the 911 Truth Movement's claim to fame is his popularization of the
brotherhood's holy text  -- supposedly channelled by a member of the
Kellogg family, which had four members enrolled in Skull  Bones fraternity

This is from another list. The book is available on line.
Oh and that Peter below is not me ok.

If you want to get an unexpurgated version of what Jesus really said check
out

http://www.urantia.org/
I have found the writings of the Urantia book to go beyond anything else
I've read. No mortal and especially no reptilian without an emotional body
could have penned such lofty thoughts and ideals or explored and explained
the nature of divinity.  IMHO

 -Caveat Lector-

Dear drbongo,

  I haven't spoken of the antichrist or "antichrists" for that matter.  Yes,
the NWO elitists do view us as "useless eaters" and probably not any more
important than animals.  I don't know who the antichrist is and don't
believe I ever will know ;).  From things I've seen, chemtrails, weather
modification, genetically engineered viruses etc... It's only obvious they
want to kill us off, a large number at least.  The mark will control us as
far as buying and selling according to a source I read rather often :), and
from some other sources I've read it appears it will also control our
travels, pretty much everything...  Has it begun?  It began a long time ago.
Since the fall of Alexander the Great, and even before then. Are they in
government?  Is that a serious question?   Now, off to do some useless
eating...

Jamie

 -Caveat Lector-

dear Jamie,
so the antichrists view us as "useless eaters"? is that like "cattle"?  is
what your saying is that the antichrists view us as no better than animals?
 who are the antichrists?  and do the antichrists want to kill all of us
and what world events indicate this?  will the biochip be used to control
us, and our numbers, and control our travel.  has it begun,  are they in
government today?  shall we know them by their works?

drbongowhy would they want to control us by use of a biochip?

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to
receive a mark of his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could
buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the
number of his name. - Revelation 13:16-17

So they can control the resources, after all according to them, we're
"useless eaters."

   As for this book... Like "kinda" said, most Christians won't go near it
and they don't need to... I have no desire to read something that goes into
the life of Jesus and eternal life when I've got THE source already... The
Bible.  Whatever this book is, whatever insights it may claim to have, I'm
sure the Bible covers it ALL already.

chime in here and say that I believe that the mindset most prone to picking

that has been cultivated by a healthy respect for one's own intellectual

To me, this means first and foremost, not having committedly discarded a

from told me that i was to get a mysterious phone call which i guess i was
supposed to be amazed or something but seeing that i paid for the book via
check it would have been easy to look up my phone number.  i didnt get the
call anyway.

while buying some other books at the ufo convention this other book seller
told me that i could not get "his" books anywhere else which is nothing but
a lie because you can order any book if you have an isbn number.

i found the whole ufo convention full of con men and liers, trying to dupe

 what about the origins of the book?

Hi there..

Here is an excerpt from some court documents about the origins of the Urantia
Book...

http://www.ubook.org/UBOrigin.html


J.2 HOW WERE THE URANTIA PAPERS MATERIALIZED?
Sources used for this section:
HISTORY OF THE URANTIA MOVEMENT - A short historical narrative was "prepared
by a group of Urantia pioneers, assisted by members of the contact commission
- 1960"
HISTORY OF THE URANTIA MOVEMENT - [Anonymous] "History Two" is an enlarged
version of the above history, and is not dated. The added material includes
writings that are probably from a member of the Contact Commission who also
performed stenographic duties throughout the nearly fifty-year process. [Note
#4]
A HISTORICITY OF THE URANTIA PAPERS - Written by the only living colleague of
the Chicago Physician. A video taped interview with this colleague was also
used.
A recently discovered cassette tape commentary on the origins of the Urantia
Papers by a member of the Contact Commission.
The appendix of Mind at Mischief, published in 1929. This book was written by
the doctor involved in the case.

