Dr. Robert K.C. Forman is uniquely qualified, both personally and professionally, to re-imagine the spiritual goal and the path to it. Personally, Dr. Forman hasn’t missed a day of meditation in 40 years. He broke through to the first major life shift he sought during a nine-month meditation retreat, just two years after beginning Transcendental Meditation. Further developments have continued through his gaining of a Ph.D. in mystical experience from Columbia U and his 20 years as a Professor of Comparative Religions, through his lifetime of yearly solo meditation retreats, self-reflection, 18 years of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic training, his marital work, his teaching, writing and leading of workshops, and his research into and national leadership role in the "spiritual but not religious" community.
His curiosity and confusion about his early spiritual breakthroughs led him to a Ph.D in Comparative Religions (Columbia U), where he specialized in the nature of and philosophical issues around mystical experiences and the spiritual life. He has often been called “one of the leading voices in the academic debates on mysticism," because of his work in the international scholarly debate about mystical experiences, which came to be known as “The Katz-Forman debates,” the work for which he has been awarded numerous grants and, just last year, an honorary doctorate. A tenured professor of religions at Hunter College of the City University of New York and a professor at Vassar College, Union Theological Seminary and the New School for Social Research, he often taught courses on mystical experiences and spiritual goals in every tradition, and his books are used in classes around the world.
Many of his insights about the spiritual path and goal came from his work as founder and Executive Director of the Forge Institute for Spirituality and Social Change and the Forge Guild of Spiritual Professionals, a non profit dedicated to helping people from any religion or spiritual path live “soul to soul.” He routinely gives lectures, trainings and workshops around the world. He was the co-founder and is executive editor of The Journal of Consciousness Studies , which has become the principle journal in the field. He is also the author of ten scholarly books on spirituality, mysticism, consciousness and world religions.
Elizabeth Sheehan - author of, The Trail: A True Tale of the Camino
How does one move forward in the turbulent decade after college? What happens when community evaporates, a job ends and relationships crumble? And what’s a girl to do when all three fall away simultaneously??? This was the crossroads that faced Elizabeth as she set off on the ancient Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Following the intuitive nudge from a recurring dream, she embarked on a six-hundred mile trek across Spain. The thousand-year-old pilgrim route carried her from high in the Pyrenees in France to a place on Spain’s Atlantic coast known as the end of the world. Along the way her solo journey would transform itself into a communal life filled with a cast of international characters, a group that would give her the chance to lay the past to rest and find new love.
Elizabeth Sheehan was born and raised on a farm in rural New Hampshire. She attended Bennington College where she trained as a modern dancer with Terry Creech and Dana Reitz. A particular focus of her dance work was on the evolving field of emergent improvisation. Her interest in this field led to a post-graduate year working for Bennington College. After Bennington, Elizabeth danced in New York City before taking a one year teaching internship at the Putney School in Putney, Vermont.
After Putney, Elizabeth decided to walk the ancient pilgrimage route from St Jean Pied de Port in the foothills of the French Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela on the west coast of Spain. Begun as a solo trek, this journey became an exuberant experience of community. Her abiding love for the Camino led her to walk the five hundred mile Camino three times and write a memoir about her first Camino called, The Trail: A True Tale of the Camino.
At present, Elizabeth works in research and development as well as in the main office at Green Hope Farm Flower Essences. During her trips on the Camino, she created three different Flower Essence collections for Green Hope Farm: The Camino Collection, The Healer’s Toolbox and Camino Tres. Her Flower Essences are sold worldwide.

Stan Romanek, International Bestselling Author, may be the world's most documented extraterrestrial contactee. The multitude of unexplainable events involving Stan Romanek and hundreds of witnesses continue on a near monthly basis. The sheer volume of trace, video and photographic evidence is astounding. Aside from any individual interpretations or opinions about these experiences, there is much for humanity to learn on these very important matters. Stan Romanek's case has created a stir in the scientific and UFO communities. He has received national news coverage, including a guest appearance on Larry King Live.
Stan Romanek’s hypnotic regressions, transcribed in The Orion Regressions, provide a dramatic explanation of why some of the ETs are here, their goals and purposes, and the far-reaching changes on the earth we may expect in the near future. The equations Romanek received during sleep and hypnosis suggest the involvement of an advanced ET intelligence. They have deep physical meaning, and convey new ideas far beyond Stan’s ability to fabricate. The regressions provided the chance to interact directly with this intelligence, to pose questions and receive answers
Stan Romanek books released this year:
Answers is more than the sequel to the bestseller Messages. When Stan Romanek walks into a UFO conference, he brings more than his whole life with him—he also brings the concealed story of our inseparable connection with extraterrestrial beings and celestial guides. Answers is his new conversation with all of us about how the universe is far more brilliant and beautiful than our fondest hopes. It will change everything you believe to be true at a quantum level.
