Imagine if there was an explanation for everything in the universe? Einstein was working on a theory upon his death and it was coined the "Theory of Everything."
Over the last couple of decades, physicists have been trying to make sense of an uncomfortable discovery. Their discovery was that it is utterly impossible to pinpoint the location of a sub atomic atom (and mind you, we're all made up of sub-atomic atoms, folks). Turns out that sub-atomic particles are able to be in more than one place at one time. They do not exist in our universe alone but rather it seems that they flutter in and out of an infinite number of parallel universes.
There's a breathtaking new theory floating around out there called "M Theory." M theory theorizes that we live within 11 dimensions - not the 3 dimensional universe that we've come to accept. (Interestingly enough, mystics and spiritualist have been claiming such places exist for centuries.)
Many of you may have heard of String Theory which appeared in the early 1980's. This theory states that rather than particles being the base composition of solid matter, a tiny invisible string formation is the basis and matter emanates from these strings. If you pluck a guitar string a certain way, the result is a frequency emission. Lots of different plucking results in many different frequencies. String Theory theorizes that the universe is a symphony. Tiny little notes bouncing off the vibrating strings.
String theory eventually unraveled for physicists and shortly thereafter, the "Super Gravity" theorists appeared. The only difference between String Theory and Super Gravity was the number of dimensions believed to be within the universe. String Theory supports 10 dimensions and Super Gravity supports 11 dimensions. String Theory theorizes of 9 spacial dimensions and one dimension of time. These are microscopic dimensions that we cannot perceive.
After the String Theory folks debated with the Super Gravity guys for years over the matter, they eventually did something unexpected - and they accepted the 11th dimension. When this was done, suddenly something magical happened. String Theory equated beautifully into the 11 dimensions and suddenly everything seems to start making sense.
But there was another change in store and this was a change in the strings themselves. The strings were stretched and combined into one vast structure - a membrane if you will. A grid plane. This new theory, a combination of String Theory and Super Gravity mentality, is called "M Theory." M Theory has been related to Magic Theory, Membrane Theory, Madness Theory, Mystery Theory, Mother Theory.
Now let's take a close look at the 11th dimension. It's a place where rules are abandoned and it's much, much smaller than you could ever imagine. It's one trillionth of a millimeter. Take a millimeter measurement and divide it by 10 - with 20 zeros after it. So what does this mean?
Sit down, folks. It means that this 11th dimension exists only one trillionth of a millimeter from every single point in our 3 dimensional world. Can you grasp that? It's closer than your clothing, and yet you don't know its there. It's a floating membrane universe and it's so very close, we should all be tasting it.
Not only does M Theory and an 11th dimension equate beautifully, it also explains gravity. Gravity's overall weakness has been mystifying physicists and scientists for years. The entire earth is pulling against you, yet you can pick things up and jump up and down freely. The 11th dimension solves this problem for the first time. If the 11th dimension is the natural home of gravity, then it would be as strong as the other forces in the 11th dimension - but by the time it reaches us, its weakened. We see the tail end of gravity and its weakness is finally explained - but only with the introduction of a parallel universe.
As further study would have it, physicists began finding parallel universes in every corner of the 11th dimension within their new equations. Some of these universes are sheets of energy, some are looped like donuts, some are cylindrical and some are round. So who lives there? What does the 11th dimension look like? Imagine a ball of Swiss cheese with holes, loops and intersections in membrane form. Atoms may dissolve there and it, most likely, is an unstable environment for solid stable matter to form within.
M Theory is strange, but does it properly equate into the single most important question - the matter of "singularity?" The big bang, the creation of our universe? Yes, it actually does. You see, universes move through the 11th dimension at forceful rates and collisions are possible. If you have two, rough-edged rippling, flexing, waving membrane universes that happen to collide and hit at different points and at different times. . . their rippling edges agitating against one another will cause the formation of solid matter and radiation to start lifting off. Voila'! What was energy magically becomes solid matter.
When two universes collide . . . reality begins to form as a "byproduct" of sorts.
