Nikola Tesla symbolizes a unifying force and inspiration for all nations in the name of peace and science. He was a true visionary far ahead of his contemporaries in the field of scientific development. New York State and many other states in the USA proclaimed July 10, Tesla’s birthday- Nikola Tesla Day.
Many United States Congressmen gave speeches in the House of Representatives on July 10, 1990 celebrating the 134th anniversary of scientist-inventor Nikola Tesla. Senator Levine from Michigan spoke in the US Senate on the same occasion.
The street sign “Nikola Tesla Corner” was recently placed on the corner of the 40th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. There is a large photo of Tesla in the Statue of Liberty Museum. The Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey has a daily science demonstration of the Tesla Coil creating a million volts of electricity before the spectators eyes. Many boo Time ks were written about Tesla : Prodigal Genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla by John J. O’Neill and Margaret Cheney’s book Tesla: Man out of has contributed significantly to his fame. A documentary film Nikola Tesla, The Genius Who Lit the World, produced by the Tesla Memorial Society and the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, The Secret of Nikola Tesla (Orson Welles), BBC Film Masters of the Ionosphere are other tributes to the great genius.
Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Lika, which was then part of the Austo-Hungarian Empire, region of Croatia. His father, Milutin Tesla was a Serbian Orthodox Priest and his mother Djuka Mandic was an inventor in her own right of household appliances. Tesla studied at the Realschule, Karlstadt in 1873, the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague. At first, he intended to specialize in physics and mathematics, but soon he became fascinated with electricity. He began his career as an electrical engineer with a telephone company in Budapest in 1881. It was there, as Tesla was walking with a friend through the city park that the elusive solution to the rotating magnetic field flashed through his mind. With a stick, he drew a diagram in the sand explaining to his friend the principle of the induction motor. Before going to America, Tesla joined Continental Edison Company in Paris where he designed dynamos. While in Strassbourg in 1883, he privately built a prototype of the induction motor and ran it successfully. Unable to interest anyone in Europe in promoting this radical device, Tesla accepted an offer to work for Thomas Edison in New York. His childhood dream was to come to America to harness the power of Niagara Falls.
Young Nikola Tesla came to the United States in 1884 with an introduction letter from Charles Batchelor to Thomas Edison: “I know two great men,” wrote Batchelor, “one is you and the other is this young man.” Tesla spent the next 59 years of his productive life living in New York. Tesla set about improving Edison’s line of dynamos while working in Edison’s lab in New Jersey. It was here that his divergence of opinion with Edison over direct current versus alternating current began. This disagreement climaxed in the war of the currents as Edison fought a losing battle to protect his investment in direct current equipment and facilities.
Tesla pointed out the inefficiency of Edison’s direct current electrical powerhouses that have been build up and down the Atlantic seaboard. The secret, he felt, lay in the use of alternating current ,because to him all energies were cyclic. Why not build generators that would send electrical energy along distribution lines first one way, than another, in multiple waves using the polyphase principle?
Edison’s lamps were weak and inefficient when supplied by direct current. This system had a severe disadvantage in that it could not be transported more than two miles due to its inability to step up to high voltage levels necessary for long distance transmission. Consequently, a direct current power station was required at two mile intervals.
Direct current flows continuously in one direction; alternating current changes direction 50 or 60 times per second and can be stepped up to vary high voltage levels, minimizing power loss across great distances. The future belongs to alternating current.
Nikola Tesla developed polyphase alternating current system of generators, motors and transformers and held 40 basic U.S. patents on the system, which George Westinghouse bought, determined to supply America with the Tesla system. Edison did not want to lose his DC empire, and a bitter war ensued. This was the war of the currents between AC and DC. Tesla -Westinghouse ultimately emerged the victor because AC was a superior technology. It was a war won for the progress of both America and the world.
Tesla introduced his motors and electrical systems in a classic paper, “A New System of Alternating Current Motors and Transformers” which he delivered before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1888. One of the most impressed was the industrialist and inventor George Westinghouse. One day he visited Tesla’s laboratory and was amazed at what he saw. Tesla had constructed a model polyphase system consisting of an alternating current dynamo, step-up and step-down transformers and A.C. motor at the other end. The perfect partnership between Tesla and Westinghouse for the nationwide use of electricity in America had begun.