The Orion Regressions, a companion volume to Answers, contains the full transcription of five regression sessions conducted by Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle to explore Stan Romanek's contact with extraterrestrial beings. During Stan's regression sessions it became apparent that something other than Stan was using his body to communicate. The Orion Regressions contains messages given through Stan Romanek by beings claiming to be True Orions. These beings brought forth a wealth of information vital to humanity. Shared by an Orion who calls himself Grandpa, the richness of this amazing information could only be realized fully by compiling the transcripts word for word in a book worthy of the information.

The Book, The Serpent and the Jaguar, by Birgitte Rasine
Gary A. David is an independent researcher and author who has been intrigued by the American Southwest since his initial trip there in 1987. The following year he lived for about six months in northern New Mexico, where he studied archaeological ruins and rock art. In 1994 he moved to Arizona and began an intensive study of the ancestral Pueblo People (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Anasazi) and their descendants the Hopi.
In 2006 after more than a decade of fieldwork and scholarly inquiry, his nonfiction book The Orion Zone: Ancient Star Cites of the American Southwest was published. This volume describes a pattern of Hopi villages and ruin sites that precisely mirrors Orion, with an ancient site corresponding to each major star in the constellation. (See map page.) The sequel released in 2008 is titled Eye of the Phoenix: Mysterious Visions and Secrets of the American Southwest. In 2010 the third book in the series called The Kivas of Heaven: Ancient Hopi Starlore was published. In October 2012 the next in the series titled Star Shrines and Earthworks of the Desert Southwest will be released. All four books are available from Adventures Unlimited Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and fine bookstores everywhere.
His articles or interviews have appeared in Ancient American, Atlantis Rising, Fate, Four Corners, Sagenhafte Zeiten (Erich von Däniken's "Legendary Times"), World Explorer, and UFO magazines. One of Gary's essays was also published in Lost Knowledge of the Ancients: a Graham Hancock Reader. Read a review of this anthology.

My Guest on Saturday is JZ Knight who is the unique channel of Ramtha and author of the best-selling autobiography, A State of Mind, My Story. Historians and religious experts who have studied her life's work call JZ Knight the Great American Channel and recognize her as one of the most charismatic and compelling spiritual leaders of the modern age.
JZ Knight and Ramtha have captivated and inspired audiences worldwide for the last three decades, bridging ancient wisdom and the power of consciousness together with the latest discoveries in science. JZ Knight has appeared on national TV shows, such as Larry King and The Merv Griffin Show, offering spiritual insight and inspiration to thousands of people from all over the world and all walks of life, including many well-known figures from the entertainment world.
JZ Knight is the president of JZK, Inc and Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, a unique academy located in the foothills of Mt. Rainier in Washington State. The school was established in the 1980s and hosts over 10,000 students from the United States and 60 foreign countries. JZ Knight is the "channel" through which Ramtha delivers his message. Ramtha is an ascended Master Teacher who learned in his lifetime the unlimited potential of our minds for creating reality and the extraordinary in our lives. Ramtha lived as a human being on Earth 35,000 years ago. In that lifetime he discovered the true nature of the human person, the power of the mind, and the malleable nature of physical reality. Through his study of the nature of reality he achieved the supreme convergence of spirit and matter and became an ascended master. His powerful message of hope for humanity has already changed countless lives - none more powerfully and dramatically than JZ's own life.
The School's approach is unique and innovative, combining many threads of contemporary scientific research that support the principle that God lives within each of us. The physical body and the material world are only one aspect of the real world. They are the product of a broader reality constituted by consciousness and energy. The human being is best described as consciousness and energy creating the nature of reality. We are divine beings by nature. Thus, a spiritual life that incorporates the material world rather than rejecting it and is accessible to everyone.
Ramtha's choice to channel the teachings through a woman, rather than use his own physical body also makes the statement that God and the divine are not the prerogative of men alone. Skeptics who deny the existence of Ramtha as a conscious entity capable of using another entity's physical body are thus left with a brilliant woman who can teach on all manner of subjects for days on end without fatigue or notes. It demonstrates that women are worthy expressions of the divine, capable of genius and of being God realized.
JZ Knight is also the President and owner of JZ ROSE, formerly The Outback Boutique, a treasure chest that offers vintage style gifts and collectibles, home furnishings, fine antiques and everything beautiful. JZ Knight's personal love for fine art, timeless antiques, and the nostalgic romanticism of the Victorian style inspired her to create a store where she could share the things she loved with other people.
Some of the main humanitarian charities JZ Knight has sponsored through the JZ Knight Humanities Foundation she created have been the empowerment of women, world peace, and education scholarships for children. Since 1988, JZ Knight has contributed more than $1,200,000 to 200 graduating High School seniors so they could pursue their educational goals. She has helped local church's charities aiding communities in Africa. She has also participated as the address speaker in international women's conferences affiliated with the United Nations and was one of the keynote speakers at the Prophet's Conferences inspired by the movie, What the Bleep Do WE Know!?
