(In Alphabetical Order - by first names - as of July 2009) underlined names are links to the person's website Due to the number of Guests that "Bridging" has had to date, we have decided to make it easier to locate them by setting up alphabetical links to each letter of the alphabet. That way, one can go immediately to the first Guest name for that letter instead of scrolling down the whole list.
Abigail is the true angel of "Bridging Heaven & Earth". She has been a guest on more shows than anyone else. needless to say, she is one of our favorites. A recent tv special called Abigail a "singing enchantress." Abigail could be described as a visionary singer/songwriter with beautifully haunting harmonies, multli-leveled lyrics, and a beingness that embodies innocence, knowingness and her angelic presence. Her songs contain a signature of youthfulness and lively inventiveness textured with transcendental agelessness. The combination is a power that has to be experienced. For that reason, "Bridging Heaven & Earth" has invited her many times to grace the show with her unique purity of expression. Adrienne is a spiritual healer, international teacher, and channel with a powerful message. She has developed a unique healing method which effectively identifies and removes the negative influences which hold people powerless to create positive change in their lives. Her book, "Divine Intervention", presents bold insights into the nature of humankind’s dilemma on earth today. Adrienne’s musical CD, "Water in the Eyes of Time", is a beautiful blend of ancient empowered mantras woven with upbeat spiritual music. She founded the Garuda Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to assisting people to become co-creators with God and teach them to have mastery over their own existence. Agatha Rose Danoff: Agatha, who appeared on Show # 110 with Jaya Bear, is a
master musician, singer/songwriter whose new CD, "Terranova: Ascension of our
Planet" is a collection of thirteen powerfully angelic songs. The songs
were written for voice, cello, piano, flute, and effects. Agatha has a voice of
unusual beauty, range, and strength. The vocals are effortless, clear, and spinning.
The music is classically influenced, yet rendered and recorded to produce a
mystical, meditative, and heart moving experience. Most of the lyrics of this
musical offering were written by the composer and are of a very healing and mystical
nature; spiritual, but not religious. The oceans are renewed, our consciousness has
ascended. You are welcomed upon a journey to the higher self; one with God, and
reminded to know and to love ones' self. The song "Sacred Planet"
has prompted a passionate response. Many listeners speak of being transported to
another place; one where comfort and peace reside. In public performances, Agatha
has been asked to repeat this particular song as an encore by audience members on numerous
occasions. Alana, a singer/songwriter of amazing gifts, has just released her new CD, "from behind the veil....", to universal acclaim. Her husky and flirty alto is the ideal vehicle for her original tunes about struggle, sadness, love, transition, hope, and survival.

He has a great sense of humor and refuses to take himself too seriously. He is the author of four books, including two novels. His latest book, "The T-Zone--the Path to Inner Power", is a powerful tool for the growth of human consciousness and is the result of Alan's lifelong healing pursuits. It is a clear, concise, no-nonsense book about growing your soul, healing your life, and accelerating your evolution.

Iran who is blessed with an unusual gift for healing. The thousands of people he
has healed refer to him as Dr. Ali and for them he has been the cure to their ills where
no other doctor has been able to help. Ali stresses that what he does is complimentary to
traditional medicine and urges the people he works on to continue on any medication they
may be taking and/or health regimen set up by their primary physician. He states that his
ability to heal people is a God-given gift. Ali has been put to the test in several other countries. He has been tested in
France, Switzerland and the United States. The electromagnetic energy emitted from his
hands and his telepathic abilities have been tested and proven at the National Center for
Scientific Research in France (CNRS Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), a
private research facility in Switzerland, and at Princeton University in the United States
to name a few. At a private research facility in Geneva, Switzerland nine thousand
tests were performed on Ali over a two-year period. Mostly the tests involved attempting
to prove or disprove his mental telepathy and E.S.P. (Extra Sensory Perception) abilities.
Six thousand of these tests proved his abilities to be one hundred percent accurate. Ali, who appeared on Show #7, is a extraordinary visionary artist who has produced a series of angelic paintings, posters and cards that are truly inspirational.

She performed in two wonderful and well-received musicals: "Les Miserables" and "Grease". Anne Marie also had her own show broadcast on The Danish National Radio Station in Copenhagen. However, she finally realized that her main goal and focus would be to write, record, and perform her own songs. Anne Marie feels blessed by her gifts and is very thankful for the possibility of sharing these musical and spiritual moments with other soul mates all over the world. She bases herself in her hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Santa Barbara and she really enjoys the best of two worlds.

After extensive study in many different modalities of alternative health, she consolidated all of her knowledge and training to form a simple and understandable philosophy of health and healing. Ann Marie's Synchronistic Attunements and the divinely inspired Harmonic Essences align the energy systems of the body, raising the amplitude and flow of the life-force energy system, thus releasing the body's innate ability to heal itself and restore the incredible inner power of the body to its perfected state of being. Ann, who appeared on Shows # 48 and 167, was born in Glasgow, Scotland and was schooled in England. She started her career as a top photographic model in London and Europe. After moving to Los Angeles, she worked as an actress in theater, film, and television for the next ten years. In 1996, after living in the San Juan Islands and interacting daily with the resident Orca whale pods of the Puget Sound, Ann wanted to formulate a non-profit organization to help protect all whales and dolphins. After extensive research and investigation regarding the well-being of these majestic creatures--especially from the physical and mental abuse that she saw at Sea World and other captive "swim-with-dolphin" industries--she created the Universal Cetacean Institute. Ann has traveled extensively around the world to study with spiritual teachers. She has spent considerable time in India, particularly with her teacher in the Himalayas. She has a rich background in psychology and metaphysics. She received her PHD in Metaphysical Science from the University of Metaphysics in California.

Ann is also hosting two radio programs on the garden island of Kaua'i, Hawaii. One of the radio shows, "Truth from the Source", airs throughout Hawaii and streams worldwide on the internet every Sunday. For almost six years, "Truth from the Source" has successfully brought many leading authorities and international authors on air to discuss cutting edge environmental, health, and spiritual issues that are rarely discussed on most other talk shows. Her mission is to inform the public about alternative ways to live a healthier, more conscious life style and to create a healthier environment by becoming part of a global solution and not be part of the problem.
Antiquala: Antiquala, who appeared on the very first show, moves creatively through what she calls "Dreamweaving" where she energetically weaves and transmits frequencies of light and sound which promotes healing and balancing, while accelerating energies connecting the human with the divine. In her work she balances the feminine and the masculine and activates Goddess energy spontaneously through dance, hands-on healing, and vocalizations. How Apollo
(who appeared on Bridging Show # 227) Describes His Journey: “I am Apollo. I am an Environmental Artist. I only go by the one name. This is way I received it. I was in an automobile accident in 1973. I was driving a VW bus and the brakes went out. I tried to avoid hitting the truck in front of me. Instead I hit the curb and was hurled into a tree going about 60 mph. I saw everything in slow motion and was watching as if I were outside my body. I felt that I was going through the death experience, but there was no fear and no pain. I saw myself go through the windshield and land head first in the street. At this time, I acknowledged my own death. I felt free and was immediately pulled away into a vortex of rainbow colored energy. The best way I can describe it is to compare it with the way a worm hole in space has been depicted in the Star Trek series. I found myself breaking through this incredibly intense blue white light and all of a sudden I was walking through the most beautiful valley with a being that looked like how Christ is generally described. He was dressed all in white and had white hair and beard and electric blue eyes. The shear beauty of this place was overwhelming. Everything seemed to glow with its own luminescence. Indeed it was heavenly. As we walked, I had many questions about life, death, religion, wars, suffering and a multitude of other things. We communicated telepathically without the use of words. As soon as I had a question, it was answered. I was told that I could stay and work from that side of reality to help humanity or I could go back to my life on earth and make an even bigger difference. I was told that I would become an artist and that I would use the name Apollo. I was told that one day my work would be all around the planet and that I would be able to use it as a soap box to speak out on both social and environmental issues. I was also told that I would not receive any special treatment and would have to go through everything everybody else does. Just as I had acknowledged my own death, I agreed to come back and do my art. At that moment, I was pulled back into my body. Everything I was told has come to pass. The work is all around the world and I have had the privilege to work with some outstanding environmental groups as well as helping to raise money for several charities. I feel truly blessed.” Apollo
is a joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging International Healing Art Project and
is one of the world's leading environmental artists. He started painting dolphins and
whales when he first moved to Maui in 1980. Apollo is best known for his Marine Life,
Endangered Species, Endangered Habitat and Tropical Art. He combines the style of realism
with a touch of animation. He captures the essence of spirit in his subjects and reveals
their beauty on canvas. A
fixture in the Maui art scene since 1980, Apollo gained a deep appreciation and
understanding of the marine environment through constant interaction with the ocean and
its creatures. While not engaged in his first loves of snorkeling, free diving, and of
course, painting, Apollo could be found hiking the rain forests throughout the islands. Apollo's
current creative ventures include the writing and illustrating of children's books where
he hopes to bring an environmental and social message to children of all ages. Apollo
is always creating and using his artistic talents to capture the world's beauty in all its
forms. His objective is to stimulate our awareness of the natural world around us and to
help all creatures and environments in need of assistance. Apollo’s

She is masterful at identifying and communicating the dynamics she observes happening with individuals and organizations that unknowingly undermine effectiveness and productivity.

Descending from a Royal Indian heritage, Bhupinder,
who appeared on Bridging Show # 210 with Dr, Kathleen Almgren, was born in 1935 in
northern India. On the third day of his life,
a Tuesday, he refused to have nourishment placed into his mouth. He naturally fasted every Tuesday thereafter,
which turned out to be the holy fasting day for the revered Hindu monkey-god Hanuman. It did not take long for Bhupinder’s
parents to realize his enlightened state of being, and knew this special child was indeed
blessed by God. At three years of age, he
began to experience visions and became a channel to express the necessary words to heal
others, even though he himself could not fully understand the meaning at such an early
age. News of the enlightened child spread, and over the years, people came to him seeking answers to their health problems and questioning what the future held in store for them. He always spoke accurately and with innate wisdom. In time, his visions led him to begin healing people through a unique and ancient technique that he has now used with great success for over 40 years, restoring good health to the multitudes. Prior to patient healing, Bhupinder uses his Yogi Shakti to scan the body for the root cause of the ailment. Once understood, he would begin the healing session. Drugs or surgery are never used, and there are no side effects. Bhupinder received his Masters Degrees in Yoga, Magnet Therapy, and Nari Pathy (science of the nervous system). He also received his PhD in Alternative Systems of Medicines from the University of Patna/India and joined the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine in Calcutta. His titles include: I.A.M.A.(USA)-President, I.A.M.A.C.(Canada)-President, N.H.F.I. (USA)Vice President, A.C.I.A.I.I.(USA)-Vice President, V.K.A.M.A.(INDIA)-President, N.H.U.P (INDIA)-Director. Other degrees include: Ordained Minister/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Certified Spiritual Healer/ International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Diplomat of Earth Stewardship/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations. Bhupinder is also the Vice President of the Natural Healing Foundation, Inc.(Member-International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations). In 1995 on World Health Day, Bhupinder was the humble recipient of the Shiromani award, the (Indian) Nobel Prize, presented to him by no other than Holy Mother Teresa herself. This award was granted for 19 specific years of using his unique healing technique, healing millions of people along the way, including a good number of Indian dignitaries. Bhupinder attributes any and all of his success to the divine Grace of God; he explains that he administers the treatment, but God does the healing. Bhupinder's website is: http://www.ChandelsHealingFoundation.com The author of the exceptional new book, "The Path—From Illusion to Freedom", Bill, who appeared on Show #56, is a teacher of enormous insight. "The Path" leads the reader on a thought-provoking journey through the understanding of consciousness as Bill presents ancient and immutable principles in the light of modern understanding. The teaching is designed to awaken us to a sense of balance and freedom from the mass-delusion most of us call life—the end result: a practical evolution of consciousness that can be used in day-to-day existence to develop a profound sense of awe for all that is. Bob, who appeared on Show #37, is an author, spiritual teacher, clear channel of the Ascended Masters, and founder of Council of Light, International, an organization for consciousness, enlightenment, and healing.

