The Cosmic Citizen

We continue our study of our Heavenly Father and his relatiion to the universe in Paper 4 of The Urantia Book with §2 on God and Nature. Nature is in a limited sense the physical habit of God. The conduct, or action, of God is qualified and provisionally modified by the experimental plans and the evolutionary patterns of a local universe, a constellation, a system, or a planet. God acts in accorda...

After a three-week hiatus where three or more of us were unavailable for one reason or another, we are ready to resume our study of our Heavenly Father—our Good Dad!

This week we continue our study of Urantia Paper 3 - The Attributes of God. We are studying section 3, God's Universal Knowledge, and hope to get to section 4, God's Limitlessness. Some points to ponder: “God knows all things.” The divine mind is conscious of, and conversant with, the thought of all creation. His knowledge of events is universal and perfect. The divine entities going out from him...

Happy Easter from the Cosmic Citizen crew! This week we continue our study of Urantia Paper 2 - The Nature of God. We will reread and discuss Section 5: The Love of God. We feel this is auspicious because it's Easter weekend, and Saturday the 8th is the "time of the tomb."  As the revelation so aptly states, "It looked dark on that day of the crucifixion, but it was gloriously bright on the resurr...

Cosmic Citizens! We have, in all these long years of the webcast, never undertaken a series on our Universal Father—he, without whom, no person or thing would exist. In an age on our world, when in developing countries few can imagine the reality of the God portrayed in the Abrahamic religions, we would take a few months, with an interruption here and there, to study the first five papers of The U...

We continue our next installment of Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe! In this paper the word “angel” is purposely limited to the designation of those seraphic and associated offspring of the Universe Mother Spirit who are so largely concerned with the operation of the plans of mortal survival. There serve in the local universe six other orders of related beings, the unrevealed angels, who...

We begin a new study this week, Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe! The angels of the local universe are among those who come closest to us in our material and mortal sojourn. We are told that "only good can result from your efforts to understand and love them." The Creator Son and the universe representation of the Infinite Spirit collaborate in the creation of a large number of Sons and o...

We conclude our study of various local universe orders, denominated the Universe Aids of Paper 37, facilitating the mortal ascension career, including the "stationary" permanent citizens of the local universe, the spironga, the sagia, well-nigh ideal animals, and others. These orders of beings are by and large neither ascending nor descending. They are all experiential creatures, but their enlargi...
