Deep trance channeling part the three

The origin of the Urantia Book is most fascinating. I suggest you do some of your own research here.

This is the story as I have come to know it. My apologies for errors or omissions. If anyone has further information, please leave a comment with what you know.

It was decided by a group of teachers in another dimension that a further revelation should be made available to humankind (personalities in the flesh). It is called the fifth epochal revelation as there has been four given previously.

A suitable human subject was found. Apparently to be suitable, the subject's mind must be of a certain make-up to allow the messages to come through.

From what I understand an unidentified man in Chicago began to talk in his sleep. His wife dismissed it as just sleep-talk, but it went on and on night after night. She began to take notice because it appeared a story was being told. She notified certain doctors and interested professional parties. This all took place in the 1920's, and 30's.

They listened and took notes. These notes were eventually collected together, assembled in order and eventually became "The Urantia Papers" and were published as the Urantia Book in 1955.

My personal thoughts on the Urantia Book:

I believe it was a genuine attempt by other dimensional personalities to contact us with helpful information regarding "Life, the Universe and Everything".

Sadly, I believe a lot of the information given was deliberately altered or falsified for various reasons. This would be due to the various beliefs (religious or otherwise) of the human information assemblers. Remember we are talking about people in the early part of the 1900's. In America.

But, there is still some really good stuff here and the book is most definitely worth reading. Keep an open mind. It's a long and detailed read. The story of Jesus especially.

Look out for part 4 next time.

Deep trance channelling Part 2.

Now where were we?...........Oh, yes!... The Urantia Book.

I was in a local town at the time waiting for some photos to be processed. Had to fill in an hour, so went to the library for a browse. As is my usual way I went to the Religion/Philosophy section.

As is often the case; you don't find things, they jump out and find you. There it was, just as if it was the only book in that whole library. I took a brief thumb through, knew I had something very interesting, joined the library, and took the book home.

Once home I had another look through, found the head office phone number for The Urantia Foundation in Chicago inside the front cover. Due to the difference in times I had to wait till the early morning to phone Chicago.

They were very helpful and gave me their office phone number in Sydney. Waited patiently till 9.00 AM and made the call. Yes they could and would supply. The book, a hard back edition was $84.00 Ozzy dollars. Two weeks later I had my own copy.

Two thousand and some pages! Each page packed full of information.

Only one thing to do. Be very systematic. I set about reading a minimum of 2 pages every day.

I finally finished it three years later!

While reading The Urantia Book I did a lot of checking on how it came to be - as you should do. The book is fascinating, but, how it came to be is just as engrossing.

I think you've already guessed - yes - it's got a whole lot to do with deep trance channelling.

What is deep trance channeling?

And what's in it for me (you)?

Deep trance channeling is a situation where the channel (a suitable person who apparently has a slightly different mind construction than an "everyday Joe") enters into a deep trance state, "steps aside" from conscious control, thus allowing other entities to speak through the channel's bodily mechanisms.

Many of you, especially those blinded by structured mainstream religious beliefs, may be extremely skeptical of channeling. May I suggest putting aside a large portion of your skepticism and allowing yourself a closer look. There is lots to learn! Don't keep your mind closed otherwise you may just miss out on some important information pertaining to your existence.

I have been fascinated by what I will call (for lack of a better description) "other dimensional existences" all my life. I first started sitting up straight and paying attention in my teens when I began reading the books by T. Lobsang Rampa. They seemed to have a ring of truth about them, although many claim that they are a work of fiction.

Never mind, my interest was struck, never to go away. Thank you, Tuesday!

I was brought up as a church attending protestant (Church of England). A great believer in the truth of the Bible (both historical and spiritual) and of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Only problem is (for the Church, that is) - I have always had a very open mind, a virtually unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and a great love of reading.

It has always stunned me how few regular church goers and believers have actually read the Holy Bible right through from start to finish. As an experiment, try asking some friends of yours who you know attend church regularly, how often they have read their bible from start to finish - I think you may get a shock.

I first began to question the validity of the bible just by critically reading it. Remember, this is a document that you may well be allowing to control your life! Time to take a very close look at "the small print". Think of the efforts you go to when you are about to sign a very important contract, say for the purchase of a house or business, - you hire a very smart lawyer to check the contract and "the small print" - right?

So - you are just about to base your entire life on some very ancient manuscripts - what to do?

You know what to do - YOU critically read every last word (that includes the historicity and authenticity of what you are reading as well). Yep! It's a BIG project, but. hey, it's also your life - and your responsibility to understand FULLY what you are basing your life and spending your valuable time on.

Before any of you true believers start jumping up and down and getting all irritated. Look up to the top of this site. YES!! It's all about personal empowerment. You - in control of you, and the world around you. The Captain of your ship. You - taking responsibility for YOU (and that includes your beliefs).

If, after you have done as I suggested, and you still have your beliefs - then, for you, they are true, valid and tested beliefs. But, of course, your mind will always remain open to new discoveries and events.

As an empowered person you will always check out everything you are told - you never blindly accept anything you are told by anyone - especially from organizations, groups and governments.

Enough in that direction for now. Back to deep trance channeling!

I first became very interested in the phenomenon of channeled messages after reading a book I originally found in a local library called "The Urantia Book".