A complete explanation of the birth of the universe is born. Physicists can now take the laws of physics back to the big bang . . . and before it. Time can now be followed "through" the singularity and all can be beautifully explained through M Theory for the very first time.
If M Theory is ultimately accepted by the entire scientific community, it means that Einsteins missing Theory of Everything has finally been found. It also means that our mysterious universe . . . is actually no special place. Rather it's a very, very small part of a "MultiVerse" where universes coexist with other universes in the process of expansion. It's a bubble floating in an ocean of thousands of other bubbles.
Spiritualists for ages have firmly believed that the 4th dimension is the home of the spirit world and the dead. Theoretically, a four-dimensional figure (spirit) would pass through the third dimension (our dimension) in a changing three-dimensional form. This has the possibility to rationalize the sudden appearance and disappearance of ghosts and other visions reported by humans. A spirit residing in the fourth dimension would have the ability to be near a person or location always, but remain unseen unless it desired to pass through the third dimension.
So whats next for physicists willing to push the envelope? Well, they're going to make a universe - homegrown in a lab. Will it work? In theory, it should. But as of yet, we don't have the answer. However, if it does work, it will grow and splice itself off from our universe. It will begin to evolve as an isolated universe without displacing our universe at all.
Fantastic, isn't it? Life is truly a grand wonder.
Could it be that after all these years, spiritualist teachings and the paranormal turns out to have a scientific explanation? Will fiction be proved as fact? When viewing spirits, could it be that we're peaking into the 4th dimension?
And could it be that we are on the brink of major scientific breakthroughs in the realm of quantum physics? Breakthroughs that may forever change "life as we know it?" And could it be that these breakthroughs come on the heels of December 21, 2012. . . . leading mankind to make an "evolutionary leap" that forever changes "life as we know it?"
Because the ancients that prophesied an impending change to "life as we know it" . . . may not have been prophesying a doomsday at all - but rather, an attained state of enlightenment by mankind. An evolutionary leap - higher consciousness for our species attained through finally understanding our universe.
To introduce you to Psychometry we should start with a brief explanation of what it is and what you can do with it so let's get started. Psychometry is the ability to obtain information for an object such as impressions left by the owner or surroundings. There are many opinions as to how or why can this be possible. Some will say it comes form other dimensions such as spirits, others will tell you it is a vibrational imprint of sorts.
Most will accept that a person, for example, has a scent and can be smelled and even tracked by an animal such as a dog. Science tells us that light, color or radio waves vibrate at a particular frequency rate - virtually all things vibrate.
Vibrations such as radio waves are captured and converted into audio frequencies that we can hear. Our eyes capture and convert vibrations or frequency into colors that we can see yellow, red, blue, etc. so information can be obtained. So lets ask ourselves, "Why then, would it not be possible to hold or touch an object and obtain information or leave a vibrational imprint or scent on the object?"
No, we are not radios, in the sense of the word, so how would we obtain that information?
For starters, we have senses such as hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling and tasting. By using these, we can extract information from our surroundings. A good analogy would be pizza. We smell it, we instantly know what it is. And, very likely, this is then confirmed shortly thereafter by sight, taste and even texture - all senses that ultimately confirm "yes, that it is pizza."
So, let me run this by you - have you ever watched a container of water when bumped or sitting near machinery ripple? Depending on the excitable motion around it will make several big or many smaller ripples or vibrations.
Now let us go one step further and ask what the body's volume of water is? Science tells us the answer is somewhere around 90%. Why then, if we are of high volumes of liquid, would we not ripple or vibrate? Now, if we touch or hold an object, would it not transfer that vibration to the object? An object in motion will remain in motion until stopped by an immovable object.
We now know that all things are made from atoms and atoms have components in constant motion, protons, neutrons, etc. Although we perceive mass, such as a table as solid object, in reality it is not. Without scientific tools, we can only sense and perceive with the tools Mother Nature gives us. If I bumped the table with my knee, I would dispute the fact it was not solid.
