Well, you've managed to arrive at another episode of the
0:03
Arancho Radio podcast and I'm very happy that you've stopped
0:06
by. My name is Jim Watkins, a long
0:09
time your Rancho book reader and long time host going into our
0:12
third year I believe, of the Arancho Radio podcast.
0:15
So I'm so happy that you're going to join us today.
0:18
We have a lot to talk about. I'm very excited, first of all
0:21
to tell you that I finally I missed my deadline by about a
0:24
month. But I got it going and I've got
0:27
my second book out that I've written about the Arancho book
0:30
and I call it the Gift and I'll tell you why I wrote it.
0:34
I'll just be tell you a brief story about why I wrote it, what
0:37
I hope to accomplish and why you may want to buy it and read it
0:42
and enjoy it yourself. Plus I also want to talk about
0:45
the home life of Adam and Eve. I was reading some papers a
0:50
couple of days ago and it ties into a greater point that I wish
0:54
to make about how we go about convincing the world that we
1:00
have a revelation. So we'll talk about that.
1:03
Also a couple of things that are coming up I wanted to share with
1:06
you. Next year in late February,
1:09
there's going to be a Your Rancho Book weekend retreat that
1:12
will be taking place in Florida. It'll be hosted by Paul and
1:16
Georgie Krupa. The theme will be The Art of
1:19
Living and it's in Florida and I'll give you the e-mail so you
1:25
can reach out to them and get all the details.
1:28
Cost Where exactly is Parish? Florida.
1:32
I think it's in the Orlando area, but I could be wrong.
1:35
Anyway, it's The Art of Living, so that's probably a really
1:38
great reason to get together with a bunch of fellow Urantia
1:42
book readers. And the e-mail address is
1:44
bannerofmichael@ymailwhichisymail.com So banner of Michael at Ymail.
1:54
It's not Gmail, but ymail.com once again, Banner of Michael at
1:59
ymail.com and that's coming up next February.
2:02
So you got a little bit of time. Also, I've been meaning to do
2:06
this, but I haven't done it. The folks over at the Center for
2:09
Unity, Gabriel Reinberg and the folks that are doing so many
2:13
good things to bring Jesus's life to life, literally they
2:18
have a they have a zoom meeting on the fourth Wednesday of every
2:22
month and it's 10:30 Pacific, 1:30 Eastern and 8:30 Israel.
2:28
That's all same time. So 10:30 AM Pacific, 1:30 PM
2:34
Eastern and 8:30 PM. If you're in the Middle East,
2:37
specifically in Israel or in that time zone.
2:41
And just remember it's the the fourth Wednesday of every month
2:45
and I'll give you also. Well, I guess you could just go.
2:48
The e-mail address is cfu.org. Let me see if I can find that
2:54
better. Hold on just a second.
2:55
Here we go. The e-mail address is Contact at
2:59
the Center for unity.org Contact at the Center for unity.org.
3:07
And we do have a lot to cover in this exciting episode of the
3:11
Rancho Radio Podcast. So hang on,
3:25
I give it a lot of thought about how we are supposed to get
3:27
people to get the Arancho book in their hands and actually
3:31
start reading it. And I am reminded that there was
3:36
something that I think I saw once Chris Halverson, maybe I
3:40
was watching one of the OR listening to one of their study
3:44
groups and Chris is a very smart man.
3:48
He's out there in Boulder. And what he suggested was that
3:52
when you think about the totality of the Arancho book,
3:55
what is what is really the revelation that we're getting?
4:00
Because we have to be all in on this in the sense that if you
4:05
know that you're holding a revelation, you at least should
4:07
know what the purpose of the revelation was.
4:12
And with with that many pages, 2000, almost 2100 pages,
4:16
sometimes that's not so easy to extrapolate.
4:20
So you know, for example, when it goes into detail about how
4:24
many other sons were born of the same nebula that our son came
4:28
from or what earth number, What is the Earth number of Urantia?
