How are you not embarrassed to support such racist drivel?

 

It supports racial diversity positively, while emphasizing spiritual equality across the board.

What's the matter with that?

It's just a matter of adjusting one's thinking about it.

The relevant thing about Thought Adusters is that everyone is indwelt by one. However diverse we are as individuals, either by race, by intellectual capacity, by spiritual aptitude, and so on, it makes us all equal.

This whole concept takes away from true human potential. Making us little more than puppets who can't think for ourselves and also takes away free will.

Humans have marvelous spiritual and thinking potential and need nothing to adjust anything.

Seriously dude, you've got to be freaking kidding me. If you think that's not racist you've got issues.

"Thought Adjusters" special x-mas offer: get 2 brain washings for the price of one.

Thought Adjusters never think for us. They hold our sovereign free will as being paramount. They only guide us and help us to adjust. But only in accordance to our choices.

Everyone is adjusting their thinking all the time. It's what makes us alive as human beings. And we're never alone. But we're the captain.

Racism is the state of mind that says if you think you're superior to others, you have the right to oppress them.

The UB does not support this.

Eventhough it points out the racial differences between us, it emphasizes the brotherhood of all mankind and how that's due to the fatherhood of God.

That contradicts itself.  How does something guide you according to your choices? 

This along with the "doing God's Will" concept in the Urantia Book is just a rehash of the "Will of the gods'" concept. 

Which Sadler projected on Shintoism in the Urantia Book and isn't our belief.

Apparently a thought adjuster is just a self-regulating mental construct. Basically a servitor programmed for a basic task of maintaining the urantia brainwashing/indoctrination.

For the record, all the evidence points to Sadler NOT being the author of the Urantia Book. However compelling it is to believe otherwise.

Sadler was a respected debunker of paranormal phenomenon. A skeptic of spiritual mediumship. A medical doctor and psychiatrist who doubted everything.

I've always found it it humorous that he ended up being perhaps the main catalyst in the publication of the Urantia Book. In a way, it kind of emphasizes its validity, having an opponent end up being its proponent.

Who would listen? People for the most part and not all of them simply do not want to think for themselves. So we are relegated to correcting people. And I'm getting tired of doing it. Apparently you really can't fix stupid.

The manner of how our thoughts are being adjusted are identical.

The racial element is not involved at all and in the confines of this blog Piney, isn't that highly relevant?

 

 

 

 

Thank you. 

 

Every mortal who is consciously or unconsciously following the leading of his indwelling Adjuster is living in accordance with the will of God.

 

Can you really realize the true significance of the Adjuster’s indwelling? Do you really fathom what it means to have an absolute fragment of the absolute and infinite Deity, the Universal Father, indwelling and fusing with your finite mortal natures? When mortal man fuses with an actual fragment of the existential Cause of the total cosmos, no limit can ever be placed upon the destiny of such an unprecedented and unimaginable partnership. In eternity, man will be discovering not only the infinity of the objective Deity but also the unending potentiality of the subjective fragment of this same God. Always will the Adjuster be revealing to the mortal personality the wonder of God, and never can this supernal revelation come to an end, for the Adjuster is of God and as God to mortal man.

 

Origin and Nature of Thought Adjusters

 

 

Will Dud, there is not an absolute and infinite deity that guides and influence our actions. Yes there have been people throughout mans history who had philosophies that have been important in setting guidelines and social norms to attain a path that will lead to true enlightenment. Jesus was certainly one of them, however, he was no more important than Buddha or many others.

These people were not Gods, they were however, very wise human beings who could envision a path that any human could follow to attain an enlightened life if they were to follow the path to achieve it. The problem that has occurred during mans history is that many are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to walk these chosen paths. 

Every human being no matter their race or culture has had individuals who found a path to enlightenment. Today in most cultures humans have been elevated these people to the status of an omnipotent being ( a God ). This is where religion came from and in the minds of the founding humans, they were never meant to be labeled as a religious deity. Their only goal was to show man that true enlightenment is within each of us. Their only mission was to create a path to achieve it.

So before anyone can obtain an enlightened life, they must realize that the path is open and by looking within ones self anyone can find enlightenment and true peace.

Peace

Do people have different skull shapes? The UB simply points out this fact. Not that it is something to oppress people about.

Before Nazi Germany did what it did, eugenics was simply the idea that we can do things to improve people biologically. Today this is still persued. Like with eliminating disease.

Keep in mind that starting in the 1910's Sadler was being exposed to ideas I believe came from his experience with his patient who was the catalyst for those communications that resulted later in the publication of the Urantia Book. 

In my opinion, those ideas influenced what he wrote about as the author of several books. There are links to some of those books on his Wikipedia profile.

Sadler did not write the Urantia Book. Neither is the text of the UB the words of Sadler's patient copied down.

Very well said. All of that is exactly what the UB says. Except it adds this:

Every human being is equally capable of achieving enlightenment like those who are revered today as prophets. In fact, it lays out how normal and universal it is. 

In so doing, it emphasizes that everyone is special while no one is special.

So prove he didn't.

There is ample evidence that Sadler did not author the Urantia Book. There has been a lot of research into the authorship and by far the preponderance of the evidence indicates Sadler is not the author.

The references in the UB regarding the racial and biological differences between people are there simply for that, a reference. It promotes tolerance towards all. Especially regarding race and the inate abilities of individuals regarding inteligence and spiritual capacity. It makes comments about primitive people in the past who we look down upon from our vantage point in the present as being in many ways superior to those who are considered advanced today.

The Urantia Book does not support racism. Neither does it support religious intolerance. It does not promote intolerance of any kind except towards the doing of what a person inherently knows is wrong to do in the first place, but does it anyways deliberately.

So your defending out of date "racial intellectual differences", 19th century racist pre-Adamite theories and all out attacks on people of African descent? 

Your said it all. Your dismissed now. Anything else from you will be deleted.......

You are mixing 2 things up here, unconsciously or not, resulting into a serious insight into the UB`s nazi mission. There is the term eugenics, which you mentioned, and there is the term ethnology, which should had used related to the skull shape matter. The Nazis used ethnological knowledge (e.g. about skull shapes and the allocation to specific human races) to the benefit of their eugenic targets. In plain language: to kick individuals out of the genetic pool by sterilization or murder to fulfill the targets of "Rassenhygiene". As the UB was written in the 1950s, when genetic engineering did not existed, any idea and or any attempt to optimize a populations genetic conditions would had included the thought about sterilization at least. And thats quite nazi.

This is an argument without substance because new medical treatments have nothing to do with eugenics.

The papers that were published in 1955 as the Urantia Book were written in 1934-35.

The authors of the Urantia Book do not promote the killing of anyone. Nor keeping someone out of the gene pool.

The term 'eugenics' is used in the UB as a reference to improving peoples lives biologically. Not to eliminate them before they have an opportunity to be alive.