Bonnie, with her partner, David, who appeared on Show # 137 are co creators of GaiaStar Mandalas, ecstatic visions of the living earth. Their goal in creating their magnificent artwork and evolutionary services is to catalyze the awakening of global being. In 1993, after 20 years of intensive spiritual practice, they found themselves drawn into a life-changing embrace with the Earth. In order to comprehend the process they were going through, they began making art. By working with close-up photographs of Nature, using collage and computer software, they created images that conveyed the alchemical fusion of heavenly and earthly elements into a new self-luminous reality. They call this lit-up world the GaiaStar. "We thought of ourselves as translators; people who decipher a message in one language and encode it into another. We had the experience of making contact at a core level with our planet and finding it full of spirit-light and presence. Our immediate mission was to find a way to "notate", in the form of visual (photographic) information, the vibrational essences we drew from that contact. When we selected a portion of a photograph, it became a bit of source code, which we reassembled into mandala images. The images could then speak in the Earth’s visual voice about the emergence of a new global possibility." Brian David Anderson: Brian, who appeared on Show # 84 with Craig Russel and Paul Armitage, is a world-renowned teacher, healer, and workshop leader. He is the inventor of the Quantum Disk and author of the new book, "The Rhythms of Nature." His workshops help to stimulate the Thymus Gland of the human body via awareness and insight of the true structure of the molecular levels and the balancing and projecting of energy and emotional vortex centers. Brian's intention on this "Bridging" show is to perform seven chants for balancing the Chakras with drums and a Tibetan bell. Buddy, who appeared on Show # 108 with Randy Fahrbach, is the "Modern Miracles Reporter". He investigates unexplained phenomena which he calls modern miracles and has come to conclusions about their meaning and significance. As a TV pioneer and popular talk show guest, he presents mounting evidence that an extraordinary spiritual force is hard at work around the world. Buddy’s investigation of these miracle reports has uncovered amazing links among these seemingly random happenings. As a result, he believes another large-scale "miracle" is about to occur. "If I’m right," he says, "we will soon be privileged to witness the most extraordinary transformation that has ever taken place in the world-something that will change the world in every department for the better, and will show the aim and purpose of life itself." Buddy speaks nationally about The Miracle Behind the Miracles and has been interviewed on over 1,000 radio and TV programs. Katie, since her spontaneous awakening in 1986, has been formulating a way to retain the gift of inner clarity. This way became known as "The Work." With Katie as the inspiration, "The Work" has spread worldwide, giving everyone the opportunity to experience inner freedom and peace of mind. "The Work" shows how to look at the thoughts and beliefs that keep us from living and knowing true freedom, how to see our old confusion in a new light...and how to transform into a more free and awakened being. We at "Bridging" are extremely excited to to be able to bring to you Katie's loving compassion, inspiration, and extraordinary sense of humor and humbleness. Katie appeared on "Bridging" Show # 67 with the Musical Videos of Kate Wolf and the Rainbow Tribe Gathering.

She is one of the dynamic forces in progressive California philosophy, arts and letters, that would include among others, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Laura Huxley, Ram Dass, Andy Lakey, and Terence McKenna. In all of Kleefeld's works, one feels an uncanny intimacy with life forces; she is a transformative creature in an experimental relationship with the world, empty of foregone conclusions - as in Zen - as in Romantic thought. Her newly published book, "The Alchemy of Possibility; Reinventing Your Personal Mythology" is at once a universal handbook for creative growth and an intimate record of one artist's passionate journey to the edges of perception. Caryn, a joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging International Healing
Art Project who appeared on Bridging Show # 231, writes books, facilitates
workshops and creates art that encourages humankind to "remember what you are"
while becoming more guardian-like in our treatment of others and our planet home. In 1991, after almost ten years as a
corporate tax consultant and CPA, Caryn began her present career as an international
speaker and workshop facilitator. She is also the author of “Ancient Pact, Volume 1:
The Element of Air” and the related “ReMember: Deck One Spiritual Contemplation
Cards”. Caryn resides in Reno, Nevada where she
is an active volunteer for Conscious Community Campaign and Soroptimist International. She
currently writes full-time, delivers occasional workshops, and speaks on her latest
topics, “Lessons of the Ancient Council” and “Accelerating Karma.” Her goal is to accelerate karma globally,
reunite the ancient tribe of guardians, and renew the pact: "Our mission is to be
guardians of all life and to never do harm unless necessary for survival." While
acknowledging the immensity of these objectives her attitude is, "Working toward
change is better than complaining about the way things are and doing nothing about it.

She facilitates energetic frequencies of a healing nature taught, in part, to her by James Kent, who studied under and lived in the Oakland ashram with Swami Muktananda of the Siddha Yoga lineage. She has been acknowledged by several well-respected Tibetan Buddhist Lamas as being a communicator from the "realms of the Deities". Cathy translates information to those seeking clarity about themselves and their world. She teaches individuals how to translate their "highest loving potential" into this physical reality and supports all in realizing states of non-separation in a grounded, realized, way. Cathy reminds us that Life is the proverbial mirror and delivers the message: "To the degree we realize ourselves is the degree we create our own reality". The Norwegian singer Cecilia, who appeared on Bridging Show # 130 with Claire Heartsong, Bridging Show # 131 with Morning, and Bridging Show # 206, is renowned for her crystal clear voice. She grew up North of the Arctic Circle, where the people have to cope with 3 months of darkness during the winter. They have learned to bring light into darkness. Cecilia’s astonishingly beautiful voice has often been requested, and never more so than now after the terrorist attacks in the USA. Cecilia’s unique voice reaches 3 octaves, singing everything from pop to classical. She has 6 years of classical training from conservatories in Norway, Denmark and Germany. Instead of continuing the classical way, an unfulfilled dream came through. Cecilia started to train with a singing teacher in New York, Oren Brown, who was renowned for finding a singer’s natural voice rather than trying to shape their voice. Cecilia started her career in 1994 singing for 5,000 people in Sydney, Australia. Her first album, "Voice of the Feminine Spirit", went gold there, selling more than 50,000 copies. This album has so far sold 200,000 copies with almost no marketing. This album includes her famous rendition of "Amazing Grace". Cecilia started touring with such prominent speakers as Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson and Stuart Wilde. All best selling authors, selling millions of books worldwide. The music on Cecilia's second album, released in most continents during the summer of 1997, was a collaboration between producer and composer David Lord and lyricist Stuart Wilde. David Lord is best known for his work with Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Jean Michel Jarre among others. The album was called "Voice of Violet 19". On the basis of these two albums, this very talented Nordic singer found the interest of PolyGram’s staff in Norway. Cecilia signed a recording deal with PolyGram/ Universal Music Norway in 1997. Universal Music Norway released her third album, "Inner Harmony", in 1999. During the summer of 1999, Cecilia moved to Los Angeles. She signed an agreement with Northern Light Music to develop her style and music. She has been working on different directions and has been giving concerts in the USA. In 2001 Northern Light Music released a Christmas album, "Let There Be Peace On Earth". Cecilia has been requested to promote Spirit Aid 2002. She will do promotion worldwide singing the theme song for the event, which will take place at a 60,000-seat stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, in July 2002, and broadcasted by BBC to 1 billion people.

Known by many as a "mid-wife of the soul", Claire,who appeared on Shows # 18, 34, 51, 75 and 98 and 130, serves intimately with the Feminine Christ Presence, the Ascended Masters, and Universal Councils of Light to facilitate the birthing of Unity or Christ Consciousness. Through heart-focused and deeply transformational communication, sacred ceremony, catalytic sound, and guided meditation, an experience of remembered Oneness can be realized. The coming forth of the Feminine Christ, at this time of great change, empowers the balancing of opposite polarities into harmonious unity while embracing diversity. The Feminine Christ awaits full activation and expression in men and women, the young and young at heart, and all races, belief systems, cultures, creatures, elements, heaven and earth. All life, without exception, is invited into Homecoming.The Feminine Christ consciousness that incarnated as Anna, the mother of Mary, is issuing a Call at this time of great challenge and opportunity. She is sharing her life story and presence with Claire, who as scribe and facilitator is bringing Anna’s story and wisdom to those who are responding. Anna invites the reader to enter her mountain hermitage, a contemporary ‘mystery school of the Feminine Christ’, in order to remember and fulfill destiny as a present-day Christ (one who has become enlightened) initiate. Anna reveals intimate details of her life as a physical immortal, a life that spanned over 800 years, and in eloquent simplicity and passion, illuminates the lives of the key players within the Christ-Magdalen Drama 2,000 years ago. She emphasizes that that drama was a dress rehearsal for the planetary and cosmic Christing that is currently underway. The soon to be published book is titled Anna, Mother of Mary. The seminars are The Wisdom Teachings of the Feminine Christ. Another example of the Feminine Christ is demonstrated by the Hathors, an ascended, inter-dimensional civilization that has served Earth’s ascension for over 850,000 years.

She has studied conflict transformation with John Paul Lederach and at the Eastern Mennonite University Conflict Transformation Program. In January 1999, Cyndi enrolled in a course at the Conflict Transformation
Program at the Eastern Mennonite University. She
was astounded when she heard the stories of the peacebuilding work that was happening in
high conflict regions all over the world. That
summer, she returned with a cameraman to begin recording the stories of these
‘everyday gandhis®’. Intending to
tape three interviews, she returned with fourteen. That was the beginning of the everyday
gandhis® project. Founded in 1999, everyday
gandhis® project is a 501 C (3) non-profit corporation seeking to tell the story of how
peace is created. Based in Santa Barbara,
California, the work of the everyday gandhis is focused at this time on the unfolding
story of peace in war-torn West Africa, particularly, Liberia. To this end, they are supporting and documenting several strategic, community-based peacebuilding initiatives, with an emphasis on indigenous peacemaking, and traditional mourning and community-building ceremonies. Everyday ghandis has equipped and trained five grassroots camera teams in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana to document stories of peacemaking and to create a living narrative of peace in the region. These teams form the peace media initiative known as Peace News Network, PNN™. In close partnership with the Liberia Chapter of the West Africa Network for Peace Building, everyday ghandis recently opened an office and digital editing facility in Monrovia, Liberia.

He has taught in 9 countries on 4 continents. He was the first western healer to teach healing to Japan. In February 1996, he was the only international speaker at the first New Age Expo in Asia, in Hong Kong. November 1996 he was the only American among 28 presenters at the first "Conference of Alternative Therapies" held in Eastern Europe, in Romania. His presentation was officially voted Best of Conference by the attendees. In 1998 he received the Martin De La Cruz Prize from the Academia Mexicana de Medicina Tradicional, at the 12th International Conference on Traditional Medicine, cosponsored by the University of New Mexico. This prize is given each year to the individual or organization that has contributed the most to alternative healing. He has been involved in Crystal Skull Research since 1986 when he was part of a team of researchers who went to Canada and worked with the Mitchell-Hedges Skull.

Daniel, guest on Bridging Show # 151 and author of the extraordinary new book, "Breaking Open the Head", has written features for The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Wired, Harper's Bazaar, The Village Voice, Salon, and many other publications. He is one of the founders of Open City, an art and literary journal, and an independent book publisher. Daniel was a 1999 - 2000 Fellow of the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University. He has also been a columnist for The Art Newspaper of London, and an editor at Connoisseur Magazine. Born in 1966, he grew up in New York City, where his father, Peter Pinchbeck, was an abstract painter. His mother, Joyce Johnson, was part of the Beat Generation in the 1950s. She is the author of several books, including Minor Characters, a memoir. Daniel went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, then worked as a magazine editor and journalist,In the late 1990s, after years of working in the media, Daniel fell into the classic existential or spiritual crisis. Life seemed to have no point or transcendent meaning. He began to feel as if he was already dead, a ghost walking around the streets of Manhattan. At some point he recalled his fascination with psychedelic mushrooms and LSD in college. Daniel experimented again, and his experiences inspired him to travel to Nepal and India, where he visited Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and the sacred Hindu festival Kumbh Mehla. Back in New York, he began to study shamanism and the magical plants used in rituals. On assignment, he went to Gabon, in West Africa, and took iboga, a long-lasting psychedelic rootbark, in an initiation ceremony. Daniel visited a shaman in Oaxaca, the son of the famous shamaness Maria Sabina. He attended a conference on "Visionary Entheobotany" in Palenque, Mexico and visited Burning Man. He went down to the Ecuadorean Amazon to visit the Secoya tribe and take ayahuasca, a visionary medicine. "Breaking Open the Head" describes his own process of discovery, and a profound paradigm shift. Daniel admits to still being surprised - even extremely astonished - at what he has found. Through direct experience, he learned that shamanism was a real phenomenon, that direct access to the spiritual world is available to anybody who is willing to explore for themselves and escape the prevailing orthodoxies, the "irrational rationality" of the current system. Daniel supports the perspective of Christ in the Gnostic "Gospel of Thomas," who said: "Open the door for yourself, so you will know what is." Darren grew up on a farm in Mystic, Connecticut in a Catholic household. Although he originally found great peace in the church, adolescence brought many changes. He began to experience a shattering of faith and compassion for the institution of the Church. After literally becoming spiritually dead through drug and alcohol abuse, a depressed state lasting nearly eight years, Darren reached a pinnacle or "dark night of the soul". After experiencing a profound inner shift, he began his spiritual journey, which has taken him along the path of his own "Yellow Brick Road". Darren now lives in San Francisco where he works extensively with the HIV community. Together he and his business partner David Nelson have opened Castro Yoga, one of the premier yoga centers in San Francisco, where Darren is a spiritual counselor and Yoga Instructor. In his new book, "Spiritual Journeys Along The Yellow Brick Road", he explores the fascinating classic story of "The Wizard of Oz" from a modern, spiritual, point of view. He takes each character and place and explores it as a symbol of our spiritual evolution. This book is filled with wisdom and simple common sense; it is a profound guidebook that takes its’ readers on their own inner adventure along the yellow brick road of life. Darren travels widely in the USA and abroad leading workshops. DaVeed Forrest: DaVeed, who appeared on Show #35, is a shaman, author, and teacher who brings his remarkable personal story to us.

