I am delighted to have Gabriel Rymberg in Israel who formulated the project, along with Santiago Kneeland, Steve Marble, Louis Morales, and Kerri Blache, AND Rick Lyon, all of whom are also students of the Urantia book, and each playing a significant part of the Center for Unity project.
The links follow:
The Jesus metaverse website
1
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:32,700
Imagine a group of people from
all points across the world
2
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,600
working to create a four-pronged
project.
3
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,600
That includes a Jesus multimedia
Center and museum near the Sea
4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,600
of Galilee a virtual meta
Universe of Jesus life that you
5
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,300
can experience as well as have
at your fingertips online.
6
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,300
Which brings all of the facts of
his life to you.
7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,700
And finally A continuing movie
series that takes the stories
8
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,900
from the life and teachings of
the Jesus, And puts them in
9
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,099
cinema.
That is a pretty amazing project
10
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,700
and that is exactly what the
center for Unity project is.
11
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,000
I'm delighted to have Gabriel
Ryan, Berg and Israel who
12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,200
formulated the project along
with Santiago Neyland.
13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Steve marble, Luis Morales,
Caribe lash and Rick Lyon.
14
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600
All of whom are also students of
the Rancho book.
15
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:25,700
And each playing a significant
part of this Center for Unity
16
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,100
project, which we will discuss
now on the Rancher radio.
17
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Podcast, let me have everybody
introduce themselves so that
18
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,700
everybody gets an opportunity to
introduce themselves to the
19
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,300
audience.
Well, let's start from Rick and
20
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:41,200
then you Rick, you can pass it
along, introduce everybody and
21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,300
your involvement in the center
for unity.
22
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,300
All right, well, my involvement
with the center for Unity began.
23
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,000
Probably in 2014.
When I met Gabriel on a hillside
24
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,800
overlooking, the Sea of Galilee
and we actually your answer
25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,900
group, there's a tour with Diane
labrecque and gave Told us what
26
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,400
he was thinking about doing
there.
27
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:08,300
And so we had a brief prayer and
started from there.
28
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:10,699
So Gabriel has put together a
team.
29
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,700
And, and so all you last fall,
it was when I really got
30
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,600
involved, seriously and things
just started rolling since then.
31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,500
So I've been a year range book
readers since 1978 and really
32
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,500
started getting involved in the
range of activities and 93.
33
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,100
And I've served in many roles
with different associations.
34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Ins and fellowship and you.
Anyway, I and helped with the
35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
foundation to.
So I've been around for a while
36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,900
and seeing a lot of things and
I've been involved in a lot of
37
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,900
projects, but I don't think I've
ever seen one that had the
38
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:45,000
potential and the way things
have come together with all
39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,500
this.
I've never seen that before.
40
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,900
So it's something totally new
and totally exciting, and I'm
41
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:54,200
really pleased to be part of it.
So maybe I'll hand it off to you
42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,300
then.
So my name is Gabriel and I live
43
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,100
in Israel.
I was born Jewish.
44
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:07,400
And until I was about 40 years
old, no more, I had no
45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,200
connection to Jesus and no
understanding of anything and
46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,900
you're untouchable came into my
life.
47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,300
And I spent the next seven
years, translating it into
48
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:23,200
Hebrew, I was baptized in the
Jordan and 2014.
49
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,700
At the same time, I'm a break
and I was still busy,
50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,700
translating your run check.
Back then.
51
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,700
So I just had vague ideas of
something on the Mount of
52
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,800
Beatitudes and well work, eight
years later now.
53
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600
And those vague ideas have
become for concrete projects.
54
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:48,200
All of them are focused on
sharing the life and teachings
55
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,300
of Jesus.
With everybody and especially,
56
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,500
we're targeting young people
around the world.
57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:02,000
So I just like ideas and once my
relationship with Jesus,
58
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,300
materialize to the point where I
understand, not just in the head
59
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,400
but in the heart, what it means
to have a personal relationship
60
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,100
with God.
So everything I do is centered
61
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,700
around that and all these
projects have that in mind, this
62
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:24,100
is what we pray for.
I think that using these methods
63
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,000
new technologies and the
information in part four of the
64
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Rancher book is going to be a
bang you know it's like a an
65
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,400
explosive combination that will
touch many hearts and that's
66
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,800
what we're focused on.
Pass it on to Luis Miguel
67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,600
miramon.
Oh, thank you.
68
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Gabriel, and hi everyone.
It's a pleasure to to be here
69
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
and Jim nice to meet you.
Meet you.
70
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Well I mean, in the Patagonia
Argentina, some pretty pretty
71
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,900
far from all of you and I'm, I'm
from Colombia.
72
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:16,400
I've been reading the book since
1990 And at least four times and
73
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,900
I found the book through the JJ
Benitez novel story, it's the
74
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:28,600
Trojan Horse.
Oh, and I found that different
75
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Jesus and that grabs me.
It was, it was something magic
76
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,200
and II wanted to know more about
that Jesus because it was it was
77
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,500
different That the one picture
on my, on my Catholic
78
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:52,000
background, you know, and they
found it so so so attracted that
79
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,900
II feel that they need to
understand more and some
80
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,400
somebody says to me that I
should follow a link and I
81
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,700
follow it and I found the UK and
the rest is history and it seems
82
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,900
that I have been transforming my
life.
83
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,600
All the time.
And I'm just thinking about
84
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,800
probably what I should do best
if the, if the life is eternal.
85
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,600
So it's like that, that come to
my mind all the time.
86
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:36,000
So I I started looking for art.
So I become a Celestial Artisan
87
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,400
in in potentially so I make
music You probably have heard me
88
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,200
before I meet you at tea and I
love to make music about the
89
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,600
ranch a book and and then I'm a
specialist on human resources I
90
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,100
have more than 30 years of
experience.
91
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:02,600
I'm an expert on on that matter.
I'm a professional coach and I
92
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,900
work.
I worked for so many
93
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:12,600
organizations and and that has
become real Matter on my life
94
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:19,500
because his it means for me that
my purpose is is intending to 22
95
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,800
and you're more than this life.
So I've been working with
96
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,200
groups, I will working with
teams and I and I help teams
97
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:33,000
become better and that that with
the, with the lessons of the
98
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,600
book have brought me here to the
Center for Unity after the
99
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000
hackathon we had on 20/20.
Yeah.
100
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:48,200
Well we contact with Gabriel and
make a lot of talking and then
101
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,700
one thing becomes to another and
here we are building a trying to
102
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,800
build a world-class
organization.
103
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,500
That is more than a bunch of
readers behind a project.
104
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:07,700
But actually we are stepping one
step ahead of what the people of
105
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:13,000
the relative you book reader can
It to understand the book, we
106
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,300
are doing more of that.
We are trying to picture Jesus
107
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,100
as we as we read it.
So I'm very happy and very
108
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:27,800
thrill to be here and it's a
pleasure to have all you on
109
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,900
board because we are kind of the
same in the same Mission.
110
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:38,900
So I'm going to pass to to carry
I'm honored to be here and to be
111
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:45,500
a part of this team, but see, I
have been reading and studying
112
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,500
the Rancher book for over 30
years.
113
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:58,700
My parents posted a study group
for about 30 years and my mother
114
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:02,900
received the book from my
grandmother and her sister.
115
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,100
I guess you could say I'm third
generation.
116
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,700
Wow.
So I've been reading and
117
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:12,200
studying as, you know, as best I
can throughout my adult life and
118
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,200
building a career and a family.
And I had a business in between
119
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,800
but I also have a 28-year career
with public television, with the
120
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,100
New Orleans, public television
station.
121
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,100
And yes Productions.
Yes, Productions is the
122
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,100
production Department of wyes.
At the 12th.
123
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:43,400
Oldest PBS station in the nation
so we're 65 years old, and
124
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,300
thanks to Hurricane Katrina.
We now have a forty seven
125
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,800
thousand square foot facility is
probably one of the best in the
126
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,600
country.
We have three floors for
127
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,100
Studios, you know, top of the
line equipment, an incredible
128
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:08,500
team and what has opened in the
last six months is really
129
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:12,700
exciting because we have
partnered with Kenny Morrison
130
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:18,200
Productions to bring in all the
Cutting Edge, virtual reality
131
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
and virtual production into our
studio.
132
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:27,500
So that's what's really going to
be helpful for this project and
133
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:33,200
this convergence of talent and
staff was going on.
134
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,700
While I was learning more about
the center, Unity and learning
135
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:44,500
about the needs and lo and
behold, Gabriel Nile spoke about
136
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,500
this and I said, well it is a
possibility.
137
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:52,700
We might be able to help it
says, you know, continues on and
138
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:56,600
in terms of the Cinematic
portion of this project.
139
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,900
So I was able to discuss this
with our head of production and
140
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,500
he was at the same time,
bringing in and developing This
141
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:10,600
partnership to bring in CGI and
fresh will production into our
142
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,100
studio space.
So it's very exciting to be
143
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:20,400
working for public television
and yes, productions for so long
144
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,200
and also to be able to bring
something to the table here for
145
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,700
the center for Unity team and to
bring Jesus to life.
146
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:38,900
And you know, we're honing in.
On what stories are the most
147
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:42,000
important to start with, with
building a framework.
148
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,300
And we can tell you more about
that as we go along.
149
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:49,300
But I'm excited to bring in two
of my loves and passions
150
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:51,700
together.
Yeah, that's great hundred
151
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:56,800
indeed.
And then finally, we have I
152
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,900
guess it would be the second
Square down on the right from
153
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:06,000
where I'm sitting, Santiago
Santiago.
154
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,600
Then the gentleman in the
center, the Center Square.
155
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,000
Do you all see each other, the
same way, I see each other
156
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,800
Gabriel's on the upper left now
like I'm the Hollywood Squares.
157
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,500
Do any of you know that TV show
you can actually move the
158
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:24,700
squares around by dragging and
low, okay?
159
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,900
All right, okay.
Yeah.
160
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,700
Well, you Tim yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you Jim.
161
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,400
My name is Santiago Neil and I'm
actually a fan of your podcast.
162
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,700
I really enjoy your your your
program.
163
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,700
I think it's a very enlightening
you have a variety of themed so
164
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,200
so I enjoy it.
A lot means a lot to me.
165
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,900
Well, I'm a 20 plus years,
reader discovered, the ranch
166
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:56,000
book around 1999.
At that time.
167
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,400
I was a little bit
disenfranchised with the
168
00:12:59,408 --> 00:13:03,100
Catholic Church.
Had been for quite some time.
169
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,300
You know.
There's a there were a lot of
170
00:13:04,308 --> 00:13:06,400
things that didn't really match
up, you know.
171
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:11,000
So I was in a search for four
meaning, you know, different
172
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
different places that I look for
in suddenly the book arrived and
173
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,800
it presented a new version of
Jesus.
174
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:25,300
In some of the most are all of
the missing pieces that I that I
175
00:13:25,308 --> 00:13:28,500
had from the from Catholicism
really came into San stand.
176
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:33,600
It presented a different version
that really, really matched my
177
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,200
heart and matched.
What really?
178
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
I mean something that really
filled me, you know, it was
179
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,700
different completely, different
version that made sense.
180
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:48,600
And I remember I had a little
return by mail thing, inside the
181
00:13:48,608 --> 00:13:51,200
book that I failed, I didn't
think nobody was going to
182
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,200
contact me and I filled in and
somebody from the you Ranch
183
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,700
Association contacted and I
started going to presentations,
184
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:03,300
then did it?
Study group and now I'm here and
185
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,600
the center for Unity.
I've been participating in the
186
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Mexico Association.
I even was there when it was
187
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,700
charted with back in the day
with Kathy Jones and I was I was
188
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,600
fun and actually I talked to
Kathy and he said well anything
189
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,100
that you need for my part and
she said well can you do
190
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:23,500
translations and suddenly I was
there in the middle of a
191
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,400
translations and in doing that
but doing the other the
192
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,600
association translation back and
forth.
193
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:35,900
I'm English and Spanish and and
then I started meeting other
194
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:39,000
people get gone.
I went to the Chicago
195
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,300
conference.
I think that was back in two
196
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:48,200
thousand, four or five.
I went to Chicago and and then
197
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,300
we did the hackathon, two years
ago, that's where I met.
198
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:56,500
Louise, me, I met Gabriel and I
got invited to the project a
199
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:00,600
couple months ago and it has
really been something.
200
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,400
At my soul needed.
You know?
201
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200
I mean this is a project that
ever since you start reading the
202
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,100
ranch a book, you want to take
it a little bit further, it's
203
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:13,700
like, well, we have to reveal
this to the world and it's slow.
204
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:15,900
Its, it kind of little bit
frustrating that you get.
205
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,700
A lot of people do not know this
information.
206
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,100
It can be so rewarding for them,
it can, it can help them so
207
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,700
much.
So when this project came along
208
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:28,700
and all the initiatives that we
have, all the different things
209
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:32,700
that they Center for Unity.
It's All about, I was really
210
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,500
excited and things are starting
to move along.
211
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,700
I feel really blessed to be part
of this team, I'm in charge of
212
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,700
sales and marketing and I'm also
helping in the Cinematic part of
213
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,700
our projects.
So really excited to be here
214
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,600
really excited to be with this
theme.
215
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600
And like Rick said, and Gabriel
said, this is something that we
216
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,900
want to share with the world,
especially nowadays in.
217
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:00,300
This is what you've discussed in
some of your podcast, with a
218
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,700
World that we live in and the
battle that's been waging right
219
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,100
now between God and in, the
secular world that we have to
220
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:13,800
bring the Jesus story in Jesus
life to to more people and they
221
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800
can really Comfort their souls
in there, they can find that
222
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,600
personal relationship with God
that that Gabriel talks about.
223
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:23,500
And and I think this is
something that will really
224
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:29,500
change their hearts and really
open their hearts.
225
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,400
Like, it happened to me.
Me where I was fed up with a
226
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,500
traditional religion, and I
found this personal relationship
227
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,400
with God and I have my own
personal relationship,
228
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:39,500
relationship and personal
religion with him.
229
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,400
So that's that's my story.
Thanks, Santiago, that's great.
230
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:47,300
How did, how the heck did you
translate nor Alicia deck into
231
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:49,900
Spanish?
I just, and for that matter
232
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,700
Hebrew, I mean, I must be a
challenge.
233
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,800
And then finally, sir, the
gentleman I'm seeing in the
234
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,400
middle, I Jim, I'm Steven marble
I stand.
235
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,800
I'm, I'm in California.
So I'm sorry, empathize with
236
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,099
Gabriel and what he does.
Anyway.
237
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,900
Yeah, I was self introduced, I
suppose you could say to the
238
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:21,599
ranch book in 1972.
I kept it by my bedside and so
239
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:27,800
solo reader and kept it with me
throughout my professional
240
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,600
career, working in immersive
entertainment.
241
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,700
Tainment.
And so it was something I would
242
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,500
look for connections with others
and occasionally, I would meet
243
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,100
somebody and in the word you
Branch who would drop and we
244
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:46,000
would suddenly light up and
start sharing, but it would be
245
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,900
in the oddest situations.
Once I think one significant,
246
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:53,000
one was an 87 at just came up
the other day.
247
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:59,700
Our yesterday, I was with this
fellow who had made the first
248
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:04,700
film on The Shroud of Turin and
I asked him how he read the
249
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:07,400
Rancher book.
It says exactly how the Shroud
250
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,700
was created, and he said he
stopped, and he said, you're the
251
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,800
second person in that is ask me.
If I've read the you and I spoke
252
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,800
in the other was some famous
countries country singer from
253
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:23,900
Nashville, whose name?
I can't remember.
254
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,100
So, I was really happy to know.
There were other you Ranch,
255
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,700
readers out there besides my
Myself and these circumstances I
256
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,100
kept bouncing into people and
2000.
257
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:40,800
I started becoming a student and
I'm in the Santa Fe study group
258
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,500
and its foundation of my life.
It was the first thing that
259
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,600
really made sense to me.
As I explored.
260
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,100
What I was envisioning is
reality versus what organized
261
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:57,600
religion was telling me was the
spiritual Universe out there.
262
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,300
So I come at it from a cosmic.
And what I really appreciate
263
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,900
about this project is it's
taking me into the life of Jesus
264
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:11,600
which as a Protestant Christian
I walked away from quite a bit,
265
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,000
when I was younger and be went
through a agnosticism into
266
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,100
spiritual seeking and all of the
different traditions and formats
267
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:24,400
and then it back to Jesus all
the time, back to Jesus.
268
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,400
And of course, when the ranch
book found me, that was the
269
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,600
biggest example.
However, did I read that portion
270
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,400
of the Urantia book?
Yeah, when I was in study group
271
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,300
but I never have studied it.
Now I'm enjoying seeing how it
272
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:44,900
fits in the big puzzle pieces of
Consciousness that I need and I
273
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,400
can see the road needs as well.
