How I Found The Urantia Book

This first of five volumes of diaries and letters covers the years leading up to Harold and Martha Sherman's move to Chicago to join the Forum that received the Urantia revelation. It covers Harold's successful writing career in New York and Hollywood, their great friendship with Forumite Harry Loose who introduced them to the Urantia concepts, their relationships with Sir Hubert Wilkins and other notables of the times, and their introduction to and correspondence with Dr William Sadler, the custodian of the revelation. In a note found inside Harold Sherman's personal copy of the Urantia Book he has written his own introduction: "Perhaps not in any literature conceived by man in the long history of life on this earth does there exist such a boundless and majestic account of the universe and universe beings as is contained in a stupendous, privately-published volume known as the book of Urantia, which purports to have been dictated by an organized staff of higher intelligences and transmitted through the mind circuits of a mysterious, unknown, sleeping subjectÂ—a businessman who, in his conscious state, had no knowledge whatsoever concerning these transmissions and who apparently cared even less. There are unsolved angles related to this metaphysical mystery story, but enough is known to provide a background for one of the most amazing, as well as provocative, narratives that any reader interested in philosophy or the occult might ever encounter, any time, anywhere. Prepare, then, to enter upon a most unique, dramatic and intriguing mental adventure, as I take you behind the scenes and share with you, the incredible firsthand experience that Mrs. Sherman and I have had in trying to determine the true from the fake as it has been related to a document which consumed over 40 years in the writing and preparation."

The Sherman Diaries, Volume One: Dawning Revelations 1898-1942

Matthew Block

This book is the second of a five-volume series detailing Harold and Martha Sherman's involvement with the Urantia revelation. Volume One, "Dawning Revelations," began with Harold's smalltown boyhood and ended in the spring of 1942, as he and Martha were about to move to Chicago to study the Urantia papers as they were coming through. The current volume, "Revelation and Rebellion," takes place in 1942 and records the Shermans’ first flush of enthusiasm for the revelation and the events that culminated in the first major conflict among Urantia believers. It provides a far more informative account of this troubled period than that found in Harold’s 1976 book, How to Know What to Believe. From the back cover: "There is a book to be written eventually in which all these matters may be brought forth. Having this book in mind, I might suggest that you keep some sort of diary for future reference. Believe me, you will very surely need it. Just think, between what I have been able to tell you and what you have learned from reading the Book, you and Martha, to my own personal knowledge, now know more of these things than any two humans have ever known before." —Harry Loose, June 14, 1942

The Sherman Diaries, Volume Two: Revelation and Rebellion 1942

Sherman Diaries, Volume Three: Aftermath of Rebellion, 1943

Volume Five of the Urantia Diaries of Harold and Martha Sherman documents the years 1946 to 1955, spanning their last year and a half as Forumites and the period leading up to the long-awaited publication of the Urantia Book.     In the summer of 1947, finding little inspiration in the Jesus papers and frustrated by the stalemate in their relationship with the Forum leaders, the Shermans decided to move from Chicago to "Ark Haven," their cottage in the Ozarks of Arkansas. The Shermans made their last appearance at 533 Diversey Parkway in December of 1947.    With Ark Haven as his home base, Harold Sherman continued a busy career as a writer and traveling lecturer. After gaining entree into the New Thought movement as a speaker and teacher in the early 1950s, he became nationally known, but he continually sought to reach the wider public through film, television and radio. During his respites in rural Arkansas, he was active in community development projects, campaigning for paved roads, electrification and tourist attractions. But, as the Cold War developed and the threat of atomic war loomed, and as UFO sightings were gaining international attention, Harold was most concerned with trying to help people realize their higher powers of mind so as to forestall disaster and steer the world in a better direction.    During these years the Shermans kept in regular contact with a few Forumites, including Elsie Baumgartner, Rachel Gusler, and Sir Hubert Wilkins. Their letters touching on matters personal, political, philosophical, and spiritual provide a glimpse into the concerns and perspectives of members of the first generation of serious students of the Urantia papers. In their travels Harold and/or Martha met or renewed their acquaintance with a number of other Forumites and former Forumites, recording their experiences in letters and diary entries. Further, Harold was instrumental in sparking San Diego businessman Webster Stafford s enthusiasm for the Urantia papers and other purported revelations. Stafford s documents, reproduced in this volume, represent the first known attempt to appreciate the Urantia papers in the broader context of comparative analysis.

The Abridged Urantia Papers

Meredith Justin Sprunger

An abridgment of the 2097-page Urantia Book. Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? No book offers such a comprehensive and detailed set of answers as the Urantia Book, a revelation of truth first published in 1955 and now available worldwide in several languages. But its size and complexity have delayed the widespread discovery of its uplifting and empowering teachings. Dr. Sprunger’s abridgment contains all the major concepts and captures the essential teachings of the 2097-page original, and closely follows the book’s format and wording. It has has been written to introduce a wider audience to the teachings of the Urantia Book, paving the way for the study of the original text.