He has written an exciting new book, "Inner Passages, Outer Journeys", about his experiences and techniques leading groups into remote areas to use the power of Nature to transcend into higher levels of consciousness and to help heal themselves. David offers healing journeys through the organization he founded, "Inward Bound, Wilderness Healing Journeys." to Peru, Africa, the Sinai Desert, and Canada, among others.
David, who appeared on Bridging Show # 181 with Miki Huber,
began his journey to Peace and Oneness in 1986 when he encountered the Present Moment and
recognized it as the experience he had seemed to be seeking for during many, many years. In the early years David meditated and
pondered and contemplated many things with passionate intensity, often focusing for eight
or more hours a day. After two years of
this practice, David began to seek the company of others who were similarly interested in
Living in the Present Moment. In 1991 David was impelled to
make another leap of trust and to begin traveling around the United States and Canada,
sharing his clarity of understanding related to the Present Moment and the experience of
Oneness. David found that it was constant joy
and peace that was the best teacher in all encounters, and that it was this peace that all
his brothers and sisters were seeking. David
has never charged for his time, teaching or anything and he been supported entirely by
love offerings. In all his years of traveling and sharing the wisdom of Now, David has
become a living demonstration of the principles of the Present Moment and Inner Peace. David can be e-mailed at: david@awakening-mind.org or called at:

David has appeared on numerous syndicated cable TV shows, local news, radio programs, and has been the guest speaker for graduation ceremonies, national events and numerous churches and organizations across the country, all in an effort to share his unique style of Love, Compassion and Healing with the human race. His commitment is to make a difference in as many peoples' lives as possible, for he believes that everyone has the inherent right to live with a free heart. David, with his partner, Bonnie, who appeared on Show # 137, are co creators of GaiaStar Mandalas, ecstatic visions of the living earth. Their goal in creating their magnificent artwork and evolutionary services is to catalyze the awakening of global being. In 1993, after 20 years of intensive spiritual practice, they found themselves drawn into a life-changing embrace with the Earth. In order to comprehend the process they were going through, they began making art. By working with close-up photographs of Nature, using collage and computer software, they created images that conveyed the alchemical fusion of heavenly and earthly elements into a new self-luminous reality. They call this lit-up world the GaiaStar. "We thought of ourselves as translators; people who decipher a message in one language and encode it into another. We had the experience of making contact at a core level with our planet and finding it full of spirit-light and presence. Our immediate mission was to find a way to "notate", in the form of visual (photographic) information, the vibrational essences we drew from that contact. When we selected a portion of a photograph, it became a bit of source code, which we reassembled into mandala images. The images could then speak in the Earth’s visual voice about the emergence of a new global possibility." Dean Brooks:After spending 20 years as a successful actor in both television and film, and having developed two theaters in Hollywood, starring in, directing and producing in each, and having become a Sensei with an honorary third degree in the Martial Art of Kenpo, Dean, who appeared on "Bridging's" 106th Show with his wife, Deborah, can safely be considered a true renaissance man. Now he has embarked on a career as an author. With a background in eastern philosophy, spiritualism, esoteric thought, and mysticism, the fantasy stories within the Magical Journey Books were born. The stories are written in the language of enchantment, naming spirits, angels, truth seekers, wise guides, magical swords, talking creatures, caves and castles, all intended to give rise to the inner mysteries contained within the magical journey of the soul, and all illustrated by Deborah. Deborah Brooks: A successful designer of homes and office interiors in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, Deborah, who appeared on "Bridging's" 106th Show with her husband, Dean, had just relocated to Corona del Mar, CA when Dean discovered in a book about angels a brief description of the Amesha Spentas that appeared as emanations of light from a loving God. With no art training, Deborah literally picked up a brush and began painting. What sprang forth was a series of giant goddesses, angels nearly seven feet tall, some in triptych spanning seven feet wide. "I literally felt as if God was holding my hand as I painted," she says. Art critics have traded skepticism for celebration, calling her work "enchanting; ancient images with antique faces; seven emanations of Light who keep the world in harmony." Deborah and Dean now live in Harmony, California where she runs the Deborah Brooks Gallery; a world of inspiration, magic, enchantment, and exquisite art. Dennis, who appeared on Show #45, is a brilliant and humble spiritual being. His new book, "The Tao of Natural Breathing: For Health, Well-Being and Inner Growth" clearly, concisely, and vigorously explores how the power of natural breathing can improve our health and well-being. Dennis takes us on his own fascinating journey into the physiology, psychology, and spirituality of breathing, showing us the intimate relationship of the way we breath to our quest for healing and wholeness. Devananda Giri: Devananda, who appeared on Show #64 with Montino Bourbon, is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tai Ji Quan Practitioner. He will share with us his vast insights into the Philosophy and Practice of Tai Ji and will offer us a live demonstration of Yang Style 40 Movement Form and 54 Movement Sword Form. Born with intuitive and
psychic abilities, Devra, who appeared on Bridging Show # 194, began interacting and
communicating with Arch Angel Michael at the tender age of six. As a child,
Devra’s family and teachers often perceived and dismissed her ‘one-sided’
conversations with Arch Angel Michael as merely an “invisible friend.”
As Devra grew older she became aware of many other angels, guides and spirits
around her and the individuals she came into contact with. Diana, who appeared on Bridging Show # 203, is a spiritual counselor and

Dreaming-Bear is an internationally
renowned spoken word artist who has been described as the “Shakespeare of Quantum
Physics” by leading astronomer, Harriet Witt. His remarkable and powerful gift of
blending quantum understandings of the universe with inner expressions of the heart has
made him not only a highly sought speaker, but also a transformational light in the
thousands of lives he has inspired. “I have devoted my life to the
artful weaving of conscious expressions that give something of beauty and value back to
the world,” says Dreaming-Bear. “My words are vessels for the voice of the
universe to open hearts and minds to embracing their own capacity for greatness.” The foundation for Dreaming-Bear’s
work as a transformational artist is deeply personal. Born to a runaway teenage mother and
refugee father, he survived through years of poverty and abuse. When he was eight years
old, he witnessed the death of his brother and the kidnapping of his sister. To cope with
an overwhelming sense of pain and loss, he began to write, beginning the alchemical
inspiration for metamorphosis and spiritual discovery. Dreaming-Bear has traveled the world
extensively, sharing his message of unconditional love, forgiveness, and fulfillment of
personal potential with audiences as diverse as international dignitaries, corporate
groups, and third world refugees. He holds a master’s degree in Communications and is
the author of seven inspirational books and two spoken word cd’s. Dreaming-Bear is a
frequent guest in the media and was featured in Without Walls, a documentary on peace in
the Middle East. He is an acclaimed keynote speaker and conducts seminars, workshops, and
inspired gatherings worldwide.

Erick, who appeared on Bridging Show # 99 with Sudama and Bridging Show # 182, is a Mayan spiritual guide and healer. He was initiated into Native sacred rites over a twenty year period with direct teachings and guidance from various Native spiritual elders from Mexico, the United States, and Guatemala. Erick is a member and representative of various indigenous elders and spiritual guides from many nations. His teachings are based upon Native spirituality. The goal of the teachings is to find beauty, harmony, and balance so that a deeper understanding of the self, in connection with the Oneness of the universe, can be achieved. The elders and spiritual guides feel that the time has come to share their sacred knowledge with all of humanity, so that life on Earth will continue to flourish. Erick works for the unification and healing of all people. Erik, who appeared on Show # 86, is an International Recording Artist and Healer who shares his gifts throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, New Zealand and South America. Combining his Rich Tenor Voice and Beautiful Irish Harp with years of spiritual discipline and personal healings, he has created a momentum of energy for the Angels to work with. Having performed in places such as Machu Pichu, the Great Pyramid, Glastonbury, and his home, Mount Shasta, California, there is a weaving of energy of the Earth's power points through his harp into every recording and place he plays. Erik has been on numerous television and radio programs and his music is distributed through the world. Estara's gift is to channel energies of the Divine Mother and the Ascended Masters to help others free their bodies and express who they truly are. Her soul mission at this time is to bring the creative force back to the planet through her dance (The Sacred Dance of Ishtar), and to help others find the key to release their own creative potential. In her dance, she embodies the Goddess, reverberating a frequency that spontaneously resonates and triggers the Goddess-force in others, unlocking the flow of the primordial feminine or Shakti energy. Evan, co-author of the magnificent new novel, "Sanctuary--The Path to Consciousness" (who appeared on Show # 88 with Stephen Lewis and Sapphron Obois), began his exploration of consciousness at an early age. He started practicing various forms of yoga in 1974 and he has also studied feng-shui with grandmaster Professor Lin Yun for many years. In addition to yoga and feng-shui, Evan has practiced other connections between the body, the mind, and the Universe, including hypnotherapy, reiki, and meditation.

