  • Urantia Paper 17, The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups, Section 2. Majeston—Chief of Reflectivity
    Nov 25 2025
    Majeston: The Reflective Heart of the Universe

    In this week's episode, we continued our journey into Urantia Paper 17, The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups with a reading of Section 2. Majeston—Chief of Reflectivity

    We explored the cosmic origins of Majeston, the Chief of Reflectivity and the singular personality born of the Supreme Being in liaison with the Deity Absolute.

    We discovered the awe-inspiring emergence of the Reflective Spirits. They are beings of divine Trinity origin who create synchrony between the Seven Master Spirits and the Paradise Trinity. (Reflectivity is a spiritual mirror of the Supreme Mind. It reflects not only facts, but meanings and values. It is the means by which the divine responds to the evolving universe in perfect harmony.)

    Majeston is not merely a figure of celestial coordination; he is the infallible center of reflectivity across all seven superuniverses, rather like a living nexus of divine perception and spiritual alignment. His creation marks the first supreme creative act of the Supreme Being and signals a new epoch in the unfolding drama of experiential Deity.

    Listen in as we contemplate the astonishing implications of this and discover what Majeston’s existence reveals about the nature of divine will, cosmic unity, and the limitless potential of spiritual evolution!

  • Urantia Paper 17. The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups
    Nov 18 2025
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we began our exploration of a new paper, Urantia Paper 17 — The Seven Supreme Spirit Groups

    This paper unveils Seven Supreme Spirit Groups and the mighty beings who coordinate divine administration across the grand universe.We started with the preamble, setting the stage with a sweeping overview of these seven orders, each distinct yet unified in purpose, serving as spiritual agents of the Infinite Spirit and the Paradise Trinity.

    We then dove into Section 1: The Seven Supreme Executives. The awe-inspiring administrators who preside over the seven superuniverses from their headquarters worlds.They act as personalized expressions of the Infinite Spirit, embodying the will of the Paradise Trinity and harmonizing spiritual and material forces across vast cosmic domains. Their influence is not direct or personal, it is systemic, and it ensures cosmic order, spiritual equity, and evolutionary progress.

    Listen in as we explore how these Supreme Executives function as divine regulators and shape the destiny of worlds and souls through their omnipresent coordination and as we embark on this new chapter of the superlative revelations from The Urantia Book.

  • Urantia Paper 16. The Seven Master Spirits, Section 9: Reality of Human Consciousness
    Nov 11 2025
    In this episode, we completed our exploration of Urantia Paper 16. The Seven Master Spirits, with a reading and discussion of Section 9. The Reality of Human Consciousness.

    This section explores the divine origin, structure, and purpose of human consciousness. It affirms that consciousness is not an accidental byproduct of evolution, but a cosmic endowment, a sacred interface between the material and spiritual realms.

    Also, in this section, the revelators illuminate the profound mystery of human consciousness. What is it that makes us aware, reflective, and spiritually responsive? How does personality unify mind and spirit into a living soul?

    The revelatory insight that consciousness is a cosmic phenomenon, a gift of mind ministry that allows us to perceive truth, beauty, and goodness. This section challenges us to consider the divine origin of our awareness and our sacred responsibility in cultivating it.

    Listen in as we wrap up this remarkable paper and reflect on the interplay between mind, spirit, personality, and true spiritual consciousness. It is more than a philosophical inquiry, it is a call to awaken, to live consciously, and to embrace the divine partnership unfolding from within.
