Topical studies

Review of key concepts and teaching aids developed in SoS and by Dr. Chris over time.

• God the Mother (where is the handle to grab ahold of text-wide? Is there one?)
• Table of Contents: The mechanics of engaging the Urantia Book
  • Its super-structure. It's not like any other thing you've read. You can't just read it.
  • Why the authors of papers are the authors that they are
  • Con: could be exhausting, dry, etc, and we tend to cover this as-we-go

• [Jenny] Threefold actuality

  • Paradise, Havana, Superuniverses, local levels
  • Con: already somewhat covered this in the Paradise Ascent.
• [Jenny] Jesus/Michael who is He and why did He come to our world
• [Jenny] Our destiny: why we are here and where we are going
• [Jenny] How we can have eternal life
  • And how that happens; Our binary choice: yes or no to eternal life
  • The work of the Thought Adjuster within us
• [Jenny] Fatherhood of God, Our sonship and brotherhood of man

• Closing Argument: a 2-4 episode look back. Sum up. Synthesize.