I guess it is sometimes hard to except what is over what is perceived, but we find ourselves depending on what is perceived to guide our decisions. Ok, if you can accept my attempt to logically approach the possibility of reading the footprint or residue left on an object - how then do we go about extracting it?
First, I think it is a must to place ourselves in a receptive state. In doing this, we must clear our mind and raise our vibration through something like song or meditation. Song. . .sound. . .water. . .ripple. . .vibration? Does this all make some sort of sense with the preceding explanations?
Try Extracting information from a friend or relative - obtain an object. Holding the object or touching it, ask these questions and wait for a few moments for the perceived answer.
1. What do I feel while holding? Happy, Sad?
2. What do I smell? Pizza, ocean?
3. What do I hear? Car, machinery?
4. What do I taste? Coffee, food?
5. What impressions do I get about the owner or surroundings? Tall man, trees?
6. What do I see? Water, birds?
7. What is my general over all impressions? A happy man who loves the ocean and worked on a ship.
Perhaps the man was tall, liked pizza and enjoyed his coffee?
Many find it surprising just how accurate one can be with the first try. But like all, shall I say "skills" . . .you must practice to become proficient. Don't stop. There are many questions that could be asked and many more perceptions can add much more detail to the overall outcome.
Could it be that as we have evolved. . . we tend to rely too heavily on newer technology to guide us in our every day actions and perceptions? Because in the days of yore - when we were hunters and gathers - we had to rely on using our expanded senses to survive. You know, those "gut feelings."
Do they stay with us to some extent? Do we use them from time to time without realizing the "what" or "why" of it all? What do you think?

Definition: A body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings freely back and forth under the influence of gravity, commonly used to regulate various devices, especially clocks. Also called a pendulum.
The pendulum is a most useful tool and it has been said that even the beginner can achieve at least seventy percent accuracy. The possibilities of usage are virtually unlimited. In this writing I will deal with basic skill in ones quest for information. Just let your imaginations guide you.
I would like to state before you continue there are certain guidelines that need to be adhered to in order to achieve your goal. In communicating with spirit and the universe, we must always keep in mind that there are high and low energies all around us. In this workshop as well as most workshops dealing and working with spirit energies, you must protect yourself from the lower energies in order to maintain a high level of accuracy.
Therefore, it is my recommendation to either ask for the highest and best or your own method of protection before you start. I have found when working with spirit it is always what works for you. I also would like to point out when asking for information from spirit or whatever or wherever you feel the answers come from. Whether it be spirit or you higher self or universe. The bottom line is that you get what you ask for or the best answer at that particular point in time.
Keep in mind that the universe as well as everything in it is in constant change. So what is today may not be tomorrow. This should be kept in mind when working with the pendulum. Another point I would like to make is that when you use the pendulum to divine, your answer is literal so your question should be asked in literal form. A good example would be something like this.
Is my name Bill Smith? The pendulum indicates NO.
You say now the answer should have been yes because your name is Bill Smith? Boy, this dumb pendulum thing does not work well at all!
Let us look at this and try to figure out what went wrong. My name is Bill Smith. The answer may have been correct if Bill Smith was your true name. Your true name is “William Jo Smith”. Ah, does this change things a bit?
Now this leads to other possible non-answers. If I may ask you, are all answers yes or no? Can you have a maybe? It has been my experience when working with the pendulum that sometimes there can be no right or wrong answer to the question you are attempting to divine. Perhaps the information you are after is leaning to a positive percentage of yes, but due to changing energies it is not a definite Yes or No at this time. You may get an uncommitted answer. This will become clear later when we learn to calibrate and work with our pendulum.
Before we learn to calibrate a pendulum we must be in a state of mind to allow us to be open. Use whatever method of clearing your mind that you choose. Once you are clear you are now ready to “Calibrate” your pendulum. Holding your pendulum in either your right, left or both hands, slightly off a surface. Ask out loud to show you the direction it will swing for a yes answer. Then repeat the question for a no answer. I will give you a method I use; you may alter it to suit your preference. I ask it to swing back and forth for Yes and Side to side for No.