BIO BELOW FROM: http://nakamarukaoru.com/profile/indexE.html
The granddaughter of the Meiji Emperor, Princess Kaoru Nakamaru spent her early childhood in the Forbidden Castle in China. While at Columbia University and in graduate school, she furthered her research into international politics and since 1970, as a journalist, has interviewed kings and presidents, prime ministers and business people from many countries, and has given speeches, written books, and appeared on television as a commentator on international political affairs. In 1973, she was acclaimed in the U.S. magazine, Newsweek, as the "World's No.1 interviewer," and the Washington Post described her as "one of those rare women in the world with an outstanding international sensitivity."
Later, she was producer, director, and interviewer of her own Japan/U.S. talk show, for which she traveled to war-torn areas around the world and carried out positive discussions with the heads of state of those countries. Among those were Colonel Gadhafi of Libya and then-president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein--figures that were considered hostile by the West. Nakamaru even covered the frontlines during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-88) and video taken of it was shown to President Hussein who suggested that the war be immediately halted. The images of her broadcast on TV pressing President Hussein with the question "Why is this war being continued?" and asking Colonel Gadhafi, "Are you really a terrorist?" drew strong reactions. From those experiences, she exerted her energy into "personal diplomacy," serving as a go-between among warring countries, using her own funds.
In order to finance her "personal diplomacy," she bears all expenses. Kaoru's network of contacts include many "big names" of whom the staff at TV stations say "Even with our connections, there is no way we can approach these people," and this is linked to the fact that Kaoru, who is not affiliated with any organization, travels the world at her own expense and as a private citizen. Saddam Hussein, Moammar Gadhafi, top North Korean leaders, and other important figures that western journalists are unable to meet, talk with her-- the main reason being "Princess Nakamaru is not a person who is moved by personal motives and so we considered a meeting with her."
In response to her personal diplomacy Kaoru established the "International Affairs Institute for World Peace" in New York in 1985, and in 1991, the "Following the Sun Association" was organized for people aspiring toward peace. In doing so, royalty and presidents from various countries as well as cultural figures signed their names to the statement, "I endorse all of your activities," and these people have been welcomed as advisers and special members. Accordingly, this began in earnest a movement of enlightenment in which the realization of a "one world" policy where the "path of life" is based on mutual understanding and trust, and not on a "one world" policy where the "path of power" is based on military power and tension. Since her days as an interviewer, she has so far traveled to as many as 186 countries.
Nakamaru's aim is for a "world peace through human renaissance. Wealth, fame, power do not make humans happy, as true happiness is borne from a heart filled with love, harmony, and peace. When there is peace within the hearts of each person, from VIPs to average citizens, then world peace is realized. The phrase "one world" mistakenly conjures up a religious movement, but Nakamaru has absolutely no religion ties. Nakamaru believes in a religion of her own, but does not belong to any group, saying that "The world transcends all the many religions, races, ideologies so there cannot be just one.
As for her personal life, in 1966 she married Tadao Nakamaru, an actor who worked with Toshiro Mifune. She has a son and a daughter. In addition, she has maintained a close friendship with South Korea through its former prime minister, Kim Jong-Pil, and with North Korea through the late Kim Il Sung as well as Kim Yong Sun the Secretary of North Korea's Worker Party (who died in 2003 in a car accident), and has strived to improve relations between Japan and both Koreas as a bridge between the Japanese and Korean governments by bringing about the temporary return of a Japanese woman while at the same time acting as a mediator in bringing about a summit meeting between South and North Korea.
Rocky Anderson - Justice Party Presidential Candidate
Rocky has always been committed to the principle that justice - social justice, environmental justice, and economic justice - must be an essential aim of public policy. His heartfelt commitment to social justice is reflected in many of the numerous articles and columns he has authored for local publications. For instance, he has written articles for magazines on such diverse topics as ethics in politics, combating racism, and criminal justice reform. He also wrote a weekly column for The Enterprise, a Utah business newspaper, covering issues such as tax reform, valuing diversity, and the importance of character in public life.
Having been the only major city mayor who advocated the impeachment of President George W. Bush because of his disregard of intelligence data indicating that Osama bin Laden was about to attack the U.S. and his dishonesty to the American people in the lead-up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, Rocky has proven himself to be "non-partisan," forcefully demonstrating that the rule of law has been severely undermined by both major parties and by both Presidents Bush and Obama. Anderson has persuasively argued that despite his earlier belief that the Bush Administration would be merely an "aberration" in the history of the US, "President Obama has institutionalized some of the worst abuses of the Bush Administration" and has gone even further in establishing an imperial presidency that has fostered a two-tiered system of justice in the United States.
