Ramon E. Lopez received his B.S. in Physics in 1980 from the University of Illinois, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Space Physics in 1984 and 1986, respectively, from Rice University. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Lopez is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). His awards include the 2002 APS Nicholson Medal, the 2010 Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Distinguished Scientist Award, the 2012 APS Edward A. Bouchet Award, and two NASA Group Achievement Awards. Dr. Lopez leads a research group that is working in both space physics and science education.

Dr. Lopez's space physics research interests are primarily in magnetospheric physics and space weather, as well as solar wind variations and what it tells us about solar activity. Topics of study include solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, magnetic storms and substorms, auroral dynamics and structure, current systems, particle energization, and space weather. The group is part of the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM), a Science and Technology Center funded by the NSF for which Dr. Lopez is a Co-PI and Co-Director for Diversity.  CISM research centers on detailed comparisons between observations (space- and ground-based) and the results of 3-D MHD simulations of the magnetosphere as a means of validating models for space weather prediction.  Other research focuses on solar wind-magnetosphere coupling during periods of large values of the interplanetary magnetic field. This work is supported by NASA and the NSF. The current activites of the research group may be found here.

Dr. Lopez's physics education research interests are primarily in issues related to spatial intelligence and visual cognition. Dr. Lopez is an Adjunct Researcher with the Spatial Intelligence Learning Center. In addition, he is one of the Co-Directors for UTeach Arlington. In 2003, he was elected Vice Chair of the APS Forum on Education and served as Chair in 2005. Dr. Lopez has also served various education-related committees of the AGU (American Geophysical Union) and the APS, and as a member of the Board of Directors of SACNAS. In the Fall of 2003, he was co-organizner of the Introductory Calculus-Based Physics Course Conference, sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers.

Dr. Lopez is active in K-12 science education as well. He has served as a consultant for a number of school districts around the country, as well as other organizations, particularly the National Science Resources Center. He has been a consultant to the Texas Department of Education for physics content in the STAAR end-of-course physics exam. He worked on the College Board Standards for College Success, coauthoring the physical science standards, and he was one of the authors for the 3rd edition of Active Physics. He is current one of the leaders of the team developing the Next Generation Science Standards.

Julia Assante is an established social historian of the ancient Near East (PhD Columbia University). Yet for over three decades she has also been an active professional intuitive. In her book, The Last Frontier: Exploring the Afterlife and Transforming Our Fear of Death, she applies the insights and methodologies gained from both fields in order to present a uniquely rigorous investigation of where we go after we die.

From 1977 to the present Julia has been an active professional psychic and medium. In addition to private sessions, she has taught workshops on remote viewing, healing arts and aura reading, afterdeath communication, remembering the future and reincarnational recall in the US, Canada, Germany, France and Spain, with the next one scheduled in Austria for February 2012. She has also coached physicists, medical professionals, entertainers and athletes to develop specific career-related psychic skills. She believes, however, that the real power of good psychic work is not about accurate information. It lies instead in its affect—the spontaneous revelation of a greater reality, the most important experience a person can have. Nothing brings that closer to home than afterdeath communication. Although it is a great wonder and privilege for Julia to assist the dying, officiate at funerals and contact the dead for others, what really changes people, what really heals and ends grief, what unveils the truth of immortality is making direct contact themselves.

Julia Assante received her doctorate in Archaeology and Art History of the Ancient Near East from Columbia University. On invitation, she studied the cuneiform languages of Sumerian (the first known written language) and Akkadian (the first known Semitic language) at Yale. She taught at Columbia, Bryn Mawr and the University of Münster and excavated in Crete (Minoan levels) and Israel. She has given talks at major universities and conferences in the United States and Europe and has written numerous scholarly articles. Her specific area of interest is religion, magic and sexuality, three categories that were closely interconnected in antiquity.

Rebecca Willman Gernon started writing at age 11 when she produced the Dolland News a small daily newspaper typed on her grandmother's old manual typewriter. She also wrote small plays and skits that she had her dolls perform.
Her career with the federal government included a great deal of writing, most of it boring and full of legal mumbo jumbo. In the evening she wrote humor.

