Changes

The [[fact]] remains in all cases, "the evil one" is no more, and his direct [[influence]] is gone from [[Urantia]] and all other areas of his one-time reign. However, the [[effects]] of his [[decisions]] remain today, and herein is the great lesson. The effects of your [[decisions]] have far-reaching [[ramifications]]. Every time you choose to do your will over God's will, you are inviting a [[distortion]] of the [[reality]] which is meant to be your inheritance.

Many of the things you [[experience]] these days in your world are residue [[experiential]] from [[decisions]] made long ago. There is a saying in your [[culture]]: "The [[sins]] of the [[parents]] are visited upon their [[children]]," ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.34] and you who are involved in the [[Correcting Time]] are in the position now of taking [[responsibility]] for yourself henceforth, of drawing a line in the dirt between you and your predecessors and saying, "The buck stops here. Henceforth, I will follow the Lord. I will seek His will and follow it to the best of my [[ability]]. I will recognize the [[error]] of my ways, of my conditioning, of my [[intelligence]], and correct myself so that I may better serve those who have yet to go through the veil into the [[light]] that would have them purify themselves also of that which has gone before and which leaves a residue upon us as if it were smoke from a volcano dropping its ash everywhere.

Clear the air. Recognize [[evil]] as imperfection and [[error]]. Grasp [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] and yield to its [[power]], its drawing power. There is no rule that says you and/or [[Urantia]] have to stay in the [[dark]], cleaning up the debris of [[past]] ages and past error indefinitely. You can tilt the world on its axis by your [[perception]]. Begin to see your world and everything in it as if it were [[touched]] by the [[light]], as if it had already been cleansed and purged of all the error of [[history]]. Every [[Youth|young thing]] makes mistakes in the [[process]] of learning how to become [[mature]]. Put aside the things of your youth and [[embrace]] the fullness of your spirit [[adulthood]]. [[Aspire]] for [[self-mastery]] and make yourself amenable to those around you who are also attempting to become fishers of men, to clasp to our breast those who search for [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] in the [[hearts]] of others in hope that they will find it, too, within themselves.
