PMH Atwater An international authority on near-death states, Dr. Atwater uses the culmination of her research to establish that the near-death phenomenon is not some kind of anomaly, but is rather part of the larger genre of transformations of consciousness. She combines her 33 years of near-death research with what she was doing in the 60s and 70s, experiencing, experimenting with, and researching altered states of consciousness, mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the transformational process, to reveal what transformations of consciousness really are, why we have them, and where they lead us. This lifetime endeavor covers over 43 years of work, involving nearly 7,000 people.

Her meticulous and unique protocol gives validity to what she has discovered and verified, and to the link that can be made between what is happening in the Middle East and the percentage worldwide of people who have undergone near-death experiences. A tipping point has been reached, a shared reality has emerged. . . for a leaderless, global, revolution in consciousness!

Her groundbreaking contributions continue with Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of The Story, examining the phenomena of:

Group experiences
"Heaven" and "Hell"
"Light" encounters
Aftereffects including unusual or amplified sensitivities
Spiritual transformations and societal implications

Basing her findings on extensive first person interviews as well as scientific studies of the deeper structures of the brain, Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of The Story is a rational examination of an experience that defies ordinary reason the first book to tackle this difficult and controversial subject from both the scientific and spiritual perspectives.

John Matarazzo
Soothe the Mind, Body and Soul with a blend of Ambient, New Age, Spa and World Music from new project Logical Drift

New York, NY (PRWeb) May 31dit, 2011 - Music veteran writer, composer, producer and performer, John Matarazzo, has been accompanied by legendary engineer and producer Logan Strand to form LOGICAL DRIFT; a new project with a whole lot of history. Over the years, Matarazzo has worked on major records, and performed with popular acts (Blood Sweat & Tears, Bob Dylan, Ike & Tina Turner, Sly & The Family Stone, etc.) where he was then led to work on more conscious and spiritually driven projects helping to create pioneering recordings of ambient and electronica music (John Zorn, Jah Wobble, Mick Harris and Buckethead).

Reaching success in these genres, Matarazzo then began to invite more established world artists to work with him on a variety of projects (Ravi Shankar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Herbie Hancock, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Gamelan Of Bali, Lata Mangeshcar, The Monks Of Notre Dame, and Buddhist Monks of Maitri Vihar Monastery Tibet). With an established world music catalog that expanded Matarazzo's existing discography, he then journeyed off to field recording and performance projects taking him to places as far away as Bali, Indonesia, Sumatra, Tibet, North Africa and Morocco, Mali and Thailand. Continuing his spiritual path, Matarazzo's interests grew into experimenting with psychological compositions and electronic music elements instituted by Karl Heinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez; adapting them to create psychological dreamscapes and aural environments designed to evoke spiritual responses from the listener that may heighten the listener's overall growth in spirituality. Synthesizing sounds in acoustic laboratories, Matarazzo was able to develop a palette of unique and emotionally resonant sounds from simple sine wave generators overlaying harmonic spectrums and resonating filters that infused evocative and sensual aural landscapes and alternative worlds.

Combining his knowledge of ancient spiritual systems, psychoacoustics and aural imaging, he composed soundscapes that heighten the listeners' sense of wellness and tranquility; stimulating the Chakra portals, thereby carrying the listener on a journey toward greater awareness and aliveness. His aim is to author music that will provide an important map for our wholeness and transformation, both personally and globally by opening the Chakra paths to enlightenment and integration.

Comprised of six thought provoking tracks, the first LOGICAL DRIFT project represents the most recent incantation of the musical concepts and explorations of Matarazzo's career in a community of ambient, world and new age music. Better said, the album notes tell us "From the ancient port of Joffa on the Mediterranean traveling east, across the windswept Judean Desert the weary caravan traveler comes to the legendary Oasis of En Gedi. Set on the banks of the Dead Sea; Covered in lush, hanging gardens, sparkling waterfalls and murmuring fountains, it is a place of relaxation and refreshment for body and spirit". Just listening to inviting track titles as 'Judean Desert' and 'Shenandoah Pslam', you'll be able to hear a soothing, yet almost healing ailment that can move listeners on a psychological and spiritual journey of pure bliss.