So my professional career is
274
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,300
mostly an expanded Cinema.
That's where I started.
275
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:59,100
All going to Cinerama Disneyland
as a kid and by the time I got
276
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,900
in, I wanted For USC Cinema
during the days of Lucas and the
277
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:07,900
Gang.
And, yeah, I being a hippie
278
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:13,200
found myself in Idaho instead of
Hollywood and raising a family.
279
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200
I've got back into filmmaking
through teaching children
280
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,100
filmmaking, then I was teaching
deaf children filmmaking and
281
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:25,600
then oh suddenly I'm making
films again and I got involved.
282
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,500
I was making eight millimeter
films for, you're blowing up to
283
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,600
16.
Mm.
284
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,800
And cutting them.
We're cutting them on an eight
285
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,500
millimeter flat bed, that was
created in MIT and then blowing
286
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:40,900
them up to 16 and I graduated
from that when and to IMAX and
287
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,900
we'll friends of mine and myself
made an IMAX film called Kronos
288
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:51,800
and 1985, and that did quite a
quite well, it was nonverbal
289
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,400
film and later on we also
developed a phone, a couple
290
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,500
films when is Baraka in, the
other is samsara.
291
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:01,800
And 70.
Mm.
292
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,800
So my background has been in
analog film.
293
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,100
And after I die, then did Back
to the Future, the ride at
294
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,500
Universal Studios that couple of
them when in Florida and one in
295
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:17,700
Hollywood and I was their senior
project manager that was my
296
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,900
official title.
I was the meat and sandwich in
297
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:22,000
the sole survivor of those
projects.
298
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,500
So, I got my, I really learned a
lot about immersive
299
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,100
entertainment as we created that
project.
300
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,900
And I went on to do a flying
saucer and In China and other
301
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,600
things like that.
A lot of design that didn't get
302
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,500
produced.
You can imagine my experience
303
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:43,300
when I finally connected with
Gabriel about what they have
304
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:47,800
been doing, I wasn't just
ecstatic to hear that this was
305
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
happening, especially on the Sea
of Galilee.
306
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,500
And what what this could mean as
far as the new theater of a new
307
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:01,500
presentation for Jesus and I'm
telling Susan Yeah, I'm
308
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:04,800
commitments project.
I can't tell you how many times
309
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,100
I went to the center and the
dome in Hollywood on Sunset and
310
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:14,400
just got it blown away by, then
I saw gravity and IMAX a few
311
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,700
years ago, I think I got kind of
dizzy, so I, yeah, that was
312
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:22,000
probably the best IMAX film ever
made.
313
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,500
I think that's unbelievable,
2001.
314
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,500
Yes, that I saw that at the
center of the Dome as well.
315
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:32,600
So I'm lucky I consider my I'm
Such a and you're right about
316
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,900
the 80s, was the Golden Age of
wonderful theater, and I don't
317
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:37,600
think that'll ever be like that
again.
318
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,400
So creative.
So I got into radio around the
319
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,900
same time that I discovered the
ranch book, which is about 1981.
320
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,300
It already been a Christian.
I didn't have any problem with
321
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,200
Christianity.
I probably wasn't that devout of
322
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,600
a Christian, but I, but I had
the basics and so I always
323
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,300
thought there would be a
marriage one day between radio.
324
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:00,600
So I waited I waited.
And then when podcasting came
325
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,400
Out, that's when I realized,
that's the way to reach people
326
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,700
because in radio, it has been
taught to me.
327
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,700
And I've seen it.
The people have a real
328
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:11,000
relationship with another
person.
329
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:15,400
It's almost as good as having a
best friend and we don't listen
330
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400
in public.
Most people when they listen to
331
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,700
a baseball game or a whatever
they're listening to they
332
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:24,200
listened by themselves or their
in their car by themselves and
333
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,000
they're having that symbiotic
relationship with the person.
334
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,900
So that's what what motivates me
having, read the original To
335
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:35,000
book probably a thousand times
in some parts and at least three
336
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,200
times from cover to cover, I
share the same feelings as you
337
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,400
guys.
It's like you go back and you
338
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,800
ReDiscover things.
You've read him a thousand times
339
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:44,900
and you go.
Wow, I never saw that before.
340
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:48,000
So let's get to the unity
project.
341
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,900
So tell me what you're doing
because you've got all these
342
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:53,500
different things.
You've got the metaverse, which
343
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:56,900
is exciting to me.
Who wants to take the charge and
344
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:59,800
kind of give us an overview.
I think I'm going to take that
345
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,200
question.
I'm sharing with you a tree so
346
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,500
obviously our listeners will now
be able to see it but I'm going
347
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:12,700
to describe it.
We call this the 25-year Vision
348
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,800
tree because our projects there
are four of them and I'll
349
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,800
mention them by name and explain
what they are.
350
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:22,800
They're very, very long and
quite ambitious so we're taking
351
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,100
them one step at a time.
They're based on the life and
352
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,800
teachings of Jesus.
India Rancho book and a
353
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,300
wonderful piece of art because
it's that cold the untold story
354
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,900
of Jesus.
It's also a book but it's a
355
00:24:37,908 --> 00:24:42,400
coffee table format book
beautifully made, which is a
356
00:24:42,408 --> 00:24:46,700
synthesis.
It's called modern biography of
357
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:49,500
Jesus based on Urantia book.
And that's what it is.
358
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,700
So, these two are our main
references and, of course, we're
359
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:58,000
using the gospels synoptic
gospels, or from the Bible.
360
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,200
Anything authentic that we can
use about the life and teachings
361
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,500
of Jesus.
We are trying to synthesize from
362
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:11,600
all these sources to create
experiences and we are focused
363
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,600
as an organization On creating
experiences that produce
364
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,900
spiritual transformations.
In this tree has a few branches
365
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,000
and now I'm going to describe to
you what those branches are and
366
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
explain what our projects are.
So the first is a software
367
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,400
piece, we call the Jesus
metaverse.
368
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:39,400
That's a nap, then we have to
in-person projects in person.
369
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,600
Means you're going somewhere,
you're visiting a venue.
370
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,200
One of them is called the Jesus
Museum, and that's going to be
371
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,900
on the shores of the Sea of
Galilee.
372
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,700
And we're currently negotiating
a lease on the same building
373
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:57,400
where right now, you can see
that Jesus or the Galilee boat
374
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,000
and Whole story in and of
itself.
375
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,200
But there is an object that will
discover 40 years ago when the
376
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,300
Sea of Galilee receded.
And from the information we have
377
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:14,200
from the Rancher book, you can
surmise that it is either a boat
378
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,800
that Jesus Built with his own
hands, or was built in the
379
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Zebedee boat shop.
Which means if it's after his
380
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,500
time, it's something he designed
So the Jesus museum is going to
381
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:30,900
be an in-person experience, you
will see this boat and then you
382
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:35,500
will go into a different room,
huge room where Stephen is going
383
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:40,800
to do his magic and basically
bring you back 2,000 years to
384
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,500
another lifetime.
So you can experience and
385
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:48,500
witness in person what happened,
2,000 years ago, but then we're
386
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:55,200
also going to try to document in
in an in-person experience.
387
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,700
What Happened.
Since what happened?
388
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,900
Because Jesus was here, what
happened to you manatee in the
389
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:06,700
last 2,000 years but that's why
we call it a museum, but it's
390
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:10,100
not a regular Museum.
It may have some physical
391
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,900
artifacts and some pieces of Art
and archaeology, but that's not
392
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:16,800
going to be the main focus.
The main focus is going to be a
393
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,600
personal experience.
Now, imagine you take that and
394
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,500
you bring it to people all over
the world where they are.
395
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,600
So for those who cannot travel
to the Sea of Galilee, we're
396
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,300
going to make an experience
called the Jesus experience or
397
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:36,500
experience Jesus and that's
going to show in main cities
398
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,400
around the world just like a van
Gogh experience and the cling to
399
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,100
experience.
And there's several companies
400
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:47,600
that are doing this immersive
experience that you about
401
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,400
different types of our Cysts and
other subjects.
402
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,500
So we're going to do this about
Jesus and then that means you
403
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:59,100
can walk into a venue somewhere
around the world and experience
404
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,100
something similar to what we're
going to show in the museum.
405
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,300
Let me ask you a question real
quick.
406
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,700
I would imagine there are
probably a lot of religious
407
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,100
churches, Christian groups that
are doing something similar or
408
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:17,200
know that they would have some
sort of, you know, reality
409
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:23,600
virtual reality walking through
the, you know, Now or do you are
410
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,200
you aware of any?
Well, I live in Israel and there
411
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,300
is no Jesus Museum here or
anywhere else in the world.
412
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,500
And there is the question is why
I don't have an answer to that.
413
00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:39,800
But it has never been done.
And I think the one of the main
414
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,900
points here is that we're
marrying technology with
415
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:47,400
information.
The ranch a book has a complete
416
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,000
description of the life and
teachings of Jesus from before
417
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,500
He actually came here to after
he left.
418
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,300
We're going to focus on the time
he spent on Earth and there's so
419
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:02,500
much information and insights
that we can share.
420
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,200
It has been never done before it
hasn't been done before because
421
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,100
you Rancho students, didn't do
it and other people didn't have
422
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:15,200
Iran.
Triple so this is a first but
423
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,000
even a Jesus Museum doesn't
exist on this planet.
424
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,900
Yet strange.
We have one remote like we have
425
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:22,600
one.
The NOAA Arc.
426
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:27,400
Yeah we do does very well.
Yeah okay and there's the Bible
427
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Museum to in Washington, d.c. a
wonderful building.
428
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,000
It's gorgeous and it's amazing.
But there is nothing about
429
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,100
Jesus.
So these two are the experience
430
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:45,000
and the museum are our in-person
projects and the fourth project
431
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,300
we call cinematic Jesus.
And this is what Kerry and
432
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:52,500
Santiago were talking about.
So imagine we Can do either
433
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:56,000
we're still deliberating what
the format will be, but imagine
434
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,300
you had a 50 episode 45 to 1
hour.
435
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:07,900
Each minutes covering the entire
life of Jesus in drama, not a
436
00:30:07,908 --> 00:30:12,000
documentary.
But the actual things that
437
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,600
happen both let's say fictional
and the real things so we can
438
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,400
meet characters that Jesus met
and so and we know the
439
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,100
interaction that happened in
Russia book.
440
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:28,300
But then we can fictionalize
what happened to these people.
441
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:32,200
After what happened to Josiah?
The blind beggar after the
442
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Sanhedrin left him alone, what
happened to Zacchaeus, that
443
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800
basically gave up his fortune
after meeting Jesus.
444
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800
Happened to the two courtesans
that he made in Rome.
445
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,200
And basically, for the first
time in their life, they were
446
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,200
treated like versus yeah,
there's so many backstories, we
447
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,900
can portray fictionally and
then, of course, tell, you know,
448
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:58,500
show the son of man and the Son
of God and his ark of
449
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:01,800
development, explain the things
that we see in the arranger
450
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,100
book, and bring those pages to
life and share his decisions.
451
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,000
Share his challenges, share his
relationships.
452
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:13,600
It's all based on the stories
and the information we have in
453
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,000
your on Triple J.
J Benitez has done that.
454
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,000
And the result was that
thousands of people Luis Miguel
455
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,200
included and others as well in
Latin America because his books
456
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,100
were never translated to many
languages but thousands of
457
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,000
people that read it in.
Spanish says where's this Jesus
458
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,200
coming from I want to know more
and through that they found the
459
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Rancher book and decided to
study it.
460
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:43,900
We're About disseminating, the
around Chapel, we are about
461
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,900
sharing Jesus and his life and
helping people form a
462
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:50,700
relationship with God, but if
they are called to read around
463
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:53,300
your book, so be it will be
happy.
464
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:58,800
So cinematic is the fourth
fourth piece, imagine a 50
465
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,800
episode series.
A lot of hours of film covering
466
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,600
the entire story.
It will take us years to do, but
467
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,800
we want to start now and we feel
that the Time is right?
468
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:14,900
So the center for Unity is a
non-profit in Israel.
469
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,600
It's not an actual center.
It's the name of our
470
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,600
organization in charge of
executing all these projects in
471
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,800
the all the people in this
school are working in these
472
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,100
different projects.
And then the worldwide Ministry
473
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:37,600
of Jesus is a is a known as an
American nonprofit in the United
474
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,800
States.
It's mainly for fundraising.
475
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,800
And for overseeing the financial
aspects of this operation.
476
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,500
So this is basically an overview
why we're doing things.
477
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,300
What is it that we're doing?
If I will just finish by saying
478
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:58,900
that in these next 25 years and
I think even before that, we
479
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:03,000
want to reach 1 billion people
and we think that this is
480
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,700
ambitious but actually doable
but just give us an example.
481
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:10,300
The serious, The Chosen that
started 3 years ago Go.
482
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,500
They're going to release the
third season, in November, the
483
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:19,000
first two seasons.
We watched more than 400 million
484
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,300
times for granted.
People like me watched every
485
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:26,700
episode several times, but
there's still a hundreds of
486
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:30,400
millions of people who have
watched these two seasons.
487
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,400
They are planning seven seasons.
And I think with these four
488
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,700
projects, we you know, God
willing we will reach many, many
489
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:42,400
millions.
If not billions of people and
490
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,000
share Jesus bringing out to life
from the pages of your
491
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,800
Lunchable.
It's pretty amazing.
492
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,000
My first question is, how can I
help?
493
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,800
And my second question is, how
can the listeners listening
494
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,400
help?
Fundraising, obviously, you need
495
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,800
money to get this going and to
keep it going.
496
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,200
Where, where are you at with
that funding?
497
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,500
Let me take that question
because that's one of my role is
498
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,199
as fundraising.
And yeah, we're fully set up to
499
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,500
accept contributions and
donations.
500
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,699
Let me start with a little bit
of structural organizational
501
00:34:20,699 --> 00:34:23,100
structure things that Gabriel
kind of touched on.
502
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:28,500
There is the last year when this
really took a Came, it went up
503
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:32,100
the next level.
We knew we had to have nonprofit
504
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:36,800
organizations to do this and
Gabriel contacted a law firm
505
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,900
there in Israel, that had been
experience with creating museums
506
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:43,000
and that sort of thing.
And they helped us create the
507
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,600
center for Unity, nonprofit
organization in Israel.
508
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,100
And then because of tax issues,
we knew we wanted to have some
509
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,699
way for people like in the
United States because you know,
510
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:55,600
they get a tax deduction for
contributions.
511
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,500
So we set up the worldwide
Ministry.
512
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,900
Jesus, we had a law firm here,
help us with that so that we can
513
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:04,600
accept donations through
worldwide Ministry of Jesus.
514
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,600
And then through a grant
process, get those at the center
515
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,200
for Unity to fund our four
different projects.
516
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,800
So that's the relationship
between Center for Unity and
517
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,200
worldwide Ministry of Jesus.
But the best way for people to
518
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,700
help, first of all, is through
prayer.
519
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:24,100
You know, prayer is the most
powerful way of supporting what
520
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,400
we're doing.
And, you know, I think all of
521
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,700
us, Here and probably most
everybody that's listening.
522
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,700
Knows the power of prayer when
all of us pray together for a
523
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,200
good cause and something that we
believe is the will of God are
524
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,400
all these projects working at
the same speed.
525
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:43,000
Some obviously have to take
longer than others.
526
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,700
Where are we at with each of the
four branches?
527
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:49,800
Okay, so I'll take that one.
The metaverse is the software
528
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,900
app we have been spending the
last year in building, a
529
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,300
computer model of the Conditions
of Jesus, something that was
530
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:04,200
never done before where things
are connected to one another, we
531
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,200
have thousands of data points.
And then we can ask this model
532
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,700
questions, like, you know, how
many times Jesus was in
533
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:17,500
Jerusalem and what happened each
time in which dates was in.
534
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,700
So instead of searching the
pages we want your book, we have
535
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,000
now a model that can answer that
question.
536
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:28,000
Or for example, show me all the
times that Jesus met Met a
537
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,800
person.
Like what what?
538
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,000
I called, as he passed by just
once and what happened in each
539
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,700
each one of those signs.
Or for example, show me every
540
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:42,700
event in which Simon Peter and
Jesus were together and show me
541
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:45,700
the list of all these events.
What happened in each one of
542
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:49,200
those and then you can start
seeing the relationship between,
543
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
for example, Simon, Peter and
Jesus.
544
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,200
So we have relationships and
places and events and times.
545
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:02,500
And topics as a big team of
people have invested thousands
546
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:06,100
of hours in collecting this
information, which now we're
547
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:11,500
building a software product to
display in a database format.
548
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:15,700
So you can do research in a
study format, that you can
549
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:20,700
actually see a sequence of
things and learn a topic like
550
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,700
Jesus on gender equality.
