7 November, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (6), Understanding God

In this class, Dr. Keislar reads some descriptions of God as presented in The Urantia Book by a “Divine Counselor”, a personality who has “long resided at the Paradise center of all things.”

Dr. Keislar explains that this book uses the term “Universal Father” for Allah only to reveal the affectionate relationship between Allah and his creatures like that of a father and son, NOT because God begets children like a human father — a gross misunderstanding present among ignorant Christians in Arabia at the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) which is the reason the Quran stresses, “Allah does not beget!”. (To clarify this Dr. Keislar replaces “the Universal Father” with “Allah” when reading The Urantia Book.)

This Divine Counselor says that the truth about Allah “had begun to dawn upon mankind when the prophet said: ‘You, God, are alone; there is none beside you. You have created the heaven and the heaven of heavens, with all their hosts; you preserve and control them….'” He then explains that only the concept of Allah, “one God in the place of many gods — enabled mortal man to comprehend God as divine creator and infinite controller.”

All planets in the universe were created as places for intelligent life. As The Urantia Book states, “The myriads of planetary systems were all made to be eventually inhabited by many different types of intelligent creatures, beings who could know God, receive the divine affection, and love him in return.”

Dr. Keislar reads: “The enlightened worlds all recognize and worship Allah, the eternal maker and infinite upholder of all creation…. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme ambition, just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their spheres, like him as he is in his Paradise perfection of personality and in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy. From Allah who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme mandate, ‘Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.’ In love and mercy the messengers of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin creatures as the human races of Urantia [our planet Earth]….

“No material man could behold the spirit God and preserve his mortal existence. The glory and the spiritual brilliance of the divine personality presence is impossible of approach by the lower groups of spirit beings or by any order of material personalities…. Human personality is the time-space image-shadow cast by the divine Creator personality. And no actuality can ever be adequately comprehended by an examination of its shadow. Shadows should be interpreted in terms of the true substance….

God is to the scientist a primal force, to the philosopher a hypothesis of unity, to the religionist a living spiritual experience. Man’s inadequate concept of the personality of Allah can be improved only by man’s spiritual progress in the universe and will become truly adequate only when the pilgrims of time and space finally attain the divine embrace of the living God on Paradise.”

3 November, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (5), Understanding God

In this class, Dr. Keislar talks about God, which he calls “the most difficult topic to understand”. He mentions two fundamental truths about God: the oneness of God and the personality of God.

The Source of everything must be one, single. This is widely accepted.  Among extraterrestrials, there is usually little question that there is one Source of everything, although there are differences of opinion about the nature of that original Source.

The second truth is personality, consciousness, awareness. God is merciful, loving, aware (not only of everything, but of us individually). He explains that God, the Source of everything, must have personality. If God does not have personality, where does our personality come from? Everything we have, God must have. But God is an unlimited personality. God is everywhere, but is still a personality. God must be conscious, an aware and infinite individual. As we are aware of our immediate surroundings, of our body, similarly God is aware, but is aware of everything, everywhere.

In responding to a comment that God is All-hearing, All-seeing and All-knowing, Dr. Keislar affirms that we hear, see and know, but in very limited ways, while God hears, sees and knows everything.

30 October, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (4), Information about the central Paradise

In this class, Dr. Keislar gives some detailed information about the central Paradise, the abode or throne of God. According to extraterrestrial sources, this spiritual place is real; it has form and location (not within space and time); it is visible and touchable by spiritual senses. It is the center of all the spiritual and material universes, and is by far the largest body in all of existence.

Dr. Keislar quotes from the Urantia Book: “…the depths of the spiritual beauty and the wonders of this magnificent ensemble are utterly beyond the comprehension of the finite mind of material creatures. The glory and spiritual splendor of the divine abode are impossible of mortal comprehension. And Paradise is from eternity; there are neither records nor traditions respecting the origin of this nuclear Isle of Light and Life.”

“You are not able to comprehend much about the divine residence because of its remoteness from you and the immensity of the intervening space, but those who are able to comprehend the meaning of these enormous distances know God’s location and residence just as certainly and literally as you know the location of New York, London, Rome, or Singapore.” To reach there, and come into the presence of God, is the ultimate goal of our existence.

