Approaching Chaos - Could an Ancient Archetype save 21st Century Civilization : Could an Ancient Archetype save 21st Century Civilization? - There can be little doubt that our twenty-first century civilization is facing economic, ecological and spiritual meltdown. In this intriguing new book, Lucy Wyatt takes a highly original and relevant look at just what we can do to reverse this very real and potentially disastrous situation. The product of some ten years of comprehensive and passionate research, Approaching Chaos urges us to take a good look way back beyond those societies always admired as the first civilized examples, to re-think accepted accounts and concepts of history and go back over 5,000 years to focus on the Bronze Age civilizations. Nearly always considered to be both primitive and pagan, Lucy Wyatt reveals them to be in many ways extraordinarily sophisticated, well-rounded and highly successful infrastructures that combine the spiritual and the practical. She ardently believes that from them the ancient Greeks and Romans actually learnt and, even more pertinently, we can learn a tremendous amount that has been disregarded for far too long. In taking a fresh look at, amongst other things, the origins of farming and urbanisation, the extraordinary way that the Egyptians used metaphysics, ultrasound and alchemy, the rise of Monotheistic religion and Christianity, Lucy Wyatt presents a brave and compelling over-view of ancient history. Approaching Chaos challenges long accepted thinking on the origins of civilization and uncovers many illuminating insights into how we could help ourselves today. - http://www.approachingchaos.co.uk/

Marian Apparitions Are Real - A Marian apparition is an event in which the Blessed Virgin Mary is believed to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition. They have been interpreted in religious terms as theophanies. Marian apparitions sometimes are reported to recur at the same site over an extended period of time. In the majority of Marian apparitions only a few people report having witnessed the apparition. Exception to this include Zeitoun, and Assiut where thousands claimed to have seen her over a period of time. Author Kevin Cook has a B.A. from Upper Iowa University, and a masters in theology from a Protestant seminary. He is a graduate student at the Franciscan University, Steubenville, Ohio. - www.marianapparitionsarereal.com

The UFO Guy - Bill Knell grew up on Long Island in the 1960s, just outside of the New York City Metropolitan Area. While hanging around the local Firehouse, he heard Volunteer Firemen, Nassau County Police and EMTs talk about seeing unidentified objects in the sky and experiencing other strange phenomenon. As the son of an Air Force Officer, Bill was fascinated to hear his father talk about the Foo Fighters (unexplained objects seen by Allied Pilots during WWII) and how General Macarthur ordered of a study of them. That study became a 10,000 word report that still remains classified to this day. His father's friends often told stories of encounters with UFOs whenever they discussed that report or the Foo Fighters. Many were experienced military and commercial pilots. While most UFO Witnesses are untrained observers misreporting ordinary objects in the sky, the people that Bill heard talk about encounters with UFOs were not. That left a big impression on him.

FRANK OGDEN - DR.TOMORROW - Futurist - Alvin Toffler coined the phrase "electronic cottage" in the 80's. Futurist Frank Ogden carried the concept further. From his high-tech houseboat in Vancouver harbour, he is wired to the world by computer, phone, cable and phone modems, satellite, infra-red transmissions and CD-ROMs. The Financial Post describes Frank as a "20th Century visionary" and calls his ideas "outrageous", an ideal combination of qualities for a life of profitable nonconformity. From Papua New Guinea to the high-tech jungles of silicon, satellites and photons, Frank has a reputation for innovation and originality. In 1979, he began monitoring 200 satellites and 2,000 data banks, to provide a video clipping service for forward thinkers wanting information on new and relevant business developments. Now Ogden circles the globe as consultant to companies and countries, preparing people to trek along the fast track. "A bulldozer of change is charging over the planet," he says. "And if you're not part of the bulldozer, you'll become part of the road." Born in 1920, Ogden was educated in Canada and the United States and served as a flight engineer during World War II. Unflaggingly energetic and curious, he graduated to a dizzying array of jobs flying airplanes and helicopters and selling aircraft (He is currently checked out as Pilot-In-Command in 55 different flying machines), real estate and housewares. During the 1960s, he joined a medical team researching LSD at Hollywood Hospital, and he crossed Canada by helicopter to celebrate the country's centennial. He also helped found Canada's first think-tank, taught at the Ontario College of Art and the New England School of Art in Boston, and managed a Montreal radio station, leading it boldly into progressive rock. He was also a founding member of the World Future Society in Canada.While studying voodoo in Haiti and establishing a think-tank for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Ogden recognized the link that exists between primitive thinking and high tech. "Everything in life is information. So-called primitive cultures have known this for thousands of years," he explains. "Voodoo priests get their information through a hierarchy of gods; we get ours through a hierarchy of technology." Such concepts as these have made Frank a celebrity speaker on the conference circuit, where he outlines the electronic and information revolutions of the current and coming decades. Frank suggests a future of teleports, limited labour unions, as more people become self-employed, and body implants to make cyborgs of us all. Audiences praise him because "he shakes people up and gets us thinking about the future!" In 1989, Frank was elected a Fellow of the Explorers Club; an elite group of adventurers including mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary and astronaut John Glenn. Frank travels continuously -- to present seminars and to research the latest in technological, educational, business, communications, political, social and environmental developments. He is at home on the untamed equatorial plains of East Africa and in the high-tech toy stores of Tokyo. From his Vancouver houseboat, Frank conducted the first two international seminars via satellite and fibre-optic technology, for Australia's Telstra Communications Network in Sydney and Melbourne. His recent CD-ROM, Dr. Tomorrow's Cyberspace University, has received top ratings in the United States. Long before the World Wide Web became popular, Ogden opened a "page" there for global access. His cyberspace address is: www.drtomorrow.com. Frank has been profiled on numerous television and radio stations and in newspapers and magazines around the globe, including, CNN's Futurewatch; PBS Television's New Tech Times in the U.S.A.; CBC's National TV show Profiles, with host Peter Gzowski; the Christian Science Monitor TV show World Monitor; Australia's TV 7 show Eleven AM; and CTV's Canada AM. As well, interview articles have appeared in Forbes ASAP, L

