Douglas Newsom is co-founder and CEO of BBS Network, Inc. (BBS Radio)

I am also a traveler, excited at new things, enjoying the experience, and living in the moment! I am a reader, writer and poet, with an entrepreneurial, mathematical mind. I love to theorize, think and meditate, but I hope not to miss an opportunity for play!

I am a kind and romantic soul, with a grand zest for life and the desire for exploration. I am humorous and thought provoking with old fashioned manners. I enjoy fine wine, unique cuisine, and conversations about unusual subjects.

I am a spiritual person. I am a true believer in diversity and synergy, and the power of thought! I believe everything ever created has purpose, is perfect, and will change!

I have reached higher levels of consciousness; increasing my capacity to love and be aware in the present; to understand information quickly and to connect to all that is.

I have used meditation to gain i, and I accept people for who they are. But I do not hang around forever! I am too complex, too intelligent, and too quickly bored.

I love to work with my hands; woodworking, landscaping, and just about any home project. I build companies for a living, so it’s no different with other creative outlets, I like to build! When an activity allows me to drift without thinking or stress, like wood working or playing an instrument, it’s a treasure.

My humor is abundant, intense and often dry.

If someone’s emotions are indiscernible to the naked eye, and yet every action they take, or movement they make, is on a comic par with John Cleets – I’m their huckleberry! But, if you’ve stopped laughing at yourself, allow me! I’m still bemused by seeing a lady turn down a polite request to dance! If I find you’ve stubbed your toes, because you over-paid for a trendy pair of shoes, or purchased a size too small to fit, I will laugh! I find that quite funny really!!

If survival depends on scheming, plotting, thinking, and wondering how to guard yourself, get your piece, and do it fast! Don’t make me spank you!

I prefer to hang among those whom Aristotle would have found interesting!

My faults (and this is tough to write about): I sometimes lack patience. I can appear somewhat aloof. I allow others to walk on me at times. I am extremely outgoing, but I rarely do extracurricular activities, perhaps because lately I’ve put too much emphasis into work and not enough into life. I can be stubborn. I am a charmer. I’m self actualized so I often overlook or reluctantly listen to stories of woe. I am just too damn optimistic. I am somewhat old fashioned, and may be  too much of a romantic, because I like to open doors, pull out chairs, and walk on the correct side of a sidewalk. And, whether I can afford it or not, I usually pay the tab!

"Is it possible to walk with one foot in the “seen” and the other in the “unseen”? I sure hope so, because I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m doing! I like to think of myself as an “ordinary” woman, living an extraordinary life."

As the character “Kerry”; I am a mother of three, a wife of one, a seeker of truth, and a lover of things seen and unseen. I am the writer, director, and star of my very own movie. (It’s fun to think that somewhere in the multiverse, there are beings eating their versions of popcorn, watching movies starring us!)

I have been trying to fit the puzzle pieces together since I was a young child; this is a trait that has fueled my curiosity in ways I couldn’t begin to imagine!  A few years ago I began asking questions that appeared to infuriate folks. It seemed the more I asked, the more divided people became. Was it me or the times we’re living in? I began seeing agendas everywhere I turned, and they weren’t benevolent. It became clear that there was an underbelly to this world we live in....  

One particularly grand “a-ha” moment was born from the realization that the information we are constantly bombarded with sits in my very own living room: my TV! At the risk of sounding paranoid, I couldn't help but feel that most of the underlying messages were those of fear! How does one NOT subconsciously tune their frequency to the fear channel?  For me, my fear-frequency tuned to the cancer station. According to our media, it was just a matter of time before it was my turn in the oncologists chair. Oddly (a-hem) enough, I did in fact get cancer. 

I’m happy to report that this little blip was just the wake up call I needed to get me steered in the right direction! This served as the opening to the communication with my guides or “team” as I like to call them. Once this happened, there was no looking back. My world opened up in ways I could never have begun to imagine! It was as if I’d hung the “open for business” sign in the window! 

