I was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, but moved to Pacific Palisades in southern California when I was three. My dad had an office in the house, but then built one in the back yard so he could find some peace to write by getting away from my sister, me and our menagerie of dogs, cats and even two pet rats.



Always preferring the East Coast, the change of seasons and the slower pace of small college towns, I remained in upstate New York to attend college. First Alfred University and then transferring to Elmira College where I earned a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in English.  Upon graduation I substitute taught, worked at a school for children with special needs, and then was a preschool teacher at Cornell University's Early Childhood Program & Cooperative Nursery School.

        

I have always loved writing. If my dad liked my writing he said so. Conversely, if not, he would declare it “interesting.” I wrote predominately poetry until I was published in The Twilight Zone, The Original Stories, an anthology, in which I adapted two of my father's teleplays, One for the Angels and The Changing of the Guard into short stories. The latter was subsequently published in The Twilight Zone Magazine. Additionally, I have had poetry published in The Cornell Daily Sun and Visions. I am represented by Erica Spellman-Silverman at Trident Media Group.

Recently I started work on a novel and continue to promote my father's legacy as a Board Member of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation.

Canadian powerhouse drummer Corky Laing is essentially associated with rock and roll folklore and as one of the elite drummers in the world. Laing is a longtime member for hard rock/heavy metal giant’s Mountain and the blues-rock power trio of West, Bruce & Laing. But Laing’s musical collaborations are seemingly endless. A list that includes alliances with John Lennon, Jack Bruce, Meat Loaf, Noel Redding, Mahogany Rush, Ten Years After, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, Bo Diddley and Gov’t Mule …to  name a few. Laing is also a producer and composer.

Corky Laing has recently added a brand new chapter to his illustrious musical career. Laing’s most recent project is a fascinating collaboration with two internationally acclaimed professors (Prof. Matti Häyry and Dr. Tuija Takala) intermingling the decree of genetic engineering with a rock opera music scheme. The concept album entitled … Playing God is performed by the Perfect Child, an incredible ensemble of musicians and singers. At the core of the rock opera is Corky Laing who astounds instrumentally, lyrically and vocally. The album concept is brilliant and the music is colossal. It’s an awe-inspiring rock musical production and a cross between … Welcome to my Nightmare, The Wall and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Corky Laing also records and performs live with his band Corky Lang & The Memory Thieves featuring Bonnie Parker & Denny Colt. Both bandmates also performed magnificently on the Perfect Child rock opera. The Memory Thieves released the album House of Thieves in 2012. 

Corky Laing studio and live albums with Mountain … Climbing! (1970), Nantucket Sleighride (1971), Flowers of Evil (1971), Mountain Live: The Road Goes Ever On (1972).  Avalanche (1974), Go for Your Life (1985), Man’s World (1996), Mystic Fire (2002), Masters of War (2004).

Corky Laing studio and live albums with West, Bruce & Laing … Why Dontcha (1972), Whatever Turns You On (1973), Live ‘n’ Kickin’ (1974).

Other studio releases featuring Corky Laing … Corky Laing- Makin’ It on the Street (1977), The Secret Sessions (1999), Cork- Speed of Thought (1999), Cork- Out There (2003), Jason Hartless Jr. –First Division (2004), Stick It! (2004). 

Most Recently 'CORKY LAING PLAYS MOUNTAIN' is touring worldwide

Sitting in with K2 (Peter Baron, Ken Sidotti & Joe Venti), a band saluting Mountain’s music, for a couple of gigs during 2014 and 2015 reminded Corky how much he liked playing Mountain songs the way they were originally written. Now he is looking at touring both Europe and the US celebrating the Mountain legacy. On the European tours Corky is joined by Joe Venti (formerly e.g. Leslie West Band) on bass and vocals, and Phil Baker (e.g. Uriah Heep Legends & Pulse Echoes of Floyd) on guitar and vocals. In November 2015 they tour the UK and in February 2016 Germany, playing the immortal Mountain classics and throwing in some West, Bruce & Laing and Cream for good measure.

