So interesting. I would assume, if they are in good standing, that more advanced beings would treat our humble and somewhat backward planet with a big brotherly respect. Thinking of ourselves as possible "domesticated animals" is a sobering thought.

The original UB and continued UB revelations are impressive bodies of work. However, they are not the only ones. Other contemporary non-UB revelations incorporate the ET story more fully. A comprehensive exotheology would do well to critique, compare, contrast, and integrate all the revelations.

Steve, please add more detail about the other contemporary non-UB revelations. Do you mean JJ Hurtak, Steiner?

The answer to your question could easily be a book! But for purposes of this platform, I will restrict it to a few sources, both ancient and modern:

1. 📚 Classic & Visionary Revelatory Cosmologies

These sources feature rich metaphysical and interplanetary teachings, often via trances or spiritual experiences.

• Emmanuel Swedenborg – De Telluribus in Mundo Nostro Solari

Communicates with beings on other planets, describing their societies and assigning them symbolic roles in a cosmic “Great Man” metaphor. Explicit about inhabited worlds.

• Rudolph Steiner

Anthroposophical cosmology focused on spiritual hierarchies; mentions cosmic intelligences and planetary spirits but less on physical ETs.

• The Urantia Book (1955)

A voluminous “epochal revelation” structured into parts:

• Central/Superuniverses (Paradise, Havona, seven superuniverses)

• Local universe Nebadon (our planetary system)

• Inhabited planets (~10 million per local universe) and described celestial beings

It outlines a cosmic bureaucracy with origin stories for humans and God’s relation to the universe. Strong emphasis on numerous inhabited worlds.

• Oahspe

19th-century revelation detailing cosmic history, multiple heavens, myriad inhabited spheres, and human–ET interplay.

• Buddhism & Hinduism

Ancient worldviews with metaphysical realms (devas, asuras, loka); while spiritually oriented, modern interpreters often equate them to ET cosmology in today's terms.

________________________________________

2. 🛸 UFO/ET-Focused Channeling & Contact Literature

These explicitly center on extraterrestrial life and its relation to Earth and humanity.

• Voyager Series (Ashayana Deane)

Arguably one of the most ET centric modern channels: details starseed origins, hybrid programs, galactic alliances, secret ET councils (e.g., Zetas, Keylontic), and human–ET interactions.

• JJ Hurtak – The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch

Blends cosmic spiritual cosmology with ET origin myths, star beings, and humanity’s evolutionary destiny.

• Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC) & EVP-derived content

Attempts contact via electronic voice phenomena, often claiming dialogues with discarnate or ET intelligences. Some published collections include related transcripts.

• Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) & Astral Travel Accounts

Many NDE testimonies include glimpses of cosmic beings, interplanetary councils, and landscapes reminiscent of inhabited worlds.

• Hacking the Afterlife & Contemporary Channelers

Modern spiritual platforms frequently deliver cosmic messages, ET council guidance, and starseed archetypes—e.g., Bashar, Pleiadians, KOI channelers.

• Ismael Perez (Our Cosmic Origin)

Describes cosmic ancestry, starseed heritage, multiverse councils, archon conflicts, and human–cosmic lineage. His content ties spirituality, philosophy, and cosmic origins.

________________________________________

3. 🗂️ Organizational UFO Religions & ET Societies

Structured groups centered on channeled ET contact.

• Unarius Academy of Science

Since 1954, offers hundreds of volumes of channeled transcripts from extraterrestrial and interdimensional beings.

• The Aetherius Society

Founded mid-1950s; channels teachings from Venusian, Martian, and “Cosmic Masters” to guide humanity’s evolution.

________________________________________

4. 🧭 Comparative/Metaphysical Contexts

Some cosmologies and spiritual texts are less literal, more symbolic or metaphorical.

• Ancient astronaut theories interpret myths (Annunaki, Watchers) as symbolic accounts of past ET contact.

• Buddhist/Hindu cosmologies describe multiple realms and beings—some interpret these as nonphysical but some see them as ET analogues.

________________________________________

🛸 Extraterrestrial-Centric Sources (Strongest Focus)

1. Voyager Series (Ashayana Deane) – ET species, hybrids, star heredity, galactic councils.

2. The Urantia Book – ~10 million inhabited worlds per local universe; celestial source origins

3. Emmanuel Swedenborg – Spiritually communicates with planetary civilizations

4. Oahspe – Elaborate ET-human historical connections.

5. JJ Hurtak – ET origin myths mixed with spiritual keys.

6. Ismael Perez – Cosmic origins, multiverse ancestry, starseed councils

7. ITC/NDE/Astral/Ashayana/Hacking – Frequently depict ET beings, nonphysical allies, hybrid programs.

Bravo, nice work.

What's needed now is comparative analysis of modern cosmic revelations. Wd be great to see someone write such a paper for the International Journal of Urantia Book Studies:

Sure, I can do that. Due on Oct. 25 when you launch the platform?

I applaud the focus of your message, that the universe is friendly, and in particular, towards our planet. In contrast, it is illuminating that Richard Dolan’s perception of the visiting personalities is that a few are exploitive and amoral, that they neither subscribe nor are governed by universe ethics. And this makes sense because of the in-your-face blanket of amoral and immoral behavior that covers the earth; so why not extend that to the universe.

I should clarify that Richard Dolan did not explicitly say that "ETs are amoral or have no ethical awareness." He does not write as a moral philosopher, but he would agree that there are exploitative races engaged in abductions or other groups who hide out in inaccessible ocean ocean depths and don't enter into open relations with humankind. But Dolan, and virtually the entire UFO research community, also agrees that there are other races who appear to be benign and spiritually advanced. As the coverup melts away, we will be better able to distinguish these things without so much difficulty. My point going forward is that we need to introduce moral, ethical, and theological categories to this discussion based on the UB and related teachings.

I've edited my comment to reflect Dolan's perspective more accurately.

The problem with comparing the Urantia revelation to the other writings is that the contexts is like comparing a candle to the sun. This is not necessarily a problem, except people do not want to admit the obvious and focus on what is most important for one reason or another.

The Urantia Papers are very much like the sun. We can shut ourselves in from the teachings, only allowing whatever amount of light can be tolerated by eyes grown comfortable with the dark. They are very much not like the sun because we can stare right at them for a long time. And, instead of going blind, we are able to see more and more, better and better.

No other text has the detailed breadth, depth and clarity found in the Urantia revelation, which is admittedly subjective. No other text has new discoveries and scientific advances catching up to its history for over 70 years now, which is objective, for those who can admit to it. (No. What people say about the Bible in this regard does not compare, obviously.)

So, when it comes to credibility or the nature and amount of truly useful information, I'm not sure where there is legitimate comparison, except within the general context of a candle to the sun. Nothing mentioned by Steve Glanz comes close, near as I can tell. But if someone wants to make the argument for one them or some other text being relatively equal in comparison, please lay out the basic premise for that. It should not take much effort to identify the text and bring up a few of the strongest points, right?

Great thoughts, Byron! I love that Dolan is thinking of picking up his UB.again, you obviously drove your points home. My other thought was, mmmm we must have non breathers right here in our oceans. What are they doing down there? Building a new civilization? Are they able to communicate with our Midwayers?

Interesting idea, Cheryl, about nonbreathers under our oceans. Dolan has written hundreds of pages on these USO beings, so the first step would be to read his lengthy writings that cover all the known facts.

Thank you. That was very interesting. I didn't know all this was going on. I like the way you persevere with the revelation.