Twelve years ago she took an early retirement and was given the opportunity to devote her free time to writing. Her first published story was a veggie fairy take about an eggplant. This was accomplished after two years of writing and submitting manuscripts.

Her plays have won awards or had reading in Missouri, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Virginia. Gernon has won a national food writing contest and paced third in a national humor writing contest. She has been published in a number of anthologies. Amy Signs, A Mother, Her Deaf Daughter, and Their Stories, which she co-wrote with her daughter is her first book. She is currently editing her humorous novel for the umpteenth time.

When I was 17 years old, over the course of six weeks, I heard a male voice speaking to me. I vividly remember stating, “I cannot hear you, you do not exist! I am not crazy, and no one is going to tell me I’m crazy.” At that time I had no knowledge or experience with the energies that exist in the universe. I was also sure that if my parents knew that I was hearing a voice they would have intervened with medical attention. Other than the strange voice, I lived an ordinary life, and went out of my way to avoid horror movies, ghost stories, and The Twilight Zone

     Throughout my life, people often said that I was “psychic.” I had a clear knowing about future outcomes in my life and the lives of others. I attributed this to “COINCIDENCE”. Tarot cards became a hobby for me when I was in my twenties, but my life continued in a mundane way. Eventually, I began reading Tarot cards for friends.

     Suddenly while shopping one morning, at a local supermarket, I saw my dead Aunt Doris who had passed on 15 years earlier. Aunt Doris, was speaking to me on a full sized Technicolor screen in my head! I abandoned the shopping cart and left the market. For the rest of that day I was sobbing and confused. Much later, I came to understand that my third eye had opened. While this may seem exciting to some, at the time it was completely overwhelming and scary. I had no knowledge base for this and without the support of my remarkable husband, I would have wound up medicated in a hospital

     Within a few weeks after seeing Aunt Doris, the first Archangel approached me. At first I ignored him, but then he unfolded his energy and spoke to me in a booming voice. I actually felt crushed by his energy and became short of breath. His name was Jophiel, and he continues to connect to me in his thunderous way, bringing messages and teachings.

     Now, at a critical point, I sat at the edge of a precipice the height of Mt. Everest. I had a choice to make. I could take a flying leap of faith or climb all the way back down. I took the leap and stepped beyond the fear. Over time I have been visited by many Angels and they have brought so much good into my life. I stand in gratitude as they continue their teachings with me to this day.

     My work as a psychic medium in Salem, Massachusetts has grown and I now work with clients all over the world offering guidance and support from the Angelic Realm.

"Future shock is not one big idea," Jim Channon whispered from the podium, "it's a thousand little ones."

How many business conferences open with a masked and robed master of ceremonies calling in the "muse" of the future of business? At the Global Mind Change Forum put on last weekend in Santa Barbara by the World Business Academy, that's exactly what Channon did - and the muse appeared, singing, dressed in a blue feathered robe, and slowly crossed the stage while Channon fell to his knees.

Channon is billed as America's first "corporate shaman," and is the originator of the popular concept of "corporate visioning," but he's also got the chops - and the credentials - to be taken very, very seriously, having worked as a consultant for ten of the world's hundred largest companies, and as lead futurist and educational technologist for the U.S. Army. His theatrical presentation marking the opening of the three day seminar was well received by the energized, if mildly astonished, audience of 250 business people from around the world, most of whom looked more like Men's Wearhouse customers than seekers of aboriginal wisdom.

As Channon closed his speech to great applause, one businessman who had come all the way from Great Britain turned to another and said in a tone of scandalized glee, "Can you imagine that guy speaking in London?!"

Jim Channon says he’s a shaman at heart, To AT&T, Du Pont, Whirlpool and others, he’s a consultant.

“Three things are missing from almost every organization I’ve been through,” he says “A sincere desire to love each other in a a brotherly way, an ability to incorporate spiritual values in their work, and an ability to do something physical together.” On all three counts he thinks modern corporations could learn from tribal cultures: “Just because those guys can’t make toasters doesn’t mean that singing together, dancing together, and telling stories around a fire isn’t a damn good thing to do.”

