The Paradise ascent is the supreme adventure of all time, the rugged achievement of eternity. The service of the kingdom on earth will call for all the courageous manhood that you and your coworkers can muster. Many of you will be put to death for your loyalty to the gospel of this kingdom. It is easy to die in the line of physical battle when your courage is strengthened by the presence of your fighting comrades, but it requires a higher and more profound form of human courage and devotion calmly and all alone to lay down your life for the love of a truth enshrined in your mortal heart.</p><p style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">&nbsp; <sup>143:1.7</sup> &quot;Today, the unbelievers may taunt you with preaching a gospel of nonresistance and with living lives of nonviolence, but you are the first volunteers of a long line of sincere believers in the gospel of this kingdom who will astonish all mankind by their heroic devotion to these teachings. No armies of the world have ever displayed more courage and bravery than will be portrayed by you and your loyal successors who shall go forth to all the world proclaiming the good news -- the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. The courage of the flesh is the lowest form of bravery. Mind bravery is a higher type of human courage, but the highest and supreme is uncompromising loyalty to the enlightened convictions of profound spiritual realities. And such courage constitutes the heroism of the God-knowing man. And you are all God-knowing men; you are in very truth the personal associates of the Son of Man.&quot;</p></blockquote><p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p>]]></description>

Who else would be able to share what happens in the next life, but those who have been there?</p><p>Dedicated to Joshua Stroud and your entire Family.

  <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4B0082;"><span style="font-size: 48px;">Dr. Steven Greer - One God</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4B0082;"><span style="font-size: 8px;"><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Dr. Steven Greer - One God As there is one God which manifests one creation, so there is one God which is the source of all conscious beings, whether on earth or elsewhere. The great Universal Intelligence has sent a ray of this light of consciousness throughout all conscious beings, and we are united to God and to one another through its subtle and all-pervading effect. It is for these reasons that I state that the reality of man and the reality of other extraterrestrial peoples are one. </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14.4px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" height="27" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/4805/master/" style="cursor: default; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px transparent; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;" width="27">&nbsp;Dr. Greer&rsquo;s mission is to initiate peaceful contact and put an end to the disinformation surrounding contact. To achieve this goal, it will take one percent of the world&rsquo;s population to come together with peaceful intent and initiate contact. To that end Dr. Greer has produced three incredible documentaries on the subject, amassed a large following on social media, and inspired a far-reaching network of independent CE5 Groups Worldwide.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14.4px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: center;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="" height="61" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-01-thin-shadow.png" style="cursor: default; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px transparent; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;" width="880"></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14.4px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">&nbsp;</p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">My comments on this Question of One GOD: Do beings who have evolved on other whirling worlds of space know love and serve the same God we on our world strive to know and serve.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">In attempting to understand the spiritual life of a created being on a world of space, the study of the prayer&nbsp;life of that creature is essential to understanding the relationship they have with God. To better understand that there is only one God for all worlds we can draw information from God&#39;s&nbsp;Creator Paradise Son who visited this world 2,000 years ago.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jesus clearly explained to the first&nbsp;12 Apostles that he had children on other worlds of space and that he desired they all come together into one fold. Their&nbsp;are 619 inhabited worlds just in our local system of worlds. We were the 606 world to evolve a being capable of human will dignity. A being with a mind capable of understanding their Creator.&nbsp;When these first two human beings one male one female evolved on our world&nbsp;custody of the the world was placed in their hands.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">Other worlds under proper divine management that are&nbsp;much older than our world have evolved through scientific knowledge, communication, energy&nbsp;and transportations systems far in advance of our own. They are extremely interested in our world as a Universe Creator Son of God only bestows himself on one of the ten million inhabited worlds in the Universe of his own creation. This bestowal life is in the exact image and similitude of his created children living on that world. When Jesus was born&nbsp;August 21st 7 BC&nbsp;just as any other child on our&nbsp;world our planet actually became the headquarter world of&nbsp;an entire Universe during his life here&nbsp;and the sentimental shrine of ten million other inhabited worlds. Thus the supreme&nbsp;interest on other worlds of space in our world and its place in&nbsp;our Universe. They are watching and waiting for the world to free itself from the open rebellion of Lucifer and the planetary default of Adam and Eve. Knowing full well that our Creator promised to return to this world not as a man among men but as a Sovereign&nbsp;Master Paradise Creator Son of God.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">So to understand the devotions of other worlds to one God you can come to know much more about them through the prayers they use.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">When the 12 Apostles were asking Jesus to clarify the prayer life of the children of God, Jesus disclosed to them a suggestive type of pray he used and taught his family after the death of Joseph and also gave in discussions on other matters regarding the attitude of the soul towards God gave them 8 other prayers that were from his children living on other worlds of space. In studying these prayers you can learn much about the spiritual strivings of beings from other worlds of space.</span></p><p><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;">GOD Is Love and is best known throughout the FAR FLUNG Universes&nbsp;as THE FATHER OF LOVE.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><strong style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The Prayer Jesus taught his human family after the death of Joseph</span></span></strong></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Our Father who is in heaven,<br />
