More UB-related Books that are Worth Reading 1 Expanding our understanding of The Urantia Book with the works of Byron Belitsos Your Evolving Soul: The Cosmic Spirituality of the Urantia Revelation Sparks of genuine revelation are contained in many religions and esoteric systems. Your Evolving Soul declares that we've been graced with a new revelation for our time: the little-known Urantia Book , which has quietly sold over one million copies in a dozen languages. According to the author of this comparative analysis, the disclosures about self, soul, and spirit in the Urantia Revelation stand alone in their coherence and richness of detail. Your Evolving Soul is the first book to fully explain this advanced teaching for the ordinary reader, offering clarity and inspiration for those on any path. Belitsos compares The Urantia Book 's futuristic teachings about the threefold design of the human self-system to the models of selfhood proposed by many previous thinkers, ranging from from Plato and Saint Augustine to Carl Jung and Ken Wilber. He provides essential context for this discussion by illumining the relationship of the Urantia text to scientific psychology and to the world's religions, with special emphasis on Christianity and Buddhism. Your Evolving Soul also provides an introduction to the cosmology, theology, and philosophy of the Urantia teaching, and reveals its many affinities with contemporary integral theory and modern theology. Through his lucid interpretation of the Urantia Revelation, the author offers a model of the human self and soul to be tested, examined, and compared--not a finished truth to be accepted as doctrine. Readers of this book will discover a plausible hypothesis of how our evolving soul becomes an immortal vehicle of our true identity. They also learn how our soul-making decisions can lead to the development of a creative, loving, unified, and perfected personality, now and into the afterlife.

Truths about Evil, Sin, and the Demonic: Toward an Integral Theodicy for the Twenty-First Century Proponents of the UB are overdue for serious dialogue with the intelligentsia of our society, including the academic community. This introductory anthology builds bridges to these serious thinkers, especially those unfamiliar with The Urantia Book. It is suitable for those with research interests in religious studies, philosophy, theology, history, and general humanities. This anthology provides the highest quality research essays about The Urantia Book (UB) in one standalone introductory volume. Aside from their high quality of writing, these materials have been selected for three reasons: They showcase genuine scholarship and deep research on The Urantia Book These essays bridge to contemporary knowledge outside the UB Each piece is suitable for readers new the Urantia text. Adherents of the UB are long overdue for serious dialogue with the academic community as well as with the intelligentsia of our society, most of whom are unfamiliar with The Urantia Book. In addition to introducing the UB to academics, thought leaders, and cultural influencers, Reason and Revelation is also designed as an introductory textbook for use in university classrooms, especially in fields such as religious studies, philosophy, theology, history, and general humanities. Like the Urantia revelation itself, this anthology is holistic and interdisciplinary. Because no prior knowledge of the UB is required, the book provides a beginner’s orientation. The later sections further introduce UB teachings on more specific topics, building upon this earlier section. Most but not all of these later essays are chosen because they are comparative—they assess the UB’s teachings in relation to the contemporary academic understanding of the chosen topic. Reason and Revelation: Scholarly Essays about The Urantia Book The Problem of Evil and the Predicament of Theodicy As Christians or theists we are moved to share the truth of God’s love for humankind. But how can we speak of such providential care in a world rife with crime, war, racism, genocide, and even ecocide? In response to this predicament, a theodicy proposes a rational “defense” of God’s goodness that offers consolation to victims and hope to all believers. Truths about Evil, Sin, and the Demonic provides a sweeping history of the discipline of theodicy that focuses on its strategic turning points and its possible future. Belitsos argues that, because of the atrocities of the last century and the threat of horrendous evils in the coming century, we need to marshal the most explanatory elements of all previous theodicies and then drive toward an “integrative” model based on a creative synthesis. The author also turns to a modern revelatory source that supports his argument for such a “meta-theodicy.” He concludes by critically engaging with this source and the entire tradition in his call for an apophatically informed integral theodicy. The Center Within: Lessons from the Heart of the Urantia Revelation By Fred Harris & Byron Belitsos Presenting spiritual teachings previously known to few on this planet, this book contains lessons that are based on the legendary 20th-century revelatory document known as The Urantia Book. These exercises bring the Urantia Revelation to life, unveiling for the first time the spiritual essence of this underground masterpiece in a series of practical lessons that simplify and amplify its majestic teachings. This unusual book of celestial wisdom shows that the spiritual path must eventually lead to the divine center within, the indwelling light that corresponds with the transcendent light of God. The 130 lessons restate the original teachings of Jesus—as presented in The Urantia Book—within a startling new cosmological framework. Byron Belitsos is an award-winning book publisher who is also an author, editor, journalist, and educator. His recent most recent book is Your Evolving Soul: The Cosmic Spirituality of the Urantia Revelation (May 2017). Other recent books include The Adventure of Being Human (2012) and Healing a Broken World (2014). He is considered a leading exponent of The Urantia Book, having spoken widely on its teachings in the U.S. and Europe. Byron Belisos Amazon Books

