The Beloved One: “The [[Doing the will of God|doing of God’s Will]] has been greatly misunderstood during the [[past]] ages. God’s Will simply means walking the way with the most [[love]] and [[respect]] for all, which is living the [[golden rule]] by doing unto others as you yourself, would like to be treated. It simply means the subduing and overcoming of the baser [[instincts]] and urges through self-[[discipline]] towards [[self-mastery]]. This is not an easy [[path]], but it builds a strong [[character]] which can withstand [[temptations]] and is not easily swayed by the false sophistries of others. It is not always easy for humans to know what the Will of God is, because mortals generally think that the doing of God’s Will means to [[sacrifice]] all things that give them [[pleasure]]. This is an erroneous thought.
“[[Study]] the [[Part 4|life and teachings of Jesus]] in the [[Urantia Book]] and search out the [[truth]] about how he lived his life. [[The Bible]] has been a wonderful record to date but gives only a very meager account of his life and teachings. Your [[souls]] will be enormously enriched by [[enlightening]] yourselves about the Man [[Jesus]]. Find out how he actually lived his life even as a child and young adult having to make difficult [[decisions]] whilst endeavoring to [[do God’s will]] and personify his [[Father’s love]] for every man, woman and child. Jesus lived an exemplary life on earth by living this [[golden rule]] as a human being through [[training]] himself to become more conscious as a man of the realm by doing the Will of his Father in Heaven. He exhorted his followers to ‘love one another.’
“This golden rule is to be found in all [[religions]], but has never seriously been [[practiced]] to the fullest extent possible. [[Wars]] have not ceased. Even among families and [[neighbors]], this blight carries on, for the cave-mentality has not been subdued and overcome, as the [[greed]] motive and material tendencies have outstripped and replaced religion and its practice.
“Over years past, too little [[attention]] has been given to the cultivation and training of true character building, as the majority of humans live their lives from day to day and do not pay [[attention]] to the [[Ta|Still Small Voice of God within them]]. Lip-service is often enough when people dutifully trot off to their churches, synagogues, mosques, tabernacles or other temples of [[worship]], to pay their penance and dues and think that this is enough and all is just fine in their world. Meanwhile they don’t search within their selves seeking for God and the [[meaning]] and [[purpose]] of life, because it is easier to have others do their [[thinking]] for them, being deluded that those are supposedly better educated.
===Closing===
“The [[Correcting Time]] has come to teach that you are all [[responsible]] for your own [[thoughts]] and [[actions]]. Therefore you can ask your [[Thought Adjuster]] at your Inner Center through [[meditation]] and [[prayer]] what God’s will is and how to [[surrender]] your self-will. The time is at hand to make those life-changing [[decisions]]. Will it be a [[path]] filled with love and goodwill towards all others so the [[benign virus]] of love has a [[chance]] to spread all over the planet?
“This decision will be asked of all humans born on all the [[worlds of space]] who have elected and chosen to [[obey]] God’s only command to [[become]] [[perfect]].
===Quote===
“The myriad planetary systems were all made to [[eventually]] be inhabited by many different types of intelligent [[creatures]], beings who could know God, [[receive]] the divine [[affection]], and [[love]] him in return.” - [[1:0|1:0.2]]
