John D. Riley, Researcher of Alternative Energy/Science
With a diverse background in Top Secret military projects at Lockheed Aircraft to 20 years in the Motion Picture business with his own Special Effects company, working on some of the industry's top films, John Riley decided to take his knowledge and experience to a much higher level. Since the age of 8, John was fascinated by the energy systems developed by the early great inventors, such as Nikola Tesla and George Lakhovsky. He has been researching and studying these early discoveries and has re-discovered missing technology and lost meanings behind these origins of power. It is with great passion now that he has combined his expertise in the field of engineering and his understanding behind these early inventions to create his own Radiant Energy system, called the Lifestream Generator. Zero Point Research, John's research facility in Santa Monica, CA is also open to the public to receive Lifestream sessions by certified practitioners. Zero Point Research is where John goes down the rabbit hole daily.
Charlene Peters left the D.C. social scene to become Isis Aquarian, a member of a California commune called the Source Family, where she became one of the 14 wives of a charismatic leader, Jim Baker (a.k.a. Father Yod and YaHoWha).
Isis Aquarian was probably the very first of the Source Family Members to actually find "Father" - as Jim Baker - while he still owned the Old World Restaurant. This was long before "The Source" days . . . or Father Yod.
Isis' name was Charlene Peters, and Jim was the husband of her friend, Dora. He was a well-known man-about-town. Charlene was born into an Air Force family in 1942, the eldest of 7 children. She graduated from high school in Florida and moved to Washington, DC, to work with Senator Gurney and then became a White house aid under President Johnson. She moved to New York to work for Braniff Airlines and then on to LA - at the height of the Hippie/Flower children movement - where she worked with, modeled for and later became engaged to Ron Raffaelli, a famous Rock Music photographer.
After Jim Baker had created the Source Restaurant - and begun to recognize himself as "Father" - she reconnected and just walked out of all that was her life and joined him and the nascent Source Communal Brotherhood on their Spiritual odyssey. Isis, also affectionately known during Family days as "The Dragon Lady", was personally appointed by Father to be the Source Family’s archivist, historian and the “Keeper of the Temple”. Besides being one of the leaders of the Family and a very active Member of the 13-woman Council (which Father appointed to handle Family business and issues), she was one of the most active photographers of Father and the Family and filmed, recorded audio (particularly each of Father’s morning “Classes”), maintained scrapbooks, helped take care of Family business and was one of Father’s 14 wives.
She has a daughter named Saturna, from the days of the Source Family, who is married, living in Hawaii and raising her first-born, Alana.
Isis has remained Father/YaHoWha's wife, became the Aquarian Nun and now The Aquarian Crone. Cronehood is the last stage of the Goddess Trinity ~ the Elder. Isis remembers having visions and psychic experience from childhood. She lives in Hawaii and travels as events dictate.

Sifu Christopher Lee Matsuo
Internal Martial Arts Research Institute
Director of Baguazhang
Grandmaster of Dragon Gate Sanctuary
In 1993 Sifu Chris moved to Honolulu and opened schools in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, Yamabushi Ryu Shugendo, Hirai family Reiki (Hirai Shiki – the Hirai family were the last students of Usui Sensei), and Baguazhang. He also started training with Wu Xiao Shr in the Wu family Arts of Wudang, Kunlun and Tibetan kung fu, shamanism and qiqong, and, the hard to acquire, Wudang Snake Bagua which is believed the original Baguazhang.
In 1995 he opened a school for Wudang Baguazhang and a school of healing drawing from Mikkyo, Hirai Shiki, Reijutsu, Jin Shin, Tibetan Bon, and Taoist medicine. Currently, he is only training closed door students, four apprentices in ancient Japanese Mikkyo healing , and his daughter.
Sifu Chris also has a successful acupuncture and Tibetan medicine practice and works at The Path Clinic for Women. Periodically, he is a guest teacher for the Remington College Massage Program, gives private instruction and guidance in spiritual growth, and teaches at annual seminars at the Palmetta Jujitsu Academy and Healing Center in South Carolina, Vance Inouye’s branch school in Arizona, Melvin Tabilas’ branch school in Los Angeles, and Hasting Albo’s branch school in Texas.
Dr. Stephen J. Iacoboni is a dedicated doctor, an award-winning researcher, and an outdoorsman who finds solace and rejuvenation in nature. He is a businessman, a father of grown sons, an oncologist who has fought the good fight beside his patients for three decades, and an author who has chronicled the spiritual journey on which his career has taken him in his book, The Undying Soul, a book for cancer patients.
In his own words, Stephen Iacoboni tells us:
As an oncologist, I fight cancer. But I have also found that more often than not, the close personal bonds I form with my patients are as important to them as their medication. Those bonds have certainly become a part of my life, reminding me that every patient deserves a healthy dose of humanity with whatever else we medical professionals prescribe.
My journey as a doctor has been both professionally rewarding and intensely spiritual. While I began my medical career as a scientist, patient by patient an evolution took place. My patient-guides have shown me that despite the power of medical science, it is often the strength of the soul we must call upon to help us heal — or to accept that we will not. More than my story, The Undying Soul book is meant as a tribute to these patients, a primer for people facing life’s last and greatest mystery — and for those who travel with them — and as solace and comfort for those taking this difficult journey.
I invite you to join me in my journey and in the journeys of a handful of my patients — to join us in celebrating The Undying Soul.
In a tribute to the power of faith, personal connection, and the belief that there is something more, Stephen Iacoboni, MD, reminds us what he so poignantly learned from his patients — that death is not an end, but a beckoning, and that wholeness of spirit and freedom from doubt open the way for all of us to The Undying Soul.

* The first person in the world to bring a dog from the USA to England on Passports for Pets.
* The author of sixteen published books (pretty well all of which have the Jesus guy in them—as a mentor, friend and supporter).
* An expert on interpreting ancient Kabbalah (including Biblical Kabbalah) in easy and accessible terms for the modern world.
* An expert on Bible metaphysics i.e. how to read this incredible book on four levels including the mystical and metaphysical and make sense of it in your own life.
* An expert on the lives of women in Biblical times including Mary Magdalene and the Old Testament Matriarchs and Heroines.
* I regularly teach Kabbalah in the Masonic Lodges in Washington DC.
* I use Kabbalah to help define the Biblical teachings on prosperity to help people recover from the belief that wealth is somehow wrong for the spiritual. This is a fabulously abundant world and it is our right and our spiritual duty to experience, enjoy and teach on the wonders of a prosperous life.
* A stand-up comedian. Yes that does seem rather at odds with the rest, but it’s my latest calling and I love it. Time perhaps to laugh about the sacred cows of religion that stop us making direct contact with the Divine.
BIO BELOW FROM: http://www.pharmamyths.net/
Donald Light is a professor of comparative health care at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, School of Osteopathic Medicine. He is an economic and organizational sociologist who compares health care systems and analyzes health care policies. He has written about the history and dynamics of health care markets and health care insurance, countervailing powers, the medical profession, immigrants and health care, and global justice.
As a founding fellow of the Center for Bioethics, Light is concerned about the high prices of medicines and barriers to their access. His research aims to provide a demythologized, more realistic account of costs, relative effectiveness and harms, and innovation than is promoted by commercial interests and sponsored academics. He is concerned that current incentives, laws, and regulations encourage companies to develop many new drugs with few advantages, rather than focusing on really superior new drugs. In the long run, this does not serve the major companies or society well.
