What Truth is Revealed In The Urantia Book?
In this episode, we look at the helpful information the Urantia Book offers to aid us in this time of epochal social transition, and what basic truths the book is revealing.
1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
And welcome to another edition
of the Urancha Radio Podcast.
2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,600
I am your host, Jim Watkins, and
today it won't be a long
3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,520
podcast, but I did want to pass
along what I think is some
4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,040
really good information.
We've got a spotlight series
5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,320
that I am fortunate and humble
enough to be hosting for the
6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,480
folks over at the Urancha
Foundation, so I'm excited about
7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,560
that.
I'll share that with you.
8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,800
Also, I got an interesting
e-mail from a close friend about
9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,760
the podcast and I want to
address some of it and some
10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,360
things about the way that Jesus
taught the truth and what we can
11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,120
learn from his example.
And then I've also posted a new
12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,320
article on my website
urantiaradio.net, and it talks
13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,360
about the importance of the
Urantia book in this day and
14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,920
age.
So we'll get to all that in just
15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,560
a moment here on the Urantia
Radio Podcast.
16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Don't ask me exactly how I can
explain this or the science
17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,960
behind it, but you're listening
to what the astronomers have
18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:20,560
picked up as audio signals from
the Sagittarius energy field.
19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,920
And I think the Sagittarius
constellation is where the
20
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,520
headquarters world of Salvington
is.
21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Can somebody please correct me
on that?
22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120
I'd like to know if if that's an
accurate statement.
23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,240
I believe it is.
I I believe they say that the
24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,560
the energy epicenter of Nebedon
is in the Sagittarius star
25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,920
system.
So I that's the sound of audio
26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:59,550
or energy coming from
Sagittarius and amazing when
27
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:04,040
it's beautiful in a lot of ways.
I'm just sorry it's in mono.
28
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,680
I wish it was in stereo.
Welcome, welcome to the Urantia
29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Radio Podcast and I am excited
about something coming up that
30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,320
will be on this Saturday.
So today is the 11th, I think
31
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,000
it's the 13th and I'm going to
do a spotlight series on the
32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Urantia Foundation's Spotlight
series series.
33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,680
And if you want to find out, if
you want to listen, I think it's
34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,840
at 12:00 or 12:00 PM on
Saturday, January 13th, that's
35
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Eastern Time.
If you live in another time
36
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,240
zone, I think it's 11:00 AM
Central and 9:00 AM Pacific.
37
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,760
And I'm going to be talking
about mental illness and some
38
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,560
things that I picked up on the
Arrancha book about the way that
39
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,960
they address mental illness.
And and it's built around paper.
40
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:03,040
I think it's 61 or paper 161
where Jesus meets a little boy
41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,840
or a boy in the hills and the
boy is very troubled and very
42
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840
anxious and he avoids his
friends.
43
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,080
And Jesus picks up on this when
he meets him alone in the hills
44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
and tries to engage in the young
lad.
45
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,560
And he finally does win the boy
over to him and opens him up and
46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,600
and then gives him what I think
is really great advice on how to
47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,840
overcome anxiety and fear in the
world.
48
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,120
And I got to thinking about how
much money and resources and
49
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240
time and effort goes into
treating people who are
50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,240
suffering from anxiety and fear,
which is natural because we are
51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,640
animal origin beings and animals
are naturally fearful and throw
52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,480
in a little intelligence and
some consciousness in there and
53
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
you've got some potential for
real problems.
54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,880
And the arrange book also says
many times that the world is
55
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
very unsettling right now
because it's going through such
56
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,440
a a drastic transition.
I think in paper 195 it says man
57
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,600
is unsettled and naturally
because for thousands of years
58
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,640
things just sort of went at a
steady pace.
59
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Not much change from generation,
or every once in a while there'd
60
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,279
be some epical change, but by
and large everything was on a
61
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320
steady course.
But then all the sudden the 19th
62
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,160
century happened and we were off
and running.
63
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880
And the world is very complex.
And when you see people that are
64
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,880
out on the street or homeless or
suffering from anxiety or all
65
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,320
kinds of different disorders,
you start to realize that this
66
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,440
shift to this, this transition
is not easy on people.
67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160
And This is why I think many
people can't, at least in our
68
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
country, they have trouble.
And how does our society
69
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,800
respond?
Well, take this a lot of
70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,840
problems that we have, our
addiction problems and what do
71
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,040
we do to fix that?
We prescribe more drugs.
72
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,680
I think everybody statistically
is on something these days and
73
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,400
and and it's not helping.
And that's my point is that I, I
74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,080
I'm involved in a lot of news
and information gathering for
75
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,600
another podcast that I do.
And almost every time there's a
76
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,240
shooting or some sort of mass
violence attack, it's typically
77
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,360
mostly done by somebody who is
is actually being treated for
78
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,160
mental illness.
And then there's a lot of
79
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,320
studies out the one particular
that I read twice is Doctor
80
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,160
Thomas Staz's report in the
1960s that he believes that a
81
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
lot of mental illness is
directly tied to anxiety and
82
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,120
fear, anxiety and fear.
