The Post Bestowal Age · Urantia Radio

0:03
Welcome to Urantia Radio where cosmic reality and spiritual
0:08
truth come together. Sit back and enjoy the ride with
0:12
long time student and fellow truth seeker Jim Watkins as we
0:16
explore the 5th epical revelation of Expanded Truth,
0:20
The Urantia Book. Now there is a Science Symposium
0:28
IV in a few months and I would ask you to reach out to the
0:33
Urantia Fellowship For more information and and also the
0:36
Urantia Foundation. I want to get to that because
0:40
there was a great article written by a Urantia book reader
0:43
that you'll find in the Mini Messenger from a couple of weeks
0:46
ago. It was such a terrific article
0:49
because it really explained how the science of astronomy and and
0:54
primarily because of the the what we've learned from the
0:57
James Webb telescope. Astronomy is kind of slowly
1:00
catching up to the Urantia book portrayal of what the living
1:04
universe is is really all about South, for example.
1:09
Wonderful article. I would encourage you to read
1:11
it. David Neufer and in it he
1:15
discloses that science has a has a problem right now.
1:18
Science has a problem because the, the gravitational theory,
1:22
the theory of the general theory of relativity works to a certain
1:26
extent and has continued to be the foundation of what we think
1:32
about light and energy and quantum physics and dark energy
1:37
and black holes and all of these things that go into the theory
1:40
of general relativity, except for one thing.
1:44
It's not consistent with the way that the universe behaves.
1:48
And, and, and one of the reasons is, is because the in general
1:52
relativity, they don't believe. They do believe in a theoretical
1:56
Big Bang, a moment when there was nothing and then there was
2:00
something. But what they don't believe is
2:03
that there's a center core. And in Neufer's article, he
2:07
talks about how back in the day, they used to think that the
2:11
Earth was the center of the universe, and then it shifted to
2:15
the sun. And then we began to realize
2:18
that the planets all spun around the sun.
2:21
But what they haven't made that next step that the Urantia book
2:25
offers is that our sun, along with other Suns, all spin around
2:30
gigantic dark centers of gravity, which are themselves
2:36
the local cluster hubs of each universe.
2:39
So for example, we swing around Sagittarius A because
2:44
Sagittarius A is technically the center of our local cluster.
2:50
Assume we are responsive gravitationally to Sagittarius
2:55
A, which from the Urantia Book tells us it's also where A
3:00
Salvington is, Salvington being the headquarters world.
3:04
Michael's creation, the Urantia Book version of the universe is,
3:08
is starting to answer some of the questions and the
3:11
inconsistencies that they're discovering.
3:14
How do we take what we're learning now about the size and
3:19
scope of the of the matter in the universe?
3:22
And how do we reconcile that with with Einstein's general
3:25
theory of relativity, which states, among other things, that
3:29
the universe is only 13.8 billion years old and that
3:33
everything came from a an essential point?
3:36
Where is that point? And if that point is indeed
3:40
real, then how come they assume that the universe has the same
3:44
amount of density in every direction?
3:48
They can't both be right? And the Urantia book of course
3:52
talks about Havona and the Isle of Paradise and that that there
3:57
are 7 clusters of universes that circle around just like a solar
4:03
system around this central force.
4:06
But it's so huge, it's so expansive, that we don't even
4:11
see that we're in a concentric circle spinning around the, the,
4:17
the astronomers are confused, They don't know what to do.
4:21
But what they're finding is, according to David and his
4:23
wonderful article, Astronomies, Anomalies and Revealed
4:27
Cosmology, If you wanted I have it, I can send you the link.
4:32
They did a presentation on May 9th and I've got the link so
4:36
that you can see what David Neufer has done.
4:41
This is going to go down in history as revolutionary and he,
4:47
by the way, you can find out more about him at UB data.org.
4:52
His writing is great and boy, what a smart guy.
4:56
Got the website up rolling. We got the Urantia Radio stream
5:00
going. We're on the podcast Spectrum.
5:03
I'm thinking of doing video. I, I just, I just, I'm a radio
5:08
guy. I'm not a video guy.
