Dear Friends,

Many of you know of the recent document "Solving the Disunity of the Urantia Revelation” attributed to an anonymous source and distributed by Nick Scalzo of Clinton, CT. I am in the process of formatting it in the wiki, and you can view its present form at this link. I would request your own comments in writing to be included in the discussion page. Likewise,would you be willing to invite a larger number of individuals whose comments might be solicited as well by the Editorial Advisory Board itself?

Looking forward,

Hello Nick -

As I have uploaded the document re: Solving the Disunity of the Urantia Revelation… in a publicly accessible online reference work, I wanted to verify that indeed, the last few lines in which your contact information is found is what you want to be affixed to the document as it is featured here.

I am soliciting comments from individuals I know who are serious students of The Urantia Book even if a majority are not affiliated with the organizations referenced. Their comments will be included in the document’s discussion page Naturally, if you wish for your comments to be added, let me know.

Gratefully,

Rob, Please leave my contact information affixed to the treatise on "Solving the Disunity of the Urantia Revelation." It is there as it should be for those of spiritual insight who have finished reading it should they have question that I can answer.

Please distribute it to all who would benefit from it by any and all means that you can.

Please ask them to contact each one of the three organizations with their cry for unity as the treatise suggests even though they may not be members or supporters.

Let the UF, TUBF and UAI know that if they should ever become one in unity that will attract the non-affiliates to their doors.

May God bless you in your efforts in seeking truth, unity and the Revelator's mandates.

I am with you in Service to Michael in accordance with the Father's Will.

Warmest regards,

Nicholas Scalzo (860) 669-4900

Hello Nick -

Thank you for confirming the inclusion of your contact information at the end of the document. We’ll see what thoughts emerge, and I will include as many as I can to demonstrate the range of thinking in readers of The Urantia Book at this time. No doubt, for those who can see, the hand of our Father is shaping a new world in and through his children. How wonderful to be alive in Him!

Gratefully,

Thank You Rob and Marty. The openness, transparency and humanness approach is refreshing. Can anything on this material plane really be personal? I liked the way Jesus dealt with it all. He was only interested and focused on Our Father's Truth and allowed the human propensity for right and wrong to disappear as the illusion it was.

We are hereby informed of the errors of our Urantia Foundation and Urantia Brotherhood and their failure to engage the mandates given to them upon the publication of the Urantia Book in 1955. The joy that we all have in the light of this Epochal Revelation is now shadowed by the default of our mission to prepare the infrastructure for worldwide readiness for the transformation of the religious life on this world.

The scheduled time is now arriving wherein our world's spiritual development is in need of the corrections that are presented by the Urantia Revelation. It is time to bring Light and Life to this world of rebellion and confusion. It is time for the epochal transformation of the spiritual life of our world; The very purpose of the FER. It is also given that an Avonal Son is due to arrive here at such a time as this, but we have not made the preparations.

Now we are given a chance to correct our mistaken efforts. It is the job of our Foundation, Fellowship, and UAI to follow the instructions given in the treatise below.

Although this is not our personal responsibility as readers, It is our responsibility as members and as recipients of their ministry to provide them with support and to assist them in the needed correction.

Our Sonship that comes with our indwelling Father Fragments, with The Spirit of Truth and the ministry of our Divine Mother, give us great spiritual capabilities which we can manifest collectively by the unification of our intentions and the union of our TAs.

Let us come together in support of the officers of the Urantia Foundation and of the Fellowship to assist them in the correction of this default. We are told that the solution to this problem is simple. However it will require a full-hearted decision by each and all of us to abandon our characteristic political viewpoints, argumentative or competitive tendencies, and fears, so that we can come together in unity of intention in the love of God to fulfill the mandates given by the revelators. This will require a very great personal effort by one and all of us who have been raised and trained in competitive self-service.

In prayer and supplication let us conjoin, sharing our intention to correct the default of our movement. Let us ask the chief of Thought Adjusters who served Michael of Nebadon as Jesus and who also served Machiventa Melchizedek, to help in our collective effort to bring our officers and trustees together in unity. Let it be so.

Thank you for sharing Marty!

After spending some time reading this document, it is apparent to me that the thought expressed is one wholly occupied with visible and material means rather than the one invisible and spiritual end that is the essence of life. I am reminded that any visible organization cannot handicap the progress of the invisible and spiritual brotherhood that is the kingdom of heaven. It is this spiritual reality that is becoming a living organism in contrast to any institutionalized social organization, and while it may be well to utilize such social organizations, the spiritual cannot be supplanted by them.

Rob,

I am addressing the failure of the contact commission/Urantia Foundation, Urantia Brotherhood Corporation, and we, the first generation of readers to carry out the mandates given to us in 1955. People are questioning the source and validity of this notice of default but I do not doubt its true meaning for us as workers for the FER who should be carrying out the mandated establishment of this infrastructure for the transformation of the Urantian spiritual experience, initiated by this epochal revelation.

I do not believe that there is anything in existence in the entire master universe that does not have spiritual meaning. Social institutions, every one of them, are spiritual organisms that have a life of mortal souls in collective endeavor. Indeed, that is the the very substance of the living spiritual brotherhood of the Sonship.

My question is, "What are we to do about the accomplishment of these designated mandates"? Unlike the default of Adam and Eve, we still can correct the errors of our default. There is still a little time left for us to work on this problem. I have already recommended that we join our TAs in cooperative conjoint consultation with their chief to help us stir up our administrators in the Foundation and the Fellowship. It would probably be a good idea for us all personally to make contact with these officers to ask that they make the effort to accomplish the required task.

With the help of our Planetary Prince, the ministry of the Angels, the hierarchy of Heaven, and the United Midwayers of Urantia, we readers of the Book can still get this job done in preparation for the coming of our Avonal Son.

In the joy of Sonship,

Marty

Thanks again for sharing Marty!

I appreciate your efforts, and while I concur with the document as it pertains to the material endeavor of book publishing, I cannot but observe the thrust of the document focused upon the construction of ‘a’ religion with details as to how it should be made. Here I remain as an observer of the chameleon like changes in the material forms attempting expression of a spiritual content that is eternal. While it may be that the religion about the Urantia Book is an evolutionary step forward, it remains a second hand religion. Alas, religions are not made. The religions of human construction grow up over long periods of time while the revelations of God flash upon earth in the lives of those who reveal God to their fellows. And just as those who heard these words uttered by Jesus did not comprehend them then, neither it seems do those who read these words today.

Looking forward,

Rob
