"Much of my difficulty was due to the unending conflict between the two natures of my subject: the urge of ambition opposed by animal indolence; the ideals of a superior people crossed by the instincts of an inferior race; the high purposes of a great mind antagonized by the urge of a primitive inheritance; the long-distance view of a far-seeing Monitor counteracted by the nearsightedness of a creature of time; the progressive plans of an ascending being modified by the desires and longings of a material nature; the flashes of universe intelligence cancelled by the chemical-energy mandates of the evolving race; the urge of angels opposed by the emotions of an animal; the training of an intellect annulled by the tendencies of instinct; the experience of the individual opposed by the accumulated propensities of the race; the aims of the best overshadowed by the drift of the worst; the flight of genius neutralized by the gravity of mediocrity; the progress of the good retarded by the inertia of the bad; the art of the beautiful besmirched by the presence of evil; the buoyancy of health neutralized by the debility of disease; the fountain of faith polluted by the poisons of fear; the spring of joy embittered by the waters of sorrow; the gladness of anticipation disillusioned by the bitterness of realization; the joys of living ever threatened by the sorrows of death."

Paper 111 - The Adjuster and the Soul
Section 7.5 The Adjuster's Problem
Author: a guardian seraphim (angel)
[ The long sentence is preceded by this introduction of the presenter of Paper 111, a Solitary Messenger of Orvonton:
"The higher human races of Urantia are complexly admixed; they are a blend of many races and stocks of different origin. This composite nature renders it exceedingly difficult for the Monitors to work efficiently during life and adds definitely to the problems of both the Adjuster and the guardian seraphim after death. Not long since I was present on Salvington and heard a guardian of destiny present a formal statement in extenuation of the difficulties of ministering to her mortal subject. This seraphim said:" (111:7.4) ]

The Urantia Book is a published text containing spiritual and philosophical teachings, believed by some to have been transmitted by celestial beings. The Urantia Papers are the original manuscripts on which The Urantia Book is based. The Papers are said to have been authored by celestial beings but were later compiled and edited to create The Urantia Book.
This question has long been answered by Paper 92 of the Urantia Papers. In particular, the first Urantia Book did not exist when the words of 92:4.4 were written: "There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance": 1. The Dalamatian teachings. (early humans) 2. The Edenic teachings. (Adam and Eve) 3. Melchizedek of Salem. 4. Jesus of Nazareth. (Christ Michael) 5. The Urantia Papers. So, Urantia Book can only be "the human compilation of the Urantia Papers into book format." Seemingly, an insignificant point unless in the future the Book becomes sacred to some readers, since as "Papers" that sacredness is not easily assigned (and perhaps why the revelators chose "Papers" for 92:4.4 knowing that "Book" would be the first published format).
The books of Urantia and the Apocrypha are considered religious texts that offer insights and teachings for their respective traditions. Whether they are "true" is a matter of individual belief and interpretation. Some people view them as sacred texts with deep spiritual significance, while others may approach them as historical or literary works.

Urantia Book
A concept derived from the story of Melchizedek in the Urantia Book: About 4000 years ago, this priest of Salem declared "I am Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon, the Most High, the one and only God" (93:2.1). A decade later, Melchizedek sent an invitation to Abraham, saying "Come to Salem, where you shall hear our teachings of the truth of the eternal Creator" (93:5.5). "And this preacher of a supernal God never ceased to proclaim this God of love. 'I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of contrite and humble spirit.' And once again did the fear-destroying gospel of Melchizedek shine forth for the blessing of mankind" (97:7.12). In the spirit of Melchizedek, our planet's third epochal revelation, this "Urantia Blessing" has again appeared with the arrival of our fifth epochal revelation, the Urantia Papers. The Papers were received in the early decades of the 20th century then compiled later to create the Urantia Book, first published in 1955. This new concept of "the Urantia Blessing" (theUB) includes all five epochal revelations as described in the Urantia Papers: "There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance" (92:4.4). These five epochal revelations begin with the Dalamatian teachings (early humans) and are followed consecutively by the Edenic teachings (Adam and Eve), Melchizedek of Salem, Jesus of Nazareth and the Urantia Papers.
