In 1948, Lao and Walter Russell founded this unique home-study university, open to any student from any walk of life anywhere in the world. For almost fifty years, the home of the USP was at Swannanoa, where Walter Russell's painting, sculpting and historic documents were on display, and from which the Russell Home Study Course and books went out to the world. Today, while still centered near its

historic Virginia home, the University expands its global presence through the Internet and through developing centers around the world.

Through poetic language and spiritual insight, Russell reveals a unified understanding of science, consciousness, and creation itself.

“Now what is growth? Actually it is a series of sequential births and deaths. There are more births than deaths in the first half of any life cycle, and more deaths than births in the last half, but that preponderance is balanced in space by the very opposite until the rebirth of the body from the recorded seed.” - Walter Russell