Now, there's so much richness in
551
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:26,500
the pages of the Rancher book
about.
552
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:30,000
What was it that he was saying?
What was it that he said to
553
00:37:30,008 --> 00:37:32,300
different people and taught his
Apostles?
554
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:35,400
What was it that he did?
Just like the example I gave
555
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,400
before no heat treated to
prostitutes as children of God
556
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,100
and gun, it the young men that
was beside.
557
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:46,200
It was shocked.
And that young man came from
558
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,700
India.
His father was very rich, he was
559
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,300
probably living in the Harem.
He saw women.
560
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:54,100
Yeah.
So he knew the meaning of what
561
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,300
Jesus was doing and he was
shocked and he Was not the only
562
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:59,700
one.
So obviously Jesus taught a lot
563
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:05,100
of things about men and women,
marriage family, not to say
564
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:09,000
that, you know, he didn't speak
specifically about lgbtq but we
565
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000
can in fear from the things that
he did, what was his thinking.
566
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,100
So this is just one example, a
topic.
567
00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:21,000
We have hundreds of those.
Yeah yeah so that's the software
568
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,400
called the metaverse.
It's the most advanced project.
569
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,500
The museum we're negotiating
Elise and we're actually now
570
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:33,700
starting to design it.
Stephen and local firm in Israel
571
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:40,000
that has worldwide experience in
designing museums and venues are
572
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,300
starting to do this conceptual
design.
573
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:48,800
So this is advancing Carrie and
her team already have been
574
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,700
producing detailed budgets for
films for us, and we're now
575
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:56,300
writing the treatment.
This is Violence of the film is
576
00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:00,000
a street, a document that
explains the project so we're
577
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:04,100
fleshing it out and the
experience will be based on the
578
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,500
museum.
So, whatever we do with the
579
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:08,400
museum, the derivative of that
is going to go into the
580
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,000
experience.
So all four projects are
581
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,500
advancing The Meta versus the
most advanced.
582
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,200
It's the one that we need.
The least amount of resources at
583
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,900
least Financial Resources for,
but we need the most amount of
584
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:24,300
hours Force.
We've invested thousands of
585
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:29,600
hours of ready.
My goodness, you know, David
586
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,800
Cantor released a video.
I guess a couple years ago.
587
00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:37,900
Reimagining Jesus.
It is a kind of like that the
588
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:42,300
the not the document, not the 50
part series but the metaverse
589
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,400
where you sort of get the walk
through Jerusalem and Israel,
590
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,300
the way that Jesus did is it
sort of like that?
591
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,700
Like you get to see what it was
like back then through his eyes.
592
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
That's a very good question.
We're starting with something
593
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,100
that those meta versus will
exist and they're plural but
594
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,900
they don't exist right now.
Not that Jesus one and not the
595
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,800
other ones.
They're being built right now.
596
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,700
So we're talking a few more
years into down the road.
597
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:15,300
So the first version of the
Jesus metaverse is software app.
598
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,500
You can run on your browser or
on your phone on your tablet.
599
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:21,800
You don't need any special
special here and it's not going
600
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,600
to be immersive in that sense,
it's going to be experiential.
601
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,200
But more with media that we have
today with videos and art and
602
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,800
comics, and text and audio, and
podcasts and books, and
603
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,300
articles.
So you can think of it, as the
604
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:40,700
research mode will be like a
Wikipedia on the life and
605
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:44,800
teachings of Jesus with a lot of
media files and, and hyperlinks.
606
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,900
So you can jump from one thing
to the other and then the
607
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,100
studies is are going to be a
topical introduction.
608
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,300
And then there's another layer
to that product which is the
609
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:57,500
community and social layer.
Where you can interact with
610
00:40:57,500 --> 00:40:59,400
other people.
And that's this is what young
611
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,600
people today want.
They want to unbundle Faith,
612
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,200
they want to take a little bit
of the church and take a little
613
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,100
bit of meditation, a little bit
of mindfulness and do some music
614
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,800
and yoga and dancing and find
God their own way.
615
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,000
So our product is going to be
part of that Trend.
616
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,900
Yeah, in the back of my mind, I
asked myself, what is the
617
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:24,600
Christian world going to do with
this?
618
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,100
Because they're the Ironically,
they're the biggest Optical
619
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,100
obstacle.
Go go figure, right?
620
00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:34,400
But it's because of that Dogma,
you know, they want to cling to
621
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200
and I don't know how to overcome
that.
622
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,200
I woke up this morning thinking
about that.
623
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,300
There was an article in the
paper where a gentleman wrote
624
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:48,200
about how we should embrace
Christian nationalism which may
625
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,600
or may not be a good thing.
But I think what he's saying is
626
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,200
that the Christian church has an
opportunity here to become a
627
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:57,800
more political force.
By using the power of
628
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
Christianity.
I'm not sure how I feel about
629
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,600
that.
It seems almost like a, okay,
630
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:07,600
now we're trying to find a
reason to, to exist, aside from
631
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,400
teaching, the teachings of
Jesus, you know?
632
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,600
But as have you any of you had
any blowback from people saying
633
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,500
you can't do this.
Why don't you do the Bible
634
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:17,600
instead of the Rancho book stuff
like that?
635
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,200
Yeah, yeah.
Can it can I kind of answer the
636
00:42:21,208 --> 00:42:23,900
head?
Yeah well that's that's been one
637
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:25,400
of the things that we found her
too.
638
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,500
Actually For a couple pass a
couple of months, it's okay.
639
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:33,600
And we've actually categorized
as you enter book readers and
640
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,900
Christian, Christian Christian.
See you know, and we actually
641
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:42,800
try to approach to look for
donations and to look for
642
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,800
contribution and to to make them
part of our part of our world.
643
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,700
But I think like you're seeing,
it's a, I don't know, the deeply
644
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:55,000
rooted Christians, it's the
Bible, and that's it.
645
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,200
There's no, there's no.
No other reason out there and
646
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:02,900
actually we had some, some, some
people asking us, well, why are
647
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:05,400
you saying this book instead of
the Bible?
648
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,000
And so we decided to say, you
know, first we have to explain
649
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,500
what the Rancher book is.
They have to understand what's
650
00:43:11,500 --> 00:43:15,400
in there that it's not
contradicting Christianity, but
651
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,300
expanding it.
And really there wasn't any any.
652
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:24,500
We didn't find any benefit of
trying to get the resources from
653
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:27,000
them or trying to get.
Involved in here.
654
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:31,100
So that's really a question that
you see what's going to happen.
655
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:34,400
I think that the, the ones that
are really ingrained in their
656
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:39,400
really sending to their ways,
it'll be hard for them to
657
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,700
participate.
I don't know if once we put out
658
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:45,700
the information and we have the
projects out there and they see
659
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:49,200
that this isn't going against
Christianity, but expanding it,
660
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,100
they might open up, but I think
it's a little bit of what
661
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:56,900
happened with with Jesus in
that, but the Gentiles were the
662
00:43:56,900 --> 00:44:00,200
ones that really took on on his
teachings.
663
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,200
You know, the juice kind of kind
of want their went their way.
664
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,300
You're right.
I'm right.
665
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:07,800
I think that's going to happen.
And I think like we were saying
666
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,200
this is year to younger people.
I look at my I have a three
667
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,800
kids.
I have a 12 year old, the
668
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,100
seven-year and a three-year-old,
which, I mean, I can't just give
669
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:19,800
them their, yeah, checkbook at
their age, it's too hard for
670
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,700
them, you know.
But I relate what Jesus, you
671
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:25,800
know, the Jesus version of
Urantia book.
672
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,700
The really the information from
your engine book and I always
673
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:33,700
ask myself, when can they have a
resource that they can go to on
674
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:36,900
their own, and they can really
experience this on their own and
675
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:38,100
I think this is what we're
doing.
676
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,700
This is putting a very practical
way to approach Jesus and I
677
00:44:42,700 --> 00:44:45,900
think that's that's the number
one way and how everybody like,
678
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:48,600
Louise me and in the
Spanish-speaking world came to
679
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,900
read the ranch a book, it was
really that connection that they
680
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:57,900
made with with, Jesus, that
brought them to this place.
681
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:03,700
I think Kelly had something she
wanted to say good Kelly Carrie
682
00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:05,300
Carrie.
Sorry, my apologies.
683
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,500
Well, from a production
standpoint, I can tell you that
684
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:15,700
Kenny Morrison director and his
team are looking into all this
685
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:20,100
and they're really excited about
producing something new and
686
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:22,300
something different that hasn't
been done before.
687
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:27,200
There's so much Rich detail that
there are looking Into and I
688
00:45:27,208 --> 00:45:34,300
think that that will you know
really resonate and be relevant
689
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:38,100
to a lot of folks.
So from a production standpoint
690
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,900
there, also we didn't really
talk about this too much but
691
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:46,000
there's going to be live actors
so it's a convergent of live
692
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:52,300
actors along with the virtual
production and it allows us with
693
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:55,800
such to have so many
efficiencies along the way.
694
00:45:55,900 --> 00:46:00,800
Along the production Journey, it
allows the entire team to have
695
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:04,600
input along the way as well in
advance.
696
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,200
And, you know, a lot of
different approval, nice,
697
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,800
approval process.
It's solid that's part of every
698
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,500
production, but it's very
exciting to.
699
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,100
They are telling me, you know,
to have such new detail and new
700
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:22,200
information to produce some very
good.
701
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Anyone else on that question, do
you think America is go ahead.
702
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:28,500
Go ahead.
Gabriel.
703
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,900
I'll just say that.
One quote, from the, from
704
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,100
Cinema, from Field of Dreams,
build it and they will come.
705
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,800
So we're going to build it and
they will come but also more
706
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,700
practical.
We feel that we want to focus on
707
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:54,700
the Jesus before Christianity.
That doesn't mean anything.
708
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:57,400
It doesn't imply anything about
Christianity, got it.
709
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:02,000
Whoever is Christian, whoever's
Jewish wherever's Muslim, they
710
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,800
can have their own faith.
We just want to share this
711
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,000
person.
This the particular life and
712
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,600
teachings of this person and how
the simple truths of his gospel,
713
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
you know, that we are children
of God.
714
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,400
We are loved unconditionally.
We are brothers and sisters,
715
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,500
literally in the spirit.
We don't have to think alike.
716
00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:27,500
Look alike, you don't have to be
uniform to be United, right?
717
00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:30,700
And there's a few other
teachings about love and about
718
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:35,000
forgiveness that allow anger and
about, you know, everything
719
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,600
being about love, which I think
he came a little bit early for
720
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Humanity, but Humanity needs to
catch up.
721
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,300
We've been catching up
technologically wonderfully
722
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,100
materially.
But spiritually, we still have
723
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,700
some work to do and his
teachings are so relevant.
724
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:56,900
To myself, you know, 15 years
ago I was deeply stuck in the
725
00:47:56,900 --> 00:48:01,700
material world, no connection to
God, deeply lost, deeply
726
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:06,800
miserable, and I had to get a
few flicks and Flax on the head
727
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,000
and then on the behind.
So that life will turn me
728
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,900
around.
So, I can start asking, you
729
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:17,200
know, why, or what, what else is
out there that are missing and
730
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,400
then open up to a relationship
with God, there's many people
731
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,800
who are searching They they are
hungry.
732
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:27,600
We want to share some spiritual
food with them in an appealing
733
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,500
and accessible way.
We're going to translate these
734
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:33,600
products to every conceivable
language that's a huge product.
735
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:34,900
That is what we're going to do
that.
736
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:37,000
We're going to make it
accessible to the hard of
737
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,100
hearing and the visually
impaired.
738
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:43,400
We basically want any person on
the planet to have access to
739
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,700
this.
The metaverse is going to be
740
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:49,200
always free, no ads.
We're not going to sell
741
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,500
anything.
We're not going to sell you to
742
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:54,900
anybody else.
So we do need help building this
743
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:59,900
made of herbs.
And what I do I just finished by
744
00:48:59,900 --> 00:49:02,900
saying, remember Jesus before
Christianity.
745
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:07,000
Jesus was not Christian, he had
nothing to do with Christianity
746
00:49:07,300 --> 00:49:10,700
and most people in the world
including myself when you ask
747
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:12,700
them and they're not Christians,
they will say yes.
748
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,500
Jesus and Christianity are the
same but it's not.
749
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:19,700
True Jesus is is Before
Christianity.
750
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:23,500
So we will focus on that on
Jesus before Christianity.
751
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:28,500
If I could jump in here without
of a personal story, a longer,
752
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:30,500
your question.
There.
753
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,000
You know, the relationship of
Christians with what we're two
754
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,400
doing here.
And but we had a fellow contact
755
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,400
us, it was a gospel pastor and
Michigan who was interested in
756
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,800
the metaverse and wanted to know
more.
757
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,500
So I talked to him on the phone
for quite a while and told him
758
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:49,700
about the meta verse and what it
was doing, you know, and I think
759
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:52,800
one of the important aspects of
the metaverse is it's not just
760
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,300
an entertainment but it's a tool
that people can use.
761
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,000
Use for in-depth, study of the
book.
762
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,000
You know, you can, you can make
all these connections through
763
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,700
these nodes that gave her was
talking about how, our, how is
764
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:07,100
everything interconnected who
was connected to this event.
765
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:10,100
Where is this event?
You know, what's what's the
766
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:11,900
area?
Like, and what's it look like
767
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:13,500
and where is it?
What's it like today and all
768
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,500
that kind of stuff?
But this pastor once I told him
769
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:20,900
what, what the metaverse
actually was, he said, you know,
770
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:25,000
this is a valuable tool for him
as far as creating his sermons
771
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,300
and Things like that, he can go
in there.
772
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:30,200
He says I've got a whole Library
full of books but I can't find
773
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,900
what I need when I need it.
But you know the way the
774
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,200
metaverse is going to work, it's
going to be very easy.
775
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,500
He could see that it was going
to be very easy for him to go in
776
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:41,800
there and dig really deep into
any particular topic and find
777
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,000
the information that he needs to
then take that to his
778
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,100
congregation and he said the
other thing.
779
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:51,700
The other aspect of the
metaverse as far as being a tool
780
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:55,800
for in-depth study was that, you
know, he has a youth or Youth
781
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,000
Center where he helps
disadvantaged youth.
782
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:01,600
He said a lot of them have
trouble reading and so, all the
783
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,800
visual and audio aspect that's
going to be in the meadow verse
784
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:09,200
will help those young people
find and discover Jesus and the
785
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,300
Jesus that they can relate to.
So I think that's a very
786
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:18,000
important aspect of the
metaphors I can't wait the, the
787
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
movie think, I think is good to
this this multiples, multiple
788
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,600
series.
Because I think outside of the
789
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,200
United States, I think there's
much more hunger for this.
790
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Then within the United States
were to embroiled and silliness,
791
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,700
you know, distractions and bad
leadership.
792
00:51:35,700 --> 00:51:42,000
All the things that we know what
is the, what is the thing about
793
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,900
the Unseen?
Father, I remember having a
794
00:51:43,908 --> 00:51:46,200
conversation with someone On
that.
795
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,300
This was it some point.
You could see that we would
796
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:51,900
build a temple for worship
somewhere.
797
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,400
Along the Sea of Galilee was
that a part of any of this
798
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,400
Gabriel?
Yeah, yeah.
799
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:03,100
Actually, this is that idea of
building a temple for the
800
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:05,800
Unseen.
Father was the first thing that
801
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:12,700
arrived many years ago, and I
think that's going to be part of
802
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:15,500
this Vision, but it's not
something we're actively.
803
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,700
Really working on right now in
the beginning we thought this
804
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:25,000
Museum will have a worship area.
I think it should still have a
805
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,700
worship area, we haven't
designed the museum but it's
806
00:52:27,700 --> 00:52:32,200
easier for for us when we
discuss these things with the
807
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,700
Israeli government to say we're
building a Jesus Museum, it's a
808
00:52:35,708 --> 00:52:38,600
better.
It's an easier sell and it's
809
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,800
also true that we want to build
something like this.
810
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,700
I think the temple will come.
We will get the sign that this
811
00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:50,400
is the right time.
We will probably have to buy
812
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,100
piece of land around the Sea of
Galilee for that frankly.
813
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:57,700
Right now, nobody stepped up and
say Here's 25 million dollars,
814
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:00,300
build it for me.
If somebody steps up and says
815
00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:04,100
here's 25 million dollars, build
it for me, I will do that.
816
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:08,500
But burying the fact that I
don't have 25 million dollars.
817
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,400
That means we have to wait until
this is the right time and when
818
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,000
the finances are there, it's
probably going to be a good
819
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,400
indicator.
We can do the museum for a
820
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,400
fraction of that cost.
We can do the metaverse for a
821
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,700
fraction of that caused the 50
episode serious is going to be
822
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,400
the most expensive thing because
film is film, but it's going to
823
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,800
be something that will have so
much impact because people film
824
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,600
Fail and people love Cinema.
