What Truth is Revealed In The Urantia Book? · Urantia Radio

• 0:00
  And welcome to another edition of the Urancha Radio Podcast.
• 0:03
  I am your host, Jim Watkins, and today it won't be a long
• 0:07
  podcast, but I did want to pass along what I think is some
• 0:10
  really good information. We've got a spotlight series
• 0:14
  that I am fortunate and humble enough to be hosting for the
• 0:17
  folks over at the Urancha Foundation, so I'm excited about
• 0:20
  that. I'll share that with you.
• 0:22
  Also, I got an interesting e-mail from a close friend about
• 0:25
  the podcast and I want to address some of it and some
• 0:29
  things about the way that Jesus taught the truth and what we can
• 0:33
  learn from his example. And then I've also posted a new
• 0:37
  article on my website urantiaradio.net, and it talks
• 0:41
  about the importance of the Urantia book in this day and
• 0:44
  age. So we'll get to all that in just
• 0:45
  a moment here on the Urantia Radio Podcast.
• 1:02
  Don't ask me exactly how I can explain this or the science
• 1:06
  behind it, but you're listening to what the astronomers have
• 1:12
  picked up as audio signals from the Sagittarius energy field.
• 1:21
  And I think the Sagittarius constellation is where the
• 1:26
  headquarters world of Salvington is.
• 1:28
  Can somebody please correct me on that?
• 1:31
  I'd like to know if if that's an accurate statement.
• 1:34
  I believe it is. I I believe they say that the
• 1:36
  the energy epicenter of Nebedon is in the Sagittarius star
• 1:43
  system. So I that's the sound of audio
• 1:47
  or energy coming from Sagittarius and amazing when
• 1:59
  it's beautiful in a lot of ways. I'm just sorry it's in mono.
• 2:04
  I wish it was in stereo. Welcome, welcome to the Urantia
• 2:06
  Radio Podcast and I am excited about something coming up that
• 2:13
  will be on this Saturday. So today is the 11th, I think
• 2:17
  it's the 13th and I'm going to do a spotlight series on the
• 2:22
  Urantia Foundation's Spotlight series series.
• 2:25
  And if you want to find out, if you want to listen, I think it's
• 2:27
  at 12:00 or 12:00 PM on Saturday, January 13th, that's
• 2:34
  Eastern Time. If you live in another time
• 2:38
  zone, I think it's 11:00 AM Central and 9:00 AM Pacific.
• 2:44
  And I'm going to be talking about mental illness and some
• 2:47
  things that I picked up on the Arrancha book about the way that
• 2:52
  they address mental illness. And and it's built around paper.
• 2:56
  I think it's 61 or paper 161 where Jesus meets a little boy
• 3:03
  or a boy in the hills and the boy is very troubled and very
• 3:06
  anxious and he avoids his friends.
• 3:10
  And Jesus picks up on this when he meets him alone in the hills
• 3:14
  and tries to engage in the young lad.
• 3:16
  And he finally does win the boy over to him and opens him up and
• 3:20
  and then gives him what I think is really great advice on how to
• 3:23
  overcome anxiety and fear in the world.
• 3:27
  And I got to thinking about how much money and resources and
• 3:32
  time and effort goes into treating people who are
• 3:35
  suffering from anxiety and fear, which is natural because we are
• 3:41
  animal origin beings and animals are naturally fearful and throw
• 3:46
  in a little intelligence and some consciousness in there and
• 3:49
  you've got some potential for real problems.
• 3:53
  And the arrange book also says many times that the world is
• 3:57
  very unsettling right now because it's going through such
• 4:00
  a a drastic transition. I think in paper 195 it says man
• 4:05
  is unsettled and naturally because for thousands of years
• 4:10
  things just sort of went at a steady pace.
• 4:13
  Not much change from generation, or every once in a while there'd
• 4:16
  be some epical change, but by and large everything was on a
• 4:20
  steady course. But then all the sudden the 19th
• 4:22
  century happened and we were off and running.
• 4:25
  And the world is very complex. And when you see people that are
• 4:28
  out on the street or homeless or suffering from anxiety or all
• 4:32
  kinds of different disorders, you start to realize that this
• 4:36
  shift to this, this transition is not easy on people.
