The Golden Age · Urantia Radio

0:00
Welcome to the Urantia Radio Podcast, and in a moment we're
0:03
going to talk about the exciting convention that was in the
0:06
desert recently involving the Urantia Fellowship.
0:10
Also, we'll talk a little bit more about this concept of the
0:13
Golden Age, and I think that you'll be very interested to to
0:18
hear what the revelators say about what we can expect when we
0:22
get there. Welcome back to another edition
0:32
of the Rancho Radio Podcast. And I want to do a little bit of
0:35
a follow up to the last podcast. So if you haven't heard the
0:38
previous podcast to this one, which is all about our sister's
0:42
fear, I would encourage you to to listen.
0:45
It's chock full of great, interesting information and it
0:49
will blow you away. And I love reading that part of
0:52
the book. We delve into what life is like
0:55
on another world. And Speaking of another world, I
0:59
was just just thrilled to read about the Urantia Fellowship and
1:04
their attendance at the Contact in the Desert.
1:08
And I have to praise everyone because they did such a great
1:11
job. Not only what they did there,
1:13
Lynn Goodwin among them, Pamela Keller and others who were
1:20
there. There was another article that I
1:22
loved, Taylor Verser and Diedrich Baker.
1:27
They, they gave their assessment.
1:29
And what is exciting about it is that with the growth of
1:33
popularity and curiosity about UFOs and alien life, which has
1:39
been, you know, in the news lately, you know, and we've
1:42
talked about how there is that kind of connection with the
1:45
Urantia book because the Urantia book does substantiate that life
1:50
is abundant in the universe and we are just one planet of many
1:55
and that there is an evolutionary track to all this.
1:58
We're divinely guided. And I've always believed, and I
2:02
have to admit that in many ways, my curiosity about UF OS as a
2:08
young person, when I would read Eric von Daniken and certainly
2:13
when I would watch, you know, the science fiction that was on
2:15
TV, You know, my curiosity about the universe was wedded by my
2:21
early influences in Ufology. And my my curiosity, it made it
2:27
more acceptable to me to read the Urantia book in many ways
2:30
because the Urantia book validates this concept.
2:35
Star Wars is another good example.
2:36
I think one of the reasons it's so darn popular is because this
2:40
idea of life being out in the universe in abundance offers so
2:46
much hope, doesn't it? Anyway, so to all the folks at
2:49
the Fellowship, they said there were a lot of people there, a
2:53
lot of influencers, and that the booth, the Urantia book booth,
2:58
got more visits than ever before.
3:02
Or is there something about 30 books were handed out, but there
3:06
were influencers there? Documentarian Jeremy Nori did an
3:12
interview which may be floating out on the Internet at some
3:15
point. We also are told that an
3:18
interview was scheduled with Jeremy Corbel, who has one of
3:22
the most popular UFO podcast. I think, Oh no, no, no, I'm
3:28
wrong. Jeremy Corbel is an investigator
3:32
and he is responsible for bringing active duty military
3:36
members to testify in front of Congress on the reality of
3:40
military UFO programs. They said that Bob Lazar, or
3:45
Lazar, who's a filmmaker, got a chance to hook up with some of
3:50
the folks about the Urantia book.
3:53
And it it was just an overwhelming success.
3:56
And it's gives me great pleasure to know that, you know, some of
4:01
our brothers and sisters are starting to get the attention of
4:05
people who are naturally curious about these things.
4:10
And it's a, it's wonderful to hear.
4:13
So again, I want to talk a little bit about what we touched
4:17
on in the last, the idea of, of progress.
4:21
You know, we, if we accept the fact that our planet, our world
4:26
is on a definite course towards progress, you have to kind of
4:30
think about what that progress means.
4:32
How is that progress expressed on a social level?
4:37
In one way is this idea of the golden age.
4:41
You know, we aspire to the golden age.
4:44
Isn't that true? I think it's true.
4:47
I think that deep down inside, we all hope that all of this
4:50
striving in the universe, certainly in our life, we want
4:55
our grandchildren and their grandchildren to continues to
4:59
prosper. We want there to be peace.
5:02
We want wars to end all of these things.
5:05
We want to be healthy. We want to be happy.
5:08
I would have to believe that if you're a human being on this
5:11
planet, This is why we're here, right?
5:14
This is what we are striving to accomplish.
5:18
Learning to be better people. I mean, raising the, the, the
5:22
lowering the, the death rate of children is progress.
5:27
Figuring out better ways to distribute food.
5:31
You know, we want a better life because it's inherent.
5:35
It's in US to be perfect even as our father is perfect.
5:40
That that's a driving force, right?