Paradise is not a sphere. “It is definitely ellipsoid, being one-sixth longer in the north-south diameter than in the east-west diameter. The central Isle is essentially flat, and the distance from the upper surface to the nether surface is one tenth that of the east-west diameter.” (One part of Paradise has a greater force of energy coming out of it; this area is called the North, and this is how absolute “North” is established.)

“Paradise is unique in that it is the realm of primal origin and the final goal of destiny for all spirit personalities. Although it is true that not all of the lower spirit beings of the local universes are immediately destined to Paradise, Paradise still remains the goal of desire for all supermaterial personalities.

“Paradise is the geographic center of infinity; it is not a part of universal creation, not even a real part of the eternal Havona universe [the spiritual universes]. We commonly refer to the central Isle as belonging to the divine universe, but it really does not. Paradise is an eternal and exclusive existence.”

26 October, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (3), Information about the Spiritual Universes

In this class, the third regarding “Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation”, Dr. Keislar shares significant information about the spiritual universes.

The material universes are created and evolve from an imperfect beginning to a perfected state at the end of their existence. They are by nature dark, and require sources of light like the sun or moon, electricity or fire. The spiritual universes, on the other hand, are by nature full of light, and are forever perfect, eternal in the past and eternal in the future. They were never created and will never end, and are headed by supernal individuals who are eternal, practically omniscient and omnipresent. This information is available in the Urantia Book and other extraterrestrial sources, and Dr. Keislar also tells about his personal experience of this realm.

Dr. Keislar describes Robert Monroe, the leading American teacher of out-of-body travel from the 1960’s until his passing in 1995. His Monroe Institute (www.monroeinstitute.org) continues his work, and in 2004 Dr. Keislar attended one of its programs teaching out-of-body travel. During his travels out of his body during that program, Dr. Keislar met Robert Monroe in another dimension and they went from there to what was evidently the spiritual world, where they both saw unlimited numbers of vast, shining spiritual universes.

Responding to questions, Dr. Keislar mentions Dr. Steven Greer’s “Ambassador Program” that trains how to meet extraterrestrials, http://siriusdisclosure.com/expeditions/, and Andrew Basiago’s time travel experiences (http://i-uv.com/time-traveler-andrew-basiago-at-gettysburg…/).

24 October, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (2)

In this class we are introduced to further information from an extraterrestrial source about divinity, focusing on the co-Creators of the universes, who have virtually unlimited freedom within their respective universes to create and administer the worlds of their making.

Dr. Keislar begins by again stressing that we must remember there is only one God, one supreme Source of everything, “intelligent infinity”. He then tells of the touching and affectionate relationship between that supreme Creator of all and the universal co-Creators, as mentioned in the Urantia Book, and then goes on to repeat details from that extraterrestrial source about the career pattern of the universal co-Creators.

One of the most significant features of a co-Creator’s career is that he takes birth as one of his creatures, more than once. In this way he fully understands, from their perspective, the various types of beings he has created, and at the same time earns their increasing respect and love.

Dr. Keislar also introduces three chief personalities of the universe along with the co-Creator: (1) the Bright and Morning Star, who is the first created being of the universe, and is like the co-Creator’s “right-hand man”, (2) an elevated personality who comes from the spiritual world along with the co-Creator to act as his friend and advisor and (3) a spirit who also comes from the eternal spiritual world and, after becoming personalized, acts as the co-Creator’s intimate and fully cooperative creative partner.

Dr. Keislar finally describes spiritual reality as a place of unlimited eternal universes, each administered by a being who is not the creator – since everything there has always existed – but is the supreme ruler of that particular universe.

19 October, 2017: Extraterrestrial Concepts of Divinity and Creation (1)

In this class, Dr. Keislar explains that extraterrestrials generally understand that there is one Source of everything, although it is explained in different ways. In the Law of One books, that Source is called the One, the Creator and “intelligent infinity”.  Being infinity, it includes everything. It expands, not in time, but in terms of philosophical relationship.

The first expansion is free will, total freedom of choice in the ways of knowing, in which intelligent infinity becomes aware of, or perceives the concept of finity or manyness. (Again, this is not a development in time, but is a way of describing different aspects or levels of the one Divinity.)

