Spiritual Sanity in an Intellectually Insane World

Spiritual Sanity in an

Intellectually "Insane World"

Living in "Turmoil Jungle"

There is much turmoil -- much insanity going on here in America and all across our planet. Perhaps the majority of us are living in "confusion jungle--turmoil jungle."

There are those masses who are presently protesting against the tyranny being imposed upon the whole of hue-man civilization by those evil-minded sons and daughters of our Paradise Father and his Creator Son.

The one-sided judgments of individual against individual and group against group seems well-nigh universal, in this present era.

"Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge." -Carl Jung

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

There are many who are ever-momentarily engaging in violence, simply ending up in the shedding of blood of many innocents, but very few of the actual perpetrators of tyranny are ever brought to justice, the whole system of government being corrupted into a criminal mafia organization. 

So many beLIEve you are a traitor if you don't join their side -- become a part of the socio-political division that is "separation from God's indwelling divine spirit-presence within the mind."

The Great Oxymoron

And herein for me lies the great oxymoron -- the "Catch-22," if you will. 

48:7.30 "The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained." 


The purpose of religion is not to satisfy curiosity about God but rather to afford intellectual constancy and philosophic security, to stabilize and enrich human living by blending the mortal with the divine, the partial with the perfect, man and God. It is through religious experience that man's concepts of ideality are endowed with reality. ~101:10.5

How far down the path of your own tyranny imposed upon our fellow children of our Father are you willing to go to fight for the God-given freedom you already have...simply by manifesting the truth, beauty and goodness reflection of the true character of the fully morontia-conscious - God-conscious soul? 

  • Will you argue for the truth in protest? 
  • Will you go to war with guns? 
  • And what will be the end-result of your arguing, protesting and shedding of blood?

What Are You Left with...in the end?

  • Will you have destroyed these systems of tyrannical control?
  • Will you have accomplished anything more than give perpetuating energy to the evil systems built by evil-minded children?

Who Dares to Individually Live "Brotherhood-Sisterhood?"

  • Is there anything less than you individually becoming the "brotherhood-sisterhood -- the fraternalhood" of hue-man civilization, which will truly "change" Urantia civilization -- make a lasting contribution to the advancement -- the forward evolutionary progress of our planet?
  • Do you dare to be like this orangutan in the photo, below? 
    • --Ready to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever needed? 
    • --Even before the other in need would dare to ask for help? 
  • Do you also not perceive that our Universe Father, through his indwelling divine spirit-presence within the mind, is ever-beckoning us to become the "shining beacon of hope" through daring to be the unselfishly serving brother and sister to all other children of God with whom we may chance to come contact?

A recent photo taken by the photographer Anil Prabhakar in the forest in Indonesia. The image shows an orangutan, currently under threat of extinction, while stretching out his hand to help a geologist who fell into a mud pool during his search. When the photographer uploaded the photo, he wrote this as a caption: “In a time when the concept of humanity dies, animals lead us to the principles of humanity.”

"To enjoy privilege without abuse, to have liberty without license, to have power and steadfastly refuse to use it for self-aggrandizement -- these are the marks of high civilization."

  • Do you think this high principle of mortal moral philosophy pertains only to the collective whole of hue-man civilization? 
  • Or is it talking about individual spiritual advancement as well as the collective whole?

It's ALL about ME vs. True Character

By becoming the "true character" of high civilization...are you not taking vital energy away from these evil-minded ones?

Always remember: The truth needs no defense. And the freest child of God on Urantia is the one who has nothing to hide.

When...and as long as...you remain in the intellectual-emotional level of beLIEf-discernment...YOUR truth will ever and always be...the ONLY truth. It's ALL about ME...not you.

And YOU will ever be "argumentatively" defending YOUR individual perception of truth.

YOU will ever be perceived as 

  • being opaque...
  • lacking transparency...
  • hiding something...
  • lacking in true character sincerity and honesty...
  • defensive and judgmental.
"In evolutionary religion, the gods are conceived to exist in the likeness of man's image; in revelatory religion, men are taught that they are God's sons." -The Urantia Book (92.:5.1)

  • Are you still living in the virtual reality of evolutionary religion?
  • Have you truly evolved into the revelatory religion of the "fraternalhood of the sons of God?"

What Does It Matter if ALL Things Earthly Crash?

  • 176:3:2 "And even you, Thomas, fail to comprehend what I have been saying. Have I not all this time taught you that your connection with the kingdom is spiritual and individual, wholly a matter of personal experience in the spirit by the faith-realization that you are a son of God? What more shall I say?
  • The downfall of nations,
  • the crash of empires, 
  • the destruction of the unbelieving Jews, 
  • the end of an age, 
  • even the end of the world,
what have these things to do with one who believes this gospel, and who has hid his life in the surety of the eternal kingdom? You who are God-knowing and gospel-believing have already received the assurances of eternal life. Since your lives have been lived in the spirit and for the Father, nothing can be of serious concern to you. Kingdom builders, the accredited citizens of the heavenly worlds, are not to be disturbed by temporal upheavals or perturbed by terrestrial cataclysms. What does it matter to you who believe this gospel of the kingdom
  • if nations overturn, 
  • the age ends, 
  • or all things visible crash,
since you know that your life is the gift of the Son, and that it is eternally secure in the Father? Having lived the temporal life by faith and having yielded the fruits of the spirit as the righteousness of loving service for your fellows, you can confidently look forward to the next step in the eternal career with the same survival faith that has carried you through your first and earthly adventure in sonship with God."

"We are not human beings having spiritual experiences. We are spiritual beings have human experiences." -Pierre Telhard de Chardin

Are we transitioning into a new world and a new age? Then, it is time we begin to act like "spiritual beings having human experiences."

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

1 - The 1st of the 28 Principles in The Urantia Book

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment 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. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity | What Do YOU Fear?

  arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity   What Do YOU Fear that Makes YOU Arrogant? Give Me Liberty If one man craves freedom — liberty — he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother. To the child mind, it w...
