The Adam Challenge - Can We Handle the Truth? · Urantia Radio

0:00
Welcome to another edition of the Urantia Radio Podcast.
0:02
My name is Jim Watkins, longtime reader and student of the 5th
0:06
Epical Revelation. And we've got a number of things
0:09
we're going to talk about on this edition #1 We're going to
0:12
talk about a paper that I'm working on that talks about the
0:15
contributions of Adam and Eve. So we'll get into that a little
0:18
bit. Also, some updates on other
0:21
business that we've been doing here at the Urantia Radio
0:23
Podcast. And then we're going to get down
0:25
and dirty on the subject of water.
0:28
Water, an interesting subject that has a lot of
0:30
intersectionality with the Urancha book.
0:33
And we'll get to that having to do with life on other worlds.
0:35
So all this and more coming up on the Urancha Radio Podcast.
0:39
Also want to thank the folks over at the Urancha Foundation
0:42
for allowing me to make a presentation and as part of
0:45
their Spotlight series. So Joanne Strobel, thank you so
0:49
much. I'm humbled by your invite and
0:51
if you want to see the end result of what we talked about
0:53
last Saturday, if you go to the Urantia Foundation website,
0:57
whichisurantia.org, look for the Spotlight series videos and you
1:01
can see what we talked about with regards to mental illness
1:04
and the Urantia Book. It's I think, very interesting
1:07
information and I hope that you'll enjoy it.
1:09
And I want to thank again the folks over at the Foundation for
1:12
allowing me to host this past Saturday.
1:15
So, so much to talk about, so much to discuss and we will do
1:18
so in just a second. Got a good range of topics that
1:40
we're going to talk about this time on the Rancho Radio
1:43
podcast. That's some music here.
1:46
For those who are into this kind of music, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,
1:51
it's pretty well known in India, somebody turned on, turned on an
1:55
album years ago called Night Songs and I'd say about half the
2:01
album is just pretty amazing. And then some of it is very
2:05
almost leaning more towards traditional Indian music.
2:08
So if you enjoy that kind of music, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and
2:14
welcome to the Urancho Radio Podcast, I drafted an article
2:19
recently. I took a bold attempt to try to
2:23
explain in my own words how Adam and Eve and their influence
2:29
played out over the millennia. And and I put it to pen.
2:34
I wrote it. It took about an hour to write
2:38
and and then I put it away. I I I said, OK, I know that I'm
2:43
probably never going to publish this because, you know, I I I
2:48
don't think that the world is ready to hear about Adam and Eve
2:53
and what their progeny was. I could have a private
2:57
discussion with anybody about it.
3:00
But I I don't know if the masses would be ready because today
3:06
everything is very contentious. When you talk about race or
3:11
gender, very contentious. You step on the wrong rock and
3:17
you're going to slip and fall on the river and it could end up
3:21
ruining your friendship or it could start a very heated
3:25
discussion and you know the old saying in in an argument, the
3:28
truth is lost and then you forget the whole.
3:32
And this is part and parcel. Why?
3:34
Why I think a lot of people stay away from the racial element of
3:38
the Urantia Book. Because the Urantia Book in the
3:41
part three series of books attempts to explain where these
3:47
six Sangeek races came from, how they all merged, emerged from
3:52
the same family, over 19 children born in one family and
3:56
each had kids that represented the the full spectrum of of
4:02
colored races. You had the yellow, you had the
4:06
red, you had the orange, you had the green, you had the blue.
4:09
And then ultimately the what they call the indigo.
4:15
And those were the six original races, but they'd already been
4:19
in existence for quite a bit of time by the time Adam and Eve
4:22
had showed up. Now I'm paraphrasing my
4:25
paraphrasing. The question I have for you is,
4:30
is this the time where maybe many human beings might be
4:36
curious enough to know why it is we have the discord that we have
4:40
today between the races? Because there's a lot of
4:43
misunderstanding that would be cleared up.
