Everyone makes mistakes (errors of life) and this is evident or we would have fused by
now, therefore since none has reached perfection we are all on the same march to new
spiritual heights, and being that our goal is to subjugate energy-matter to mind
coordinated with spirit our purpose becomes one of spiritualizing our lives for the next
stage of evolution - what God wants us to do next is a partial unknown, but we do know
that whatever we do, if it enhances us spiritually we are carrying out His plan by actively
contributing to the growth of His evolutionary manifestation - the Supreme Being. When
we advance spiritually we are automatically contributing to the growth of the Supreme.
The Supreme is part of the Deity mechanism of the master universe - that part of the
down-reach of the dual presence of Deity to the evolutional universe. All good put forth
by sub-infinite creatures contributes to His growth, inclusive of the Creator Sons and
the Ancients of Days. When the world begins to align itself with the more spiritual and
more intelligent beings in God’s domain spiritual change becomes inevitable.
In summary, no one really knows what God’s intended purpose is but through the
Urantia book the writing is clear that in this age, the second age of eternity, we are
being prepared for the next age, the first outer space level. This coming third age, we
are told, will be entirely antithetical to the current age and yet nothing like the first age.
If it is different from the perfect age of Havona and its counterpart the imperfect
evolutional age of the present, what can it possibly be? No one really knows except
God and his confidents, but we do know it will be the place of our future dwelling -
arriving there is our challenge for now, and to meet this challenge we have to be
spiritually perfect. We have millions of years to do this. The spirit can be perfected in
this age - what is never completely devoid of progress throughout eternity is that
bestowal of the Infinite Spirit that keeps everything interacting - one’s own mind. It
progresses as we experience life through eternity.
Conceptually we are infants in the universe - primary midwayers existed over 500,000
years ago, the Life Carriers way before the dinosaurs, the Divine Counselors before
the organization of the universe. We essentially are pre-kindergarten. No wonder no
one wants to talk to us. Infants incidentally, can do something even if they can’t change
their own diapers - they can learn. I was an idiot before I got into the Urantia book, now I’
m just a slightly smarter idiot - plenty of room for progress. Our purpose is to achieve
unity of personality through increasing spirit dominance. If it’s God’s will, we had better
do something about it. No one knows what God’s purpose is other than to provide an
eternal existence!
