Magdalene’s Lost Legacy with Margaret Starbird

December 25th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Margaret Starbird about her book – Magdalene’s Lost Legacy: Symbolic Numbers and Sacred Union in Christianity. Margaret decodes the symbolic numbers embedded in the original Greek phrases of the New Testament-revealing the powerful presence of the feminine divine. The New Testament contains wide use of gematria, a literary device that allows the sums of certain phrases to produce sacred numbers. Exploring the hidden meanings behind these numbers, Starbird reveals that the union between Jesus and his bride, Mary Magdalene, formed a sacred partnership that was the cornerstone of the earliest Christian community. Magdalene’s Lost Legacy demonstrates how the crucial teaching of the sacred marriage that unites masculine and feminine principles-the heiros gamos-is the partnership model for life on our planet and the ultimate blueprint for civilization. Starbird’s research challenges the concept that Christ was celibate and establishes Mary Magdalene as the human incarnation of the sacred bride. The author also explains the true meaning of the “666″ prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Through this potent reclaiming of the lost legacy of Mary Magdalene, Margaret Starbird offers the opportunity to restore the divine feminine to her rightful role as bride, beloved, and sacred partner.

Quantum Physics and the Fifth Dimension with Dr. Marc Seifer

December 18th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Dr. Marc Seifer about his book: Transcending the Speed of Light: Consciousness, Quantum Physics and the Fifth Dimension. Dr. Seifer shares his study of the new scientific understanding of consciousness and the mind as a fifth dimension of reality, including the existence of a fifth dimension–one of mind–an inner- or hyperspace where time is transcended and shows how the barrier of the speed of light is actually a gateway demarking the fifth dimension. Since the introduction of Descartes’ dualism in the seventeenth century, the mind and the physical world have been viewed as disconnected entities. Yet qualities of mind such as awareness, purposeful action, organization, design, and even decision-making are present within the structure of matter and within the dimensions of space and time. The space-time continuum of scientists generally ignores the realm of the mind, though phenomena such as imaginary numbers, used by Einstein to combine space with time, are concepts that only exist in the mind. Marc Seifer contends that the inadequacy of four-dimensional models to account for our experience of mental phenomena points to the consciousness of the mind as a higher organizing principle, a fifth dimension where thoughts are as real and quantifiable as our familiar physical world. He shows that because thought enables us to move backward and forward through time–reflecting on the past and making plans for the future–this fifth dimension of mind breaks the laws of relativity, thereby transcending the speed of light. His extensive study of this fifth dimension ranges from relativity and ether theory to precognition, telepathy, and synchronicity, all from the perspective of the conscious universe.

Western Sexual Mysticism with Arthur Versluis

December 11th, 2009 | Author:
Beginning with the ancient Greek Mystery traditions, Gnosticism, and the practices in early Christianity, Arthur Versluis uncovers the secret line of Western sexual mysticism that, like the Tantra of the East, seeks transcendence or union with God through sexual practices. Throughout antiquity, and right into the present day, sexuality has played an important, if largely hidden, role in religious traditions and practices. This includes not only Christian but also kabbalistic and hermetic alchemical currents of sexual mysticism, many discussed together here for the first time. In the Mystery tradition of hieros gamos (sacred marriage) and the Gnostic tradition of spiritual marriage, we see the possibility of divine union in which sexual union is the principal sign or symbol. Key to these practices is the inner or archetypal union of above and below, the intermingling of the revelatory divine world with the mundane earthly one. Versluis shows that these secret currents of sexual mysticism helped fuel the rise of the troubadours and their erotic doctrine, the esoteric teachings of Jacob Böhme in the late 16th century, the 19th-century utopian communities of John Humphrey Noyes and Thomas Lake Harris, the free love movement of the 20th century, and the modern writings of Denis de Rougemont and Alan Watts.

