“Nothing New Under the Sun: Implications for the Dissemination of Galactic Knowledge”
Abstract: Diffusion theory argues that given the vast amount of time the universe has existed, extraterrestrials have had plenty of time to cross the Milky Way galaxy and establish a community of civilizations. One implication of this hypothetical, intra-galactic dispersion of civilizations deserves mention. Namely, that every known-and as yet unknown-innovation of human genesis has probably already occurred countless times within these advanced civilizations. The sheer number alone of civilizations that have hypothetically existed for eons supports this. The idea that there is nothing new under the sun may be true, after all. |

“Unity Consciousness: A Quantum Bio-Mechanical Foundation”
Abstract: Citing research in consciousness, quantum physics, biophysics and cosmology, we propose the collective amplification of quantum effects as the basis for scientifically describing Kundalini awakening, and the higher-order, emergent phenomenon of Unity consciousness. Such alterations of consciousness have their origin in quantum-scale processes, such as self-induced transparency, superradiance, superpositions, quantum tunneling, and Bose-Einstein condensation. Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness. We postulate that bundles of fibers (neural cells), each containing numerous microtubule "lasers" acting in unison, collectively result in a massive surge of light energy to the brain. The sudden onset and radically altered nature of such states are consistent with a model based on the activation of a laser. The liquid crystalline nature of the human body likely provides a foundation for the non-local aspect of Unity consciousness. The unifying paradigm of the "quantum hologram" is introduced to apply quantum properties to macroscopic events. |

“A Quantum Bio-Mechanical
Basis for Near-Death Life Reviews” Abstract: Near-death life reviews pose a challenge to current memory research in terms of the sheer amount of instantaneous and empathetic information recall. Advances in quantum physics, bio-mechanics, holographic information theory, and consciousness studies support for the first time a fully realizable quantum bio-mechanical basis for near-death life reviews. We introduce the unifying paradigm of the quantum hologram as a non-local carrier of information. We further investigate the interrelated phenomena of non-local communications, and the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF). Recent confirmation of the ZPF lends credibility to vast memory storage capabilities outside the physical body. Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness. Discovery of the liquid crystalline nature of the human body provides further support for our model. Microtubules, DNA and the entire brain are described as communicating non-locally with virtually unlimited memory storage capacity. |

“Recovery of
Bulimia Nervosa through Near-Death Experience: A Case Study” Abstract:
Single case studies have lost considerable prestige since Freud's
historical precedence. Yet they can provide a solid framework upon which
to portray a previously unknown process. A single case study can disclose
the process by which a compulsively disordered psyche successfully negotiates
healing. The life-threatening medical complications and suicide attempts
that are sometimes concomitant with eating disorders, specifically Bulimia
nervosa — sometimes lead to near-death experiences (NDEs). Various
Studies will be cited as evidence for that claim. Its significance will
then be explored under the auspice of a single case study. One woman's
story will be presented to illustrate an attempted suicide, her near-death
experience, and subsequent recovery from bulimia nervosa. |

“Fatima Revisited: Abstract: Believers and skeptics have long pondered the identity of Our Lady of Fátima, the brilliant entity who appeared above Fátima. Was she the Virgin Mary, sharing divine secrets with believers? Was she an angel, bringing a message of peace to a world at war? Or was she an alien being, inspiring humanity to look up and contemplate the mystery of the Cosmos? Now, in Fátima Revisited, an international panel of top scholars subjects the legendary apparitions of Fátima to the scrutiny of modern scientific analysis; explores the connections between encounters with apparitions, angels, and aliens; and proposes a new paradigm for such unexplained phenomena. This third volume in the acclaimed trilogy is the result of a transdisciplinary study by the Multicultural Apparitions Research International Academic Network (Project MARIAN) at the University Fernando Pessoa in Porto, Portugal.

“What are Close
Encounters? Abstract: The 'close encounter' phenomenon affords an opportunity to highlight the process by which proponents of the mainstream scientific paradigm grapple with a phenomenon that undercuts materialism. A review of psychological research highlights the scientific unacceptability of the anomalous phenomenon — to the researchers themselves. When CEs do not “fit” their chosen conceptual framework, researchers have resorted to the value judgment that the phenomena are irreconcilable with “normal mental functioning.” The culture of psychology has thus been strongly inclined to consider such people mentally disturbed, whether reporting a UFO sighting, an 'alien abduction,' or even believing in UFOs as extraterrestrial spacecraft. But though the reviewed research reveals no solid evidence such reports result from mental illness, cultural rejection, fantasy-prone personalities or brain disorder, psychiatry has reached an unqualified scientific rejection often generated by speculation and the ideological bias of an underlying materialist framework. Skeptical researchers can thus be seen to indulge in “the politics of ontology”, a culturally selective interpretation of what constitutes reality. |

