with
Joy Gardner
|
Virato chats
with Joy
Gardner, a
recent
arrival to
Asheville
who has been
a pioneer in
complementary
health since
1972.
Director of
the
Vibrational
Healing
Program,
and author
of 15 books
on
self-healing,
she has
taught
throughout
the United
States,
Canada,
England and
Australia.
Living in
the
Southwest
and then in
the
Northwest,
Gardner
studied with
the Hopi,
Apache, and
Coast Salish
Indians,
learning
herbal,
shamanic and
sound
healing.
This she
combined
with her own
ancestral
Hebraic and
middle
Eastern
traditions
as the
daughter of
a
precognitive
mother and
the
granddaughter
of a
rabbi/cantor.
Starting her
healing
career as an
herbalist,
Gardner was
educated in
the field,
living in a
rural
commune with
80 people on
200 acres of
land. Her
fellow
communards
provided the
laboratory
for one of
the first
contemporary
experiments
in holistic
healing in
1966. From
there, Joy
worked at
the
Country
Doctor
Community
Clinic
in Seattle,
where they
published
her first
book,
Healing
Yourself,
which has
sold over
100,000
copies.
She also
helped start
the
Siuslaw
Rural Health
Clinic
between
Florence and
Eugene,
Oregon,
where she
worked as an
Alternative
Practitioner.
Later
Gardner
trained with
death-and-loss
pioneer
Elisabeth
Kubler-Ross,
and helped
start a
hospice in
Nelson,
B.C.,
Canada,
where she
trained
volunteers.
Her close
relationship
with nature
gave rise to
an intimate
sense of
communication
with rocks
and
crystals,
which led to
the creation
of her own
unique
method of
healing,
which she
calls
Vibrational
Alignmentª |

dialogues
with
with
internationally
acclaimed
author and
lecturer,
Gary Zukav.
Zukav the
author of
The Dancing
Wu Li
Masters: An
Overview of
the New
Physics,
winner of
The American
Book Award
for Science
in 1979, and
The Seat
of the Soul,
a New
York Times,
USA Today,
Los Angeles
Times,
and
Publishers
Weekly
number-one
bestseller.
His books
have sold
over 6
million
copies and
published in
twenty-four
languages.
Zukav is a
graduate of
Harvard and
a former
U.S. Army
Special
Forces
(Green
Beret)
officer in
Vietnam.
After he
began doing
shows with
Oprah
Winfrey,
The Seat of
the Soul
became a #1
New York
Times
bestseller
and remained
on the
New York
Times
bestseller
list fort
three years
Zukav's
gentle
humor,
sensitivity,
and deep
insights
have
endeared him
to millions
of readers
and
listeners.
His
spiritual

Linda

They live in

In his
words, "My
life has
been an
unfolding
vision of a
planet
without
conflict, a
world that
reflects the
values of
the soul –
harmony,
cooperation,
sharing, and
reverence
for Life –
and that is
filled with
universal
humans,
humans who
are citizens
of the
Universe,
whose
allegiance
is to life.
The more
pain I see
in the
world, the
more I see
how it can
be used to
find and
transform
the parts of
ourselves
that are
creating so
violently
and
destructively
into parts
that create
consciously
and
constructively.
I see the
potential
for a new
world being
born in
front of me
and all
around me,
and I feel
the only way
to bring
that
potential
into being
is to know
myself, and
where
necessary,
change
myself, to
create
authentic
power, to
align
personality
with soul,
and I love
sharing what
I know about
how to do
that." |

Majo John Madden, Ph.D.
Virato's guest
this morning is
Majo John
Madden who
originally
studied to be a
Catholic priest
and psychiatrist
at Loyola
University.
But then he gave
up a
four-year
scholarship to
medical school
when he realized
that his whole
young life had
suddenly become
programmed for
him.
Instead he got a
Ph.D. in
Clinical
Psychology from
the University
of Rochester and
practiced
psychology for
over 20 years,
specializing in
Gestalt and
other humanistic
approaches to
counseling and
therapy.
He taught
psychology at
Alfred
University in
upstate New York
and practiced
organization
development in
major
corporations for
15 years.
Madden says that
for many years
he immersed
myself in
meditative and
spiritual
disciplines
including TM,
Bhakti yoga,
Zen Buddhism (he
studied with the
Vietnamese Zen
master Thich
Nhat Hanh for
four years) and
Sufism.
He says he
finally realized
his true
spiritual path
is the “low
road” to higher
consciousness –
progressively
stripping away
any attempt to
be anything
other than who
you actually
are.
Dr. Madden moved
to Asheville
from Chicago
three years ago,
to leave the
management
consulting and
psychology world
behind. Here in
Asheville, his
jobs have
included
restaurant
server, taxi
driver, and golf
pro shop locker
room attendant.
Along the way he
created a web
site
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~authenticcustomerservice
and a blog
http://www.authenticcustomerservice.blogspot.com
on what he calls
“authentic
customer
service.”
He now leads
retreats called
Life
Lived More
Deeply.

on this work is

AM-Noon EST

|
Virato's
guest today is
Laurie Manwell,
a researcher and
writer for the
9/11 Truth
Movement,
and the
Journal of 9/11
Studies:
Two of her
recent papers
are "Faulty
Towers of
Belief: Part I.
Demolishing the
Iconic
Psychological
Barriers to 9/11
Truth" and "Faulty
Towers of
Belief:
Part II.
Rebuilding the
Road to Freedom
of Reason."
Using only
mainstream
scientific
research,
Manwell's papers
identify several
basic
psychological
phenomena that
can work to
prevent
objective
evaluation of
evidence that
contradicts the
official account
of 9/11
proffered by the
Bush
administration
and their
supporters.
The first paper
breaks down
these
psychological
barriers into
categories and
gives examples
based on a
summary of years
of scientific
study. The
second paper
suggests
detailed ways to
use this
information to
talk to people
about the facts
of 9/11 without
arousing
defensiveness in
efforts to
encourage
people to begin
to question what
they have been
led to believe
about 9/11.
She is
working on
presenting and
publishing a
paper in a panel
at a conference
in the USA on
administration
policy in the
spring. The
paper, "In
Denial of
Democracy," will
focus on the
psychology of
state crimes
against
democracy and
how to encourage
citizens to take
responsibility
for protecting
their
constitutional
rights,
specifically in
the context of
the events of
9/11.
Manwell has a
Bachelor's
degree in
Biology and
Psychology, a MS
in cellular,
molecular and
developmental
biology, and is
currently a PhD
candidate in
Behavioral
Neuroscience.
Several papers
on cognition,
personality,
social
psychology, and
molecular
biology
have been
published and in
press in
mainstream
journals. |

