Thought Adjuster: “The human [[potential]] is too great to be [[expressed]] during the span of a mortal life. However, the great [[creative]] power you possess is often restrained during your life in the flesh by false [[expectations]] and self-imposed [[limitations]]. These limits can be hard to detect since they originate on the false [[ideas]] you hold about [[reality]], ideas to which mortals frequently and obstinately [[attach]] themselves.
“In societies of this twenty-first century, the main [[motivation]] to begin any task or create something new is almost always [[material]]. You always expect to get a reward for the [[efforts]] invested and if the reward is not [[immediate]] the ‘[[logical]]’ [[course]] of [[action]] is to [[abandon]] that effort and try something else. This is considered by the [[majority]] as the best plan to follow. However, when the main motivation for [[achievement]] are personal rewards and the exaltation of the material [[ego]], the most important endeavors for the [[progress]] of [[civilization]] lose their [[value]] to the eyes of human beings and this is a sign of the impending [[collapse]], stagnation, and cessation of progress.
“Many [[necessary]] endeavors do not fall under the [[classification]] of ‘immediate personal benefits’ to which mortals on [[Urantia]] have become so accustomed. Many of the [[complex]] [[problems]] in this world can be solved only through the harmonious efforts of many [[generations]] working toward the same [[purpose]]. Most likely, the first generations may not enjoy the results of their efforts, but mortal [[intelligence]] should be sufficient to [[understand]] that the [[sacrifices]] of today will bring about a better world tomorrow.
“The [[desire]] for personal rewards effectively limits the creative [[potential]] that resides within each one of you. Once [[human being]]s [[change]] their material motivations by the higher [[aspirations]] of the search for [[perfection]] and the understanding of the [[Divine Will]], they will obtain the greatest and longest-lasting rewards for their efforts and the magnitude of their achievements will overshadow anything else that has been [[manifested]] in this sphere so far. It will be then when the true potential and [[power]] of humanity will be unleashed and they would have reached that [[tipping point]] that will promote the establishment of the age of [[light and life]].”
