The Urantia Book and Sir Hubert Wilkins

Post by Amigoo »

On 9/14/2015, S.R. announced:

:sunflower: The Urantia Notebook of Sir Hubert Wilkins is now available at Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Urantia-Notebook- ... 0996716505

It is 496 pages and $19.95. It includes and introductory section of 100 pages which includes a biography of Sir Hubert divided it in two: "Wilkins the Fact Finder" and "Wilkins the Truth Seeker." The purpose of this secondary work is twofold: to familiarize UB readers with an extraordinary world-class man who was as devoted to the revelation as we are, and to show Wilkins enthusiasts that their hero was interested in the Urantia teachings.

​From the back cover:

SIR HUBERT WILKINS (1888-1958) was an Australian adventurer who gained international renown for his pioneering flights in the Arctic and Antarctic. In 1942, after having shifted his sphere of activities from polar exploration to working for the United States Army and various government agencies, he was introduced to the Urantia revelation. This revelation consisted of thousands of pages of manuscript said to have been transmitted by superhuman beings through an anonymous man living in Chicago. The enormous text was in the custody of a Chicago physician, William S. Sadler, who formed a secret group, the Forum, to study it. Wilkins became a member on March 5, 1942. Enthralled by his initial readings, he pored over the manuscript during his periodic visits to Chicago.

In 1945 he began to keep a notebook, into which he copied passages from the text that he found especially significant or inspiring. When the Urantia Book was finally published in 1955, Sir Hubert was able to retrieve the notebook, which until then had been stored at Dr. Sadler’s residence in Chicago. It was rediscovered in 2014, and is now being made public. It is a unique remnant of a largely obscure period in the history of the Urantia Book and its readership.

Sir Hubert Wilkins was certainly the first internationally known person to embrace the Urantia text as a major revelation to this planet. This notebook is a testament to Wilkins’ devoted study of a book that answered his most vital questions and gave him a new lens through which to view his own adventurous life.

:scratch: So, does this "Urantia Notebook" confirm Ingo Swann's* comment (below) on Harold Sherman's "All About Heaven"?

* Ingo Swann (1933 - 2013) became famous for his Remote Viewing expertise**.

:study: About Harold Sherman and Sir Hubert Wilkins ...

Re: http://www.allaboutheaven.org/sources/3 ... man-harold

"He was not born with any unusual psychic abilities, yet with practice and research, he was able to tune his mind to read people's thoughts. I know a friend who knew Sherman in his later years, and said that Sherman could read people's thoughts, make coincidences happen, and several other ESP abilities. Sherman believed that ESP is something we all have, and that with practice we can use it more often in our life."

"(Sir Hubert) Wilkins went to the North Pole to search for missing Russian pilots, while Sherman stayed in New York."

"Sherman ‘received mind transmissions’ daily about Wilkin's feelings, thoughts and conditions, and wrote them on paper."

"when Wilkins arrived in the Arctic, he was assailed by urgent and very hazardous problems and rarely took the time to consciously send messages to Sherman in New York. Despite this, or maybe because of the high level of emotion with which Wilkins accompanied his thoughts, his dated logbook showed striking agreement with Sherman's records of his contemporaneous mental impressions"

[from the Foreward by Ingo Swann]

