The Cosmic Citizen

This week’s show is a continuation of our series on coping with adversity and tribulation. Our guest is Jonathan Johnson - is a musician, storyteller, and minister who was in the original traveling cast of HAIR. Jonathan lost his spouse and baby to a real HATE CRIME (in the late 60s) when they burned down his hotel while he was in the theater during the show in Cleveland. Not only was his family k...

Is the Great Tribulation getting set to plunge us into seven years of global chaos? Is Planet Niburu going to collide with Earth? Is an evil shadow government spinning out deadly hurricanes? Sincere and thoughtful people believe these theories and some think that Saturday, September 23rd, 2017, will mark the end of the world as we know it. Surely the current problems facing humanity are serious. H...

What faithful student of The Urantia Book isn’t excited by the endless vistas of higher learning, relational experience, and cosmic service that it vividly portrays to us? And by the idea that some of the ideas and ideals of our morontia education can begin now for the benefit of our embryonic morontia souls?  And that philosophy–the search for wisdom–is destined to become our chief educational pu...

Join Paula, Andre, Christilyn and Derek as we further explore together Jesus' Spirit of Truth. Last week, we covered only half of what we had selected on this topic and so we're revisiting it. Here's one we missed: "The chief mission of this outpoured spirit of the Father and the Son is to teach men about the truths of the Father's love and the Son's mercy. These are the truths of divinity which m...

This week the entire Cosmic Citizen crew is back from our summer break. Join Paula, Andre, Christilyn and Derek as we explore together Jesus' Spirit of Truth. The Urantia Book says so much about the Spirit of Truth. Jesus said many things about the ministry of His spirit, the Spirit of Truth that he would "pour out upon all flesh."  Consider these words of the Master, ""My little children, I am go...

OUR PLANET URANTIA is unique in all Nebadon, and the epochal revelations that have occurred here up to now show many signs of the adjustments and adaptations that our spiritual superiors appear to have adopted in order to overcome highly unfavorable circumstances … or at least to make a good start in that direction! This is where our beloved Creator Son, Christ Michael of Nebadon, carried out his...

  This is a Test Episode for Training purposes only.   Revelation Revealed will be a 6- or 7-part series.  

What does a total eclipse and Jesus' birthday have in common? Well, this year they are happening on the same day and we can celebrate both events together! We'll be meeting with Tom Allen, a devoted Urantian from Oklahoma City, to discuss how at the 4th Scientific Symposium. From Tom: It is with a great and joyful anticipation that the fourth Scientific Symposium (SSIV) will be held August 18-21 n...

Our Creators want us to evolve high-quality souls as we unify our personalities and ascend through the seven psychic circles. We can consciously follow this path through the pursuit of two core practices suggested by the UB: “soul-making” and “self-perfecting”—two phrases coined by our guest, Byron Belitsos, a veteran UB reader. Byron’s discussion in this week's show will be based on his new book,...

This week we have a special episode planned with our own Derek Samaras. Derek passionately delves into modern discoveries of the ancient world, and he shares his keen insights on our program. Recently, he wrote an article on Ikhnaton, who was the father of King Tut. The Urantia Book deems him "The Remarkable Ikhnaton" and gives him his own section in the book. 80 years ago, the UB said this about...

This week we continue our study of Paper 76 with Adam and Eve in the Second Garden, "the land between the rivers"—the Euphrates and the Tigris. On the last episode in this series (two weeks ago) we covered the second two sections of this paper, 3. Life in Mesopotamia. 4. The Violet Race. We had a great conversation on these sections and we were again blessed to have the keen insights of Charles Ol...

This week we'll be interviewing many of the people involved in planning and executing The Urantia Book Fellowship's 14th Triennial International Conference, IC'17. The conference will be held this July 29-23 on the exquisite University of Denver campus, right in the heart of the mile-high city. Join us as we discuss with the conference planning team many of the wonderful events and activities that...

This week we continue our study of Paper 76 with Adam and Eve in the Second Garden, "the land between the rivers"—the Euphrates and the Tigris. This is where current scholarship supposes Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden were, supposing they are not mythological. On the last episode we covered the first two sections of this fantastic paper, 1. The Edenites Enter Mesopotamia and 2. 2. Cain and Ab...

We commence Paper 76 of our study of Adam and Eve, regarding their arrival in "the land between the rivers"—the Euphrates and the Tigris. This is where current scholarship supposes Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden were, supposing they are not mythological.  The Urantia Book explains that his was the "second garden"—the "new Eden" to where they migrated from the Edenic peninsula in the eastern M...

Last week we had an amazing discussion of our Material Son and Daughter (Adam and Eve) including their strengths and weaknesses as well as their triumphs and tragedies. We got through sections 4, 5, and 6 with the help of some great friends and scholars, Charles Olivea and Robert Sarmast. This week we continue our study of Adam and Eve and will devote one more week to Paper 75 - The Default of Ada...

Continuing our study of Adam and Eve, we resume Paper 75, The Default of Adam and Eve, at section 4:  "The Realization of Default."  We thoroughly examined error and sin last week while recounting the default story. The Urantia Book explains and clarifies the disastrous default of Adam and Eve. The tragic events that ended the Garden civilization, nearly 38,000 years ago, is hazily recounted by an...

This week we continue our study of Adam and Eve. Having completed Urantia Paper 73 and 74 on the Garden and it's legendary inhabitants, we move on to Paper 75, The Default of Adam and Eve. You won't want to miss this study. Urantia Paper 75 explains and clarifies the disastrous default of Adam and Eve. The tragic events that ended the Garden civilization, 37,000 years ago, is hazily recounted by a...