On August 11, 2011, Rocky denounced the Democratic Party and resigned his affiliation with it. He wrote in a letter to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that "The Constitution has been eviscerated while Democrats have stood by with nary a whimper. It is a gutless, unprincipled party, bought and paid for by the same interests that buy and pay for the Republican Party."
On January 13, 2012, Anderson accepted the presidential nomination of the Justice Party, a new national political party. The Party's primary principles are integrity, justice, and liberty for all.
The emphasis of Rocky's campaign is the promotion of the public interest through the defeat of the systemic corruption that has caused massive failures in public policy. Rocky advocates an immediate end to the on-going wars; essential health care coverage for all citizens; urgent international leadership by the U.S. to prevent against the most catastrophic consequences of climate disruption; adequate revenues to balance the budget through fair taxation; treatment of substance abuse as a public health, rather than criminal justice, issue; control of the Federal Reserve by the Treasury Department and Congress; a balanced budget (or a surplus) except in times of war or major recession; an end to the legal concept of corporate "personhood;" a constitutional amendment to overrule Citizens United and to allow limits or prohibitions on the corrosive impact of money in our electoral system; and an end to the stranglehold on our government by the military-industrial complex.

James Martinez
In the past 15 years Mr. Martinez has participated in the psychological elimination of over $800 million dollars of alleged credit card debt through legal countermeasures. More important than the virtual currency of alleged debt is the necessary reframing and re-education of the public through acoustic reconditioning processes that allow clients to understand and overcome obsolete thinking strategies in an age where debt behavior is the norm and socially conditioned mental illness installed through ignorance and media extensions of the central nervous system via the credit card are now our collective dis-ease. While these strategies are not limited to credit cards Mr. Martinez has successfully fought for the public in foreclosure issues on properties and successfully has empowered clients and listeners to take there power back and stand for there right to be free. A media ecologist by trade Mr. Martinez has made history in broadcasting by being the first in many platforms including initiating the Cold Fusion meme to the world and accurately predicting the media stance on man's greatest invention since the wheel. Since then ColdFusionNow.org has launched and the public and media have positively responded. Coming soon via 137Films.org James Martinez appears in "The Believers" discussing the ramifications of Cold Fusion and the technological effects that face the the public and culture at large. Mr. Martinez delivers complete "pattern interruption" with shocking delivery and humor in aims to wake the public up from the deep electronic hypnotic sleep where most of America resides. The "Cash Flow" show is the first Executive Produced radio broadcast in history that accurately predicted the release of cold fusion to the world months before its public announcement on "60 Minutes" thanks to Bob Neveritt and his team which was responsible for delivering mankind's greatest invention ever. Free energy.
Mr. Martinez has had a unique experience working in media. He's worked as a Casting Director, Manager, Producer, Actor and Radio Personality. Throughout his years in media Mr. Martinez began his education on the Board of Advisers of The Freedom of Thought Foundation with such luminaries as Walter Bowart author of "OPERATION MIND CONTROL" Col Thomas Bearden "The Excalibur Briefing" and Col. Fletcher Prouty "The Secret Team" during which time Mr. Martinez collaborated with Universities and members of the mental health profession fighting for cognitive liberty.

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading historians of the UFO phenomenon.
He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, as well as an analysis of the future, A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact. He is currently writing UFOs for the 21st Century Mind: A New Primer on the Greatest Mystery of Our Time, due out later this summer.
Richard’s work covers all aspects of the UFO subject, including its extraordinary history, the deep political implications, the mysteries of contact and abduction, ideas about the intelligences behind the phenomenon, the many scientific implications, the evolution of ufology, and considerations about the likelihood and impact of “Disclosure.”
He has written numerous articles, spoken at conferences around the world, is a frequent guest on radio shows such as Coast-to-Coast AM, and has done a great deal of television work.
Richard’s writing is widely seen as ufology’s gold standard. His seminal history, UFOs and the National Security State, has inspired such statements as “the best history ever written about UFOs” by best-selling author Whitley Strieber, and “masterful and important” by Dr. Edgar Mitchell of Apollo 14.
A.D. After Disclosure, which Richard co-authored with Bryce Zabel (creator of the television series Dark Skies), has been widely hailed as among the most original works in all of UFO literature, a fearless and analytical “what if” scenario that discusses the deep impact that would be brought about by the end of UFO secrecy.
Richard was born in Brooklyn, New York, studied at Alfred University and Oxford University, was a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship, and completed his graduate work in history at the University of Rochester. Prior to his interest in UFOs, he studied U.S. Cold War strategy, Soviet history and culture, and international diplomacy.
Richard lives in Rochester, New York, with Karyn Dolan and their two children.
