• 0:00
  Welcome to another edition of the Urancha Radio podcast where
• 0:03
  we talk about the fifth epical revelation, the Urancha book.
• 0:07
  Long time student. I'm your host been doing.
• 0:10
  I think we're probably over 250 episodes.
• 0:14
  So we're making some progress and and we still haven't even
• 0:17
  gotten started. I do want to tell you there are
• 0:19
  some things coming up. If you haven't heard, a couple
• 0:22
  of events, social events for your various Urancha groups
• 0:26
  around the world. IC 26 is coming up.
• 0:30
  That will be July 12th. That's the one that's out in
• 0:35
  California, in Monterey. What is the name of that town?
• 0:39
  I can't remember it. It's kind of a unusual name.
• 0:42
  Solaris or Solimar Solimar. Is that it?
• 0:46
  Solimar, SOLIMAR. That'll be on July 12th.
• 0:52
  Also, there's a conference coming up August 21st on
• 0:55
  Michael's birthday, a Day with the Angels Conference.
• 0:59
  And you can find some of this information is on the Center for
• 1:02
  unity.org website, but that's coming up.
• 1:06
  It will be a sacred gathering to explore the gentle whispers of
• 1:11
  the angels. The first conference in this
• 1:13
  series will focus on our planetary angels.
• 1:16
  Future conferences will address local Universe Angels, Super
• 1:20
  Universe Angels and central Universe angels and that will be
• 1:24
  held in San Antonio. And the event you can call
• 1:31
  210-288-2863. And you can talk to Katrina
• 1:38
  Glavin Heiss again, 210-288-2863.
• 1:44
  San Antonio, if, if you get it right, is a great city,
• 1:48
  especially if you love Mexican food.
• 1:52
  Anyway, that's August 21st. And that sounds nice, doesn't
• 1:56
  it? Again, what was that number that
• 1:58
  I gave you? 210-288-2863 Maybe angels will
• 2:03
  be there. I'm sure.
• 2:05
  I'm sure they will be. I know that the angels are
• 2:07
  trying hard. They're trying to bring peace to
• 2:11
  the world, that's for sure. You know, there's a whole
• 2:14
  section in the Urantia book about angels and what they do.
• 2:18
  And I often read it for comfort. I find that I, I'm, I'm more at
• 2:24
  ease on my home planet knowing that there are angels working on
• 2:31
  our behalf. So, and, and that's an uplifting
• 2:35
  idea. And, and a lot of people believe
• 2:37
  in angels. I know people who are not even
• 2:39
  religious and they believe in guardian angels, and that's a
• 2:43
  step. It's a small step.
• 2:45
  I like the fact that the Urantia book says the only good can come
• 2:49
  from knowing more about your unseen friends.
• 2:53
  OK, so the topic of this subject is The Cave, The Cave, Steven
• 3:00
  Spielberg, the Urantia book, and the silo.
• 3:03
  Now, what do they all have in common?
• 3:06
  Well, I'm going to talk about them on this program and they do
• 3:09
  have something in common. They there's a philosophical
• 3:12
  thread that runs through those four things.
• 3:16
  And there's a new movie out that I've been watching with my wife
• 3:19
  called Silo and they start their third season.
• 3:24
  It's pretty good, could be a lot better.
• 3:26
  I'm, I'm hearing that the book is really good, but it plays on
• 3:32
  a very old allegory really. And it's a movie with Rebecca
• 3:37
  Ferguson. And if you like her and Dawn or
• 3:39
  Dune, which I think she's fabulous, I think you'll like
• 3:43
  her. I think she really pulls this
• 3:44
  off. And it takes place in the
• 3:46
  future. And the scenario is that there's
• 3:48
  10,000 people for unknown reasons living underground in a,
• 3:53
  in a, in a silo that is extremely deep, big enough to
• 3:58
  accommodate these people. Later they learned that there's
• 4:03
  actually more than one silo. But for this particular silo,
• 4:07
  the group lives in relatively law and order.
• 4:11
  They have justice, they have tribunals, they have, they seem
• 4:15
  to have a sort of an echo of a constitutional government.
• 4:21
  And the people inside cannot go outside because if they, they,
• 4:26
  if they do, they'll die. They see that because there's a
• 4:29
  big monitor and all the social rooms like a window that shows
• 4:33
  them what's outside. And what's outside is darkness,
• 4:37
  deadness, dead trees, dead landscape, no life.
• 4:41
  On occasion when people are in desperate positions or they,
• 4:46
  they just feel they got to get out, they don't believe it
• 4:48
  anymore. People say I want to go out and
• 4:51
  they're allowed to go out. And then people watch them
• 4:55
  literally die because once they get outside, they realize, uh
• 4:58
  oh, I made a mistake. I thought there was something
• 5:02
  more. So from birth to death, these
• 5:05
  people believe that there is no anything else other than where
• 5:08
  they are. So watching that show made me
• 5:12
  think of Plato's Cave and from my college days when I took
• 5:17
  philosophy, that one of the first things you learn is The
• 5:21
  Cave and the whole metaphor of The Cave.
• 5:25
  Plato used that as as an allegory that shows that people
• 5:30
  can be conditioned to accept and and create an entire reality
• 5:35
  over the accepted notion of what they think is reality and this.
• 5:42
  So in a sense, they're sort of shackled in this cave and they
• 5:47
  see a lighted wall and they see shadows of what they imagine is
• 5:51
  outside of The Cave, but they do not know for sure and they can
• 5:55
  never leave The Cave. And except that someone does
• 6:00
  leave The Cave. And when they go outside, they
• 6:03
  are at first blinded by everything that they see.
