Well, Thank You Mom and Dad for clearing this whole mess up for once and for 
all.   And, your apologies are accepted for me and my mother and my father and 
for anyone else that may have been "damaged" by those "mistakes", especially 
those persons of color.

Now, if you could do one more "little" thing for all concern:  Give the Urantia 
Foundation the authority they will need to restate or delete those damaging 
"mistakes" so future readers and generations of the UB will not be harmed in 
anyway.  That, in my opinion, would pretty much correct the mistakes.  That's if 
the intent is for ALL of the races on this planet to read, study and embrace the 
UB as the Revelation that it is.  And, I do believe that IS the  intent.

My preacher father has written over twelve books himself and occasionally he 
will get a message from the editor or publisher concerning a misspelled word or 
error or mistake that need to be corrected.  He simply makes the corrections 
needed and forward them to the printer for the next printing of his books.  Now, 
if a mere human can do this, surely the Gods can too.  I'm just saying.

An acknowledge "mistake" that is acknowledge to be doing "damage" by the very 
Gods that authorized the book, should not be left in the UB.  Seems like a no 
brainer to me.

So now, I will pour myself another glass of wine as I head back to my closet, 
leaving the door open just a bit, so I can see how my family on the tml channel 
handles this "Truth" from our Divine Parents.

Always with Brotherly Love

STuTe

(The origin of the  error)
 
Dear Mother Spirit and  Michael,    Once again we  bid you a hearty welcome. 
 Come be  with us.  Come fill our hearts and  our minds and our souls with your 
wonderful words.  We do enjoy seeing things from your point  of view.  It helps 
us see ourselves  and our situation in the light of your undying, beautiful life 
support. 

 
Tonight I would ask you  to address a question that’s come up about the Urantia 
book.  It seems to rather baldly state that  certain of the colored races of our 
planet are superior or inferior with respect  to one another.  Would you comment  
on these statements?  They seem, at  least on their face, to be rather 
unmistakable and yet at the same time  incomprehensible if, from no other point 
of view, other statements that God is  no respecter of persons.  It also  states 
in the Urantia book that things like racism, or sexism, or  cultural-ism--any 
kind of hubris, arrogance, and looking down on ones’  fellows--only serve to 
produce social smugness in those supposedly favored or  luckily born, and a 
sense of social resignation in those who are made to, or  even feel themselves 
to be inferior.   So we ask you to please address  this question.  Amen.  
 
NEBADONIA:  Good evening, this is Nebadonia, your  Mother Spirit.  Michael and I 
are  pleased once again to acknowledge and embrace your welcome with all the 
mind and  heart and soul that we have.  We  most joyfully welcome your request, 
and let it be known from the outset that I  am speaking for Michael and myself, 
for on this issue there is absolutely no  disagreement between the two of us.  
However unique, discrete personal beings we are, we are also of a  spiritual 
unity with each other far, far beyond your comprehension.  We’ve teased you to 
imagine an old  married couple who have been together now for some four hundred 
billion years,  and proud parents to nigh onto four million inhabited worlds 
somewhat similar to  your own.
 
(The colored races of  Urantia) 
 
So let us look at the  colored races on an evolutionary planet.  As you have 
been informed, the Life Carriers hailing from the  Constellation level of Local 
Universe organization and hierarchy of creative  authority, by the phenomena of 
universe reflectivity-spiritual communication  across dozens of dimensions of 
reality, are fully in touch with each other in  different Constellations.  And 
so  when life is started on an evolutionary world they have the history of the 
whole  Local Universe’s life-evolution riding along with them.  What was 
initiated here on Urantia was  the culmination of all these billions of years of 
life experimentation and  result.  You can use your  imaginations and get some 
feeling for what happens on an evolutionary world and  just how precious we 
consider this implantation of life to be.  While not the only purpose of the  
universes of time and space, the creation and evolution of your order of living  
being is one of the major ones.  Indeed, you’ve been informed that a great deal 
of the activity out here  in time and space is devoted to your creation and your 
development on toward  Paradise. 

 
So think of this  gigantic ancient context, my children, when you think of the 
Life Carriers  coming to a planet and starting that original DNA which, after 
evolving through  the plant and then the animal kingdoms will, after a billion 
years or so,  eventuate in a creature of will dignity very similarly on millions 
of  worlds.  This is a controlled  evolution by way of the Life Carriers and my 
own Mind/Spirit Adjutants—the  dimensions of my own consciousness, so that when 
your first human beings, Andon  and Fonta, made contact with my adjutants of 
worship and wisdom and received  their Thought Adjusters, the fact registered 
instantaneously many light-years  away.  Yet within this gigantic  context of 
consciousness and control involving so many dimensions of reality,  there is 
also the working of the Unqualified Absolute rendering each individual  planet 
unique and a bit unexpected in its life development for all our proposed  plans.
 
