“Your planet is a member of an enormous cosmos; you belong to a well-nigh infinite family of worlds, but your sphere is just as precisely administered and just as lovingly fostered as if it were the only inhabited world in all existence.” -The Urantia Book
Have you ever wondered about this strange and mysterious Urantia Book? In this lecture presentation Michael takes you on a cosmic journey offering an overview of the basic themes and structure of The Urantia book.
The Urantia Book was written “to expand cosmic consciousness and enhance spiritual perception” of the peoples of Urantia, our planet. The heart of its teachings are about God, the universe, and our relationship to both. It reveals our origin, our purpose, and our divine and eternal destiny, “the age-long process from animal to angel, from angel to spirit, from spirit to God.”
Authored by celestial beings, The Urantia Book is vast in scope, 2097 pages, wherein it reveals Urantia as the cosmic name for our planet and presents itself as the 5th Epochal revelation of truth to our world.
From beginning to end, you will discover a multitude of ideas that are new, often startling, but always reassuring. You will discover concepts that transcend our human viewpoint, point you towards your true spiritual nature, and settle you forever in a secure and loving relationship with God.
In exquisite and rich language it covers the whole cosmos across time and space. It offers an intricate and sweeping narrative that blends science, philosophy, history, cosmology and religion seamlessly into a unified cosmic framework. It details the start of life on earth and portrays life as a purposeful journey where each soul is invited to evolve toward divine perfection and participate in the eternal adventure of the cosmos, and a lot of other things in between.
You will never look at the universe in the same way again once you’ve read The Urantia Book’s depiction of the cosmos and Urantia’s place within it.
“If you are a willing learner, if you want to attain spirit levels and reach divine heights, if you sincerely desire to reach the eternal goal, then the divine Spirit will gently and lovingly lead you along the pathway of sonship and spiritual progress” -The Urantia Book
Join us for a closer look at what The Urantia Book represents. Buckle up for the ride of your life, into a land of intellectual discovery and spiritual wonder. The Urantia Book has the power to transform your life.
