INTRODUCTORY FILM PROGRESS UPDATE: TITLE CHANGED;
SIMULTANEOUS ENGLISH/SPANISH RELEASE PLANNED

"Who Say You That I Am?" is now the official title for the feature length introduction to The Urantia Book based on the repercussions of Michael's bestowal. The challenge is to produce an introductory film that transforms a great deal of historical and technical information into a compelling and engaging narrative. The solution chosen is to construct the film around the spiritual experience of a number of individuals whose lives have been impacted by the bestowal and who, in turn, have influenced the continuing unfolding of those repercussions.  read more

In 1955 a small group of people published an epochal revelation--The Urantia Book--which had been in production for some thirty years. Today, sixty years later, with sixteen translations and four more in process, The Urantia Book is stimulating a global grass-roots religious transformation with a potential to rival the impact of the Protestant Reformation.

This short video visually compares the times of The Urantia Book's publication with the world in which it is initiating a religious renaissance today.

In popular religion today, personal religious experience is often understood as the cultivation of particular states of consciousness and the construction of an idealized self. 

How does this relate to the Urantia Book’s vision of a quest for cosmic citizenship in a personal universe?

This 15 minute video covers the basics of personal religion, cosmic citizenship, the nature of the soul, and how we prepare for eternal life.

When only one side of a story is told, the truth can be blurred or completely disjointed. When Maryam arrived in the U.S. she encountered stereotypes and predisposed opinions causing her to hide her own identity as Iranian. She now describes how she rekindled the pride she once had for her motherland, Iran, through curating a photo exhibit that celebrates Iran's rich culture, diversity and beauty. Maryam Ghadiri is originally from Iran and came to Purdue University to pursue her PhD. Her main passion in life is nature, education and art. She tries to combine her passion with her current work at the Center for Global Soundscapes at Purdue University. For her PhD, she designs multi­modal curricula for middle school and the visually impaired youth to teach the ecological concepts of soundscape ecology through different hands on activities and field work. For her, environmental education is not just teaching science, it is mainly about creating amazing learning experiences to motivate young students and make them value nature as well as science. As a visual artist, she always incorporates art in scientific activities and believes that art and science can be interconnected as they inspire both scientists and artists.
