| For example, have you given any [[consideration]] to the contribution you have made to the [[Social movement|world wide movement]] now underway in which the [[soul]] of [[humanity]] has risen up to claim its [[rights]] and assert its [[dignity]] before those of [[authority]] which would keep them [[oppressed]] or play unkind [[games]] on them and otherwise succeeding at their [[expense]].

No, the [[teachers]] have not taught [[revolution]].

| This is what you call “[[spiritual pressure]].” This [[spiritual]] [[pressure]] business is in [[the Father]]’s [[mystery]], for if you were to attempt to apply spiritual pressure to someone it would backfire, surely. You cannot [[force]] someone to make [[spiritual]] [[decisions]]. You cannot make someone read the [[Urantia Book]]. You cannot make someone want to know [[God]]. You cannot force someone to live a [[righteous]] life. But if you do, if you [[represent]] the [[values]] you would have others reach for and live by, the [your [[actions]]] speak louder than [[words]]. Not only that, your good [[energy]], conjoined with the good energy of others, and a groundswell commences to enter into the [[consciousness]] -- [[collective consciousness]] of [[Urantia]] such that [[change]] is coming [[literally]] as well as figuratively. | | This is what you call “[[spiritual pressure]].” This [[spiritual]] [[pressure]] business is in [[the Father]]’s [[mystery]], for if you were to attempt to apply spiritual pressure to someone it would backfire, surely.
