The Adventure of Being Human

o To amplify the core spiritual teachings of The Urantia Book, a purported revelatory text first published in 1955. The lengthy Urantia Revelation has quietly sold over one million copies worldwide and is now translated into 12 languages. It provides a new cosmology for our age, and also offers a 700+ page biography of Jesus that is claimed to be based on the angelic record of his life on earth. o To not only introduce the Urantia Book’s controversial depiction of Christ, but also to acquaint readers for the very first time with his “divine feminine” counterpart, whose existence is one of the supreme revelations of the Urantia text. She is affectionately known to us as “Mother Spirit.”

Thus, in practice, there are actually two deity-personalities who offer us their divine wisdom in The Adventure of Being Human. Again, they are known as “Mother Spirit” and as “Christ Michael” (or “Michael”), who is known to history as the human Jesus Christ. As taught in the Urantia text, Michael and Mother Spirit are our “universe parents”-in fact, Mother Spirit can be thought of as the heavenly consort and the co-equal deity-partner of Michael. Michael and Mother Spirit also maintain, by virtue of their divine omniscience, loving and intimate contact with their sons and daughters.

The Adventure of Being Human and the Urantia Revelation

The Adventure of Being Human also introduces the unique Urantian cosmology, teachings that greatly augment our understanding of ethics, health, happiness, love, service, forgiveness, mercy, friendship, marriage, and spirituality-topics that Michael and Mother Spirit further discuss with elegance, as well as the new revelatory phenomenon known as the Teaching Mission, of which this work is a small part. A personal prologue as well as an Afterword written by the transmitter-receiver of these unique teachings, Jerry Lane, is included. The book is edited by Byron Belitsos, who is the award-winning publisher of Origin Press, the leading publisher of books about the Urantia Revelation. The entirety of raw transcripts of these transmissions is available online. A glossary of terms and other background material is provided at the end of the volume.
