Prayer, Worship and Ancient Aliens

1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,000
Well, it's time for another
edition of the Urantia Radio

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,640
Podcast.
And I'm so glad that you're with

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,080
me.
And I do want to apologize.

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,280
I, I try to crank out at least
one or two segments a week.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,080
But frankly, it's been crazy and
there's been all kinds of

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,320
activity with other things.
And we've been traveling quite a

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,080
bit at the Watkins household
trying to take care of some

8
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,160
affairs.
But I hope to be back on track.

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,240
And don't, don't worry, along
the way there were all kinds of

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,520
things that that we were talking
about.

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,240
And then I especially wanted to
get to and I wrote furious notes

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,680
and I'm back and I want to talk
about prayer and worship for a

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720
few reasons.
Namely, the first is because I

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,640
believe that this is the time
where prayers are really needed

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,880
on a, on a perhaps a planetary
level.

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,840
And I want to get to a little
bit about that and what the

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Urantia Book has to say about
prayer and worship.

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,040
I also believe that there is a
deficit of people, perhaps even

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,440
generational people that have
not been raised in church or

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,800
don't have a sort of a Christian
rooted philosophy or theology

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,280
that that don't know what prayer
and worship really are.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,520
And maybe just maybe they
haven't been properly introduced

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,720
to these two components that
allow us to be at our spiritual

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,920
best.
So we'll get to that.

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,960
I also want to spend a little
bit of time talking about the

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,000
effects of the Cal Caligasa 100.
I've given a lot of thought to

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,200
this, and I went so far even as
to write what I think might be a

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,200
good idea for a book or a movie,
and it's centered around ban,

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,400
ban and of course, Amazon and
what they had to endure.

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
So I might spend a little bit of
time on that.

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
And then of course, our main
focus is on prayer and worship.

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,280
I also want to let you know that
the Urantia Radio dot org

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,880
website is up.
So anytime you miss an episode,

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,400
you can go to the Spotify
platform or if you have your own

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,400
podcast platform or Apple or
iTunes, share the podcast with

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,639
folks you think you might have
some interest in taking a

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,760
spiritual path.
Maybe they need some

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,120
reassurance.
But this podcast will always be

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,720
here for you.
And we explore the 5th epical

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,080
revelation right here.
And that's pretty momentous.

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,040
We're talking about something on
the level of epical.

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,880
It is an epical revelation
because we're introduced to

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,160
knowledge that mankind has been
searching for for millennia.

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,120
And we'll talk about a lot of
things this time.

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Take a quick timeout for
sponsors and we'll be right

46
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,520
back.
You're listening to the Urantia

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:03:00,520
Radio podcast.
For those who don't know, the

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,320
story of of Van and the 100
talking a lot about the ancient

49
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,840
aliens, actually, who were the
ancient aliens?

50
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,120
I want to spend a moment on that
because the Urantia book says a

51
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,640
lot about these ancient aliens
and who they were, and it

52
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,760
answers a lot of questions that
people in the ufology community

53
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,080
are looking for.
Was there a one time alien race

54
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,440
that came from somewhere else?
Well, yeah, actually if you read

55
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840
about it in the Urantia book,
about the time that the colored

56
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,640
races appeared, the Sanguk race,
about the time it was coinciding

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000
with the appearance of
Calagasia, who was a planetary

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,680
Prince.
And he serves at the pleasure of

59
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Michael of Nebadon.
He's a Landon and ex son and his

60
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720
superior Lucifer, who was the
system sovereign at about the

61
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,960
same time.
And then the brief story is that

62
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,000
there was there was a war in
heaven as depicted in the Bible

63
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,640
and elsewhere.
And what we had was self

64
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,040
assertion, the liberty doctrine.
Lucifer had declared that God

65
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,360
was dead, and that it was
nothing more than a way for

66
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,480
Michael and the other High
Administrators of the universe

67
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,920
to assert their own authority.
And at that time, Caligastia,

68
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,800
who was here serving as
planetary prints along with his

69
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,080
material staff 100 had declared
his loyalty to Lucifer, and this

70
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200
set into motion a complete
destruction of the plan of

71
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,440
mortal ascendancy for us.
And at that time there were not

72
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,280
that many colored races, though
there were a few here and there.

