I think this is quite amazing. ChatGpt seems to be a great tool to explore the relative meaning of concepts set forth in TUB and its general content. I’m curious about any experience of other members with querying ChatGpt about TUB. Do you think it’s a usefull tool? Can you get it to generate an inc...

ChatGpt, the large language model (LLM) based chat-bot by OpenAi (https://chat.openai.com) that recently astonished the artificial intelligence world (and in fact the whole world) with its natural language processing capabilities, knows The Urantia Book. Below is a li...

… I'm not certain we can ever possess existential goodness as a personal experience. Existential goodness is something that belongs to the Father, which is why we are incapable of true goodness without him. Perhaps after fusion mortals can share something of the Father's existential goodness, but a...

Thanks Agon D. Onter and Rexford. That makes sense. :) We seem to converge here on a common view of 'goodness' as portrayed in TUB. I now think that 56:10.12 can/must be read as follows: "Goodness [in mortal experience] is the mental recognition of the relative values of the diverse levels of [...

… We grow in our ability to discover and recognize goodness as we grow in divinity status. … Yes. Our ability to recognize goodness is relative and progressive and personal (132:2.7) but that does not mean goodness itself is relative and progressive. Our perception/recognition of good and evil is r...

My conception of the relativity of goodness is similar to the relativity of truth (and probably of beauty as well). If truth is relative, then goodness must be relative also. They are not entirely separable, as far as I understand it. Hm, as I understand 56:10.12, the values of the diverse levels o...

… Goodness is the mental recognition of the relative values of the diverse levels of divine perfection. 56:10:12 Divine perfection has diverse levels and our recognition of the value of these levels is relative. Does that mean that goodness, like truth, is also relative? In other words, is my perce...

By the way, I mentioned TUB’s notion that "gravity always acts preferentially in the plane perpendicular to the mass" to you here: Relativity and TUB . Again, this ultimately means that your consciousness can be understood as a periodic (discrete) sample or projection in three dimensions o...

MannyC - Repeating the same nonsense over and over is pointless and annoying and not in the interest of the forum. You don't help other readers or promote TUB in any way, on the contrary, I think you may confuse and deter new readers with your absurd claims regarding the science in the book. If this...

It seems to me that if we accept the Urantia Book for what it is, an Epochal Revelation which reveals the truth, then we can comfortably take the quotes from the Urantia Book provided by Louis above as the direction our understanding of physical reality should go. Yes. And apart from the quotes pro...

Whatever makes you happy, MannyC. Apparently, the forum has become a place where any discussion of revelation in the context of world history and actual social/political developments will be locked, whereas this totally unintelligible and obviously unsupported nonsense regarding (physical) reality i...

Well, religious living should basically be simple, don’t you think? Simply love your neighbor as you may love yourself. The golden rule! Then all else will more or less take care of itself..
