	Elisabet Sahtouris HOLISTIC BIOLOGY (#H030)	1 hour $34.95

Consciousness may be thought of as the beginning point of evolution and of creation, rather than as a recent by-product of the evolutionary process. To support this view, Elisabet Sahtouris cites developments in quantum physics. She notes that a guiding intelligence can be observed in evolution, and that even the DNA molecules themselves show extraordinary properties of intelligence. Sahtouris notes that human culture has set itself against the natural world. This, she maintains, is characteristic of young species such as our own. Mature species, however, learn to cooperate with the environment. This level of social and natural organization can be seen in the complex harmony of rain forests. This is of special concern for the human species, as we have already seen the extinction of our close human ancestors. Elizabet Sahtouris is author of A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us and coauthor, with the late Willis Harman, of Biology Revisioned.

	Michael Samuels CREATIVE HEALING (#H322)	1 hour $34.95

In the past few decades a new profession has developed that combines the art of healing with the emotional pleasures of artistic creativity. Michael Samuels describes the dyadic relationship that occurs in a hospital setting between an artist and one who is suffering from an illness. Almost universally, the artist regards this relationship as one that is sacred. Virtually all of the arts, he says, have an intrinsic healing effect—drawing, dancing, music, gardening, poetry and drama. Michael Samuels, M.D., is the author of sixteen books on holistic medicine including The Well Body Book, The Well Baby Book, Seeing with the Mind’s Eye, Healing with the Mind’s Eye, and Creative Healing (co-authored with Mary Stockwood Lane).

	J. Nigro Sansonese THE BODY OF MYTH (#H240)	1 hour $34.95

J. Nigro Sansonese maintains that ancient myths throughout the world are coded instructions for esoteric practice involving a deep awareness of the human body. He points out that the ancient Greeks share common ancestry with the Hindus and that the primal traditions of all peoples involve a knowledge of trance states which is coded in myth. J. Nigro Sansonese is a scholar and author of The Body of Myth.

	Jack Sarfatti PHYSICS AND THE PARANORMAL (#H352)	1 hour $34.95

Jack Sarfatti presents his model for "post-quantum physics" in which he postulates that consciousness exists at a level outside of time and space, beyond that of quantum mechanical probability waves. He suggests that this scientific model may eventually allow us to build conscious computer chips. In Part II, Jack explains how he views consciousness, both human and non-human, as a physical but non-material process that interacts with the material world through synchronicity. Jack Sarfatti, PhD, is President of the Internet Science Education Project. He is co-author of Space, Time and Beyond.

	Rabbi Zalman Schachter SPIRITUAL ELDERING (#H015)	1 hour $34.95

The model of the spiritual elder is an appropriate one for individuals experiencing an extended lifespan. This process can be facilitated through the application of transpersonal and humanistic processes. A major part of this work involves an examination of one's life and an understanding of how apparently negative events often lead to positive outcomes. Inner work is also essential to relieve oneself of the burden of resentment and anger that can accumulate over a lifetime. Zalman Schachter, Ph.D., is emeritus professor of the psychology of religion and religious mysticism at Temple University. He is author of Spiritual Intimacy.

	Leonard Shlain IMAGERY AND THE ALPHABET (#H360)	1 hour $34.95

In ancient times, says Leonard Shlain, human societies universally worshipped the image of a goddess. Sometime about 5,000 years ago a massive shift occurred in which the sex of the diety changed. He presents his hypothesis that this change is related to the introduction of the alphabet and its effects upon the human brain. He notes that in the west, witchhunts and other effects of male-dominant society occurred at a time of rising literacy. He also suggests that the rise of feminism in the twentieth century is correlated with increased use of imagery as a result of film and television. Leonard Shlain is an associate professor of surgery at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. He is author of Art and Physics and The Alphabet Versus the Goddess.

	Therese Schroeder-Sheker MUSIC AND THE ART OF DYING (#H280)	1 hour $34.95

Therese Schroeder-Sheker describes her pioneering work in the application of palliative music during deathbed vigils. She also discusses the medicinal uses of music, pointing out that ancient traditions refer to music as a bridge between the earthly plane and the various celestial spheres through which it was believed that the soul journeys. Schroeder-Sheker is director of the Chalice of Repose Project at St. Patrick's Hospital in Missoula, Montana, and an internationally known musician and recording artist.

	Stephan A. Schwartz INTERCONNECTEDNESS AND SOCIAL POLICY (#H365)	1 hour $34.95

Until recent times, says Stephan Schwartz, human beings felt more connected and less alienated from their communities. He describes his fieldwork with various indigenous peoples who instinctively understand how human beings fit into the fabric of nature. Studies of the effectiveness of prayer in healing, he says, suggest that human consciousness interacts directly in the world. Stephan A. Schwartz is a founder of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness. He is author of The Secret Vaults of Time.

	Francis Seeburger ADDICTION AND RESPONSIBILITY (#H450)	1 hour $34.95

The root of addiction is a spiritual yearning that underlies all cravings and many addictions are so pervasive in our society that we fail to recognize them. Francis Seeburger compares the addict with the saint, suggesting that both show a willingness to sacrifice everything to satisfy their longings, and adds that addicts can achieve states of spiritual redemption as they struggle through recovery. Francis Seeburger, Ph.D., is chairman of the Philosophy Department at the University of Denver. He is author of The Stream of Thought and Addiction and Responsibility.

