Just the other day, I was trying to find information, hither and yon, across the “internets” regarding the governments in place across the globe beginning at 1837, the Victorian Era and the Industrial Revolution, so I appreciate you sharing this research by Joshua Wilson. Facts are facts especially in the “past”. Interpretations can change, but not the ACTS of fACTS… Is it safe to assume that Melchizedek will be working behind the scenes to structure corrective measures to the “technology” course that we were MUST-ed into in order to have a “job” and a “social rating” in a caste system that is “cosmic insanity” according to the FACTS of the 4 gravity circuits revealed in Paper 12? Isn’t the consistent message of Part III – The History of Urantia about “revealed” knowledge being lost completely….? Is that not a danger again when you get over 17 million google search hits for “bestiality”, or “torture”, or “pedophilia”…? “MUST use the internet” And NOW, aren’t you hearing this more often, “…something WEIRD is going on….”. Indeed 
My time line with the Urantia Book begins in 1991 – read the book twice and seem to have the “time” NOW to do a 3rd read. I am going to go ahead and put in a formal request to the Most Highs for a personnel change in the Mind Gravity “presence”. “Artificial Intelligence”, such as is being “MUST-ed” into existence here in the NURSERY of LIFE is happening NOW only in the outer sector of creation where no life forms exist yet, according to Paper 12. LIFE is the “job” in the Nursery. I can post many current opinions where humanity world-wide is realizing that technology has taken the turn away from LIFE. Hey, anyone can get bored after 500,000 years. And it’s not as if he’s not going out with a bang – he made his point! It IS possible to create so much suffering and misery with electrons (mind circuit deconstruction and disruption of the 7 adjutant spirits) that infants will NEVER have the potential to grow a soul and receive a Thought Adjuster (well, electrons and rape) and people committing suicide in droves rather than let one more piece of their soul potential be choked off…and on and on… So the success Life Carriers had of humans activating all seven mind adjutants BEFORE colored races appeared can be washed away by “MUST use the internet”. Let me know if you want to sign on to the personnel change request I am preparing for the Most Highs Looking forward to Melchizedek saving the Nursery of Life that is Urantia….I doubt Nihilism will be his choice of a philosophy for living…
Stealing someone else’s line here – there is a group who have “deputized” themselves to protect LIFE in the USA calling themselves the “Not F-king Around Coalition”.
I hear you, Brothers. Me, too…
Bradly here: This post reminds me that some among us are ‘half-full’ believers and some are ‘half-empty’ believers. Which is a very important topic of its own to consider. I do wonder how anyone can read the Good News presented so eloquently in the Papers and still display such suspicion and disappointment and consternation and anxiety as the post above exudes. The gift of the UB is specifically to uplift us and deliver hope and trust and assurance of the purpose and powers and the plans of our planetary leaders and of Deity and the Spirit within and describe the destinies of believers and our world in ways we should find inspirational and uplifting and soothing.
Disappointment, fear, anger, blame, anxiety, suspicion, doubt, and similar mind poisons are so very human and so very contrary to the teachings we share here! Who doubts God’s wisdom and power and plan? Who cannot discern the evolutionary triumphs and trajectory of humanity on our world these past million years? Who cannot understand the enormous response of love and care and guidance and support our world and its people have received because of and in response to the rebellion and default that is presented in the UB?
“nameless” claims to be a long time reader….and yet…..what might a new reader think of such opinions and doubts and worries and petitions? “Oh you of little faith….”
Hmmmm……
195:5.12 (2076.3) As you view the world, remember that the black patches of evil which you see are shown against a white background of ultimate good. You do not view merely white patches of good which show up miserably against a black background of evil.
195:5.13 (2076.4) When there is so much good truth to publish and proclaim, why should men dwell so much upon the evil in the world just because it appears to be a fact? The beauties of the spiritual values of truth are more pleasurable and uplifting than is the phenomenon of evil.