5:11
And there's a reason for that anyway.
5:14
All right. But I love the podcast.
5:16
We're in our 8th year. We're almost at 200,000 people
5:20
who've heard it. And I think that's fantastic
5:23
because I'm sure a lot of these folks never heard of the Urantia
5:26
Book before. And we're here to sort of, I'll
5:30
tell you some thoughts about the and we're doing a little bit of
5:34
free form today because I haven't talked to you a lot
5:37
since I've been back from California.
5:43
But I did attend the wonderful thing that Diane Labrecque did.
5:48
She did this wonderful tribute, the Jubilee of Jubilee.
5:52
She does it every once in a while.
5:54
And I think this is my second one.
5:56
And we saw Gabriel, Gabriel and his wife showing us Galilee.
6:02
Oh man, what a great thing that he did.
6:04
He went out, he took his iPhone, he and his wife and they went to
6:09
the Cliff in, in, in one of the papers, there's an incident
6:13
where Jesus almost gets thrown off a Cliff by people are angry
6:18
at him for violating, you know, Hebrew law and proclaiming that
6:26
he represents God. And, and they literally got into
6:28
a tussle where they almost push Jesus over the Cliff of this
6:32
mountain. I think it's Gilboa is that, is
6:34
that the one? Anyway, but they were at that
6:39
mountain and, and it was sunset. So we were looking at the sun
6:43
setting. And then he looked to the east,
6:45
to the Sea of Galilee. Although you can't see it, you
6:48
could just barely see Mount Hermon, which in the Urantia
6:53
book is such an important place and, and in the Bible too.
6:59
And it was there was a great presentations from so many
7:03
different people. And, and I thought to myself,
7:05
this is the face. These are the people that are
7:09
the result of really the first full generation of the Urantia
7:15
book being published. Because if you go back to 1955,
7:19
what are we 70 years in right? 71 years and the people that I
7:25
saw and the testimony and the prayer and the spiritual flavor,
7:32
to me it was like looking at the future.
7:35
And this thought had come across my mind.
7:37
And if you had been on the the Jubilee of Jubilee celebration
7:41
this past weekend, maybe you felt the same way.
7:45
But I thought this is the future of Christianity because, and if
7:51
you listen to the way that people talked about Christ and
7:54
the way that they talked about the love of their father, it
7:57
really is it, it, it's the people who've not experienced
8:02
the Urantia book or people who don't know about the Urantia
8:05
book. They, they would look at that if
8:09
they walked into that Jubilee of Jubilees and they would think
8:13
that they were at a Christian revival because a lot of the
8:17
same sentiments, the way that we view Christ and his contribution
8:23
to us, his contribution indeed to everyone, the celebration,
8:29
the prayer, it, it sounded more like almost like a Christian
8:33
revival without all of the, the ornaments.
8:36
You know what I mean by ornaments.
8:38
It's like a, like the Christmas tree is a great symbol of the
8:41
Christian religion because it actually emerged out of a Pagan
8:46
religion in, in, as it converted folks in Germany and that area
8:53
of Europe. And so the, the, how the, the,
8:59
the Christmas tree has been, it carries so many different
9:03
strains of Pagan and Christian early Christian religion.
9:09
It's sort of absorbed everybody's, you know what I'm
9:12
saying? So the Christmas tree represents
9:14
sort of the adding on of other things in order to win people
9:19
over to the faith of of Jesus. And so the Urantia book is like
9:25
an advanced Christian group because they take into
9:29
consideration the fact that we are part of a system of worlds.
9:34
Outpost six O 6 is what I call it.
9:37
And what I'm going to read to you gives that substantiation
9:41
because we're going to jump into the post bestowal Son of man
9:45
age, which is what we're in and we're going to read from paper
9:49
52 Section 5, where it talks about the planetary mortal epics
9:56
and, and, and so just to kind of close out.
9:59
Thank you, Diane, thank you for all the wonderful people.
10:04
I I stayed through practically the whole thing.
