Prolotheos: “[[Evolutionary religion]]s are prone to create [[superstitions]], [[myths]], [[legends]] and fables. Although they are evolutionary creations, they are capable of [[expressing]] an ill-informed, but authentic spiritual [[faith]]. The [[facts]] may be wrong and useless, but the spiritual [[experiences]] they convey are of universal [[value]] because by faith, they make the [[transcendental]] leap from the circumscribed material [[sense]] to the [[spiritual]] dimension. True, this [[embryonic]] faith springs from [[evolution]], however, because it is also transcendental, this evolution becomes a [[spiritual evolution]], that starts in the beings’ [[native]] world and continues progressing to and through the [[morontia]] worlds on High. How does this faith progress from [[myths]], [[legends]], and fables to the robust faith of those who acknowledge themselves as children of the [[Universal Father]] and members of the human brotherhood?
'''1. Spiritual Agencies''': “[[Human being]]s were never without spiritual [[assistance]] since the acquisition of [[personality]]. The [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|spirits adjutants]] crown their earlier work over even the [[animal]] state with the functioning of the spirit of [[worship]] and the spirit of [[wisdom]]. At that point also began the ministry of the [[guardian angels]], first to groups, then to [[individuals]] after the conquest of the [[third psychic circle]], even enabling individuals to belong to the planetary [[reserve corps]]. Not only angelic beings assisted human beings in their early ages, but also other beings too as the [[Melchizedeks]], which are of record on [[Urantia]] to have ministered to [[primitive man]] and later on in [[Abraham]]’s days. Those kinds of spiritual agencies still work today on your planet, in greater numbers and in the most efficient manner.
'''2. Spiritual Dispensations''': “When human beings reach [[relative]] stages of [[biological]], [[social]], and [[spiritual]] [[maturity]], the [[local universe]] sends its Sons to inaugurate a new spiritual dispensation. That occurred on [[Urantia]] on two occasions: with the coming of [[Caligastia]] as the [[Planetary Prince]], as a civilizer ministry of [[Adam and Eve]], as racial uplifters. Although these two dispensations were tragically miscarried and did thwart their otherwise normal and salutary [[effects]], they were not a complete loss, and their limited benefits, especially on their cultural contribution to the formation of a [[civilization]] tinged with vestiges of their original religiosity. These vestiges are still present in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_religions today’s Urantia religions].
'''3. Spiritual Bestowals''': “A Spiritual Bestowal in the local universe is a spiritual gift given to a planet. When Christ [[Michael]] decided to finish [[Paper 119|His Bestowal Program]] to acquire total [[sovereignty]] over His Universe He chose to do this on Urantia, as [[Part 4|Jesus of Nazareth]]. That unscheduled, but most beneficial bestowal on your planet became the greatest spiritual [[influence]] not so for Urantia, but also for a whole on-looking [[universe]]. From that sprang two other important spiritual bestowals: the coming of the [[Spirit of Truth]] and the general outpouring of the [[Thought Adjuster]]s. Those bestowals are currently also supported by two other universe initiatives: the [[5th Epochal Revelation]], the [[Urantia Papers]], and the installation of the [[Correction Time]], under the supervision of the now Prince [[Machiventa]].
===Closing===
“Therefore, my pupil, [[faith]] progresses on a planet according to a series of spiritual [[interventions]] that start with the gift of [[personality]] and [[matures]] through spiritual agencies, dispensations, and bestowals. Of those, the most important being the [[119:7|Final Sovereignty Bestowal of Christ Michael]] with its unparalleled spiritual benefit superbly supported by the ministry of the [[Spirit of Truth]] and the [[Thought Adjusters]] pouring out over all normal Urantians, causing an unprecedented spiritual [[progress]] on Urantia for the last nearly 2000 years, although still dealing with retarding effects of the [[Lucifer Rebellion]].
I am Prolotheos, your [[tutor]]-teacher on High, most glad to [[participate]] in this Spiritual Recovery program of Urantia. Peace to all!”
