Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book

A: I think creative thinking is a nice way of putting it. The Urantia Book is rich in new concepts, vivid stories, spiritual and religious revelation which stir, stimulate and excite its readers in profound new ways. Individuals who already have a somewhat tenuous grasp on reality can easily be carried away by their contact with this material since its very design is to expand thinking and enlarge concepts of reality. Individuals who are already psychically sensitive can readily be stirred to flights of greater psychic fantasy as well -- often including the terminology and concepts unique to The Urantia Book in their adventures which give the impression of being factually based in the new reality revealed by the book. This occurs despite warnings against such self-deception provided by the book, an example being here (110:5.5).

Life on this world is challenge enough for those endowed with good heredity, a good mind and emotional stability, provisions that should be available to everyone on a normal world, which we are not. Additional problems arise from self-inflicted abuses, such as with drugs and alcohol that can cause irreparable damage to an otherwise normal person's perceptions. There's little wonder that so much confusion exists among us.

Historically psychic activity has proven to be so unreliable, even though it can stir awe and the emotions, that for the sincerely truth-discerning all psychic claims should simply be summarily rejected; psychic experiences may be meaningful to the person having them but that meaning is of little value to someone else. When genuine contact is made with genuine spirit beings it will occur in such undeniable fashion that it can't be dismissed by cautions against the experiences of the psychic realm.