New Age & Spirituality

<p>Is there really such a thing as heaven, where God has “prepared a place for us”? Or does life for us begin and end on planet Earth? Are all those orbs in the seemingly infinite universe just there for us to admire as we gaze up into the night sky? Or is there life on those other worlds?When we die our body remains behind on this planet, but where does the real us—soul, spirit, consciousness—go? Can something so vital one minute disappear into nothingness the next? Some say that we cannot know, that nobody has ever come back to tell us. But is this true? Many believe that angelic beings as well as “the dead” can transmit information to us telepathically via gifted human receivers, and many accounts brought through from “the other side” indicatethat the universe is teeming with life. This compilation of three popular books channeled though Anthony Borgia—Life in the World Unseen, More About Life in the World Unseen, and Here and Hereafter—will give you a glimpse of the places we are destined to inhabit when our lives on earth are over. The World Unseen is the first volume in the LIFE ON OTHER WORLDS SERIES, comprising classic accounts of the afterlife, collected from many sources. Descriptions vary, yet a thread of similiarity runs through them all, just as descriptions of life on Earth by a New Yorker, a Tahitian, and an ancient Egyptian would bear likenessess to one another. Would you get on a plane to China without first learning something about the country and its inhabitants? Probably not! Yet most of us do just this when we approach the end of our lives on earth. It is hoped that these books will serve as a travel guide as we embark on our greatest adventure—the journey into the mysterious realm beyond this world, told by those who are already there.Are these accounts true? Only you can judge that for yourself.</p>

Your Key to Happiness

<p>A self-help classic since 1935, this book will help you unlock the secrets to a happy and rewarding life! What is wrong with your thinking? Do you worry about the future—your health, your family, your finances? Do you take life too seriously? Do you lack confidence in yourself and find it difficult to make decisions? In this little volume Harold Sherman answers these questions and many more. Your Key to Happiness is a working manual of creative principles which show you how to operate the great creative power within you, your Subconscious Mind, in order that you may inherit the good things of earth—Health, Happiness and Prosperity. When you know how to control the actions of your Subconcious Mind you are able to solve your problems, overcome your worries and assume a new and optimistic attitude toward life, thus attracting better conditions to yourself. This great Law of Mind—the conviction that “the Kingdom of God is within you”—is older than Creation. But until you can consciously control the action of your Subconscious Mind you may, unwittingly, be operating it against yourself. As a result you are fundamentally responsible for the troubles that beset you. Harold Sherman gives you a definite method by which the Key to Your Inner Self can open to you a vast reservoir of creative power—power you may never have suspected exists within you. Your Key to Happiness was Harold Sherman’s first self-help book and it enjoyed many printings through the years. Endorsements: “Harold Sherman has a sound philosophy and understanding of life and people.”—Dr. Norman Vincent Peale “I can wholeheartedly well recommend Harold Sherman’s books to all who are in search of self-development.” —Dr. Ernest Holmes, author of Science of Mind “Harold Sherman gives you the keys to Universal Power. He opens up areas in your consciousness and reveals secret powers you never dreamed you had.” —Rev. Paul Martin Brunet, author of Master Meditations for Life, Health, Success</p>

Personal Transformation

Where do we go after we die? Is there really such a thing as heaven, where God has “prepared a place for us”? When we die our body remains behind on this planet, but where does the real us—soul, spirit, consciousness—go? Some say that we cannot know, that nobody has ever come back to tell us. Yet many believe that “the dead”—as well as angelic beings who have never been human—can convey information telepathically to gifted human receivers about the afterlife and the worlds beyond, and that these accounts from “the other side” indicate that the universe is teeming with life. The Angels’ Diary is one such account. First published in 1903, the instructive messages contained in this little volume, transmitted through the hand of  Elizabeth Maud Weatherhead, have given comfort to many. The authors say, “We pray that the teachings of this book may furnish food for thought to all men, that it may lift the shadow from troubled hearts, that it may sow good seed in the soul of the unbeliever, that it may give new encouragement and hope to the discouraged, and the promise of eternal health to those who have become weakened in mind and body. May it go forth and bear good results.” The Life on Other Worlds Series is a selection of classic accounts of the afterlife and otherworldly life, told by those who are already there or who have been shown glimpses of what awaits us when our lives on earth are over. Descriptions vary, yet a thread of similarity runs through them all. May this collection serve as a travel guide as we embark on the greatest adventure of all—the journey into the mysterious realm beyond this world.
