| 1.8 (45.6) The mind presence of God is correlated with the absolute mind of the Conjoint Actor, the Infinite Spirit, but in the finite creations it is better discerned in the everywhere functioning of the cosmic mind of the Paradise Master Spirits. Just as the First Source and Center is potentially ... |

| 5. The Presence of God 8:5.1 (95.4) The outstanding attribute of the Infinite Spirit is omnipresence. Throughout all the universe of universes there is everywhere present this all-pervading spirit, which is so akin to the presence of a universal and divine mind. Both the Second Person and the Third ... |

| Many religious traditions teach that God is aloof or indifferent or disinterested in the individual. The Jesusonian Gospel teaches that God's relationship to us is that of an affectionate parent and personalized and individualized, and that makes all people and celestials a family...the children of ... |

I always prefer a General Urantia Book Discussion.

I hope to study the topic, not preach about it.

| I hope to explore the many ways mortals are connected to God and how those Deity Connections are established, and perhaps, how they become strengthened and may result in eternal life in God's friendly universe and the family of creation. To begin, the Papers tell us that life in the universe of univ... |

Material Sons and Daughters are dematerialized for transport by being enseraphimed. 8) 51:2.1 (582.1) Upon receipt of the news that another inhabited world has attained the height of physical evolution, the System Sovereign convenes the corps of Material Sons and Dau... |

| Slavery did not originate with the Egyptians or Africans, according to the UB. Slavery is far older and was an evolutionary development of progress. On normal worlds, slavery usually ends by the Adamic regime influence of the violet race and Garden culture. It is likely Dalamatia would have had the ... |

Not at all...ask whatever you will. I always try to direct inquiries to previous discussions for opinions and research. And I will offer text if I know of any. Honest inquiry is always welcome. As is sincere speculation.

| The UB does not specifically address the issues of intergalactic space travel by mechanical vehicles, or mortals from one evolutionary world visiting or traveling to other evolutionary worlds. Lots of prior discussion and speculation though! https://forum.truthbook.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5307 h... |

Early Egyptian Religion 95:2.1 (1043.7) The original Melchizedek teachings really took their deepest root in Egypt, from where they subsequently spread to Europe. The evolutionary religion of the Nile valley was perio... |

| I heartily agree with your study prioritization. The Papers speak best for themselves and reading that voice and the universe reality perspective presented there is most fruitful. Indeed, I recommend a rather brisk read through the first time, seeking the rhythm and tempo within the text and doing a... |
