President of The Monroe Institute - In the midst of the Cold War both the Soviets and the Americans employed psychics to spy on each other's activities. These were the so-called remote viewers. Both the CIA and the US Army conducted remote viewing intelligence programs. The US Army's program, known by the code name Star Gate, was initiated in the late 1970's by the gifted natural psychic, Skip Atwater. For ten years Skip was the Operations and Training Officer during which time he recruited and trained an elite group of professional remote viewers, through whom he conducted thousands of intelligence-collection missions. Skip inevitably came into contact with Robert Monroe, the founder of The Monroe Institute. The Monroe Institute dedicates itself to the transformation of human consciousness. A major constituent of this transformation process is in part accomplished through the application of Hemi-Sync technology. The Hemi-Sync is perhaps best known for its capacity to induce an OOBE (Out Of Body Experience), otherwise known as astral projection. More information on the Monroe Institute can be found at http://www.monroeinstitute.org/

The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology - includes information, interviews, and stories about forty different cryptids seen in various places all over the world by credible eyewitnesses like policemen, rangers, and doctors. Readers will learn where and how to find flying humanoids, hairy humanoids, giants of all kinds including rabbits, bats and spiders, goblins, vampires, werewolves, demons, aliens and ghosts. In the third book of our Weiser Field Guides, BellaOnline paranormal editor, Deena West Budd, surveys the still-emerging field of cryptozoology--a term coined in the 1950s by a French zoologist named Bernard Heuvelmans--the study of "hidden" or "unknown" animals not recognized in standard zoology. From traditional cryptids like Big Foot, the Abominable Snowman and Nessie, to mythical cryptids like unicorns, vampires, dragons, and werewolves, to lesser-known cryptids like bunyips (waterhorses), Encantado (Dolphin Men of Brazil), thunderbirds, mothmen, and chupacabra, these creatures are very much alive, says Budd, even if beyond the realm of normal perception. - http://redwheelweiser.com

The Extraterrestrial Answer Book : UFO's, Alien Abductions, and the Coming ET Presence - From the Roswell UFO incident to astronaut sightings and claims of abductions, reports of extraterrestrial contact have increased dramatically in recent decades. Also on the rise is interest in all things extraterrestrial as evidenced by everything from ABC's new V to discussions at the highest level of the world's governments, not to mention the UN, acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrials. In 1987 Jim Moroney had an extraterrestrial encounter at a small truck stop just outside Manitoba, Canada that changed his life forever. He spent the next twenty years studying the phenomenon of extraterrestrials. - www.aufosg.com

Meri was President of Northern Virginia Family Services Early Head Start/ Head Start and found it very easy to speak for the babies who could not yet speak for themselves. This brought her to penning the book, 'Babies' Guide to Parents (and other important people). Meri wrote every chapter first, then did the research. The only part she had to add-in, was a 'distraction method', such as jingling a set of keys. On the other side of all of this, Meri had been increasing my natural abilities to see past, future and present. She has been able to 'bend the lines' of what most psychics (or similar) are not supposed to be able to do. Meri also found out that people come to her when they are getting ready to pass, to deliver messages to loved ones, that they themselves cannot say, for whatever reason. If there is 'energy' in a person's request, the information comes with it. Meri have has with many people, spiritually, even while they are under sedation, to receive their messages. A angry dog, who was no here to be found, barked and growled at her (and best friend), when she had mention to his owner (who was also not present) to find the good in life. Meri has seen angels twice, it is not something that you ever forget or THE POWER IN THEIR WORK! It is more amazing than words can simply describe, like she says, she saw them save my sister's life 5 days before she was supposed to die. - www.babiesguide.net

Walking Across America For Special Kids - Dutch is planning to walk across America for the benefit of special kids. Last October for no apparent reason Dutch felt compelled to immediately call someone Dutch knew but had never met. It had been 9 years since their last conversation. The friend is a very influential Utahan involved in organ donor registration. Nine (9) is the number of lives each healthy human being can save by donating their organs. He had Dutch on a plane 2 days later to Salt Lake City to help and to combine their efforts to help the children. If that is not the Hand of God intervening on behalf of the kids Dutch doesn't know what is. Dutch has felt a tremendous sense of relief since that moment. Even Dutch's dreams have turned positive!

Awakening the Spirit: The Open Wide Like a Floozy Chronicles - On July 31, 1966 at the tender age of nine, while throwing papers for a local newspaper, a stranger raped Cindy L. Herb. Because of that trauma, and the reactions of shame and guilt by others, Cindy L. Herb felt isolated and alone. In 2007, the author was so depressed that she was seriously considering ending her life. However, fate intervened when an actual angel guided Cindy to seek out a shaman at a local psychic fair. Working with a shaman completely altered Cindy's life, dramatically changing it for the better. Before meeting him, she would have never dreamed of writing a book. However, Cindy began journaling her painful childhood experiences soon after working with that shaman. When she realized that others might benefit from her story of suffering and healing, she decided to publish a book and was thrilled when the first publisher she approached decided to publish her book. She is confident that none of this would have been possible had she not encountered an angel, who pointed her to a more beneficial path. Cindy L. Herb is the author of the recently published book, 'Awakening the Spirit: The Open Wide Like a Floozy Chronicles,' an autobiographical account of how she turned unbearable tragedy, beginning with that rape, into joy. She now specializes in Mind Body Spirit healing, helping others find greater happiness despite any adversity. - www.cherbchronicles.com
