The Webb Telescope is nothing less than Humanity's next effort
0:13
to move closer to understanding some of the biggest questions
0:16
about the origin of our universe.
0:19
It is not just the origins of distant stars and galaxies, but
0:22
it's the story of us, you and me.
0:25
It can't be said enough that this is a mission for anyone
0:28
who's ever looked up at the night sky.
0:29
And I wonder how we got here, why?
0:40
Watch this very spectacular. It was a brief, maybe three
0:45
minutes of just silence on TV. They had the James Webb
0:50
Telescope moving away unfurling. Something and just sort of
0:55
drifting away, drifting into space away from the earth and
0:59
you See the lower half of your screen, beautiful Earth and then
1:04
there's this James Webb ten billion dollar telescope.
1:08
It's just floating out of orbit and on its way.
1:13
And as it moves away from the earth, it the angle of the sun
1:16
is is such where the farther, it moves away becomes, a bright,
1:22
shining orb, almost in the in the shape of a cross.
1:26
Which is interesting because the Urantia book says that our world
1:29
is known as the world of the Cross.
1:32
So and this as we've said or we've talked about here on your
1:37
Ranch radio with yours, truly Jim Watkins.
1:40
The James Webb Telescope could be the next major event if it is
1:47
able to detect life. If it's able to enlarge our
1:52
vision of the universe and correct many of the assumptions
1:56
that that have ruled astronomy, for example, the Big Bang, maybe
2:01
the James Webb Telescope can tell us.
2:04
Maybe the universe is a lot older than we think.
2:08
Maybe there are other universes behind the Milky Way that we
2:12
just haven't seen, But the James Webb, Telescope will allow us to
2:16
see it. It's a hundred times more
2:18
powerful. And more detailed than the
2:22
Hubble, to give you an idea in the Hubble has been for the last
2:25
20 years, giving us spectacular views of Heaven of the heavens.
2:31
And it's kind of what I want to talk about this time.
2:35
Up on the Rancher Radio podcast, what might life be like
2:40
elsewhere. We hear about that, you know,
2:43
that's why we're that's why we're looking right?
2:46
We're trying to find out if we're the only ones in the
2:49
universe and if we're not, the only ones in the universe alive,
2:54
then what else is out there? well, the Urantia book actually
2:58
tells us this Throughout the book, me the whole point of the
3:02
Rancho book is to inform us. Of the reality that the universe
3:07
is one large school. It is literally literally
3:11
littered with evolutionary life, spiritual life what they call
3:17
the Midway or miranshah and life that sphere between the pure
3:21
material. And the pure Spirit, much of all
3:24
of this activity takes place on real planets.
3:29
It's a very large neighborhood, very big place.
3:33
Oh and by the way, if you want to get an inkling of how big it
3:36
is, I urge you to check out YouTube look for Nigel none.
3:42
He has. I think maybe six videos that
3:45
he's produced, he specializes in digital Artistry and man, he
3:51
just knocks it out of the park and he gives you a real good
3:54
perspective along with some other works.
3:57
You'll have no shortage. You're finding these beautiful
4:00
visually stimulating pieces of art produced by people who are
4:05
obvious readers of the Urantia book.
4:09
So on paper 72, there are 12 chapters in this paper.
4:13
And that's what we're going to focus on.
4:14
So within the twelve chapters, there are 12 Pages.
4:17
Total from section 3, in our history of the Urantia move our
4:22
world. So this chapter takes us on a
4:25
departure from the timeline and brings in a neighboring planet
4:28
for duration before it starts to take us on the Journey of our
4:32
last 40,000 years. Now, why would they do that?
4:37
They cover a variety of subject matter and paper 72 and the
4:40
revelator's share with us. All kinds of information on this
4:43
sister sphere doesn't tell us where it is, but it tells us how
4:48
it is. And in fact, how similar they
4:51
are to us Including is the history of the continent on this
4:56
neighboring Planet, the home life, it's political structure
5:01
how they set up their schools parenting, even things like
5:06
taxation, how they deal with crime and how other countries on
5:11
the planet compared to them. They even explain why they are
5:15
sharing the information with us. The author is simply credit as a
5:19
Melchizedek of nebadon, perhaps maybe perhaps a milk, has a dick
5:24
that that serves in some kind of receivership on this planet,
5:27
similar to what much Aventa does.
5:31
But nevertheless, he is a Melchizedek.
