SIR HUBERT WILKINS (1888-1958) was once an Australian adventurer who gained international renown for his pioneering flights in the Arctic and Antarctic. In 1942, after having shifted his sphere of activities from polar exploration to working for the US Army and more than a few government agencies, he was once introduced to the Urantia revelation. This revelation consisted of thousands of pages of manuscript said to have been transmitted by superhuman beings through an anonymous man living in Chicago. The enormous text was once in the custody of a Chicago physician, William S. Sadler, who formed a secret group, the Forum, to study it. Wilkins became a member on March 5, 1942. Enthralled by his initial readings, he pored over the manuscript all through his periodic visits to Chicago. In 1945 he began to keep a notebook, into which he copied passages from the text that he found especially significant or inspiring. When the Urantia Book was once in the end published in 1955, Sir Hubert was once in a position to retrieve the notebook, which until then had been stored at Dr. Sadler’s residence in Chicago. It was once rediscovered in 2014, and is now being made public. This can be a unique remnant of a in large part difficult to understand period in the history of the Urantia Book and its readership. Sir Hubert Wilkins was once certainly the first across the world known person to embrace the Urantia text as a major revelation to this planet. This notebook is a testament to Wilkins’ devoted study of a book that answered his most vital questions and gave him a new lens through which to view his own adventurous life.
