Now this is in direct contradiction to Ra. So either there is some "higher truth" available here for us to discern, or one of those sources is a direct attempt at manipulation and promoting false information.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not saying that Urantia is a "better" source than Ra, only a different source. Hopefully this will avoid a potential derailment here.
Urantia was not approved by Council, according to Ra.
Reincarnation is so basic, that I have a hard time finding much value in any channeled book claiming that it's a 'false doctrine.' One would expect to find that in a Christian-flavored channeled work. Is Urantia Christian-flavored? If so, then I'd say it's the channel's own biases coloring the info. Either that, or intentional disinfo from negative entities, for the purpose of confusing seekers.
That's not to say that there isn't some good info there, but personally I find it too tedious to wade thru a book of that size, to find a few gems, when there is purer info available. It would be like trying to wade thru the Bible! It's too inefficient to have to disregard so much obviously negative info.
To avoid derailment, a discussion about Urantia can be continued in the thread devoted to Urantia.

Indeed there is a smorgasboard of other sources to choose from, undoubtedly so that we may exercise our free will and discernment.
My own discernment tells me that none of the other sources that I've found, come close to the high level of info as well as lack of distortion I see in the Ra material. I personally wouldn't put a source that denies reincarnation in the same league.
(Just my opinion, for what it's worth.)