Left to right swings indicate a "no" response. Vertical swings in the opposite direction idicate a "yes" response.
(NOTE: I have seen people calibrate their pendulum to circle clockwise for yes and counter clockwise for no. It is as always your preference.)
When divining if your pendulum circles, with the back and forth and side ways calibration it could mean that there is not enough information at this time to give a good answer. Another possibility is that it does not swing quite yes or quite no. You would read your answer by asking yourself if it is swinging more back and forth than side to side would indicate that it is leaning more toward yes than no or visa versa but not definite at this time.
The pendulum is a “TOOL” and should not rule your decision-making but may be used as an aid in your decision-making.
I hope this introduction to the pendulum will enhance your mediumship skills and abilities. And in your everyday life aid you. As with any skill the more you use it the better it becomes.

The power of "intention" can be a powerful tool in ones pursuit of a happy life and or goals. It has been my observation during my life that few know how to use it. Thinking or longing for an individuals wants or changes does not give intention any power.
Why this is so? The answer I fear may be too complicated to enter into verbiage but I will give it a shot.
First, many get hung up on detail. In my mind, detail can be ones own nemesis. In our quest for detail, we lose the tool of emission. (Keep in mind - like attracts like.) My feeling is that detail is a left brain function and when dealing with energies, details absorb the energy that you need to emit intention to the universe.
We must FEEL what we want in order to EMIT change. Have you ever given thought to the understanding that thinking and feeling are separate and yet combined? Thinking and pondering emits erratic energies to the universe and the universe does not know how to act on your behalf - so it just shuffles the deck and deals.
Keep in mind that just maybe the universe would act on the most powerful thought. Perhaps I should try and clarify a little. When analyzing you are asking your self questions such as, "How would I feel if . . ?" or "How would I react if . . .?" In other words, "what if" type of thinking. Stimulating your thoughts expands your feelings and, therefore, expands your energy emission. Because like attracts like.
So be careful of your thoughts. Surely you've heard that old saying, "Careful what you wish for." This does not mean we should never think, although I know many who would appear to fall into that category.
When one chooses to ponder, would it not make sense to inform the universe that you are contemplating and please do not act at this time thank you. If you have ever felt a persons energy (aura) when angry or happy you will find there is a difference in the way you feel around their presence. It soon becomes apparent that thoughts and feelings really do EMIT.
What does this all mean and what is the bottom line? Well, if I want change for example I must BECOME that very change I desire - thus attracting like. In this equation, a positive feeling attracts like as does a negative thought attracts like. I must add when asking the universe we need to ask for the highest and best for all concerned and the harm of none also equal to or better.
With the experiments I have performed with dowsing rods and pendulums, thinking positive thought emits a greater energy than negative. It takes less energy to think positive and progressive than to think negative and judgmental. Even though these thoughts seem easier - they only rob or drain.
Intention for improvement or anything else must have ENERGY behind it for it to happen. So FEEL your thoughts. Being literal in your intention WILL produce for you. You do not have to be engaged 24/7. Just put a little FEELING in passing thought and then be patient.
My intention has rarely been for great wealth but more so for the opportunity to serve humanity. Not for glory or ego but for love and compassion given to me by a higher power. In my intention I have become aware that I have never wanted for much. With my intention to serve the universe it has served me well to which I have much gratitude.
I've included a mathematical equation to give a value for you to contemplate:
33 ½ Feeling, 33 ½ Attitude, 33 ½ Thought.
33 ½ + 33 ½ +33 ½ = 100% Intention

I have begun to notice a trend while surfing the Internet - the trend of awareness. As we all know, the year 2012 approaches. Many think it's an apocolypse, although, I do not. Many of my readers already know that I believe the year 2012 will signify a societal movement from that of an industrial age into that of a spiritual age - the age of awareness.