Alex Jones
|
Virato
probes the
mind of
Alex Jones.
Jones has
produced a
series of
videos about
what he
believes is
the
emergence of
a
totalitarian
world
government,
based on
what he
views as the
erosion of
the United
States'
national
sovereignty
and its
civil
liberties,
as well as
the misuse
of
government
power,
corporate
deception,
and cohesion
between
disparate
power
structures.
Jones has
been
featured on
Good
Morning
America,
20/20,
60
Minutes,
in countless
publications
including
The Wall
Street
Journal, USA
Today, The
Los Angeles
Times, and
in countless
other media.
He has been
called, "an
absolutely
riveting
television
presence,"
by Patrick
Beech of the
Austin-American
Statesman.

Today,
Virato
speaks with
Graham
Hancock,
author of
the
international
bestsellers
The Sign
and The Seal,
Fingerprints
of the Gods
and
Heaven's
Mirror.
His books
have sold
more than
five million
copies
worldwide
and have
been
translated
into 27
languages.
His public
lectures and
TV
appearances
have put his
ideas before
audiences of
tens of
millions. He
has become
recognized
as an
unconventional
thinker who
raises
legitimate
questions
about
humanity's
history and
prehistory
and offers
an
increasingly
popular
challenge to
the
entrenched
views of
orthodox
scholars.
Born in
Edinburgh,
Scotland,
Hancock's
early years
were spent
in India,
where his
father
worked as a
surgeon.
Later he
went to
school and
university
in the
northern
English city
of Durham
and
graduated
from
Durham
University
in 1973 with
First Class
Honors in
Sociology.
He went on
to pursue a
career in
quality
journalism,
writing for
many of
Britain's
leading
newspapers
including
The
Times,
The
Sunday Times,
The
Independent,
and The
Guardian.
He was
co-editor of
New
Internationalist
magazine
from
1976-1979
and East
Africa
correspondent
of The
Economist
from
1981-1983.
In the early
1980's
Hancock's
writing
began to
move
consistently
in the
direction of
books. His
first book (Journey
Through
Pakistan,
with
photographers
Mohamed Amin
and Duncan
Willetts)
was
published in
1981. It was
followed by
Under
Ethiopian
Skies
(1983),
Ethiopia:
The
Challenge of
Hunger
(1984), and
AIDS:
The Deadly
Epidemic
(1986). In
1987 Hancock
began work
on his
widely-acclaimed
critique of
foreign aid,
Lords of
Poverty,
which was
published in
1989.
African Ark
(with
photographers
Angela
Fisher and
Carol
Beckwith)
was
published in
1990.
In 2002
Hancock
published
Underworld:
Flooded
Kingdoms of
the Ice Age
to great
critical
acclaim, and
hosted the
accompanying
British TV
series. This
was the
culmination
of years of
research and
on-hand
dives at
ancient
underwater
ruins.
Arguing that
many of the
clues to the
origin of
civilization
lay
underwater,
on coastal
regions once
above water
but flooded
at the end
of the last
Ice age,
Underworld
offered
tangible
archaeological
evidence
that myths
and legends
of ancient
floods were
not to be
dismissed
out of hand.
The subject
of today's
chat will be
his latest
book,
Supernatural:
Meetings
with the
Ancient
Teachers of
Mankind. |

Naomi Wolf
| Virato
chats with
best-selling
author Naomi
Wolf, who,
in
a stunning
indictment of the
Bush
administration and
Congress, lays out
her case for
saving American
democracy. In
authoritative
research and
documentation Wolf
explains how
events of the last
six years parallel
steps taken in the
early years of the
20th century’s
worst
dictatorships such
as Germany,
Russia, China, and
Chile.
Naomi
Wolf graduated
from Yale in 1984
and was a Rhodes
scholar at New
College, Oxford
University. She is
the author of the
best-selling books
The Beauty
Myth, Fire with
Fire,
Promiscuities,
and Misconceptions.
The New York Times
called The
Beauty Myth
one of the 70 most
significant books
of the
century.
Wolf
was a consulting
editor at George
Magazine. Her
essays appear
regularly in The
New Republic, The
New York Times,
The Wall Street
Journal, The
Washington Post,

Today Virato
chats with
Robert Roskind.
Roskind, his
wife, Julia, and
their 19
year-old
daughter,
Alicia, have
organized and
hosted nearly
100 "One Love
Events" in
Jamaica and on
Native American
reservations,
colleges
and at public
venues in the
U.S. All are
non-commercial,
involve no
sponsorship
funding and are
free to the
public. They are
non-denominational,
apolitical and
bring forward a
message of
universal love
for all.
One of the
largest was on
February 6,
2005, Bob
Marley's 60th
Birthday
Celebration, in
Kingston,
Jamaica with a
live audience of
tens of
thousands and a
TV and radio
audience of
almost two
million. It
included
presentations by
the Jamaican
head of state,
Governor General
Sir Howard
Cooke, the
Minister of
Education, the
Minister of
Tourism, Bob's
daughter,
Stephanie
Marley, many
conscious civic
leaders and talk
show hosts and
twenty
well-known
recording
artists also
performed
including Bunny
Wailer, Culture,
Luciano, Ernie
Smith and Abijah.
These events
have often led
to a
community-wide
healing. Their
five events on
the Hopi
reservation in
Arizona led to
the Hopis
defeating
reservation
gambling and
preserving their
ancient ways.
Their two events
on the Havasupai
reservation on
the floor of the
Grand Canyon led
to the tribe
electing a
pro-environmental
tribal council
committed to
protecting the
Canyon. In
Jamaica, their
54 concerts
brought a
much-needed
message of love
to a country in
turmoil.