Yeah.
825
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:43,600
In Jesus still sales today.
Yeah and in books and in films
826
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,700
because he's drawing people to
him and all we have to do is
827
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:49,900
lift them up.
So this is what we're doing.
828
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,400
The temple will come.
We are.
829
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,900
It's in my mind.
It's what started all of this.
830
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:03,100
So I guess I needed to hear that
first and then sometime later
831
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:04,800
down the road, this will
materialize.
832
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,600
I can tell you another story
being in Israel living in Israel
833
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,400
growing up in Israel.
I know the Sea of Galilee very
834
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,600
well, been there many, many
times, there's a whole area, the
835
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,800
northern part of the Sea of
Galilee, which is completely
836
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:25,600
empty, its Rolling Hills with
nothing, nothing nothing in it.
837
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:30,000
And there's one road that drives
through it, on the way to the
838
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,600
other side.
And I was driving with my wife
839
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Sandra several times on that.
And I could see I could feel
840
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:41,400
that this would be an
educational center.
841
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:45,600
The years to come beings from
all over.
842
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,400
The universe will come to this
planet because they will know
843
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:55,100
who Jesus is and then it will
come here to find out more about
844
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:59,000
this particular world.
And what more befitting place to
845
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,900
build such a center than that
place?
846
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:05,900
I think the tempo will be the
Cornerstone none of that place.
847
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:09,100
When is the right time for that?
I don't know.
848
00:55:09,700 --> 00:55:14,800
But we will find out may also be
a reflection or when that
849
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,300
happens will be a reflection of
how far we have come.
850
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,400
Yes, right.
Well I know, I know it's going
851
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,100
to be unbelievable for y'all but
we've been here for an hour and
852
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:29,200
I want to give everybody an
opportunity to say a few things
853
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,800
about their involvement and any
thoughts that you have about the
854
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:36,500
Urantia movement.
In debt before I do that,
855
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,200
though, I do have a question for
Argentinian friend.
856
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,600
There has been a lot of
discussion that I've had with a
857
00:55:41,608 --> 00:55:45,700
lot of people about the
expansion and explosion of the
858
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:49,800
Rancho book in South America,
which is a heavily Catholic
859
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,700
country of lots of little
countries that are Catholic.
860
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:57,400
What's the explanation behind
the reception of the Rancho book
861
00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:03,600
and say, South America as
opposed to Australia, Or other
862
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:08,000
places where you have such a
heavy Catholic Australia would
863
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,600
be a bad example.
Why is it so popular in South
864
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,800
America?
What's going on there?
865
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,600
That we don't know what the hell
do you mean?
866
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,200
It's a tough question, you know
because well, who knows, I
867
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,400
think, I think we're passion.
Will we have a lot of passion
868
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:32,600
for for, for the things we
believe in and I think the South
869
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:37,200
Some people has these.
These eager to believe in
870
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:44,800
something greater and and, and
once they got into it, they go
871
00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:48,500
all the way, you know, it's like
they don't hesitate at all.
872
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
That's, that's my experience,
you know?
873
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,800
And, and, and particularly, in
the, in the, in the, in the
874
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:02,500
arantxa community movement.
I think that it has been a great
875
00:57:02,500 --> 00:57:05,200
job.
Job of some of people, some of
876
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:12,200
the people that are leading the
movement in the in the different
877
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:17,200
countries organization because
we created like a Latin American
878
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Comedy, a South American
community of leaders and we will
879
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:30,300
be we will be in working.
Like I know say like, Police six
880
00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:39,000
years, six years from now.
And and, and will be will be in
881
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,700
being very active on helping
each other to understand what is
882
00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:49,700
going on in Colombia.
What is going on in Peru Ecuador
883
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:55,200
and we all, we all are connected
and that helped a lot of people
884
00:57:55,200 --> 00:58:02,800
to be attracted to most of the
Of the of the ways we trying to
885
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,300
do.
So there's a lot of going on
886
00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:10,500
here because there's a lot of
readers who believes in working
887
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:16,900
together and and I guess it is
growing but only recently.
888
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:23,000
Yeah so I don't know how I don't
have that many stunts because
889
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,800
she has a similar perspective.
Yeah.
890
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:29,500
Yeah.
I agree.
891
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:34,200
I'm actually from Mexico.
I live in Mexico and I think one
892
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:39,200
of the the big big thing that
happened in the 90s was the
893
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,800
Trojan horse eBooks by kata-kata
Benitez.
894
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,300
I actually read the book in
English.
895
00:58:45,300 --> 00:58:49,500
I mean, although a Mexican I'm a
bit better in English and I had
896
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:54,000
American education, but
everybody else that I know in
897
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,200
Spanish-speaking.
Got it through the the Trojan
898
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,500
Horse.
Actually some of Of our trustees
899
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:03,200
and the foundation, like, Victor
Borge, he bred the the Trojan
900
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,200
Horse and he came through that.
So I think this like Gabriel
901
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,400
said is reflecting on what's
going to happen with that with a
902
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:15,600
center for Unity and presenting
the Jesus story where people can
903
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,600
relate.
This is I mean this is the human
904
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,500
part where you can relate to and
that takes you to the rest of
905
00:59:21,500 --> 00:59:24,000
the range of books.
So I think that's what happened.
906
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,300
I mean, people knew through the
Catholicism of that.
907
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,700
They were brought up in to They
knew Jesus and now they have an
908
00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:36,300
expanded and more accurate,
accurate accurate portrayal of
909
00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:39,000
Jesus.
That really we sounds with them.
910
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,700
So I think that's that's the
key.
911
00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:45,200
Very good.
So thoughts about any closing,
912
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,400
thoughts about your involvement,
what you like to see in the next
913
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,800
year and we can start with
Carrie.
914
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:55,400
Yes, thank you.
Such a pleasure to be here and
915
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,200
I've really enjoyed your
podcast.
916
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,000
Jim thank you.
Just discovered them really if
917
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,700
you can believe that.
So thank you for all that you're
918
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:08,300
doing.
So you know, I think that what
919
01:00:08,300 --> 01:00:12,100
we're offering, what we're doing
is going to resonate with with a
920
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,400
lot of folks.
I can just tell you me
921
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:19,000
personally, you know, my family
talking about, you know, young
922
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,100
kids and such going to Norfolk
Show non-denominational churches
923
01:00:24,700 --> 01:00:29,100
can be enjoyable and the
fellowship with the ladies there
924
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:33,700
and the you know, the worship
praise and worship music is
925
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:36,900
always nice.
So, you know, it is really
926
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,600
enjoyable.
Enjoyable to be able to find
927
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,800
your spirituality and so many
different areas.
928
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,300
So maybe people can, you know,
relate to that.
929
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,100
And what I'd like to express
with regards to this virtual
930
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:54,600
production, which We're kind of
like the new buzzwords out there
931
01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:00,800
is seeing is believing so it's
just such a convergence of the
932
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,700
live-action and the virtual
reality the virtual wall and the
933
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:10,300
virtual production, it's so many
efficiencies where we'll be able
934
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:16,000
to do things and produce in a
much more efficient manner with
935
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,500
a lot of different convergence
of thoughts and creatives that
936
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:25,300
don't have to be physically.
One place with such a wide
937
01:01:25,300 --> 01:01:31,300
variety of backgrounds and sets
the we can change out basically
938
01:01:31,300 --> 01:01:36,400
within minutes and we can go
from 1920s Berlin, you know, to
939
01:01:36,700 --> 01:01:41,800
2022 Anchorage, Alaska to first
century, you know Jerusalem you
940
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,800
know within minutes.
And so that's like the Holodeck
941
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,400
on Star Trek, you know.
Remember the holiday, you know?
942
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,900
Yes computer.
Yes, I want.
943
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,700
Go, 1930.
Here we go.
944
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:59,100
Exactly.
So the team is really excited,
945
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,700
and what we can say here is, you
know, seeing is believing.
946
01:02:03,700 --> 01:02:05,900
And I think that's really what
we need, right?
947
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,900
Yeah, it almost yeah.
It reinforces, the the visuals
948
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:13,700
however, that works in the mind
and then you feel like you
949
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:16,700
actually have a memory cohesive
memory.
950
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:21,600
Rick, any thoughts about again?
I know I asked you this before
951
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:26,800
but Need people, you need more
people, you need will, we can we
952
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,800
see anything now, sort of like a
teaser on what you've come up
953
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,900
with so far.
Is there a place we can go and
954
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,200
maybe get a glimpse of each of
these projects and where they're
955
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,200
at now?
Yeah, the Jesus made a verse
956
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,900
actually, Gabriel put together
real nice prototype of that.
957
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:46,200
That's out there.
I think the best way for people
958
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,900
to do that is go through the
website, Jesus metaverse dot org
959
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:52,900
and you can find links to that
those kind of videos and that
960
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:56,200
sort of thing.
So, but the Jesus met of are
961
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,600
certainly our project.
That's the most advanced nearing
962
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:00,900
completion.
Okay?
963
01:03:01,300 --> 01:03:06,400
So years ago I did a a I found a
software where I could go back
964
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:11,400
in time and see If a specific
date fell on a specific day and
965
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:16,200
I calculated, I went through the
Jesus papers and I started
966
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,500
saying okay, well, I would look
for something that said Jesus
967
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:24,700
one here on Sunday May 3rd, you
know, 22, whatever it was.
968
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,400
And every one of them matched up
perfectly to this software that
969
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,100
gives you in the reason I'm
asking this is because in your
970
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:36,700
process of all these projects
have you yourself, found
971
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,900
nuggets?
A validation.
972
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:41,900
You know what I mean?
In other words, were you in this
973
01:03:41,900 --> 01:03:44,600
process of putting all these
stories together and these
974
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,000
visuals and ideas, where you
ever for a moment going, wow,
975
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,800
this is just so rich in detail
that it in the parts of what
976
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,200
you're doing.
Were you able to gleam even more
977
01:03:56,500 --> 01:04:00,700
validation of the Rancho book?
And amazement at the authors who
978
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:03,600
are able to Midway, ER
commission, how they were able
979
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,700
to get so much right in their in
their narrative.
980
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,900
Is that mean anything?
Any of you sir.
981
01:04:08,900 --> 01:04:11,100
I think that's I think what
you're saying there Jim is
982
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:13,600
exactly what we're trying to do
with the metaverse is help
983
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,400
people reach that you know, I've
been around long enough that
984
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,200
those nuggets of verification
came for me, long ago.
985
01:04:20,700 --> 01:04:23,600
No the Urantia book.
One of the things that's that
986
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:28,900
really appeals to me is it's the
only religious texts or
987
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:32,900
spiritual texts that names dates
and places, you know.
988
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,100
Yeah.
We went through as far as
989
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,500
something we were, you know,
doing personally several years
990
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:40,900
ago Go and pulled out all the
dates from the ranch ebook
991
01:04:40,900 --> 01:04:43,800
specific dates on this day, such
and such happened.
992
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,700
The next day this happened and
there's over 300 specific dates
993
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:51,200
listed in the Ranchi boat.
And those are the kinds of
994
01:04:51,208 --> 01:04:54,200
things that people can go into
the metaverse and find, you can
995
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,900
find those dates and connect all
the dots and all that kind of
996
01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:58,500
stuff.
So, go ahead, Karen.
997
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,100
Well, I was just going to say
it's just been exciting for me
998
01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:04,700
personally to see all these
seemingly.
999
01:05:04,700 --> 01:05:07,700
Coincidences just popping and
happening.
1000
01:05:08,500 --> 01:05:14,500
As I help with this project, I
have read a lot of Squire Rush
1001
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:19,100
Nails books over the years on
the meaning of coincidences and
1002
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:23,900
he has social media and such
he's a television producer that
1003
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:28,400
produced you know some
children's educational
1004
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,000
programming.
Schoolhouse Rock back in the oh
1005
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,000
yeah ladies are.
So when only public television
1006
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,300
at that point was really doing
educational TV and he It
1007
01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:42,600
compiles, all these little
stories back to stories, telling
1008
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:48,100
the story of all these seemingly
coincidences that people around
1009
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:53,100
the world will will swear that
it's the divine intervention or
1010
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:55,400
Divine help or the angels
helping that they, you know,
1011
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,700
it's kind of something medical.
They never go back in and check
1012
01:05:58,700 --> 01:06:02,200
on this and they went and
discovered, you know something.
1013
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:07,700
So I've read and enjoyed their
delightful of all the stimuli
1014
01:06:07,900 --> 01:06:10,500
Incidences.
So, for me, personally, we don't
1015
01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:15,700
have the time now, but it's been
very exciting to feel that I've
1016
01:06:15,700 --> 01:06:21,000
been on the right path.
As I have experienced some major
1017
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,800
coincidences in the process of
working with this team and I
1018
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:31,200
look forward to more and, you
know, I think that's going to be
1019
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,100
a lot of fun as we continue
along.
1020
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:37,700
We have a lot of things to keep
us busy have teams of people.
1021
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,200
People that are ready and
looking for work and looking at
1022
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,400
how is any of this been impeded
by covid and the current sort of
1023
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,700
political tension that's going
on in the world because we're
1024
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:50,700
all in our different parts of
the world.
1025
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:54,100
Trying to coalesce.
It has helped, I think covid has
1026
01:06:54,108 --> 01:06:56,600
helped.
We're gonna make lemonade from
1027
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,800
Lance right?
That's right.
1028
01:06:58,100 --> 01:07:02,200
Well, you're we're learning how
to work together with teams
1029
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,100
around the world and work in a
efficient manner.
1030
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:10,000
And You know, we can talk for a
long time about that, but I
1031
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,900
think that in those regards, I
think it's helped the process in
1032
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:16,800
the team.
Well, I want to thank everybody,
1033
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,100
Gabriel, and of course, Carrie
and Stephen, and Rick and
1034
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,700
Santiago and anybody I missed,
thank you.
1035
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:27,100
It's been an honor to be here
and I want to help I like this
1036
01:07:27,100 --> 01:07:30,000
because I wasn't sure it was.
First time I've had more than
1037
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,300
one person on it, the program.
So it worked out nicely.
1038
01:07:34,700 --> 01:07:38,200
I could go on forever.
And I want to keep track of this
1039
01:07:38,900 --> 01:07:42,500
project, so keep me informed.
And then I can relay that
1040
01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:45,000
information and Rick, any of you
that want to come on.
1041
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:47,100
And share any of your own
experiences.
1042
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:50,300
You have an open invitation and
I hope that you'll take me up on
1043
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:52,300
it.
We're trying to build something
1044
01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:54,500
here.
I'm shocked that we're not
1045
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:57,700
farther along in terms of
awareness of the Rancho book but
1046
01:07:57,700 --> 01:08:01,600
I'm not dismayed because I know
how rich and complex the book is
1047
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,300
and it takes a commitment.
You've got to be willing like I
1048
01:08:05,308 --> 01:08:08,700
think one of you said you can
hand the book to somebody but
1049
01:08:08,700 --> 01:08:11,300
they got to want to read it.
And they've got to be open to
1050
01:08:11,300 --> 01:08:14,000
it, and they've gotta have a
hunger for something.
1051
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,800
And I tried to tell that to my
Kids in my people that I love in
1052
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,200
my life and they just you know,
I just I'm more amazed that they
1053
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,399
don't want to know anyway, I
wanted to just thank all of you
1054
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:26,000
for that and again I want to
give out a couple of pieces of
1055
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,100
information.
Call ears a phone number for
1056
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:31,800
you.
This is seven six, five three
1057
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:36,399
six six seven two zero three
that's Rick's number Rick.
1058
01:08:36,899 --> 01:08:40,600
If you want to help call Rick
he'll help you and then you can
1059
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,200
be a part of this project.

1060
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,600
GoFundMe kind of a thing?
Yeah.

01:08:56,300 --> 01:09:00,399

helping to put this interview
together.
1071
01:09:19,700 --> 01:09:23,500
No doubt, it gives me, great joy
to see inside this wonderful
1072
01:09:23,500 --> 01:09:25,700
project from those who are
actually involved.
1073
01:09:25,700 --> 01:09:29,399
And I can't wait to see how each
of these projects come together.
1074
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,300
And what transformative effect,
they will have in bringing
1075
01:09:32,300 --> 01:09:36,300
people on this planet closer to
God through the examination of
1076
01:09:36,300 --> 01:09:39,100
his son.
And again, for more information
1077

1078
01:09:43,300 --> 01:09:48,600
questions and his number is 7.
X5 3667 203.
1079
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Again, that number is seven.
Six, five, three, six, six,
1080
01:09:52,300 --> 01:09:56,200

Such a great experience and I

01:09:56,208 --> 01:09:59,900
thank you for stopping by this
edition of the Urantia Radio
1082
01:09:59,900 --> 01:10:00,700
podcast.
