  In a moment, what can life on our neighboring?
• 0:02
  World teach us about ourselves. That's coming up on the Rancho.
• 0:07
  Radio Podcast. I want this to be the most.
• 0:19
  Explosive episode. I've ever done.
• 0:22
  I want every person who hears. This episode to share it.
• 0:26
  With 10 people, and I want those ten people to share it with 10
• 0:30
  other people. Think about it.
• 0:32
  What is the world obsessed with? If there was one question that
• 0:37
  every human being could ask. What would it be?
• 0:40
  I mean. Besides the.
• 0:42
  Question about. Life after death, What is the
• 0:45
  big question? Well, we.
• 0:47
  Already know what the Urantia book says?
• 0:48
  About life after death. It confirms it.
• 0:51
  It not only confirms it, it. Provides a rich.
• 0:54
  Detailed narrative of the eternally scaffolding existence.
• 0:58
  That follows. What this is, is preschool.
• 1:02
  We are in preschool on this planet and when we graduate
• 1:06
  from. Preschool, we will.
• 1:07
  Go on to Jerusalem, where we start to learn the language of
• 1:11
  the system and we learn about philosophies and service, and we
• 1:15
  spend maybe a few 100 or maybe a few thousand years being taught
• 1:19
  this cosmic alphabet. We learn who's who and the do's
• 1:24
  and the don'ts living as Marancha beings in a Marancha
• 1:28
  society, ascenders who retain the valuable lessons of
• 1:32
  preschool, of pre existence. That's a pretty good example of
• 1:36
  what the Orancha book shares and it is such a powerful message.
• 1:41
  I mean, I've dedicated over 200 podcasts, each one stepping you
• 1:45
  through the myriad of details that make up.
• 1:48
  The 5th epical. Revelation.
• 1:50
  And there is a reason they call it.
• 1:52
  Epical. Because we're not only getting
• 1:55
  our own history. Told back to.
• 1:56
  Us getting all the missing pieces that time has forgotten
• 2:00
  but think about. The fact.
• 2:02
  That for 996,000 years of man's existence we only started
• 2:08
  writing things down a few 1000. Years ago this.
• 2:11
  Explains why we have so many legends.
• 2:14
  And stories. Of strange things, fables, lore
• 2:18
  and some fragments of truth the Urantia book tells.
• 2:22
  US. Someday more people will want to
• 2:24
  know about it, but not. Today.
• 2:27
  Today there are. So many challenges, it's hard.
• 2:30
  To keep up. In some ways, things are
• 2:32
  miraculous. Last year for.
• 2:34
  Example the United States. Created over a. 1000 new
• 2:37
  millionaires. The global mortality.
• 2:40
  Rate is as low as it's ever. Been more people have access to
• 2:44
  information than ever before and the.
• 2:46
  Literacy rate is also as low. As it's ever been in a human
• 2:51
  history. So there are some good things
• 2:53
  about us. Our unseen friends say we are
• 2:56
  making. Progress, but we are also.
• 2:59
  Beset by many challenges, and chief among them is our lack of
• 3:03
  understanding of spiritual. Truth we are.
• 3:06
  Mostly ignorant to what is happening beyond.
• 3:09
  Our scope of. Vision.
• 3:11
  We are unaware. There is a spiritual.
• 3:14
  Agency that surrounds us, we just don't see them.
• 3:17
  Truths and literal. Agencies behind the scenes.
• 3:20
  Who rule? In the kingdoms of men.
• 3:23
  This is why they gave us the Urantia book to tell.
• 3:26
  Us, what's going on in our universe, They want us to know.
• 3:30
  They also went a step. Further.
• 3:32
  And told us. About this other world our
• 3:36
  sisters fear. And they tell.
• 3:38
  Us what life is like there. I wish people.
• 3:42
  Listening to me right now could really grasp the impact of that.
• 3:46
  Statement because today the whole world.
• 3:49
  Is fascinated. By the idea.
• 3:51
  Of life on other worlds. We've been asking that question
• 3:55
  for as long as humanity has been around.
• 3:58
  Even the Cavemen were drawing spaceships and weird robot
• 4:02
  looking creatures. So the notion of a world that is
• 4:05
  similar to our own. Should.
• 4:07
  Set the world on fire. The.
