Hello bongbong Interesting question Like Maryjoe, I find no reference to golden lamp stands. However, in the course of history there have been many wonderful analogies, perhaps like this one. I would suggest perhaps that the Urantia Book expands upon your story in several ways, including the idea th...

This thread is so much fun! Freak Show. Love it. will we be the cosmic equivalent of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers? My personal view is that I doubt it. Waking in a new form would seem to be a shocker for anyone, but I am thinking about the passage where they allude to the concept that we will h...

sorry to hear about your friends loss. "such a life on such a world". My personal preference would be to have a counselor rather than a pastor because unfortunately I have begun to associate many of the figures of the establishment religions with members of a certain political party. As lo...

If The Urantia Book is true, then where are the Celestials? Why don't they land in the parking lot of the United Nations headquarters and show themselves to the whole world? It seems a little too convenient that they can't do that because our planet is under quarantine. HI Urantia girl! Actually th...

I was a participant in a short lived, ill fated attempt. It kinda went "Jim Jones" rather quickly... After this experience, I am now convinced that a formalized religion based on the UB principals is a rather far off goal (of course I am usually wrong about most everything). When I first f...

But back to JW's point about racial strife and adamic bloodlines. I have really struggled with this. I don't know if its because I am still fighting off the racism I learned as a youth from (basically) our culture, or if we as a race are still too close to the horrors of the Third Riche (spelling?) ...

Fun fact... There is a passage somewhere in the book which talks about how the Andonic race cut a swath across the highlands of central Europe (Germany?). My Mom came from that region. There was a delightful Nat Geo article a few years back with a computer recreated "Neanderthal" woman on ...

Hi Jim: Very thought provoking. OK I am just gonna put this out there to you and to everyone else... HOW DO YOU CLIMB THE ROPE?? I have struggled with this for decades and I am no closer to finding a solution than when I started. A few concrete (or liquid, hell, I don't care) pointers would be most ...

Hi Van. Yes, I understand this but I am still highly conflicted with the fact that I feel that I have basically accomplished nothing of spiritual value during my stint here... I get the feeling that when the harvest comes, I will be found wanting. Not worried about one of the types who called "...

Hi Jim: OK, so what you are saying is that it is OK to just be me? To not be the guy who spreads it to the world? That would be great if the Master did not basically tell each and everyone of us that an accounting would be required at the harvest. But maybe I am reading it all wrong... (this is a re...

Hi Jim George. Fairly amazing post there... I struggle with how to become a bearer of fruit, you know, someone who has something to show at the time of the harvest. I tried broadcasting seed hither and yon. Did not get one sprout, at least none I saw. Even when I had the occasional chance to plant a...

GOOD MORNING: Certainly one of the things they had in mind was the publication of the very book we all love to discuss. Consider the invisible ground swell of spirituality worldwide because of this humble blue book. The real changes come slowly, too slowly for us for sure! But I think that slowly th...