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:32,700
Imagine a group of people from
all points across the world
2
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,600
working to create a four-pronged
project.
3
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,600
That includes a Jesus multimedia
Center and museum near the Sea
4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,600
of Galilee a virtual meta
Universe of Jesus life that you
5
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,300
can experience as well as have
at your fingertips online.
6
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,300
Which brings all of the facts of
his life to you.
7
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,700
And finally A continuing movie
series that takes the stories
8
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,900
from the life and teachings of
the Jesus, And puts them in
9
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,099
cinema.
That is a pretty amazing project
10
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,700
and that is exactly what the
center for Unity project is.
11
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,000
I'm delighted to have Gabriel
Ryan, Berg and Israel who
12
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,200
formulated the project along
with Santiago Neyland.
13
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Steve marble, Luis Morales,
Caribe lash and Rick Lyon.
14
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600
All of whom are also students of
the Rancho book.
15
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:25,700
And each playing a significant
part of this Center for Unity
16
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,100
project, which we will discuss
now on the Rancher radio.
17
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Podcast, let me have everybody
introduce themselves so that
18
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,700
everybody gets an opportunity to
introduce themselves to the
19
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,300
audience.
Well, let's start from Rick and
20
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:41,200
then you Rick, you can pass it
along, introduce everybody and
21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,300
your involvement in the center
for unity.
22
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,300
All right, well, my involvement
with the center for Unity began.
23
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,000
Probably in 2014.
When I met Gabriel on a hillside
24
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:54,800
overlooking, the Sea of Galilee
and we actually your answer
25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,900
group, there's a tour with Diane
labrecque and gave Told us what
26
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,400
he was thinking about doing
there.
27
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:08,300
And so we had a brief prayer and
started from there.
28
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:10,699
So Gabriel has put together a
team.
29
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,700
And, and so all you last fall,
it was when I really got
30
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,600
involved, seriously and things
just started rolling since then.
31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,500
So I've been a year range book
readers since 1978 and really
32
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,500
started getting involved in the
range of activities and 93.
33
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,100
And I've served in many roles
with different associations.
34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Ins and fellowship and you.
Anyway, I and helped with the
35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,200
foundation to.
So I've been around for a while
36
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,900
and seeing a lot of things and
I've been involved in a lot of
37
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,900
projects, but I don't think I've
ever seen one that had the
38
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:45,000
potential and the way things
have come together with all
39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,500
this.
I've never seen that before.
40
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,900
So it's something totally new
and totally exciting, and I'm
41
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:54,200
really pleased to be part of it.
So maybe I'll hand it off to you
42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,300
then.
So my name is Gabriel and I live
43
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:59,100
in Israel.
I was born Jewish.
44
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:07,400
And until I was about 40 years
old, no more, I had no
45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,200
connection to Jesus and no
understanding of anything and
46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,900
you're untouchable came into my
life.
47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,300
And I spent the next seven
years, translating it into
48
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:23,200
Hebrew, I was baptized in the
Jordan and 2014.
49
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,700
At the same time, I'm a break
and I was still busy,
50
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,700
translating your run check.
Back then.
51
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,700
So I just had vague ideas of
something on the Mount of
52
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,800
Beatitudes and well work, eight
years later now.
53
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,600
And those vague ideas have
become for concrete projects.
54
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:48,200
All of them are focused on
sharing the life and teachings
55
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,300
of Jesus.
With everybody and especially,
56
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,500
we're targeting young people
around the world.
57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:02,000
So I just like ideas and once my
relationship with Jesus,
58
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,300
materialize to the point where I
understand, not just in the head
59
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,400
but in the heart, what it means
to have a personal relationship
60
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,100
with God.
So everything I do is centered
61
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,700
around that and all these
projects have that in mind, this
62
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:24,100
is what we pray for.
I think that using these methods
63
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,000
new technologies and the
information in part four of the
64
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Rancher book is going to be a
bang you know it's like a an
65
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,400
explosive combination that will
touch many hearts and that's
66
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,800
what we're focused on.
Pass it on to Luis Miguel
67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,600
miramon.
Oh, thank you.
68
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Gabriel, and hi everyone.
It's a pleasure to to be here
69
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
and Jim nice to meet you.
Meet you.
70
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Well I mean, in the Patagonia
Argentina, some pretty pretty
71
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,900
far from all of you and I'm, I'm
from Colombia.
72
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:16,400
I've been reading the book since
1990 And at least four times and
73
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,900
I found the book through the JJ
Benitez novel story, it's the
74
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:28,600
Trojan Horse.
Oh, and I found that different
75
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Jesus and that grabs me.
It was, it was something magic
76
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,200
and II wanted to know more about
that Jesus because it was it was
77
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,500
different That the one picture
on my, on my Catholic
78
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:52,000
background, you know, and they
found it so so so attracted that
79
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,900
II feel that they need to
understand more and some
80
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,400
somebody says to me that I
should follow a link and I
81
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,700
follow it and I found the UK and
the rest is history and it seems
82
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,900
that I have been transforming my
life.
83
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,600
All the time.
And I'm just thinking about
84
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,800
probably what I should do best
if the, if the life is eternal.
85
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,600
So it's like that, that come to
my mind all the time.
86
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:36,000
So I I started looking for art.
So I become a Celestial Artisan
87
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,400
in in potentially so I make
music You probably have heard me
88
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,200
before I meet you at tea and I
love to make music about the
89
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,600
ranch a book and and then I'm a
specialist on human resources I
90
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,100
have more than 30 years of
experience.
91
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:02,600
I'm an expert on on that matter.
I'm a professional coach and I
92
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,900
work.
I worked for so many
93
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:12,600
organizations and and that has
become real Matter on my life
94
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:19,500
because his it means for me that
my purpose is is intending to 22
95
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,800
and you're more than this life.
So I've been working with
96
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,200
groups, I will working with
teams and I and I help teams
97
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:33,000
become better and that that with
the, with the lessons of the
98
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,600
book have brought me here to the
Center for Unity after the
99
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000
hackathon we had on 20/20.
Yeah.
100
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:48,200
Well we contact with Gabriel and
make a lot of talking and then
101
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,700
one thing becomes to another and
here we are building a trying to
102
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,800
build a world-class
organization.
103
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,500
That is more than a bunch of
readers behind a project.
104
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:07,700
But actually we are stepping one
step ahead of what the people of
105
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:13,000
the relative you book reader can
It to understand the book, we
106
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,300
are doing more of that.
We are trying to picture Jesus
107
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,100
as we as we read it.
So I'm very happy and very
108
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:27,800
thrill to be here and it's a
pleasure to have all you on
109
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,900
board because we are kind of the
same in the same Mission.
110
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:38,900
So I'm going to pass to to carry
I'm honored to be here and to be
111
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:45,500
a part of this team, but see, I
have been reading and studying
112
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,500
the Rancher book for over 30
years.
113
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:58,700
My parents posted a study group
for about 30 years and my mother
114
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:02,900
received the book from my
grandmother and her sister.
115
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,100
I guess you could say I'm third
generation.
116
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,700
Wow.
So I've been reading and
117
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:12,200
studying as, you know, as best I
can throughout my adult life and
118
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,200
building a career and a family.
And I had a business in between
119
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,800
but I also have a 28-year career
with public television, with the
120
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,100
New Orleans, public television
station.
121
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:32,100
And yes Productions.
Yes, Productions is the
122
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,100
production Department of wyes.
At the 12th.
123
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:43,400
Oldest PBS station in the nation
so we're 65 years old, and
124
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,300
thanks to Hurricane Katrina.
We now have a forty seven
125
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,800
thousand square foot facility is
probably one of the best in the
126
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,600
country.
We have three floors for
127
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,100
Studios, you know, top of the
line equipment, an incredible
128
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:08,500
team and what has opened in the
last six months is really
129
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:12,700
exciting because we have
partnered with Kenny Morrison
130
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:18,200
Productions to bring in all the
Cutting Edge, virtual reality
131
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600
and virtual production into our
studio.
132
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:27,500
So that's what's really going to
be helpful for this project and
133
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:33,200
this convergence of talent and
staff was going on.
134
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,700
While I was learning more about
the center, Unity and learning
135
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:44,500
about the needs and lo and
behold, Gabriel Nile spoke about
136
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,500
this and I said, well it is a
possibility.
137
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:52,700
We might be able to help it
says, you know, continues on and
138
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:56,600
in terms of the Cinematic
portion of this project.
139
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,900
So I was able to discuss this
with our head of production and
140
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,500
he was at the same time,
bringing in and developing This
141
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:10,600
partnership to bring in CGI and
fresh will production into our
142
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,100
studio space.
So it's very exciting to be
143
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:20,400
working for public television
and yes, productions for so long
144
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,200
and also to be able to bring
something to the table here for
145
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,700
the center for Unity team and to
bring Jesus to life.
146
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:38,900
And you know, we're honing in.
On what stories are the most
147
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:42,000
important to start with, with
building a framework.
148
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,300
And we can tell you more about
that as we go along.
149
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:49,300
But I'm excited to bring in two
of my loves and passions
150
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:51,700
together.
Yeah, that's great hundred
151
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:56,800
indeed.
And then finally, we have I
152
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,900
guess it would be the second
Square down on the right from
153
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:06,000
where I'm sitting, Santiago
Santiago.
154
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:10,600
Then the gentleman in the
center, the Center Square.
155
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,000
Do you all see each other, the
same way, I see each other
156
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,800
Gabriel's on the upper left now
like I'm the Hollywood Squares.
157
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,500
Do any of you know that TV show
you can actually move the
158
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:24,700
squares around by dragging and
low, okay?
159
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,900
All right, okay.
Yeah.
160
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,700
Well, you Tim yeah, yeah.
Well, thank you Jim.
161
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,400
My name is Santiago Neil and I'm
actually a fan of your podcast.
162
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,700
I really enjoy your your your
program.
163
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,700
I think it's a very enlightening
you have a variety of themed so
164
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,200
so I enjoy it.
A lot means a lot to me.
165
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,900
Well, I'm a 20 plus years,
reader discovered, the ranch
166
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:56,000
book around 1999.
At that time.
167
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,400
I was a little bit
disenfranchised with the
168
00:12:59,408 --> 00:13:03,100
Catholic Church.
Had been for quite some time.
169
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:04,300
You know.
There's a there were a lot of
170
00:13:04,308 --> 00:13:06,400
things that didn't really match
up, you know.
171
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:11,000
So I was in a search for four
meaning, you know, different
172
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
different places that I look for
in suddenly the book arrived and
173
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,800
it presented a new version of
Jesus.
174
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:25,300
In some of the most are all of
the missing pieces that I that I
175
00:13:25,308 --> 00:13:28,500
had from the from Catholicism
really came into San stand.
176
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:33,600
It presented a different version
that really, really matched my
177
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,200
heart and matched.
What really?
178
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
I mean something that really
filled me, you know, it was
179
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,700
different completely, different
version that made sense.
180
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:48,600
And I remember I had a little
return by mail thing, inside the
181
00:13:48,608 --> 00:13:51,200
book that I failed, I didn't
think nobody was going to
182
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,200
contact me and I filled in and
somebody from the you Ranch
183
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,700
Association contacted and I
started going to presentations,
184
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:03,300
then did it?
Study group and now I'm here and
185
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,600
the center for Unity.
I've been participating in the
186
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,200
Mexico Association.
I even was there when it was
187
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,700
charted with back in the day
with Kathy Jones and I was I was
188
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,600
fun and actually I talked to
Kathy and he said well anything
189
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,100
that you need for my part and
she said well can you do
190
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:23,500
translations and suddenly I was
there in the middle of a
191
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,400
translations and in doing that
but doing the other the
192
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,600
association translation back and
forth.
193
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:35,900
I'm English and Spanish and and
then I started meeting other
194
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:39,000
people get gone.
I went to the Chicago
195
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,300
conference.
I think that was back in two
196
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:48,200
thousand, four or five.
I went to Chicago and and then
197
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,300
we did the hackathon, two years
ago, that's where I met.
198
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:56,500
Louise, me, I met Gabriel and I
got invited to the project a
199
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:00,600
couple months ago and it has
really been something.
200
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,400
At my soul needed.
You know?
201
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200
I mean this is a project that
ever since you start reading the
202
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,100
ranch a book, you want to take
it a little bit further, it's
203
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:13,700
like, well, we have to reveal
this to the world and it's slow.
204
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:15,900
Its, it kind of little bit
frustrating that you get.
205
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,700
A lot of people do not know this
information.
206
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,100
It can be so rewarding for them,
it can, it can help them so
207
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,700
much.
So when this project came along
208
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:28,700
and all the initiatives that we
have, all the different things
209
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:32,700
that they Center for Unity.
It's All about, I was really
210
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:35,500
excited and things are starting
to move along.
211
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,700
I feel really blessed to be part
of this team, I'm in charge of
212
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,700
sales and marketing and I'm also
helping in the Cinematic part of
213
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,700
our projects.
So really excited to be here
214
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:50,600
really excited to be with this
theme.
215
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600
And like Rick said, and Gabriel
said, this is something that we
216
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,900
want to share with the world,
especially nowadays in.
217
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:00,300
This is what you've discussed in
some of your podcast, with a
218
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,700
World that we live in and the
battle that's been waging right
219
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,100
now between God and in, the
secular world that we have to
220
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:13,800
bring the Jesus story in Jesus
life to to more people and they
221
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800
can really Comfort their souls
in there, they can find that
222
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,600
personal relationship with God
that that Gabriel talks about.
223
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:23,500
And and I think this is
something that will really
224
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:29,500
change their hearts and really
open their hearts.
225
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:32,400
Like, it happened to me.
Me where I was fed up with a
226
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,500
traditional religion, and I
found this personal relationship
227
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,400
with God and I have my own
personal relationship,
228
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:39,500
relationship and personal
religion with him.
229
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,400
So that's that's my story.
Thanks, Santiago, that's great.
230
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:47,300
How did, how the heck did you
translate nor Alicia deck into
231
00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:49,900
Spanish?
I just, and for that matter
232
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,700
Hebrew, I mean, I must be a
challenge.
233
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,800
And then finally, sir, the
gentleman I'm seeing in the
234
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,400
middle, I Jim, I'm Steven marble
I stand.
235
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,800
I'm, I'm in California.
So I'm sorry, empathize with
236
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,099
Gabriel and what he does.
Anyway.
237
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,900
Yeah, I was self introduced, I
suppose you could say to the
238
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:21,599
ranch book in 1972.
I kept it by my bedside and so
239
00:17:22,099 --> 00:17:27,800
solo reader and kept it with me
throughout my professional
240
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,600
career, working in immersive
entertainment.
241
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,700
Tainment.
And so it was something I would
242
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,500
look for connections with others
and occasionally, I would meet
243
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,100
somebody and in the word you
Branch who would drop and we
244
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:46,000
would suddenly light up and
start sharing, but it would be
245
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,900
in the oddest situations.
Once I think one significant,
246
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:53,000
one was an 87 at just came up
the other day.
247
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:59,700
Our yesterday, I was with this
fellow who had made the first
248
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:04,700
film on The Shroud of Turin and
I asked him how he read the
249
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:07,400
Rancher book.
It says exactly how the Shroud
250
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,700
was created, and he said he
stopped, and he said, you're the
251
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,800
second person in that is ask me.
If I've read the you and I spoke
252
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,800
in the other was some famous
countries country singer from
253
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:23,900
Nashville, whose name?
I can't remember.
254
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,100
So, I was really happy to know.
There were other you Ranch,
255
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,700
readers out there besides my
Myself and these circumstances I
256
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,100
kept bouncing into people and
2000.
257
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:40,800
I started becoming a student and
I'm in the Santa Fe study group
258
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,500
and its foundation of my life.
It was the first thing that
259
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:47,600
really made sense to me.
As I explored.
260
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,100
What I was envisioning is
reality versus what organized
261
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:57,600
religion was telling me was the
spiritual Universe out there.
262
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,300
So I come at it from a cosmic.
And what I really appreciate
263
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,900
about this project is it's
taking me into the life of Jesus
264
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:11,600
which as a Protestant Christian
I walked away from quite a bit,
265
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,000
when I was younger and be went
through a agnosticism into
266
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,100
spiritual seeking and all of the
different traditions and formats
267
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:24,400
and then it back to Jesus all
the time, back to Jesus.
268
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,400
And of course, when the ranch
book found me, that was the
269
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,600
biggest example.
However, did I read that portion
270
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,400
of the Urantia book?
Yeah, when I was in study group
271
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,300
but I never have studied it.
Now I'm enjoying seeing how it
272
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:44,900
fits in the big puzzle pieces of
Consciousness that I need and I
273
00:19:44,900 --> 00:19:49,400
can see the road needs as well.
So my professional career is
274
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,300
mostly an expanded Cinema.
That's where I started.
