Thought Adjuster: “Let us say a few [[words]] about the subject of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state separation between religion and state]. It is true that many groups use their religious [[beliefs]] as an excuse to abandon common sense and establish rules or laws that have little to do with human [[progress]] or simple respect for human life. This is a consequence of letting religion degrade into simple rules of conduct that are [[obeyed]] without any [[discernment]].
“Many of the outdated ideas of the religions of the past — before Michael’s visit — still persist in the [[minds]] of your government [[leaders]] and legislators. When this is the case it would be much better for governments to forget everything they think they know about [[religion]] and dedicate themselves exclusively to procuring the well-being of the people they represent by using the resources of [[logic]], [[common sense]] and [[science]].
“However, if this world had a religion in which every believer had as a [[personal]] goal the consecration of their personal will to the Divine Will, this religion would play an important role at all levels of [[society]] and would promote progress in all areas of human [[development]]. A religion like the one lived by [[Part 4|Michael in this world]] as the carpenter of Nazareth can only find complete [[expression]] by offering unconditional love in any task that may come in life.
“The most eloquent sign of [[spiritual progress]] is unconditional love to others — [[sharing]] the [[love]] of [[the Father]] with your peers in this world. This way the love of God is [[manifested]] in this world through the actions of [[His children]], when they lovingly serve their brothers and sisters. A government in which every [[individual]] lives with these beliefs systems and these noble aspirations will be a [[government]] that will truly promote progress for [[civilization]] to a level previously not reached on [[this world]].”
