RE: Do You Believe in Magic, Messages from "The Other Side" and the Power of Words?

I was skeptic in many things paranormal even though I must admit I had several of them myself that I couldn't quite explain up until the age of 21/22 (so I decided to discard them as something which was just very strange and random). I am not a skeptic anymore however... I know there is something bigger than me, fortunately. And it's for the good, mostly. But this world... is the closest thing to hell in my perception. There are some safe havens which are closest to heaven (at least to the lowest of the higher astrals), but way too few outposts of this quality in my humble opinion. Overall it's dark and murky down here (not as in the lower astral realms, but still), yet according to the Book of Urantia progress will be achieved for mankind to accede to higher ascension phases and transition to higher dimensions of consciousness respectively, at first slow, but then gradually better and better. Hope, there will always be hope, even in a physical realm as Earth which seems preponderantly cut so far away from the Source.

You are a font of information and insights - next up, the Book of Urantia - and what you say fits with all that I have been leaning toward: something BIGGER than us, mostly good, with hope of ascending to higher phases, but I best go check out this book that kinda sounds like You-RANT-sha, a mnemonic device, as RANTING is what i do. THanks again Vikthor!

Ok, looking up Urantia....

The Urantia Book (sometimes called The Urantia Papers or The Fifth Epochal Revelation) is a spiritual, philosophical, and religious book that originated in Chicago sometime between 1924 and 1955. The authorship remains a matter of speculation.

....The authors refer to the book as the fifth revelation of "epochal significance" to humankind, the fourth epochal revelation having been the life of Jesus. The claim of revelation in The Urantia Book has been criticized for various reasons. Skeptics such as Martin Gardner say it is a product of human efforts. Because the book does not support certain tenets of Christianity, such as the atonement doctrine, while at the same time presenting an account of parts of Jesus' life absent in the Bible, others with a Christian viewpoint have argued it cannot be genuine. Gooch notes that while its "somewhat dated, elegant" prose could be read as fiction, due to its claim of divine inspiration "the book invites reactions far more scathing than [it] ... might otherwise merit."