10:06
Then my son came home, got had to go, but it was just truly a
10:11
wonderful event. And I think that we as members
10:14
in the Urantia book, we've done a great job.
10:18
I think the revelators, I think the midwares, I think that
10:22
they're, they're probably looking at what they're seeing
10:25
in the Urantia community and saying, I think, I think we're
10:28
on the right track anyway. So paper 52 delves into and it's
10:39
in the Section 2 of the book. So this Section 2 of the Urantia
10:44
book is all about what happens in the local universe.
10:48
And we are part of a local universe and that local universe
10:54
is under the sovereign dominion of Christ, Michael, Jesus of
10:58
Nazareth at the conclusion. And this is what we've been
11:01
talking about as far as day of Ascension and the 7th bestowal.
11:06
So in our local universe, which is under the jurisdiction of the
11:12
Creator's Son and His name on high is known as Michael or
11:17
McHale. And he's often sometimes
11:20
confused in Christian literature as being the Archangel Michael.
11:25
And the reason for that is because he is in authority, the
11:31
father of the archangels. So he is the leader.
11:34
And during the war in Heaven that occurred 200,250 thousand
11:40
years ago when Lucifer rebelled against the authority of
11:45
Michael's domain, essentially it was Michael who was on earth at
11:51
Mount Hermon who settled the Lucifer rebellion.
11:54
And that is is is captured in, in the, in the, in the Bible,
12:01
but it's often misunderstood is happening at the end of an age
12:05
because John the revelator was given to this vision.
12:09
And and they assume that that that is about to happen or it's
12:15
going to happen at some point. And it's where we get all of our
12:18
literature and our cultural identity in the Christian
12:22
religion of there being an end days.
12:25
Many people today believe that we are heading towards and they
12:29
talk about it often, whether it's, you know, Glenn Becker,
12:33
that we are at the we are heading towards the end of an
12:36
age that the Antichrist is going to reveal himself.
12:42
And trust me, with all the symbolisms in, in, in the book
12:46
of Revelations, it's not hard to come to that conclusion.
12:50
And they use the quotes in the Book of Revelation where, or
12:55
even in the Gospels where Jesus says, you know, I will come
12:59
again. And the apostles assumed that he
13:04
meant right away that, well, he's going to be back because
13:09
they were they, you know, he, they loved him.
13:12
They they didn't want him to leave and they wanted him to
13:16
come back and be a part of and to establish the Kingdom of
13:21
heaven on earth. And so it's easy to see, as the
13:25
Oranja book points out, it's easy to see that, that there was
13:30
a longing for the return, the second coming.
13:34
The Urantia book says, yeah, there's going to be a second
13:36
coming. Christ himself said, I will
13:39
return. We've talked about how at the
13:41
end of an age, he says I will return.
13:44
He is the planetary Prince of our world at this point.
13:47
He is the sovereign son of the universe, having completed the
13:53
father's mandate of the seven bestowals.
13:57
So there's a lot of moving parts here, but there's also a sort of
14:02
a standard that's explained in in Section 2 of the Urantia
14:07
book. What normally happens in a in an
14:11
area like ours, what normally would occur ours was a
14:15
spectacular event #1 because it was actually the Creator Son who
14:20
chose to bestow on our world. Usually avonal or creator sons
14:28
or magisterial sons, These are sons of a high order, and they
14:31
represent the Father and the Son on Paradise.
14:36
And so it is. It is customary for planets to
14:41
enjoy the company of these divine sons from time to time,
14:48
and in our in our case, we had an unusual circumstance.
14:52
We had a a planetary Prince who showed up around the time of the
14:58
the colored races, as it's explained in the Rancho book.
15:02
And at that time, the rebellion started, the rebellion against
15:07
Michael's authority, and it kind of threw everything in whack.
15:14
We were suddenly the, the rules that they were using to help
15:18
cultivate a civilization on our world went awry.
15:25
Calagastia, the divine son, the first revelation of, of the
15:31
spiritual world defaulted and he he joined Lucifer.
15:35
And that's what sort of set up off course we've been
15:39
languishing under because we've really lacked that early
15:42
building of a civilization. It all went kaput.