AM-Noon EST

Over 1/2 of
commercial
television
advertising
is for
prescription
or OTC
pharmaceuticals.
The
propaganda
techniques
they use are
sleazy. But
that is only
what you see
on TV. On
July 8, 2006
we aired
this
program, and
feel the
public
airwaves
must hear it
again!
Kathleen
Slattery-Moschkau,
a
pharmaceutical
sales rep
for a
decade,
takes a
different
approach to
exposing
what she
sees as the
profit-driven
deception in
her old job.
Side Effects
is not a
documentary,
but a
romantic
comedy about
a sales rep
torn between
her ethics
(embodied by
her new
boyfriend)
and her
hefty
paycheck
(embodied by
her new
BMW).
The film
deftly mixes
in
intriguing
information
about how
the industry
really
operates
amidst the
drama. It's
already
caught the
interest of
the national
media, with
Slattery-Moschkau
doing
interviews
in USA
Today
and on
CNN,
and now
VIRATO
LIVE!
Kathleen
Slattery-Moschkau
graduated
with a
degree in
political
science from
University
of
Wisconsin-Madison.
After
college,
Kathleen
spent a
decade
working for
the
pharmaceutical
industry.
She began
documenting
both amusing
and
frightening
incidents
that
occurred in
her daily
career life
as a sales
representative
for a big
drug
company.
Kathleen
then wrote a
script based
on these
experiences,
got an
agent, and
left her
empty career
in the
pharmaceutical
industry.
When the
powers that
be in LA
wanted her
to dumb down
the script
into a
generic
Hollywood
story,
Kathleen
decided to
take a leap
of faith and
make the
film
herself.
Miraculously,
she raised
the funding
within two
weeks and
filmed in
less than 18
days in and
around
Madison, WI.
Side Effects
is
Kathleen's
debut as a
director.
As a side
note,
Katharine
Heigl from
ABC's
Grey's
Anatomy
is the
film's star.

loss of
civil

misuse of

power,
corporate

In the future,
environmental
degradation has
forced humanity
to live within
giant domed
cities. The
Corporate
Sponsors, which
have supplanted
nation states,
have brought
humans to the

civilization
through a social
order determined
only by wealth.
Information
along with
everything else
has become a

is good and only

Bill Plotkin
|
Virato speaks
with Bill
Plotkin, PhD,
author of
Nature and the
Human Soul"
Cultivating
Wholeness and
Community in a
Fragmented
World.
Plotkin says
that if we are
to survive as a
species, we must
progress from
our current
egocentric,
aggressively
competitive,
consumer society
to an ecocentric,
soul-based one
that is
sustainable,
cooperative, and
compassionate.
At once a primer
on human
development and
a manifesto for
change,
Nature and the
Human Soul
fashions a
template for a
more mature,
fulfilling, and
purposeful life
— and a better
world.
Plotkin is
considered one
of the nation’s
leading
authorities on
vision quests
and other
nature-based
spiritual
programs and has
lectured widely
at home and
abroad. He
pioneered one of
the country's
most
popular
training
programs in
wilderness rites
that includes
advanced courses
on nature and
soul and
professional
trainings in
soul-centered
psychotherapy,
ceremony, and
wilderness
skills. He has
worked as a
consultant to
individuals,
groups,
government
agencies,
corporations,
and public
school systems
on rites of
passage and
soul-centered
human
development.
His vision
quests are
sponsored and
supported by
Naropa
University
in Boulder, CO,
Omega
Institute in
Rhinebeck, NY,
and the
Institute of
Noetic Sciences
in Petaluma, CA.
The founding
director of
Animas Valley
Institute,
he has guided
thousands of
people on
Vision Quests
and other
programs since
1980.
He has been a
psychotherapist,
research
psychologist,
rock musician,
river runner,
professor of
psychology, and
mountain-bike
racer. As a
research
psychologist, he
studied dreams
and non-ordinary
states of
consciousness
achieved through
meditation,
biofeedback, and
hypnosis.
Currently an
ecotherapist,
depth
psychologist,
and wilderness
guide, he leads
a variety of
experiential,
nature-based
individuation
programs.
Plotkin's
previous book
was called
Soulcraft:
Crossing into
the Mysteries of
Nature and
Psyche. His
doctorate in
psychology
(1976) is from
the
University of
Colorado at
Boulder. |

with
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell
On January 31,
1971, US 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 BS in
Industrial
Management from
Carnegie
Mellon
University,
a BS from the
U.S. Naval
Academy, and
a Ph.D. in
Aeronautics and
Astronautics
from MIT.
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.
After retiring
from the Navy in
1972, Dr.
Mitchell founded
the
Institute of
Noetic Sciences
to foster
research into
the nature of
consciousness.
He is the author
of
Psychic
Exploration,
and
The Way of the
Explorer ,
the subject of
today's
discussion with
Virato.
Dr. Mitchell has
devoted the last
35 years to
studying human
consciousness
and psychic and
paranormal
phenomena in
search of a
common ground
between science
and spirit.
A side note:
Living in
Roswell, New
Mexico when the
"famous" UFO was
to have crashed
near his ranch
when he was 13,
soon after he
began flying
aircraft.

Today Virato
chats with
Om Kailash, a man
who worked for
many years
as a
professor and
scholar of
communication
studies (as Kurt
A. Bruder,
Ph.D.),
exploring the
relationship
between our
everyday
interaction and
our sense of
self. He
ventured beyond
the usual
sources and
methods of
conventional
social science,
consulting the
world's wisdom
traditions and
their procedures
for transforming
the
practitioner's
relationship to
ego.
He says, "By the
grace of my
guru,
Bhagavan
Das, I now
share some
things that I've
learned on my
journey by
participating in
kirtans
(interactive
devotional
chanting events)
and conducting
workshops on
spiritually-relevant
themes.

