THE BOOK OF THE INDWELLING LIGHT — BOOK I

Of the Soul and Its Forming

(Inspired by The Urantia Book)

1:1 The soul is not given complete at birth, nor placed whole within the child of time.
1:2 The soul is formed in the living hours, shaped by choice and sealed by meaning.
1:3 What is chosen in truth is preserved; what is lived in goodness endures.
1:4 Memory passes, but value remains; image fades, but meaning is kept.
1:5 Thus is the soul wrought—by will responding to higher call.

Closing line for Blogger:

The soul is not inherited. It is built.
