    Urantia Paper 16. The Seven Master Spirits - Section 1. Relation to Triune Deity
    Sep 22 2025
    On this episode of The Cosmic Citizen we embark on the study of a new Urantia Paper, Paper 16. The Seven Master Spirits.

    We discover the Infinite Spirit’s supreme expression of divine diversity with a dive into this paper’s Preamble and a reading and discussion of Section 1. Relation to Triune Deity.

    We learn that these sevenfold personalities mirror the associative possibilities of the Universal Father, Eternal Son, and Infinite Spirit, and discover how these mighty beings shape the universe’s spiritual architecture with the living dynamics of the Triune God.

    This discussion opens a cosmic lens on divine coordination, spiritual supervision, and the architecture of reality itself.

    We hope you enjoy another rich dialogue intended to bridge revelation with personal insight.

    Special Edition: Author JJ Johnson - Exploring the Urantia Revelation – Bridging Science and Spirit with the Truth of Reality!
    Sep 15 2025
    This Week on The Cosmic Citizen we interviewed special guest, JJ Johnson, on the release of his new book: Exploring the Urantia Revelation–Bridging Science and Spirit With The Truth of Reality!
    From the author:

    Says JJ, "For centuries, science and religion have seemed locked in conflict—two ways of understanding reality that often appear irreconcilable. But my decades of study and personal journey with The Urantia Book have shown me that this divide is not inevitable. Rather, it arises because humanity has lacked a comprehensive revelation—one that can harmonize scientific truth and spiritual insight in a unified understanding of reality.My new book, Exploring the Urantia Revelation (Simon & Schuster, 2025), offers just that: a path that bridges this divide through epochal revelation based on the truth of reality.

    Throughout my global travels and diplomatic career, I witnessed how people everywhere hunger for meaning beyond material success or cultural dogma. My personal quest found completion and coherence in the Urantia revelation. This book is a reflection of fifty years of study and real-world experience that brings together hard science and heartfelt faith into a single, elegant narrative.Exploring the Urantia Revelation is more than history or theology—it is a living, breathing map for navigating the profound mysteries of existence. It combines scientific revelation, spiritual depth, and a deeply personal journey that I share candidly throughout the book.If you believe truth should unite rather than divide, this new revelation invites you to explore a coordinated vision of life’s greatest questions. Only through such revelation can humanity bridge the ancient chasm between science and religion, gaining a clearer picture of the truth of reality itself."

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§13, The Sector Governments & §14, Purposes of the Seven Superuniverses

    The Cosmic Citizen: Divine Administration & Superuniverse Purpose
    In this episode, we hope to complete our study of Urantia Paper 15, "The Seven Superuniverses." We will explore the majestic intent of the grand universe, as revealed in this wonderful paper, with a reading and discussion of Section 13. The Sector Governments, and Section 14, "Purposes of the Seven Superuniverses."

    First, we journey through the layered governance of the superuniverses with Section 13, where divine administrators known as the Perfections of Days and Recents of Days oversee vast sectors of creation. These celestial governments are not merely bureaucratic; they are educational and formative, guiding ascending souls through intellectual training and physical coordination across billions of inhabited worlds.

    Then, we will shift from structure to meaning in Section 14, where the seven superuniverses are revealed to embody distinct evolutionary purposes. Each superuniverse contributes uniquely to the unfolding of the Supreme Being, with Orvonton (our own superuniverse) serving as the radiant example of mercy, patience, and experiential love.
    These sections invite us to contemplate the spiritual significance of cosmic diversity and the divine intention behind our universe’s design.

    Join us as we reflect on how these celestial patterns mirror our own soul-journey, and how understanding the divine administration of the cosmos can deepen our sense of spiritual citizenship and planetary purpose.

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§11. The Deliberative Assembly & §12. The Supreme Tribunals
    Sep 3 2025
    In this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we will journey to Uversa, the HQ of the Superuniverse, to explore two sections that cover the legislative and judicial council. These include the Deliberative Assembly and the Supreme Tribunals.

    “It is on such worlds as Uversa that the beings representative of the autocracy of perfection and the democracy of evolution meet face to face.”

    The Deliberative Assembly on Uversa is comprised of seven houses, each house elects a native representative from among the ascending-pilgrim graduates, who serve a one-hundred-year term and effectively unite evolutionary voices with perfected governance.

    This council has never voted down an executive directive; every recommendation has been carried out in perfect harmony, showcasing the union of evolutionary insight and divine leadership.

    In the Supreme Tribunals, The Ancients of Days serve as the ultimate spiritual arbiters for the entire superuniverse. Sovereign Sons rule their local universes independently, but they may choose to bring questions before the Ancients.

    When a case doesn’t require a full trial or formal evidence, the Ancients of Days (or their appointed associates) simply confer and issue a unanimous decision. These are councils of perfection: no votes are split, and no minority opinions appear in their rulings.

