Dear readers of the Link, dear Urantians, the editorial team of the Link hopes that the end of year 2015 holidays went well and that good resolutions for the beginning of the year have been made, such as actively participating in your Link by sending your thoughts and/or your articles related to your study of the Urantia Book.
In the attempt to understand the distinction that can be made between the Supreme Being, God the Supreme and the Almighty Supreme, does the Supreme Being have one personality or several? The three denominations certainly have only one and the same personality. The diversity probably comes from the level of their manifestation, paragraph 5 of the introduction to booklet 116 is evocative of this positioning.
This is the case with all of Divine creation, which taken separately, without a vision of synthesis of the whole, can appear disparate, anachronistic and lacking in logic. Although we are incapable of having a clear and precise vision of this totality, spiritual clairvoyance, through its fleeting flashes of lucidity, allows us to envisage certain designs of our Creator.

In The Urantia Book we read: “It is the presence of the seven adjutant mind-spirits on the primitive worlds which conditions the course of organic evolution; this explains why evolution is premeditated and not accidental” ( UB 36:5.1 ).
Everything is said, the living is connected to a kind of “cloud” which guides and conditions it. From trilobites to mammals, the program was written…
Today, as yesterday, humanity is connected to the adjutant circuits which interact with the mind.

Before telling this story, I remember the melody and lyrics of a beautiful Sevillian song called El Amigo. Every time a friend leaves, he leaves behind a lot of sadness and emptiness. So, when you are near him in his last hours, you would like to hold on to him a little longer, just a little while. The song says in Spanish: “Don’t go yet, wait until my guitar cries as it says goodbye.”
But I could not keep my friend Pierrot on land. He was eleven years older than me. I remember that he took me for walks when I was a child and taught me to swim. Although he was often absent during my adolescence, our friendship developed in adulthood until death separated us. I can say without lying that I knew all the important events of his life. Modesty prevented me for a long time from recounting his last hours. After some hesitation, I am telling them today, counting on your discretion not to reveal this to anyone!

Dear French-speaking readers, for the twentieth anniversary of our association, the AFLUB office wishes to compile the main events that have made its history in order to reconstruct the chronology as faithfully as possible and present them in a synthetic manner following a historical methodology.
To do this we need your testimonies, your documents, your photos and more generally any document presenting content or historical value.
When is personality functional?
INTRODUCTION
We are not going to try to define personality, but rather to understand when and how we can use personality on this planet. Before doing so we must make two preliminary remarks.
You, heart of my body, Flame
Who weaves my thoughts with your Truth
To bind me to you by building my Soul
You thus offer me all of Eternity.
You, center of my life, divine radiance
Who plots with my Destiny
To strengthen me along the way
Your only desire is to see us engaged.

Organized by “The Blue Club” Budapest — September 15 - September 18, 2016
This meeting is organized by Le Blue Club, an association of European readers who have given several conferences mainly in Germany.
It will be held at the Novotel Budapest Central Hotel, Rakoczi ut 43-45, BudAPEST 1088
In the new edition of the Link, we invite you to explore some concepts from the Urantia Book in an interactive way, somewhat like a study group. Questions on a given theme will be asked with a list of readings suggested to answer them.
These questions will also be posted on the forum and those who wish will be able to exchange their points of view. For a first attempt we have chosen the following theme which will be spread over four issues of the Link.
The Inevitable Injunction
Introduction to the third period
During the second period we found that God has equipped us with everything we need to do his divine will, a mind, the “arena of choice” which provides us with consciousness; a unique personality with free will which gives us awareness of ourselves and others; a physical body as the vehicle of our personality; a Thought Adjuster bringing with it a perfect pattern of spiritual career to inspire and guide us to the Universal Father; and finally our soul, the joint creation of our material mind and our Thought Adjuster which grows as we do the will of God and eventually merges with our Thought Adjuster.

1. Course Title: Evolutionary Humanoid Life.
Course Level: Intermediate.
Lectures: Sections of ascicles 34, 36, 42, 49, 52 and 65.
Course Description:
In this course we will see together how humanoid life appears on evolutionary planets, the types of life possible, who creates it and who is responsible for implanting it and how does it take place? We will also study the different planetary epochs traveled by all evolutionary mortals and we will complete this course with an overview of the control of evolution that celestial beings exercise on these worlds. The particular case of Urantia will eventually be the subject of another study.