" SomaEnergetics Website The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth This is one delightful book. Beautifully written and researched in the telling of an exciting story about our worldwide friends and neighbors, plants. Below is from Amazon : It takes tremendous biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and thrive while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted ingenious methods of survival. In recent years, scientists have learned about their ability to communicate, recognize their kin and behave socially, hear sounds, morph their bodies to blend into their surroundings, store useful memories that inform their life cycle, and trick animals into behaving to their benefit, to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep immersion into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and awe-inspiring world that challenges our very understanding of agency, consciousness, and intelligence. In looking closely, we see that plants, rather than imitate human intelligence, have perhaps formed a parallel system. What is intelligent life if not a vine that grows leaves to blend into the shrub on which it climbs, a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the beak of its pollinator, a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and make its way toward it? Zoë Schlanger takes us across the globe, digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing entities up close. What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that thrive, adapt, consume, and accommodate simultaneously? More important, what do we owe these life forms once we come to understand their rich and varied abilities? Examining the latest epiphanies in botanical research, Schlanger spotlights the intellectual struggles among the researchers conceiving a wholly new view of their subject, offering a glimpse of a field in turmoil as plant scientists debate the tenets of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is. We need plants to survive. But what do they need us for—if at all? An eye-opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in, this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants—and our own place—in the natural world.

UB-related Books that I Found Worth Reading Expanding our understanding of The Urantia Book The Eden-Atlantis Project: The Archeological Site of Eden and Atlantis in the Eastern Mediterranean Plato's legendary account of a sunken island civilization called Atlantis has fascinated adventurers for centuries. Recent efforts to find Plato's lost island have culminated in two exciting underwater surveys in the Eastern Mediterranean that were staged in 2004 and 2006 both of which uncovered tantalizing evidence that strongly merits additional inquiry. In this color-illustrated book, Commodore Robert S. Bates sifts through the acquired evidence and argues that our search for Atlantis or what some call Eden may now be narrowed to a sunken continent adjacent to Cyprus that geologists located decades ago. The History Channel funded and filmed the second expedition to this site, but you will learn in this book why a third expedition may now be warranted. In recognition of the likely confluence of the two great legends of Atlantis and Eden, Bates calls the ongoing research into this sunken land the Eden-Atlantis Project. This short book offers you a thorough review of the recently obtained archeological evidence pointing to an Eastern Mediterranean location for Eden-Atlantis. It also links these new scientific facts with the historical evidence that a proto-civilization may have preceded the known civilizations of the ancient Near East. [From Amazon] To order this book... To order this book... JOIN THE ADVENTURE Read the book that launched a legendary Atlantis expedition and caused a news sensation around the world (also featured in the Sci-Fi Channel documentary: "Quest for Atlantis: Startling New Secrets," hosted by Natalie Morales). A second expedition may soon witness the filming of the colossal ruins of this once-mighty empire and change history forever. [From Amazon] Discovery of Atlantis: the Startling Case for the Island of Cyprus This book by Robert Sarmast relates to The Urantia Book , although it is only mentioned in the bibliography and not directly referenced. Sarmast's earlier works demonstrate a strong interest in the UB, and although the UB isn't explicitly discussed here, it is implied through images on his website (which is no longer available). Combining the UB's account of the first Garden of Eden with Sarmast's insights suggests that Atlantis was the original Garden's location, situated just west of modern Israel in the Mediterranean and now submerged. It's an engaging read with a persuasive argument. Knowledge from the UB about the first Garden of Eden, along with Sarmast's book, leads to the conclusion that Atlantis was the site of the first Garden, located just west of present-day Israel in the Mediterranean, and now sunk beneath the sea. A good read and compelling argument. The Secret Revelation The Sacred Ten: Book 1: The Quest for Truth & Book 2: Quantum Leaps to Paradise The Secret Revelation challenges this generation of Christians with a hopeful and original interpretation of John’s prophecy based on The Urantia Book . It provides Christian believers with a comprehensive introduction to the Urantia Revelation. The Book of Revelation has sparked debate, confusion, fear, and even armed conflict for two millennia; it is perhaps the most controversial document of all time. Its apocalyptical symbols have inspired countless interpretations and untold mischief throughout the Christian era. Today, this ancient text is very much alive: Based on their reading of it, tens of millions of Christians believe that a dire series of "end-time" events is imminent. But will such things really come to pass? Anyone concerned about the future of our planet and the core teachings of Christianity needs to come to terms with the Book of Revelation. Scholars have speculated that John's original writings were distorted, altered, and added to, and that much was simply lost. The Secret Revelation confirms that finding, corrects errors, and adds vast new insight. Apostle John was forced to write in codes and symbols, but from his celestial abode, he now speaks out once again to reveal what he actually saw and wrote. The Secret Revelation removes the secrecy from the Book of Revelation once and for all, unveiling the sublime grandeur of St. John’s original vision. What was Apostle John’s original vision? Disturbed by the images of impending apocalypse now being broadcast so widely by Christians, author Stella Religa went in search of the truth about biblical end-times prophecy. Using The Urantia Book as a crucial reference and gifted with extensive celestial assistance, Ms. Religa painstakingly reconstructs the Apostle John’s original vision, now buried in the Book of Revelation . She discovers that there will be no Antichrist, no Armageddon, and no "late great planet earth". Instead, you will learn that John's original message, inspired by a great and heavenly vision, was exclusively one of love and mercy, containing gentle but firm warnings to future believers.

