Teacher Ophelius: “Dear One, the question has been asked about what it means to answer the [[Universal Father]]’s edict to ‘Be perfect, as I AM perfect,’ and more specifically, what it means for you — those living on [[Urantia]]. Certainly [[perfection]] in and of itself is something that is not attainable on the [[evolutionary worlds]] of time, but there is a ‘standard’ that is set for those at each planetary level of evolutionary status, meaning: ‘Be you perfect in your own day and time.’ Because life on each evolutionary world develops uniquely and stands at [[Paper 52|various stages of development]], with respect to [[Light and Life]] status, there are different standards set for each as an expected ‘curve’ of normal development and [[growth]] as it is viewed by your planetary administrators: the [[Planetary Prince]], the [[System Sovereign]] and the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]].

“Once a [[Magisterial Son]], or a [[Creator Son]] visits the planet, the bar is raised yet again and the TAs flock to these worlds in great numbers which have been prepared by the [[Spirit of Truth]] to indwell the minds of those creatures for [[fusion]] potential. From this point, the planet is on an upward curve of development in both [[science]] and [[spirituality]].

“Everything I have just described (greatly abridged) to you is more or less the ‘[[normal]]’ curve of planetary [[evolution]] and expectation. However, your world, being classed as an [[experimental world]] and one that has been involved in a [[Lucifer Rebellion|system wide rebellion]] for over 200,000 years, has had a ‘relapse’ in growth and spiritual development, and so it is that the standard set for those who live their lives on [[Urantia]] is ‘adjusted’ for their ‘day and time.’ In part 2 of this message we shall look more closely at what that standard is and how it relates to your current development.

Teacher Ophelius: “In part 1 of this message we talked about the ‘[[normal]]’ curve of planetary development and what the [[expectation]] was for each world according to its evolutionary standing — to be ‘[[perfect]]’ meant living a life according to the guided and inherent [[maturity]] of the personal, spiritual, and social memes in planetary [[consciousness]] that were available to that day and [[generation]]. The ‘bar’ (expectation) that is set by your [[planetary administrators]] takes into consideration all these developmental [[factors]] for which a planetary dispensation is crafted to set standards and limitations for how each generation is to be guided according to its ‘intended’ [[path]] of development. To live a ‘perfect life’ on [[Urantia]], is one of the most [[challenging]] endeavors in [[the universe]] for the [[souls]] born to this world and for the planetary administration that oversees a dispensation.
 +

“Urantia, being an [[experimental world]] and having been greatly affected by the [[Lucifer Rebellion]], was a recipe for disastrous setbacks in both the biological and sociological development of your species. There was much ‘tinkering’ by the rebellious leaders to ‘disconnect’ man from knowing the love of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Great Plan]]. The ‘light of [[truth]]’ that [[inspires]] man to be more than what he is was nearly [[extinct]] on Urantia were it not for the emergency service of [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek — the ‘Priest of Salem’ who brought the lost teachings of your spiritual heritage back into planetary consciousness as he and his missionaries spread the light of truth throughout the world which then seeded all the known religions of today and paved a way for the greatest spiritual dispensation and [[revelation]] any world in the universe could hope for — the bestowal of a [[Creator Son]] born to woman as [[Jesus]] of Nazareth and the outpouring of the [[Spirit of Truth]] on all flesh.
    +
“It is said that the Son of Man lived a perfect life and is the example for all worlds in the local universe for what a perfect life meant for that day and time which could therefore be extrapolated by planetary administrators across all stages of planetary development for the standards that would be used to guide the evolutionary process. Jesus was challenged in all ways in his humanity as any of you are in your lives. He is the pattern example for human behavior and spiritual achievement. He attained perfect ‘atunement’ with his Indwelling Spirit, which at that point did he awaken to his full consciousness as a Creator Son. In His words: ‘You shall achieve even greater things than I,’ was a testament for the powerful potential that is within the human heart. I say ‘heart’ because that is where the Spirit speaks.
 +
 +
“I admonish each of you to [[read]] [[your text]] on the [[Part 4|Life and Teachings of Jesus]] and examine the powerful character of His [[humanity]] — the [[courage]], [[compassion]], and righteous living that he demonstrated among his fellows — even in the face of incredible [[ignorance]] and [[cruelty]] and in the actions of the darkened minds of that time. In His exemplary life He gives us the key to unlock that human [[potential]] to ‘achieve even greater things.’ He challenges us to [[love]], not only with a neighborly love, but with a Fatherly love — even unto your enemies — a simple statement, but with an utterly powerful consequence.

“Peace to you,

A “dispensation” is defined as an [[epoch]] of time on an [[evolutionary world]] where certain rules and standards are set in place by the celestial [[planetary administration]] which governs the path of planetary [[evolution]]. This includes, but is not limited to: [[revelation]], spiritual influence, and universe energies which may or may not be used in the [[process]] of moving a developing world from one epoch to another — a “playbook” of sorts. Worlds that have been involved in rebellion need very carefully considered dispensations. Every dispensation sets the bar for human “accountability” which determines the [[mercy]] ministry to be considered for the [[souls]] of that world.