• 4:10
  Audaciousness of this. Book taking the incredulous
• 4:13
  step. Of informing us of this.
• 4:16
  True Sister sphere. Probably not too.
• 4:19
  Far away either, Perhaps a few. Solar systems over.
• 4:23
  But it's there, just like we're here.
• 4:26
  What does it say about this world?
• 4:28
  A lot in. Fact they start.
• 4:31
  Off by telling us why they're sharing this off world
• 4:34
  information with us. They said it's because of.
• 4:37
  Two things the extraordinarily similar circumstances.
• 4:41
  Both our worlds have. Faced in our past and the second
• 4:45
  thing, which is probably the more important of the two, They
• 4:48
  want to help us, they know. What our societal.
• 4:51
  Challenges are and they want to show us what these races on this
• 4:55
  other world are. Doing to progress.
• 4:58
  Towards a more. Peaceful and less regressive
• 5:01
  culture. Reaching for that pinnacle.
• 5:03
  We are told is the era. Of light and life.
• 5:07
  Which all. Evolutionary worlds are intended
• 5:10
  to do just in saying what I have said.
• 5:13
  Addresses several subjects. At once #1 The narrative of this
• 5:18
  life on another world establishes a context.
• 5:21
  That states life is elsewhere. And we are not alone #2 it.
• 5:26
  Provides for the. Notion that life forms.
• 5:29
  Have a specific path of. Evolution that, while not
• 5:33
  identical, favors a certain path the evolution of intellectually
• 5:37
  insightful bipedal. Races.
• 5:40
  And these races of men and women are in fact common on
• 5:43
  evolutionary worlds. And then number.
• 5:46
  Three by. Providing this narrative of our
• 5:49
  neighboring world, we are being simultaneously informed.
• 5:53
  That worlds are observed. Most likely in the same way that
• 5:57
  our world is being observed. Imagine.
• 6:01
  How our world leaders would behave.
• 6:03
  Knowing that they were being observed by an advanced.
• 6:07
  Species of super. Material and angelic beings, Do
• 6:11
  you think they would start to behave differently?
• 6:14
  I would think that they would, and this is perhaps the point.
• 6:18
  They want us to know, they know about us and they also
• 6:23
  administer to us. To keep our races on a.
• 6:27
  Proper path. If you look at the wars, the
• 6:30
  cities. Crumbling, the build up towards
• 6:32
  more wars and the sinking feeling that people are getting
• 6:36
  about society in general. It might bring comfort to our
• 6:41
  world to know that we are not alone and this paper on a
• 6:45
  neighboring planet, not only. Declares the fact, but also
• 6:49
  offers. Guidance in solving our own.
• 6:52
  Terrestrial problems. It's.
• 6:55
  Probably one of the most. Powerful chapters.
• 6:58
  In the entire Urantia book and it.
• 7:00
  Deserves a good. Examination.
• 7:19
  Paper 72. Opens with a.
• 7:21
  Story about this. World and how it has.
• 7:24
  Evolved. Along a similar path to our own.
• 7:29
  So on this world we are. Told there are. 11 continents
• 7:33
  and the world is mostly. A savage place.
• 7:36
  But the most advanced continent on this planet?
• 7:39
  Is described as. Being about the size of the land
• 7:42
  mass of Australia and there are on this continent, within the
• 7:46
  borders of this country, 100 free.
• 7:49
  States each with. Its own governor, but under the
• 7:52
  control. Of what appears to be a.
• 7:54
  Republic similar to our own. We have 50 states under a
• 7:58
  federal government like us. This government is roughly
• 8:02
  comprised of about 100 million people, and the government is
• 8:07
  very similar to our own. It has an executive branch, a
• 8:11
  judicial branch, and a representative upper and lower
• 8:14
  House of lawmakers, very similar to our own government and many
• 8:19
  other Western democracies. To be sure.
• 8:21
  So I think they're trying to draw that comparison also like
• 8:26
  our own government. There are states, as I mentioned
• 8:28
  100 and all, and they have a strong.
• 8:31
  Level of state. Government as well as smaller
• 8:33
  district bodies, again, not unlike we have city councils and
• 8:38
  state houses or assemblies. Now the authors.
• 8:40
  Tell us this. Government was formed about 200
• 8:44
  years ago, similar to our own and they.
