This week we begin Paper 8 of The Urantia Book—The Infinite Spirit—with the Intro section and  §1. The God of Action.  BACK in eternity, when the Universal Father’s “first” infinite and absolute thought finds in the Eternal Son such a perfect and adequate word for its divine expression, there ensues the supreme desire of both the Thought-God and the Word-God for a universal and infinite agent of m...

This week we attempt to conclude Urantia Paper 7—Relation of the Eternal Son to the Universe—with §6. The Paradise Sons of God & §7. The Supreme Revelation of the Father.   The lack of a knowledge of the multiple Sons of God is a source of great confusion on Urantia. And this ignorance persists in the face of such statements as the record of a conclave of these divine personalities: “When the...

This week we continue Urantia Paper 7—Relation of the Eternal Son to the Universe, with § 5. The Spirit of Bestowal.  (86.2) 7:5.1 The Eternal Son without reservation joined with the Universal Father in broadcasting that tremendous injunction to all creation: “Be you perfect, even as your Father in Havona is perfect.” And ever since, that invitation-command has motivated all the survival plans and...

This week we continue Urantia Paper 7—Relation of the Eternal Son to the Universe, with § 4. The Divine Perfection Plans! Last time we were able to cover both Sections 2. The Administration of the Eternal Son and 3. Relation of the Eternal Son to the Individual. The ascension plan for material beings is a joint creation of the Father and the Son. The universal plan for the creation, evolution, asc...

This week we continue Urantia Paper 7—Relation of the Eternal Son to the Universe, with § 2. The Administration of the Eternal Son.  As we pass outward from Paradise through Havona and into the realms of the seven superuniverses, we detect less and less of the personal activity of the Eternal Son. In the post-Havona universes the presence of the Eternal Son is personalized in the Paradise Sons......

This week we begin Urantia Paper 7—Relation of the Eternal Son to the Universe, with Section 1. The Spirit-Gravity Circuit. Among other things, we will learn that the Eternal Son upholds the vast creation of spiritual beings and realities. He is the sovereign of the spiritual universe because he controls the spiritual gravity circuit. Spiritual gravity functions independently of time and space; it...

This week we will feature two very special guests on The Cosmic Citizen, Gabriel Rymberg and Lisa Crawford from The Center for Unity (CFU). Gabriel and Lisa are two of the primary people involved CFU, a non-profit organization based in Israel, comprised of dedicated Urantia Book students, and supported by a vibrant community of volunteers. It draws its inspiration from a powerful quote: "The relig...

Join us this week on the Cosmic Citizen as we conclude our study of Urantia Paper 6—The Eternal Son with §8. Realization of the Eternal Son. Concerning identity, nature, and other attributes of personality, the Eternal Son is the full equal, the perfect complement, and the eternal counterpart of the Universal Father. In the same sense that God is the Universal Father, the Son is the Universal Moth...

Join us this week on the Cosmic Citizen as we continue our study of Urantia Paper 6—The Eternal Son. Spirit is ever conscious, minded, and possessed of varied phases of identity. Without mind in some phase there would be no spiritual consciousness in the fraternity of spirit beings. The equivalent of mind, the ability to know and be known, is indigenous to Deity. Deity may be personal, prepersonal...

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we'll continue our study of Urantia Paper 6 - The Eternal Son. We are reading and discussing Section 5 of that Paper: Limitations of the Eternal Son. Could there possibly be any limitations on the Second Person of the Paradise Trinity? This section reveals that there are some limitations of The Eternal Son in relation to his Deity Associates, the Father and the Infi...

This week we continue our study of Urantia Paper 6, The Eternal Son, by reading and discussing Section 4, Attributes of the Eternal Son.  So far in this study, we've reviewed the Eternal Son's identity and nature as well as the Father's ministry. But there is much more to be discovered about The Second Source and Center of Creation. This week we'll be exploring the Eternal Son as a co-equal and co...

This week we continue our study of Paper 6 - The Eternal Son. We will be studying Section 3. Ministry of the Father's Love, and Section 4. Attributes of the Eternal Son. Paper 6 of The Urantia Book is about the Eternal Son, who is the second person of the Paradise Trinity and the perfect expression of the Universal Father. The paper describes the identity, nature, attributes, and functions of the...

After finishing the first five Urantia Papers on God, we decided to keep going in sequence. So, this week's episode we will study Paper 6, The Eternal Son. We will cover the first two sections, 1. Identity of the Eternal Son and 2. Nature of the Eternal Son.  The Eternal Son is the original offspring or Son of God, and the Second Great Source and Center. The Son is the spiritual center of the univ...

This week we cover the final section in our study on God, Paper 5 - God's Relation of the Individual, Section 6 - The God of Personality. In this wonderful study of God, we have learned that God has many names in the Universe of Universes, but on most worlds "God is generally known by some name indicative of personal relationship, tender affection, and fatherly devotion." We've learned that "God i...

This week on The Cosmic Citizen we are studying Section 5 (The Consciousness of God) of Paper 5 (God's Relation to the Individual). So far we have studied. Paper 1. The Universal Father, including: 1.The Father's Name, 2.The Reality of God, 3.God is a Universal Spirit, 4.The Mystery of God, 5.Personality of the Universal Father, 6.Personality in the Universe, and 7.Spiritual Value of the Personali...

This week, we think, Paula, Chuck, Marvin, and Pam continue to discuss Urantia Paper 5, God’s Relation to the Individual, §4 God in Religion, and if time allows, perhaps §5 The Consciousness of God. The morality of the religions of evolution drives men forward in the God quest by the motive power of fear. The religions of revelation allure men to seek for a God of love because they crave to become...

This week Paula, Chuck, and André continue to discuss Urantia Paper 5, God’s Relation to the Individual, §3 True Worship, and if time allows, perhaps §4 God in Religion. Sincere worship connotes the mobilization of all the powers of the human personality under the dominance of the evolving soul and subject to the divine directionization of the associated Thought Adjuster. The mind of material limi...

This week Paula, Marvin, and Pam continue to discuss Urantia Paper 5, God’s Relation to the Individual, §2 The Presence of God, and if time allows, perhaps §3 True Worship. The divine presence cannot, however, be discovered anywhere in nature or even in the lives of God-knowing mortals so fully and so certainly as in your attempted communion with the indwelling Mystery Monitor, the Paradise Though...

This week Marvin, Chuck, Pam, and André begin to discuss Urantia Paper 5, God’s Relation to the Individual, Intro & §1The Approach to God. God has distributed the infinity of his eternal nature throughout the existential realities of his six absolute co-ordinates, but he may, at any time, make direct personal contact with any part or phase or kind of creation through the agency of his preperso...

This week Paula, Chuck, and André read and discuss Urantia Paper 4. God's Relation to the Universe, §5, Erroneous Ideas of God and, perhaps, begin Paper 5 God’s Relation to the Individual, Intro & §1The Approach to God. One of the greatest sources of confusion on Urantia concerning the nature of God grows out of the failure of your sacred books clearly to distinguish between the personalities...

This week André, Chuck, and Pam read and discuss Urantia Paper 4. God's Relation to the Universe, §4, The Realization of God and, perhaps, §5, Erroneous Ideas of God. In this section we will learn about the immutability of God’s nature and character and that he does not change in his essence, attributes, or will. Since God is self-existent, he is absolutely independent. The very identity of God is...
