Teacher: Prolotheos ―
Primitive man, evolved from the lower primates, was rarely capable of expressing real joy. Nonetheless, the capacity of manifesting joyous feelings has always been a feature of the human personality. In fact, only after the genetic upstepping by the Adamites did humans become more joyful creatures. The sense of the ludicrous is an important dimension of human life and its regular enjoyment provides the necessary equilibrium with the more serious and strenuous activities of daily living. The importance of entertainment activities is well acknowledged in the Morontia Worlds by the existence of a special recreation corps called the Reversion Directors, whose ministry of diversion is most appreciated by all classes of beings. We may distinguish three primary sources for human joy.

Teacher: Samuel of Panoptia ―
The very first thing that I wish to remind you of is that you are an evolutionary being in that as a general universal rule you are not entitled to revelationary material. As a product of evolution you are meant to grow into knowledge and wisdom by personal effort. So it is for the individual, for the family, for a nation, and in fact for an entire planet. Long ago it was determined that force-feeding information to those that are not yet ready can be counter productive.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
At times, you feel as if your heart was about to shatter under tremendous emotional pressure. Pain, be it physical, mental, emotional, or ethereal, can insinuate itself in the other layers of your being, as they are like communicating vases. You do have the option to initiate a bypass of sorts to prevent radiating pains from attacking your overall immunity.

God is an infinite existential being who dwells in the circle of eternity. “To [Him], there is no past, present, or future; all time is present at any given moment. He is the great and only I AM.” [The Urantia Book, 2:1.5] He made the free-will decision to become experiential through His creative endeavors by eventuating the multi-dimensional canvas of time and space—the evolutionary playground.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
To repress is to hold something back or to prevent an act of volition—often by force. Inhibition is a feeling that makes one self-conscious and unable to act in a relaxed and natural way. Both refer, generally, to the act of subduing something.

One thing is sure: Repression and inhibition generate unhappy emotions, as they greatly restrict positive self-expression. Sadly, many religious leaders emotionally manipulate their adepts into unhealthy submission by inappropriately scolding and shaming them. How could one ever experience spiritual bliss while suppressing the spontaneous expression of the innate soul cheerfulness?

Teacher: Judas ―
It is really a very attractive area for many spirits. There is neither cold nor excessive heat, people live in freedom, there is neither dominion nor slavery, spirits there don’t need to worry about how to earn their living, because as you already know, spirits don’t need to eat, their clothes don’t wear out, in short, it is an environment of freedom and happiness. That is why many spirits stay there for many years, happy with their situation, which in fact in the great majority of cases is much better than the condition in which they had to live on Earth.

Teacher: Judas ―
As you will remember, last time I told you how the spirit who accompanied me informed me that the time had come for leaving this entrance place into the spirit world. I had come to understand perfectly well that I no longer lived on Earth. I had even arrived at the knowledge that my “physical” state, that is, the condition of my spiritual body, was horrible. It was ugly, and I felt very bad.

The spirit took me by my hand and led me to a very different place, at the same speed as he had taken me from the place of my death to the spirit world.
