So, you know, Steven Spielberg's coming out with a new movie
0:31
Disclosure. Is that what it's called?
0:33
Ever since I was a kid, I mean, I have to be be honest, I love
0:38
close Encounters more than Star Wars.
0:40
And they were both playing at the same time.
0:42
I was 1718 years old and I was living in Hollywood at the time.
0:48
In fact, I I worked at a movie theater not far from where these
0:53
two movies were playing. One was playing at the Fox,
0:56
which is across the street from the Grauman's, or what was then
1:00
the Grauman's Chinese Theater. And, and you know, back in those
1:04
days, movies were everything. People went to movies.
1:09
It was a big deal. Lots of popcorn.
1:12
People would dress up in tuxedos when they would go see a
1:16
premiere. And when these great movies came
1:21
along, they just made it that much more exciting.
1:27
And so here we are, it's 2026, and we're still grappling with
1:32
the question of whether aliens exist and, you know, where they
1:37
come from and all that. So.
1:41
But The thing is, it's disappointing.
1:44
And I hope this isn't true for the new Steven Spielberg film,
1:47
because I want to see it, is that it's sort of timed around
1:51
this whole spectacle that's going on right now that we've
1:54
talked about on the Urantia Radio podcast having to do with
1:58
UFOs and ancient aliens. And you certainly know my
2:02
position on it. And I think that you know by now
2:05
the position that the Urantia book takes on that whole
2:08
question. And this is part and parcel why
2:11
we have people on, on like Joel Garvin, who is also a bit of a
2:16
Ufologist himself. And and I've known people, one
2:20
of my best friends in, in, in my life for many years with this
2:24
gentleman by the name of Jeff Rents RENSE.
2:29
And he had a program he took over for Art Bell when Art Bell
2:32
passed away. And if you remember Art Bell,
2:35
and of course today it's George Nori.
2:38
And there are others who still talk a lot about this sort of
2:43
existential force that that seems to elude us.
2:49
And so I'm excited about Steven Spielberg's disclosure, but I
2:53
don't, I don't want to to trivialize the importance of the
2:57
concept, if that's even possible.
3:00
I think he's probably going to make a great movie.
3:02
War of the Worlds stands one of the best remakes I've seen.
3:07
And so I know that he has a special knack for turning all
3:11
this stuff into pretty fantastic cinema.
3:13
So I can't wait to see it. I, I will refuse to see it on my
3:18
big screen TV at home. I have to see it in a theater
3:22
with a bag of popcorn and a soda or a water that cost me $7.50.
3:28
So I have to do that. But you know, Speaking of
3:33
countries and some of the things going on, we do have a real
3:37
issue with disclosure. And I think it's a great title
3:41
because I feel like whoever is in charge behind the curtain,
3:46
either they really don't know about extraterrestrial life, or
3:51
they do know and they're not telling us even though we know
3:55
that we think they know. And it that troubles me because
4:00
I don't believe that a group of of or elected or unelected
4:06
bureaucrats should be Privy to information.
4:09
And then they get to decide who else among us has the privilege
4:14
of knowing the truth. I've never been a fan of that.
4:18
I, I don't even know why we as human beings allow it.
4:23
Who died and made them? You know, the, the harp, you
4:26
know, the custodians of truth. That's what I say.
4:30
So I would like to, I would, I wish someone over there, if it's
4:35
Trump or somebody would just tell us the damn truth.
4:41
But, you know, they've got all kinds of things going on in the
4:43
world. I suppose they don't see it as a
4:46
so that leads to the assumption that maybe they don't know.
4:50
They, they know a little bit, but they really don't have all
4:54
of the answers and they don't want us to ask questions that
4:57
they don't have answers to that that could be it that, you know,
5:01
Arkham's Razor, right? Whatever's the simplest
5:03
explanation is probably the right one, but we'll save that
5:08
discussion. We'll put it on the shelf over
5:10
here, and perhaps we'll get Joel back on when the movie comes out
5:14
or or I'll tap into some other source.
5:18
I want to talk to you about a country that was brought to my
5:21
attention recently, and I want to share with you what this
5:27
country's all about. And this continental nation has
5:31
a representative government similar to ours.
5:35
It's it's got a centrally located national capital.
5:38
The central government consists of a strong federation of 100
5:43
comparatively free states, just like America has 50 states.
5:48
And these states elect their governors and their legislators
5:50
for 10 years. And none, by the way, are
5:53
eligible for re election. And that's why I'm bringing this
5:56
to you because I want to share what I know about this great
5:59
country that I recently discovered.
6:02
And I and I want to take what they're doing and ask ourselves,
6:06
why are we not doing what they're doing?
6:09
So their state judges are appointed for life by governors
6:13
and confirmed by the legislators, similar to our own
6:16
Supreme Court. And that consists of one
6:20
representative for every 100,000 citizens just like us.
6:26
And there are five different types of metropolitan
6:28
government, depending on the size of the city.
