Lisa Williams continues to surprise people with her ability to speak with the dead. In some cases she'll transform the lives of the people she meets who are seeking to connect with their dearly departed. Throughout her series on Lifetime TV, Williams shares stories of people wanting to be reunited with someone from their past, while offering personal observations and insights.

Transforming the face of psychiatry, Dr. Judith Orloff asserts that we are keepers of an innate intuitive intelligence so perceptive that it can tell us how to heal—and prevent—illness. Yet intuition and spirituality are the very aspects of our wisdom usually disenfranchised from traditional health care.

As a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at UCLA, Dr. Orloff exhibits great courage in drawing upon her own intuitive abilities, evident to her since childhood. Her struggles acknowledging and then finally embracing her gift of heightened intuition are chronicled in Second Sight. Her second book, Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing shows how breakthroughs in healing our body, emotions, and sexuality are accomplished by listening to intuition. Her latest book Positive Energy completes a trilogy of books around awakening intuition and subtle energy. Positive Energy takes a probing look at the epidemic of exhaustion in America and how we can reverse it using specific strategies to build energy and combat draining people. Positive Energy is a national and Los Angeles Times bestseller which as been translated into 23 languages.

First came the books, The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight, then the movie... "Based on James Redfield's worldwide best-selling novel, The Celestine Prophecy is a spiritual adventure film chronicling the discovery of ancient scrolls in the rainforests of Peru. The prophecy and its nine key insights predict a worldwide awakening, arising within all religious traditions, that moves humanity toward a deeper experience of spirituality".

Now comes CELESTINE VISION... "THE ELEVENTH INSIGHT-EXTENDING PRAYER FIELDS"

James and Salle Redfield are taking the spiritual experience to a deeper level. As they describe this insight, "Feel the Energy, as people gather from all around the world, connect together, and envision a better world. Something special happens when we are connected electronically via telephones and internet. We can literally feel the boost and clarity of everyone's intention".

"Our twice-monthly gatherings have been making a powerful difference, both in people's individual lives and the world at large. Many of you have written us saying that the energy generated from this network of spiritually-minded participants is "indescribable," and we look forward to continuing this healing circle of focused prayer. Like all prayer experience devoted to helping others, many participants have felt the results in their own bodies and received guidance for their own lives".

"Research tells us that the more people praying together, the more powerful the prayer and the greater the level of energy felt by the participants. We invite you to join the largest regular prayer network in the world. If you would like to take an active role in maintaining a circle of positive intention across the globe, while going deeper and heightening your own spirituality, join us".

Kala discuss the "work" with Byron Katie. The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question the stressful thoughts that cause all the suffering in the world. It's a way to understand what's hurting you, a way to end all your stress and suffering. People who do The Work faithfully report life-changing results including: Eliminate stress: Live without anxiety or fear, Improve relationships: Have a new sense of connection and intimacy with your spouse, your parents, your children, and with yourself, Reduce anger, See perfection in situations that were once debilitating, Act more intelligently and effectively, Energy: Experience a new sense of vigor and well-being and Peace: Learn how to love what is, and find lasting inner peace.

More About Byron Katie:
Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry called The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves— radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen and paper and an open mind.

Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and eliminate it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free. Katie is the author of three bestselling books Loving What Is, I Need Your Love—Is That True? and the recently published A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are.

The power of life is... dying eventually!

The first film in the Staya Erusa series was the pilot Staya Erusa - The Beginning. This film was released in 2006 (only in the Netherlands) and was a big hit in the Dutch art houses, both in numbers of visitors, as in the feedback that we received afterwards. Many appeared to have been touched by the insights; people that were completely new to this matter, but also people that are well up in this subject. Staya Erusa was worldwide the first film ever to be launched simultaneously via three media: in cinema’s, on DVD and on the Internet.

Together we will change the world

The second Notion Picture Staya Erusa - Find the Book of Knowledge was released for the world’s audience summer 2007. Prominent scientists and bestselling authors contributed to the film, because just like we, they realize that it takes a paradigm shift to increase Mankind’s consciousness. Together with us, they want to make this reality more accessible.

Staya Erusa: a mission revealed by ‘metallic voices’

When Uri Geller stupified the world with his powers 35 years ago, that rapidly made him famous. He was invited to the farthest places, visited courts, talked with government officials. Also scientists were intrigued, but even the most prestigious laboratories studying Geller, could not explain his talents. The new film Staya Erusa - Find the Book of Knowledge describes what happened in those days and reveals the answers. Its makers, Harry Beckers, Ronald Jan Heijn and Uri Geller, call it ‘a mission which scope and reach only now is becoming clear’, but which was revealed already back in 1973 by mysterious ‘metallic voices’.

