Five Principles
Continuing our discussion on the message of the Urantia Book Let's look at its five basic principles.
Plus more discussion about Grandfanda, and a little lesson is cosmic humility.
1
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,760
Well, I feel like talking about
the revelation.
2
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,680
How are you?
Welcome to another episode of
3
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,000
the Rancho Radio podcast.
I've been reading the book for a
4
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,040
long, long time and I'm always
looking forward to the next
5
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,320
opportunity to share with you.
And I'm glad that you're here
6
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
with me.
We've got, I think will be an
7
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,960
interesting couple of topics
that we'll address.
8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:54,240
I want to wrap up my character
personality profile of Grand
9
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Fonda because the story just
gets more and more interesting.
10
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,800
And I asked you if you have
somebody in the Urantia book
11
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,519
that you think we should bring
to light on the podcast.
12
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,200
All kinds of different
personalities, individuals.
13
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,880
And one listener wrote and said
Noah was a great personality
14
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,440
that maybe we should spend some
time with.
15
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,360
So I think we might.
But I want to go over the five
16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,720
principles of the Urantia book
teachings.
17
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080
And this was spurred on by Byron
Beletzos.
18
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Byron is a great writer a got
his master's seminary.
19
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,720
He knows about the Urantia book.
He writes often great books
20
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,240
articles and he has a sub stack
running now that talks about the
21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,120
real need for Urantia book
infrastructure.
22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,400
We hope to have him on at some
point to elaborate on that and
23
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,400
what he means.
But I think what what the basis
24
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,080
is, is that we're 100 years in
to the revelation in fact.
25
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,960
And I think he's right in in
stating this.
26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:05,200
But February 11th, 2026 was the
100th anniversary of when the
27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Sadler group when the people
that would come to his home
28
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,960
there in Chicago and they the
papers started to come through,
29
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,400
meaning that the papers started
to appear all the details.
30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,880
But Needless to say, it was
about 100 years ago when the
31
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,920
ranch of Papers began to reveal
themselves, so to speak.
32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,760
And so we know from now 100
years in that it claims to be a
33
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,800
divine epical revelation.
And it was specifically intended
34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,080
to uplift by providing missing
gaps of information about our
35
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,360
prehistory and also about some
of the more spiritual
36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,840
revelations.
And I, and I asked myself when I
37
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,680
think about what what Byron is
talking about, what are the
38
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560
principles of the Urantia book?
Because most people that you
39
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,160
would talk to who have no
knowledge would be curious to
40
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,240
know what the Urantia book
teaches.
41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,680
What are the basic principles?
Every story has to be simple and
42
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,800
easy to understand if you can't
explain it rather quickly.
43
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,560
And so the Urantia book is not a
simple book.
44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,360
By no means it's it's, it's,
it's profound, but it's not
45
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,760
profound because it's simple.
When you boil everything down to
46
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520
the basics of what is it
actually teaching?
47
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,400
They're pretty simple.
And I want to share those with
48
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,160
you.
And here's what they are.
49
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,480
And then we'll get into Grand
Fonda a little bit.
50
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480
And then if there's time, we'll
talk a little bit about Noah.
51
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,880
We may have to save Noah for the
next podcast.
52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Here are my 5 principles of the
Urantia Book teaching.
53
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Now I want you to have your own
5.
54
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,120
That's my challenge to you.
I want you.
55
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,760
If you're a long time reader,
what do you think are the five
56
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,800
or six principles that The
Urantia Book is trying to convey
57
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,680
to modern man?
It all boils down to this.
58
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,240
The Urantia Book's basic
teaching.
59
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279
The thing that is at the root,
the foundational root of
60
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,800
everything it says is this.
God is real.
61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,720
God is pure spirit, but also a
personal being, the source of
62
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440
all personality in fact, and we
are his spiritual children.
63
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,160
It actually starts and ends with
that premise.
64
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,280
The universe is number 2.
The universe is inhabited and
65
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,040
administered by spiritual beings
who serve as teachers to the
66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080
various ascending mortals from
the evolutionary worlds of time
67
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,440
and space, Seraphic and others,
and the Urantia book goes into
68
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,440
great detail to explain the
logical and proactive
69
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,840
administration of creation
itself.
70
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
This is not just a vast bubble
of emptiness.
