Words from Bryan:

In a recent email I shared with Andrew:

Regarding your book's content/objective, Andrew, and your intense study, I look forward to including your interview with an anthology of others discussing Christ Consciousness, Quickenings, Epiphanies, and Miracles as experiences classic to discovery of the true self from many perspectives, while appreciating the layers of belief systems held by earth reality, which separate aspects of the whole self in the many roles we play -- the roles we play to get along in life acting responsibly while on this planet, where the human condition does not antagonize self-discovery of the inner divine, but is the condition leading to complete unfoldment....   Is what I am aiming to learn from you.

Until then, stay tuned!

Richard Moss is internationally respected as a visionary thinker, teacher and author of six books on transformation, self-healing, and the art of conscious living. More than 30 years ago, he left the practice of medicine after a life-changing realization to dedicate his life to help others realize their multidimensional nature and achieve self-mastery. His teaching bridges science, psychology, energy medicine, and spiritual/awareness practices. He is most well known for the deep experiential nature of his work where people learn holistically with their mind, body, and feelings.

His philosophy is entirely pragmatic: work on consciousness must alleviate human suffering and address the root causes of why and how we create so much conflict in ourselves and our world.

His books include: The I That is We (1981), How Shall I Live (1985), The Black Butterfly (1986), The Second Miracle (1995), all published by Celestial Arts, Words That Shine Both Ways (self-published in 1997). His newest book is The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness, published by New World Library, 2007. His works have been translated into Spanish, French, German, and Danish and have sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide.

For over thirty years Dr. Moss has taught in North America, South America, Europe and Australia. He has been interviewed in magazines and newspapers worldwide, and has presented at numerous conferences and at such institutions as Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Chicago Medical School, U.C.L.A., U.C. Berkeley, American University, Washington DC, Georgetown University, and John F. Kennedy University.

Words from Bryan:
In a recent email I shared with Richard:

Richard, I like the idea that life is one continuous experience, and that we invariably disrupt the learning-integration process when trying to separate and distinguish whole experiences into episodes to qualify or quantify something or to identify with our feelings, instead of oneness.  

I am not sure why, but point of reference seems to be really important, because most humans want to feel in control over that which is actually co-created by many or co-created through many perspectives in the holographic sense.  

I look forward to exploring with you how we go with the flow of the collective experience and how we loose the need to control and loose the fear of separation in what we create -- to feel comfortable, even with what feels unfamiliar in any given moment.  

We'd all be healthier if we view life as one continuous experience, I believe, and we will be highly evolved, when we consider death-transitioning in the same light.

Stay tuned, All!

A word from Bryan:
Sometimes we only give ourselves one, two, or three strikes before we accept that dreams won't come true. Dorothea will share with us through this upcoming interview, about promises and that we should keep them, as a promise is a commitment one makes with the self not to another, and that life offers infinite opportunities to fulfill them so that they come true!

Stay tuned!

Robin's CV

Praise Worthy Robin Kelly - Doctor, Author, Speaker, Musician.

"On a quest to be a better healer, physician Robin Kelly embarked upon an epic journey that transformed his patients' lives, his own life, and one that can possibly transform your life as well. Expertly weaving together traditional Western medical science, Eastern medicine's energy philosophy and a dash of quantum physics, Dr. Robin Kelly concocts a powerful and wise prescription for self-healing and self-empowerment. Filled with astounding scientific insights, wit, wisdom and heart, The Human Antenna is a delight to read."

Bruce H. Lipton, PhD
Cell biologist and best selling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles

"A very complex and detailed educational experience. With so much to digest, the author was quite thorough in his attempt to educate the novice. His excellent references and well-documented bibliography enhanced the reader's adventure.... The presentation, the quality of the book and the excellent writing make it worth the money."

Reader Views. January 2008.

"The Human Antenna covers many areas....including spontaneity, creativity, the chakras and how it all relates to energy. In order to fully comprehend the author's message concerning these fascinating subjects, one really needs to read the book."

BookPleasures.com. December 2007.

"Rather than decrying the usefulness of the tried and true, he believes that adding to the mix by using centuries-old methods, such as acupuncture, creates a wholeness and completeness that cannot be achieved any other way. Throughout the book, the science and philosophies are beautifully balanced with personal anecdotes, case histories and easy to digest references. Yes, there is science in the book, complete with diagrams and explanatory sketches. The author covers such great concepts as Fibonacci's Rabbits, The Golden Ratio, and the meaning of the Caduceus. Reading this book is like getting an education in fresh ideas without having to sit in a classroom with 400 other clueless students!........A great book for those who have already begun their search for new ideas and knowledge, as well as those new to the concepts that Dr. Robin Kelly presents in this highly readable and enjoyable book."

Click on the link up top to learn more about Robin. Until later, stay tuned for a great talk on understanding DNA's full anatomic, molecular, vibrational, and functional nature, our wireless link to who we really are!

Here are words from Bryan to Robin in a recent email:

Robin, as an aside, I always thought or heard somewhere that DNA is tightly coiled in a globular tertiary/quartenary structure to protect its highly reactive functional groups from random biochemical activity occuring in the nucleus, when there is one, or the cytoplasmic reactions, when no nucleus exists (pro/eukaryotes)

Perhaps this tertiary twisting or the presence of a nucleus is some kind of fear in the form of molecular contraction and biochemical isolation based on some belief that things go toward disorder, as if chaos is the enemy, when ironically random shuffling originates our next quantum leap if we let this be.

I look forward to starting our conversation by asking some fundamental questions about the physical, chemical, and biochemical properties of DNA as traditional science views it, and then to zoom ahead into vibration, appreciating the entire surface area of the molecule including the spaces in between and the epigenetic magic that happens when nature and genotypes conspire to express something unexpected, beyond traditional cause and effect....
