BIO BELOW FROM: http://www.metahistory.org/siteauthor.php

John Lash has been called the true successor of Mircea Eliade and the rightful heir of Joseph Campbell. Unlike those two world-class academics, John is a self-educated free-lance scholar who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach directive mythology: that is, the application of myth to life, rather than its mere interpretation. He is a leading exponent of the power of myth to direct individual experience and drive historical events over the long term. An expert on sidereal mythology, naked-eye astronomy, precession, and the World Ages, he also teaches the critique of belief-systems. On metahistory.org, he presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, with original commentaries on the Nag Hammadi codices. He also presents the only complete restoration by any scholar of the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries, the sacred story of Gaia-Sophia, recounting the origin of the earth and the human species from the galactic core.

Since October 2008, John Lash is teaching Planetary Tantra and interactive magic with Gaia through the archetype/icon of the Shakti Cluster, the Tantric Tree of Life. This material is intended to orient the general public toward free-form experimental mysticism grounded in an intimate commitment to the earth. His more controversial writings on Kala Tantra, Gaian sexual magic, can be found on KaliRising: Intimations of a Mystical Hedonist.

John Lash is the only scholar of comparative mythology so far known to have rewritten a classical myth, giving it a different outcome: Orpheus and Eurydice.

His published works are: The Seeker's Handbook (1991) , Twins and the Double (1993) , The Hero - Manhood and Power (1995) , Quest for the Zodiac (1999) , Not in His Image (2006).

Amy Vickers has been working with "The Starchild Project" since 2004, and is currently the Chief Of Operations in the US.

Having been a student of archeology at university in Australia, a webmaster and a surgical assistant for a dental surgeon, she was immediately taken by the meaning of the Starchild skull and joined the team, where she now oversees and maintains much of the entire operation. She was present for many of the turning points, including the cutting of the bone which revealed the fibers woven into the matrix of the skull itself.

"The Starchild Project" is an informal organization that has been working with an unusual 900 year old bone skull known as the "Starchild Skull" for over 12 years. In that time numerous experts have studied the skull, and come to the incredible conclusion that it is unlike anything previously seen on planet Earth. THE STARCHILD SKULL is a unique 900-year-old bone skull found in Mexico in the 1930s.

Dr. Goldberg’s Uniqueness

1. Dr. Goldberg developed the field of progression hypnotherapy, along with the superconscious mind tap-a healing technique through hypnosis.

2. He is the world’s foremost authority on futuristic time travelers. His books, Time Travelers From Our Future and Egypt: An Extraterrestrial And Time Traveler Experiment, are the only books written on true accounts of these futuristic time travelers.

3. His book, The Search For Grace, is based on the actual case history of a woman who solves her murder from a previous life in order to avoid the same fate in her current life. This case has been fully documented and stands out today as one of the most documented cases of reincarnation.

4. In Dr. Goldberg’s own words: "For several years I was a practicing dentist using hypnosis on my dental patients, while maintaining a separate and full-time practice using hypnosis to regress patients into their past and future lives. As my reputation spread, I gave up my dental practice and became the country’s only full-time hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression and future life progression(a field I developed)."
