Declaration

The Thread of Life

25 years ago I was nearly killed in a car accident. “The worst accident in Miami Beach history”, a head-on with a car going 90 mph, 2 months in a coma, a brain infection and very high fever, 7 more months in a rehab hospital, my wife left me, my life started again from babyhood. It was a complete shift in life, a bit more than a common fenderbender. Truthfully, I have never thought about the loss of what I had.

Dance of light

I see clouds sailing across the sky like boats, dreaming. I hear birds sing blessing the morning sun, After the rain. The World seems new, And a fresh wind showers a billion leaves Slightly tilting the treetops in a tender wave. Kissing the sky.

Proof of Precognition

The picture opposite will be very familiar to those of you who have attended my lectures. For those of you who have not it may simply be an interesting image. We see an album cover by a 'Gangsta' rap band by the name of Coup. Clearly they like to be provocative and what better than to have the attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11th 2001 as a backdrop. Interesting but hardly amazing. However what if I told you that this cover was designed in May 2001 and was already viewable on the record company's website (75 Ark) in June of 2001!

Communions

GaiaStar Room

Note from artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd: In 1998, artists Bonnie Bell and David Todd began to meditate on the emergence of global being. When we see ourselves as human-spirit cells in a conscious, living world, how does that change our awareness and our bodies? Out of this meditation, we created a series of 64 images and text called The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World. In this slide show you’ll read phrases from the Codex mixed with mandalas and goddess icons from the Codex and some of our other visual series.

Thich Nhat Hahn Room

A Monestary bell rings three times to begin this meditation, led by Thich Nhat Hahn, to music from “Graceful Passages? by Gary Malkin and Michael Stillwater. This room is about transmuting suffering into heart understanding and mindfulness.

Shakuhachi Room

A Shakuhachi flute wafts across a natural landscape as inspiring words from James O’Dea hypnotically call visitors into deeper resonance with self and others.

IONS 2007 Conference DVD - Activating the Heart's Intelligence: Understanding the Heart/Mind/Emotion Connection-Howard Martin

Science validates that the heart is more than just a pump. It is a powerful healing communicator to the higher centers of the brain. In each body, there is a neurological conversation happening constantly between brain and mind. The heart also is an electrical monitor for the brain, conducting neurobiological signals, and it is a biochemical producer of hormones to the brain. It is also an electrical organ which conducts bioelectricity throughout the body to produce electromagnetic energy which not only serves to bind the energy of the body's cells but filters and radiates it beyond the body.