73
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,680
And they were certainly superior
to their Denisovan brothers, and

74
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,520
certainly they were more
superior than the

75
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,920
Neanderthalers, who had pretty
much dominance over much of the

76
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,480
earth at that time.
And so it was time for Savage

77
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Man to get instruction.
And this was the beginnings of

78
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,760
the 100.
And their rule was in that area

79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,040
known as the Persian Gulf, what
they called Dalamatia.

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,320
And you can read all about it in
the Urantia book.

81
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,600
It certainly is one of the more
odd sections of the book in Part

82
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,920
3, but it's, according to the
Urantra revelators, based in

83
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,800
fact.
And it's interesting because

84
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,280
Van, one of the heroes who
decided to keep his allegiance

85
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,840
towards Christ, Michael, along
with his human counterpart

86
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,360
Amidon.
And think about this for a

87
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,200
moment.
Here are these 100 ascenders

88
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,960
that had lived material lives of
their own on their own worlds.

89
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,640
In fact, the Urantia revelators
tell us none of the 100 lived on

90
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,800
the same planet of their mortal
experience.

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,720
And so they volunteer for this
service.

92
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,120
They come to Urantia, our world
and their and their goal is to

93
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,480
civilize savage man, to prepare
him for that one day in the

94
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,200
future when a material son and
daughter would arrive, which

95
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,160
would be Adam and Eve.
And the whole plan was disrupted

96
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,680
by this rebellion, and to this
day, it has not been fully

97
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,880
adjudicated.
Many Urantia book readers

98
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,240
speculate that the ancients of
days have or are about to make

99
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,120
their final ruling.
But that could be decades,

100
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,280
thousands of years of.
And I've heard, I've heard

101
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,840
people tell me that they believe
that the reason that there's so

102
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,560
much evil in the world today is
because Caligastia, who is still

103
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:37,920
here and who has not been taken
and is not in the Father's world

104
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,280
in detention, as is Lucifer and,
and Satan, his assistant.

105
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
And so he's still able to roam
free.

106
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,680
And when you look at some of the
evil going on in the world

107
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,320
today, it's easy to believe that
perhaps Calagastia is asserting

108
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,720
his influence and to those who
really want to side with him.

109
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,600
And that also is explained in
the Urantia book The Downfall of

110
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Calagastia.
Should read it.

111
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200
We haven't done so in a long
time.

112
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,800
But the Oriental revelator say
that man is also perfectly

113
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,600
capable of being evil in his own
right.

114
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,800
And it usually happens when they
separate themselves from God or

115
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,400
they fall into the false belief
that there is no God, which is a

116
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600
very prevalent belief in today's
world, unfortunately.

117
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760
So the story goes that Van and
Abadon stayed loyal.

118
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,920
They continue to try to set up
these areas of early

119
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,440
civilization.
And interestingly, Lake Van

120
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,840
still bears his name.
Lake Van in eastern Turkey,

121
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:48,920
which was where he went after
the fall of Dalamatia, and then

122
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,880
also other tribal areas along
the Caspian Sea in the region,

123
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080
the Dopec Gog Dog region, I
think it's called.

124
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160
And these were early.
If you go back in time and look

125
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,880
at some of the archaeological
digs, it turns out to be very

126
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,160
true that in Mesopotamia there
are fragments of early

127
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,200
civilization.
And the Urantia book tells us

128
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,000
who these early civilizers were
and they were the remnants, the

129
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,080
40 or so that remain loyal to
the plan of teaching human

130
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,080
beings basic concepts like
agriculture, home life, hygiene,

131
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:33,760
plumbing, animal husbandry,
using animals as label as

132
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,840
machines really.
And they were able to inculcate

133
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,480
some of the of the different
colored races with some of

134
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,880
these, the Blue Man, the red man
did receive a, a faint help from

135
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,520
the 100 or what was remaining of
the 100.

136
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,360
So we have that story.
And I and I, I was focusing on

137
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,640
it for a long time because I
thought to myself, you know,

138
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,640
what about if I go through the
ascension process or you and we

139
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,320
go through the mansion worlds
and we're on Jerusalem for a

140
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,520
period of time, taking in our
instruction, learning the

141
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,920
different languages, the
language of Nebadon, learning

142
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,760
about the Father, correcting the
mistakes, our intellectual and

143
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,560
personality natures, removing
the, the vestiges of the flesh.