4:47
Because my thesis is that while some of the sangicks enjoyed
4:54
much greater benefit, it put other races at a clear
4:58
disadvantage. Because you had the majority of
5:02
the blue race and and many of the red and the yellow.
5:06
Well, not so much the red because they had already
5:08
migrated pretty much over to North America by the time Adam
5:12
and Eve made their appearance on on the pages of Human History.
5:17
And consequently development of species occurred at a greater
5:23
pace. That you could say in certain
5:25
areas of the world and not so much in others, for a whole host
5:29
of reasons, not only genetic but also environmental.
5:33
And that is the way that we can look at this conundrum that we
5:38
have is to wires were certain races oppressed for a period of
5:43
time and others not so much. And I think the Adamic story
5:48
really opens up the discussion that it's really not anybody's
5:51
fault. It's just the way the cards were
5:53
laid. But we can make up for that lost
5:56
time. You know, I I refer to it, but
6:00
my son a few years ago got me this wonderful wall map which is
6:04
a timeline of human history broken down by period Kingdom,
6:09
continent. And clearly it shows that human
6:13
evolution accelerated greatly in the Mesopotamian region, some
6:18
areas of China and certainly some areas later on in the
6:22
European region of of the world. And it is consistent with the
6:28
Urantia book explaining how the genetic influence of Adam and
6:33
Eve played itself out over time. And the question I have is, are
6:40
we ready to hear that truth? Would it help us understand how
6:47
the different races sort of split up and in in today, how it
6:55
all played out and what what do we look forward to in the
6:57
future? What can we learn about this
7:00
from the future? Because obviously Adam and Eve
7:02
were sent here, they were put on this race, this earth, they they
7:06
were supposed to make a mighty contribution.
7:09
So if you're interested, I will send you the article privately,
7:14
because I trust the people who listen to this podcast.
7:18
I think they're pretty smart. I'll send you the an advanced
7:22
version of it. Just e-mail me
7:23
urantiabook@gmail.com, Urantia Book radio.
7:27
Sorry, urantiabookradio@gmail.com and
7:31
I'll send you the preview of the article in a PDF.
7:34
And then you could tell me whether or not you think it's,
7:36
it's worthy of being posted on the Urantia Radio website
7:40
because the last thing I want to do is create a stir or, you
7:45
know, create a hornet's nest. I don't want to bring a negative
7:48
light because people today, like I say they're, they're much more
7:51
sensitive to any discussion about race or gender.
7:56
And and that's not what this is about.
7:58
This is not about stirring that up or making any kind of
8:03
declaration speaking on behalf of the Rancho revelators.
8:06
I don't need to do that. But I do think the Adamic Story
8:12
would go a long way to helping, helping us appreciate how much
8:16
of an effect that they had on our on our race and on our
8:19
culture. Also want to mention to you that
8:22
the Ranchi Foundation was gracious enough to allow me to
8:26
appear on their Spotlight series, and they have those
8:29
every month and I encourage you to check them out.
8:33
And it runs on the weekend, usually for about half an hour
8:35
or so. Anyway, they took the
8:37
presentation that I had produced on the mental illness aspect of
8:42
the Urancha book and how the Urancha book addresses the
8:44
subject of mental illness. And so it's on the Urancha
8:49
Foundation Spotlight Series website.
8:52
Just go to urancha.org and I'm sure you'll find it there.
8:56
And so thank you to the Foundation and particularly
8:59
Joanne Strobel and also a shout out to Brother Josh for for
9:04
helping me fine tune the data and the overall presentation.
9:09
And I got an opportunity to meet a lot of folks, hopefully some
9:12
of them that I'll be able to bring on this podcast in future
9:15
episodes. So another interesting thing
9:19
that came up this week and I want to kind of delve into this
9:22
a little bit is the idea of water.
9:25
Now my good friend Joel Garbin, who's been on the program
9:29
numerous times and he's kind of a science guy, he sent me this
9:33
article. And if you listen to this
9:35
program, you know that I'm a big fan of astronomy.
