RE: 5 most mysterious books in History
the Urantia Book, i don't think fits on this list, but it it as good as any science fiction that i have read. it has become a religious text among some. check it out if you have a chance. it is a little crazy. it reminds me a little of Sitchin's Sumerian "translations".
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I do not know about the "Urantia" book. I will check it out indeed.
The Zecharia's "translations" I have only seen documentaries about it. I haven't actually read his writings, but I will for sure look into "Urantia"
i have read it before and it has helped me decipher a lot from life.Its a great book,probably the best i have read on religion .I dont view it as fiction since from my background as a religious man,i had some of the concepts written therein in my mind. All i needed was something more solid and i got it
I wasn't denigrating it. It struck me as an extended instruction manual for the soul, in the mode of an instruction manual for an appliance. There is an air of dissociation about it, as though it was not written by a human.
I'm not exactly what you might call a religious man, though I was raised and trained to be a minister till I was 19. I think all religion has an element of unprovability, which while not strictly fiction, is not demonstrable fact that can be integrated seamlessly into our personal experiences without some interpretation. The fact that it does contain obvious wisdom should make it more deserving of scrutiny to be sure that it is in line with a solid, functional understanding of morality.
How many years have you read the urantia and tracked the acheological and science discoveries to verify the information contained therin
I don't have an intense interest in it, but I've been watching it off and on for 15+ years, mainly in the context of archeology. I find that verifying the distant past, and tomes of questionable origin is not what I would call certain. It is, however, useful in context to the extent that it can be verified.
I have been reading The Urantia Book since 1976 if anyone cares to discuss the fifth epochal revelation. It is my favorite book. I have been here two months and never saw anyone mention, Urantia, until I did a search this morning. Apparently some are talking about it. Thanks and have a blessed day.
It has been a while since I've read The Urantia Book, and I am not an adherent to any one book. I do enjoy mining philosophies and ideologies for their useful parts. I found The Urantia Book intriguing. It reminds me of some of the antediluvian histories of Sumer, along with somewhat modern analyses of philosophical, religious, and political development in the progression of the human species. I also enjoyed the story of the per-terrestrial, even pre-milky way galaxy history.
I would need to refresh myself on the fifth epochal revelation. Is there any particular aspect on which you've focused?
The revelation of the Thought Adjuster. Sorry, it took a while to reply.
