My name is Pradhana and I'm part of this team we now call Urantia Nations Outreach. I will bring a bit of my story. Everything begins with a dream. The Urantia Book tells us about a kind of dream that are a message from unknown places, and only we, ourselves will know when a dream is not yet a dream but a message. Well, I was in a state of suffering seeing how we were polluting this Mother Earth. This feeling was so strong that I was really sad. This was the year 1995, when I was 24 years old. In the dream I was with a group of seven youngsters and an old man who was our guide. The feeling was like going on a long journey. We were in the countryside in a vast place full of hills; after a long walk we saw a light coming from behind a hill. We walk to this light without fear in a state of deep peace, soon we were there and it was a flying saucer. There was a stair and two beings welcomed us, they were just like human beings but with a notorious state of spirituality: they were surrounded by an ethereal light. Inside the shuttle they made us sit, and in front of each of us was one of them, and each of us had a question, and there was something special in the communication, it was like a perfect understanding. The answers were in the same vibration of voice as the questions, it was so beautiful. Well, my time to ask came, but it was in silence like a telepathic communication, I will never forget the face and peace of the being who answered me. In silence I expressed to him all my sufferings about the pollution of the Earth, about all the plastic that we are just throwing to our Earth. He stands up, walks to a cabin, opens it and there was a strange machine with a kind of computer. He took a plastic bottle, put it in a receptacle, made some operations on the computer and the bottle disappeared in seconds. In another receptacle a kind of organic yellow soil started pouring from the machine. That was all, and in the moment I was awakening from this message dream a clear voice told me to go north. So in a couple of weeks I was on my way to the North without a clear understanding of my dream but with a hope to find some answers on the trip. I live in Chile, South America, so this was a spiritual pilgrimage and of course my first aim was Machu Pichu, "The sacred land of the Incas". I was entering a small hotel in Pisaq, Peru and as I walked in, I saw some gringos sitting there and one of them asked me; "What are you doing here?" - "Just travelling", I said. "And what are you doing here?" I asked. "We have a book that we read, called The Urantia Book", was the answer. I couldn't believe it, so I said: "I want one! Once I read a book of J.J Benitez and a friend told me that the writer based the information of his books on The Urantia Book, and now I was there in a strange place with some strange gringos and with this strange book. Great! One of these gringos was my brother Norman Ingram, immediately there was a connection between us. We went early in the morning to the Pisaq ruins, I told him about my intensions of going north and he told me about his desire of reaching other countries of South America. So there we were, Norman, me, and the energy of our little blue treasure. It was the beginning of a kind of mission, the Urantia World Outreach Nations and the adventures were ready to start. As I write I ask myself how to express the most deep feelings about this work that we have chosen, because I want to reach the same depths in the ones who will read these words, and I guess that the way is to let the soul express through my writing. And I see that it works because I can again bring to life some great feelings, as when you feel and live the Godly love that the book's teachings bring to our lives. And with this energy we were in countries such as Malawi, Mozambique, Bolivia and a lot more with the feeling that it was the first time that the book was in those countries, and the welcoming of the people was so much. It's just an amazing feeling, I always said it's like putting the seed in good soil. This overwhelms me so much that I can just thank God. I can call our work a neo-mission cause we have learned from history and from the book the damage of imposing any kind of spirituality to someone that has no sense so we just go to the main libraries to donate books if they want and we also go around with books to share with the ones that are sent to us. Always with the aim of sharing our spirituality with their ways of seeing the spirit as the only path of growing together with respect, I'm sure that this has been the clue as to why we have been so well received. My intention is to let you know what we are doing, because without your help our work can't be done, you are part of this Urantia Book energy. Thanks to all the ones that have believed in our work, this spiritual work. We have been in so many countries so you can imagine how many stories we have, but I want to