As a keynoter you won't get another podium bound pundit with a prearranged list of magic bullets. Jim doesn't do information. Jim will take you on a trip to tomorrow and load your imaginal mind with charged imagery that invites you into your own best choices... the choices that will make the difference in your world and the world of your enterprise.

He has illustrated and verbally charged the visions of ten of the worlds largest corporations. He is a model of creativity in an unforgettable combination. He has a "whole being intelligence" and all who witness this in action will have a new model of how to move into the future with all their senses working as one. He can aim a group at the precise vision they have suggested and evoke the deepest feelings of resolve to launch them on that path.

For the time he is with you he will be your futurist. And, since he leads the World Business Academy fellows on their quest to determine the best planetary vision for the next century .... he has the brain power of many of the worlds finest visionaries ... in his pocket. Because of his graphic language you will be able to see even your most complex maneuvers come clear. Imagine a football play without a chalk talk? Jim can do twelve dimensions on the same 1 X 2 meter white board. No more wandering in the dark. And he can finish it all off with an uncompromisingly beautiful strategic illustration you can use for years.

Kendall Ray Morgan is an amateur archaeologist and explorer who has conducted numerous field research projects locating and traveling to remote sites on the globe. He has extensively explored such areas as Mexico, Central America, South America and Hawaii while listening, learning and sharing with many different indigenous elders, metaphysical and esoteric teachers.

For more than 13 years, he has studied extensively the work of distinguished scholars such as Dr. J.J. Hurtak PhD at The Academy for Future Science https://futurescience.org/ , the late Jose Arguelles, author of the Mayan Factor, and the work of the late Mesoamerican Archaeologist Gareth W. Lowe of the New World Archaeological Foundation. He has also extensively studied the works of the late great Mayan Archaeologist Linda Schele.

At one time or another, Kendall has had personal contact and interacted with these respected scholars and a list of many other world renowned researchers, teachers and shamans too long to list here in following his imagination and passions for personal growth. These interactions have led him to the Lost Hall of Records of Atlantis in Yucatan, Mexico. Kendall now believes he has the proof of the existence of the Firestone Crystal of Atlantis as mentioned in Edgar Cayce's readings. He believes that he has come into contact with the crystal and knows the location of the temple and the Hall of Records to be found there. Only seriously interested parties should contact him for further information on these recent discoveries in the Yucatan.

Kendall went on many adventures in Central and South America in his quest for knowledge and ran into one of the world's most pre-eminent UFO investigators, the late Lt. Col. Wendelle Stevens (The real life Indiana Jones) several times in the jungles of Ecuador while tracking down Father Crespi and his private collection of Atlantean treasure troves.

Through his diverse teachers and multicultural background, Kendall believes that we are all related and nothing happens by mistake. He believes we are all here learning, growing, and refining ourselves through our experiences both individually and collectively while being embedded within the planes of cosmic consciousness. Kendall is a visionary who has experienced various spiritual healing expressions and modalities.

Kendall recently attended the Return of the Ancestors event, an international multicultural gathering and sacred pilgrimage welcoming indigenous elders and future wisdom keepers. The event, held in Northern Arizona, was hosted by the Institute for Cultural Awareness organizations, Drunvalo Melchizedek and a host of respected indigenous elders. It was a humbling experience for Kendall and he considered it an honor to be with so many other beautiful like-minded brothers and sisters.

Kendall was guided to bring the crystal skulls together first at the 09.09.09 Crystal Skulls World Mysteries Conference in Tempe, Arizona. After that, Kendall heeded the call of the ancient crystal skulls to move on and he founded Oracle Stone Productions. In 2010, Oracle Stone Productions teamed up with Alan Steinfeld of New Realities Television and the Edgar Cayce A.R.E organization in New York City to produce the 10.10.10 event in NYC that was called Legend of the 13 Crystal Skulls, They brought together the ancient crystalline artifacts of time, their guardians and the Legendary Mayan Elders with their messages for the world at this event and at a special meeting at the United Nations.

In 2011, Oracle Stone Productions produced 11.11.11 Crystal Skulls Gateway in L.A event bringing the ancient crystal skulls to the West Coast.
