Monsieur Lecouturier, trustees,

You send to me a letter who appear official but without any day’s date, also spread with some judicial annotations nevertheless generally appropriate for commerce ; Trademark, Copyright, etc. to said me that your opposed to any text adaptation of The Book of Urantia, and to try to justify some personal positions who goes against fundamentals rights that God even so confer to his personal creatures

First and foremost, if you have been in presence of Gabriel of Salvington, the Bright and Morning Star who’s present himself to me in all his magnificence and splendor (there’s no words to qualify the Great Chief I have seen), you would understand the assurance I actually exhibit. It is an evidence that I cannot forget this circumstance who’s incontestably give me some assurance that you admit not to understand it.

You affirm in your letter that the directive of superiors authority who coordinate my mission are in conflict with other directives you received when the book was given. With this end in view, I don’t believe at all some directives like you pretend would be stipulate with the book. It is not the ways the supra-human authority do with humans. It is weird to register the concentric circles like commercial "Trademark", and dangerous to register by "Copyright" the book’s Scripture on this small spiritual sight’s planet. And it is an aberration to prosecute in court the believers who are to dynamics, or who do not agree with your personals and limited sights. All these pretentiousness are wrong, unjustified and unacceptable. These are running error. You have to admit it and correct the situation.

Should we imagine the Christianity registering under license the "cross symbol" because there are groups like the "Ku Klux Klan" who use it in there demented activities? The cross symbol also serve in accordance with various religions and ideologies, and it’s normal like this. I don’t say it’s necessary what is the best, but I say not to treated these affairs in too rigorous or serious way, it is dangerous, much dangerous than leave sincere believers trying to bring a contribution to evolution in their way.

You said to me, among others in your letter : "An other certain danger is the proliferation of secondary works where each take in the book the lesson who serve their viewpoint".

Then, I can only relate you that on this July 20 1997 at Montreal in the accreditation context of the IUA local, Mr Michelson Dupont the France trustee himself do not hesitate to use several passages who clearly spoke "of loyalty" directly coming from the original book to serve his viewpoint and trustees interest; to lead the members of the association to be loyal with the aims and objectives already define by the Urantia foundation. My wife and me found it "indecent". Nevertheless, his choice of passage was took from an original version of the book, not from a secondary work.

When you write "secondary work proliferation" you speak of my work like any "bad herbs", even so it’s precisely when the book’s Scriptures will be disseminate all over the world and will naturally sow all kinds of other derivative and adapted work that the book will be at the best of is form. Then the Book of Urantia will have really do is earth work and scatter his fruits a lots beyond of himself; like a big tree who would give life to a colony of descendants to testify his greatness and beauty.

The extracts collection I have valiantly constructed and that you qualify it "a secondary work" like a bad herb was not created to serve a personal viewpoint in the choice of these extracts. I work in honest and inspired way within permit personals and partisans prerogatives, and if it happened, it’s not impossible because I am human, so it’s not grave and it was only a little and what is more, I am sure that God already pardon me these small potentials errors and he’d rather look the conscientious, courageous and bold work I accomplish with love and altruist.

It’s you who’s grave to enslave and control the book like this within respecting the fundamental and inalienable right to spiritual free will inherent to each of us individually. It’s you who’s grave to imagine that you have the power of holding in this way like personal and intellectual acquired the Scriptures of the Urantia Book than you openly deploy like your owns intellectuals possessions.

You also wrongly attribute to me that I would find deplorable that " Such works like this, if it was allowed, would not miss abounding and becoming purely commercials enterprises. What’s you’ve agreed to us, will be deplorable." Absolutely not monsieur Lecouturier, I don’t agree with you. You attribute to me words and comportment I never adopted or displayed.

