Inside The Urantia Book

1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Hey, thanks for stopping by the
a Rancher Radio podcast.

2
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:05,700
It is good to have you.
And we're going to talk about

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,700
some what I think are some
exciting news regarding the

4
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:12,500
podcast.
Also, it had the weekend to

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,500
thoroughly enjoy a piece of the
Urantia book and I want to share

6
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:22,100
with you some of what my
takeaway was on paper 60, which

7
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:23,800
talks about the beginnings of
Earth.

8
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,300
Also, February 11th.
Mark it on your calendar.

9
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,700
There's going to be a huge Zoom
event.

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,900
People who read and study and
share in the Urantia book at the

11
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:37,600
fellowship as well as the
foundation are celebrating 100

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,300
years.
Of the revelation.

13
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,700
And if you go to my website,
your answer, radio dotnet look

14
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,600
on the right side and you'll see
an announcement about that very

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000
event and click away and get
more information on how you can

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,200
be a part of it too and will
continue with your Ranch Radio

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,700
podcast right here.
All right, I want to talk about

18
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:03,900
something that has to do with
the Rancho book and what we've

19
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,600
been calling it and I want to
change the name of it and I want

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,300
to slightly change the direction
of it because I think the

21
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:14,600
Urantia book radio concept,
which was born out of this idea

22
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:19,800
of broadcasting to the world.
Well as I've grown and as I

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:26,300
become more What's the word
aware of the magnificence of the

24
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:31,400
Rancho book?
I also realize that far too many

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,100
people will just simply at this
point in our time.

26
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:39,200
Now they just won't be able to,
they're not going to be able to

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,300
grasp, unless they have the
courage and the desire to reach

28
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:47,900
out above their comfort level.
And take a serious look at what

29
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,100
the Rancho book has to say.
Every time I read it, and And it

30
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,700
doesn't matter how long I read
it.

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,500
I am just more and more
convinced for example over the

32
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,200
weekend, I spent a great deal of
time reading about the early

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,100
evolution of of our world from
the time.

34
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:11,400
When life first appeared, almost
600 million years ago all the

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,000
way down to the appearance of
man himself and the Rancho

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,100
authors and incidentally the
author of the first paper and

37
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:23,500
papers 60.
Is a is a Resident Life carrier

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,700
who helped initiate life.
So think about that for a

39
00:02:27,708 --> 00:02:32,900
moment, you have a personality
being who has been mandated by

40
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:38,600
Gabriel to write or provide a
narrative to the beginnings of

41
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Earth.
And it just so happens that the

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,700
person that they That they
assign.

43
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:48,900
This task 2 is actually a life
carrier, no longer resident on

44
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,600
Urantia.
By the way, no longer here on

45
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200
our world and his job was
complete.

46
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:00,500
Once the appearance of will
creatures came about the

47
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:04,700
beginnings of the first humans,
so just that nugget of

48
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:09,100
information alone.
I would say 95% of the world

49
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:12,000
would not know what to do with
that piece of information.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,700
It takes a long time to get to
the point where you understand

51
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:19,900
the gravity of the situation.
Now, the implication of that

52
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:25,700
story of a life carrier who can
narrate is easily on display.

53
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:30,100
Anybody can read it.
And you would be absolutely

54
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:35,200
convinced after reading it that
whoever wrote it had some hand

55
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600
in it.
You would just that kind of

56
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,100
Truth would just dump.
You know, you can read and

57
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:44,400
assess the quality of something
that someone does and, you know,

58
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,900
instinctively on a gut guttural
level.

59
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:52,600
But that person has Authority.
That person is telling you

60
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,600
something that has a great Ring
Of Truth.

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,300
And I would dare say that any
scientist worth his salt would

62
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,700
be better for it.
If they would open up the Rancho

63
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:08,100
book and read from paper 60, And
learn what you can about the way

64
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,900
they describe the geological
history book, and the

65
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:15,600
inundations, and the rising, and
the falling of the continents

66
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,300
and the successive waves of
flooding, worldwide, flooding

67
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,400
and how all that transpired
over.

68
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:26,200
Well, literally 600 million
years and they take us through

69
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,400
every stage of life when it
first appears, how it evolves,

70
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,200
how it evolves out of the ocean,
What's happening in our

71
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,800
atmosphere during these periods
of time?

