Our Sister Sphere
In this episode, we look at what life is like on our sister sphere, a world very similar to our own as described in full detail in Paper 72 from the Urantia Book.
The Urantia Book informs us special permission was required by the Melchizedek who sponsored Paper 72 depicting the living conditions and standards of a race of humans who constitute a continental nation comprised of 140 million inhabitants on a “near-distant” world.
If we were given this information to achieve societal advancement, to better our conditions and to improve our estate, then perhaps we should take a deeper look at how our sister sphere iscoming along, since it appears we are not so different, even from our galactic cousins who also inhabit God’s wonderful creation.
1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,920
Well, I hope you.
Have a nice beverage and that
2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,240
you are comfortable.
Where you are.
3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,480
As we Nestle in, as I'm doing
now, and we're going to have a.
4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,600
Really great show.
And I always assume that new
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640
people are tuning in because,
well, the numbers tell me that
6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,080
new people are tuning in.
Every week we're.
7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,320
Picking up new listeners to the
Rancho Radio podcast I Am.
8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Of course, your host.
Long time reader.
9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,000
I just realized the other day
that I first picked up the book.
10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,040
In 1983, so that puts me at 42.
Years.
11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,560
Of reading and studying and
thinking about the revelation.
12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,800
And I never look back.
And I I'm always.
13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,960
Grateful that people.
TuneIn and explore the
14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,600
revelation I knew I have a a
page which you may be aware of
15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,040
and it's.
Called.
16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,160
Urantiaradio.org.
We have our podcast which.
17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Is on the Spotify network and
then on iheart and all the
18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,080
different podcast platforms.
But in addition to all that, we
19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080
have your rancherradio.org and
it.
20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Sort of showcases.
All of the recent updates and
21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,080
it's anyway.
It's.
22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,880
It's also has a the.
Your Rancher Radio live stream
23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,960
which we just added that
component, so check it out when
24
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:19,040
you get a chance.
You can listen 24 hours a day on
25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360
the Rancher Radio station.
Just look for the.
26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Live stream thing at the top of
the menu and then if you want to
27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,000
listen to.
Podcasts, obviously you're.
28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,960
Doing that now.
So anyway, we're going to talk.
29
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,920
About life.
And what it's like on another
30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,080
world.
And it's kind of boggling, mind
31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,680
boggling to me.
That here we have.
32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,320
The Urantia book which has been
around for 100 years and you
33
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,560
would think that.
A chapter dedicated to life.
34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,560
On Another World would at least
get some attention from
35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
somewhere.
They could have at least made a
36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
movie about it, you know, By
then, by by this time.
37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,040
I've always found it fascinating
and one of the things that makes
38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,080
the Urantia book a revelation.
Is that it steps outside of.
39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,600
What you might call traditional
Christian theology.
40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,680
In fact, I I wanted to point it
out on my about page.
41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,240
My about page is the
introduction on urantiaradio.org
42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,840
and I want to go there for a
minute because it's important
43
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,800
for me to.
Share with you why I do this.
44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
What I'm involved with, and I
think you're involved in it too,
45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880
but let me just read to you.
It's not very long.
46
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,440
But it will tell you.
Everything you need to.
47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Know about why I believe this
book?
48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800
The Urantia Book is important
for those people that are just
49
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,840
stopping by or may not be
familiar with the Urantia Book.
50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,840
I wrote this.
The Urantia book is the history
51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,240
of creation it now becomes.
Possible for all to?
52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Grasp and interpret the meaning
and.
53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360
Purpose of life.
Within a more comprehensive
54
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400
narrative of those events that.
Preceded.
55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Our existence, events that
verify our universe is orderly,
56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,880
intelligently guided, and under
the domain of a loving and
57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,960
mindful Creator now.
That philosophic idea has.
58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Been debated since the beginning
of human history.
59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,800
The idea of the universe being
orderly, intelligently guided
60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,000
most people aside from people of
maybe faith and certain other.
61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Philosophies or ideologies
might.
62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Perceive of the universe as
being orderly, but they don't
63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,480
have evidence other than perhaps
maybe some some ideas like
64
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,520
gravity might be an indicative.
Of order.
65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Certainly the laws of
thermodynamics, entropy, but but
66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,840
you can't quite put your finger
on it.
67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200
But the Urantia book does put
its finger on it and it very
68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,040
plainly states that the universe
is intelligently guided and
69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,720
under the domain of a loving
keyword there is loving and
70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280
mindful Creator the universe
could not have.
71
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,839
Have produced somebody like a
Jesus.
72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Without it being a domain of
loving and mindful creation.
73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,560
And Jesus said that he.
Was the.
74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Son of the Father, and he who
had seen him has seen the the
75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080
highest potential of God in man
that you.
76
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,880
Could ever see.
The Urantia book reinforces this
77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,680
concept.
Now, this is not a traditional
78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,520
religious program.
I wouldn't even consider the
79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Rancho.
Radio podcast A religious.
80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Program in the way that I
interpret that you're not going
81
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240
to hear anybody preaching to you
here.
82
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,400
My job is not to.
Preach to you.
83
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,640
And talk about sin or
retribution or.
84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
The Gospels or try to.
Interpret scripture.
85
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,240
That's not.
What this is about?
86
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,040
It is about God.
But it is not about preaching.
87
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
It is about.
Looking and studying the Urantia
88
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,720
book.
Because of what it.
89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Says and as I state in my
preface on my website, the
90
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Urantia book is a history of
creation.
91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,600
Now more than 1/4 of the
Urantia.
92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Book, as I write, also discloses
the.
93
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Life and Teachings of the Son
of.
94
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,400
God.
Jesus.
95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Of Nazareth as presented by our
unseen friends whom we commonly
96
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,760
referred to as the Midway or
Commission and this group of
97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,200
semi spiritual, semi mortal
community otherwise known as the
98
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,120
11111 were there.
They they witnessed the life and
99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,640
teachings of Jesus.
It was an important event.
100
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,640
It was an important event in the
annals of of universal creation.
101
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200
Watchful eyes observed.
Our little planet.
102
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,080
For 33 years.
Because the Son of Man was
103
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,840
incarnated into the into flesh
and bone.
104
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:13,120
It was a momentous event.
Can you kind of grasp if you
105
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880
understand the divinity?
Of Jesus.
106
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,360
You have to admit.
That it wouldn't just.
107
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Be for this one.
Little world, although we've.
108
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Benefited, mostly, but we're
talking about a creation of up
109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,640
to 10 million worlds just in
Christ Michael's domain alone.
110
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,280
So I continue on with my preface
on the Rancher.
111
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Radio.org.
Says the arrangement.
112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Book authors tell us.
The two most valuable
113
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,480
experiences a human being can
have are the conscious act of
114
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,360
communion with God as a personal
living experience.
115
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,320
What you will, what you.
Will hear on this program.
116
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,040
Is what we talk.
Often about the spirit that.
117
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Is a part of.
Every human being, and this is
118
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,920
the glorious message, is that no
matter where you come from, no
119
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,000
matter what you.
Believe.
120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,000
No matter your pedigree, your
genealogy, none of that matters.
121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,280
Except for the fact that you are
an.
122
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,240
Ascendant human being.
A soul potential.
123
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,520
And you have within you a spark
of the living father.
124
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,400
His spirit lives within.
Each one of us, and it makes it.
125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Possible for us to.
Have that that inner communion.
126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440
If if God the.
Fragment of the Father was not
127
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,880
in us.
We would not be conscious of
128
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,080
that.
He is not far off as an abstract
129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320
many great religions.
View of God of.
130
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Being far off and an abstract,
something that we can never
131
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
touch.
And yet he is a part of us and I
132
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,640
write.
We are endowed.
133
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
By the Spirit we.
Are made in his image as shown
134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,520
by the existence of free will.
We are free to choose or reject.
135
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,800
This divine spirit, and it is
that exhibition of free.
136
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Will that leads to?
The age-old question.
137
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,000
That everybody always asks,
which is, if there's a God, why
138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,160
does he let?
Bad things happen, and we've
139
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480
seen in recent history.
With real tragedies.
140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960
And there's always real
tragedies going on.
141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Why?
Because when you have free will.
142
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,840
You have choice.
And when, When you're dealing
143
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,720
with human beings, Human beings
are capable of much error and
144
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,120
much evil.
Because they choose evil, they
145
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,920
choose to reject.
The leadings of the Divine
146
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Spirit and the Urantia Book I
write in my.
147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Preface says the second.
Most important human experience,
148
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
we're told.
Is to study how Jesus lived his
149
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,320
life Jesus displayed a.
Living example of how man can
150
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,400
find a God living life, a God
centered life and in doing so
151
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
reach our potential as ascending
human beings.
152
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160
And I write the Urantia.
Book is a religious.
153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Book to be sure, but it is not a
new religion.
154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,480
There are no formal.
Groups, leaders or spokespeople.
155
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360
It doesn't qualify as what you
might determine to be a cult
156
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,120
because there are no leaders.
There's no there is a community.
157
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Of believers that follow.
And read and study and discuss
158
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:14,080
and share their insights.