And the Urantia Book has all of
83
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,200
these incredible statements
about how the powers that can be
84
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,160
unlocked from the reservoirs of
the human mind if we allow the
85
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,720
spirit to play a role in some of
our problem solving.
86
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,200
And so that's what the
presentation is about.
87
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
It's taking some of the
statements from the Orangi book
88
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960
and applying them and and then
asking the question, should
89
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,760
psychiatry, should big Pharma?
Should counselors?
90
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Should people who are in the in
the business of therapy
91
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,520
providing therapy to their
patients, doctors, counselors,
92
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,600
case managers, maybe they should
take a look at what the Orantia
93
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,240
book is saying, which is that
people are also spirit into well
94
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
beings.
And that spirit has a lot of
95
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,640
potential, a lot of potential in
helping us again unlock the
96
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,800
powers within ourselves.
So if you read Alone in the
97
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Hills, that paragraph with Jesus
and the young man, you'll
98
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520
understand the premise of the
The Spotlight series and I'm
99
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,960
doing and I hope you'll join me
for it.
100
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,400
You know, I enjoy putting it
together and and I really would
101
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
love it if you could come on
over to the Foundation and watch
102
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
it.
If you go to theurencha.org, I'm
103
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880
sure you'll find something about
the Spotlight series.
104
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,880
And I again, it's Saturday the
13th of January.
105
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,200
If I got that right.
What is today?
106
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Today is the 11th, So yeah, it
would be the 13th at noon or
107
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,320
1:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM
Eastern, noon Central, and then
108
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,840
10:00 AM Pacific.
And if you're in Brazil, or if
109
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,720
you're in Jerusalem or
somewhere, the Netherlands,
110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Canada, you'll have to do
whatever you do to come out
111
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,840
right?
And and I think they'll have a
112
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,240
copy of it too.
So, you know.
113
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Anyway, what else is going on?
Oh, I wrote a new article which
114
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,640
is up on my Urantra radio.net,
and it just sort of came out one
115
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,360
day and I and I just said, you
know what?
116
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
117
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Why is it that we are not using
the Arrancha book to help us
118
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520
solve all the problems going on
in our world today?
119
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840
And I want to read through a
paper on that and and show you
120
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360
what I'm talking about because
it seems like the world is not
121
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,960
getting any less stressful.
And in fact, a lot of people are
122
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040
very nervous about the world
right now.
123
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760
The elections are coming up.
That creates its own set of
124
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440
tensions.
We've got these wars, We've got
125
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880
wars and rumors of wars.
A lot of Christians, a lot of
126
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,160
people that I know of the
Christian faith are really
127
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,800
convinced that if these, not, if
these are not the end times,
128
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,679
they are certainly epical times.
And and I believe that the
129
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Arrancha book couldn't help
solve a lot of our problems.
130
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,120
And I'm going to get to that.
But I got an e-mail this week
131
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,120
where someone was talking to me
about the Arrancha Podcast and
132
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
they said, you know, Jim, I've
known you forever.
133
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,720
And I don't know much about the
Arrancha book, but I I listened
134
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640
to a couple of your podcast and
I just don't understand what the
135
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,200
Arrancha Book is about.
And I went, wow, that's a
136
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,840
profound statement, right?
Here I am, 150 episodes in.
137
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Well over 100,000 people have
listened to these podcasts.
138
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,320
I get all these nice emails from
people, thank you for this,
139
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,960
Thank you for that.
But then I get somebody who I
140
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,120
know and knows me and and
they've taken the time to listen
141
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,080
and they say, I don't get it,
what What is, what is the book?
142
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,000
What what?
What are you trying to tell us?
143
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,960
So this comes into my thoughts
to ponder. e-mail today and I'll
144
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520
read it to you because this is
in a nutshell, what the Arrancha
145
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,960
book is all about.
The material universe is always
146
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,600
the arena wherein takes place.
All spiritual activities, spirit
147
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,560
beings and spirit ascenders,
live and work on physical
148
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,120
spheres of material reality.
That's from paper 12, Section 8,
149
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,480
paragraph one.
So that's the premise of the
150
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Uranja book.
They say, well, what do you
151
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,800
mean, what's what do you mean?
That's the premise.
152
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,120
OK, well, what do people really
need to know right now?
153
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,840
What is it that people in the
mainstream, in the main, young
154
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,960
people, nuns, what are they
really searching for?
155
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,040
If we accept the premise of the
Urantia Book, which is that
156
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,880
we're all spiritually endowed by
our spirit Creator Father, with
157
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,320
whom we can have a relationship
with, because his actual spirit
158
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,800
presence is in us, in the
citadel of our minds.
159
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,600
And then we have the spirit of
truth, which is the spirit that
160
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,200
comes from the bestowal Son,
Christ Michael.
161
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240
And then we have the Holy
Spirit, which originates from
162
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,440
the daughter of the infinite
spirit, Michael's wife,
163
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,040
spiritual partner for eternity.
So all of these spirit
164
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,720
influences are coming into us,
but we're not either detecting
165
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200
them or we're not tuned to them,
or we're not hearing them as
166
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,960
effectively.
Maybe it's because of all the
167
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,680
noise.