Past Life Dreamwork with Dr. Sabine Lucas

December 4th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Dr. Sabine Lucas, author of Past Life Dreamwork, the result of 27 years of personal and professional work with past life dreams. Here, the presently popular topic of reincarnation is being explored from the perspective of dreams in an extensive study for the very first time. The book derives its title from certain individual themes and topics that run like a psychic inheritance through our past life histories and are being explored from every possible angle, incarnation after incarnation.The book has an autobiographical and a clinical part. Both parts describe the author’s personal and professional struggle with past life material, which arose spontaneously from her unconscious, and later, from the unconscious of some of her clients. These manifestations of past lives in dreams were often so convincing, detailed and concrete that it moved reincarnation from the borderland of metaphysical speculation into the inner space of experiential reality.
Dr. Sabine Lucas

Dr. Sabine Lucas

More About Dr. Sabine Lucas:
Sabine Lucas, Ph.D was born and raised in Germany and educated exclusively in European countries. She holds a Ph.D. in German and English literature from Heidelberg University and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. While living in England, she taught German language and literature at Reading University and worked for BBC London as a language consultant. Later, as a student in Switzerland, she supported herself by translating Jane Roberts’ books Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality and Jung’s English correspondence and lectures for the German Collected Works edition into German. Sabine pioneered dream groups and dream workshops in Switzerland and Austria in the seventies—a time when they were still a novelty. After moving to California in 1983, she worked part-time at the Mental Health Clinic in Mariposa, California, while training future mental health professionals at the California School for Professional Psychology in Fresno in dream analysis.

Since 1987, Dr. Lucas has been in private practice in Santa Fe, where she is licensed as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Although her interest in past life dreams and the concomitant self-exploration goes back to 1976, it has been part of her clinical practice only for the last fifteen years. In the course of this time, she has been able to develop my own unique method of working with past life dreams and of integrating past life material in such a way that it enriches and empowers, while keeping the person balanced and grounded. Sabine is a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, of the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists of the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, and a diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association. More info at: www.pastlifedreams.com

Kabbalistic Female Prophets with Zohara Hieronimus

November 20th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Zohara Hieronimus, author The Kabbalistic Teachings of the Female Prophets. Zohara’s book discusses The spiritual teachings of Israel’s biblical prophetesses from a kabbalistic perspective. Zohara explores the lives and symbolic significance of seven female prophets: Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther and uses the gematria of Jewish metaphysics to demonstrate that prophecy is a mystical initiatory path by which Divine Will is made known, not only a tool for telling the future. The seven prophetesses of Israel–Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther–lived between 1800 and 350 BCE. Their combined lives reflect a kabbalistic path of spiritual evolution that is as pertinent to our lives today as it was for the biblical communities in which they lived. From her studies of the Torah and classical gematria, Zohara Hieronimus shows that each prophetess is linked to a Sefirah on the kabbalistic Tree of Life: from creation (Sarah) through learning correct moral action (Devorah) to the promise of redemption and ultimately resurrection (Esther). Using the stories of their lives and teachings, Hieronimus reveals the relationship of each prophetess to the seven days of the week, the seven sacred species of Israel, the human body, and Jewish holidays and rituals.
Zohara Hieronimus

Hieronimus, Ph.D., Zoh has since 1977 participated in numerous projects in Egypt, Israel, Great Britain, and the United States. A student of Chassidut and Kabbalah, Zohara is a women’s instructor on the inner teachings of the Alef- Beit, (the Hebrew alphabet), and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as seen through the lives of the seven prophetesses of Israel. In addition, Zoh has led numerous environmental efforts at the grass roots and legislative levels locally and nationally since 1975, focused on environmental impacts on health, the dangers of pesticide abuse, food irradiation, and genetically modified foods. She has been a life long supporter of bio-dynamic and organic farming as well as the natural husbandry of the animal community. She is an animal lover and a life long caretaker of dogs, cats, birds, turtles and whatever else lands in her yard.

David’s interest in technology led him to a desire to understand advanced, non-terrestrial (alien) technologies and this driving ambition led him to experience out of body realities where he interacted with beings from other dimensions who led him on a program over the course of, many years to train his mind and his higher intuitive faculties. It was a facilitating program of psychic and advanced medium-ship development. David became highly adept at using his intuitive skills to receive direct intuition from guiding spirits. This enabled him to make technological leaps and discoveries without apparent physical tuition and assistance.

