New Movie: ‘Cloud Atlas’ (Updated)
Apr 30
“Cloud Atlas” explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Written and directed by Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Andy Wachowski, the film is based on the 2004 novel of the same name by David Mitchell. With an ensemble cast to cover the film’s multiple storylines, production began in September 2011 at Studio Babelsberg in Germany. The film is scheduled to be released on October 26, 2012. Mitchell’s novel won the British Book Awards Literary Fiction Award and the Richard & Judy Book of the Year award, and was short-listed for the 2004 Booker Prize, Nebula Award, Arthur C. Clarke Award, and other awards…

New Book: ‘Science and the Afterlife Experience’
Oct 21
Just how strong is the case for the survival of consciousness beyond death? You may never get a better answer to that question than in the pages of Chris Carter’s Science and the Afterlife Experience, the concluding volume of his masterful trilogy on science and the paranormal. The first two books — Science and Psychic Phenomena and Science and the Near-Death Experience — had been important books for me, so I eagerly awaited this third book. The book is organized around three major lines of evidence: the apparent past-life memories of children, apparitions, and purported messages from the dead through mediums. With each of these three lines, Carter first presents a series of well-researched and well-documented cases. These cases are an education in themselves. They are so impressive that I found many of them stretching my view of what is possible…

Hank Wesselman, Modern Shaman

Anita Moorjani & Wayne Dyer On The Aware Show
Mar 14
Best-selling author and teacher Wayne Dyer joins Anita Moorjani to discuss her miraculous recovery from cancer and many other thought-provoking subjects. Topics include: what it’s like on the other side of life, how to enter the deeper state of consciousness that permeates all life, past lives, parallel universes, and multi-dimensional realities, how past lives (and future lives) are all happening right now, how every possibility exists right now — including miraculous healings — and you can switch from one reality to another by understanding this, how we are all God, how we have become a culture that is pathologically fearful, how there is too much fear around cancer (and illnesses in general), how cancer (and other illnesses) can arise out of our body’s attempt to heal itself and should be welcomed as such, how Wayne Dyer has dealt with his leukemia, the importance of being ourselves and living life fearlessly, how to practically apply the information discussed in this interview…

Documentary: ‘In Another Life: Reincarnation In America’
Jan 30
“In Another Life” explores how Americans are encountering the real phenomenon of reincarnation, in a society which refuses to acknowledge its existence. It was produced with very little funding, and developed by networking primarily through the internet, beginning in 1997 at a time when the internet was just starting to be used this way. A less-polished version of what you see here was broadcast on KBDI in Denver, Colorado in 2003. In Another Life is totally unlike most commercial treatments of the subject, inasmuch as it does not conform to the “theme park ride” formula of presenting intriguing cases and thus making the viewer nervous; shooting the cases down with humanistic skeptics; and then safely concluding that it’s probably not real, but we can never know for sure. This program shows that it’s real, and then shows real people discovering it in various ways despite society’s denial…

Children’s Memories Of Previous Lives
Jul 09
IONS Senior Scientist Dean Radin talks with Jim Tucker, associate professor of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences at the University of Virginia who also works in the Department of Perceptual Studies, started by Ian Stevenson in 1967. Stevenson was a psychiatrist best known for his studies on reincarnation with children; Tucker has been continuing the work that Stevenson began. His most recent book is Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children’s Memories of Previous Lives. In it he challenges the notion that consciousness is only the result of a functioning brain and suggests that consciousness can be considered separately from the brain, which provides a basis for claims of reincarnation…
