Hello Byron -
Hello Byron -
Yes, we are familiar territory here ;-)
Yes, we are (in) familiar territory here ;-)
It is a misperception that I have argued <u>against</u> formal (exoteric) expressions of an unspeakable inner (esoteric) experience. It would be more accurate to say that I but maintain the primacy of the inner life as the creative source of (all) that which is visibly manifest around us. When persons value sharing that inner life over and above any material artifacts emerging from it, we will be well on our way into the settled culture of “light and life”. Until then, the material inertia of attachment to these ‘artifacts’ offers a necessary evolutionary brake upon progress that is however being lifted much in this time of correction.

Hello Mer -
Good to ‘see’ you in the conversation!
The error in the proverbial ‘hotline’ to God is manifest in every ‘communication’ given the inherent limitations in the use of symbols. This will persist as long as methods of ''indirection'' are relied upon so heavily, especially in worlds lingering in the after effects of isolation. Otherwise, I sense as you do, the unlikelihood of existing Urantia Book organizations taking seriously any semblance of ‘continuing revelation’ since the organizations’ existence relies upon an exclusive focus on a single episode of ‘revelation’.
Gratefully,
