52:6.1 The [[bestowal Son]] is the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.9 Prince of Peace]. He arrives with the [[message]], "Peace on earth and good will among men."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_2] On [[normal]] worlds this is a [[dispensation]] of world-wide [[peace]]; the nations no more learn [[war]]. But such salutary [[influences]] did not attend the coming of your [[bestowal Son]], [[Christ]] [[Michael]]. [[Urantia]] is not proceeding in the [[normal]] order. Your world is out of step in the [[planetary]] [[procession]]. Your Master, when on earth, warned his [[disciples]] that his [[advent]] would not bring the usual reign of [[peace]] on [[Urantia]]. He distinctly told them that there would be "wars and rumors of wars,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_21] and that nation would rise against nation. At another time he said, "Think not that I have come to bring peace upon earth."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_12]
52:6.2 Even on [[normal]] [[evolutionary worlds]] the [[realization]] of the world-wide brotherhood of man is not an easy accomplishment. On a [[confused]] and disordered [[planet]] like [[Urantia]] such an [[achievement]] requires a much longer time and [[necessitates]] far greater effort. Unaided [[social]] [[evolution]] can hardly [[achieve]] such [[happy]] results on a [[spiritually]] [[isolated]] [[sphere]]. [[Religious]] [[revelation]] is [[essential]] to the [[realization]] of [[brotherhood]] on [[Urantia]]. While [[Jesus]] has shown the way to the [[immediate]] [[attainment]] of [[spiritual]] [[brotherhood]], the [[realization]] of [[social]] brotherhood on your world depends much on the [[achievement]] of the following [[personal]] [[transformations]] and [[planetary]] [[adjustments]]:
*1. 52:6.3 ''Social fraternity''. Multiplication of [[international]] and interracial [[social]] [[contacts]] and [[fraternal]] [[associations]] through [[travel]], [[commerce]], and competitive [[play]]. [[Development]] of a common [[language]] and the multiplication of multilinguists. The [[racial]] and [[national]] interchange of [[students]], [[teachers]], industrialists, and religious [[philosophers]].
*2. 52:6.4 ''Intellectual cross-fertilization''. Brotherhood is impossible on a world whose [[inhabitants]] are so [[primitive]] that they fail to [[recognize]] the [[folly]] of unmitigated [[selfishness]]. There must occur an exchange of [[national]] and [[racial]] [[literature]]. Each race must become familiar with the [[thought]] of all [[races]]; each nation must know the [[feelings]] of all nations. [[Ignorance]] breeds [[suspicion]], and suspicion is incompatible with the [[essential]] [[attitude]] of [[sympathy]] and [[love]].
*3. 52:6.5 ''Ethical awakening''. Only [[ethical]] [[consciousness]] can unmask the immorality of [[human]] [[intolerance]] and the [[sinfulness]] of fratricidal strife. Only a [[moral]] [[conscience]] can condemn the [[evils]] of [[national]] [[envy]] and [[racial]] [[jealousy]]. Only [[moral]] [[beings]] will ever seek for that [[spiritual]] [[insight]] which is [[essential]] to living the [[golden rule]].
*4. 52:6.6 ''Political wisdom''. [[Emotional]] [[maturity]] is [[essential]] to [[self-control]]. Only [[emotional]] [[maturity]] will [[insure]] the substitution of [[international]] [[techniques]] of civilized [[adjudication]] for the [[barbarous]] arbitrament of [[war]]. [[Wise]] statesmen will sometime [[work]] for the welfare of [[humanity]] even while they strive to promote the interest of their [[national]] or [[racial]] [[groups]]. Selfish [[political]] [[sagacity]] is ultimately [[suicidal]]—destructive of all those enduring [[qualities]] which insure [[planetary]] [[group]] [[survival]].
*5. 52:6.7 ''Spiritual insight''. The [[brotherhood]] of [[man]] is, after all, predicated on the [[recognition]] of the [[fatherhood]] of [[God]]. The quickest way to [[realize]] the [[brotherhood]] of man on [[Urantia]] is to [[effect]] the [[spiritual]] [[transformation]] of present-day [[humanity]]. The only [[technique]] for [[accelerating]] the [[natural]] trend of [[social]] [[evolution]] is that of applying [[spiritual]] [[pressure]] from above, thus augmenting [[moral]] [[insight]] while enhancing the [[soul]] [[capacity]] of every [[mortal]] to [[understand]] and [[love]] every other [[mortal]]. [[Mutual]] [[understanding]] and [[fraternal]] [[love]] are [[transcendent]] civilizers and mighty [[factors]] in the world-wide [[realization]] of the [[brotherhood]] of [[man]].
52:6.8 If you could be transplanted from your backward and [[confused]] world to some [[normal]] [[planet]] now in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:5._POST-BESTOWAL_SON_MAN postbestowal Son age], you would think you had been [[translated]] to the [[heaven]] of your [[traditions]]. You would hardly believe that you were [[observing]] the [[normal]] [[evolutionary]] workings of a [[mortal]] [[sphere]] of [[human]] habitation. These worlds are in the [[spiritual]] [[circuits]] of their realm, and they [[enjoy]] all the advantages of the [[universe broadcasts]] and the [[reflectivity]] services of the [[superuniverse]].