71
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200
There's actually something going
on here and the Urantia book
72
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,520
explains what that is.
I think the third principle of
73
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,000
the Urantia book is self-evident
because it dedicates almost half
74
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560
of the book to the life and
teachings of Jesus.
75
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,840
So the principles there include
the fact that Jesus was the Son
76
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,760
of man and the Son of God.
Absolutely.
77
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360
There's no higher being between
the Son and the Father.
78
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,360
And This is why Jesus says he,
he who has seen me has seen the
79
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Father.
It is not possible for the first
80
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,360
Source and center of all things
to Incarnate as material being,
81
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:52,120
but if it was possible for such
a thing to occur, it is likely
82
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,760
that we would see the Eternal
Son.
83
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,240
The Eternal Son, the second
Person of Trinity, is the
84
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
personalization of God the
Father.
85
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,720
It is now a dual relationship
completed by the Trinity of the
86
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Spirit.
That's what the Urantia book
87
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,560
teaches.
The Son represents the Father,
88
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,920
but this does not mean that man
cannot approach the Father.
89
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,800
And that would be, I suppose,
part of the the 4th is that we
90
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
have a connection, and that
connection is made possible by
91
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,920
the Spirit fragment of the
Father who dwells within us,
92
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,400
within our minds.
And the fourth principle, I
93
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,920
think, is that Jesus of Nazareth
specifically lived as one of us
94
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,200
in order to uplift all mortals
of this world, and also his life
95
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,080
here was a revelation to other
enlightened worlds, for he is
96
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,800
their creator Son too.
Jesus's teachings exemplify that
97
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,640
we are all brothers because God
is our universal Father.
98
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,720
And the Golden Rule seems to
apply as the primary mode of
99
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,400
living between all of us,
between the Spirit and dwelt,
100
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,920
mortals and beings of the realm.
And for me, the Urantia Book is
101
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,920
a new revelation of expanded
truth.
102
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,200
It provides source material of
our prehistory in order to fill
103
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,360
in the gaps of missing
knowledge.
104
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,640
And it was intended to do so.
Like previous epical
105
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,160
revelations, it was intended to
uplift humanity intellectually
106
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:50,840
as well as spiritual.
I was thinking about how they
107
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,680
explain who Grand Fonda was.
And for those who don't know,
108
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,240
he's mentioned throughout the
book, Grand Fonda is mentioned.
109
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,520
He's like the Bob Sacramento of
the Urantia book.
110
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,880
For those of you signs Seinfeld,
he's always mentioned.
111
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,640
But who was this Grand Fonda in
the days of Grand Fonda?
112
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,520
This is going back to the
beginnings of the Super universe
113
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,800
stage of the of the Grand
universe.
114
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840
So we're told in Paper 24, the
Grand Fonda is the name of a
115
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Pilgrim discoverer of Havona.
What is a Pilgrim discoverer?
116
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Well, a Pilgrim discoverer is an
ascended one time mortal who has
117
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,520
traversed the entire spectrum
from a mortal of the realm to an
118
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,120
enlightened descendant
personality.
119
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:41,720
And it is that stage when they
reach the physical central
120
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,680
universe of Havona that they
become a Pilgrim discoverer.
121
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,840
And what what's interesting is
it, where did he come from?
122
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Where did this Pilgrim discover,
find it?
123
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
What was his first home?
And I'm sure his name wasn't
124
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,560
Grant Fonda either.
Maybe it was Sid or something.
125
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,640
And he wasn't a special person
by any reference that they don't
126
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,880
give any disclosure to the name
of the world that he came from.
127
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
They don't talk about his life
on Earth.
128
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Maybe he was just a normal
person with spiritual with great
129
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,160
spiritual grasp.
We are told he is from Planet
130
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,720
341 of System 84 in
constellation 62 of Local
131
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Universe 1131 situated in Super
universe #1.
132
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,200
They do state the Grand Fonda is
the acting head of the core of
133
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
the Finality.
And for those who are familiar
134
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,360
with the Urantia book, we know
that the Core of the Finality is
135
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,520
all of our destiny.
It is the exclusive group of
136
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,560
ascenders who have traversed the
range of experiential living,
137
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,680
starting as a human on a world
of time and space to the
138
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,080
ultimate embrace of God the
Father on Paradise.