Hallowed be your name.<br />
Your kingdom come; your will be done<br />
On earth as it is in heaven.<br />
Give us this day our bread for tomorrow;<br />
Refresh our souls with the water of life.<br />
And forgive us every one our debts<br />
As we also have forgiven our debtors.<br />
Save us in temptation, deliver us from evil,<br />
And increasingly make us perfect like yourself.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;From time to time, during the remainder of Jesus&rsquo; sojourn on earth, he brought to the notice of the apostles several additional forms of prayer, but he did this only in illustration of other matters, and he enjoined that these &ldquo;parable prayers&rdquo; should not be taught to the multitudes. Many of them were from other inhabited planets, but this fact Jesus did not reveal to the twelve. Among these prayers were the following:</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 18px;" width="600"></span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Our Father in whom consist the universe realms,<br />
Uplifted be your name and all-glorious your character.<br />
Your presence encompasses us, and your glory is manifested<br />
Imperfectly through us as it is in perfection shown on high.<br />
Give us this day the vivifying forces of light,<br />
And let us not stray into the evil bypaths of our imagination,<br />
For yours is the glorious indwelling, the everlasting power,<br />
And to us, the eternal gift of the infinite love of your Son. (<span style="font-size: 18px; color: rgb(169, 169, 169);"><em style="font-size: 18px;">Jesus as the Spirit of Truth</em></span>)<br />
Even so, and everlastingly true.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="600"></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Our creative Parent, who is in the center of the universe,<br />
Bestow upon us your nature and give to us your character.<br />
Make us sons and daughters of yours by grace<br />
And glorify your name through our eternal achievement.<br />
Your adjusting and controlling spirit give to live and dwell within us<br />
That we may do your will on this sphere as angels do your bidding in light.<br />
Sustain us this day in our progress along the path of truth.<br />
Deliver us from inertia, evil, and all sinful transgression.<br />
Be patient with us as we show loving-kindness to our fellows.<br />
Shed abroad the spirit of your mercy in our creature hearts.<br />
Lead us by your own hand, step by step, through the uncertain maze of life,<br />
And when our end shall come, receive into your own bosom our faithful spirits.<br />
Even so, not our desires but your will be done.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="600"></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Our perfect and righteous heavenly Father,<br />
This day guide and direct our journey.<br />
Sanctify our steps and co-ordinate our thoughts.<br />
Ever lead us in the ways of eternal progress.<br />
Fill us with wisdom to the fullness of power<br />
And vitalize us with your infinite energy.<br />
Inspire us with the divine consciousness of<br />
The presence and guidance of the seraphic hosts.<br />
Guide us ever upward in the pathway of light;<br />
Justify us fully in the day of the great judgment.<br />
Make us like yourself in eternal glory<br />
And receive us into your endless service on high.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="600"></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Our Father who is in the mystery,<br />
Reveal to us your holy character.<br />
Give your children on earth this day<br />
To see the way, the light, and the truth.<br />
Show us the pathway of eternal progress<br />
And give us the will to walk therein.<br />
Establish within us your divine kingship<br />
And thereby bestow upon us the full mastery of self.<br />
Let us not stray into paths of darkness and death;<br />
Lead us everlastingly beside the waters of life.<br />
Hear these our prayers for your own sake;<br />
Be pleased to make us more and more like yourself.<br />
At the end, for the sake of the divine Son,<br />
Receive us into the eternal arms.<br />
Even so, not our will but yours be done.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 18px;" width="600"></span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Glorious Father and Mother, in one parent combined,<br />
Loyal would we be to your divine nature.<br />
Your own self to live again in and through us<br />
By the gift and bestowal of your divine spirit,<br />
Thus reproducing you imperfectly in this sphere<br />
As you are perfectly and majestically shown on high.<br />
Give us day by day your sweet ministry of brotherhood<br />
And lead us moment by moment in the pathway of loving service.<br />
Be you ever and unfailingly patient with us<br />
Even as we show forth your patience to our children.<br />
Give us the divine wisdom that does all things well<br />
And the infinite love that is gracious to every creature.<br />
Bestow upon us your patience and loving-kindness<br />
That our charity may enfold the weak of the realm.<br />
And when our career is finished, make it an honor to your name,<br />

May the Son guide and lead us to the end of the age.<br />
Make us ever and increasingly like yourself<br />
And at our end receive us into the eternal Paradise embrace.<br />
Even so, in the name of the bestowal Son<br />
And for the honor and glory of the Supreme Father.</span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" style="font-size: 18px;" width="600"></span></p><p style="font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Though the apostles were not at liberty to present these prayer lessons in their public teachings, they profited much from all of these revelations in their personal religious experiences.