• 8:46
  Too had slavery. Until it was abolished around
• 8:50
  100 years ago now, at the time of the writing of the Urantia
• 8:54
  book. So along the same line timeline.
• 8:57
  Abolished slavery. Around the time that we did here
• 9:00
  on our world, the Urantia book says other similarities.
• 9:04
  Are the fact that they. Too had an Adam and Eve.
• 9:07
  That defaulted they too. Had a planetary Prince who
• 9:11
  joined the Lucifer rebellion similar to what we experienced
• 9:15
  according the Urantia book when Calagastia threw in his lot with
• 9:19
  Lucifer and Satan and they too on this.
• 9:22
  World have endured without the guidance of a spiritual.
• 9:25
  Influence that is normally afforded evolutionary worlds so
• 9:30
  in these. Ways.
• 9:31
  They're very similar to our own planet and this point.
• 9:36
  Establishes the fact that all. Worlds are normally.
• 9:39
  Exposed to. Advanced spiritual personalities
• 9:43
  in the early. Years of its.
• 9:45
  Evolution. That would be.
• 9:46
  Considered normal. Our world and this other world
• 9:49
  are considered abnormal. On our world, and apparently on
• 9:53
  this other world, we were. Deprived of that.
• 9:56
  Early spiritual knowledge and that explains why we continue to
• 10:00
  have so much turmoil. What the?
• 10:02
  Revelators also inform us is that unlike.
• 10:06
  Our world this. Other world did not get the
• 10:08
  visitation of a divine Son as. We were blessed with a bestowal
• 10:14
  of Jesus. There is mention, however, that
• 10:17
  a magisterial Son of Light could soon come to our sister.
• 10:21
  World. And that this country is slowly
• 10:24
  evolving towards enlightenment, increased and improved social
• 10:29
  conduct and is moving away from its belligerent past.
• 10:33
  Meanwhile, they. Also tell us.
• 10:35
  That the rest of the nations on this planet.
• 10:38
  Are quite barbaric by their. Standards Try to imagine what
• 10:42
  that might be like to be surrounded by other continents
• 10:45
  where they're. They're brutal.
• 10:47
  And they have. Dictatorships.
• 10:49
  And are very. Warlike, it's not.
• 10:50
  Actually, that hard to imagine at all is.
• 10:52
  It they. Also mentioned that the country
• 10:55
  is self-sufficient due to. The Topography.
• 10:57
  Of the planet and their nation, and they have plenty of local.
• 11:01
  Resources. So they don't have to deal.
• 11:04
  With their less. Civilized neighbors, do you want
• 11:06
  to hear about their home life? Or how about?
• 11:08
  Their political government. These subjects are covered as
• 11:11
  well as how. They run their government, who
• 11:14
  they educate and how they. Educate their children how they.
• 11:17
  Deal with crime and how they. Deal with healthcare.
• 11:20
  And taxation, judging from the description of this nation, it.
• 11:25
  Appears they are at about the place where we were.
• 11:28
  At the 20th century, they're definitely in the machine age to
• 11:32
  be. Sure.
• 11:33
  But I'm not. Sure, if certain.
• 11:35
  Things. Were withheld because.
• 11:37
  Of our own status at the time the Arantia book was written.
• 11:41
  They may have had computers and airplanes or an Internet.
• 11:45
  It's unlikely that their technology would have been.
• 11:48
  Revealed to us. I think the mandate limits what
• 11:52
  they can tell. Us however what they did
• 11:55
  disclose forces us to re evaluate the way that.
• 11:58
  We do things on our. World which I.
• 12:00
  Think was the point. So let's take a minute to gather
• 12:04
  our thoughts and in a moment. We'll take a look at the the way
• 12:07
  these. People live on this world.
• 12:09
  Our sisters fears. Somewhere out there, in a Galaxy
• 12:13
  far away. Now before.
• 12:22
  We take our deep dive. Some things we are not.
• 12:24
  Told IS. How many Suns they have, for
• 12:27
  example, or if they have a moon. They're very good.
• 12:30
  At not disclosing information that might aid our astronomers
• 12:35
  and being. Able to locate this world.
• 12:37
  Good idea. We also don't know about the
• 12:40
  length of a year. But they do tell us that the
• 12:42
  average. Lifespan on this nation is 90.
