[There is a long [[dialogue]] about a [[woman]] who objects to [[self]]-[[defense]].]

 

Rayson: This [[individual]] seems like a person who has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorize memorized] [[truths]] who has not lived - or does not truly [[understand]] them enough to experientially live them out. The [[individual]] is not in [[harmony]] with [[reality]]. Her concepts are verging on [[fantasy]]. She believes what she has been told without [[question]], and questioning is very [[vital]] to seeking the truth. You must [[question]] everything. You must question [[authority]]. You must question myself. You must question each other. You cannot take things for granted as being the [[truth]]. Of course you should not question merely for the sake of questioning. You should definitely [[desire]] to know the [[truth]]. Question The [[Urantia Book]]. Question these [[teaching mission]]s. Question your [[study]] group [[leader]], or ones who have an [[intellectual]] understanding of the [[concepts]] in The [[Urantia Book]], which surpasses your own. Do not think that just because they are more [[intellectual]] than you are that whatever they say is the [[truth]]. This is not so. Reason it out on your own. Try to live what you have gained by your own working-outs of these questions. When you [[discuss]] matters of [[universal]] [[reality]] with people who do not question, who take things for granted, you would not be able to convince them of much because they have unquestionably taken some [[beliefs]] as the [[truth]]. They will [[doubt]] everything that goes against that which they have [[decided]] to believe as the [[truth]]. And this is a [[danger]], for you may also do the same for the teachings of The [[Urantia Book]]. [[Realize]] that [[truth]] is often [[relative]] of where you are in your [[Ascension Career|progression career]]. What may be true for you now may not be true when you have gone on to the [[morontia worlds]].
