Join us Wednesday August 10, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt – Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs” presented by Jim Patterson.

In this 60-minute DVD Christopher Dunn presents a stunning stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statue of Ramses II at Luxor and the fallen crowns that lay at its feet.  His modern day engineering expertise provides a unique view into the sophisticated technology used to create these famous ancient monuments.

Using modern digital photography, computer-aided design software, and metrology instruments, Dunn  exposes the extreme precision of these monuments and the type of advanced manufacturing expertise necessary to produce them.  His examination of the mysterious underground tunnels and stone boxes of the Serapeum illuminates the finest examples of precision engineering on the planet.  He also addresses the shortcomings of the orthodox explanation for the quarrying of obelisks, particularly the gargantuan ‘Unfinished Obelisk.’

Providing never-before-seen evidence, Dunn’s research shows that while absent from the archaeological record, highly refined tools, techniques, and even mega-machines must have been used in Egypt.

Most all of us have a sense that there is something more than just our physical presence in this world, that something within us has the possibility of existing after our physical body ceases to exist.  This sense and the desire to assure the reality of this possibility has been the subject of religions and teachings for thousands of years.

The Four Body System is an ancient teaching that predates the Babylonians 4500 years ago.  It is brought to modern times through Buddhist, Vedic, Hermetic, Theosophy, Esoteric Christianity and Fourth Way schools. The four bodies are called “physical, astral, mental and causal” or “carnal, emotional, mental and divine” or they could be called “physical, astral/desire, mental/will and karmic/heavenly”.

After examining all the different teachings, a chicken-and-egg problem arises.  Does the carnal body exist first and through certain practices in one’s life the other bodies are nurtured and developed, or does the karmic body exist first and through the laws of Karma, the physical body exists through a lifetime to fulfill certain karmic requirements?

Harold Cottrell, a lifelong Seeker of Truth, explores this chicken-and-egg question by starting with defining a six-dimensional universe that is consistent with modern physics and gives us a basis for answering the question, “Where are these bodies?”  But that is not enough to solve the problem.  We need to use principles of Quantum Physics to arrive at a cosmology where the possibility of a four body system is real.

Harold Cottrell has a Masters in Mathematics, a former professional Ballroom Dancer, farmer, naturalist,  Seeker of Truth and author of the book, “Just One Generation: Repairing the Past, Learning from the Future”.

Harold is from Hart County Kentucky and has lived in Lexington for 35 years.  Currently Harold lives in Louisville with his companion Dona Marcia

Join us Wednesday May 25, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Exploring Past Life Regression” presented by Lorena Peter, PhD.

Have you ever met people whom you instantly liked or disliked? Do you sometimes react strangely and strongly to new situations or to things that should not have an emotional content? Do you have physical symptoms without obvious cause? Do you have strange dreams about an everyday life that isn’t yours?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be experiencing influences from some past life. The concept of Reincarnation also answers questions about where you go after passing from this life. What is the meaning of life?

Last week we discussed paradigm shifts. This session will be about a specific paradigm shift in exploring beliefs held by ancient civilizations. After a short presentation, you will be led through a regression to visit one of your own lives from long ago. As they say, seeing is believing.

Join us Wednesday April 27, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Otherworld: Places of Initiation and Living Resurrection” presented by John Pickard.

What if the concept of resurrection perpetuated by the Church is a fraud? That it was once a level of initiation performed in secret Mysteries schools around the world, thousands of years before Christ?

That a suppressed gospel describes it as something to be experienced by the living, not the dead? That it involves an out-of-body journey to the Otherworld and back? That prominent scholars and initiates like Socrates and Plato described it as the pinnacle of a person’s spiritual development? And that the places where this life-changing adventure is possible are all around us?

Join us Wednesday April 13, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “The John Searl Story” presented by Jim Patterson.

John Searl claims he has the solution to our global energy crisis. What’s more, he says he’s had it for over 60 years. Regarded by many as The Godfather of free energy science, John Searl believes his magnetic generator, the Searl Effect Generator, can save our planet from environmental disaster. So, what if he’s telling the truth?

The John Searl Story explores this question, as we chronicle the life of arguably the most controversial inventor of the last hundred years. From the childhood dreams that led to his theorem The Law of the Squares, to the mystery tests of his UFO-like levity discs. We analyze Searl Effect technology, hear from believers and from the skeptics, and investigate today’s effort to reconstruct John Searl’s contentious generator.

Does John Searl have the answer to our global energy crisis? This is his life and his machine in his own words. Hear his case and you decide.

Join us Wednesday March 23, 2016 at 6:30 PM for “Experiencers with John E Mack” presented by John Pickard.

A documentary by Stephane Allix about Alien Abductions features several experiencers who had worked with Dr. John E. Mack Harvard Psychologist who appears only briefly in this film, his death having occurred soon after production began.

More substantial are visits to the New England countryside with experiencers, including one couple who videotaped an unidentified flying object hovering above a lake a few hours before they were abducted from their lakeside cottage. Also in this film, is the New York artist and alien encounter investigator Budd Hopkins.

Although this documentary is similar to other documentaries commonly seen on American cable television, it has a more leisurely pace and gives more time for the experiencers to explain themselves than is commonly granted in US productions. One of the best interviews in the program is not with an experiencer at all, but rather with the husband of an experiencer, who matter-of-factly explains how his family has come to terms with his wife’s experiences.

John E. Mack Institute: http://johnemackinstitute.org/

John Edward Mack M.D. (October 4, 1929 — September 27, 2004) was an American psychiatrist, writer, and professor at Harvard Medical School. He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, and a leading authority on the spiritual or transformational effects of alleged alien abduction experiences.

Mack had a world view inspired by elements of spiritual and philosophical traditions which hold that people are all connected to one another; this theme of “connection” was taken to a controversial extreme in the early 1990s when Mack commenced his decade-plus study of 200 men and women who reported recurrent alien encounter experiences. Such encounters had seen some limited attention from academic figures (R. Leo Sprinkle perhaps being the earliest, in the 1960s). Mack, however, remains probably the most esteemed academic to have studied the subject