As an artist, I have been largely edited in the locale and international commercial circuit, and I don’t see nothing different in the humans conduct who’s like you manage the administrative and behavioral affairs an take an interest of the "Urantia Book", and businessmen and businesswomen who simply live on from the commerce of different products. Even I should say, at commercial level it’s the dynamism and the public adaptation of a products who decide that we can survive or not. While in terrestrials business go around "The Urantia Book" are predominated by a touchy, limited, sectarian, even élitism, rigorousness, and some good dose of condescending character under certain aspect, and this, absolutely not looking like the character’s tracts cautioned by the Master lesson and the Book of Urantia who’s rather promoting boldness, dynamism, mind open behind the progress watchword of the universe (the Book p 54), courage, etc.

Is Jesus has not said John to keep going a man then who have decided of his own to preach his lessons to is personal way even if he was not form by him? Is Jesus have ordered to his apostles to prosecute him in justice or persecute this honest man to prevent him of preaching is Gospel and, in that way, make with him an outlaw because he did not rigorously follow formally his Gospel, and transform the integrity of his lessons.

— Certainly not !

Is Jesus consider that his children have to integrally and strictly practice his Gospel within omit any parts of it. — Certainly not ! Jesus has never preach intolerance neither the fanaticism who feed some paranoid, enslaving and submit climate in the mind of the touched creatures. He’d rather condemn and contest these undesirables methods. Jesus have preach mercy and brotherly love instead of used the prosecute to take power on human being. "Civil government is founded on justice, even as true religion is founded on mercy". (The Book p. 1462 )

Isn’t it paradoxical, you disdain the commercials aspects but in the same time you have transformed the symbolic emblem of the trinity of the creation in a vulgar "Trademark". Oh, you will certainly say to me that is to protect this emblem from the multiples dangers of bad uses. Some creative spirits persons would do like me and transforming this emblem by placing a white cross in front of it. The emblem I have create symbolically represent the levers of my terrestrial and universal mission at the service and guidance for the Earth planet and for Michael our Creator who have lived on earth and leave us a local symbol, and what’s more who also reign like a sovereign in the sky.

Could we one moment imagine that the cross symbol of Christianity would become one day a "Trademark" like the tree concentric circles emblem became actually? Nevertheless, if someone will try to do it, he certainly succeed to it at the law viewpoint . It’s just for say how terrestrial law are limited, imperfect, and quite incom-petents to govern some affairs likes theses.

Could we imagine this â.....â

â Régistered Mark of CHRISTIANITY. Used pursuant to licence.

It would be absurd. So this is what you do with the Michael’s emblem, your letter will prove it to the Univers

But when we see this :  ... â

â Registered Mark of URANTIA Foundation. Used pursuant to licence.

Also you wave in front of me that a "reader who desire not to be known have offer to give an amount equal to all donations ever give to the Foundation for the book translation in an other language". It’s fortunate such a person like this exist. But this person that you wave like that as an example, reflect for me the negative interest and fixed side of the URANTIA Foundation management. May be it’s a millionaire who have gave a infinitesimal part of his fortune. Personally, I have a family with adolescents children and I am "totally" spiritually and socially engages since more than five years, and it’s difficult for me at the money level; then don’t come and sting me with important donations that I can’t absolutely not judged to their righteous values. It’s not some money that you need more actually, but rather some light up of realism, discernment and spiritual insight.

So rather try to consider it is fortunate some dynamics and engaged peoples like me go such a lot far away than simply giving money. BUT we represent a problem for persons like you who have adopted a conduct lane base on "license" and whimsical instead on the good sense; because you are afraid, because you don’t really understand the basic of the book’s lessons you have in hands; so you justify yourself with the force of the men’s law that you use against the "best" elements who’s even so surround these Scriptures. Non monsieur Lecouturier, no misters trustees, the end never justify any way like this.

You justify yourself by writing " The readers who doesn’t want read all are in possession of the integral text which they can refer later ". You don’t understand the sense either the necessity of a text collection like I create and who is five times less big in text-pages volume and certainly more than twice concerning the price he would display. You don’t understand the practical aspect and the psychological impact a collection like this would have on a part of the people. In marketing they constantly search to understand and to approach the people in general, and to wonder what will need, what will justify them to buy the product. It would be a good humility effort if the Foundation would do by folding a few forward of ordinary people instead to stay confine in their height than quite a few persons only have envy to join you.

