1 The approach of GREPS is to be open and meet the personalities interested in the spiritual activities in the system by asking questions and getting answers. This approach is being continued forward in meetings on spirituality, and on the reality of religions. Those people who have been interested already from these meetings and who want to join the study group have been immediately invited to receive the lessons. Otherwise, other people could join the GREPS by relationship who already know about the group.

2 Those who want to be a full member of the study group have begun to study the Urantia Book.

3 This education consists of giving these benefits:

a) The clarity and the encouragement by the regular members of the group. All the cosmology of the Urantia Book is being taught progressively. We know that the book is very expensive, and the experience has shown us that going through the book without intellectual, moral and spiritual support could not be possible for the people. The understanding of the Urantia Book, whatever its aspect and its cultural level, is so high that it needs a very advanced mind. Most of the people who have already received these teachings are enjoying them, and testify that they will never reach God without this kind of support.

b) For those personalities an opportunity has been given to them to tell progressively the transformation they have had, and the progress they are making in their understanding of God. These discussions reinforce in a large way their willingness and the faith of their experience.

c) As well as they are continuing with the study group they share their knowledge with the others. They assist or they work with a newcomer, after with two people, later with three people, later with seven people, later with twelve people in different ways. From that method we realize how deep the elevation of their souls are being developed with the others.

d) After a long period of practice, these people have been asked to give lectures based on their comprehension of the Deity and the ascension.

e) The same personality has to facilitate a similar group to give spiritual education.

f) This progressing soul is pushing to coordinate his action with the effort of the planet and the spiritualization of humanity.

g) This personality has to work successfully toward the fusion with his thought adjuster.

IV ORGANIZATION OF GREPS

1) The GREPS is headed by a President who is the founder. He has initiated and participated in the spiritual education of all the members.

He is mainly in charge with the control of the group and the progressive effort for individual link with the spiritual progress, of the specific personal work of clarity and progression in the field of the situation of spiritual experiences and of the method of evaluation.

2) The GREPS has a very big group of spiritually advanced members which are the staff in charge of spiritual education of the progressing students. Each member of that staff has from ten to fifteen years spiritual experience with the Urantia Book, and the progressing students have at least five years spiritual experience with the Urantia Book.

All these members have given themselves to God, and work and search for Him through their lifetime. From these experiences of service and sharing with human beings they want to share their wisdom with them.

These students, the members of the staff, and the supervisors are working on these following subjects:

1) The reading of the Urantia Book

2) The concrete teachings and the relation of the previous revelations

3) To operate and enlarge an individual spiritual consciousness

4) To consider a new perspective on the spiritual life

5) To make modification and change to anyone

6) To elaborate a new ideal of life

7) To make a conception and acceptation for a new application of the religious service in all social areas. We have to mention that it is very important that all members of GREPS are engaged in contributing in the perfection and comprehension of all effort of social and family ideals within conferences, local gatherings, symposiums, or any meeting places.

We have to mention that the President of GREPS, Mr. Moussa Ndiaye intervenes in the progressive education of the members of the staff and the newcomer students as are indicated above and below.

The education of the third level of the students who do not have an advance level begins in one month and lasts for many years. They have to master good experiences in the teachings of the Urantia Book. Their education should be individually based, but sometimes there is a lack of time because of their daily occupation, and they work at the rate of one hour per week, however, their number is increasing.

The President of the GREPS and their supervisors are guiding these students. The number of these teachers could increase at any time possible. The comprehension of the Urantia Book will enlarge a great number of spiritual personalities.

The organization of the GREPS will proceed as follows:

1 The President

2 The staff of the major educators

3 The staff of the progressing students

4 The staff of newcomers

N.B. 1) The loving God and the spiritual service are free for any participants in the group.

2) The total respect of the freedom of the personality and the freedom of their thought which guarantees the individual security in GREPS.

3) Those advanced students and the President of GREPS in charge of their progressive education are to make similar groups of classes, and have to maintain responsibility in behalf of God.

V INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

The GREPS is working for any friendly collaboration with any individual and any group that are working for the same goal, the program of spiritual progress for humanity. Specifically, for those individuals and groups who have to search a very big profit from the Urantia Book and have to realize the Fifth Epochal Revelation of God on Earth.

We are ready to share with any experiences, methods, advice, exchanges that could be profitable from anyone.

Our eyes and our ears are open to African, American, European, Asiatic, Australian, and other countries. We are grateful to the different support from any foundation or association that exists:

1 The Urantia Foundation, Chicago

2 The Urantia Book Fellowship, Chicago

3 The Urantia Foundation, Paris, France

4 The Jesusonian Foundation, Colorado

5 The School of Meanings and Values, California

6 The Square Circles Publishing, California

Thank you for Mr. Norman Ingram and Roger Goffeney which have given us the possibility to communicate and live friendly with a very deep communion with that Urantia Book revelation.

Many members of the Urantia group are living very far from the group, but their collaboration and spiritual comprehension are still alive in the association.

CONCLUSION

We have to emphasize that our main preoccupation and useful concern of GREPS is to share the knowledge and the likeness of God, based on the revelation of the Urantia Book.

Nevertheless, we know that these goals are the studies which concern the evolution of the human being’s activities toward the high objectives of Light and Life.

In fact, we know that these concepts of the experience of the life of human beings have to progress in the participation and the cooperation of their will. The GREPS will keep progressing by making efforts to help the human society.

We are very interested in any factors of the society who can facilitate us to reach the family and the nations’ ideals.
