Kurt Koontz grew up with a lot of the outdoors in Boise, Idaho. He studied business at the University of Puget Sound, then returned to his hometown to rise through the ranks as a sales executive for Micron Technology. While working, he traveled on business across the U.S. and the world. When he retired at age 36, he took to adventure travel—mostly by bicycle across Europe and in the Western U.S. and Canada.

It wasn’t until 2012 that he began writing about his adventures. That year, he walked the 500-mile El Camino de Santiago, the Spanish pilgrimage route dating from medieval times. This journey, he says, was a very different kind of travel.

On the Camino, he lived moment to moment, not knowing where he would find the next meal or sleep the next night. As he walked the 1,300-year-old route, he heard unforgettable stories from other pilgrims and took a deeper look at his own life stories. Recorded in his journal and e-mails home, they became the foundation for his first book, A Million Steps, due out late this year.

He now lives and writes near family and friends, on a tree-lined creek in Boise.

I've been a Professional Trance Channel for thirty four years, preceded by 6 to 7 years of study and practicing.  

I've been published in magazines and journals. For example, Spirit Speaks, Sedona Journal Of Emergence, various newspaper articles and from time to time television programs. I have over thirty five books in print.

I got into this work because I wanted to leave the world a better place for my having been here. That may sound a little corny but I know a lot of you feel exactly the same way. Oh I grant a call to Channeling may be out of the ordinary and certainly unconventional, nevertheless it is one of the things I do best and most benevolently.

Also I'm happy to say that I have been blessed with training that has guided me to be able to provide answers to questions and answers to feelings that are not always possible to express in questions. This has allowed me to incorporate the Shamanic and Mystical into my work and I feel honored and blessed to be able to provide that.

I feel very good about the books and magazine articles that I've been able to provide through Channeling and I hope you enjoy them as well. I wish to add a special greeting to those who have been following the creation of these books on Amazon.com and other places.

It is my intention to keep up the flow of these books with my Publisher who is also quite dedicated to the process.

I am hopeful you will continue to look upon these books as a worthy addition to your library of knowledge and wisdom and I am also hopeful that you will consider their value and try some of the processes described therein to empower you and to illuminate your own capabilities. I have attempted to provide these books in the best way I know how, to sketch out what I believe is our true value as human beings and our place in the universe.

I believe we are not struggling in some kindergarten - I believe that this is actually a school - yes an advanced school that requires that we prove to ourselves and others that we can, that we are able and that we have the best intents.

Goodlife.

Like too many middle-class Americans, Rev Dr. Christina Winsey, from Sarasota, FL, has been put through the Foreclosure Ringer.  Her efforts to learn the law, and to hold the Courts Accountable to the Rule of Law, will be the subject of this week’s BBS show.  What she has learned will both shock and empower others caught in the same situation.  She will share the large network that gathered around her to help her handle herself as a Pro-Se Litigant when her Lawyer abruptly quit the minute she filed in OPPT-style paperwork. 

Rev. Dr. Chris is on a mission to facilitate healing and transformation on this Planet.  After 20 plus years practicing holistic medicine as a chiropractic physician and massage therapist, Dr. Chris became a certified addictionologist and non-denominational, non-religious ordained minister.

In 2003 she began professional coaching and mentoring clients to lose weight, increase confidence, conquer addictive and negative habits, manage stress and improve overall well-being. 

Dr. Chris’s coaching encompasses mind-body-spirit-emotions and practical life management. In long-term recovery from eating disorders herself, Dr. Chris’ mantra for her clients is “The only way ‘out’ is ‘through.’”

She is a keynote speaker and co-author of several books, including “101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life,” with Ken Blanchard, Les Brown, Mark Victor Hansen and Byron Katie.

Dr. Chris lives in Florida with her two teenage sons, three dogs and two cats.  

Located in the back of Nice city (French Riviera), the plateau of the pass of Vence is the seat since long times of strange events of nature very diverse.

Pierre Beake was interested there since the end of the Seventies. A spectacular observation personally implying him at the beginning of the Nineties will lead Pierre to be even more strongly invested in the study of these strange phenomena, and to tie bonds of friendship with other investigators.

It is the starting point of a new period of investigation which will lead to a disconcerting form of interaction with what seems to hide behind these demonstrations.

CHRISTOPHER LANGAN was born in San Francisco and spent most of his early life in Montana. His mother was the daughter of a wealthy shipping executive but was cut off from her family; his father died or disappeared before he was born. He began talking at six months, taught himself to read before he was four, and was repeatedly skipped ahead in school. But he grew up in poverty and says he was beaten by his stepfather from when he was almost six to when he was about fourteen. By then Langan had begun weight training, and forcibly ended the abuse, throwing his stepfather out of the house and telling him never to return.

Langan says he spent the last years of high school mostly in independent study, teaching himself "advanced math, physics, philosophy, Latin and Greek, all that". His brother recalls that "when Christopher was fourteen or fifteen, he would draw things just as a joke, and it would be like a photograph. When he was fifteen, he could match Jimi Hendrix lick for lick on a guitar."

After earning a perfect score on the SAT Langan attended Reed College and later Montana State University, but faced with finance and transportation problems, and believing that he "could literally teach his professors more than they could teach him", dropped out.

He took a string of labor-intensive jobs, and by his mid-40s had been a construction worker, cowboy, forest service firefighter, farmhand, and for over twenty years, a bouncer on Long Island, New York. He says he developed a "double-life strategy", on one side a regular guy, doing his job and exchanging pleasantries, and on the other side coming home to perform equations in his head, working in isolation on his Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe.

Wider attention came in 1999, when Esquire magazine published a profile of Langan and other members of the high-IQ community. Billing Langan as "the smartest man in America", the article's account of the weight-lifting bouncer and his CTMU "Theory of Everything" sparked a flurry of media interest. Board-certified neuropsychologist Dr. Robert Novelly tested Langan's IQ for 20/20, which reported that Langan broke the ceiling of the test. Novelly was said to be astounded, saying: "Chris is the highest individual that I have ever measured in 25 years of doing this."

Articles and interviews highlighting Langan appeared in Popular Science,The Times, Newsday, Muscle & Fitness (which reported that he could bench press 500 pounds), and elsewhere. Langan was featured on 20/20,interviewed on BBC Radio and on Errol Morris's First Person, and participated in an online chat at ABCNEWS.com. He has written question-and-answer columns for New York Newsday, The Improper Hamptonian, and Men's Fitness.

On January 25, 2008, Langan was a contestant on NBC's game show 1 vs. 100, where he won 250,000.

Today Chris continues to work on an upcoming book soon to be published.