Raitt for a decade to countless studio sessions and tours with artists ranging from John
Mayall, CSN, Maria Muldaur, Neil Young, and Ringo Starr, to T.V. appearances on
"Saturday Night Live," "Midnight Special," and "Muppets
Tonight," as well as tuba performances with Dr. John and the legendary Spinal
Tap, Freebo, who appeared on Bridging Show # 211, has achieved status and respect in
a creative and highly competitive field. Not satisfied with simply resting on his
laurels as a top sideman, however, Freebo has continued to push his creative
envelope, and has evolved into an award winning singer/songwriter with three
solo CDs to his credit; 1999's "The End Of The Beginning," 2002's "Dog
People" (songs about the human/canine connection), and his latest, "Before
The Separation", which was nominated in 5 categories in the JPF Awards,
had 2 songs in the top 10 of the International Songwriting Competition, and won the
prestigious South Florida Folk Festival Songwriting Competition. Showing his complete arrival and comfort
as a singer/songwriter, The Philadelphia Inquirer said of his latest CD,
"Freebo's stepping into a new role of singer/songwriter suits him well. 'Before
the Separation' flows with a compassionate spirit rooted in '60s ideals, but packing
a gently urgent relevancy. Freebo's songs span styles from folk, blues, &
country to R&B, reggae, and rock'n'roll, and his live performances, mainly
on acoustic guitar, take you on a musical and lyrical ride, creating an intimate
unity with his audience”. Freebo’s website is: http://www.FreeboMusic.com Gary, who appeared on Show # 116 with the musical videos of Ellen Edwards, is a healer residing in Los Angeles, California who was given the gift of healing on his 31st birthday after having earlier been prophesized that it would be so. He believes that his destiny consists of three purposes: (1) that he is here to heal people of their pain, of their suffering, and to connect them with their souls; (2) that he is here to inspire people to find and live their divine purposes; and (3) that he is here to help shatter the mythology that we must fear God, that He is outside of ourselves or that He judges us. Gary has received great acclaim for his divine healing approach and has already touched many through his incredible gift. In "WHOSE HANDS ARE THESE?" Gene, who appeared on Shows # 143 and 147, tells his extraordinary story of how he went from an electrical contractor who didn't even believe in such things as healing to a healer that is so well respected that he is sought out all over the world by medical doctors, celebrities, political leaders and even royalty. He also shows the reader exactly how spiritual healing takes place and he recounts some of the most moving healing stories from some of the 500,000 people he has worked on in the past decade. One such story comes to mind. Egidio, while on a healing mission several years ago in Russia, was traveling on a train. He shared a compartment with a man, a stranger. Instantly, he sensed that the man had a problem with the left side of his face. When asked, the man said it was true; that he had been hurt in the Chernobyl accident, and had since been living with extreme pain from radiation poisoning and cancer in the left side of his jaw. Both men went to sleep since it was night. However, Gene spent much of the evening sending healing energy to the man. In the morning, when the man woke up, he started shrieking in amazement. He said he, no longer felt the excruciating pain that he had lived with for so long, and he said the hole in his mouth was gone -- as if someone had sewn it up. He burst into tears and said that he had been a communist for 40 years and that this was the first time he knew there was a God. There are dozens of heartwarming stories like this in the book. He also takes us through the process of how he became a spiritual healer, starting at the tender age of five, although his gift was actually present at birth. However, when he healed a neighbor's thumb that was hanging by a thread, his parents got frightened. They ended up putting Gene in a sanitarium, where he got shock treatments, which destroyed his gift. The book chronicles how he went on to live a normal life; went into the navy, got married, had four children, opened an electrical contracting company, etc. Then it happened. His gift returned. The story of how it returned and how he kept resisting his extraordinary gift will keep readers glued to the book. The rest of the book chronicles how he made the transition from an electrical contractor to a world renown healer and details the incredible stories of healing that have taken place all over the world with all types of illnesses. Lastly, he explains how the whole spiritual healing process takes place and how miracles can occur for any of us. Egidio spends most of his time healing others. He has two healing centers, one in Encinitas and one in Santa Monica. It is here that people come from all over to receive healing energy directly from his hands. He also travels frequently to other cities and countries to do his work. Sometimes on these trips he works on hundreds or thousands of people at once. During his first trip to Russia, he worked on over 4,000 people and on another visit, 8,000. For those that can’t travel to see Gene in person he has one day a week set aside for phone healings – and they are every bit as effective. People call Gene from just about every country in the world. People even send him photos. He has several walls set aside at his healing center in Encinitas, for photos that come in from all over the world. Gene says the healing energy he transmits can help a person even through a photograph. Many people ask how he heals people, Gene's response is: "It's really a gift. The same way that some people are born with gifts to be great dancers, singers, athletes, scientists, etc. I was born with the gift of healing. The way that I heal is somewhat difficult for an American brought up with traditional medicine to understand. In the Soviet Union, there are quite a few people with gifts like I have. They are called "sensitives". As common as the M.D. is to America is how common the "sensitive" is to the Soviet Union. The energy Gene works with is used similarly to the way a martial arts master breaks bricks. He has a particular mastery of energy and uses it to break the brick. It is not done with force. It is simply a mastery of using energy for a particular purpose. As the laws of subatomic physics state, 'at the base of everything there is only energy'. Like the martial arts master, Gene use the energy that is at the base of everything. "My purpose is to heal with it." Russia awarded him with the prestigious Cosmonaut Medal several years ago, which is similar to a Nobel Prize over there, for healing thousands of Chernobyl victims of cancer and radiation poisoning. It’s only been given out twice in the last hundred years; first to former President Miterand of France and then to Egidio. Gloria, joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging Art Project and glorious guest on Bridging Shows #175 and # 200 , always loved reading, writing, and inspiration, but she never gave much thought to God -- let alone dream that a day would come when she would hang on to every word of the Greatest Storyteller of All. Only after forty-two years of wandering did she become conscious of a desire for God. Then it was another twenty years more before she began to hear a whisper. Now, looking back, she can see a tiny hint here or there but nothing to prepare her for what was to come. After teaching creative writing and business communications, she learned and taught meditation, travelled Europe, studied in Thailand and India, and discovered God back in America. Of all the messengers along the way, two were movies! One was a photograph. At least one was a book. And, of course, many, many were people. There was no one great epiphany. There were many great ones and some little ones. But, suddenly -- ah, there was God. Ever since Gloria discovered God, she has been writing down beautiful messages from Heaven every day and emailing Heavenletters to subscribers all over the world, from a hard-working father in Iran to a yogi in an ashram in Nepal; from a fourteen-year old school girl to Dr. Bernie Siegel, author and early pioneer in the field of mind, body, spirit medicine ; from clergy of all religions to atheists; from truck drivers to Allan, the host of the Bridging Heaven and Earth TV Show! Heavenletters™, translated into eight languages, stir what is already in your heart. Is there anyone out there in the world who, deep in their heart, doesn’t yearn to come closer to God? In addition to sharing God’s messages, Gloria’s mission is to: *Increase the desire in all hearts to deepen their own intimacy with God. *Lead each soul to dare to tap into their own in-born God-given ability to “hear” God for themselves *Inspire everyone to appoint themselves Godwriters™. There are presently over 2,000 Heavenletters™. Heavenletters, Love Letters from God, Book One, winner of the Chelson Inspiration award, is soon to be published in Greece. Gloria is working on a second book on death and dying, a third on How to Godwrite™ and a fourth of God’s words about Christ. The Godwriting™ International Society of Heaven Ministries also makes Heaven CD’s and E-books, answers personal questions, and gives Godwriting™ Workshops, all in the Name of God with the one desire to bring Earth closer to Heaven. “May love grow in the human heart today. May love come out and, like the sun this morning, rise to High Noon.” See Beautiful Heavenletter Flash Presentation http://www.deeptrancenow.com/heavenletters.html Visit Website www.heavenletters.org Add your comment to Heaven Blog www.godwriting.org Visit Heavenletters Community Forum: A meeting place for Conscious People Goddess Alive Festival: Our home site, Santa Barbara, is also home to the annual "Goddess Alive" Festival. "Bridging", for its fiftieth show, was honored this year to have the Founder (Paula Vigneault), the Artistic Director (Valerie Gerard), the writers (Valerie and Mujiba Cabugas), and several performers (Lori Ann David and Lisa Thomas, among others) from the performance piece "Return of the Dream", speaking and performing on the show. The Festival, a call to the reawakening and fulfillment of that aspect of the human experience called the "Feminine Nature", with the subtext of "A Call to Freedom", was passionately discussed. Guy Monroe: Guy, who appeared on Show # 122 with Matthew Pallamary, is often referred to as a master "heart opener", with a singing voice that is both penetrating and soothing. His singing style is expressive, sweet, and comes from the deepest part of the soul. His new CD, "Life Without Time", will be released shortly. Gwendolyn, a joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging International Healing Art Project who appeared on Bridging Show # 228, was born in England in 1953 with a natural gift of being able to see into the spiritual realms. She studied as an artist and photographer in England. At age 23 while visiting Mexico to photograph ancient sites in the Yucatan, she became seriously ill. Doctors’ medicines did not help her. She was eventually healed by an old Mayan “curandera.” The curandera had foreseen that Gwendolyn would come to her in a dream two years previously and had been waiting for her arrival. She trained Gwendolyn to use her spiritual gifts for healing. On her return home to England, Gwendolyn traveled around Britain learning many different healing modalities, while continuing her art career. In 1983 she married and moved to California where she worked in the animation industry. She later ran her own cartoon greeting card company and worked for Lucas films in the special effects division. She continued her healing studies during this time. In 1994, she began her healing work formally and has since lectured across America and England. She is able to see all levels of the human energy field, and helps clients resolve the problems that are causing disease. Traditional doctors often cannot see the energetic levels in the human field that are the true cause of problems. Though Gwendolyn is not a doctor, she has helped many people clear health issues that doctors had not been able to resolve. Gwendolyn currently works in Palm Springs, California
as a medical intuitive, healer and spiritual teacher. Her most recent book A Cry from
the Womb published by Angels of Light and Healing discusses her fascinating and
heartfelt work in detail. Gwendolyn’s website is: http://www.AngelsOfLightAndHealing.org
Hank, who appeared on Show # 124 with Salo Stanley and Mark Shuklian, received his doctoral degree from the University of California at Berkeley and has worked with an international group of scientists for much of the past 30 years, exploring Eastern Africa’s Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. Born in New York, Hank served in the U.S. Peace Corps and has taught for Kiriji Memorial College and Adeola Odutola College in Nigeria; the University of California at San Diego; the West Hawaii at Hilo; and California State University at Sacramento. He currently resides in Northern California, where he teaches at American River College and Sierra College and offers experiential workshops and presentations in core shamanism worldwide. He is the author of Spiritwalker, Medicinemaker and his new book Visionseeker: Shared Wisdom from the Place of Refuge. Hank is one of those rare, cutting edge, scientists who truly walks between the worlds. Harold, who appeared on Bridging Show # 208, has dedicated his life to living and sharing unconditional love. His company, Internal Insights, carries the mission to “empower people through self awareness and unconditional love” and his non-profit, The Love Foundation, Inc., was formed with the intent to “inspire people to love unconditionally.” Harold has blended incredible insight and intuition with humor, compassion and kindness for a strong motivational vision in all of his endeavors, which include writing, speaking and consulting. Harold’s success and powerful understanding about life is evident in his collective work including, “Internal Power: Seven Doorways To Self Discovery”, New World Library, Novato, CA, 1993, “Unconditional Love - Freeing the Angel Within, Unconditional Love Is..”, and a national PBS special entitled, Unconditional Love -A Guide to Personal Freedom (1997). In his desire to touch the world with a message of love, Harold founded Global Love Day, an international celebration of humanity held annually on May 1st. Harold’s continuing expressions focus on universal understandings and the transcendent power of unconditional love. Harold's exceptional awareness of life comes from his lifelong commitment to helping others. After his mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1985, Harold devoted much of his spare time working with cancer patients and their families. (She is in remission, having combined his techniques and traditional treatment.) He has volunteered thousands of hours to assist people through their, often devastating, personal traumas and happily shares his wisdom and understanding with anyone who asks. An ambitious, self-motivating achiever, Harold worked his way through college in management positions and earned his MBA by age 25. Harold's natural talent in the business field earned him high praise and respect by all involved. In a bold move, he left a management position in the banking industry to realize his dream, based on the premise that we all have the internal power to live life freely and joyfully. Harold has pursued a life of service, personal growth, and unconditional love and always searches for the highest and best out of every personal experience. From his workshops, TV and radio interviews, numerous public appearances, post prison/ addiction outreach program, and community leadership roles, Harold’s forthright approach conveys his message directly with the confidence and power of one who knows Love. Harold's Website is: www.TheLoveFoundation.com Harold, who appeared on Show # 97, is the president of the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association, and the creator of Watsu, Tantsu, Co-centering and Watsu CQ--new body modalities that he has generously and graciously shared since their inception with students and practitioners around the world. The profundity and effectiveness of the bodywork forms he has created reflect his passionate practice and deep understanding of energy and the body. And the creativity of these forms reflects his background as a poet in the San Francisco Renaissance. His current book, "Watsu: Freeing the Body in Water", is an eloquent testament to the power of both his writing and his bodywork. Heather Anne Harder: Heather, who appeared on Show # 80 with Shanti Shivani Maffey and Annette Cantor, is seeking the Democratic Nomination for President of the United States and has dedicated her life to creating a better way for those around her. She is an educator, scholar, businesswoman, author, and mother. She is a woman of great power and conviction, who translates that conviction into determined and clear action. More importantly for those of us at "Bridging", and for its viewers, Heather is a woman of great love and compassion….who is intimately in touch with, and guided by, her direct experience of the Oneness. Ignacio was born in a small countryside village in Paraguay into a family of musicians. He began performing with them at the age of four. He has mastered several traditional South American instruments including the bamboo flute, bombo, guitar, charango, and the Paraguayan harp.

In the summer of his seventh year, Isaac, who appeared on Show # 117 with Shanti Shivani, had a life-changing spiritual experience in which he was shown the reason for his being on Earth by an angelic presence. The encounter was so overwhelming that he psychologically suppressed it. In January of 1994, Isaac experienced a spontaneous kundalini awakening that altered his life entirely. He began to remember the spiritual agreements that were presented to him as a child. After four years of personal healing and inward journeying, Isaac left his career in the music retail industry in order to answer the inner call that had manifested, and to assist in the co-creation of Heaven on Earth. Today, Isaac channels the Archangels Ariel and Michael, the Ascended Masters Jesus and St. Germain, and travels wherever Spirit directs to offer discourses on personal and planetary empowerment and unconditional love. He also facilitates a transformational, spiritual technology entitled "Mystery School for the New Millenium", and is working on two books for publication. Isaac is a gifted musician and his intuitive guitar and keyboard stylings are both healing and inspiring.

He established the Foundation for Divine Living, a non-profit organization dedicated to Divine-Self-Realization. His presence and example helps awaken the ever-present God-Consciousness potential within every Heart. His collected works are entitled, "Unconditional Love & The Way: An Adventurer’s Guide Into Life, Consciousness and Being". Jim – also known as Rishi Yogadhi Pragya in India and in spiritual circles, who appeared on Bridging Show # 239, is a visionary, health educator, author, teacher and inventor. From the age of four he had unusual spiritual experiences of the past and the future and was sometimes found even at that early age innocently absorbed quietly in meditation. These experiences as they became stronger along with the deep empathy he felt with others led to a turbulent youth. At the age of twenty-one he formally discovered meditation. Inspired by the illuminating experiences that came, subsequently he taught this meditation and other health and advanced personal development techniques to many thousands of individuals in the United States and other countries around the world. During this time he was a founder of two spiritual communities and retreat centers and a chain of holistic health clinics. He continued this search into The Enlightened Mind for 36 years under the personal guidance of three spiritual giants of our age whose teaching have personally benefited the lives of tens of millions of individuals. Ultimately this culminated in an insight into the Oneness of all life that could not be denied. With the blessings and encouragement of these teachers he then began the Santosha Foundation to offer programs to share the insights that came and to support the many thousands of individuals who he believes are destined to live the Enlightened Mind during this unparalleled time of Spiritual growth in human history. Dr. Weldon is a Naturopathic Physician. He holds technology patents in 30 countries and is the author of three books and 2 DVD’s and a Colorado TV series on Health and Spirituality.