6:30
But they don't allow their cities to have more than a
6:33
million inhabitants. On the whole, these municipal
6:37
governing schemes are very simple, direct, and, most
6:40
important, economical. The few offices of city
6:45
administration are keenly sought up by the highest types of
6:48
citizens. So let's draw the comparison.
6:51
We have local municipalities, We have a city, usually a city
6:55
government. Usually we have a county seat
6:59
and then we have a state legislature and a state Senate
7:04
and a state court. OK, so now we're talking about a
7:07
very similar situation. They have five types of
7:11
government. We have, well, 5:00 as well.
7:14
I just named them all. And the federal government on
7:18
this place has three coordinate divisions, executive,
7:21
legislative and judicial, just like us.
7:25
The federal chief executive is elected every six years as
7:29
compared to our four years for our president by universal vote.
7:35
In other words, everybody in the country of this place of 100
7:38
states gets a chance to vote for their chief executive.
7:42
And here's the caveat, that person is not eligible for re
7:46
election except under the petition of at least 75% of the
7:51
state legislatures. So for the states, if the
7:56
federal executive, what we would call the president after his
8:00
term of six years is over, that's it.
8:03
The only exception being for those who get the endorsement of
8:07
at least 75% of the state legislatures, what we would
8:11
consider Congress. That sounds like a good plan,
8:16
doesn't it? And even if they were able to
8:19
accomplish the 75% approval rating of, of their Congress,
8:24
they can only one for run for one more term.
8:28
These people have seen the wisdom of not letting people in
8:33
high positions of power get too much of it.
8:37
And oh, and by the way, the federal executives that they
8:40
elect also has a super cabinet composed of all living chief
8:45
executives. So think about that for a
8:48
moment. We have a sitting president.
8:50
He is elected. He's the president for six years
8:54
and around him are all the other chief executives that have
8:57
served previously. How, how would that bode for us?
9:04
I, I had a conversation once with someone who said, man, you
9:07
know, why is it that when, when one president leaves office,
9:12
there's also this antagonism if they're not from the same party,
9:17
how selfish is that? When you think about that,
9:20
shouldn't it be in the best interest of, say, president?
9:25
Well, Biden would be the exception because he's doesn't
9:28
have all of his faculties. But even still, he would have
9:32
some advice to impart upon Trump or Obama, who still serves at
9:37
the side of Biden when when Biden won or Trump could have
9:41
stayed. In other words, our whole
9:43
strategy to having presidents is antagonistic.
9:49
They hate each other. They're political enemies, and
9:52
maybe that's why sometimes the president or the presidents that
9:56
we elect are not as effective. Instead of drawing upon the
9:59
wisdom of previous chief executives, they kick him out
10:03
the door and say, don't bother me.
10:07
That, I think, has a lot to offer, that idea of shared power
10:12
among chief executives working towards the betterment of their
10:16
nation. So let's move on to the home
10:19
life of this great country. On this continent, it is against
10:23
the law for two families to live under the same roof.
10:27
And since group dwellings have been outlawed, most of the
10:30
tenement types of buildings have been demolished.
10:33
And this country, by the way, has been around for about 200
10:35
years. And they too have a
10:37
constitutional representative government.
10:40
Now, the unmarried people of this continent still live in
10:44
clubs, hotels and small group dwellings.
10:47
The smallest home site permitted must provide 50,000 square feet
10:51
of land. All land and other property used
10:54
for home purposes are free from taxation up to 10 times the
10:59
minimum home site allotment. That's an innovative idea.
11:03
I mean, this idea of owning property, of having self
11:07
determination of, of being able maybe to grow your food and
11:11
we'll get to that a little bit later.
11:14
What, what kind of a society? You know, the founders, I think
11:17
it was Jefferson believed that America would would thrive as an
11:23
an agrarian society. But instead we became city.
11:29
We we developed these huge cities, these urban centers, the
11:34
power of industry now. So the home life of this people
11:38
has greatly improved during the last century.
11:42
Attendance of parents, fathers and mothers at the parental
11:45
schools of child culture is compulsory.
11:47
So they have schools that are set up for fathers and mothers.
11:51
Now. When my wife was pregnant with
11:53
our first child, I remember we had to go to those classes and
11:58
they would teach us primarily the delivery, but also just
12:02
basic things to remember as you enter parenthood.
12:06
Why don't we do that more? Why don't we have schools for
12:10
parenting? We sure need them, don't you
12:12
think? Even the agriculturist who
12:16
reside in small country settlements carry on this work
12:20
by correspondence. So adults essentially continue
12:24
their education and every two weeks they they have to show up
12:28
at these schools and take tests. Now that may seem, you know,
12:32
overbearing, but you know, think of how many people in our
12:36
society are very unskilled. They might have one skill that
12:40
they can do or something that they were born into.
12:44
But what happens when that occupation goes away?