In February 1882, Tesla discovered the rotating magnetic field, a fundamental principle in physics and the basis of nearly all devices that use alternating current. Tesla brilliantly adapted the principle of rotating magnetic field for the construction of alternating current induction motor and the polyphase system for the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical power.
Tesla’s A.C. induction motor is widely used throughout the world in industry and household appliances. It started the industrial revolution at the turn of the century. Electricity today is generated transmitted and converted to mechanical power by means of his inventions. Tesla’s greatest achievement is his polyphase alternating current system, which is today lighting the entire globe.
Tesla astonished the world by demonstrating. the wonders of alternating current electricity at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Alternating current became standard power in the 20th Century. This accomplishment changed the world. He designed the first hydroelectric powerplant in Niagara Falls in 1895, which was the final victory of alternating current. The achievement was covered widely in the world press, and Tesla was praised as a hero world wide. King Nikola of Montenegro conferred upon him the Order of Danilo.
Tesla was a pioneer in many fields. The Tesla coil, which he invented in 1891, is widely used today in radio and television sets and other electronic equipment. That year also marked the date of Tesla’s United States citizenship. His alternating current induction motor is considered one of the ten greatest discoveries of all time. Among his discoveries are the fluorescent light , laser beam, wireless communications, wireless transmission of electrical energy, remote control, robotics, Tesla’s turbines and vertical take off aircraft. Tesla is the father of the radio and the modern electrical transmissions systems. He registered over 700 patents worldwide. His vision included exploration of solar energy and the power of the sea. He foresaw interplanetary communications and satellites.
The Century Magazine published Tesla’s principles of telegraphy without wires, popularizing scientific lectures given before Franklin Institute in February 1893.
The Electrical Review in 1896 published X-rays of a man, made by Tesla, with X-ray tubes of his own design. They appeared at the same time as when Roentgen announced his discovery of X-rays. Tesla never attempted to proclaim priority. Roentgen congratulated Tesla on his sophisticated X-ray pictures, and Tesla even wrote Roentgen’s name on one of his films. He experimented with shadowgraphs similar to those that later were to be used by Wilhelm Rontgen when he discovered X-rays in 1895. Tesla’s countless experiments included work on a carbon button lamp, on the power of electrical resonance, and on various types of lightning. Tesla invented the special vacuum tube which emitted light to be used in photography.
The breadth of his inventions is demonstrated by his patents for a bladeless steam turbine based on a spiral flow principle. Tesla also patented a pump design to operate at extremely high temperature.
Nikola Tesla patented the basic system of radio in 1896. His published schematic diagrams describing all the basic elements of the radio transmitter which was later used by Marconi.
In 1896 Tesla constructed an instrument to receive radio waves. He experimented with this device and transmitted radio waves from his laboratory on South 5th Avenue. to the Gerlach Hotel at 27th Street in Manhattan. The device had a magnet which gave off intense magnetic fields up to 20,000 lines per centimeter. The radio device clearly establishes his piority in the discovery of radio.
The shipboard quench-spark transmitter produced by the Lowenstein Radio Company and licensed under Nikola Tesla Company patents, was installed on the U.S. Naval vessels prior to World War I.
In December 1901, Marconi established wireless communication between Britain and the Newfoundland, Canada, earning him the Nobel prize in 1909. But much of Marconi’s work was not original. In 1864, James Maxwell theorized electromagnetic waves. In 1887, Heinrich Hertz proved Maxwell’s theories. Later, Sir Oliver Logde extended the Hertz prototype system. The Brandley coherer increased the distance messages could be transmitted. The coherer was perfected by Marconi.
However, the heart of radio transmission is based upon four tuned circuits for transmitting and receiving. It is Tesla’s original concept demonstrated in his famous lecture at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1893. The four circuits, used in two pairs, are still a fundamental part of all radio and television equipment.
The United States Supreme Court, in 1943 held Marconi’s most important patent invalid, recognizing Tesla’s more significant contribution as the inventor of radio technology.
