130:0.5 On this [[Mediterranean]] tour [[Jesus]] spent about half of each day teaching Ganid and [[acting]] as [[interpreter]] during Gonod's [[business]] [[conferences]] and [[social]] [[contacts]]. The remainder of each day, which was at his disposal, he [[devoted]] to making those close [[personal]] contacts with his fellow men, those [[intimate]] [[associations]] with the [[mortals]] of the realm, which so characterized his [[activities]] during these years that just preceded his [[public]] [[ministry]].

130:0.6 From firsthand [[observation]] and [[actual]] [[contact]] [[Jesus]] acquainted himself with the higher [[material]] and [[intellectual]] [[civilization]] of the [[Occident]] and the [[Levant]]; from Gonod and his brilliant son he learned a great deal about the [[civilization]] and [[culture]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India India] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_china China], for Gonod, himself a [[citizen]] of India, had made three extensive trips to the [[empire]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA yellow race].

130:0.7 Ganid, the young man, learned much from [[Jesus]] during this long and [[intimate]] [[association]]. They [[developed]] a great [[affection]] for each other, and the lad's [[father]] many times tried to persuade Jesus to return with them to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India], but [[Jesus]] always declined, pleading the [[necessity]] for returning to his [[family]] in [[Palestine]].

130:1.5 [[Jesus]]' last visit with Gadiah had to do with a discussion of [[good]] and [[evil]]. This young [[Philistine]] was much troubled by a [[feeling]] of injustice because of the [[presence]] of [[evil]] in the world alongside the [[good]]. He said: " How can [[God]], if he is infinitely [[good]], permit us to [[suffer]] the sorrows of [[evil]]; after all, who creates evil? "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Theodicy] It was still believed by many in those days that [[God]] creates both good and evil, but  never taught such [[error]]. In answering this question, Jesus said: " My [[brother]], [[God]] is [[love]]; therefore he must be [[good]], and his goodness is so great and real that it cannot contain the small and unreal things of [[evil]]. God is so positively good that there is [[absolutely]] no place in him for [[negative]] [[evil]]. Evil is the immature [[choosing]] and the unthinking misstep of those who are [[resistant]] to [[goodness]], rejectful of [[beauty]], and disloyal to [[truth]]. Evil is only the misadaptation of immaturity or the disruptive and distorting [[influence]] of [[ignorance]]. Evil is the [[inevitable]] [[darkness]] which follows upon the heels of the unwise rejection of light. [[Evil]] is that which is [[dark]] and untrue, and which, when [[consciously]] [[embraced]] and willfully endorsed, becomes [[sin]].

130:1.6 " Y[[our Father]] in heaven, by [[endowing]] you with the [[power]] to [[choose]] between [[truth]] and [[error]], created the [[potential]] [[negative]] of the positive way of [[light and life]]; but such [[errors]] of [[evil]] are really nonexistent until such a time as an [[intelligent]] [[creature]] wills their [[existence]] by mischoosing the way of life.

" Gadiah was fully [[satisfied]] with [[Jesus]]' answer to his question after their subsequent [[discussion]] had made clear to his [[mind]] the real [[meaning]] of these momentous [[statements]].

130:2.4 One of the [[young men]] who worked with [[Jesus]] one day on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_oar steering paddle] became much interested in the words which he dropped from hour to hour as they toiled in the shipyard. When [[Jesus]] intimated that [[the Father]] in heaven was interested in the [[welfare]] of his [[children]] on [[earth]], this young Greek, Anaxand, said: " If the Gods are interested in me, then why do they not remove the cruel and unjust foreman of this workshop? " He was startled when [[Jesus]] replied, " Since you know the ways of [[kindness]] and [[value]] [[justice]], perhaps [[the Gods]] have brought this erring man near that you may [[lead]] him into this better way. Maybe you are the salt which is to make this brother more agreeable to all other men; that is, if you have not lost your savor. As it is, this man is your master in that his [[evil]] ways unfavorably [[influence]] you. Why not assert your mastery of [[evil]] by [[virtue]] of the [[power]] of [[goodness]] and thus become the master of all [[relations]] between the two of you? I [[predict]] that the good in you could overcome the evil in him if you gave it a fair and living [[chance]]. There is no [[adventure]] in the [[course]] of [[mortal]] [[existence]] more enthralling than to [[enjoy]] the exhilaration of becoming the material life [[partner]] with [[spiritual]] [[energy]] and [[divine]] [[truth]] in one of their triumphant struggles with error and evil. It is a [[marvelous]] and transforming [[experience]] to become the living [[channel]] of [[spiritual]] [[light]] to the [[mortal]] who sits in [[spiritual]] [[darkness]]. If you are more [[blessed]] with [[truth]] than is this man, his need should [[challenge]] you. Surely you are not the coward who could stand by on the seashore and watch a fellow man who could not swim perish! How much more of [[value]] is this man's [[soul]] floundering in [[darkness]] compared to his [[body]] drowning in [[water]]! "

130:2.5 Anaxand was mightily moved by [[Jesus]]' [[words]]. Presently he told his superior what Jesus had said, and that night they both sought [[Jesus]]' advice as to the welfare of their [[souls]]. And later on, after the [[Christian]] message had been proclaimed in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caeserea Caesarea], both of these men, one a [[Greek]] and the other a [[Roman]], believed [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_139#139:5._PHILIP_THE_CURIOUS Philip]'s preaching and became prominent members of the church which he founded. Later this young [[Greek]] was appointed the steward of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Centurion Roman centurion], Cornelius, who became a believer through [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s ministry. Anaxand continued to minister [[light]] to those who sat in [[darkness]] until the days of [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]]'s imprisonment at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caeserea Caesarea], when he perished, by [[accident]], in the great slaughter of twenty thousand Jews while he ministered to the suffering and dying.

