USB headquarters strives to communicate with all brothers and sisters by the following means:
Announcements
The USB has released some YouTube videos — see just below.
The USB’s book, Spiritual Light, containing its complete official teachings is now available.
60 years! 2016 was our 60th anniversary. Let us give thanks!
The USB was founded on earth in San Francisco, California, on 28 December 1956. (Illumined Souls have told us it has existed previously on earth, centuries ago.)
Videos
In a series of YouTube videos the USB introduces its simple yet profound teachings, coming from the highest spirit realms.
The first few short videos in our initial release include the following:
• A Trailer, on USB Videos (1:39);

• An Introduction to the USB (3:36);

USB Publications
The USB publishes the spiritual teachings presented by its Illumined Inspirers, and related materials. Its principal publication, the book titled Spiritual Light, presents the most important teachings that Illumined Souls have delivered to humanity on earth in ages!
For the availability of USB books, audio recordings, booklets, leaflets, newspaper reprints, etc, and for more information on their contents, please visit the USB Bookstore.
The USB Leaflet is intended for distribution to people hearing of the USB for the first time. It is available for download from the USB Bookstore.

Contact Us
Please click here to send us a message. We at USB headquarters love to hear from interested people.
If you forget our website address (domain name), just remember USB (like the computer ports) and spiritual (an unlikely combination!) and Google them together.
Other Languages
The USB is very hopeful that its teachings and philosophy will spread in other languages and cultures.
Free machine translation
At the top left of each page, you can select from over 130 languages offered by Google Translate. We understand that automatic translation of Web contents is not all that reliable, but it is surely better than none at all and we understand it is continually improving.
USB translation
Translations of this web site, the USB volume, and other USB documents by the USB will surely be more accurate, but they will take a lot of work. For this, the USB will need volunteers. And it will need others who can help initiate blogs, chat rooms, and the like, in other languages and in Braille.
We would like to first direct translation efforts towards large populations that speak little English and are more open to teachings such as the USB’s. We understand the most spoken languages are, in order: Mandarin, English, Spanish, Hindi-Urdu, Russian, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, German, French, Malay-Indonesian, Japanese, and Italian.
The first translation, of our book Spiritual Light into Spanish, is close to completion thanks to some dedicated volunteers.
USB Plans and Wishes
Please let headquarters have your constructive suggestions.
(Please also see How One Can Help under What One Can Do, and see the Contact Us section above.)
At headquarters, we would love to hear from individuals who resonate strongly with the USB’s objectives, and those who would like to work with us in promoting them. From these, we would like to see a cadre develop who are devoted to helping as volunteers on USB projects, and individuals who dedicate themselves to reaching out to potentially interested people.
We look forward to seeing more and more evidence in society, in various forms, of members and people actively living in accordance with USB teachings, spreading good to all others they meet in their daily lives, and working towards USB goals.
We hope that members will regularly review the USB teachings, and will interact and cooperate with other members, not only in their home areas, but also worldwide, such as via the Internet.
Without in any way “pushing” the USB on others, we hope that members will keep an eye open for those who might be in tune with the USB’s philosophy and way of life, and will offer them more information if they show interest.
Often philosophy and teachings like ours come to people’s attention in their later years. We would like to find ways to get more people involved earlier in life, when they should be better able to introduce USB philosophy to their young children.
We ask that everyone representing the USB in any way will remember our source at all times, and so will always strive for the highest standards.
For more specific help that the USB would be happy to receive, please read Helping the USB.
You may see a list of publications we plan to prepare.
Plans and wishes for other methods of communication
We hope that, in time, with the assistance of its members and others, the USB will also be able to undertake many of the following:
• More web sites, blogs, chat rooms;
• Magazine articles, letters to the editor;
• Advertising the USB and its activities in various ways;
• USB libraries;
• Educational courses, lectures, workshops;
• Guidance for members on how to network with other groups and headquarters.
• Demonstrations of mediumship;
• Meetings for worship;
• Regional USB headquarters;
• Schools and camps, training sessions, visits, tours, outings;
• Conferences, conventions, congresses;
• Plays and shows;
• Radio and television broadcasts, podcasts;
• Audio and/or audiovisual recordings (of interviews, courses, etc.)
• Movies, documentaries, videos, and video clips.
• Translations of all the above into other languages (discussed in the previous section)
All of these, where possible, should mention the USB, its website, and/or its principal book, Spiritual Light.