Maybe it's because we live in a
168
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,640
material age, but when you think
about the article that I wrote,
169
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,400
which is that this Erantia book
is an epical revelation that
170
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,440
that's saying something because
it compares it to the Calagasia
171
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,360
arrival and the 100 who later
went on to become the Nodites
172
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,160
from the Bible.
And then we have Adam and Eve
173
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,800
with the epical revelation,
these two spiritual beings
174
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,640
coming to our world to up step
us biologically and spiritually.
175
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160
And then we have Melchizedek who
shows up one day around 2000
176
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280
years ago and starts setting up
a school and teaching
177
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
monotheism.
Monotheism was introduced and it
178
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760
carried on.
And Abraham was the the great
179
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,360
ambassador of that that great
religion that was bestowed by
180
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,360
him from a an intelligent
spiritual personality that was
181
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,000
an epical revelation.
And then, of course, it was to
182
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,960
prepare the world for the next
epical revelation, which was the
183
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,680
Bestowal Son, Jesus of Nazareth.
And the Urantia Book restates
184
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:12,680
all of these epical revelations.
And then it is of itself is an
185
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,000
epical revelation, because it's
revealing to us what what is the
186
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,520
Urantia Book revealing to us
what is its epical import?
187
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,640
That we're not alone, that our
universe is not accidental.
188
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240
That we are not just drifting
through space on a spinning ball
189
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,640
without purpose, without reason.
There's a great comedian.
190
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640
I'll have to try to find it.
And he's talking about people
191
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160
who believe that the universe
came from nothing.
192
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,920
And then when we die, we we all
go back to nothing.
193
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,960
And the guy says so.
What you're saying is that the
194
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,360
universe was created by nothing.
And when we die, we go back to
195
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,680
the Creator, who is nothing.
Now he of course is being
196
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,320
facetious about it, but his
point is made.
197
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,160
How could we possibly discard
religion as fables and mystery
198
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,240
and superstition, but at the
same time adopt A philosophy
199
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,200
that is not only inconsistent
with science, which that
200
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680
something can come from nothing,
but then we also take the
201
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,040
scientific, materialistic
attitude that nothing has
202
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,240
purpose, that this is all just
inconsequential, that which one
203
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520
is the greater fable?
Which one is harder to believe?
204
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,680
So the Uranja book is asserting
that there's life outside of our
205
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,920
own solar system.
It gives us an origination of
206
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,880
our solar parents.
It talks about the beginnings of
207
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:52,240
our creation itself, our local
area of creation, and it gives
208
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,840
us a conceptual space to work
with.
209
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120
So when you hear this line
again, I'll read it from paper
210
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,040
12, Section 8.
The material universe is always
211
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,040
the arena wherein takes place
all spiritual activities, spirit
212
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,760
beings and spirit ascenders that
would be us live and work on
213
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,040
physical spheres of material
reality.
214
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Now in my article that you can
read at urantraradio.net says
215
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,480
that Jesus introduced the idea
of a spiritual Kingdom and so
216
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,640
he's perforce saying my Kingdom
is of another sphere or another
217
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,520
world or another place, and what
he's referring to is the
218
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,360
universe of his creation, which
is the universe that we live in.
219
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,480
That's a conceptual
presentation.
220
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,880
So the Urantia Book picks up
where Christ left off, and I
221
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,520
explained in the article that
the the Revelators thought that
222
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,000
we had enough people on our
world that were advanced enough
223
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,840
now that we could start to take
in this information and we could
224
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
put some context into what life
is all about.
225
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320
One of the things that I find
very interesting about the
226
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:21,640
beginning of part three of the
book is its explanation of how
227
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080
Christ Michael was assigned a
region of space that was
228
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,000
basically void.
In fact, do I have time to read
229
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,200
it?
It's quite funny actually, But
230
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,440
let me let me see if I can find
it.
231
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Stand by.
All right, I found it.
232
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520
It's from paper 57 and it's it's
the beginning of Part 3 which
233
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800
talks about the origin of your
ranch in the history of our
234
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,200
world.
And it writes 987 billion years
235
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720
ago, associate force organizer
and then acting inspector number
236
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:58,200
811,307 of the Orvinson series
traveling out from Uversa, which
237
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560
is our central universe,
reported to the ancients of days
238
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,280
that space conditions were
favorable for the initiation of
239
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,520
materialization phenomena in a
certain sector of then the early
240
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,400
easterly segment of Orventon,
which is our central universe.
241
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,560
And then it says 900 million
billion years ago, the Universal
242
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Archives testify, there was
recorded a permit issued by the
243
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,800
University Council of
Equilibrium to the Super
244
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,080
universe government authorizing
the dispatch of a force
245
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,040
organizer and staff to the
region previously designated by
246
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,600
that inspector that we referred
to, Inspector #811 three O 7.
247
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,680
So what they're saying is in the
early beginnings of our local
248
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,840
creation, there was vast space,
but there was nothing in it when
249
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680
it when the Urantia Book talks
about the outer levels of the
250
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,640
universe that are that that have
some form, but they're they lack
251
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,520
energy even though God's
presence is there.
252
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Nothing has yet started to take
place on a materialistic level
253
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,200
or on a level where evolutionary
worlds are starting to appear.
254
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,200
That's not happening yet.