5:33
So he is a hi son, revealing this information almost
5:37
firsthand it appears So we're going to read I giving you the
5:42
Abridged version, but he's I picked out in sequential order
5:46
as we move through paper 72. But the rich detail and the
5:51
corollary information has an effect where we started thinking
5:55
about, how we do things here on our world.
5:58
And then in our time, what can we learn from this story?
6:02
That's what this is about. What can we learn from them?
6:05
As we peruse paper, 72. Government on a neighboring
6:09
planet from the Rancho book. So, from the beginning, 72 the
6:15
opening paragraph section one with the approval of the most
6:18
highs of edentia. Now, remember, most high, most
6:22
Highs are mentioned numerous times.
6:24
And in scripture, they represent the government of the Trinity on
6:29
a densha. That's the name of the
6:31
headquarters world of our section of space.
6:36
He writes, I am authorized to narrate something of the social
6:39
moral and political life of the Bands to human race, human race
6:45
living on a not far distant planet belonging to your system
6:49
which they named satania. This planet has experienced a
6:53
history most like that of here, ancha.
6:56
The similarity of the two spheres undoubtedly explains why
6:59
permission to make this extraordinary presentation was
7:03
granted for. It is most unusual for the
7:06
system rulers to consent to the narration on one planet of the
7:11
affairs. Of another.
7:14
A very Superior civilization is evolving on an isolated
7:18
continent about the size of Australia.
7:21
This nation numbers about 140 million.
7:24
The people are a mixed race predominantly blue and yellow.
7:28
Having a slightly greater proportion of violet than the
7:31
so-called white races of Urantia.
7:35
These different races are not yet fully Blended, but they
7:38
fraternize and socialize. Very acceptably.
7:41
The average length of Life on this continent is now 90 Years,
7:45
15% higher than any of the other people on the planet.
7:52
These people are self-sustaining that is they can live
7:55
indefinitely without importing, anything from the surrounding
7:59
Nations. Their natural resources are
8:01
replete and by scientific technique, they have learned how
8:06
to compensate for their deficiencies in the essentials
8:09
of Life. They enjoy your brisk domestic
8:12
Commerce, but have little foreign trade owing to the
8:16
universal hostility of their less Progressive Neighbors.
8:22
This Continental Nation now has a representative government with
8:26
a centrally located national capital, the central Government
8:31
consists of a strong Federation of 100, comparatively free
8:35
states, the state, select their Governors and legislators for 10
8:40
years and none are eligible. For re-election state judges are
8:45
appointed for Life by the governor's and confirmed by
8:48
their legislatures, which consists of one representative
8:52
native for each 100,000 citizens.
8:56
It's not unlike our own world really in our own country.
9:00
The United States were 50 states.
9:02
Instead of 100, each state is is free the state, select our
9:07
Governors and legislatures. One notable difference is that
9:11
they're not eligible for re-election.
9:13
So they have their answer to term limits a slightly longer
9:17
term but one term And then, of course, like us with our Supreme
9:23
Court judges, they get appointed for life.
9:25
So today and the state level, and they're confirmed much like
9:29
we confirm our own and of course, they have representative
9:32
government, which is analogous analogous to our own one
9:37
representative for each 100,000 citizens.
9:40
So that's interesting, isn't it? They're very similar to us.
9:45
From paper, 72 section 2. We pick up the federal
9:49
government in braces, three coordinate, divisions, executive
9:53
legislative and judicial the federal chief executive is
9:58
elected every six years, he is not eligible for re-election
10:02
except upon the petition of at least 75 State Legislature late
10:07
legislators concurred in by the respective State Governors and
10:13
then, but just for one term And he is advised by a super cabinet
10:17
composed of all living Chief Executives but that's that's
10:22
pretty interesting, isn't it? So their president serves for
10:26
six years on this world is not eligible for re-election unless
10:30
he gets a petition that signed off on by 75% of the states and
10:37
their respected State Governors and legislators.
10:41
And even if you are managed able to do that, you'd have to be a
10:45
He could president you only get reelected for one term boy.
10:48
That's that's some music to my ears.
10:51
What I also admire about this, this this government is it.
10:56
Each president is advised by all the living Chief Executives.
11:01
I want, there's something about that that I find appealing.