	Saul-Paul Sirag EXPLORING HYPERSPACE (#H295)	1 hour $34.95

Saul-Paul Sirag reviews the history of our understanding of higher dimensions, from early ideas of the "fourth dimension" to the early 20th century dimensional theory that proved to be successful in unifying electromagnetism and gravity. This search for unification has lead to continued exploration of higher dimensional space. Saul-Paul Sirag is a theoretical physicist who has developed a model utilizing hyperspace to unify Einstein's theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics.

	Huston Smith THE WORLD'S PHILOSOPHIES (#H120)	1 hour $34.95

Philosopher Huston Smith points out that we confront three essential relationships with nature, with other people, and with ourselves, and that these relationships correspond to the enduring philosophical traditions of the West, of China and of India. He also argues that human history may be divided into four philosophical epochs archaic, traditional, modern and post-modern. Huston Smith is emeritus professor of philosophy at Syracuse University. He has also taught at M.I.T. and at U.C. Berkeley. He is author of The World's Religions, The Primordial Tradition and Beyond the Post-Modern Mind.

	Malidoma Patrice Somé AFRICAN RITUAL AND INITIATION (#H320)	1 hour $34.95

Somé describes his childhood among the Dagara people, focusing on their use of ritual as a means of establishing an ongoing relationship with the worlds of their ancestors and of the spirits. He also describes his own shamanic initiation. He suggests that the elders of the Dagara community were skilled in creating doorways through which practitioners could pass into other dimensions of reality. Malidoma Patrice Somé, Ph.D., is a shaman of the Dagara tribe of West Africa. He is author of Ritual: Power, Healing and Community and Of Water and the Spirit.

	Patricia Sun CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIPS (#H250)	1 hour $34.95

Patricia Sun presents the provocative view that women have a more highly developed rational and verbal capacity than men and that men are more emotional than women. She suggests that women will better understand men if they take a softer, less judgemental approach. Men will better communicate with women if they make a rational effort to understand and articulate their own emotions. Patricia Sun is an internationally recognized speaker, healer and spiritual teacher.

	Russell Targ MIRACLES OF MIND (#H205)	1 hour $34.95

He describes remote viewing research he conducted with sponsorship from the CIA and military intelligence establishment. He presents graphic illustrations of the tests that persuaded the government to fund this research. He describes his own personal experiences as a remote viewer. He explains that remote viewing, or free-response clairvoyance, is probably the single most successful research approach in parapsychology. Dr. Targ suggests that the mind itself reaches to the far ends of the universe and it is this "non-local" quality, rather than any particular mechanism, that accounts for the remarkable data of parapsychology. Russell Targ is co-founder of the government sponsored remote viewing research program at SRI International. He is co-author of The Mind Race, Mind At Large, Mind Reach and Miracles of Mind.

	Luisah Teish CARNIVAL OF THE SPIRIT (#H110)	1 hour $34.95

Luisah Teish's work engages every aspect of life--from singing, dancing and storytelling to rituals observing the cycles of life. She describes the religions of the African diaspora, noting that they survive in the west by blending with the dominant Christian faith. Luisah Teish is priestess of Oshun, the African Yoruba goddess of love. She is also on the faculty of the University of Creation Spirituality and a board member of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology. she is author of Jambalaya and Carnival of the Spirit.

	Stan Tenen THE GEOMETRY OF LANGUAGE (#H777)	1 hour $34.95

Stan Tenen notes that the two primary names of God in the Hebrew Torah refer to the fundamental metaphysical principles of duality: the god within and the god without, god as a singular entity and god as infinite. The key insight of Judaism, that these principles are actually one, is embedded in the very structure and shape of the Hebrew letters. Tenen further explains that these letters can all be derived from a language of gestures - and suggests that this was the original language of humanity. Stan Tenen is Director of Research of the MERU Foundation. He has produced several videotapes including The Dance of the Hebrew Letters and Geometric Metaphors of Life is currently working on a book about the sacred geometry embodied in Genesis and the alphabet.

	David Whyte PRESERVING THE SOUL (#H222)	1 hour $34.95

Poetry allows us to acknowledge the fullness of our being in ways that are often denied in daily life. This denial has often proved both injurious to the soul and bad for business. Poetry unites us with the soul of the world. David White is author of several books of poetry and a book of prose and poetry, The Heart Aroused. Whyte maintains that poetry provides a treasure of wisdom that gives guidance in times of crisis. The insights of poetry can facilitate an awakening of vision and a breakthrough from the paralysis caused by confusion, doubt and humdrum routine.

	Fred Alan Wolf THE DREAMING UNIVERSE (#H370)	1 hour $34.95

Physicist Fred Wolf speculates on the nature of human consciousness, its relationship to the brain and to the world of dreaming. In this highly entertaining program, he presents evidence suggesting that the world of dreams is ontologically real, discussing the "dreamtime" of the Australian aborigines, evidence for dream telepathy and the different levels of lucid dreaming. Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., received the American Book Award in science for Taking the Quantum Leap. He is also author of The Eagle's Quest, The Dreaming Universe and The Spiritual Universe.

	Fred Alan Wolf THE SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE (#H200)	1 hour $34.95

Fred Wolf presents an enlightening survey of the human notion of the Soul from ancient wisdom to modern physics, including the view that there is but on Soul in the universe--the universal consciousness of which we all partake. Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., received the American Book Award in science for Taking the Quantum Leap. He is also author of The Eagle's Quest, The Dreaming Universe and The Spiritual Universe.
