the 8th of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 8th of the 28 Principles in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number Two 2. Is altruism—service of one’s fellows—desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality. The Great Goal of Hue-manimal Existence It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being.