275
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:59,100
All going to Cinerama Disneyland
as a kid and by the time I got
276
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,900
in, I wanted For USC Cinema
during the days of Lucas and the
277
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:07,900
Gang.
And, yeah, I being a hippie
278
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:13,200
found myself in Idaho instead of
Hollywood and raising a family.
279
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200
I've got back into filmmaking
through teaching children
280
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,100
filmmaking, then I was teaching
deaf children filmmaking and
281
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:25,600
then oh suddenly I'm making
films again and I got involved.
282
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,500
I was making eight millimeter
films for, you're blowing up to
283
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,600
16.
Mm.
284
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,800
And cutting them.
We're cutting them on an eight
285
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,500
millimeter flat bed, that was
created in MIT and then blowing
286
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:40,900
them up to 16 and I graduated
from that when and to IMAX and
287
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,900
we'll friends of mine and myself
made an IMAX film called Kronos
288
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:51,800
and 1985, and that did quite a
quite well, it was nonverbal
289
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,400
film and later on we also
developed a phone, a couple
290
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,500
films when is Baraka in, the
other is samsara.
291
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:01,800
And 70.
Mm.
292
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,800
So my background has been in
analog film.
293
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,100
And after I die, then did Back
to the Future, the ride at
294
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,500
Universal Studios that couple of
them when in Florida and one in
295
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:17,700
Hollywood and I was their senior
project manager that was my
296
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,900
official title.
I was the meat and sandwich in
297
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:22,000
the sole survivor of those
projects.
298
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,500
So, I got my, I really learned a
lot about immersive
299
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,100
entertainment as we created that
project.
300
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,900
And I went on to do a flying
saucer and In China and other
301
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,600
things like that.
A lot of design that didn't get
302
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,500
produced.
You can imagine my experience
303
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:43,300
when I finally connected with
Gabriel about what they have
304
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:47,800
been doing, I wasn't just
ecstatic to hear that this was
305
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
happening, especially on the Sea
of Galilee.
306
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,500
And what what this could mean as
far as the new theater of a new
307
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:01,500
presentation for Jesus and I'm
telling Susan Yeah, I'm
308
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:04,800
commitments project.
I can't tell you how many times
309
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,100
I went to the center and the
dome in Hollywood on Sunset and
310
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:14,400
just got it blown away by, then
I saw gravity and IMAX a few
311
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,700
years ago, I think I got kind of
dizzy, so I, yeah, that was
312
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:22,000
probably the best IMAX film ever
made.
313
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,500
I think that's unbelievable,
2001.
314
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,500
Yes, that I saw that at the
center of the Dome as well.
315
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:32,600
So I'm lucky I consider my I'm
Such a and you're right about
316
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,900
the 80s, was the Golden Age of
wonderful theater, and I don't
317
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:37,600
think that'll ever be like that
again.
318
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,400
So creative.
So I got into radio around the
319
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,900
same time that I discovered the
ranch book, which is about 1981.
320
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:47,300
It already been a Christian.
I didn't have any problem with
321
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,200
Christianity.
I probably wasn't that devout of
322
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,600
a Christian, but I, but I had
the basics and so I always
323
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,300
thought there would be a
marriage one day between radio.
324
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:00,600
So I waited I waited.
And then when podcasting came
325
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,400
Out, that's when I realized,
that's the way to reach people
326
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,700
because in radio, it has been
taught to me.
327
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,700
And I've seen it.
The people have a real
328
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:11,000
relationship with another
person.
329
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:15,400
It's almost as good as having a
best friend and we don't listen
330
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400
in public.
Most people when they listen to
331
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,700
a baseball game or a whatever
they're listening to they
332
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:24,200
listened by themselves or their
in their car by themselves and
333
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,000
they're having that symbiotic
relationship with the person.
334
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,900
So that's what what motivates me
having, read the original To
335
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:35,000
book probably a thousand times
in some parts and at least three
336
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,200
times from cover to cover, I
share the same feelings as you
337
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,400
guys.
It's like you go back and you
338
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,800
ReDiscover things.
You've read him a thousand times
339
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:44,900
and you go.
Wow, I never saw that before.
340
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:48,000
So let's get to the unity
project.
341
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,900
So tell me what you're doing
because you've got all these
342
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:53,500
different things.
You've got the metaverse, which
343
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:56,900
is exciting to me.
Who wants to take the charge and
344
00:23:57,100 --> 00:23:59,800
kind of give us an overview.
I think I'm going to take that
345
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,200
question.
I'm sharing with you a tree so
346
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,500
obviously our listeners will now
be able to see it but I'm going
347
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:12,700
to describe it.
We call this the 25-year Vision
348
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:15,800
tree because our projects there
are four of them and I'll
349
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,800
mention them by name and explain
what they are.
350
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:22,800
They're very, very long and
quite ambitious so we're taking
351
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,100
them one step at a time.
They're based on the life and
352
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,800
teachings of Jesus.
India Rancho book and a
353
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,300
wonderful piece of art because
it's that cold the untold story
354
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:37,900
of Jesus.
It's also a book but it's a
355
00:24:37,908 --> 00:24:42,400
coffee table format book
beautifully made, which is a
356
00:24:42,408 --> 00:24:46,700
synthesis.
It's called modern biography of
357
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:49,500
Jesus based on Urantia book.
And that's what it is.
358
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,700
So, these two are our main
references and, of course, we're
359
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:58,000
using the gospels synoptic
gospels, or from the Bible.
360
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,200
Anything authentic that we can
use about the life and teachings
361
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,500
of Jesus.
We are trying to synthesize from
362
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:11,600
all these sources to create
experiences and we are focused
363
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,600
as an organization On creating
experiences that produce
364
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,900
spiritual transformations.
In this tree has a few branches
365
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,000
and now I'm going to describe to
you what those branches are and
366
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
explain what our projects are.
So the first is a software
367
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,400
piece, we call the Jesus
metaverse.
368
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:39,400
That's a nap, then we have to
in-person projects in person.
369
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,600
Means you're going somewhere,
you're visiting a venue.
370
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,200
One of them is called the Jesus
Museum, and that's going to be
371
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,900
on the shores of the Sea of
Galilee.
372
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,700
And we're currently negotiating
a lease on the same building
373
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:57,400
where right now, you can see
that Jesus or the Galilee boat
374
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,000
and Whole story in and of
itself.
375
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,200
But there is an object that will
discover 40 years ago when the
376
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,300
Sea of Galilee receded.
And from the information we have
377
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:14,200
from the Rancher book, you can
surmise that it is either a boat
378
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,800
that Jesus Built with his own
hands, or was built in the
379
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Zebedee boat shop.
Which means if it's after his
380
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,500
time, it's something he designed
So the Jesus museum is going to
381
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:30,900
be an in-person experience, you
will see this boat and then you
382
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:35,500
will go into a different room,
huge room where Stephen is going
383
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:40,800
to do his magic and basically
bring you back 2,000 years to
384
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,500
another lifetime.
So you can experience and
385
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:48,500
witness in person what happened,
2,000 years ago, but then we're
386
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:55,200
also going to try to document in
in an in-person experience.
387
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,700
What Happened.
Since what happened?
388
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,900
Because Jesus was here, what
happened to you manatee in the
389
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:06,700
last 2,000 years but that's why
we call it a museum, but it's
390
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:10,100
not a regular Museum.
It may have some physical
391
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:13,900
artifacts and some pieces of Art
and archaeology, but that's not
392
00:27:13,900 --> 00:27:16,800
going to be the main focus.
The main focus is going to be a
393
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,600
personal experience.
Now, imagine you take that and
394
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,500
you bring it to people all over
the world where they are.
395
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,600
So for those who cannot travel
to the Sea of Galilee, we're
396
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,300
going to make an experience
called the Jesus experience or
397
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:36,500
experience Jesus and that's
going to show in main cities
398
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,400
around the world just like a van
Gogh experience and the cling to
399
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,100
experience.
And there's several companies
400
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:47,600
that are doing this immersive
experience that you about
401
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,400
different types of our Cysts and
other subjects.
402
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,500
So we're going to do this about
Jesus and then that means you
403
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:59,100
can walk into a venue somewhere
around the world and experience
404
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,100
something similar to what we're
going to show in the museum.
405
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,300
Let me ask you a question real
quick.
406
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,700
I would imagine there are
probably a lot of religious
407
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,100
churches, Christian groups that
are doing something similar or
408
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:17,200
know that they would have some
sort of, you know, reality
409
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:23,600
virtual reality walking through
the, you know, Now or do you are
410
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,200
you aware of any?
Well, I live in Israel and there
411
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,300
is no Jesus Museum here or
anywhere else in the world.
412
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,500
And there is the question is why
I don't have an answer to that.
413
00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:39,800
But it has never been done.
And I think the one of the main
414
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,900
points here is that we're
marrying technology with
415
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:47,400
information.
The ranch a book has a complete
416
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,000
description of the life and
teachings of Jesus from before
417
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,500
He actually came here to after
he left.
418
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,300
We're going to focus on the time
he spent on Earth and there's so
419
00:28:58,300 --> 00:29:02,500
much information and insights
that we can share.
420
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,200
It has been never done before it
hasn't been done before because
421
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,100
you Rancho students, didn't do
it and other people didn't have
422
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:15,200
Iran.
Triple so this is a first but
423
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,000
even a Jesus Museum doesn't
exist on this planet.
424
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,900
Yet strange.
We have one remote like we have
425
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:22,600
one.
The NOAA Arc.
426
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:27,400
Yeah we do does very well.
Yeah okay and there's the Bible
427
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Museum to in Washington, d.c. a
wonderful building.
428
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,000
It's gorgeous and it's amazing.
But there is nothing about
429
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,100
Jesus.
So these two are the experience
430
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:45,000
and the museum are our in-person
projects and the fourth project
431
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,300
we call cinematic Jesus.
And this is what Kerry and
432
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:52,500
Santiago were talking about.
So imagine we Can do either
433
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:56,000
we're still deliberating what
the format will be, but imagine
434
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,300
you had a 50 episode 45 to 1
hour.
435
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:07,900
Each minutes covering the entire
life of Jesus in drama, not a
436
00:30:07,908 --> 00:30:12,000
documentary.
But the actual things that
437
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,600
happen both let's say fictional
and the real things so we can
438
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,400
meet characters that Jesus met
and so and we know the
439
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,100
interaction that happened in
Russia book.
440
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:28,300
But then we can fictionalize
what happened to these people.
441
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:32,200
After what happened to Josiah?
The blind beggar after the
442
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Sanhedrin left him alone, what
happened to Zacchaeus, that
443
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800
basically gave up his fortune
after meeting Jesus.
444
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800
Happened to the two courtesans
that he made in Rome.
445
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,200
And basically, for the first
time in their life, they were
446
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,200
treated like versus yeah,
there's so many backstories, we
447
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,900
can portray fictionally and
then, of course, tell, you know,
448
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:58,500
show the son of man and the Son
of God and his ark of
449
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:01,800
development, explain the things
that we see in the arranger
450
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,100
book, and bring those pages to
life and share his decisions.
451
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:10,000
Share his challenges, share his
relationships.
452
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:13,600
It's all based on the stories
and the information we have in
453
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,000
your on Triple J.
J Benitez has done that.
454
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,000
And the result was that
thousands of people Luis Miguel
455
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,200
included and others as well in
Latin America because his books
456
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,100
were never translated to many
languages but thousands of
457
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,000
people that read it in.
Spanish says where's this Jesus
458
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,200
coming from I want to know more
and through that they found the
459
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,000
Rancher book and decided to
study it.
460
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:43,900
We're About disseminating, the
around Chapel, we are about
461
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,900
sharing Jesus and his life and
helping people form a
462
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:50,700
relationship with God, but if
they are called to read around
463
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:53,300
your book, so be it will be
happy.
464
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:58,800
So cinematic is the fourth
fourth piece, imagine a 50
465
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,800
episode series.
A lot of hours of film covering
466
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,600
the entire story.
It will take us years to do, but
467
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,800
we want to start now and we feel
that the Time is right?
468
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:14,900
So the center for Unity is a
non-profit in Israel.
469
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,600
It's not an actual center.
It's the name of our
470
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,600
organization in charge of
executing all these projects in
471
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,800
the all the people in this
school are working in these
472
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,100
different projects.
And then the worldwide Ministry
473
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:37,600
of Jesus is a is a known as an
American nonprofit in the United
474
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,800
States.
It's mainly for fundraising.
475
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,800
And for overseeing the financial
aspects of this operation.
476
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,500
So this is basically an overview
why we're doing things.
477
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,300
What is it that we're doing?
If I will just finish by saying
478
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:58,900
that in these next 25 years and
I think even before that, we
479
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:03,000
want to reach 1 billion people
and we think that this is
480
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,700
ambitious but actually doable
but just give us an example.
481
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:10,300
The serious, The Chosen that
started 3 years ago Go.
482
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,500
They're going to release the
third season, in November, the
483
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:19,000
first two seasons.
We watched more than 400 million
484
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,300
times for granted.
People like me watched every
485
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:26,700
episode several times, but
there's still a hundreds of
486
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:30,400
millions of people who have
watched these two seasons.
487
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,400
They are planning seven seasons.
And I think with these four
488
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,700
projects, we you know, God
willing we will reach many, many
489
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:42,400
millions.
If not billions of people and
490
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,000
share Jesus bringing out to life
from the pages of your
491
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,800
Lunchable.
It's pretty amazing.
492
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,000
My first question is, how can I
help?
493
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,800
And my second question is, how
can the listeners listening
494
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,400
help?
Fundraising, obviously, you need
495
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,800
money to get this going and to
keep it going.
496
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,200
Where, where are you at with
that funding?
497
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,500
Let me take that question
because that's one of my role is
498
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,199
as fundraising.
And yeah, we're fully set up to
499
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,500
accept contributions and
donations.
500
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,699
Let me start with a little bit
of structural organizational
501
00:34:20,699 --> 00:34:23,100
structure things that Gabriel
kind of touched on.
502
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:28,500
There is the last year when this
really took a Came, it went up
503
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:32,100
the next level.
We knew we had to have nonprofit
504
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:36,800
organizations to do this and
Gabriel contacted a law firm
505
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,900
there in Israel, that had been
experience with creating museums
506
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:43,000
and that sort of thing.
And they helped us create the
507
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,600
center for Unity, nonprofit
organization in Israel.
508
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,100
And then because of tax issues,
we knew we wanted to have some
509
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,699
way for people like in the
United States because you know,
510
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:55,600
they get a tax deduction for
contributions.
511
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,500
So we set up the worldwide
Ministry.
512
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,900
Jesus, we had a law firm here,
help us with that so that we can
513
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:04,600
accept donations through
worldwide Ministry of Jesus.
514
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,600
And then through a grant
process, get those at the center
515
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,200
for Unity to fund our four
different projects.
516
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,800
So that's the relationship
between Center for Unity and
517
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,200
worldwide Ministry of Jesus.
But the best way for people to
518
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,700
help, first of all, is through
prayer.
519
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:24,100
You know, prayer is the most
powerful way of supporting what
520
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,400
we're doing.
And, you know, I think all of
521
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,700
us, Here and probably most
everybody that's listening.
522
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,700
Knows the power of prayer when
all of us pray together for a
523
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,200
good cause and something that we
believe is the will of God are
524
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,400
all these projects working at
the same speed.
525
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:43,000
Some obviously have to take
longer than others.
526
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,700
Where are we at with each of the
four branches?
527
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:49,800
Okay, so I'll take that one.
The metaverse is the software
528
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,900
app we have been spending the
last year in building, a
529
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,300
computer model of the Conditions
of Jesus, something that was
530
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:04,200
never done before where things
are connected to one another, we
531
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:09,200
have thousands of data points.
And then we can ask this model
532
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,700
questions, like, you know, how
many times Jesus was in
533
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:17,500
Jerusalem and what happened each
time in which dates was in.
534
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,700
So instead of searching the
pages we want your book, we have
535
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,000
now a model that can answer that
question.
536
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:28,000
Or for example, show me all the
times that Jesus met Met a
537
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,800
person.
Like what what?
538
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,000
I called, as he passed by just
once and what happened in each
539
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,700
each one of those signs.
Or for example, show me every
540
00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:42,700
event in which Simon Peter and
Jesus were together and show me
541
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:45,700
the list of all these events.
What happened in each one of
542
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:49,200
those and then you can start
seeing the relationship between,
543
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
for example, Simon, Peter and
Jesus.
544
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,200
So we have relationships and
places and events and times.
545
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:02,500
And topics as a big team of
people have invested thousands
546
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:06,100
of hours in collecting this
information, which now we're
547
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:11,500
building a software product to
display in a database format.
548
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:15,700
So you can do research in a
study format, that you can
549
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:20,700
actually see a sequence of
things and learn a topic like
550
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,700
Jesus on gender equality.