Raelian Movement - Rael, founder and leader of the Raelian Movement (www.rael.org), today issued a statement in response to Stephen Hawking's speculations about hostile extraterrestrials. Widely previewed in the popular media, Hawking's pessimistic ruminations are part of an upcoming Discovery Channel television series. "With these views, Hawking demonstrates that he's not only physically handicapped but mentally handicapped by the degenerative disease of 'evolutionism' or 'Darwinism,' " Rael said. "His fears about murderous, invading aliens are based on the theory of evolution - the myth of evolution, to be more precise. He's afraid humans are inferior to aliens who might invade. That's logical, but only if you accept the myth of evolution." Rael called evolution "a magical, irrational concept" that does great harm. "Hitler's views about superior Aryans; slavery and apartheid; and Hawking's delirium of aliens wiping out humanity all fit perfectly with the evolution myth," he said, adding that he admires the stance taken by Swedish scientist Soren Lovtrup. "Lovtrup said Darwinian evolution will one day be considered the greatest deceit in the history of science and that it's anti-science and false," he said. "I agree." And the truth about the origin of life on Earth? "It's the result of intelligent design, not by just one so-called godly designer but by extraterrestrial designers, plural, called the Elohim," Rael said. "With intelligent design, you automatically have intelligent organization of the universe as well, organization based on peace and love, not on monsters ready to invade and destroy humanity." Why? "Intelligent designers wouldn't allow anyone to destroy their creation," Rael said. "What's more, with cosmic laws based on intelligent design, violent species wind up self-destructing before they can spread their violence to other planets." Is this a lesson for humanity? "We can use weapons of mass destruction to eliminate ourselves," Rael explained. "We don't need alien invasions for that; we're powerful enough and stupid enough to do it ourselves unless peace and love prevail. Stephen Hawking is doing a terrible thing by instilling fear. Fear leads to poor health, bad behaviors and the militaristic policy of weapons accumulation that can lead to humanity's self-destruction. The world needs peace, love and global disarmament, not fear. And we must eliminate the myth of God and the myth of evolution, since both of these myths perpetuate fear and violence." - www.rael.org

9/11 To Global Jihad - America has long celebrated its tradition of religious tolerance, but it's time to stop congratulating ourselves and start preparing for the 21st century. Author Don Gould, host of Internet Talk Radio's Wake Up America: Get Real!, has been watching developments in the U.S. over the past five decades, and he wonders how we ever got so far away from our Constitution. He says if we don't bring God back into our country, religious extremists will make it impossible for us to live according to OUR values. Gould has spent years working in countries with large Muslim populations, and he's seen religious fanaticism up close and personal. What he discovered provides plenty offood for thought. In his thriller 9/11 TO GLOBAL JIHAD, Gould lays out a chilling scenario of unchecked Muslim influence in the U.S. and its devastating consequences. - www.dongould.us
