Ophelius: “Good morning dear one. I am here, Ophelius, and
the Circle, and we are ready to begin. Today we speak on the development
of modern society and its reliance on, and insatiable pursuit of, materialism
that has caused and imbalance with spiritual realities and their development.
There are many factors that have led to this skewed condition, and as
mankind develops and evolves in the sciences, and brings forth new technologies
to relieve himself of the drudgery and maintenance of daily survival,
these material comforts begin to pull men away from spiritual connections
and drive him blindly toward the accumulation of more and more ‘things’as
a substitute for the yearnings and leadings of the Thought Adjuster
to progress the soul in its natural path to attain the Godhead.
“The development and use of technology and creature comforts are
a necessary part of all planetary evolution, for these allow man to
use his brain for higher functions -- the exploration of the arts and
sciences, the appreciation of beauty and music, and the development
of the mind adjutants of wisdom and worship that separate him from the
animal. Urantia has become retarded in its development of the higher
brain functions that regulate the pursuit of spiritual realities as
a normal part of his dual nature.
“This deficiency is largely due to the Lucifer rebellion and the
subsequent Calagastia betrayal that has perverted man’s dual nature
to ‘choose sides’ as it were; to develop one way or the other,
that being material or spiritual. It needn’t be this way, for a
normally developing evolutionary world, material progress is used as
a vehicle for the further development of the spiritual nature. There
is a fine balance that occurs, and that will eventually propel that
society, which has found equilibrium of the dual nature, into the stages
of Light and Life.
“Your world is going through a much needed correction of this perverted
imbalance. The elites, the men of power and privilege, who have betrayed
the public trust and put their own selfish desires and the hunger for
more material wealth and power ahead of the needs of their brothers,
have become the teachers and gatekeepers of the one-sided nature, and
they will guard and defend the illusion to its last breath. They are
determined to derail the development of the spiritual nature for fear
that it will mean an end to their rein of pleasure, power, and comfort.
To them, balance means sacrifice and redistribution—loss of identity
-- the identification of self to ‘things.’
“The folly of this thinking is that the soul hungers for this infusion
of spiritual reality, but the ego—the self -- sees this as a threat
to identity. As the master said to his disciples, ‘how much longer
must I remain with you, that you would understand these things,’
that the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God are the keys to
the kingdom. People of Urantia, let go of this one-sided pursuit, bring
balance into your lives—bring God into your lives. Fear not the
perils of the coming age, and do the will of your Father, for he will
keep you and guide you to safe harbors. Save your treasures in heaven,
for there, also, will be your heart.
“Good day,
”The Circle of Seven.”
