It is this that leads to the [[passive]] and [[active]] rejection of [[truth, beauty, and goodness]], all of which become part of the generalized threat of animal [[perception]] of anything out of the ordinary. When the ordinary has been loveless [[dysfunction]], and love is encountered, it is unsurprising that the emotional pitch quickly transfers into the realm of high animal [[emotion]] - fear. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system limbic system] is not integrated successfully into the higher mind-effectiveness systems when the matrix of personality [[expression]] is built upon [[fear]]. Love can still provide the route by which rewiring can proceed, but the personality expression matrix is formed at an early age and nothing can entirely overcome the [[limitations]] that result from your developing through the usual [[family]] life on [[Urantia]].

This is not meant to [[discourage]] you, but to [[explain]] in part why [[dysfunctional]] behavior is so [[persistent]] and so slowly ameliorated in the [[individual]], and so rampant and difficult to dislodge on a [[planetary]] basis. [[Culture]] carries in large part the actual [[content]] that will be used within the structure of the [[personality]] matrix. When the emotional experience of early [[childhood]] comes into [[conflict]] with the dominant [[family]] culture, the child must [[adapt]]. Since family members tend to [[share]] a common culture, the child will receive few [[tools]] that range outside that common cultural dead weight. It is [[ideal]] for a child to have a modest degree of differing culture in its [[parents]]’ [[heritages]].

You can see that these [[processes]] and structures are meant for normal [[development]] on a [[normal]] planet, and they are powerful reinforcers of [[perceived]] and lived [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] when love activates the child’s waiting personality and forms the matrix of future personality [[expression]]. Then, a well-balanced cultural [[heritage]] provides the content with which that matrix can engage, which that matrix can use to build the evaluative processes which impel the emerging [[morontia soul]] forward. When the [[Adjuster]] arrives to a normal child, normal being something that is all but unseen on [[Urantia]], the personality matrix is already developed for connection and increasing [[integration]] of the adjuster’s influence. All worlds must evolve through these problems. Early stages of evolutionary worlds tend to be barbaric in somewhat similar ways to certain aspects of your own [[stage]] of development. However, as [[evolution]] progresses and genetics [[defects]] are upstepped, this [[barbarism]] is gradually replaced by something more tolerable. But even on such normal planets, for long millennia, minor forms of inadequate culture and less than flawless love, cause milder versions of the [[problems]] now rife on [[Urantia]].

We are the [[catalysts]] of love, encouragers of the still [[moments]] in which you connect with the [[ultimate]] and unlimited [[reality]] within. We are [[the teachers]] of concepts of [[growth]] and [[healing]], the highest of which is your reach for the Father. Reach through the [[fear]]. It will not pale quickly for many, but you need not wait. Reach in fear and trembling through the [[dark]] to the [[light]] that shines in your own heart, and in time, the fear will fade away and the trembling will cease as at last you have the love you have always, always deserved. In that span, you as a child of light will be born out of the darkness and dispel yet one more part of the [[tragic]] state of [[your world]]. Be [[brave]]. [[Fear]] impels you to run, but do it not - it is a form of [[resisting]] [[evil]]. The fear will not kill you as you fear. Face it and see what is true, what is real. For lovelessness can never be real. It is a [[lie]] that says you will dwell forever with too little. [[Abundance]] is your birthright. Do not believe the lies within, or without. Seek [[contact]] with your precious [[adjuster]] within and your Father/Mother of Nebadon without. Between those loving [[embraces]], you are held forever safe and loved. Forever.

We love you with such [[love]]. If only we could tell you how strong it is, and how much stronger every day of your time makes it. But as strong as our love is, it pales beside the love of [[the Father]] who embraces you in the grasp of all time and eternity. [[Trust]] that Love.
