While on business trips for IBM picked up UFO books in airports and was stunned by parallel descriptions castigated by mainline science and religion. Learned of Urantia Papers in 1967. Pulled back to the Bible in summer of 1967. This led to recognition that:

1. A high level of intelligence was operating around our planet.

2. The intelligence was from the highest religious universe administration.

3. A master destiny program was underway for our world.

4. We would experience world nuclear holocaust.

5. We would be subject to intense religious persecution as part of a technique to screen the wheat from the chaff.

6. Survivors would enter a new world era, and eventually the world would be totally converted to righteousness and holiness, in blessing and love.