Now, there's so much richness in
551
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:26,500
the pages of the Rancher book
about.
552
00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:30,000
What was it that he was saying?
What was it that he said to
553
00:37:30,008 --> 00:37:32,300
different people and taught his
Apostles?
554
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:35,400
What was it that he did?
Just like the example I gave
555
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,400
before no heat treated to
prostitutes as children of God
556
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,100
and gun, it the young men that
was beside.
557
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:46,200
It was shocked.
And that young man came from
558
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,700
India.
His father was very rich, he was
559
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,300
probably living in the Harem.
He saw women.
560
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:54,100
Yeah.
So he knew the meaning of what
561
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,300
Jesus was doing and he was
shocked and he Was not the only
562
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:59,700
one.
So obviously Jesus taught a lot
563
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:05,100
of things about men and women,
marriage family, not to say
564
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:09,000
that, you know, he didn't speak
specifically about lgbtq but we
565
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000
can in fear from the things that
he did, what was his thinking.
566
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,100
So this is just one example, a
topic.
567
00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:21,000
We have hundreds of those.
Yeah yeah so that's the software
568
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,400
called the metaverse.
It's the most advanced project.
569
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,500
The museum we're negotiating
Elise and we're actually now
570
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:33,700
starting to design it.
Stephen and local firm in Israel
571
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:40,000
that has worldwide experience in
designing museums and venues are
572
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,300
starting to do this conceptual
design.
573
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:48,800
So this is advancing Carrie and
her team already have been
574
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,700
producing detailed budgets for
films for us, and we're now
575
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:56,300
writing the treatment.
This is Violence of the film is
576
00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:00,000
a street, a document that
explains the project so we're
577
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:04,100
fleshing it out and the
experience will be based on the
578
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,500
museum.
So, whatever we do with the
579
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:08,400
museum, the derivative of that
is going to go into the
580
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,000
experience.
So all four projects are
581
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,500
advancing The Meta versus the
most advanced.
582
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,200
It's the one that we need.
The least amount of resources at
583
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,900
least Financial Resources for,
but we need the most amount of
584
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:24,300
hours Force.
We've invested thousands of
585
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:29,600
hours of ready.
My goodness, you know, David
586
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,800
Cantor released a video.
I guess a couple years ago.
587
00:39:33,700 --> 00:39:37,900
Reimagining Jesus.
It is a kind of like that the
588
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:42,300
the not the document, not the 50
part series but the metaverse
589
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,400
where you sort of get the walk
through Jerusalem and Israel,
590
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,300
the way that Jesus did is it
sort of like that?
591
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,700
Like you get to see what it was
like back then through his eyes.
592
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
That's a very good question.
We're starting with something
593
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,100
that those meta versus will
exist and they're plural but
594
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,900
they don't exist right now.
Not that Jesus one and not the
595
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:07,800
other ones.
They're being built right now.
596
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,700
So we're talking a few more
years into down the road.
597
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:15,300
So the first version of the
Jesus metaverse is software app.
598
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,500
You can run on your browser or
on your phone on your tablet.
599
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:21,800
You don't need any special
special here and it's not going
600
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,600
to be immersive in that sense,
it's going to be experiential.
601
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,200
But more with media that we have
today with videos and art and
602
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,800
comics, and text and audio, and
podcasts and books, and
603
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,300
articles.
So you can think of it, as the
604
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:40,700
research mode will be like a
Wikipedia on the life and
605
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:44,800
teachings of Jesus with a lot of
media files and, and hyperlinks.
606
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,900
So you can jump from one thing
to the other and then the
607
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:51,100
studies is are going to be a
topical introduction.
608
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,300
And then there's another layer
to that product which is the
609
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:57,500
community and social layer.
Where you can interact with
610
00:40:57,500 --> 00:40:59,400
other people.
And that's this is what young
611
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,600
people today want.
They want to unbundle Faith,
612
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,200
they want to take a little bit
of the church and take a little
613
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,100
bit of meditation, a little bit
of mindfulness and do some music
614
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,800
and yoga and dancing and find
God their own way.
615
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,000
So our product is going to be
part of that Trend.
616
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,900
Yeah, in the back of my mind, I
asked myself, what is the
617
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:24,600
Christian world going to do with
this?
618
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,100
Because they're the Ironically,
they're the biggest Optical
619
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,100
obstacle.
Go go figure, right?
620
00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:34,400
But it's because of that Dogma,
you know, they want to cling to
621
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200
and I don't know how to overcome
that.
622
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,200
I woke up this morning thinking
about that.
623
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,300
There was an article in the
paper where a gentleman wrote
624
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:48,200
about how we should embrace
Christian nationalism which may
625
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,600
or may not be a good thing.
But I think what he's saying is
626
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,200
that the Christian church has an
opportunity here to become a
627
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:57,800
more political force.
By using the power of
628
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
Christianity.
I'm not sure how I feel about
629
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,600
that.
It seems almost like a, okay,
630
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:07,600
now we're trying to find a
reason to, to exist, aside from
631
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,400
teaching, the teachings of
Jesus, you know?
632
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,600
But as have you any of you had
any blowback from people saying
633
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,500
you can't do this.
Why don't you do the Bible
634
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:17,600
instead of the Rancho book stuff
like that?
635
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,200
Yeah, yeah.
Can it can I kind of answer the
636
00:42:21,208 --> 00:42:23,900
head?
Yeah well that's that's been one
637
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:25,400
of the things that we found her
too.
638
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,500
Actually For a couple pass a
couple of months, it's okay.
639
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:33,600
And we've actually categorized
as you enter book readers and
640
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,900
Christian, Christian Christian.
See you know, and we actually
641
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:42,800
try to approach to look for
donations and to look for
642
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,800
contribution and to to make them
part of our part of our world.
643
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,700
But I think like you're seeing,
it's a, I don't know, the deeply
644
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:55,000
rooted Christians, it's the
Bible, and that's it.
645
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,200
There's no, there's no.
No other reason out there and
646
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:02,900
actually we had some, some, some
people asking us, well, why are
647
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:05,400
you saying this book instead of
the Bible?
648
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,000
And so we decided to say, you
know, first we have to explain
649
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,500
what the Rancher book is.
They have to understand what's
650
00:43:11,500 --> 00:43:15,400
in there that it's not
contradicting Christianity, but
651
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,300
expanding it.
And really there wasn't any any.
652
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:24,500
We didn't find any benefit of
trying to get the resources from
653
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:27,000
them or trying to get.
Involved in here.
654
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:31,100
So that's really a question that
you see what's going to happen.
655
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:34,400
I think that the, the ones that
are really ingrained in their
656
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:39,400
really sending to their ways,
it'll be hard for them to
657
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,700
participate.
I don't know if once we put out
658
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:45,700
the information and we have the
projects out there and they see
659
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:49,200
that this isn't going against
Christianity, but expanding it,
660
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,100
they might open up, but I think
it's a little bit of what
661
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:56,900
happened with with Jesus in
that, but the Gentiles were the
662
00:43:56,900 --> 00:44:00,200
ones that really took on on his
teachings.
663
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,200
You know, the juice kind of kind
of want their went their way.
664
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,300
You're right.
I'm right.
665
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:07,800
I think that's going to happen.
And I think like we were saying
666
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,200
this is year to younger people.
I look at my I have a three
667
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,800
kids.
I have a 12 year old, the
668
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,100
seven-year and a three-year-old,
which, I mean, I can't just give
669
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:19,800
them their, yeah, checkbook at
their age, it's too hard for
670
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,700
them, you know.
But I relate what Jesus, you
671
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:25,800
know, the Jesus version of
Urantia book.
672
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,700
The really the information from
your engine book and I always
673
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:33,700
ask myself, when can they have a
resource that they can go to on
674
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:36,900
their own, and they can really
experience this on their own and
675
00:44:36,900 --> 00:44:38,100
I think this is what we're
doing.
676
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:42,700
This is putting a very practical
way to approach Jesus and I
677
00:44:42,700 --> 00:44:45,900
think that's that's the number
one way and how everybody like,
678
00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:48,600
Louise me and in the
Spanish-speaking world came to
679
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,900
read the ranch a book, it was
really that connection that they
680
00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:57,900
made with with, Jesus, that
brought them to this place.
681
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:03,700
I think Kelly had something she
wanted to say good Kelly Carrie
682
00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:05,300
Carrie.
Sorry, my apologies.
683
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,500
Well, from a production
standpoint, I can tell you that
684
00:45:09,700 --> 00:45:15,700
Kenny Morrison director and his
team are looking into all this
685
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:20,100
and they're really excited about
producing something new and
686
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:22,300
something different that hasn't
been done before.
687
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:27,200
There's so much Rich detail that
there are looking Into and I
688
00:45:27,208 --> 00:45:34,300
think that that will you know
really resonate and be relevant
689
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:38,100
to a lot of folks.
So from a production standpoint
690
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,900
there, also we didn't really
talk about this too much but
691
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:46,000
there's going to be live actors
so it's a convergent of live
692
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:52,300
actors along with the virtual
production and it allows us with
693
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:55,800
such to have so many
efficiencies along the way.
694
00:45:55,900 --> 00:46:00,800
Along the production Journey, it
allows the entire team to have
695
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:04,600
input along the way as well in
advance.
696
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,200
And, you know, a lot of
different approval, nice,
697
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,800
approval process.
It's solid that's part of every
698
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,500
production, but it's very
exciting to.
699
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,100
They are telling me, you know,
to have such new detail and new
700
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:22,200
information to produce some very
good.
701
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Anyone else on that question, do
you think America is go ahead.
702
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:28,500
Go ahead.
Gabriel.
703
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,900
I'll just say that.
One quote, from the, from
704
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,100
Cinema, from Field of Dreams,
build it and they will come.
705
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,800
So we're going to build it and
they will come but also more
706
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,700
practical.
We feel that we want to focus on
707
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:54,700
the Jesus before Christianity.
That doesn't mean anything.
708
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:57,400
It doesn't imply anything about
Christianity, got it.
709
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:02,000
Whoever is Christian, whoever's
Jewish wherever's Muslim, they
710
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,800
can have their own faith.
We just want to share this
711
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,000
person.
This the particular life and
712
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,600
teachings of this person and how
the simple truths of his gospel,
713
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
you know, that we are children
of God.
714
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,400
We are loved unconditionally.
We are brothers and sisters,
715
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,500
literally in the spirit.
We don't have to think alike.
716
00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:27,500
Look alike, you don't have to be
uniform to be United, right?
717
00:47:27,500 --> 00:47:30,700
And there's a few other
teachings about love and about
718
00:47:30,700 --> 00:47:35,000
forgiveness that allow anger and
about, you know, everything
719
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,600
being about love, which I think
he came a little bit early for
720
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
Humanity, but Humanity needs to
catch up.
721
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,300
We've been catching up
technologically wonderfully
722
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,100
materially.
But spiritually, we still have
723
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,700
some work to do and his
teachings are so relevant.
724
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:56,900
To myself, you know, 15 years
ago I was deeply stuck in the
725
00:47:56,900 --> 00:48:01,700
material world, no connection to
God, deeply lost, deeply
726
00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:06,800
miserable, and I had to get a
few flicks and Flax on the head
727
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,000
and then on the behind.
So that life will turn me
728
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,900
around.
So, I can start asking, you
729
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:17,200
know, why, or what, what else is
out there that are missing and
730
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,400
then open up to a relationship
with God, there's many people
731
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,800
who are searching They they are
hungry.
732
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:27,600
We want to share some spiritual
food with them in an appealing
733
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,500
and accessible way.
We're going to translate these
734
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:33,600
products to every conceivable
language that's a huge product.
735
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:34,900
That is what we're going to do
that.
736
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:37,000
We're going to make it
accessible to the hard of
737
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,100
hearing and the visually
impaired.
738
00:48:39,500 --> 00:48:43,400
We basically want any person on
the planet to have access to
739
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,700
this.
The metaverse is going to be
740
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:49,200
always free, no ads.
We're not going to sell
741
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,500
anything.
We're not going to sell you to
742
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:54,900
anybody else.
So we do need help building this
743
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:59,900
made of herbs.
And what I do I just finished by
744
00:48:59,900 --> 00:49:02,900
saying, remember Jesus before
Christianity.
745
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:07,000
Jesus was not Christian, he had
nothing to do with Christianity
746
00:49:07,300 --> 00:49:10,700
and most people in the world
including myself when you ask
747
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:12,700
them and they're not Christians,
they will say yes.
748
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,500
Jesus and Christianity are the
same but it's not.
749
00:49:15,500 --> 00:49:19,700
True Jesus is is Before
Christianity.
750
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:23,500
So we will focus on that on
Jesus before Christianity.
751
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:28,500
If I could jump in here without
of a personal story, a longer,
752
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:30,500
your question.
There.
753
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,000
You know, the relationship of
Christians with what we're two
754
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,400
doing here.
And but we had a fellow contact
755
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,400
us, it was a gospel pastor and
Michigan who was interested in
756
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,800
the metaverse and wanted to know
more.
757
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,500
So I talked to him on the phone
for quite a while and told him
758
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:49,700
about the meta verse and what it
was doing, you know, and I think
759
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:52,800
one of the important aspects of
the metaverse is it's not just
760
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,300
an entertainment but it's a tool
that people can use.
761
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,000
Use for in-depth, study of the
book.
762
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,000
You know, you can, you can make
all these connections through
763
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,700
these nodes that gave her was
talking about how, our, how is
764
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:07,100
everything interconnected who
was connected to this event.
765
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:10,100
Where is this event?
You know, what's what's the
766
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:11,900
area?
Like, and what's it look like
767
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:13,500
and where is it?
What's it like today and all
768
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,500
that kind of stuff?
But this pastor once I told him
769
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:20,900
what, what the metaverse
actually was, he said, you know,
770
00:50:20,900 --> 00:50:25,000
this is a valuable tool for him
as far as creating his sermons
771
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,300
and Things like that, he can go
in there.
772
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:30,200
He says I've got a whole Library
full of books but I can't find
773
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,900
what I need when I need it.
But you know the way the
774
00:50:32,900 --> 00:50:35,200
metaverse is going to work, it's
going to be very easy.
775
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,500
He could see that it was going
to be very easy for him to go in
776
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:41,800
there and dig really deep into
any particular topic and find
777
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,000
the information that he needs to
then take that to his
778
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,100
congregation and he said the
other thing.
779
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:51,700
The other aspect of the
metaverse as far as being a tool
780
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:55,800
for in-depth study was that, you
know, he has a youth or Youth
781
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,000
Center where he helps
disadvantaged youth.
782
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:01,600
He said a lot of them have
trouble reading and so, all the
783
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,800
visual and audio aspect that's
going to be in the meadow verse
784
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:09,200
will help those young people
find and discover Jesus and the
785
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,300
Jesus that they can relate to.
So I think that's a very
786
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:18,000
important aspect of the
metaphors I can't wait the, the
787
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000
movie think, I think is good to
this this multiples, multiple
788
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,600
series.
Because I think outside of the
789
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,200
United States, I think there's
much more hunger for this.
790
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Then within the United States
were to embroiled and silliness,
791
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,700
you know, distractions and bad
leadership.
792
00:51:35,700 --> 00:51:42,000
All the things that we know what
is the, what is the thing about
793
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,900
the Unseen?
Father, I remember having a
794
00:51:43,908 --> 00:51:46,200
conversation with someone On
that.
795
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,300
This was it some point.
You could see that we would
796
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:51,900
build a temple for worship
somewhere.
797
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:54,400
Along the Sea of Galilee was
that a part of any of this
798
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,400
Gabriel?
Yeah, yeah.
799
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:03,100
Actually, this is that idea of
building a temple for the
800
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:05,800
Unseen.
Father was the first thing that
801
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:12,700
arrived many years ago, and I
think that's going to be part of
802
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:15,500
this Vision, but it's not
something we're actively.
803
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,700
Really working on right now in
the beginning we thought this
804
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:25,000
Museum will have a worship area.
I think it should still have a
805
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,700
worship area, we haven't
designed the museum but it's
806
00:52:27,700 --> 00:52:32,200
easier for for us when we
discuss these things with the
807
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,700
Israeli government to say we're
building a Jesus Museum, it's a
808
00:52:35,708 --> 00:52:38,600
better.
It's an easier sell and it's
809
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,800
also true that we want to build
something like this.
810
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:47,700
I think the temple will come.
We will get the sign that this
811
00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:50,400
is the right time.
We will probably have to buy
812
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,100
piece of land around the Sea of
Galilee for that frankly.
813
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:57,700
Right now, nobody stepped up and
say Here's 25 million dollars,
814
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:00,300
build it for me.
If somebody steps up and says
815
00:53:00,300 --> 00:53:04,100
here's 25 million dollars, build
it for me, I will do that.
816
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:08,500
But burying the fact that I
don't have 25 million dollars.
