After surviving emergency brain surgery in 2004, E. Haase created several multi-media works for one purpose: to communicate his vision concerning humanity's role in earth's environmental future. He received this information in a near death experience which occurred during a six-hour craniotomy to suture a burst aneurysm. His latest work stemming from this experience is the interactive book "Apocalypse Near". The book is being released in several editions including e-books, audio books and traditional bound books containing links to supplementary media on the author's websites. The book is a novelization of his screenplay of the same title. Haase's first effort to communicate how humankind may achieve a symbiotic relationship with the environment was www.consciousconsumers.net. Haase feels much of this site was uploaded to his consciousness during an out of body experience while in surgery. Following a year of constant work on consciousconsumers.net Haase became despondent because he felt he wouldn't reach enough people in time to avoid the horrible part of his vision of earth's future. Haase asserts that during his near death experience he saw earth as if he was looking at it from space and watched it change into a dead, moon-like apparition. Haase said, "It happened in an instant; I saw the planet die of Consumption. Then it was like I was turned around to see a biologically healthy earth. The message I felt being communicated was that one of these circumstances would soon occur and which would happen was a choice being made by humankind." More concerning this experience is fused with the fictional drama of "Apocalypse Near". Haase's intends to use drama in the tradition of early Greek & Roman dramas which he opines were more about inspiring the behavior of populations than entertainment. Apocalypse Near" fuses several electronic mediums, performance art and environmental activism into what Haase calls "REFORMance art". The story begins beneath a highway overpass where a young man lays sleeping. His well-heeled appearance indicates he's no average drifter. The man appears to be dreaming. We enter his supernatural communication with what looks like a supernova as it foretells a mission concerning the collapse of earth's operating system. A passerby observes him have a seizure and calls an ambulance. In hospital he's found to be suffering a brain hemorrhage. Surgery saves him but lack of identification and physiological anomalies beget a mystery. Upon waking the man claims no memory of himself. His only memories concern his mission to stop earth's environment from crashing. When asked his name he claims to only remember the sound "E" so hospital staff call him "E". He demands a laptop and Internet connection to upload his "Viridian REVELution" campaign to save earth. This begets an adventure, which will determine the survival of earth's biosphere and be the opening battle in his declared "war on war". A love triangle between "E", the nurse who found him and an elusive muse communicating with him in dreams develops as he begins his quest. "E" discovers he must defeat an invisible enemy invading earth from another dimension. This enemy is composed of dark matter, powered by dark energy and running a superior operating system. Their job is to delete the inferior human product line before humans destroy earth's "bio-drive". In the end "E" finds his identity may give him the ability to rescue earth and undertake what will become his future mission in the war in heaven. The next two books of the trilogy cover this inter-dimensional conflict and the outcome of the protagonist's "War on war". The parallel between Haase's real life and the book's fiction is why Haase subtitled it "a metaphysical autobiography". Haase said "I didn't intend to write this book. It was a case of automatic writing. The book would not exist apart from my N.D.E. and fight to get my life back. It's a metaphysical manifestation in the true sense of the word." Ha

Initially a revival of NBC's Dimension X (1956-13), X Minus One is widely considered among the finest science fiction dramas ever produced for radio. The first 15 episodes were new versions of Dimension X episodes, but the remainder were adaptations of newly published science fiction stories by leading writers in the field, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Frederik Pohl and Theodore Sturgeon, along with a few original scripts. Episodes of the show include adaptations of Robert Sheckley's "Skulking Permit," Bradbury's "Mars Is Heaven," Heinlein's "Universe" and "The Green Hills of Earth", " Pohl's "The Tunnel under the World," J. T. McIntosh's "Hallucination Orbit," Fritz Leiber's "A Pail of Air" and George Lefferts' "The Parade." The program opened with announcer Fred Collins delivering the countdown, leading into this introduction (although later shows were partnered with Galaxy Science Fiction rather than Astounding Science Fiction): Countdown for blastoff... X minus five, four, three, two, X minus one... Fire! [Rocket launch SFX] From the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future; adventures in which you'll live in a million could-be years on a thousand may-be worlds. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Street and Smith, publishers of Astounding Science Fiction presents... X Minus One.. The series was cancelled after the 126th broadcast on January 9, 1958. However, the early 1970s brought a wave of nostalgia for old-time radio; a new experimental episode, "The Iron Chancellor" by Robert Silverberg, was created in 1973, but it failed to revive the series. NBC also tried broadcasting the old recordings, but their irregular once-monthly scheduling kept even devoted listeners from following the broadcasts. All episodes of the show survive.

