Millions of people listen to YouTube channels on the Internet. So in a very real way, we have a variety of Internet journalists who affect the mass consciousness of those who listen to them on a daily basis, just like millions of Americans listen to the nightly news through ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox. These two views of reality—independent Internet commentators and mainstream ...

I believe that on a planet far, far away, in a distant galaxy, in a time light years away of the past, I was an actor, director, and producer of higher-consciousness films. So I have a lot to say about the film industry here on Earth. But for now I’ll try to keep this as basic as possible. In this life I did do some professional extra work in my early thirties, but my main thrust was to ...

I do not think our Founding Fathers meant “free speech” to mean use slander, misrepresentation, character defamation, bigotry, and prejudice in general. Contrary to that, the true ideal of free speech is to prevent all communication that is based on prejudice of any kind. The Founding Fathers and their ancestors had suffered in Europe from false accusations and misrepresentation by the...

This article is not just about the Oscars, it’s about the unethical practices, immorality, and injustice that is prevalent in all areas of society, which includes the highly influential film and music industry in Hollywood. The movie industry has become very corrupted, with much confusion as to what values should be reflected in motion pictures that would inspire progress in the evolution of ...

We may have our likes and dislikes of the person holding the Presidency, but we do great disservice to our country when we disrespect the office that the President occupies, as so many did with the previous President. We don’t have to believe in every doctrine of the new President; as a matter of fact, we don’t have to believe in any of them. But we need to respect the office and not ...

From the beginning of the Lucifer Rebellion around 200,000 years ago, humans—as well as nonhuman mortals and various celestial orders in the system of Satania—have had to make the decision between following God’s ways or rebelling against them, and this has been the way on our fallen world since then.1 The Old and New Testaments of the Bible refer to families at war among each other that ...

I am a “Baby Boomer” and grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, with memories of television shows like the one about the Nelson family, which depicted a happy, easy-going American family living the American Dream. When I graduated high school in 1964—even though the Vietnam War was going on and I was stupid enough to try to join the Marines—there was still a sense of the future. There was...

To stop these senseless serial killings in our schools and other places, I’m going to coin the term “cultural rehabilitation,” for this is what we have to do in our country. We live in a violent country. We see violence in our films, on television, and in the news. We live with the constant bombarding of who did what to whom. Mental illness is not just with the shooters. To a ...

Great minds—from philosophers to spiritual writers to holy persons (like Aristotle, Plato, Confucius, Omar Khayyam, Descartes, Aquinas, and Theresa of Avila of older eras and Kant, Thoreau, Thomas Merton, Krishnamurti, Teilhard de Chardin, Thich Nhat Hanh, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Mary Baker Eddy, and Alice Bailey of more contemporary times)—all have had their slant on what they think true ...

I’m sure that many of the activists in neighboring Arivaca (of Pima County, Arizona) can identify to some extent with this article and my experiences. I am very proud to live in Santa Cruz County—a county that has a good number of activists for a variety of worthy causes. And I want to honor Mayor Garino of Nogales, Arizona for his valiant stance for prayer before the council meetings—a ...

I write this article on some of the deceptions that Caligastia historically has used and continues to use now to discredit both The URANTIA Book and the Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation (found in The Cosmic Family volumes). Deception through decoy has been a major trick of the fallen Planetary Prince of Urantia (Caligastia) since his fall 200,000 years ago, beginning by aligning with ...

Many scientists in physics and in other areas of science are finding out that everything is connected. The micro/macro connection is from the smallest atom to the largest star. Great writers throughout history have written about this universal connection, such as Walt Whitman, who said when a leaf drops stars feel it. Since everything is energy, broken circuitry from the source of energy affects ...

I am glad that so many Occupiers all over the country have been taking my advice and trying to start communities and grow organic food. But sustainable living is not just a physical thing that you do and goals of things to accomplish. Long-lasting and continually evolving sustainable living is a shift in consciousness, a state of being. It is a total lifestyle and a way of thinking and doing that ...