144
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,720
And then we, we one day get
asked if we want to volunteer

145
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880
for service on some other world
that might be going through that

146
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,200
period of early civilization.
And, and then you conceive of

147
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:44,800
the time frame of Nod and Van
and Hap and all these others,

148
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,240
hundreds of thousands of years
they stayed and they labored.

149
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,480
And then finally, when the
material sun came, Adam and Eve,

150
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,440
they departed, they went back on
their way and continued their

151
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,960
ascendant journey.
I just I, I find the whole story

152
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,080
fascinating.
And it's it's really just a

153
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,800
brief narrative in the Urantia
book.

154
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,920
But man, it's just it, it
actually provokes more questions

155
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,080
than an answers, but it
definitely gives us a touchstone

156
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,680
on where all these so-called
ancient aliens came from.

157
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,280
They came from Jerusalem.
Now, many of my ufology friends

158
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,360
would probably disagree with me,
but you know, the bigger story

159
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,480
here is not so much that who
they were, but what they were

160
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,120
trying to do.
And they were the first

161
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,720
revelation given to our our
planet.

162
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,960
And it came at a time when
mortals could just barely

163
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,280
understand.
And they adopted some of the

164
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,560
practices and then they went out
and they founded their own

165
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:48,400
pockets of civilization.
And all of it is narrated in the

166
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,920
Urantia book right there for
people to see.

167
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,480
So it's an interesting story and
one of many.

168
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:01,240
And it it reassures my faith
that in time, all things unfold.

169
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,840
We have no idea the conception
of reality based on an eternal

170
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:12,560
conception, the fact that we
won't die after we've survived

171
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,560
the mortal ascension.
Unless of course, we later

172
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:21,000
choose that not to accept the
divine plan, which is always a

173
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,800
possibility and must forever
remain so.

174
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,640
Because that is the nature of
free will, isn't it?

175
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
God gave us free will to choose
good.

176
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:36,120
And Speaking of God, I, I had AI
help me assemble a list of some

177
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,080
of my favorite quotes.
And I want to do some quotes and

178
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,880
I want to spend a little bit of
time on prayer and worship.

179
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,160
And I picked some of the big
ones.

180
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760
And I want to focus on prayer
because what is prayer but

181
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,360
connecting to the spiritual
source?

182
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,920
And I want to read some of these
great quotes.

183
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,040
Maybe they'll help you.
Maybe they'll give you a sense

184
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,080
of hope in a world that right
now is being ravaged by a lot of

185
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600
different negative forces.
So there's good out there and

186
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,320
there's a lot of good happening
if you look for it, but there's

187
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,280
also a lot of danger out there.
So now would be a good time to

188
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:16,280
tap into that spiritual resource
that's available to you through

189
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,200
the central of your mind where
rests the the Spirit of the

190
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Father.
So here's one the value of

191
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,280
prayer.
Prayer is designated to make man

192
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,160
less thinking but more
realizing.

193
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,960
It is not designed to increase
knowledge, but rather to expand

194
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,520
insight.
That comes from paper 91, prayer

195
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,480
as a spiritual exercise.
Prayer is the breath of the soul

196
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,160
and should lead to personal
cooperation with the Divine

197
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:51,040
plan.
From Paper 144, Prayer and

198
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,440
personal growth.
The act of prayer restores one's

199
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,720
spiritual perspective even in
the face of great personal

200
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:06,920
tribulation.
Also from Paper 91 Jesus on the

201
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,640
power of sincere prayer.
Sincere prayers of the soul are

202
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,320
always answered.
Sometimes the answer is greatly

203
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,200
delayed while the spirit world
devises a better answer to meet

204
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,160
the real need.
Prayer in the will of God from

205
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,520
paper 91.
Also, prayer does not change the

206
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,520
divine attitude, but often it
effectually alters man's

207
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:39,520
attitude towards life.
Prayer is a technique of

208
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,160
detachment from daily routine,
of retreat, from the monotonous

209
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:51,280
grind of material existence.
Your Father knows what you need

210
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,800
before you ask him, said Jesus.
But this form of communication

211
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,000
with the divine will ever
enlarge your capacity to

212
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,200
receive.
It comes from the life and

213
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,280
teachings of Jesus, from Paper
91.

214
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480
The highest prayer is
intelligent communion with the

215
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480
personal and spiritual realities
of the universe.

