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.

The Disgrace & Lawlessness of England

Here is Moreen calling for your support to help girls stay in school by making Reusable Sanitary Pads.

TEAM FUNDRAISER

Gretchen Truschel and Waiswa John Billy are organizing this fundraiser.

• Created July 22, 2019
• Education & Learning

22% of Ugandan girls drop out of school due to lack of Sanitary Napkins to use during their menstrual period. This has greatly affected their future and increased the level of illiteracy among Ugandan Girls. 

In our efforts at Youth in Act-Uganda to keep a Girl Child in school we will need to raise $750 to provide Sanitary Napkins to school going girls in Uganda and to train them how to make reusable Sanitary Pads and Menstrual Hygiene Management.

We have a need for both reusable and disposables. We give out disposable napkins after training the young girls on how to make the reusable napkins. We show them how to make reusable pads so they will be able provide for themselves and continue their education.


We run this project in rural public schools. These are school with less fortunate children. We have girls like Nabirye Moreen,  who is one of the trainers of making the reusable sanitary napkins. This project costs $750 and we would greatly appreciate your support to keep A Girl in School through Youth In Act- Uganda’s Sanitary Napkin Project August 2019.

 

Please Support this cause.

“Some days are OK, some are good and some will stay with me forever.” -Scott Neeson

When Hollywood marketing executive Scott Neeson embarked on a sabbatical between jobs in 2003, he couldn’t have imagined how it would change his life. On a trip to Phnom Penh, Scott saw hundreds of children and their families living and working on the Steung Meanchey garbage dump, one of the most toxic environments imaginable. It was a moment that changed his life.

Scott had a 26-year career in the film business, including tenure as President of 20th Century Fox International. Scott thought he had it all – a powerful role in the film industry, celebrity friends, a big house, fancy cars and a boat.

But in 2003, Scott’s view on life changed completely when he found himself looking out across the Steung Meanchey garbage dump at hundreds of children scavenging through garbage.

Soon after, Scott made the decision to resign from his job, sell all of his possessions and focus his energy and passion into the Cambodian Children’s Fund. Twelve years later and Scott’s journey still captivates, inspires and bewilders people from all over the world.

“The moment I stepped there it was the single most impactful moment in my life. I was standing there facing into the abyss.”

About Lissa Rankin, MD:
New age gurus suggest that we can heal ourselves by simply changing our minds, but is this concept grounded in cold, hard science? Lissa Rankin, MD explores the scientific literature, reviewing case studies of spontaneous remission, as well as placebo and nocebo effect data, to prove that our thoughts powerfully affect our physiology when we believe we can get well.

On this season finale special episode of Going Underground, we speak to legendary journalist and film-maker John Pilger on a round-up of all the latest issues. John describes the current state of global affairs as in a state of world war, warning that the ‘coming war on China’ he warned about…has now arrived, he also discusses the Hong Kong protests and why they have grown, along with US involvement in the unrest. He discusses the collapse of the global nuclear arms control framework with the end of the INF Treaty and the beginning of a new arms race with Russia, amid a situation where he describes it as Washington’s goal to break up the Russian Federation under Putin. He also warns of the increased risk of nuclear war as nuclear superpowers such as Pakistan and India are also entering major tensions between each other. John Pilger also discusses his concern with John Bolton being at the ear of Donald Trump, how Brexit has created mass-distraction in the UK from the most pressing of issues at home (such as austerity and the NHS) and abroad. He slams sanctions on Venezuela and Iran and also updates us on the condition of Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange, after he visited him recently in Belmarsh prison.