It's kind of like when Lewis and
255
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Clark started exploring the
United States, you know, in its
256
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960
early days, and they were going
out and finding this vast area
257
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,920
of space that was completely
uninhabited.
258
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,160
So this comes across my desk
from science alerts Bizarre
259
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,600
Galaxy Discovered with Seemingly
no stars whatsoever, published
260
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280
January 11th, 2024 by Michelle
Starr.
261
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,880
I get a kick out of out of these
people, right?
262
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,640
Says a newly discovered object
is stretching our understanding
263
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,880
of what constitutes a Galaxy
called Jo 613 + 52.
264
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,840
This massive BLOB of something
some 270 million light years
265
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,000
away appears to have no stars
whatsoever.
266
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,240
At least no one.
None that can be seen.
267
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,720
It's just a haze made of a kind
of gas that's found between
268
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,520
stars in normal galaxies,
drifting around by its lone self
269
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,320
like an absolute badass.
So maybe they have an associate
270
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,880
inspector on its way to issue a
permit, and maybe that will
271
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,560
someday be home to a new local
universe such as our own.
272
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,120
Maybe that's in the workings.
So maybe it's not unusual to
273
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:28,480
have vast areas of space that
are uninhabited.
274
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,960
And remember, the Urantia Book
was written in 19341935, way
275
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,640
ahead of its time.
But it makes my point that The
276
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,920
Urantia Book teaches us things,
and this was the point of my
277
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,200
article, is that right now I
would say that our world needs
278
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,800
and is hungry for truth.
And that truth comes in the form
279
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040
of the 5th Epochal Revelation,
which asserts that we're not
280
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,120
alone in the universe and we
never have been.
281
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,600
We are part of a collective,
organized system and we are
282
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,280
ascenders and we will be
traveling to those shores and
283
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,040
that the universe is physical.
And that is where all the
284
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,320
spiritual activity does indeed
take place.
285
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920
Another thing that I asserted in
my article is that if you just
286
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,720
put aside the spiritual aspects
of the Urantia Book and you just
287
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
focus on, say, the histories,
like the history of our world,
288
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,320
it offers us such great
information, things that we can
289
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,120
actually apply to our world now,
that would correct many of the
290
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,520
problems that we have.
For example, when it talks about
291
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,800
education in Paper 71, he says
the enduring state is founded on
292
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,400
culture, dominated by ideals and
motivated by service.
293
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,200
The purpose of education should
be acquirement of skill, pursuit
294
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,280
of wisdom, realization of
selfhood and attainment of
295
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,040
spiritual values.
Now can you think of any school
296
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,520
that offers any of that says
education is the business of
297
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,560
living?
It must continue throughout a
298
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,840
lifetime so that mankind may
gradually experience the
299
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,880
ascending levels of mortal
wisdom.
300
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Which are the knowledge of
things, the realization of
301
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,440
meanings, the appreciation of
values, the nobility of work,
302
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,000
duty, the motivation of goals,
morality, the love of service,
303
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
character and cosmic insight,
spiritual discernment.
304
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,720
And then, by means of these
achievements, many will ascend
305
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,240
to the mortal ultimate of mind
attainment and God,
306
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,280
consciousness.
Then it goes on to talk about
307
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,640
the characters of statehood.
What makes a good state?
308
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840
The evolution of statehood
entails progress from level to
309
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,800
level, as follows.
The creation of a three
310
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,040
threefold government check.
The freedom of social,
311
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,920
political, and religious
activities kind of there #3 The
312
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,160
abolition of all forms of
slavery and human bondage.
313
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,320
We're not there yet.
The ability of the citizens rate
314
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,000
to control the levying of taxes.
Now you start to ask yourself
315
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,640
why would these revelators go to
the trouble of telling us about
316
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
the characters of statehood
unless they were trying to tell
317
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,600
us what the characters of
statehood are to help in our
318
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,760
development #5.
The establishment of universal
319
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,280
education learning extended from
the cradle to the grape.
320
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,080
If every country in the world
would adopt these, what they are
321
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:35,720
10/11/12, how many are there?
12 The worldwide Vogue of
322
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,000
pursuit of wisdom. 12 ways you
can run a great country.
323
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,840
And that's what I'm talking.
But that's what I'm referring
324
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,720
to, is the fact that we should
take this Urantia book that we
325
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,440
have that has all this wealth of
information and apply it to
326
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,440
solving a lot of our earthly
problems at this time.
327
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,800
And I truly believe, I truly
believe that that was the intent
328
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,880
of the revelation to help man
get to the next level, to move
329
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,960
him farther away from his
animalistic, fear based, anxious
330
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,440
based position.
And I think it's an important
331
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
first step for us to 1st
recognize that we are not alone
332
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,600
and we never were.
And I think every human being on
333
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,760
this planet, if they knew that
basic truth, they just knew that
334
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,840
basic truth.
Their whole world view would
335
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:38,080
change for the better.
All right, well, that's going to
336
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,600
do it.
I'll give you a few minutes to
337
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,760
sort of take all that in.
It's a lot to digest, but I sure
338
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,960
appreciate you stopping by.
Don't forget you can always

00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,400
reach me.

