Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book

Q: In every relegion, it is assumed that GOD is in the sky. Whenever believers refer GOD, they point at the sky, Stories of each religion tells that GOD will come from sky to solve our problems. GOD used to come to this earth in our ancient stories in this manner. Now my question is, could GOD could be some ET (extra terrestrial) having more IQ than human on earth, who used to visit earth often in earlier days?.
Hence, whether GOD or ET ?

A: Thank you for your question to Truthbook.com -- we're pleased you discovered our site, a site that focuses on the teachings of The Urantia Book. Your question is not an uncommon one from those who are searching for meaning.

As students of this marvelous book we believe, we're assured, that the universe is filled with intelligent life, the vast majority of it being considerably more intelligent than we human beings. Yet, even so, seldom is there ever contact with those superior physical or spirit beings -- life on this world, as on all others, is designed to develop independently of external influence -- that's why God put it all in motion.

So yes, there are more ET's out there than can be imagined, but no, we don't have contact with them except in a very few rare instances. We have learned from The Urantia Book that beginning about 500,000 years ago the primitive humans of this world did have contact with superior physical and spiritual beings -- we received a planetary prince, a spirit being who was to oversee the continuing evolution and development of the human races, and he and his physical staff did so according to plan for nearly 300,000 years. You can read about (and listen too) the Planetary Prince here. Then, about 200,000 years ago, due to the Lucifer Rebellion, the Planetary Prince defaulted in this mission and was lost to the evolving civilizations, giving rise to many myths, fairy tales, folklore and legends that continue to this day. A little less than 40,000 years ago we received a pair of biologic uplifters, Adam and Eve, whose purpose was to improve human genetics and whose mission was to have continued on for eons into the future, failed after a couple of hundred years, also due to the effects of the Lucifer Rebellion and also giving rise to more of the myths and legends we still encounter. About 4,000 years ago we received another celestial visitor, Machiventa Melchizedek, whose material visitation with Abraham of about 100 years duration is briefly mentioned in the Old Testament and a few other writings. Then 2,000 years ago Jesus was born here, a true celestial visitation that changed the course of world history, as did the previous 3 visitations to a lesser degree. You can read (and listen to) the life and teachings of Jesus, a captivating year by year recitation, beginning here.

God does exist "out there" -- God also exists "in here," inside of you. Partly because of the myths and legends we think mainly of God being "out there" and are prone to substitute ETs for the true and living God the Father. We're a confused and misguided world and the search for truth is a difficult one that is disregarded by so many. God is the first source and center of all things, including all those intelligent ETs -- we just seek to try to make sense of it all and to get our facts straightened out.

How did you get your information? That is, about Jesus, God, Yahweh , Melchizedek, etc.

Q: I am quite intrigued about your facts about Jesus. I have been searching for the life style of Jesus before he started his ministry. But I have a question: How did you get your information? That is, about Jesus, God, Yahweh , Melchizedek, etc.

A: Thank you for your note and we're glad to hear that you're intrigued by the material we offer about Jesus. May I suggest that the more you read and know and understand the life and teachings of Jesus the more real he will become and the stronger the connection you will experience. You can begin the story as it is related in The Urantia Book from our site HERE where you can also listen to the text as you read along.

To understand how this information has become available you have to have an understanding of The Urantia Book; the recounting of Jesus' life and teachings is but one of the four parts that comprise this masterful book, first printed in 1955. The purpose of the book is not only to lift Jesus' life and teachings up from the Christian dogma that has surrounded it for the past 2,000 years but also to place it in context with the most recent revelation of spiritual truth to our world, the Urantia revelation, which is sometimes described as a handbook for acquiring cosmic citizenry.

We have a number of study aids available on our site to help with understanding The Urantia Book -- if you'll view our home page at www.truthbook.com in the blue links section at the left side you'll see "Jesus and The Urantia Book," "Urantia Book Video," "Answers to Life's Toughest Questions," "How The Urantia Book Changed My Life," "Spiritual Studies," and "FAQ" -- each of these sections will each provide a wealth of information about the book and about some of the people who study it. As informative and interesting as these materials are however, nothing substitutes for reading the book for oneself and making a personal decision regarding its authenticity, truth content, and value.

May I also recommend that if you're not already signed up that you consider subscribing to the Quote of the Day.

Best wishes in your search and please feel free to write any time.

How can you know whether you are just human or if you are a divinely bestowed personality?

Q: With such a focus on bestowal missions in TUB, how can you know whether you are just human or if you are a divinely bestowed personality?

A: Are you thinking that maybe because of the focus more people will be claiming to be divine? That's possible -- because of TUB more people are claiming to have special connections to spirit beings since any time that attention is given to something out of the ordinary people with unstable tendencies rush to use it to their advantage. We all like to think we're special -- and we are, but not in a worldly fashion and it's the worldly that exerts such a strong pull on the ego.

Divinely bestowed personalities know who they are -- Caligastia, Adam and Eve, Melchizedek, Jesus. They understood where they'd come from and what it was they intended to do while here so there was no doubt in their minds. Jesus, as a child, faced some confusion, but as he grew up and matured the knowledge came back to him. So, if you're a divinely bestowed personality you know your past and your future. If you're a self-deluding person you'll make yourself believe there's something divine and extra special about you, but deep down you'll know it's a deception.

It's my guess that there are no divinely bestowed personalities in human form on the planet at this time and that there won't be any for some time to come. We're pretty much left to our own devices by deity since it's important that we evolve naturally and solve our own problems. But at some point we'll have evolved to the point where we're ready for a new teacher and one will come. However, TUB has been here for 50 years and is still unknown -- it's going to take a while for it to have its intended effect and we'll need to absorb the fifth in order to be ready for something additional.
