Guest Occupation: Mayan Pope, Keeper of the Mayan Book of Creation, Maya Moral Authority
Guest Biography:

Don Tomás Calvo, the highest moral authority of the Maya, described as the Mayan Pope.

The head of the Order of the Mayan Lords and keeper of the Popol Vjuh or Mayan Book of Creation, Don Tomas Calvo led a delegation yesterday of Mayan elders to the United Nations, where they performed a special ceremony and addressed indigenous people and members of the U.N. Security Council from Guatemala in observance of U.N. Day.

Calvo told members of the United Nations: "I bring the knowledge of my ancestors to the Earth that holds the thoughts of all those who believe another world is possible...To you, representatives of the peoples who share our planet daily, I bring the voice of my people on my way towards the end of a period of time we call Oxlajuj B'aqtun and before the opening of a new era which we enter with joy and harmony." He emphasized that events are now accelerating at a rapid pace and that pace will continue to speed up. What previously took decades is now taking months and what used to take months is now taking days. The changes ahead are likely to happen fast and furious and yet present rare opportunities for human growth and the establishment of new priorities for the human race.

Guest Occupation: CEO, Free Energy Technologies Researcher, Exotic Energy Explorer, New Energy Congress Founder, Writer, Speaker, Radio Show Host
Guest Biography:

Sterling Allan is the primary driving force behind PESN.com, FreeEnergyNews.com, NewEnergyCongress.org and most recently http://EnergyNEST.org

Pure Energy Systems (PES) Network, of which he is CEO, is the premier news, directory, and networking service whose mission is to find and facilitate the best exotic free energy technologies. In May, 2012, Sterling founded the New Energy Systems Trust to help bring these technologies to market.

PES is aided by the New Energy Congress, which Sterling founded in 2005 as an association of energy professionals from around the world who review the most promising claims to existing and up-and-coming breakthrough energy technologies that are clean, renewable, affordable, reliable, easy to implement, safe, and legitimate. From this ongoing review, they generate a Top 100 Clean Energy Technologies listing.  More recently, they shifted their focus to "exotic" modalities, emphasizing the Top 5.  They also endeavor to facilitate the emergence of some of the more promising exotic technologies into the marketplace.  

Sterling has made the term "free energy" more acceptable by relating it to solar, wind, geothermal, and other well-understood technologies; while also making the more exotic approaches not seem so crazy. 

Prior to his focused involvement in free energy over the past eight years, Sterling was an activist in promoting principles of freedom and defending them against forces conspiring to establish world tyranny. For example, he spearheaded the "Draft Ron Paul for President in 2004" signature campaign. When Paul declined, Sterling threw his own hat in that ring. 

He is presently involved in launching an intentional community, Safe Haven Villages, featuring sustainable building and growing methods and utilizing renewable energy. Sterling's graduate studies at BYU and the University of Arizona were in Bioelectrochemisty, studying the interaction between external electrical stimuli and physiological systems.

Sterling is the founder of a dozen-plus organizations whose functions range from preparedness and alternative religious and political thinking; to defining, teaching and researching better ways to live as a society. He has proven experience in creating, managing and sustaining organizations, as well as in using websites as a way to teach, publish and disseminate information.

Guest Occupation: Light Worker, Healer, Reiki Practitioner
Guest Biography:

Like many light workers, Stephanie Lodge didn’t find the light, the light found her. For the past twenty years, Stephanie has spent hundreds of hours researching spiritual methodologies, healing modalities, ancient mythologies and truth movements in order to acquire enough knowledge to understand the real purpose of life.  It wasn’t until she stopped searching, however, that the truth finally came streaming in with little effort. Over time, the information she received in “channel” would be validated in different ways, giving her the confidence she needed to guide others with the knowledge she received.  Not only were her channeling sessions informative, but soon she was guided to do a new method of healing that combined several rays (or streams) of light specific to balancing the planetary “shift” of human consciousness.

