Prolotheos: “[[Anxiety]] is the characteristic of a restless spirit. Restlessness comes to [[human beings]] from their worrying that the [[circumstances]] of [[life]] will spin out of [[control]] into bad situations, causing harm to them. Anxiety is their being [[afraid]] of that which does not yet exist; they fear a [[possibility]]. Awareness of possible troubles ahead is useful in avoiding them, or dealing with them properly. However, when troubles are [[conceived]] by the [[mind]], they are given life, and once they are [[projected]], they might become [[actualities]]. Anxiety is a [[process]] of giving life to things you fear, instead of avoiding them.

“The spirit at [[rest]] is a condition of one who has gained a [[mature]] [[personality]], and developed a level of real [[beauty]] and [[harmony]] in life. Being at rest is a result of being at [[peace]] with the [[self]], [[others]] and [[the universe]]. The Spirit Within, as you call your [[Adjuster]], is an important element in [[experiencing]] this harmonious [[state]] of being, because these [[Mystery Monitors]] are the ones who sponsor the [[manifestation]] of real [[values]] in the life of their subjects. Following the Adjuster’s [[leadings]] will always improve your [[ability]] to deal with [[anxieties]].

“Correct are your [[sacred]] [[records]] attesting to the [[truth]] that “love sends away fear”. [[Love]] is the substance of [[ultimate]] [[reality]]. [[Evil]], adversely, springs from an ill-[[adaptation]] of the [[self]] to universe laws, it lacks [[enduring]] [[reality]]. Realizing this should put human minds at [[rest]], by allowing the self to find its place in the [[cosmic]] [[unity]] that [[links]] [[everything]]. In nurturing, ministering, and receiving [[love]], human beings are capable of finding their [[balance]] in life. Love can ensure real [[peace]] because it is the universe [[technique]] which accommodates every [[action]] and [[attitude]] into the good and perfect will of the Father.

“[[Faith]], indeed, is also [[essential]] to enjoy spiritual [[rest]]. Faith is the expectful state of [[hope]] that brings [[goodness]] into your personal [[experience]]. Good things happen to those who [[believe]]. Minds that are open to the good [[energies]] of [[the universe]] will enter in their energetic [[flow]] and make a [[channel]] to receive and distribute goodness.

“However, to [[human being]]s on [[Urantia]], life develops within the [[evolutionary]] [[cycles]] of [[time and space]], and [[perfection]] is yet a distant, although achievable [[future]] goal. You are on a [[journey]] from imperfection to perfection, and being at [[rest]] is experienced as opposed to having to deal with, everyday disturbing [[circumstances]]. The [[peace]] of a restful mind is not predicated by [[absence]] of [[conflicts]], but by [[assuming]] the correct [[attitude]] in facing them, which is acceptation and [[adaptation]] while pressing for [[spiritual progress]] from the [[standpoint]] of [[love]] and [[faith]].
===Closing===
“So, my [[pupil]], keep on [[loving]] and [[believing]], and the [[anxieties]] of daily living will fade away, one by one as you [[face]] them [[courageously]], for who knows the [[inherent]] [[goodness]] of [[the Universe]]. My love is with you; so is [[our Father]]’s love, which makes life very well [[worth]] of living! I am Prolotheos, your called-for [[tutor]], only a [[thought]] away.”
