Intention Matters in Real Ways

“In the 1980s, during the peak of the Lebanon War, an incredible study was conducted. “It was hypothesised, based on many previous smaller experiments, that if enough people were connected in meditation, stimulating a ‘powerful field of peace’ within – that there would be a radiated influence of peace without, ie. one that affected theContinue reading “Intention Matters in Real Ways”

To Be Peace

Please send thoughts and imaginings and prayers only of love and compassion to everyone right now.

Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate

A few people have told me about spiritual teachers or personalities who have said that Trump is a light being, doing light being work, and what do I think about that … so here’s what I think about that.

Coming on Bio & A&E this summer …

Quite a few years ago I participated in a program at The Monroe Institute (TMI) that was filmed for a show called “the unXplained” on Bio and A&E channels this summer … as far as I know, this series is no longer available to the public.