He painted and because he had nothing else, Jerry laid his entire identity on that. "It didn't hold", Jerry admits.....but then...he became nothing and found everything. Jerry, twenty years ago, at the height of his very successful art career, went on a long, powerful, and introspective fast which resulted in his decision to destroy all his artwork. Surrender and trust remain the two most important gifts of that original experience. A wonderful new video, "In the Hands of Alchemy" explores these marvelous areas with Jerry in a forceful and delightful manner.

Bridging Show # 220) message explores the awakening to inner peace and freedom, and what
is involved in transforming conflict, stress, and suffering into clarity, well-being,

successful private practice teaching others how to heal and transform their lives
from within. In 1983, he embarked on a nine-month spiritual quest through China,
Bali, Nepal, India, and the South Pacific. A year later, when he returned to California,
he met Jean Klein, a European master of Advaita Vedanta, the direct path to
awakening. Under Jean’s guidance, Jim eventually realized his true nature and found
the inner peace and freedom he had spent twenty years seeking. He has published two books focusing on
integrating spirituality with everyday life: The Way of Harmony: Walking the Inner
Path to Balance, Happiness, and Success (Avon, 1999), and The Ultimate Cure: The Healing

Sine 1992, Jo has traveled extensively sharing the wisdom of her path, teaching ancient knowledge through The Pulse Technique, Pineal Gland Initation and Compassion as a Living Art as well as other topics. Jo has been featured on many TV and radio shows and inspires large crowds as she shares her gifts of spirit. Joel, who appeared on Shows #28, 44, and 134 with his partner and wife, Serafina, is probably the most famous and inspirational harpist in the world. The "Golden Harp of Joel Andrews" is a world renowned designation for Joel’s music. He is a gifted, highly-trained, spiritual renaissance musician and author of the book, "A Harp Full of Stars", that chronicles his last 20 years as a music healer. He tours world-wide raising consciousness through concerts, workshops and individual sessions. The Higher Forces work through the music, with a system of symbolic interpretation which intrinsically links the outer combination of tones, intervals, chords, and patterns with the inner essence of their meaning, to bring about healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual planes. For the fourth season of "Bridging", the sound track and the audio behind the opening and closing videos was played and composed almost solely by Joel. John, who appeared on Bridging Show # 179, first recognized the human
capacity to dream one's life destiny into being approximately fifteen years ago.
Over the next twelve years he would use this skill to direct his path in life. Three
years ago he began to feel a strong desire to be of greater service to his fellow human
beings and the planet. This led him to adopt the experiential path of
shamanism. John is a writer, small businessman and a shamanic healer who studied
with Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. of The Four Winds Society. His first book, THE SHIFT:
AN AWAKENING, is an extraordinary work of power and grace. Currently, John is touring the country to spread the word about the
message in THE SHIFT. He is speaking at bookstores and various organizations about
the New Dream and the power of one person to make a difference. He is conducting workshops
on Destiny, Dreaming, Protection and Karma. He is also offering private shamanic healing
sessions and he is available for phone consultations. E-mail address: johnenglish@dtpublications.com Website: http://www.dtpublications.com Jonathan, an internationally recognized teacher, healer, and artist, was born and raised in the rural and rugged landscape of New Zealand. In his extensive travels around the world, he was fascinated by the various teachings that strove for higher consciousness. A universal theme he encountered was the presence of Sacred Geometry. He was so inspired by the beauty, love, and power of Sacred Geometry that he chose to devote the rest of his life to the pursuit of the subject that combined art, science, and mystery. Jonathan has spent the last twelve years dedicated to the study and artistic expression of Sacred Geometry, focusing upon its therapeutic qualities and employing it as a tool for deeper understanding of the majesty of Life. Perhaps best known for his role in initiating the world famous Harmonic Convergence global peace meditation of August 16-17, 1987, Jose, who appeared on Show # 159 with the Music Videos of Twinflame, was also one of the originators of the Earth Day concept and is recognized as the “father of the Whole Earth Festival,” now in its 33rd year at Davis, California. Holding a Ph.D. in art history and aesthetics from the University of Chicago (1969), José’s career as an educator has included professorships at Princeton University, University of California Davis, the Evergreen State College, Olympia Washington, the Naropa Institute, San Francisco State University, the University of Colorado and the Union Graduate School. An artist as well as an author, his numerous books include the international best seller, The Mayan factor, Earth Ascending, Surfers of the Zuvuya, the Arcturus Probe and the recently published Time and the Technosphere, The law of Time in Human Affairs. A spiritual seeker, Jose studied Tibetan Buddhism for many years with noted meditation master, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, yet feels it is important to break out of the shell of all organized religion and establish what he calls a “return to UR -the Universal religion.” But it is his pioneering work on the Mayan Calendar that has absorbed his energies most passionately. Ever since he had a visionary experience at the age of fourteen atop the Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacan, Mexico in 1953, he has pursued a lifelong investigation of the mathematics and prophecies associated with the Mayan calendar. His decoding of the Mayan calendar has resulted in an interactive game called Dreamspell, the Journey of Timeship Earth 2013, and the discovery of the Law of Time. According to the Law of Time, modern humanity is in trouble because it is immersed in an erroneous and artificial perception of time which causes it deviate at an accelerated rate from the natural order of the universe. To remedy this situation, Arguelles has been promoting the return to a natural timing cycle through the regular measure of the Thirteen Moon 28-day calendar. Since the end-date of the current Great Cycle of the Mayan calendar is in the year 2012, in order to survive the worst, humanity must make a shift to natural time - and soon. According to Arguelles, the time for this shift is July 25-26, 2004, the Great Calendar Change, when he is calling upon humanity to reject the current calendar and adopt the natural time Thirteen Moon 28-day calendar. Currently serving as the Director of Research and Senior Advisor of the Foundation for the Law of Time the organization that promotes his cause, on March 3, 2002, Arguelles was honored as “Valum Votan, Closer of the Cycle” by Nine Indigenous Elders atop the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan who awarded him a ceremonial staff for his efforts in helping to wake humanity up to the meaning of 2012. Joy Boisvert: Joy combines the best of medical intuition with the unique technique of “angelic” and “divine” guidance, similar to that received by Edgar Cayce, Caroline Myss, Mona Lisa Schultz, and Helen Schucman (who wrote and received the “Course in Miracles” through “divine” dictation. Her message is to assist the raising of earth’s vibration. Joy is truly a magical healer and teacher.

pursue other endeavours. Shortly thereafter, she founded Shoes for the Soul, Inc., an
organization where she serves as President and Executive Director, responsible for the
introduction, development, management and operations of this innovative, grassroots
non-profit, whose mission is dedicated to placing a new pair of shoes on the feet of
economically challenged children in South Florida. Via her initiative and partnering with

Kate Wolf: Kate (1942-1986), a magical singer/songwriter, began in the genre of folk music in the 1970’s with sensitive poetic songs such as "Back Roads", "The Lilac and the Apple", and "The Trumpet Vine", celebrating the joys and challenges of living simply and in harmony with the earth. In the 1980’s, her life experiences caused her music to grow in depth and spirituality, resulting in such visionary work as "Brother Warrior", "Medicine Wheel", "Give Yourself To Love", and "The Wind Blows Wild." At the height of her fame, and as she was about to gain major national attention, she was diagnosed, in early 1986, with acute leukemia and left her body in December of that year. Her work continues to reach new listeners with its sensitivity, beauty, simplicity, and truth. Her family has honored "Bridging Heaven & Earth" by making video and audio tapes of Kate’s magic available for telecast. We were delighted to bring her gifts to you as part of Shows # 56 and #67.Kathleen, who appeared on Bridging show # 210 with Dr.
Bhupinder Chandel, is an associate healer working with Bhupinder. She is a native of California, born in Marin
County. In 2006, she received her doctorate
in the Healing Arts; the President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, presented to her this
most prestigious degree. Kathleen also holds the distinguished titles of: Chancellor
IAMA/Canada, Treasurer IAMA/USA, and the Course Director Alternative Medicine
University/India. Kathleen initially came to Bhupinder as a client. She
was suffering horribly from several disorders and had tried just about every known
treatment but none of them were effective. After
an appropriate number of healing sessions with Bhupinder, Kathleen was permanently healed;
so moved was she by the compassionate care and mindful practice of the good healer, that
she dedicated her life to studying with him. From
the healing she received, Kathleen’s life has been forever changed in the most
positive of ways, and now using her own Yogi Shakti, she assists Bhupinder with his
healing sessions. Many clients arrive at the doorstep of Bhupinder and
Kathleen as a last resort. Their ailments and
disease range from arthritis to kidney disease, from migraines to heart problems, from
cancer to infertility; the list is extensive. They
had all sought out various other treatment modalities with little or no success, many had
received a bleak prognosis from their doctor. With
Chandel’s Method of Healing, patients
became healed and remained so, regaining the priceless quality of good health. Together, Bhupinder and Kathleen hold a beautiful
vision and mission of healing the people of the world through their Natural Healing
Foundation; their ministry looks forward to establishing a healing center in Santa
Barbara. Kathleen's website is: http://www.ChandelsHealingFoundation.com Kathryn, who appeared on Show #30, is a talented and inspirational artist whose works uplift and transcend. Her personal story of trial, faith, and love is one of the most powerful of all those heard on the "Bridging" shows. The camera work on Kathryn’s paintings was truly exceptional for this show. Kathy,
who appeared on Show # 191 with Patricia Karen Gagic, is a native of Cleveland, Ohio and a 1980
graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University (BFA), where she majored in painting. Exposure to
world cultures and geographies has been a significant influence on her artistic process. Of particular importance have been travels to
locales in Africa, India, the Far East, and Europe. Many
hours traveling in planes and viewing the Earth from above led her to note common patterns
between apparently disparate habitats. This
was followed by her subsequent on-the-ground encounters with the peoples of these
countries through which common patterns between their apparently disparate cultures became
obvious. Kathy’s curiosity about human
relations, physics, sacred geometry, and the natural environment were thus stimulated, and
this provides the basis for her artistic consideration of natural, and potentially
universal, structures and states. Her work
can be described as the exploration of energy templates arising from an intuitive response
to the patterns and states observed. Intellectual influences include Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Victor Frankl. Artistic influences include, O’Keefe, Picasso, Pollack, Gaudi, and Klimt. Among the living, Bourgeois, Goldsworthy, and Jamali provide continuing intrigue, while the Master Artist Adi Da Samraj serves as the single greatest influence on her work, particularly in the area of her consideration of light as the source condition of the structures and states that she paints. In 2004, Kathy was invited to
participate as one of 20 artists featured in the extraordinary Portfolio Project being
developed by the Colours of Freedom Foundation
of Toronto, Canada (www.ColoursOfFreedom.com). The Colours
of Freedom Foundation, formed in response to the events of September 11, “is
devoted to the development and implementation of programs and curricula that bring
children together in dialogue, exchange of ideas, culture and shared experiences”. The Colours
of Freedom Children’s Peace Initiatives Fund within the Foundation is the vehicle
for raising financial support for these engagements with the world, and The Portfolio

Lessia was so universally acclaimed for her appearance on Show #82 that we wanted to make every effort to have her return to "Bridging" for another appearance. While we are still trying to work out an available date for a later show, we were able to get two videos of Lessia’s music for the 95th show. One, "Heaven & Earth" was co-written with Allan and features a slide presentation by an old friend of "Bridging", Walter Mathison, while the other, "Enough God", is part of a beautiful video done by Nancy Campbell. Both of these songs are on Lessia’s recently released new album, produced by Allan and Lessia, "Lessia Bridging Heaven & Earth".

