===Lesson===
Prolotheos: “[[Perfection]] is a divine [[value]] meant by [[the Gods]] to be [[shared]] with their creatures, even with those of the lowest evolutionary origin, like you on [[Urantia]]. The [[ascension]] scheme spread throughout the seven [[superuniverses]] is the means by which you can become a perfected being and finally reach [[Paradise]]. However, while on the ascension path — which you have only started on Urantia — perfection is a goal and living is the [[technique]] by which to [[process]] it, step by [[step]] — if you have indeed chosen to live by the will of God. This process includes the [[desire]] of a pure life — to be like God — by the [[practice]] of certain purging [[attitudes]] in life.

'''1 . . . Understanding and Tolerance'''. “[[Mind]] helps you to [[understand]] things in life, but it is conditioned by your ‘[[wisdom]] frame’ which can be [[distorted]] or even nullified by [[selfishness]], [[prejudice]], and intolerance. Understanding is more than simple assessment: it includes an attitude of [[acceptance]] without defiance. That is not necessarily to agree with it, but [[tolerance]] when it is against your views. Intolerance prevents a real comprehension of others’ views and an [[interaction]] towards peaceful, caring and productive [[relationships]]. Purge your reactions with understanding and tolerance.

'''2 . . . Restraint and Respect'''. “Your evolutionary origin poses many life [[challenges]] dealing with your inherited evolutionary [[animal]] traits, such as [[survival]], bellicosity, selfishness, as well as [[pleasure]] and easiness seeking. All this calls for the [[necessity]] of restraint if one wants to [[progress]] on the ascension path. Animal urge restraint is to apply [[self-control]] both in consideration to your [[spiritual growth]], and the well-being of others. [[Respect]] comes from the sense that your [[neighbor]] deserves as much consideration as do you. Respect sees you as a [[partner]] in life among others and others as fellow humans with a will, rights, and choices which must be respected, although not always necessarily condoned.

'''3 . . . Peace and Goodness'''. “Urantians still have a [[civilization]] status far removed from their being considered peace-loving [[human being]]s. However, as [[individuals]] on the ascension path, you can cultivate this [[love]] for [[peace]] and [[goodness]] which does add to your efforts for spiritual progress. Peace comes from the practice of loving your neighbor as yourself, combined with the [[realization]] you all belong to the same humanity and share the same spiritual [[status]] as [[children of God]], brothers, and sisters in [[the Father]]’s household. Goodness towards [[creation]] and fellow humans springs from a peaceful and caring regard for [[nature]] and your neighbor. Loving peace and goodness are beyond the [[obligation]] of duty, it's a [[progressive]] attitude of those who want to [[grow]] in perfection on the ascension path.
===Closing===
“So, my [[pupil]], [[purity]] of heart is neither magical nor [[mystical]]. Rather, it is the result of spiritual [[attitudes]] towards a living marked by a desire to spiritually [[progress]] on the path of [[ascension]] which [[culminates]] in the Paradise perfection. Understanding and tolerance will help you to build a peaceful and productive relationship with your fellow human beings. Restraining evolutionary animal urges coupled with genuine [[respect]] for others will make you a fair and considerate person. Being a peace-loving [[individual]] along with promoting [[goodness]] to others is your personal [[contribution]] to the world to eventually make it a planetary [[reality]], I am glad to contribute to your growth in your ascension towards your Paradise perfection; I am Prolotheos, your teacher and [[tutor]] on High. Peace!”
