Subject: Strengtheners of Good Character

Teacher: Prolotheos
Received by Valdir Soares
You are primarily responsible for who you are. Early in life, human character is
being built in (between 5 and 6 years of age); but only with maturity it is solidified.
Good and bad influences certainly count, but decisions are the major factor.
Character reflects some unique, unchangeable, indigenous personality traits, but
also shows some changeable characteristics of the Self, formed through life
decisions. Personal decisions can make a character good or bad, but good decisions
spring from good principles. Honor your good principles and they will honor you.
Lets take a look on principles that strengthen a good character.
Sincerity. Objective truth may many times be out of reach, but sincerity makes
you truthful to yourself. Sincerity, unaided by love is nothing more than a way to
throw your ego or temper upon others, regardless of the consequences. Sincerity is
to be honest, authentic, truthful with words and actions. Sincerity is a personal
moral effort towards truth. Evil is never sincere because truth is incompatible with
evil, since it springs from deceiving, error and falsehood. Sincerity can be mistaken
about content, but must be truthful about intent: goodness. Hypocrisy will damage
your character, but sincerity will make it reliable.
Fairness. Your Master said when on Urantia: You will be judged with the
measure you have judged others and Treat others like you would like to be
treated. God is our supreme example of fairness because He is no respecter of
persons. He perfectly consider all factors involved and renders a perfect judgment.
To you, in your present spiritual development, He says: treat others like you
would like to be treated. Practicing the Golden Rule strengths your character with
loving consideration of others because a good and strong character strives for
fairness in all dealings to its best knowledge.
Goodness. Love is expressed basically by goodness. Goodness is the main
strength of character, because love never causes harm. Rather, love always seeks
the the ultimate well-being of the loved ones. To make part of your character

goodness cannot be seen as an option, it must be your passion. A character built

with love refuses to consciously practice evil and insists on making good.
Goodness cannot simply be a strategic move; more than being politically correct,
it strives for being divinely good, following the paramount examples of our Creator
Sons. Goodness is, indeed, the indispensable ingredient of a good character.
Therefore, my pupil, the virtues of a strong character are also the virtues with the
Spirit Within will strengthen and grow your soul. Those are the values will remain
with you throughout your morontia and spiritual careers, even for eternity. But
equally important, they will make your life in Urantia worth to be lived, with a
clean conscience of whom strove for the best and show it to the maximum of your
ability. They will not make you perfect, only eminently sincere, fair and good -which is plenty. This is from Prolotheos, your celestial teacher. Peace to you all.
