One of Sadler’s favorite books before The Urantia Book was Madison Grant’s The Passing of the Great Race which says that nordic people are the “ideal” human race and “getting rid of” other races would “enable us to get rid of the undesirables who crowd our jails, hospitals, and insane asylums.” “Racial hygiene” theories like this would go on to rise in popularity, culminating with the Nazi party in Germany and the holocaust. Sadler was interested in race eugenics, a field of study that seeks to remove “inferior” kinds of people from the gene pool.
Later on, parts of The Urantia Book were discovered to be plagiarized from other texts. Curiously, Sadler had previously written a book debunking popular paranormal claims. Sadler claimed the man was being channelled by aliens. Sadler claims the content of the book actually came from a neighbor who was in an unconscious hypnotic state while he gave the statements in the book. The book was probably written by a Chicago physician and student of Freud named William Sadler who had already been involved in other cults. Here is a list of debunked scientific information found in The Urantia book. The scientific ideas of The Urantia Book are simply those held by the author and are typical of someone in his position in the early 1900s. Additionally, the scientific claims in the book do not reflect any kind of special wisdom removed from the time and place the book was written. The book also self-identifies followers as cult members, though that language is shied away from in modern years. What’s so bad about The Urantia Book?įor starters, the book claims to be a transmission of extraterrestrial wisdom which obscures the fact that it was written by a regular human person with fallible, dated ideas about science and philosophy, among other things. According to The Urantia Foundation’s website, Seigel discovered The Urantia Book the same year he founded Celestial Seasonings, during the summer of love. The foundation exists to publish The Urantia book and ensure the ideas in the book are spread.
Since 1955, the book has been published by The Urantia Foundation, which lists Mo Seigel as it’s president. A mysterious 2,095 page book called The Urantia Book appeared in Chicago sometime between 1924-1955. In 2015, writer Megan Giller broke the story about a niche religious text Mo Seigal (and another early Celestial Seasonsings employee, John Hay) follows. After a corporate buy back, Seigel returned from retirement for over a decade to again lead the company.
Mo Seigel went on to become the company’s president until a merger with Kraft.