But that's the extent.
159
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,760
It is not a new living
philosophy.
160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,160
What it?
Does is it expands.
161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,320
Our philosophical concepts
Urantia book is not someone's
162
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,080
evolutionary idea.
It is a.
163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Revelational presentation of new
truths intended to fill in the
164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,080
missing gaps of human.
History.
165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,440
It is a.
Lifting of the curtain to cosmic
166
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,080
reality.
Each of the four.
167
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Sections of the Urantia book
are.
168
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Pieces of a Galactic.
Puzzle that, when assembled,
169
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,840
portray an intelligently
designed and lovingly
170
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,200
administered universe filled
with various types of advanced
171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,320
mortals, semi and holy spiritual
personalities who.
172
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,800
All have a specific.
Function in the Universal
173
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,960
Ascension program.
These angels and higher beings
174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,600
are guided by a much higher
principle based on eternal and
175
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,720
infinite reality concepts.
Imagine what?
176
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,160
It would be like.
If you removed the.
177
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Obstacle of death.
From your living experience, if
178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,160
you no longer had to.
Worry about the idea of death.
179
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,880
The cessation of existence.
If that was removed, how
180
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,840
different what your what?
What would your concepts?
181
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,560
Be.
What would your ideas be?
182
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760
And I'm also convinced that the
Urantia book is their attempt
183
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
to.
Disclose some of these.
184
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Concepts.
As best as we.
185
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,560
Can receive them in this age.
So therefore I write.
186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Having studied the Urantia
papers for nearly half a
187
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
century.
I feel compelled to share it
188
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,120
with others.
Who might be inclined to study
189
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,680
the book and each podcast?
That we do here is a study.
190
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:57,200
Of the 190. 6 separate papers.
That comprise the Urantia book.
191
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,480
So I appreciate you.
And in a minute, we're going to
192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,800
talk about Paper 72 and what it.
Is all about on.
193
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Life on another world.
It's a profound idea, that.
194
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,520
These revelators.
Dedicated one paper to
195
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,800
explaining.
To us how?
196
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Human beings.
Just like us.
197
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,720
And that are not too far
advanced of us or not too far
198
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,480
behind, as you will see.
And there's one group of people
199
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,200
on this world.
I'll give you a little tease and
200
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,320
then we'll take a little musical
interlude.
201
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,680
As I like to do, but just to.
Give you a kind of a quick
202
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,960
summation.
This other planet, they don't
203
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,440
name it, they don't give it a
name.
204
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,760
But I have some ideas on that.
And they say that this planet
205
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,320
has 11 continents.
Now we have what, 7 continents?
206
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,200
We have 7 continents on our
world.
207
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,800
They have 11.
Well, this planet has 1111
208
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,760
continents, and of all the 11,
only one of them has emerged
209
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,760
from the.
Savage stage of.
210
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Existence.
So this one continent, which
211
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,560
we'll learn about in just a
minute, is compared to our life.
212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,080
Here.
Perhaps in the United States,
213
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,960
perhaps in Western civilization.
And wait till you hear what?
214
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280
It has to say about how these
other people live.
215
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
In a minute here on the Rancho
Radio podcast, Hang on.
216
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,160
OK, we're back and I want to,
again, thank you as we delve
217
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
into Paper 72.
Feel free to read along if you
218
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,600
like.
You don't have to.
219
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,640
We won't read the whole thing.
I'm just going to read some of
220
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,960
the highlights and then give a
summation and then I really want
221
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,640
you to think about it.
And again, this is.
222
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,360
Out of.
I almost wanted to call this
223
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,760
segment off.
World.
224
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Because I think about it so
much, I can't even put into
225
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
words how much I.
Appreciate whoever put this.
226
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Together, it's momentous.
It's.
227
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Historical it should.
Be making headlines sometimes I
228
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,960
I don't understand why nobody.
Has caught this.
229
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,240
This has not caught any
community outside of the Urantia
230
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,440
book and yet it is mind blowing
to think about what we're being
231
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,280
told and why and why are we
being.
232
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,440
Told What is it?
That our unseen friends want to
233
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,560
share with us.
Why do they want to share?
234
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,720
With us.
Look around you.
235
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Look at.
What's happening to our?
236
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,480
World.
This is the world where Jesus
237
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,240
chose to live his.
Life 2000 years later, look at
238
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,720
what's happening.
You know the one thing good
239
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,480
about social media, And maybe
it's not even a good thing.
240
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,480
I'm not sure the.
Jury is still out, but you
241
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
really do.
See, I think more of what's
242
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800
going on in the world than you
would.
243
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Ever see?
Because the news and and these
244
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,200
various agencies, they don't
really go out and.
245
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Tell us what's really.
Going on some of us live in
246
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,360
these large cities and we.
See the filth?
247
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,560
That's piling up and the number
of homeless you're seeing a
248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,000
degradation of.
Society.
249
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,000
It's almost like we've reached
an apex and now we're going the
250
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,360
other way.
So I asked myself, did the
251
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,400
Urantia revelator see this
coming?
252
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,760
I mean these are advanced semi
spiritual beings.
253
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640
They've been around for
eternity.
254
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Some of them, they know what's
going on.
255
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520
I mean they see where the.
Trajectory is we.
256
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,040
We have a lot of things that are
going against us.
257
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,040
We've got the fact.
That our planetary Prince
258
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Calagastia.
Threw his.
259
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Lot in with Lucifer during the
rebellion And what did that do
260
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,280
that threw us into a darkness
for over 200,000 years when
261
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,920
mankind should have been
learning the.
262
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
The basic essentials of.
Civilization building.
263
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,320
You know, if you don't believe
me, I want you to do something
264
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,920
for me.
I want you to go, and I want you
265
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,120
to find out where Lake Van gets
its name.
266
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Lake Van and Eastern.
Turkey, it's the largest.
267
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Inland lake I think in and
Turkey you do.
268
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,680
All the research.
You can go.
269
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,240
Talk to historians.
Go.
270
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,480
And to the.
Halls of the Greatest.
271
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400
You know museum you can find and
and try.
272
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,840
To figure out.
Where Lake Van comes from And
273
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,760
then ask.
Yourself.
274
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Why is it?
Are there vestiges of superior
275
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,640
civilizations?
In this region, the oldest
276
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400
region of Earth, Goblecki.
Tepe is there.
277
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Lake Van, the Assyrians, all of
the If you look at a map of the
278
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,680
where civilization starting to
emerge in prehistory, you'll
279
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,800
find that it completely
validates what the Arantia book
280
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,840
says, that at one point we had
the Nodites and the Vanites, and
281
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,280
these were the.
Vestiges of the Calagastia.
282
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Civilization that went awry.
During the Lucifer rebellion.
283
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,840
I hope I'm not going too fast.
My point is.
284
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
This is that we.
Are reaching an apex of
285
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,800
something, everybody.
Feels it, everybody says.
286
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Something's going on when that.
Kirk fellow got shot.
287
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,440
A lot of people said that they
felt the spirit.
288
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Of something unusual.
Turning point.
289
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520
And so that might explain why
the tarantula.
290
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Book revelators thought that.
Maybe this was the time and
291
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,320
certainly the maybe it was the
time to give these people a
292
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560
little nudge.
Maybe it was time to reveal to
293
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,040
them some information.
A good friend of mine, a good
294
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,599
friend of mine always says, how
can you know?
295
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,720
Who you are?
If you don't know where you came
296
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,839
from.
And so in my preface on the
297
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:15,680
Oranja book, I say it's a
history book.
298
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,599
How do we ever get a good.
Assessment of who?
299
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,160
We are as a people, as a race,
as a culture.
300
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,920
As simple human beings, if we
don't know where we came from
301
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,079
and then how?
What it took to get here.
302
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,280
And this is what you read about
in the sections of the Urantia
303
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,880
book about marriage and family.
Life it gives a.
304
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,840
Timeline of how marriage
evolved, how families evolved.
305
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080
It's important to know that
information because it gives you
306
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,840
a better sense.
Of.
307
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Measurement of.
Measurement of.
308
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Progress and it.
Says a lot about women and their
309
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,720
challenges today now that
they've been liberated for so
310
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,560
long they were they were
essentially might consider them
311
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,840
enslaved and.
Says with that liberty.
312
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Comes great responsibility and
family, by the way, is very
313
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,160
important in the Urancha book it
says the family is the
314
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,320
foundation of of progressive
humanity without strong
315
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,600
families, you cannot have a a
strong society it is impossible
316
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,520
so at some point the.
History of society.
317
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,440
And the evolution of growth and
the evolution of mankind
318
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,400
himself.
And then in Paper 72, all of the
319
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,000
sudden out of nowhere they start
talking about another planet.
320
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,440
But where did that?
Come from Wait a minute, we were
321
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,120
just talking about.
Earth Well paper. 71 in the
322
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:47,440
culmination of explaining how.
Society has evolved with all of
323
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160
our.
Cultures and our traditions.
324
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,000
The final.
Paper is the character of
325
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720
statehood.
And it gives us and we've.
326
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,640
Covered that before it gives us
tools.