Mary, joyous and loving collaborator in the International Bridging Heaven & Earth Art Project, is a mystic artist/writer, spiritual educator and visionary who appeared on Bridging Show # 209 and Bridging Show # 229. Nature was the first potent childhood teacher of Mary. Here she learned she could experience a deep connectedness with nature. Her formal university education included a degree in Education-English, after which she spent eight years teaching high school and college English, Mythology and Communication. She was also a coordinator in public educational TV. Simultaneously Mary studied fine art at the University of Wisconsin. Soon after this Mary had a spontaneous soul merging which was followed by a head-on car collision that provided the opening to see her life via her soul…as pure joy. After this, Mary could see emanations of light around living things. The exalted experience of the collision initiated a new life. Mary was inspired to begin her life as an artist and to make a solo journey ‘overland’, with a kelty pack filled with one change of clothing and art supplies on her back, to Spain, Morocco, Italy, Greece, Crete, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Kashmir, where she felt the art, culture, heart and soul of those peoples and began to find the Silence within. Her first exhibit was created on that journey. Mary's visionary art is inspirational and mirrors our Oneness with Creator AS Creation. It is a reflection of the sacred marriage of earth and sky. It is a journey into the land of Archetypal realms of the wholeness that Already IS. The paintings are witness to the Law of Balance, that is the law of love. The paintings reveal the Dance of the One as the yin and yang of the Universe. The paintings are multi-dimensional, multi-technique and multi-media. They are a unique and inwardly guided expression. Mary’s paintings and work are featured in One Source Sacred Journeys, Songs from the Edge of Everything and The Ways of Spirit. Her art is collected nationally and internationally and has appeared on cards, calendars and magazines, such as Quest, Mystic Pop and Anemone in Japan. Mary’s Art-of-the-Soul has appeared on television nationwide on stations such as the Wisdom Channel. Her art and words have been featured on television cross Germany. Mary has been pioneering visionary art exhibitions that reveal universal principles of Oneness since 1972 in galleries, conferences, symposiums, expositions, fairs and workshops. Her mystic art has been in more than 140 art exhibits, including a castle in Belgium. The writings and poetry and art of Mary Saint-Marie are in her 5 books. Mary just returned from a sabbatical in Taos, New Mexico where she finished her most recent books, which are The Holy Sight, Messages from the Silence, Nectar of Woman and The Sacred Two. The Holy Sight book came after 20 years of sharing in individual Soul Sessions about holy relationships with everyone and everything. Mary began teaching others how to use these principles even in large law suits where amazing shifts began to happen. She has also taught The Holy Sight workshops where others can learn how to do this for themselves as well as with others. Most recently Mary has completed two bronze sculptures, inspired by a vision into the realm of the female quetzalcoatl…the winged serpent…that reveals once again, the marriage of yin and yang that already exists as our Being. She has also begun a third card line. The book that has been released as of October 2006 is The Sacred Two. This 8 ½ X 11 book features over 50 paintings in full color; it is a ‘heralding of the sacred partners as the foundation of the emerging world of conscious Oneness.’ Soul Sessions and Soul Retreats for individuals are also shared. Mary has been working with others since 1988 to come into Presence and allow the principles of Oneness to operate in their lives. Mary’s art, sculpture, cards, books and Soul Sessions work may be seen on her website: EarthCareGlobalTV
‘Unification of Global Earth Care’ EarthCare Global TV is about the unification of the
care of the earth that brings consciousness of the interconnectedness and interrelatedness
of all the kingdoms and the elements of earth and the sky.
With that comes the realization of the Oneness that we all already are. Following is a shortened version of the vision that
came. A collective Vision came to Mary for two nights in
1996 about “the people’s network television revealing the power and the
abundance returning to the people of the world”.
The illumined Vision continued over a longer period in l997. It was about the creation of EarthCare Global TV
for the unification of the care of the earth. Its
purpose is to provide free education to inspire the people of the world in the care of the
earth and all of her inhabitants. Its purpose
is to share the understanding of the inviolate universal Law of Balance in all of nature
that the principle may be realized in daily sustainable life by all. The Law of Balance is the Law of Nature and that
is the Law of Love in action. EarthCare Global TV is being created as a global
educational television station providing 24 hours a day free programs and news on earth
care. It is by the people and for the people
and for the rights of the earth and her kingdoms and inhabitants. There are now about 28 categories of care, green,
environmental, etc. that will be shared. Individuals
and organizations that have been working toward the care of the earth will be invited to
share via interviews, forums, documentaries, films, music, art, stories, etc. The Voice of Nature Speaks. Finally the voice of
nature will be listened to, heard and acted upon. EarthCare Global TV is being created as a planetary destination oasis with green model building and permaculture grounds and gardens and orchards of great beauty. EarthCare Global TV is being created to reveal the
principles on which a new culture may be formed. A
new civilization is emerging even now. ‘Action Borne of Vision’ rather than
reaction borne of fear and anger will be lived. People around the globe will be sharing their version
of ‘giving love a body.’
‘Giving Love a body begets Our New Culture’ Currently EarthCare Global TV is receiving donations,

This has inspired him to work with people as an energetic healer, dream interpreter and purveyor of self-awareness and humor. He continues to study the original histories behind mythology, psychology, philosophy, mysticism, archaeology and world religions in order to discover ancient parallels to the world of the dreaming body, the 'collective unconscious' and psychic abilities. He has authored many articles for metaphysical journals, including a recent article entitled, "Children and Out-of-Body Experiences," in which he seeks to help parents understand the often misunderstood behavior of children who are constantly in the throes of out-of-body experiences.

Until 1989 South African-born
Michael, who appeared on Bridging Show # 222, was living what he called “a blissfully
unconscious life” as a music journalist. He then developed an acutely painful
neurological condition called Horton’s Syndrome. After four years of suffering
through conventional medical approaches he embarked on a quest to heal his experience. In
1993 this intention unfolded into a nine-year odyssey that took him beyond the borders of
his home country. In San Francisco he studied Swedish Massage and Reiki Therapy. In the
Arizona Desert he studied Breathwork,. He also crossed the border to Mexico and
participated in ceremonies with the Huichol Indians. As Michael’s quest to find
relief unfolded, he began entering “present moment awareness”; a paradigm of
heightened consciousness that appeared to be running parallel to the conventional and
mundane world experience. He discovered that his repeated entry into this enlivened state
of Being, which he accomplished through ceremonial practice and conscious breathing,
resulted in a decrease of his own painful condition to the point that it subsided
completely. In the late 90s Michael began
to chart a methodical pathway into present moment awareness with intent to develop a
practical procedure that anyone, anywhere, could follow to initiate this experience for
themselves. This procedure became known as The
Presence Process. In 2002 Michael returned to South Africa and invited others to
experience this inner journey. He discovered that as others embraced present moment
awareness they too automatically experienced release from physical, mental, and emotional
discomfort, including psychological disorders and addictions. To make this journey
accessible to everyone Michael wrote The
Presence Process: A Healing Journey Into Present Moment Awareness. Michael Brown continues to live
in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he shares his knowledge through personal
facilitation. By means of this book, his healing contribution is available for all.
Michael will be traveling extensively to speak and teach about The
Presence Process. Michael’s website is: http://www.ThePresencePortal.com Having
established himself as an actor of great diversity, Michael, who appeared on Bridging Show
# 197, has since devoted the last 4 years of his life directing his first major
independent film, ILLUSION www.IllusionTheMovie.com The film stars Goorjian alongside
Hollywood-legend Kirk Douglas, and deals with the theme of ‘following your
heart’… something Goorjian firmly believes in. Michael’s acting credits
include SLC PUNK! (Sony Pictures Classics); HARD RAIN (Paramount); the Oscar
nominated film LEAVING LAS VEGAS (MGM/UA); NEWSIES (Buena Vista); CHAPLIN
(Tristar); FOREVER YOUNG (Warner Bros.);THE INVISIBLES (Sundance selection,

straying far from the stage, Michael is a founding member of the Los Angeles based theater
group, Buffalo Nights www.BuffaloNights.org. With the company, Goorjian starred
in the West Coast premiere of Dennis McIntyre’s powerful drama, MODIGLIANI,
which won him a L.A. Weekly Theater Award nomination for best lead actor. With the
‘Nights’, Michael also received tremendous critical acclaim for playing title
roles in both productions of, THE APOLLO Of BELLAC by Jean Giraudoux, and J.B. by Archibald MacLeish. Michael also won a LA Critics Choice
and a Garland Backstage West awards for his original choreography for the L.A. production
of the musical REEFER MADNESS. Michael, who appeared on Showa #1 and #38, creates music, angelic in nature, that sets the stage for transformation and exploration of the Divine within the Human. He composes exquisite tones and harmonies working with an archangelic aspect of himself known as Archangel Yahoel. The music reaches deep into the cellular structure awakening latent knowledge and transporting the listener into high meditative states, healings, and journeys into dimensions of light. His work anchors the energies of the Above and the Below, bridging Heaven and Earth together as one for the lifting of consciousness and humanity into the Ascension. He plays 4 synthesizers at once, tracking the technical aspects of the equipment, the transmissions, the piece unfolding, and his own accelerated dimensional shifts simultaneously. When listening to these unique transmissions of love and light, the Masters and Angels and your own I Am Presence are woven together into your listening space for a heightened experience of expansion. "Bridging Heaven & Earth" used Michael’s piece Kumara Light for the Soundtrack on every show for the first three seasons. Michael appeared on the first show and Show #38. Michael is a internationally acclaimed music artist, a contemplative writer and performer whose gentle voice, guitar, and inspiring lyrics are truly vehicles for healing. He is the founder of Inner Harmony/Medicine Music and partner in Companion Media Arts, producing the Soundscapes of Compassion CD series. Over the last two decades, he has performed with many of the leading teachers and visionaries in the world, and his many albums allow the listener to be wrapped in a vibration of love. On "Bridging", he will sing songs from his latest CD, "Rocked in the Cradle," that has been described by Jeff Hutner, the editor of New Paradigm Digest as "a defining musical transformative experience, a gift to the world's collective consciousness." Michael awakens souls. With
compassion, humor and wisdom, he heals thousands of people from around the world and helps
guide them to their true destiny and life purpose. Michael, who has appeared on Bridging

share his message and gifts with a global audience. In 1994 he committed to building an
international "spiritual community without walls" with his wife, Raphaelle, also
a spiritual healer, teacher and clairvoyant. Together, they formed their own successful
publishing company. Now based in legendary

Show and Moodtyme, Inc. He is also a
consultant to CosmiKids and Our Love of Children Foundation. Michael’s website is: http://www.MichaelTamura.com At age 23, Michele, who appeared on Bridging Show # 193 and is a
joyous and loving collaborator in the International Bridging Art Project, completely
surrendered her life to God.
She asked that she be used to serve Divine Purpose as she was willing to release
everything that interfered with her path of service to Planet Earth. Immediately
upon this surrender, Archangel Raphael began to speak to her and she was visited by groups
of angels almost nightly. This frightened Michele as she didn't understand what was
happening to her.
She was soon connected to a spiritual teacher in Wisconsin who told her that she is
a world teacher and is a channel for the angels. The human part of Michele cried as
she didn't understand what God would require of her. A process began that was
stronger than her fear. She soon began to commune with the angels daily and began
receiving messages about Planet Earth as well as all individuals she met. Michele
soon discovered that this healing energy came through her so strongly that people began to
heal of physical ailments and she could see inside of their bodies. She didn't trust
these initial visions until she received hundreds of responses back from people that the
things she saw, predicted, and healed had become verified in this physical world. Michey Birger: Michey, who appeared on Bridging Show # 198, was born in Italy in 1954 and came to America when he was eight. At 14 he became a citizen, which was a wonderfully proud moment in his life. Michey excelled as an athlete but was an indifferent student in high school and in his first seven years of college. After his studies, he embarked on a long spiritual journey following the Yogic path. In his late twenties, he re-entered the world and worked mostly for himself in different professions. Approximately 14 years ago, Michey entered the healthcare field with the
establishment of a clinical hypnosis practice in the Los Angeles area. His practice
quickly spread with the addition of ECC, EMDR, NLP, Homeopathy, Clinical Nutrition,
Herbaloligy, SRT, RT, Orthomolecular Medicine and finally with the addition of his
strongest tool, Chinese Energetic (and eventually Quantum Energetic) Medicine. He also includes Yoga/meditation/breath practice
and exercise. Michey is now almost finished with his first full book on health and self-healing
which contains his belief that no one needs to suffer. He also believes that no one needs
to be poor, or to live a life in misery, fear, despair, or pain. He believes that
everything is healable. Death is not an illness, so it does not need to be
"healed". Michey is devoted to the premise that life is a blessing and a gift,
and the greatest expression of it is Love. He believes that living life well is an art and
a science. It is up to us, each and every one of us, to be the great
artist/healer/warrior/lover/enthusiast that God wants us to be/know/and re-become... Michey says,“With God, all things are possible... and yet I say, and mean,
that the healing work I do is not belief based, it is mechanical according to the basic
natural law of the universe. Everything is Energy. EVERYTHING!... all else
follows...” In a nutshell, what Michey says that he does is that he "reads" energy
in a persons field, corrects what is weakening it, roots out the causation, and creates
supports for this with all the things named above, and more.... Miki, who appeared on Bridging Show #
181 with David Hoffmeister, is a Mojave Desert, California native who lives in New York
where she is a singer/songwriter, actor, and creative learning therapist for kids with

Paul, who appeared on Show # 84 with Craig Russel and Brian David Anderson, is a master musician whose music has an essence that is magic. It evokes a higher state of feeling and inner clarity through its entirety. It's the kind of music that heals in the most gentle way.