Thank you again for stopping by
341
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:35,160
the
the.
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
And welcome to another edition
of the Urancha Radio Podcast.
2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,600
I am your host, Jim Watkins, and
today it won't be a long
3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,520
podcast, but I did want to pass
along what I think is some
4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,040
really good information.
We've got a spotlight series
5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,320
that I am fortunate and humble
enough to be hosting for the
6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,480
folks over at the Urancha
Foundation, so I'm excited about
7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,560
that.
I'll share that with you.
8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,800
Also, I got an interesting
e-mail from a close friend about
9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,760
the podcast and I want to
address some of it and some
10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,360
things about the way that Jesus
taught the truth and what we can
11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,120
learn from his example.
And then I've also posted a new
12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,320
article on my website
urantiaradio.net, and it talks
13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,360
about the importance of the
Urantia book in this day and
14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,920
age.
So we'll get to all that in just
15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,560
a moment here on the Urantia
Radio Podcast.
16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Don't ask me exactly how I can
explain this or the science
17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,960
behind it, but you're listening
to what the astronomers have
18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:20,560
picked up as audio signals from
the Sagittarius energy field.
19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,920
And I think the Sagittarius
constellation is where the
20
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,520
headquarters world of Salvington
is.
21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,440
Can somebody please correct me
on that?
22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120
I'd like to know if if that's an
accurate statement.
23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,240
I believe it is.
I I believe they say that the
24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,560
the energy epicenter of Nebedon
is in the Sagittarius star
25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,920
system.
So I that's the sound of audio
26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:59,550
or energy coming from
Sagittarius and amazing when
27
00:01:59,550 --> 00:02:04,040
it's beautiful in a lot of ways.
I'm just sorry it's in mono.
28
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,680
I wish it was in stereo.
Welcome, welcome to the Urantia
29
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Radio Podcast and I am excited
about something coming up that
30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,320
will be on this Saturday.
So today is the 11th, I think
31
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,000
it's the 13th and I'm going to
do a spotlight series on the
32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Urantia Foundation's Spotlight
series series.
33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,680
And if you want to find out, if
you want to listen, I think it's
34
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,840
at 12:00 or 12:00 PM on
Saturday, January 13th, that's
35
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,040
Eastern Time.
If you live in another time
36
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,240
zone, I think it's 11:00 AM
Central and 9:00 AM Pacific.
37
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,760
And I'm going to be talking
about mental illness and some
38
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,560
things that I picked up on the
Arrancha book about the way that
39
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,960
they address mental illness.
And and it's built around paper.
40
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:03,040
I think it's 61 or paper 161
where Jesus meets a little boy
41
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,840
or a boy in the hills and the
boy is very troubled and very
42
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840
anxious and he avoids his
friends.
43
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,080
And Jesus picks up on this when
he meets him alone in the hills
44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
and tries to engage in the young
lad.
45
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,560
And he finally does win the boy
over to him and opens him up and
46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,600
and then gives him what I think
is really great advice on how to
47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,840
overcome anxiety and fear in the
world.
48
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,120
And I got to thinking about how
much money and resources and
49
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240
time and effort goes into
treating people who are
50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,240
suffering from anxiety and fear,
which is natural because we are
51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,640
animal origin beings and animals
are naturally fearful and throw
52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,480
in a little intelligence and
some consciousness in there and
53
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
you've got some potential for
real problems.
54
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,880
And the arrange book also says
many times that the world is
55
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560
very unsettling right now
because it's going through such
56
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,440
a a drastic transition.
I think in paper 195 it says man
57
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,600
is unsettled and naturally
because for thousands of years
58
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,640
things just sort of went at a
steady pace.
59
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Not much change from generation,
or every once in a while there'd
60
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,279
be some epical change, but by
and large everything was on a
61
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320
steady course.
But then all the sudden the 19th
62
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,160
century happened and we were off
and running.
63
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880
And the world is very complex.
And when you see people that are
64
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,880
out on the street or homeless or
suffering from anxiety or all
65
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,320
kinds of different disorders,
you start to realize that this
66
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,440
shift to this, this transition
is not easy on people.
67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160
And This is why I think many
people can't, at least in our
68
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
country, they have trouble.
And how does our society
69
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,800
respond?
Well, take this a lot of
70
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,840
problems that we have, our
addiction problems and what do
71
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,040
we do to fix that?
We prescribe more drugs.
72
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,680
I think everybody statistically
is on something these days and
73
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,400
and and it's not helping.
And that's my point is that I, I
74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,080
I'm involved in a lot of news
and information gathering for
75
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,600
another podcast that I do.
And almost every time there's a
76
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,240
shooting or some sort of mass
violence attack, it's typically
77
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,360
mostly done by somebody who is
is actually being treated for
78
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,160
mental illness.
And then there's a lot of
79
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,320
studies out the one particular
that I read twice is Doctor
80
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,160
Thomas Staz's report in the
1960s that he believes that a
81
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
lot of mental illness is
directly tied to anxiety and
82
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,120
fear, anxiety and fear.
And the Urantia Book has all of
83
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,200
these incredible statements
about how the powers that can be
84
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,160
unlocked from the reservoirs of
the human mind if we allow the
85
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,720
spirit to play a role in some of
our problem solving.