I'm seeing this trend unfold daily in television shows, publications, retail shops, software - the list goes on. Metaphysical matters that were once mocked and chalked up to "voodoo hokey pokey" are now being embraced by a much wider audience and even surfacing in some surprising places - like the world of business for one.
While searching for audio podcasts on metaphysical matters I came across several on a popular small business podcast site, Small Business Trends Radio:
- Renowned astrologer, Rick Levine, appeared as a guest to discuss the use of astrology in business - particularly on Wall Street. (Yes! I said Wall Street)
- Lynn Robinson, Author of "Trust Your Gut - How The Power of Intuition Can Grow Your Business," appeared to discuss the importance of relying on your intuition when making important business decisions.
- Lastly, Jimmy Vee & Travis Miller appeared to discuss the topic of attracting more sales using the Law of Attraction.
And it seems that they're not the only ones in the business world embracing such practices.
A general query can provide additional similar results. Forty years ago, I don't think we would've seen topics such as this embraced by the corporate world. It seems clear to me that we're evolving as a society, as a race, and that our awareness is building and evolving.
Have a listen to the audio files above and see for yourself. Astrologer, Rick Levine's interview was particularly compelling to me and his perspective and explanation of astrology was one of the best I've heard to date.
Simply one word - magnificent. The Crystal Cave of Giants that is. Also known as Cueva de los Cristales. It looks like something out of the movies - Superman's Fortress of Solitude perhaps? Look closely folks, there are men standing in each of these pictures. Almost hard to believe, isn't it?
The Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, is a mine well-known for its extraordinary, rare crystals. But it didn't start out like that. The Naica Mine started out as a silver and gold mine in 1794 turning into a lead and zinc mine by the early 1900's. But in the spring of 2000, two brothers employed by the Naica Mine discovered a national treasure while drilling a new tunnel when they drilled into what is now known as the Crystal Cave of Giants. And what a treasure it is.
 It's not hard to imagine that something magical could take place there. Crystals, after all, have been said to have a physical effect on the human body. There isn't any scientific proof of this so-to-speak, but here is what we do know. 1.) Crystals can vibrate and different crystals vibrate at different rates. 2.) Electricity applied to quartz crystal creates vibration - a regular, consistent harmonic pattern. 3.) Crystals illuminated with light will create energy. 4.) Everything is energy. Including you and I - and our energy can be affected by other energy.
So, if quartz can organize energy simply by contacting it, why can't it have the same effect on us? Because after all, we are energy.
 Science is finally taking a look at what spiritualists have understood for centuries - that our physical universe is not really "physical" at all. They are beginning to understand, on a quantum level, that our universe and it's inhabitants are part of a mesh, a kind of force or essence that we call energy.
Science is realizing that things that appear to be physical in nature (i.e gas, solid, liquid) when broken down to their core essence at the sub atomic level are simply particle within particle - and those particles eventually turn out to be energy. At the sub atomic level - we are all just energy. Meshing, forming, moving and vibrating at specific frequencies.
 Imagine a radio and all of the stations on it's dial. Now imagine the radio waves, the information floating around out there. You can't see it, but it's there, nonetheless. In order to receive that information, we need to tune into a specific frequency on the radio. We need to tune into those vibrations. We are all part of a great energy. Things we perceive as physical are just various forms of energy. In a literal physical sense - we are all one. Just because we can't see or understand certain things, doesn't mean they aren't there or aren't happening.
As I look at these pictures, I have this in mind. And visitors to this cave of giant crystals can only  stay for very brief periods of time. They are said to be overcome by a myriad of emotions and hallucinations and the intense pressure and heat that exist in the environment are life threatening and can cease normal brain functions. One such incident happened when one of the workers attempted to steal some of the mega crystals. He carried in plastic bags filled with air and was later found dead, literally baked. And oddly enough, it has been known that women in particular, have been observed by others as "glowing" inside the cave.
Viewing these photos also makes me think about the ancient Mayan civilization and their infamous Crystal Skulls. Indiana Jones himself is about to embark on his very own crystal skull adventure in the new film, "Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull." Could the Mayans have created the Mitchell-Hedges Skull from such a cave? Most likely, they did.