11:05
Wouldn't it be something if Biden had the resources of Obama
11:10
and Trump and Bush? And, you know, just because
11:14
these people have experience and they can obviously bring things
11:17
nuances to the table, but we don't do it that way.
11:20
At least far, as I know, Picking up on 72 Section, 3 on this
11:26
continent, it is against the law for two families to live under
11:29
the same roof and since group dwellings have been outlawed,
11:34
most of the tenement type of buildings have been demolished,
11:38
but the unmarried still live in clubs hotels and other group
11:41
dwellings. So they've gotten rid of all
11:44
those tenement buildings. That we see that are common in
11:47
our society, where typically the impoverished, end up living.
11:53
So they figured out that it's not good to have this kind of
11:56
society. It brings with it its own set of
11:59
problems. The home life of this.
12:02
People has greatly improved during the last century
12:06
attendance of parents, both fathers and mothers.
12:09
At the parental schools of child culture is compulsory These
12:15
people regard, the home is the basic institution of their
12:18
civilization. It is expected that the most
12:21
valuable part of a child's education.
12:23
And character training will be secured from his parents at at
12:27
home and fathers, devote almost as much attention to child
12:32
culture as do mothers. So, a lot, we can learn from
12:37
that all sections. Struction, is administered in
12:41
the home by parents, or by legal Guardians.
12:43
Moral instruction is offered by teachers during the rest periods
12:48
in the school shops, but not, so with religious training, which
12:52
is deemed to be the exclusive privilege of parents.
12:57
Religion being looked upon as an integral part of home life.
13:01
Purely religious instruction is given publicly only in the
13:05
temples of philosophy. No, such exclusively religious
13:09
institutions, as the ranch of churches, having developed among
13:13
this people. And their philosophy, religion
13:16
is the striving to know God and to manifest love for one's
13:20
fellows through service for them.
13:23
But this is not typical of the religious status of the other
13:26
nations on this planet. Again, a lot to extrapolate
13:31
there. With the importance of the
13:34
family. And the differentiation between
13:37
families. What they teach children with
13:40
the schools teach. They don't have churches like we
13:45
have with all these different denominations, but they do have
13:49
temples of philosophic philosophy.
13:52
Interesting where they their religion seems simple.
13:58
And it's also mirrors exactly what the gospel is.
14:00
By the way. So, our fridge is conferred the
14:04
right to vote at 20. The right to marry without
14:07
parental consent is not bestowed, until 25, and children
14:11
must leave home on reaching the age of 30 paper, 72 section,
14:17
three paragraph, 8, marriage and divorce laws are uniform
14:21
throughout the nation marriage before 20, the age of civil
14:25
disenfranchised or civil enfranchisement is not permitted
14:30
permission to marry, is only granted after One year's notice
14:33
of intention and after both bride and groom present
14:37
certificate showing that they have been duly instructed and
14:41
the parental schools regarding the responsibilities of marital
14:45
married life. So see here.
14:47
They see, they understand these people have developed that point
14:51
where they understand that the home is the most important
14:54
institution. It is how the home goes
14:56
determines, how Society goes and they take very seriously, it
15:01
appears You're going to get married and have kids going to
15:06
raise a family. You better know what you're
15:08
doing. You can't just have children and
15:11
make it up as you go along and get some books.
15:14
And, you know, you, you gotta, it's, it's taken very seriously.
15:19
And I admire that, I admire that quite a bit.
15:24
It's I think we can learn from that.
15:27
Schools are vastly different from those on on Urantia, there
15:31
are no classrooms. Only one study is Pursued at a
15:33
time. And after the first three years,
15:36
all pupils become assistant, teachers, interesting,
15:40
instructing those below them, that's something.
15:43
I think that we could look into books are only used to secure
15:47
information, that will assist in solving the problems arising in
15:52
the school shops and on the school Farms, much of the
15:56
furniture used on the continent and many mechanical, contrivance
16:00
has Are made in the shops and this is a great age of admission
16:06
and mechanization for these people.
16:12
Adjacent to each shop is a working Library where the
16:15
student may consult the necessary reference books,
16:18
Agriculture and Horticulture are also taught throughout the
16:22
entire educational period on the extensive Farms.
16:26
Adjoining every local school. Now there's something that I
16:30
think could be revolutionary for us.
16:34
Imagine that future age where when you send your child to
16:38
school, they spend part of the day learning how to grow
16:40
tomatoes. Potatoes.
