The Urantia Book has been a part of my life for 18 years. I'm not associated with the Foundation, or study groups, or any cult that I know of. (I find it amusing that some think readers of The Urantia Book are cult driven since the book adamantly warns against this.) I'm an average wife and working American mother who found in this book a way to understand my existence in the universe and grow in my personal philosophies of God and His relationship with me. This book is a tool of intense study, and nothing more or less than what it is to the reader. It has changed my outlook on life and given me peace of mind in my daily tasks. Those who make it out to be anything other than what it proclaims either haven't read it in its entirety, or make a habit of disclaiming any religious work simply because it's easier to attack the work than examine one's own lack of faith. Truth is easy to pick apart by unbelievers, but anyone searching for it, or struggling to discover his or her place in existence, will find The Urantia Book to be a very emotionally satisfying, philosophically engaging, and awe inspiring read.
"The Urantia Book" is a replete work, incredibly consistent. It's four parts begin with the total or superuniverse, looks at the "local universe" or creation of Jesus, then goes to the history of Earth which it designates as "Urantia," and finishes with the most amazing, detailed and thrilling account of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. The book appeals to readers from all faiths, discusses the major world religions, and develops a sense of cosmology and sense of belonging to a friendly universe greater than we are. I love this book because it has made God more clear to me, more certain. It diverges from Christianity in three doctrines: atonement, virgin birth and Adam & Eve as the first humans. The story and history of the Lucifer Rebellion are chilling. For me, the 3rd part of the book that discusses our planetary history was the authenticator. Things I can see in the world are discussed with The Urantia Book stating the causes. Like the Pharisees of old, many are threatened by new religious writings as if they would invalidate the old. The Urantia Book expands that which we have today gracefully and lovingly. For the spiritually hungry, it is a MUST READ. Read & expand.
I'll keep this simple. If you are one who realizes that the "whole truth" doesn't exist in any book but that many books contain "the truth" then this book should intrigue you. It doesn't pull any punches. It is what it is. Some parts leave me scratching my head but most parts expand my religious comprehension. And that's ok with me. Plus, if you fear it's the work of a cult, it's not. It doesn't ask you to join anything or give your money to anybody or use certain "techniques" to attain nirvana or enlightenment. You're safe. If you do not fear having your established opinions challenged, this is a true adventure for you. If you are happy and satisfied with your religious dogma, stay away.
About 18 yers ago I came across this book, just a short time before I had to undergo Heart Valve replacement. When my Doctor questioned my state of mind/anxiety the night before, I told him my only concern was having a stroke but that if I died on the operating table I wasn't worried because I knew where I was going and what was in front of me. He had the most profound look on his face and I could almost read his thoughts "maybe I should operate on this guy's head instead of his heart". Do I fear God? No - why should I fear pure Love, Understanding and Mercy? Am I afraid of going to Hell when I die? No, why should I fear someplace that doesn't exist? You've read about Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, Beelzebub, etc and you think they're different names for the same entity but there're not - all different entities. Curious isn't it? It's pleasant to read about a Creator Son of God of the Michael Order who lived a mortal life here as Jesus of Nazareth (profoundly interesting the 'why' of it). In the middle of the book, just tucked away, is a description of the Star of Bethlehem which notes the birth of Jesus as August 21, 7BC. What the book states is that the 'star' was really the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter on May 29th, September 29th and December 5th. Well, I asked a computer literate friend to check that out for me and look from Cairo, Egypt. Using mapping software called Mystars he checked.His reply? "The conjunctions took place and are viewable at 0200 hours on May 29th, 1800 hours on September 29th and 1300 hours on December 5th. Quite Amazing!" This might cause people to wonder why such a verifiable fact would be just 'tossed in' a tome of 2097 pages. Part III was a significant 'validation' for me in that the book was put together in the 1934/35 time frame, originally published in 1955, and every day, in ways too numerous to mention, that 'old' information is being validated by modern day science. Of course you don't have to read it, but if you have a curious mind and are adept at using logic and reasoning, this book is a genuine Gold Mine.