Barbara Marx Hubbard
|
Today Virato
chats with noted
author,
futurist,
citizen
diplomat, and
social architect
Barbara Marx
Hubbard
Dr. Hubbard is
at the forefront
of an emergent
'post-conventional'
worldview - - a
quantum change
comparable to
the Renaissance
and the
Enlightenment
periods - - that
is unleashing
evolutionary
forces embodying
creativity,
deepening
spirituality,
and
environmental
systems
awareness.
Hubbard calls
this worldview
'Conscious
Evolution', and
unlike
futurists'
usually
grandiose
visions, is
actually
codifying it
into a cohesive
social potential
movement.
President of the
Foundation
for Conscious
Evolution
Hubbard
co-founded
several major
organizations
including the
World Future
Society
the
Society For
The Universal
Human,
and the
Global
Association for
New Thought.
In 1984 her name
was placed in
nomination for Vice
President of
the United
States (along
with Geraldine
Ferraro) on the
Democratic
ticket,
proposing an
Office for the
Future and a
“Peace Room” in
the White House
to scan for,
map, connect,
and communicate
what is working
in the United
States and the
world. She has
developed a plan

Most
everyone dreams
of a better
life. All the
things you’ve
ever wanted
--happiness,
loving
relationships,
well-being,
abundance, and
peace of mind --
are qualities
of
enlightenment, a
way of embracing
our fullest
potential that
seemed
unavailable,
until now.
Blending
centuries-old
insight from a
Tibetan
spiritual leader
with
contemporary
wisdom from a
bold and
innovative
non-Buddhist,
they suggest
that people can
bypass the
limitations of
modern life and
achieve lasting
peace. There
might not be a
shortcut to your
dreams, but how
about ...a
Backdoor!
Today, Virato
chats with
Tibetan monk Za
Rinpoche and
writer Ashley
Nebelsieck about
their new book,
Backdoor to
Enlightenment.
Za Rinpoche was
recognized by
the Dalai Lama
as the sixth
reincarnation of
the ZaChoeje
Rinpoche. In
1998, he led the
Mystical Arts
of Tibet
Cultural Tour
to sixty
cities across
the United
States, and
lectured at
thirty
universities.
Ashley
Nebelsieck is
a writer and
explorer who
travels the
world checking
out sacred
sites--from the
Vatican, to the
pyramids at Giza,
to Callenish in
the Outer
Hebrides, to
Angkor Wat in
Cambodia, and
countless
others.

There's a lot of talk about Global Warming, and other serious environmental concerns, but not much is being implemented on the local level. One organization stands out in this regard. Today Virato discusses Bioneers a nonprofit organization dedicated to disseminating practical and visionary solutions for restoring Earth’s imperiled ecosystems and healing our human communities. Virato speaks with Kenny Ausubel an award-winning social entrepreneur, author, journalist and filmmaker. He is the founder and CEO of Bioneers, a nationally and internationally recognized and active not-for-profit organization dedicated to disseminating practical and visionary solutions for restoring Earth’s imperiled ecosystems and our human communities. He launched the annual Bioneers Conference in 1990 with co-founder Nina Simons, his business partner and wife, who is President of Bioneers. The conference attracts well over 3,000 people each year in San Rafael, California, and is beamed live by satellite to about 20 localized Bioneers conferences across the US to another 10,000 attendees.
Since 2004 he has executive produced and co-written the award-winning national and international radio series Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature. He consults with third-party filmmakers, including acting as a central advisor to Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2007 feature documentary The 11th Hour, in which Ausubel also appears.
Ausubel also co-founded the national company Seeds of Change in 1989 and served as CEO until 1994 to restore “backyard biodiversity” into the food web through marketing organic, biodiverse heirloom seeds to gardeners. Previously he produced several documentary films about alternative medicine including the award-winning feature documentary film Hoxsey: How Healing Becomes a Crime about the medical politics surrounding the suppression of promising unconventional cancer therapies.
Ausubel attended Yale University, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University in 1972. He lives in the mountains outside Santa Fe, New Mexico with Nina and their two dogs.
Also on today's program will be Dorisse, a Bioneer member now living in Asheville and looking to start a Bioneer group in Asheville.
Bioneers offers pragmatic solutions that honor the living web of the natural world as the most fertile source of inspiration and models. It's all alive.
The Bioneers span all fields, cultures, ages and walks of life. The work ranges from science to spirit - local to global - academia to the grass roots - farm to city - business to public service - art to engineering. They celebrate the gift of life in all its diversity and mystery, conjuring a change of heart to renew our empathic connection with the web of life and the Earth, our home. It's all relatives.

Yogi Amrit Desai
|
Today,
Virato
chats
with
Gurudev
Shri
Amritji
(Yogi
Amrit
Desai),
an
internationally
recognized
authority
on yoga.
Widely
acknowledged
for
carrying
the
authentic
voice of
yoga to
the
world,
he has
been
honored
both in
the U.S.
and
abroad.
Some of
his
distinguished
titles
include
Doctor
of Yoga,
Jagadacharya
(Universal
Teacher),
and the
rare
Vishwa
Yoga
Ratna,
awarded
by the
President
of
India.
Yogi
Desai
began
teaching
yoga in
1960t.
Following
a
profound
life-transforming
Kundalini
awakening,
he
developed
a
methodology
that
altered
the
popular
notion
of yoga
as a
physical
discipline
and
reintroduced
a
spiritual
dimension
to the
practice
of
Hatha
Yoga. He
named
this
approach
Kripalu
Yoga:
Meditation
in
Motion,
in honor
of his
guru,
Swami
Kripalvanandji.
The yoga
society
Yogi
Desai
founded
eventually
grew to
become
the
Kripalu
Center
for Yoga
and
Health,
one of
the
largest
centers
of its
kind in
America.
Yogi
Desai
continues
to
develop
and
teach
his
innovative
approach
in the
form of
Amrit
Yoga.
His
books
include
Kripalu
Yoga:
Book I
and II,
A
Yogic
Perspective
on the
12 Steps
and
Amrit
Yoga.
As well,
his
chanting
has been
captured
on
Ecstatic
Chanting,
a
CD of
high
energy
chants.
Yogi
Desai's
teachings
contain
a
powerful
experiential
component
that
creates
profound
shifts
for
those
who are
ready,
receptive
and
open. He
has
integrated
ancient
wisdom
into an
impactful,
practical
methodology
for
dealing
with the
challenges
of
modern
life.