The film explains the world’s challenges

Ronald Jan Heijn: “Words such as power, money, war, will get a different meaning, after seeing the film. The film explains the world’s challenges and offers solutions through literally a broader way of thinking. This broader way of thinking is obtained by explaining consciousness itself. The true understanding of consciousness puts issues such as euthanasia, reincarnation, but also global warming and Uri Geller’s talents in a completely different perspective.”

In October, paranormalist Uri Geller stars in the new NBC Television Series Phenomenon, a live competition series that leads the search for the next great mentalist. This show will actually serve as an introduction of the London-based Geller to a younger generation of TV viewers in the US as well as a reintroduction to an older American public. Geller, who was noted for the many paranormal events which took place around him, including his ability to bend spoons with his mind, was world-famous in the 70's and 80's and considered by science to be an astonishing as well as puzzling enigma. The media attention surrounding Phenomenon will undoubtedly cast enormous interest in another fascinating project Geller is involved with, which concentrates on a larger reality: Staya Erusa Find the Book of Knowledge.

Kala speaks with Z. Budapest, author of The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries, a seminal text that contains invaluable information on Dianic witchcraft and spells, including everyday magick, sabbat rituals, and divination methods; a section on how vegetarian theories and politics relate to witchcraft and the feminine aspect; and a good deal of information on goddesses and how the patriarchal religions distorted old myths to serve their own needs. There are several unique and beautiful Rites of Passage for women and men that you don't often find, and Budapest's personal life stories are an equally valuable read, from her escape across the mountains from Communist Hungary to her fight for women's religious freedom upon moving to America.

More About Z Budapest:
Zsuzsanna Emese Budapest was born in Budapest, Hungary, during a big winter storm on January 30, 1940. Her mother, Masika Szilagyi, was a medium and a practicing witch who supported herself and her daughter with her art, as a sculptress. Masika's themes always celebrated the Triple Goddess and the Fates, and Zsuzsanna, "Z," grew up respecting and appreciating Mother Nature as a god. The poverty of postwar Europe and political oppression under the Russian occupation made Z fiercely political, so when the Hungarian Revolution broke out in 1956, she took her destiny into her own hands and became one of those sixty-five thousand political refugees who left the country, mostly young workers and students like herself. She finished high school in Innsbruck, graduated from a bilingual gymnasium, and won a scholarship to the University of Vienna where she studied languages.

Z emigrated to the United States in 1959, became a student at the University of Chicago, married, and gave birth to two sons. Her family's spiritual tradition, however, started seeping back into her life, and she practiced solo worship of the Goddess at her home altar in her backyard. When she entered her Saturn cycle at the age of thirty, she became involved with the women's liberation movement in Los Angeles and became an activist herself, staffing the Women's Center there for many years. There she recognized a need for a spiritual dimension so far lacking in the feminist movement and started the Women's Spirituality Movement. She founded the Susan B. Anthony Coven Number l, the first feminist witches' coven, which became the role model for thousands of other spiritual groups being born and spreading across the nation. She wrote The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries (Weiser Publishers, 1989) which was originally published in 1975 as The Feminist Book of Lights and Shadows. This book served as the first hands-on book to lead women into their own spiritual/Goddess heritage. Z was arrested in 1975 for reading Tarot cards to an undercover policewoman. She lost the trial but won the issue, and the law against psychics was struck down nine years later. Z has led rituals, lectured, taught classes, given workshops, written articles tirelessly, and published in hundreds of women's newspapers across the country. She has powerfully influenced many of the future teachers and writers about the Goddess. She is the star of her own cable TV show called 13th Heaven and acts as the director of the Women's Spirituality Forum, a nonprofit organization sponsoring a monthly lecture series in the Bay Area about the Goddess, spirituality retreats, and annual spiral dances on Halloween. Z founded and sponsors the Dianic University Online, a vagina-friendly online school for Dianic Wicca and Goddess studies for women. More info: www.zbudapest.com

Becoming Psychic provides a lively dialogue between a clinical psychologist who believes that he has had a number of psychic (or "paranormal") experiences and a research psychologist and parapsychologist who attempts to put these reports in a scientific framework. The anecdotes make for fascinating reading and the scientific responses are relayed in a reader-friendly manner. Readers who have had similar experiences can begin to understand their own glimpses of future events, remarkable recoveries from major or minor illnesses, or knowledge of what is happening to a loved one hundreds of miles away.

