The Transhumans of Pre-history According to the Urantia Revelation

Byron Belitsos

Hi, everybody. Again, my name is Byron, and I’m going to go ahead and get a little bit of a picture of the market. When I look at this projector, I can this is a symbol of how precarious technology is. It looks like it’s ready to fall off the stage. And that’s a little bit related to my theme.

Byron Belitsos

Hank, thanks for allowing me to do this. This is pretty rare. You usually don’t see people talking about the Rancher book in public places. To be a kind of an inwardly looking organization. So I’m more of an evangelist. I’m trying to move this out as a publisher, and I publish books about it. It. I’m also putting on a major conference. It’s a first of its kind, it’s an introductory conference. It’s in mid-June. You can find out about it at our little booth over there.

Byron Belitsos

Um Henry uh and I were talking about publicity and I said, you know, maybe there’s a weird factor that you could use in your publicity because we have Mormon, Uranian, Ra’elian, Wiccan. Uh I don’t know if you use that for your publicity. But there’s a weird factor to this, but I think it’s also pretty awesome to look at the scope of what the Urancha book is doing. Because those that are into this think of it as a revelatory text. I call it the Urantia Revelation. It’s mainly called the Urantia Papers, the Urantia Book, published in 1955. And I’m going to just get right into this. There’s a lot of slides, and my promise is to get through these slides before the The heat death of the universe. So be be patient with me. So go ahead. Is this clicking it forward? Which uh button? Okay.

Byron Belitsos

So these are the key questions. Can the orange book be trusted as a source? Even if you don’t accept its revelatory status, it was highly controversial. Can you trust it? Secondly, Were there transhumans in the past? Or was there a transhumanist element of the distant past? And we’re going to address that a lot here.

Byron Belitsos

Will transhumans evolve in the future? So I use transhumans as a term referring to a type of human. I prefer to think of it as a perfecting human or a transformed human, but I’ll use the term transhumans as well. I’m going to use this working definition from Wikipedia. Transhumanism has a goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition with the use of technologies like this. Item, leading to such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the term post-human.

Byron Belitsos

The premise I have is that only a spiritually and integrally informed. Transhumanism is desirable and sustainable. I really mean transhumanism more in the sense of enhancement, as Ted Peters is talking about. There are three factors that underlie this assumption or premise. One is our ignorance of deep history, which the Ranch Book fills in Among many other things, there’s a kind of theological poverty and even spiritual poverty that is a conditioning element. Third, there’s a contamination of transhumanism by reductionism and materialism, which I think it it it needn’t have because there there are many uh as Ted pointed out, there are religious elements and philosophic elements that That are far beyond the kind of gross materialism I find with some transhumanism.

Byron Belitsos

These are hypotheses that I’m working on. Those who read the text are often thinking about these issues. One is this notion of ancient astronauts. That’s not a Uranche book term. Popular term, this term of Anunnaki. How many have heard of Anunnaki? So the Anunnaki, so-called from Sitchin’s work, is roughly the same idea as in the Orancha book, There Were Beings. Who came here a long time ago. So that’s one of them they interbred. That’s one of the working sort of hypotheses. Second, Adam and Eve were real beings, according to the Rancher book. They were genetic uplifters, and that’s kind of the core of what I’m talking about today.

Byron Belitsos

Third, with lacking celestial oversight. Because such experiments now lack celestial oversight, they are prone to failure. Third fourth Creating transhumans, if we take on such a project, requires ethical, spiritual depth that is now missing. It could be attained, but it’s currently Obviously, to me, missing. And finally, spirituality, ET, celestial interaction, and afterlife, those domains I think of as being the place where to place the transhumanist project because I’m in generally in the transhumanist project understood from the from the evolutionary spiritual cosmic point of view.

Byron Belitsos

This is the book that Ted was talking about. I’ll have copies out over there. They’re still in the car. I published this book really not knowing much about transhumanism. Of amazed at what a big, important movement it is. Here’s an endorsement by someone in the movement that some of you may know. Know.

Byron Belitsos

Main features of the talk: I want to introduce the ranch revelation in a general way, pretty tough to do in a half hour. We’re going to look at what so-called genetic interventions in the distant past. We’re going to look at scientific support for that claim in the Arantia book. I’m going to try to offer a perspective, an integral perspective, and look at the future of trans possible hu hu futures. Of transhumanism.