5:42
OK, so the golden age we all want, we want the golden age.
5:47
What is the golden age? Well, the Urantia book actually
5:50
explains what the golden age is in paper 55, Section 3.
5:57
And so it reads that during the age of light and life.
6:00
And by the way, our sister sphere is striving for that same
6:03
goal, a golden age. So during this age, light and
6:08
life, the world increasing increasingly prospers under the
6:13
fatherly rule of the Planetary Sovereign.
6:16
So who could that be? In our case it most likely will
6:20
either be Christ himself or his appointed Planetary Sovereign.
6:25
In this case, probably likely to be either Melchizedek or perhaps
6:29
even Adam and Eve. There's another section of the
6:33
book where they talk about the fact that it is possible that
6:36
that as part of the reconciliation of this world,
6:38
that Adam and Eve could be re allowed to serve as the the
6:43
sovereign rulers. That could be so when that day
6:47
is here, the world still has hospitals.
6:51
They write that even in the age when we have the one language,
6:57
the one superior religion that everybody agrees with, even in
7:02
that perfect period there are still hospitals, homes for the
7:06
care of the sick. There still remain the problems
7:09
of caring for accidental injuries and the inescapable
7:14
infirmities attendant upon the decreptitude of old age and the
7:18
disorders of senility. Even in the golden Age, disease
7:23
has not been entirely vanquished, neither have the
7:25
earth's animals been subdued in perfection.
7:29
But such worlds are like paradise in comparison with the
7:32
early times of primitive man. During the pre planetary Prince
7:37
age, you would instinctively describe such a realm.
7:42
Could you be suddenly transported to a planet in this
7:45
stage of development as heaven on earth?
7:50
Human government in the conduct of material affairs continues to
7:54
function throughout this age of relative progress and
7:57
perfection. The public activities in the
8:00
world in the first stage of light and life, which I recently
8:04
visited. So he is telling us that he was
8:07
on a planet that had entered that first stage and what he saw
8:12
and he mentioned something that's interesting because he
8:15
says, when I visited this other planet, you know, they were
8:19
still they still had an economy financing, but their system was
8:25
that every adult worker contributed 10% of their wages
8:29
to the public treasury. And that was like out of
8:31
nowhere, they all of a sudden start talking about even in this
8:34
advanced age, societies developed to the point where
8:38
everybody starts to help one another.
8:41
And he goes into detail about it and says, well, here's how it
8:44
worked out. 3% of everybody's adult that worked, 3% of their
8:50
wages would be expended to the promotion of truth, science,
8:54
education and philosophy. 3% would be devoted to beauty,
8:59
play, social, leisure and art. 3% dedicated to goodness, social
9:04
service, altruism and religion. And then 1% would be assigned to
9:09
the insurance reserves against the risk of incapacity from
9:15
labor in like you get into an accident.
9:17
So they, so he's, he's telling us that, that in the, in that
9:20
first stage when mankind is really gotten its act together,
9:26
one problem that they solve through this 10% taxation is
9:30
that all of these services that we need are funded by us.
9:35
I, I just think that's interesting.
9:39
It's it's, it's literal too. You know, it's like practical.
9:44
They're telling us something that actually it's true.
9:47
You know, if if you were to bring somebody who lived in 1000
9:52
AD to where we are today, they would, they wouldn't be able to
9:55
comprehend how we were able to do what we were able to do.
9:59
But we still work and we still pay taxes and we, you know, we
10:04
still farm the land. So even in a, in a much more
10:09
progressive age, there will still be some certain
10:12
fundamentals within society that we'll always have to deal with
10:16
as mortals. And you know, to me, that
10:19
legitimizes the message that don't think for a moment that
10:22
when you get to the perfect age of mankind, that all of our
10:26
needs will be met and nothing will go wrong and everything
10:29
will be perfect because it won't be.
10:32
We're still going to be dealing with disease, even with the best
10:36
scientists. We'll still be dealing with
10:37
trying to find cures to things like cancer and so forth.
10:41
And, and we'll still have to work.
10:43
We'll still have to provide for each other.
10:45
In a functioning society, none of that goes away.
10:49
Sometimes people have a false sense that when we get to
10:51
heaven, that suddenly everything will be great.
10:54
We'll just be sitting around eating ice cream, you know,
10:57
telling God how much we love him and that that just that's
10:59
childlike it. It's not that's not an adult way
11:03
to look at life. A realistic, you know, the
11:06
universe is administrated. It's not just like a pinball
11:11
floating, bouncing around from bumper to bumper with no clear
11:14
direction. It's intelligently designed.
11:18
And I love that concept. Thank you for this time that
11:22
we've spent together. If you have a comment, check out