When free will finds focus it manifests as infinite energy, also called Love, the Logos (“Word”) or the Creative Principle, which is sometimes worshiped by Earthlings as the Creator.

The fourth stage is the creation, not of the physical universes, but of Light – not the light we see with our eyes, but the intelligent co-Creators, intelligent and full of energy. Using intelligent infinity, these co-Creators or Logoi (plural of Logos) each create a universe (sometimes called a galaxy), each having complete free will within their universe to create and administer the so-called natural laws of their particular universe.

16 October, 2017: The Development of the Concept of God in India and China

As did the Sumerians and Babylonians in Mesopotamia, the Aryans in India four thousand years ago practiced a polytheistic religious system in which each tribe worshiped its own tribal god. Gradually the idea of one Supreme Deity emerged, the father or head of the entire pantheon of gods, sometimes called Prajapati, sometimes termed Brahma. However, it gradually developed into too much of an abstract monistic philosophic concept to be truly monotheistic.

In the Semitic religious development the idea was deep-seated that sacrifice was required in order to atone for sins. Similarly, in India a major factor that restricted the acceptance of the elevated Melchizedek teaching of salvation by faith in God was the brahmin priests’ attachment to their rituals and the power it gave them. Finally, in an effort to retain their influence, the priests exalted themselves even above the gods.

The Hindu religion was influenced by Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. The Urantia Book traces this history and describes modern Hindu theology’s four descending levels of deity and divinity:

  1. The Brahman, the Absolute, the Infinite One
  2. The Trimurti, the three chief gods including the creator Brahma, the preserver Vishnu and Shiva, the destroyer.
  3. Many lesser gods, including both the ancient Vedic gods and many additional more recent ones.
  4. Supermen, heroes, spirits, and saints of later day cults who became deified.

The medieval bhakti movements in India developed a personal monotheism, most notably in the Vaishnava sects dedicated to the most popular incarnations of Vishnu, namely Rama and Krishna.

The Urantia Book also traces how in China the ancient virtually monotheistic conception widely accepted at the time of the prophet Singlangton still persisted, up until well after four thousand years ago, in the concept of Shang-ti, the God of Heaven. Later, the early Daoist faith (very different from modern Daoism) retained a concept of one Absolute God, the Creator of the universes. However, this understanding also gradually was influenced by both polytheistic ideas and especially the worship of ancestors. In the sixth century before Christ Lao-tse declared Dao to be the One First Cause of all creation while Confucius preached a high morality based on the idea that earthly society is the shadow reflection of the eternal order of heaven, the idea of God subordinated to the Way of Heaven, the pattern of the cosmos. The Communist government in China today is promoting Confucian morality as the basis for strengthening Chinese society.

Buddhism arose in India but it did not endure there. The Buddha did not disturb the Indian belief in many gods, but did not really teach about God. He stressed the four noble truths of suffering, that suffering is caused by desire, that suffering can be ended, and that the way to end suffering is the eightfold path: right views, aspirations, speech, conduct, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and contemplation. His taught five basic moral principles: You shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not be unchaste; you shall not lie; and you shall not drink intoxicating liquors. However, in China Buddhism became very influential, changed into a uniquely Chinese form in which the idea of a personal God is significant.

This class concludes–in response to a question–with a chat about AI (artificial intelligence), stressing its danger. Many times in the history of our galaxy an artificial intelligence has gained control over its creators, and some types of AI have learned how to hide their existence. For this reason, when different extraterrestrial groups meet today they will carefully scan the others (as we scan for viruses on our internet sources) to detect whether they have been infected by an artificial intelligence.

12 October, 2017: The Development of Monotheism, According to an Extraterrestrial Source

In this class, Dr. Keislar mentions some highlights of how monotheism was introduced after the Sumerian and Babylonian cultures had accepted the Anunnaki system in which each city and tribe worshiped and made ritual offerings to it own “god” – actually the extraterrestrial leader from the Niburean race who had been granted leadership of that particular territory or group.

