In popular religion today, personal religious experience is often understood as the cultivation of particular states of consciousness and the construction of an idealized self. 

How does this relate to the Urantia Book’s vision of a quest for cosmic citizenship in a personal universe?

This 15 minute video covers the basics of personal religion, cosmic citizenship, the nature of the soul, and how we prepare for eternal life.

INTRODUCTORY FILM PROGRESS UPDATE: TITLE CHANGED;
SIMULTANEOUS ENGLISH/SPANISH RELEASE PLANNED

"Who Say You That I Am?" is now the official title for the feature length introduction to The Urantia Book based on the repercussions of Michael's bestowal. The challenge is to produce an introductory film that transforms a great deal of historical and technical information into a compelling and engaging narrative. The solution chosen is to construct the film around the spiritual experience of a number of individuals whose lives have been impacted by the bestowal and who, in turn, have influenced the continuing unfolding of those repercussions.  read more

A feature-length documentary on the repercussions of Michael's bestowal and how they evolved into the conceptual foundations for The Urantia Book: This film explores the history of Christian thought and practice as well as the teachings of Jesus and the ministry of his Spirit of Truth poured out at Pentecost as illuminated by the Fifth Epochal Revelation.

It outlines the theological struggles of the past 2,000 years and highlights their resolution and integration in The Urantia Book's systematic theology, creating a platform for continued development of the repercussions of Michael's bestowal in the new millennium.

Words of encouragement from a person who very long ago, lived as a mortal being - just like we are today.

Slavery In America - Counting The Cost - Justice will require Reparations and the outpouring of Mercy

  2:3.2 How futile to make puerile appeals to such a God to modify his changeless decrees so that we can avoid the just consequences of the operation of his wise natural laws and righteous spiritual mandates! "Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." True, even in the justice of reaping the harvest of wrongdoing, this divine justice is always tempered with mercy. Infinite wisdom is the eternal arbiter which determines the proportions of justice and mercy which shall be meted out in any given circumstance. The greatest punishment (in reality an inevitable consequence) for wrongdoing and deliberate rebellion against the government of God is loss of existence as an individual subject of that government. The final result of wholehearted sin is annihilation. In the last analysis, such sin-identified individuals have destroyed themselves by becoming wholly unreal through their embrace of iniquity. The factual disappearance of such a creature is, however, always delayed until the ordained order of justice current in that universe has been fully complied with.