After 3,000 Americans were killed on 9/11, that painful memory was still fresh and the healing and reparations were still under way when then-President George W. Bush made his famous speech where he encouraged everyone "to go shopping more." In our profit-driven economy, the big corporations—owned by the 1%—want Americans and the so-called “free world” to be consumers, ...

To answer the questions posed in the title of this article, you have to ask what are you trying to be safe from—weather catastrophes or invading armies or starvation or wild animals or poisonous insects and other creatures? Often just using good common sense keeps us safe when making decisions concerning certain geographic areas. For instance, if you wanted to be 100% safe from ...

I personally believe that there should be no borders anywhere on the earth and that we are all planetary citizens, in actuality one planetary family. I coined the phrase in the 1990s: “One God, One Planetary Family.” The power elite or the 1% would want a different kind of one world government for their own greedy and power-hungry reasons, so that negative movement is ...

There is a rift now within the general nationwide Occupy movement between the Declaration (99D) project (who want to set up a New Continental Congress with a new Constitution, mostly organized by a man called Michael Pollok, a New York criminal attorney) and the rest of the Occupy movement, who had a General Assembly meeting in Philadelphia on July 4, 2012, comprised of its many contingencies...

I was a volunteer chaplain at the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. I worked at the county jail from 1977 to 1982. I also worked with the pre-trial release program of the Department of Economic Security and accepted prisoners to my halfway house, if I thought I could work with them. Many of these prisoners I got personally involved with. I went to their trials. I learned a lot about the...

The Republican nominees who ran for the presidential candidacy in the 2011 and 2012 can also be called “the parade of new souls.” There is a lot to learn about the difference between a new soul and an older soul or starseed, which has taken me authoring two published books (called The Cosmic Family, Volumes I and II) so far to even begin to teach. But for the clarity of this ...

On Saturday my wife and I were driving to the Occupy movement in Tucson that was going to march to the Bank of America to protest. My son and two daughters were there already, as well as several others from our intentional community. We drove past the University of Arizona stadium where the Wildcats football team was playing that day. We saw hundreds of college students walking with six-packs in ...

When I was a young man in my late twenties, I went to a sweat lodge facilitated by a shaman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who was a Taino native from the tribe where Christopher Columbus landed in Central America. I told him about a book I was reading by two white Harvard graduates and pointed out a part in the book that talked about some seagulls showing up over Columbus’ ship and ...

Firstly, whenever the poor and disenfranchised—who were abused for years—took to the streets, they were hosed, attacked by the police dogs, beaten with sticks, and pepper sprayed. But now this new 99% movement is not just a movement of poor blacks or other minorities but a combination of white and black races as well as yellow, brown, and red. It is a true racial coalition that ...

1. The rich would give most of their money away that they really don't need to the needy. They would become true philanthropists. The line between the rich and the poor would vanish. A responsible way to do this would be to give increments of money to respected and proven spiritual and church leaders so that they could disperse responsibly to the needy. This is the method Jesus used with the ...

Jesus wasn’t a politician. However, I recently watched both Democratic and Republican debates. I was hoping to watch a third-party debate, but that’s another article. Maybe 10 minutes of the more than four hours of presentations were spent on the need for free national healthcare. And in those 10 minutes, from all of the candidates, I think I understood about 5 seconds of their ...

The following are definitions of both democracy and republic (from Microsoft Bookshelf ’95). de • moc • ra • cy noun 1. Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives. 2. A political or social unit that has such a government. 3. The common people, considered as the primary source of political power. 4. Majority rule. 5. The ...

The Occupy movement—no matter how many protestors—is overpowered by the might of the power-elite’s police force and “weapons of gas-destruction” against the poor and disenfranchised, students, and the once middle class, as the early colonists were by the British empire. Long before the first shot was fired at Lexington—the shot heard ‘round the ...

History does not talk much about it (with the exception of the Old Testament and other holy writings of various religions), but most of the prophets and holy men of old have been revolutionaries, including Jesus Christ. Even over the last few centuries, revolutionaries like George Washington, Joseph Smith (of the Mormons), and Gandhi were men who prayed to the Creator for guidance. When they...