Interestingly, the spiritual components to my life were there all along, I just didn’t recognize them. For example, I’ve seen spirits my entire life... I’ve channeled my entire life.... I’ve seen timelines and dimensions my entire life. I just didn’t know what I was seeing. It took three encounters with recently crossed spirits, a moment with James Van Praagh, and a wild message (from Spirit) in my kitchen cabinet, for me to “get it”. 

Now that I “have it”... what do I “do” with it? 

For starters, I have an online show Alice Eats the Apple The show was created with the intent of ‘normalizing” the metaphysical. I love to joke (not really, it happens more times than you’d think!) that we may be sitting in our mom-cars, waiting in the carpool line, working on our astral traveling skills!  I'm also just beginning my blog.

I am a mother. I am a wife. I am a room-mom. I am a coach. I am an energetic frequency holder. I am a grid anchor. I am a soul path recalibrator. I am an infinite being. I am here to remind you that you are, too.

Since 1977, Dr. Hearon has delivered high-quality chiropractic care to patients wishing to eliminate their pain and optimize their wellness potential. At Boise Sports Chiropractic Clinic we welcome people from all walks of life, with a particular focus on sports chiropractic and extremity problems. We emphasize a customized approach to care; our goal is to get you back in the game of life quickly.

A Profession That Gives Back

Dr. Hearon earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. As a student at this prestigious institution, he was also involved in athletics, including Palmer’s nationally famous rugby team. He was also on the arm-wrestling squad. Observing the many shoulder, wrist, elbow and knee injuries his fellow teammates had to endure, he was frustrated with his inability to help them. At the time, the college did not teach the mechanics of extremity adjusting.

His desire to help others was so strong that Dr. Hearon willingly became the “odd duck” of his class. He began to take off-campus extremity classes and quickly learned how chiropractic extremity adjusting added value to sports performance and overall spinal balance.

A Pioneer in His Field

Through his tireless personal development of adjustment protocols, Dr. Hearon is today considered a pioneer in the field of extremity adjusting. Here are just a few of his many accomplishments:

• Membership in 16 postgraduate faculties around the world.
• Author of many extremity adjusting textbooks. These study guides are used by the majority of expert sports chiropractors today to help them perfect their craft.
• Coordinator of 15 extremity adjustment instructors internationally.
• Informally known by his peers as “the doctor’s doctor.”
• Lecturer to 50% of chiropractors in the world over a 37-year period. Thirty-seven of those years took him to numerous international destinations to teach his colleagues the intricacies of extremity adjusting.
• President of the Council on Extremity Adjusting. Dr. Hearon has also developed a 105-hour training course for chiropractors to become certified in extremity adjusting through this foundation. Graduates of the course are given the designation of Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP).

He is also a member of the Idaho Association of Chiropractic Physicians (IACP) and has CCSP certification.

'ROCK DOC' NEW BLOCKBUSTER BOOK

TOURING W/EDGAR WINTER-EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER-PINK FLOYD-ETC.

ANESTHESIOLOGIST AND EXPERT IN THE USE OF PROPOFOL

MICHAEL JACKSON'S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

Neil Ratner quit college in the late sixties and traversed the Hollywood celebrity world as a successful road manager for names like Edgar Winters White Trash and tour manager for Emerson Lake and Palmer. He established a full-service production company (a pioneering approach at this stage) to support the artists on tour and worked with T-Rex, Genesis, Pink Floyd and many others. Later in his career he managed the successful songwriter Denise Rich and built Dream Factory studios in NYC. Denise was the wife of Marc Rich, (one of the world’s most successful commodities traders, indicted in the largest case of tax evasion ever brought against an individual in the US at that time) After his successful career in the music industry he decided it was time to follow his heart and pursue his other childhood dream of becoming an MD. Even though not a single American school wanted to take him, he didn’t give up and moved to Mexico to get his medical degree. He made it back into the American system and after many years of residency Neil became an anesthesiologist. Traditionally anesthesiologists worked in hospitals, but Neil had other ideas. He was the first to take the practice of anesthesia out of the hospital and into doctors’ offices in NYC. When Propofol became available in the U.S. in the late 1980 s Neil was one of the first to become expert in its usage as it was a perfect drug for office use. His relationship with the top plastic and reconstructive surgeons in New York allowed him to treat a number of high-profile patients. That is how Neil met Michael Jackson. He became his personal doctor and a close friend. They had a lot in common. Neil accompanied the star from late 1997 until his last performance in 2001. Neil became a trusted friend of Michael's from 1994 to 2002, periodically going on tour and spending time with Michael at Neverland.