Potential within  Urantia’s original life implantation was the eventual 
segregation of the  aboriginal human beings into different races of color.  
I.e.—this was fully intended and  provided for and is nearly universal on the 
evolutionary planets at a certain  stage of their human development.  Different 
races of color will begin to emerge quite naturally, usually  taking place over 
thousands of years and under the guidance of a loyal Planetary  Prince and his 
corporal staff.  As  each new color comes along with its unique essence and 
different qualities to  add to the planetary stock, these are foreseen, planned 
for, and welcomed, for  the essential purpose for these divisions into different 
racial characteristics  is for the variety and wealth of the whole humanity.  
Each different color adds something  unique to the mix.  

 
But Urantia is—if you  will—extra-unique in that this diversion into different 
colored races did not  occur over thousands of years but within a single 
generation!  This was somewhat, but not totally, due  to the fact that your 
world, Urantia, is a decimal planet, the one evolutionary  world in ten whereon 
the Life Carriers are permitted a larger degree of  experimentation in advancing 
the qualities of personal life in our Local  Universe.  And so in one generation  
you had all six colors emerging at once.  As you’ve also been informed, once 
these different colored groups  multiplied to the large-tribal stage, an 
incessant warfare broke out that  eventually obliterated several colors as 
distinct types and lead to the  dispersal of the others across the world.  You 
recall our many lessons on the ferocity of these primitive peoples  and their 
innate distrust and territorial possessiveness with regards to their  neighbors, 
some of which still persists to the present day.  On Urantia, as contrasted to 
other  worlds where each new color was welcomed and incorporated into the 
others, the  different races spread out away from the areas of conflict and more 
or less  self-segregated up until recent times in the so-called Age of  
Exploration.
 
Yet also keep in mind,  my children, the original diversification was five 
hundred thousand years ago  and, except for rare bands who were early on totally 
isolated, there has been a  wide degree of inter-racial mixing due to not only 
warfare and its attendant  capture of slaves who were subject to indiscriminate 
sex and interbreeding, but  also through the peaceful intermixing of peoples due 
to travel and trade, and  the enormous migrations back and forth across the face 
of the  earth.
 
(Mistakes in the Urantia  book)  
 
Within this context of  original life-implantation intent and subsequent world 
history, the statements  in the Urantia book about inferior and superior races 
are more than unfortunate;  they are grievous errors, absolute mistakes with 
respect to the connotations  given them.  Each colored race has  something 
special to offer, and this is the main purpose for racial  diversification in 
the first place.  There are no inferior races just as there are no inferior 
personal  beings.  You as a human being are  not inferior to a midwayer, or a 
seraphim, or a Melchizedek.  You are not some random mistake of  nature but a 
part of not only God’s plans, but of Michael’s and my own.  There is a hierarchy 
of abilities and  perceptions of reality across the different orders of personal 
beings, but  referring to differences within the human order as inferior or 
superior implies  a qualitative differential of personality itself that is 
indeed not only—as I  said—unfortunate, but open to endless misinterpretations 
of historical/cultural  differences in the human family as well.  

 
We would also like to  discourage any notion whatsoever that this mistake was 
deliberately put in the  book to test you.  While we applaud  those of you who 
more or less disregarded these statements, or saw them for the  mistakes they 
were—so much in conflict with what you noted in your introduction,  you can 
trust that these were not in any way intentional falsehoods if only  because of 
the entire rest of the book; i.e. a hallmark of wisdom being a sense  of 
proportion.  Beyond that, any  deliberate inclusion of a falsehood in an epochal 
revelation would be a terrible  mistake on a whole higher level of intent and 
one that, frankly, would never  have occurred to the spiritual authors.  In 
addition, the Urantia book itself states it is not to be considered  some kind 
of absolute truth, some lifeless dogma, but on the contrary; every  written 
expression is limited to its unique moment in time and place and the  
development of language and concept in which it appears—in this case, late  
1930’s America.  Its purpose was and  is to expand as best it can those very 
limitations by introducing new words and  concepts in a trustworthy, 
cosmos-broad context that will resonate with the  mind/spirit sensibilities 
within you as valid  information.
 
