We are BACK and ready to dive back into the Thought Adjuster Papers!  Jesus said, "I declare that the kingdom of heaven is the realization and acknowledgment of God's rule within the hearts of men."  That is what the 5 Thought Adjuster Papers in The Urantia Book are all about.

This week's we finish one Urantia Paper, and start a new Paper. We will finish Paper 108, the last section of which is simply...GOD IN MAN! We'll consider that the God within, "...is the wellspring of spiritual attainment and the hope of divine character within you. He is the power, privilege, and the possibility of survival, which so fully and forever distinguishes you from mere animal creatures....

Relation to Other Spiritual Influences & §5.The Adjuster’s Mission. Apart from possible co-ordination with other Deity fragments, the Adjusters are quite alone in their sphere of activity in the mortal mind. The Mystery Moni...

We continue our study of the Thought Adjusters this week, beginning the second paper, Paper 108, Mission and Ministry of Thought Adjusters.

We continue our study of the Thought Adjusters this week, resuming with the Nature and Presence of Thought Adjusters: The Adjuster is man’s eternity possibility; man is the Adjuster’s personality possibility. (1182.4) 107:6.2 We know that Thought Adjusters are spirits, pure spirits, presumably absolute spirits. But the Adjuster must also be something more than exclusive spirit reality. In addition...

We continue our study of the Thought Adjusters this week, resuming with the Nature and Presence of Thought Adjusters: To say that a Thought Adjuster is divine is merely to recognize the nature of origin. It is highly probable that such purity of divinity embraces the essence of the potential of all attributes of Deity which can be contained within such a fragment of the absolute essence of the uni...

We continue our study of the Thought Adjusters this week, resuming with how Thought Adjusters are classified: Adjusters are individuated as virgin entities, and all are destined to become either liberated, fused, or Personalized Monitors. We understand that there are seven orders of Thought Adjusters, although we do not altogether comprehend these divisions. (1178.2) 107:2.1 There are many ways in...

  We begin our study of the Thought Adjusters this week as we celebrate Easter week.  Another pentateuch of Papers, from 107 to 111, we start with consideration of the origin of the Mystery Monitors, our Divine Indwellers--the Father Fragments.  These prepersonal gifts from the Father's sphere will be our primary study these next several weeks. The eternal Father is at one and the same time farthe...

This is the second episode in a segué from "the religion papers" which fall in the heart of The Urantia Revelation. After reading Jesus' Discourse on True Religion from Paper 155 §5 of The Urantia Book, we read The Second Discourse on Religion where Jesus more fully expounds on his first discourse, hours before. Jesus contrasts "authoritative" religion and its bondage as a religion of creedal beli...

This is the first episode in a segué from "the religion papers" which fall in the heart of The Urantia Revelation. This was religion from a Melchizedek viewpoint full of insights. Jesus' Discourse on True Religion from Paper 155 §5 of The Urantia Book is one of the seminal treatises on religion on our world.  Jesus discourse to his apostles contextualizes personal religious experience with primiti...

This is the last episode in our study of "the religion papers" which fall in the heart of The Urantia Revelation. We are finishing Urantia Paper 103, The Reality of Religious Experience and covering the last section, Section 9, The Essence of Religion. It's a short study this week so we open the lines to you. How are you holding up? Call in, let's talk. Some think that a study on religion is borin...

Likely, our second-to-last show in our study of religion with the fifth of the "religion papers, The Reality of Religious Experience with §7 & §8, Science and Religion and Philosophy and Religion. But as ascending man reaches inward and Paradiseward for the God experience, he will likewise be reaching outward and spaceward for an energy understanding of the material cosmos. The progression of...

This week we continue our study on Religion from The Urantia Book. We've covered 4 of the 5 papers that are the seminal papers about human religion.  We've learned so far that although religious awakening is a gradual process, some spiritual births are accompanied by crisis and anguish while others can be a natural growth of the recognition of spiritual values. Because personalities are unique, no...

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we will take a one week break in our in-depth study of the the “religion papers.” We'll be resuming that fascinating study on March 7th.   Our special guests this Saturday will be our friends from Urantia University Institute, including Marvin Gawryn, Elizabeth Callahan, Jisoo Han and Michael Hill. Our guests will be sharing the latest on the evolving vision of UUI,...

We go on with our study of religion with the fifth of the "religion papers, The Reality of Religious Experience with sections 5 & 6, The Origin of Ideals and Philosophic Coordination. This idea-ideal of doing good to others — the impulse to deny the ego something for the benefit of one’s neighbor — is very circumscribed at first. Primitive man regards as neighbor only those very close to him,...
