Even heaven, or the mansion worlds, are fraught with difficulties. You can easily lighten the burdens of today by considering that the journey toward the infinite center is only just beginning, that though your decisions are important and affect your life here and in the hereafter, that these decisions are ultimately made smaller as you ascend spiritually.

Even [[heaven]], or the [[mansion worlds]], are fraught with [[difficulties]]. You can easily lighten the [[burdens]] of today by considering that the [[journey]] toward the [[infinite]] center is only just beginning, that though your [[decisions]] are important and affect your [[life]] here and in [[the hereafter]], that these decisions are ultimately made smaller as you [[ascend]] spiritually.

By this, I mean that your decisions concerning life's myriad problems ultimately are smoothed out by your greater decisions concerning God. And even though your many decisions can cause fluctuations in your lives, can cause changes in your position, can cause seemingly major life alterations, still the over-arching decision of seeking God wholeheartedly throughout will ultimately guide your lives.

By this, I mean that your [[decisions]] concerning life's myriad [[problems]] ultimately are smoothed out by your greater [[decisions]] concerning [[God]]. And even though your many decisions can cause [[Change|fluctuations]] in your lives, can cause changes in your [[position]], can cause seemingly major life alterations, still the over-arching [[decision]] of [[seeking]] God wholeheartedly throughout will [[ultimately]] guide your lives.

You see, even in the next life state you are required to live. You must work, you must learn, you must socially interact. All the tendencies which you have begun upon Urantia carry over into your next life and still the overriding desire of finding God increasingly remains the molding decision in your life.

You see, even in the [[next life]] state you are required to live. You must [[work]], you must [[learn]], you must socially [[interact]]. All the tendencies which you have begun upon [[Urantia]] carry over into your next life and still the overriding [[desire]] of finding [[God]] increasingly remains the molding [[decision]] in your life.

In many respects, this life is not very different from the morontia life. Consequences of decisions still follow patterns, social interaction still remains a priority, learning better ways of living still occupy your lives, and the tender, fleeting and beautiful moments of true, deep love remain with you.

In many respects, this life is not very different from the [[morontia]] life. [[Consequences]] of [[decisions]] still follow patterns, [[social]] [[interaction]] still remains a [[priority]], learning better ways of living still occupy your lives, and the tender, fleeting and [[beautiful]] moments of true, deep [[love]] remain with you.

Surely, you must begin to see that your lives, even here on this lowly world, continue on into other better spheres of living, and this can ease the weight of life. Realize that you needn't cram an eternity of living into this short mortal existence. You are free to live your moments here to their fullest, knowing that ambition, desire, even love will ever be more fully experienced and expressed in the worlds to come.

You are [[free]] to live your moments here to their fullest, knowing that [[ambition]], [[desire]], even love will ever be more fully experienced and [[expressed]] in the worlds to come.