    With very few exceptions, the superuniverse authorities have final jurisdiction over everything in their realm. Their decisions cannot be appealed because they reflect the fully united will of both the Ancients of Days and the Paradise Master Spirit who guides the superuniverse’s destiny.

    Join us in pondering how these celestial bodies of wisdom and judgment can illuminate our own path toward harmonious collaboration and divine order.

    Governance of Glory: Rulers of the Superuniverses

    This week on The Cosmic Citizen, we explored the majestic spiritual governance of the seven superuniverses—vast domains of time and space overseen by divine personalities of extraordinary origin and purpose.

    At the helm of each superuniverse are three Ancients of Days, supreme executives who embody justice, wisdom, and divine authority.

    Their executive branch consists of seven different groups, which include Perfectors of Wisdom, Divine Counselors, and Universal Censors. These are Trinity-origin beings who ensure spiritual integrity and cosmic order. Also included are Mighty Messengers, Those High in Authority, and Those Without Name and Number. These are glorified ascendant mortals who have journeyed through Havona and now serve as Trinitized Sons of Attainment.

    These rulers operate from the superuniverse headquarters. It also houses the Reflective Spirits and Reflective Image Aids, who facilitate divine communication across vast cosmic distances.

    This section also reveals sector rulers and other regional overseers as well, such as: Perfections of Days, Recents of Days, Unions of Days, and Faithfuls of Days. Each one playing a vital role in the layered administration of creation—from major sectors to local universes and constellations.

    This celestial government reflects the Paradise Trinity’s wisdom and mercy, which integrates evolutionary beings into divine service. It reveals a superuniverse that is not only governed with precision but also infused with love and spiritual purpose.

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§9. Circuits of the Superuniverses
    Aug 11 2025
    The Living Circuits of the Superuniverses

    In this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we explore Section 9 of Urantia Paper 15. It’s an awe-inspiring look at the spiritual and energy circuits that sustain the grand universe.

    From the heart of Paradise, divine presence flows through universal circuits, including the personality gravity circuit of the Universal Father, the spiritual gravity circuit of the Eternal Son, and the mind gravity circuit of the Infinite Spirit. These circuits bind all of creation together in a living network of divine influence.

    We also explore the superuniverse circuits, including the cosmic mind of the Master Spirits, the reflective services of the Reflective Spirits, and the mysterious ministry of the Thought Adjusters. We then descended into the local universe circuits, where the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit minister directly to evolving souls like us.

    This section reveals a universe not just built on energy, but on intelligent, spiritual connectivity. It is designed to guide all beings toward unity, harmony, and eventual entrance into the settled realms of light and life.

    We hope you enjoy it!

  • Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§8. Energy Control and Regulation

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§8. Energy Control and Regulation
    Jul 28 2025
    The Living Intelligence Behind Cosmic Balance

    This episode of The Cosmic Citizen reveals the astonishing complexity and precision of energy regulation across the superuniverses.

    Energy control is entrusted to living and semi-living entities, the power centers and the physical controllers. “These power centers and controllers are difficult of understanding; the lower orders are not volitional, they do not possess will, they do not choose, their functions are very intelligent but apparently automatic and inherent in their highly specialized organization.” They intelligently manage the thirty energy systems of the gravita domain. (On the Superuniverse headquarters, the realm of universe power is referred to as GRAVITA.)

    The headquarters worlds of the superuniverses serve as focal points for energy direction, influencing the flow and balance of physical forces throughout their respective domains.

    This section explores how energy has substance and weight, and how its velocity is affected by mass, antigravity, and the influence of nearby celestial bodies. It reveals a dynamic universe where energy and matter are in constant transformation, guided by the Universe Power Directors. They can condense, detain, expand, or liberate energy to maintain equilibrium.

    Ultimately, this section invites awe at the living orchestration of energy, where celestial regulators maintain harmony amid the vast forces of space. It’s another portrait of divine engineering, where even the blazing suns and dark islands of space are part of a purposeful, intelligent design.

    Urantia Paper 15—The Seven Superuniverses—§7. The Architectural Spheres
    Jul 22 2025
    The Architectural Spheres: Exploring Celestial Design with Purpose

    In this episode of The Cosmic Citizen, we journey into the breathtaking reality of the Architectural Spheres described in The Urantia Book. These aren't ordinary worlds shaped by evolutionary forces, they are precisely crafted spheres, divinely engineered for specific spiritual purposes: training, governance, worship, and universal coordination.

    We contemplate what it means to dwell in places infused with intentional harmony. Where spiritual beauty meets administrative function.

    These spheres are expressions of divine artistry, filled with stunning landscapes, personalized resonance, and are perfectly adapted to celestial inhabitants. As we unpack their roles, we’ll also ask what this reveals about our destiny and our place in a universe that is not only expansive, but exquisitely beautiful and intentional.

    We hope you will enjoyour exploration of how these spheres serve as luminous waystations for ascending souls and how they differ in structure from natural planets. Also, why they're central to God's grand design across the superuniverses.
