Gabriel Rymberg gave a very profound and relevant presentation at Urantia Foundation's 2025 Science Symposium. The recording will be posted very soon on the Foundation's website. Look for it on the Education Page if you missed the presentation.

Can mechanical mind enhance spiritual understanding?
This presentation documents a three-year experiment using AI to study The Urantia Book, demonstrating how artificial intelligence–while lacking consciousness or spiritual capacity–becomes a powerful "cognitive telescope" for discovering patterns within revelation. Through live demonstrations and case studies, including AI-assisted development of educational content, the presentation reveals practical methodologies for leveraging mechanical mind to amplify human spiritual perception while maintaining clear boundaries between computational processing and divine consciousness.

Please take the time to read Gabriel's important in-depth research about AI which is also featured this month here on our website.

An Invitation to Your Group
We would like to invite your study group, society, or association to host a Zoom event to learn more about the study aids and services we have created and are creating for this community and all students of The Urantia Book around the world. We can show you how to use these study aids for your own personal benefit, for your group, or as a way of introducing the teachings to new people. This will take 30-60 minutes as your time available will allow.

We will also provide you with information to participate in the sharing of these projects and the building of awareness and support. If you would like for our CFU team to give a presentation or workshop, please contact us at: Contact@thecenterforunity.org or call 1-765-366-7203.