Byron Belitsos

So, what is the Urantia book? These are core ethical teachings. God indwells each of us. This is a transcendent and imminent deity, it’s a pan-Enthe. Philosophy. Love God and others as yourself, the golden rule, right out of the Bible. Soul ascension, also right out of the Bible. Of Platonism and the Bible. The Orancha book has a massive detailing revelation, in my view, of the afterlife and eternal life. And that could be called post-human. Definitely. The universe is evolutionary. What’s interesting about the Ranch Book over the Bible and other scriptures, it is primarily an evolutionary text and it has very deep deep evolutionary theory, the likes of which still have not seen a match to that other than certain advanced postmodern theologians are coming to what I think is the position of the Orancha book. But the Orancha Book came out in 1955.

Byron Belitsos

You can read this. This is a typical quote from the Orancha Book. It speaks of Other worlds that are inhabited by humans, in fact, trillions of them. And they have humanoid beings of different kinds, and all of them are searching for their deity.

Byron Belitsos

The parts of the text, part one is what I personally consider to be the revelatory part of the Arantia book. It can’t be really matched with other human ideas except in broad outline. Part two is about the local universe. It states that. There are local universes of inhabited planets. So of these trillions of inhabited planets, there are units of 10 million inhabited planets. That are called local universes. Part three is on the history of our planet. Urantia is the name of the planet, so there’s a revealed history going back to deep, deep history. Prehistory. Very far prehistory. Part four: a lot of people don’t know that the Rancher Book has the purported angelic record of the life and teachings of Jesus. It’s 700 plus pages. And if you read anything, read that.

Byron Belitsos

So Uranche is their name for our planet. There being the upstairs. Their name that they coined for the text.

Byron Belitsos

There’s certain things that are spiritually incorrect, particularly in the Bay Area, about the Rancher Book One. God is a father, but also a mother, but this notion of God as a father is very prominent in the Orancha book, but it’s a mother-father deity. That the divine is personal, and today we’re supposed to not believe that, especially if you live. Than like Marin County, God is an impersonal, non-dual, not something separate that’s self-aware. The Orancha book states that the divine is a self-aware deity. Third, that Jesus was incarnate. Deity as claimed in Christianity. Satan and Lucifer were real. That’s one of the very controversial parts of the ranch book. It states that these beings were fallen angels. And we’re going to get into that a lot more. And finally, that reincarnation, which seems to be all the rage these days, is only a technical possibility in the Oranta book. Mainly about soul ascension into the afterlife.

Byron Belitsos

There’s politically incorrect parts of the Arancha book, in particular the genetic theory. The races do differ genetically. That’s what we’re going to cover a little bit. Third, second, that Atlantis, what we call Atlantis, is actually what the ranch book calls the Garden of Eden. Oh there’s a whole st back story on that I’m going to get to. It actually is an advocate of democratic world federation. And for a text that really came through in the thirties, 40s, that’s very early advocacy. Of a world government that’s democratic, elected from below, not an elite global government run from above, which we appear to have. Right now. And the Orange book is very strong on philosophic spirituality: that thinking is a route to the divine. And it’s deeply philosophic in the classical sense, drawing from Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Hegel, especially elements that you can see that are That are philosophic.

Byron Belitsos

There are misconceptions, at least in my circles, people often come up and say, Man, this is just so weird. You must be an oddball. And it’s thought that the ranch book is for know oddball people but the fact of the matter is it’s actually a big hit in Latin America in the Spanish translation it’s selling very very briskly in Latin America it’s in Many other languages throughout the world, well known in France, well known in Germany, in these translations, and many other translations. India, there’s a lot of people reading in India. There’s an Arabic translation, there’s a Chinese translation. Japanese translations, and so they’re fanning out all over the world. So it’s not just something that’s a you know Bay Area strange people read it. To be though.

Byron Belitsos

A lot of people think of the Urancha book as hopelessly obscure, sort of like reading Blavatsky, but actually, as an editor, professional editor and publisher, I’ve I find it that it has sparkling prose. It’s hard to find a sentence that it’s not well constructed in 2,000 pages. Grammatically amazing. However, I would say as an editor, it’s an earlier generation of style. It’s not really our current style. It’s long Sentences is a more complex structure, but it’s very sparkling prose and it’s full of verifiable facts in science and history and other Domains.

