Thought Adjuster: “When will you realize that [[our Father]] has given you absolute [[freedom]] to live your lives? The plan of [[your Father]] for your mortal life is to simply let you [[explore]] [[spirituality]] and strive for [[perfection]] — to become proficient in the art of [[self-mastery]]. What is required from you is for you to move beyond your [[animal nature]] and express with increasing [[clarity]] your true and eternal [[spiritual]] nature. This can be achieved right there where you are now, in your present situation, in your [[profession]] and in your [[family]].
“This is how you can harmonize the idea of [[free will]] with living a live [[dedicated]] to [[the will of the Father]]. Trying to be better — the best you can [[aspire]] to be — is the overarching [[goal]], but the way in which you reach that goal is [[personal]] and original. A [[priest]] is only as likely to reach this glorious goal as is a factory worker, an [[intellectual]], or a homemaker. What you do is not the determining [[factor]] for success on the [[path]] to perfection. A consistent [[commitment]] to get to know your Father better is.
“A progressive spiritual [[awakening]] always affects all the other areas of human [[existence]]. The [[physician]] becomes more [[humanist]]. The [[sociologist]] turns the subjects of her studies into her brothers and sisters. The factory worker ceases to consider his labor as irrelevant to [[transform]] it into an opportunity for [[service]] to his neighbors. The [[artist]] ceases trying to reproduce the things of the world and glimpses the [[eternal]] realities. [[Everything]] that goes against the universal law of unconditional love vanishes from the life of these enlightened children and their labors are [[glorified]].
===Closing===
“You will not find [[the Father]] through your work or your [[service]]. Search first for the Father and your work will [[transform]] into a service to [[the universe]], your gift to the [[Creator]] and your contribution to the creation of a [[higher reality]]. Such a great advance would the [[Urantia]] civilization experience if every mortal attempted to first know his or her Father better, themselves and their siblings! You would receive everything else with great ease.”
