Fifty million Americans are now religiously unaffiliated, and the trend is growing fast. Last week a new study revealed that 30-40% of young people don't go to church -ever. And yet most say they're not atheists. What's happening to religion in America, and what does it mean for our spiritual future? Clark Strand thinks the answer to both questions is i-Religion. "People today download spiritual beliefs and practices just like songs onto an iPod, assembling an individualized play list, rather than just passively accepting the whole-CD approach of organized religion. Today, you can practice yoga without becoming a Hindu, and you don't have to be a Jew or Christian to believe in God. We're on the brink of a global spiritual revolution, assembling the best of everything to guide us on the path ahead." Strand is a former Zen Buddhist monk and the founder of a weekly inter-religious Bible study group. His new book is "How to Believe in God: Whether You Believe in Religion or Not." - www.

David Ditchfield is a near-death experience (NDE)-inspired artist, composer, and author. He wants to use his NDE to make a positive difference to people's lives. In 2006, he was dragged under a speeding train in a freak accident. As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound NDE. When he woke up in hospital, he had acquired astonishing new abilities. He found he could paint dramatic paintings of what he had seen in the Afterlife, far beyond any artistic ability he had before. He then discovered he could compose classical music, having never received any training. To this day, he cannot read or write a single note of musical notation, and yet his debut NDE-inspired symphony, The Divine Light, was premiered at a sell-out orchestral concert to a standing ovation. He has since composed further classical works which have also been premiered at sell-out concerts and completed over 40 paintings. He lives, paints and composes in a converted riverside mill near Cambridge, UK.

For the past 70 years, the topic of extraterrestrial intelligent beings and UFO's has been controversial, if not ridiculed. Despite many sightings and events, government, military and media have made a strong attempt to discredit the idea of extraterrestrial "aliens". And in the face of their apparent "disbelief" of the topic, the same military and governments have spent huge amounts of money secretly studying these "ridiculous" UFO's and aliens. Thanks to freedom of information, and the actions of many with first hand experience, thousands of documents, witness testimony and data have surfaced, making the ridicule posed on ufology by media and governments seem staged and forced, with a very secret intent.

To name a few reasons why this topic is important, and why it must be subjected to rigorous scientific study:
1) Countries are beginning to release highly classified documents proving their governments interest in aliens and UFO's.
2) Hundreds of highly credible witnesses have come forward with testimony that at least some UFO's are verifiable alien technology.

The Holy Universe - David Christopher is an award-winning author and teacher of the "new story," a story that integrates the science of the 20th and 21st centuries with a spiritual sensibility toward the creation of the Universe. He became intrigued with this story over 15 years ago. But as he dove deeper into this new worldview, he felt something was missing. He missed the poetry. He missed the lyricism of the liturgy and the sound of the scriptures. He wanted more. He wanted a story that also felt like the story given to him in his youth.nThis led him to write The Holy Universe: A New Story of Creation for the Heart, Soul and Spirit, which just recently won the Silver in the Nautilus Book Awards for Religion and Spirituality. David brings life to the scientific study of the Universe, transforming it into a lyrical narrative of the story of Creation. Leaving behind corporate and airline careers, David has pursued his passion for exploring the answers to humanity's questions about our place in the Universe, bringing forth this new story for our turbulent times. The dialogues within The Holy Universe are an outgrowth of 15 years of David's delving into the works of transformational scientists, philosophers, and theologians, along with his work with the Pachamama Alliance's Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium. He wrote the book in part for people like him who call themselves "spiritual but not religious," who are trying to make sense of the craziness going on in the world and who seek a meaningful path through the global crises we collectively face.