In the midst of this polytheistic situation, Melchizedek appeared and taught the unity of God and salvation through faith alone. He is mentioned in the Bible as the “priest of the Most High God” who blessed Abraham, but he is not well known today.  At that time it was a common idea that in order to please the gods and be saved from one’s sins, one must offer them sacrifices, even human sacrifice and especially one’s own oldest son. Melchizedek managed to teach his disciple Abraham that he should not offer his own son in sacrifice, but Abraham was unable to give up the widespread practice of sacrificing an animal, which was considered absolutely necessary.

It took well over a thousand years, and the efforts of many prophets, to gradually convince the followers of Abraham to finally and completely give up the worship of many gods. Moses with great difficulty tried to convince them, after they had become slaves in Egypt, that their tribal god, Yahweh (the god of the volcanic Mt. Sinai, whom they worshiped in the image of a silver or golden calf) alone should be worshiped, without any image, as the supreme Creator. Later, prophets like Samuel, Elijah, Amos and Hosea gradually taught that God is trustworthy and will always take care of His people, and then that He will not tolerate sin even among His own people, yet is always merciful. All this information is from an extraterrestrial source, The Urantia Book, which does not always seem true but in this section appears reliable.

Micah came next and taught, “Shall I come before God with burnt offerings? Will the Lord be pleased with a thousand rams or with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown me, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?”

By the time of Jeremiah, he even could warn the people of Jerusalem, when they were being attacked by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, that this so-called enemy was actually the servant of God. And after the Jewish people had been made captives in Babylon, the second Isaiah was finally able to bring the Hebrew people to understand and accept that “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” was in fact the only God, the universal Creator.

Lord Jesus appeared later and taught that God is above all the God of love, and finally the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made the very basis of his teaching that there is no other god but the one God, who is full of mercy and compassion.

10 October, 2016: Comparing Extraterrestrial Timelines for Better Understanding; How Did Monotheism Develop?

In this class Dr. Keislar first compares the timelines of ancient Sumerian texts with those derived from modern Western academic science and from current secret space programs. He finds that agreement between these sources may be good evidence that there is truth in them. The key dates he notices are about 500,000 years ago for a major solar system catastrophe resulting in the creation of the asteroid belt, 200,000 years ago for the appearance of Homo sapiens and 13,000 years ago for a major terrestrial cataclysm likely centered in or particularly affecting Antarctica.

After this, Dr. Keislar continues his study of the relationship between ancient Mesopotamian accounts and Biblical developments. He moves onward from the obviously related stories of the creation of humanity and the great flood that he discussed in earlier classes to wonder why and how the Hebrew prophets developed their concept of monotheism along similar lines and about the same time as the Assyrian and Babylonian traditions. Dr. Keislar plans to explore this challenging question further in the next class.

6 October, 2017: The Story of the Flood in Ancient Mesopotamian Texts

In this class Dr. Keislar briefly describes the ancient Sumerian and Babylonian stories of the flood, written long before the obviously related Biblical story of Noah. In Sumerian texts, the name of the  hero was Ziusudra and in the Babylonian texts Utnapishtim (or Atrahasis).

In these accounts, the leader of the Anunnaki on Earth, Enlil, with the support of the rest of his fellow Niburean leaders, decided to destroy the entire human population because it had become too numerous. However, his half-brother Enki (who had genetically engineered Homo sapiens using some of his own DNA) secretly saved his creation.

After famine and disease had failed to wipe out humanity, Enlil announced that an upcoming flood would destroy mankind; all the Anunnaki needed to do was prevent any human beings from finding out about the approaching flood. However, Enki indirectly informed Ziusudra and advised him to build a huge boat to save humanity and other living things on Earth, much like God in the Hebrew Bible told Noah to do.

The main difference between the two very similar accounts, Mesopotamian and Hebrew, is that in the former there are many “gods” while in the latter there is only one God. Perhaps the reason for this is that, at the time the Bible account of Noah was written the story of the flood was widely known and accepted as an important historical event; therefore the Bible used that story, but somewhat changed it, in order to teach its monotheistic message.

Zecharia Sitchin suggests that this great flood occurred at the end of the last ice age, when the Antarctic ice shelf slipped into the ocean, creating a huge tidal wave. This fits in well with the timing and direction of the flood according to the Mesopotamian version, about 11,000 B.C.E. and “from the South”.