4:33
Or you know, when it goes down the list and explains that major
4:37
sectors are comprised of minor sectors which are comprised of
4:42
local universes. And then on down the line and it
4:46
goes into detail about the angels and the differing angels
4:51
and their levels and what they do and and just the variations
4:54
of the different myriads of life.
4:56
And in totality, what is the revelation now, I I hate to
5:03
disappoint, but I don't think that in this generation we're
5:07
going to see a lot of people just suddenly swing into read
5:12
your Ancha book mode. It's just not going to happen.
5:14
It wouldn't be realistic for us to believe that something that
5:17
that's tremendous is going to be picked up and read by many
5:21
people. We are a very tradition bound
5:26
species, The Orancho book says this.
5:28
We are very traditional. Our authority comes from our
5:32
antiquity. And I just don't see in the near
5:35
future that, you know, thousands of Christians are going to flock
5:41
to the Orancho book because to them the Bible and the life of
5:45
Jesus are the same. They're that they, they Revere
5:50
both with the same awe and reverence.
5:54
And that's fine. And I wouldn't want to do
5:56
anything to change that at all. Why would I?
5:58
Why would anybody want to take somebody from their religion
6:01
that they cherish? And they have a wonderful
6:03
relationship with Jesus and they have a wonderful and all of the
6:07
antecedents of that faith. I've sat with some of the my
6:12
closest friends who are devout Christians and I have nothing.
6:17
I would never even want to interfere with that
6:18
relationship. But it's also human nature right
6:23
now where people just aren't going to pick up a 2000 page
6:26
book and just go, oh wow, here, sometimes it hits people,
6:29
sometimes doesn't. But that still doesn't mean we
6:32
don't need to understand what is the concept of the Oranchia
6:36
book. Our job isn't to get people to
6:39
read the Oranchia book. Our job, if we assume the
6:43
responsibility, and that's our choice, is to share the concepts
6:49
of the Oranchia book with people you know.
6:52
I'll give it a good example. Jesus knew who he was.
6:56
He knew he was Michael of Nebadon at the time that he was
7:01
training the the apostles, spending his life with him going
7:05
about preaching the good news and and and the good news was
7:09
the Kingdom of heaven is is in you or within you.
7:13
The good news wasn't Hi, I'm Michael of Nebadon.
7:16
I am this is my 7th Pistole and I'm here to teach you that God
7:21
loves you. You see the difference?
7:24
You wet their whistle with the Kingdom of heaven because that
7:27
is the revelation of the Rancho Book.
7:30
It explains the Kingdom of heaven.
7:32
We now know what the Kingdom of heaven is.
7:36
But instinctively I think people generally recognize that the
7:40
Kingdom of heaven is a place of continual worship and love.
7:44
And and all of this mess from our earth life goes away.
7:49
The disease, the tyranny, the the the sadness from evil that
7:54
comes from evil, the violence, all that goes away.
7:59
But we still have to spiritually and intellectually and morally
8:03
advance. We still have our work cut out
8:05
for us, but we're not dealing with the elements that we deal
8:08
in this first mortal life. In fact, this first mortal life,
8:12
you're lucky if you get ahead just by retaining your faith in
8:16
God. If you can carry that torch
8:18
throughout your life, that is an amazement, especially according
8:22
to the revelators, especially on this world you know, and so our
8:30
job, So what is the revelation? What is the.
8:32
The real revelation? The real revelation to me are
8:35
three things. One, the absolute assurance that
8:40
we are endowed by our Creator. There could be no doubt of that
8:44
we are endowed with His spirit fragment.
8:48
That is the everybody, everybody on this planet that makes a
8:52
moral decision. Whether they acknowledge God in
8:55
their conceptuals, conscious, or if they if they're faithful to
9:00
their religion, doesn't matter. What matters is that the spirit
9:04
of God, our first source and center, the source of
9:07
personality, the father of all. He's an equal dispenser of his
9:11
fragment. Everybody gets a shot.
9:15
Does it matter if they're low IQ, high IQ, rich, poor?
9:20
Does it matter? Your color doesn't matter.
