For many years this website has been unused except for that as a test site; it has been neglected of offering any material for consumption for a myriad of good and valid reasons. This renaissance of sorts is intended to focus on my nearly fifty-year study of The URANTIA Book. The idea of a "Fourth Wave" is an outcome of reflecting on the supernal revelations the book exposes. For me it reveals epochal insights of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness. For example, we are informed by a Melchizedek that "... Mortal existence must be visualized as consisting in the intriguing and fascinating experience of the realization of the reality of the meeting of the human upreach and the divine and saving downreach." 102:6.10 (1125.5) This particular ...
The URANTIA Book is an anthology of 196 papers that has no human composer. However, it was published in 1955 by humans who provided feedback to the celestial authors between 1921 and 1942 to earlier drafts. I have no doubt it constitutes the most recent epochal revelation to this planet; it is unique among epochal revelations in that it is the joint creation of spiritual and material beings. Epochal revelations are reported to be derlivered solely by celestial personalities. The revelators tell us ...
The last eleven words in the final paper of The URANTIA Book is "the Father idea is still the highest human concept of God." 196:3.35 (2097.3). The apparent boldness of that statement after reading and studying the sublime concepts the fifth epochal revelation delivers to anyone willing to cultivate qualities of courageous and independent cosmic thinking almost seems like an affront of one's innate capabilities. But if you think about it ...
The Supreme Being is an entirely new cosmically oriented concept that the authors of The URANTIA Book reveal to us. They have told us about a finite, evolutionary, experiential, eternal God who does not equate to God the Father as conventional usage dictates, but is the maximum finite knowing of God we will have until we progress much further in the universe of universes. The authors of The URANTIA Book have woven the Supreme ...
Lovelock's GAIA hypothesis, now an acceptable scientific theory, sets the stage, I believe, for a full-blown study of the Life Carriers as revealed in the URANTIA Book. (Actually the story of the Life Carriers informed me to do a full-blown study of Lovelock's GAIA hypothesis!). If you click on the "More" button, I open a modal that is a response to a critique of a fellow UB student and colleague who said I am "misled" and that “atheistic implications seem to permeate the theory.”
The URANTIA Book's Adam & Eve story affords: 1) For UB students, an authoritative rendition of how thirty seven thousand years ago from 1935 “Adam’s contribution to the biologic status of the races, notwithstanding the partial failure of the undertaking, enormously upstepped the people of URANTIA” [78:1.1 (868.3)]; 2) for secular scientists and agnostics a basis for further predictions, avenues of study, and progressive hypotheses/theories, and 3) for atheists, materialists, and natural philosophers, a reflective constellation of facts and insights to render a palpable consideration of their belief of the apparent implausibility any relationship between science and religion.
This is a decades-old paper I wrote for a summer study session in Chicago in 2010. Worship has a rich formulation in The URANTIA Book. This paper explores the enhanced and augmented revelation found throughout The URANTIA Book papers which leavens beyond that which is conventionally and traditionally considered worship.
The following diagram will be followed with textual detail. For now, the depiction of how life has been established and evolved on URANTIA is a thing of exquisite cosmic beauty.
The presentation of the master seraphim in Paper 114 of the URANTIA Book, appears to be "new" epochal revelation. That is, a heretofore unknown disclosure of an order of angels that provide special overarching service to an evolving planet exist. The master seraphim are resident on URANTIA working to assist the spiritual administration of the planet. They work entirely in the background as "ideational clearinghouses, mind focalizers, and project promoters" to promote the progressive growth of society and civilization. Read my paper published in the summer Herald of 2014 to gain an appreciation of how we humans might work with them.
At some intellectual inflection point in my study of the URANTIA Papers, specifically those that define the process by which God (actually, the I AM) has structured the master universe, it occured to me that a "holarchy" is a more appropriate depiction of how He organizes His universe. The pervasive characteristic of hierarchies is the paradox of the terms ‘part’ and ‘whole’. But, wholes and parts in an absolute sense just plainly do not exist, neither in living organisms nor in social organizations. What actually exists are sub-wholes which simultaneously display characteristics of both wholes and parts. Managing performance in the knowledge driven organization will require the understanding of “holarchy” (Koestler 1989). I wrote about this in 1998 in the World Business Academy journal.

It is an entirely independent project intended to promote and encourage the process of imagination, innovation, and creativity that will be a pervasive and enduring theme throughout the next thousand years of life on our planet.