15:46
Interestingly, the Tower of Babel, which is a story that's
15:50
in the Bible, dates back to those days where there were
15:54
remnants of the Super race who were sent here along with
15:59
Calagasia the, the, the Prince of, of Urantia back then.
16:05
And when he defaulted, everything went crazy.
16:07
And there was a division among the ranks.
16:09
You have the Nodites, you have the Vanites, you had all these
16:12
different helpers, if you will, or what I, I like to refer to as
16:17
the Anunnaki. And there was great division and
16:21
consequently civilization stumbled and it wasn't until the
16:26
appearance of the second divine order of sonship, which are the
16:30
Adam and Eve's. They were the second revelation.
16:35
And that's where essentially Genesis takes up the story,
16:39
symbolism and all. And they defaulted.
16:43
They went 100 and so years there was the great temptation which
16:47
we can get into at another time. But the essential result of that
16:51
was the consequence that yet again mankind was deprived of
16:57
that spiritual instruction from above.
17:02
And while Adam and Eve made a hearty attempt at reconciliation
17:08
and rehabilitation of the human race, it it did not achieve its
17:13
normalcy. We didn't recalibrate.
17:16
There was still the rebellion. We were essentially cut off from
17:21
the rest of the universe. And then around, I don't know,
17:26
about 4000 years ago, they send an emergency son.
17:31
And this is where things start getting really juicy.
17:34
So now we've had three visitations, Revelation, epical
17:38
Revelations. We've had Calagasia in his 100,
17:43
we had Adam and Eve. And then around 4000 years ago,
17:48
Melchizedek shows up and he's an emergency son.
17:51
And he is sent here by the spiritual authorities to our
17:54
world because the light of truth is fading from humanity.
18:01
We're, we're going backwards. Humanity has made such great
18:05
progress in almost 400,000 years.
18:08
And now it's sort of back backtracking paganism,
18:13
immorality. I mean, the whole story of of
18:16
Lot and his wife in Sodom and Gomorrah is a testament to the
18:22
fact that things were pretty crazy back then.
18:25
And, and while there was intellectual progress, there was
18:28
not spiritual progress. There was a hazy concept of
18:35
deity, but most mostly it was simple ghost worship and
18:39
sacrifice. And that was the state of
18:42
humanity 4000 years ago. Melchizedek shows up, he sets up
18:47
a school for spiritual instruction and starts
18:50
recruiting all of these more advanced pupils from the
18:54
surrounding tribes of Mesopotamia in the area of Ur.
18:59
And this is the age of the Sumerians.
19:06
Abraham was a Sumerian of Sumerian extract, and he was
19:12
personally chosen by Melchizedek to carry forward the idea.
19:16
Two, really. One was monotheism.
19:20
Somebody had to carry that banner of monotheism forward to
19:24
keep the light of truth alive in the minds and hearts of men.
19:29
The second reason, probably equally as important, is that
19:33
Melchizedek was quite aware that Michael, the Creator's son, was
19:37
going to have his bestowal on our world, that he had chosen
19:45
personally this world, and he had announced it even to Adam.
19:48
Adam knew it. Adam was teaching this truth for
19:52
as long as he could, and he lived over 900 years.
19:55
Isaac and all of the subsequent prophets carried this truth
19:59
forward that we were one day going to be visited by a
20:05
bestowal son, the Son of God. And the whole Hebrew faith was
20:11
centered around this great promise that that the Son of God
20:15
would come and he would save the Jewish people and set up his
20:19
reign of peace on earth. And the Jews were the chosen
20:23
people. So now you've gotten this sort
20:27
of thumbnail of what's going on here behind the scenes, because
20:31
Christ knows he's coming here. He's going to bestow himself
20:34
among the the Jews. And Michael is of course, the
20:39
creator son of the universe. He can pick and choose where he
20:43
wants to bestow. And he chose our world, one of
20:45
10 million. Why did he choose our world?