130:2.6 Ganid was, by this time, beginning to learn how his [[tutor]] spent his [[leisure]] in this unusual [[personal]] [[ministry]] to his fellow men, and the young Indian set about to find out the [[motive]] for these incessant [[activities]]. He asked, " Why do you occupy yourself so continuously with these visits with strangers? " And [[Jesus]] answered: " Ganid, no man is a stranger to one who knows [[God]]. In the [[experience]] of finding [[the Father]] in heaven you [[discover]] that all men are your brothers, and does it seem strange that one should enjoy the exhilaration of meeting a newly discovered brother? To become acquainted with one's brothers and sisters, to know their [[problems]] and to learn to [[love]] them, is the [[supreme]] [[experience]] of living. "

130:2.7 This was a [[conference]] which lasted well into the night, in the course of which the young man requested [[Jesus]] to tell him the [[difference]] between the will of God and that [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE human mind] [[act]] of [[choosing]] which is also called [[Free will|will]]. In substance Jesus said: The will of God is the way of God, [[partnership]] with the [[choice]] of God in the face of any [[potential]] alternative. To do the will of God, therefore, is the [[progressive]] [[experience]] of becoming more and more like God, and God is the [[source]] and [[destiny]] of all that is [[good]] and [[beautiful]] and [[true]]. The will of man is the way of man, the sum and substance of that which the [[mortal]] [[chooses]] to be and do. [[Free will|Will]] is the deliberate [[choice]] of a [[self-conscious]] being which leads to decision-conduct based on [[intelligent]] [[reflection]].

130:2.8 That afternoon [[Jesus]] and Ganid had both enjoyed playing with a very [[intelligent]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herding_dog shepherd dog], and Ganid wanted to know whether the dog had a [[soul]], whether it had a will, and in response to his questions Jesus said: " The dog has a [[mind]] which can know [[material]] man, his master, but cannot know [[God]], who is [[spirit]]; therefore the dog does not possess a [[spiritual]] nature and cannot enjoy a spiritual [[experience]]. The dog may have a will derived from [[nature]] and augmented by [[training]], but such a [[power]] of [[mind]] is not a spiritual force, neither is it comparable to the human will, inasmuch as it is not [[reflective]] —it is not the result of discriminating higher and [[moral]] [[meanings]] or choosing spiritual and eternal [[values]]. It is the [[possession]] of such powers of spiritual [[discrimination]] and [[truth]] choosing that makes mortal man a [[moral]] [[being]], a [[creature]] endowed with the attributes of spiritual [[responsibility]] and the potential of [[eternal]] [[survival]]. " Jesus went on to [[explain]] that it is the [[absence]] of such mental powers in the [[animal]] which makes it forever impossible for the animal world to develop [[language]] in time or to experience anything equivalent to [[personality]] survival in [[eternity]]. As a result of this day's instruction Ganid never again entertained [[belief]] in the [[transmigration]] of the [[souls]] of men into the bodies of animals.

130:2.9 The next day Ganid talked all this over with his [[father]], and it was in answer to Gonod's question that [[Jesus]] [[explained]] that " human wills which are fully occupied with passing only upon [[temporal]] [[decisions]] having to do with the [[material]] [[problems]] of animal [[existence]] are [[doomed]] to perish in time. Those who make wholehearted [[moral]] decisions and unqualified [[spiritual]] [[choices]] are thus [[progressive]]ly identified with the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling and divine spirit]], and thereby are they increasingly [[transformed]] into the [[values]] of eternal [[survival]]—[[Ascension Career|unending progression]] of divine service. "

130:2.10 It was on this same day that we first heard that momentous [[truth]] which, stated in [[modern]] terms, would signify: " [[Free will|Will]] is that [[manifestation]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE human mind] which enables the subjective [[consciousness]] to express itself objectively and to [[experience]] the [[phenomenon]] of aspiring to be Godlike.

The [[fact]] of the partial in the [[presence]] of the complete constitutes [[relativity]] of [[reality]], creates [[necessity]] for [[intellectual]] [[choosing]], and establishes [[value]] levels of [[spirit]] recognition and [[response]]. The incomplete and finite [[concept]] of the Infinite which is held by the [[temporal]] and limited [[creature]] mind is, in and of itself, [[potential]] [[evil]]. But the augmenting [[error]] of unjustified deficiency in reasonable spiritual rectification of these originally [[inherent]] [[intellectual]] disharmonies and spiritual insufficiencies, is equivalent to the [[realization]] of [[actual]] [[evil]].

130:8.1 The first stop on the way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy Italy] was at the island of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta Malta]. Here [[Jesus]] had a long [[talk]] with a downhearted and discouraged young man named Claudus. This fellow had contemplated [[Suicide|taking his life]], but when he had finished talking with the [[scribe]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus], he said: " I will face life like a man; I am through [[playing]] the coward.

130:8.2 At [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracuse,_Sicily Syracuse] they spent a full week. The notable [[event]] of their stop here was the rehabilitation of Ezra, the backslidden [[Jew]], who kept the tavern where [[Jesus]] and his companions stopped. Ezra was [[charmed]] by [[Jesus]]' approach and asked him to help him come back to the [[faith]] of [[Israel]]. He [[expressed]] his hopelessness by saying, " I want to be a true son of [[Abraham]], but I cannot find [[God]].
