Changes

I am familiar with this time of year [[being]] about the [[birth]] of [[Jesus]] on the [[planet]]. We can all see how [[commercialism]] is taking over. This time of year has shown itself to be about [[materialism]] and I do say that is a [[good]] [[thing]]. It is a step up in [[evolutionary]] [[thinking]]. In the breakdown of various [[traditions]] we can see that what is in the [[hearts]] and [[minds]] of men is more important than [[words]] on paper or repeated traditions.

Why is it at this time of year that goodwill is supposed to be more prevalent than any other time of the year? As the [[Urantia]]n [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE mortal mind] evolves we will probably see the worst that [[mankind]] has to offer, which will instigate the [[good]] within. There are various [[phases]] throughout [[history]] that have shown mankind to struggle between embracing the [[animal]] within or likening itself to [[God-consciousness|higher-mindedness]].

I am saying that on a [[normal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary planet] that these [[events]] are most likely to occur. When [[individuals]] have [[faith]], the bitter cup of mortal living is more understandable. When difficult times rain down upon mortals and they [[embrace]] [[faith]] instead of animal [[instinct]], then is there advancement in [[mind]], not just in the mind of mortals, but also in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#16:6._THE_COSMIC_MIND cosmic mind] and the [[Supreme Being]].

Just like the [[Christmas]] season being about [[materialism]], man is becoming worn out and is searching for something more meaningful. This is [[good]]. Man does not have to [[embrace]] a baby in a manger but [[ponder]] [[God]]’s [[presence]] as the [[ultimate]] caretaker of the [[Universe]].