139
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,520
So Grand Fonda is the head of
that group.
140
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,520
Why?
Well, because he was the first
141
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,720
one, it was the first one to
achieve and be admitted to this,
142
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,920
this core that had been
developed.
143
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,160
They were waiting for ascendant
human beings to finally succeed
144
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,160
in making the trek.
So in reference to to Grand
145
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,560
Fonda's origins, we can draw the
comparisons with even our own
146
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,240
experience.
Because just as Grand Fonda came
147
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,360
from planet 341, we live on
planet six O 6 of the system of
148
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,400
our worlds.
Grand Fonda's planet is in
149
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,520
system 84.
Our system is #24 Jerusalem, the
150
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,520
capital sphere.
Grand Fonda's system makes a
151
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,880
part of the constellation of
#62.
152
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,720
Our constellation is the 70th
the capital of it Edensia of
153
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Norlitiadek or some call it
Norlitiadek or Norlitiadek.
154
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,120
It is a constellation of 100
systems and Grand Fond is
155
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,800
constellation #62 is in the
local universe and that local
156
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,960
universe is 11131.
In our case, Nevadon is our
157
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,360
local universe and its number is
84 and our super universe is the
158
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,400
7th super universe.
Grand Fonda was from Super
159
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,200
universe #1 and for the curious,
the actual number of our planet
160
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:48,600
in the Grand Universe is five
trillion, 342,482,337,666.
161
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,160
All right, So what we're told is
that the present Grand Universe
162
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,040
will eventually contain 7
trillion evolutionary worlds of
163
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,240
time and space.
That is the current plan.
164
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,080
And when that stage comes, when
all of those worlds attain the
165
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,680
era or the age of Light and
life, that is when the emergence
166
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:12,400
and the completeness of the
Supreme Being occurs.
167
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,720
So based on that number, that
would mean that we're about 70%
168
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,840
there.
So that tells you two things.
169
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,960
One, we don't have as much to
go, and two, it means it was a
170
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,160
whole lot of history that came
before us.
171
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,680
And so in this respect, Grand
Fondas Ascension was the first
172
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:37,800
to be completed a long time ago
in a Galaxy far, far away.
173
00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:47,810
This has been the Urantia Radio
podcast with your host, Jim
174
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,730
Watkins.

00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,760
Well, I feel like talking about
the revelation.
2
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,680
How are you?
Welcome to another episode of
3
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,000
the Rancho Radio podcast.
I've been reading the book for a
4
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,040
long, long time and I'm always
looking forward to the next
5
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,320
opportunity to share with you.
And I'm glad that you're here
6
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
with me.
We've got, I think will be an
7
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,960
interesting couple of topics
that we'll address.
8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:54,240
I want to wrap up my character
personality profile of Grand
9
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,200
Fonda because the story just
gets more and more interesting.
10
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,800
And I asked you if you have
somebody in the Urantia book
11
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,519
that you think we should bring
to light on the podcast.
12
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,200
All kinds of different
personalities, individuals.
13
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,880
And one listener wrote and said
Noah was a great personality
14
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,440
that maybe we should spend some
time with.
15
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,360
So I think we might.
But I want to go over the five
16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,720
principles of the Urantia book
teachings.
17
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080
And this was spurred on by Byron
Beletzos.
18
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,560
Byron is a great writer a got
his master's seminary.
19
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,720
He knows about the Urantia book.
He writes often great books
20
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,240
articles and he has a sub stack
running now that talks about the
21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,120
real need for Urantia book
infrastructure.
22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,400
We hope to have him on at some
point to elaborate on that and
23
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,400
what he means.
But I think what what the basis
24
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,080
is, is that we're 100 years in
to the revelation in fact.
25
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,960
And I think he's right in in
stating this.
26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:05,200
But February 11th, 2026 was the
100th anniversary of when the
27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Sadler group when the people
that would come to his home
28
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,960
there in Chicago and they the
papers started to come through,
29
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,400
meaning that the papers started
to appear all the details.
30
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,880
But Needless to say, it was
about 100 years ago when the
31
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,920
ranch of Papers began to reveal
themselves, so to speak.
32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,760
And so we know from now 100
years in that it claims to be a
33
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,800
divine epical revelation.
