STUDENT: I have a question about the [[spiritual]] [[Growth|progression]] of [[Urantia]]. Being a backward planet, is there any [[genetic]] carryover if the [[parents]] are elevated during their lifetime with [[spiritual growth]]? If we took a child from [[Urantia]] and transplanted her to a more advanced planet, would that spiritual development be as strong as that of the other children on the planet? Or is there some connection or carry over from the [[parent]]'s [[attainment]]?

BERTRAND: You have an [[inherited]] [[capacity]] for spirit [[receptivity]] and [[spirit growth]]. Those [[inherent]] capacities, under [[normal]] circumstances, are incapable of being exceeded as the [[morontia mota]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:7._MORONTIA_MOTA section] of The[[ Urantia Book]] would say concerning a pint holding a quart, it is truly impossible. You [[receive]] a spirit [[endowment]] of the [[Thought Adjuster]], of the [[personality]], and of a [[mind]], but you have your [[electro]]-[[chemical]] [[process]] and the [[Body|housing]] for that are your [[limitations]]. Yes, to some [[degree]] a child would [[experience]] greater [[spiritual growth]] when they would be transferred onto a [[planet]] of greater [[spiritual]] [[attainment]], but only to the level of their [[capacity]].

STUDENT: But if we are backwards then have we down through the [[ages]] lost some [[capacity]]?