86
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,200
And so that's what the
presentation is about.
87
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
It's taking some of the
statements from the Orangi book
88
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960
and applying them and and then
asking the question, should
89
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,760
psychiatry, should big Pharma?
Should counselors?
90
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,920
Should people who are in the in
the business of therapy
91
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,520
providing therapy to their
patients, doctors, counselors,
92
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,600
case managers, maybe they should
take a look at what the Orantia
93
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,240
book is saying, which is that
people are also spirit into well
94
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
beings.
And that spirit has a lot of
95
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,640
potential, a lot of potential in
helping us again unlock the
96
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,800
powers within ourselves.
So if you read Alone in the
97
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Hills, that paragraph with Jesus
and the young man, you'll
98
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,520
understand the premise of the
The Spotlight series and I'm
99
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,960
doing and I hope you'll join me
for it.
100
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,400
You know, I enjoy putting it
together and and I really would
101
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
love it if you could come on
over to the Foundation and watch
102
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560
it.
If you go to theurencha.org, I'm
103
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,880
sure you'll find something about
the Spotlight series.
104
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,880
And I again, it's Saturday the
13th of January.
105
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:10,200
If I got that right.
What is today?
106
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Today is the 11th, So yeah, it
would be the 13th at noon or
107
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,320
1:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM
Eastern, noon Central, and then
108
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,840
10:00 AM Pacific.
And if you're in Brazil, or if
109
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,720
you're in Jerusalem or
somewhere, the Netherlands,
110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Canada, you'll have to do
whatever you do to come out
111
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,840
right?
And and I think they'll have a
112
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,240
copy of it too.
So, you know.
113
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Anyway, what else is going on?
Oh, I wrote a new article which
114
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,640
is up on my Urantra radio.net,
and it just sort of came out one
115
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,360
day and I and I just said, you
know what?
116
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Enough is enough.
Enough is enough.
117
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Why is it that we are not using
the Arrancha book to help us
118
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520
solve all the problems going on
in our world today?
119
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840
And I want to read through a
paper on that and and show you
120
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,360
what I'm talking about because
it seems like the world is not
121
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,960
getting any less stressful.
And in fact, a lot of people are
122
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040
very nervous about the world
right now.
123
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760
The elections are coming up.
That creates its own set of
124
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440
tensions.
We've got these wars, We've got
125
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880
wars and rumors of wars.
A lot of Christians, a lot of
126
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,160
people that I know of the
Christian faith are really
127
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,800
convinced that if these, not, if
these are not the end times,
128
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,679
they are certainly epical times.
And and I believe that the
129
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Arrancha book couldn't help
solve a lot of our problems.
130
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,120
And I'm going to get to that.
But I got an e-mail this week
131
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,120
where someone was talking to me
about the Arrancha Podcast and
132
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,320
they said, you know, Jim, I've
known you forever.
133
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,720
And I don't know much about the
Arrancha book, but I I listened
134
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640
to a couple of your podcast and
I just don't understand what the
135
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,200
Arrancha Book is about.
And I went, wow, that's a
136
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,840
profound statement, right?
Here I am, 150 episodes in.
137
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Well over 100,000 people have
listened to these podcasts.
138
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,320
I get all these nice emails from
people, thank you for this,
139
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,960
Thank you for that.
But then I get somebody who I
140
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,120
know and knows me and and
they've taken the time to listen
141
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,080
and they say, I don't get it,
what What is, what is the book?
142
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,000
What what?
What are you trying to tell us?
143
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,960
So this comes into my thoughts
to ponder. e-mail today and I'll
144
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520
read it to you because this is
in a nutshell, what the Arrancha
145
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,960
book is all about.
The material universe is always
146
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,600
the arena wherein takes place.
All spiritual activities, spirit
147
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,560
beings and spirit ascenders,
live and work on physical
148
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,120
spheres of material reality.
That's from paper 12, Section 8,
149
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,480
paragraph one.
So that's the premise of the
150
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Uranja book.
They say, well, what do you
151
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,800
mean, what's what do you mean?
That's the premise.
152
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,120
OK, well, what do people really
need to know right now?
153
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,840
What is it that people in the
mainstream, in the main, young
154
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,960
people, nuns, what are they
really searching for?
155
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,040
If we accept the premise of the
Urantia Book, which is that
156
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,880
we're all spiritually endowed by
our spirit Creator Father, with
157
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,320
whom we can have a relationship
with, because his actual spirit
158
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,800
presence is in us, in the
citadel of our minds.
159
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,600
And then we have the spirit of
truth, which is the spirit that
160
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,200
comes from the bestowal Son,
Christ Michael.
161
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,240
And then we have the Holy
Spirit, which originates from
162
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,440
the daughter of the infinite
spirit, Michael's wife,
163
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,040
spiritual partner for eternity.
So all of these spirit
164
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,720
influences are coming into us,
but we're not either detecting
165
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200
them or we're not tuned to them,
or we're not hearing them as
166
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,960
effectively.
Maybe it's because of all the
167
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,680
noise.
