as to render them available for such association in the finite mind as will constitute them the actual human complement thus made ready for the action of the Truth Spirit of the Sons, the time-space manifestations of Paradise truth – universal truth. The co-ordination of idea-decisions, logical ideals, and divine truth constitutes the possession of a righteous character, the prerequisite for mortal admission to the ever-expanding and increasingly spiritual realities of the morontia worlds.

Coordinate

Early morning jobs to do.

Record’s interface must be True.

Coordinate all agencies

To help with what can be conceived.

Consistency must be achieved

Between all branches of life’s tree.

That way our lives consistently

Are directed positively.

Mistakes on records can impede

The way ahead, what folks believe.

Some can be fixed on the phone,

But some require trips to roam.

We will roam around today.

There are appointments on the way.

Integrate the ways to go.

Try to be within God’s flow.

Patiently, the way ahead

Will be thought out, I’ll use my head.

Time to change—coordinate

Always helps accommodate.

Confidence will mark my path.

No need to rush, I won’t go fast.

However, I will be resolute

And find solutions on my route.

Thank You Mother/Father/Son.

Everyday there’re always some

Things to learn, and then to do.

I’m on the road to find the Truth.

Paul Anderson

109:0.1 THE Thought Adjusters are the children of the universe career, and indeed the virgin Adjusters must gain experience while mortal creatures grow and develop. As the personality of the human child expands for the struggles of evolutionary existence, so does the Adjuster wax great in the rehearsals of the next stage of ascending life. As the child acquires adaptative versatility for his adult activities through the social and play life of early childhood, so does the indwelling Adjuster achieve skill for the next stage of cosmic life by virtue of the preliminary mortal planning and rehearsing of those activities which have to do with the morontia career. Human existence constitutes a period of practice which is effectively utilized by the Adjuster in preparing for the increased responsibilities and the greater opportunities of a future life. But the Adjuster’s efforts, while living within you, are not so much concerned with the affairs of temporal life and planetary existence. Today, the Thought Adjusters are, as it were, rehearsing the realities of the universe career in the evolving minds of human beings.

Planning

The day begins, I did sleep well.

Much to do this day, pray tell.

Destinations, folks to see,

A meeting will become and be.

This will be a busy week.

Appointments every day, do peak,

Interspersed with normal days.

A rhythm that I will display.

Scheduling the days took planning.

My mind was used in their designing.

I know my days, and what’s required.

To integrate what’s new’s desired.

Looking forward to this day.

I’ll learn some things along the way.

The sun is out, the skies aren’t gray.

Working can turn into play.

I anticipate the best

For this day, and nothing less.

With loving kindness, I’ll start out.

Kindness shines upon my route.

I can look for things to do

And make some plans for what comes true.

The Spirit always gives some clues

And then I need but follow through.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

It’s mid morning, yet day’s still young.

On this world, You have begun

To manifest Love’s plans, far-flung.

Paul Anderson

102:2.3 It is difficult to identify and analyze the factors of a religious experience, but it is not difficult to observe that such religious practitioners live and carry on as if already in the presence of the Eternal. Believers react to this temporal life as if immortality already were within their grasp. In the lives of such mortals there is a valid originality and a spontaneity of expression that forever segregate them from those of their fellows who have imbibed only the wisdom of the world. Religionists seem to live in effective emancipation from harrying haste and the painful stress of the vicissitudes inherent in the temporal currents of time; they exhibit a stabilization of personality and a tranquillity of character not explained by the laws of physiology, psychology, and sociology.

No Need To Leap

An early, early start today.

A busy morning lights my way.

So, with an early start I can,

Fulfill all of my life’s demands.

Goals/demands in life occur.

We try to live, not just endure.

To accomplish things while living,

Gives our lives a truer meaning.

Finding meaning in your life,

Helps to conquer, not just strive.

Meaning gives your life rewards.

We have something we work towards.

Finding what God wills for you,

Gives perspective, called what’s True.

Finding Truth, helps you perceive

More of what you can believe.

By little steps, we do advance.

We’re learning how to do life’s dance.

More and more, we come to show,

The Love of God in how we flow.

An equanimity of mind

With God’s Spirit’s what we find.

A way of living that defines

The Love that is of God’s design.

Thank You, Mother/Father/Son.

The day has truly now begun.

We have appointments, yet to keep,

But time we have, no need to leap!

Paul Anderson