216
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,720
Prayer, even as a purely human
practice, represents the most

217
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,640
effective method of making
contact with the spirit

218
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,520
realities and personal
influences of the spiritual

219
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,000
world.
Prayer and spiritual discipline.

220
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Genuine prayer adds to spiritual
growth, modifies attitudes, and

221
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,280
yields that satisfaction which
comes from communion with

222
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,080
Divinity.
Again, from paper 91.

223
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,560
It sounds to me like paper 91.
That might be worth revisiting.

224
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,240
So let's now focus on worship,
because worship and prayer are

225
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,920
two distinct differences.
So how are they different?

226
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Well, let's examine it from
paper 27.

227
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Worship is the act of a part
identifying itself with the

228
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,280
whole, the finite with the
infinite, the Son with the

229
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Father, time with eternity.
Worship is the highest privilege

230
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920
and the first duty of all
created intelligences.

231
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,240
True worship is the sincere
pursuit of divine values and the

232
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
wholehearted recognition of
divine realities.

233
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,840
That was from paper 143,
Probably the words of Jesus from

234
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,360
paper 5.
Prayer is a function of

235
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,120
religion, but worship is an
experience of the spiritual

236
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,520
nature.
Jesus said the time has come

237
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,880
when true worshippers will
worship the Father in spirit and

238
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,960
in truth, for the Father seeks
such to worship Him.

239
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,880
Worship is the technique of
looking to the One for the

240
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,920
inspiration to serve the many.
Worship is the highest joy of

241
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,000
time, a foretaste of the
pleasures of eternity.

242
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,640
Worship is the act of a personal
being yielding spiritual loyalty

243
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,080
to a spirit being who is the
source of such personality.

244
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,320
Worship is intended to
anticipate the better realities

245
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,960
of eternal progression, to
foreshadow the eternal

246
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,800
adventure.
And finally, this worship is the

247
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,880
act of recognizing and communing
with the whole, the finite

248
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,600
attempt to communicate with the
infinite, the time space

249
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,920
creature in communion with the
timeless Creator.

250
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,480
So those are 10 quotes on
worship, 10 quotes on prayer.

251
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,000
For me personally, I find the
best time to pray or to worship

252
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
is as the sun is setting or the
sun is rising.

253
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,040
I don't know.
For some reason, I I don't

254
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,599
worship the son and I would
never community confuse myself

255
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,040
with the son separate from the
the spirit of the father, but to

256
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,480
me only because because all
sons, All Stars to me represent

257
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:27,200
that aspect of physical power of
paradise in paradise, of course,

258
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,480
reflects the attitude and the
will of the Father.

259
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,160
So it's easy for me to connect
and it's such an inspiring

260
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,560
thing.
And I just feel like there's all

261
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,240
this spiritual energy coming in
from the light and the heat and

262
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,600
it helps me settle my mind.
And indeed, prayer.

263
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,040
Prayer is talking to God,
worship is thanking him.

264
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,440
And I think that's where we'll
leave it this time on a brief,

265
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,440
yet I hope important segment of
the Urantia book.

266
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,840
I just if you have an
opportunity this week, read the

267
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,480
100 and try to imagine what it
had been like way back then,

268
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,880
when human beings were nothing
more than really savage animals.

269
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,680
Barely.
And if you want to know what we

270
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:20,160
have looked like if we had not
received any, any of the gifts

271
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,400
that we received over the
millennia from our unseen

272
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,680
friends, look no further than
some of these tribes that still

273
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,880
exist in places like Indonesia.
You'll get a real wake up call

274
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,280
to what humanity might look like
today without the gifts of the

275
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,160
father and his sons.
So we'll catch up again real

276
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,160
soon.
I'll have another great update

277
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,200
for you.
We're going to have a great

278
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,760
interview with Halbert Katzen.
He wrote a terrific article

279
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,240
about the Urantia movement and
he promised that he and I would

280
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,720
get together.
And we haven't gotten together

281
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
in a while.
So we hope to have that up

282
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,120
within the next couple of weeks.
Of course, this is resurrection

283
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,120
season.
I hope that you had time to

284
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:01,400
reflect on the resurrection and
the Spirit of truth and

285
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,160
Pentecost and all those
wonderful things.

286
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Until next time, thanks again
and don't forget the website

287
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,960
yourrancherradio.org.
God bless and and be of good

288
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,360
cheer.