"There is no evidence in the book establishing that Wilkins ever actively took time to 'send' telepathic information to Sherman who passively 'received' what was sent. What he did do was to record events and details in his log, this being a usual habit with an explorer."

~~~
:idea: Finally , this ESP experiment of Wilkins and Sherman confirms accumulated research on psychic phenomena that human emotions are important in the recording/transmitting/receiving of such phenomena. And (IMO) Wilkins had emotion-driven ability to "send" information (resonance transmission?) to Sherman while recording that information in the Arctic.

An opportunity for new adventure in ESP research! :roll

S.R. commented later about the "Urantia Notebook":

:idea: "it is about Sir Hubert and his connection to the Urantia Book. The history of his friendship with Sherman is of course covered in the Introduction because that is how Wilkins learned of the revelation. The results and analyses of their psychic experiments have been covered elsewhere in great detail, and are beyond the scope of our book.

:study: Re: "The Urantia Notebook of Sir Hubert Wilkins"

:roll How intriguing! Some of the final pages of this book show a doctor's prescription form with the names William S. Sadler, M.D. and Della W. Moussa, M.D. (Sir Hubert was using these unused pages as a notebook).

Then, C.K. posted today ...

"Dr. Della Moussa was the general physician in Dr. William S. Sadler's office from about 1950 until about 1953 or 1954; She performed physical examinations of patients. She was born and raised in Wisconsin where she met and married a Lutheran minister. In the late 1930s he decided to study at American University in Beirut, Lebanon ... After the war she returned to the U.S.and divorced him. She studied medicine at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. She was not a member of the Forum and never indicated interest."

My Amazon.com review of this book:

"Includes commentary on Wilkins, the psychic adventurer. :roll

:D "The religionist of faith believes in a God who fosters survival." (Urantia Papers 5:5.3, one of many sentences copied by Sir Hubert Wilkins)

The information relating to the Urantia Papers and Dr. Sadler's Forum (about pages 57-106) makes this Urantia Notebook a valuable reference for one's Urantia books library. In these pages, we learn how well Sir Hubert was acquainted with the Urantia Papers (their identification before being compiled and published in 1955 as the "Urantia Book") and that he was among the earliest of financial supporters of that first publication. ;)

8) The fewer pages (57, 63, 74-79) that mention the ESP experiment of Sir Hubert and Harold Sherman are a nice research complement to their book: "Thoughts Through Space - A Dramatic ESP Adventure", 1973, by Harold Sherman and Sir Hubert Wilkins."

by Saskia Praamsma and Matthew Block

After browsing in my copy of "Thoughts" from Amazon.com, I'm convinced that Sir Hubert and Harold Sherman conducted this ESP experiment (for 6 months), with Sir Hubert being the transmitter (of thoughts) and Sherman, the receiver. The varying quality of overlap (accuracy) suggests that, while such psychic transmitting/receiving between humans is a reality, the process requires long-term, experiential skill ... both in transmitting and receiving. :hithere

:idea: Perhaps, another element is critical: the "mind attunement" of both participants to each other. In contrast, celestial transmissions (usually with the aid of secondary midwayers) might be assumed to be of exceptional quality on the transmitting side of the communication, but of varying quality on the human receiving side (interpretation/translation by the human brain is the essence of this complexity ... with large vocabulary and conceptualization ability also important).

Judging by content (perceived truth), 1111angels has a number of very good receivers! 8)

:lol: I'd have to agree with you...but of course I am prejudice. :mrgreen: ;)

I am wondering if especially the later is very important as without permission and this vital personal connection it could be a bit invasive. I have a friend, Anne who was adapt at this... She conversed regularly in this manner with a person in India and she knew much of what was going on with me... without me telling her. I always assumed this was TA aided etc. Let's see... how did she explain it to me?... She said something to the effect that "God is "the river" flowing between both of us that carries the communications back and forth. It was uncanny and there was no doubt of the connection.

In greater and lesser degrees I suspect, just as you intimated in the quote above, with experience (and practice) we can make improvements in our skill using this mode of communication.

Sandy,

:idea: I've read elsewhere that emotions are important for success of mind-to-mind communication; and now believe that emotions (via hormones?) are somehow related to sensitization/attunement of some component(s) of the human brain. This obvious human ability should be studied more by UB readers since the approaching (IMO) magisterial mission on earth might be enriched by humans who can receive instruction and guidance via mind.

:roll This reading duo ("The Urantia Notebook of Sir Hubert Wilkins" and "Thoughts Through Space") appears to be a good starting point for both believing (that it's possible) and conceptualizing (how it occurs in the brain) in a new adventure of mind.
