Steven Hairfield on Toward The Light 28.12!

Steven Hairfield, Ph.D ~ At the beginning of his lectures and workshops, Dr. Steven L. Hairfield likes to ask his audience:

What if what you term as God, heard everything you thought and considered it a request for it to give you what you were thinking? Would you change the way that you think?

He also asks this: 'Do you feel as though something is about to happen?' These questions generally trigger a myriad of thoughts and surprise in the visions and minds of the listeners present. It opens the doors to the world of spirituality and consciousness of being, and it indeed sets the thought process in motion. He himself was asked these by one of his teachers while in the Far East.

Dr. Hairfield has an interesting and fascinating background. Having been raised in a very 'normal' environment, he decided to serve his country in the military, during a rather troubled era. His duties and expertise led him to Vietnam. Anyone who was there can tell you that it was not a pleasant experience. His search for peaceful answers and higher understanding guided his steps within the walls of a Zen Buddhist monastery in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam, where he would take refuge and study whenever he could. His natural curiosity, blended with a very acute intuitive sense led him to deeper questions of life and the purpose of self. The monks began to insist that he should learn of Issa. He then learned that Issa was in fact Jesus. He later learned that Issa, Jesus, had spent much time in what is now known today as India, Pakistan, Ladak, Nepal, and Tibet before returning to the Middle East to carry out His mission. This truly inspired his personal search for knowledge and a passion to somehow recreate the Master's 18 years not mentioned in the Bible. He had set a goal that would intrigue and shock him later, but first, he had to understand what made the human mind work in the fashion that it does. Upon his return to the United States he studied for and received a B.A. in Psychology. Then pushed by his dream for Universal Truth, he travelled to India following an inner urge which led him to his greatest teachers and lessons, Tibetan Masters. They guided him through India, Nepal, and twice into Tibet, they smuggled him into the later as it was Red Chinese with closed borders at the time. While in this part of the world he adapted to the life of a monk, and for many years he continued his research in the Far East and the path of Jesus while proving to himself that indeed He had been there studying. While there Dr. Hairfield honed the talents Spirit had given him learning many healing techniques and became a Reiki Master and the techniques of focusing energy for higher purpose he now teaches these techniques to his students and audiences throughout the world.

When he returned home once more after working with his eastern teachers he wanted to understand the belief system and studied the greatest belief system of all and received an M.A. in Religion and Theology, becoming quite interested and fascinated by the field of Metaphysics in the process. He knew by what he had already learned that there was another message contained in the idea of religion and the Bible. Thus some years later he went back to the books and received his Doctorate in Metaphysics. Through his years of studies with Zen and Tibetan Monks, Ishaya Monks, as well as the Cree and Blackfoot Native Traditions, this true American Monk offers an unparalleled approach to understanding how we influence our own paths in life and why we experience what we do. In his lectures, workshops, TV and Radio appearances, he enjoys sharing his unique blend of philosophies to assist others in the attainment of their spiritual goals. His only desire is that all people find consciousness. In 2000 he was inspired to communicate his accumulated knowledge and experience to the world through a book. It is now in its second printing and is titled Once Upon a Parable – A Journey into Life. Dr. Hairfield has poured his love for humankind into this explicit work. He has completed his second work called: Return to Innocence – Messages from the Ancients, a spiritual guide to a better way of living life and how the original messages were shifted from their original intention of the universe to an external physical reality. There are two books written about him entitled Interview with an American Monk I & II. He has recently released his best work of all A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible. This book answers the mysteries of the Bible and the Master Himself. It is based on 37 years of thorough research that led him all over the world. A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible is based on historical and metaphysical fact which includes the missing books that were not originally included in the Bible. It is a journey of Mastership, Empowerment while achieving an inner Divine nature. He has also recently been selected by the Edgar Cayce Foundation through the Association of Research and Enlightenment (ARE) as one of their few intuitives that are the most tested intuitives in the world and it is an honour to serve using this field to change people's lives.

Dr. Hairfield continues his writing, counselling, his lecture and workshop tours, and has even released two CDs the first is the Seven Essene Mirrors of Relationship and The Power of Thought. There are also many of his seminars that are available as down loads from the web site. He resides in Reno, Nevada in the high Sierra Mountains.

A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible

Diane Goble on Toward The Light 21.12!

Diane Goble lives on the side of a mountain in the eastern Sierra Nevada Range in California, and her latest passion is scenic photography from Mammoth Lakes, California to the Cascade Range in Bend/Sisters, Oregon... But her life's work involves the field of death and dying. She has been a psycho-spiritual counsellor for over 20 years, has written several books, and has recently developed a training program to teach alternative practitioners, coaches, counsellors, and ministers how to teach others the Art of Conscious Dying into the Light so they can become Transition Guides for their loved ones and friends.

Diane came to the field of conscious dying as a result of having had a near-death experience 36 years ago during which she was shown the process of transition and given information to help her pursue her spiritual mission as a human being. Since then she has spent many years studying and meditating — evolving toward higher consciousness and sharing what has been revealed to her through her writings and her web sites. This is her spiritual path. In her human life, she has three children, five grandchildren and a dog named Spirit.

Diane is a member of the on-line NDE Support & Interest Group, Light On the Water, which is facilitated by Rev. Juliet Nightingale.

This is going to be a deeply moving and empowering show — especially as I'm now facing my own pending transition... :)

Marilyn Strong on Toward The Light 14.12!

Marilyn C. Strong has a B.A. in Religion and Adult Education through Antioch University West and an M.A. in Spirituality and Culture from Matthew Fox’s Institute for Culture and Creation Spirituality.