Because I already successful with my occupation like an artist and serigraph, and being a figurehead who was during some years among the bests sellers here in Canada and quite a few some place over the word, so I estimate in consequence that I have interesting competence at the level of knowing what people want, and have understand that it is necessary to approach and adopt a language who’s accessible and understandable to people. And I pretend in some way, with some individual, the Urantia book in it complete version is too big, too important, it make fear to a lot of people, it discourage them, quite a few said it to me.

It is primordial that an adaptation of the book be intellectually and physically diminish to create a connection whit the people, and it is necessary not to disown that a collection like the one I construct and who identify me at the level of the extracts selection, create a "bringing together" at the level of the personal identification of the readers with a human and palpable person witch they can personally identify themselves, and so personally meet up again with himself much easier, what’s essential. Finally, the physical and intellectual more humanize aspect by resembling more like an ordinary book will not miss to succeed and make him pass where the entire book do not succeed presently.

A collection like this is a necessity, realize it. We must work for the people, not for us. And I think the Foundation unfortunately work only for them in some way actually. We must open ourselves to the people and speak to them in the way the people wish we speak to them. Then we really reach to communicate with them.

And have you think to the one who rarely read, and the old people who are incapable of reading writing as little than the one who figure in the new edition call "pocket" the one who look like a big blue missal (the last French version). And what can we say from the people who don’t have much time for reading, because they are to occupy, intellectually monopolized, for them it’s generally unthinkable to read something too philosophic when they are in vacation.

At the beginning of my occupation, more than 20 years ago, I had a engineer friend who was very occupied at work. One day he explained to me that for him it was the beautiful, simple and restful artistic works who was interesting him, because he find the one too complex or too complicate too " brain dig " to be interest by it and buy it. He was searching and looking for the simplicity.

The secret of my art successful have been attribute to the beauty and the big simplicity of my work. It is the simplicity and not the pretentiousness that it’s necessary to put in front away to create a good approach with the people. And once the peoples are win, afterward they are ready to go a lot further with us.

When I begin the construct of the extracts collection, I aspired to do it under 500 pages. It have 700 pages. It’s for say to which point I consider it is important to bring the book at a level more down to earth, and extract it from the height of intellect and philosophy who appear inaccessible or only a few accessible for the many people.

— Realize it !

Liberate the Book by let do editing it more accessible to people. This will not spoil the entire version, on the contrary, it will become only more important. This collection if it was printed on a paper like the one in the "Weiss" translation will have a normal thickness and a respectable appear, not too big so not too afraid. Don’t forget that for the people it is a philosophic book whose hard to read.

And I consider that this collection and the text it contain is sufficient to give a general and right idea to the people of the revelation that the entire book contain. It is not by forcing and asking to people to bend to our reality that we must succeed to land him. We have to think like the people and do the steps to approach them if we want to win them.

You offend me openly when you say in your letter : "Even if your adaptation had not transform the lessons integrity of the book, this would require a considerable work and resource we don’t have to make sure, this to protect the readers who would not miss to be interest of it". This is not a reader that you try to protect from my extracts collection, but your condescending power and your attitude to want to be the boss imagining all kinds of negatives and frees scenarios like that.

And who said that you have to assure yourself I did not transform the integrity of these Scriptures. Is there are not all kind of local associations like the "IUA" who would certainly do some work with pleasure and verify the authenticity of the work. Didn’t you read my open letter concerning my recommendation who said to you "to restitute the Book of Urantia Scriptures to men and women of the earth ?"