She calls these rays “angelic” because the term “angel” comes from the word “angle,” which is an important aspect of light – its geometry. Angels are simply concentrated beings of light, like mobile stars or starlight if you will, that can stream their divine consciousness into a human mind in channel. Through this mind the “angelic light stream” flows, providing light as knowledge, healing frequency, sound vibration or any other form it chooses to create.  It is a power and a privilege that Stephanie feels honored and humbled by.  She’d like to say that there was some “miracle” or specific event that was the precursor to her suddenly being able to channel in angelic wisdom, but truthfully it was simply her intention and desire that connected her to the light and its emissaries.

Today, she uses her connection to the “stream” to provide healing and guidance to individuals and groups, with often profound effects. As founder of Angelic Light Stream, Stephanie is constantly revising the ALS programs as new information emerges, currently completing the Halonetix System for Ascension and perfecting Conscious Light Training techniques that allows others to begin their own journey into streaming directly from Source.  She is also working on a series of young adult novels to help the next generation of light workers begin their own journey into enlightenment.  On a practical side, she’s a certified Reiki I Practitioner, and is currently exploring other certifications, like Integrative Energy Therapy and Quantum Transcendence to learn additional techniques to enhance her existing intuitive methods.

Guest Occupation: Academic, Neurosurgeon, NDE Experiencer, Researcher, Scientist, Spiritual Explorer
Guest Biography:

Dr. Alexander, a renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent 54 years honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that — completely!

He was shocked to find the hyper-reality of that spiritual realm, which many had reported in NDEs. He has spent the last two and a half years reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. His spiritual experience is totally consistent with the leading edges of scientific understanding today.

Together, science and spirituality will thrive in a symbiosis offering the most profound insight into fundamental Truth, yielding unimaginable power. The keystone is in global progression of individual conscious awakening.

Many in both the scientific and religious (or spiritual) realms must denounce their addiction to prejudiced, closed-minded, dogmatic beliefs, in order to open our awareness to this novel synthesis of understanding Truth.

By probing deeply into our own consciousness, we transcend the limitations of the human brain, and of the physical-material realm.

The spiritual realm is real. Seamless blending of science and spirituality will occur. His book will be available in North America October 23, 2012, and in many other countries (and languages) soon thereafter.

"Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious." — Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

Guest Occupation: Animal Communicator
Guest Biography:

As far back as I can remember I’ve been able to communicate with animals. When I realized that other people didn’t “do that”… that I was “different”… I blocked out my ability for many years. It was only after barely surviving an explosive car crash that I remembered to speak with animals…and allowed them to help me through an excruciating recovery.

Having the aid of your animals, who know you better than anyone and want so much to help you, can guide you through life’s challenges. Each of us has the ability to talk with animals. Holding conversations with my dog, Makeba and my horse, Magic saved my life, and I wanted to share that gift of communication with other people.

Most people come to me because they see a problem with their pet, like a dog that’s barely eating, or a horse that’s become very anxious. When I suggest that the problem may actually lie with the person, I usually get a surprised reaction. Animals often take on their person’s issues, and may manifest them in self-destructive behaviors.

I worked with a client recently whose dog was having terrible digestive problems, and the vet couldn’t figure out the cause. When I talked with the dog, she said her mouth was burning. She said she wanted her mother to stop drinking the “burning liquid”. My client began crying. She realized her drinking was hurting her dog, and she resolved to get help. Because my client couldn’t telepathically hear her, the dog began demonstrating concrete, visible symptoms.

As an animal communicator, I’ve heard many stories like this. Our animals trust us, and know us deeply. They want to help. I’ve helped hundreds of clients to understand their animals better, and strengthen this wonderful bond.

He’s also a regular at American Law Enforcement Agencies and was asked to train dogs in bomb detection at the Mount Everest Kennel Club in Kathmandu. Steve is a more of a steak and chips kind of guy but he trained the first ever truffle detector dogs.
