Works of Suspicious Origins/Possibly Channeled
- The Urantia Book The exact circumstances of the origin of The Urantia Book are unknown. The book and its publishers do not name a human author. Instead, it is written as if directly presented by numerous celestial beings appointed to the task of providing an "epochal" religious revelation. For each paper, either a named celestial being, an order of being, or a group of beings is credited as its author.
- The Urantia Book is a spiritual and philosophical book that discusses God, Jesus, science, cosmology, religion, history, and destiny. It possibly surfaced sometime between the period of 1924 and 1955 in Chicago, Illinois. It is 2,097 pages long, and consists of an introductory foreword followed by 196 "papers" divided into four parts.
- Vladimir Megre claimed to have met with a physical entity starting in 1994 called Anastasia, a young woman, born in 1969, who is living in Siberian Taiga near a river named "Ob". Anastasia is claimed to have lived in the forrest since birth and has adapted to being able to survive without any structured shelter, or agriculture and has a strong telepathic connection with nature, animals and other humans around the world. The books were written later by Vladimir including detailed conversations with Anastasia which were claimed to have been recalled by him with the help from Anastasia's strong telepathic ability.
- The books set forth ideas about the education of children and the importance of communicating with living Nature as well as ideas ranging from nutrition and health to spirituality and sexual relations. With the wisdom on matters of everyday life, the books have become the basis for a number of sociological studies and scholarly papers. The books have sold over 10 million copies, starting first in russian then translated to over twenty languages. There are currently 10 books in The Ringing Cedars of Russia series, all of which are available in English. For a complete listing of publications see Main Article Vladimir Megre.

Famous quotes containing the words works of, works, suspicious, origins and/or possibly:
“The works of women are symbolical.
We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,
Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
To put on when you’re weary or a stool
To stumble over and vex you ... “curse that stool!”
Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean
And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
This hurts most, this ... that, after all, we are paid
The worth of our work, perhaps.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“We thus worked our way up this river, gradually adjusting our thoughts to novelties, beholding from its placid bosom a new nature and new works of men, and, as it were with increasing confidence, finding nature still habitable, genial, and propitious to us; not following any beaten path, but the windings of the river, as ever the nearest way for us. Fortunately, we had no business in this country.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Whenever we discover a dislike in us, toward any one, we should ever be a little suspicious of ourselves.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“Power corrupts ... when the weak band together in order to ruin the strong, but not before. The will to power ... far from being a characteristic of the strong, is, like envy and greed, among the vices of the weak, and possibly even their most dangerous one.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
