The Cosmic Citizen

This Saturday, we continue our exploration of a continental nation on a "not far-distant planet" in our local system of inhabited worlds.   Beginning Part 1 of our study found us grateful that permission was granted to make this extraordinary and unusual presentation in the Urantia Revelation. We were eager to explore the many similarities between that world and ours. The civilization on this plan...

This Saturday, Paula, Christilyn, André, and Derek begin the exploration of the revelation of a continental nation on a "not far-distant planet" of our local system—a region having a radius of 30-to-50 light-years—of inhabited worlds.  The revelators state that the "similarity of the two spheres undoubtedly explains why permission to make this extraordinary presentation was granted, for it is most...

What can we learn from the Urantia Book’s teachings about our ascendant career than can illuminate life’s significance and improve our educational efforts here on earth? And how can we introduce our communities to the ascendant career? "One of the most important lessons to be learned during your mortal career is teamwork. The spheres of perfection are manned by those who have mastered this art of...

In the first installment of this series, we read, "All the worlds of a local system disclose...

Are there other worlds in the cosmos and if so, are they inhabited?  The Urantia Book says, without equivocation, YES! There are myriad worlds in the Universe of Universes. It's describes this life in astonishing detail and in unexpected ways that will delight and surprise you.

The Urantia Book unequivocally states, "The political sovereignty of representative mankind government will bring lasting peace on earth, and the spiritual brotherhood of man will forever insure good will among all men. And there is no other way whereby peace on earth and good will among men can be realized." (134:6.13) H. Joseph Menton and Cayce Snyder will be our guests in our upcoming program e...

Are there other worlds in the cosmos and if so, are they inhabited?  The ancients had no concept of other worlds, they didn't really have an accurate concept of Earth. But we who have lived in the age of the Hubble and science, know that every law of probability states that there IS life on other planets.  In the 1930s, a marvelous revelation called the Urantia Papers said this, "The myriads of pl...

Three weeks ago we finished a study of Urantia Paper 52: Planetary Mortal Epochs. We've read and discussed all 7 sections on the planetary epochs but we never got to sum up the paper overall because we had other great shows scheduled.

Come celebrate Jesus’ Birthday with us LIVE from Nazareth Village in Galilee.   Did you know that Jesus was born on August the 21st, 7 BC?  Well, according to the Urantia revelation, he was.

By the break of day the pangs of childbirth were well in evidence...

During the past two shows we have studied Urantia Paper 52: Planetary Mortal Epochs. Cross references to this paper came up several times on our show about Ancient Aliens and we thought it would be timely to review what the revelation says about how beings evolve on the inhabited worlds. We've currently read and discussed the first 4 planetary epochs. Pre-Planetary Prince Man: Characterized by Pri...

Building on the wonderful show we had with Derek Samaras last week, we thought it might be timely to start a study of Urantia Paper 52: Planetary Mortal Epochs. It came up several times as we discussed the periodic and purposeful visitations to Earth from higher universe personalities, whom some would call ETs and others...aliens. However, the Urantia Book doesn't call them aliens. There are no "a...

The Urantia Books says that a powerful celestial administrator came to this world about 500,000 years ago. He came with a corps of 100 volunteers. This position of governance is a role known on high as the "Planetary Prince." The volunteers are his staff. He took our world into a rebellion against the Universe and we have since called him "the Prince of Darkness."  This group of beings has also co...

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we ask, why do we call God Father? What is it about the nature and character of God that makes the name Father a more accurate way to describe him? for that matter, why use gender based language to describe God at all? The first sentence of The Urantia Book says, "THE Universal Father is the God of all creation, the First Source and Center of all things and beings....

SpiritQuest: TO STRENGTHEN THE FABRIC OF GOODWILL IN THE AWAKENING WORLD.  SpiritQuest = Practical Spirituality.  Would you be so kind and Re-POST this out.. thx GG.  When the development of the intellectual nature proceeds faster than that of the spiritual, such a situation renders communication with the SPIRIT WITHIN YOU  both difficult and dangerous. Likewise, overspiritual development tends to...