Byron Belitsos

Third, that people think of the Rancher book as too otherworldly. It’s just too out there and too sort of bizarre. But I think of it as kind of both otherworldly and Buried down to earth because the revelators, as we call them, the celestial authors, state that they extracted from human thought. 1,000 plus of the best ideas ever attained by humans, extracted those and then wrote the text around them. Those, and then went beyond those. And you can see elements from all kinds of thinkers, and people have done this: both ancient Greek philosophers, medieval theologians. And then contemporary up until the time the Oranch book came through, which is the mid-20th century, you can find the human sources. There’s a whole cottage industry of finding the human sources of the orange book. Book, and it’s quite an interesting subject.

Byron Belitsos

And fourth, a lot of people think the orange book is, you know, kind of older revelations, sort of like You know, sort of like Blavatsky and things from the 19th century. It’s often thought of that way. And what has been happening is there’s an update of its teaching. That is now occurring since the 90s. There is a new renditions of these teachings that are being transmitted through To your Rancher book readers, is a massive mediumship movement, the likes of which I’ve never heard of, because there’s six almost 60,000 pages of transcribed new materials. That’s a whole other subject. I’ve got a few books based on that.

Byron Belitsos

A lot of people don’t know this, but The ranch book was well known in the Haight Ashbury, actually in the sixties. It got around. Not sure how. Hendricks loved the Ranch Book. You can see in his biography. And Jared Garcia, I verified that because I live in San Rafael. Where he’s from, and he loved the ranch book and died with a copy next to his bed. Santana is a big proponent these days. This is a quote from his Facebook site. He was. Reading the section about World Democratic Federation and posted that on his Facebook site. We found out that Clinton was a ranch book student. And I know this because somebody in Special Forces was being decorated by him in the Oval Office some years ago, and this guy, this student, Special Forces Guy was a Uranta reader, and he saw on Clinton’s desk an open Urantra book. He also was decorated a second time. The same guy went back and And talked to Clinton. So twice, this guy has talked to him, and Clinton said he really loves the book. And his book was dog-eared and had coffee stains. That sort of thing. Patu Bantan, interview into reggae. For some reason, a lot of reggae people are into the Rancha book. He is just quit being a tour. Artist and is now a touring minister. These are all translations: Russian, German, Korean. etc.

Byron Belitsos

So why you know you ask why do we need some revelatory text and these claims usually translate To be fraudulent, hoaxes, you know, bizarre things, you know, channeled material. So, really, I think there’s this notion in the ranch book, at least, that you have evolution, which is a natural process. Narantcha Book has in its part three an amazing account of evolution from over billions of years leading up to what it calls the implantation of life. single cells that have all genetic potentials. And these are allowed these things are allowed to evolve naturally according to So more or less Darwinian laws. Uh but at a certain point, superhumans intervene. And they do this because there’s a kind of rhythm of evolution and revelation. Also, the Ranch Book says that there is a revelatory dimension to all human life that we are receiving under the right conditions. Revelation, they call it auto-revelation. This is, you know, basically a Christian notion of grace. And the Rancher Book claims that there are five great revelations. We’ll look at that in a second. And i in particular, this is the operation of divine grace, that in times of great travail there will be a revelation. However, they usually wait till the last minute from what I I can tell. So they allow things to get very dire to the point that people are ready and sort of on their knees, so to speak. And then A gift will be given. And it’s purported that the Oranch book was given in anticipation of the ravages of World War II. And it was really completed during World War War II. We can talk about how it was. coming through. And so it was given in recognition of the travail of World War II.

Byron Belitsos

This is a thing you can’t read. I’ve got a handout back there for you. This is my chart of the entire thing in one page. And it covers the hist history dementia.