Marilyn has worked in the areas of educational design and development and in the areas of group facilitation, ritual, music, and celebration. She was on staff at the Chinook Learning Center on Whidbey Island as Director of Education for seven years, facilitating their non-residential, nine-month Core Studies Program and their residential program, Spirit and Culture. Scholars in residence included Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme, Brother David Steindl-Rast, David Spangler, ritualist Elizabeth Cogburn and singer Susan Osborn.

Marilyn then went on to co-create and co-facilitate with Renie Hope, the Gaia Spirit Rising Program, a nine-month long women’s spiritual growth program that ran for eight years. Guest presenters in the program over the years included China Galland, Merlin Stone, Christine Downing, Demetra George, Luisah Teish, Dorothy Fadiman, and Denise Lynn.

She also created and co-facilitated with Jerry Wennstrom the six-month program, Thresholds: Exploring Passageways to the Soul through Dreamwork, Ritual and the Creative Process. Guest presenters in this program included Marion Woodman, Christina Baldwin, David Whyte and John O’Donohue.

Recently, Marilyn toured the country with Jerry, working more in-depth with the material of Jerry’s book and video and co-leading workshops together. She also facilitates group and private ritual, is a Jungian-oriented spiritual counsellor, an ordained minister, and a ceremonialist with a keen interest in depth psychology, dream analysis, Alchemy, and the healing process that comes through making ritual art. Marilyn facilitates weddings and memorial ceremonies, and her work has also taken her into the area of death and dying, supporting friends in the dying process with both voice and ritual. For many years she was an annual guest presenter at the Women of Wisdom Conferences in Seattle.

Marilyn has also released a CD of her chants, songs, and drumming, Songs for Sophia, which is available upon request. Her singing can be heard in the sound track of the film, In the Hands of Alchemy. She brings depth of understanding, chanting and excellent ritual creation to any event.

It will be lovely speaking with Marilyn about her work in Death Midwifery. Join us! :)

Betty Kovacs on Toward The Light 7 Dec!

Betty J. Kovacs received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic Language. She has studied and taught in Europe and the United States. She is Professor Emerita, Pasadena City College, Pasadena, California, where she taught literature, writing, mythology and symbolic language for over twenty-five years. She has studied the spiritual traditions of prehistory and indigenous cultures and has worked with shamans from the Amazon and the Andes in Peru. She has also served many years on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California. Dr. Kovacs has been interviewed on radio and local cable TV. She is author of The Miracle of Death and 'Journey of the Mothers' in Earthwalking Sky Dancers. Recent seminar series include Deeper Orders of Reality: Creating Our Future and The Feminine Dimension of the Divine.

---

The Miracle of Death is an inspiring narrative of one family's extraordinary grief experiences, including precognitive dreams, visions, after-death communications, out-of-body experiences, and synchronistic events, surrounding multiple deaths in their family. The sole survivor and narrator is a Western trained academic who initially struggled to accept realities that ultimately changed every aspect of her life. Weaving personal, historical and mythic perspectives, Dr. Betty Kovács shows us that such individual experiences, along with cutting-edge scientific research, support a radical change in the way we think about death—and life.

Benefits to the Reader:

• To better cope with the death of a child or loved one
• To realise that consciousness survives physical death
• To understand dreams and waking visions as valuable modes of communication
• To know that mystical experience is natural
• To increase our awareness of human possibilities and other dimensions of reality
• To discover an expanded and healing worldview
• To understand that we are all a part of each other and that together we can heal the earth

When viewing a video interview of Betty on her website, I noted how similar our message is — even verbatim — and I knew that this would be a profound and beautiful connection between us. This is going to be a very uplifting and empowering show and one you'll definitely not want to miss!

November Archived Shows Are Up!

Talk about being up-to-date in a timely manner, all of the November shows on Toward The Light are archived and up on the TTL site now. Enjoy listening to them and spread the word! :)

Tim O'Reilly on Toward The Light 30.11!

Tim O’Reilly grew up in the Queens region of New York City, USA. He is the producer, director and writer of the documentary, Round Trip: the Near-Death Experience. Tim studied painting and drawing at the Arts Students League of N.Y.C, then studied Film at the School of Visual Arts in N.Y.C. and graduated with a B.F.A., in film.

Tim had a near-death-like experience (NDLE) when he was ten years old. Although Tim didn’t give his NDLE too much thought, he believes it inspired him to make Round Trip, thirty years later.

Round Trip: the Near-Death Experience, endorsed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, originally released on VHS in 1996, has been re-released in DVD on July 2008, with English Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) and Spanish and French subtitles.

---

Seeing this film brought tears to my eyes straight away — taking me back to my own near-death episodes and how, no matter what and after so many, many years, I'm still so deeply affected by the rich substance of all of these heartfelt testimonies from fellow experiencers. When you look into the eyes of these individuals you can clearly see how transformed they are as a result of their NDEs and the fact that the fear of death is totally absent. This will be a splendid show, so please join us!

Jan Vandersande on Toward The Light 23.11!

Jan W. Vandersande, Ph.D., author of the book, Life After Death: Some of the Best Evidence, has published more than 80 scientific articles so brings a wealth of technical expertise to bear on the subject. He holds a doctorate in physics and has served professorships at the University of Witwatersand, South Africa, as well as Cornell University. Dr. Vandersande has worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is currently the communications director for VIASPACE Inc. He spends a lot of his spare time reading about, analyzing and writing about psychic phenomena.

---

Life After Death: Some of the Best Evidence ~ It's the essential-and seemingly unknowable-question that has haunted mankind since the beginning: What happens after we die? In Life After Death: Some of the Best Evidence, renowned physicist Dr. Jan W. Vandersande surveys evidence for an afterlife and finds a lot of the observed physical phenomena both credible and compelling.

