Imagine a world that is lit up with the loving intelligence of the Divine. Where spiritual practitioners realize their identity as evolving beings in an evolving kosmos, a kosmos that is teeming with life including all sorts of of celestial beings, angels, seraphim, and extraterrestrials from billions of inhabited worlds like ours. And that these beings love us, communicate with us, and guide us as we grow toward ever-greater expressions of goodness, truth and beauty. Welcome to The Urantia Book, a spiritual revelation that came into being in the early 20th Century and has inspired generations of adherents since. Today Jeff talks with Byron Belitsos, author of the new book, Your Evolving Soul: The Cosmic Spirituality of the Urantia Revelation, about the principles of these deep and beautiful (and controversial!) teachings, and how they can illuminate our spiritual development.
The Urantia Book on Extraterrestrial Civilizations
Humanity Rising with Jim Garrison (Oct 18, 2023) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3kn2JCa61A&t=2765s
In this session, Byron Belitsos will introduce the 2,000-page The Urantia Book (1955), which has sold over a million copies worldwide in all major languages. We will focus especially on its relevance to current world events and its revisioning of cosmology, theology, earth history, and the life of Jesus. The discussion will consider its depiction of the billions of inhabited planets in the “local universe” and beyond, the ongoing contacts of these local worlds with our planet, and the destiny of the human residents of these inhabited worlds in the afterlife. We will also touch upon how the book’s integrative philosophy closely resembles Ken Wilber’s integral theory.

Byron invites Urantia Book readers to step boldly into new religious territory while holding firm the gems of tradition. Steeped in decades of reading the Urantia Book, Byron shares his latest discoveries in bringing the fifth epochal revelation into academia: • Sharing the Urantia revelation at the 2022 conference for the academic study of religion • Should we build on or throw out existing churches?
- Explaining God in a world rife with evil – Theodicy
- Caligastia’s sophisticated subversion of Christian morality
- Stepping outside our communities to serve the entire world
“Understanding the Urantia Book: Interview with Byron Belitsos” (Michael Salla, 2024)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ66cO7Ccdw&t=42s
In the early 2000’s, Belitsos became fascinated with the extraterrestrial contact story of Phillip Krapf, a
Pulitzer Prize-winning editor with the Los Angeles Times. This interview begins with his summary of Krapf’s remarkable story. Belitsos has also been a keen student for over forty years of the Urantia Book, which was first published in 1955. Belitsos has written or edited many books on the Urantia Book, which he asserts contains extraordinary revelatory material that exceeds both the New and Old Testaments in scope and significance. In his first Exopolitics Today interview, Belitsos discusses his academic background and early interest in the Urantia Book, along with his investigation of Krapf’s claims of extraterrestrial contact, and his decision to republish Krapf’s books.
Evolving Souls Interview with Barbara Marx Hubbard (Aug 20, 2017)
(Evolving Souls community, 2017)
This Evolving Souls Zoomcast interview picks up the thread of a newly initiated dialogue between the Urantia community and renowned visionary futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard. This relationship of mutual understanding began at the International Urantia Conference in Denver (July 19-22, 2017), where Barbara gave a remarkable keynote speech. In this plenary talk, Barbara acknowledged the affinities between her views and the teachings of The Urantia Book. In this program, Barbara and Byron discuss the sublime presence of the Divine Feminine—or what Barbara sometimes calls the unified field of evolutionary love. In Urantia cosmology, our Mother’s divine presence and her life force are understood to infuse all forms of cosmic evolution. (Dr. Marc Gafni, Barbara’s thought partner, also appears briefly in this video.)