Tesla built an experimental station in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1899, to experiment with high voltage, high frequency electricity and other phenomena.
When the Colorado Springs Tesla Coil magnifying transmitter was energized, it created sparks 30 feet long. From the outside antenna, these sparks could be seen from a distance of ten miles. From this laboratory, Tesla generated and sent out wireless waves which mediated energy, without wires for miles.
In Colorado Springs, where he stayed from May 1899 until 1900, Tesla made what he regarded as his most important discovery– terrestrial stationary waves. By this discovery he proved that the Earth could be used as a conductor and would be as responsive as a tuning fork to electrical vibrations of a certain frequency. He also lighted 200 lamps without wires from a distance of 25 miles( 40 kilometers) and created man-made lightning. At one time he was certain he had received signals from another planet in his Colorado laboratory, a claim that was met with disbelief in some scientific journals.
The old Waldorf Astoria was the residence of Nikola Tesla for many years. He lived there when he was at the height of financial and intellectual power. Tesla organized elaborate dinners, inviting famous people who later witnessed spectacular electrical experiments in his laboratory.
Financially supported by J. Pierpont Morgan, Tesla built the Wardenclyffe laboratory and its famous transmitting tower in Shoreham, Long Island between 1901 and 1905. This huge landmark was 187 feet high, capped by a 68-foot copper dome which housed the magnifying transmitter. It was planned to be the first broadcast system, transmitting both signals and power without wires to any point on the globe. The huge magnifying transmitter, discharging high frequency electricity, would turn the earth into a gigantic dynamo which would project its electricity in unlimited amounts anywhere in the world.
Tesla’s concept of wireless electricity was used to power ocean liners, destroy warships, run industry and transportation and send communications instantaneously all over the globe. To stimulate the public’s imagination, Tesla suggested that this wireless power could even be used for interplanetary communication. If Tesla were confident to reach Mars, how much less difficult to reach Paris. Many newspapers and periodicals interviewed Tesla and described his new system for supplying wireless power to run all of the earth’s industry.
Because of a dispute between Morgan and Tesla as to the final use of the tower. Morgan withdrew his funds. The financier’s classic comment was, “If anyone can draw on the power, where do we put the meter?”
The erected, but incomplete tower was demolished in 1917 for wartime security reasons. The site where the Wardenclyffe tower stood still exists with its 100 feet deep foundation still intact. Tesla’s laboratory designed by Stanford White in 1901 is today still in good condition and is graced with a bicentennial plaque.
Tesla lectured to the scientific community on his inventions in New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis and before scientific organizations in both England and France in 1892. Tesla’s lectures and writings of the 1890s aroused wide admiration among contemporaries popularized his inventions and inspired untold numbers of younger men to enter the new field of radio and electrical science.
Nikola Tesla was one of the most celebrated personalities in the American press, in this century. According to Life Magazine’s special issue of September, 1997, Tesla is among the 100 most famous people of the last 1,000 years. He is one of the great men who divert the stream of human history. Tesla’s celebrity was in its height at the turn of the century. His discoveries, inventions and vision had widespread acceptance by the public, the scientific community and American press. Tesla’s discoveries had extensive coverage in the scientific journals, the daily and weekly press as well as in the foremost literary and intellectual publications of the day. He was the Super Star.
Tesla wrote many autobiographical articles for the prominent journal Electrical Experimenter, collected in the book, My Inventions. Tesla was gifted with intense powers of visualization and exceptional memory from early youth on. He was able to fully construct, develop and perfect his inventions completely in his mind before committing them to paper.
According to Hugo Gernsback, Tesla was possessed of a striking physical appearance over six feet tall with deep set eyes and a stately manner. His impressions of Tesla, were of a man endowed with remarkable physical and mental freshness, ready to surprise the world with more and more inventions as he grew older. A lifelong bachelor he led a somewhat isolated existence, devoting his full energies to science.
