The Golden Age

1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Welcome to the Urantia Radio
Podcast, and in a moment we're

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,560
going to talk about the exciting
convention that was in the

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,920
desert recently involving the
Urantia Fellowship.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,640
Also, we'll talk a little bit
more about this concept of the

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,440
Golden Age, and I think that
you'll be very interested to to

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,200
hear what the revelators say
about what we can expect when we

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:32,159
get there.
Welcome back to another edition

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,160
of the Rancho Radio Podcast.
And I want to do a little bit of

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,560
a follow up to the last podcast.
So if you haven't heard the

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,360
previous podcast to this one,
which is all about our sister's

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,720
fear, I would encourage you to
to listen.

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,320
It's chock full of great,
interesting information and it

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120
will blow you away.
And I love reading that part of

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,240
the book.
We delve into what life is like

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,160
on another world.
And Speaking of another world, I

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,879
was just just thrilled to read
about the Urantia Fellowship and

17
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,200
their attendance at the Contact
in the Desert.

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,520
And I have to praise everyone
because they did such a great

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,600
job.
Not only what they did there,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Lynn Goodwin among them, Pamela
Keller and others who were

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,680
there.
There was another article that I

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,960
loved, Taylor Verser and
Diedrich Baker.

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,520
They, they gave their
assessment.

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,560
And what is exciting about it is
that with the growth of

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,240
popularity and curiosity about
UFOs and alien life, which has

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360
been, you know, in the news
lately, you know, and we've

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,680
talked about how there is that
kind of connection with the

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Urantia book because the Urantia
book does substantiate that life

29
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,240
is abundant in the universe and
we are just one planet of many

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,280
and that there is an
evolutionary track to all this.

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,080
We're divinely guided.
And I've always believed, and I

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,800
have to admit that in many ways,
my curiosity about UF OS as a

33
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,040
young person, when I would read
Eric von Daniken and certainly

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,800
when I would watch, you know,
the science fiction that was on

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,880
TV, You know, my curiosity about
the universe was wedded by my

36
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,120
early influences in Ufology.
And my my curiosity, it made it

37
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,480
more acceptable to me to read
the Urantia book in many ways

38
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,720
because the Urantia book
validates this concept.

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,840
Star Wars is another good
example.

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,320
I think one of the reasons it's
so darn popular is because this

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:46,440
idea of life being out in the
universe in abundance offers so

42
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,880
much hope, doesn't it?
Anyway, so to all the folks at

43
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320
the Fellowship, they said there
were a lot of people there, a

44
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,400
lot of influencers, and that the
booth, the Urantia book booth,

45
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,200
got more visits than ever
before.

46
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,400
Or is there something about 30
books were handed out, but there

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,400
were influencers there?
Documentarian Jeremy Nori did an

48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,880
interview which may be floating
out on the Internet at some

49
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,720
point.
We also are told that an

50
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,320
interview was scheduled with
Jeremy Corbel, who has one of

51
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,480
the most popular UFO podcast.
I think, Oh no, no, no, I'm

52
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,440
wrong.
Jeremy Corbel is an investigator

53
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,120
and he is responsible for
bringing active duty military

54
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,960
members to testify in front of
Congress on the reality of

55
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,960
military UFO programs.
They said that Bob Lazar, or

56
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Lazar, who's a filmmaker, got a
chance to hook up with some of

57
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,760
the folks about the Urantia
book.

58
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960
And it it was just an
overwhelming success.

59
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,760
And it's gives me great pleasure
to know that, you know, some of

60
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,680
our brothers and sisters are
starting to get the attention of

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,640
people who are naturally curious
about these things.

62
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,120
And it's a, it's wonderful to
hear.

63
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,920
So again, I want to talk a
little bit about what we touched

64
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,600
on in the last, the idea of, of
progress.

65
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,240
You know, we, if we accept the
fact that our planet, our world

66
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,840
is on a definite course towards
progress, you have to kind of

67
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,600
think about what that progress
means.

68
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,960
How is that progress expressed
on a social level?

69
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,160
In one way is this idea of the
golden age.

70
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,680
You know, we aspire to the
golden age.

71
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,240
Isn't that true?
I think it's true.

72
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,840
I think that deep down inside,
we all hope that all of this

73
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:55,520
striving in the universe,
certainly in our life, we want

74
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400
our grandchildren and their
grandchildren to continues to

75
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560
prosper.
We want there to be peace.

76
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,800
We want wars to end all of these
things.

77
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,240
We want to be healthy.
We want to be happy.

78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,960
I would have to believe that if
you're a human being on this

79
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,960
planet, This is why we're here,
right?

80
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,920
This is what we are striving to
accomplish.

81
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,600
Learning to be better people.
I mean, raising the, the, the

82
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,440
lowering the, the death rate of
children is progress.

83
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,560
Figuring out better ways to
distribute food.

84
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,440
You know, we want a better life
because it's inherent.

85
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,520
It's in US to be perfect even as
our father is perfect.

86
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,560
That that's a driving force,
right?

87
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,560
OK, so the golden age we all
want, we want the golden age.

88
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,360
What is the golden age?
Well, the Urantia book actually

89
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,320
explains what the golden age is
in paper 55, Section 3.