Peter Maxwell Slattery is an experiencer, author, speaker, meditation teacher and he does energy and healing practices. His experiences started at an early age and continue to this day and he has witnesses to events and an overwhelming amount of photographic and video evidence of UFOs, Orbs and apparitions.

From his experiences with Extra-terrestrials, to inter-dimensional beings, Spirits and Source, all has led Pete to dedicate himself to the healing of the Earth and to the awakening of the human race by helping people find their own connection to Source, and their own inter-dimensional self. He also helps people to initiate contact themselves, on whatever level they are ready to do so individually and in a group, through love, good intent and meditation. Pete has appeared on Channel 7’s “Prime News” and “Sunrise” (which is one of Australia’s national morning news T.V shows), and he has also been on shows such as “The Unexplained with Howard Hughes” and “Podcast UFO”. He will also be a featured presenter at ECETI 2016, the annual July gathering at James's Gilliland's UFO Ranch near Portland, Oregon.

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. » Carl Jung“Whatever is rejected from the self, appears in the world as an event.”

― C.G. Jung

Hello, I am a child of earth, and I have spent the last 5 years going through a radical personal healing.  Throughout my journey, I have fallen into a few traps since my full on awakening.  It happened one morning when i immediately and profoundly knew we were all ONE.  From that moment, my experiences took on new dimensions...

I am here to help others through the earthly maze, to assist in the discovery of the Self, residing underneath the many layers.  My intention is to spread truth, to empower others to unplug from artificial timelines, and to help in connecting to the authentic, organic essence.  

It's a necessary aspect of awakening to see through the lies, and for each and every one of us to find our authentic, full bodied, inner child.  Once found and awakened, our natural connection to Mother earth-Spirit is instantaneous.  We automatically gain access to all of her/our inner truth...  a vast, wordless "knowingness".

David Lewis is a masterful singer/songwriter – 7 CD’s published - who became a messenger for the Ascended Masters about 11 years ago.

David brings harmony and prescience of divine order that is stepping through the thinning veil for winning from the beginning of the Aquarian Dispensation.

In this show, David provides some timely insight from the Master Jesus regarding the big shift of Earth energies with evolutionary ascent of mass consciousness from talking about problems to focusing on solutions with loving kindness.

We live in a miraculous time when quantum science of the divine matrix is unveiling not only the mysteries of quantum power (free energy), quantum wisdom (heart coherence), and quantum healing (global TeLeCare), but also the mysteries of conscious evolution with revelations from ascended realms that give us INsight for OUTlook of a more enlightened nature.

For those who like waking up with song and inspiration in the morning, David’s website provides free live and prerecorded messages from those who ascended with momentums of mastery that comes through these messages. The ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of your day may well benefit.

David Christopher Lewis is an author, spiritual speaker and teacher. In September, David will conduct a book tour and lecture series in 26 cities across the western U.S.

His new book, Advanced Studies of the Human Aura: How to Charge Your Energy Field with Light and Spiritual Radiance provides a deeper understanding of the aura. David's highly original and influential work gives keys to increasing your auric light to accelerate your consciousness, and move from a sense of limitation to unbounded cosmic awareness and abundance.

In 2004 David had a profound spiritual awakening. He began to receive telepathic communications from divine beings known as ascended masters. In January 2005 David co-founded The Hearts Center, a movement for those seeking spiritual quickening and enlightenment. He also co-created Meru University, a modern day on-line mystery school. Meru U supports advanced spiritual development with teachings of the ascended masters revealed for today in live webinars, courses and workshops.

I have just completed building, which is to open on Saturday, the most extensive exhibition of the true workings of the Universe.

I AM 67 YEARS OLD researching the truth for 40 plus years. I live in Lytham St Annes, UK.
