About the Author

When I look back at times before The Urantia Book came into my life, I see a boy kind of like the title character in Pete Townshend's rock opera Tommy, who was deaf, dumb, and blind. Deaf, dumb, and blind to spirit reality, that is. I have often wondered how spirit gravity had its way with me. Just like a meteor finally coming close enough to another heavenly body to alter its course, spiritual realities pulled me in and changed my life.
I think I fit into a mold where, when one awakens to spirit reality because love has invaded his or her life, one is not ready for its power. A broken heart is sometimes necessary in order to grow in spirit understanding. I’m referring to the first time I was in love. I am reminded of the song “The First Cut Is the Deepest.” I didn't have any idea what love was or what it could do to someone. And, yes, of course, I got my heart broken. But if I could love someone else that much, how much does God love?
This growth seems to fit what The Urantia Book says: “Spiritual growth is first an awakening to needs, next a discernment of meanings, and then a discovery of values.” 100:2.2 (1095:6)
Just like the meteor that gets too close, I was in danger of burning and crashing. When one has his heart broken, I think there is always danger of reacting in some angry, self-destructive way. I was about twenty-three or twenty-four, but luckily for me The Urantia Book came along concomitantly with this spiritual experience. The book had a gravity all its own that pulled me away and saved me. I was in California living with several other men. One of them had a father who was an English professor at Cal State Fullerton. He was using The Urantia Book in one of his classes. His son became exposed to The Urantia Book and told us all about it. This was about 1970. The book certainly cleared up my thinking and remotivated me in life to such an extent that I say it saved me from a crash-and-burn experience.
It does take some time not only to read The Urantia Book, but also to redirect a life that was somewhat wayward—too many drugs, no confidence, and to some extent an antisocial attitude. It took me probably at least a year to read the entire book. I started with Part IV, The Life and Teachings of Jesus, and then read the whole book. It says, “The hungry soul of man refuses to be satisfied with anything less than the personal realization of the living God.” 102:1.6 (1119:5)
