mistakes

156:5.8Do not be­come dis­cour­aged by the dis­cov­ery that you are hu­man. Hu­man na­ture may tend to­ward evil, but it is not in­her­ently sin­ful. Be not down­cast by your fail­ure wholly to for­get some of your re­gret­table ex­pe­ri­ences. The mis­takes which you fail to for­get in time will be for­got­ten in eter­nity. Lighten your bur­dens of soul by speed­ily ac­quir­ing a long-dis­tance view of your des­tiny, a uni­verse ex­pan­sion of your ca­reer.

2:1.2“There is but one God, the in­fi­nite Fa­ther, who is also a faith­ful Cre­ator.” “The di­vine Cre­ator is also the Uni­ver­sal Dis­poser, the source and des­tiny of souls. He is the Su­preme Soul, the Pri­mal Mind, and the Un­lim­ited Spirit of all cre­ation.” “The great Con­trol­ler makes no mis­takes. He is re­splen­dent in majesty and glory.” “The Cre­ator God is wholly de­void of fear and en­mity. He is im­mor­tal, eter­nal, self-ex­is­tent, di­vine, and boun­ti­ful.” “How pure and beau­ti­ful, how deep and un­fath­omable is the su­per­nal An­ces­tor of all things!” “The In­fi­nite is most ex­cel­lent in that he im­parts him­self to men. He is the be­gin­ning and the end, the Fa­ther of ev­ery good and per­fect pur­pose.” “With God all things are pos­si­ble; the eter­nal Cre­ator is the cause of causes.”

4:3.5The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther never does any­thing that causes sub­se­quent sor­row or re­gret, but the will crea­tures of the plan­ning and mak­ing of his Cre­ator per­son­al­i­ties in the out­ly­ing uni­verses, by their un­for­tu­nate choos­ing, some­times oc­ca­sion emo­tions of di­vine sor­row in the per­son­al­i­ties of their Cre­ator par­ents. But though the Fa­ther nei­ther makes mis­takes, har­bors re­grets, nor ex­pe­ri­ences sor­rows, he is a be­ing with a fa­ther’s af­fec­tion, and his heart is un­doubt­edly grieved when his chil­dren fail to at­tain the spir­i­tual lev­els they are ca­pa­ble of reach­ing with the as­sis­tance which has been so freely pro­vided by the spir­i­tual-at­tain­ment plans and the mor­tal-as­cen­sion poli­cies of the uni­verses.

112:5.22The Thought Ad­juster will re­call and re­hearse for you only those mem­o­ries and ex­pe­ri­ences which are a part of, and es­sen­tial to, your uni­verse ca­reer. If the Ad­juster has been a part­ner in the evo­lu­tion of aught in the hu­man mind, then will these worth-while ex­pe­ri­ences sur­vive in the eter­nal con­scious­ness of the Ad­juster. But much of your past life and its mem­o­ries, hav­ing nei­ther spir­i­tual mean­ing nor mor­ontia value, will per­ish with the ma­te­rial brain; much of ma­te­rial ex­pe­ri­ence will pass away as one­time scaf­fold­ing which, hav­ing bridged you over to the mor­ontia level, no longer serves a pur­pose in the uni­verse. But per­son­al­ity and the re­la­tion­ships be­tween per­son­al­i­ties are never scaf­fold­ing; mor­tal mem­ory of per­son­al­ity re­la­tion­ships has cos­mic value and will per­sist. On the man­sion worlds you will know and be known, and more, you will re­mem­ber, and be re­mem­bered by, your one­time as­so­ciates in the short but in­trigu­ing life on Uran­tia.