90
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,080
And so it reads that during the
age of light and life.

91
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,680
And by the way, our sister
sphere is striving for that same

92
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,720
goal, a golden age.
So during this age, light and

93
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,880
life, the world increasing
increasingly prospers under the

94
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240
fatherly rule of the Planetary
Sovereign.

95
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:20,120
So who could that be?
In our case it most likely will

96
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,360
either be Christ himself or his
appointed Planetary Sovereign.

97
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,320
In this case, probably likely to
be either Melchizedek or perhaps

98
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,080
even Adam and Eve.
There's another section of the

99
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000
book where they talk about the
fact that it is possible that

100
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960
that as part of the
reconciliation of this world,

101
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,520
that Adam and Eve could be re
allowed to serve as the the

102
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480
sovereign rulers.
That could be so when that day

103
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
is here, the world still has
hospitals.

104
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,600
They write that even in the age
when we have the one language,

105
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,440
the one superior religion that
everybody agrees with, even in

106
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,600
that perfect period there are
still hospitals, homes for the

107
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,600
care of the sick.
There still remain the problems

108
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,600
of caring for accidental
injuries and the inescapable

109
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,720
infirmities attendant upon the
decreptitude of old age and the

110
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,040
disorders of senility.
Even in the golden Age, disease

111
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440
has not been entirely
vanquished, neither have the

112
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,600
earth's animals been subdued in
perfection.

113
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,800
But such worlds are like
paradise in comparison with the

114
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,440
early times of primitive man.
During the pre planetary Prince

115
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,840
age, you would instinctively
describe such a realm.

116
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,640
Could you be suddenly
transported to a planet in this

117
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,760
stage of development as heaven
on earth?

118
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Human government in the conduct
of material affairs continues to

119
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,480
function throughout this age of
relative progress and

120
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,440
perfection.
The public activities in the

121
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,120
world in the first stage of
light and life, which I recently

122
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,680
visited.
So he is telling us that he was

123
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,440
on a planet that had entered
that first stage and what he saw

124
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960
and he mentioned something
that's interesting because he

125
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,480
says, when I visited this other
planet, you know, they were

126
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,240
still they still had an economy
financing, but their system was

127
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840
that every adult worker
contributed 10% of their wages

128
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,920
to the public treasury.
And that was like out of

129
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,320
nowhere, they all of a sudden
start talking about even in this

130
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,080
advanced age, societies
developed to the point where

131
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,760
everybody starts to help one
another.

132
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,159
And he goes into detail about it
and says, well, here's how it

133
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:50,360
worked out. 3% of everybody's
adult that worked, 3% of their

134
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,320
wages would be expended to the
promotion of truth, science,

135
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,400
education and philosophy. 3%
would be devoted to beauty,

136
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,560
play, social, leisure and art.
3% dedicated to goodness, social

137
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,600
service, altruism and religion.
And then 1% would be assigned to

138
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,040
the insurance reserves against
the risk of incapacity from

139
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,360
labor in like you get into an
accident.

140
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,680
So they, so he's, he's telling
us that, that in the, in that

141
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:25,440
first stage when mankind is
really gotten its act together,

142
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,880
one problem that they solve
through this 10% taxation is

143
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,720
that all of these services that
we need are funded by us.

144
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,360
I, I just think that's
interesting.

145
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,160
It's it's, it's literal too.
You know, it's like practical.

146
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,360
They're telling us something
that actually it's true.

147
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,960
You know, if if you were to
bring somebody who lived in 1000

148
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880
AD to where we are today, they
would, they wouldn't be able to

149
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,360
comprehend how we were able to
do what we were able to do.

150
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,760
But we still work and we still
pay taxes and we, you know, we

151
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,640
still farm the land.
So even in a, in a much more

152
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,680
progressive age, there will
still be some certain

153
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,400
fundamentals within society that
we'll always have to deal with

154
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,600
as mortals.
And you know, to me, that

155
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,800
legitimizes the message that
don't think for a moment that

156
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,840
when you get to the perfect age
of mankind, that all of our

157
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,760
needs will be met and nothing
will go wrong and everything

158
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,480
will be perfect because it won't
be.

159
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,080
We're still going to be dealing
with disease, even with the best

160
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,680
scientists.
We'll still be dealing with

161
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,040
trying to find cures to things
like cancer and so forth.

162
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,080
And, and we'll still have to
work.

163
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,760
We'll still have to provide for
each other.

164
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,800
In a functioning society, none
of that goes away.

165
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Sometimes people have a false
sense that when we get to

166
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,400
heaven, that suddenly everything
will be great.

167
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,200
We'll just be sitting around
eating ice cream, you know,

168
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,840
telling God how much we love him
and that that just that's

169
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,320
childlike it.
It's not that's not an adult way

170
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,320
to look at life.
A realistic, you know, the

171
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,280
universe is administrated.
It's not just like a pinball

172
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,440
floating, bouncing around from
bumper to bumper with no clear

173
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,800
direction.
It's intelligently designed.

174
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,480
And I love that concept.
Thank you for this time that

175
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,840
we've spent together.