Maybe it's because we live in a
168
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,640
material age, but when you think
about the article that I wrote,
169
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,400
which is that this Erantia book
is an epical revelation that
170
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,440
that's saying something because
it compares it to the Calagasia
171
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,360
arrival and the 100 who later
went on to become the Nodites
172
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,160
from the Bible.
And then we have Adam and Eve
173
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,800
with the epical revelation,
these two spiritual beings
174
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,640
coming to our world to up step
us biologically and spiritually.
175
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,160
And then we have Melchizedek who
shows up one day around 2000
176
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280
years ago and starts setting up
a school and teaching
177
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
monotheism.
Monotheism was introduced and it
178
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760
carried on.
And Abraham was the the great
179
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,360
ambassador of that that great
religion that was bestowed by
180
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,360
him from a an intelligent
spiritual personality that was
181
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,000
an epical revelation.
And then, of course, it was to
182
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,960
prepare the world for the next
epical revelation, which was the
183
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:06,680
Bestowal Son, Jesus of Nazareth.
And the Urantia Book restates
184
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:12,680
all of these epical revelations.
And then it is of itself is an
185
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,000
epical revelation, because it's
revealing to us what what is the
186
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,520
Urantia Book revealing to us
what is its epical import?
187
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,640
That we're not alone, that our
universe is not accidental.
188
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,240
That we are not just drifting
through space on a spinning ball
189
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,640
without purpose, without reason.
There's a great comedian.
190
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,640
I'll have to try to find it.
And he's talking about people
191
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160
who believe that the universe
came from nothing.
192
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,920
And then when we die, we we all
go back to nothing.
193
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,960
And the guy says so.
What you're saying is that the
194
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,360
universe was created by nothing.
And when we die, we go back to
195
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,680
the Creator, who is nothing.
Now he of course is being
196
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,320
facetious about it, but his
point is made.
197
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,160
How could we possibly discard
religion as fables and mystery
198
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,240
and superstition, but at the
same time adopt A philosophy
199
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,200
that is not only inconsistent
with science, which that
200
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680
something can come from nothing,
but then we also take the
201
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,040
scientific, materialistic
attitude that nothing has
202
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,240
purpose, that this is all just
inconsequential, that which one
203
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520
is the greater fable?
Which one is harder to believe?
204
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,680
So the Uranja book is asserting
that there's life outside of our
205
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,920
own solar system.
It gives us an origination of
206
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,880
our solar parents.
It talks about the beginnings of
207
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:52,240
our creation itself, our local
area of creation, and it gives
208
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,840
us a conceptual space to work
with.
209
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120
So when you hear this line
again, I'll read it from paper
210
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,040
12, Section 8.
The material universe is always
211
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,040
the arena wherein takes place
all spiritual activities, spirit
212
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,760
beings and spirit ascenders that
would be us live and work on
213
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,040
physical spheres of material
reality.
214
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Now in my article that you can
read at urantraradio.net says
215
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,480
that Jesus introduced the idea
of a spiritual Kingdom and so
216
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,640
he's perforce saying my Kingdom
is of another sphere or another
217
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,520
world or another place, and what
he's referring to is the
218
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,360
universe of his creation, which
is the universe that we live in.
219
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,480
That's a conceptual
presentation.
220
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,880
So the Urantia Book picks up
where Christ left off, and I
221
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,520
explained in the article that
the the Revelators thought that
222
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,000
we had enough people on our
world that were advanced enough
223
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,840
now that we could start to take
in this information and we could
224
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680
put some context into what life
is all about.
225
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320
One of the things that I find
very interesting about the
226
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:21,640
beginning of part three of the
book is its explanation of how
227
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080
Christ Michael was assigned a
region of space that was
228
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,000
basically void.
In fact, do I have time to read
229
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,200
it?
It's quite funny actually, But
230
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,440
let me let me see if I can find
it.
231
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Stand by.
All right, I found it.
232
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520
It's from paper 57 and it's it's
the beginning of Part 3 which
233
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800
talks about the origin of your
ranch in the history of our
234
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,200
world.
And it writes 987 billion years
235
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720
ago, associate force organizer
and then acting inspector number
236
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:58,200
811,307 of the Orvinson series
traveling out from Uversa, which
237
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560
is our central universe,
reported to the ancients of days
238
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,280
that space conditions were
favorable for the initiation of
239
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,520
materialization phenomena in a
certain sector of then the early
240
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,400
easterly segment of Orventon,
which is our central universe.
241
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,560
And then it says 900 million
billion years ago, the Universal
242
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Archives testify, there was
recorded a permit issued by the
243
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,800
University Council of
Equilibrium to the Super
244
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,080
universe government authorizing
the dispatch of a force
245
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,040
organizer and staff to the
region previously designated by
246
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,600
that inspector that we referred
to, Inspector #811 three O 7.
247
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,680
So what they're saying is in the
early beginnings of our local
248
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,840
creation, there was vast space,
but there was nothing in it when
249
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680
it when the Urantia Book talks
about the outer levels of the
250
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,640
universe that are that that have
some form, but they're they lack
251
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,520
energy even though God's
presence is there.
252
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Nothing has yet started to take
place on a materialistic level
253
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,200
or on a level where evolutionary
worlds are starting to appear.