327
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,760
On how we can ensure that our
statehood survives and doesn't.
328
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,320
Collapse, so at that.
Juncture they switch and they go
329
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,640
over to paper 72 and they say,
OK, now that we've explained to
330
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,840
you what we think you could do
to move along society on
331
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,800
peaceful means.
So when they open by this in
332
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,560
paper 72.
It says by.
333
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Permission of Laniferge.
Laniferge.
334
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,680
Replaced Lucifer.
When Lucifer defaulted and he
335
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
through his.
Rebellious ideas this is.
336
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,920
Centuries and centuries ago, he
was eventually being held in
337
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,440
custody awaiting adjudication
Laniferge and he is the system
338
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640
sovereign.
He is a Latinandek's son.
339
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Laniferge is his name and he.
Overseas.
340
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080
The entire system of.
Worlds of which we exist, so the
341
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,160
writers of the.
Urantia.
342
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,680
Book had to go.
To Laniferge and say we want to
343
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,120
present life on another world to
the benefit.
344
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,720
Of.
The people of Urantia, Michael.
345
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760
'S world, so by.
Permission of Laniferge, the
346
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,360
Urantia book writes, and with
the approval of the Most High.
347
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,600
And we know the Most High's rule
in the kingdoms of men from our
348
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600
Bible.
The writer of this.
349
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Paper says I am authorized to
narrate something of the social,
350
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,760
moral and political life of the
most advanced human race living
351
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,280
on a not far distant planet
belonging to our system to our
352
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,120
system of satania of all the
satania worlds, where which
353
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,080
became.
Isolated because of the.
354
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,200
Participation of the Lucifer
Rebellion.
355
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960
This planet has experienced a
history most like that of
356
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Urantia and the similarity.
Of the two spheres.
357
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,480
Undoubtedly explains why
permission to make this
358
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,760
extraordinary presentation was
granted, for it is most unusual
359
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,000
for the system rulers to consent
to the narration of one planet.
360
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Of the.
Affairs of another this planet
361
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320
like Urantia.
Was led astray by the disloyalty
362
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200
of.
Its planetary prints in
363
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760
connection with the Lucifer
Rebellion as I spoke.
364
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,240
Before just like ours.
Kalagastia.
365
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,880
Kalagastia is.
Mentioned in the.
366
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Bible is the devil.
He was the one that tempted.
367
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Eve with ideas of.
Going it alone.
368
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,720
The rites they had a.
Planetary Prince who defaulted.
369
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,160
They also received an Adam and
Eve.
370
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,160
Shortly after their Adam.
Came to their world.
371
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,440
Adam came to our world, and this
sun also defaulted, leaving the
372
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,120
sphere isolated since a
magisterial sun has never been
373
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,560
bestowed upon its mortal.
Races, so we have.
374
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,840
A distinct advantage.
We had the Creator, Son of the
375
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Universe live on our world.
As part of his.
376
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:04,520
Bestowal experience, They have
not had a magisterial son visit
377
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600
them.
They also have not had, as far
378
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,320
as we can tell, the benefit of a
Melchizedek for those who know
379
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,720
your Bible.
In the Sage of.
380
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Salem Macheventa Melchizedek was
the man who singled out Abraham
381
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:24,000
and taught him cosmology.
He revealed to him the universe
382
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,720
he revealed to him when he in
the famous momentous discussion
383
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,360
they have where he waves his
hands and says your.
384
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,320
Seed will be as.
Plentiful as the stars.
385
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,280
This planet that we're.
Being told about didn't have
386
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,880
that advantage either.
Notwithstanding, they say, of
387
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:50,120
all these planetary handicaps, a
very superior civilization is
388
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,680
evolving on an isolated
continent.
389
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280
About the.
Size of Australia they.
390
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Number about 140 million people,
according to the Oranja book,
391
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:03,520
and its people are a mixed race,
predominantly blue.
392
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,880
Which would be corollary.
To the Nordic race.
393
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,360
Of our history.
Mixed in with the yellow, and if
394
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,200
you remember from the Urantia
book, we're taught that all
395
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,720
evolutionary.
Worlds will have colored.
396
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,440
Races some 3, some 6.
Ours had six races.
397
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,680
Originally, two of them
annihilated.
398
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:30,880
Each other the blue race was
very biologically uplifted by
399
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,880
the.
Adamites.
400
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Would be the blue.
Then, of course we.
401
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Have the Asian yellow so on this
world they had predominantly
402
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,240
blue and yellow on this one
continent of 140 million and
403
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,960
they say that they fraternized
and.
404
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Socialized very acceptably.
The average length of life on
405
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,400
this continent is now 90 years.
That's 15% higher than than that
406
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,800
of any other people on the
planet.
407
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,120
What is ours?
Ours is 72 for men, 77 for
408
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:03,480
women.
The industrial mechanisms of
409
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,040
this nation enjoys a certain
great advantage derived from the
410
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,160
unique.
Topography of the.
411
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Continent, the high mountains on
which heavy rains fall 8 months
412
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,040
in the year are.
Situated at the very.
413
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Center of this country.
This natural arrangement favors
414
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,640
the utilization of water power.
And greatly facilitates the.
415
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Irrigation of the more arid
western quarter of the
416
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320
continent.
That's a very similar to what?
417
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760
We see with the Colorado River.
You got this high mountain
418
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,600
mountainous area in Colorado and
it rains and it snows and all
419
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,760
that water.
Keeps places like Las.
420
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:46,120
Vegas and Phoenix and Los
Angeles afloat they say the
421
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,680
continental nation in general
followed the evolutionary trend
422
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,360
of the planet.
The development from the.
423
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,800
Tribal stage to the.
Appearance of strong rulers and
424
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,120
kings occupied thousands of
years.
425
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,560
The unconditional monarchs were
succeeded by many different
426
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,520
orders of government.
A board of republics.
427
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,640
Communal States and dictators
came and went in endless
428
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,360
profusion.
This growth continued until
429
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:18,560
about 500 years ago, when,
during a politically fermenting
430
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,640
period, one of the nation's.
Powerful dictator.
431
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Triumvirs had a change of heart.
He volunteered to abdicate upon
432
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
condition that one of the other
rulers.
433
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,960
The baser of the.
Remaining 2 also.
434
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Vacate his dictatorship.
Thus was the sovereignty of the
435
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,280
continent placed in the hands of
1 ruler.
436
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,720
The unified state progressed.
Under strong monarchical rule
437
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,000
for about 200 years, during
which there evolved a masterful.
438
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Charter of liberty.
To think about our own history,
439
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800
particularly in the United
States 200 years ago.
440
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,680
We have all these.
Different people coming from.
441
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Various parts of Europe, you've
got the Irish, you've got the
442
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,240
Scottish.
You've got the Germans, you've
443
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,360
got mostly people that are
trying to.
444
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:10,080
Escape the the the.
Church of England in their
445
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,600
oppression.
Targeting Quakers.
446
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,840
Targeting Catholics.
And they come to these new lands
447
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,680
here in North America, all with
different.
448
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Cultures all with.
Different ideas of and they form
449
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,840
a constitution, and that
constitution leads to the
450
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,600
Declaration of Independence.
And these 13 states break off
451
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840
from colonial rule of the
Europeans.
452
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:39,880
And we in, in our own way, came
up with our own masterful
453
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,440
charter of liberty, didn't we?
Not unlike this nation that
454
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,840
we're being.
Talked about the subsequent.
455
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,640
Transition at rights from
monarchy to a representative
456
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,720
form of government.
Was gradual.
457
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,840
The King's remaining as mere
social or sentimental
458
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,160
figureheads, finally
disappearing when the male line
459
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,360
of descent ran out.
The present Republic has now
460
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:08,400
been in existence just 200
years, during which time there
461
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,920
has been a continuous
progression toward the
462
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,240
governmental techniques about to
be narrated, the latest
463
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,080
development in industrial and
political realms having been
464
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,600
made within the past decade.
Pause to consider that this
465
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,920
book, written in 1934,
published.
466
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Printed in 42.
Published in. 55 S at.
467
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,240
The time they were writing this
was 34 and the planet that
468
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,400
they're talking about they have
the information up to about 1925
469
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,120
based on our so I'm wondering if
that's a.
470
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,160
Clue because if if if it's a
decade, is that because it took
471
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,920
that?
Long to get from that planet to
472
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,360
this planet, somebody had to
deliver the information, right?
473
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760
Interesting.
So the book goes.
474
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,960
On the paper goes on to.
Talk about the political.
475
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Organization how the
representative government has a
476
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,400
centrally located national
capital, there are 100
477
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,840
comparatively free.
States.
478
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,440
We have 50.
The states elect their.
479
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,880
Governors and their legislators.
It goes on to talk about the
480
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,920
home life and let me just read
a.
481
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,000
Couple of passages because.
This continent looks at
482
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,560
matrimony and relationships very
differently from our own on this
483
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,160
continent.
It says it is.
484
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,000
Against the law for two families
to live under the same roof, and
485
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,200
since group dwellings have been
outlawed, most of the tenement
486
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,680
types of buildings have been
demolished, but the unmarried
487
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320
still live in clubs, hotels and
other group dwellings.
