Daniel: "In a sense. Part of the [[ability]] to end [[war]] is bringing a planet into [[Light and Life]]; being able to en[[vision]] a broader [[perspective]] for all [[mankind]]. There will be many types of [[peace]]. But the peace I speak of is one where there are many upliftments in all areas of life; that people can work [[together]] despite their [[diversity]]; can be of the [[understanding]] of [[economic]] [[stability]], [[planetary government]] and the [[knowledge]] of a one [[First Source and Center]]. All of these things will take place and in a [[planet]] that has evolved to [[Light and Life]] this is what you would see. You would see people of [[diverse]] [[cultures]] being able to work together; to be able to [[understand]] one another; to [[tolerate]] one another's [[differences]]; to work under [[one government]] [[organization]] that does not rule with an upper hand; where there will not be the haves and the have nots, but where there is more [[equity]], more [[understanding]], more [[ability]] of humans to be of [[service]] to one another, to reach out. There will be this lessening of need for [[personal]] [[gratification]], personal [[power]], personal [[wealth]]. And this can come about through [[individuals]] beginning with themselves with understanding [[peace]]. For when you understand true peace, the wants for [[material]] [[possessions]], for [[power]], fall to the wayside. And at that [[point]] you can come together as people, as sons and daughters of the [[First Source and Center]] to work and bring about [[peace]] on a [[planetary]] basis. Is this more helpful?"

B3: "Yes, thank you. Let me follow up on that with another [[question]]. Of the conditions [[Urantia Book|the book]] says [[planets]] must obtain before we are reaching [[Light and Life]], . .and it's been a while since I have [[read]] this so I may not have this exactly right..there are [[three]] which we haven't yet attained: we haven't the single [[language]], although [[English]] seems to be coming along to that [[point]]; we don't have a single [[government]], although there seems to be some [[progress]] made in that; it seems to me the final one, whether we have a single [[religion]], that seems to be the one that we are making the slowest [[progress]] on...my [[interpretation]] of that seems to be to [[believe]] in [[God]]...is there something you can tell us about this latter one that might be helpful in our walk at this point?"

V1: "Hi, Daniel. This is V1. I really [[appreciate]] once again your [[message]]. At [[home]] I was [[debating]] whether it was going to be on [[service]] because of something I [[read]] this morning. Service followed trustworthiness and yet I copied this week something that P1 had given me, '[[Symptoms]] of Inner [[Peace]]' and maybe I should have know that is what it was going to be on. But what I really would like to ask about is..thank you once again for your [[contrast]] between [[religion]] and [[spirituality]], and how important that was in my own life, that it is not necessarily the '[[religious]]' [[person]] that is [[spiritual]]..and I really appreciate you really just talking on that and the [[fact]] that in [[understanding]] other people, then we can also make our world a safer place. My [[question]] is...it seems so much bigger and broader out there and it seems much more [[difficult]] to live in [[peace]] with the people we work with, with the people we live with, with the people.. it seems like the people we are constantly rubbing our shoulders with. To me that it is more [[difficult]] to find peaceful ways of living than it is to [[think]] in terms of [[understanding]] another [[culture]] or another [[religion]]. That's removed somehow, and it's much harder for me close here at [[home]]. And I am [[wondering]] if you would talk about that as far as [[peace]] is concerned?"