In 1894, he was given honorary doctoral degrees by Columbia and Yale University and the Elliot Cresson medal by the Franklin Institute. In 1934, the city of Philadelphia awarded him the John Scott medal for his polyphase power system. He was an honorary member of the National Electric Light Association and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. On one occasion, he turned down an invitation from Kaiser Wilhelm II to come to Germany to demonstrate his experiments and to receive a high decoration.
In 1915, a New York Times article announced that Tesla and Edison were to share the Nobel Prize for physics. Oddly, neither man received the prize, the reason being unclear. It was rumored that Tesla refused the prize because he would not share with Edison, and because Marconi had already received his.
Tesla died on January 7th, 1943 in the Hotel New Yorker, where he had lived for the last ten years of his life. Room 3327 on the 33rd floor is the two-room suites he occupied.
A state funeral was held at St. John the Divine Cathedral in New York City. Telegrams of condolence were received from many notables, including the first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Vice President Wallace. Over 2000 people attended, including several Nobel Laureates. He was cremated in Ardsley on the Hudson, New York. His ashes were interned in a golden sphere, Tesla’s favorite shape, on permanent display at the Tesla Museum in Belgrade along with his death mask.
In his speech presenting Tesla with the Edison medal, Vice President Behrend of the Institute of Electrical Engineers eloquently expressed the following: “Were we to seize and eliminate from our industrial world the result of Mr. Tesla’s work, the wheels of industry would cease to turn, our electric cars and trains would stop, our towns would be dark and our mills would be idle and dead. His name marks an epoch in the advance of electrical science.” Mr. Behrend ended his speech with a paraphrase of Pope’s lines on Newton: “Nature and nature’s laws lay hid by night. God said ‘Let Tesla be’ and all was light.”

With a bachelor’s degree in the Philosophy of World religions, Richard went on to earn his Masters of Divinity at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, California,in 1970, and was ordained as a Lutheran pastor a year later. Hooper’s education took place during the politically radical 1960s, and in the most radical city in America: Berkeley, California. Both his seminary education, the events that took place during the 60s radicalized Hooper both politically and spiritually. He was the Lutheran Church’s single minister to the “counter culture” on the Monterey Peninsula during the 1970s, and looked the part: long hair, bare feet, beads and bells.
By the end of the 1970s, Hooper left the ministry and the Church itself and renewed his interest in mysticism and Eastern philosophy. After studying with a Hindu guru, he went on to produce more than a thousand radio broadcasts, in which he interviewed numerous spiritual teachers and authors such as Ram Dass, Richard Bach, Timothy Leary and Elizabeth Kubler. During the 1980s, Hooper became a nature recordist, music producer and founder of an independent record label: World Disc Productions, during which time he produced more than seventy music and nature recordings and, along with his wife, Sharon, pioneered the sales of such recordings in the gift industry. After selling World Disc during the early ’90s, Hooper opened and ran a Native American art gallery on San Juan Island in the Pacific Northwest. Hooper, himself, became an artist some years later, specializing in miniature Asian landscapes and both Christian and Asian shrines. After moving to Sedona, Arizona, Hooper finally pursued his greatest passion: writing.

Benoit Mandelbrot, whose pioneering work on fractal geometry made him one of the few modern mathematicians to approach widespread fame, died October 14 at the age of 85.
Mandelbrot coined the term “fractal” in 1975 to describe irregular shapes in nature and in mathematics that exhibit self-similarity—like snowflakes or Romanesco broccoli, they look roughly the same at varying scales. The so-called Mandelbrot set, a plot of complex numbers whose boundary forms a fractal, provided perhaps the most visually entrancing embodiment of the concept.
In books such as The Fractal Geometry of Nature (1982) and The (Mis)behavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin, and Reward (2004), Mandelbrot made the case that fractals could help make sense of everything from the shape of coastlines to the performance of Wall Street.
Born November 20, 1924, to a Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland, Mandelbrot moved with his family to France in 1936 to escape their homeland, which was soon to be invaded by Nazi Germany. Mandelbrot was educated in France and the U.S. and spent much of his professional life in the States, including a long stint at IBM as a staff scientist and research fellow. In 1987 he began teaching at Yale University; at the time of his death he was an emeritus professor of mathematics there.
