The Christian Theology of the Urantia Book, Transpersonal Exo-consciousness & the Unity of Mind

Abstract

Thought adjusters are described as fragments of the Universal Father’s spirit indwelling human minds, guiding individuals spiritually. The Urantia Book emphasizes that true knowledge of God arises from inner communion—divine essence both within and transcending individuals. This spiritual connection is personal, accounting for religious diversity. Although the divine spark is universal, individual interpretation shapes unique religious experiences. The article proposes the single universal consciousness theory as the framework to understand the nature of reality as this aligns with the ideas of Schrödinger, Bohm, and Penrose that proposes that all individual minds are expressions of one underlying quantum field. Exo-consciousness refers to direct contact with non-human intelligence in non-ordinary, non-local and transpersonal experiences that connect individuals to a universal unified field of consciousness. These experiences can be cultivated via Altered States of Consciousness (ASC)—for example, through holotropic breathwork—allowing individuals to transcend personal identity and reconnect with the thought adjuster within. Within Transpersonal Psychology, such practices may function as existential therapies, effectively addressing depression, anxiety, spiritual crises, and fostering self-awareness and spiritual intelligence.