Peter feels strongly that through Integral Regression Therapy, we can often find the original cause of our suffering in a past life, heal the trauma at its source, and completely resolve the issue as it affects our present life. In the final analysis, it doesn’t matter if these past-life images are actual memories or metaphors or fantasies. What is important is that lifelong problems can be healed-often in just a few sessions. Integral Regression Therapy uses the past-life memory as the vehicle to experience the emotional catharsis, self-understanding and healing that are the true goals of psychotherapy. Peter, who appeared on Show # 65 with Terry Lynn Taylor, is a magnificent master harpist and teacher, whose very being exudes a sense of love and beauty.

Philip (who appeared on Bridging Show # 205) is married with two children, has a Masters Degree in Strategic Marketing and 9 diploma’s ranging from Personnel Management through to Holistic Medicine and the craft of Etymology. He has come from a humble background and is self-made. Although he has been asked on numerous occasions to become "a member" of several institutions, Philip has strictly refused on the grounds of independence – seeing membership of certain organizations as being overtly influential on his research and understanding of the truths of mankind. Philip believes that some authors/researchers have been lead into membership of institutions or "societies" and are therefore of questionable authority. His background in the history of propaganda and the ancient and ongoing manipulation of mankind tell him that such things do indeed occur. He has however joined (upon being requested) a couple of what are known as secret societies in-order to find out what was happening inside – the conclusions of these journalistic forays appear in his books and he is no longer a member of any organization. Before retiring to dedicate
his time to researching and writing, Philip was a Marketing Director and owner of a
company in the UK. Part of this role included giving lectures on the art and history of
marketing and propaganda to various organizations including certain government bodies and
companies. Philip has acted as an
advisor to various other authors regarding mythology and history. In his book "The
Shining Ones" he set about proving a theory discovered regarding an ancient
priesthood calling themselves The Shining Ones who have developed into the worlds most
powerful secret society. Philip uses history, mythology, symbolism and his own expertise
of propaganda to prove his theories. He appeared on over 200 radio programs, TV and in the
general media during this launch. Currently Philip is being
promoted to the USA audience with television, radio and producers booking him for various
"Da Vinci Code" style chat shows and documentaries. Philip recently launched to
the world his discovery on the Holy Grail in a book called The Serpent Grail and also a
discovery on the Temple of Solomon in his new book Gnosis: The Secret of Solomon's Temple
Revealed. He has already written two further books due for release 2007/2008 entitled,
Gateway to the Otherworld and The Ark, The Shroud and Mary. Almost every week Philip appears on radio somewhere in the world and certainly every month he has articles published in magazines, from Kindred Spirit, Dark Wisdom and Nexus to Fortean Times and Subrosa.

Rassouli, a joyous and loving collaborator in the Bridging International Healing Art Project who appeared on Bridging Show # 233, is a visionary artist who has come to the attention of the international art world in recent years. What makes his art so unique is the way he translates spiritual experience from his subconscious onto canvas through meditation at sunrise. With vibrant hues, Rassouli produces joyful color blends and circular brushwork that create a timeless perspective. He calls his unique painting technique Fusionart, a style that Rassouli has created and registered and is presently teaching to many artists in Southern California.Fusionart's main theme is cosmic unity. The painting style is
derived from mysticism, near-eastern spirituality, and a foundation in European painting
technology. Rassouli represents this concept through illumination of the Divine Creative
Light coupled with its manifestation reflected on his canvas in the form of feminine power
and beauty.
Isfahan-born Rassouli's worldwide exhibits include numerous solo
and collective shows as well as international art expositions. His most recent book,
Insprations of the Heart is an empowering book that fuses a collection of Rassouli's
artwork with meditative thoughts by Michael Beckwith, D.D. Selective paintings by Rassouli
appear in many books, including: Jung,
Journey of Transformation and Language
of Souls, and on numerous magazine and book covers.
The mural entitled Angel
of Unity, a painting that spans 55 feet tall by 1100 feet wide, is one of
Rassouli's latest creations. The angel watches passersby at the corner of Washington Blvd.
and the pacific coast in the city of Venice, and has become a Southern California landmark
viewed daily by thousands of residents and visitors.
The concept of the Creative Light coupled with the Divine Beauty has evolved in Rassouli since early childhood, and is present in his
paintings, relieves and sculptures, book illuminations and murals. He was raised in a
historical home decorated with murals and intricate floral designs. Inspired and
encouraged by his mystic uncle, Rassouli developed an early appreciation for painting and
mystical poetry, and spent endless hours taking lessons from classical and impressionist
artists, and studying mysticism. Soon he discovered new ways to transform his subconscious
images into forms that he could share with others.
Recognized as the Best Student Artist in Iran at 15, Rassouli
was awarded a government grant to study painting in Europe. He migrated to the United
States in 1963, where he studied painting and architecture at the University of New
Mexico, and was honored with the Leadership Award from the Institute of International
Education.
Although he began his professional career as an architect,
creating three-dimensional structures to satisfy his artistic drive, Rassouli's passion
for painting persevered. Through time, he has created hundreds of artworks that have
received global recognition for his unique Fusionart style.

Robert teaches a simple, powerful process encompassing what he calls Meta Self: becoming whole, being free. His teachings are empowered with his music, Meta Harmonics, vibrations that support healing and transformation. He also provides a subtle energy device, the Personal Ally, that neutralizes external influences that inhibit spiritual growth and health. Ron Castia: Ron, who appeared on Show #24 with Robert "Oughten" Gerard, is an accomplished singer/songwriter who brought his infectious brand of lively/loving music to the show. Ron, who appeared on Bridging Show # 207,
is an entrepreneur and a visionary dedicated to planetary transformation and service He has also created the Metatron Healing
Programs™ that use this Divine Light to dissolve the stubborn blocks to growth
and healing that reside in the subconscious and unconscious layers of human consciousness.
This technology is also delivered via the Internet to reside on one’s computer. From the time he was a small child, Ron
knew he had something important to do. During the early years of his business life, he
practiced traditional methods of doing business, along with some
small entrepreneurial ventures. At 39, he began a meditation practice that led him
from years of un-belief to experiencing GOD. The hazy awareness of a mission he was
destined to fulfill remained in the back of his mind, regardless of what he was doing. And
at age 59, his soul destiny began to be revealed as he was introduced to a technology
known as “Quantum Technology,” which transformed chaotic electro radiation
into coherent electromagnetic fields that are in harmony with the human body and all life. In August of 2005, after 12 years
of co-developing and marketing the Quantum Products™, Ron experienced a
breakthrough creating a computer-based technology that is a tool that brings a new
powerfully transformative Divine Light into our environment. A significant side benefit of
this new Divine Light is its transformation of the destructive man-made electro radiation
into coherent life-supporting fields that enhance the environment. Ron’s mission is
to spread this technology around the planet as soon as possible to assist with the
Global transformation that is now happening. Metatron Technology™, by merging
technology with consciousness, is the vehicle for this mission. Global Coherence, Inc.

Sapphron Obois: Sapphron, who appeared on Show # 88 with Stephen Lewis and Evan Slawson, is a naturally gifted musician, composer, and jazz performer whose self-titled debut CD has been universally proclaimed as an amazing breakthrough for her. In a recent article in the Los Angeles Times reviewing the "Playboy Jazz Festival", noted author, Dan Heckman, proclaimed: "The appearance of saxophonist Sapphron Obois was a bit more unexpected. Smooth jazz has generally played a prominent role in the festival's programming, but the little-known Obois--one of the rare female horn players in the contemporary field--was a real find. Playing with an unfamiliar rhythm section, she nonetheless came up with a bravura performance, bringing heat, drive and an edgy adventurousness to virtually everything she played." Sarah, who appeared on Show #55 with Ronna Herman, Show # 63 with Charlo Stuart Show #70 with Lama Ole Nydahl, and Show # 118 with Barbara Marx Hubbard, is an angelic transmitter, visionary, powerful healer, mystic poet, and teacher.

Shanti Shivani: Shanti, who appeared on Show # 78 with Mark Jones, Show # 80 with Heather Anne Harder and Annette Cantor and Show # 117 with Isaac George, is a master musician, Dhrupad singer, sound healer, performance artist, and teacher of Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound). She lived in India for 8 years studying Dhrupad vocal music with the greatest exponents of its style, the Dagar family, as well as practicing Tibetan Buddhism and Hatha Yoga. She has also studied with Western musicians and sound therapists and has been an established workshop leader in Europe and the United States since 1986. Shanti has been performing since 1989 and has recorded several CD's with Dhurpad and meditative, improvisational music. Sharon, who appeared on Show # 139, is a Life Choices counselor, teacher, Therapeutic Touch and Reiki healing practitioner who specializes in facilitating a deeper connection with your Spiritual Self and the world around you.