Do you really believe than "YOUR" organization will really blossom soaked in that sectarian climate? Rather realize than when it would not be no more "YOUR" organization, a great step will be certainly get over, and some events that you are not suspecting now because of a close spirit, will certainly appear at level of what’s surround this book and all sides issues. Also realize that you are actually restricted not to exceed certain stage at the level of the human planetary recognition. It is the truth. Like a human individual who is naturally limited in their life experiences and experiments to live events he nevertheless wish, because he had certain pathological behaviour. Us, which adheres to the book, are limited by errors and pathological attitudes of "YOUR" organization, and it is what I deplore and denounce.

And at last, you finish your letter saying to me that the Foundation want some readers "capable of formulate a right and reasonable opinion, safety from rumor becoming from readers who don’t want recognize there is no liberty without license. Which we add that there is no possible license without a limits defines". For this aberration, I report you directly to the paper 54 called : "PROBLEMS OF THE LUCIFER REBELLION, The theft of liberty ", page 614 of the book.

You trample upon the inalienable right of liberty respect and free will Father’s give. You manage in autocratic way a book who doesn’t belong to you, and you approve Lucifer’s precepts. Be care not to be a rebel at the vision of God and of the Universe. Anyone who follow and protect you, become a accomplice of "the theft of liberty" as Lucifer have designed it. Its the book who say it, recognize it !

This august 29, I have received a letter from an local organism of news and information for the readers of the book of Urantia. They refused to publish some officials documents that I have sent to them and who informed on significant events; by example, an extracts collection have been composed, that I do have a meeting with the trustee Dupont, that I was a reservist in official mission ( reserve corps of destiny), that I had a meeting with Gabriel of Salvington in 1992, and disposed of a status confer by Michael, seven day’s before.

These persons that we should qualify like "journalists" for the book’s readers services have refused to inform THEIRS readers who have gave their confidence to receive news and information on what’s around the book. I have been judge and condemn. I do not exist. "the autocratic management people have some facilities to decide what is true and what’s is not, what is happened and what is never happened".

Nobody have never created an extracts collection with five times less text-pages than the entire book. Nobody meet Mr. Dupont a trustee of the Foundation on July 20 1997 during one hour and half, this to warn all the trustees in the name of the Universe government that they will have to change their attitudes, to stop manage with lawyers and using wrongly the law yoke; that the divine mercy’s resources was fall due now and that in the future they would have to behave with dignity and with the manner of spiritized persons, and respecting the personal free will and the truth; at last to officially warn them that the ignorance is excusable but the persistence is culpable, that these actions up to this day will be considerate like "errors" but in the future if they continue in the same way, they would be in the sin, and the consequences will be certainly inevitable. All these event was never being for these persons nevertheless "witness" of it.

However, the first book’s edition I have bought in 1980 was nothing else than some "photocopy’s" of the tree volumes edition called in that time "La Cosmogonie d’Urantia". It have been executed by them because the original book was retired from the market by the Foundation who was prosecuting the French producer in court. However the extracts collection I have made was constructed with some computer floppy disk that they gave to me last year like it was distributed to all the one who wanted it, and they pertinently known that was going against the trustees to do it, and also that a trial was always running about that. However, documents and reports write by Mrs Maheera was also mostly distributed. Also these peoples known since more than a year that I had received a status confer by Michael and meet Gabriel of Salvington to the Court House of Longueuil in 1992.

And few time before my meeting with Dupont trustee, someone had confessed to me in a telephonic conversation that it was only to benefit from certain advantages that the Quebecker Association of Urantia was joining to the IUA, that they hadn’t the choice. They had to walk at the Foundation steps otherwise they would be cut from contacts and certain others sides issues they desired.

They’ve been let themselves enslave by fear. They give up to the desire to have what I call "goodies" because they didn’t have the choice. With an autocratic government, we have to walk at the same steps or we don’t exist. They wanted to have their "goodies" so now they walk at the Foundation steps. In end of July, I phone them and offer them a copy of the collection I create because they seen a lot of readers in their associative activities and I wanted to have some comments about it. They have refused it to me. Someone even spoke to me with the same style of language and words that the Dupont trustee did with me few day’s sooner. They passed on the other side. They have been converted to the Urantia foundation politics.

