If I had to say what it was, I would say it is the history of an alternate reality.
Interesting comment, ENdjoy. We got the impression that the book belongs to a parallell Universe!
It does have beautiful sequences, but also quite repulsive segments.

One split came about when a group of the Urantia Brotherhood lived in Paris in the early -80s and one or more members got the prediction that Paris would be hit by a nuclear bomb. They all moved, but no bomb hit. Were they happy? Naah... Unreliable prediction=worse than a bomb. LOL