Sharon has lead workshops in Hawaii for the last 12 years and has assisted in the process of transformation for over 20 years. She is the author of an amazing new book, "Unfolding Journey", an overall guide to the spiritual path. Shasta: Shasta, who appeared on Show #58 with her partner, Jackson, is a singer/songwriter of uplifting and inspiring spirit who loves exploring the mediums of song, dance, and the word to express Divine Beauty and Joy in human form. Her aspiration is to fully embody and teach the Golden Universal Truths and the ways of Unconditional Love.
Shelley, who appeared on Show # 120 with Bernie Glassman and Show # 127 with Maureen Belle, was born in New York on May 8, 1948 to creative and loving parents who named her after the poet, Percy Bysch Shelley, and gave her a dog named Keats when she was five. It was at about that same age when Shelley decided that something a great deal larger than she could understand fully at the time, was driving her small human frame. After graduating college, with more questions than answers, Shelley traveled to India where she spent 8 years. From the moment she arrived in New Delhi, Shelley knew that her spirit had come home. She began to have experiences that vividly reminded her the reason for her existence, past, present and future, which culminated under a tree in Goa, India. Where like, Siddhartha, she too, received enlightenment. Returning to the United States and to Santa Barbara, California, she joined forces with Allan in 1998 and began dedicating herself to helping him further develop Bridging Heaven & Earth as a vehicle for expansion and awareness--through the education of the Oneness of all life. Shelley is the Operating Director of The Bridging Heaven & Earth Foundation; a nonprofit, 501(C)3, educational organization. The goal of the Foundation is to support and expand the production and distribution of the Bridging Heaven & Earth television show and in addition, to establish The Bridging Heaven & Earth Communication and Retreat Center Sheoli, founder and facilitator of "Awakening in Paradise Retreats", who appeared on Show # 87, offers transformational adventures designed to provide participants with opportunities to lay the groundwork to expand to their fullest potential. In the wonderland that is Hawaii, retreat guests investigate what no longer serves them, such as old belief systems and behaviors, admit what the limitations are, and shift them into healthy, more beneficial systems. To assist in this process, Sheoli also takes her guests on daily swims in a protected marine sanctuary where dolphins, turtles, and an array of beautiful aquatic life live. In addition to swimming with dolphins, participants learn how to communicate telepathically, be a part of ceremonies at Hawaiian sacred sanctuaries and uplifting programs designed to strengthen their connection to their creative spirit and higher self. Shya, who appeared on Show # 107 with his wife, Ariel, and Kate Bennett, is an internationally acclaimed seminar leader and consultant who has been offering courses and executive coaching since 1984. Shya has pioneered a revolutionary new technology, Instantaneous Transformationâ, which has helped thousands of individuals and companies to dramatically increase productivity, effectiveness, and job satisfaction. What makes his approach unique is that it is not problem/solution oriented. Shya has found that the simple recognition of unexamined behavior patterns or beliefs is enough to facilitate resolution without having to "work on" them as problems. He is masterful at identifying and communicating the dynamics he observes happening with individuals and organizations that unknowingly undermine effectiveness and productivity. Shya has discovered that the slightest shift in one’s reality can produce a quantum shift in the ability to optimize time and successfully manage projects to completion. Shya discussed his new book about this process, "Working On Yourself Doesn’t Work". Shyam, who appeared on Show # 85 as a member of the musical group, Mantram, is a gifted baritone singer. He has performed extensively around the world and has recorded on two albums with Alice Coltrane. For
Stu, who appeared on Bridging Show # 196 and is the author of Truth Shock, this is
a compression of 92 years into a few paragraphs. “I
can only be objective, in contrast to the more personal subjective side, which is at the
back of the book. There are several phases, which are lifetimes in themselves:”
Stu has a B.A. and M.A., from UCLA, plus college teaching credentials. He also attended ten years of trade school and college extension courses covering the gamut from computerology to electronics, astronomy, and management. He spent ten years in "Show Biz" including two years' association with Robert Cohen of Columbia Pictures. He is a former member of SFWA, WGAW, and is formerly National Executive VP of Science-Fantasy Writers of America (Ray Bradbury, President). He has published over 3 million words, plus half a dozen pocketbooks, as well some screen and TV credits. As of 2006, the complete anthology of all of his fictional writings including those under the pseudonym of John Bloodstone, have become available at: www.ReneBooks.com In International Management, he specialized in systems analysis, multi-country system installation, large-scale procurement and inventory control management (operations exceeding $100 million annual volume). He is multi-lingual, speaking Spanish and German as well as English. Stu has lived abroad for many years and traveled for Litton data Systems to NATO bases in Europe as Principal Engineering Writer and proposal survey rep. Stu has been into Esoterica for over 30 years, starting with membership in the AFA. His research and participation in and with assorted esoteric groups and arcane schools, resulted in a 3-volume world concordance of all major metaphysical schools and systems, which further resulted in a mail-order lesson series called A.N.S.W.E.R. - Alliance of New Seekers of Wisdom, Ethics and Reason. What kept him from "ivory tower" isolationism was his 18 years as Engineering Writer for Litton Data Systems, writing all those maintenance and operation manuals on advanced weapons systems for the Marines, Army, Navy, and Air Force. With his feet firmly on the ground, Stu always sought to maintain a clear view of the "Mountain." Please view Stu's personal site at: http://haldolen.com/sjb.html Sonia, who appeared on Bridging Show # 195, is a world-renowned revolutionary
psychic, alchemist, healer, and spirited teacher. She specializes in instantly
transforming people’s vibration from a five-sensory paradigm of limitation and fear
to a six sensory paradigm of creative possibility and personal power, leading others out
of the dark ages and into the 21st Century. A masterful visionary and mystic committed to activating the highest vibrational and intuitive potential in all, she is the best-selling author of eight books published in seventeen countries: The Psychic Pathway (Three Rivers Press), Your Heart's Desire (Three Rivers Press), The Wise Child (Three Rivers Press), True Balance (Three Rivers Press), Your Psychic Pathway to New Beginnings (Clarkson Potter/ Publishers, July 2002), Your Psychic Pathway to Joy (Clarkson Potter Publishers, July 2002), The Diary of a Psychic (Hay House/Publishers July 2003), Trust Your Vibes (Hay House 2004) and numerous audio editions. Highly trained and apprenticed in both the Psychic Arts and Metaphysical Law, with extensive background in the mysticism of East and West, Sonia was educated at the University of Denver and the Sorbonne in Paris. She then pursued a spiritual education at the American Institute of Holistic Theology www.aiht.edu resulting in a BA, MS and Ph. D. in Metaphysics , to better advance and reflect her life's work as a psychic and six sensory vibrational teacher. Several of her books are currently being used in the AIHT curriculum. Her best education, however, she insists is her over thirty five years of working “in the trenches” consulting directly with people, and reading for them one-on-one, all over the world. Passionate in the history, art and mastery of Tarot, esoteric astrology, card divination and Western Kabalah, and vibrational healing, Sonia has also been a member and active student of the Builders of the Adytum Mystery School since 1975. Based on her extensive background and understanding of Oracle divination she recently released her first personally designed Trust Your Vibes Oracle Deck (Hay House 2004) and will soon release her first Ask Your Guides Oracle Deck (Hay House 2005). Each offers immediate access to the sixth sense and higher spirited direction. She continues her devotion to the study of Mysticism and the Psychic arts and maintains an ongoing commitment to legitimize, protect and mainstream the acceptance of psychic ability and six sensory living as a natural, necessary and essential expression of our higher self and the most direct tool for creative manifestation. Her book Your Heart's Desire is currently required reading at the University of Santa Monica Creative Arts Department and her book The Wise Child was a featured topic at the first International Conference on Children's Spirituality in Atlanta, sponsored by the University of Atlanta , where she spoke. Sonia says, "I am psychically and creatively empowered because I was encouraged at all times to be awake, aware and guided by my highest potential, my sixth sense, the most direct link to the Divine. I grew up in an environment that recognized psychic awareness not only as natural but essential to successful navigation and creation in life. In our home the sixth sense was considered the first. It is a gift of higher awareness that we all have, that we can all experience, that we can all trust and that we all need!" Unfortunately most people dismiss or ignore the sixth sense and sadly miss the benefits. With the destruction and disillusion of the changing world we now live in, Sonia emphasizes that using our intuition is "no longer optional. Working with and honoring our sixth sense and listening to its guidance is becoming more and more fundamental to our ability to live harmoniously with ourselves and others in the new world order." Sonia's mission is to awaken the spirit within and evolve people into strong fully empowered six sensory beings with no apologies. Staying away from theory and focusing only on the practical, she successfully guides them in building a solid psychic scaffolding to support their greatest most direct connection with God. She believes that our psychic sense's primary function is to direct our soul's growth and keep us faithful and authentically connected to our path and purpose. Without its direction we fail to succeed. Sonia has been a guest on ABC, NBC, CNN, The Wisdom Channel, and WGN as well as featured in New Woman Magazine (where they rated Your Heart's Desire as one of the 10 best courses to change your life), New Age Magazine, USA Today, Body, Mind and Soul, Chicago Tribune, and Crain's Chicago Business Journal. She has also been a personal psychic advisor to such New Age Leaders as Louise Hay, Julia Cameron, Caroline Myss, Dr. Wayne Dyer, pop icon Billy Corgan of the former Smashing Pumpkins rock band, and psychic consultant to international business leaders such as Charlotte Beers, Advertising CEO and former head of the Campaign for America, appointed by President Bush.

Stephanie, who appeared on "Bridging" Shows # 40 and # 76 with Mary Barton (# 76 also included Louix Dor Dempriey), is a wonderful inspirational harpist and composer. In their performances, both together and alone, they made delightful and uplifting music. They played pieces from Stephanie’s albums, "Imaginocean" and "Stories Seldom Told" and Mary’s album, "Folk Favorites." Stephen is a Senior Disciple of GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui, world's
foremost authority and founder of Pranic Healing®. He is an internationally renowned
lecturer, trainer and practitioner of Pranic Healing® and human energy studies. Over the
last ten years, Stephen has given presentations to over 5,000 people in the U.S., Mexico
and the Philippines. He has shared Pranic Healing® at numerous hospitals in North
America, including Kaiser Permanente, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Beverly Hills, CA and
Barnes Jewish Hospital in Saint Louis, MO. His students learn to help their patients while
keeping themselves healthy. His prowess as a healer and teacher has garnered him
appearances on "Hard Copy," Los Angeles television stations NBC-4, KABC-7,
KTLA-5 and KTTV-9, as well as the popular "Mark and Brian Show" on Los Angeles
morning radio station KLOS. Stephen, co-author of the magnificent new novel, "Sanctuary--The Path to Consciousness" and a powerful healer (who appeared on Show # 88 with Evan Slawson and Sapphron Obois), has been interested in energetics for many years. He became aware of the energetic testing work being done in Germany and subsequent investigations convinced him that the work contained, "the gem of genius," but failed to fulfill its true potential. He wrestled with his own approaches to energetic testing for several years, trying to expand the possibilities of this work. Then, while spending a weekend camping in the high desert, he had a vision or revelation. He returned to "civilization," with the understanding that technology and consciousness were inextricably bound. Advances in technology alone were useless unless they are accompanied by advances in the consciousness of the tester or administrator of that technology. Thus was born his revolutionary work in Quantum Consciousness, the measurement of "units of consciousness." Both his work and his writing describe the application of this concept of all of life. Stephen Royal Jackson: Stephen, who appeared on Show #96, is the author of a wonderful new book, "Eight Steps to Love--A Practical Guide to Transform Stress and Conflict into the Peaceful Power of Love" and has been a longstanding transformative healer and stress specialist. He specializes in helping people of all ages transform the constricted energy of anxiety, anger, and depression into the expansive energy and peaceful power of Love. Since a spiritually awakening experience in 1995, Stephen has been endowed with the ability to transmit a healing energy--which led him to study ancient and modern energy healing modalities. His work in the field of stress transformation was also influenced by his struggles as a child to overcome the effects of polio. He went on to become an All-American basketball player with a brief stint as a professional. Steven, who appeared on Bridging Show #
235, has an interesting and fascinating background. Having been raised in a very normal
environment, he decided to serve his country in the military, during a rather troubled
era. His duties and expertise led him to Vietnam. Anyone who was there can tell you that
it was not a pleasant experience. His search for peaceful answers and higher understanding
guided his steps inside the walls of a Zen Buddhist monastery in Quang Ngai, South
Vietnam, where he would take refuge and study whenever he could. His natural curiosity
blended with a very acute intuitive sense led him to deeper questions of life and the
purpose of self. The monks began to insist that he should learn of Issa, whom he learned
was in fact Jesus. He later learned that Issa, Jesus, had spent much time in what is known
today as India, Pakistan, Ladak, Nepal, and Tibet before returning to the Middle East to
carry out His mission. This truly inspired Steven’s personal search for knowledge and
a passion to somehow recreate the Master’s 18 years not mentioned in the Bible. This
goal would intrigue and shock him later, but first, Steven had to understand what made the
human mind work the way it does. Upon his return to the United States he received a B.A.
in Psychology. Then, pushed by his dream for Universal Truth, he traveled to India
following an inner urge, which led him to his greatest teachers and lessons, Tibetan
Masters. They guided him through India, Nepal, and twice into Tibet. The Masters had to
smuggle him into Tibet, as it was Red Chinese with closed borders at the time. While in
this part of the world he adapted to the life of a monk, and continued his research for
many years about the path of Jesus while proving to himself that, indeed, Jesus had been
there studying. While there Steven honed the talents Spirit had given him, learning many
healing techniques. He became a Reiki Master and learned the techniques of focusing energy
for higher purpose. He now teaches these techniques to his students and audiences
throughout the world. When he returned home after working with
his Eastern teachers he wanted to understand the greatest belief system of all, and
received an M.A. in Religion and Theology, becoming fascinated by the field of Metaphysics
in the process. He knew by what he had already learned that there was another message
contained in the idea of religion and the Bible. Thus, some years later, he went back to
the books and received his Doctorate in Metaphysics. Through his years of studies with Zen
and Tibetan Monks, Ishaya Monks, as well as the Cree and Blackfoot Native Traditions, this
true American Monk offers an unparalleled approach to understanding how we influence our
own paths in life and why we experience what we do. In his lectures, workshops, television
and radio appearances, he enjoys sharing his unique blend of philosophies to assist others
in the attainment of their spiritual goals. His only desire is that all people find
consciousness. In 2000 he was inspired to communicate his accumulated knowledge and
experience to the world through a book now in its second printing titled Once Upon a Parable – A Journey into Life.
Steven has poured his love for humankind into this explicit work. His second book is Return to Innocence – Messages from the Ancients,
a spiritual guide to a better way of life and how the messages were shifted from their
original spiritual intention to an external physical reality. There are two books written
about him entitled Interview with an American Monk
I & II. He has recently released his best work of all, A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible. This
book answers the mysteries of the Bible and the Master Himself. It is based on 37 years of
thorough research that led him all over the world. A
Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible is based on historical and metaphysical fact,
which includes the missing books that were not originally included in the Bible. It is a
journey of Mastership and Empowerment while achieving an inner Divine nature. He has also
recently been selected by the Edgar Cayce Foundation through the Association of Research
and Enlightenment as one of their few intuitives, the most tested intuitives in the world,
and he feels it is an honor to serve using this field to change people’s lives. Steven continues his writing, counseling,
lecture and workshop tours, and has released two CDs, the Seven Essene Mirrors of Relationship and The Power of Thought. He resides in Reno, Nevada in the High Sierra
Mountains.

first wondering if the conversations might be coming from her mind alone, the increasingly
astounding information she recorded daily at the computer soon convinced her that she
wasn't imagining Matthew's end of their dialog. She knew this for certain when he
started urging her, "Start the book." He told her that their conversations
were intended for a higher purpose than daily chatting: The information she was receiving
from him and numerous other souls was meant to be published. Their unusual
