BERTRAM: I have a message regarding [[Unity|UNITY]] IN [[Diversity|DIVERSITY]], for you. We closed last time, [[expressing]] our [[hope]] and [[vision]] for [[unity]] on [[Urantia]].

Unity doesn’t mean conformity There is much unity in diversity as you can see all around you The Universal Father, in His infinite wisdom created diversity throughout all His creations.

Unity doesn’t mean [[conformity]] There is much unity in diversity as you can see all around you The [[Universal Father]], in His infinite [[wisdom]] created diversity throughout all His [[creations]].

In your studies of science and cosmology you have learned that there is great variety in all things created. No two snowflakes are alike, yet they make up a whole, which is beautiful indeed as you can see in your most recent snowfall. Each individual has unique and diverse fingerprints, no two are ever exactly alike. There are different and diverse creatures and species and yet there is still unity within each family. Ponder the insects, birds, animals, fish and mankind himself. You are all different, yet make up a complete and whole human race in your diversity. Rejoice in the truths of your differences, in the variety of each and every child of God. Appreciate and love one another in your diversity and realize you are all a part of even a greater extension of diversity in unity throughout the universes.

You are all different, yet make up a complete and whole human race in your diversity. [[Rejoice]] in the [[truths]] of your differences, in the variety of each and every child of God. [[Appreciate]] and love one another in your diversity and realize you are all a part of even a greater extension of diversity in unity throughout [[the universe]]s.

It is of utmost importance that you accept and learn to love one another, now in this life, for in accepting your present realm of diversity, you will be better able and prepared to meet and accept the diverseness of the worlds beyond. Take to heart and apply the lessons taught now for there is also divine purpose behind them. The Father wills that you be come perfect and in your ascent to Paradise, in the worlds you will visit, you will meet and experience much diversity and you will see unity in all its increasing perfection.

It is of utmost importance that you [[accept]] and learn to love one another, now in this [[life]], for in [[accepting]] your present realm of diversity, you will be better able and [[prepared]] to meet and accept the diverseness of the worlds beyond. Take to [[heart]] and apply the lessons taught now for there is also [[divine]] [[purpose]] behind them. [[The Father]] wills that you be come [[perfect]] and in your [[ascent]] to [[Paradise]], in the worlds you will visit, you will meet and experience much diversity and you will see unity in all its increasing [[perfection]].

As mankind begins to accept and love his brothers and sisters who share his beautiful world in all its beauty and diversity, and begins to live in harmony with one another, then will peace come to those of good will, who do not judge one another or try promote only their own ways, but love one another and accept the brotherhood of all. Acceptance and tolerance are worthy attributes of a child of God. Worthy fruits of the spirit that foster peace and unity in all your diversity.

As [[mankind]] begins to [[accept]] and love his brothers and sisters who [[share]] his [[beautiful]] world in all its beauty and diversity, and begins to live in [[harmony]] with one another, then will [[peace]] come to those of good will, who do not judge one another or try promote only their own ways, but love one another and [[accept]] the [[brotherhood]] of all. Acceptance and [[tolerance]] are worthy [[attributes]] of a [[child of God]]. Worthy [[fruits of the spirit]] that foster peace and unity in all your diversity.

True unity in diversity fosters enjoyment and happiness to your evolving soul! What a mundane, dull, repetitious, boring life you would live if everyone believed exactly the same, looked the same, thought the same, lived the same way.

In His infinite wisdom the Father has decreed diversity throughout all the cosmos. Even the heavens are diverse in their beauty of stars, suns, nebulae, of every colour, size and activity.

In His infinite [[wisdom]] the Father has [[decreed]] diversity throughout all [[the cosmos]]. Even the heavens are diverse in their [[beauty]] of [[stars]], [[suns]], [[nebulae]], of every colour, size and activity.

 

All is there for you to [[experience]] in your climb to [[Paradise]]! As you have read in [[your text]] even the [[central universe]] in all its perfection is diverse, each of [[14:3|the one billion worlds]] is different! You can not even [[imagine]] it, what [[the Father]] has planed for you to [[experience]]! All the more should we [[praise]] Him and be ever thankful for His [[love]] for us to have created for us such diversity to enjoy for all [[eternity]]. It is a friendly, warm and loving universe, of which we are all a part. The [[journey]] [[home]] will be an [[adventure]] worth striving for and you will ever rejoice in the great [[diversity]] you will [[experience]], in all its [[unity]] and wholeness. I leave you now to [[ponder]] this lesson, each one come to an [[appreciation]] of diversity in unity now, Bertram.
