To [[perceive]] Father as a harsh [[judge]] has us live our lives with the [[fear]] that everything we do is under constant scrutiny, and will be judged and either [[condemned]] or commended, depending on the situation--certainly a limited way to live the mortal life. As we better know Father, we learn He is a true Caretaker, in that He truly [[desires]] to see us excel in [[everything]] we do. With this [[faith]] level we will live our lives as if [[the universe]] is with us and there is nothing we cannot do.

At this point in time this part of the world is truly the hub of [[Urantia]]. With all the activities taking place here now we are learning to cross many historic [[barriers]] to incorporate the [[Brotherhood of Man]] on earth. While these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Winter_Olympics Olympic games] are [[competitive]], they hold more now than ever such goodwill and sportsmanship. While each individual strives for their personal best, they are always working for the [[good]] of the whole team.

The [[energy]] that is being generated is definitely nutrition for the [[cosmic mind]]. While a great many [[individuals]] have come together to organize these games, a great many more [[celestial]] organizers have come to put this goodwill [[experience]] into a plan of [[action]] that will further generate new avenues of [[spiritual development]]. In the struggle of competition we are [[learning]] that no victory is ever worth [[hurting]] another.

To expand your [[understanding]] on the true [[Paper 2 - The Nature of God|nature of Father]] we feel we have a distinct place in [[the universe]]. We need not act out to draw [[attention]] to our own importance, no, for true [[joy]] comes from within. Joy comes from knowing the spiritual life is real.

[[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-02-03-Balanced_Living#Worship.2C_Detachment Last week] we spoke of [[attachments]] and how they create a [[distorted]] perception of [[reality]]. Our [[priorities]] change from [[Truth, Beauty, and Goodness]] to [[selfish]] [[purposes]] or [[survival]] purposes, yes. The hardest [[disappointments]] to bear are those realities you have built your life on--revealing themselves to be unstable, as if you have wasted so much [[time]] and [[energy]] putting your heart and mind into these things.

Do not [[waste]] anymore time in the punishment of [[regret]], the limited mindal game of 'only if.' Move onto a new [[thought]] [[direction]], become enthusiastic over [[future]] possibilities from past lessons learned. Do not dwell in your regrets and become further [[limited]] by them, no. God really is who you make Him out to be. That [[concept]] is extremely influential in your own mind. You will definitely live your life accordingly.
