There is a little piece of the Deity in each of us, called a Thought Adjuster. When we die, we’re reincarnated from planet-to-planet, then finally to Paradise, where the Deity lives. Our Earth is called Urantia, and it’s number 606 in a planetary group named Satania, the headquarters of which is called Jerusem. When evolution is complete, each of these worlds will have 100,000 local universes with 10 million inhabited planets. The book also purports that there have been many, many sons of God like Jesus on many different planets, because there are a billion worlds.
There’s even a famous operatic cycle based on it, as well as at least four fantasy novels. Though it has just a few thousand followers, the book has been translated into 20 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, and Portuguese. The first three parts of The Urantia Book describe a complicated universe with invisible seraphim and spirit and semi-spirit beings of all sorts the last part tells the story of Jesus’ entire life in detail, all 36 years. “Lucifer, Satan, Melchizedek, Adam and Eve, and Jesus are all extra-terrestrial beings who have visited Earth,” Mo Siegel, who is still intimately involved with The Urantia Book and the Urantia Book Fellowship, tells us in “The Twenty Most-Asked Questions.” In fact, Adam and Eve were brought to Earth to “upstep the human race” (more on that later).

In You’ve GOT to Read This Book! 55 People Tell the Story of the Book That Changed Their Life, Siegel discloses that the ideals he gathered from The Urantia Book guided how he ran Celestial Seasonings from the beginning and provided a moral compass for himself and his employees. In fact, the religious text is responsible for much more than the name of the company.
In no time the friends were sauntering into the local bank to get a loan for their new business, “wearing jeans, smelling of herbs, and armed with Tupperware containers of Mo’s 36 and Sleepytime blends.” They called their company Celestial Seasonings, after co-founder Lucinda Ziesing’s flowername.īut there might be another reason they named it “celestial.” Mo Siegel and John Hay, two of the founders, were avid believers in a new-age bible called The Urantia Book, which followers call “an epochal revelation authored solely by celestial beings.” The book touches upon everything from mind control to a eugenics plot to eliminate the “inferior races” of our great nation.
