In this teaching, Van of Urantia talks about his own personal religious experience and teaches about the markers of spiritual progress, the Seven Psychic Circles. This information is not commonly known because we live on a fallen world. Starseed souls often fluctuate between the circles and few stabilize on the 3rd circle, allowing the possibility of receiving an Angel of Enlightenment. We can attain these higher consciousness levels by becoming purified, sanctified, and adhering to the Commandments which Moses received on Sinai.
Van of Urantia mentions his affinity for the film, Star Trek: Insurrection, and the civilization of people it shows; living a simple, agrarian lifestyle despite the fact that they have highly developed technologies.
In order to cultivate the Fruits of the Spirit, we need to have a sense of humor… not that life can be all jokes and laughter. As it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for all things.
Van of Urantia’s teaching is based upon “Religion and the Individual,” section 2 from Paper 103 of The URANTIA Book, “The Reality of Religious Experience.” When all is said and done, we have to keep changing. We can’t just stay in the same spiritual neighborhood our whole life. We must continue to grow in God, the Universal Father, in all that we do.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