16:42
And they actually learn something about tilling the
16:45
soil. That could have a, such a
16:48
positive impact. I know that many people will say
16:52
including myself that when you are young and you have that
16:55
experience of being on a farm and being around livestock and
16:59
growing food, and eating the food that you grow, it's a
17:03
transformative experience. It's something that stays with
17:05
you and it's something that we've lost in our Urban Society
17:10
to a great degree. The book says, the federal
17:15
government is paternalistic, only the administration of old
17:18
age pensions and in the fostering of genius and creative
17:22
originality, the state governments are slightly more
17:26
concerned with the individual citizen.
17:28
While the local governments are much more paternalistic or
17:32
socialistic. Although the society and
17:38
government of this unique, people are in many respects,
17:40
Superior to those of the ranch and Nations.
17:44
It should be stated that on the other continents there are 11 on
17:49
this planet. The government's are decidedly
17:51
inferior to the more advanced nations of Urantia.
17:57
They're telling us this planet, our neighboring Planet out of
18:03
the 11 continents. This one is the most advanced
18:06
and it's probably farther Advanced and most of our current
18:10
continents. But inversely, the other 10
18:15
continents are vastly inferior to what our continents would be.
18:21
So that's a pretty severe. Could see why they're shut off
18:25
and while they learn to be self-sufficient, Just now the
18:30
superior government is planning to establish.
18:33
Now, this was written in 34, so this would have been, you know,
18:37
70, 80 years ago Just now the superior government is planning
18:42
to establish Ambassador Ambassador, real relations with
18:47
the inferior peoples and for the first time a great religious
18:50
leader has arisen who Advocates the sending of missionaries to
18:54
these surrounding Nations, We Fear, they are about the to make
18:59
the mistake that so many others have made.
19:02
When they have endeavoured to force, a superior culture and
19:05
religion upon other races. So take note I'm going to teach
19:11
us a lesson here. We're talking about the mistake
19:16
that we make, when you try to force a superior culture on an
19:21
inferior or different race. They say, what a wonderful thing
19:27
could be done in this world. If the Continental nation of
19:30
advanced cultures would only go out and bring to itself the best
19:34
of the neighboring, peoples, and then after educating them, send
19:38
them back as emissaries of culture to their benighted
19:41
brethren this is, by the way, the practice that were was
19:47
conducted in the caligastia scheme, the plan, the 100, and
19:52
then also of the adamic culture, There's was to go out and bring
19:57
the superior members, a few of them, teach them their ways, and
20:03
then send them back to their, they're saying that's the
20:06
preferred way. If you really want to make an
20:08
impact and help Advance other societies, take a few of them,
20:14
bring them in, teach them and then send them back.
20:18
Then they can share what they've learned with their fellow man.
20:21
That seems to be not only I have a feeling that's that's the
20:26
tried-and-true way of advancing cultures.
20:31
Instead of this en masse and we've seen a lot of people today
20:36
argue about the merits of, you know how America came to be
20:40
because this is essentially what we did we came in European
20:43
settlers and we forced our culture upon the indigenous at
20:47
the time and this has been done. Spanish, did it to the Native
20:53
Americans in the 1500s so forth. And we continue to do this today
20:58
although today it's much more having to do with Commerce.
21:03
And then finally, it reads from paper 72 section 12.
21:07
This recital of the Affairs of a neighboring planet is made by
21:11
special permission with the intent of advancing civilization
21:16
and augmenting governmental evolutions on Urantia.
21:20
Much more could be narrated that would no doubt interest and
21:24
Intrigue your engines but this disclosure covers the limits of
21:29
our permissive mandate The intent of advancing civilization
21:37
and augmenting, governmental Evolution.
21:42
And that concludes some of the highlights from paper, 72 and
21:45
titled government on a neighboring planet from the
21:48
Rancho book. This is the first attempt I can
21:51
recall of a book providing an in-depth.
21:53
Look at a society on a neighboring World.
21:56
It also provides to be one of the few examples.
22:00
Of how the Rancho book differentiates itself from most
22:04
religious books by stepping into Uncharted Territory, but yet it
22:10
is consistent with its overall presentation.
22:14
And it's a suggestion that life is abundant and more common in
22:18
the cosmos than even we realize. So I hope you got something out
22:23
of paper 72. I love reading it from time to
22:26
time. It's one of my favorites from
22:29
the archives I guess. The Rancher book.
