pause for reflection....
pause for reflection....
~*~*~
For those who've been following the discussion or those newer to it,...this is quite a long thread,....so referring back to the OP (excellent intro and resource links) and reading as much as possible is helpful for newbies, and at least as many pages back to catch up on the dialogue. Also one can use the 'thread search' feature to pin-point subjects of interest if so far covered.
Unfortunately not a lot of helpful or constructive dialogue has ensued here since many are quick to judge, demean or ridicule the UB without giving it further consideration or research (let alone reading at least the first few papers, up to the first 12 papers which presents the fundamental theology on the nature of God, his relationships within the Paradise Trinity, individual souls, and the Universe of universes. Index
here.
I've served as an expounder/expositor of some of the principles and concepts described in the papers, yet remain very 'eclectic' being a student of many schools, a student of comparative religions, metaphysics and philosophy,....so when I share my insights on the papers
relating such to religious principles and philosophy in general and in particular...
these are being cross-woven with similar and corresponding information from a university of knowledge,
since all religious traditions and cultures contain some truth from the original, ultimate source of all reality. There is one Great Central SUN, and its many rays....just like there is one Infinite Ocean, and many rivers.
Here, we're reflecting upon an epochal revelation (claimed to be the 5th to this planet) of great interest and magnitude, worth investigating, whether one decides not to believe it wholly, or draws insight from some parts while rejecting others, or just keeps the UB in his religious library to consult from time to time in his studies (I sometimes come from all these points of view at times). With a resource like this, a student can study both texts (bible and ub), among many other religious texts and
go where the Spirit leads, since that all we can do anyways....while various factors condition or influence our
direction. So with those reflections,...let us continue......