Leonard Orr
|
Virato chats
with
Leonard
Orr, founder
of Rebirthing.
Here's what
biographer Pola
Churchill has
written about
this man: "Who
the hell is
Leonard Orr? Is
he still alive?
Didn't he
disappear to
India, and live
in a cave with
all those
immortal yogis
he was studying?
What concoction
of revolutionary
ideas has he
come up with
this time?
Isn't he the
guru that made
his first
million dollars
selling air?
Wasn't he the
one that used to
give prosperity
seminars in the
seventies, and
wear dollar
notes pinned to
his jumper, and
people would
line up to pay
him $100 bills ?
Oh yes, I
remember him, I
went to one of
his seminars
that he was
leading, he
picked his nose
and then he fell
asleep in the
middle of the
lecture! Where
is he now?"'
These are some
questions and
comments people
asked me
about Leonard
Orr when I
began doing
research on this
man.. Leonard
exudes an
unusual mixture
of being so
ordinary and
down to earth,
yet so mystical
and profound.
Just being in
his presence is
healing and
cathartic.
Let me tell you
a little bit
about this man.
Leonard was a
born again
Christian, and
majored in Bible
and philosophy
in college. His
books are are
considered
revolutionary
and very
transformational,
and they cover
topics on health
and rebirthing,
healing,
philosophy,
psychology,
business,
prosperity and
consciousness,
physical
immortality, and
government
without taxes,
and democracy.
They are
published in
over ten
languages."
...and that's
what Polo
Churchill says
about him.
A legend in his
time, Leonard
Orr has traveled
the world ten
times delivering
his lectures.
Over 20 million
people have experienced
his rebirthing
breathing
techniques
directly or
indirectly. He
is considered an
eccentric mystic
by many, as well
as a guru and
avatar by
others.
About
rebirthing:
While it is
still banned in
North Carolina
and Colorado,
the process is
safe, gentle and
powerful
breathing
technique that
not only
releases birth
trauma, but
clears the
conscious and
subconscious,
emotional,
physical and
negative beliefs
out of your body
on a cellular
level. It also
dates back to
ancient India
where it is
called pranayama
Said to reverse
the aging
process,
Rebirthing
practitioners
also say that in
the breathing
process you
experience
increased divine
energy, more
clarity, better
health, and an
overall sense of
well being and
happiness.

with
Nanci Danison
Today Virato
chats with
Nanci
Danison, a
business
lawyer
in practice
for 30
years.
Danison
graduated
from Morris
Harvey
College with
a BA in
Psychology
and a BS in
Biology, and
a Doctorate
in law from
The Ohio
State
University
College of
Law.
She
continues to
practice
law, but now
also writes
books
detailing
her memories
of a
beyond-death
experience
in March
1994. After
that
experience,
Danison left
the security
of a law
firm and
went solo,
earned her
private
pilot's
license, and
became a
licensed
private
detective.
Her beyond
death
experience
provided her
with the
unique
opportunity
to view
human life
from the
perspective
of one who
has
transformed
into a "being
of light,"
like the
beings of
light other
near-death experiencers
encounter.
Danison says
she learned
how to
consciously
manifest
reality,
hold
multiple,
simultaneous
levels of
self-awareness,
and access
Universal
Knowledge on
a wide
variety of
subjects.
She claims
she
recognizes
and
experiences
unconditional
love, and
utilizes
many other
abilities
natural to
us all in
our
spiritual
state.
Danison used
access to
Universal
Knowledge to
view the
history of
planet Earth
and how
religion
developed
and has been
woven into
the fabric
of human
evolution.
Just at the
moment when
she was to
merge fully
and finally
into the
what she
call Source
or God, she
says she was
told to
return to
her body in
order to
bring back
messages of
hope and
love, which
are
contained in
her books
and CDs. An
extensive
summary of
Nanci
Danison's
beyond death
experience
appears on
NDE Research
Foundation.
Her new
book
Backwards
(Virato says
it is one of
the books he
receives
that really
impressed
him and had
an impact on
him) is the
subject of
today's
discussion.

frozen in a
blizzard,
and stung 150
times by killer
bees,
If
it's true a cat
has nine lives,
Stephen Redding
could boast of
living
more
lives than your
average feline.
From the age of
four, when he
was crushed by a
tractor, until
the second
time he was
struck by
lightning, on
through to the
time he was
attacked by a
swarm of yellow
jackets,
Stephen's had
his share of
wild, weird and
otherworldly
experiences.
Through it all,
he's formed an
optimistic and
unique regard
for this world
and the others
he has visited.
Stephen believes
he was brought
back to life
after so many
death-defying
experiences for
a reason--and
his refreshing
outlook will not
only have you
cheering, but
will leave you
breathless and
inspired.
Today Virato
chats with this
man and
discusses his
new book,
Something More,
and the
visitations he's
received from
otherworldly
creatures sent
to help him
through crises. |

Mario Rogers
|
Time to put your
mind on the
shelf again
today as Virato
chats with Mario
Rogers who lives
in Lake Lure, NC.
Rogers says he is
visited by many
entities (he
claims there are
several
"species.") who,
he goes on to
say, enter into
this third
dimension
through light
(such as laser
beams or a
common
flashlight).
Rogers does not
seek notoriety
or fame, and has
no books,
website, or
mention on the
Internet, and no
public contact.
I visited him at
unique and
majestic home on
Thursday,
afternoon, April
3, where he
showed Dhiraja
and I his many
photos, as well
as an orgone
generator on his
specially
designed
property.
He discussed the
sacred geometry
of his house and
property, and
went on to tell
us that in
addition to
entities, he
also has
received
"in-the-body"
visits from
astrophysicists,
Harvard
researchers, and
even MUFON.
He may or may
not be on the
program today.
Interesting,
huh?

