TEPOT The Evolutionary Process Of Thought   A message from: Verne Joseph Finucane-Urantia A PERSONAL COMMENTARY ON LIVING LIFE. AND SUGGESTIONS ON POSSIBLE CHANGES TO IMPROVE AMERICA. First, always tell the truth, try to say what you mean and mean what you say. Try and say what you’re going to do, then do what you say and if you can't for whatever legitimate reason, let the other affected parties know. Try never to leave others hanging. Always try to speak from the heart and learn from your errors, grow and evolve. We are experiential creatures, we learn, grow and evolve by doing, making daily decisions, by seeking the truth and taking effective action. Think logically and not emotionally.  Try and see the whole picture. Example, excerpt from The Urantia Book: " In the mind’s eye conjure up a picture of one of your primitive ancestors of cave-dwelling times — a short, misshapen filthy, snarling hulk of a man standing, legs spread, club upraised, breathing hate and animosity as he looks fiercely just ahead. Such a picture hardly depicts the divine dignity of man. But allow us to enlarge the picture. In front of this animated human crouches a saber-toothed tiger. Behind him, a woman and two children. Immediately you recognize that such a picture stands for the beginnings of much that is fine and noble in humans, but the man is the same in both pictures. Only, in the second sketch, you are favored with a widened horizon. You therein discern the motivation of this evolving mortal. His attitude becomes praiseworthy because you understand him. If you could only fathom the motives of your associates, how much better you would understand them. If you could only know your fellows, you would eventually fall in love with them. *   100:4.5 (1098.2) http://www.urantia.org