  <title><![CDATA[Research on renowned readers of The Urantia Book]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[<h1 style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem; font-weight: 500; font-size: 2.5rem; text-align: center;">Renowned Readers of&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i></h1><p style="text-align: center;"><i><img alt="" height="36" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></i></p><div id="mike"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I&rsquo;m Michael MacIsaac and I created this website to inform Urantia Book readers about an exciting project I&rsquo;ve been working on for many years.<br /><br /><br /><br />Please start by watching the video. It&rsquo;s the introduction to this project which isn&rsquo;t repeated in writing here. I share about the project at the start and the end, and the video also features comments from three Urantia Book readers and my former academic supervisor at Stockholm University.<br /><br /><br /><br />You can support this project through its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Renowned-Readers-of-the-Revelation" style="color: rgb(13, 110, 253);">GoFundMe campaign</a>&nbsp;(you&rsquo;ll find information specifically related to the campaign by scrolling down).</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://gofund.me/65b41b72" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="196" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73567/master/" width="481"></a><br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>A Compelling Contrast</span></span><br />
<br />
&ldquo;<i><span>It&rsquo;s really amazing to think how much influence the revelation is having on popular culture, unbeknownst even to those with whom it&rsquo;s popular.</span></i>&rdquo; Paula Thompson<br />
<br />
There&rsquo;s a compelling contrast in the fact that&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;has received so little public attention and relatively few people have found and taken interest in it, while a surprising number of famous musicians, artists, authors, and so forth have been attracted to and inspired by it.<br />
<br />
This forthcoming publication provides extensively researched and fascinating biographical sketches of numerous pioneers and legends who have read&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>, in addition to an impressive panoramic view of the revelation&rsquo;s influence on the broader culture.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Stories that Spark Interest</span></span><br />
<br />
Stories of the masterfully talented people who&rsquo;ve read&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;will intrigue fans and seekers who will wonder why it has attracted so many outstanding individuals. For example, Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Garcia fans can discover the vivid afterlife descriptions of our cosmic destiny that these rock icons envisioned and may have believed in.<br />
<br />
I often mention musicians, but there are also many successful creatives in a variety of other fields. For instance, when it comes to authors, several of the most acclaimed fiction writers and many of the most influential personal development gurus of the Boomer generation have been influenced by&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Carlos Santana and Jerry Garcia - two lifelong Urantia Book readers<br />
&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="453" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73569/master/" width="801"></p><p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>The Woodstock Generation</span></span><br />
<br />
Most of the famous and influential people covered in this research are of the Baby Boomer generation &ndash; also dubbed the &ldquo;Woodstock Generation.&rdquo; Quite a number of famous musicians who performed at that iconic festival read&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>, and readers and seekers who experienced that momentous era are especially poised to appreciate this research on famous artists of their generation (one reason why I consider it essential to publish soon).<br />
<br />
Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and certain other celebrities are still relatively well-known among younger people (yes, it appears that Dylan reads&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>). Yet many young folks aren&rsquo;t familiar with stars of previous generations, such as Merle Haggard or actor Eddie Albert. I was previously unfamiliar with most of the celebrities I&rsquo;ve researched, making this an exciting journey of discovery. I contextualize the findings so that all generations can better appreciate these bright souls&rsquo; fascinating roles in our cultural history.<br />
<br />
Urantia Book enthusiast Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="453" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73570/master/" width="796"></p><p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Academic Genre</span></span><br />
<br />
This project began as my 220-page master&rsquo;s thesis, which includes sections on&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&rsquo;s origin, contents, readership, and broader cultural influence. Other sections present the uniqueness of&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;in a comparative context, demonstrating why scholars and journalists are mistaken when categorizing it as &ldquo;New Age&rdquo; or a &ldquo;UFO religion.&rdquo; Several Stockholm University professors who read my thesis insisted that I need to publish this &ldquo;compelling&rdquo; research.<br />
<br />