These persons who had been relatively dissidents to the Foundation became, one day after the other, some recognize pillar of the Foundation. Now they are converted to the Foundation idealism and method. They have ceased to be faithful to themselves and to their deep believing. The Foundation believe that they will go far.

— I don’t think so.

These journalists who also represent the local "IUA" from the interior are in interest conflict. At this time it is a sectarian and slanted organism who filter the information. They let pass info who doesn’t hurt the Foundation and censure the one who say the truth and who would call into question some practices, among other thing to have enslaved and tainted Michael’s emblem and adopting vicious Lucifer’s precepts in using our temporal tribunal against the spiritual and creative free will of the creatures. They want prevent us " to bring something personal and unique to the slowly erecting monument to experiential wisdom which will sometime exist as a perfected system of Satania". Page 614 of the book.

— We are really not prophet at home !

Now, it’s the war.

The war between progressive and dynamic attitude born from the Spirit and the eternal temporal mediocrity.

The war between the gift of himself desire and the abusive power of egocentrism.

The war between reason and pretend, the good and the bad, the reality and illusion.

The war between the evolutionary open spirit and a narrow and sectarian minded.

The war between eternal design of the Father will who give the personal free will , and the enslave attempt to temporal and personal design.

The war between the Father will respect and the adherence to the false liberty sophism.

The war between the cosmic liberty’s right to serve his fellow man in own way, and the unfair yoke of a temporal and unjustified law.

HOW can you imagine that you will prepare educators for future if you don’t understand the essential and basic of spirituality and the fundamentals precepts of liberty. Do you really believe that you will have the capacity to change the world if you are not capable to admit and take off the beam who blind you and manage you in hazardous and unworthy ways to God eyes, to Universe and to Spirit.

None human can’t never have received from supra-human people any rights to exert on other human an enslaving power and who can put away the creative free will that God confer to us.

Monsieur Lecouturier, you trustees, and all of you who protect them, you don’t have neither the right neither the license neither other power except temporal control (Copyright, Trademark) to prevent to bring something personal in regard to the Scriptures and revelations of The Urantia Book that you actually hold imprisoned. You don’t have the right neither the license in regard of God and of the Universe to prevent me to bring in my way, my personal contribution to evolution and creation. You have never received the right neither the license from the sky to deprive me and take me of the privilege to participate to the creation of my own destiny, and to the planetary spiritual destiny of the word of Urantia. You don’t neither have any right or license to deprive me to serve my fellow mans.

You try to creatively enslave me, to unduly reduce my personal participation — my freewill participation — in the long evolutionary struggle to attain the status of light and life. You thwart the temporal purpose of your own will to eternal purpose of God like it’s revealed in the bestowal of free will upon all personals creatures. So realize that you approve "The theft of liberty" as Lucifer exalt it.

In consequence, I have the duty and moral obligation to warn readers so that it will be clear than :

"anyone who serve the perverse precepts like you are recommending concerning the sincere creature enslaving, would certainly become in some way a rebel to the eyes of God and to the Universe".

In conclusion, I advice you to retract yourself and permit as soon as possible the situation restoration, and remit the powers that you unduly grant to yourself between neutral and non taint hands to have choice the way of " the theft of liberty" like Lucifer had planed and promoted it, and who is clearly demonstrate in the book at the page 614.

These events undoubtedly prove that the important lessons issue from the book can be misunderstood even to the ones who imagine they are the guardian’s book. To spread in spirituality, it is not sufficient to have read a book. It is necessary to understood the lessons and apply it.

Even if my collection of extracts was actually published in the imperfect state like it is now with all his errors to corrects, that’s still best than a big book now tainted because you make the mistake to enslave and disenfranchisement it to your owns wills.

