Bob: I would refer you to the [[Urantia Book]], which speaks of these, the outer space fields, which are developing, which are now unoccupied. You will find fundamental answers to your questions there.

Student: I have a question, Bob. (Certainly.) You were mentioning the [[Celestial Architects]], and I was wondering if they play a role in [[intervention]] in any way. For instance, if a planet within a local universe developed to the point where there were physical beings evolving to the point where they all had, or for the most part, had indwelling [[Thought Adjusters]], and would a planet such as that, be allowed to collide, let us say, with some other celestial body that did not have life evolving on it, would it be allowed to become [[annihilated]], or would there be [[intervention]]?

Bob: Strictly speaking, the answer is “no” because they would not be the ones who would be mindful of the situation and effect a different outcome; it would be more specifically, the [[Most Highs]]. And yes, there are plans in place for all [[inhabited planets]] that may become impaled in a star or collide with another planet.

Bob: Let us tend to them when we have completed the lesson today. Is that fine? (Yes.) Thank you. Other questions related to the [[perfection]] of God?

Student: You said in the beginning, that we shouldn’t think in terms of “nothing is perfect,” that we are doing a disservice to ourselves, as well as to our understanding of God, when we suggest that perfection is not possible. I guess I have never really thought in terms that nothing can be perfect. I think of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflakes snowflakes], for instance, and think of every single one of them as being [[perfection]]. Newborn babies, flowers—so much that we are [[surrounded]] by—[[beauty]]. While everything is different, it is all perfect in and of itself. The only things I think of as being imperfect are perhaps things that happen between people [[interacting]] with one another, often so imperfectly. There is nothing wrong with thinking in those terms of imperfection, is there?

Bob: No, of course not. Babies are perfect; so are snowflakes. And you are very correct in determining that imperfection arises from the [[decisions]], the self-will [[decisions]] of [[individuals]], who do not know perfection. But for those who are conscious of the [[journey]], the attempt to become perfect becomes the ultimate chore, not as a [[competitive]] measurement of yourself against anyone else, but simply, it is your “work” to do. And that leads us into the second part of this lesson, which involves the [[love]] of God.

Bob: That is your question? (Yes.) Because of the decisions God has made to build this world, create it, and because of the decisions of others, who have made this world a torment for you. This is also made beautiful by the decisions that you have made; it is also made a torment by the decisions you have made. The undoing of the torment is in taking on a more loving nature and living in a loving way. That may sound awfully romanticized, but in fact simply living life by making decisions of perfection, those qualities of living, which are exemplified in your spiritual heroes that you have mentioned today is a practical way of learning to live successfully in a large universe. Strive to take on these decisions, these ways of living and thinking, and you will find a world that is different.
