It was said by our [[Creator Son]] at one time on your world that in [[the Father]]’s house there are many mansions. This line creates a [[perspective]] that at first appears reversed or inverted. To many of you a [[mansion]] is quite large while a house is considerably smaller. Most of you [[function]] quite comfortably with a few rooms. Your house is equipped with basic needs and [[functions]], and you dwell therein quite well. Is it not the view that a mansion exceeds what is provided by a house? At what point, if you were to add rooms, facilities, and increase the functions of your house does it warrant being called a [[mansion]]? Is it the entryway? Is it the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banister banisters] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balcony balconies]? Leaded windows? View towers? Resplendent grounds? To some ten quarters within a house is a mansion. To others it is not a mansion until it sprawls over acres. I bring this up to [[illustrate]] that these mansions are places of the [[realization]] of fulfillment.

Each of you strives to [[attain]] higher levels of [[spirit]] being. Each of you is making [[progress]] at your own [[pace]], adopting [[character]] traits, living [[habits]], that you consider contributory to your spiritual well- being. And you are all making good effort at deepening your [[contact]] with the [[divine]] through [[prayer]], through energy incircuitment, through [[service]], and through response to what life and the [[Ta|Father’s Indwelling Presence]] steers your way. Are these not the balconies, the leaded windows, grand entryway, or marble [[pillars]] of a mansion?

Malvantra: You are welcome.

Malvantra: You are welcome.

Evelyn: Today many of us see a massive [[war]] being a likely cause of unleashing some agent that perhaps could cause the world to be uninhabitable. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_mass_destruction Poison gas or some biological agent]. I’m hearing you say that a lot of people would die first and then the remaining would be shuffled off to another world. It wouldn’t be like seeing the cloud coming and quick whisk us out from under it.

Malvantra: No, because of the supremacy of [[free will]] we would be unable to intervene. That is why that term “salvageable” sticks out so boldly as you consider this [[51:2|quotation from the Urantia text]]. It isn’t said“ preservable ” which would imply combing through the population and grabbing the valuable elements first. Salvageable implies going through afterwards in order to make the best of what remains.