20:49
Because it afforded him the best opportunity to deal with and
20:54
face the worst of circumstances. But that's not really the way it
21:00
always works. We were the exception to the
21:03
rule. So now let's get into Paper 52
21:07
and we'll tell you how it really is supposed to be when things
21:12
are operating normally for most worlds like ours.
21:17
And this is from Paper 5 or Paper 52, Section 5, the post
21:22
bestowal sun man. And they're going to tell us how
21:26
things work. And it reads.
21:30
When a certain standard of intellectual and spiritual
21:33
development is attained on a, on an inhabited world, a paradise,
21:37
bestowal sun always arrives, a normal world.
21:41
She does not appear in the flesh until the races have ascended to
21:44
the highest level of intellectual development and
21:47
ethical attainment. But on our world Urantia, the
21:52
Bestowal Sun, even your own Creator Sun, appeared at the
21:56
close of the Adamic dispensation.
21:59
But this is not the usual order of events on the world's of
22:03
space. When the world's have become
22:06
ripe for spiritualization, the bestowal Sun arrives.
22:10
These Suns always belong to the Magisterial or Avonal Order,
22:14
except in that case once in each local universe when the
22:20
Creator's Son prepares for his terminal bestowal on some
22:24
evolutionary world, as occurred when Michael of Nebadon appeared
22:28
on Urantia to bestow himself upon your mortal races.
22:34
Only one world in near 10 million can enjoy such a gift.
22:39
All other worlds are spiritually advanced by the bestowal of a
22:43
Paradise Son of the Avonal Order of the Bestowal Son arrives on a
22:49
world of high educational culture and encounters a race
22:54
spiritually trained and prepared to assimilate advanced teachings
22:59
and to appreciate the bestowable mission.
23:01
Now, that wasn't what happened when Christ showed up, was it?
23:08
This is an age characterized by the worldwide pursuit of moral
23:12
culture and spiritual truth. The mortal passion of this
23:16
dispensation is the penetration of cosmic reality and communion
23:21
with spiritual reality. Team.
23:24
That's where we should have been.
23:25
Had the Adamic default not occurred, we may have been much
23:30
better prepared when Christ showed up.
23:33
And He knew this by the way He knew what He was getting into.
23:39
The revelations of truth are extended to include the Super
23:42
universe. So he would have come and he
23:47
would have taught us about his Father and heaven and the Isle
23:53
of Paradise. The Urantia Book actually had to
23:56
do that. This is the probably the
23:58
significance of the Urantia Book is that it is sort of like, like
24:02
you imagine a bookshelf and you have all these pockets where
24:07
there should be books, you know, knowledge, books of knowledge
24:10
that should line up the bookshelf.
24:13
Well, when it comes to the human race, particularly on this
24:17
world, our bookshelf is pretty empty.
24:20
And there were a lot of holes of information that we simply
24:24
weren't aware of by the time Christ showed up.
24:26
So he had to come in the Urantia book.
24:28
What it did is it pushed all those books together, gave us
24:33
this book that fills in all the missing gaps.
24:36
So now we know about the the Jerusalem.
24:39
Now we know about the mansion worlds.
24:41
Now we know what happens right after we pass from this world.
24:46
The tarantula book tells us about the dispensation.
24:49
The tarantula book tells us about the dispensation that
24:53
Christ inaugurated upon his death and upon the appearance of
24:56
the spirit of truth and all of those things that we outlined in
25:00
the previous podcast, the after effects of of Christ showing up
25:04
here. This is where it gets
25:07
interesting. Now remember on a normal world
25:13
had had our creator son gone to a world that was more normal,
25:17
they would have been going through an age that that the
25:22
mortal races were already spiritual.
25:25
The bestowal son lives and dies for the spiritual uplift of the
25:29
mortal races of a world. He establishes the new and
25:32
living way. His life is an incarnation of
25:36
Paradise, truth in mortal flesh, that very truth, even the spirit
25:42
of Truth, and the knowledge of which men shall be free.
25:48
Can I read that again? The bestowable Son lives and
25:53
dies for the spiritual uplift of the mortal races of a world.
25:58
He establishes the new and living way.
