Communism was indispensable as scaffolding in the growth of primitive society, but it gave way to the evolution of a higher social order because it ran counter to human proclivities for activity, ambition, industry, and excellence. [1] All conceptual frameworks are necessary for rational thought, yet inherently flawed, serving as scaffolding for expanding cosmic understanding. [2] The events of time are but transient scaffolding, bridging over to the promised land of spiritual reality and supernal existence. [3] Evolution inexorably obliterates the scaffolding of the God concept, as it guides mankind towards a more advanced comprehension of Deity. [4]
Evolutionary religion creates and destroys, slowly advancing through generation epochs and agelong cycles, with progress hindered by fear of sorcery, but ultimately uplifted by the pressure of advancing mores and epochal revelation. [5]
Life Carriers' efforts on Urantia resulted in the production of many apparently useless forms of transition life, but the gains justify the modifications to standard life designs in order to manifest early will in the evolutionary process. [6]
The evolution of government is hindered by the inertia-resistance of previous stages, making it difficult to progress from family to global sovereignty. [7]
All mortal concepts of reality are based on the assumption of the actuality of human personality; all concepts of superhuman realities are based on the experience of the human personality with and in the cosmic realities of certain associated spiritual entities and divine personalities, for relationships between persons are never scaffolding - they are the eternal goal of universe ascension. [8] Forms of knowledge are valuable only until the lessons are learned, like a shell of no worth after a chick is hatched. [9]
