| Urantia Book Questions??? Answers. Hello all! I would invite anyone who has a question about The Urantia Book to go to urantia.org. You can read the book online for free. The UB is 2097 pgs. and certainly worth studing the rest of your life. I personally found papers 108-112 the most helpful in understanding a least a fragment of what our little life is all about here... First I would advise to read pg. 26 sect. 4. THE MYSTERY OF GOD.then skip to the papers above. It is ultimately your choice, please do not think of this book as "just another book" because it is not. Take it as it comes. It is most definateley life changing. pg.26....
"""The infinity of the perfection of God is such that it eternally constitutes him mystery. And the greatest of all the unfathomable mysteries of God is the phenomenon of the divine indwelling of mortal minds. The manner in which the Universal Father sojourns with the creatures of time is the most profound of all universe mysteries; the divine presence in the mind of man is the mystery of mysteries.
"The physical bodies of mortals are "the temples of God." Notwithstanding that the Soverign Creator Sons come near the creatures of their inhabited worlds and "draw all men to themselves"; though they "stand at the door" of conciousness "and knock" and delight to come in to all who will "open the doors of their hearts"; although there does exist this intimate personal communion between the Creator Sons and their mortal creatures, nevertheless, mortal men have something from God himself which actuallly dwells within them; their bodies are the temples thereof.
"When you are through down here, when your course has been run in temporary form on earth, when your trial trip in the flesh is finished, when the dust that composes the mortal tabernacle "returns to the earth whence it came"; then, it is revealed, the indwelling "Spirit shall return to God who gave it." There sojourns within each moral being of this planet a fragment of God, a part and parcel of divinity. It is not yet yours by right of possession, but it is designedly intended to be one with you if you survive the mortal existence."""
It actually makes sense. I often pondered, how can God be in communion with SOOOO many individuals. The fragment of his prepersonal self makes sense. This indwelling spirit is called the Thought Adjuster. It is constantly ministering to us, unconciously, and conciously. It is also working with an inummerable host of divine personalities "angels" guiding us throughout or lives. I would advise all to at least give this book a skim...if you are ready...
Have a great night everyone!