254
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,200
That's not happening yet.
It's kind of like when Lewis and
255
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Clark started exploring the
United States, you know, in its
256
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960
early days, and they were going
out and finding this vast area
257
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,920
of space that was completely
uninhabited.
258
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,160
So this comes across my desk
from science alerts Bizarre
259
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,600
Galaxy Discovered with Seemingly
no stars whatsoever, published
260
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280
January 11th, 2024 by Michelle
Starr.
261
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,880
I get a kick out of out of these
people, right?
262
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,640
Says a newly discovered object
is stretching our understanding
263
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,880
of what constitutes a Galaxy
called Jo 613 + 52.
264
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,840
This massive BLOB of something
some 270 million light years
265
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,000
away appears to have no stars
whatsoever.
266
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,240
At least no one.
None that can be seen.
267
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,720
It's just a haze made of a kind
of gas that's found between
268
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,520
stars in normal galaxies,
drifting around by its lone self
269
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,320
like an absolute badass.
So maybe they have an associate
270
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,880
inspector on its way to issue a
permit, and maybe that will
271
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,560
someday be home to a new local
universe such as our own.
272
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,120
Maybe that's in the workings.
So maybe it's not unusual to
273
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:28,480
have vast areas of space that
are uninhabited.
274
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,960
And remember, the Urantia Book
was written in 19341935, way
275
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,640
ahead of its time.
But it makes my point that The
276
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,920
Urantia Book teaches us things,
and this was the point of my
277
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,200
article, is that right now I
would say that our world needs
278
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,800
and is hungry for truth.
And that truth comes in the form
279
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040
of the 5th Epochal Revelation,
which asserts that we're not
280
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,120
alone in the universe and we
never have been.
281
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,600
We are part of a collective,
organized system and we are
282
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,280
ascenders and we will be
traveling to those shores and
283
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,040
that the universe is physical.
And that is where all the
284
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,320
spiritual activity does indeed
take place.
285
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920
Another thing that I asserted in
my article is that if you just
286
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,720
put aside the spiritual aspects
of the Urantia Book and you just
287
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
focus on, say, the histories,
like the history of our world,
288
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,320
it offers us such great
information, things that we can
289
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,120
actually apply to our world now,
that would correct many of the
290
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,520
problems that we have.
For example, when it talks about
291
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,800
education in Paper 71, he says
the enduring state is founded on
292
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,400
culture, dominated by ideals and
motivated by service.
293
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,200
The purpose of education should
be acquirement of skill, pursuit
294
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,280
of wisdom, realization of
selfhood and attainment of
295
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,040
spiritual values.
Now can you think of any school
296
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,520
that offers any of that says
education is the business of
297
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,560
living?
It must continue throughout a
298
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,840
lifetime so that mankind may
gradually experience the
299
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,880
ascending levels of mortal
wisdom.
300
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Which are the knowledge of
things, the realization of
301
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,440
meanings, the appreciation of
values, the nobility of work,
302
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,000
duty, the motivation of goals,
morality, the love of service,
303
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
character and cosmic insight,
spiritual discernment.
304
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,720
And then, by means of these
achievements, many will ascend
305
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,240
to the mortal ultimate of mind
attainment and God,
306
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,280
consciousness.
Then it goes on to talk about
307
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,640
the characters of statehood.
What makes a good state?
308
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840
The evolution of statehood
entails progress from level to
309
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,800
level, as follows.
The creation of a three
310
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,040
threefold government check.
The freedom of social,
311
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,920
political, and religious
activities kind of there #3 The
312
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,160
abolition of all forms of
slavery and human bondage.
313
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,320
We're not there yet.
The ability of the citizens rate
314
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,000
to control the levying of taxes.
Now you start to ask yourself
315
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,640
why would these revelators go to
the trouble of telling us about
316
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
the characters of statehood
unless they were trying to tell
317
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,600
us what the characters of
statehood are to help in our
318
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,760
development #5.
The establishment of universal
319
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,280
education learning extended from
the cradle to the grape.
320
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,080
If every country in the world
would adopt these, what they are
321
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:35,720
10/11/12, how many are there?
12 The worldwide Vogue of
322
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,000
pursuit of wisdom. 12 ways you
can run a great country.
323
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,840
And that's what I'm talking.
But that's what I'm referring
324
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,720
to, is the fact that we should
take this Urantia book that we
325
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,440
have that has all this wealth of
information and apply it to
326
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,440
solving a lot of our earthly
problems at this time.
327
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,800
And I truly believe, I truly
believe that that was the intent
328
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,880
of the revelation to help man
get to the next level, to move
329
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,960
him farther away from his
animalistic, fear based, anxious
330
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,440
based position.
And I think it's an important
331
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920
first step for us to 1st
recognize that we are not alone
332
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,600
and we never were.
And I think every human being on
333
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,760
this planet, if they knew that
basic truth, they just knew that
334
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,840
basic truth.
Their whole world view would
335
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:38,080
change for the better.
All right, well, that's going to
336
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,600
do it.
I'll give you a few minutes to
337
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,760
sort of take all that in.
It's a lot to digest, but I sure
338
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,960
appreciate you stopping by.
