Well... sometimes... it just comes up in conversation and you reference the Urantia book... as revealing this or mentioning that and before you know it the person you're talking to is asking you the name of it again so they can "write-that-down." Face it, after you've actually read the thing several times (for me... it's six) it becomes part of the decor of your mental environment. Just becoming aware of... what more is "out there" allows me to speak in terms of its actual existence... and, I mus' say... has fairly expanded the content of what's potentially, probably and actually in existence for me... for us.
Its plain to me, the only thing holding back larger numbers of people who can say they've read the book is the lack of people having time, interest and tenacity to actually read it in the first place... and are actually telling others about it. Like me! Logical perameters indicate that it's simply a matter of time before people become actually aware of what the Urantia book has to reveal.
Organized religion certainly doesn't want everyone to become aware of what it has to say. For religions' fundamental function in society is merely to bring back the lost into the fold of humanity divinity. Once that's happened there is no need for organized religion. All that's left is belief... and a way of knowingness embossed upon a backdrop of a beautifully present and wonderfully administered stage called The Universe, already upon which, the children of god are creating their habits and hovels, their heavens and their hells as they so deem fit.
Sharing information found within the book can only be passed on when each reader find themselves in conversation with others referring to what has been disclosed regarding the Human psyche, the presence of Angels and the actual history of what this planet has gone through and where we've really been as a human race. There is so much ideational confusion on planet earth sustaining a need to cover up ignorance with pride and prejudice. We are still a very backward people only because we burden ourselves with so much that detracts us from what's meaningful and matters most.
Introducing someone to the Urantia book is a bit tricky because you don't want to alienate them right off the bat, just because it might conflict with the religion of their youth and family. And you don't want to bring someone into "the flock" to simply think like you do. The only "flock" there is, is the sea of human kind and as the founders/writers of the book have agreed and are glad... that no-one's become deified. Those responsible for the creation of the book don't want it to become just another religion, although the information will supplant and superceed them in the not-to-distant future... attracting those that, to them, "life is for living," we really don't know what the bleep is going on, and if someone can show me a better way of living than what's been presented and fostered in the URANTIA book, then show me too please.
Giving people a tour of the Urantia book simply entails being able to relate things that matter today with what things/thoughts reveals about us. The Whole Planet Compassion Act of the 2004 Tsunami, for instance, would certainly be put into perspective when held up to the light of the Mediteranean Incident of long ago. You see, at one point there was a land bridge that connected the bottom of Portugal with the northern tip of Africa. This land bridge was many miles wide at one time. Perhaps they saw it coming cause it kept getting thiner and thiner... or perhaps they didn't. Still, it makes for quite a story when the movie is finally made. The Atlantic ocean was fourteen feet higher than the, then inland, Mediteranean sea. And at the time, there were very many, fine seaports, where a wonderful civilization was humming along and the people thrived.
Then a great and terrible land shift took place, which happens from time to time, and a whole section of land fell into the earth, flooding the inland coastline along the entire perimeter of the Mediteranean. And, when they saw it coming they screamed, "Atlantis!" For the word Atlantis sprang forth as a cry of warning that the waters of the Atlantic were rushing in, which then evolved into a memory of a lost way of life with legends of heros of renown. Still, fading yet into myth and then fairy tales. Everyone began to tell the story of an island in the Atlantic having had incredibly intelligent peoplebeing very advanced in using crystals, light and electricity and such. While all along... the people they were describing were laying at the bottom of the Mediteranean coastal line... under 14 feet of water.
There is beauty, truth and goodness to be found within the pages of the Urantia book. People only need to take a look at the table of contents to get an idea of what's in it.
I always tell people that there are four sections of the book and that one should read it in it's entirety from front to back and to make sure they do so... even should they jump about from chapter to chapter or join a study group which might not be in their personal or same section.
And, for those die hard Harry Potter fans out there, this is definately one of those books Hermione would have found at the Hogwarts Library and considered worth while... if not required reading at the Hogwarts "College" of Wizardry and Witchcraft. For those of you who are die hard bible thumpers... you may be interested to note that the fulfillment of their bible is already in their hands. For those of you who are simply truth seekers, welcome into the fold of humanity where sane and sensible people really and truly do exist.
Introducing the Urantia book is a delightful activity if you set aside some personal time for it at your local library. They have rooms were you can host introductory gatherings to the book and provide a myriad of examples to the truth hungry youth of our times. You can also speak at local Girls and Boys Clubs, and area churches have been know to open their doors to the spiritually thirsty.
All it takes to tell others about the Urantia book is to have read it yourself and then share what you discovered within its pages
And, as you read it, underline in pencil (not pen, it shows through to the other side and makes it harder to read on the other side of the page) the section that impresses you most and then write its subject or topic on a blank page in the back of the book including the page number you found this it on. Put the page number first and then the subject or topic. Oh, also... upon beginning or finishing the book write down the day you actually began or ended the fabulous adventure, or journey, of reading it. Actually write this down in pen or pencil... to hell with ruining its value or not... you have a right to leave your mark too you know. This is one way to remind yourself you've actually read the book. Which is a GREAT feat. Congratulations!
Then when you want to refer to something from your memory you can do so quickly and be able to find and read the actual text. Its fun, and when you've actually read the book a couple of times you'll begin having conversations with Angels and Mom and Pop God. Oh yeah! You'll simply fall in love with humans. Yeah! Really!