• 4:41
  And This is why I think many people can't, at least in our
• 4:45
  country, they have trouble. And how does our society
• 4:49
  respond? Well, take this a lot of
• 4:52
  problems that we have, our addiction problems and what do
• 4:55
  we do to fix that? We prescribe more drugs.
• 5:00
  I think everybody statistically is on something these days and
• 5:04
  and and it's not helping. And that's my point is that I, I
• 5:08
  I'm involved in a lot of news and information gathering for
• 5:13
  another podcast that I do. And almost every time there's a
• 5:16
  shooting or some sort of mass violence attack, it's typically
• 5:21
  mostly done by somebody who is is actually being treated for
• 5:26
  mental illness. And then there's a lot of
• 5:29
  studies out the one particular that I read twice is Doctor
• 5:34
  Thomas Staz's report in the 1960s that he believes that a
• 5:39
  lot of mental illness is directly tied to anxiety and
• 5:43
  fear, anxiety and fear. And the Urantia Book has all of
• 5:49
  these incredible statements about how the powers that can be
• 5:55
  unlocked from the reservoirs of the human mind if we allow the
• 5:58
  spirit to play a role in some of our problem solving.
• 6:02
  And so that's what the presentation is about.
• 6:05
  It's taking some of the statements from the Orangi book
• 6:08
  and applying them and and then asking the question, should
• 6:11
  psychiatry, should big Pharma? Should counselors?
• 6:16
  Should people who are in the in the business of therapy
• 6:19
  providing therapy to their patients, doctors, counselors,
• 6:25
  case managers, maybe they should take a look at what the Orantia
• 6:29
  book is saying, which is that people are also spirit into well
• 6:33
  beings. And that spirit has a lot of
• 6:35
  potential, a lot of potential in helping us again unlock the
• 6:40
  powers within ourselves. So if you read Alone in the
• 6:43
  Hills, that paragraph with Jesus and the young man, you'll
• 6:48
  understand the premise of the The Spotlight series and I'm
• 6:51
  doing and I hope you'll join me for it.
• 6:54
  You know, I enjoy putting it together and and I really would
• 6:57
  love it if you could come on over to the Foundation and watch
• 7:00
  it. If you go to theurencha.org, I'm
• 7:02
  sure you'll find something about the Spotlight series.
• 7:05
  And I again, it's Saturday the 13th of January.
• 7:08
  If I got that right. What is today?
• 7:10
  Today is the 11th, So yeah, it would be the 13th at noon or
• 7:15
  1:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Eastern, noon Central, and then
• 7:21
  10:00 AM Pacific. And if you're in Brazil, or if
• 7:25
  you're in Jerusalem or somewhere, the Netherlands,
• 7:28
  Canada, you'll have to do whatever you do to come out
• 7:33
  right? And and I think they'll have a
• 7:34
  copy of it too. So, you know.
• 7:36
  Anyway, what else is going on? Oh, I wrote a new article which
• 7:40
  is up on my Urantra radio.net, and it just sort of came out one
• 7:44
  day and I and I just said, you know what?
• 7:46
  Enough is enough. Enough is enough.
• 7:49
  Why is it that we are not using the Arrancha book to help us
• 7:53
  solve all the problems going on in our world today?
• 7:58
  And I want to read through a paper on that and and show you
• 8:01
  what I'm talking about because it seems like the world is not
• 8:05
  getting any less stressful. And in fact, a lot of people are
• 8:08
  very nervous about the world right now.
• 8:12
  The elections are coming up. That creates its own set of
• 8:14
  tensions. We've got these wars, We've got
• 8:17
  wars and rumors of wars. A lot of Christians, a lot of
• 8:20
  people that I know of the Christian faith are really
• 8:23
  convinced that if these, not, if these are not the end times,
• 8:26
  they are certainly epical times. And and I believe that the
• 8:32
  Arrancha book couldn't help solve a lot of our problems.
• 8:36
  And I'm going to get to that. But I got an e-mail this week
• 8:40
  where someone was talking to me about the Arrancha Podcast and
• 8:45
  they said, you know, Jim, I've known you forever.
