Isaac faith son of Christ, musician Nuwagaba

I have been reading Paper 47 section 1 and it reminded me that our life on Urantia is only the beginning of a much larger journey. 

I have seen that when Jesus spoke about the "many mansions," He was revealing that the Father's universe is prepared for the continued growth and advancement of his children.

Even i have realised that the mansion worlds show us that after death, sincere souls do not stop living,they continue learning, progressing, and drawing closer to God. 
I have realised that every experience, challenge, and lesson we face here helps prepare us for the next stages of our eternal adventure.
 

Thank you all 

Sidon and the Sweet Discipline of Moving Forward

There are teachings that feel like they were spoken directly into our daily routines into the tiredness, the temptations, and the quiet moments when growth can be delayed. The instruction from Jesus during the sojourn at Sidon carries exactly that kind of spiritual urgency. It reminds us that faith is not meant to be stagnant. It is meant to move.

“The theme of Jesus’ instructions during the sojourn at Sidon was spiritual progression. He told them they could not stand still; they must go forward in righteousness or retrogress into evil and sin.” (156:2.6 (1736.3)

This is not only guidance for “that time and place.” It’s a principle for every journey especially the seasons when nothing looks dramatically wrong, yet something inside you feels slightly farther from God than before.

You Cannot Stand Still Spiritually

We like to think we can “pause” spiritually and still stay safe. But the deeper truth is that the inner life is always moving. If we are not actively progressing, we are drifting. And drift can happen so gently that we mistake it for normal life.

Standing still may not look like open rebellion. Often it looks like spiritual neglect: fewer prayers, less sensitivity to right and wrong, less desire to do what’s right when it costs you something. It can even appear like maturity until we realize the heart has grown comfortable with what should be challenged.

Jesus’ words at Sidon warn us with love: there is no spiritually safe middle ground where the soul stays unchanged.

Go Forward in Righteousness (Even When It’s Small)

“Righteousness” can sound big and distant, but spiritual progression is built from ordinary choices. Going forward in righteousness means choosing what aligns your life with God..again and again.

That can look like:

• choosing honesty instead of excuses,
• forgiving instead of replaying pain,
• praying even when you feel tired,
• doing the right thing when no one applauds you,
• returning to God when you’ve wandered a little.

Progress doesn’t require perfection. It requires direction. One faithful choice today can redirect the heart for tomorrow.

Retrogressing into Sin Often Starts Quietly

“Retrogress” means to go backward. And sin’s trap is that it rarely announces itself as sin at the beginning. It begins with gradual permission.

It may start like:

• “I’ll handle it later.”
• “This won’t matter much.”
• “Everybody does it.”
• “I’m too tired to change right now.”

Before long, what once felt wrong becomes manageable. What once required prayer becomes just talk. What once demanded repentance becomes something we delay until we can’t hear conviction as clearly.

That’s why Jesus’ instruction is so direct. He knows how easily the heart can slip when we stop moving toward what is right.

A Sweet Reflection Question

Today, pause long enough to ask yourself one gentle question:

Which direction is my soul facing ;forward toward God, or backward into comfort and sin?

You don’t need to judge yourself harshly. Just be honest. Awareness is where healing begins.

Godspeed

Making Jesus our first priority

Dear my brothers and sisters! 

I feel that the fastest and most spiritually fruitful doorway is making Jesus our first priority. Without Jesus, we can not find and reach the Father and possibly we can get stuck from the hardest cosmology. We need to walk His ways and His teachings in order to get to God our Father.
My brothers and sisters, we need to encounter the Father's Kingdom within, sonship, brotherhood, forgiveness, faith and living the religion our brother Jesus taught on this urantia. 
Cosmology matters us deeply and helps to understand and light our living and spiritual rooms.
Without Jesus our beloved brother, the universe structure can become information. With Jesus and living His character and His teachings, it becomes meaningful, personal and worshipful .
Jesus is our first thought to get to the Father and we ought making Him our first priority and everything else second!!
Am grateful sharing with you my brothers and sisters

Dear family!!!  
 

