Thought Adjuster: “[[Religion]] has been greatly distorted in [[Urantia|this confused world]]. Many consider religion must take the lives of those they regard as enemies of the [[faith]], simply because they [[think]] differently. The efforts of [[Light Workers]] who promote a new era of [[understanding]] on this planet should [[focus]] on what exists in common in all religions – the seed of [[truth]] that is contained in them all.
“In the past, religious people have strived to seek out [[differences]] and they strived to maintain the [[integrity]] of their [[doctrine]]. For [[Urantia]] to move into the age of [[Light and Life]], human beings must [[explore]] the [[roots]] of their [[creeds]] and [[traditions]] and discover the truth behind each of them. All the religions of this world arose from the true spiritual [[experiences]] of their founders. Over time they suffered from the [[influence]] of others who had not lived these experiences and offered their personal [[interpretation]], sometimes with the best [[intentions]], and sometimes not so much. Many rebelled against the [[abuses]] of religious leaders and set themselves apart creating their own varieties based on the same creeds.
“In this [[Correcting Time]], no new religions should arise and the search for every [[human being]] must become a personal one, simply to establish a connection with the [[presence]] of [[God]] – the [[Thought Adjuster]] – within each human being. Ideally, this would be the [[purpose]] of all religions and it is something each person must achieve quite by themselves.
“Therefore, [[Light Workers]] should [[focus]] on the simple [[truths]]. Promote the [[idea]] that everyone has direct access to [[the Father]], without the need for [[intermediaries]] or human agencies. The Father does not differentiate between His children and anyone who wants to find Him can do so, if he or she keeps this [[desire]] alive in their hearts. Everything else is [[superficial]]. The only thing that will cause a permanent [[transformation]] of the human being, and the sole cause for the [[spiritual progress]] comes from the [[sincere]] [[desire]] of a human being to find the Father in Heaven.
“Forget the sacred books, the commandments, [[traditions]] and rules. Let each one search within their own heart for [[truth, beauty, and goodness]]. These three attributes cannot be [[confused]] with something that does not possess these same attributes, unless the mental [[clarity]] of the [[individual]] has somehow been [[perverted]]. All that possesses these three attributes is an [[expression]] of the Father and when the creature sincerely seeks spiritual [[enlightenment]], he will find what he needs within his own being. In this age there will no longer be spiritual teachers because everyone will discover that the best teacher already resides within their own mind.
“Here is the main requirement of all religions and the only thing that will produce a positive [[change]] in the [[individual]]: try to know [[the Father]]’s Will and dedicate your life to [[doing His Wil]]l. Seek the [[Love of God]] within you and express this Love to your fellows. That is all. Whoever ignores this fundamental [[truth]] will not be saved, even if he becomes an expert [[connoisseur]] of the sacred [[books]], or a scrupulous follower of religious laws and [[traditions]]. However, those who would [[consecrate]] themselves to this task and keep alive in their hearts the desire to be like [[God]], even if they stumble, they will already walk the [[path]] that will lead them directly to the personal [[presence]] of [[the Father]] in Heaven.”