• 8:47
  And I don't know much about the Arrancha book, but I I listened
• 8:50
  to a couple of your podcast and I just don't understand what the
• 8:53
  Arrancha Book is about. And I went, wow, that's a
• 8:58
  profound statement, right? Here I am, 150 episodes in.
• 9:03
  Well over 100,000 people have listened to these podcasts.
• 9:07
  I get all these nice emails from people, thank you for this,
• 9:10
  Thank you for that. But then I get somebody who I
• 9:12
  know and knows me and and they've taken the time to listen
• 9:17
  and they say, I don't get it, what What is, what is the book?
• 9:20
  What what? What are you trying to tell us?
• 9:23
  So this comes into my thoughts to ponder. e-mail today and I'll
• 9:27
  read it to you because this is in a nutshell, what the Arrancha
• 9:31
  book is all about. The material universe is always
• 9:35
  the arena wherein takes place. All spiritual activities, spirit
• 9:40
  beings and spirit ascenders, live and work on physical
• 9:44
  spheres of material reality. That's from paper 12, Section 8,
• 9:50
  paragraph one. So that's the premise of the
• 9:54
  Uranja book. They say, well, what do you
• 9:57
  mean, what's what do you mean? That's the premise.
• 9:58
  OK, well, what do people really need to know right now?
• 10:03
  What is it that people in the mainstream, in the main, young
• 10:07
  people, nuns, what are they really searching for?
• 10:11
  If we accept the premise of the Urantia Book, which is that
• 10:15
  we're all spiritually endowed by our spirit Creator Father, with
• 10:20
  whom we can have a relationship with, because his actual spirit
• 10:24
  presence is in us, in the citadel of our minds.
• 10:29
  And then we have the spirit of truth, which is the spirit that
• 10:32
  comes from the bestowal Son, Christ Michael.
• 10:36
  And then we have the Holy Spirit, which originates from
• 10:39
  the daughter of the infinite spirit, Michael's wife,
• 10:44
  spiritual partner for eternity. So all of these spirit
• 10:48
  influences are coming into us, but we're not either detecting
• 10:53
  them or we're not tuned to them, or we're not hearing them as
• 10:57
  effectively. Maybe it's because of all the
• 10:59
  noise. Maybe it's because we live in a
• 11:02
  material age, but when you think about the article that I wrote,
• 11:06
  which is that this Erantia book is an epical revelation that
• 11:11
  that's saying something because it compares it to the Calagasia
• 11:15
  arrival and the 100 who later went on to become the Nodites
• 11:20
  from the Bible. And then we have Adam and Eve
• 11:22
  with the epical revelation, these two spiritual beings
• 11:25
  coming to our world to up step us biologically and spiritually.
• 11:31
  And then we have Melchizedek who shows up one day around 2000
• 11:35
  years ago and starts setting up a school and teaching
• 11:39
  monotheism. Monotheism was introduced and it
• 11:41
  carried on. And Abraham was the the great
• 11:44
  ambassador of that that great religion that was bestowed by
• 11:49
  him from a an intelligent spiritual personality that was
• 11:54
  an epical revelation. And then, of course, it was to
• 11:57
  prepare the world for the next epical revelation, which was the
• 12:00
  Bestowal Son, Jesus of Nazareth. And the Urantia Book restates
• 12:06
  all of these epical revelations. And then it is of itself is an
• 12:12
  epical revelation, because it's revealing to us what what is the
• 12:17
  Urantia Book revealing to us what is its epical import?
• 12:22
  That we're not alone, that our universe is not accidental.
• 12:29
  That we are not just drifting through space on a spinning ball
• 12:32
  without purpose, without reason. There's a great comedian.
• 12:37
  I'll have to try to find it. And he's talking about people
• 12:39
  who believe that the universe came from nothing.
• 12:43
  And then when we die, we we all go back to nothing.
• 12:47
  And the guy says so. What you're saying is that the
• 12:50
  universe was created by nothing. And when we die, we go back to
• 12:55
  the Creator, who is nothing. Now he of course is being
• 12:59
  facetious about it, but his point is made.