Byron Belitsos

So the first, I said there were five epical revelations. First one is 500,000 years ago. It is something referred to by Zechariah Sitchin. If any of you read his many books, he says there was an intervention by the Anaki half a million years ago. So it’s an odd match with him because also Sitchin states, based on the cuneiform tablets, that there was a rebellion against these animals. Anunnaki 200,000 years ago, and oddly, the ranch book has the same date for rebellion. However, it diverges and it states that there were these supernatural beings. Lucifer and Satan, who led a rebellion of the angels. It says that not only was our planet involved in this, that is, the angels of the planet. Involved in this, but 37 planets total in the local universe followed a rebellion. The angels of the Earth, for the most part, went over to the rebellion. And as a result of this, after giving all beings, all angels, there’s a Huge angelic hierarchy in the Oranchebook. When they all had their chance to decide which side they’d be on, then these planets were quarantined. from other planets. And it’s a long story why, but they were all quarantined and we were quarantined as well. And we’re going to talk about quarantine in a minute.

Byron Belitsos

This is the purported location of this arrival of these ancient astronauts. That’s the Persian Gulf, and it’s a place they call Dalmatia.

Byron Belitsos

This is, again, a revelatory intervention of beings who come down to teach. The second, we’re going to run this quick, come back to it again. The second of these divine interventions was much, much, much later, 37,000 years ago. In this location, this is Cyprus, present-day Cyprus, Syria. We’re calling it Atlantis here. It’s actually in the ranch book called Eden. The mission of this second great event was race blending. This mission failed. Why? Because there had been an angelic rebellion and there was a dark side component that Interfered with it. We’ll get to this some more.

Byron Belitsos

There’s a third intervention, according to our Book much, much, much later again. And some of you know from reading the Bible that in Genesis there’s a being named Melchizedek. And Jesus is referred to as a priest after the order of Melchizedek. There’s not much about it, there’s a lot of myth about it. According to Ranch Book, Melchizedek was a real personality. The Bible speaks of him. Entering into the tent that Abraham was in, stating, you know, you’re going to become the founder of this new lineage, which became the Hebrews. And the Ranch Book says a real person, but that’s beyond the scope of our discussion.

Byron Belitsos

There’s a fourth great epical revelation, and this is the incarnation of Christ. Basically, this Christian Beliefs are about him are generally correct, according to the Urancha Book. The Urancha Book contains this revealed biography. The one thing it rejects from Christian theology is the blood atonement doctrine. It vociferously rejects that doctrine as a pagan doctrine that was imported.

Byron Belitsos

The so-called fifth epical Revelation, Urania book. This group here were the core group. This man here is Dr. William Sadler, who is a physician and psychiatrist. He taught at the University of Chicago. They brought him this phenomenon to debunk, and he was a debunker of spiritualism. But he could not debunk it, and so he joined it. And he became the leader. This is his son, his wife, and their kind of secretary. And these are the people known as the Contact Commission. They had direct celestial contact. This group here is the original group that were the recipients of the Materials. These materials, briefly, would come through an unknown subject. Some people think it was Edgar Casey. And it’s something like the Edgar Cayce phenomenon. However, there is no evidence of him speaking it. The evidence seems to be that these chapters materialized. I know it sounds Weird, but there’s historians working on this. This group would ask questions. They would read a chapter, ask questions, and the celestials would revise it based on the Q<unk>A. And this went on for over 20 years. Secret until they had 196 chapters. This is a big editorial project ending up with 2,000 pages.

Byron Belitsos

The current epoch is known as the correcting time. This 1111 is a whole nother subject we shouldn’t get into today, but what we’re being told now in these update transmission Is the Rancher book the textbook, and we, the Celestials, are teaching from a textbook, and we’re updating it. And that’s called the Correcting Time And that’s correcting the errors of our history because of the rebellion, the Lucifer Rebellion. These are some books I published on it. And this new era is called the Magisterial Mission. It’s controversial actually within the Urantia community.