Astrology - (from Greek , astron, "constellation, star"; and , -logia, "the study of") is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details can provide useful information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters. A practitioner of astrology is called an astrologer or an astrologist. Numerous traditions and applications employing astrological concepts have arisen since its earliest recorded beginnings in the 3rd millennium BC. Although scientists of the modern materialist age consider astrology a pseudoscience or superstition, it has played a role in the shaping of culture, early astronomy, the Vedas, The Bible and various disciplines throughout history. Astrology and astronomy were often indistinguishable before the modern era, with the desire for predictive and divinatory knowledge one of the primary motivating factors for astronomical observation. Astronomy began to diverge from astrology after a period of gradual separation from the Renaissance up until the 18th century. Eventually, astronomy distinguished itself as the scientific study of astronomical objects and phenomena without regard to the astrological understandings of these phenomena. Astrologers believe that the movements and positions of celestial bodies either directly influence life on Earth or correspond somehow to events experienced on a human scale. Modern astrologers define astrology as a symbolic language, an art form, or a form of divination. Despite differences in definitions, a common assumption of astrology is that celestial placements can aid in the interpretation of past and present events and in the prediction of the future. - www.thewakingdream.net

In her youth Poppy Lynn was always 'seeing' things that other people did not - some might call them 'ghosts' or 'spirits', but whatever they were, they had a strange reality of their own, and it was of benefit to her to pay heed to the things they said and the 'signs' that were placed before her. Poppy Lynn was fortunate to have the support and encouragement of her friends and family. All too often, special abilities like this can be branded as 'evil' by the superstitious. But for Poppy Lynn they are a natural, healthy and vibrant part of life. Over time, Poppy Lynn learned different ways of tapping into her own intuition. For years Poppy Lynn was an 'amateur' helping out friends who were in need, but always feeling that she could do more and do it for more people. In the past few years, the universe has conspired (yes, it seems to do that!) to make a full-time endeavour of helping people with her gifts. Poppy Lynn now regularly offer readings and consultations to people all around the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario (and beyond!). Poppy Lynn became a regular featured tarot reader at the monthly "Mystic Spas" hosted by the All is Well Bookshop in Oakville. After that shop closed, Poppy Lynn took over the operation of the Mystic Spa from Sheilane, and now host Spas at various locations around Burlington and Oakville, helping other talented people to share their gifts with the world. Part of Poppy still feels quite modest, almost embarrassed, to hear people 'praising' her so highly. But it pleases her more to know that what she offers to people is so helpful in their lives. In addition to her years of experience as a tarot reader and psychic, she's had the chance to work and volunteer in areas of mental health, various aspects of personal and group counseling (including bereavement counselling) and in palliative care. Poppy Lynn also practices Therapeutic Touch, and is a registered member of the Therapeutic Touch Network of Ontario. Poppy Lynn is a labyrinth facilitator, and worked on the municipal committee to construct the Central Park Labyrinth in Burlington. One of Canada's first fully-accessible public outdoor labyrinths - www.poppylynn.com and www.mysticspa.ca .

Douglas James Cottrell

is a Canadian psychic or trance clairvoyant, healer and author. A writer and journalist once referred to Douglas as "the only authenticated successor to the Edgar Cayce phenomenon." Often, Douglas's Deep Trance Meditation style is compared to that of Edgar Cayce, one of the most-documented intuitives of our century. In fact, the media has dubbed Douglas, "Canada's Edgar Cayce." Douglas is among a select few who are able to genuinely demonstrate a variety of different mental/spiritual abilities: remote viewing, clairvoyance, prediction, prophecy, communication with disembodied souls, dream interpretation, aura seeing and interpretation, and spiritual healing. Yet Douglas is quite humble when discussing these amazing abilities. He asserts that anyone can learn to express such abilities themselves, to varying degrees. Premonition, precognition, prediction and prophecy all represent various creative aspects of the human Soul. To read how Douglas learned to develop these abilities - www.douglasjamescottrell.com
