In this recording, Dreyfuss tells the story of his adventure of traveling to India as a hippie over a period of several months, to meet Baba in 1965. After years of public work against drug use, including serving as the director of a drug program in Berkeley, Dreyfuss became an acupuncturist and doctor of Chinese medicine, retiring in Black Mountain, North Carolina, where he died in 2012.

Instead, he was educated and practiced as a Virginia pharmacist. He then worked for Eli Lilly and Company for thirty-four years. Building upon his work at Lilly in developing continuing education programs for pharmacists, he explored fiction writing after retiring. His first public literary effort led to his first book and to his screenplay adaptation of that book. Much later, his urgent concerns about aging and his wife's lingering illnesses provoked questions about life and death seemingly not answered by his Christian upbringing. He began a search of literature from health care professionals and the clergy. As a skeptic about the paranormal and metaphysical by training, he happened upon research by eminent professionals that suggested soul survival of bodily death. So he launched a never-ending search for credible reports about soul survival, the afterlife, and reincarnation. This led him to a conviction about God and personal spirituality and his second book. He also documented emerging scientific advances that significantly affect human health and well being, resulting in his third and fourth books. His fifth book was "Spirituality Beyond Science and Religion". His next book will be "Souls are Real! Death is Not!". 01:13:00StephenSakellariosnoafterlife,life after death,grief,soul,survival after deathWilliam Pillow was reared as a Southern Baptist Christian and once considered entering the Christian ministry.

He soon switched to sociology, in his quest to understand social behavior. He graduated from Old Dominion University in 1985, and in 1986 returned to Greece where he took over a family business.   In 1990 he became acquainted with the Silva method and obtained seminar training in trance states. Finally, in 2000, he was formally trained in hypnosis in Athens by Burt Goldman, a Silva Method presenter. From there he started experimenting with friends, and decided to enter the field professionally.   Komianos then became accredited by the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) as a Certified Hypnotherapist, and moved to Corfu where he has practiced professionally since 2004.

NewellBorn and raised in rural Massachusetts, James quit high school at 15 and began playing drums for internationally known cabaret singer Helen Schneider. He later moved to Boston where he began working with former Muddy Waters guitarist Luther "Georgia Boy" "Shaky Snake" Johnson. James soon found himself touring college campuses in "packaged" blues shows featuring such blues greats as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Mose Allison, John Hammond, Jr., Robert "Jr." Lockwood and John Mayall. His affiliation with Johnson ultimately led to more work as a drummer with a variety of blues greats including John Lee Hooker, James Cotton, Jr. Wells, Hubert Sumlin, Big Joe Turner, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and others. James received his bachelor's in psychology from Tennessee State University in 1999, and his master's in pastoral counseling and theology at Vanderbilt University Divinity School in 2001. In 2007, he earned his Ph.D. in History and Critical Theories of Religion from Vanderbilt. His dissertation focused on music in Islam, with a special emphasis on the South Asian practice of Qawwali (Sufi devotional music). James also serves on the board of the Depth Psychology Alliance, a global community for discussing Jungian and depth psychology. James' most recent CD is "The Songs of Hafiz," breaking new artistic ground by setting to music the poetry of 14th century Persian Sufi poet Hafiz of Shiraz.  He sets the classic images of Persian ghazal poetry to an eclectic blend of world, folk and blues melodies.  His feel for American blues evokes the ambiance of the traditional Sufi tavern, with the traditional Persian themes of lover and beloved, the wine of Divine intoxication, and the torturous path of love.   01:06:00StephenSakellariosnoHafiz,blues,Sufism,mysticism,musicBorn and raised in rural Massachusetts, James quit high school at 15 and began playing drums for internationally known cabaret singer Helen Schneider.

She received her medical degree in 1983 from Johns Hopkins University, and stayed to complete postdoctoral training in medicine, neurology, and psychiatry. In January 1987 she trained for six months at The Institute of Psychiatry in London, England with Sir Michael Rutter, who was knighted for his work on autism. In July 1987, Dr. Powell joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School where she taught neuropsychiatry, and gained experience in cross-cultural psychiatry and mind-body medicine. She moved in July 1989 to engage in molecular biology research at the University of California at San Diego during the Human Genome Project. The deeper her studies of neuroscience took her, the more apparent it became that the mysteries of human consciousness could not be understood through mainstream theories. Her research interests include the neuroscience of extraordinary states of human consciousness and anomalous experiences, discussed in detail in her 2008 book The ESP Enigma: A Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena. In 2010, she was invited to participate in a private symposium on Wasan Island, sponsored by the Brueninger Foundation. Jeff Kripal, Sudhir Kakar and Dean Radin and others also attended. The 2012 book, Seriously Strange: Thinking Anew about Psychical Experiences, is an academic compilation that arose from this gathering with each participant contributing a chapter. In January of this year she traveled to India to evaluate autistic savants as part of her ongoing research for her next book. 01:27:00StephenSakellariosnoconsciousness,brain,ESP,NDE,mind-body connectionDiane Powell, M.D. is an author, public speaker, researcher and practicing psychiatrist.

Snow served for 38 years at the Indianapolis Police Department, retiring in 2007 with the rank of captain. While at the police department he served in such capacities as Police Department Executive Officer, Captain of Detectives, and Commander of the Homicide Branch. He has also been a publishing writer for over 30 years. He has had over 100 articles and short stories published in well-known magazines, and he has had fifteen books published. Almost all of Robert Snow's published works were written so that readers could use his knowledge of law enforcement to better protect themselves and their loved ones. However, he has also written one book describing his research on his own past-life memories, which came to him through a hypnotic past-life regression which he agreed to on a dare. This book is entitled "Looking for James Carroll Beckwith: the True Stories of a Detective's Search for His Past," and it is this past-life case we will be talking about this evening. 01:30:00StephenSakellariosnoreincarnation,proof,past-life memory,hypnotic regression,investigationRobert L.