Byron Belitsos

So the Rancher book has a cosmology that is a notion that the universe has a center. And I actually wrote a paper for Ted when I was a student. Of his at Berkeley, Ted and Bob Russell, in a course there on this. And it’s something Einstein considered that the university Has a center around which things rotate. Of course, a center is not literally a center, it’s outside of space and time. But here’s some illustration of it. That this center, which is outside of space and time, has all the galaxies rotating around it. They’re also, we have the Hubble redshift. They’re expanding outward, but they’re also rotating counterclockwise. This is another artist’s rendition. So this is the center. Of the universe, which is called the central or the mother universe. That is the source universe of the Big Bang and of evolution. Outside of it are galaxies that are inhabited. And then outside of that are uninhabited galaxies. Here’s another version of this, and this is an artist’s representation showing the center, which is non-visi not visible in reality. And oops, sorry. And rotating around it, counterclockwise, are these inhabited galaxies, and ours is right here. And this is not quite correct because they’re actually galaxy clusters. And I can’t remember the local galaxy clusters. Anybody remember the name of that? There’s a cluster of galaxies that we are rotating around. And anyway, anyway, I can’t remember the name. But it is believed by Uranians, some of us, that. That galaxy cluster is this group here. These are all inhabited, and it’s rotating. Around itself and then rotating around the center. And also, there’s the redshift outwards, so there’s a lot going on there. This is another depiction of it. These bands of galaxies are like the Great Wall in current astronomy, and they’re purported, they’re stated to be uninhabited. But the inner group of galaxies are inhabited, or actually inhabited.

Byron Belitsos

So, this is a depiction of the central domain, and this is the locus of deity. But deity is highly d self-distributed, so it’s not just in the center. But this is the focus of it, and they use some of our mythic terms like paradise, is known as the Isle of Paradise. So I think of this as cosmo, this is my term, cosmo-theocentrism. The divine is at the center, but it’s also at all points in space. It’s omnicentric, but there’s also A true center. It’s pan-entheistic, Trinitarian. This is an amazing thing for Christians, is to look at the Trinitarian theology of the Orange Book, which I think is a huge contribution and unacknowledged. The divine is presented as personal, but also highly transcendent to personal. It’s canonic in the technical term for self-distributing deity. So, deity is so self-distributing that there’s a part of deity in each of us, actually, a real fragment, a God fragment in each person, and it’s a friendly universe.

Byron Belitsos

This is quickly organization. There’s seven great super universes that are inhabited. These are galaxy clusters. And you can see the rest. And it claims that there are seven trillion inhabited planets. So it’s kind of A Star Trek cosmology.

Byron Belitsos

Local systems are 1,000 worlds, and that’s important for what we’re going to say here. There are types of planets, and very quickly. Ours is an atmospheric type, and most planets have atmospheres, but some planets do not have atmospheres. And those are called non-breather planets. And it states, and this is one of the verifiable things in the Rancher book, it states there’s a A non-breather planet with beings in our solar system, and some Uranians think it’s a moon of one of the outer planets that has no atmosphere. And there’s uh other types. For example, uh you can classify planets by gravity. So if it’s a huge planet, what size would the beings be? They’d have to be smaller, have to be Shorter, right, because there’s more gravity. So on these big planets, people are two feet tall. On little planets, you’re taller because there’s not as much gravity. So you can be up to seven feet tall. And there’s more to it, but you can. Buy a Urancha book at half off and read more about it.

Byron Belitsos

Normal planets evolve in stages. Life is implanted from the outside. Life is designed, it’s designer evolution, so to speak. It’s designed with all the potentials for the planet. And in our case, our planet was dissolved with genetic potentials that were experimental. But most planets are not. They’re kind of standard genes adapted to the planet’s material conditions. Does it have an atmosphere? Does it have ocean? And these higher beings design a single cell, they implant it in various places, it evolves over billions of years. Second is Humans evolve very much longer, later. Third, as I mentioned, off-planet beings come, and according to Rancher book, they establish a capital. Fourth, there is a biological revelation. It’s a genetic intervention, something like the Anunnaki. Fifth, there are bestowals. This is like Jesus. Krishna avatars. There’s a stage of sustainability when the planet becomes socially sustainable and culturally. Advanced. Finally, there’s a planet-wide enlightenment.

Byron Belitsos

So, again, look at this another way. Typical, you would have a billion years. Roughly, life comes from the outside, then you’d have primitive humans evolving after a very long time, which is what we see in our evolution. Theory. Halfway through, you get a headquarters, then you get an Adam and Eve, and then you get advanced light, what they call light and life.

Byron Belitsos

Ours is atypical. So we are an atypical planet. That’s why the Rancher Book is so bizarre, really, because it’s explaining what makes us atypical. And what happened with us is a default of this event and a failure of this event and a likelihood of Civilization collapse today. That’s why an extraordinary intervention is required. The Orange Book is the first part of that. Purportedly.