Intended for sceptics and believers alike, Life After Death condenses more than 100 years of literature and testimony-including the author's own psychic experiences as a long-time member of a psychic circle-to sort out the astonishing from the fraudulent. The investigation gives readers a front-row seat to séance rooms to experience such marvels as direct voice, ectoplasm and materialisations—messages and events, he shows, that are directed from beyond the grave. As the book makes clear, the occurrences during such episodes, though fantastical, can't be dismissed as mere fantasy or fraud.

Through historical accounts, photographs and personal experience, this engagingly written work adds to a growing body of evidence for the existence of an afterlife that's increasingly difficult to ignore.

I am so pleased to have yet another brilliant physicist on Toward The Light who's also come up with compelling evidence in favour of the Afterlife.

Sonia Barrett on Toward The Light 16.11!

Sonia Barrett, like many, has been a seeker of more expansive knowledge since childhood. Her curiosity and persistence have guided her to a greater understanding of the veils behind which collective consciousness is shrouded. Sonia was born in Jamaica and at the age of 13, along with her parents, she moved to the United States. She later attended Roosevelt University in Chicago and majored in voice, pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. Her curiosities of the journey lead her to further studies of the science of the body and the process by which it is interwoven into the third dimensional matrix — a matrix spiralling out of an infinite number of other matrices. Self empowerment is the foundation of all that she shares. Dependency is not encouraged. Her layman understanding of Quantum Physics widens her ability to intercept the simultaneous nature of timelines.

Sonia Barrett’s work is an embrace of science and spirituality as one in the same. She is the Host of Sovereign Mind Radio programme, www.sovereignmindradio.com, which airs on Inner Light Radio and BBS Radio. She is also the founder and publisher of New Corporate Body Magazine, www.newcorporatebody.com and author of The Holographic Canvas, The Fusing of Mind and Matter. She has written many articles exploring time travel, immortality, ascension and the science of past lives. She has been interviewed on a number of radio programmes. Sonia currently presents workshops or what she has termed ‘Memory Lectures’. The principle of these Memory Lectures is to reawaken the memory of those attending. As noted on the back of her book, “the answers are all tied into the forgotten past and like the single cell of a plant our history is encoded in our cell, DNA and the air we breathe”. Sonia presents concepts and ideas that stimulate thought and revives empowerment. Her objective overall is to present clarity, insight and definition to a word now commonly used: the ‘matrix’. She aims to write and present material which cuts right to the heart of the matter — presenting a realisation that we have lived our lives as programmed beings, from birth to death, at least for many. She boldly questions the concept of death — exploring the original design of the body supported by an elevation in consciousness. Her information is sought globally.

---

The Holographic Canvas ~ by Sonia Berrett explores many possibilities — one of which raises the question, Is Earth as we know it but a matrix or system of programs? Is death, then, a necessary process or is it simply part of the matrix program? Is it then possible that the concept of dying will cease to exist once humanity uncovers the deception? Sonia Barrett proposes that human bodies are vehicles not yet turned on but designed to make molecular modifications, according to the vibration of our consciousness. She takes us on a journey of our existence in a holographic world, as she states 'a virtual game — an assortment of illusions strung together by the brain and the mind. It's an exploration of the illusion of a solid world generated by fluid movements against a canvas of energy — all of which is taking place against the backdrop of the void.' Barrett concludes that the answers are all tied into the forgotten past and, like the single cell of a plant, our history is encoded in our cells, DNA and the air we breathe.

I am truly excited about interviewing Sonia, as we're SO aligned in the message we're sharing. There is no doubt in my mind that she's a kindred spirit! :)

Chris Everard Couldn't Be Reached!

In only a three-week period, I've had two 'no-shows' on Toward The Light — Steve Mitchell on 19 October and now Chris Everard on 9 November. I did receive a warning from Steve in advance that his telephone and internet were down, but he had his mobile. However, even his mobile failed us that day and we were unable to make contact. Still, Steve was kind enough to alert me that he was temporarily out of commission — and these things do happen — but this was not the case with Chris. He just simply could not be reached, period.

When I had Chris Everard on Toward The Light back on 31 August, he was interested in being on my show again, so I booked him for 9th November. Actually it was his idea to be on my show yesterday — even though he was travelling to the Vatican on the previous days. When I did express concern, he assured me he'd be back in time for the show and he also had other show engagements booked upon his return from the Vatican. I had his mobile number as well so I hoped we were covered...

When we tried to ring both of Chris's numbers and still couldn't get him no matter what, I was quite put off, needless to say. Why didn't CE have the decency to contact me and postpone or cancel the show as Steve had had the kindness to do? I tend to hold good manners and decent human courtesy in high regard and when people fail to display simple thoughtful behaviour, I find little or no real excuse for it.

It seems that several people — especially some who have become more 'high-profile' or well-known — often become too ego-driven and self-centred, which results in a lot of thoughtless behaviour. In my way of thinking, there's no excuse for this. We are all having the human experience on this plane and no one is more 'superior' or 'important' than another, just because of one's so-called 'status' or 'station' in life, etc. David Icke, for example, is extremely well-known; yet he was kind enough to ring me and let me know that he couldn't make a show when he was suddenly taken ill. But, bless him, I was granted enough time to replace him for that show and we simply rescheduled, which is perfectly fine!

Why CE wouldn't have granted me the same courtesy to contact me and let me know that he'd not be able to make the show after all, I do not know. He could have postponed and it would have been fine, as we would have rescheduled. I realise that things happen — especially when one is travelling — but so much of the time this type of behaviour has been out of sheer neglect and discourtesy, that's all.

