The tea connection, the current known state of the Urantian nation, and concluding links.
Urantia Part II
Urantia: Bureaucracy of the Cosmos
My curiosity in Urantia, (curiosity, not to be mistaken with interest), was entirely due to their very tidy-looking book. I’ve been interested in cult theories, the occult, and all other things arcane or esoteric for a few years now. Most of the books look like they were made by Ren Faire workers. This whole Mystical...
