The Cosmic Citizen

The Joshua Ben Joseph Project is featured again on this week's show. It is an archive highlight or repeat of a show we did in December 2010 with David Kantor and Eric Cosh. This was recorded back when they were preparing to embark on the journey of a lifetime. The journey to find Jesus in history and to follow his footsteps in the Holy Land. It's been a little over a year since this show first aired, and much has been accomplished. There is still much to do. David went again to Israel on January 9th, 2012, to research, consult and compare notes with archeologists from around the world who study and excavate the Holy Land. The Joshua ben Joseph project continues its exploration of the world and life and times of the "true man among men," to illuminate and further contextualize the captivating story which unfolds in Part 4 of The Urantia Book, using the medium of high definition video, still photography, and interviews with knowledgeable archaeologists, historians, and museum curators. The project directly addresses the challenge to be about "the figurative resurrection of the human Jesus from his burial tomb amidst the theological traditions and the religious dogmas of nineteen centuries." If you missed this show when it was first aired, this is a great opportunity to learn about this important and exciting effort. To see their progress to date and find out how you can help visit: http://www.joshua-ben-joseph.org/ We plan to follow up with David and Eric and JBJ's progress on a show in the near future.

Co-creando la  Experiencia Espiritual Dentro de cada ser humano existe una reserva natural de infinito poder espiritual.

Jan 11 Topic: Difference e between healthy and unhealthy love Spiritual Engineering offers an entirely new approach to happiness and relationships.  It applies the scientific procedure to separate symptoms from problems, identify the root problem, evaluate the most effective solution, and then test and verify the results.

This week, we'll be discussing the timeless human longing to know what happens to us after we die and that there is in fact life after death. This is an open phone segment, so please feel free to call.  Everyone dies. There is nobody on earth that doesn't die, sooner or later. This is a fact of our existence and to some degree the only variable is how we will die. Some people know they are dying of an illness and are blessed because knowing allows everyone involved time to assimilate the reality and inevitability of it. It gives them a chance to take care of business and say their goodbyes. It's much harder when someone dies suddenly or accidentally and leaves many loose ends and many things undone. Even so, death certainly comes to everyone. From God's point of view, death is not an end but a beginning and it can help to keep that perspective. Death is really just another birth in an endless cycle of life. Think of the loving hands and warm smiling faces that greet new babies. Emergence into the next world is no different. Imagine the joy on the other side when a newly born soul arrives. Imagine the joy of reunion for those loved ones who have already passed over and the joy of the angels to welcome this beloved child to their new life and their ongoing existence. There must also be an indescribable personal joy of the one who dies but then makes the sublime discovery that there really is no death. There is comfort in the simple reality that God understands why we humans are fearful of the mysteries of life and death. Compared to eternal viewpoints, human viewpoints are as limited as the vision of a new born baby. Perhaps you are grieving a loss. Please call in and share with us your thoughts on life after death.

Is there a correlation bewteen feelings and spiritual progress? Do we have a "right" to get angry? Urantia Book (1204.3)  ...But how unkind knowingly to defile or otherwise deliberately to pollute the physical body, which must serve as the earthly tabernacle of this marvelous gift from God. All physical poisons greatly retard the efforts of the Adjuster to exalt the material mind, while the mental poisons of fear, anger, envy, jealousy, suspicion, and intolerance likewise tremendously interfere with the spiritual progress of the evolving soul     Spiritual Engineering offers an entirely new approach to happiness and relationships.  It applies the scientific procedure to separate symptoms from problems, identify the root problem, evaluate the most effective solution, and then test and verify the results.

For those who tuned in to listen last weekend and were disappointed when the show went off the air due to technical glitches, we sincerely apologize. We hope you had a deeply meaningful Christmas with the ones you love most dear. It's time now to look ahead, to 2012 and all the promise and mystery it holds. This week again, Diane Labrecque will be our special co-host and Christilyn is scheduled to return as well. We will be playing two choice broadcasts by Vern Bennom Grimsley, in tribute to him. Vern, an amazingly gifted teacher of truth, is coming to the end of the of the trail here on this world. He is making ready to embark on a new journey, just as the year ends and another begins, so one journey ends and another begins. We want to share just two of his many inspirational broadcasts with you and then open the phones so you can share your thoughts and reflections with us. Vern has always stood for the Family of God and since we had planned to do Part 3 of Diane's series on being Sons and Daughters of God, it seems only right to do this show in honor of Vern. So please call in and share your thoughts and reflections as we say goodbye to the past and look forward with fond hope and aspiration to the future.