Mandelbrot’s work on fractals brought popular acclaim, inspiring a countless number of psychedelic posters and screen savers, but it also earned him a great deal of professional respect. He was awarded honorary degrees from more than a dozen institutions and in 1987 was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences. In 1993 Mandelbrot won the Wolf Prize in Physics, and he shared the 2003 Japan Prize with chaos theory pioneer James Yorke of the University of Maryland.

Walter and Lao Russell saw the flaw in modern education: it trains memory over imagination, repetition over inspiration, and sense-thinking over inner knowing. In a world shaped by materialism, they challenged the system that produces mechanical minds for industrial roles—rather than nurturing the divine genius innate in every human being.
At the heart of their philosophy is a radical shift: Man is not a body with a mind; he is a Mind with a body. Every child carries within them the seed of genius, a direct connection to the cosmic Light—the universal source of inspiration, knowledge, and creativity. Yet most remain unaware of this divine inheritance, conditioned instead to value external achievement over inner awakening.
True education, they taught, is not about stuffing the brain with facts, but about unfolding the Light within. It is the self-education of the soul, awakening intuition, creativity, balance, and spiritual awareness through communion with the Source. Their university was designed to guide individuals toward this discovery—to think inwardly, to receive ideas cosmically, and to live as co-creators with God.
They emphasized that genius is not rare, but rarely nurtured. Geniuses are those who turn inward toward the divine Light and bring forth immortal creations. In contrast, conventional education molds the masses to imitate rather than innovate, producing temporary echoes rather than enduring contributions.
Cosmic consciousness, the goal of their teachings, is humanity’s next evolutionary leap. Through it, man becomes illumined—aware of his purpose, balanced in mate-hood, and unified with universal law. The Russells’ university was built as a beacon in an age sliding toward a spiritual Dark Age. It aimed to rekindle soul-culture, restore the feminine principle of love and life alongside the masculine force of action, and bring civilization into balance with Nature’s laws.
Their work is a blueprint for the future—not just of education, but of humanity. It is a call to awaken the divine spark within, to live by a higher law, and to co-create a renaissance of consciousness where beauty, righteousness, and inner knowing become the true standards of civilization.
Explore Ancient Mysteries and the Modern Scientific Discoveries of water
Welcome to a journey beyond the ordinary, an immersion into the boundless matrix of water, where science and mysticism merge to reveal the mysteries of life. Here, water is not merely a substance, but a living medium—a messenger between worlds, an artist shaping forms, a symphony of vibrations connecting every facet of creation. This journey beckons you to witness water’s role as the conductor of cosmic patterns, the architect of nature’s profound harmony, and the silent keeper of ancient memory.
As we delve into this realm, water’s fluid grace unveils its intricate design. In crystalline lattice structures and whirling vortexes, water weaves the language of sacred geometry, channeling life’s energies and balancing opposites. From its primal resonance in ancient oceans to its transformative power in cells and currents, water’s alchemical essence is alive, disassociating impurities, cleansing, and renewing. Like a cosmic dance, each wave, drop, and ripple reflects an elegant rhythm, a universal harmony in which life’s mysteries are encoded.
In water, we find the story of our own existence. We see how each molecule, from the smallest rivulet to the mightiest river, mirrors the same patterns that shape our very cells. This is the living matrix through which life flows, where words resonate and thoughts imprint. And just as water sustains the land, so it holds our collective memories, responding to light, sound, and energy in a timeless symphony that is as ancient as it is alive.
Prepare to traverse both scientific landscapes and mystical depths as we explore water’s role as the bridge between the seen and unseen. Here, where science reveals its most profound insights and mysticism uncovers its deepest wisdom, we encounter water as a universal architect—a form that flows yet holds, that dissolves yet creates, a conductor of coherence, guiding us through life’s unfolding mysteries.
This journey invites you to listen to the song of water, to see it as the quiet historian and vibrational artist that connects every wave of being. Step into the depths of this remarkable matrix, where the forces of creation whisper and the mysteries of the universe come alive, awaiting your discovery in each drop.
“Water flows not only to join rivers and seas but to bridge worlds seen and unseen, carrying life’s whispers between shores.”
