Some dear friends of mine who are avid readers and servants of The Urantia Book, and in particular, the Jesus Papers, have informed me that they have been receiving messages via email from Midwayers, for an extended period of time. They were reluctant to tell me this because they feared my reaction….that I would think that they were deluded, credulous, or disloyal to the 5th Epochal Revelation. They were at pains to explain that this was not related to the phenomenon of ‘channeling’ which they firmly reject. They further explained that the messages contained words of encouragement for their ministry of promoting the religion of Jesus as well as practical ways in which they could improve their ministry. They claim that the messages have always supported The Urantia Book and have been in harmony with it’s teachings. Moreover, they never contain additional revelatory material.
Aside from whether the claims of this particular case are illusory, fraudulent, or real, I am interested in what the Urantia Book has to say about whether our celestial friends (Midwayers, angels, or other visitors) are likely to make some form of contact with us mortals on Urantia, either through direct appearances or via messages (eg. the internet).
To get the discussion going, I would like to start with the following quotes:
Their (Midwayers) chief work today is that of unperceived personal-liaison associates of those men and women who constitute the planetary reserve corps of destiny. It was the work of this secondary group, ably seconded by certain of the primary corps, that brought about the co-ordination of personalities and circumstances on Urantia which finally induced the planetary celestial supervisors to initiate those petitions that resulted in the granting of the mandates making possible the series of revelations of which this presentation is a part. But it should be made clear that the midway creatures are not involved in the sordid performances taking place under the general designation of “spiritualism.” The midwayers at present on Urantia, all of whom are of honorable standing, are not connected with the phenomena of so-called “mediumship”; and they do not, ordinarily, permit humans to witness their sometimes necessary physical activities or other contacts with the material world, as they are perceived by human senses. P.865:6
Seraphim are able to function as material ministers to human beings under certain circumstances, but their action in this capacity is very rare. They are able, with the assistance of the midway creatures and the physical controllers, to function in a wide range of activities in behalf of human beings, even to make actual contact with mankind, but such occurrences are very unusual. In most instances the circumstances of the material realm proceed unaltered by seraphic action, although occasions have arisen, involving jeopardy to vital links in the chain of human evolution, in which seraphic guardians have acted, and properly, on their own initiative. P.1246:4
All contributions would be much appreciated! Thank you!