When you're in the media, there's a certain etiquette that should be followed and, with one who's been on numerous film and radio appearances, you'd think he'd know the protocol and display these basic courtesies.

I am going to give Chris the benefit of the doubt and allow him some time to contact me and let me know what happened — why he wasn't available for his guest appearance on my show and why he failed to contact me in advance, then. So far, there's been no word from Chris ... and if I don't hear from him within a reasonable amount of time, I will be left with no choice but to not have him back on Toward The Light.

I endeavour to be very professional and responsible in the production of this radio programme. I spend countless dedicated hours in putting this tremendous show together and am passionate about it; so it's awkward when we have these mishaps — especially when listeners are tuned in expecting to hear a guest! Alas, some things just can't be helped...

My sincere apologies to all of my listeners for this. It does happen that a certain guest will be a 'no show' or 'stand me up' — Ned Dougherty was one such individual who completely stood me up without a single word — but thank goodness this is a rare occurrence. I will say that I feel deeply disappointed when a guest or potential guest is not exercising integrity. It only takes a moment to make a call or send an eMail. Courteous communication is vital in this work and in our lives.

The simple recipe, if we're going to fare well in this world, is communication, co-operation and love. :)

Chris Everard on Toward The Light 9 November!

Chris Everard ~ He is Britain’s most successful documentary film-maker. He is the only British director making feature-length documentaries for cinema audiences and the only British director to have late show slots every weekend at cinemas in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and Rome simultaneously. His is called the ‘Enfant Terrible!’ (which means the terrible child) of British Cinema by Paris Match magazine.

In 2007, he made no less than 4 x two-hour feature-length documentaries, which were all subsequently released on DVD, each with two-hour bonus discs. That means in 2007 he almost single-handedly matched the entire cinema output of the combined British Film Industry. Since 2004, he has made no less than seven feature-length documentaries which have all been on independent cinema release and then sold to DVD worldwide.

He has just started a 12-acre film production facility here in the South of France. ENIGMA MOTION PICTURES is the most profitable and biggest independent documentary film production organisation in the world, outselling all major studios. It is the biggest independent film production facility to be established in Europe since the era of Ealing Studios. ENIGMA MOTION PICTURES has it’s own on-line production suite, high-definition film-to-video facilities and uses the same computers as George Lucas uses to make Star Wars.

· He was the first person to broadcast video on the internet in 1997. He designed my own codec software to do this.

· He launched the world’s first global TV station broadcasting documentaries and movies on the internet at 9pm on the 9^th of the 9^th, 1999.*

Since then, THE ENIGMA CHANNEL has consistently been in the top five per-cent of entertainment websites. He's ruthlessly independent and has refused buy-out offers from huge corporations. Consequently, his websites are regularly hacked and attacked. There are bogus versions of the sites, and he hates websites which are run by Satanists, Freemasons, Royalists and Christians alike.

* And we're going to feature Chris on the ...9^th!—discussing his film, Secret Space. Join us! It should be a very interesting show, indeed.

How would you live if you really knew you are a timeless being of energy, an indestructible soul, an immortal and eternal spiritual being?

For thousands of years spiritual masters have long taught this good news that sets us free. Now, scientific studies, clinical evidence, and numerous firsthand experiences strongly indicate:

Life is a totally safe and magnificent adventure amidst eternity!

But What About You?

Do you:

- Greatly fear your own death?

- Grievously miss departed loved ones and worry if you'll ever really see them again?

- Search for sensible answers about heaven, hell and other afterlife questions?

If you're like most people and you ponder these kinds of questions, Dr. Pitstick's book, Soul Proof, is just what you're looking for and here's why...

Maybe you're not so fearful but want to deepen your spiritual understandings about soul issues.

Deeply knowing about your inner self allows you to live fully and successfully no matter what happens outwardly.

With the information in Soul Proof, you can learn about the vast amount of evidence and decide for yourself!

...And other respected doctors and scientists are also featured.

Mark and I have got much in common — including some special friends — and I feel another friendship brewing... :) It will be such a joy to have him on the show, so tune in!

A Real Joy, As Always...

It was such a joy having Peter Shockey back on Toward The Light. The events that led to his producing the film, Life After Life, are quite remarkable and clearly, it was meant to be. He details his uncanny ability to produce special effects with light and being able to capture the essence (or close to it, anyway) of being in the tunnel ... or on the Other Side ... and enveloped by the Light during a near-death episode. It was as a result of this, plus his having had a profound spiritually transformative experience in his youth ... that convinced Raymond Moody that Peter was, indeed, the right film producer to create a movie version of his best-selling book.

And now, as was mentioned on the air, the film has been digitally remastered and is available for sale in DVD format for one's enjoyment.

For those who are interested, one can order the DVD (some of which are autographed by PS) directly from TTL or you can order from the official LAL website and, for a limited time, receive a free copy of the beautiful book, Journey of Light, by Peter & Stowe Shockey.

To order the LAL DVD directly from TTL, please click on the LAL image above. To order the LAL DVD with the free book, please click on the JOL image at right.

Even after all this time, just seeing the LAL trailer ... or just merely thinking about it ... brings me to tears; it is that beautiful and moving—not to mention how inspiring and full of promise it is.

Peter & Stowe are such wonderful friends and I am honoured to know them and to work with them.

Enjoy Life After Life in all its splendid glory! What a masterpiece!

Couldn't Make Contact with Steve Mitchell, Our Apologies!