Paul Von Ward, author of Our Solarian Legacy, writes in the Introduction: "Becoming Psychic is a book for everyone who seeks meaning among the non-ordinary experiences of life. Telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, precognition, mind/body healing, prayer, and synchronicity are all illustrated in personal terms by Dr. Kierulff and placed in scientific context by Stanley Krippner-a successful merging of the perspectives of the experiencer and the scientist."

One of the most mysterious artifacts that has been discovered upon our planet are known as the Crystal Skulls. A Crystal Skull is simply defined as an ancient artifact discovered made from various type of quartz crystals that has the appearance of a human size (or larger) and shaped skull. Most of these ancient Crystal Skulls have been uncovered near or within ancient ruins located in Mexico or Central America, possibly linked to the Mesoamerican cultures of this region. However within recent years, crystal skulls are now surfacing or being reported in other parts of the world such as in South America, Europe and Asia. Kala speaks with Joshua Shapiro about the history of the crystal skulls and the research being done currently.

In 1993, building on years of laboratory experiments, Dr. Roger Nelson began using random event generator technology in the field to register correlations of data with special states of group consciousness. This work led to the world-spanning GCP network, designed to look for indications of a global consciousness responding to major world events like destructive earthquakes, the beginnings of war or terror attacks like 9/11, as well as worldwide holidays and celebrations like New Years Eve. After several years of purely scientific focus, with careful research yielding increasingly persuasive evidence, Dr. Nelson has begun to make public presentations about the GCP. The findings imply that we can be creative participants in determining our future, and that we have the capacity and responsibility for conscious evolution. Dr. Nelson is the upcoming president of the international Parapsychology Association.

Kala speaks with Don Miguel Ruiz about the power of the Divine Feminine. Don Miguel's mother, Sara Macias Vasquez ("Mother Sarita"), gifted healer, recently passed away at the age of 98. "Mother Sarita", was widely recognized as a powerful, gifted faith healer. Raised in rural Mexico, she learned ancient Toltec wisdom from her shaman grandfather, and passed this wisdom on to her son, author don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements). In 2007, Mother Sarita was inducted into The San Diego Women’s Hall of Fame for her contributions to healing and teaching, and for her role as an influential mentor. Her message Si se puede, “Yes, it’s possible” was an inspiration to many. Her courageous and loving spirit will be greatly missed.

Faery Seership the truths we seek can only be found within ourselves, within nature, and within our relationships to nature. At the center of the Faery Tradition lies the Tree of Enchantment: the symbol for these relationships and for the threefold life of humanity. At each level of the tree, there are attending spirit forces that vary from beings of light to beings of shadow, from the ancestors of humanity to the architects of form and nature, from the destiny of our planet to the creation forces of the universe. The tree’s roots grow through the lower world, where all life originates and the dead travel, its trunk and lower branches reach out across the middle world, where elemental forces and the four directions guide us, and its highest branches reach the into the upper world and the Star realm.

Kala speaks with Orion Foxwood, who shares folk tradition and extensive academic research into the Old Religion of Faery Seership. Based on Appalachian traditions, Wiccan studies, Celtic oral traditions, and the Craft from Western and Northern Europe, The Tree of Enchantment (Weiser Books, October 2008) offers the student of Faery Tradition both introductory and advanced visionary practices and authentic tools to learn to navigate the three realms of humanity. With diligence and an open heart, the reader will learn to cross The River of Blood, pass through The Gate of Awakening, and over The River of Stars.

Kala speaks with Marguerite Manning about her book: Cosmic Karma: Understanding Your Contract With The Universe, a spiritual guide to true self-awareness because it’s an astrological self-help book for the soul. By teaching you to study your birth chart in the same way ancient astronomers believed it should be studied - as a universal birth map of your soul's chosen energies for this lifetime – this book compels you to discover the most empowering universal secret of all: your birth energies only reflect your ability to be great and shine bright in this lifetime because they’re actually a celestial documentation of your soul’s promise to aim higher and do better than it did in the last one. In short, your birth chart is your soul’s Contract with the Universe. It can’t help but reveal where you’re destined to succeed in the material world because it illuminates your soul’s promise to evolve in the spiritual one. Who knew? Certainly not us, and that’s our dilemma. We humans have no conscious memory of our unconscious past. Who then, is responsible for keeping this contract? Certainly us, and that’s our even bigger dilemma. Learn why your Sun sign was critical to your soul’s growth yesterday, and why your Sun house is pivotal to yours today. Better yet, learn how to finally stop avoiding Saturn's depressing karmic classroom; accepting Neptune's blue-green invitation to the Twilight Zone and leaving hair-trigger Pluto alone in the complaint department. After all, you can’t ignore your soul’s commitments to the cosmos and then wonder why life won’t sparkle, love won’t sizzle and you won’t dazzle. Your destiny is waiting.

