Be Still!
Please, how can one really succeed in having a wonderful "personal relationship" with God? The key lies in discovering and working with the Father presence within you - "the still small voice"! You have to learn to get into the place of stillness to develop that remarkable ability to hear from God; to interact with God; to commune with your Heavenly Father. "Be still and know that I am God."
It is in this place of stillness that you will be able to know God; to have life transforming experiences or encounters with God. It is in this place of stillness that you find your true self, your life's purpose and eternal destiny!
You cannot really have an outstanding, glorious relationship with "the Christ" (Jesus Christ), the Holy Spirit, angels, Melchizedeks and a host of other personalities in the Father's kingdom not until you first and foremost develop a successful working relationship with "the still small voice" - the Father's spirit that dwells within your mind, in your "Holy of Holies". This is true because God the Father is the "First Source and Center".
One has to be grounded in the First and Original Source and Center of all things and then all other relationships will begin to fall in place and will begin to make sense way beyond one's wildest dreams and imaginations. This is how we have been designed. This is how the interplay between your "body, soul and spirit" thrives - really thrives to the glory of the Father and the benefit of all of creation! Enjoy!

Here is my technic:
Above all, we must not hesitate to read and reread The Urantia Book alone or in a group. Personally, I think the best method I've experienced is to meditate on it with the help of my Adjuster.
Let me explain: before beginning to read a section, I always pray for a few minutes in silence to invite all the Celestials possible to inspire me. In this way, I give myself every opportunity to let my Adjuster guide me in this reflection. I also make sure to be in a quiet and comfortable place. Nature is particularly conducive. It helps calm my mind. This is the meaning of this quotation:
"160:3.1 … How can we induce men to give free rein to God to flow forth from us, refreshing our souls as they go, and then help to enlighten, uplift, and bless countless other souls? What is the best way for me to awaken the latent powers for good that lie dormant in your souls? Of one thing I am certain, emotional excitement is not the ideal spiritual stimulant; it does not increase energy; rather, it depletes the powers of mind and body. Whence, then, does the energy come to accomplish these great things? Observe your Master. At this very hour, he is in the hills, gathering power while we here expend energy. The secret of the whole problem lies in spiritual communion, in worship. From the human standpoint, it is a matter of combining meditation and Relaxation. Meditation establishes contact between the mind and the spirit; relaxation determines the capacity for spiritual receptivity. This substitution of strength for weakness, courage for fear, the will of God for the mind of the self, constitutes worship.In other words, I always precede reading with a short period of worship. This allows me to increase my receptivity to hearing the voice of my Adjuster, who will undoubtedly guide me in this adventure of discovery
This is a call to acknowledge God's sovereignty, power, and role as the ultimate authority in the world.
Godspeed.
