And yes, I understand that you are very likely referring to the book by Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now. I have read the book and it has some useful insights. However, it probably should be discussed on its own thread on that topic.

I have a negative comment to make about that, but I'm going to post it tomorrow.

Bradly especially, is fond of referring to himself as a tadpole.

(1394.1) 126:5.12 With the close of this fifteenth year Jesus completed the traversal of that dangerous and difficult period in human existence, that time of transition between the more complacent years of childhood and the consciousness of approaching manhood with its increased responsibilities and opportunities for the acquirement of advanced experience in the development of a noble character. The growth period for mind and body had ended, and now began the real career of this young man of Nazareth.

(1086.4) 99:1.1 Mechanical inventions and the dissemination of knowledge are modifying civilization; certain economic adjustments and social changes are imperative if cultural disaster is to be avoided. This new and oncoming social order will not settle down complacently for a millennium. The human race must become reconciled to a procession of changes, adjustments, and readjustments. Mankind is on the march toward a new and unrevealed planetary destiny.

(1086.5) 99:1.2 Religion must become a forceful influence for moral stability and spiritual progression functioning dynamically in the midst of these ever-changing conditions and never-ending economic adjustments.

(1086.6) 99:1.3 Urantia society can never hope to settle down as in past ages. The social ship has steamed out of the sheltered bays of established tradition and has begun its cruise upon the high seas of evolutionary destiny; and the soul of man, as never before in the world’s history, needs carefully to scrutinize its charts of morality and painstakingly to observe the compass of religious guidance. The paramount mission of religion as a social influence is to stabilize the ideals of mankind during these dangerous times of transition from one phase of civilization to another, from one level of culture to another.

This is true but, it is his prerogative to refer to himself as a child, where the following UB quote presenting the "tadpole" to "frog" is a form of complacency to stay as a child. For some this is okay, but there are others who would like to grow-up, and look at society and the current civilization as needing some change in order to progress forward.

Jesus, had a similar time, as noted in the UB, where He needed to make a change as He got older.

Where above, the same analogy might be presented as in the "tadpole" and "frog" narrative. So, it is one thing to "Live loyally today" as a child, but tomorrow will come where one must grow into "manhood", thereby transforming from "tadpole" to "frog", at some point in time.

The other area where one may become complacent, and referenced in the UB, as Social Reconstruction in relation to Religion, is as follows, and also warns of possible issues which may come in time, as this topic attempts to address, however, there are those who are complacent and refuse to see that there are social issues which need to be addressed.

(53:4.2) Self-assertion was the battle cry of the Lucifer rebellion. One of his chief arguments was that, if self-government was good and right for the Melchizedeks and other groups, it was equally good for all orders of intelligence. He was bold and persistent in the advocacy of the "equality of mind" and "the brotherhood of intelligence."

According to the several sources of news media available now, there exists a very wide gulf between the two camps who busy themselves explaining what's true (lies) and what's not (truth). This widening chasm only highlights that those who possess the levers of power over the "mainstream" media, are very much up to no good. Like most things that mobilize many people, the profit motive dominates, all spiritual considerations be damned.

At the core of the battle going on right now, is the disguised "service" of media professionals and self-serving politicians, claiming all men who are not included equally in society, will be, if their assertions of "tolerance" and "intelligence" (college education) are accepted, while their real motive for saying these things are for the purpose of self-enrichment, to prop themselves up in a cozy and luxurious lifestyle at the expense and suffering of the very people they claim to "serve."

I know this by its more colloquial expression, indoctrination.

Here's what the Urantia Book says about what we're in the midst of. The complete secularization of society, and the struggle to hold it at bay.

A very interesting Republican vs. Democrat slant here with TUB as a cover.

(1:2.10) As a physical controller in the material universe of universes, the First Source and Center functions in the patterns of the eternal Isle of Paradise, and through this absolute gravity center the eternal God exercises cosmic overcontrol of the physical level equally in the central universe and throughout the universe of universes. As mind, God functions in the Deity of the Infinite Spirit; as spirit, God is manifest in the person of the Eternal Son and in the persons of the divine children of the Eternal Son. This interrelation of the First Source and Center with the co-ordinate Persons and Absolutes of Paradise does not in the least preclude the direct personal action of the Universal Father throughout all creation and on all levels thereof. Through the presence of his fragmentized spirit the Creator Father maintains immediate contact with his creature children and his created universes.

I've been watching a new NatGeo mini series about Albert Einstein's life entitled "Genius." I've been wondering if you've been following along too.

The way Einstein's legacy, and the legacies of still living scientists like Hawkins for example, are being treated makes me think about what the Urantia Book says about "fetish personalities."