26:01
His life is an incarnation of Paradise, truth in mortal flesh,
26:06
that very truth, even the spirit of Truth and the knowledge of
26:11
which men shall be free. So we're endowed by our Creator
26:17
Father with certain inalienable rights, and free will is is
26:25
paramount. God gave us free will so that we
26:28
could freely choose. And the problem is we don't
26:33
always choose the best way the the way that God would want us.
26:38
And This is why we have the problems we have before the days
26:42
of Christ. Michael, and I'm reading again
26:44
on Urantia, All Souls slept on until the dispensational or
26:49
special millennial resurrections.
26:53
They make a note here that even Moses was lying in state.
26:57
Essentially, he was not permitted to go over to the
27:01
other side until the occasion of a special resurrection.
27:05
And who had made that claim was like he filed A lawsuit or
27:11
something. The planetary Prince Calagasia
27:13
said. I know Moses is doesn't get to
27:16
to go. And I and I think the motive
27:18
behind that is because Moses was eventually going to be part of
27:22
the 24 elders and Calagasia knew he wanted to basically keep him
27:27
for himself. That's just sort of my sort of
27:33
perspective of that. But anyway, up until the
27:36
resurrection of the bestowal Son, the Urantia book tells us
27:39
the third day after yielding up his incarnated life, he ascends
27:43
to the right hand of the universal Father, receives the
27:46
assurances of the acceptance of the bestowal mission, and
27:49
returns to the Creator's Son at the headquarters of the
27:54
universe. He is now the Sovereign Son.
27:57
He now speaks for the Father and he joins with the universe
28:01
Mother Spirit in eternal fidelity.
28:07
And we talked about that leads to the Jubilee of Jubilees.
28:11
So we celebrated last week. The post pastoral Sun age may
28:17
extend from 10,000 to 100,000 years.
28:20
There is no arbitrary time allotted to any of these
28:23
dispensational eras. This is a time of great ethical
28:28
and spiritual progress. Under the spiritual influence of
28:32
these ages, human character undergoes tremendous
28:35
transformational and phenomenal development.
28:39
It becomes possible to put the Golden Rule into practical
28:43
operation. The teachings of Jesus are
28:45
really applicable to a mortal world which has had the
28:49
preliminary training of the pre bestowal sons with the
28:53
dispensations of character ennoblement and cultural
28:56
augmentation. So in other words, because we
29:00
we're deprived of that early cultural development as an
29:03
effect of the previous bestowals, Christ came, but we
29:08
weren't really ready for him is the essential truth of what
29:12
they're saying. Which tells me that when Christ
29:17
does return, it will be when the situation is better.
29:22
And that's one of the challenges that I think all Christians have
29:25
to come to terms, otherwise they're going to meet with
29:29
continued failure. If they keep saying, oh, Christ
29:33
is coming when the Antichrist, well, if I read the Urantia book
29:37
correctly, it declares it Christ Michael will return.
29:42
But there has to be a recalibration to the normalcy.
29:46
Now what could happen is in a Bonal or a magisterial son could
29:53
arrive, how, how would Christians accept that?
30:01
If someone were to come and say I come on behalf of Jesus, how
30:04
how would we, I am a magisterial son.
30:07
What audience would he have? He wouldn't have an audience.
30:10
People would reject him, just like the Jewish leaders in in
30:15
Rome and the Roman leaders rejected Christ.
30:19
They weren't prepared for them, just like today, we're not
30:22
really prepared. If Christ were to come, if
30:24
Christ were to come and present himself as Michael, the only
30:28
people that would know this truth would be us.
30:32
We would be the only group of people on the world that would
30:35
know what that means. And then of course, that would
30:37
probably get people to start thinking about this mysterious
30:42
book. And then I I'm not altogether
30:47
sure that even under these circumstances of having Christ
30:52
come back and say I'm, I am the Lord, I was Michael.
30:56
If he were to do that, we would, the world will reject him except
31:00
for us and, and for those who did pick up the Urantia book and
31:04
start reading it, do you really think that in Mass, we are at a
31:08
stage where the average person on the street is going to be
31:11
able to, to appreciate the level of spiritual and philosophical
31:17
truth contained in this marvelous book?