The ground reality 100% we Carry truth, we teach brotherhood, we show and prove sonship. I believe there are always resistances to fight and put down truth but let me tell you unity is much stronger.
We are already enough (254 readers)in our study groups... this is enough brothers and sisters to start fire across Uganda, Africa and the rest of the world . It's me, it's you and it's we!!! We require to be committed in unity and guided by the spirit of truth. 
Let us join arms, let every brother and sister be part of our spiritual community (a family), let us bring this urantia revelation true and together .
I believe there are opposing communities still because they don't understand, this is why at times I say we must not go as many voices but as one voice . When people see us love one another,serve one another and standing as a family, they will listen and learn 
Our ministry in Uganda and neighboring communities actually begins with us choosing each other first .
Dear brothers and sisters  we are enough, the Father has provided us all we need through our group chats.
Thank you beloved Family

Dear brothers and sisters  
Are you aware that people are tired of religion about God and Jesus Christ our brother. People outside are hungry for a relationship with God. Today I managed to hold an urantia study outreach in the home of late Mungenzi and our brother David from ibanda municipality bisheshe division. I shared my personal life story , where I was afraid and felt lonely. Then after learned that the father lives inside me as my thoughts Adjuster from the urantia book. I shared with them that now I talk to him like a child talks to the Father. And our brothers and sisters were filled with joy.
Brothers and sisters, I believe when we share openly about our personal walk with the father then our fears, our prayers, our peace breaks walls 

People will believe us because we are living the revelation not just reading the UB revelation.
I encourage you dear family that in our outreaches, we inform our brothers and sisters out there how the Father speaks to them in the quiet, let's tell them how he comforted your life when you were in hardship , tell them about love , your  story is the primary key that opens their heart .
Much love brothers

From Journal - June 2026, By Jorge Wilczyk (Jorge Urantiano) Argentina on June 1, 2026
Let’s start with a spoiler.
The answer is yes. He knew about it and studied it.
Confirmed.
But to explain how I learned this, I need to tell you a story.
 

For several years, I was on hemodialysis due to chronic kidney failure. Dialysis sessions can be tedious: four to five hours at a time, three times a week. Like everything in life, it had a positive side. Sitting comfortably in a recliner for that long gave me an excellent opportunity to read and study my favorite book (you know which one I mean).
The dialysis unit was a long corridor, about fifteen meters (roughly fifty feet) in length, with six recliners facing each other on each side. It looked something like a hospital ward, except that instead of beds there were recliners, with dialysis machines positioned between them. At times, this arrangement encouraged conversation and interaction among patients, much like the different friendships and affinities that naturally develop in a school classroom.
 

In 2012, a new patient arrived: Jorge Castelli, Archpriest of the Antiochian Orthodox Church, which according to tradition was founded in the first century by Peter and Paul in what is now Antakya, Turkey, and later separated from Roman Catholicism during the Great Schism of 1054.
 

Like every new patient who arrived at the clinic, he was introduced by name, and from his clothing we could tell that he was a member of the clergy.
 

From where I was sitting, Jorge was positioned diagonally across from me. From his recliner, he could clearly see a thick blue hardcover book resting on the armrest of my dialysis recliner. As he later told me, he initially assumed it was a Bible.
I knew it wouldn’t take long before his curiosity and my blue book eventually led to a conversation. Like a patient fisherman, I waited for the question to come.
 

It arrived at the end of his first week there (he would remain on dialysis for only three years).
From where he sat, he could see both the front and back covers of my book, which I admit I had intentionally positioned so they would be easy to notice. He could clearly read the gold lettering at the top and see the three concentric circles below.
“That’s not a Bible,” he said, looking at me as though he were answering his own question out loud.
“Not exactly,” I replied immediately. “Although you could say it’s an update.”
 

Jorge tilted his head to one side, pursed his lower lip, and quietly said:
“Well, look at that…”
He said nothing more.
Neither did I.
I went back to reading.
 

(I have no doubt that our Thought Adjusters had already started a WhatsApp chat.)
Jorge Castelli in his office in Buenos Aires
In his seventies, Jorge Castelli was a serious man with an almost military voice, yet he knew how to let his sense of humor show without ever breaking character.
 

He was a trained theologian with scientific knowledge. A true all-rounder, something of a blend between a Jesuit and a Salesian.
He came from a traditional and affluent Argentine family whose history reached back to Argentina’s first national government in 1810. Yet from a very young age he devoted himself completely to living for, among, and on behalf of those most in need.
In his community of San Fernando, Buenos Aires, he opened streets in poor neighborhoods, built and taught others how to build; he baked bread and taught others how to bake it. Classroom by classroom, he helped create a school that grew into what it is today: an educational institution serving about 850 students of different ages and levels.
He was a man of faith who truly lived his faith.
 