Saturday,

AM-Noon EST

Today Virato
asks you to
suspend all
judgment and
so-called
rational mind
process for one
hour, as he
chats with
"Allen Michael"
and other
members of the
One World Family
Commune.
Remember,
Virato's motto
is not to
believe, but
simply to
experience.
"Allen Michael."
aka
Allen Noonan,
claims to be an
incarnate
spiritual master
from
Galactica,
and a
God-conscious
soul dedicated
to serving
humanity.
His says his
purpose is to
fulfill the role
of the New World
Comforter (St.
John 14, 15 &
16), and be the
channel of the
prophesied
Everlasting
Gospel
(Rev. 14:1-6).
Noonan further
says he is a
cosmic adept
with advanced
ESP-PSI
telepathic
organs of
perception being
able to balance
the negative
energies of this
planet’s aura.
He says he has
been a direct
channel of the
Universal Mind
since he
experienced a
cosmic
initiation
in 1947. The
experience that
transformed
Allen Noonan, as
he was then
known, took
place in Long
Beach,
California,
where he was a
pictorial sign
painter.
While painting
an outdoor
signboard,
Noonan says he
was suddenly
enveloped in a
bright light,
and found
himself (the
entity in the
body, not the
body itself)
transported up
into what he
later realized
was a "Galactic
Mothership".
Upon
materializing
onboard the
spaceship, he
says he appeared
before a great
Light. And a
Voice spoke to
him out of the
Light, telling
him that he was
chosen to be the
messenger who
would fulfill
the role of
being the New
World Comforter
and channel of
the prophesied
Everlasting
Gospel.
He was given the
name "Allen
Michael," and he
accepted the
mission, and
from that point
onward he says
he has been in
direct
telepathic
contact with the
Universal Mind
of ETI -
Extra
Territorial
Intelligence
- channeling the
energies of the
Spirit of Truth
through the
spoken and
written word, as
well as in deeds
done that will
bring this world
up to and
through our
planetary cosmic
initiation into
the long awaited
Kingdom of God.
In 1967, "Allen
Michael" moved
to San Francisco
where, with a
small group of
people, he
founded the One
World Family
Commune. There,
on Haight
street, they
opened the
Here and Now
natural food
restaurant - the
first of 8
communally owned
and operated
natural food
restaurants. In
all of these
projects, all of
us served
freely, with no
one drawing
wages or taking
profits from the
income.
In 1973, "Allen
Michael" founded
the Universal
Industrial
Church of the
New World
Comforter,
based on the
teachings of
“Holding all
things common
and making
distribution
according to
need” as brought
forth in the
book of Acts,
chapter 4,
verses 32-35,
taught by Jesus,
who Allen
Michael" claims
is another space
messenger.
Through the
years, "Allen
Michael" has
been a speaker
at numerous
public events
and rallies and
has been on
hundreds of
radio and
television shows
all across the
country .He is
presently
featured on the
“Galactic
Messenger”
television show,
and continues to
channel the
Everlasting
Gospel
every day.
"Allen Michael"
is in his 92nd year
...at least his
body is!

His ongoing
concern for the
loss of our
civil liberties
at the hands of

In Plane Site,
the award

Beyond Treason,
One Nation Under
Siege, 911
Ripple Effect,
and his most

His quest for
bringing these

prompted Lewis is
to found Take

Swami
Beyondananda
Today Virato
jests with Steve
Bhaerman
internationally-known
author,
humorist, and
workshop leader.
For the past two
decades he has
written and
performed as
Swami
Beyondananda,
the “Cosmic
Comic.” Swami’s
comedy has been
called
“irreverently
uplifting” and
has been
described both
as “comedy
disguised as
wisdom” and
“wisdom
disguised as
comedy.”
As the Swami,
Steve is the
author of three
books,
Driving Your Own
Karma,
When You See a
Sacred Cow,
Milk It For
All It’s Worth,
and Duck Soup
for the Soul.
Swami’s
nationally-syndicated
spoof advice
column, Ask the
Swami, has been
read by
millions, and
his recent State
of the Universe
Address was
reprinted in
publications as
diverse as Funny
Times and
Magical Blend
Magazine.
Swami’s latest
mission is to
revitalize the
body politic by
turning
spiritual
“devotees” into
political “votees.”
He has founded
the Right to
Laugh Party
(“one big party,
everyone is
invited”) and
launched the
Citizens for
Precedent
Campaign
(“let’s choose a
new ‘precedent’
– government of
the people, by
the people and
for the people
where the
government does
our bidding, not
the bidding of
the highest
bidder – and a
new President
will surely
follow”).
Swami’s alter
ego, Steve
Bhaerman, has
had a varied
career as
teacher, author,
and workshop
leader. A
graduate of
Brooklyn College
and
Antioch-Putney
Graduate School
of Education,
he was the
co-founder of an
alternative high
school in
Washington, D.C.
when he was in
his early
twenties, and
co-authored a
book on his
experiences,
No Particular
Place to Go:
Making of a Free
High School
(Simon &
Schuster, 1972).
In 1980, Steve
co-founded
Pathways
Magazine in
Ann Arbor, one
of the first
publications
bringing
together
holistic health,
personal growth,
spirituality,
politics and
community. The
Swami was a
regular comedy
feature in
Pathways,
and helped
launch Steve’s
career as the
cosmic comic
Swami. For the
past 18 years,
Steve has
designed and led
workshops on
Comedy as a
Healing Art, and
has presented at
numerous
educational,
psychological,
spiritual and
business groups.
He currently
resides in Santa
Rosa, California
with his wife
Trudy Lite. |

The
"Freegan"
Lifestyle
|
Today Virato
chats with
members of the
Freegans--people
who employ
alternative
strategies for
living based on
limited
participation in
the conventional
economy and
minimal
consumption of
resources. They
embrace
community,
generosity,
social concern,
freedom,
cooperation, and
sharing in
opposition to a
society based on
materialism,
moral apathy,
competition,
conformity, and
greed.
After years of
trying to
boycott products
from unethical
corporations
responsible for
human rights
violations,
environmental
destruction, and
animal abuse,
many of them
found that no
matter what they
bought they
ended up
supporting
something
deplorable. They
came to realize
that the problem
isn't just a few
bad corporations
but the entire
system itself.
Freeganism is a
total boycott of
an economic
system, where
the profit
motive has
eclipsed ethical
considerations
and where
massively
complex systems
of production
ensure that all
the products
they buy will
have detrimental
impacts most of
which we may
never even
consider. Thus,
instead of
avoiding the
purchase of
products from
one bad company
only to support
another, they
simply avoid
buying anything
to the greatest
degree they are
able.
The word "freegan"
is a composite
of "free" and
"vegan". Vegans
are people who
avoid products
from animal
sources or
products tested
on animals in an
effort to avoid
harming our
fellow planet
creatures.
Freegans take
this a step
further by
recognizing that
in a complex,
industrial,
mass-production
economy driven
by profit,
abuses of
humans, animals,
and the earth
abound at all
levels of
production (from
acquisition to
raw materials to
production to
transportation)
and in just
about every
product people
buy. Sweatshop
labor,
rainforest
destruction,
global warming,
displacement of
indigenous
communities, air
and water
pollution,
eradication of
wildlife on
farmland as
"pests," the
violent
overthrow of
popularly
elected
governments to
maintain puppet
dictators
compliant to big
business
interests,
open-pit strip
mining, oil
drilling in
environmentally
sensitive areas,
union busting,
child slavery,
and payoffs to
repressive
regimes, are
just some of the
many impacts of
the seemingly
innocuous
consumer
products we
consume every
day.
Freegans employ
a range of
strategies for
practical living
based on our
principles |

