Mail this PageThe Urantia Book is fiction, but like many books that are not based on fact, the message should not be negated or discarded. Fiction is, more often than not, the
tool used to relay a message. Children learn extensively about relationships, the rewards and risks of adventure, the ultimate rewards of kindness, the ultimate
outcome of selfishness - all through fiction. Personal lives seldom have the scope of lives in fiction. Time passes from beginning to end during the reader or listeners
rapt attention span, allowing the lesson to be understood and not scattered by distraction. Fiction is thus often times a better story than the truth. Often a story can
be relayed or accepted better if the listener is not sure of the outcome. Fiction can be woven in a way where more information is relayed than a simple fact based
story can tell. Those who wrote the Urantia Book knew this and their important message should not be dismissed due to the shape of the package.
Take, for instance, the lessons relayed in the fictional series Star Wars. Does not Yoda, grumpy and disheveled and living in humble quarters, not exemplify many
characteristics of a Service-to-Other individual? He has quirks, is reluctant, and people can relate. He also has a key role in a crucial battle between Good and
Evil, and ultimately has this satisfaction. So it is often, in the Service-to-Other orientation. How could real life have stated this more effectively? The essential battle
that takes place in 3rd Density entities, which is their orientation decision to either work with others and be empathetic or to go for the self, is very well relayed. The
Urantia Book is such a story, very expertly woven and influenced without a doubt by many entities who wished to see this story told. Read it and appreciate it,
and do not consider it a fabrication but rather an artistic description of the facts.
