Is anyone here familiar with, evoked, invoked, etc... the celestial entities of the paradigm revealed in The Urantia Book?


Here is a link to a roster of the various celestial entities of that system:

Here is a link to a person who did some extensive work regarding the cosmology and cosmogeny involving core concepts of the Urantian system:

Here is a link to the complete 2000+ page text of The Urantia Book online (offline publications also exist):

Note:

If you do check The Urantia Book out, strive to refrain from doing what I did when I first encountered the paradigm it offers about a decade ago: try not to glance at it, then summarily dismiss it as "more of the same" due to its "Christian-like" rhetoric. Although this text is very similar in tone and terms to familiar Biblical based writings, there are some stark differences with regard to philosophy that making hasty conclusions from quickly skimming does not reveal.

After reading this tome, and examining its information with an eye to how the paradigm was put together (regardless of stories regarding its origins as told by those who are "True Believers" of it), I've come to realize that the structure and internal consistency - never mind the explanations for its philosophy, theology, etc... - are brilliant.

With that approach in mind, I do consider this system to be worth checking out - if only to see get a gander at how it was masterfully crafted.
