As I tried to scratch the surface a bit approximately two months ago in this post, for this late night I decided that it is time to write another post on the Urantia Book as well as a handy visual summary by Hara Davis which further helps what I like to call the positive occult student into grasping more and more knowledge from the book.

My hardcover copy of the Urantia Book, back cover. Here it is stated that there over 750,000 copies of the book in print worldwide. That's quite amazing compared to the Christian Bible's over 5 billion copies (according to Wikipedia). The Christian Bible sells more than 100 million print copies annually.
Since I did not want to get lot on the way during the time spent reading the book proper, I also bought an alternative visual aid summary book by Hara Davis. I skimmed through it a little bit from March this year up to the present day and I can definitely deem it very useful to me

For those who don't know as of yet, the Urantia Book is a somewhat rare and very intriguing spiritual book claiming to detail the origins of life on Earth as well as mankind's relationship to its creators. A must read for any truth seeker out there. And since I myself have been quite a truth seeker throughout my upbringing well into young adulthood, I was granted by the providence with this book at what I perceive as being the end of one of my many spiritual quests.
That being said, I have to mention that the first time I got to know about the Urantia Book was through Weather Report's 'Havona', which is a reference to the name of the central universe in the Urantia Book. The book claims that the name of planet Earth is in fact Urantia which is a very interesting take on things.
Previously, through my other spiritual quests I knew the fact that it was also referred to as 'Gaia' (mostly) or 'Sophia' (by some channellers and highly spiritual people). As there are various school of thoughts while spirituality is concerned, there is no doubt that opinions are divided and that, as paradoxically as it might seem to some people, we may even talk of alternative truths, competing truths, or parallel truths which are all part of the bigger picture. I for one always wanted to see the bigger picture, hence that's exactly why I purchased the Urantia Book during March 2021.
Given that human beings have been quite confused or even amnesic for a long time with respect to their divine origin, the Urantia Book came in through various sessions of channellings during the early 20th century. For this HIVE post, which will be brief for a start, I won't delve that much into the rather mysterious (yet ultimately real and truthful) conception of the Urantia Book. What I will try to do to the best of my capabilities is to compile information for me and other people in order to finish part of our spiritual quest here on Earth.
That is exactly why I decided to share a crash course by a great American Youtuber explaining the large Urantia Book in 15 minutes! Amazing work by Faith Evolved:
The Urantia Book resonates with me on multiple levels and while I have just barely skimmed through it lately (due to a lack of time given mostly my work-based responsibilities and the raging COVID-19 pandemic), I have an exploratory grasp on what it entails and that's very good for a start.
Furthermore, several of my musical heroes (in addition to mighty Jaco Pastorius), including most notably Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead or Kerry Livgren of Kansas learned from the Urantia Book and brought it with them on many locations throughout their personal and professional lives. With that in mind, having these legendary musical figures which I always looked up to associated with the book naturally made me prone to becoming an adept of its teachings as well.
The Urantia Foundation is the main body of study and propagation of the teachings entailed within the Urantia Book worldwide. Here's one of their official videos on what the Urantia Book is all about:
P.S.: I had a gut feeling Pleiadians must be involved here as well, at least that's what I read in a written account on the internet by someone who has gone through the Urantia Book in its entirety while I was still away in Aalborg, Denmark as a bachelor student at Aalborg Universitet (AAU). This resonated well with me as well.