LOGICAL DRIFT has also created a New Age Definitions page to initiate an educational outlet. Understanding that likeminded projects within the alternative medicine, metaphysics, music therapy, musical healing, naturopathy and spa communities continue to support each other's overall initiatives in order to increase awareness within the ever growing alternative education and new age community, the LOGICAL DRIFT project will be developing a research network to aid in this effort. LOGICAL DRIFT is inviting all walks of life within the alternative education and new age communities to bring forth their projects for networking opportunities.

Kramer speaks on many fascinating subjects and is renowned for his unique blend of lucidity, empowerment, and authenticity. He travels widely with his writing and teaching work. He lives in Oregon, USA.

Neil Kramer’s new book “The Unfoldment” is in bookstores now.

Neil Kramer was born Nolan Salmon, in 1972, in Greater Manchester, England. He attended high school and then art college in the neighboring county of Cheshire. He went on to spend many years working in graphics and software, before finally devoting himself full-time to his enduring passion for mysticism and philosophy.

Kramer’s work focuses chiefly on consciousness, metaphysics, spiritual philosophy, and inner development. His material also encompasses more esoteric elements such as ancient mystery school knowledge, European medieval & early modern period mysticism, emanationism, and theories of divine ascendance.

Kramer is a self-proclaimed autodidact, almost entirely self-taught and self-directed, with a broad knowledge of philosophy, spiritual traditions, mysticism, psychology, and esoteric world history – all of which he uses to formulate his cosmology and practice. He has studied with several organizations focused on the wisdom of the ancient world, though is not formally affiliated with any specific groups. Kramer consistently highlights the importance of applying any abstract theory into the actual felt experience of everyday life before it can accrue any real value as true wisdom. He is known for frequently juxtaposing high-level intellectual metaphysics alongside hands-on, integrated life practices.

From 2006 to 2011, Kramer published essays, writings, audio interviews, and videos on his blog “The Cleaver”. The Cleaver became widely respected and referenced within free-thinking and alternative communities, attracting interest from various spiritual, metaphysical, political, religious, new age, conspiracy, and countercultural audiences. Kramer’s synthesis of spiritual insight, social comment, anti-authoritarianism, deep knowledge-base, inventive language, and no-nonsense approach, gradually built him a large international audience. An audiobook of his essays from 2006 to 2009 was released under the title of the Audio Cleaver in 2009, read by Kramer himself. In February 2011, much of The Cleaver content was moved to his new web site neilkramer.com, where there was additional emphasis on spoken word interviews. In May 2012, his book “The Unfoldment” was published.

Bill Chastain was born in 1941 in a coal camp in Harlan County, Kentucky, but was raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Bill then joined the US Air Force, an environment in which he thrived, and was promoted right out of basic training to become the youngest Drill Instructor in the Air Force.

After the military he took a job in an electronics factory, soon progressing into the research lab, then field project engineer designing and building steel mills and power plants. His company offered him a full scholarship to Pittsburgh University for engineering, but he turned it down.

Bill left Pittsburgh for Olympia, Washington where he managed very large pulp and paper mill construction projects. After forest products he entered aerospace, taking a job as a facilities worker in a Boeing Plant near Seattle. Soon he was managing projects, including the largest aircraft production facility in the world and the Boeing Japan Offices in Tokyo. After 13 years, Bill retired from Boeing as a self-taught Senior Strategic Analyst.

After Boeing, Bill traveled the world as an international trouble-shooter until 2006 when he returned to aerospace as a consultant with the Boeing Company. While at Boeing Bill began working with a medical discovery, later known as APeX. The first person exposed to APeX resolved their Stage IIIC Lung cancer in three months and word spread. Soon there were many cancer victims wanting to try this new discovery. Bill and his wife Emi decided to give up aerospace consulting and devote full time to APeX. That was almost five years ago.
