Hi Star Collider It was a really good discussion, and I am also no stranger to occasional UB skepticism. For me being a natural skeptic I have one rule: it has to pass intellectual muster in order for me to dedicate my entire life to it. At some point when I did my own research on the so-called disc...

Thank you MaryJo, and I appreciate the quotes you pulled on the subject of like-minded spiritual peoples being brought together. It is a great subject. I will share a brief instance of how I was introduced to the UB. About a year before I was introduced to it, Ione evening while walking at night, it...

If it's not too late, let me add how I think it Seraphic influence takes place on the mortal level. If a person is willfully accepting of spiritual influence, the thought adjuster (spirit fragment) can assist Seraphim in identifying human helpers who become instrumental in moving the will of God for...

A few years ago I read an article proposing a meteor or asteroid might have been behind the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. If true, the Angels who are mentioned in Genesis warning Abraham and his family to flee would have possibly known such destruction was soon to occur. Here is the article: ht...

It is a good article. "random" evolution always seemed a rather unscientific way of looking at life. These new findings indicate planning and organization.

Having just re-read the Paper on the Local System and what life is like on Jerusem (our first residency after we work our way through the initial seven Mansion worlds), here are some really cool quotes that get really specific about the afterlife. 46:2.6 (521.3) Jerusem is indeed a foretaste of para...

It seems to me the Urantia Book provides plenty of clues that could aid us in finding life-bearing worlds. For example, we are told many planets with life forms evolve on satellites (earth-sized moons) of gas giants. Since it is far easier to locate gas giants circling stars, perhaps we could also s...

what i think doesn't matter. I'm not trained. perhaps the chemical release is caused by the spirit activation. How our glands are designed by the Life Carriers is billions of years in advance of what I can possibly imagine or conceive. As the formerly blind man once said, "I have no idea how or...

This is probably common, but sometimes in the morning just before I come out of full sleep I will find myself engaging in meanings and values of things going on in my life, or pondering some experience. Also, sunsets and sunrises are an inspiration and drive me to pray or contemplate the eternal nat...

Great topic. I think the book lays it out pretty well. I did a little more research on the pineal gland and it turns out that all vertebrates appear to have them. I also suspect the seven adjutant mind spirits might also occupy this gland as a reservoir in which they can detect mental activity and s...

I believe it is the pineal gland, which sits in the mid zone of the brain and it also secretes an enzyme-like chemical. I believe this is the "citadel of the brain" and this is where the thought adjust (spirit of God fragment) resides. When we pray or worship this gland actually reacts, re...

THANKS FOV, That link was good reading on the subject ...This is an interesting excerpt. I wonder if he was aware of the UB, he seems to echo some of the same points in the section "The social problems of religion" During the interview, Campbell reveals his views on religious fundamentalis...

Loving it. what about the race theory, is there any evidence to show why there are difference colored races? If you look up race origins on the internet, there is no clear explanation why there are different races, or if there even differences between races.

The gamma ay reference is interesting. Also, I wonder if we knew about the 11 year solar cycle in 1934. I think it was generally accepted by then. Recently though, there was a news story about the discovery of what they think is a hot iron ball at the center of our earth based on sonar and wavelengt...
