UB Tutor & Other AI Resources

[happyrain]

Rod, you used to share things from UB Tutor but I could not find a dedicated thread for it. I am currently studying personalities in the UB and using AI to help me. I thought it was a great idea, and have been enjoying using Perplexity.ai - so I have to give you credit for sharing the resource here. If this thread already exist, please feel free to move my post to the appropriate section.

I've created many threads on UB Tutor but usually copy the Q&A instead of thread link.
These links remain private unless shared like this one today (about black holes):
https://threads.urantiabooktutor.com/th ... YmBqNMbAuS

However, so much text is accumulating to 1111angels that a better habit
would be thread link plus less text from the Q&A.

I'm still comparing/contrasting UB Tutor and Perplexity on UB topics
and occasionally surprised when their responses integrate so well
since UB Tutor is UB-centric AI.

I am studying Paper 37 and Paper 112.

I asked Perplexity.ai to give examples of personalities free from material form-

P.AI: Certainly! According to The Urantia Book, personality is a unique, unchanging, and recognizable reality that can exist independent of material form. While the book emphasizes that personality is not defined by shape, size, or physical characteristics, it does describe how personality can manifest and be experienced on non-material (morontia and spiritual) levels. Here are some examples and descriptions to illustrate what a personality might "look like" or how it might be experienced when free from material reality:

---

1. Morontia Personality

On the morontia worlds (the transitional spheres between material and spiritual existence), personalities are clothed in morontia forms. These forms are not physical in the earthly sense but are substantial and recognizable to other morontia beings. Morontia bodies are described as being more luminous and less dense than physical bodies. Personality maintains its uniqueness, memory, and recognizable traits, but is no longer limited by physical biology.

Example:
A morontia personality might be perceived as a radiant, luminous being whose presence conveys their unique identity, character, and emotional qualities. Communication is more direct—thoughts, intentions, and feelings are more transparently shared.

---

2. Spirit Personality

On higher spiritual levels, personality is entirely free from material and even morontia substance. Spirit personalities are described as being "recognized by their spiritual presence, luminosity, and unique vibrational signature." Recognition is immediate and intuitive; beings know each other by the quality of their spirit presence and the distinctiveness of their personality.

Example:
A spirit personality might appear as a being of pure light, color, or energy, radiating qualities such as love, wisdom, humor, or strength. Their "form" is the expression of their character and spiritual attainment, not a fixed shape. Encounters are deeply personal and meaningful, with an overwhelming sense of familiarity and connection.

3. Personal Presence

The Urantia Book often refers to "personal presence" as the way non-material personalities are experienced. This presence is unmistakable and uniquely identifiable, even without physical form. The Divine Minister, for example, is experienced as a spiritual presence that is both nurturing and personal, instantly recognized by all spirit and morontia beings.

Example:
Meeting a high spiritual personality, such as an archangel or the Divine Minister, would be like entering a field of consciousness or energy that is unmistakably theirs—filled with their unique qualities and spiritual fragrance.

---

4. Personality and Recognition

Even without material form, personality retains memory, identity, and the ability to relate and be recognized. The Urantia Book assures that "personality is recognizable apart from all other reality," and that relationships, affection, and individuality persist and even flourish as beings ascend.

Example:
Reuniting with a loved one on the morontia or spiritual level would involve immediate recognition through the unique "feel" or presence of their personality, not by sight or sound, but by the unmistakable essence of who they are.

---

In essence:
Personality, when freed from material reality, is experienced as a unique, recognizable, and relational spiritual presence—luminous, radiant, and filled with the qualities that make each being eternally individual and beloved.

Thanks for sharing this, Eric... and you too, Rod, for all you do to expand our informational horizons...
I've been hesitant to try anything new...but maybe I can give UB tutor a try...
It's not like my computer will crash or anything of the sort...right?
(The sky might fall, however. )

I needed a refresher on what "Absonite" meant in the Urantia Book. Here is the recorded answer using Perplexity.AI:
"In The Urantia Book, 'absonite' refers to a distinct level of reality that transcends the finite but does not reach the absolute. It is populated by beings and phenomena that are not created, have no beginning or end, and exist beyond the constraints of time and space, yet are not fully infinite."

I'm on paper 112 now:

112:1.1 (1226.5)Personality is bestowed by the Universal Father upon his creatures as a potentially eternal endowment. Such a divine gift is designed to function on numerous levels and in successive universe situations ranging from the lowly finite to the highest absonite, even to the borders of the absolute. Personality thus performs on three cosmic planes or in three universe phases:

112:1.2 (1226.6)1. Position status. Personality functions equally efficiently in the local universe, in the superuniverse, and in the central universe.

112:1.3 (1226.7)2. Meaning status. Personality performs effectively on the levels of the finite, the absonite, and even as impinging upon the absolute.

112:1.4 (1226.8)3. Value status. Personality can be experientially realized in the progressive realms of the material, the morontial, and the spiritual.

It made me think that we can see beyond ourselves as the immediate physical body. I believe I am learning to communicate with that intelligence. John called it my TA. I think he may be right. But more specifically, it made me think a personality can experience itself while here in the finite on the absonite level. I think this is a part of what I am learning as I continue to communicate with the fragment of God within, and even greater personalities guiding me in a space less physical than this.

I asked Perplexity.ai for further clarification:

The text states that personality is "designed to function on numerous levels and in successive universe situations ranging from the lowly finite to the highest absonite, even to the borders of the absolute" and that "personality performs effectively on the levels of the finite, the absonite, and even as impinging upon the absolute" . Furthermore, the personality bestowed upon mortals has a potential of seven dimensions of self-expression: three on the finite level, three on the absonite level, and one on the absolute level. These dimensional phenomena are described as "realizable" on their respective levels .

While the Urantia Book often describes this realization as progressive (i.e., experienced in "successive universe situations"), it also clearly states that personality has a "perfected range of cosmic dimensional performance" and can "perform effectively" across these levels . This suggests that as a personality grows and ascends, it may become increasingly aware of and able to actualize its capacities on both the finite and absonite levels, perhaps even overlapping or integrating these experiences as it approaches the fullness of its potential.

In summary:
A personality, through ascension and spiritual growth, can discover and realize itself on both the finite and absonite levels, and the structure of personality in The Urantia Book allows for this multidimensional expression—potentially even simultaneously as higher levels of selfhood are attained

I asked if the UB could reconcile with the belief, "I am another you" something I've heard many people say on their spiritual path. It's similar to All is One.

Here's what the "tutor" has to say:

Summary
In The Urantia Book, the "oneness" shared between distinct personalities is not a merging of identities, but a spiritual unity rooted in shared origin, purpose, and destiny. Each person remains forever unique, but all are united in the Father's personality circuit and can experience deep spiritual fellowship and harmony.

So, while the Urantia Book does not support the idea that "I am literally another you," it strongly affirms a real and profound spiritual oneness—unity in association, purpose, and divine relationship—without loss of individuality