Due to our not being able to reach Steve Mitchell this evening, we were unable to do the show with him and will have to re-book him at a later date. I just ended up speaking on my own—revamping some of what was discussed last week on the HAARP panel and focusing on being centred in love at all times ... in order to deal with the current crisis in our world...

We apologise for this, but this does happen at times... Unfortunately, BBS does use Vonage (VoIP telephone service)—even though Don knows how truly awful they are—so that's the source of a lot of these problems! I use VoiceStick.com for my VoIP provider and they've been wonderful, good quality, personable and exercising integrity.

Dragons & Rings by Steve Mitchell. Prepare to step into the world of magic, mystery and myth as Steve Mitchell reveals the truth about ancient stone monuments, crop circles and the world of dragon lore. Linking quantum theory with UFO's, paranormal phenomena and the wisdom of our ancestors, Mitchell answers questions that modern scientists and archeologists are loath to put on record.


What is the real purpose and function of stone circles?

How are they linked to the crop circle and UFO phenomena?

Was it by chance or did an elder human race really have intricate knowledge of the dynamics of inter-dimensional reality hundreds of thousands of years ago?

Are we alone or part of a multi-dimensional universe with the keys to other worlds at our very fingertips? Click image FMI.

It will be nice to have Steve back on Toward The Light. He's fun, witty and so rich with information. The love and reverence for these topics are so evident in his exquisite film, Dragons & Rings.

Archived HAARP Show is UP on TTL Site!!!

Talk about fast and efficient, the archived show featuring the HAARP panel, Alfred Webre, David Icke & Cathy O'Brien is now up on the TowardTheLight.org site located on each guest's profile page. There is no charge to listen to the archived show; however donations are always encouraged and welcomed ... to help keep us on the air. Thank you and enjoy! :)

An Amazing Show with Alfred, David & Cathy!

To say that the special panel on Toward The Light featuring Alfred Webre, David Icke & Cathy O'Brien (Mark Phillips wasn't able to join us after all), was absolutely amazing would be an understatement! The love and the optimism held by all of us was profound ... and it was so easy to share not only the truth of what is taking place in our world, but the tremendous hope and opportunity that await us in future! These dear souls are such endearing examples of the triumph of love over fear and, when we can remember Who we are ... and our divine heritage, nothing whatsoever can really harm or destroy us in any way.

Trance-Formation.com <<~>> This is going to be an amazingly powerful show that you cannot afford to miss! Tell others about it and tune in for a programme that's guaranteed to change your life forever! Here is a comment from a listener: OMG! THANK YOU!! These are SUCH AMAZING headliners!!!!!!!! ...But you have really outdone yourself ......I cannot even believe you will have THE Alfred Webre (top exopolotics expert-!!, David Icke (Reptilian Illuminati expert extraordinaire) and also Cathy O'brien and Mark Phillips (former CIA operatives) all on the VERY same program to talk about HARP???!!! HARP makes me mad as hell every time I hear of a storm coming to slam into one of our coast lines or multiple fires (100???) started by dry lightning???? sounds a bit fishy! The earthquakes and volcanos erupting in south America make me even more mad about HARP. All of these people have been so brave to share with us. Their stories have affected me so deeply. After I heard Cathy O'brien's story of how Phillip rescued her from being a manchurian candidate and CIA operative I was affected for months...I think that was the same evening when Dr. Bell told us of the real reason the US wanted to shoot down the sattellite. To eliminate all evidence that they can trigger attacks on people and even make a targeted person have a heart attack.

Rick Madison on Toward The Light 5 October

Rick Madison ~ I was born in 1961 in Jasper, Alabama. At six months of age, I fell off a sofa and went into a coma for six days. Prayer 'warriors' in my family began to pray and intercede for me. God intervened in my behalf and brought me through.

At five years of age, I was shot at, several times, by a great uncle who had lost his mind. He shot my grandmother four times and Jesus raised her from her deathbed a week later. Jesus kept me safe, as I hid in the house. When I was eight years old, I was almost killed in a public laundromat. I was playing hide-and-seek with a friend. I had climbed into a large commercial dryer to hide. A group of thugs walked in and they saw me in the dryer. They braced the door shut and began searching for the proper change. One of the girls, who was with them, fought for me and begged the others not to start the machine. As they all left in a hurry, the girl ran back in and opened the door for me.

After many accidents and near-death experiences, I gave my life to Jesus at 10 years of age. I graduated from Leeds High School in Alabama in 1980. After finishing school, I was introduced to various drugs and alcohol. I stopped worshipping God and followed the world. However, God was still drawing me back to Him by His Spirit. At age 23, I had a very successful air-conditioning and heating business, but I did not have joy and peace.

My maintenance company repaired equipment and kept the health department happy for over 100 restaurants. Though I was making a lot of money, I was wasting it in the night clubs and party scene. I was headed for a rude awakening.

Visiting Death

On April 13, 1986, I was involved in an car accident, a head-on collision. I was pronounced DOA at Vanderbilt University Hospital. I received numerous broken bones such as a broken neck, ribs, jaw, hip, and a crushed foot. I had a torn aorta artery, a ruptured spleen and a punctured lung. I remained in a coma for 27 days. Doctors advised my family to make funeral arrangements, but the 'prayer warriors' in my family believed Jesus could raise me up. I had an out-of-body experience. Jesus came to me and spoke to me. I sat up out of the coma. I walked out of a wheel chair ten weeks later. I was completely delivered from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and filled with the Holy Ghost. I hope you get this complete testimony in my book entitled, Raised from the Dead or the cassette tape/CD entitled Walking Miracle Testimony. I studied under my pastor who also evangelised.