488
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,200
The smallest home site permitted
must provide 50. 1000 square.
489
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Feet of land All land and other
property used for home purpose
490
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,840
are free from taxation up to 10
times the minimum home site
491
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:07,120
allotment there's.
Much detail about the specifics,
492
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,960
which I I really appreciate.
In their telling, they say the
493
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,480
average number of children in
each family is 5 and they are
494
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,120
under the control of their
parents or in the case or the
495
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,520
demise of one or both under.
That of the Guardians.
496
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Designated by the parental
courts, it is considered a great
497
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,880
honor for any family to be.
Awarded the guardianship of a
498
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
full orphan.
Competitive examinations are
499
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,800
held among parents and and
orphans, or an orphan is awarded
500
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640
to the home.
Of those displaying.
501
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,560
The best parental
qualifications.
502
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,600
But we have.
That in a similar degree we have
503
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,240
adoptions and adoption.
People have to qualify parents,
504
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,000
he says.
These.
505
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320
People regard the home as the
basic institution of their
506
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
civilization.
It is expected.
507
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,960
That the most valuable.
Part of a child.
508
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,400
'S education and character
training will be secured from
509
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,960
his parents and at home, and
fathers devote almost as much
510
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,880
time and attention to child
culture as do mothers.
511
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440
It talks about the moral
instruction is.
512
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,560
Offered by teachers.
During the rest.
513
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,960
Periods in school shops.
Religious training is deemed to
514
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840
be the.
Exclusive privilege of the.
515
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,960
Parents religion being looked
upon as an integral part of home
516
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,400
life, purely religious
instruction is given publicly
517
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,760
only in the temples of
philosophy, no such exclusively
518
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360
religious institutions as the
Urantia churches having
519
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,880
developed among this.
People.
520
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,680
So we have churches.
They don't have churches.
521
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,200
They have.
Temples of philosophy.
522
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,760
In their philosophy, religion is
the striving to know God and to
523
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,800
manifest love for one's fellows.
Servants through service for.
524
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920
Them, but this is not.
Typical of the other religious
525
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,720
statuses of the.
Other nations on this planet,
526
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,880
religion is so entirely a family
matter among these people that
527
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,320
there are no public places.
Devoted exclusively to
528
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,200
religious.
Assembly, this is a nice I don't
529
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,960
know what what would you call
this sentence?
530
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Let me read it to you.
Tell me what you think
531
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,280
politically, Church and state as
Urantians are won't to say.
532
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,880
Are entirely separate, but.
There is a strange overlapping
533
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,920
of religion and philosophy.
Then this this paragraph until
534
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,240
20 years.
Ago the spiritual teachers.
535
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Comparable to Urantia pastors
who visit each family
536
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,040
periodically to examine the
children to ascertain if they've
537
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,080
been properly instructed by
their parents and they're under
538
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,200
government supervision.
Says these spiritual advisors.
539
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,920
And examiners are now under the
direction of the newly created
540
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,760
foundation of spiritual.
Progress they also.
541
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Say that this institution of
their pastors.
542
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,600
That are state supported.
Says they may not further evolve
543
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,920
until.
After the arrival.
544
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Of a paradise magisterial son
final notes children remain
545
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,080
legally.
Subject to their parents.
546
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,240
Until they're 15, when the first
initiation into civic
547
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,800
responsibility.
Is held, therefore, every five
548
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,920
years for five successive
periods.
549
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Similar.
Public exercises are held.
550
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,680
For such an age.
Or for such age groups at which
551
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,320
their.
Obligations to parents are
552
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,520
lessened.
Social responsibilities to the
553
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,640
state are assumed.
Suffrage is conferred at 20 the
554
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,760
right to vote.
The right to marry without

00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,640
parental.
Consent is not bestowed until 25

Home on reaching the age of 30
these are their social.
558
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Laws Marriage and divorce laws
are.
559
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,600
Uniform throughout the nation
marriage before 20 the age of.
560
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Civil enfranchisement is not.
Permitted permission to marry is
561
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,080
only granted after one year's
notice of intention and after
562
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,200
both bride and groom presents
certificates showing.
563
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
That they have been fully.
Instructed in the parental.
564
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Schools.
Regarding the responsibilities
565
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,280
of married life, now think about
how important that is because
566
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320
these people.
As we're told believe.
567
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,920
That.
Family in the family
568
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840
institution.
Is the most important
569
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,800
institution, so they take it
very seriously.
570
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,800
Not like in.
America where we go off and
571
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,680
elope in Las Vegas and have a
whoop whoop weekend and you
572
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,640
know, think of the divorce rate
50% they say that divorce
573
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,760
regulations.
On this world are LAX but.
574
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,480
Decrees a separation.
Are issued by the parental
575
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,680
courts.
It's also recorded.
576
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,480
They say that the divorce rate
on that planet.
577
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Is 110th of our races on Urantia
goes on to talk about their
578
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,000
educational system, which.
We'll save.
579
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,360
For another day, but we.
Could learn a lot from these.
580
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,280
People and how they have set up
their educational system if we
581
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,840
adopted even 1. 10th of what?
This book says that they're.
582
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,920
Doing on planet.
X our our children would not be
583
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,239
in the position there aren't
today in in in in America in in
584
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,239
California just recently a
second largest state in the
585
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,199
country by population, largest
school system.
586
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,639
Most money put towards children
and half the kids who get out of
587
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,000
school can't.
Even read.
588
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,159
Which just shows you how far
we've.
589
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,639
We've fallen, they talk.
About their crime, the way
590
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,880
they're industries are set up.
They spend some time talking
591
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,639
about.
How to take care of their
592
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,560
elderly?
And the old age insurance.
593
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,679
Programs that they have, ladies
and gentlemen, they're.
594
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,199
Giving.
Us a way out?
595
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,880
They're showing us by example.
That we could do better.
596
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,600
They talk about taxation because
if you know.
597
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,360
That in in in the previous
section when it talks about the
598
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,320
evolution of government, there
are dangers of over taxation of
599
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120
big.
Government and they spell.
600
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,520
It out in this book they show us
how another advanced
601
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,520
civilization is dealing with the
same problems that we deal with.
602
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080
They talk.
About how they deal with crime.
603
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120
And they say that these people
are passing out of the.
604
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,800
Negative into the.
Positive era of law.
605
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Recently they have gone so.
Far as to attempt the.
606
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,360
Prevention of crime by.
Sentencing those who are
607
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,480
believed to be.
Potential murderers and major.
608
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,560
Criminals to life service in
the.
609
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,000
Detention colonies.
But they say if such convicts
610
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,120
subsequently demonstrate that
they have become more.
611
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,440
Normal.
They may either be paroled or
612
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920
pardoned.
The homicide rate on this
613
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,720
continent is only 1% of that of
the other creations.
614
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,920
So.
In reflecting now upon the other
615
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,240
nations of this world that we've
been introduced to, they they
616
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,200
write.
Although the society and
617
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,240
government of this.
Unique people are in many
618
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,120
respects superior to those.
Of the Iranian nations.
619
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640
It should be stated.
That on the other continents.
620
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,600
And there are 11 on this planet.
The governments are decidedly
621
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,360
inferior to the more advanced.
Nations.
622
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Of Urantia.
And then finally it says here in
623
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,240
this paragraph, this recital of
the.
624
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,600
Affairs of a neighboring planet
is made by.
625
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,960
Special permission with the
intent of advancing civilization
626
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,080
and augmenting governmental
evolution on Urantia.
627
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Much more could be narrated that
would no doubt interest and
628
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,640
intrigue Urantians.
But this disclosure?
629
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,640
Covers the limits of.
Our permissive mandate.
630
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,600
So what do you think of that?
Is it?
631
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,880
Is it?
Deeply profound, that.
632
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,160
You.
Have just been told that there's
633
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,000
life.
Out in the universe.
634
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,360
And that there's even life on a
world not that far advanced than
635
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,280
our own, going through the same
trials and tribulations, but
636
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,440
without the benefit of.
Having been visited.
637
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,000
And blessed by the Creator's
Son.
638
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
And think if.
We could apply much of these
639
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,160
lessons to our own predicaments.
There's no room for error here
640
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,720
in trying to extrapolate what
their intent is.
641
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:27,040
It says right here in paper 7212
this.
642
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,400
Recital of the affairs of a
neighboring planet.
643
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,960
Is made by special permission
with the intent of advancing
644
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,600
civilization and augmenting
governmental evolution on
645
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,160
Urantia, we still have to solve
our.
646
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,880
Problems they're not giving us.
Advanced technology.
647
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,200
They're not giving us advanced
formulas and how to solve our
648
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,240
energy problem, but they are
giving us.
649
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,120
The information.
That we are going through
650
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,720
because.
They this other world is so much
651
00:37:55,720 --> 00:38:02,320
like our own.
Paper 72 again another.
652
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,200
Wonderful.
Example of of this.
653
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,840
Wonderful revelation that we
have.
