Descriptive words of things beautiful cannot thrill like the sight thereof, neither can creedal words inspire men's souls like the experience of knowing the presence of God.
From The Urantia Book pg. 2083:4, Paper 195:9.8
Descriptive words of things beautiful cannot thrill like the sight thereof, neither can creedal words inspire men's souls like the experience of knowing the presence of God.
"You have made this world and you can change it. The world, of which you are the only source and ground, is fully within your power to change. What is created can always be dissolved and re-created. All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it. You have created the world’s sorrows out of your own desires and fears, you deal with them. All is due to your having forgotten your own being. Having given reality to the picture on the screen, you love its people and suffer for them and seek to save them. It is just not so. You must begin with yourself. There is no other way."

mungkin, seperti kupu-kupu..
iya.. berawal dari seekor ulat,
yang menetas dari telurnya,
hidup di dahan dan ranting
sekian lama,
hingga pada suatu hari
dia berhenti
dan diam mengurung diri
dalam kepompong
walau terlihat diam di luar,
di dalam sedang terjadi sesuatu..
sel-sel perubahan dalam dirinya teraktivasi
melahirkan suatu bentuk yang baru..
akhirnya setelah matang,
lahir kembali kupu-kupu yang indah..
pun hidupnya tak jauh dari dahan dan ranting
ia tak lagi terikat pada keduanya
ia memandang dari perspektif yang lebih luas..
kemungkinan-kemungkinan baruyg semasa ulat hanya mimpi,
kini terbuka untuk ia raih..
ia bebas

you open a portal for God’s Love to pour forth into the world."