After completing the thesis, I continued to research famous Urantia Book readers. At over 600 pages and close to completion, this has become the most extensive section of the manuscript. Much of the manuscript could be viewed as an encyclopedia of sorts of&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&rsquo;s widespread cultural influence. I&rsquo;ve maintained an academic format, presenting findings from a neutral point of view and meticulously citing sources (it has nearly three thousand footnotes).<br />
<br />
As academic and media attention regarding&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;increases, this research will prove a valuable resource, providing balanced, nuanced, and reliable information.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>&ldquo;Buried in the map&rdquo;</span></span><br />
<br />
Two non-reader friends recently spoke in a video interview about why they&rsquo;re excited about this research.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;<span><i>Everyone I&rsquo;ve talked to about it seems really interested in it. And I think the reason is it seems to have had such a widespread influence in so many different aspects and with so many people that other people have heard of. It&rsquo;s like there&rsquo;s been this undercurrent affecting culture for decades and decades that barely anyone has heard about, and yet all these famous people have heard about it. So, you get this feeling that we&rsquo;re like missing out on some kind of big secret&hellip; It&rsquo;s like finding out that there&rsquo;s a whole other chemical element that&rsquo;s composing our world that we should have known about the whole time.&rdquo;</i></span>&nbsp;&ndash; Johnathan<br />
<br />
&ldquo;<span><i>When it&rsquo;s like, &lsquo;this fellow, and this fellow, and that group, and this, and this...&rsquo; It&rsquo;s like, &lsquo;What the f. is this?!&rsquo; Because no one knows anything about The Urantia Book. It&rsquo;s just so out of the map. And then suddenly you realize, &lsquo;Oh, it&rsquo;s actually on the map. It&rsquo;s like buried in the map.&rsquo;</i></span>&rdquo; &ndash; Mats<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Personal Connections</span></span><br />
<br />
My lifelong passion for getting to know other Urantia Book readers has facilitated this research and enriched my life immeasurably.<br />
<br />
I spent much of my twenties focusing on supporting young readers, learning so much from visiting countless Urantia students near and far. I continue to travel to gatherings and conferences every year because of these cherished friendships and to help contribute.<br />
<br />
I deeply appreciate you all and thank you for inspiring me with your dedication, service, and faith.<br />

<br />
&ldquo;<i><span>Michael MacIsaac has painstakingly researched the actors, authors, musicians, scientists, and others whose names appear in these pages. This work has taken nearly two decades to come to this point, and you will see, the effort has been so worth it. You will be delightfully surprised (if not shocked) as you discover how&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;inspired celebrities whose work and creativity have contributed to your life in some way or another. To me, the combined efforts of all these people have created a subtle web of spiritual support that underlies and fosters the growth of those who dare look beyond the mundane.</span></i>&rdquo; Oct 2021<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span id="willie">Willie Nelson and The Urantia Book</span></span><br />
<br />
I shared a photograph of Willie Nelson being given a copy of&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;and thought I&#39;d let you know the story behind it. The photo also features the country musician and songwriter William &ldquo;Flash&rdquo; Gordon, who was giving Willie Nelson the book. The picture was taken in 1979 when Gordon was playing at Willie Nelson&#39;s annual 4th of July picnic in 1979, at Pedernales Country Club in Austin, Texas. William Gordon toured with many country artists and co-wrote the Hank Williams Jr. song &quot;In the Arms of Cocaine&quot;. The renowned country songwriter Hal Bynum had turned William Gordon on to the book.<br />
<br />
Hal Bynum had asked Lee Rector to deliver the book to Willie Nelson, and Lee gave it to William Gordon so that he could take a picture of Willie Nelson holding the book. There was a personal note from Hal Bynum folded in the book. Bynum wrote over 200 songs for popular country musicians, including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Jim Reeves. His biggest hit was &ldquo;Lucille&rdquo;, which he co-wrote with Roger Bowling. Kenny Rogers&#39; version of the song was an enormous hit. Hal Bynum&#39;s connections in the industry helped him directly or indirectly introduce&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;to scores of musicians and songwriters.<br />
<br />
Lee Rector, who took the picture, had also indirectly been introduced to&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;by Hal Bynum. Rector was there to interview Willie Nelson for a cover story in Music City News. Nashville is commonly known as Music City, and it is said to be the US&#39;s second-largest music production center (after NYC, 3rd largest by some measures). As editor of Nashville&rsquo;s primary music news source, Lee Rector was also very well connected and introduced many people in the music industry to the book. He helped lead a vibrant study group that was attended by many accomplished musicians and songwriters, and he&rsquo;s been tremendously helpful with this research.<br />
<br />
