Is loyalty -- devotion to highest duty -- desirable? Then must man
carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of
default. [The Urantia book, p.51, par.11]
Is unselfishness -- the spirit of self-forgetfulness -- desirable?
Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. [The Urantia book, p.51, par.12]
January 31
Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no
self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate
the good by contrast. [The Urantia book, p.51, par.12]
February 1
Is pleasure -- the satisfaction of happiness -- desirable? Then
must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.
[The Urantia book, p.51, par.13]
February 2
Universe causes cannot be lower than universe effects. The source
of the streams of universe life and of the cosmic mind must be above the levels of their manifestation. [The Urantia book, p.53, par.1]
February 3
The human mind cannot be consistently explained in terms of the
lower orders of existence. Man's mind can be truly comprehended only by recognizing the reality of higher orders of thought
and purposive will. [The Urantia book, p.53, par.1]
February 4
Man as a moral being is inexplicable unless the reality of the Universal
Father is acknowledged. [The Urantia book, p.53, par.1]