He sought to do God’s will in every sense of the expression.
Although I do not remember exactly how it came about, at some point a comment led us into a conversation about the origin of life.
He told me that what the Bible describes should not always be understood literally.
That gave me the opening I needed.
“Right, like Adam and Eve, the serpent, and the apple… As a matter of fact, The Urantia Book contains entire papers devoted to Adam and Eve.”
 

At that moment Jorge revealed something important about himself: he was a man of strong convictions but also an open mind. He did not react defensively.
Instead, he said:
“That’s very interesting. I’d like to read it.”
And almost immediately followed with:
“What is Urantia?”
 

I gave him what I jokingly referred to as the standard “Wikipedia summary” that tends to come naturally to many of us, always trying not to make anyone uncomfortable or create unnecessary confrontation. Then I concluded with something that I knew would appeal to him:
“I think it would be better if I lend you the book for a couple of days. You’ll probably find the first pages especially interesting because you have a theological background. Take a look, and then we’ll talk.”
He spent the entire weekend with the copy I gave him.
 

When I arrived at the dialysis unit on Monday, he was already sitting in his recliner.
Before he even greeted me, eager to share his reaction, he said:
“That book is the most wonderful thing I have ever read in my life!”
He accompanied his words with such an dramatic gesture of his hands that the patients at the far end of the room thought he was scolding me.
 

From that moment on, every dialysis session became an ongoing exchange between the two of us. Since we both had strong voices, we often ended up, unintentionally, turning the people closest to us into listeners to our conversations. The patients’ running joke was: “So, what’s today’s conference about?”
 

I eventually gave Jorge a copy of The Urantia Book—if I remember correctly, one of the last hardcover copies that Carlos Rubinsky still had available. Another patient, whose health was quite fragile, became interested after overhearing our conversations, especially the teachings about the morontia worlds and what comes afterward. The certainty and precision of those ideas brought him comfort. He remained a reader during the final days of his life. My conversations with Jorge continued naturally.
 

We learned a great deal from one another (I learned more from him). We became friends.
I came to know details of his life that truly deserve to be told. The inspiration he found in The Urantia Book reinforced ideas that had long been present in his mind, ideas that conventional theology had never fully satisfied. He eventually began a secondary activity alongside his traditional religious work: he used concepts from the Fifth Revelation in training seminars for seminarians, without revealing the source.
And this brings us to the part about Pope Francis.
 

Jorge had formed a group with other religious figures with whom he regularly exchanged letters, documents, reflections, and ideas. Some were from Argentina, while others participated by correspondence from various Latin American countries, including Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.
 

I don’t remember their names, but I do remember that at least one of them held a prominent position within the Catholic Church in his country.
One of the prominent figures in Argentina who belonged to what I might describe as Jorge’s “study group” was a high-ranking clergyman within the Argentine Catholic Church. I won’t mention his name because he is still active today.
When I heard his name, I immediately associated him with his well-known closeness to Jorge Bergoglio. The question was inevitable:
“Does Francis know about The Urantia Book?”
 

“He knows it and studies it. I know this from ‘……'” (and he mentioned the other person’s name).
“And there are others, too, but very few have the guts to say so openly, because it would be impossible for the Curia to handle.”
(Actually, he didn’t say “guts.” He used a more vulgar expression, one that suited him much better.)
Jorge Castelli died in 2015 following a domestic accident.
 

That same year, Pope Francis told educators around the world:
“Educating in truth, goodness and beauty leads to a full life.”1
Now you need no longer doubt the origin of that phrase.
 

From that entire experience, I learned that revelation does not seek to impose itself, but to be shared.
The book is only a means. What matters is what it awakens in those who encounter it, and knowing how to offer each person something from our beloved text that may be useful to them.
 

Jorge Castelli did not need to change religions in order to see more clearly. He was a man of genuine faith.
His Inner Spark confirmed truths that he had already sensed. He recognized truth when he encountered it, and he was moved by it.
That is life.
 