9:22
Your race doesn't matter. All that matters is that you can
9:27
somehow find that mechanism so that you can have and begin to
9:32
have that personal relationship with the source of all
9:35
personality, the Father, the destiny, the Alpha and the
9:40
Omega. And that's number one.
9:43
That's the first great revelation because it forever
9:47
settles the question, Is there a God?
9:50
Will you read the Arancha book and then come tell me that
9:53
there's not a God? Because the way that the Arancha
9:55
book explains God, I think would answer a lot of people's
9:59
questions because most people get tangled up.
10:01
You know, if there's a God, why do bad things happen?
10:04
Things like that? Well, is he an old white man?
10:08
He does he like homosexuals? You know, we we try to bring
10:12
down and negotiate with what we want God to be, right?
10:17
And then some people say, well, why even waste my time?
10:22
So the Arantia book to believers and unbelievers, God's real and
10:26
you can have a relationship. And that was also the revelation
10:29
that Jesus brought us, that you could have a relationship with
10:32
this loving father. He's a personality.
10:34
Now if we had not been taught that much of the Arantia book
10:38
may not appeal to us, the Arantia book continues that
10:43
message forward. The first third of the book is
10:47
dedicated to the love of God, the creation, the purpose, the
10:52
the even God's evolving self that that's somehow
10:56
existentially possible. So that's the first revelation
11:02
that God is real and we are all bestowed by this self, same
11:06
creator, so that we have potential.
11:10
And it's it's it's in that relationship that we have the
11:13
potential to continue on this journey.
11:15
And there's no reason why we have to wait until the
11:18
resurrection or the next life or getting to heaven or going
11:22
through the pearly gates. There's no reason to wait until
11:24
that time to start having the relationship with God.
11:31
And if you can manage to get some of that into your life and
11:36
to the point where it it overwhelms you, and then
11:39
suddenly you're in love with everything around you, and you
11:41
want to be a part of the plan and you want to help people,
11:46
then then you are more than meeting the expectation.
11:50
And the expectations for most human beings at this stage is
11:53
probably fairly low because we have so many doubts and we have
11:58
so many feelings. Remember the description
12:02
Guardian Angel gives of her assignment on Earth and it's in
12:06
the final pages. It might be in the page about
12:09
seraphim or maybe thought adjusters I'd have to look it
12:13
up. But the the the servant says
12:15
this is what I had to deal with. It is not easy living first of
12:19
all as a human, but second of all as a human.
12:21
On this, this place has been scarred.
12:24
This is, this is the you know, I don't you'd like to use the
12:28
word, but it's a third world world anyway, So that's number
12:32
one. Number two, what's the 2nd
12:33
revelation? And this is the big one.
12:37
The 2nd revelation that comes from the Rancho Book is that
12:41
there is life everywhere, that we are not alone.
12:45
In fact, we're the 606 planet just in our area of space alone.
12:50
That means there's 605 other planets that evolve life forms,
12:54
intelligent life with sole potential that have been around
12:58
for much longer than we have. And it's likely, based on what I
13:02
sense from the Rancho Book, that our system of Satania, of which
13:07
Jerusalem is the headquarters, is where the mansion worlds are
13:10
and where we will go our next place of destiny, whatever that
13:14
is, they're all probably within 100 light years from us.
13:19
So that means we're going to find life soon.
13:23
The Urancho book prepares us for that.
13:25
The Urancho book not only tells us what kinds of life form we
13:29
may encounter, but it also kind of hints on where to look.
13:34
That's a revelation. That's even a revelation for the
13:37
nonbelievers of spirituality, and that will have an impact.
13:42
And this is is the revelatory importance #1, that God is real
13:48
and that he's created a pretty fantastic universe #2 that the
13:52
universe isn't. If you want to get people
13:54
interested in the Rancho book that you know would help and you
13:58
know that they're into like science fiction and life and all
14:01
that, they'll like that part of the book.
14:05
I mean, it reads almost like, I mean, I'm willing you can make
14:09
an argument that George Lucas may have taken some of the ideas
14:13
of his Galaxy far, far away because in in a way, there was a
14:18
rebellion. There was the Empire, right?