9:38
And in the article it talks about how with the advances of
9:41
the James Webb Telescope and some other recent advances in in
9:45
science and astronomy technology, they've decided that
9:49
the best way to look for exoplanets around us in our
9:55
Galaxy is before they used. And they depended on a lot of
10:00
what they call this tidal event, so that if a large planet was
10:06
passing through the the Equatorial path of this, their
10:11
solar sun, we could detect whether or not there are large
10:16
planets that circle some of these Suns that are nearby or
10:19
far away. And but we weren't getting
10:22
anywhere. It seemed like we were always
10:24
finding the same conundrum, which would be planets that are
10:27
either too small or or too large, not much of rotation.
10:31
They're too close to the sun, too hot, or they'd be too far
10:35
away, too far away from the sun. And so we have this idea in
10:40
astronomy and astrophysics that the Goldilocks, and I'm sure
10:44
you've heard of that the Goldilocks premises we try, we
10:47
try to find planets that are just right, that they're just
10:51
the right distance where they can have water, they can have an
10:54
atmosphere, not too cold, not too hot, and hence the
10:58
Goldilocks zone. Anyway, so now they've come
11:02
across a new technique in which they're looking for certain
11:07
chemical compounds that would represent water.
11:12
Astronomers now believe that water is a better guide to
11:16
finding planets with a certain signature and they think that
11:20
and there aren't not a lot of details coming out about this.
11:24
But I think it's exciting from a Urantia book point of view
11:26
because the Urantia Book is is front and center it.
11:31
It has entire chapters dedicated to the different kinds of life
11:35
forms that evolve on all kinds of planets, most of them being
11:39
satellites to other planets that are themselves satellites to a a
11:46
singular or double solar parent. So for example, it's more likely
11:52
that we would find a habitable sphere of life orbiting a larger
11:57
planet orbiting the sun rather than orbiting the Sun directly.
12:01
And lo and behold, the Uranchovic makes its
12:04
declaration. Our Earth is the exception to
12:09
the rule. Usually a life bearing planet
12:11
would find itself in close proximity to say, a planet like
12:15
Jupiter or Saturn, and it would receive enough light and heat
12:19
from both the larger sphere that it circles and the solar parent.
12:25
That's the normal process, according to the Urantia Book.
12:29
And now our astronomers are trying to are, are are figuring
12:32
that out as well, that it's much more probable that life would
12:36
exist on a world that circles a larger sphere, like a moon and
12:41
then wonderful. And now they're going to go
12:43
after this with looking for water signatures.
12:47
So I wanted to go into the Urantia Book and look up water,
12:52
just because sometimes that's what I do.
12:55
And let me see what I can share with you here.
12:57
Here's some quotes about water from the Uranchi book it says
13:02
the entire science of and it goes off on two different
13:04
directions. So I'll I'll try to make some
13:06
sense of this. In this particular paper, which
13:10
is I think Paper 7, they're talking about how water is a
13:14
great example of how why sometimes science gets things
13:19
wrong and and the dogmatic nature of science sometimes gets
13:26
in the way of our own discovery of just how unique the universe
13:29
really is. So for as an example, they say
13:32
the entire science of mathematics, the whole domain of
13:35
philosophy, the highest physics of chemistry, could not predict
13:39
or know that the union of two gaseous hydrogen atoms with one
13:43
gaseous oxygen atom would result in a new and qualitatively super
13:49
additive substance, liquid water.
13:53
The understanding knowledge of this one physiochemical
13:56
phenomenon should have prevented the development of materialistic
14:00
philosophy and mechanistic cosmology.
14:04
It goes on to say in in paper 12, section 9, paragraph 4,
14:10
Technical analysis does not reveal what a person or a thing
14:13
can do. For example, water is used
14:16
effectively to extinguish fire. The water will put out fire is a
14:22
fact of everyday experience, but no analysis of water could ever
14:27
be made to disclose such a property.