Sometimes you think you are simply going to a dialysis session… and you end up keeping an appointment with the Father’s will.
What for some might have seemed routine or suffering became a setting for service, friendship, and sharing light.
I learned a great deal from those experiences and from many other situations I lived through there over the course of nine years.
For that, I thank our Great Father.
 

I learned that there is no moment, no place, and no circumstance in which the spirit cannot work through us.
I learned that we should not speak about the book, but from its teachings.
That truth, when it is genuine, does not need labels.
 

And that we are not here to convince anyone, but to live in such a way that others may wish to find the source, drink from it, and then begin carrying living water to those who do not yet know they are thirsty.

A Melchizedek of Nebadon teaches us

“There must be perfection hunger in man’s heart to insure capacity for comprehending the faith paths to supreme attainment.” (Paper 102, page 1118:4)

This is an essential precondition to become an Urantia Book leader-teacher or study group host. These teachers and hosts should know as much as possible the Urantia Book teachings and train spiritually themselves as taught by Jesus and the revelators, as a condition to disseminate successfully the teachings and attain the acceptance of the revelation in our world.

The Master outlined the principles that should guide and impel those who teach the divine truth. An instructor of the revelation must be trained through the spiritualization of the soul, the enlightenment of the mind, the acquirement of wisdom and spiritual discernment. It is not enough to study the revelation to attain these goals; it is necessary the spiritual preparation as the ideal support for the revelation knowledge. The regular preparation in the intimate and spiritual worshipful communion with God, with all our heart, gradually brings us spiritual insight and everything we need to serve God and his revelation. The service to the humanity will be enhanced by the ennobling association of the human mind and the indwelling spirit, the Thought Adjuster. (Paper 178, page 1931:4) This is the religion of the spirit, in which the man communes with God, receiving both the water and bread of the divine life.

The Book must be brought to the truth-seekers through the example of appropriately qualified persons who show in their lives the spiritual fruits described in the revelation, so when the truth-seekers hear them, they trust and believe them, consequently dedicating themselves to the study and practice of the spiritual teachings designed to attain the soul development and survival.

Jesus endeavored to make clear that he desired his disciples, having tasted of the good spirit realities of the kingdom, so to live in the world that men, by seeing their lives, would become kingdom conscious and hence be led to inquire of believers concerning the ways of the kingdom. All such sincere seekers for the truth are always glad to hear the glad tidings of the faith gift which insures admission to the kingdom with its eternal and divine spirit realities. (Paper 141, page 1593:4)

Jesus teaches us that the hunger and thirst for rectitude of the souls who discern the truth drives them to do the Father’s will, to find God and to become like him. Regular and sincere communion with God will produce human beings adequately qualified, trained and coordinated with God the Father. Those who aspire to take their fellows by the hand, to teach them the truths of the spirit, must be guide by their own indwelling Spirit. They must seek to experience the divinity within themselves and be inspired by their Thought Adjusters, gradually incorporating the teachings of Jesus and the revelators, so this Spirit can manifest himself through their human personality, yielding the fruits of the spirit in their lives.

The service to the people who search God must be the result of the sublime and superior transformation that occurs in the hearts of the spirit-born men, with the help of the Spirit of Truth and the living faith, through the communion with God. To the successful of this truth-seeking ministry to humankind, this service must be anchored on God and must be carried out in his name and for the welfare and happiness of His creatures. The potential instructors who want engage themselves in the spread of the divine truth should be filled with “loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace.” (2054.3) 193:2.2 They must be sincere, always humble; their spirit fruits and their example must inspire and motivate those who seek the divine truth.

Let us consider this teaching:  The pursuit of mere knowledge, without the attendant interpretation of wisdom and the spiritual insight of religious experience, eventually leads to pessimism and human despair. (Paper 195, page 2076:8) The potential instructor of the truth should live the religion of Jesus in his daily life, because it demands living and spiritual experience, not mere traditional beliefs, emotional feelings or philosophic concepts, the true religion of the spirit requires that men attain actual levels of real spirit progression. (Paper 160, page 1782:3)

It is valid to say that “the religion of Jesus” and “doing the will of God” is the same thing. The worship of God and the service of man is the sum and substance of the religion of Jesus. We are taught that the highest levels of self-realization are attained by worship and service, that true religion is the act of an individual soul in its self-conscious relations with the Creator. Jesus exhorted his followers to exercise experiential faith and admonished them not to depend on mere intellectual assent and credulity.

