Title: The Urantia Book
Post by: tides2dust on June 18, 2025, 18:31:31
I enjoy reading little blurbs here and there from this book. It's been fun contemplating and feeling the message. I also feel, after some time, the manner in which they articulate and wish to portray is somehow absorbed better in my mind. The more I go back to it, the more I can understand.

I've mentioned this book before, and considering our many discussions and threads on God and the nature of God- I thought I'd post this here- and share little quotes that interest me. Spiritual evolution seems a fitting branch to create this thread.

This is from Paper 105 titled, "Deity and Reality"

A few blurbs that my mind has enjoyed relishing:

QuoteTO EVEN high orders of universe intelligences infinity is only partially comprehensible, and the finality of reality is only relatively understandable. The human mind, as it seeks to penetrate the eternity-mystery of the origin and destiny of all that is called real, may helpfully approach the problem by conceiving eternity-infinity as an almost limitless ellipse which is produced by one absolute cause, and which functions throughout this universal circle of endless diversification, ever seeking some absolute and infinite potential of destiny.

QuoteEver remember that man's comprehension of the Universal Father is a personal experience. God, as your spiritual Father, is comprehensible to you and to all other mortals; but your experiential worshipful concept of the Universal Father must always be less than your philosophic postulate of the infinity of the First Source and Center, the I AM. When we speak of the Father, we mean God as he is understandable by his creatures both high and low, but there is much more of Deity which is not comprehensible to universe creatures. God, your Father and my Father, is that phase of the Infinite which we perceive in our personalities as an actual experiential reality, but the I AM ever remains as our hypothesis of all that we feel is unknowable of the First Source and Center. And even that hypothesis probably falls far short of the unfathomed infinity of original reality.

QuoteThe universe of universes, with its innumerable host of inhabiting personalities, is a vast and complex organism, but the First Source and Center is infinitely more complex than the universes and personalities which have become real in response to his willful mandates. When you stand in awe of the magnitude of the master universe, pause to consider that even this inconceivable creation can be no more than a partial revelation of the Infinite.
