Are you ready to courageously follow your own sense of mercy, justice, and truth? Are you searching for religious teachings that make sense? Are you having a hard time accepting teachings which seem spiritually unholy and untruthful? Then, have we got a show for you! The Cosmic Citizen is a show for progressive religionists and spiritual people who are ready to find a spirituality worthy of an age of science and enlightenment. Our hosts, Paula Thompson, Andre Radatus , Chuck Thurston, Pamela Chaddock, and Marvin Gawryn are ministers, students and scholars of The Urantia Book, all with at least four decades of experience with it. We sometimes interview guests on topics related to modern and progressive spirituality, but most often we explore The Urantia Book together on air. We embrace diversity, civil and intelligent dialogue, and a willingness to serve a purpose that is true, beautiful and good. Please join us!

Upcoming Broadcasts

This week we continue our reading of Urantia Paper 11, The Eternal Isle of Paradise, with a study of section 7. Space Functions of Paradise. Section 7 of Paper 11 in The Urantia Book discusses the relationship between Paradise and space. Here are the key points: Paradise and Space: Paradise does not interact directly with space. Instead, it is surrounded by quiescent midspace zones that separate pervaded (universe) space from unpervaded (reservoir) space. Midspace Zones: These zones act as buffers and grow larger with distance from Paradise, eventually encompassing all space. Space Structure: The vertical cross-section of total space resembles a Maltese cross, with horizontal arms representing pervaded space and vertical arms representing unpervaded space. Nature of Space: Space is considered a bestowal from Paradise and is pervaded by the ancestral space potency of the Unqualified Absolute, extending outward from Paradise through various space levels Studying Paradise on The Cosmic Citizen has been fantastic so far. We hope you can join us as we take another exploration into the vast and Eternal Isle of Paradise!