14:30
Analysis determines that water is composed of hydrogen and
14:35
oxygen. A further study of these
14:38
elements discloses that water is the real supporter of combustion
14:43
and that hydrogen will itself freely burn.
14:48
So there you have an example of how why science can never
14:52
actually, with complete success, prove any anything.
14:56
We can't assume anything. This whole debate about climate
15:00
change is wrapped around one theory, whether or not carbon
15:04
more of it, less of it, and the impact that it has on an
15:08
environment. But science has not settled on
15:10
this, even though that's, you know, a debate we could have
15:14
somewhere else. But there are plenty of
15:15
scientists who will argue that carbon, and an abundance of
15:18
carbon is is the source of life. All right, so back to this paper
15:25
15. This where it gets, this where
15:28
it talks about water elsewhere in the universe.
15:31
This is pretty interesting. Says the Super universe of
15:35
Orvinson is illuminated and warmed by more than 10 trillion
15:40
blazing Suns. These Suns are the stars of your
15:43
observable astronomic system. More than two trillion are too
15:49
distant and too small even to be seen from Urantia.
15:53
Now that was written in 1934. But in the Master universe,
15:58
there are as many Suns as there are glasses of water in the
16:03
oceans of your world. So I I had to do what I had to
16:08
do. I had to go to Google, and
16:10
Google tells me that there are 326 million trillion glasses of
16:16
water on our planet. Isn't that amazing?
16:20
326 million trillion multiplied by 8 glasses.
16:26
So, you know, you do the math. That's a whole lot of water and
16:30
that's a whole lot of sun. And that I I've said this
16:34
before, think about how many billions and trillions of Suns
16:38
there are. And each one of those Suns
16:40
aggregated as a whole represents just the physical aspect of
16:44
deity. Now, on to the subject of water
16:48
itself. The physical plant life and the
16:51
Marantia world of living things both require moisture, but this
16:55
is largely supplied by the subsoil system of circulation,
17:00
which extends all over the sphere.
17:02
And they're talking specifically about Jerusalem.
17:06
The water systems is not entirely subsurface for that,
17:09
for there are many canals interconnecting the sparkling
17:14
lakes of Jerusalem. So water on Jerusalem is the
17:17
same as water here. The atmosphere of Jerusalem is a
17:21
three gas mixture. This air is very similar to that
17:24
of our world Urantia, with the addition of a gas adapted to the
17:28
respiration of the Marantia order of life.
17:32
The third gas in no way unfits the air for the respiration of
17:35
animals or plants of the material orders.
17:38
That's what we have to look forward to.
17:41
On Jerusalem, though you have Marancha bodies, you continue
17:46
through all seven of the mansion worlds to eat, drink and eat and
17:50
rest. You partake of the Marancha
17:52
order of food, a Kingdom of living energy unknown on the
17:56
material world. Both food and water are fully
18:01
utilized in the Marancha body. There is no residual waste.
18:06
Pause to consider that Mansonia #1, the first mansion world, is
18:11
a very material sphere presenting the early beginnings
18:15
of the Marantia regime. You are still near human and not
18:19
far removed from the limited viewpoints of mortal life, but
18:23
each world discloses definite progress from sphere to sphere.
18:29
You grow less material, more intellectual, and slightly more
18:33
spiritual. The spiritual progress is
18:36
greatest on the last of the three, seven of the seven
18:39
progressive worlds, the seven mansion worlds.
18:42
But we know one thing. We know that water exists and
18:47
will continue to exist. And I find that pretty
18:50
fascinating, don't you? That's going to do it for this
18:53
episode of the Rancho Radio podcasts.
18:55
I look forward to our next episode.
18:57
And as always, if there's something that you want to have
19:01
us discuss or talk about here on this program, your Rancho book,
19:04
radio@gmail.com Until next time, God bless.
