DESCRIPTION OF SITE

Basically this site consists of four things:

  • The New Revelation of Jesus: The next stage of development in the Judeo.Christian/Urantian religion prophetically forecast in The URANTIA Book. [see below]

  • Revelatory Chronology: The historical, Biblical, and The URANTIA Book background and foundation of this New Revelation of Jesus, indicating the time of its beginning, as forecast by the heretofor unknown and unsuspected millennial cycles of the Judeo/Christian/Urantian religion. [see below]

  • “Jesus-Style” Meditation: Part of the means of achieving the individual, personal/spiritual growth necessary to become an adventurer in and of this New Revelation of Jesus. [see below]

  • Conspiracy Hypothesis: The likelihood of a conspiracy from outside of the Urantia movement, utilizing “artificial telepathy” (technological intra-cerebral “voice” communication), whose intent seems to been to have first divided the Urantia movement and then to render it both impotent and ridiculous as a medium for genuine spiritual growth by the partial substitution of channelling for individually and personally aprehending The URANTIA Book’s truths by way of direct study. [see below]

^ Back ^ 1. The New Revelation of Jesus

The URANTIA Book teaches that the world needs “Jesus” (2084 A, 195:10:1
*), religion needs “Jesus” (195:9:4), and that the service goal of The Urantia Book is to hopefully initiate a “living Jesus” (2090 B, 196:1:2) movement on our planet which is to take place within Christianity and the other religions if possible, but which is to take place outside of them if necessary.

The URANTIA Book teaches of the coming of new teachers and leaders of the religion of Jesus, who are to provide the leadership and inspiration to bring about vast changes (growth) in current cultural realities around the world (2082 D, 195:9:4 and 2090 B, 196:1:2). These are people no different than you and I.

The URANTIA Book teaches us the way to become one of these new teachers and leaders who will be able to “effectively reveal the Master to all men” by their lives and teachings (whole “experience”). There are three qualifications which can only be attained by personal decisions made wholeheartedly before our Father in heaven. The candidate must:

  1. Be born of the spirit

  2. Dare to depend solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings

  3. Be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men

These qualifications are to be found together in 195:9:4 (2082 D), and we are told in the next paragraph, by implication, that the hour is already striking for the advent of these new teachers and leaders to appear.

These qualifications represent a simplification of purpose and a narrowed focus on the ultimate mortal social goal for our own era. They will bring the candidate into a special relationship with Jesus comparable to that enjoyed by the first century apostles. They can be attained ONLY by way of prayer and growth, and this growth is almost guarenteed to bring on mental conflicts as the candidate learns to rely to a greater degree on faith … the faith that Jesus and his incomparable teachings is all that the candidate needs, upon which he or she can exclusively depend.

Join me in taking the dare to make The URANTIA Book’s goal into a living reality. Make these three decisions, and make them again and again with a whole heart until they become permanent. It will take time, perhaps until 2021 A.D., to attain the necessary growth to acceptably manifest Jesus to the world in our life activities.

It is completely up to each candidate to determine for himself or herself, in conjunction with Jesus and one’s indwelling, divine spirit, exactly what is to be the “interpretation” of the three qualifications into everyday living. These meanings will be revealed through growth and personal enlightenment by the spirit component in each of us.

A sublime experience awaits the successful candidate:

“The call to the adventure of building a new and transformed human society by means of the spiritual rebirth of Jesus’ brotherhood of the kingdom should thrill all who believe in him as men have not been stirred since the days when they walked about on earth as his companions in the flesh.” (195:10:6)

^ Back ^ 2. REVELATORY CHRONOLOGY: Historical, Biblical, and The URANTIA Book Background and Foundation of the New Revelation of Jesus

A reinterpretation of William Miller’s work over a century and a half ago on the chronological prophecies in the Book of Daniel (Bible) shows the existence of a series of heretofor unknown and unsuspected millennial cycles of religious evolution. These are initiated by bi-millennial epochal revelations which encompass and define not only the past and present Judeo/Christian eras, but a projected Jesusonian dispensation as well. The transition periods of each of these millennial cycles -- the fourth of which we have currently entered -- are typified by the fulfillment of Biblical “end time” prophecies in the recurring staging of a real-life drama which places a pair of evil doers (a “Beast” who is a “state” leader; and a “False Prophet” who is an influential religionist, representing “church”) in direct conflict with two heroes who work towards reestablishing and reinvigorating truth, which has become fixed, stagnant, and soul-capturing, or otherwise threatened.