• 12:46
  They also. Appear to be a mixture of the
• 12:47
  blue and yellow races. Which for us would be.
• 12:51
  Like a race of mixed Anglo-Saxon and Chinese.
• 12:55
  They also tell. Us that no metropolitan area can
• 12:58
  have more than 1,000,000 residents and that every family
• 13:02
  home is mandated to have at. Least 30. 1000 square feet.
• 13:06
  And that the moral training of children comes from the home,
• 13:10
  not from schools. Agriculture is also.
• 13:14
  Hugely popular on this world, they teach it in schools,
• 13:18
  families have farms and there is a competitive nature to this
• 13:23
  agrarian society. Horticulture on this world is
• 13:26
  not seen as punishment, but a human endeavor with regard.
• 13:30
  To. Policies.
• 13:31
  It mirrors much of what the United States is doing.
• 13:33
  There are. Parties, there's an.
• 13:35
  Executive leader people. Who are in politics must go
• 13:39
  through statesmanship. School.
• 13:42
  Great idea. One side note, people who get
• 13:45
  elected can also. Face fierce.
• 13:48
  Penalties, even death. If they cheat or steal or
• 13:53
  display. An abuse of.
• 13:54
  Power. On this world.
• 13:56
  Public loyalty is. Deemed a supreme trust and those
• 14:00
  who. Violate it.
• 14:01
  Face serious penalties we are told some things about.
• 14:05
  How they deal? With crime, Which?
• 14:07
  They describe as. Shocking by our standards.
• 14:11
  But they also. Tell us the crime rate in this
• 14:13
  nation is 110th. Of what we.
• 14:16
  Experience In most Western nations, most criminals are sent
• 14:21
  to agricultural fields and people who face jail time must
• 14:25
  still contribute to society by learning a skill.
• 14:29
  They inform us that everyone works on this nation and it is
• 14:33
  considered slothful to not work. Or have a.
• 14:36
  Job even shameful even the richest person in the country,
• 14:40
  they say. Has a job.
• 14:42
  And that the. Average work day is 6 hours that
• 14:45
  public. Service is deemed a very high
• 14:47
  honor education appears very different and the way they.
• 14:51
  Teach in school is. Fascinating, actually.
• 14:54
  Students are instructed. To teach the students.
• 14:56
  Behind them. Teachers teach by oratory.
• 15:00
  And they emphasize hands on instruction.
• 15:04
  Schools compete in this way, and the whole philosophy of industry
• 15:08
  is not so much profit as it is a meritocracy.
• 15:12
  A pursuit of. Excellence.
• 15:14
  There is obviously much more detail.
• 15:16
  To all of this but the take away.
• 15:18
  Is that if human beings were. Really, seriously curious.
• 15:22
  About what life might. Be like out there we have.
• 15:26
  In our possession. A realistic portrayal.
• 15:29
  Of one such. World.
• 15:30
  Similar to our own that we can study and learn from with the
• 15:35
  hopes of improving our life here on.
• 15:36
  Earth. Perhaps this?
• 15:38
  Becomes one of the most. Important Chapters.
• 15:41
  In. The entire book because it is
• 15:44
  actually applicable. To the here and now, something
• 15:47
  that we can actually learn from and try on our own.
• 15:51
  In fact, in looking at this. Besides the Jesus?
• 15:55
  Papers. I'm not sure there is a more
• 15:57
  important section in the Urantia book than this section.
• 16:02
  Paper 72. If it's true.
• 16:06
  Like many things in the Urantia book.
• 16:08
  Appear to be. Then this.
• 16:11
  Paper will have scholars. Academics and philosophers
• 16:16
  talking about it for centuries. And who knows, maybe one day we
• 16:20
  may even connect with the. People.
• 16:23
  Of this neighboring planet. I find it fascinating, so much
• 16:28
  so that I really wanted to dig deep into this episode.
• 16:32
  I want you to ask me a question if you've got a question about
• 16:35
  the Urantia book. In fact, that's one thing that I
• 16:38
  wish more people would do. I created the website so that
• 16:42
  you could very easily. Send a message.
• 16:44
  You don't have to sign up for anything and you can even leave
• 16:48
  a comment or you can leave a voicemail.

  Is your Rancho. Radio.org.
• 16:57
  Thank you for joining me on this.
• 16:58
  Episode and we'll talk real soon.