And it was specifically intended
34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,080
to uplift by providing missing
gaps of information about our
35
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,360
prehistory and also about some
of the more spiritual
36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,840
revelations.
And I, and I asked myself when I
37
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,680
think about what what Byron is
talking about, what are the
38
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560
principles of the Urantia book?
Because most people that you
39
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,160
would talk to who have no
knowledge would be curious to
40
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,240
know what the Urantia book
teaches.
41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,680
What are the basic principles?
Every story has to be simple and
42
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,800
easy to understand if you can't
explain it rather quickly.
43
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,560
And so the Urantia book is not a
simple book.
44
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,360
By no means it's it's, it's,
it's profound, but it's not
45
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,760
profound because it's simple.
When you boil everything down to
46
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520
the basics of what is it
actually teaching?
47
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,400
They're pretty simple.
And I want to share those with
48
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,160
you.
And here's what they are.
49
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,480
And then we'll get into Grand
Fonda a little bit.
50
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480
And then if there's time, we'll
talk a little bit about Noah.
51
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,880
We may have to save Noah for the
next podcast.
52
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Here are my 5 principles of the
Urantia Book teaching.
53
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Now I want you to have your own
5.
54
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,120
That's my challenge to you.
I want you.
55
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,760
If you're a long time reader,
what do you think are the five
56
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,800
or six principles that The
Urantia Book is trying to convey
57
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,680
to modern man?
It all boils down to this.
58
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,240
The Urantia Book's basic
teaching.
59
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279
The thing that is at the root,
the foundational root of
60
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,800
everything it says is this.
God is real.
61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,720
God is pure spirit, but also a
personal being, the source of
62
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440
all personality in fact, and we
are his spiritual children.
63
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,160
It actually starts and ends with
that premise.
64
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,280
The universe is number 2.
The universe is inhabited and
65
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,040
administered by spiritual beings
who serve as teachers to the
66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080
various ascending mortals from
the evolutionary worlds of time
67
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,440
and space, Seraphic and others,
and the Urantia book goes into
68
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,440
great detail to explain the
logical and proactive
69
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,840
administration of creation
itself.
70
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
This is not just a vast bubble
of emptiness.
71
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,200
There's actually something going
on here and the Urantia book
72
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,520
explains what that is.
I think the third principle of
73
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,000
the Urantia book is self-evident
because it dedicates almost half
74
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,560
of the book to the life and
teachings of Jesus.
75
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,840
So the principles there include
the fact that Jesus was the Son
76
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:30,760
of man and the Son of God.
Absolutely.
77
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360
There's no higher being between
the Son and the Father.
78
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,360
And This is why Jesus says he,
he who has seen me has seen the
79
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160
Father.
It is not possible for the first
80
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,360
Source and center of all things
to Incarnate as material being,
81
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:52,120
but if it was possible for such
a thing to occur, it is likely
82
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,760
that we would see the Eternal
Son.
83
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,240
The Eternal Son, the second
Person of Trinity, is the
84
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
personalization of God the
Father.
85
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,720
It is now a dual relationship
completed by the Trinity of the
86
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Spirit.
That's what the Urantia book
87
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,560
teaches.
The Son represents the Father,
88
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,920
but this does not mean that man
cannot approach the Father.
89
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,800
And that would be, I suppose,
part of the the 4th is that we
90
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
have a connection, and that
connection is made possible by
91
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,920
the Spirit fragment of the
Father who dwells within us,
92
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,400
within our minds.
And the fourth principle, I
93
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,920
think, is that Jesus of Nazareth
specifically lived as one of us
94
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,200
in order to uplift all mortals
of this world, and also his life
95
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,080
here was a revelation to other
enlightened worlds, for he is
96
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,800
their creator Son too.
Jesus's teachings exemplify that
97
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,640
we are all brothers because God
is our universal Father.
98
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,720
And the Golden Rule seems to
apply as the primary mode of
99
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,400
living between all of us,
between the Spirit and dwelt,
100
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,920
mortals and beings of the realm.
And for me, the Urantia Book is
101
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,920
a new revelation of expanded
truth.
102
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,200
It provides source material of
our prehistory in order to fill
103
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,360
in the gaps of missing
knowledge.
104
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,640
And it was intended to do so.
Like previous epical
105
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,160
revelations, it was intended to
uplift humanity intellectually
106
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:50,840
as well as spiritual.