14:20
There was Darth Vader, the 5th Lord, the evil presence, the
14:23
Force. You had your Jedi, which are
14:27
very much like Melchezidic's or or.
14:30
Yeah, I would say that's probably true.
14:32
I mean, there's a lot there. And and I've written about it on
14:35
my website, uranchoradio.net. So it came along at a time when
14:41
people were ready to accept the idea that there might be not
14:44
just life, but more life. And the first thing I always say
14:47
about the Urancho book is it teaches us that we're we're part
14:51
of a greater community of sentient beings.
14:54
And that gives me a lot of hope. And then I think the third
14:57
revelation is the full and enlarged restatement of the life
15:01
and teachings of Jesus. And I think that there's going
15:06
to be a lot of contention between those who subscribe to
15:10
the Old and New Testament and the life.
15:13
It's going to take a long time for the readers of the Rancho
15:16
book to convince those of the Christian faith that they can
15:20
trust this presentation. And then if they give themselves
15:25
the opportunity to read it from beginning to end and don't read
15:30
any other part of the Rancho book, you'll you'll still feel
15:33
that heightened appreciation. They're going to be things that
15:36
you you differ with because you have been you've accepted those
15:41
things as true. For example, that Christ was the
15:45
final sacrifice and he paid the debt that humanity owed God
15:49
because of original sin. Now that's still the Main St.
15:55
evangelical perspective. It's actually true that more
15:59
theologians are moving away from that.
16:01
They're they're sort of distancing them themselves.
16:06
Because what is original sin, you get blamed because your
16:10
father did something. That's a traditional religious
16:14
view. The Babylonian enslavement of
16:17
the Jews is where that came from, because it was the only
16:22
way that the Jews could justify why have we've been slaves for
16:25
800 years? We must have done something
16:27
wrong that Adam and Eve must have done something wrong and
16:34
and that had a big effect on Judaism and certainly on
16:37
Christianity. So you're not going to convince
16:40
Christians to suddenly embrace the Iranchia book and the
16:43
teachings of Jesus there. They're they're fine with the
16:47
red letter version of the new King James Bible and that's
16:51
okay. But the Jesus in the Iranchia
16:53
book, that whole representation and restatement of his life, I
16:59
believe has immense value for the next or third generation
17:03
after this, when people are are willing to go back and take a
17:08
second look. Like the Urancho book says, you
17:11
know what a great thing if this book could could find its way,
17:14
if people would be willing to take a second look at the man
17:17
from Galilee. So I believe the the value of
17:22
the Urancho book has a revelation first and foremost,
17:25
the immediate ramifications if we teach people these things.
17:29
If you teach people, you know God is in you.
17:32
If you if you knew that God was in you, how would you that
17:36
change your life, start somebody off there.
17:40
But that's what the errant book teaches.
17:42
It teaches that you can have a relationship with the spirit
17:45
fragment, the thought adjuster. Now you don't have to use the
17:48
word thought adjuster. That's their word.
17:51
My word might be the spirit of God.
17:53
And you can still convey that. And you don't even have to say
17:56
it came from the Rancho book. We just need to get people to
17:59
start thinking again in universal terms.
18:03
And it's kind of the same with the idea of life.
18:06
If you were to get into a real engaged conversation with
18:09
someone and you said, you know what, I have this book that kind
18:12
of explains all the different life forms there are, I think
18:15
you might kind of dig it. It's it's it's a little
18:17
religious. But you know, you might enjoy
18:19
what it says because it might open your mind to all kinds of
18:22
possibilities, but if not, I can share them with you.
18:25
You know that there are some planets where they have people
18:28
that are three feet tall and you have some planets where the
18:32
people actually can fly. They have wings.
18:35
They're not bird people, but they can, they can fly because
18:37
they came from a different kind of earlier species.
