134:6.2 [[Religion]] makes it [[spiritually]] possible to [[realize]] the [[brotherhood]] of men, but it will require [[mankind]] [[government]] to regulate the [[social]], [[economic]], and [[political]] [[problems]] [[associated]] with such a goal of human [[happiness]] and [[efficiency]].

134:6.3 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_24 There shall be wars and rumors of wars]—[[nation]] will rise against nation—just as long as the world's [[political]] [[sovereignty]] is divided up and unjustly held by a [[group]] of [[nation]]-states. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland Scotland], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales Wales] were always fighting each other until they gave up their respective sovereignties, reposing them in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom United Kingdom].

134:6.4 Another [[World War II|world war]] will teach the so-called [[sovereign]] nations to [[form]] some sort of [[federation]], thus creating the [[machinery]] for preventing small [[wars]], wars between the lesser nations. But global wars will go on until the [[government]] of [[mankind]] is created. Global [[sovereignty]] will prevent global wars—nothing else can.

134:6.5 The forty-eight [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United States|American free states] live [[together]] in [[peace]]. There are among the [[citizens]] of these forty-eight states all of the various [[nation]]alities and [[races]] that live in the ever-warring [[nations]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe]. These [[America]]ns [[represent]] almost all the [[religions]] and religious [[sects]] and [[cults]] of the whole wide world, and yet here in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America] they live together in [[peace]]. And all this is made [[possible]] because these forty-eight states have [[surrendered]] their [[sovereignty]] and have abandoned all notions of the supposed rights of [[self-determination]].

134:6.6 It is not a question of armaments or disarmament. Neither does the question of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription conscription] or voluntary [[military]] [[service]] enter into these [[problems]] of maintaining world-wide [[peace]]. If you take every form of [[modern]] [[mechanical]] armaments and all types of explosives away from strong nations, they will fight with fists, stones, and clubs as long as they cling to their [[delusions]] of the [[divine]] right of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_sovereignty national sovereignty].

134:6.8 [[Urantia]] [[nations]] have not [[possessed]] real [[sovereignty]]; they never have had a sovereignty which could protect them from the ravages and devastations of [[World War II|world wars]]. In the creation of the global [[government]] of [[mankind]], the nations are not giving up [[sovereignty]] so much as they are actually creating a real, bona fide, and lasting world [[sovereignty]] which will henceforth be fully able to protect them from all [[war]]. Local affairs will be handled by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government local governments]; national affairs, by national governments; international affairs will be administered by [[global government]].

134:6.9 World [[peace]] cannot be maintained by treaties, [[diplomacy]], foreign policies, alliances, [[balances]] of [[power]], or any other type of makeshift [[juggling]] with the sovereignties of [[nationalism]]. World [[law]] must come into being and must be enforced by [[world government]]—the [[sovereignty]] of all [[mankind]].

134:6.14 After the [[death]] of [[Cymboyton]], his sons encountered great [[difficulties]] in maintaining a peaceful [[faculty]]. The [[repercussions]] of [[Jesus]]' teachings would have been much greater if the later [[Christian]] [[teachers]] who joined the Urmia [[faculty]] had exhibited more [[wisdom]] and exercised more [[tolerance]].

134:6.15 [[Cymboyton]]'s eldest son had appealed to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_144#144:6._CONFERENCE_WITH_JOHN.27S_APOSTLES Abner] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ala%C5%9Fehir Philadelphia] for help, but Abner's [[choice]] of [[teachers]] was most unfortunate in that they turned out to be unyielding and uncompromising. These [[teachers]] sought to make their religion [[dominant]] over the other [[beliefs]]. They never suspected that the oft-referred-to [[lectures]] of the [[caravan]] conductor had been delivered by [[Jesus]] himself.

134:6.16 As [[confusion]] increased in the [[faculty]], the three brothers withdrew their [[financial]] [[support]], and after five years the [[school]] closed. Later it was reopened as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIthraism Mithraic] [[temple]] and [[eventually]] burned down in connection with one of their [[orgiastic]] [[celebrations]].