For an entire year, I watched, listened, studied the Bible, and learned how to flow in the Holy Spirit. I learned how to make alter calls, and pray for people to receive from God. I began evangelising in 1987 and started to travel, conducting revivals all across the United States. Many miracles occurred in my meetings and I started praying for people in their homes. As a result, I prayed for 16 people in comas and 14 have awakened! Six of those had been brain-dead. Often when God delivers you from something, he births that same kind of ministry in you.

Raised from the Dead ~ The true story of a young man's personal testimony of being raised from his death bed. Richard L. Madison was involved in a head-on collision on April 13, 1986. The leading trauma physician at Vanderbilt University Hospital, in Nashville, Tennessee, pronounced Richard dead-on-arrival. Injuries included a torn aorta artery, ruptured spleen, a broken neck, hip, ribs, and a crushed foot. He remained on life-support machines for 27 days. Richard had what he called an out-of-body experience, and an encounter with God. Then he sat up out of the coma. Infections and swelling disappeared, and he walked out of a wheel chair ten weeks later. He was also set free from drugs and alcohol. Richard had several dreams and visions. This led to the most remarkable faith building book for the Christian community.

It is so lovely to know that this individual has been granted the power to heal people through prayer and the laying on of hands—as Reiki and other energy healing practitioners do—and this is definitely not uncommon for NDErs. While his belief system is very traditional and centred in fundamentalist Christian sentiments, I feel that his heart is in earnest … and he’s reaching people in his own circles that may not otherwise have been exposed to the NDE and the power of healing through faith and prayer. This should be a very interesting show, so please do tune in. There’s something for everyone on Toward The Light!

Kimberly Wencl on Toward The Light 28.9!

Kimberly Wencl is a wife to Roger and mother to Elizabeth and Anna and has been employed by SPX Corporation in Owatonna, Minnesota for 34 years, working in purchasing, sales, and customer service. Her present position is in International customer service. She says she lives a very ordinary life and loves every minute of it.

She has always been interested and fascinated by psychic phenomenon, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and spirit communication. However, she had absolutely no personal experience with any of them.

That all changed on 20^th September, 2003, when her daughter, 20-year-old University of Minnesota student, Elizabeth Wencl, died from an early morning fire at her duplex just blocks from the University. Kim now shares the truly amazing journey through the devastating loss of her daughter. She shares the premonitions she received prior to Liz's death as well as the messages and signs she and others received from Liz after her death—ultimately leading her to Kathryn Harwig, an internationally-acclaimed author, teacher, trainer, attorney, intuitive and friend. Kathryn was able to bridge the gap between mother and daughter, and Kim’s life has been forever changed.

Kim will share her own personal journey to intuitive knowing and peace. In November 2005 she completed Kathryn's Intuitive Mastery Program, and since that time, her own intuitive abilities have continued to grow and get stronger. She now strives to incorporate this gift into her everyday life, to share her story, and to help others on their life journeys.

Kim's story is included in the book, True Stories of Messages From Beyond, by Julie Aydlott. It was released in July, 2007 and is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or the website: www.messages-from-beyond.com.

MaAnna Stephenson on Toward The Light 21.9!

MaAnna Stephenson ~ While currently known as a visionary thinker and new author, MaAnna Stephenson is a true Renaissance Woman. From an early age she was exposed to a myriad of influences, including her father's engineering and artistic endeavours, her maternal line of intuitives, and an intrinsic fascination with sound and music. Born in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee, MaAnna began her journey as the youngest of three children with a huge age gap between her siblings and herself. Constant inclusion in the world of adults led to an early maturity and perhaps a different view of the world than most children experience—especially with the special gifts of the adults in her family. None of it was lost on young MaAnna. "My mother was also an intuitive, as were all the women in my immediate family. Having psychic senses was quite normal and the information derived from these methods was respected and adhered to. I became accustomed quite early to the fact that there were things—forces and powers—which could not be measured with a ruler but were just as real as anything I could see or touch."

An additional gift was bestowed by her paternal grandmother—the gift of music. Time spent at the organ with her grandmother, who was well known for her passion for music, ignited a flame in MaAnna as well. By the time she was a teenager, she was already a multi-instrumentalist and composer, exploring sounds and techniques with special interest in how they affected listeners spiritually and emotionally. Her advanced education continued this line of exploration as she attended Jackson State Community College and Lambuth University concurrently, double majoring in Music and Acoustics with a special apprenticeship at a local recording studio as a sound engineer.

MaAnna transferred to Jackson Area Vocational and Technical School, acquiring a degree in Electronics. This led to a prestigious job offer and subsequent move to Dallas, Texas in 1984. She continued her work in sound engineering and music with several international hits to her credit. After a decade in the big city, she accepted a field assignment in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has resided since.

It was in Nashville that she began her writing career with a short story triggering what she calls 'soul memories'. In response to her experience, MaAnna began her self-education in the fields of technical, scientific and New-Age thought, exploring ancient mysticism and the rational sciences with equal emphasis. After a five-year preparation period, she was initiated as a Shamanka (feminine for shaman). Her training for this initiation further contributed to her education process as she continued her studies in reconciling the rational sciences and the intuitive arts. This process has culminated in the writing of the newly released The Sage Age – Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom.

While maintaining this intense pace, MaAnna has somehow found time to feed her inner artist, working in stained glass, wood carving and, of course, continuing to indulge her love of music. A member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, she considers herself a 'bridge builder' as well as an artist, composer, scholar and author. Her current focus on 'new models for new thought' is leading her to develop interactive classes that continue to explore the concepts in The Sage Age.

---

The Sage Age ~ Combining the knowledge of physics with intuitive practice is no small task. The two disciplines often use the same words to mean entirely different things. Written for the seeker with more than a casual interest, The Sage Age – Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom demystifies complex ideas with intelligent analogies and examples designed to appeal to both the scientist and the natural intuitive.

