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.

Guest Biography:

Joy Turner has been the bridge between thousands of animals and their humans. She is a spiritual teacher and leading animal communicator with clients around the world.

Being able to understand animals has been with me my whole life. I was born with the two most important qualities to be able to effectively and completely communicate with all species. First, a deep, abiding love for all life and animals in particular; and, second, the belief in animals' equality with humans. Communicating with all species is a natural ability I was born with, and my parents, instead of teaching me out of it, had the grace to allow it to be and encourage me.

It is through this deep, abiding love, respect and honor that animals have come to trust me to accurately and completely deliver to their humans any message they choose to communicate. They trust that no matter what is said, I will deliver the message exactly as it was given to me; without translation, using the exact words and thoughts, even the exact tone and inflexion if they want me to, so that their humans hear all the nuances of what they have to say.