• 13:01
  How could we possibly discard religion as fables and mystery
• 13:06
  and superstition, but at the same time adopt A philosophy
• 13:10
  that is not only inconsistent with science, which that
• 13:14
  something can come from nothing, but then we also take the
• 13:17
  scientific, materialistic attitude that nothing has
• 13:21
  purpose, that this is all just inconsequential, that which one
• 13:27
  is the greater fable? Which one is harder to believe?
• 13:31
  So the Uranja book is asserting that there's life outside of our
• 13:34
  own solar system. It gives us an origination of
• 13:39
  our solar parents. It talks about the beginnings of
• 13:44
  our creation itself, our local area of creation, and it gives
• 13:52
  us a conceptual space to work with.
• 13:56
  So when you hear this line again, I'll read it from paper
• 13:59
  12, Section 8. The material universe is always
• 14:03
  the arena wherein takes place all spiritual activities, spirit
• 14:08
  beings and spirit ascenders that would be us live and work on
• 14:13
  physical spheres of material reality.
• 14:19
  Now in my article that you can read at urantraradio.net says
• 14:24
  that Jesus introduced the idea of a spiritual Kingdom and so
• 14:29
  he's perforce saying my Kingdom is of another sphere or another
• 14:34
  world or another place, and what he's referring to is the
• 14:39
  universe of his creation, which is the universe that we live in.
• 14:46
  That's a conceptual presentation.
• 14:49
  So the Urantia Book picks up where Christ left off, and I
• 14:53
  explained in the article that the the Revelators thought that
• 14:58
  we had enough people on our world that were advanced enough
• 15:02
  now that we could start to take in this information and we could
• 15:08
  put some context into what life is all about.
• 15:12
  One of the things that I find very interesting about the
• 15:15
  beginning of part three of the book is its explanation of how
• 15:23
  Christ Michael was assigned a region of space that was
• 15:26
  basically void. In fact, do I have time to read
• 15:31
  it? It's quite funny actually, But
• 15:33
  let me let me see if I can find it.
• 15:34
  Stand by. All right, I found it.
• 15:36
  It's from paper 57 and it's it's the beginning of Part 3 which
• 15:39
  talks about the origin of your ranch in the history of our
• 15:42
  world. And it writes 987 billion years
• 15:46
  ago, associate force organizer and then acting inspector number
• 15:51
  811,307 of the Orvinson series traveling out from Uversa, which
• 15:58
  is our central universe, reported to the ancients of days
• 16:01
  that space conditions were favorable for the initiation of
• 16:05
  materialization phenomena in a certain sector of then the early
• 16:09
  easterly segment of Orventon, which is our central universe.
• 16:14
  And then it says 900 million billion years ago, the Universal
• 16:18
  Archives testify, there was recorded a permit issued by the
• 16:24
  University Council of Equilibrium to the Super
• 16:28
  universe government authorizing the dispatch of a force
• 16:32
  organizer and staff to the region previously designated by
• 16:36
  that inspector that we referred to, Inspector #811 three O 7.
• 16:41
  So what they're saying is in the early beginnings of our local
• 16:44
  creation, there was vast space, but there was nothing in it when
• 16:50
  it when the Urantia Book talks about the outer levels of the
• 16:53
  universe that are that that have some form, but they're they lack
• 16:58
  energy even though God's presence is there.
• 17:03
  Nothing has yet started to take place on a materialistic level
• 17:07
  or on a level where evolutionary worlds are starting to appear.
• 17:11
  That's not happening yet. It's kind of like when Lewis and
• 17:16
  Clark started exploring the United States, you know, in its
• 17:18
  early days, and they were going out and finding this vast area
• 17:21
  of space that was completely uninhabited.
• 17:24
  So this comes across my desk from science alerts Bizarre
• 17:28
  Galaxy Discovered with Seemingly no stars whatsoever, published
• 17:32
  January 11th, 2024 by Michelle Starr.
• 17:35
  I get a kick out of out of these people, right?
• 17:38
  Says a newly discovered object is stretching our understanding
• 17:41
  of what constitutes a Galaxy called Jo 613 + 52.
• 17:47
  This massive BLOB of something some 270 million light years
• 17:51
  away appears to have no stars whatsoever.
• 17:56
  At least no one. None that can be seen.