I was thinking about how they
107
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,680
explain who Grand Fonda was.
And for those who don't know,
108
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,240
he's mentioned throughout the
book, Grand Fonda is mentioned.
109
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,520
He's like the Bob Sacramento of
the Urantia book.
110
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,880
For those of you signs Seinfeld,
he's always mentioned.
111
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,640
But who was this Grand Fonda in
the days of Grand Fonda?
112
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,520
This is going back to the
beginnings of the Super universe
113
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,800
stage of the of the Grand
universe.
114
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840
So we're told in Paper 24, the
Grand Fonda is the name of a
115
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Pilgrim discoverer of Havona.
What is a Pilgrim discoverer?
116
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Well, a Pilgrim discoverer is an
ascended one time mortal who has
117
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,520
traversed the entire spectrum
from a mortal of the realm to an
118
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,120
enlightened descendant
personality.
119
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:41,720
And it is that stage when they
reach the physical central
120
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,680
universe of Havona that they
become a Pilgrim discoverer.
121
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,840
And what what's interesting is
it, where did he come from?
122
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Where did this Pilgrim discover,
find it?
123
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
What was his first home?
And I'm sure his name wasn't
124
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,560
Grant Fonda either.
Maybe it was Sid or something.
125
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,640
And he wasn't a special person
by any reference that they don't
126
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,880
give any disclosure to the name
of the world that he came from.
127
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
They don't talk about his life
on Earth.
128
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Maybe he was just a normal
person with spiritual with great
129
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,160
spiritual grasp.
We are told he is from Planet
130
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,720
341 of System 84 in
constellation 62 of Local
131
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Universe 1131 situated in Super
universe #1.
132
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,200
They do state the Grand Fonda is
the acting head of the core of
133
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,160
the Finality.
And for those who are familiar
134
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,360
with the Urantia book, we know
that the Core of the Finality is
135
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,520
all of our destiny.
It is the exclusive group of
136
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,560
ascenders who have traversed the
range of experiential living,
137
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,680
starting as a human on a world
of time and space to the
138
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,080
ultimate embrace of God the
Father on Paradise.
139
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,520
So Grand Fonda is the head of
that group.
140
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,520
Why?
Well, because he was the first
141
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,720
one, it was the first one to
achieve and be admitted to this,
142
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,920
this core that had been
developed.
143
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,160
They were waiting for ascendant
human beings to finally succeed
144
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,160
in making the trek.
So in reference to to Grand
145
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,560
Fonda's origins, we can draw the
comparisons with even our own
146
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,240
experience.
Because just as Grand Fonda came
147
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,360
from planet 341, we live on
planet six O 6 of the system of
148
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,400
our worlds.
Grand Fonda's planet is in
149
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,520
system 84.
Our system is #24 Jerusalem, the
150
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,520
capital sphere.
Grand Fonda's system makes a
151
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,880
part of the constellation of
#62.
152
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,720
Our constellation is the 70th
the capital of it Edensia of
153
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Norlitiadek or some call it
Norlitiadek or Norlitiadek.
154
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,120
It is a constellation of 100
systems and Grand Fond is
155
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,800
constellation #62 is in the
local universe and that local
156
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,960
universe is 11131.
In our case, Nevadon is our
157
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,360
local universe and its number is
84 and our super universe is the
158
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,400
7th super universe.
Grand Fonda was from Super
159
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,200
universe #1 and for the curious,
the actual number of our planet
160
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:48,600
in the Grand Universe is five
trillion, 342,482,337,666.
161
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,160
All right, So what we're told is
that the present Grand Universe
162
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,040
will eventually contain 7
trillion evolutionary worlds of
163
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,240
time and space.
That is the current plan.
164
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,080
And when that stage comes, when
all of those worlds attain the
165
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,680
era or the age of Light and
life, that is when the emergence
166
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:12,400
and the completeness of the
Supreme Being occurs.
167
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,720
So based on that number, that
would mean that we're about 70%
168
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,840
there.
So that tells you two things.
169
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,960
One, we don't have as much to
go, and two, it means it was a
170
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,160
whole lot of history that came
before us.
171
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,680
And so in this respect, Grand
Fondas Ascension was the first
172
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:37,800
to be completed a long time ago
in a Galaxy far, far away.