Norio Kushi
Today Virato
chats with
Norio Kushi
who says,
"We already
have
everything
we could
ever want.
The only
thing that
prevents us
from
experiencing
this
complete
fulfillment
is our idea
of a self.
He says
it is the
single root
cause of all
human
suffering.
The
son of
Michio Kushi
of
macrobiotic
fame, Norio
Kushi is his
own person.
Throughout
his life, he
has followed
his passion
for wheels.
He bicycled
90 miles a
day as a
child, drove
a taxi in
Boston,
started a
bus company
in Vermont,
and pursued
a career
driving a
big rig
throughout
North
America.
While
driving his
truck, Norio
stopped
thinking for
more than
two weeks.
Through this
experience, he
realized
that the
"self" we
think we are
does not
exist. The
"self"
exists only
in our
minds. By
recognizing
the illusion
of the self,
Kushi
awakened to
complete
peace and
unconditional
love, a
state that
is
accessible
to us
all. He
now welcomes
the
opportunity to
share
his insights
into the
human
condition.

with
Dr. Bob Hieronimus
|
Today Virato
chats with
Robert R.
Hieronimus,
Ph.D. a pioneer
in the "new
paradigm"
movement for
over 40 years.
In the '60s Dr.
Hieriniumus
travelled with
numerous rock
bands sharing
esoterica and
designing
posters and
album covers.
Today, his
highly acclaimed
occult and
symbolic murals
include the
2,700 square
foot prophetic
Apocalypse
at Johns Hopkins
University, that
led to Dr.
Hieronimus being
called "one of
this country's
best muralists."
In 1969 he
founded AUM,
the first state
approved school
of esoteric
studies in the
country offering
certificates in
the occult
sciences, mystic
arts and
religious
metaphysics.
PBS
documented his
leadership and
contributions in
1971 with the
feature, The
Artist of
Savitria
produced by
Maryland Public
Television and
seen nationwide.
Dr. Bob’s most
famous “Artcar,”
the Volkswagen
bus, Light
(better known as
“the
Woodstock bus”),
was photographed
by Associated
Press and
Rolling Stone
at the original
Woodstock
Festival,
and is still
seen today
regularly
reprinted in
media all over
the world. A
diecast model of
Hieronimus’s
painted
Woodstock bus
will be produced
by Sunstar
Diecast in 2008
in recognition
of Woodstock’s
40th
anniversary.
In 2006, he
painted his
first Artcar in
20 years,
transforming his
Mercedes 300 SD
into the
Biodiesel-fueled
“Founding
Fathers
Artcar” –
the only
bBiodiesel
Artcar in the
state of
Maryland and a
popular feature
in regional
parades.
Dr. Hieronimus
received his
Ph.D. from New
York's
Saybrook
Institute in
1981. His
doctoral thesis:
An Historic
Analysis of the
Reverse of the
American Great
Seal and Its
Relationship to
the Ideology of
Humanistic
Psychology.
His research on
the Great Seal
has been used in
the speeches,
literature, and
libraries of the
White House, the
State
Department, and
the Department
of Interior. His
Independence
Hall speech
on the Great
Seal's
bicentennial was
published in the
Congressional
Record, and his
research was
shared in a
personal meeting
with the late
Egyptian
President Anwar
El-Sadat. Inner
Traditions
published a
popular version
of Dr.
Hieronimus'
doctoral thesis
in 1989,
entitled
America's Secret
Destiny:
Spiritual Vision
and the Founding
of a Nation.
As a result of
this book, Dr.
Bob was featured
on documentaries
on the
National
Geographic,
Discovery
and History
Channels.
Secrets of the
Dollar Bill
has been
repeated dozens
of times on the
History Channel.
In March 2008,
his latest book
was released,
United
Symbolism of
America:
Deciphering
Hidden Meanings
in America's
Most Familiar
Art,
Architecture and
Logos,
the subject of
today's
conversation.
It tells
of how
the Statue of
Liberty, the
Liberty Bell,
the flag, the
eagle, the Great
Seal, and
Washington DC
became American
icons.
Hieronimus has
been a frequent
guest on radio
and television
talk shows
across the
country since
1967 sharing his
research in
metaphysical
symbolism, the
founding
fathers,
America's Great
Seal, and other
esoterica.
Over the years
his work has
been featured on
ABC World
News, The
Tonight Show,
PBS,
The Larry King
Show, The
Wall Street
Journal,
The
New York Times,
The Washington
Post, and
numerous other
publications. |

Nouk Sanchez & Tomas
Vierira
|
Australian born,
Nouk Sanchez
retired from a
successfu l
career in the
cosmetics
industry to
dedicate herself
to pursuing and
teaching
ego-release. In
1990, after
being introduced
to A Course
in Miracles,
Nouk and her
small spiritual
family embarked
upon learning
the Six Stages
of the
Development of
Trust. Nouk says
she learned how
to enter the
void, hold the
faith and see
the face of
Truth. A simple
and powerfully
transformative,
six-stage
spiritual
navigation guide
is the
culmination of
her work.
Tomas Vieira has
a strong
commitment and
desire to grow
with his family
that led to an
almost total
deconstruction
of his life and
belief systems.
Everything was
turned upside
down and inside
out. When he
finally emerged
from this
process he says
he realized that
his journey
paralleled that
of Nouk Sanchez
in terms of the
very clear
stages involved
in awakening.
Like Nouk, he
realized that
there was no
simple guide
available to
explain the
process of
undoing the ego
and discovering
Truth. As a
result, he
embarked on a
collaboration to
write Take Me
To Truth:
Undoing the Ego,
the subject of
today's
discussion with
Virato.

