Presentations will also be given by Sri Raniji and Tony Robbins. Sri Raniji is the lay monk and leader of the Oneness Movement in North America and Canada. Tony Robbins, regarded as a major figure in the life-coaching field, is now affiliated with the Oneness University. Twin avatars Sri Bagavan and Sri Amma, acknowledged as teachers and bringers of god-realization by more than twenty million adherents around the world, began the Oneness Movement in southern India in 1991. Their campus is called The Oneness University where attendees from around the world and from all religious denominations come to receive an experience of Oneness. Deeksha, or the Oneness Blessing, is a repatterning of neural functioning in the brain that creates a shift in thought processes and dissolves the personal perception of separateness. In three short years, million of individuals around the world have received the Oneness Blessing. Their lives have changed significantly in terms of internal happiness and their capacity for love and peaceful coexistence.
A participant from last year's LA conference held in April, 2006, Evelyn Cole, was a sufferer from fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. She writes: “When I told my family I was going to attend this conference, they were blown away, because two weeks before I could barely go around the block… I cannot tell you the amount of healing I did in those twenty-four hours. I was not in pain, I was not fatigued, in fact, I was so elated and happy I could barely sleep.” To learn more about where you can receive the Oneness Blessing, visit the website at www.onenessmovement.org or join the One-Day International Oneness Conference at the LA Convention Center, 1201 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA, June 17, 8am-6pm.

Sicko, Michael Moore's Newest Movie will be Released June 29
Opening in theatres nationwide on June 29, Michael Moore's newest documentary takes on our national health care system. In his usual hard-hitting style, the film demonstrates the personal tragedy of victims who have insufficient insurance coverage. The film opens with an uninsured carpenter with severed digits who must decide if he wants doctors to reattach his ring finger for $12,000 or his middle finger for $60,000. “Sicko's” central thrust is to hold up models of superior government-provided care in France, Canada and Cuba.
“I don't have to convince the American public that there is something wrong with our health care system. I think most American people already feel that way,” said Moore, who enjoys great coverage himself through the Directors Guild of America. “That's why I don't spend a lot of time in the film on the healthcare horror stories. I wanted to propose that there's a different way we can go with this. I'm hoping that the American people, when they see this film, will say, ‘You know, there is a better way, and maybe we should look at what they are doing in some of these other countries'.”
In a recent email, Michael stated that the premiere of “Sicko” at the Cannes Film Festival was an overwhelming success. He related that the Wall Street Journal reported that hardened reporters and critics wept and that the 2,000 people who watched the premiere were alternately in tear and laughing during the two-hour film. After what seemed like a 15 minute standing ovation, Michael was approached by many viewers who said it was his best film yet. Visit www.MichaelMoore.com for more info. Let the healing begin…
