Urantia Speaks

This summary episode is a compilation of quotes and narratives of Jesus' teachings on love and truth. “Peace be upon you. That which my Father sent me into the world to establish belongs not to a race, a nation, nor to a special group of teachers or preachers. This gospel of the kingdom belongs to both Jew and gentile, to rich and poor, to free and bond, to male and female, even to the little children. And you are all to proclaim this gospel of love and truth by the lives which you live in the flesh. You shall love one another with a new and startling affection, even as I have loved you. You will serve mankind with a new and amazing devotion, even as I have served you. And when men see you so love them, and when they behold how fervently you serve them, they will perceive that you have become faith-fellows of the kingdom of heaven, and they will follow after the Spirit of Truth which they see in your lives, to the finding of eternal salvation.” (2044.3) [191:6.2] “. . . Devote your life to proving that love is the greatest thing in the world. It is the love of God that impels men to seek salvation. Love is the ancestor of all spiritual goodness, the essence of the true and the beautiful.” (2047.5) [192:2.1] Urantia Speaks is a virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived and will be available until 1/2020; All Love Offerings, and Contributions are most appreciated: @ nadi-om.com or nadum.podbean.com /archive site.

“Jesus enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of mortal existence, but he never religiously doubted the certainty of God’s watchcare and guidance. His faith was the outgrowth of the insight born of the activity of the divine presence, his indwelling Adjuster. His faith was neither traditional nor merely intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.” (2087.1) [196:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“Paradise values of eternity and infinity, of truth, beauty, and goodness, are concealed within the facts of the phenomena of the universes of time and space. But it requires the eye of faith in a spirit-born mortal to detect and discern these spiritual values. The realities and values of spiritual progress are not a “psychologic projection”—a mere glorified daydream of the material mind. Such things are the spiritual forecasts of the indwelling Adjuster, the spirit of God living in the mind of man. And let not your dabblings with the faintly glimpsed findings of “relativity” disturb your concepts of the eternity and infinity of God. And in all your solicitation concerning the necessity for self-expression do not make the mistake of failing to provide for Adjuster-expression, the manifestation of your real and better self.” (2078.7-8) [195:7.4-5] Part 2 Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The results of Peter’s preaching on the day of Pentecost were such as to decide the future policies, and to determine the plans, of the majority of the apostles in their efforts to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom. Peter was the real founder of the Christian church; Paul carried the Christian message to the gentiles, and the Greek believers carried it to the whole Roman Empire.”(2069.1) [195:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“About one o’clock, as the one hundred and twenty believers were engaged in prayer, they all became aware of a strange presence in the room. At the same time these disciples all became conscious of a new and profound sense of spiritual joy, security, and confidence. This new consciousness of spiritual strength was immediately followed by a strong urge to go out and publicly proclaim the gospel of the kingdom and the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead.” “Peter stood up and declared that this must be the coming of the Spirit of Truth which the Master had promised them and proposed that they go to the temple and begin the proclamation of the good news committed to their hands.” (2059.1-2) [194:0.1-2] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The sixteenth morontia manifestation of Jesus occurred on Friday, May 5, in the courtyard of Nicodemus, about nine o’clock at night. On this evening the Jerusalem believers had made their first attempt to get together since the resurrection. Assembled here at this time were the eleven apostles, the women’s corps and their associates, and about fifty other leading disciples of the Master, including a number of the Greeks.” (2052.1) [193:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“About six o’clock Friday morning, April 21, the morontia Master made his thirteenth appearance, the first in Galilee, to the ten apostles as their boat drew near the shore close to the usual landing place at Bethsaida.” (2045.6) [192:1.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The Master put off the first morontia appearance to the apostles for a number of reasons. First, he wanted them to have time, after they heard of his resurrection, to think well over what he had told them about his death and resurrection when he was still with them in the flesh. The Master wanted Peter to wrestle through with some of his peculiar difficulties before he manifested himself to them all. In the second place, he desired that Thomas should be with them at the time of his first appearance.”  (2038.8) [191:0.13] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The resurrected Jesus now prepares to spend a short period on Urantia for the purpose of experiencing the ascending morontia career of a mortal of the realms. Although this time of the morontia life is to be spent on the world of his mortal incarnation, it will, however, be in all respects the counterpart of the experience of Satania mortals who pass through the progressive morontia life of the seven mansion worlds of Jerusem. "All this power which is inherent in Jesus—the endowment of life—and which enabled him to rise from the dead, is the very gift of eternal life which he bestows upon kingdom believers, and which even now makes certain their resurrection from the bonds of natural death. "The mortals of the realms will arise in the morning of the resurrection with the same type of transition or morontia body that Jesus had when he arose from the tomb on this Sunday morning. These bodies do not have circulating blood, and such beings do not partake of ordinary material food; nevertheless, these morontia forms are real. When the various believers saw Jesus after his resurrection, they really saw him . . .” (2029.1-3) [190:0.1-3] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“Soon after the burial of Jesus . . . the chief of the archangels of Nebadon, then present on Urantia, summoned his council of the resurrection of sleeping will creatures and entered upon the consideration of a possible technique for the restoration of Jesus. These assembled sons of the local universe, the creatures of Michael, did this on their own responsibility; . . . they . . . arrived at the conclusion that the creature could do nothing to facilitate the resurrection of the Creator. . . . Gabriel, . . . instructed them that, since Michael had “laid down his life of his own free will, he also had power to take it up again in accordance with his own determination.” Shortly after the adjournment of this council of the archangels, the Life Carriers, and their various associates in the work of creature rehabilitation and morontia creation, the Personalized Adjuster of Jesus, being in personal command of the assembled celestial hosts then on Urantia, spoke these words . . . : “Not one of you can do aught to assist your Creator-father in the return to life. As a mortal of the realm he has experienced mortal death; as the Sovereign of a universe he still lives. That which you observe is the mortal transit of Jesus of Nazareth from life in the flesh to life in the morontia. The spirit transit of this Jesus was completed at the time I separated myself from his personality and became your temporary director. Your Creator-father has elected to pass through the whole of the experience of his mortal creatures, from birth on the material worlds, on through natural death and the resurrection of the morontia, into the status of true spirit existence. A certain phase of this experience you are about to observe, but you may not participate in it. Those things which you ordinarily do for the creature, you may not do for the Creator. A Creator Son has within himself the power to bestow himself in the likeness of any of his created sons; he has within himself the power to lay down his observable life and to take it up again; and he has this power because of the direct command of the Paradise Father, and I know whereof I speak.” (2020.1-2) [189:0.1-2] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The day and a half that Jesus’ mortal body lay in the tomb of Joseph, the period between his death on the cross and his resurrection, is a chapter in the earth career of Michael which is little known to us. We can narrate the burial of the Son of Man and put in this record the events associated with his resurrection, but we cannot supply much information of an authentic nature about what really transpired during this epoch of about thirty-six hours, from three o’clock Friday afternoon to three o’clock Sunday morning.” (2012.1) [188:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“What Jesus is now about to do, submit to death on the cross, he does of his own free will. In foretelling this experience, he said: “The Father loves and sustains me because I am willing to lay down my life. But I will take it up again. No one takes my life away from me—I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up. I have received such a commandment from my Father.” (2004.3) [187:0.3] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“It was about half past eight o’clock this Friday morning when the hearing of Jesus before Pilate was ended and the Master was placed in the custody of the Roman soldiers who were to crucify him.” (1997.4) [186:1.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“Shortly after six o’clock on this Friday morning, April 7, A.D. 30, Jesus was brought before Pilate, the Roman procurator who governed Judea, Samaria, and Idumea . . . The Master was taken into the presence of the Roman governor by the temple guards, bound, and was accompanied by about fifty of his accusers, including the Sanhedrist court (principally Sadduceans), Judas Iscariot, and the high priest, Caiaphas, and by the Apostle John.” (1987.1) [185:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“Representatives of Annas had secretly instructed the captain of the Roman soldiers to bring Jesus immediately to the palace of Annas after he had been arrested. The former high priest desired to maintain his prestige as the chief ecclesiastical authority of the Jews. He also had another purpose in detaining Jesus at his house for several hours, and that was to allow time for legally calling together the court of the Sanhedrin.” (1978.1) [184:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“Though Jesus knew that the plan for his death had its origin in the councils of the rulers of the Jews, he was also aware that all such nefarious schemes had the full approval of Lucifer, Satan, and Caligastia. And he well knew that these rebels of the realms would also be pleased to see all of the apostles destroyed with him.” (1971.4) [183:0.4] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“It was about ten o’clock this Thursday night when Jesus led the eleven apostles from the home of Elijah and Mary Mark on their way back to the Gethsemane camp. Ever since that day in the hills, John Mark had made it his business to keep a watchful eye on Jesus. . . . And John Mark remained so near the Master throughout this night and the next day that he witnessed everything and overheard much of what the Master said from this time on to the hour of the crucifixion.” (1963.1) [182:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com

“The apostles were . . . entirely at a loss to understand the Master’s announcement that they would celebrate the Passover one day early. They thought, at least some of them did, that he knew he would be placed under arrest before the time of the Passover supper on Friday night and was therefore calling them together for a special supper on this Thursday evening. Others thought that this was merely a special occasion which was to precede the regular Passover celebration.” (1936.2) [179:0.2] Urantia Speaks is a new, original format, and virtual assembly of Urantia Book participates, in a circle of fellowship we are gathered in the deep study of this spiritual revelatory masterpiece, joined in a shared experience of loving ministry, contemplative reciting, and the higher cosmic learning of the sublime teachings of the Urantia Papers, with host Nadi Burton.  Questions-comments: nadi@nadi-om.com~Music/Nadi's Blog on Divine Love: www.nadi-om.com~Visit Facebook/Urantia Speaks for weekly Urantia Book excerpts. All Urantia Speaks episodes are archived @ nadum.podbean.com