“108: Sacred
Sanskrit Sounds and the Molecular Basis of Life”
Abstract:
The sacred number “108” holds special significance
for both ancient Vedic tradition and modern molecular biology at the
most fundamental level of existence. The relationship between “108”
in Vedic tradition and “108” in molecular biology also has
potential significance for those who seek to understand the spiritual
knowledge of the East within the context of the scientific paradigm
of the West. The elaboration of this interconnection offers an
invitation for direct participation — through the use of sound
vibrations. We begin by following the evolution of one author's
meditation practice in order to illustrate the functioning of “108”
in a spiritual practice. We then elucidate specific structures and functions
in molecular biology where exactly 108 microtubules, no more and no
less, orchestrate cell division within the human body. The final
section provides practical methods for incorporating sacred sound into
one's daily life. |

“Angels and Aliens: The following presentation was given at the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) 2001 North American Conference, July 27th in Seattle, Washington. Abstract: Social psychology research
has given us comparative studies of those who have experienced either
Near-Death or UFOs, such as Kenneth Ring's (1992) comparative study
of Near-Death and UFO experiencers. This presentation investigates subjects
who have experienced both. What do encounters with both Near-Death and
UFOs reveal about human nature and the nature of reality? From the case
files of a transpersonal psychotherapist come preliminary conclusions.