Four years in the writing, this expansive new work combines knowledge from the physical sciences and the intuitive arts to present a visionary perspective that harmonises these diverse disciplines into one body of knowledge.

With a well-researched approach to its subjects, The Sage Age covers a broad range of material from ancient to modern thought, frontier science and current intuitive practice to deliver a depth and breadth of understanding that culminates in a holistic perspective for our time.

Living up to its mantra of 'new models for new thought', The Sage Age is certain to be a catalyst for dialogue and is destined to be a major work in its field. Click image FMI.

MaAnna and I met at a Noetic Sciences meeting in Nashville a few years ago and have been friends ever since. Our dialogues are usually lengthy and always full and rich with meaning. It's amazing how I've watched her blossom and this brilliant book is just one stunning example of her creative genius and wisdom finally being granted the voice it truly deserves. I celebrate the recent publication of her book and I dare say, this lady is going places! Mark my words!

This will be a fantastic show. Join us! :)

Matthew Delooze on Toward The Light 14.9!

Matthew Delooze was abducted by aliens as a child. He has also had a near-death experience. His experiences then have led him to uncover evidence that we are ruled covertly by reptilian aliens. He has uncovered symbolism hidden in plain sight in our towns and cities, and in major events like Live 8 to support his ideas. Matthew's latest book relates the photographs he took at Dendera to what he calls The Serpent Cult—interdimensional aliens who are vampirising our spiritual energy for their own sinister ends. Matthew Delooze is calling for us, the human race, to free ourselves and reclaim our true spiritual legacy. Matthew was born in 1959 and lives with his wife and two grown-up children in Lancashire, UK (Juliet's birthplace!).

Matthew is the author of three books: The Stars Are Falling, You Will Be Wiser When You're Older and Is It Me For A Moment.

I am pleased to have Matthew back on Toward The Light, as he's been on a couple of times before. He’s going to share his NDE and the positive and not-so-positives aspects of the Afterlife from his own perspective gleaned from his experiences.

The Stars Are Falling ~ Since Matthew Delooze's encounters with interdimensional beings during his childhood, and a spiritual awakening in 1998, he has been directed by mysterious forces. In 2005 he found himself being guided to visit Egypt, specifically the Temple of Hathor at Dendera. The astonishing photographs he took there suggest that we were ruled then by a race of reptilian aliens. Matthew believes that those reptilian aliens, the Serpent Cult, still rule us today, using their human puppets to deceive us into surrendering our spiritual self-possession. He draws parallels between ancient Egyptian gods, the 'Live 8' concerts, monuments in our towns and cities and the imagery in the Pope's regalia to show us how. He also suggests how you, the reader, can awaken from your trance and reclaim your true spiritual legacy.

You Will Be Wiser When You're Older ~ 1965, Burnley, north-west England, Matthew Delooze was 6 years old. He was out playing, climbing over a wall when a bird caught his attention. Suddenly he found himself on a spacecraft talking to a beautiful woman. She told him that he had agreed to help save the world and when he objected that he was only a little boy, she told him, "You will be wiser when you're older." She showed him horrific vivid images of earth's future on a large screen, floods and destruction, dead bodies of children and old people. There would be people burning in fires and then people being shot and blown up, starving children and animals being butchered. He was then returned to earth. This was just the beginning. This is Matthew's story in his own words.

Click Image FMI

Is It Me For A Moment? ~ Matthew Delooze carries on from where he left off in The Stars are Falling. This time he is spiritually directed to The Street of the Knights, which is located on the ancient island of Rodos (Rhodes) to gather more information about the Serpent Cult’s hypnotic grip over the human race. Matthew Delooze asks “Who are you? Do you think you are living in a free world? Do you show the world your true self or do you put on an act and project a false, socially accepted, personality to the outside world? Is it really you that is freely presented openly to this world or do you present a manufactured clone in your place instead?” Matthew Delooze claims it is time to ‘Break the Serpent’s Spell.’ Do not read this book if you are content in your life or you believe the establishments version of religion. Your life will never be the same again. You have been warned.

Paul Elder on Toward The Light 7 September!

Paul Elder has spent a lifetime studying human nature from a unique perspective. He is a survivor of three near-death experiences: a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41.

Along with the trauma and subsequent beauty of death came a series of spontaneous spiritual events—events that would rock his world—turning his belief system upside down, and leaving him with some profound insights as to our true nature and purpose in the universe.

After spending nearly a decade as a radio and television news reporter, Elder ventured into a career of politics and business spanning more than 20 years. Forever grateful for his near-death experiences, his spiritual insights helped to mould and deeply influence his approach to politics, business, and life.

A trainer for the world-famous Monroe Institute, Paul lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and spends his time writing, teaching, and speaking throughout the United States and Canada on the phenomenon of near-death and out-of-body experiences.

Eyes of an Angel ~ Recent surveys reveal that more than twenty million people in North America have survived a near-death experience. That’s an incredibly large number of people who have lived through a life-changing event. Remarkably, it is also estimated that as many as three times that number have experienced a mystical or spiritual encounter.

Eyes of an Angel carries a compelling message that these people and their families yearn to hear. Indeed, it is a message the whole world needs to hear.

Eyes of an Angel is an amazing, true account of Soul Travel, Angels, Spirit Guides, Soul Mates, and the Reality of Love. Written in a compelling, easy-to-read style, it conveys a unique and fascinating story. Not only will it appeal to those who are believers in the spiritual and paranormal, but also to the general population who want to believe that these things are true.