• 17:58
  It's just a haze made of a kind of gas that's found between
• 18:02
  stars in normal galaxies, drifting around by its lone self
• 18:06
  like an absolute badass. So maybe they have an associate
• 18:12
  inspector on its way to issue a permit, and maybe that will
• 18:15
  someday be home to a new local universe such as our own.
• 18:21
  Maybe that's in the workings. So maybe it's not unusual to
• 18:25
  have vast areas of space that are uninhabited.
• 18:29
  And remember, the Urantia Book was written in 19341935, way
• 18:33
  ahead of its time. But it makes my point that The
• 18:36
  Urantia Book teaches us things, and this was the point of my
• 18:39
  article, is that right now I would say that our world needs
• 18:44
  and is hungry for truth. And that truth comes in the form
• 18:48
  of the 5th Epochal Revelation, which asserts that we're not
• 18:52
  alone in the universe and we never have been.
• 18:54
  We are part of a collective, organized system and we are
• 18:59
  ascenders and we will be traveling to those shores and
• 19:03
  that the universe is physical. And that is where all the
• 19:06
  spiritual activity does indeed take place.
• 19:10
  Another thing that I asserted in my article is that if you just
• 19:13
  put aside the spiritual aspects of the Urantia Book and you just
• 19:18
  focus on, say, the histories, like the history of our world,
• 19:21
  it offers us such great information, things that we can
• 19:25
  actually apply to our world now, that would correct many of the
• 19:29
  problems that we have. For example, when it talks about
• 19:32
  education in Paper 71, he says the enduring state is founded on
• 19:37
  culture, dominated by ideals and motivated by service.
• 19:41
  The purpose of education should be acquirement of skill, pursuit
• 19:46
  of wisdom, realization of selfhood and attainment of
• 19:50
  spiritual values. Now can you think of any school
• 19:54
  that offers any of that says education is the business of
• 19:58
  living? It must continue throughout a
• 20:00
  lifetime so that mankind may gradually experience the
• 20:04
  ascending levels of mortal wisdom.
• 20:08
  Which are the knowledge of things, the realization of
• 20:11
  meanings, the appreciation of values, the nobility of work,
• 20:15
  duty, the motivation of goals, morality, the love of service,
• 20:21
  character and cosmic insight, spiritual discernment.
• 20:25
  And then, by means of these achievements, many will ascend
• 20:29
  to the mortal ultimate of mind attainment and God,
• 20:33
  consciousness. Then it goes on to talk about
• 20:36
  the characters of statehood. What makes a good state?
• 20:40
  The evolution of statehood entails progress from level to
• 20:42
  level, as follows. The creation of a three
• 20:45
  threefold government check. The freedom of social,
• 20:50
  political, and religious activities kind of there #3 The
• 20:54
  abolition of all forms of slavery and human bondage.
• 20:58
  We're not there yet. The ability of the citizens rate
• 21:03
  to control the levying of taxes. Now you start to ask yourself
• 21:07
  why would these revelators go to the trouble of telling us about
• 21:10
  the characters of statehood unless they were trying to tell
• 21:13
  us what the characters of statehood are to help in our
• 21:16
  development #5. The establishment of universal
• 21:20
  education learning extended from the cradle to the grape.
• 21:24
  If every country in the world would adopt these, what they are
• 21:28
  10/11/12, how many are there? 12 The worldwide Vogue of
• 21:35
  pursuit of wisdom. 12 ways you can run a great country.
• 21:39
  And that's what I'm talking. But that's what I'm referring
• 21:41
  to, is the fact that we should take this Urantia book that we
• 21:45
  have that has all this wealth of information and apply it to
• 21:50
  solving a lot of our earthly problems at this time.
• 21:54
  And I truly believe, I truly believe that that was the intent
• 21:57
  of the revelation to help man get to the next level, to move
• 22:01
  him farther away from his animalistic, fear based, anxious
• 22:05
  based position. And I think it's an important
• 22:11
  first step for us to 1st recognize that we are not alone
• 22:15
  and we never were. And I think every human being on
• 22:18
  this planet, if they knew that basic truth, they just knew that
• 22:22
  basic truth. Their whole world view would
• 22:26
  change for the better. All right, well, that's going to
• 22:38
  do it. I'll give you a few minutes to
• 22:39