Werewolves: A Field Guide to Shapeshifters with Dr. Bob Curran

October 30th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Bob Curran about his book, Werewolves; A Field Guide to Shapeshiters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts. Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf-that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature-but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved-through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In Werewolves, author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological roots that underlie this profane linking of human and beast. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children shaped our ideas of human-beasts? And what is the future of such beliefs? The author also considers the use of genetic engineering-in this case, the fusing of human and animal genes-in order to cure some human diseases and alleviate suffering. Is the idea of man turning into beast really so far fetched? Werewolves is an essential reference book that takes an in-depth look at a fascinating subject. One word of warning, though: It must never be read under the baleful rays of a full moon. You have been warned!
More About Dr. Bob Curran:
Dr. Bob Curran was born in County Down, Northern Ireland. After leaving school, he held down a number of jobs and travelled extensively in several countries. Returning to Northern Ireland, he went to University before becoming a teacher and lecturer. He now works as a writer and broadcaster, as well as in a cultural and educational advisory capacity for a number of governmental organizations. Curran is the author of numerous books including the popular Vampires, Zombies, and Lost Lands, Forgotten Realms. He currently lives in the very north of Ireland with his wife and young family. Ian Daniels has illustrated book covers for Marion Zimmer Bradley, Orson Scott Card, and Poul Anderson.

When Ghosts Speak with Ghost Whisperer Mary Ann Winkowski

October 23rd, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Mary Ann Winkowski, the real GhostWhisperer, on whom the TV show Ghost Whisperer is based. Mary Ann Winkowski talks to dead people—she sees them all the time, everywhere. Her earliest memories include speaking with spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities come to terms with their unfinished business on earth and cross over to the other side. In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF EARTHBOUND SPIRITS (Grand Central Publishing mass market; October 2009) Mary Ann shares a lifetime’s worth of information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some memorable ghosts. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal—stories about ghosts from the ghosts’ perspectives—and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us.

Join Kala and Mary Ann as they discuss topics from Mary Ann’s book including:

The Truth About Ghosts—they do not “draw” energy from your TV or other electrical devices, they do not have ‘super powers’, they cannot walk through you and you cannot walk through them, and earthbound ghosts know that they are dead.

Where Ghosts Congregate—contrary to popular belief, cemeteries are not the most haunted spots on earth. They will gather anywhere they are likely to find sources of emotional energy (think shopping malls, theaters, amusement parks, hospital emergency rooms)

The White Light—this manifestation of positive energy provides an opportunity for ghosts ‘stuck’ on earth to cross over. Mary Ann is able to create it on the spot, and tells her readers how they can begin to access the special powers of this potent force.

Why Some Souls Stay Behind—while spirits are meant to go into the Light once they leave their bodies, they often stay here for many reasons including attachments to places or things, fear of final judgment or punishment, seeking revenge or pursuing justice, or staying to protect the living

Funerals—Mary Ann shares what ghosts do at their own wakes or funerals, what she does at these events, reveals the most common questions from the living to the deceased, and discloses the most common complaints that she hears from the dead.

Are you Alone?—Mary Ann discusses the ways you may intentionally or unintentionally attract an earthbound spirit and details the signs that a spirit is around you

How to Deal with Ghosts—tips and strategies for protecting yourself from the influence of earthbound spirits (for example, do not talk to or yell at the spirits as you are giving them exactly what they want—your attention and energy)

Mary Ann Winkowski

Mary Ann Winkowski

More About Mary Ann Winkowski:
Mary Ann Winkowski was born in Cleveland Ohio and has been communicating with Earthbound spirits for most of her life. Her earliest memories include talking to spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities cross over into The White Light. Over the course of work as a paranormal investigator, Mary Ann’s reputation has spread.

She is a consultant to the CBS hit television show Ghost Whisperer, has appeared on numerous TV and radio news programs, and spoken at countless lectures. What once she did between raising two daughters, foster parenting, and pet grooming has now become a fulltime vocation. Still living and working primarily in the Cleveland area, Mary Ann has offered her abilities to those in need as far away as New Mexico, St. Lucia, and Scotland.

Unlike the sensationalized tales of most ghost lore, WHEN GHOST SPEAK presents real stories of troubled people—both the living and the dead—not simply the terror of sinister paranormal manifestations served up by the horror novels and Hollywood.

Mary Ann offers lessons on death and the immortality of the spirit that only someone who can actually speak with the deceased could teach. Her abilities have offered solace to countless people, either by reuniting them with loved ones who have died or by removing unwanted spirits and negative energy from homes, businesses or possessions.

