Changes

You are material [[being]]s, and this is God's will. I personally have created you through the means that I have ordained and you in the [[experience]] of parenthood, bearing children, share as co-creators with your children. The material realms are not to be despised; they are not to be rejected. The solution to the conflict between the values of material enjoyment and spiritual growth is not resolved by a rejection of the material world.

When I was a young man I greatly enjoyed my harp. It was a [[beautiful]] instrument and I could express my [[feelings]] when I played it, when I sang to it, when I sang the Psalms and other scriptures I loved and had learned. We had to give it up, as you know, as our poverty increased and I could not bear to allow it to be given to the tax collectors, so I gave it away.

[TR/Editor's note: I thought this was a TR error at first, that he "gave it away".. The UB says it was sold. But the meaning of "gave it away" was an emotional truth despite the fact that it was sold to allay increasing poverty. When something valuable is relinquished we often say . .I gave it away,.. no matter what price it brought. This understanding helped ease my self doubt about TR error]

My promise to return to this planet has been fulfilled numerous time, but I withhold my plans from even my closest associates regarding my relationship to [[Urantia]] including you who are my friends because you do what I ask you to do. This planet shall become the [[crown jewel]] in my universe diadem. I am needing you all and I appreciate and commend you on your apostleship.
