BERTRAM: We are pleased, little one, to be with you once more this evening. The coldness of winter has settled upon your area of Urantia and tonight there is the beauty of a fresh new snowfall.

You have felt somewhat isolated today. We can draw an analogy to this isolation with the isolation of your planet in the universe. Like the snow, your world has been covered in default and rebellion. You have literally been in darkness, under your blanket of sin and evil. You have not been aware of the greater universe and universes of which you are really a part. You had no way of knowing your true purpose and destiny, the true plan of the Universal Father for all his children on all worlds.

Your world has stumbled and faltered in the darkness of ignorance and superstition. Even when truth was partially revealed, it was misunderstood and perverted in its understanding, and so you have had a mixture of truth sprinkled throughout all religions on earth. A little light was indeed better, than none at all. So never must you judge your brother when they do not seem to see as clearly as you do today. In the Fifth Epochal Revelation more has been revealed to your world now, than has been possible in ages past. It is not because you were more worthy to receive expanded truth, but that mankind has now developed to the point where his understanding is such, he CAN understand.

In the days of [[the Master]], the [[apostles]] were taught directly by [[Michael]], Himself, yet they could not grasp completely what He was trying to [[reveal]] to them. The subsequent [[scriptures]] were not a complete [[revelation]], just as the [[Urantia Book]] is not complete today. You are given what you are able to [[understand]] for now which is needful for your [[soul growth]], and for the advancement of the nations on [[earth]] today. The [[quest]] for [[truth]] is an ongoing [[experience]] for all to enjoy.

Now, as the [[Spirit of Truth]] spreads over [[Urantia]], more and more light will come to the nations, and a richer and fuller and more satisfying life will be [[experienced]] by all. [[Light and Life]] will dawn upon [[Urantia]] and the epochs of [[darkness]] will be no more.

The golden [[dawn]] of a [[new age]] for [[mankind]] will finally arrive. A time of true [[peace]] and [[harmony]] will prevail, as your world is united in [[brotherhood]] of all, and all come to the [[realization]] to the divine Fatherhood of all, then will there be less and less [[darkness]].
