Church and State in America

Anyone who hasn’t noticed the rabid up-tick in the perceived toxic ties between the presidential candidates and their religious affiliations gets a sincere “get well soon,” because you have to be in some kind of coma.

Where the F Are We?

This morning, our solar system is a few billion years past the swing around the southern curvature of a great oval, so that we are just now advancing beyond the southeastern bend and are moving swiftly through the long and comparatively straightaway northern path. And for untold ages, the enormous aggregation of suns, black holes, planets and moons will pursue this almost direct northerly course.

Our world, Urantia belongs to a system which is well out towards the borderland of our local universe; and our local universe is at present traversing the periphery of Orvonton, the name of an enormous galactic system of which our world is a tiny part. Beyond us there are still others, but we are far removed in space from the physical systems which swing around the great circle in comparative proximity to the Great Source and Center.

Does that help?

I didn’t think so.

Try this:

Practically all of the starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia belong to the seventh section of the grand universe, the superuniverse of Orvonton. The vast Milky Way starry system represents the central nucleus of Orvonton, being largely beyond the borders of [our] local universe. This great aggregation of suns, dark islands of space, double stars, globular clusters, star clouds, spiral and other nebulae, together with myriads of individual planets, forms a watchlike, elongated-circular grouping of about one seventh of the inhabited evolutionary universes.

From the astronomical position of Urantia, as you look through the cross section of near-by systems to the great Milky Way, you observe that the spheres of Orvonton are traveling in a
