Discerning People Who Try To Become Famous On The Coattails of Famous People

by Gabriel of Urantia

Unfortunately there are selfish so-called journalists who try to, and often do, make themselves famous on the coattails of great men and women with their derogatory misrepresentation of those individuals. This has happened for thousands of years, and many a good person and their families have been hurt in various ways by such yellow journalism, which really isn’t journalism at all. Yellow journalism is based on sensationalism and crude exaggeration, which is misleading, with many falsehoods and information that is not truthful.

Many yellow journalists, with an agenda to create a juicy story, seek out apostates from a particular group with an ax to grind—either religious, political, or another type of organization. Usually the leaders of the group are targeted, and these journalists feed off of the apostates’ embittered perceptions of the former groups they once were loyal to. The more abusive and hateful the apostate is, the more exciting the story. Obviously, without the ethics of true journalism, which considers all angles and sides of a story, there rarely will be an entirely factual and truthful representation from these type of journalists, who are not really concerned about truth. They are “looking for blood” to feed those who thrive on hate. (more…)

One Nation Under Who?

by Gabriel of Urantia

“One Nation Under God.” Are we? Our Constitution was written by men of God, bound together by the sufferings of their forefathers in Europe over the abuse of authority by so-called “men and women of God,” who ruled with self-righteousness, just like the Pharisees did during the times of Jesus—remembering that it was the so-called men of God (the Pharisees) who actually put Jesus on the cross.

The Civil War that occurred from 1861 through 1865 was fought with brother against brother, friend against friend, and, in some cases, fathers against sons—a horrible war that only happened because men of God on both sides forgot to live up to one of the Commandments of “Thou shalt not kill.”

Civil wars are the worst kind of wars. It’s not like you are fighting an enemy that is trying to take over your country from the outside, but in a civil war it’s trying to take over one’s country from the inside—a battle of, first, consciousness against consciousness. The Constitution was written so this kind of thing would not happen. The writers were aware of the many revolutions in Europe and knew full well how terrible civil wars are. (more…)

There Is Only One Side

by Gabriel of Urantia

America—(the regathering of the ancient tribes of Israel)—is now at a transition point, which will determine how the rest of the tribulation will go in the next four years on Earth, particularly in America and Western civilization. The forces of the fallen mind have been at war with the forces of the light and souls of light and love. (more…)

Wake up America! What is the True Great American Dream?

by Niánn Emerson Chase

What is the true American Dream? I think in actuality, it is a universal dream, innate in all humans—it’s the drive to find God and to experience and express the love of our Divine Creator, Father/Mother God. This inner drive, when we follow it, can manifest in many wonderful ways:

• through the unfoldment of individuals into great humans who do noble and compassionate deeds, in small and big ways
• through the development of beautifully diverse languages, cultures, art forms, and religions
• through the beneficial progress of worldwide civilization in knowledge, philosophy, and spirituality

However, in order for all of these inspirational elements of growth to become part of the true universal dream, our foundation and motivation must be of love—divine love—for any expression of the Universal Father/Mother of Light is always motivated by pure love. (more…)

Harmonic Duality within Divine Circuitry

By Niánn Emerson Chase

There is a building wave of multiple planetary movements working toward compassionate understanding of others, nonviolent solutions to our many problems, peaceful unification of nations, and an integrative and regenerative existence of humans with the planet’s natural ecosystems.

Within that wave of movements for worldwide sustainability on all levels of human existence are the Me Too and LGBTQ movements, which have to do with gender identification, respect, and equality. The last three years witnessed an almost-instant rise in power and influence of these two movements, impacting every aspect of the dominant culture, including new legislation of laws protecting the rights and dignity of women and those who have lifestyles that do not include straight heterosexuality.