It is certain that no mortal being knows, or ever knew, the complete story of
how the Urantia Papers came to be. We do know that circa 1911, a prominent
Chicago physician, psychiatrist, and debunker of psychic phenomena began
treating a case of psychic activities that he was unable to explain. His
involvement, bafflement, and intellectual struggle with these activities
culminated in the publication of The Urantia Book in 1955. The identity of
the patient will never be known.

Some confusion exists about how the text of the Urantia Papers was
materialized - it was a different process than the early activities of the
contact personality. These early activities seemed - at first - typical of
"channeling" activities. The patient spoke while in a trance. He also
produced what were apparently "automatic" writings. Yet, there is no record -
whatever - of any individual having seen him write. In fact, "History Two"
states that: "During those early years, all of our observations and
investigations utterly failed to reveal the . . . technique of reducing the
messages to writing."

Perhaps the most baffling thing about the early messages that were produced
by the Contact Personality was their astounding content. The doctor involved
could not explain the unique material, nor how the patient seemed to be able
to produce it. The physician retained scientific objectivity, and was
especially skeptical in the early years of the process. History Two states:
"Those of us who early attended the nocturnal vigils never suspected that we
were in contact with anything supernatural."

Eventually, the doctor provisionally accepted the validity of the material
that was being recorded. His unqualified conviction developed over many
years, and was based upon the quality of the content of the Urantia Papers -
and the precise philosophic consistency of the complex and voluminous
material - not upon the puzzling and unexplained technique by which the
Papers were materialized. Throughout his life, the doctor urged others to
study and evaluate the Urantia Papers solely upon their content - not upon
any phenomena that may have been associated with their appearance.

The doctor, in the appendix of his 1929 book, describes the material as ". .
. essentially Christian, and is, on the whole, entirely harmonious with the
known scientific facts and truths of this age." He also stated that:
"Eighteen years of study and careful investigation have failed to reveal the
psychic origin of these messages. . . Its philosophic content is quite new,
and we have been unable to find where very much of it has ever found human
expression."

A CLEAR LINE OF DEMARCATION
It is important to establish a distinction between the early communications
and the remarkable events that eventually produced the actual text of the
Urantia Papers. After the Forum [originally 30 people] was brought into the
process [circa 1924], they submitted questions to the "celestial beings"
through the Contact Commission. According to the histories, the answers to
the questions were written out - it was never understood precisely how - and
formed a kind of first working draft for the Urantia Papers. The written
materials were subsequently typed, the typed papers verified, and finally,
the original written material destroyed. Eventually the typed copies were
also destroyed, per instructions by the Revelators.

It is clear that all of the text of the Urantia Papers was materialized in
written form. The puzzling aspects of how this was done completely baffled
the doctor and several other experts in psychic phenomena who were called in.
In addition, at some point handwriting experts were asked to examine the
written material. They verified that the handwritten material was not the
patient's

The vast majority of christians will not go near this book, so how can they

the NSA.  You are way off base with your implant theory.  Don't confuse the

Hi Jerry

I have been a reader of the Urantia Book for almost 3 years.  I read it
almost daily.  It is a most remarkable book.  Sitchin has stumbled onto some
of the information that the Urantia Book speaks of, but as far as I know
Sitchin is not a reader.  I heard that he does know of the Urantia book tho.
Some of Sitchin's material contradicts the Urantia Book, but if Sitchin were
to read it, I think he would be upset by the fact that he would have to
rewrite or rethink some of his theories.

The Urantia book is very difficult to read..especially the forward..just skip
that, the rest of the book isn't as difficult.  My mindset is very open..that

You feel like you are standing on top of the highest mountain and seeing

The URANTIA Book -  A Description






The URANTIA Book is a unique publication of epochal significance to the
people of our planet, Urantia. It contains 2,097 pages, and is divided into
four parts. It tells about Deity, the organization and administration of
universes and the relation of the planet on which we live to the universe, of
the genesis and destiny of man and his relation to God, and of the teachings
of Jesus Christ. It speaks to man's deep spiritual yearnings and satisfies
the intellect, fully harmonizing religion, philosophy, and today's science
through the fostering of individual spiritual growth and an understanding of
the universe which are commensurate with man's intellectual and cultural
development. It opens new vistas of time and eternity, new concepts of man's
ever ascending adventure of finding God the Father. This book of 196 papers
gives a new, comprehensive, organized record of man's origin, history and
destiny.