Its teachings introduce new truths powerful enough to uplift and advance human understanding and belief for the next millennium. One third of The Urantia Book is dedicated to the inspiring story of Jesus’ entire life and a revelation of his original teachings. This comprehensive narrative covers his birth, childhood, teenage years, adult travels and adventures, public ministry, crucifixion, and 19 resurrection appearances. This inspiring account redefines Jesus from the central figure of Christianity into a guide for seekers of all faiths and backgrounds. HOW TO READ THE URANTIA BOOK 1. Since the book's depth and detailed descriptions can be overwhelming, especially at first, it's recommended not to start from the beginning. Instead, revisit it after exploring some other papers to build understanding gradually. This approach helps prevent discouragement while encouraging engagement as your comprehension grows. Many readers and my advice suggest beginning with Part IV, The Life and Teachings of Jesus . Therefore... 2. Recall a Jesus story from the Bible , possibly one from Sunday School, and find it in Part IV. Examples include the water turning into wine, the feeding of the 5000, the crucifixion and resurrection, the Last Supper, or the Sermon on the Mount. Reading these helps familiarize you with the language and details. 3. Reflect on what you've read—consider how it compares or contrasts with the Bible . Why might it differ? How did it make you feel? 4. Keep an open mind, seeking Truth in what you read and understand. The universe contains far more than we have been told. The Urantia Book will expand your understanding. 5. After exploring some papers in Part IV, you may choose to read the whole section. As you do, you'll encounter references to other ideas in the book. This will guide your next steps. Some start directly with Part I, jumping in without feeling overwhelmed; take your time. Alternatively, you might begin with Part III, The History of Urantia, before moving to Part I. Consider finding a friend to read with or joining a study group. Many have shared copies of the book, and discussing ideas together can be enriching. Study groups are also available online via the two organizations mentioned below. Abundant resources are available online, including full-text (downloadable or online), audio recordings, and MP3 files—examples include urantia.org and truthbook.com. Amazon also offers related books. Key stories include the miracle of turning water into wine (UB Paper 137, section 4), the feeding of the 5000 (UB Paper 152), Jesus' crucifixion (UB Paper 187), resurrection (UB Paper 189), the Last Supper (UB Paper 179), and the Sermon on the Mount (UB Paper 140).

It includes background on life evolution, local universe administration, and a compelling vision of human destiny. Part 3: The History of Urantia (Our Planet Earth) This detailed history of our world includes the geological and biological evolution, a new perspective on evolution and creationism, and a history of human cultural, religious, and spiritual development. It revitalizes the archetypal stories of Judeo-Christian religion, including the rebellion of Lucifer, the story of Adam and Eve, the visit of Melchizedek to Abraham, and much more. Part 4: The Life and Teachings of Jesus The Urantia Book contains the most spiritually compelling story of Jesus anywhere in print. It provides a detailed narrative of Jesus' entire life, including the so-called "missing years," his discourses, parables, significant life events, crucifixion, and resurrection. The life and teachings of Jesus are supplemented by an extensive spiritual cosmology provided in the first three sections of The Urantia Book . Cartoon by Ray Miller

New Investigations of Matter, Mind, & Spirit Plasma: the 4th material of nature Quantum Physics and our conscious New! Another Piece of the Puzzle.pdf by Chris Maurus A New Science of Heaven: How the new science of plasma physics is shedding light on spiritual experience "The story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it. Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma Plasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place. Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple)." What about plasma? A recent speculations of the nature of the Kordylewski Clouds The New Science of Heaven was fun to read. You can skip the math parts without fear. Plasa is everywhere; it is the fourth stage of matter after solids, liquids, and gases. Lighting is plasma, as is neon lighting, solar flares, and on and on. But does it have intelligence? Read the book and see what science is thinking. Over the last several years, a plethora of books on quantum physics or quantum energy, and its connection to consciousness have been written and published. I have read most of them.* There is one that I think cuts across much of the discussion and goes to the heart of the controversy. It is a book called Irreducible by Federico Faggin. * (None of them tackle the subject of Personality, as Donna D'Ingillo points out, nor aspects of the Soul, or what might happen next, assuming that energy cannot be destroyed, only changed.) Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature "Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality." Below is a essay I wrote on the book, which makes it easier for a quick understanding. Irreducible.pdf The Urantia Book and Quantum Physics The Urantia Book has quite a lot to say about quantum energy and so on. We live in a quantum reality. All things are connected at all levels of reality. The four essays below were written after reading many other books and perspectives on the subject of quantumm physics and consciousness. They are subtltled: (1) The Forward (refers to The Forward of The Urantia Book ); (2) Matter and Energy; (3) Mind Systems; and (4) Consciousness.