18:41
We happen to come from a lemur like species that split off and
18:46
became the Simians and we were the benefactors of that and
18:50
eventually we evolved with our brains and you know and you're
18:54
off to the races if people are willing to listen to you but
18:58
they may not always. So it's more important is and my
19:02
point is that is the it's what the concepts are.
19:06
It's like what Chris Halverson said they're using all the
19:09
numbers to give you context. They're they're giving it to you
19:13
so that it becomes more real to you and you can understand and
19:17
appreciate more of the process. So I I think that's how we begin
19:24
to teach the truths of the Rancho Book.
19:28
So in Paper 74 and Section 6 it describes the home life of Adam
19:34
and Eve. The Adamic family grounds
19:38
embraced a little over 5 square miles immediately surrounding
19:42
the the home site. Provisions had been made for the
19:46
care of more than 300,000 of pure line offspring, so they
19:51
anticipated having at least 300,000 offspring eventually
19:55
living in this five mile radius or square mile area.
20:02
But only the 1st unit of the projected buildings were ever
20:05
constructed before the size of the Ademic family outgrew these
20:10
early provisions. The whole Edenic plan had been
20:13
disrupted and the and the garden vacated.
20:17
Now, for those of you who know the Bible, that's when they
20:19
fell. And they were kicked out of the
20:21
garden. And in the Arancha book, we many
20:24
of us believe that the Garden of Eden sits off the coast of
20:27
Latakia in Syria. There is a peninsula that's now
20:31
underwater there that seems to be hugging the immediate coast.
20:35
That matches the description. So if you ever want to know
20:38
where we think Adam and Eve and the first Garden of Eden was
20:43
northwest Syria, it's a good place to start.
20:47
Now Adamson was the first born of the Violet race of Urantia.
20:52
And remember that Adam and Eve were of they were of a material
20:56
nature, but they had a spiritual origin which is Jerusalem and
21:00
that planet is inhabited by almost all us, was a million or
21:05
so Adam and ease. And we actually spent a lot of
21:10
time with them later in our initial career.
21:14
They are our mentors. I'm looking forward to that.
21:17
I'm, I'm actually, it's going to be really great to, you know, be
21:21
a part of these families where they can teach us like they
21:25
tried to teach us some 40,000 years ago.
21:30
They had three sons, two daughters and two and the
21:33
daughters one set of twins which were both female according to
21:38
what they're telling us. Their initial offsprings eve for
21:42
63 children, 32 daughters and 31 sons.
21:48
Their family consisted of four generations, numbering 16147
21:53
pure line descendants. They had 42 children after
21:57
leaving the garden and they settled between the Tigris in
22:01
the year for 80s as we remember, including the two offspring Cain
22:07
and Abel. The Adamic children did not take
22:10
milk from animals when they ceased to nurse the mother's
22:14
breast at one year of age. Eve had access to the milk of a
22:18
greater variety of nuts and to the juices of many fruits.
22:24
And knowing full well the chemistry and the energy of
22:27
these foods, remember that Adam and Eve in their previous life
22:31
they were botanists. They were scientists.
22:34
So Eve knew that the nuts and fruits and cereals, they had
22:40
chemistry and they were suitable combined them for the
22:43
nourishment of their children until they had their appearance
22:46
of teeth. You know, I think they're giving
22:48
us some good advice about nutrition.
22:52
While cooking was universally employed outside of the
22:55
immediate Ademic sector of Eden, there was no cooking in the Adam
23:01
Adams household. They found their nuts, fruits,
23:04
cereals all readily prepared and they ate once a day, shortly
23:08
afternoon time. Adam and Eve also had imbibed
23:12
light and energy direct from the space emanation, so because of
23:17
their divine heritage they could also get energy from space
23:22
emanations. I would imagine that would be
23:24
something related to the sun. Remember this book is written in
23:27
34, so they they can't give us too much information that we
23:31
wouldn't understand. And it goes on.
23:34
The bodies of Adam and Eve gave a shimmer of light, but they
23:38
always wore clothing in conformity with the customs of
23:41
the of their associates, and they wore very little during the
23:46
day. But in the night they donned
23:48
these wraps and the origin of the traditional Halo encircling
23:53
the heads of supposed pious and holy men.
