Perhaps the most unique aspect of the text is its use of science in supporting its claims. First appearing in Chicago during an unspecified year, The Urantia Book details philosophical, spiritual, and religious beliefs that delve into life’s true meaning.

While the founders of Celestial Seasonings have not been tied to cult activity, the spiritual and religious practices often associated with them have.