The greatest damage of  this unintended mistake is that it has discouraged folks 
from continuing who  might otherwise have gained a deep soulful resonance with 
the rest of the  book.  Think of the dozens of human  disciplines of thought and 
spirit that were included in order for the book to be  self-validating.  We were 
fully  aware when we included so many things from theology to geology, to 
cosmology, to  physics and chemistry, to philosophy and planetary history; on 
and on through  the evolution of life and humankind, the family and government, 
culture and  religion; the day-to-day, year-by-year unique account of Jesus’ 
life among you  and the world in which he lived: you would have to trust not 
only us but your  own deepest instincts, understanding, and values to realize 
why we would never,  ever, deliberately include a falsehood in what was and 
still is meant to be an  epochal revelation to all of mankind’s races—literally 
inaugurating a new epoch  of understanding somewhat comparable and allied to the 
four previous: the coming  of your Planetary Prince, Adam and Eve, Machiventa 
Melchizedek, and Jesus of  Nazareth.
 
As Michael said in his  last lesson, there has been a long historical evolution 
in terms of the  specialization and concentration of authority and power along 
social-cultural,  political, religious, and territorial lines; yet these 
authorities are slowly  giving way to a wide-spread blossoming of individual 
liberty and  responsibility.  We gave a lesson  one time on how this progress is 
contra-distinct from your familiar saying, “You  can’t see the forest for the 
trees.”—i.e. you can’t see the whole—the forest,  for all the individual trees 
in the way.  Whereas each of you—individually, personally—evolved your 
understanding  of people the other way, from a limited number of close 
individuals but from  your immediate culture’s notions of human differences.  
For while you were born into a specific  cultural encompassing, only one at a 
time did you meet and include more and more  individuals into your life.  Your  
progress was from the cultural attitude you were given, to each individual; from  
seeing in terms of inexperienced adolescent generalities to being able to see  
individuals through screens of prejudice and outworn cultural traditions and  
relationships; i.e. you couldn’t at first see the trees for the forest.  Yet 
your soul-reward was and remains  those very people you came to know as 
individuals.  

 
You’ve only to think of  the obscene horrors and spiritual slavery that have 
been committed in the  justification of these generalities of race, sex, and 
culture to appreciate what  it takes to see and accept, to wholly relate and 
respond to whomever it is  standing right in front of someone.  Ironically, with 
respect to race, it’s only recently that people in  general have been able to 
perceive the spiritual unity of humanity within each  person across these 
prejudiced differences.  In the initial contacts between peoples  of such 
different cultures based on vastly different technologies, locations and  
climate, there occurred a near maximization of the illusion of racial  
superiority and inferiority.  Almost  all of what were considered differences in 
race were only—but  profoundly—differences in separate cultures evolved over 
tens of thousands of  years.  Add to this the universal  assumption that might 
made right, that whoever was more successful in warfare  was unquestionably the 
superior race with the superior deities at their  back.  Even this too still 
prevails  among those who resort to violence to demonstrate—they feel--the  
superiority of their faith.  

 
So, my children, Michael  and I invite you to see in both ways of looking at the 
present human  situation.  See the differences  between cultures and beliefs for 
their intrinsic uniqueness, for this is the  wealth of your entire planet’s 
history.  Your modern technology permits you to capture these intrinsic 
qualities  for all future times even as they are profoundly changing due to 
increasing  contact with each other.  Glory in  the enormous diversity of the 
human race.  Yet while you see these various collective associations of 
people—the  forest in our analogy—strive also to open your heart and your mind 
to register  the soul and character of the individual or individuals you 
contact, either  personally or through your media.  Be able to relate as 
individuals of spiritual equality for all the  soul-wealth that this promises.
 
(Collectives and  individuals)  
 
Whenever you contemplate  people in any collective sense—politically, socially, 
religiously, culturally,  racially—whatever—be humbly aware this perception is 
largely your creation from  your own point of view, however it may be shared 
with others of a like mind and  position.  Obviously such  perceptions change 
with the point of view: from within or without, in contention  or agreement, 
inherited or personally acquired.  Take responsibility within yourself for  own 
position and how it may be affecting your vision.  Strive to be truly 
independent, what you  call being your own person.  In  spite of what consensus 
your group may be inadvertently or deliberately trying  to enforce, your own 
self-conscious and humble opinion, derived from your own  unique history, is 
what is needed the most.  It’s what your world needs now, this  blossoming of 
individual liberty and responsibility, especially with the  destructive power 
such collectives as nation-states, or even smaller groups,  possess.
 