• 6:06
  They see the sun and but after a while they, they come to realize
• 6:11
  that there is abundant life outside of cave.
• 6:16
  And this person eventually goes back into The Cave and tries to
• 6:19
  tell everyone, hey, there's something out there.
• 6:23
  It's beautiful. It's wonderful.
• 6:24
  You, you should come see it. There's things of substance,
• 6:29
  There's fresh air, there's beautiful flowers and tiny
• 6:33
  little animals that flatter their wings and they fly around.
• 6:38
  It's it's beyond compare. But the people in The Cave, they
• 6:43
  don't believe him, and they refuse to leave because they
• 6:47
  don't believe him and they're safe.
• 6:51
  And so that leads to this discussion that I have in my
• 6:55
  mind about the Urantia Book and why over the years so many
• 7:00
  people are hesitant to consider new truth or ideas or are
• 7:07
  hesitant to believe that a book could exist, such as the Urantia
• 7:11
  Book, a book coming from the other side, a book that informs
• 7:15
  us what is outside of our cave. And that cave is called earth.
• 7:21
  Now, some people don't want to leave The Cave.
• 7:24
  Others, those who have power and maintain status and position in
• 7:30
  The Cave would lose that status. Possibly, if people were to
• 7:34
  discover life outside The Cave, they might shift their
• 7:39
  priorities. They might even revolt because
• 7:42
  they know the truth of what is outside of The Cave.
• 7:48
  When the Urantia book reveals the Father's plan and informs us
• 7:53
  of his galactic family of spirit beings who help orchestrate the
• 7:57
  plan of universal progress and growth, many refuse to believe
• 8:02
  it. Or they've been taught that such
• 8:06
  reality is for children and doesn't really exist.
• 8:10
  They are taught this reality that life on earth is the only
• 8:14
  thing and the only thing that matters, and it makes people
• 8:18
  feel safe. It also makes people get nervous
• 8:22
  and restless, like me. Now, you could say the same
• 8:26
  thing about Christianity, a religion that helps people feel
• 8:29
  safe because that they know that life ultimately is in God's
• 8:33
  hands. And that's a shared principle
• 8:36
  with the Urantia book. God is centered to everything,
• 8:41
  not mortal man. And man, yes, has limited
• 8:45
  control on what we can do and how we can feel.
• 8:47
  And but it's so limited. It's finite and it's also short
• 8:52
  lived. It's understandable why people
• 8:56
  remain in the silo or in The Cave and why they reject people
• 9:00
  who try to tell them what's outside of The Cave.
• 9:03
  It's because of this simple fact many people prefer safety above
• 9:09
  all other things. Anything that threatens that
• 9:12
  security or safety is dangerous. The Urantia book is as much a
• 9:18
  wonderful document as it is a dangerous and powerful weapon
• 9:23
  against evil and untruth. And This is why I think it's
• 9:29
  easier to watch a Steven Spielberg film about ETS than it
• 9:34
  is to read the Urantia book, which tells us exactly who they
• 9:38
  are and where they are. And in every generation, there
• 9:44
  will be those who seek truth, and those who are just happy
• 9:48
  living day by day, being told what is true and what isn't.
• 9:54
  And it is also true. There are those who reject truth
• 9:57
  because it might require them to change their way of thinking and
• 10:03
  look at a new paradigm or a new philosophy or a new
• 10:07
  responsibility. It is a wondrous universe, but
• 10:12
  it is not for the timid. That's a quote from Q on Star
• 10:18
  Trek The Next Generation, but it's an appropriate one.
• 10:22
  It is a wondrous universe, but it is not for the timid.
• 10:25
  Because if we are to be the future builders of this new
• 10:30
  universe, and if there is a personality continuance, a plan
• 10:35
  that I can be a part of, limited only by my willingness to
• 10:40
  participate, then count me in. And such a commitment requires
• 10:47
  spiritual courage. It's not always easy to leave
• 10:52
  The Cave. It's a common thought that we
• 10:57
  explore on on the Urantia book, and I wanted to share it with
• 11:00
  you today. All right, so as you're watching
• 11:04
  the political stuff going on, think of this from the Urantia
• 11:08
  book, the Angels of Nation life. These are the angels of the
• 11:12
  trumpets, directors of the political performances of
• 11:16
  Urantia National life. The group now functioning in the
• 11:20
  over control of international relations is the 4th 4th core to
• 11:25
  serve on the planet. It is particularly through the
• 11:29
  ministry of this seraphic division that quote the most
• 11:33
  highs rule in the kingdoms of men.
• 11:37
  So there is that seraphic influence.
• 11:39
  How how do you say Jim? What do you mean?
• 11:42
  What are they doing inculcating trust in their hearts?
• 11:47
  Think about the people that are behind the scenes working to try
• 11:51
  to bring about a coalition because they they see that yes,
• 11:56
  peace is very prosperous. Ask the leaders of Katra if
• 12:01
  peace is prosperous. Ask the people of Saudi Arabia.
• 12:05
  Ask the people that are sitting in the stands of the World Cup.
• 12:11
  Until next time, Thanks again for stopping by the Your Rancher

  If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to
• 12:33
  go back home and crawl under your bed.
• 12:35
  It's not safe out here. It's wondrous with treasures to
• 12:40
  satiate desires both subtle and gross.
• 12:44
  But it's not for the two men.
