  1. Dear Forum Members and Friends,

    Urantia Association welcomes you to our Forum! We hope you will feel at home here. Please let the Website Management Committee know how the new forum works, or does not work, for you. (Send your comments to Support & Suggestions.)

    This Forum is moderated by a team dedicated to helping participants get the most and best out of it. We will insure that it is a safe and courteous environment for you to feel comfortable expressing your views. One or more moderators will be on hand for advice, to handle reports, and to serve the varied needs of our Urantia Book reader community, and the wider world of truth seekers with whom we’d like to share the book.

    We have a set of Forum rules to insure this forum remains friendly, spiritually fragrant, and focused on issues relating to The Urantia Book and its teachings. The only prohibitions in place are about so called channeling activities (click here to view our Channeling Policy), and of course personal attacks are not permitted. Participants are encouraged to address the issue, and not attack the person if they must express strong objections or criticisms.

    We are particularly interested to know if your mobile devices are compatible with the new program. So come right in, check out the facilities, and join in when and where you like. We are glad you are here! Your presence is valued; it adds to greater diversity and undiscovered potential that will help the Association fulfill its primary two fold mission to facilitate study of The Urantia Book and to spread its teachings.

    Some handy tips:

    • If you want to receive email alerts of posts on any particular forum, click the ‘Subscribe’ link – that’s similar to the old ‘watch forum’ feature.
    • Editor tool bar – if you only have one row of tools on your editor tool bar click the ‘toolbar toggle’ icon to get a second row with more features.
    • If you wish to quote click the “ icon to indent the quote.
    • When copy and pasting from places outside the forum, click the T icon on the tool bar so the text doesn’t come in garbled. Click again to return to normal text.

    Happy posting!

    Sincerely,
    The Website Management Committee

  2. Thank you for this informative, clear and concise statements about the forum. One question is how to address a moderator for additional information?

    Praying for the forward momentum of Brotherhood on our world

  3. Hi Bernie,

    I believe the “SUPPORT AND SUGGESTIONS” sub-Forum is the place to post questions/comments to moderators:

  4. Since my 1st introduction to the UB, I always held true that the hypothetical unified infinity level of reality is a true pre- reality – a valid conceptual truth. Although not an existential – manifested – factualization. A pre-reality truism – but unfactualized. Explains the unmanifested personality of the 1st Source and Center. Thus  Thought-Word-Deed. All else is reasonable and logical. Errors in my thought to actuality of pre-existential and unfactualized reality? Infinity and eternity?

  5. How else could personality transcend all existential things?

    Walk with God. May His Peace be unto you.

  6. Agreed a static moment for successive linear mortal thought – yet, does not negate eternal historical events i.e: Ancient of Days.

    Walk with God. May His Peace be unto you.

  10. I look forward to joining the Urantia Book community. I’m still exploring, but so far, I’m seeing nothing that I can’t deal with. Thanks for the welcome.

  11. Welcome, Chuck!

    I look forward to hearing more from you. I like the ideas you have on a way to systematically study the book.  (#14140)

  12. Hi sisters/brothers,

    It’s been a while (4,5 yrs) the Urantia Forum is a reference. I follow once in a while subjects you have developed among you. So interesting,so colourful. As each of your personalities. It’s been a while i follow course on UBIS and when i need a wide regard on specific subject, it’s a must detour this forum.

    I am from Montreal and it’s been 25+ yrs i was introduced with the 5th epochal revelation. As far as i remembered my ”curiosity” (T/A) drive me through this spiritual pathway where i stand today as 57 years old. Since i encounter UB nothing overclass it. And still today through Truth Spirit again and again didn’t stop to astonish me how accurate, pinpoint human nature.

    Must admit, i get pleasure,satisfaction and expansion mingle with Family.

  13. I am so pleased to meet you André.  Welcome to the forum.

    I look forward to your contributions to our discussions and to hearing your unique voice.  Mingle with us as we explore the depths, the heights and the breadth of the fascinating book we have discovered and share.

  15. Greetings

    Due to time constraints I havent been around for some years, but yesterday, after checking some mail Ive received from Anzura, I thought of popping in just to see how events are unfolding here at this forum. I was pleasantly surprised to notice that Nigel, Bonita and Fan of Van are still arround, and am sure some other oldtimers as well – just didn’t notice yet ?

    Having some extra time on hand I hope to be able to participate in a more constructive way instead of lurking in the shadows.

    Allow me just to add that I thoroughly enjoyed Chuck and Bonitas conversation on how to maximise our study of TUB. Once swallowed up in that thread, I just got carried away enjoying some further thread-hopping. A few pesky questions Ive been stuck with for a while was also answered by the Abiram and Segub thread of Chuck, i.e. what ever happened to a Cosmic Citizen talk show host of some time ago? etc. etc.

    And I decided to re-register :)

  16. Welcome…back!!  Looking forward to hearing your voice again amongst old friends and new!  The adventure continues…..forevermore!

  17. Hi!

    I am a new participant in Arizona.  Just checking to see if I’m really  a part of this forum.  I’ve been having a lot of problems  getting connected.  Over and out.  Fritzi

  18. Welcome Fritzi,

    I am a french reader fr0m Montréal. Been 35 yrs a lector. This virtual platform is a great mode to express your opinion concerning our ideal “… be perfect as our Father is Perfect”.

    Warm regards,

  19. Dear Andre –

    I was hoping to receive a response from someone (although I failed to ask for it) so that I would know that my initial message on this forum was accurately entered, transmitted and received.  I have been reading the Urantia Book on my own since the early 1990s.  I have read it all the way through twice, and due to much underlining and scribbling in the margins, have worn out the original copy and purchased a second.   Throughout this time, I have amassed any number of questions, and also some opinions and ideas which I hope to share with others.  (Gradually, and over time.)  I’ve learned that each discussion with a Urantia person provides considerable food for thought, and that there are sections of the Book that probably require the knowledge of an astrophysicist, but I’m willing to listen to whoever is willing to talk.   Ha!  Am looking forward to the mental challenge of this forum.  My best to you, and everyone!  Fritzi

    Dear FritziGal — personally, I’d love to hear about any astrophysical opinions and ideas.  Please share  :-)

    Welcome the the forum!