Byron Belitsos

So I’m going to run through these. There’s evidence of we can’t do all of it, of course, I’m almost out of time. There’s evidence of a location of this Eden. There is evidence of cross-breeding in scientific work on genetics. There’s this find that corroborates the ranch book. We don’t have time for that one. There are Sumerian artifacts that corroborate, and there will be someday underwater archaeology in the Persian Gulf. It’s being planned today.

Byron Belitsos

The first visitation we spoke of this. There was a rebellion, as I mentioned, and there was a crossbreeding. Of those beings known as the Nephilim from Genesis, those are the giants who were in the earth in those days. This again is that location.

Byron Belitsos

And this is the being that the orange book identifies as the devil in myth. I just found this picture. What he looks like. This is a supernatural being who comes here to be the planetary director. He joined the rebellion. Now, his staff were supermortals. So, as Sitchin says in his literature, they were super Beings came down. Same idea. They become embodied and they can’t interbreed. These beings had with them something called the tree of life. So the tree of life is a a historically real um uh phenomenon.

Byron Belitsos

Lucifer is represented here. They then abort this mission, his manifesto. Is I’ll let you read that. God is a myth. The universe is self-existing. No creator. Inhabited planets should be autonomous. Our planet seceded from the universe administration. This rebellion was we were in quarantine until very recently when There was a heavenly court case that adjudicated the case, 1985.

Byron Belitsos

This refers to something many people wonder about. How it is that Cain, after he After he murdered Abel, he could leave Eden and go to Nod, where there was not supposed to be anybody else on the planet. There was a land of Nod, and he took a wife. as you recall. The ranch book says there was a land of Nod. Those were renegade Anunnaki.

Byron Belitsos

I’ll skip this. They procreated there the Nephilim. This is my personal hypothesis: is that this group known as the Nodites who occupied an area north of Mesopotamia For many thousands of years, they had identified with the Luciferian rebellion. They’re the source of the so-called Illuminati bloodlines. Your anchor book people don’t believe this. I happen to believe it.

Byron Belitsos

Again, these are the Nephilim. And the central region of these Nodites, over many thousands of years, their descendants were the Sumerians. And this is a long time later.

Byron Belitsos

This is, oops, this is the tree of life. So let’s finish up with this, Adam and Eve. This is them getting pissed off at God. And Carol Queen might like this. This is Adam and Eve is kind of like a deity pair of male and female.

Byron Belitsos

So their first appearance was 7,000 years ago on Cyprus. They were forced out of Eden and went to Mesopotamia because there was warfare from the Nodites, who were nearby in Syria, who made war upon them. And there’s three elements here of their purpose. One is to inject into the evolutionary genome there Genetics. It’s a higher genetics. It’s not much higher, but it’s like a transhumanist project. But it’s by intermarriage of their children. Second is what I just said. And third is a racial blending. And this great golf player, Golf Player, is an example. Of racial blender, there’s multiple races coming through, and racial blending, as seen as a ranch book, is a very good thing to do for evolution because you get diversity in the gene pool.

Byron Belitsos

So, correlation with the Bible, we’ve already covered. This occurred in Mesopotamia. There’s a tree of life. They had to leave. Those are similar to the Bible. This is dissimilar. Branch book says Adam and Eve were interdimensional beings on a transhumanist project. They were not the parents of mankind. There were already human beings here, etc.

Byron Belitsos

So it’s also similar in Sumerian myth. Adam and Eve and a tree. Now, this is a whole new development, scientific support for the idea that there was a genetic intervention. And this is on the some call the microcephalan gene and science magazine, pretty advanced magazine. Journal. These are the findings. This gene is discovered to be something injected 37,000 years ago, single source, introduced in Mesopotamia. You can read the article. Ranchbook says that they brought enhanced brain function in their gene. 37,000 years ago, single source, and it was between the Tigris and Euphrates.

Byron Belitsos

So there’s in addition, to finish up, there was an expedition I was part of to see if we could find this sunken land. The Ranch Book says that Actually, this is what one researcher found, is that what the Orancha book calls Eden matches what Plato calls Atlantis. All fifty, almost all fifty things he states about it. Out of time? Okay. This is the location. You can talk to me about it later. This is the expedition. And it was picked up by the History Channel a few years ago and covered as well. There were two expeditions to the site. Thank you, everybody.
