Are You Suffering from a Species of Internal Civil War…?
Are You Suffering from a Species of Internal Civil War…?
(Written July 19th, 2014)
(1220.8) 111:4.9 Since this inner life of man is truly creative, there rests upon each person the responsibility of choosing as to whether this creativity shall be spontaneous and wholly haphazard or controlled, directed, and constructive. How can a creative imagination produce worthy children when the stage whereon it functions is already preoccupied by prejudice, hate, fears, resentments, revenge, and bigotries?
(1220.10) 111:4.11 This is the problem: If freewill man is endowed with the powers of creativity in the inner man, then must we recognize that freewill creativity embraces the potential of freewill destructivity. And when creativity is turned to destructivity, you are face to face with the devastation of evil and sin — oppression, war, and destruction. Evil is a partiality of creativity which tends toward disintegration and eventual destruction. All conflict is evil in that it inhibits the creative function of the inner life — it is a species of civil war in the personality.
–The Urantia Book – Paper 111 – The Adjuster and the Soul
I did not choose to be separated from you… But you chose, and are still choosing, to separate yourself from me…
My choice is ever to tear down the walls of division between us… This is an action, however, I do alone…
Watching you from a distance…you are ever building the wall around your citadel and fortifying it with the mortar of prejudice, hate, fears, resentments, revenge and bigotries…
The gate to my citadel is ever open… The gate to yours is ever closed…
Within your citadel there burn the fires of anger and the smoke of arrogant self-deceit and petty revenge… There is an ongoing civil war taking place there and the cost is great…
Healing is ever within your reach…if only you were to choose to grasp ahold of it… You continually refuse my Love which is ever extended with an unconditional open hand…
You set yourself up as the king of your kingdom… Your actions are not those of a king; you have no kingdom, as long as the various parties in your system are warring against each other… There is only ongoing self-destruction…and eventual…extinction…
You kill your children… And you show no signs of remorse… Your citadel is piled high with dead men’s bones, which you grind up under the millstone of ritual self and other enslavement… You are shriveled up, inside, hollow, and all signs of life have disappeared from your eyes…
(614.3) 54:1.8 There is no error greater than that species of self-deception which leads intelligent beings to crave the exercise of power over other beings for the purpose of depriving these persons of their natural liberties. The golden rule of human fairness cries out against all such fraud, unfairness, selfishness, and unrighteousness. Only true and genuine liberty is compatible with the reign of love and the ministry of mercy.
(614.4) 54:1.9 How dare the self-willed creature encroach upon the rights of his fellows in the name of personal liberty when the Supreme Rulers of the universe stand back in merciful respect for these prerogatives of will and potentials of personality! No being, in the exercise of his supposed personal liberty, has a right to deprive any other being of those privileges of existence conferred by the Creators and duly respected by all their loyal associates, subordinates, and subjects.
–The Urantia Book – Paper 54 – Problems of the Lucifer Rebellion
And yet…the eternal wellspring of life is ever within your reach…but the wall of the damning fear you build around it is preventing its flow into your mind…
Species of Internal Civil War 11
I reach out in spirit to embrace you… I cannot find you… Where there is normally personality and mind…there is only darkness…
How will I ever reach you? I may not… And you may be lost forever…a flickering light…extinguished for all of eternity…
In your laziness of animal mind…you refuse to change your language… And without changing your language you will never change your attitudes and subsequent destructive behaviors…
There is no love where no love is received; there is no love returned where no love exists…
Minds may admire and even offer words of hope and praise…but only pure hearts, in the divine likeness of God…may experience the wondrous joy of Love freely given and freely received…
I freely give you my Love… Freely receive it… Enter through the Gate of the Heavenly Citadel, wherein dwells and grows the Tree of Life… Drink from my living waters… And I will number you
among my sons in my Universe family of immortal children…
only pure hearts, in the divine likeness of God…may experience the wondrous joy of Love freely given and freely received…
