Television has not yet actualized its potential nor realized its responsibilty to humankind. The most powerful medium on the planet, the medium that has the greatest impact on individual and collective consciousness, has fallen far short of its ability to enrich and empower our lives. If someone would argue that this is not television's mission, I would then ask them to please explain what they think constitutes that mission. Surely, it must be more than purpose as a description of function. We all know that television transmits programming; and that this programming is generally intended to entertain or inform.

The message of the One begins with the illumination that all is of the One, that each and all is endowed at the deepest core of Being with the wisdom, knowledge and creative intelligence of the Divine Presence, the Divine Subtle Essence of the Universe. Love, Peace, Unity and the existence of an invisible Reality that transcends our physical senses and perceptions are part of the primary message of The Great Emanation. This was the message heard by Abraham over five thousand years ago, delivered to Moses on the mountain known as Sinai, played out of the flute of David on the Hills of Judea, sung by Solomon in the Great Temple of Jerusalem, taught by Buddha, and brought by Jesus.

My father’s name was Owen, a name he gave to himself upon coming to the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. Though he was not a concentration camp inmate, Dad was nonetheless a Holocaust survivor and a decorated war hero. He was a strong man, and yet a kind man, and I learned from him that strength and kindness were not incompatible bedfellows.
