16:9.5 [[Civilization]]s are unstable because they are not [[cosmic]]; they are not innate in the [[individuals]] of the races. They must be nurtured by the combined contributions of the constitutive factors of man—[[science]], [[morality]], and [[religion]]. Civilizations come and go, but science, morality, and religion always [[survive]] the crash.

16:9.6 [[Jesus]] not only revealed [[God]] to man, but he also made a new [[revelation]] of man to himself and to other men. In the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus life of Jesus] you see man at his best. Man thus becomes so [[beautifully]] real because Jesus had so much of [[God]] in his life, and the [[realization]] (recognition) of God is inalienable and constitutive in all men.

16:9.7 [[Altruism|Unselfishness]], aside from [[parental]] [[instinct]], is not altogether [[natural]]; other persons are not naturally loved or socially served. It requires the [[enlightenment]] of [[reason]], [[morality]], and the urge of [[religion]], God-knowingness, to generate an unselfish and [[altruistic]] social order. Man's own [[personality]] awareness, self-consciousness, is also directly dependent on this very fact of innate other-awareness, this [[innate]] ability to recognize and grasp the [[reality]] of other [[personality]], ranging from the [[human]] to the [[divine]].

16:9.10 You become conscious of man as your [[creature]] [[brother]] because you are already conscious of [[God]] as your [[Creator]] Father. [[Fatherhood]] is the [[relationship]] out of which we [[reason]] ourselves into the recognition of [[brotherhood]]. And Fatherhood becomes, or may become, a universe [[reality]] to all [[moral]] [[creatures]] because the Father has himself bestowed [[personality]] upon all such [[beings]] and has encircuited them within the grasp of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:9._CIRCUITS_OF_THE_SUPERUNIVERSES universal personality circuit]. We [[worship]] [[God]], first, because he is, then, because he is in us, and last, because we are in him.

16:9.11 Is it strange that the cosmic [[mind]] should be self-consciously aware of its own [[source]], the [[infinite]] mind of the [[Infinite Spirit]], and at the same time conscious of the [[physical]] [[reality]] of the [[Cosmos|far-flung universes]], the [[spiritual]] [[reality]] of the [[Eternal Son]], and the [[personality]] [[reality]] of the [[Universal Father]]?