The first of these heroes were the original Elijah and Elisha, who were opposed by King Ahab and Jezebel. She was both the Queen of Israel and a priestess of Baal who incited her powerful husband’s greed. The Bible and The URANTIA Book each identify, John the Baptist and Jesus as the second Elijah/Elisha-figures. Jesus, of course, was also much, much more. A signature act typical of Elisha-figures is that they directly or indirectly bring about a cleansing of the temple or sanctuary. John and Jesus came upon the world stage during the time of the end of the millennium begun by Elijah and Elisha. The third set of “Elijahs” and “Elishas” were, a millennium after John and Jesus, to be found as Peter Abelard and Arnold of Brescia who first awoke a hibernating Christianity from its sleep by insisting that individual thought could throw new light on moribund traditional doctrines, and who condemned the church for immoral excesses not much different than those similarly condemned by Jesus and Elisha, respectively one and two millennia earlier. Abelard and Arnold were themselves both condemned by the church, but their influence outlived them and reappeared in the Protestant Reformation and the 17th-18th century Enlightenment -- the so-called, “Age of Reason” -- which itself segued into 19th century atheistic science and secularism (see 2081 A) .

The URANTIA Book predicts the appearance of at least half of a fourth pair (it is silent on the other half, the Elisha-figure). But of the future Elijah-figure, it says this:

“Sooner or later another greater John the Baptist is due to arise proclaiming ‘the kingdom of God is at hand’ -- meaning a return to the high spiritual concept of Jesus.” (1866 A, 170:5:19)
And the chronological prophecies in Daniel affirm that at the end of the present millennium** the “sanctuary” will be cleansed … again … for yet a fourth time! These cycles provide us with what is perhaps a precise time frame for the present and future embodiment of the New Revelation of Jesus and the Jesusonian era which is to follow.

^ Back ^ 3. Meditative Means of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is the most necessary factor in transforming us from where we find ourselves now, into people within whom the Spirit of Truth has become so powerful that when the world sees us it sees Jesus in us! Prayer, worship, and “meditation” are the means of such growth, but the true meaning of this last word has become corrupted by the centuries-old practices recently imported into the Western world from the East. Unlike Eastern religion’s stilled-mind (alpha-wave producing) types of so-called “meditation”, which has almost entirely co-opted the entire definition of the word, “Jesus-style meditation”, as it is presented in The URANTIA Book and as “meditation” is defined in older dictionaries, relies on active thought -- dynamic intellectual achievement. A stilled, narrowly focused mind presents very real dangers which are entirely avoided by an active, truth-seeking intellect engaged in a sincere attempt at divine communion. The URANTIA Book encourages such communion and explains to us where it is to be found within our minds, and it likewise warns us of pitfalls to avoid:

  • “The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within the human mind. Man’s greatest adventure in the flesh consists in the well-balanced and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim, embryonic soul-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of spirit-consciousness -- contact with the divine presence.” (2097 A, 196:3:31)

  • “If one is disposed to recognize a theoretical subconscious mind as a practical working hypothesis in the otherwise unified intellectual life, then, to be consistent, one should postulate a similar and corresponding realm of ascending intellectual activity as the superconscious level, the zone of immediate contact with the indwelling spirit entity.” (1099 C)

  • “Under no circumstances should the trancelike state of visionary consciousness be cultivated as a religious experience.

    “The characteristics of the mystical state are diffusion of consciousness with vivid islands of focal attention operating on a comparatively passive intellect. All of this gravitates consciousness toward the subconscious rather than in the direction of the zone of spiritual contact, the superconscious.

    “The more healthful attitude of spiritual meditation is to be found in reflective worship and in the prayer of thanksgiving.” (1099 D, 100:5:8 to 1100 A, 100:5:10)

^ Back ^ 4. The Conspiracy Hypothesis*

*Hypothesis: Something that is taken to be true for purposes of argument or investigation.

It appears that after some initial interest in the late 1950s by the CIA’s mind-control program, MKULTRA, that the National Security Agency (NSA) or someone operating in its behalf infiltrated the primary official URANTIA® organizations. They used “artificial telepathy” to make a beloved leader believe he was in contact with supernal beings and brought about his fall from grace. Another leader (now near-universally acknowledged within the movement to be the causative factor in the split-up, and since forcibly removed from his position of leadership) used this event, possibly at the instigation of “artificial telepathy”, as a pretext to seize control of a primary organization and instigate policies which had a disastrous effect upon the movement, splitting it into two warring camps, as it were.

Meanwhile a channeling cult was being prepared to infect legitimate URANTIA Book study groups and turn them at least in part from direct study to the passive absorption of lessons on Urantia Book topics transmitted by “artificial telepathy” through channelers. This cult -- preying on The URANTIA Book study groups, converting some members and driving away others -- found its strongest support in a retired Marine Corps General who had become an official of one of the primary organizations, the one with the most influence on the study groups. This General had operational ties to the CIA.

The motives of the NSA appear to stem from legitimate, if wrongheaded, national security concerns, however its operation in the Urantia movement is in violation of the U.S. Constitution and of human rights in general. It is an unwarrented imposition of government into religion, and an ultimate invasion of the privacy of targeted individuals. It should be both uncovered and stopped, not necessarily in that order. Scientific testing is available and is needed to differentiate the true from the false wherever such phenomena manifest. Those who knowingly participate in this scam and further its unconstitutional aims -- regardless of motives and/or “orders” -- are criminals who should be brought to justice.