In 1840,
Illinois horse
farmer John
Hoxsey found his
prize stallion
with a malignant
tumor on its
right hock. As a
Quaker, he
couldn't bear
shooting the
animal, so he
put it out to
pasture to die
peacefully.
Three weeks
later, he
noticed the
tumor
stabilizing, and
observed the
animal browsing
knee-deep in a
corner of the
pasture with a
profusion of
weeds, eating
plants not part
of its normal
diet.
Within three
months the tumor
dried up and
began to
separate from
the healthy
tissue. The
farmer retreated
to the barn,
where he began
to experiment
with these herbs
revealed to him
by "horse
sense." He
devised three
formulas: an
internal tonic,
an
herbal-mineral
red paste, and a
mineral-based
yellow powder
for external
use. Within a
year the horse
was well, and
the veterinarian
became locally
famous for
treating animals
with cancer.
The farmer's
grandson John C.
Hoxsey, a
veterinarian in
southern
Illinois, was
the first to try
the remedies on
people, and
claimed positive
results. His son
Harry showed an
early interest
and began
working with him
at the age of
eight. When John
suffered an
untimely
accident, he
bequeathed the
formulas to the
fifteen-year-old
boy with a
charge to treat
poor people for
free, and to
minister to all
races, creeds,
and religions
without
prejudice. He
asked that the
treatment carry
the Hoxsey name.
Finally, he
warned the boy
against the
"High Priests of
Medicine" who
would fight him
tooth-and-nail
because he was
taking money out
of their
pockets.
By the 1950s,
Hoxsey was
riding what was
arguably the
largest
alternative-medicine
movement in
American
history. A
survey by the
Chicago Medical
Society showed
85 percent of
people still
using "drugless
healers."
Hoxsey's Dallas
stronghold grew
to be the
world's largest
privately owned
cancer center
with 12,000
annual patients
and branches
spreading to
seventeen
states.
Congressmen,
judges, and even
some doctors
ardently
supported his
quest for an
investigation.
Two federal
courts upheld
the therapeutic
value of the
treatment. Even
his archenemies,
the American
Medical
Association
and the Food
and Drug
Administration,
admitted that
the therapy does
cure certain
forms of cancer.
Then in the late
1950's the
AMA lobbied
legislators on
the federal and
state levels,
saying that
Hoxesy was a
quack, and on
the heels of a
California law
criminalizing
all cancer
treatments
except surgery,
radiation, and
chemotherapy,
the federal
government
finally outlawed
Hoxsey entirely
in the United
States in 1960
on questionable
technicalities.

It's time to
reconsider how
we deal with
money.
One of the
paradoxes of
money is that it
is increasingly
just blips of
information -
just a measuring
system that we
pretend is also
valuable - but
it does lead to
some
peculiarities.
Today Virato
chats with the
organizers
and members of
the Asheville
Local Exchange
Trading System,
LETS, and
live from
British
Columbia,
Canada, with Mike Linton creator of
the LETS system, and
also live
from Shanghai,
China,
James Taris,
author of
Travel
Without Money.
A LETS
advocate since
1994, Taris has
compiled an
international
LETS
directory
listing 1,500
community groups
in 39 countries.
The LETS system
restores local
economic control
through the
community
exchange of
services,
resources and
advice, unlike
direct trade
(where both
parties must
want what the
other offers and
exchange in
roughly equal
amounts),
LETS members
exchange
services for
credits (called,
simply, "lets"
instead of
"dollars") which
can then be
swapped for the
services of any
other member in
the network.
using a
centralized
record-keeping
arrangement
(often online)
to keep track of
transactions.
Members earn
lets" in ways
they could never
earn "dollars,"
and they can get
what they need
without spending
cash "dollars" |

Dr. Fred Bell
|
Virato chats
with
Dr. Fred
Bell, grand
nephew of
Alexander Graham
Bell, inventor
of the
telephone.
Dr. Bell's
family is
slightly
eclectic, and
some might say
eccentric. For
example, his
father, Allan
Bell, also a
scientist genius
brought the
London Bridge
from England and
put it in the
middle of the
Arizona desert
and built a city
with a pond
around it called
Havasu City.
Because of his
heritage. young
Bell was
propelled into
science at a
very early age.
At age 14, he
was not only
working at the
University of
Michigan on
nuclear energy
projects, but
was also
inducted into
the U.S.
government's
project called
M. K. Ultra.
This early mind
control research
covered such
topics as past
life regression,
and the popular
remote viewing
used today by
the CIA
and other
intelligence
gathering
factions
worldwide.
At 16 years of
age he moved on
to join the
U.S. Air Force.
Although
technically, he
could not wear a
uniform until
his 17th
birthday, he
began working in
the Air Force on
highly
classified
projects,
several
involving early
warning radar
defense systems
and the
detection and
tracking of
extraterrestrial
craft. He was
one of the first
to bring the
awareness of the
famed DDS
Form-213 to
public
awareness.
When people
began to
exercise their
freedoms to
previously
classified
information, it
was discovered
that the DDS
Form-213 was
used in fact by
the U.S. Air
Force to
report
internally to
the government
of the presence
of
extraterrestrials
and their craft.
Today Bell still
works on a
program known as
the
Disclosure
Project,
along with Dr.
Steven Greer, in
de-compartmentalizing
the various
agencies that
are working in
concert with
extraterrestrials.
His latest
best-selling
book,
Rays of Truth:
Crystals of
Light
covers these
topics in-depth.
After Bell's
time in the
military, he
worked in the
aerospace
industry on the
military version
of Star Wars,
laser
development,
submarine and
missile guidance
systems, and
finally the NASA
Apollo missions.
During this time
he worked with
he late Warner
von Braun and
Scott
Crossfield, of
X-15
fame.
After his NASA
related work,
Bell went into
the private
sector and
consulted to
over 3000
companies on
topics such as
computer
science,
biological
science, medical
science,
environmental
testing, quality
control,
weaponry,
aircraft
research, and a
variety of other
technical
realities.
He then left
this work and
began studying
with Himalayan
Masters. During
this time he
became
internationally
known as a
contactee to a
Pleiadean group
of
extraterrestrial
humanoids whom
were here to
help the people
on earth save
themselves from
their own
destructive
tendencies. This
group comes from
a star system
500 light-years
from earth. For
this effort the
Russian society
of cosmonauts
(astronauts),
awarded Dr. Bell
the
distinguished
scientific
progress award. |