817
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,400
That means we have to wait until
this is the right time and when
818
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,000
the finances are there, it's
probably going to be a good
819
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,400
indicator.
We can do the museum for a
820
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,400
fraction of that cost.
We can do the metaverse for a
821
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,700
fraction of that caused the 50
episode serious is going to be
822
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,400
the most expensive thing because
film is film, but it's going to
823
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,800
be something that will have so
much impact because people film
824
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,600
Fail and people love Cinema.
Yeah.
825
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:43,600
In Jesus still sales today.
Yeah and in books and in films
826
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,700
because he's drawing people to
him and all we have to do is
827
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:49,900
lift them up.
So this is what we're doing.
828
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,400
The temple will come.
We are.
829
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,900
It's in my mind.
It's what started all of this.
830
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:03,100
So I guess I needed to hear that
first and then sometime later
831
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:04,800
down the road, this will
materialize.
832
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:08,600
I can tell you another story
being in Israel living in Israel
833
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,400
growing up in Israel.
I know the Sea of Galilee very
834
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,600
well, been there many, many
times, there's a whole area, the
835
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,800
northern part of the Sea of
Galilee, which is completely
836
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:25,600
empty, its Rolling Hills with
nothing, nothing nothing in it.
837
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:30,000
And there's one road that drives
through it, on the way to the
838
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,600
other side.
And I was driving with my wife
839
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:37,600
Sandra several times on that.
And I could see I could feel
840
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:41,400
that this would be an
educational center.
841
00:54:41,700 --> 00:54:45,600
The years to come beings from
all over.
842
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,400
The universe will come to this
planet because they will know
843
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:55,100
who Jesus is and then it will
come here to find out more about
844
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:59,000
this particular world.
And what more befitting place to
845
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,900
build such a center than that
place?
846
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:05,900
I think the tempo will be the
Cornerstone none of that place.
847
00:55:06,500 --> 00:55:09,100
When is the right time for that?
I don't know.
848
00:55:09,700 --> 00:55:14,800
But we will find out may also be
a reflection or when that
849
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,300
happens will be a reflection of
how far we have come.
850
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,400
Yes, right.
Well I know, I know it's going
851
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,100
to be unbelievable for y'all but
we've been here for an hour and
852
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:29,200
I want to give everybody an
opportunity to say a few things
853
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,800
about their involvement and any
thoughts that you have about the
854
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:36,500
Urantia movement.
In debt before I do that,
855
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,200
though, I do have a question for
Argentinian friend.
856
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,600
There has been a lot of
discussion that I've had with a
857
00:55:41,608 --> 00:55:45,700
lot of people about the
expansion and explosion of the
858
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:49,800
Rancho book in South America,
which is a heavily Catholic
859
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,700
country of lots of little
countries that are Catholic.
860
00:55:53,700 --> 00:55:57,400
What's the explanation behind
the reception of the Rancho book
861
00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:03,600
and say, South America as
opposed to Australia, Or other
862
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:08,000
places where you have such a
heavy Catholic Australia would
863
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,600
be a bad example.
Why is it so popular in South
864
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,800
America?
What's going on there?
865
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,600
That we don't know what the hell
do you mean?
866
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,200
It's a tough question, you know
because well, who knows, I
867
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,400
think, I think we're passion.
Will we have a lot of passion
868
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:32,600
for for, for the things we
believe in and I think the South
869
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:37,200
Some people has these.
These eager to believe in
870
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:44,800
something greater and and, and
once they got into it, they go
871
00:56:44,900 --> 00:56:48,500
all the way, you know, it's like
they don't hesitate at all.
872
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
That's, that's my experience,
you know?
873
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,800
And, and, and particularly, in
the, in the, in the, in the
874
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:02,500
arantxa community movement.
I think that it has been a great
875
00:57:02,500 --> 00:57:05,200
job.
Job of some of people, some of
876
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:12,200
the people that are leading the
movement in the in the different
877
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:17,200
countries organization because
we created like a Latin American
878
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,800
Comedy, a South American
community of leaders and we will
879
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:30,300
be we will be in working.
Like I know say like, Police six
880
00:57:30,300 --> 00:57:39,000
years, six years from now.
And and, and will be will be in
881
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,700
being very active on helping
each other to understand what is
882
00:57:45,700 --> 00:57:49,700
going on in Colombia.
What is going on in Peru Ecuador
883
00:57:49,700 --> 00:57:55,200
and we all, we all are connected
and that helped a lot of people
884
00:57:55,200 --> 00:58:02,800
to be attracted to most of the
Of the of the ways we trying to
885
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,300
do.
So there's a lot of going on
886
00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:10,500
here because there's a lot of
readers who believes in working
887
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:16,900
together and and I guess it is
growing but only recently.
888
00:58:16,900 --> 00:58:23,000
Yeah so I don't know how I don't
have that many stunts because
889
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,800
she has a similar perspective.
Yeah.
890
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:29,500
Yeah.
I agree.
891
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:34,200
I'm actually from Mexico.
I live in Mexico and I think one
892
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:39,200
of the the big big thing that
happened in the 90s was the
893
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,800
Trojan horse eBooks by kata-kata
Benitez.
894
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,300
I actually read the book in
English.
895
00:58:45,300 --> 00:58:49,500
I mean, although a Mexican I'm a
bit better in English and I had
896
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:54,000
American education, but
everybody else that I know in
897
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,200
Spanish-speaking.
Got it through the the Trojan
898
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,500
Horse.
Actually some of Of our trustees
899
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:03,200
and the foundation, like, Victor
Borge, he bred the the Trojan
900
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,200
Horse and he came through that.
So I think this like Gabriel
901
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,400
said is reflecting on what's
going to happen with that with a
902
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:15,600
center for Unity and presenting
the Jesus story where people can
903
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,600
relate.
This is I mean this is the human
904
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,500
part where you can relate to and
that takes you to the rest of
905
00:59:21,500 --> 00:59:24,000
the range of books.
So I think that's what happened.
906
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,300
I mean, people knew through the
Catholicism of that.
907
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,700
They were brought up in to They
knew Jesus and now they have an
908
00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:36,300
expanded and more accurate,
accurate accurate portrayal of
909
00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:39,000
Jesus.
That really we sounds with them.
910
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,700
So I think that's that's the
key.
911
00:59:42,300 --> 00:59:45,200
Very good.
So thoughts about any closing,
912
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,400
thoughts about your involvement,
what you like to see in the next
913
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,800
year and we can start with
Carrie.
914
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:55,400
Yes, thank you.
Such a pleasure to be here and
915
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,200
I've really enjoyed your
podcast.
916
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,000
Jim thank you.
Just discovered them really if
917
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,700
you can believe that.
So thank you for all that you're
918
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:08,300
doing.
So you know, I think that what
919
01:00:08,300 --> 01:00:12,100
we're offering, what we're doing
is going to resonate with with a
920
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,400
lot of folks.
I can just tell you me
921
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:19,000
personally, you know, my family
talking about, you know, young
922
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,100
kids and such going to Norfolk
Show non-denominational churches
923
01:00:24,700 --> 01:00:29,100
can be enjoyable and the
fellowship with the ladies there
924
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:33,700
and the you know, the worship
praise and worship music is
925
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:36,900
always nice.
So, you know, it is really
926
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,600
enjoyable.
Enjoyable to be able to find
927
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,800
your spirituality and so many
different areas.
928
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,300
So maybe people can, you know,
relate to that.
929
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,100
And what I'd like to express
with regards to this virtual
930
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:54,600
production, which We're kind of
like the new buzzwords out there
931
01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:00,800
is seeing is believing so it's
just such a convergence of the
932
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,700
live-action and the virtual
reality the virtual wall and the
933
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:10,300
virtual production, it's so many
efficiencies where we'll be able
934
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:16,000
to do things and produce in a
much more efficient manner with
935
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,500
a lot of different convergence
of thoughts and creatives that
936
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:25,300
don't have to be physically.
One place with such a wide
937
01:01:25,300 --> 01:01:31,300
variety of backgrounds and sets
the we can change out basically
938
01:01:31,300 --> 01:01:36,400
within minutes and we can go
from 1920s Berlin, you know, to
939
01:01:36,700 --> 01:01:41,800
2022 Anchorage, Alaska to first
century, you know Jerusalem you
940
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,800
know within minutes.
And so that's like the Holodeck
941
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,400
on Star Trek, you know.
Remember the holiday, you know?
942
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,900
Yes computer.
Yes, I want.
943
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,700
Go, 1930.
Here we go.
944
01:01:54,500 --> 01:01:59,100
Exactly.
So the team is really excited,
945
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,700
and what we can say here is, you
know, seeing is believing.
946
01:02:03,700 --> 01:02:05,900
And I think that's really what
we need, right?
947
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,900
Yeah, it almost yeah.
It reinforces, the the visuals
948
01:02:10,900 --> 01:02:13,700
however, that works in the mind
and then you feel like you
949
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:16,700
actually have a memory cohesive
memory.
950
01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:21,600
Rick, any thoughts about again?
I know I asked you this before
951
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:26,800
but Need people, you need more
people, you need will, we can we
952
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,800
see anything now, sort of like a
teaser on what you've come up
953
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,900
with so far.
Is there a place we can go and
954
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,200
maybe get a glimpse of each of
these projects and where they're
955
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,200
at now?
Yeah, the Jesus made a verse
956
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,900
actually, Gabriel put together
real nice prototype of that.
957
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:46,200
That's out there.
I think the best way for people
958
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:49,900
to do that is go through the
website, Jesus metaverse dot org
959
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:52,900
and you can find links to that
those kind of videos and that
960
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:56,200
sort of thing.
So, but the Jesus met of are
961
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,600
certainly our project.
That's the most advanced nearing
962
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:00,900
completion.
Okay?
963
01:03:01,300 --> 01:03:06,400
So years ago I did a a I found a
software where I could go back
964
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:11,400
in time and see If a specific
date fell on a specific day and
965
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:16,200
I calculated, I went through the
Jesus papers and I started
966
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,500
saying okay, well, I would look
for something that said Jesus
967
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:24,700
one here on Sunday May 3rd, you
know, 22, whatever it was.
968
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,400
And every one of them matched up
perfectly to this software that
969
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,100
gives you in the reason I'm
asking this is because in your
970
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:36,700
process of all these projects
have you yourself, found
971
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,900
nuggets?
A validation.
972
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:41,900
You know what I mean?
In other words, were you in this
973
01:03:41,900 --> 01:03:44,600
process of putting all these
stories together and these
974
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,000
visuals and ideas, where you
ever for a moment going, wow,
975
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,800
this is just so rich in detail
that it in the parts of what
976
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,200
you're doing.
Were you able to gleam even more
977
01:03:56,500 --> 01:04:00,700
validation of the Rancho book?
And amazement at the authors who
978
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:03,600
are able to Midway, ER
commission, how they were able
979
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,700
to get so much right in their in
their narrative.
980
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,900
Is that mean anything?
Any of you sir.
981
01:04:08,900 --> 01:04:11,100
I think that's I think what
you're saying there Jim is
982
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:13,600
exactly what we're trying to do
with the metaverse is help
983
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,400
people reach that you know, I've
been around long enough that
984
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,200
those nuggets of verification
came for me, long ago.
985
01:04:20,700 --> 01:04:23,600
No the Urantia book.
One of the things that's that
986
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:28,900
really appeals to me is it's the
only religious texts or
987
01:04:28,900 --> 01:04:32,900
spiritual texts that names dates
and places, you know.
988
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,100
Yeah.
We went through as far as
989
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:37,500
something we were, you know,
doing personally several years
990
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:40,900
ago Go and pulled out all the
dates from the ranch ebook
991
01:04:40,900 --> 01:04:43,800
specific dates on this day, such
and such happened.
992
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,700
The next day this happened and
there's over 300 specific dates
993
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:51,200
listed in the Ranchi boat.
And those are the kinds of
994
01:04:51,208 --> 01:04:54,200
things that people can go into
the metaverse and find, you can
995
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,900
find those dates and connect all
the dots and all that kind of
996
01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:58,500
stuff.
So, go ahead, Karen.
997
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,100
Well, I was just going to say
it's just been exciting for me
998
01:05:01,100 --> 01:05:04,700
personally to see all these
seemingly.
999
01:05:04,700 --> 01:05:07,700
Coincidences just popping and
happening.
1000
01:05:08,500 --> 01:05:14,500
As I help with this project, I
have read a lot of Squire Rush
1001
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:19,100
Nails books over the years on
the meaning of coincidences and
1002
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:23,900
he has social media and such
he's a television producer that
1003
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:28,400
produced you know some
children's educational
1004
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,000
programming.
Schoolhouse Rock back in the oh
1005
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,000
yeah ladies are.
So when only public television
1006
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,300
at that point was really doing
educational TV and he It
1007
01:05:38,300 --> 01:05:42,600
compiles, all these little
stories back to stories, telling
1008
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:48,100
the story of all these seemingly
coincidences that people around
1009
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:53,100
the world will will swear that
it's the divine intervention or
1010
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:55,400
Divine help or the angels
helping that they, you know,
1011
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:58,700
it's kind of something medical.
They never go back in and check
1012
01:05:58,700 --> 01:06:02,200
on this and they went and
discovered, you know something.
1013
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:07,700
So I've read and enjoyed their
delightful of all the stimuli
1014
01:06:07,900 --> 01:06:10,500
Incidences.
So, for me, personally, we don't
1015
01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:15,700
have the time now, but it's been
very exciting to feel that I've
1016
01:06:15,700 --> 01:06:21,000
been on the right path.
As I have experienced some major
1017
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,800
coincidences in the process of
working with this team and I
1018
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:31,200
look forward to more and, you
know, I think that's going to be
1019
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,100
a lot of fun as we continue
along.
1020
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:37,700
We have a lot of things to keep
us busy have teams of people.
1021
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,200
People that are ready and
looking for work and looking at
1022
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,400
how is any of this been impeded
by covid and the current sort of
1023
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,700
political tension that's going
on in the world because we're
1024
01:06:48,700 --> 01:06:50,700
all in our different parts of
the world.
1025
01:06:50,700 --> 01:06:54,100
Trying to coalesce.
It has helped, I think covid has
1026
01:06:54,108 --> 01:06:56,600
helped.
We're gonna make lemonade from
1027
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,800
Lance right?
That's right.
1028
01:06:58,100 --> 01:07:02,200
Well, you're we're learning how
to work together with teams
1029
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:06,100
around the world and work in a
efficient manner.
1030
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:10,000
And You know, we can talk for a
long time about that, but I
1031
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,900
think that in those regards, I
think it's helped the process in
1032
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:16,800
the team.
Well, I want to thank everybody,
1033
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,100
Gabriel, and of course, Carrie
and Stephen, and Rick and
1034
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,700
Santiago and anybody I missed,
thank you.
1035
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:27,100
It's been an honor to be here
and I want to help I like this
1036
01:07:27,100 --> 01:07:30,000
because I wasn't sure it was.
First time I've had more than
1037
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,300
one person on it, the program.
So it worked out nicely.
1038
01:07:34,700 --> 01:07:38,200
I could go on forever.
And I want to keep track of this
1039
01:07:38,900 --> 01:07:42,500
project, so keep me informed.
And then I can relay that
1040
01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:45,000
information and Rick, any of you
that want to come on.
1041
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:47,100
And share any of your own
experiences.
1042
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:50,300
You have an open invitation and
I hope that you'll take me up on
1043
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:52,300
it.
We're trying to build something
1044
01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:54,500
here.
I'm shocked that we're not
1045
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:57,700
farther along in terms of
awareness of the Rancho book but
1046
01:07:57,700 --> 01:08:01,600
I'm not dismayed because I know
how rich and complex the book is
1047
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,300
and it takes a commitment.
You've got to be willing like I
1048
01:08:05,308 --> 01:08:08,700
think one of you said you can
hand the book to somebody but
1049
01:08:08,700 --> 01:08:11,300
they got to want to read it.
And they've got to be open to
1050
01:08:11,300 --> 01:08:14,000
it, and they've gotta have a
hunger for something.
1051
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,800
And I tried to tell that to my
Kids in my people that I love in
1052
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,200
my life and they just you know,
I just I'm more amazed that they
1053
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,399
don't want to know anyway, I
wanted to just thank all of you
1054
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:26,000
for that and again I want to
give out a couple of pieces of
1055
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,100
information.
Call ears a phone number for
1056
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:31,800

to see inside this wonderful
1072
01:09:23,500 --> 01:09:25,700
project from those who are
actually involved.
1073
01:09:25,700 --> 01:09:29,399
And I can't wait to see how each
of these projects come together.
1074
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,300
And what transformative effect,
they will have in bringing
1075
01:09:32,300 --> 01:09:36,300
people on this planet closer to
God through the examination of
1076
01:09:36,300 --> 01:09:39,100
