> Help keep the Urantia Papers API free and open for everyone.

Hello 👋 I'm [Kelson](https://github.com/kelsonic) — I build and maintain this project. Questions or feedback? [kelson@urantia.dev](mailto:kelson@urantia.dev)

Throughout history, every revelation has followed the same pattern: institutions form around it, claim authority over it, and gatekeep access. The teachings get locked behind organizations, copyrights, and approval processes. Derivative works get restricted. The community loses control.

I'm building this project to make sure that doesn't happen with the Urantia Papers.

Everything here is **MIT-licensed and free** — the API, the data, the audio, the search infrastructure. Anyone can build on it. Translations, apps, study tools, AI integrations — whatever you want to create, you're safe to use this material without asking permission.

The goal is simple: **open infrastructure for the community**, so the fifth epochal revelation stays accessible to everyone.
