A Review On The Ninth International Conference on Science & Consciousness 2007
As Merlian News is one of the sponsors for the Message Company’s Ninth International Conference on Science and Consciousness 2007, I thought it would be appropriate to attend this years conference. Their aim “is to create an environment where we can explore and experience the space between the ordinary world and that unseen realm which science is continuously discovering and quantifying.”

Is your brain holding you back? Sahar Huneidi Explains how different parts of our brain can stop us making positive changes and how we get around this... "According to the triune brain theory, developed by Dr. Paul MacLean, Chief of Brain Evolution and Behavior at the National Institutes of Health, we have three brains, not just one. The brain stem or reptilian brain which is the oldest and smallest brain of the evolved human remnant of our prehistoric past, and similar to the brain possessed by reptiles that preceded mammals, roughly 200 million years ago.

Lives In Between Lives
What happens to a soul when the body dies? It’s been assumed that there is some kind of judgment involved, followed by different things, depending on your belief system – descent into a fiery pit, ascension into heaven, or a return to this physical plane in another mortal body. For those who believe in reincarnation, the third option fits, but it’s never been known how this next life is selected, and again it was assumed that the quality of your next life would depend on how you had lived, and after judgment, what kind of life would suit the ‘crime’.

Shift Your Life by David L. Cunningham with Linda Lee Ratto
"True stories of healing are interspersed with the insights, milestones and synchronicities that guided the author along his path. Journal entries capture the dreams, premonitions and spiritual guidance that Mr. Cunningham received for years before he fully accepted his calling to heal. This culminated in a life shifting event in 1990 in which he was captured by Saddam Hussein’s army, and held hostage for over three months. It was during that period of captivity that Cunningham pledged to dedicate his life to helping others."
The Fourth Dimension by Rudolf Steiner
There are few words that can be said about a book concerned with extra dimensional reality that a three dimensional being could use or even know. Having had no reason to establish meaning behind the concepts addressed in this book the best that can be said is that the experience is out of this world. Or rather, my perception.
Your Future in a Coffee Cup by Sahar Huneidi
For a slim book, there is a wealth of information and inspiration packed in Your Future in a Coffee Cup. The average reader will finish it and want to run out and start grinding their own coffee right away! And if, as the author says, there is power in the ability to foresee the future – to know what is coming or how to make different choices – then there is a great amount of power in this book that will get you there.
Thank you once more, for your positive feed back and support!