654
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,080
Before us.
And I'm and I'm grateful that
655
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,000
you've.
Taken the time and it's been
656
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,320
almost 45 minutes.
So with that, thank you.
657
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,000
I look.
Forward to our.
658
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,160
Next.
Get together and we have.
659
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,240
So much more to talk about.
If you have a question or a
660
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,960
comment, it's easy to contact.
Me just write an.
661
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,160
E-mail
yourrancherbookradio@gmail.com
662
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,120
Until next time, Blessings to
you.
663
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Stay strong and stay faithful.
See you next time.
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,920
Well, I hope you.
Have a nice beverage and that
2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,240
you are comfortable.
Where you are.
3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,480
As we Nestle in, as I'm doing
now, and we're going to have a.
4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,600
Really great show.
And I always assume that new
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640
people are tuning in because,
well, the numbers tell me that
6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,080
new people are tuning in.
Every week we're.
7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,320
Picking up new listeners to the
Rancho Radio podcast I Am.
8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,640
Of course, your host.
Long time reader.
9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,000
I just realized the other day
that I first picked up the book.
10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,040
In 1983, so that puts me at 42.
Years.
11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,560
Of reading and studying and
thinking about the revelation.
12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,800
And I never look back.
And I I'm always.
13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,960
Grateful that people.
TuneIn and explore the
14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,600
revelation I knew I have a a
page which you may be aware of
15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,040
and it's.
Called.
16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,160
Urantiaradio.org.
We have our podcast which.
17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,400
Is on the Spotify network and
then on iheart and all the
18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,080
different podcast platforms.
But in addition to all that, we
19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080
have your rancherradio.org and
it.
20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Sort of showcases.
All of the recent updates and
21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,080
it's anyway.
It's.
22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,880
It's also has a the.
Your Rancher Radio live stream
23
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,960
which we just added that
component, so check it out when
24
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:19,040
you get a chance.
You can listen 24 hours a day on
25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360
the Rancher Radio station.
Just look for the.
26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Live stream thing at the top of
the menu and then if you want to
27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,000
listen to.
Podcasts, obviously you're.
28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,960
Doing that now.
So anyway, we're going to talk.
29
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,920
About life.
And what it's like on another
30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,080
world.
And it's kind of boggling, mind
31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,680
boggling to me.
That here we have.
32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,320
The Urantia book which has been
around for 100 years and you
33
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,560
would think that.
A chapter dedicated to life.
34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,560
On Another World would at least
get some attention from
35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
somewhere.
They could have at least made a
36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
movie about it, you know, By
then, by by this time.
37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,040
I've always found it fascinating
and one of the things that makes
38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,080
the Urantia book a revelation.
Is that it steps outside of.
39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,600
What you might call traditional
Christian theology.
40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,680
In fact, I I wanted to point it
out on my about page.
41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,240
My about page is the
introduction on urantiaradio.org
42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,840
and I want to go there for a
minute because it's important
43
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,800
for me to.
Share with you why I do this.
44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
What I'm involved with, and I
think you're involved in it too,
45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,880
but let me just read to you.
It's not very long.
46
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,440
But it will tell you.
Everything you need to.
47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Know about why I believe this
book?
48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800
The Urantia Book is important
for those people that are just
49
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,840
stopping by or may not be
familiar with the Urantia Book.
50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,840
I wrote this.
The Urantia book is the history
51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,240
of creation it now becomes.
Possible for all to?
52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Grasp and interpret the meaning
and.
53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,360
Purpose of life.
Within a more comprehensive
54
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400
narrative of those events that.
Preceded.
55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Our existence, events that
verify our universe is orderly,
56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,880
intelligently guided, and under
the domain of a loving and
57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,960
mindful Creator now.
That philosophic idea has.
58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,080
Been debated since the beginning
of human history.
59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,800
The idea of the universe being
orderly, intelligently guided
60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,000
most people aside from people of
maybe faith and certain other.
61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Philosophies or ideologies
might.
62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Perceive of the universe as
being orderly, but they don't
63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,480
have evidence other than perhaps
maybe some some ideas like
64
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,520
gravity might be an indicative.
Of order.
65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Certainly the laws of
thermodynamics, entropy, but but
66
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,840
you can't quite put your finger
on it.
67
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200
But the Urantia book does put
its finger on it and it very
68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,040
plainly states that the universe
is intelligently guided and
69
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,720
under the domain of a loving
keyword there is loving and
70
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280
mindful Creator the universe
could not have.
71
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,839
Have produced somebody like a
Jesus.
72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Without it being a domain of
loving and mindful creation.
73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,560
And Jesus said that he.
Was the.
74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Son of the Father, and he who
had seen him has seen the the
75
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080
highest potential of God in man
that you.
76
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,880
Could ever see.
The Urantia book reinforces this
77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,680
concept.
Now, this is not a traditional
78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,520
religious program.
I wouldn't even consider the
79
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Rancho.
Radio podcast A religious.
80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Program in the way that I
interpret that you're not going
81
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240
to hear anybody preaching to you
here.
82
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,400
My job is not to.
Preach to you.
83
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,640
And talk about sin or
retribution or.
84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
The Gospels or try to.
Interpret scripture.
85
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,240
That's not.
What this is about?
86
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,040
It is about God.
But it is not about preaching.
87
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560
It is about.
Looking and studying the Urantia
88
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,720
book.
Because of what it.
89
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Says and as I state in my
preface on my website, the
90
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Urantia book is a history of
creation.
91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,600
Now more than 1/4 of the
Urantia.
92
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Book, as I write, also discloses
the.
93
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Life and Teachings of the Son
of.
94
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,400
God.
Jesus.
95
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Of Nazareth as presented by our
unseen friends whom we commonly
96
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:38,760
referred to as the Midway or
Commission and this group of
97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:44,200
semi spiritual, semi mortal
community otherwise known as the
98
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,120
11111 were there.
They they witnessed the life and
99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,640
teachings of Jesus.
It was an important event.
100
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,640
It was an important event in the
annals of of universal creation.
101
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200
Watchful eyes observed.
Our little planet.
102
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,080
For 33 years.
Because the Son of Man was
103
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,840
incarnated into the into flesh
and bone.
104
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:13,120
It was a momentous event.
Can you kind of grasp if you
105
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880
understand the divinity?
Of Jesus.
106
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,360
You have to admit.
That it wouldn't just.
107
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Be for this one.
Little world, although we've.
108
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,800
Benefited, mostly, but we're
talking about a creation of up
109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,640
to 10 million worlds just in
Christ Michael's domain alone.
110
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,280
So I continue on with my preface
on the Rancher.
111
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Radio.org.
Says the arrangement.
112
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Book authors tell us.
The two most valuable
113
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,480
experiences a human being can
have are the conscious act of
114
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,360
communion with God as a personal
living experience.
115
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,320
What you will, what you.
Will hear on this program.
116
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,040
Is what we talk.
Often about the spirit that.
117
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Is a part of.
Every human being, and this is
118
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,920
the glorious message, is that no
matter where you come from, no
119
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,000
matter what you.
Believe.
120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,000
No matter your pedigree, your
genealogy, none of that matters.
121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,280
Except for the fact that you are
an.
122
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,240
Ascendant human being.
A soul potential.
123
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,520
And you have within you a spark
of the living father.
124
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,400
His spirit lives within.
Each one of us, and it makes it.
125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Possible for us to.
Have that that inner communion.
126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,440
If if God the.
Fragment of the Father was not
127
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,880
in us.
We would not be conscious of
128
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,080
that.
He is not far off as an abstract
129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,320
many great religions.
View of God of.
130
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,960
Being far off and an abstract,
something that we can never
131
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160
touch.
And yet he is a part of us and I
132
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,640
write.
We are endowed.
133
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
By the Spirit we.
Are made in his image as shown
134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,520
by the existence of free will.
We are free to choose or reject.
135
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,800
This divine spirit, and it is
that exhibition of free.
136
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Will that leads to?
The age-old question.
137
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,000
That everybody always asks,
which is, if there's a God, why
138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,160
does he let?
Bad things happen, and we've
139
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,480
seen in recent history.
With real tragedies.
140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960
And there's always real
tragedies going on.
141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,200
Why?
Because when you have free will.
142
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,840
You have choice.
And when, When you're dealing
143
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,720
with human beings, Human beings
are capable of much error and
144
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,120
much evil.
Because they choose evil, they
145
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,920
choose to reject.
The leadings of the Divine
146
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Spirit and the Urantia Book I
write in my.
147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Preface says the second.
Most important human experience,
148
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
we're told.
Is to study how Jesus lived his
149
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,320
life Jesus displayed a.
Living example of how man can
150
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,400
find a God living life, a God
centered life and in doing so
151
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
reach our potential as ascending
human beings.
152
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160
And I write the Urantia.
Book is a religious.
153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Book to be sure, but it is not a
new religion.
154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,480
There are no formal.
Groups, leaders or spokespeople.
155
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,360
It doesn't qualify as what you
might determine to be a cult
156
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,120
because there are no leaders.
There's no there is a community.
157
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Of believers that follow.
