Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “Ascension towards Perfection.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Perfection is a divine value meant by the Gods to be shared with their creatures, even with those of the lowest evolutionary origin, like you on Urantia. The ascension scheme spread throughout the seven super-universes is the means by which you can become a perfected being and finally reach Paradise. However, while on the ascension path — which you have only started on Urantia — perfection is a goal and living is the technique by which to process it, step by step — if you have indeed chosen to live by the will of God. This process includes the desire of a pure life — to be like God — by the practice of certain purging attitudes in life.
1 . . . Understanding and Tolerance. “Mind helps you to understand things in life, but it is conditioned by your ‘wisdom frame’ which can be distorted or even nullified by selfishness, prejudice, and intolerance. Understanding is more than simple assessment: it includes an attitude of acceptance without defiance. That is not necessarily to agree with it, but tolerance when it is against your views. Intolerance prevents a real comprehension of others’ views and an interaction towards peaceful, caring and productive relationships. Purge your reactions with understanding and tolerance.
2 . . . Restraint and Respect. “Your evolutionary origin poses many life challenges dealing with your inherited evolutionary animal traits, such as survival, bellicosity, selfishness, as well as pleasure and easiness seeking. All this calls for the necessity of restraint if one wants to progress on the ascension path. Animal urge restraint is to apply self-control both in consideration to your spiritual growth, and the well-being of others. Respect comes from the sense that your neighbor deserves as much consideration as do you. Respect sees you as a partner in life among others and others as fellow humans with a will, rights, and choices which must be respected, although not always necessarily condoned.
3 . . . Peace and Goodness. “Urantians still have a civilization status far removed from their being considered peace-loving human beings. However, as individuals on the ascension path, you can cultivate this love for peace and goodness which does add to your efforts for spiritual progress. Peace comes from the practice of loving your neighbor as yourself, combined with the realization you all belong to the same humanity and share the same spiritual status as children of God, brothers, and sisters in the Father’s household. Goodness towards creation and fellow humans springs from a peaceful and caring regard for nature and your neighbor. Loving peace and goodness are beyond the obligation of duty, it’s a progressive attitude of those who want to grow in perfection on the ascension path.
“So, my pupil, purity of heart is neither magical nor mystical. Rather, it is the result of spiritual attitudes towards a living marked by a desire to spiritually progress on the path of ascension which culminates in the Paradise perfection. Understanding and tolerance will help you to build a peaceful and productive relationship with your fellow human beings. Restraining evolutionary animal urges coupled with genuine respect for others will make you a fair and considerate person. Being a peace-loving individual along with promoting goodness to others is your personal contribution to the world to eventually make it a planetary reality, I am glad to contribute to your growth in your ascension towards your Paradise perfection; I am Prolotheos, your teacher and tutor on High. Peace!”
