Basically, it speaks to the head and not the heart. The Urantia book he said intoxicates the intellect and exalts man. He realized that he could not reconcile the fact that Jesus was who He said he was in the ancient Scriptures and the Jesus of the Urantia Book was a perversion of the truth. After a long road trip and countless hours of discussion and debates of Urantia vs the Bible in a hotel at 3am in the morning he did something he said he would never do, in Indianapolis Kerry gave his life to Christ. But ultimately the path took a different turn. Kerry said in his book “Seeds of Change” that it was his intention to convert him to the Gospel of Urantia. Until he met up with a man named Jeff who was a lead singer and a Christian for the opening act for the Kansas 1979 tour. Clearly this book had to have spiritual origins.Īt this point Kerry felt his long search had finally ended. And that it the book tends to “awe” the reader with its grand view of the Universe. The vastness of the themes and ideas in the Urantia papers coalesced all the religions into one. He would go on to say that this book gave him all the answers he was looking for. In 1977 he found the Urantia Book, and in his words “had reached the end of the quest and it came full circle back to Jesus”. His early pursuits around 1976 took him mostly into the eastern philosophies after rejecting the Christian message. Wondering where they went became his lifelong search that led him to dabble in just about every philosophy and religion out there.
Kerry was always a spiritual searcher even from his early days after the passing of his two grandmothers of whom he was close.
Not the Christ of the Bible but the Christ as found in the Urantia Papers. On the album Monolith, one of the songs that he wrote “A Glimpse of Home” is about Christ. Livgren was one of the main song writers for the group and soon the Urantia book influences began to make it into his lyrics. Tunes like “Dust in the Wind” and “Carry on my wayward son” are two of the most notable both written by Kerry. Anyone who listened to Kansas in the 70’s and 80’s could clearly here the spiritual messages in the lyrics. This artist was Kerry Livgren, the lead guitar player of the rock group Kansas. One well known artist however says that this book had literally changed his life. According to the TV show Mysterious Universe, Elvis, Jerry Garcia and even Jimi Hendrix has traveled within its pages. Throughout the years there have been many well known celebrities that have read the Urantia book.