Rock Doc is Neil’s remarkable journey about Rock & Roll and Michael Jackson, Nelson Mandela, a prison sentence with very unexpected results and how helping the poorest of the poor became a key part of his life.

ROCK DOC will take you from backstage at a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon concert in the early seventies, where Neil's production company, Circus Talents, Ltd. was providing production services, to the office operating rooms of elite New York surgeons where Neil Ratner MD was Director of Anesthesia. Neil was an aspiring rock n roll drummer but ended up on the other side of the business working as both a tour manager for Emerson, Lake, & Palmer and providing production for the Pink Floyd. After a bad attack of kidney stones and a stint in the hospital, Neil had an epiphany and decided to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a doctor.

DAVID YOUNG

David Young is a musician who plays two renaissance flutes at one time in harmony. He has recorded 60 albums and sold over 1,000,000 copies. He is a healer, channeler, author and abstract artist.

It is said that more people have had out of body experiences while listening to his music than other musician alive today.

David is on tour throughout the country for 40 weeks out of the year, presenting his healing workshops, A Portal Between Heaven and Earth.

More than 6,500 people have shared their experiences with the Ascended Masters, Archangels and/or loved ones on the heavenly side.

David’s ability to open the channels to the ethereal realms is a direct result of his personal connection to the ascended masters combined with the extraordinary reach of the sound frequencies of his music.

The personal experiences and documented feedback at David’s events are nothing short of phenomenal!

People consistently share their experiences with either Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, Quan Yin, or Mother Mary. Others have experiences with Edgar Cayce, Gandhi, George Harrison, John Lennon, Ravi Shankar, and the Egyptian Goddess Isis. 

Three people at one event saw Jesus standing in the exact same place in the room and he gave each of them the same inner symbols.

Two women sitting next to each other at one event both described experiencing Quan Yin standing between them.

On separate evenings, two people had the exact same experience with Buddha who brought them to this gigantic tree (The Tree of Life) that was so tremendous it was beyond their description of words.

Violetta, who has cancer, has been visited six times by Jesus, George Harrison and John Lennon at events as they are helping her to heal. After living with 10 out of 10 horrible pain from her treatments the week before the last event she was pain free for 48 hours afterwards.

A woman (whose son had Down Syndrome) had a Soul to Soul experience where he was syndrome free on the inner and he explained why he had that disease in his current life.

David was given nine words to give to a woman, “I am Strong, I am Protected, I am Confident.” Afterwards she shared that Archangel Michael had come to her the previous week and gave her the same nine words and told her to write them down.

At one particular event a woman was visited by Martin Luther King, who said he had some work for her in a couple of days. She shared this in front of 40 people who heard this at the event. 3 days later on Monday morning, her boss called her in to say he was putting her in charge of the Martin Luther King fund! 

Experience the healing music and deep meditations of David Young.

Over 10,000 Wellness Centers and healers of all kinds; Reiki practitioners, therapists, psychics, yoga studios and spas use his music all day long because they feel that his music is the most healing music on the planet. John Hopkins Medical Centers actually have entire floors that play his music 24/7 for this reason. Approximately 300,000 people a day are being treated while listening to his music.

David has recorded more than 57 albums including 6 Musical Affirmation CDs that have been approved by the APA (the American Psychological Association) because of their therapeutic qualities. The healing thread that connects all of David’s music is his amazing ability to play two flutes at once. This creates a harmonic resonance and a frequency that millions of people all over the world have experienced and call “The Most Heavenly Music on Earth.” Over 1,000,000 CDs have been sold.