72
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,300
It steps of through the six
glacial periods that occurred

73
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:47,000
over a, I guess, it was about a
six million Pier, 6 million,

74
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:52,200
maybe 10 million a year stretch.
It talks about the beginning of

75
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,800
plants and animals, and what the
Earth was like back, then it

76
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,400
talks about Shale and coal
deposits, and it talks about how

77
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,400
energy and materials, the actual
mass that Makes up the Earth has

78
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,300
been distributed and all of this
doesn't just come out of the

79
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,300
whim of a man with a fanciful
imagination.

80
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:16,300
I would also say or assert that
every statement made regarding

81
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:20,000
the geological history book in
the Urantia book would be proven

82
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,800
correct if someone would have
the tenacity and The Bravery to

83
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,200
prove it.
So even if you can't buy into a

84
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,400
life carrier concept, the
concept of a life carrier, son,

85
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:40,200
whose job it is is to initiate
and come up with the genetic

86
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800
material needed to make life as
it is today.

87
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,500
If you can't handle that kind of
idea, you can at least learn

88
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:51,600
something about the history of
humanity, that might teach you a

89
00:05:51,608 --> 00:05:53,400
thing or two about how things
work.

90
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,800
So Evolution and religion are
not mutually exclusive, but most

91
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,700
of the world can't fathom one,
without the other, they either

92
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:11,400
believe 100% in scientism, that
everything is natural causation.

93
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,600
Which is what the scientists
research today.

94
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,300
Which is a secular approach to
viewing life.

95
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Because what you're basically
saying is that there was no

96
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,100
intent, everything just happens.
There's no intent behind it.

97
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:29,100
There's no motivation.
There's no product.

98
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,600
There's no process.
There's no plan.

99
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:36,200
And yet everything in nature,
tells us that this is an

100
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:42,200
intelligent operation.
So having said that getting back

101
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,300
to my first point the your
Rancher Radio podcast was more

102
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,600
or less designed to bring the
Urantia book to the general

103
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,000
public for people who might be
driving by looking for truth and

104
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,600
they might be attracted to the
concepts.

105
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,300
But I can tell by even though
I'm extremely thrilled with the

106
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:09,300
audience and how it's grown over
the past few years, I'm nowhere

107
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:13,900
near where I think I should be.
I think we should have 10,000.

108
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,800
Maybe 50,000 people around the
world, who would be excited

109
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,000
enough about a new revelation
such as the Rancher book, where

110
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,500
they would, they would just
absolutely love.

111
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,000
You know this this kind of a
podcast and it does well don't

112
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
get me wrong.
The more work I put into it, the

113
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,500
more listeners we get I get
great feedback all the time and

114
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:40,800
I'm not suggesting that I would
terminate that program at all.

115
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,600
In fact, what I'd like to do is
focus it, what I'd like to do is

116
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,500
bring Focus to it and really get
into the nuts and bolts of what

117
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:50,800
makes this book so damn.
Fantastic.

118
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,900
And in order to do so the
listeners to this podcast, have

119
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,700
to know something about the
Rancher book.

120
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,700
You know, so there are in my
opinion.

121
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:03,200
There are people who've been
reading it.

122
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Initially people who read it a
lot and have read a lot for a

123
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,700
long time, or people have read
about it and maybe it just some

124
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:17,100
point they just stopped reading
and, you know, they enjoy it,

125
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,700
but they don't really, you know,
their whole life isn't about it.

126
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,100
Now I happen to be in the second
category which is that I read it

127
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,200
all the time and I think it's
extremely important to the

128
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,900
progress of humanity.
And I will say that if I hadn't

129
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,200
read the Rancho book, I don't
know what kind of a person I

130
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,000
would be today.
Because the Urantia book opens

131
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400
the door reality and expands
Beyond just this Mortal plan and

132
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,900
of time and space.
And I think it presents for the

133
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:52,500
first time.
A comprehensive conceptual

134
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:56,200
understanding of the universe as
being something that is, in

135
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,500
fact, organized by a deity, a
deity, the First Source and

136
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:06,000
Center.
This is the god of personality,

137
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
the god of love, the god of
Mercy, the god of the sun, the

138
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,800
god, of the spirit, I believe
all of that.

139
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,700
And I think that's your your You
want a ticket to continue that

140
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:21,200
ride?
Then you have to at least be

141
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,400
interested in those those those
things.