And read and study and discuss
158
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:14,080
and share their insights.
But that's the extent.
159
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,760
It is not a new living
philosophy.
160
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,160
What it?
Does is it expands.
161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,320
Our philosophical concepts
Urantia book is not someone's
162
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,080
evolutionary idea.
It is a.
163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Revelational presentation of new
truths intended to fill in the
164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,080
missing gaps of human.
History.
165
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,440
It is a.
Lifting of the curtain to cosmic
166
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,080
reality.
Each of the four.
167
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Sections of the Urantia book
are.
168
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Pieces of a Galactic.
Puzzle that, when assembled,
169
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,840
portray an intelligently
designed and lovingly
170
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,200
administered universe filled
with various types of advanced
171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,320
mortals, semi and holy spiritual
personalities who.
172
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,800
All have a specific.
Function in the Universal
173
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,960
Ascension program.
These angels and higher beings
174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,600
are guided by a much higher
principle based on eternal and
175
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,720
infinite reality concepts.
Imagine what?
176
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,160
It would be like.
If you removed the.
177
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Obstacle of death.
From your living experience, if
178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,160
you no longer had to.
Worry about the idea of death.
179
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,880
The cessation of existence.
If that was removed, how
180
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,840
different what your what?
What would your concepts?
181
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,560
Be.
What would your ideas be?
182
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760
And I'm also convinced that the
Urantia book is their attempt
183
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,800
to.
Disclose some of these.
184
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Concepts.
As best as we.
185
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,560
Can receive them in this age.
So therefore I write.
186
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Having studied the Urantia
papers for nearly half a
187
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,280
century.
I feel compelled to share it
188
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,120
with others.
Who might be inclined to study
189
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,680
the book and each podcast?
That we do here is a study.
190
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:57,200
Of the 190. 6 separate papers.
That comprise the Urantia book.
191
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,480
So I appreciate you.
And in a minute, we're going to
192
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,800
talk about Paper 72 and what it.
Is all about on.
193
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,400
Life on another world.
It's a profound idea, that.
194
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,520
These revelators.
Dedicated one paper to
195
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,800
explaining.
To us how?
196
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Human beings.
Just like us.
197
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,720
And that are not too far
advanced of us or not too far
198
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,480
behind, as you will see.
And there's one group of people
199
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,200
on this world.
I'll give you a little tease and
200
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,320
then we'll take a little musical
interlude.
201
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,680
As I like to do, but just to.
Give you a kind of a quick
202
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:40,960
summation.
This other planet, they don't
203
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,440
name it, they don't give it a
name.
204
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,760
But I have some ideas on that.
And they say that this planet
205
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,320
has 11 continents.
Now we have what, 7 continents?
206
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,200
We have 7 continents on our
world.
207
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,800
They have 11.
Well, this planet has 1111
208
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,760
continents, and of all the 11,
only one of them has emerged
209
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,760
from the.
Savage stage of.
210
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Existence.
So this one continent, which
211
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,560
we'll learn about in just a
minute, is compared to our life.
212
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,080
Here.
Perhaps in the United States,
213
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,960
perhaps in Western civilization.
And wait till you hear what?
214
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280
It has to say about how these
other people live.
215
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520
In a minute here on the Rancho
Radio podcast, Hang on.
216
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,160
OK, we're back and I want to,
again, thank you as we delve
217
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
into Paper 72.
Feel free to read along if you
218
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,600
like.
You don't have to.
219
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,640
We won't read the whole thing.
I'm just going to read some of
220
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,960
the highlights and then give a
summation and then I really want
221
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,640
you to think about it.
And again, this is.
222
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,360
Out of.
I almost wanted to call this
223
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,760
segment off.
World.
224
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Because I think about it so
much, I can't even put into
225
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
words how much I.
Appreciate whoever put this.
226
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Together, it's momentous.
It's.
227
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Historical it should.
Be making headlines sometimes I
228
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,960
I don't understand why nobody.
Has caught this.
229
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,240
This has not caught any
community outside of the Urantia
230
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,440
book and yet it is mind blowing
to think about what we're being
231
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,280
told and why and why are we
being.
232
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,440
Told What is it?
That our unseen friends want to
233
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,560
share with us.
Why do they want to share?
234
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,720
With us.
Look around you.
235
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Look at.
What's happening to our?
236
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,480
World.
This is the world where Jesus
237
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,240
chose to live his.
Life 2000 years later, look at
238
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:03,720
what's happening.
You know the one thing good
239
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,480
about social media, And maybe
it's not even a good thing.
240
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,480
I'm not sure the.
Jury is still out, but you
241
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,920
really do.
See, I think more of what's
242
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800
going on in the world than you
would.
243
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Ever see?
Because the news and and these
244
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,200
various agencies, they don't
really go out and.
245
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Tell us what's really.
Going on some of us live in
246
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,360
these large cities and we.
See the filth?
247
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,560
That's piling up and the number
of homeless you're seeing a
248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,000
degradation of.
Society.
249
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,000
It's almost like we've reached
an apex and now we're going the
250
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,360
other way.
So I asked myself, did the
251
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,400
Urantia revelator see this
coming?
252
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,760
I mean these are advanced semi
spiritual beings.
253
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640
They've been around for
eternity.
254
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,200
Some of them, they know what's
going on.
255
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520
I mean they see where the.
Trajectory is we.
256
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,040
We have a lot of things that are
going against us.
257
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,040
We've got the fact.
That our planetary Prince
258
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Calagastia.
Threw his.
259
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Lot in with Lucifer during the
rebellion And what did that do
260
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,280
that threw us into a darkness
for over 200,000 years when
261
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,920
mankind should have been
learning the.
262
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
The basic essentials of.
Civilization building.
263
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,320
You know, if you don't believe
me, I want you to do something
264
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,920
for me.
I want you to go, and I want you
265
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,120
to find out where Lake Van gets
its name.
266
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Lake Van and Eastern.
Turkey, it's the largest.
267
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,400
Inland lake I think in and
Turkey you do.
268
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,680
All the research.
You can go.
269
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,240
Talk to historians.
Go.
270
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,480
And to the.
Halls of the Greatest.
271
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400
You know museum you can find and
and try.
272
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,840
To figure out.
Where Lake Van comes from And
273
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,760
then ask.
Yourself.
274
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Why is it?
Are there vestiges of superior
275
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,640
civilizations?
In this region, the oldest
276
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,400
region of Earth, Goblecki.
Tepe is there.
277
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,960
Lake Van, the Assyrians, all of
the If you look at a map of the
278
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,680
where civilization starting to
emerge in prehistory, you'll
279
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,800
find that it completely
validates what the Arantia book
280
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,840
says, that at one point we had
the Nodites and the Vanites, and
281
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,280
these were the.
Vestiges of the Calagastia.
282
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Civilization that went awry.
During the Lucifer rebellion.
283
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,840
I hope I'm not going too fast.
My point is.
284
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
This is that we.
Are reaching an apex of
285
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,800
something, everybody.
Feels it, everybody says.
286
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Something's going on when that.
Kirk fellow got shot.
287
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,440
A lot of people said that they
felt the spirit.
288
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Of something unusual.
Turning point.
289
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520
And so that might explain why
the tarantula.
290
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Book revelators thought that.
Maybe this was the time and
291
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,320
certainly the maybe it was the
time to give these people a
292
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560
little nudge.
Maybe it was time to reveal to
293
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,040
them some information.
A good friend of mine, a good
294
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,599
friend of mine always says, how
can you know?
295
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,720
Who you are?
If you don't know where you came
296
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,839
from.
And so in my preface on the
297
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:15,680
Oranja book, I say it's a
history book.
298
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,599
How do we ever get a good.
Assessment of who?
299
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,160
We are as a people, as a race,
as a culture.
300
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,920
As simple human beings, if we
don't know where we came from
301
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,079
and then how?
What it took to get here.
302
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,280
And this is what you read about
in the sections of the Urantia
303
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,880
book about marriage and family.
Life it gives a.
304
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,840
Timeline of how marriage
evolved, how families evolved.
305
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080
It's important to know that
information because it gives you
306
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,840
a better sense.
Of.
307
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,080
Measurement of.
Measurement of.
308
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Progress and it.
Says a lot about women and their
309
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,720
challenges today now that
they've been liberated for so
310
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,560
long they were they were
essentially might consider them
311
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,840
enslaved and.
Says with that liberty.
312
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Comes great responsibility and
family, by the way, is very
313
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,160
important in the Urancha book it
says the family is the
314
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,320
foundation of of progressive
humanity without strong
315
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,600
families, you cannot have a a
strong society it is impossible
316
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,520
so at some point the.
History of society.
317
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,440
And the evolution of growth and
the evolution of mankind
318
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,400
himself.
And then in Paper 72, all of the
319
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,000
sudden out of nowhere they start
talking about another planet.
320
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,440
But where did that?
Come from Wait a minute, we were
321
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:43,120
just talking about.
Earth Well paper. 71 in the
322
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:47,440
culmination of explaining how.
Society has evolved with all of
323
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160
our.
Cultures and our traditions.