The "Occupy Movement" Was Actually The Right Name Because The "99%" Is A Misnomer

The Leftover Middle Class Are The Silent Apathy-ites

by Van/ Gabriel of Urantia / TaliasVan

The “99%” is correct conceptually but wrong in reality, because there are still a great number of middle class, leftover from the good ol’ days, with enough money in the bank for them to feel secure. As a matter of fact, they do not see themselves as part of the 99%. In this article, I will refer to these “couch sitters” as the apathy-ites. They think that people who take to the streets protesting any form of injustice are leftover hippies, or the poor who do not want to work, or young people who are just looking to cause trouble—even if some of those demonstrators are their own children, who are in debt thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, with little hope of getting a job in the career they got a degree for or are trying to get a degree in.

What’s Going On? Is There A Real Answer?

The Cleansing Process Of The Earth In Relationship To The Cleansing Of Our Souls At This Time Of Pandemic, Social Unrest, Rioting, and Earth Changes

by Van / Gabriel of Urantia / TaliasVan

More than twenty years ago in Sedona, Arizona, I began to talk about a spiritual revolution that would be the solution for the ills of our country and the entire planet. Since that time, many have picked up on the idea of a “spiritual revolution” and used it in their own outreaches and ministries to the world, because it is a great concept. But we should not just talk about the problems of our nation and world but actually do something about them.

The term I coined, Spiritualution^sm—the fusion of spirituality with activism, which actually creates a spiritual revolution—is unique, because basically it puts the responsibility of change on each individual. Spiritualution is not a movement of millions on the street doing civil disobedience. It goes way beyond that. (more…)

USA, Mass Shootings and Reaching Higher

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

The last few days have been filled with NEWS about the Mass Shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Watching TV coverage I over heard the Mayor of Dayton indicate that this shooting was the 250th Mass Shooting in the USA; while it is difficult to determine how accurate this number and there is discussion about what constitutes a mass shooting, clearly, we have an ongoing problem that has not been effectively addressed by any segment of our society. Again, sadly many are dead/injured and many others suffering at the hands of 2 very misguided individuals.

This problem does not have a simple, one or 2 step solution: it will take years and people working on different levels of our society to turn this around; limiting sale of fire arms and back ground checks on gun purchases is a beginning.  These two changes will not get the whole job done but are a long sought starting place. Comprehensive action is very late, must be put forward quickly and relatively free of selfish interest. Finally- we must work together. (more…)

Wake Up America

by Gabriel of Urantia

Dear America,

The Irish philosopher and statesmen Edmund Burke, around the time of our own Constitution, said “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”  This very well may have been a truth that George Washington and other writers of our Constitution read, before they wrote our Constitution in 1776.

It does indeed take good men and women to speak out against tyranny and racism in order to curb it and hopefully stop it in its tracks. How did we get to this place where possibly half our country is crying out “send them back to where they belong”? — echoing the cries of the President of the United States, which at one time was the office and mandate that had the respect of all the peoples of our planet, and our country has the writing on the Statue of Liberty which says:

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" (more…)

Trumped-up wars

By William T. Hathaway

"Obey me or die!"
the orange-haired man threatens the world.
"My drones know you're home,
and my missiles don't miss.
I'm Commander in Chief, CinC for short.
I'll sink you into the sea, fry you crisp,
burn you to dust with the push of a button.
I'll overthrow your governments,
strangle your economies,
jail your refugees.
I'm the trumpet of doom,
I'll turn your land into a tomb!"

CinC, this may shock you,
but there are higher commanders than you,
and to Them we appeal for peace
and deliverance from you:

"Jaya Jaya, Vinayaka
Hara Kailash
Durga Rakshakari
Rudra Shanti
Vidjayante Taram

Protect us from the orange fire
of the orange demon
and all his NATO agents of orange.
Disembody these demons, vanish them,
banish them into the dungeon of perdition
their deeds have built for them.

Om namah Shivaya"

William T. Hathaway's first novel, A World of Hurt, won a Rinehart Foundation Award, and his new one, Wellsprings: A Fable of Consciousness, deals with the environmental crisis as an old woman and a young man battle the corporations controlling our shrinking water supplies: https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/cosmicegg-books/our-books/wellsprings.