A former television news reporter and mayor of a Canadian city, Paul Elder is a survivor of three near-death experiences — a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41. A previously avowed sceptic, Elder found, to his dismay, that his near-death encounters had opened within him a psychic doorway to the spirit world — a doorway he has been able to return through, time and time again. With the assistance of angels and spirit guides, he was systematically led through a series of stunning revelations. From reunions with departed souls to the discovery of soul mates and past lives, his re-education left him with incredible insights as to our true nature and purpose in the universe.

Eyes of an Angel is the true story of a mainstream politician who could not openly share or discuss the profound, spiritual experiences changing his perspective on life. Integrating near-death and out-of-body experiences in a way that has never been done before, Elder’s story will encourage readers to truly listen to their own intuition and guidance, striving to live from their heart centres, rather than just from their heads. A book of hope and courage, it can instantly change millions of lives. It will give readers of books like Conversations With God inspiration to create their own dialogue with their own spirit guides and God.

Unlike any other book on the market, Eyes of an Angel offers a gripping first hand account of a remarkable spiritual adventure. Its story will keep you spellbound, while its message resonates deep within your soul. Click image FMI.

Chris Everard on Toward The Light 31.8!

Chris Everard ~ Chris started his own film production organisation five years ago and has made the world’s only series of made-for-cinema political documentaries. It is the first non-fiction film series to go to FOUR volumes. THE ILLUMINATI series of films have changed people’s lives. Tens of thousands of copies are shipped all over the world. There is not a country on the face of planet earth which does not have a customer of his. And that includes Iraq, Syria, Jordan and other places which George Bush has bombed. In fact American Military personnel are some of his biggest fans!

His films are the most commonly watched films on Google Video and YouTube. In fact, illegal foreign translations of the films are watched by thousands of people every day. The films are also the most commonly pirated films on Ebay.

Chris was the first person to broadcast leaked audio and video clips of NASA astronauts discussing UFOs. His series of films about the secret space programme are the biggest selling films of their kind and the only UFO feature-length documentaries to play to cinema audiences in Europe. Consequently, he has upset the bosses of NASA even though two astronauts told him that his films were passed around amongst space shuttle crews on a weekly basis!

In 2007, Chris made Spirit World, the first and only feature-length made-for-cinema documentary about life after death. It exposed for the first time the highest rituals and magical ceremonies of many secret societies. It was the first film to ever prove that the inventor of Television, John Logie Baird, actually stumbled across his invention due to experiments with psychic mediums and cathode ray tubes...

Please click on image for more detailed information about Chris and his fine body of work.

He's produced some powerful films—some of which feature David Icke. These include Spirit World, Secret Space, Lady Die and more. We will be discussing the findings revealed in Spirit World—a feature-length documentary exposing the techniques of spirit communication used by psychics, shamans and scientists throughout the ages.

Jerry Wennstrom on Toward The Light 24.8!

Jerry Wennstrom ~ Artist, author Jerry Wennstrom was born in New York on January 13, 1950. He attended Rockland Community College and the State University of New Paltz. After producing a large body of work, at age 29 he set out to discover the rock-bottom truth of his life. For years he questioned the limits of his creative life as a studio painter. After destroying all of his art and giving away everything he owned, Jerry began a life of unconditional trust, allowing life to provide all that was needed. He lived this way for 15 years. In 1998 he moved to Washington State, where he eventually married Marilyn Strong and produced a large new body of art. Marilyn and Jerry’s charming Whidbey Island home is now filled with his unique interactive sculptures and paintings. Jerry also built a 40-foot meditation tower on his property, which is featured along with his story in a book by Laura Chester called Holy Personal.

Jerry's story is told in his book, The Inspired Heart: An Artist’s Journey of Transformation (foreword by Thomas Moore) published by Sentient Publications and in the Parabola Magazine documentary film called In the Hands of Alchemy: The Art and Life of Jerry Wennstrom.

Jen-Irishu on Toward The Light 17.8!

Jen-Irishu ~ Hello, my name is Jen-Irishu, which means Rainbow Bridge to God. (Iris means rainbow bridge and Hu is God).

From as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by 'why are we here?'. What is our purpose? I can recall asking my mother, 'if God made the world, who made God?' 'Blind faith, Jen', my mother replied.

As I approached my forties, after a broken marriage, my psychic abilities began to escalate. Fortunately for me I landed a position working in a Medical Clinic as a receptionist, where all of the girls who also worked there were spiritually gifted in many areas, such as Reiki, massage, meditation and yoga.

Wow! I had come home. All of those questions that I had been searching for were in one or other of their book shelves. I became a sponge. Yet, as I read, something in me knew what I was reading about. It was a 'knowing' like no other that I had ever experienced before. Yes, I had come home.

So began my Spiritual journey. Before I knew it I was doing Tarot readings. That wasn't enough for me, I then began my healing technique that I call 'Rainbow healing form the heart'. You can read about this in my book Messages of Love: My Spiritual Awakening.

I now travel the countryside, sharing my amazing story, leading workshops, giving hands-on healing, radio and television appearances and I am available as a guest speaker. What an incredible life I have!

I believe that we all have the ability to receive ALL the guidance and healing that we require, by trusting and having the faith to listen to that 'still small voice within' that gently guides us down our yellow brick road that we call life.

After the passing of my 'other wing', as devastating as it was, I have been fortunate enough to be given a glimpse of what life is like on 'the Other Side' thanks to my love whom I call 'The Boy'. I now understand that he died so that I may live, truly live in the real sense, so that I can help YOU to heal YOUR hearts.

I am available on line to assist you with Spiritual Counselling. I am also going to offer to you the gift of global group healing.