Transforming Spiritual Events

David unique performances consist of two 30-minute musical meditations with a group discussion after each. It’s not uncommon to hear people describe their personal meditation experiences as going to the same exact place in the spiritual world.

“Everyone in the room will have some form of spiritual experience, either with the Inner Light or Sound, experiencing an Ascended Master, an out of body experience, a past life experience, or reconnecting with a loved one.”

Sharón graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at the age of twenty. She began teaching that same year in a public Junior High School in California. During her three years there, she obtained her Master of Arts degree from Azusa-Pacific University in education administration with an emphasis in math.

Sharón initially taught in California before moving to Germany where she taught for the Department of Defense Schools. She continued to move around as she married an Air Force soldier. She was fortunate to always find a teaching job in each location. After Germany came Texas, and then Japan. Eventually she would also teach in New Mexico, Nebraska, Washington state and China, besides being a high school administrator in both Texas and Oregon. She retired as a high school principal in 2002, only to come out of retirement in January 2008 to become involved in schools for an additional two and a half years.

It was during her time in the schools that she linked the patterns in names to a person’s mindset or personality. She worked on figuring out the patterns of the different letters for fifteen years before she fully comprehended all of the nuances. Sharón took the opportunity to travel a large part of the world testing her theories for the first three years after leaving the education field. Many people requested that she write a book so that they could learn what she had realized about names.

It was during this time that she wrote "Know the Name; Know the Person", with the first edition being published in December 2006. The second edition, published in May 2010, added chapters on mnemonic devices to help people remember the patterns explained in the book and also how to compare two names. She is currently working on the third edition. She is also is working on her second book which combines story telling with logic to challenge people to think again about some commonly accepted beliefs that may no longer be serving us. Since the publication of her book, she focuses her time writing, traveling and sharing Neimology with others, and researching her theories.

BOOK REVIEW:

Profoundly valuable and highly recommended.

This book posits the science of "Neimology, the study of names" and is ground-breaking, of potentially historic importance, and it affords broad-spectrum practical application. The empirical research and experience behind it has substantial credibility.

The notion behind the research and this book is that a person's oft-repeated name is initially inspired, releasing a resonance and predictable potential within the person's life expression. The author systematizes how people with names bearing the same initial vowel, initial letter, last letter and middle letters show consistent tendencies. Hence, the resonance of the name demonstrates correlated patterns of conduct due to the structure of the name. This observation is consistent with the ancient knowledge of most cultures' approach to naming children, where the given name "says it all." Offering this as a framework for decoding, she does not, for example, clam that every "John" will be the same, but that every "John" will share certain traits. Her system explains how and why these traits will be distinct from those shared by persons named Jemal, or James, or Jim. The resulting correlations are nuanced and valuable. Socially, this book can help make interaction with friends and strangers alike far more effortless and productive.

Unlike common "cookbook" approaches that merely share the meanings of names, the Wyeth system explores the personality traits associated to vowels and consonants, with interpretive weight given to their placement in the name. She enriches the reader with a systematic exploration and many illustrations. The reader is thus equipped with an interpretive framework applicable to any name. She tested the work in many countries who use the English Alphabet and found consistent results with only minor adaptations. This is significant. In addition she addresses nicknames, changed names, and other permutations involved in naming. In sum, rather than providing a fish to the hungry, she has provided a hook and bait so the hungry can catch fish and eat for a lifetime.

Cymatics, the study of the physical impacts of sound, demonstrates that sounds create visible geometries. Medical research has proven that cell structures, neurological systems, and the body generally does respond directly to sound. It shows that repetition of sounds can create or ameliorate disease. Making a connection between behavior associated to the oft-heard name and cellular responses proven in hard science is not an untenable leap.

Neimology offers a wealth of very useful applications for anyone who seeks to gain a sense of what lies beneath the surface in other people. The range of applications is broad-spectrum. Among readers who could benefit from Neimology are people in business, sales, counseling, politics, ministry, education, military leadership, and anyone seeking to refine simple interaction among other people in any capacity.
