You can read the whole book online at:

Welcome to the Official Urantia Foundation Website

I came away from the book with a feeling of comfort knowing that God loves me and that life goes on. What are you waiting for, read it.
Thanks for bumping this thread, at least for the 11:11 aspect. I've had a number of experiences which proved to me that there's something to it. I think it's my spirit guides (for lack of a better term) tapping me on the shoulder and saying, "now pay attention to what happens next" (or to what just happened).

As for the Urantia book: I read up on it a while back, not wanting to leave out any possibilities in my seeking. I skimmed thru the entire online version. Sorry, but I think it's mostly a very imaginitive science fiction book. I base that on several things. One is that some of the science in it proved to be wrong later; excuses were made for that, but it's too convenient.

Also, the doctor who was involved in its "discovery" was a rabid sceptic regarding the paranormal , spritualism, and life after death. And amongst all the incredible detailing of the vast infrastructure of the universe, the numerous planes of existence and types of beings, there's a passage that flatly states that the dead can in no way ever contact those living on Earth. That kind of made me go "hmmmm...". At that point I discarded the whole book and moved on.

But, having said that...only you get to say what you will believe.