It’s better to have a translation or a sincere extracts adaptation than a complete version and write in a perfect language but tainted by rigourousness, formalism and a perverse license to God’s eyes, of Universe and of Spirit.

 I do not recognize any power of The Urantia foundation on me. I refuse to be enslave by humans who serve and have autocratic intentions, who goes against of creative free will fundamental and basic right ; a Father’s bestowal upon all personal creatures, and allow to bring and contributing something personal and unique concerning the revelation who compose The Urantia Book, and coming from supra-human source and directly on the administrative power of Gabriel of Salvington that I legitimacy represent here on earth now.

This is a crime to enslave what is a gracious bestowal of God to his creatures. And I refuse to be submit to the precept of " The theft of liberty" promote by Lucifer.

The Urantia Book need to be liberated from chains and hindrance some people forged afterward of human mistake and sin. It is necessary to break these chain and repair all these route’s mistakes.

Be sure that will arrive inevitably.

And I say it again. It is in the official range of my mission for the government of the Universe and for Micaël that I presently act like reservist and extraordinary counselor in this affair.

— What God want " EXIST ".

And if I find the necessary fund, the collection of extract I create will be certainly publish in French and English ( for beginning).

Status confer by Micaël, on Mai 29 1992 , one week before the amazing meeting with Gabriel of Salvington at the Law Courts of Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA.

PROBLEMS OF THE LUCIFER REBELLION

The theft of liberty

With the Son and in the Spirit did God project eternal Havona, and ever since has there obtained the eternal pattern of co-ordinate participation in creation — sharing. This pattern of sharing is the master design for every one of the Sons and Daughters of God who go out into space to engage in the attempt to duplicate in time the central universe of eternal perfection.

Every creature of every evolving universe who aspires to do the Father's will is destined to become the partner of the time-space Creators in this magnificent adventure of experiential perfection attainment. Were this not true, the Father would have hardly endowed such creatures with creative free will, neither would he indwell them, actually go into partnership with them by means of his own spirit.

Lucifer's folly was the attempt to do the nondoable, to short-circuit time in an experiential universe. Lucifer's crime was the attempted creative disenfranchisement of every personality in Satania, the unrecognized abridgment of the creature's personal participation — freewill participation--in the long evolutionary struggle to attain the status of light and life both individually and collectively. In so doing this onetime Sovereign of your system set the temporal purpose of his own will directly athwart the eternal purpose of God's will as it is revealed in the bestowal of free will upon all personal creatures. The Lucifer rebellion thus threatened the maximum possible infringement of the freewill choice of the ascenders and servers of the system of Satania — a threat forevermore to deprive every one of these beings of the thrilling experience of contributing something personal and unique to the slowly erecting monument to experiential wisdom which will sometime exist as the perfected system of Satania. Thus does the Lucifer manifesto, masquerading in the habiliments of liberty, stand forth in the clear light of reason as a monumental threat to consummate the theft of personal liberty and to do it on a scale that has been approached only twice in all the history of Nebadon.

In short, what God had given men and angels Lucifer would have taken away from them, that is, the divine privilege of participating in the creation of their own destinies and of the destiny of this local system of inhabited worlds.

No being in all the universe has the rightful liberty to deprive any other being of true liberty, the right to love and be loved, the privilege of worshiping God and of serving his fellows.

THE FREE WILL — THE URANTIA BOOK

The Creator refuses to coerce or compel the submission of the spiritual free wills of his material creatures. Page 22

Morality can never be advanced by law or by force. It is a personal and freewill matter… Page 193

There are only two levels of relative sovereignty on an inhabited world: the spiritual free will of the individual mortal and the collective sovereignty of mankind as a whole. Page 1487

2. Law Forecasters. The intellectual foundation of justice is law, and in a local universe law originates in the legislative assemblies of the constellations. These deliberative bodies codify and formally promulgate the basic laws of Nebadon, laws designed to afford the greatest possible co-ordination of a whole constellation consistent with the fixed policy of non infringement of the moral free will of personal creatures.