31:22
I'm, I've been reading it for four decades and I, I'm still
31:25
astounded by its concepts. And in listening to the people
31:30
that came forth last weekend and showed their devotion and
31:34
dedication to Christ and the Father, they're still amazed.
31:40
This is the gift that keeps on giving.
31:43
And, and the most frustrating thing about it is it that there
31:46
aren't enough people or there aren't more people who can
31:49
appreciate the fullness of this wonderful revelation that we
31:53
have in our possession. And it's it's why we do these
32:01
podcasts. These are beacons of hope for
32:04
the people that are spiritually dark.
32:05
And let me tell you something, the world right now is
32:09
spiritually dark. Oh, and maybe maybe I shouldn't
32:15
bring this. But you know, when you think
32:18
about, you know, in these last few weeks, we've been seeing a
32:21
lot of things happening. You know, we've got this war in
32:24
Iran. We've got Europe, which is
32:28
seemed less than a decade away from total annihilation, non
32:34
assimilation, AI is destroying jobs.
32:38
It's going to create a subset of people, highly educated,
32:43
frustrated and angry, angry people.
32:46
Those were the circumstances in the early 1920s in China where
32:50
you had an educated class with nothing to do and they were
32:54
angry because they were living in poverty.
32:58
And this was the same during the Bolshevik Revolution because
33:02
there was a small group of people that seem to be enjoying
33:05
everything and everybody else well.
33:07
And this is to the circumstance in China, you've got 20% of the
33:11
population who supports the communist system because they're
33:15
doing well in it. This people that went to school
33:18
and went and studied for government jobs, they like
33:22
communism. It works for them.
33:25
And in our country capitalism, it, it works for those who are
33:29
capitalists. But right now with, with what's
33:33
happening in the cultural trends, I think there's going to
33:36
be a lot more worse before there's a lot more better.
33:39
And we're not growing spiritually except for the
33:43
Urantia book. The Urantia book is the newest
33:46
infusion of advanced spiritual truth to come along in a long,
33:51
long time. But it, it the, the, the lack of
33:57
reception should be the Canary in the coal mine, the fact that
34:02
there are more, not more people hungry for this kind of truth
34:06
because they're more obsessed with other things being angry,
34:12
the isms. But you know, we're, we're
34:14
making progress slow, but sure. And and I'm not that concerned
34:19
of whether or not the tarantula becomes a popular fad in my
34:24
lifetime. It, it's not going anywhere And
34:27
these truths will be here and they'll be a small army of
34:30
people. And I, and I do believe that if
34:32
there is a a chance that an avonal or a magisterial son
34:39
would show or at the Melchizedek and the 12 receivers were to
34:44
show themselves, if Adam and Eve somehow revealed themselves, if
34:49
any of these things happened, there would be 1 community of
34:52
people who would be ready to receive them.
34:57
And that would be the people who read the Urantia book.
35:01
And there are a million of us out there and we're growing
35:05
every day. We're growing in communities
35:08
without any help from anybody. The amount of beautiful creative
35:13
works that are emerging from this group inspired by the
35:18
revelatory teachings is off the charts.
35:22
And I believe we're making great progress.
35:24
But you don't need me to tell you that.
35:26
But I do say that if we are to prepare, let us prepare for the
35:31
next visitation. Let us be prepared just as
35:35
Melchizedek was trying to prepare the people in the 1st
35:39
century and even 2000 years before that.
35:43
It may be a couple of 1000 years before the next sun shows up.
35:48
The Urantia book may be the seed that can prepare the soil for
35:54
people to be receptive to that next revelatory event, epical or
35:59
epochal revelatory event. And if it takes 2000 years, if
36:04
it takes 10, it takes what it takes.
36:07
You know, what I've learned, if I've learned anything, is that
36:10
God is not in a hurry. He's got all the time He needs.
36:15
And I think He's going to give us as much time as we need to
36:20
get to that state where we can truly be welcomed into the
36:23
universe at large. If you want to
