Prolotheos: “On the [[evolving worlds]] of the [[Seven Superuniverses|universes of time and space]], there is a stage when these worlds reach physical, social and spiritual [[stability]] called ‘an Era of [[Light and Life]].’ When these worlds gain this desirable stage they are able to sustain that stability for a long, long time until their [[Local System|systems]], [[constellation]]s, [[local universe]]s, the [[Superuniverse]] (never reached yet) and finally the whole [[grand universe]] reach this stability concomitant with the complete personalization of the [[Supreme Being]], installing the Age of Supremacy in the seven universes. [[Evolution]] constantly reaches out for stability, not only about the [[macro]]-cosmos but in all dimensions, even in the dimension of human life. Here are some elements to achieve human stability.

“[[Conservation]] — Stability presupposes a level of conservation as opposed to destruction. The successes of a stage become the [[foundation]] to the following and so forth. [[Evil]] does not conserve: on the contrary, evil is destructive, because evil has nothing in itself that is permanent. Permanence is predicated on [[goodness, truth and beauty]]. As these [[values]] are progressively conserved in human [[existence]], stability establishes itself and remains for ages and ages. In your world, the main factor that prevents stability is [[wars]]’ proliferation, still carried out in many places on [[Urantia]]. Only the growth of a cosmic conscience on Urantia can bring stability, with the appearance of the Brotherhood of Man and Women based on the Fatherhood of God.

“[[Control]] — stability does not mean stagnation, it means [[security]] in midst of [[change]]. That is what is called ‘[[progress]].’ [[Technique]], the practice of controlling [[knowledge]] is the mother of [[Technology]]. Technology is advanced by the control of physical conditions in [[space and time]]. The levels of control are physical, mental and spiritual. [[Mind]] is able to control physical realities, and the spirit should [[guide]] mind by spiritual values. Real control is not about controlling others; rather, it is controlling oneself. Physical control should [[liberate]] man to achieve personal and spiritual control. When personal control is achieved in human existence, one [[experiences]] that desirable state often called ‘[[Peace]],’ which reflects itself both in social and spiritual dimensions.

“Continuation — Stability needs to be secured with measures that make its continuation possible through [[time]]. Maintenance of stability basically depends on the continuation of those [[factors]] that make stability a [[reality]]. Maintenance has mostly to do with the [[administration]] of problems. That means that problems need to be foreseen, [[expected]] and solved. Foreseeing problems is crucial to prevent them; expectation of problems is not [[negativism]] but acknowledging the law of wear and consumption of energy bringing consequent disruption. [[Problems]] need to be faced with [[creative]] and alternative thinking and solutions. Sometimes large structural [[changes]] are necessary to make sure stability will continue. Human beings must not be afraid of thinking ‘bigger and better’ at each turn of their existence.

"In this way, my [[pupil]], stability many times starts in your personal life with something you have [[experienced]]: [[conversion]], new birth or a complete [[change]] in life that will determine the remainder of your existence. [[Urantia]], your world, is in need of such a change to reach social and spiritual stability. Indeed, many times such changes come out of intense [[disruption]] of the [[status quo]], but at other times it gradually emerges from slow cosmic [[growth]]. Either way, when stability is in sight, man should grab it and keep it as essential for achieving the so-much dreamed-of ‘Peace.’ Thus, I, Prolotheos, your [[tutor]] and teacher on High, wish for you personally and for Urantia, your world, this desired [[stability]], saying: ‘Peace be with you both.’