Our world discovers in the Master’ life a new and higher type of religion, a religion based on personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the supreme authority of genuine personal experience. (Paper 196, page 2087:4)

Jesus said that The will of God is the way of  God, partnership with the choice of God in the face of any potential alternative. To do the will of God, therefore, is the progressive experience of becoming more and more like God. (Paper 130, page 1431:2) And the revelators tell us that to do the will of God is man’s willingness to share his inner life with God, the indwelling Adjuster. Meditation makes the contact of mind with spirit; relaxation determines the capacity for spiritual receptivity. (Paper 160, page 1772:2) He who is full of faith worships truly when his inner self is intent upon God. (Paper 131, page 1448:4)

Jesus founded the religion of personal experience in doing the will of God and serving the human brotherhood. Worship, taught Jesus, makes one increasingly like the being who is worshiped. Worship is a transforming experience whereby the finite gradually approaches and ultimately attains the presence of God, the Infinite. Paper 146, page 1641:1) Conclusion: if we worship God, we will become like him through the divine qualities that arise in our soul.

Jesus said: “By daily living the will of the Father in heaven, we can reveal him to our fellow men” We cannot do spiritual work in the absence of spiritual power. And you can do neither of these, even when their potential is present, without the existence of that third and essential human factor, the personal experience of the possession of living faith. (Paper 158, page 1758:5)

Jesus teaches us that if the blind lead the blind, they both shall fall into the pit; that if you would guide others into kingdom of the Father, the guide himself must walk in the clear light of living truth. This implies knowing and living the divine truth, associating ourselves with the indwelling Adjuster. Jesus taught us that we should let our light so shine that our fellows will be guided into new and godly paths of enhanced life. Our light should not shine to draw attention to self. Jesus tells us that we can use our vocation as an effective “reflector” for the dissemination of this light of life.

We are told that religion does need new leaders, spiritual men and women who will dare to depend solely on Jesus and his incomparable teachings, that these new instructors will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of man. We can do this applying wholeheartedly the teachings of Jesus in ourselves, finding God, being born from the spirit and being led by the inner Spirit, through our own effort, in union with God. These instructors are forged walking the spiritual path shown by Jesus of Nazareth.

Those who feel the call in their heart trust in the Lord, and he will do the work with them.

Dear brothers and sisters of the urantia revelation. Peace and love. Am filled with joy upon our success of the urantia study gathering in kitagwenda district .

Many brothers and sisters turned up to learn and study the revelation.

The impact is real dear brothers and sisters, fear of death turned to hope, confusion of God turned to trust. It was a great sharing and many presented with hunger to continue and learn the truth of the Revelation.

They recognize that God is not far, He lives inside each of us as the Thought adjuster, a loving father closer than even our breath .

Thank you sister Monica kemp and Brother Paul Kemp for helping us understand who we are in the family of the father.

Kitagwenda is hungry and so many locations,  I believe we have just started. Thank you brother stones and brother Kizza for being available to serve our communities with humility, love and commitment  
Peace and Love 

^194:3.17 Pentecost was the call to spiritual unity among gospel believers. When the spirit descended on the disciples at Jerusalem, the same thing happened in Philadelphia, Alexandria, and at all other places where true believers dwelt. It was literally true that "there was but one heart and soul among the multitude of the believers." The religion of Jesus is the most powerful unifying influence the world has ever known.

Dear brothers and sisters 

We are strong when together and united than when you are alone. When you stand alone, you feel weak and lonely. But when we stand together,we feel the spirit. I believe this is real brotherhood of man Jesus our brother taught. We are not many groups,we are one family of one father. When we are united, we win even if they wage wars and call us different negative names. Remember when they call us whatever, let's get them with unity.when they close doors unity opens windows. When one of us is tired , the others carry him. That's how the kingdom grows.
 

Let's not reach our community with argument but with service. Let's continue to share with our communities the truth that God is their father and they are his children. 

I believe the revelation will succeed but if we are united and devoted as one family of the father .

Let's tell our brothers and sisters out there that we are a family. We are sons and daughters learning to live like Jesus Christ lived. This is enough for the father to work through us 
Happy meeting and sharing with you my brothers, Isaac faith son , Arnold and Josephat 
Peace and love .
