The Conceptual Universe
We start with the assumption that the universe is an organized system. We see systems in nature, in patterns, in aggregations of groups, etc. To help grasp the universal concept of order and size, we can use our own earth experiences of systems we use to construct order in society. For example, Earth is but…

BEING A CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM
I guess you could call this a Urantia book anecdote. So, today in the Thoughts to Ponder, they give us a quote from paper 160, and it reads like this. “This new gospel of the kingdom renders a great service to the art of living; in that it supplies a new and richer incentive for…

The Adamic Challenge
Today we have a race problem. On the one hand race matters, on the other, it is not supposed to. What I introduce here is the Urantia Book narrative, which explains that there was an evolutionary leap made half a million years ago when a specific tribe, the last remnants after a century-long battle, began…
Keep readingAre We Ready Yet?
Let’s just pretend the last 100 years didn’t happen, and then suddenly, tonight on the evening news we learn about a spaceship that came out of nowhere, dropped off a few copies of a big blue thick book called Urantia, and then they left. Within a week it would no longer be news, and most…

A Review Of The Urantia Book
Here is my review of the Urantia Book, a book I have read through at least three times and have studied continuously since 1982. I have written two books about it, and have been hosting a podcast centered around its teachings since 2017. I have also hosted a website since 2015 called where I contnue…

The Value of Personality
A video blog covering Paper 16 (The Seven Master Spirits). In section 8 on the Human Personality, the Revelators explain the connection between the human personality and the spirit fragment of God, how the unique aspect of human personality, a divine endowment, unifies the human mind and the spirit as we go about living. This…

A Wired Universe
There are upward of two thousand brilliant suns pouring forth light and energy in (our local system of) Satania, and your own sun is an average blazing orb. Of the thirty suns nearest yours, only three are brighter. The Universe Power Directors initiate the specialized currents of energy which play between the individual stars and…

Materialism
In this video broadcast we discuss the paper in the Urantia Book (Paper 195, sections 5,6 & 7) that addresses head-on the dangers of abject materialism and scientific nihilism that is destructive to human progress.

Adam and Eve: The Real Story
I decided to do an extemporaneous account of Adam and Eve. It’s not really suited for children, but I think it’s a fresh approach to relaying Urantia Book truths to people on a level we can all understand and appreciate. There are many great stories from the Urantia Book that should be told. Let me…

Cosmic Energy Burst – Sounds from Heaven
Urantia Book readers understand that Ensa is the capital of our Minor Sector, which comprises 100 Local Universes, among which the universe of Nebadon, Michael’s local creation, is a part. Minor Sectors are a part of Major Sectors, and there are ten major sectors that comprise our superuniverse of Orvonton, from whose capital Uversa, resides…

Forecasting The Future
How will the Urantia Book community grow over the next one hundred years? What kind of people will the book and the community attract in the decades to come, where will they come from, and what similarities (if any) will they share? One seemingly common attribute Urantia Book readers seem to share is a disdain…

An Argument For God
Why do people choose to be atheists? I think about this question quite a bit. It is curious for me to understand what it is that makes people choose to believe or not to believe in Deity. I have my own personal reason for believing in Deity, but I spend time asking myself what it…

History of the Lucifer Rebellion and why it matters today
Few people know about the Lucifer rebellion as it is narrated in a little known book that was published in 1955. According to the Urantia Book, the Lucifer Rebellion was a real event that broke out around 250,000 years ago. The reason it is captured here and there in the Old and New Testaments is…

Caligastia Wants Us To Fail
If you haven’t had a chance to listen to my most recent podcast, I invite you to listen to it. Byron Belitsos was my guest and we were talking about his new book The Truths About Evil, Sin and The Demonic: An Integral Theodicy. In the interview, I asked Byron “how Caligastia wants all of…

According to the Urantia Book, The Universal Father’s spirit resides in the hearts and minds of all intelligent will…

Gen Z and The Urantia Book
Why Nones Should Love the Urantia Book. Nones are described as unaffiliated people who no longer subscribe to the belief or religion in which they were raised. Many Nones are from the Catholic faith. Many are also unorthodox Jews who come from more liberal Jewish families. It is also easy to see that in today’s…

I just listened to ten reasons to read the UB, and it was good. Unfortunately the narrator made the fatal mistake if lying about the truth about Islam. He said the Quran is a Divine work, which is absolutely false at all levels. Islam is evil, anti-Christ, and at least as bad as Communism or Markism. I know of what i speak, i have studied it for years. Three hundred years after Mohammed died people finally started writing something down as the Quran. Islam is complete submission and fear, Mohammed ruled by terror. UBers constantly try to lump Islam with other religions, impossible, Islam is a political ideology, and sees nothing as credible but Islam. Islam is incapable of reform. Islam must die for Mankind to advance. Islam is the product of collaboration with Caligastia.
I am no supporter of Islam for the reasons you state. Unfortunately, millions of people disagree and they like to behead people. So I will try not to stir a hornet’s nest. I focus on the positive, which is the Urantia Book is a much smarter approach to God.
Dear Steve, thank you. I appreciate your comments. Let me clarify that when I mentioned the Quran as “divine,” my point was that to the followers of Islam, their book is seen as Holy, not that it is.
Thank you for giving me a chance to clarify my statement.
Keep up the great work Jim, your explanations to explain the book in chapters helps me to understand it much more clearly. I purchased your book “the gift” which has helped me explain to my lady what the urantia book is about. I’ve been reading the urantia book since the early 80s.
