Byron Belitsos

Byron Belitsos is a publisher and evangelist focused on promoting and exploring the Urantia Revelation—also known as the Urantia Papers or Urantia Book, published in 1955. He sees the Urantia Book as a revelatory text with significant implications for understanding human history and the potential for future transhuman evolution. Belitsos is deeply interested in the intersection of spirituality, transhumanism, and integral perspectives. He argues that a spiritually informed transhumanism is essential for achieving sustainable and desirable human enhancement. He emphasizes the importance of understanding deep history, addressing theological and spiritual poverty, and overcoming the limitations of reductionist and materialist views within the transhumanist movement. As a publisher, Belitsos is actively working to disseminate information about the Urantia Book and its relevance to contemporary discussions on transhumanism. He also organizes conferences that bring together diverse perspectives—including those from Mormon, Uranian, Raëlian, and Wiccan traditions—to explore the book’s themes and implications.

2 Nephi 32:2-3: Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost? Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.”

The Transhumans of Pre-history According to the Urantia Revelation

Byron Belitsos introduces the Urantia Revelation—a purportedly celestial text published in 1955—and explores its implications for transhumanist thought. He argues that the Urantia Book describes prehistoric genetic interventions by celestial beings, including a mission by Adam and Eve as biological “uplifters,” and contends that such transhumanist projects require spiritual depth and celestial oversight to succeed. Belitsos connects these ancient narratives to contemporary scientific findings, including genetic research suggesting a single-source introduction of brain-enhancing genes roughly 37,000 years ago, and calls for an “integrally informed” transhumanism grounded in spirituality rather than materialism.