12:48
Well, you end up having a class of people that become dependent
12:52
on the state. And in this country, their goal
12:55
is to make people self dependent, not dependent on the
12:59
state. Now on this country also, the
13:03
average number of children in each family is five.
13:07
And they're under the full control of their parents until
13:11
the age of 18, just like it is here.
13:15
And they have parental courts as well.
13:18
And it's considered a great honor for any family to be
13:20
awarded the guardianship of of an orphan.
13:24
You have to strive for it. You have to prove that you can
13:27
give this child the best possible surrounding.
13:31
You know, sadly in our country, we, we allow people to adopt
13:36
children temporarily, We give them a paycheck.
13:39
But is there really a lot of follow up?
13:41
I hear a lot about orphan abuse, adoption abuse and on in this
13:47
country, the parents have competitive examinations.
13:51
You have to prove that you're going to be the best place for
13:55
that child. Now on this, this country that
14:00
I'm talking about, they have an education system.
14:03
And here's how it's described. There are no classrooms, only
14:07
one study is pursued at a time, no bells every hour.
14:11
And then you switch subjects. None of that nonsense.
14:14
And after the first three years, all students become assistant
14:18
teachers, instructing those below them.
14:22
So if you're in the second grade, guess what?
14:24
You're an assistant teacher. You get to teach the child
14:27
behind you who's in the 1st grade everything you learned in
14:30
the 1st grade. Now, how brilliant is that?
14:34
Books are only used to secure information that will assist in
14:38
solving the problems arising in the school shops and on the
14:41
school farms. Much of the furniture used on
14:46
this continent and the many mechanical contrivances.
14:51
And by the way, this country is going through an incredible age
14:54
of invention and mechanization similar to what we were going
14:58
through 100 years ago. And so many of these shops where
15:03
the students are creating furniture, making utensils, all
15:07
kinds of tools, they're on the schools.
15:11
And adjacent to each shop is a working library where the
15:14
student can consult the necessary reference books.
15:18
There are agricultural and multicultural trades that are
15:23
taught throughout the entire educational period as part of
15:27
that local school. And they do it because they know
15:30
that it teaches self-sufficiency.
15:35
Every child graduating from the pre college school system at 18
15:39
is a skilled artisan. Then begins the study of the
15:43
books and the pursuit of special knowledge in adult schools or in
15:46
colleges. And when a brilliant student
15:49
completes his work ahead of schedule, he is granted an award
15:52
of time and means where with he may execute some pet project of
15:57
his own devising. The entire educational system is
16:02
designed to adequately train the individual.
16:07
Sounds like a great country. It has many similar traits to
16:10
the United States, with the exception, most notably that
16:14
loyalty, honor, integrity, and outstanding moral character are
16:19
important facets to this country's culture.
16:23
It's very much like that in Japan, by the way.
16:26
And no, I'm not talking about Japan.
16:30
The country I'm talking about is an off world country and it's
16:35
described in detail much of what I've shared with you in the
16:38
Urantia book and it's described and revealed to us by a
16:42
Melchizedek teacher who was mandated to share that
16:46
information for our benefit. From Paper 72 in the Arantia
16:52
book, it reads of all the world's which became isolated
16:56
because of participation in the Lucifer rebellion, this planet
17:00
has experienced a history most like that of yours.
17:05
The similarity of the two spheres undoubtedly explains why
17:08
permission to make this extraordinary presentation was
17:12
granted, for it is most unusual for the system rulers to consent
17:17
to the narration on one planet of the affairs of another.
17:24
This recital of the affairs of a neighboring planet is made by
17:27
special permission with the intent of advancing civilization
17:32
and augmenting governmental evolution.
17:36
On this world, much more could be narrated that would no doubt
17:42
interest and intrigue your ancients.
17:45
But this disclosure covers the limits of our permissive
17:48
mandate. So what I've just shared with
17:51
you is part of the revelation. And you've been informed that
17:55
other worlds do exist, They follow similar paths, and each
18:00
is lovingly administered too by a litany of spiritual and super
18:04
mortal personalities. Now the question is, can you
18:07
find within your mind and your heart the ability to believe
18:11
that God has such an organized universe?
18:16
Now, if the Revelator saw fit to give us some insight about some
18:20
other worlds in our cosmic neighborhood, imagine what they
18:23
might be thinking and saying about our world, which they tell
18:27
us is known as the world of the Cross, the home of the Creator's
18:30
Son, who experienced His final bestowal among the peoples of
18:34
this planet. Now that should give you
18:37
something to think about. If you stay, you'll die.
18:39
I. Know this is my home now.
18:46
You yourself called me a destructive race.
18:49
That's true, but still there is another side.
18:56
You see, I, I love them. This is a very strange thing.
19:05
I can't find a way to explain it to you.
19:08
For many years I I cursed my luck for being sent here.
19:14
Human life is difficult, but as this life is coming to an end, I
19:22
consider myself lucky to have lived it.