Part I The Central and Superuniverse

These thirty one papers depict the nature of Deity, the reality of Paradise,
the organization and working of the central and superuniverses, the
personalities of the grand universe, and the high destiny of evolutionary
mortals. They were sponsored, formulated, and put into English by a
commission of twenty four spiritual administrators acting in accordance with
a mandate issued by high deity authorities (the Ancients of Days) directing
that they do this on Urantia in the year A.D. 1934.


Part II The Local Universe

A local universe is the handiwork of a Creator Son of the Paradise order of
Michael. It comprises one hundred constellations, each embracing one hundred
systems of inhabited worlds. Each system will eventually contain
approximately one thousand inhabited spheres. Our world, Urantia, belongs to
a local universe whose sovereign is Michael, the Son of God and the Son of
Man, known on this world as Jesus of Nazareth. In the central universe the
Universal Father (God) is personally present; in the universes and planets of
space our Father is being represented by his Sovereign Sons, while he is
intimately present in the minds of his mortal children through his indwelling
spirit, The Thought Adjusters. The twenty five papers comprising Part II tell
the story of man's ascension career following his initial life on the
evolutionary planet.

Part III The History of Urantia

Around 1,000,000,000 years ago Urantia had attained approximately its present
size. At this time it was placed upon the physical registries of our local
universe, Nebadon, and given its name, Urantia. (Page 660, Par. 3) The sixty
three papers comprising this section relate the history of our planet, the
geologic development, the establishment of life, and the evolution and
history of man, evolving civilizations, human institutions and governments.
Here also are discussed the Trinity concept, the evolution of religion, the
indwelling spirit of God (the Thought Adjuster), personality survival, the
bestowals of Christ Michael. "Urantia is the sentimental shrine of all
Nebadon, the chief of ten million inhabited worlds, the mortal home of Christ
Michael...And your record tells the truth when it says that this same Jesus
has promised some time to return to the world of his terminal bestowal, the
World of the Cross." (Page 1319, Par. 1)


Part IV The Life and Teachings of Jesus

These seventy seven papers give a year by year account of the life and
teachings of the Son of Man, his childhood, youth, and early travels, his
personal and public ministry, the choosing and training of the twelve
apostles, his trial, death, and resurrection. This biography of Jesus
occupies the last third of The URANTIA Book. The first three sections of the
book constitute an informing introduction, a universe backdrop, for the
enthralling drama of this human divine life of Jesus on our planet. The
presentation, therefore, of the picture of this matchless life in its cosmic
frame is rightly the climax, the fitting conclusion of the URANTIA
revelation. Jesus' life and precepts, in their original form, unencumbered by
tradition and dogma, are by far the greatest possible help that mortal man
can have in his age long climb to Paradise. "The great hope of Urantia lies
in the possibility of a new revelation of Jesus with a new and enlarged
presentation of his saving message which would spiritually unite in loving
service the numerous families of his present day professed followers." (Page

Kinda,
I do not believe in gods, I believe in actions. Actions spawn life and death,
sorrow and joy.  The devil is a lie of men. There is no war of gods. There is
ONE GOD.

There is much in history, unknown and distant in the mists of time. Have you
read Cayce?

Express yourself.

Hi

I have to agree with you that no..you don't need all of it's "flowery" talk
to
understand cause and affect. But I for one am thrilled to have finally found
the details about God and Jesus and everything else the book covers. I have
wondered about this stuff my whole life. Some of the science it contains is
outdated, but as far as the history..I haven't run across too many errors.
Remember the part about the Fandors? the big birds that flew some of the
primative natives around during the time of adam and eve..well..a few years
ago Dan Rather on the CBS evening news..told america that some scientists had
uncovered the fossils of a bird with a 500 ft. wing span. Supposedly these
fandors were able to "talk"..we have birds that talk today..they are called
parrots.