Lee Rector recalls the &quot;piercing eyeball to eyeball look that Willie gave everyone (and still does)&quot; that the picture captures. William Gordon recalls: &quot;Willie told me that he had read the book several times and he already had one. But I told him to keep it and pass it on to an interested party.&quot;&nbsp;Gordon says he then told Willie Nelson &ldquo;about the part in the book on page 500 about music playing a part in changing the world. I told him they were talking about him.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Like other famous musicians, Willie Nelson was fascinated by the section on the celestial musicians. A friend who went on tour with Willie Nelson a decade later told me Willie liked to talk about those passages that Wiliam Gordon had paraphrased to him. &ldquo;But be not discouraged; some day a real musician may appear on Urantia, and whole peoples will be enthralled by the magnificent strains of his melodies. One such human being could forever change the course of a whole nation, even the entire civilized world.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Willie Nelson reportedly turned a lot of people on to&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>&nbsp;and read it with some who are as iconic as he is. You will find much more of this story and many others in the pages of my forthcoming book.<br />
<br />
<br />
Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson shared five decades of friendship and had a common interest in&nbsp;<i><span>The Urantia Book</span></i>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="454" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73573/master/" width="801"></p><p><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span id="james">James Woodward Writes:</span></span><br />
<br />
&ldquo;<i>I remember the first time I met Michael MacIsaac. The year was 1997 and we were both attending a Urantia conference in Southern California. During one of my airport pickups I gathered the usual group of&hellip; ahem&hellip; older people, but among them was a young man, very tall, and very friendly. He obviously had a very keen interest in The Urantia Book, knew its contents well, and enjoyed meeting people and making friends. We got to know each other better at many more conferences over the years. I still respect his ability&mdash;a gift really&mdash;to connect with people he has never met.<br />
<br />
Our paths intertwined more when I began to work at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urantia.org/" style="color: rgb(13, 110, 253);">Urantia Foundation</a>&nbsp;and would help Mike in his youth tours, rounding up younger readers for conferences and road trips, hosting them at the foundation when they passed through Chicago on their gypsy spiritual adventures. My respect for Michael grew as I saw him devote so much of his time and energy to getting his Urantia Book peers engaged with each other&mdash;and encouraging them in deep study of The Urantia Book.<br />
<br />
Those of us who have been part of the Urantia community for a long time knew of rumors of famous people who read The Urantia Book. Those rumors became real to me when I heard first-hand accounts of such tales and even spoke with some of them. It was in the early 2000s when Michael told me that he had begun researching famous readers as part of his master&rsquo;s thesis. Soon we were sharing stories and &ldquo;leads,&rdquo; some of which turned out to be verifiable. Over the years he&#39;s shared many of his finds with me, and I shared tips that came my way. Michael&rsquo;s project expanded&mdash;his writing and research got more precise and academic, and his list grew&hellip; and grew. To say that Michael has been tenacious in his unique &ldquo;hobby&rdquo; would be an understatement!<br />
<br />
It has been a true joy to share the ride with Mike in a small way. His devotion to the quest has never flagged; even now he sends me drafts, &ldquo;Urantia Book bios&rdquo; of freshly discovered people of note with the enthusiasm of a passionate collector. My own interest in sleuthing out possible Urantia Book enthusiasts has been part of the fun, but mostly it has been observing Michael&rsquo;s passion. Perhaps this forthcoming book of Mike&rsquo;s research will advance the visibility and appreciation of The Urantia Book. I can&rsquo;t say his book is going to be big, but I can say that it&rsquo;s going to play a unique role in the social outworking / public awareness of a self-described epochal revelation.&rdquo;</i><br />

This is the grave monument of&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Karlheinz Stockhausen</span></span>&nbsp;(1928 &ndash; 2007). He is one of the most renowned, groundbreaking, and influential composers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. He would tell his students the book was required reading and it strongly influenced his compositions. As with Willie Nelson, the person who gave Stockhausen&nbsp;<i><span>The Urantia Book</span></i>&nbsp;reportedly told him he was the person they were talking about who would change the world with music.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="454" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73576/master/" width="803"></p><p><br />

Dan Amyx took this photo at a&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Moody Blues</span></span>&nbsp;concert. Urantia Book influences can be found in the work of many of the most legendary progressive rock bands.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="451" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/73581/master/" width="801"></p><p><br />
<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Joep Beving</span></span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bolder;"><span>Cameron Graves</span></span>&nbsp;are two renowned composer pianists whose work is influenced by&nbsp;<i>The Urantia Book</i>. It has been exciting to interview and research them and to see how they&#39;re fast becoming musical legends of my generation.</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnAUNko94h8<br />
