| On the [[mansion worlds]] lessons in Spiritual [[vision]] are few, for you see, students there are without the hindrance of [[material]] form. Spiritual vision is quite [[natural]] and not labored over as a positive spiritual [[trait]]. It just is. You, however, have experienced spiritual [[blindness]] and spiritual vision. You are knowing of the [[contrast]] and I say this is of great [[value]]. Feel not [[pity]] for Urantian [[mortals]] for they have stood [[victorious]] over spiritual [[darkness]]. I say, yes, it was work on the part of all Urantian [[citizens]], but I also say, this is of great [[blessing]]. You are being educated to teach and assist your [[mortal]] fellows. No longer is this world [[pitied]] by the onlookers within [[the universe]], but given due [[respect]] as a cog in the wheel that enhances the [[growth]] of the [[Supreme Being]]. We will continue to [[ponder]] over your new [[experiences]] with spiritual [[vision]], but tonight I wish to say a few words on a direct benefit of the use of spiritual [[vision]]. | | On the [[mansion worlds]] lessons in Spiritual [[vision]] are few, for you see, students there are without the hindrance of [[material]] form.

− | Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_III] [[Liberty]] is a benefit [[bestowed]] by spiritual [[vision]]. To view yourselves and others with your new vision you are released from the bonds of human [[judgment]]. There is [[liberty]] in the everyday [[mortal]] living when you are at ease to be your true selves. There is also liberty for those that you view with your new eyes. There is a [[comfort]] in being with one who possesses not judgment, but [[love]] and complete [[acceptance]]. Do you see, when you choose to be spirit led, obtain spirit vision, view all [[personalities]] as [[children of God]], you are freeing yourself to be just that--yourself? Do you see, there is not a better thing to be?. | + | Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians#2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Corinthians.2C_III] [[Liberty]] is a benefit [[bestowed]] by spiritual [[vision]].

| I do not say take [[selfish]] concern and disregard your fellows [[opinions]]. I say look to [[your Father]], for it is Him that created and defines you.

You are viewing all with your new eyes and seeing yourself and others as a part of [[the whole]].