142
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:27,700
And I'm not saying it's a
qualitative statement, it's not

143
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:30,800
a litmus test that you have to
read the Rancho book in order to

144
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,600
progress.
But what I'm saying is in your

145
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,000
own mortal life here and now,
you can progress tremendously

146
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:44,000
just in the material Realm by
improving your conceptual ideas

147
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,800
of what makes up reality.
And everybody has their own

148
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,500
concept of what they think life
is, and the ranch a book.

149
00:09:54,900 --> 00:10:00,100
Just says it as it is that we
are, in fact, part of a major

150
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,800
plan, we are part of something
that is incredible.

151
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
And I think that, that would
change the quality of thinking

152
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:12,100
among people, you say, well, my
wife and I talked about this.

153
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,900
When we watch the news, you
know, how can people be so evil?

154
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,700
Well, you know a lot of it has
to do with the people's

155
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:22,400
misunderstanding.
They don't know what there is.

156
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,000
You know, a lot of people that
fall from religion, they don't

157
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,800
know.
They they're not given good

158
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,900
answers.
Your answer book gives good

159
00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:35,700
answers.
But you have to be looking and

160
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,600
you have to be open to the idea
that it's possible.

161
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,200
No believing that Jesus is a
stole son.

162
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,300
Takes faith.
But at least in the Rancho book,

163
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:48,600
you can read his entire life and
then make the determination

164
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,800
based on that.
And I suppose you can get that

165
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,900
through scripture F, absolutely.
I mean, people have been going

166
00:10:57,900 --> 00:11:00,200
to scripture since scripture
started.

167
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,300
The truth of Jesus are so
profound and so contagious that

168
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,600
even in a limited and morsel
amount.

169
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,400
Look how much he's done for this
world.

170
00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:18,100
But so the direction I want to
take is just really just a name

171
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,200
change.
I just want to call it inside

172
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,200
the ranch a book or inside the,
you be the podcast.

173
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:31,000
The term radio is not truly
served in this medium because

174
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,500
it's not a radio and we're not
on the radio, we used to be, we

175
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:37,600
used to have a radio feed that
was continuous.

176
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:41,000
And you know, I may even very
well bring that back because it

177
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,300
was just the narration of the
Rancho book itself.

178
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,500
So you truly could call it the
ranch of AG radio where it just

179
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:50,900
plays the audio.
But I find the audio of the

180
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:54,500
original audio of the Urantia
book sort of lacks.

181
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,500
It's not Full enough and I am in
no position to take the entire

182
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:04,400
book and turned it into audio.
There's no reason for me to do

183
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,100
that it would be a duplicitous
task.

184
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:10,100
Someone else has already done it
and I don't want to take their

185
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:14,000
audio and feed it on my program
because that wouldn't be right

186
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,700
to them.
They have their own ways to

187
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:18,900
Urantia book.
The Fellowship, they all have

188
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:23,200
their own ways of you being able
to listen to the audio narration

189
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400
of the Rancho book.
So that's not something that

190
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,900
that I need to do.
But what I want to do is delve

191
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:32,200
into the subject matter and
analyze it and talk about it.

192
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,100
That's why I think the title
inside the UB or inside the

193
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:41,500
Rancho book is a much more
accurate description of what the

194
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:43,900
podcast is all about, but I'm
going to leave.

195
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:47,000
Leave it to you.
And I want to, I want to just

196
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:51,000
stop here and let you mull it
over and I know some of my

197
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,600
wonderful faithful listeners
will give me their opinion, what

198
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,700
they think.
And I hope that you do also to

199
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:01,900
start this off in the next
Edition.

200
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,000
I want to delve into some of my
favorite radio passages from

201
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:10,500
each of the four parts of the
book with the that I think are

202
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:13,300
just absolutely wonderful.
So we'll do that next time up.

203
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,300
Plus we'll have some guests
stopping by as well.

204
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,700
In the meantime, if you want to
reach out to me, the email

205
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:23,900
address is your answer book
radio at gmail.com, so I may

206
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:27,200
have to change that.
Your answer book radio at

207
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,300
gmail.com is still active.
I'll keep it active, but I want

208
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:35,100
to change the name of the
podcast to inside the UB or

209
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:39,100
inside inside the ranch a book.
And I want to get your opinion

210
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,700
on that.
So give me your opinion.

211
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,500
And until next time, thanks for
stopping by and God bless.