| Quotes
from Study Participants:
“We as a species are being
forced to recognize a larger reality in direct conjunction with the
Indigeous prophecies of the coming earth changes. It is my opinion that
we are being prepared for a major transition. I am not referring to
the cosmic community's presentation of themselves, but rather a much
larger shift dimensionally [that] affects the entire planet.” “I do believe that my NDE and
ET experiences have altered my view of material and physical reality.
I am not afraid of dying anymore. When I was in my NDE, it was so calm,
peaceful, and serene, that I could have stayed in that state forever.
No, pain, fears, nothing but serenity. Plus, in my ET experience, I
do know now that they are REAL! I was not afraid, and would like them
to return, like they said they would. I feel more at peace now with
my self and my loved ones. I know now that there are higher beings (the
ET's) and I do believe they are here to help those who believe in them.” “I was afforded the chance to
see that reality is truly composed of multiple realities and multiple
levels of consciousness or states of being. Experience is shaped to
a large degree by what an individual can handle. Sometimes the awakening
is abrupt and traumatic. I have experienced both the smooth kind and
the bumpy rides (I find that the more open I am, the easier the transition).
Synchronistic symmetry is now the way my daily experience connects me
to all those other realms within.” “I experienced a lot of physical
trauma as a small person so apparently it was easy to take me out and
bring me back.” “I
enjoy and appreciate this physical reality more than before and it is
less fearful to me. If only I could have been born with this simple
stamp of understanding, all life's problems would have not seemed so
traumatic or important. The veil between realities is much thinner,
if that makes sense. I understand that we are more intertwined with
the one, whole total picture.... Because of the nature of this reality—in
order to experience it fully—a certain amount of separation from
the other is needed. However, it seems to me that the veil just keeps
getting thinner. In my daily experience, I feel like I am in many different
realities all at once, just more focused here. So, it is not so bizarre
or strange to me when voices, shadows, odors, etc., leak through the
veil from another reality. It surely makes experiencing this reality
much more interesting and entertaining.” “In
some ways, They [the Beings] do relate to my involvement with Buddhism
simply because both are making me more aware and also conscious of the
law of cause and effect. For example, the reality that all beings and
things are interconnected. If you change one thing, it has consequences
you can't even imagine... yet. We need some way of realizing this interconnection
on an experiential level rather than just a theoretical level. Then
we'd understand the need to limit our population and to raise our young
in an entirely different way. We'd realize the need to limit our consumption
of our planetary resources.” “My life has been forever altered
in every area imaginable: spiritually, mentally, physically, and other
areas which are yet to be revealed. I think it gives me an upper hand
in many instances, being able to see things from a whole new level of
power, or possibility that others would be able to comprehend. It's
as if I've been given a rare (but not so rare) opportunity to see beyond
this little life on Earth, and that somehow I'm to aid in some special
growth or understanding, or spiritual revisitation by others who are
here. I've always been into holistic / homeopathic remedies, wildlife
protection, animal rights, wilderness protection, habitat restoration,
etc. Maybe this is just a facet of life for those of us who will help
the world grow intellectually?” “Many other 'dimensions' must
surely exist for that type of experience to have ocurred (well, transferance
of energies at the very least). It's something that happened, that I
got to witness. One day I hope to learn why, or for what, or what I'm
to do with all that. Til then, I'll continue to question a lot and do
the little that comes to me to do. Writing this to you is a little something,
eh?” “One of my most vivid and favorite
memories is walking through a wide, lit-up hall. It was like the walls
themselves were the light bulb. Next to me was a being I felt such a
deep love and respect for. He was giving me instructions. I don't recall
what they were. He was very tall, not the same as the one who plays
doctor. Very lanky. I would say he somewhat resembles a praying mantis.
When I looked up at his head, I saw only bright white light. Like it
was too bright for me to see. This same being was next to me when I
woke up in ICU after the accident. I saw him in my peripheral vision
and sensed his energy. When I turned my head to look straight on, he
was not there.” “Once while vacuuming, I was having
a clear conversation with an ET, I'm pretty sure. I was being told that
everyone goes. I argued back that that was impossible as I mentally
flashed back pictures of all the clueless people. Very clearly and gently
I get back, 'everyone HAS to.' I was given the feeling that I had to
help 'the clueless' become clued in, so to speak. I argued and said
that I didn't want the job. And this goes on and on until I realize
that I am verbally telling my vacuum cleaner all about the impossible
state of this planet. When I have these types of experiences, I don't
feel like I am from here. I'm not one of the natives. It feels like
I came here to do a job that looked easier to do from there than it
does from here. It's like I can see from both the view from the ET's
side and from my own perspective at the same time.” “[After]
the first accident I was given the opportunity to ask for help when
I need it from a different level of experience. It was my feeling that
my [NDE-coma experience] — it felt like I was in India.... I have
friends [in India] from my first accident. Nowadays, I'm going to the
extraterrestrials. I'm a bit like a fool in life, too, in a good way.
I'm just open to whatever's going on. Just looking for that strongest
frequency or what's going to open up the life-force in me.” “The
whole thing was about speeding up my healing process. I remember the
next day when I woke up and came down for breakfast - I was almost running
down the stairs! I had just learned how to walk and weaved very slowly....
I had this intensity like my whole body, every cell was just [vibrating].
It was very powerful, you know. It was too much. It was like I had this
strange, friendly relationship [with the beings.] Yeah. So I spent probably
half the day doing things really well. Like a different person almost.
I was doing... whatever you do in the hospital in the daytime. They
are 'rehab-ing' you. So I just asked [the Beings] to turn it down. They
did but they didn't turn it down all the way. It was still there but
they turned it down to a more comfortable place for me. I had a level
of control. How strong I was!” “I now have this friendly communication
going on. It's not that often, but I'll [say], 'Oh, hi,' that kind of
thing. And I'll say, "Can you help me out with this?" And
on some level, I'm not taking myself completely seriously, so I keep
it light. But it happens every once in awhile, maybe more since the
accident. [JC: Can you give an example?] (pause) I feel really silly,
but helping me get a new job.... I got my voice back. That's unbelievable!
And my back, too, that's really strong. So something was altered. I
had a lot of skeleton-structural problems from the accident before.
Like, one leg was longer, the really bad one. Back stuff [was healed],
and how that affects your energy levels.” “My exceptional human experiences
(EHEs) have repeatedly shown me that everything is in a process of changing,
unfolding, and evolving and that there is an infinitely bigger picture
than the one I (we) operate from in the realm of physical reality. My
EHEs represent a body of knowledge, and when viewed in sequence, one
can esily see why I have chosen to work as a personal growth consultant,
utilizing clairvoyant, clairsentient, and clairaudient skills to...
give (people) hints about their multidimensional being, and connect
them to a larger life story.... Because I have the privilege of seeing
our divinity, I have come to trust the Mystery.” “Each of (my) EHEs... have not
resulted in forming who I am. Rather they have been messages, codes
about who I am, and who I am to become. Once again, my responses have
been paramount in the process. I hid my own light, refused to see it
all around me, until I felt strong enough to be an effective vehicle
for it. My EHEs kept me on track. They have cheered me on. To experience
light (love, higher consciousness, nivana, God) on earth, I have had
to see and touch a bit of heaven.” |
