Having Hope, Valor, Faith, and Action Creates a Spiritualution in the Midst of a World in Chaos, Near Total Destruction

by Gabriel of Urantia

Anyone who listens to the news today, or puts gas in their car and tries to put food on the table and pay the utility bills, knows that our planet is in trouble—not just America, but the whole world. People live in fear of natural disasters as well as the threat of a World War III and the threat of total world destruction by nuclear weapons. The prophets of doom are on talk radio, sharing even worse scenarios of the end of the world and the tribulations to come.

With the recent tsunamis and earthquakes, where hundreds of thousands of people are killed in one day, life doesn’t go on in any normal fashion—even if those tragedies didn’t happen to you or your family. The apocalyptic eschatological interpretations by prophets of the book of Revelation are bestsellers, and millions of people believe that we are living in the end times.

For anyone with some sense of spiritual intuitiveness, it is obvious that it very well may be what the Bible describes as the “times of the end of the world” or the “times of tribulation.” But I would like to give humankind—at least those people who haven’t been that much affected by earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters—one last chance of hope.

Barack Obama wrote a book called The Audacity of Hope. But I like to take hope another step forward, because hope without action serves no purpose, just like faith without action is truly a blind faith. I have given teachings in the past about the differences between hope and faith. All that I would like to say now about these two words is that faith incorporates God and God’s principles—God’s principles of life, health, and healing—as opposed to a false hope or man’s hope that takes no action.

I have, in the past, come up with a term called Spiritualution—the fusion of spirituality and activism. Spiritualution is a spiritual revolution. Spiritualution is the solution. Spiritualution is true hope, because it incorporates active participation in helping to change the world—not just thinking about it, or reading about it, or praying about it, or meditating about it.

Having hope that the world will change without putting your butt on the line is actually no hope. It is a coward’s hope. True hope is courageous and oftentimes confronting. If you let people get away with their dio/evil behavior and attitudes, the world will continue to self-destruct, because evil thinking and doing is a negative energy that the Mother Earth picks up, and she in return quakes or has her own outburst and storms. Mother Earth is feeling the error, sin, and iniquity of human beings’ oppression upon their fellow humans.

Yes, there are many practical answers to help save the world. They’re really simple, and there’s nothing really “political” about them, though political means may be used to implement solutions. When politics becomes bogged down in bureaucracy and ineffective diplomacy, then problems aren’t solved. Common sense and wisdom indicate that problems cannot be solved unless you confront the reasons for the problems and the person or persons responsible for causing the problems.

The answer to hope for the world is in the First Commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself. If people did this, on a worldwide scale, then hope would take action, and this is what would happen:

The 5 Principles of Planetary Peace and Justice

1. The rich would give most of their money away (that they really don’t need) to the needy. They would become true philanthropists. The line between the rich and the poor would vanish.

A responsible way to do this would be to give increments of money to respected and proven spiritual and church leaders so that they could disperse responsibly to the needy. This is the method Jesus used with the Apostles. The people gave to the Apostles, who in turn dispersed the funds to the people.

2. Free healthcare would be given to all, from babies to hospice. Any group of men who call themselves a government who follow the first commandment could not be in a government without this service to humanity.

As long as the money system exists, all doctors should be given a livable salary and no more. Doctors first and foremost are healers, and this should be the reason for their calling, not profit.

3. Free education would be given to all students who wish it, no matter what the age.

A national board of educators should be set up to disperse good teachers to various universities everywhere, so that education is equal in every university, as well as learning tools to be appropriately dispersed. This should extend to all levels and grades, from elementary to university.

4. Jobs would become careers, and all people would be placed in positions suitable to their experience, talents, and God-given destinies.

A national board should be organized—who understand the differences between old souls and new souls—that can determine early talents and place people (souls) according to their unique abilities and astral (past-life) experiences.
EXAMPLE: New souls usually find themselves in physical construction, whereas older souls are the architects and designers.
For more information read The Cosmic Family, Volume I. Please inquire for additional literature on the subject.

5. God would not become a subject that people would avoid but a subject that everyone would talk about with each other, because God is the Father of All. This would cause the end of all antiquated religions into one true world religion—the religion of the Fatherhood of God and the brother-/sisterhood of all humankind.

The Fifth Epochal Revelation (The URANTIA Book) and Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation (The Cosmic Family volumes) should be read, taught, and understood by all races and nationalities.

These 5 points are just the beginning.

The rest to come cannot even come until the first 5 principles are practiced, because those after that would not be close to being understood.

But the first 5 applied immediately might save the world from its own self-destruction and basically the lives of millions of people, by continuing earth changes and possibly world war.

You see, if you don’t understand that when one person in the world suffers you suffer too, you might not feel the immediate affects of that person suffering, but a country and a world that allow the suffering of other brothers and sisters in it and does not speak out against evil destroys itself by its own apathy. And the results of hundreds of thousands of years of apathy to Urantia/Earth are its soon destruction.

Can this message of mine reach the millions of people who need to hear it (not just in America, but around the world)? Who is in control of words of truth getting out there? Who stops the flow of truth?

Perhaps you do, when you support films that are a waste of money to make, when you support actors and actresses who have nothing to say and are just sex objects used by the media. Perhaps you stop the flow of truth when you read magazines with these false heroes and movie stars and rock stars who have nothing really to say to humanity. Perhaps you stop the flow of truth when you don’t demand higher films, higher music, and higher literature.

So let’s begin to cause a Spiritualution. Let’s give the world one last chance to heal itself. Let’s put spiritual and activism together. And pick a day when we can send a message to one group of real evildoers—the oil companies. Let’s pick July 5, 2008 as a day that whoever hears this message will not drive, will not buy gas that day.

And then, on the 5th of the next month, we do the same thing, if the gas prices don’t come down at least 25 cents each month. Let’s make the 5th of each month a day of reckoning between the people and the oil barons. (www.gccalliance.org/fuel-free-fifth-day) Make the Fuel-Free Fifth Days a time to enrich our humanity and unite with others in peaceful protest. We can do it!

Just think, if we the people can make that change, what else could we do? Stay tuned. I’m sure God will come up with something, if you millions put your hope, faith, and spirituality into action.
