Re: Recent Call for Transparency

This response to a Urantia community brother covers most of the comments I have received across the Urantia facebook groups regarding my last post, “A Call for Transparency: the Urantia Foundation.
Godspeed, everyone,
Bob

Thank you, David, for the reasonable response. The rancor from a small but vocal portion of the Urantia community can rival that of the Christians and atheists that come at me. Stealers Wheel added another spoke…

Yes, for most of the last forty years I have followed the directive from “someone” to give the book without preamble and let it stand on its own. The problems with that idea from a cognitive science view are numerous, not to mention the limits that process places on who has access to the material and the elitist aura it gives the community. Furthermore, it is a static approach rather than one that gives precedence to the needs or “truth” of the present moment, which is where all power resides. In other words, it is another attempt at control by saying “this is how it is now and forever more.”

As far as the needs of the present moment are concerned, I suggest everyone start connecting the dots between the Urantia Book and all that has been revealed over the last five years and is currently happening in the world today. To think that a work like the Urantia Book was brought forth at the time it was with the personalities involved without somehow being influenced by those in power then and now is naïve. It is imperative that humanity has the transparency it needs to filter through the false narratives that we are learning have been imprinted on society for other’s benefit so we can determine the truth for ourselves, and our current present day need for the truth takes precedence over any dictates from almost a hundred years ago.

At this moment the Urantia community may be more of a problem than a help to humanity finding the truth. Too many in the community are appeasing their mental addiction to the fantastic in parts 1-3 at the expense of engaging the down and dirty hard work of becoming a better human being as we are directed to do in part 4. I am urging the community to do what they are told to do in the revelation to secure both their eternal life and in the process help our world find better days, and that is to know the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in part 4. That knowledge not only takes precedence over the information in parts 1-3, but it also cannot be known just by reading through the material one time. It has to be continually studied and integrated into our daily lives, and in the process we progressively uncover more and deeper knowledge that we can then use in our service to humanity. The essence of the universe is love, and it is only by moving through the traps of the fear-based mental stage of development and into higher levels of spiritual progression that we can enact that love in service to others. The idea of validating the truth through our hearts relates to that experience of daily being mentored by the presence of God inside us, not determining if this fact or that in parts 1-3 is true.

This community can be a huge asset to the world if it would only take to heart and then enact what we are asked to do: to find new and appealing ways to introduce this generation of people to the gospel of Jesus—the fatherhood of God, the siblinghood of humanity, and our duty to serve others for the sake of God our mutual father. It comes down to either taking the easy and superficially pleasing way of stroking our egos with supposed facts, or embarking on the hard but eminently more satisfying path of personal growth and service to humanity as a Son of God. This is the work to which I have dedicated my life, and the community’s support by subscribing to the Son of Man: Urantia Project is needed and requested.

Godspeed, everyone.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the absence. We had to move house down here in Ecuador, and it's been chaos, but calming down. Smaller place but animals are happy and rent's lower, so all's well. Will be back to recording the chapters soon. Godspeed, Bob.