I am really not trying to shove this down anyone's throat, although it may
seem that way to some. For me this book has been the key to understanding the
motives and strange happenings that are going on within our government and
elsewhere..there is even a bigger picture than what the conspiracies uncover.
After a while..after many readings of the UB..there exists..between the lines
of this fascinating book..little gems that have been a great aid in
desciphering the mysteries that seem to surround us.

I would like to ask you MHO..what you thought of the paper on our fallen
Planetary Prince..Caligastia?..did you believe it? Well..you know I
do..hehe..I have come to the conclusion that it is this same fallen planetary
prince (aka the devil) that is the mastermind behind the NWO. It is
Caligastia's plan to stop evolution and free will choices in it's tracks.
Cal's goal is to become god of Urantia.  And you know what that means..the
celestials will not stand idly by while evolution or free will is tampered
with.

I sound like a nut..i know..oh well..I am having a blast. :)

 Kinda, I first ran into the  Urantia Book about thirty years ago. I have a
  copy. I have read through much of it. It was a channled book. If you care
to
  live you life by it , fine. Presonally. I do not believe it to be a
 salvation
  revalation. Ya really do not need all its flowery talk to understand how
one
  actions affect your world.
  And I would question much of the history in the Urantia Book.

  Jesus had the KISS principle down. Treat others as you would treat
yourself
  and love God with all you heart and soul.  Pretty simple and
straightforward.

The media has temporarily turned its large but constantly blinking eye
away from cult-of-the-day reportage after the Waco conflagration, but
such organizations continue to collect adherents. Martin Gardner, best
known as mathematical-games-meister for Scientific American, turns his
refreshingly unblinking gaze on the origin and continuing growth of the
Urantian cult, whose members believe they are receiving corrigenda to
the Bible from celestial beings. A marvellous study of the ways in which
the zaniest ideas can be propagated through society.
From Booklist , April 1, 1995
The Urantia Book is at the center of one of the more interesting
esoteric American sects in a century full to bursting with them. As
such, it was bound to attract premier debunker Gardner's attention.
Gardner begins by regrettably briefly recapitulating the book itself and
 summarizing the history of the Urantians' connections with Sister Ellen
White and the Seventh-Day Adventists and other fin de sie{…}cle
religionists, and he closes with a panorama of the present state of the
Urantia movement and its reforms and schisms. But Gardner uses the core
of his text to establish, by textual analysis and other tools, Dr.
William Sadler as The Urantia Book's main, if not sole, author. Whether
he succeeds in this endeavor each reader will decide individually; his
case is certainly remarkably compelling. There are a few flaws, for the
sheer weight of facts unearthed by his research sometimes overpowers the
thread of his argument. And sometimes Gardner allows himself to wax
sarcastic at an especially egregious example of inanity. But then, who
wouldn't? Dennis Winters

Martin Gardner, one of America's most acclaimed science writers, has
here compiled the first complete history of a growing, modern religious
cult. Gardner traces the cult's beginnings back to its "bible," The
Urantia Book, a book supposedly revealed solely by celestial beings to
correct the flaws in the traditional Bible. Published in 1955 under the
direction of cult leader Dr. William Sadler, The Urantia Book (Urantia
is the cult's name for the earth) is the largest work ever said to have
been channeled by unseen higher beings through human contacts. It
differs from earlier channeled "bibles" in that it contains a vast
amount of modern science as well as a detailed biography of Jesus
Christ, complete with facts not found in the Gospels. As a result, many
scientists and scholars are dedicated Urantians. In addition to
discussing the beliefs of the Urantia cult, Gardner reveals two major
developments that threaten to splinter the movement. The first is a
sectarian rift that has split the movement into two major competing
factions. The second is the growing belief of hundreds of Urantians that
they, too, are receiving their own messages from the celestials, who
they claim are preparing Urantia for a new revelation intended to usher
in a utopia of