Kala speaks with Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell, Founding Minister and CEO of the Unity Center in San Diego. Rev. Wendy with the Unity School of Christianity and the Association of Unity Churches is presenting a six-part webcast series entitled Jesus and the Awakening to God-Consciousness on www.unity.fm that explores this controversial yet expansive view of Jesus and his teachings in conversations with Deepak Chopra. Each segment will be available free of charge. A recent Pew Forum found 68 percent of adult Americans believe there's more than one true way to interpret the teachings of their religion. "If they knew there was a path like Unity's," speculates Craig-Purcell, "vast numbers would be surprised and delighted. The Unity movement, founded in 1889 by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in their Kansas City living rom, has taught and practiced an expansive, inclusive, and universal understanding of Jesus' teachings for nearly 120 years. According to Paula Coppel, vice president of Communications at Unity School of Christianity in Unity Village, MO, “It was the enlightened state that Jesus was both demonstrating and teaching. This Web series contends that Jesus was not trying to start a new religion, nor was he aiming his teachings at some people and not others. He was pointing the way for all of us to experience the awakening that he himself had experienced.” This is an important and liberating perspective. "We’re not trying to change anyone’s mind or beliefs. We’re just offering an alternative view," says Coppel. "We understand that this material is controversial and will probably upset some viewers," says Craig-Purcell. “But Jesus, after all, was controversial himself and radical in his time, so we are in good company." We urge you to let your audience know about this groundbreaking media event.

Kala speaks with astronaut Edgar Mitchell. In his book, The Way of the Explorer, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and the founder of Noetic Sciences, traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Mitchell is a brilliant and intriguing man who turned his attention to the nature of consciousness. Explore the realms of space and time...

More About Dr. Edgar Mitchell:
On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. The Apollo 14 mission was NASA's third manned lunar landing. This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come.

As he hurtled earthward through the abyss between the two worlds, Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation "a sense of universal connectedness." He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.

Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell's extraordinary career personifies humankind's eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as its inner soul.

His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University, a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. In addition he has received honorary doctorates in engineering from New Mexico State University, the University of Akron, Carnegie Mellon University and a ScD from Embry-Riddle University.

Dr. Mitchell has received many awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the USN Distinguished Medal and three NASA Group Achievement Awards. He was inducted to the Space Hall of Fame in 1979 and the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1998. He was a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.

After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality. In 1984, he was a co-founder of the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of those who have experienced space travel.

He is the author of "Psychic Exploration," 1974, "The Way of the Explorer," 1996, (Third edition, 2006) as well as dozens of articles in both professional and popular periodicals. He has devoted the last 35 years to studying human consciousness and psychic and paranormal phenomena in the search for a common ground between science and spirit.

More About Don Miguel Ruiz...
Born into a family of healers, Don Miguel Ruiz was raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon.
A near-death experience changed his life. Late one night in the early 1970s, he awoke suddenly, having fallen asleep at the wheel of his car. At that moment the car crashed into a wall of concrete. He remembers that he was not in his physical body as he watched himself pull his two friends to safety. Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. For more than two decades, Don Miguel Ruiz has worked to impart this wisdom to his students through lectures, workshops, and journeys to sacred sites around the world.

The Rhine Research Center is pleased to present Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson from the University of Iceland, who will be lecturing on: “EMPIRICAL INQUIRY INTO CASES OF CHILDREN WHO CLAIM TO REMEMBER A PAST LIFE”. Professor Haraldsson will present some cases from Lebanon, Sri Lanka, and Iceland, and describe how they were investigated, their characteristics, and give an overview of the major findings in this area of research. He has published many papers on this subject and is author of five books. He has investigated numerous cases of children who claim to remember a previous life, particularly in Sri Lanka and Lebanon. His investigations have centered on the question of whether statements made by these children can be verified and if some person can be found that fits the description made by the children, as well as examining psychological, religious and cultural explanations for this phenomenon.