23:56
That's the dates back to the days of Adam and Eve.
24:00
Since the light emanations of their bodies were so largely
24:03
obscured by clothing, only the radiating glow from their heads
24:08
was discernible. So that's where the legends of
24:11
Halos come from. Now you're asking yourself, you
24:16
know the the they're going through?
24:19
They're talking about the home life they tell us about at the
24:22
average age of with their children get married.
24:27
And it reads, The practice of some subsequent nations of
24:30
permitting the royal family, supposedly descended from the
24:34
gods, to marry brothers to sisters, dates from the
24:37
traditions of the Adamic offspring mating as they must
24:42
needs with one another, they had to keep the line going, and the
24:46
marriage ceremonies of the 1st and 2nd generations of the
24:49
garden were always performed by Adam and Eve.
24:54
So these enlightened advanced beings, they saw the value in
24:59
marriage and they treated it accordingly and they taught the
25:05
native neighboring tribes all these things which we ended up
25:09
absorbing in our own cultures less than 40,000 years ago.
25:13
And so again, what's the truth of all that?
25:16
What I've just shared with you, what's the truth that we had
25:20
these two beings that came here that tried to uplift us both
25:25
biologically and culturally? It's part of the plan.
25:30
It's no different from the story of Genesis, only, you know.
25:33
There's so there's so many metaphors, it's hard to get the
25:38
story. But isn't.
25:40
Isn't the Oranchia book and the Bible saying the same thing?
25:44
Adam and Eve Gartney goes into detail, obviously about That's
25:48
just one section, but I think people would be interested in
25:52
hearing about that. It got me interested.
25:57
So my book is out called The Gift.
26:00
How the Oranchia Revelation will facilitate a new spiritual age
26:05
and it's on Amazon and if you want to go check it out, it's
26:11
digital or you can get an actual book.
26:14
And if you do that, I'll sign it.
26:16
If you send it to me just so I can say I signed a book, it
26:21
does. It takes 2 1/2 hours to read.
26:24
And in the beginning of this podcast, I said it's not so much
26:28
that we teach everything in the Rancho Book.
26:30
All we need to do is wet their whistle.
26:34
You know, you can tell them about the thought adjusters, you
26:36
can tell them about the fragment of the Father, and you can talk
26:40
about all that. Or you could just say what what,
26:42
you know, take the approach, Jesus approach the Kingdom of
26:45
heaven is within you. And now let me tell you what's
26:48
in the Kingdom. And then try your best not to
26:52
give people more than they can take in.
26:55
And the truth is often blinding. You know you can't overwhelm
26:58
people with the truth. Jesus always told us to go go to
27:01
the level of the person you're talking to, Don't talk over
27:05
their heads. But this book that I wrote
27:09
basically summarizes the key points of why the errantia book
27:13
is valuable 1 Asserting and reaffirming that we are children
27:17
of a deity #1 #2, that we live in a universe.
27:21
It's apparently very heavy, heavily populated, and #3 they
27:26
wanted us to have the complete story, the unabridged version of
27:30
the life and teachings of the master son Jesus of Nazareth,
27:37
and I believe that's a good juncture for us to depart.
27:40
I hope that I've given you some interesting things to think
27:44
about, and I sure appreciate you stopping by and if I can get
27:48
this thing playing and get some nice music going before we check
27:52
out, I hope you had a good Michael birthday boy.
27:55
There sure was a lot of stuff online about it.
27:57
I was pleased. And we'll see you next time
28:01
here. I think we're going to talk
28:02
about the archangels in the next episode.
28:06
I found some fascinating things about that and some interesting
28:09
things online about the archangels in human history, so
28:12
we may cover that on the next edition of the Ranch Radio
28:16
Podcast. Don't forget your ranch
28:17
radio.net is up and look for the articles and let me know if
28:22
there's anything that you'd like us to talk about here on the
28:25
program. Until next time, God bless.
28:28
Thanks for stopping by.
