Thought Adjuster: “Mortal life always involves difficulties because of the conditions of relative imperfection in which mortal reality must necessarily develop. This is even more true on a world like Urantia, which has been the victim of errors in supermaterial administration due to the planetary rebellion. However, many of the difficulties you experience during your mortal life are preventable and, to some extent, avoidable, because in reality most of the problems in this world have been and still are caused by yourselves.

Consider the great number of illnesses that arise from the stress under which a large part of the population lives. Long working hours, together with the real or imagined needs that many try to satisfy, are the main cause of stress for most people. But what would happen if you decided that money is not the most important thing? Suddenly, the desire to climb the ‘corporate ladder’ would not seem so important. Competition to seize resources or to produce something before someone else would cease to be a source of suffering and anguish. Once your real needs had been met, you would be satisfied with the way you have chosen to earn your living and would have time to explore other interests.

Consider wars based on ambition and distrust. What if you decided that the most important thing in this world, and what must be defended at all costs, is human life — the life of each and every one of you? Suddenly, the desire to be right and to force others to think the same way loses its power. You would no longer concern yourselves with taking resources from other nations or defending to the death what you believe you possess. Differences of opinion would remain just that — differences of opinion. You could spend your time discussing theories or dogmas and exploring alternatives, but at the end of the day everyone would go home as friends, as part of the same planetary family. Those whom you do not know would no longer seem like a potential threat, nor would they awaken your animal fears, because you would have accepted that all are equal: personalities seeking their own path toward perfection, striving to understand their origin and attain their destiny — the Universal Father.

Consider hunger, disease, and natural disasters. What if you decided that your primary mission is to sustain your planetary home while you live upon it? You would no longer exploit natural resources as though you were the last beings who would ever live here. You would think carefully about what you do and how it will affect the lives your children will live. You would cease hoarding greedily out of fear of loss and would strive to distribute natural resources more fairly, resources that truly belong to everyone. Thus, you would understand that this world already offers you everything you need to live and even more, and that no one should have to experience deprivation and lack of resources as a consequence of unequal distribution.

It is time for the human beings of this world to learn that what happens on your planet depends on your individual and collective decisions and actions. It is time for everyone to accept responsibility for their actions, for what is seen in the world today — both good and bad — is the result of the way of thinking and the aspirations of its inhabitants. The higher the aspirations — the closer the human will of each individual comes to the divine will of the Father — the better the condition of this planet will be. As universal citizens, you must master the art of cultivating your personal achievements while contributing to collective achievements — planetary, universal, and superuniversal. This world will attain the age of light and life when light and life become present in the minds and souls of all the inhabitants of this world. Therefore, whenever each one of you chooses to follow the guidance of your divine spark, your world moves one step closer toward the goal of perfection.”