324
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,000
The final.
Paper is the character of
325
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,720
statehood.
And it gives us and we've.
326
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,640
Covered that before it gives us
tools.
327
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,760
On how we can ensure that our
statehood survives and doesn't.
328
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,320
Collapse, so at that.
Juncture they switch and they go
329
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,640
over to paper 72 and they say,
OK, now that we've explained to
330
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,840
you what we think you could do
to move along society on
331
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,800
peaceful means.
So when they open by this in
332
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,560
paper 72.
It says by.
333
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Permission of Laniferge.
Laniferge.
334
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,680
Replaced Lucifer.
When Lucifer defaulted and he
335
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
through his.
Rebellious ideas this is.
336
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,920
Centuries and centuries ago, he
was eventually being held in
337
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,440
custody awaiting adjudication
Laniferge and he is the system
338
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,640
sovereign.
He is a Latinandek's son.
339
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Laniferge is his name and he.
Overseas.
340
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080
The entire system of.
Worlds of which we exist, so the
341
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,160
writers of the.
Urantia.
342
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,680
Book had to go.
To Laniferge and say we want to
343
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,120
present life on another world to
the benefit.
344
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,720
Of.
The people of Urantia, Michael.
345
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760
'S world, so by.
Permission of Laniferge, the
346
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,360
Urantia book writes, and with
the approval of the Most High.
347
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,600
And we know the Most High's rule
in the kingdoms of men from our
348
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600
Bible.
The writer of this.
349
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Paper says I am authorized to
narrate something of the social,
350
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,760
moral and political life of the
most advanced human race living
351
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,280
on a not far distant planet
belonging to our system to our
352
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,120
system of satania of all the
satania worlds, where which
353
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,080
became.
Isolated because of the.
354
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,200
Participation of the Lucifer
Rebellion.
355
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960
This planet has experienced a
history most like that of
356
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Urantia and the similarity.
Of the two spheres.
357
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,480
Undoubtedly explains why
permission to make this
358
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,760
extraordinary presentation was
granted, for it is most unusual
359
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,000
for the system rulers to consent
to the narration of one planet.
360
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Of the.
Affairs of another this planet
361
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320
like Urantia.
Was led astray by the disloyalty
362
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200
of.
Its planetary prints in
363
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760
connection with the Lucifer
Rebellion as I spoke.
364
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,240
Before just like ours.
Kalagastia.
365
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,880
Kalagastia is.
Mentioned in the.
366
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Bible is the devil.
He was the one that tempted.
367
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Eve with ideas of.
Going it alone.
368
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,720
The rites they had a.
Planetary Prince who defaulted.
369
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,160
They also received an Adam and
Eve.
370
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,160
Shortly after their Adam.
Came to their world.
371
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,440
Adam came to our world, and this
sun also defaulted, leaving the
372
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,120
sphere isolated since a
magisterial sun has never been
373
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,560
bestowed upon its mortal.
Races, so we have.
374
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,840
A distinct advantage.
We had the Creator, Son of the
375
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Universe live on our world.
As part of his.
376
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:04,520
Bestowal experience, They have
not had a magisterial son visit
377
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,600
them.
They also have not had, as far
378
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,320
as we can tell, the benefit of a
Melchizedek for those who know
379
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,720
your Bible.
In the Sage of.
380
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Salem Macheventa Melchizedek was
the man who singled out Abraham
381
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:24,000
and taught him cosmology.
He revealed to him the universe
382
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,720
he revealed to him when he in
the famous momentous discussion
383
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,360
they have where he waves his
hands and says your.
384
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,320
Seed will be as.
Plentiful as the stars.
385
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,280
This planet that we're.
Being told about didn't have
386
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,880
that advantage either.
Notwithstanding, they say, of
387
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:50,120
all these planetary handicaps, a
very superior civilization is
388
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,680
evolving on an isolated
continent.
389
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280
About the.
Size of Australia they.
390
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Number about 140 million people,
according to the Oranja book,
391
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:03,520
and its people are a mixed race,
predominantly blue.
392
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,880
Which would be corollary.
To the Nordic race.
393
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,360
Of our history.
Mixed in with the yellow, and if
394
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,200
you remember from the Urantia
book, we're taught that all
395
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,720
evolutionary.
Worlds will have colored.
396
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,440
Races some 3, some 6.
Ours had six races.
397
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,680
Originally, two of them
annihilated.
398
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:30,880
Each other the blue race was
very biologically uplifted by
399
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,880
the.
Adamites.
400
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Would be the blue.
Then, of course we.
401
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Have the Asian yellow so on this
world they had predominantly
402
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,240
blue and yellow on this one
continent of 140 million and
403
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,960
they say that they fraternized
and.
404
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Socialized very acceptably.
The average length of life on
405
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,400
this continent is now 90 years.
That's 15% higher than than that
406
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,800
of any other people on the
planet.
407
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,120
What is ours?
Ours is 72 for men, 77 for
408
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:03,480
women.
The industrial mechanisms of
409
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,040
this nation enjoys a certain
great advantage derived from the
410
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,160
unique.
Topography of the.
411
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Continent, the high mountains on
which heavy rains fall 8 months
412
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,040
in the year are.
Situated at the very.
413
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Center of this country.
This natural arrangement favors
414
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,640
the utilization of water power.
And greatly facilitates the.
415
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Irrigation of the more arid
western quarter of the
416
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320
continent.
That's a very similar to what?
417
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,760
We see with the Colorado River.
You got this high mountain
418
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:38,600
mountainous area in Colorado and
it rains and it snows and all
419
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,760
that water.
Keeps places like Las.
420
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:46,120
Vegas and Phoenix and Los
Angeles afloat they say the
421
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,680
continental nation in general
followed the evolutionary trend
422
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,360
of the planet.
The development from the.
423
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,800
Tribal stage to the.
Appearance of strong rulers and
424
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,120
kings occupied thousands of
years.
425
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,560
The unconditional monarchs were
succeeded by many different
426
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,520
orders of government.
A board of republics.
427
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,640
Communal States and dictators
came and went in endless
428
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,360
profusion.
This growth continued until
429
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:18,560
about 500 years ago, when,
during a politically fermenting
430
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,640
period, one of the nation's.
Powerful dictator.
431
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Triumvirs had a change of heart.
He volunteered to abdicate upon
432
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
condition that one of the other
rulers.
433
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,960
The baser of the.
Remaining 2 also.
434
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Vacate his dictatorship.
Thus was the sovereignty of the
435
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,280
continent placed in the hands of
1 ruler.
436
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,720
The unified state progressed.
Under strong monarchical rule
437
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,000
for about 200 years, during
which there evolved a masterful.
438
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Charter of liberty.
To think about our own history,
439
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800
particularly in the United
States 200 years ago.
440
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,680
We have all these.
Different people coming from.
441
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Various parts of Europe, you've
got the Irish, you've got the
442
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,240
Scottish.
You've got the Germans, you've
443
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,360
got mostly people that are
trying to.
444
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:10,080
Escape the the the.
Church of England in their
445
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,600
oppression.
Targeting Quakers.
446
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,840
Targeting Catholics.
And they come to these new lands
447
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,680
here in North America, all with
different.
448
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Cultures all with.
Different ideas of and they form
449
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,840
a constitution, and that
constitution leads to the
450
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,600
Declaration of Independence.
And these 13 states break off
451
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840
from colonial rule of the
Europeans.
452
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:39,880
And we in, in our own way, came
up with our own masterful
453
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,440
charter of liberty, didn't we?
Not unlike this nation that
454
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,840
we're being.
Talked about the subsequent.
455
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,640
Transition at rights from
monarchy to a representative
456
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,720
form of government.
Was gradual.
457
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,840
The King's remaining as mere
social or sentimental
458
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,160
figureheads, finally
disappearing when the male line
459
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,360
of descent ran out.
The present Republic has now
460
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:08,400
been in existence just 200
years, during which time there
461
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,920
has been a continuous
progression toward the
462
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,240
governmental techniques about to
be narrated, the latest
463
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,080
development in industrial and
political realms having been
464
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,600
made within the past decade.
Pause to consider that this
465
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,920
book, written in 1934,
published.
466
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Printed in 42.
Published in. 55 S at.
467
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,240
The time they were writing this
was 34 and the planet that
468
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:40,400
they're talking about they have
the information up to about 1925
469
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,120
based on our so I'm wondering if
that's a.
470
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,160
Clue because if if if it's a
decade, is that because it took
471
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,920
that?
Long to get from that planet to
472
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,360
this planet, somebody had to
deliver the information, right?
473
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760
Interesting.
So the book goes.
474
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,960
On the paper goes on to.
Talk about the political.
475
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,960
Organization how the
representative government has a
476
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,400
centrally located national
capital, there are 100
477
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,840
comparatively free.
States.
478
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,440
We have 50.
The states elect their.
479
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,880
Governors and their legislators.
It goes on to talk about the
480
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,920
home life and let me just read
a.
481
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,000
Couple of passages because.
This continent looks at
482
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,560
matrimony and relationships very
differently from our own on this
483
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,160
continent.
