NEW CONCEPTS
The human mind would ordinarily crave to approach the cosmic philosophy portrayed in these revelations by proceeding from the simple and the finite to the complex and the infinite, from human origins to divine destinies. But that path does not lead to spiritual wisdom. (215:2)

The Gaia Hypothesis and
The Urantia Papers - A Convergence?
Since the early part of this century, researchers in that branch of physics known as quantum mechanics have been discovering phenomena that do not fit a materialist-determinist interpretation of their experimental findings...
The Gaia hypothesis, which perceives our planet as a complex self-regulating living organism, has been expanded by many to include galaxies and even the whole universe to the state of being self-sustaining living organisms...

48 Chromosomes? Or Jumping to Conclusions
"Does God exist and what is God like." Perhaps it is not surprising that philosophers and theologians have many times attempted to devise some means that would provide an answer...
The Orvonton life patterns are configured as twelve inheritance carriers. On Urantia, there are forty-eight units of pattern control - trait determiners - in the sex cells of human reproduction. (397)...
In the previous issue of Heijaste a philosophic question was raised: Is there any truth in reincarnation? Let us for a while assume the position of a fellow reader who gives an affirmative answer to that question. He tries desperately to find something in The URANTIA Book that would sustain the doctrine of reincarnation, viz. the doctrine which asserts that man is born again and again into this world...
A publication called Forbidden Archaeology provides Urantia Book readers with an extraordinary listing of forgotten literature references that may throw new light on topics covered in the book...

Over the period in which the Urantia Papers were received and published (1934-1955), the concept of continental drift was held only tenuously, and by very few geologists. This antipathy lasted well into the 1960 period...

The information in the Urantia Papers and the evidence now being pieced together by our scientists, shows the findings of science have increasingly converged with what is stated in the Papers...
Of interest is the fact that the authors of the Urantia Paper have taken, for them, the unusual step of simply stating that our human interpretation of the cause of the red shift is wrong. In relatively few instances have they taken such a step...
Adam and Eve Apart from God, the two most maligned personalities in the history of Urantia would have to be Adam and Eve. The belief in the innate evil of mankind, embraced by the father of psychology Freud, has subsequently been proved wrong...
High on Angels. Do I believe in angels? Well...yes; but why am I so reluctant to say so? Could it be that angels are a little like Tinker Bell? Or perhaps it isn't respectable to believe in such magical beings...
Consistency in The Urantia Book: Personality In The Urantia Book, personality and pattern are so closely linked that it would seem to be valid to assume, on occasion, that personality is pattern rather than personality has pattern. Perhaps that is part of the mystery...
The "E" Word Once we decide to improve our gene pool, how can we convince those who disagree with this concept that it is not just desirable but may be crucial to the survival of civilization on this planet...?
'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.' This axiom of physics has profoundly influenced our view of the physical world. But if, in fact, this is a 'truth' of the universe, then it must be true at all levels of reality. In my attempt to understand the nature of the Supreme, I have found this idea is crucial to grasping how supremacy works, not just in physical manifestations of the Almighty Supreme, but in spirit, mind, and even personality.
Harmony:

(Very) Odd Neighbours. The unusual-neighbors-next-door idea has been the theme of many a movie and TV show. But it would be hard to imagine neighbors as odd as some neighbors mentioned in The Urantia Book..