This is what is  happening now with the coming of international, instantaneous 
communication and  response across the oceans and continents, across the 
hundreds of little  mini-cultures, across the races and the sexes, across 
societies, political  parties, economies, and religions.  As Michael teased you 
with the idea of the Renaissance which is upon you,  it is indeed a topsy-turvy 
time of all this new interaction.  But my children!—if you could only see  the 
spiritual glow of the earth beginning to blossom like never before.  This is 
where your perceptions of each  other as individuals, each a unique creation of 
God’s, each with a unique  background and experience, and soul, and character: 
this is the promise and the  fulfillment of the ages.  This is  the world’s 
soul-wealth being presented to you, yours for the response-ability  you bring to 
it.  

 
So joyfully respond, my  children.  Fill your souls with each  other.  Glory 
that the potential for  these different races of different cultures was part of 
the Original Plan—the  variety of humanity that has eventuated for you to 
embrace.  Feel my presence deep within you.  Heal yourselves of all the fear, as 
well  as the arrogance and hubris you might have entertained once upon a time.  
Grow out of it into an appreciation and  respect for all that is.  And be in  my 
love.  

 
If you have any comments  or questions this evening, this is my delight.
 
Student:  Thank you, Mother, for clearing up that  one point in the Urantia 
book.  That’s all I have to say.
 
(Jesus’ emphasis on the  individual)
 
NEBADONIA:  Thank you, my son.  It needed to be put in context and  stated.  
Michael and I, as Mother  and Father Spirit who oversaw the book, do apologize 
most sincerely for all the  harm those few, terribly mistaken sentences gave.  
One purpose of Michael’s teachings as  Jesus was just this, this emphasis upon 
the individual at a historical time in  which what you were—what tribe, whether 
slave or free, rich or poor—was so much  more important than who you were. This 
is largely why his teachings were so  immediately taken to heart and welcomed by 
those who had so little social power  or material wealth; to know that though 
they might be a slave or menial worker  being treated as an animal, they too had 
a soul and eternal prospects just as  the emperor.  And be in my  love.
 
Student:  Thank you,  Mother.
 
Student:  I don’t know what the error was.  Was it human, or  what?
 
(The origin of the  error)
 
NEBADONIA:  It was a combination of both human and  spiritual author, not human 
as it was originally given but as it was later  wrongly taken, yet also that the 
authors did not catch it in the reactions of  the first people to read it in 
time to correct it.  They were just too easily glossed  over—the statements of 
inferior or superior races.  

 
The degree to which  individuals are more or less blessed in innate abilities 
with respect to racial  heredity has been misinterpreted all throughout your 
history across the enormous  divide of different cultures and customs.  Within a 
few generations, if not immediately, the native intelligence of  any race can 
adapt itself to a completely different set of social/technological  
circumstances.  Beyond this, the  differences in abilities between individuals 
within any one race--whether  physical, mental, or spiritual/creative—overwhelm 
by far any differences between  the races.  Yet historically this  has been a 
very recent, and not altogether accepted, discovery just in the last  century or 
so when there were more and more individuals of different races born  and raised 
in cultures not originally their own.  

 
In your own country’s  history, look at pictures of the first European settlers 
as contrasted to the  Native Americans they met and consider the differences not 
only in appearances  but also in language and customs that derived from vastly 
different notions as  to what was real—no less.  Now  contrast those pictures 
with ones of individuals from both European and Native  American backgrounds 
when both are wearing identical, modern suit-and-tie with  the same hair style 
and accessories, speaking the same language equally well and  sharing the same 
assumptions about reality.  You might wonder: where did all the  racial 
difference go?
 
The associations and  connotations given those unfortunate words in the text are 
pure mistakes, and  recognized as such by most readers.  Our mistake was in not 
anticipating the wrongful conclusions these words  could engender, especially in 
those who would consider the book to be an  immaculate pronouncement wherein one 
mistake would invalidate the whole.  Perfection is something we all aspire  
to—even Michael and I.  It is part  of the general evolution of the cosmos.  But 
it is the better part of humility to see it as a goal rather than a  
possession.  Again: every  manifestation in time and space is conditioned by 
those very uniquely occurring  dimensions which give each living event its 
equally unique signature and  glory.  You are learning to evaluate  events from 
the point of view of their own time and place.  This is the further evolution of 
wisdom  we see coming into fuller bloom.  

 
In this critical time as  previously isolated great cultures of the world come 
into ever more intimate  contact, we see the hearts and the minds and the souls 
of people all over the  world opening to embrace their planetary neighbors and 
perceive what has always  been there: their transcendent common humanity right 
in each and every one.  

 
So rest well, my  children, with something to sleep on, something to look 
forward to tomorrow: all  those folks out there all so strange, so different.  
Can you see that great one thing in  their eyes?  Can you see the  character in 
their faces?  Can you  feel your own heart reaching out to them?  Then you are 
truly blessed.  Either way: you are in my love.  Good evening.
