The Voice
A V.O.I.C.E. Entertainment Original Feature Film
Have you heard "The Voice?" David Sereda Directs a new kind of film about consciousness and the search for enlightenment.
This film examines the merging of spirituality, religion and science. In this grand marriage, we can hear the voice of a new kind of wisdom that will not threaten our view of God, but will only deepen our understanding.
Einstein once said, "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
The film helps us answer questions that human beings face: What is consciousness? How does consciousness affect our reality and how do our thoughts become things? What is mind over matter and how does this occur?
The science of consciousness provides us with tangible methodology of how to reach enlightenment!
What is the experience of enlightenment like? Find out what experiencers are telling us and discover ways to achieve heightened states of awareness. Witness ordinary people having extraordinary spiritual experiences, Saints and consciousness explorers and scientists who are pioneering the way with the latest technology who have groundbreaking evidence.
"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man."; (Albert Einstein)

Krishna Das
Sharing his heart through music and chanting is the basis of Krishna Das' own spiritual work;his way of serving the Divine within himself and others.
In the winter of 1968, Krishna Das met Ram Dass, who had just returned from his first trip to India. After living and traveling with Ram Dass in the U.S., and hearing Ram Dass' many stories about Maharaj-ji, Krishna Das traveled to India, where he was blessed to meet and stay with this extraordinary guru.
While living in India for almost three years, Krishna Das' heart was especially drawn to the practice of Bhakti Yoga—the yoga of devotion. Fanning the flames of his inner longing, Maharaj-ji led him deeper and deeper into the practice of kirtan—chanting the Names of God. As an appointed pujari (priest) for the Durga temple in Maharaj-ji's ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, Krishna Das immersed himself in the worship of the Divine Goddess.
Krishna Das spent as much time as possible with Maharaj-ji over the years in India, opening himself to the flow of Grace and purifying his heart. Early in 1973, he was asked by Maharaj-ji to return to America.Visit his website.

Terri is an experienced Air Force medical life for 22 years, including 2 years in Turkey. She so appreciated the sense of community that military bases exemplify for all active duty members and their dependents. After she saw the words "May Peace Prevail on Earth" on an 8 foot Peace Pole in the Pentagon chapel in April 2003, she knew that the Dept. of Defense and the proposed Dept. of Peace can work side by side. Now, Terri is the executive director and co-founder of the Arizona Department of Peace Campaign, a grassroots inclusive, proactive, nonpartisan, solution-oriented organization which networks with and educates citizens from all paradigms about the proposed cabinet level Department of Peace and how it will impact our communities, locally and globally. By connecting with and empowering fellow humans through dialogues, through sharing stories, through active listening...walls are tumbling down and people discover all the things they have in common.
The U.S. cabinet level Dept. of Peace will research, articulate, and facilitate nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflicts. It is an idea started in 1792 in an essay by Dr. Benjamin Rush, who signed the Declaration of Independence ...an idea whose time has come. The current legislation to create a cabinet level Department of Peace will be re-introduced into Congress in Washington, D.C. in February 2007, for the fourth time since July 2001. There are now more than 20 countries working to create Departments of Peace. Terri publically appeared as a UFO witness of the 1997 Phoenix Lights sightings and was featured in an award winning documentary on the 1997 Phoenix Lights sightings. She is interested in promoting peaceful relations with extraterrestrial visitors, and ending efforts to weaponize space. Main websites: azdopcampaign.org & thepeacealliance.org.