Me here: The UB teaches the importance and value of hope and trust! It tells us that uncertainty is the secret of adventure and an inherent function of freewill!! And our disappointments are opportunities for growth and realization if we are not consumed by anxiety and fear!
26:5.3 (291.3) That, then, is the primary or elementary course which confronts the faith-tested and much-traveled pilgrims of space. But long before reaching Havona, these ascendant children of time have learned to feast upon uncertainty, to fatten upon disappointment, to enthuse over apparent defeat, to invigorate in the presence of difficulties, to exhibit indomitable courage in the face of immensity, and to exercise unconquerable faith when confronted with the challenge of the inexplicable. Long since, the battle cry of these pilgrims became: “In liaison with God, nothing—absolutely nothing—is impossible.”
108:6.8 (1194.1) You humans have begun an endless unfolding of an almost infinite panorama, a limitless expanding of never-ending, ever-widening spheres of opportunity for exhilarating service, matchless adventure, sublime uncertainty, and boundless attainment. When the clouds gather overhead, your faith should accept the fact of the presence of the indwelling Adjuster, and thus you should be able to look beyond the mists of mortal uncertainty into the clear shining of the sun of eternal righteousness on the beckoning heights of the mansion worlds of Satania.
111:7.1 (1223.3) Uncertainty with security is the essence of the Paradise adventure—uncertainty in time and in mind, uncertainty as to the events of the unfolding Paradise ascent; security in spirit and in eternity, security in the unqualified trust of the creature son in the divine compassion and infinite love of the Universal Father; uncertainty as an inexperienced citizen of the universe; security as an ascending son in the universe mansions of an all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving Father.
Me here: This is the message of the URANTIA Papers….for those who truly read it and understand its teachings!
Not despair or doubt or anguish…..good grief!!
Rick’s post is an opportunity to consider and to study the universe reality that is God’s “all-powerful, all-wise, and all-loving” affection and care for the children of time….all of us….all the time….everywhere! We are not orphans but are cherished children in the watchful care of the Most Highs and the celestial hosts of Nebadon. Let us rejoice in our blessings and be confident in our destiny and let us share our trust and hope and faith in the truth, beauty, and goodness that surrounds us!
And then, perhaps, we might also consider the importance of our little back-water world to the creator of this world and the local universe in which it resides – Christ Michael!!
119:8.5 (1318.4) The completion of these seven bestowals resulted in the liberation of Michael’s supreme sovereignty and also in the creation of the possibility for the sovereignty of the Supreme in Nebadon. On none of Michael’s bestowals did he reveal God the Supreme, but the sum total of all seven bestowals is a new Nebadon revelation of the Supreme Being.
119:8.6 (1318.5) In the experience of descending from God to man, Michael was concomitantly experiencing the ascent from partiality of manifestability to supremacy of finite action and finality of the liberation of his potential for absonite function. Michael, a Creator Son, is a time-space creator, but Michael, a sevenfold Master Son, is a member of one of the divine corps constituting the Trinity Ultimate.
119:8.7 (1318.6) In passing through the experience of revealing the Seven Master Spirit wills of the Trinity, the Creator Son has passed through the experience of revealing the will of the Supreme. In functioning as a revelator of the will of Supremacy, Michael, together with all other Master Sons, has identified himself eternally with the Supreme. In this universe age he reveals the Supreme and participates in the actualization of the sovereignty of Supremacy. But in the next universe age we believe he will be collaborating with the Supreme Being in the first experiential Trinity for and in the universes of outer space.
119:8.8 (1319.1) Urantia is the sentimental shrine of all Nebadon, the chief of ten million inhabited worlds, the mortal home of Christ Michael, sovereign of all Nebadon, a Melchizedek minister to the realms, a system savior, an Adamic redeemer, a seraphic fellow, an associate of ascending spirits, a morontia progressor, a Son of Man in the likeness of mortal flesh, and the Planetary Prince of Urantia. And your record tells the truth when it says that this same Jesus has promised sometime to return to the world of his terminal bestowal, the World of the Cross.
FEAR NOT!!
