Every human in
our world experiences moments of self-reflection, doubt and skepticism.
We search for answers that help us define God's role in our lives and
our relevance to the universe and beyond. These are not new questions.
The Urantia Book can be a valuable source of enlightenment and comfort
when a soul is faced with Life's Toughest Questions. Click on a question
you've struggled with and discover The Urantia Book's perspective on
some of life's most difficult and frequently-asked questions.

The Urantia Book has quite a lot of information regarding eternal life,
e.g., what an ascension candidate is, what happens to us after we
die, and what the eternal career has in
store. Much time is spent in the discussion and revelation of the
ascension plan for humans. Just as Jesus died a mortal death and
resurrected in three days' time, so we, too, can anticipate
resurrection - not here on earth, as in the case of Jesus, but in one
of the
Father's
seven
mansion worlds that Jesus told us about, and
about which The
Urantia Book devotes a great deal of its teachings
We are told that "Mortals are all animal-origin
evolutionary beings of
ascendant potential." (underline is mine) And as Adjuster-indwelt
mortals, all of us here
on Urantia have as our destiny the adventure of one day returning to
the Father on Paradise.
The section titled The
Ascending Mortals begins:
"The following narrative presents the universe career of an
Adjuster-indwelt mortal. The Son- and Spirit-fused mortals share
portions of this career, but we have elected to tell this story as it
pertains to the Adjuster-fused mortals, for such a destiny may be
anticipated by all of the human races of Urantia."
(underline is mine)
I think it is safe to say that the majority of humans will follow this
career. Of course, there are those who may not, but that remains an
individual choice, and one which may not be able to be finally and
rightly made until we have passed from death on this planet to the
status of survivor.
As to the immediate experience of life after death, I would invite you
to view our short and beautiful flash video called After
You Die,
which outlines in great detail the teachings of The Urantia Book about
this fascinating subject.
