Spirituality, science, culture as well as the wisdom of The Urantia Book, gurus, clips will be discussed here. Join us and feel free to respond !
From 1979 onwards slowly I became more and more intrigued with the question .. what are we doing here ? Around this time I arrived in India were I met a wonderful teacher called Osho ( then Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh : 1931-1990 ) with whom I was involved for the next ten years.
In the nineties I started reading about the work and life of other spiritual teachers like J. Krishnamurti, Adi Da, Andrew Cohen, Muktananda, Gurdjieff etc. Also I met two Dutch teachers, Alexander Smit ( 1948-1998 ) and Paul Romer ( Tukaram : 1944-2012 ) who both touched me in different ways.
Around 1999 I discovered wonderful pictures of the oldest stargalaxies of the universe in some dumpshop for books, looking like chandeliers. I bought the atlas at the time only to inquire about them in june 2006 at the Publisher ( Philip's in London ). A friendly editor told me that these were pics of the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ), and that he had no idea why these pics more or less disappeared after the year 2000 from relevant books.
Thus slowly a new process started where I realized that beauty is not necessarily relevant for scientists.
In the beginning of 2002 I discovered the text of the voluminous Urantia Book and a few months later the wonderful crop circles which ( I more or less realized ) must have something to do with the cosmic spiritual reality that is written about in The Urantia Book.
It took some time again to deal with new questions, like why are the crop circles not mentioned at all in The Urantia Book, and why do realized spiritual teachers not mention what The Urantia Book suggests, namely : OUR PLANET HAS A NAME .
In my presentation I elaborate on these and other matters, and thus hopefully suggest that the elegant spiritual teachers of the world, the crop circles, the great Urantia Book and developments in science and culture in fact all seem to be interrelated in a way that is heartwarming, enlightening, inspiring.
Particularly so since scientists - in the past decade - seem to have recognized several strange anomalies in the oldest galaxies ( the ellipticals ) which indeed suggest that what The Urantia Book mentions about the way the universe 'works' makes perfect sense.
