From a broad perspective, I would say that it is quite difficult to live on a planet which has had so much turmoil and should, in all rightness, have progressed much further. It is rather a mixed blessing, as we have said before. From our perspective, which I realize can never be yours, we see so much opportunity here for service, literally everywhere that you turn. We have learned that through service, through the giving of live, there is much joy to be reaped. So, the more you give, the more received, and therefore we want to continue working in this beautiful and brilliant spiritual light and hope that, in my case, you can reflect just a part of it.

But it is not possible for you to have experienced these magnificent feelings of joy because your whole brief life here has been in the darkness and you have seen many problems and hardships. You have never experienced the great potential where you will ultimately be. It is extremely difficult to visualize for you. But I will say there is a special blessing waiting for each and every one of you. For you are what have been called by some agondonters, or people who are able to believe, to reach a level of faith in the Father and in the power of goodness, love and truth, even though you have been surrounded by such turmoil and the strong teachings that it is good to be competitive, suspicious and physically strong, or even violent. These teachings have carried you through much misfortune and misery.

As you know, the teachings themselves must be [[changed]]. In many ways, [[Urantia]] must start at the very basic [[foundation]]. That is, within the [[individual]], within the [[family]], for from the family can [[emanate]] great [[values]] that are being sorely missed at this time. indeed, the breakdown of [[parenting]] has actually grown, as have so many [[problems]] from [[crime]], [[disease]] and [[hatred]].