The Crystal Cave of Giants is a mysterious and magical realm and I'm sure it has many, many secrets to reveal.

In Italy, during the first half of the fifteenth century, it is believed that the first set of Tarot cards were created. Centuries later, France and England discovered the Tarot and saw mystical meaning in their symbolisms, which led to their current use as tools of divination.
The Rider-Waite deck (pictured left) is probably one of the most popular decks, and the easiest to learn, with it's images created by Pamela Coleman Smith in 1909, commissioned by Arthur Edward Waite.

 In the last few years we've seen some extraordinary research in this field coming out of prestigious universities and medical schools and places like the National Institute of Health. About 20 years ago it was discovered, for example, that our thoughts and our feelings have physical substrate to them. When you think a thought you make a molecule. To think is to practice brain chemistry. And in fact these thoughts are translated into very precise molecules known as neuropeptides. '"Neuro"' because they were first found in the brain. And 'peptides' because they're protein-like molecules. And thoughts, feelings, emotions and desires translate into the flux of neuropeptides in the brain. You can think of these neuro-peptides like little keys that fit into very precise locks called receptors on the cell walls or other neurons. So the way this part of the brain speaks to another part of the brain is not necessarily in English with an Indian accent, but in the precise language of these neuropeptides.
What was found subsequently, which was absolutely fascinating was that there were receptors to neuropeptides not only in brain cells but other parts of the body. So when scientists started looking for receptors to neuropeptides in cells of the immune system, for example: T cells, B cells, monocytes and macrophages - when they started looking at them, they found that on the cell walls of all these there were receptors for the same neuropeptides which are the molecular substrate of thought.
So your immune cells are in fact constantly eavesdropping on your internal dialogue. Nothing that you say to yourself, which you're doing all the time, even in sleep, escapes the attention of the immune cells. Not only that, the immune cells, it was subsequently discovered, can make the same peptides that the brain makes when it thinks.
Now here we come to a startling finding, because if the immune cell is making the same chemicals that the brain is making when it thinks, then the immune cell is a thinking cell. It's a conscious little being.
In fact, the more you look at it, the more you find that it behaves just like a neuron. It makes the same chemical cords that the brain uses for emotion, thought, feeling and desire. An immune cell has emotions. It has desires. It has an intellect. It knows how to discriminate and remember.
It has to decide when it sees a carcinogen, "Is this a carcinogen? Should I go after it? Should I leave it alone? Is this a friendly bacteria? Should I go after it or leave it alone?" It has to remember the last time it encountered something. In fact it remembers the last time somebody else encountered the same thing.
Your immune cells can immediately recognize anything that has ever been encountered by any living species. If you are exposed to pneumococus for the first time in your life, your immune cells still remember the last time somebody somewhere in prehistoric time encountered a pneumococus and knows how to make the precise antibody to it.
It's not only a thinking cell but it remembers way back into the evolutionary history of not only the human species but other species as well. So you ask a good neurologist the difference between an immune cell and a neuron and they'll say there isn't any. The immune cell is a circulating nervous system.
Now if that wasn't enough of a startling discovery, the subsequent discoveries in science have been even more interesting, because when scientists started looking elsewhere in the body they found the same phenomenon. When they looked at stomach cells and intestinal cells they found the same peptides. The stomach cells make the same chemical cords that the brain makes when it thinks. Of course they're not verbally as elite as the brain, in that they don't think in English or Swahili, but nevertheless, they are thinking cells.
When you say, "I have a gut feeling about such and such," you're not speaking metaphorically anymore. You're speaking quite literally because you're gut makes the same chemicals as the brain makes when it thinks. In fact your gut feelings may be a little more accurate because gut cells haven't yet evolved to the stage of self doubt.
What science is discovering is that we have a thinking body. Every cell in our body thinks. Every cell in our body is actually a mind. Every cell has its own desires and it communicates with every other cell. The new word is not mind and body connection, we have a body-mind simultaneously everywhere.