Zombies to Angels with Dr. Christian de Quincey

October 16th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Dr. Christian de Quincey about his book, Consciousness from Zombies to Angels: The Shadow and the Light of Knowing Who You Are. All of us exhibit both shadow and light, aspects of ourselves we fear and deny (our inner Zombies) as well as qualities we admire and want to radiate (our inner Angels). The key to a creative and fulfilled life is to integrate both. De Quincey reveals that the way to transformation is to accept ourselves exactly as we are–a work in progress. Learn the difference between “energy talk” and “consciousness talk”; how the body affects the mind, and vice versa; and where to go for help to develop consciousness, heal emotions, or grow spiritually. Find out why facing up to your darkest fears will liberate your brightest light as you learn to embrace all of your humanity and experience the power of transformation.

Near Death Experiences with Mellen-Thomas Benedict

October 9th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Mellen-Thomas Benedict about his near-death experience. After suffering from a terminal illness, in 1982 Mellen-Thomas Benedict ‘died’ and for an hour and a half he was monitored showing no vital signs. Miraculously he returned to his body with a complete remission of the disease – and what may be the most inspirational near-death experience story known to date. While on the “other side” Mellen journeyed through several realms of consciousness and beyond the “light at the end of the tunnel”. He was shown during his NDE, in holographic detail, Earth’s past and a beautiful vision of mankind’s future for the next 400 years. He experienced the cosmology of our soul’s connection to Mother Earth (Gaia), our role in the Universe, and was gifted with access to Universal Intelligence.

God Outside the Box with Patricia Panahi

September 25th, 2009 | Author:
Kala speaks with Patricia Panahi about her book, God Outside the Box – A Story of Breaking Free. Born of a Catholic mother and Moslem father, Patti is never sure what religion to follow, or any at all for that matter. In her youth and early twenties, she explores numerous religions, but none speak to her soul. She can’t accept the idea that one group has the whole truth and everyone else is wrong, or confused, or infidels, or a cult, or going to burn in hell for all time. To limit her thinking for religious purposes is like living in a cubicle and not being allowed to look over the wall and see what is going on outside. She wants to think for herself, to study, to analyze and to practice without inhibitions. Why would God only accept the practices and prayers of one particular group and not others? An omniscient God can’t be that petty, can he-or she? She finally concludes that she just doesn’t know and flounders in a spiritual void for a time. But when she is diagnosed with a serious illness and haunted by inner demons of her past, she cracks and falls apart. Deep, buried emotions erupt to the surface, shaking her to her core. Propelled to seek answers and find inner peace, she cries out to the heavens for help. Consequently, she tumbles into a spiritual adventure that explodes her concepts of reality and opens her to a brave new world where souls talk, trees emit energy fields, rocks have life, and God is everywhere.
Patricia Panahi

Patricia Panahi

More About Patricia Panahi:
Along with inspiring people to find a God of their understanding Patti is an inspiration and role model to anyone who feels they have a story to share. Patti states, “Writing this book took me back to the doubts, fears, breakthroughs and many miracles and extraordinary experiences I’ve had over the years. It showed me how far I’ve come and how much I’ve changed. It gave me the courage to continue on my spiritual path and know that by following my inner guidance, I can accomplish anything. I have also learned that my primary reason for being here is to communicate, to teach and to share. While previously I taught ESL to international students, now my teaching and sharing is being transformed to help people who are in the process of spiritual awakening. ” Over the course of her 34-year career, Patricia Panahi has been a teacher, business owner, workshop coordinator, program director and, of course, writer. Patricia Panahi holds a BA in English and an MA in Linguistics from San Diego State University. She spent twenty years teaching English to international students in Iran, California, and Hawaii. She also directed ESL programs for Hawaii Community College and the University of Hawaii at Hilo. In the mid 1980′s, she owned and operated The Light Spot, a metaphysical bookstore and coffeehouse in San Diego. She also managed the Inner Visions Center which offered classes and workshops on personal transformation. Patricia currently devotes her time to writing and her spitirual path. She lives on the Big Island of Hawaii with her husband and one mischievous feline.

Ask Yourself This with Wendy Craig-Purcell

September 18th, 2009 | Author:

Observing that today’s world events are prompting people to re-evaluate what’s important in life, who they are and, who they want to be, Wendy understands that while self-exploration comes easily to some, it can be an intimidating endeavor for those less naturally introspective. Either way, in “Ask Yourself This,” Wendy reveals the startling insight that the right questions asked at the right time can be even more powerful than the answers. She notes, “Questions are like channels through which our mental, emotional and creative energy flows… Asking good questions is the doorway to personal transformation.”