It says it is.
484
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,000
Against the law for two families
to live under the same roof, and
485
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,200
since group dwellings have been
outlawed, most of the tenement
486
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,680
types of buildings have been
demolished, but the unmarried
487
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320
still live in clubs, hotels and
other group dwellings.
488
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,200
The smallest home site permitted
must provide 50. 1000 square.
489
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Feet of land All land and other
property used for home purpose
490
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,840
are free from taxation up to 10
times the minimum home site
491
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:07,120
allotment there's.
Much detail about the specifics,
492
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,960
which I I really appreciate.
In their telling, they say the
493
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,480
average number of children in
each family is 5 and they are
494
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,120
under the control of their
parents or in the case or the
495
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,520
demise of one or both under.
That of the Guardians.
496
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Designated by the parental
courts, it is considered a great
497
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,880
honor for any family to be.
Awarded the guardianship of a
498
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
full orphan.
Competitive examinations are
499
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,800
held among parents and and
orphans, or an orphan is awarded
500
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,640
to the home.
Of those displaying.
501
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,560
The best parental
qualifications.
502
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,600
But we have.
That in a similar degree we have
503
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,240
adoptions and adoption.
People have to qualify parents,
504
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,000
he says.
These.
505
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320
People regard the home as the
basic institution of their
506
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,760
civilization.
It is expected.
507
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,960
That the most valuable.
Part of a child.
508
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,400
'S education and character
training will be secured from
509
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,960
his parents and at home, and
fathers devote almost as much
510
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,880
time and attention to child
culture as do mothers.
511
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440
It talks about the moral
instruction is.
512
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,560
Offered by teachers.
During the rest.
513
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,960
Periods in school shops.
Religious training is deemed to
514
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840
be the.
Exclusive privilege of the.
515
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,960
Parents religion being looked
upon as an integral part of home
516
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,400
life, purely religious
instruction is given publicly
517
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,760
only in the temples of
philosophy, no such exclusively
518
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,360
religious institutions as the
Urantia churches having
519
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,880
developed among this.
People.
520
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,680
So we have churches.
They don't have churches.
521
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,200
They have.
Temples of philosophy.
522
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,760
In their philosophy, religion is
the striving to know God and to
523
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,800
manifest love for one's fellows.
Servants through service for.
524
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920
Them, but this is not.
Typical of the other religious
525
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,720
statuses of the.
Other nations on this planet,
526
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,880
religion is so entirely a family
matter among these people that
527
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,320
there are no public places.
Devoted exclusively to
528
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,200
religious.
Assembly, this is a nice I don't
529
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,960
know what what would you call
this sentence?
530
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,680
Let me read it to you.
Tell me what you think
531
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,280
politically, Church and state as
Urantians are won't to say.
532
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,880
Are entirely separate, but.
There is a strange overlapping
533
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,920
of religion and philosophy.
Then this this paragraph until
534
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,240
20 years.
Ago the spiritual teachers.
535
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Comparable to Urantia pastors
who visit each family
536
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,040
periodically to examine the
children to ascertain if they've
537
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,080
been properly instructed by
their parents and they're under
538
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,200
government supervision.
Says these spiritual advisors.
539
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,920
And examiners are now under the
direction of the newly created
540
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,760
foundation of spiritual.
Progress they also.
541
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,320
Say that this institution of
their pastors.
542
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,600
That are state supported.
Says they may not further evolve
543
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,920
until.
After the arrival.
544
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,520
Of a paradise magisterial son
final notes children remain
545
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,080
legally.
Subject to their parents.
546
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,240
Until they're 15, when the first
initiation into civic
547
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,800
responsibility.
Is held, therefore, every five
548
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,920
years for five successive
periods.
549
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Similar.
Public exercises are held.
550
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,680
For such an age.
Or for such age groups at which
551
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,320
their.
Obligations to parents are
552
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,520
lessened.
Social responsibilities to the
553
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,640
state are assumed.
Suffrage is conferred at 20 the
554
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,760
right to vote.
The right to marry without
555
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,640
parental.
Consent is not bestowed until 25
556
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,880

Home on reaching the age of 30
these are their social.
558
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Laws Marriage and divorce laws
are.
559
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,600
Uniform throughout the nation
marriage before 20 the age of.
560
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Civil enfranchisement is not.
Permitted permission to marry is
561
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,080
only granted after one year's
notice of intention and after
562
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,200
both bride and groom presents
certificates showing.
563
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,200
That they have been fully.
Instructed in the parental.
564
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Schools.
Regarding the responsibilities
565
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,280
of married life, now think about
how important that is because
566
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320
these people.
As we're told believe.
567
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,920
That.
Family in the family
568
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840
institution.
Is the most important
569
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,800
institution, so they take it
very seriously.
570
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,800
Not like in.
America where we go off and
571
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,680
elope in Las Vegas and have a
whoop whoop weekend and you
572
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,640
know, think of the divorce rate
50% they say that divorce
573
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,760
regulations.
On this world are LAX but.
574
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,480
Decrees a separation.
Are issued by the parental
575
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,680
courts.
It's also recorded.
576
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,480
They say that the divorce rate
on that planet.
577
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Is 110th of our races on Urantia
goes on to talk about their
578
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,000
educational system, which.
We'll save.
579
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,360
For another day, but we.
Could learn a lot from these.
580
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,280
People and how they have set up
their educational system if we
581
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,840
adopted even 1. 10th of what?
This book says that they're.
582
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,920
Doing on planet.
X our our children would not be
583
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,239
in the position there aren't
today in in in in America in in
584
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,239
California just recently a
second largest state in the
585
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,199
country by population, largest
school system.
586
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,639
Most money put towards children
and half the kids who get out of
587
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,000
school can't.
Even read.
588
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,159
Which just shows you how far
we've.
589
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,639
We've fallen, they talk.
About their crime, the way
590
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:45,880
they're industries are set up.
They spend some time talking
591
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,639
about.
How to take care of their
592
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,560
elderly?
And the old age insurance.
593
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,679
Programs that they have, ladies
and gentlemen, they're.
594
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,199
Giving.
Us a way out?
595
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,880
They're showing us by example.
That we could do better.
596
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,600
They talk about taxation because
if you know.
597
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,360
That in in in the previous
section when it talks about the
598
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,320
evolution of government, there
are dangers of over taxation of
599
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120
big.
Government and they spell.
600
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,520
It out in this book they show us
how another advanced
601
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,520
civilization is dealing with the
same problems that we deal with.
602
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080
They talk.
About how they deal with crime.
603
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,120
And they say that these people
are passing out of the.
604
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,800
Negative into the.
Positive era of law.
605
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Recently they have gone so.
Far as to attempt the.
606
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,360
Prevention of crime by.
Sentencing those who are
607
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,480
believed to be.
Potential murderers and major.
608
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,560
Criminals to life service in
the.
609
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,000
Detention colonies.
But they say if such convicts
610
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,120
subsequently demonstrate that
they have become more.
611
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,440
Normal.
They may either be paroled or
612
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920
pardoned.
The homicide rate on this
613
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,720
continent is only 1% of that of
the other creations.
614
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,920
So.
In reflecting now upon the other
615
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,240
nations of this world that we've
been introduced to, they they
616
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,200
write.
Although the society and
617
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,240
government of this.
Unique people are in many
618
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,120
respects superior to those.
Of the Iranian nations.
619
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,640
It should be stated.
That on the other continents.
620
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,600
And there are 11 on this planet.
The governments are decidedly
621
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,360
inferior to the more advanced.
Nations.
622
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Of Urantia.
And then finally it says here in
623
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,240
this paragraph, this recital of
the.
624
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,600
Affairs of a neighboring planet
is made by.
625
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,960
Special permission with the
intent of advancing civilization
626
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,080
and augmenting governmental
evolution on Urantia.
627
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Much more could be narrated that
would no doubt interest and
628
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,640
intrigue Urantians.
But this disclosure?
629
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,640
Covers the limits of.
Our permissive mandate.
630
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,600
So what do you think of that?
Is it?
631
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,880
Is it?
Deeply profound, that.
632
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,160
You.
Have just been told that there's
633
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,000
life.
Out in the universe.
634
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,360
And that there's even life on a
world not that far advanced than
635
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,280
our own, going through the same
trials and tribulations, but
636
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,440
without the benefit of.
Having been visited.
637
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,000
And blessed by the Creator's
Son.
638
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
And think if.
We could apply much of these
639
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,160
lessons to our own predicaments.
There's no room for error here
640
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,720
in trying to extrapolate what
their intent is.
641
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:27,040
It says right here in paper 7212
this.
642
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,400
Recital of the affairs of a
neighboring planet.
643
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,960
Is made by special permission
with the intent of advancing
644
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,600
civilization and augmenting
governmental evolution on
645
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,160
Urantia, we still have to solve
our.
646
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,880
Problems they're not giving us.
Advanced technology.
647
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,200
They're not giving us advanced
formulas and how to solve our
648
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,240
energy problem, but they are
giving us.
649
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,120
The information.
That we are going through
650
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,720
because.