A Personal Invitation to the Wonders of Waterfrom author, Karen Elkins
Over the past 15 years and countless issues of Science to Sage magazine, I’ve had the privilege of meeting some of the most fascinating explorers, scientists, and visionaries. Each has offered me glimpses into the unseen world—a dimension of water that transcends our everyday understanding, beckoning us to explore its mysteries.
This book is an invitation into uncommon knowledge and hidden realms, where science and wisdom converge to reveal the elegance of creation. Here, we catch sight of the divine plan intricately woven into every molecule. Water is far more than an element; it is the conductor of life’s symphony, a fluid storyteller reflecting nature’s grand design and our own unique role within it. Through these pages, I invite you to journey into discoveries that illuminate water’s profound connection to our existence and to creation itself.
Water is not just a vessel; it resonates, holds memory, and responds to every vibration, shaping itself to the energy it encounters. In this way, we each carry an ocean within us—a personal water chamber, alive with resonance and reflection. By embracing this understanding, we step closer to realizing the harmony between science and spirit, uncovering the essence of free will, choice, and creation.
This journey also calls us to become better stewards of our planet and to honor our interconnectedness with all life.
May these explorations awaken wonder and inspire awe as we dive into the mysteries water so generously reveals—flowing as a bridge between the known and the unknown, the tangible and the divine.

Through the contribution of over 60 innovative thinkers, scientists, and artists a compelling tapestry that threads leading edge science with ancient wisdom is unveiled. Within this weave you will see all branches of science and wisdom of sages leading to an understanding of the elemen- tal forces behind creation: water, fire, air, earth/ liquids, plasma, gas, solids. Further examination reveals the Weaver’s golden thread and its for- mula that owers Life from atoms to galaxies — micro to macro, space to earth.
The “law of triangle” in its many forms from magnetic currents, the structure of elements, platonic solids and fractals, to the distribution of particles will be illustrated. Though the lens of the telescope, microscope and Cymascope we will see rarely seen images of water, atoms and sound. Via a super computer you will see points of light and how life is formulated from a harmonic grid. Also you also explore the notion of evolution through harmonics and vibration. This takes us down the rabbit hole to our cosmic con- nection and our holographic universe.
By unraveling these mysteries, you will appreciate that we all come from the same Weave, the same Force. This is the common thread that ties us together in the endless extraordinary diversity of the Creator’s Web.
PRESENTATION: MAN, MACHINE AND THE LIVING MATRIX – Everything is made of the same stuff…so is there an exchange at every level? If everything is a field of information, then how does it inform? If everything vibrates then through what? What ethereal medium do most glance over? What is the primordial soup of creation? What is the foundation, and the entanglement – macro to macro. How did Tesla come up with the wireless network? Where do those ah h moments, and ideas come from? Which greats were electrified? Water is one of the key elements and like all is it fundMENTAL and eleMENTAL. See water images only seen in Science to Sage Magazine, and some never seen before. Explore in new ways. This presentation is EXTREME on visuals.

Dr. Michael Beckwith s life is a living testament to building spiritual community. In the 1970 s he began an inward journey into the teachings of East and West, and today teaches universal truth principles found in the New Thought-Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality.
Gifted with a vision of a trans-denominational spiritual community, in 1986 he founded the Agape International Spiritual Center upon his faith in that original vision. In a personal letter to him Coretta Scott King wrote, “I greatly admire what you are doing to bring about the Beloved Community, which is certainly what my dear husband worked for and ultimately gave his life.” Recently described in the “What Is Enlightenment?” magazine as a non-aligned trans-religious progressive, Dr. Beckwith shares his powerful conviction of creating the Beloved Community through his participation on international panels with other peacemakers and spiritual leaders including Dr. T. Ariyarante of Sri Lanka, and Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi.
He is co-founder of the Association for Global Thought, an organization dedicated to planetary healing and transformation. Dr. Beckwith is the originator of the Life Visioning Process, which he teaches throughout the country along with meditation, scientific prayer, and the spiritual benefits of selfless service. He facilitates retreats, workshops and seminars. His books include: Inspirations of the Heart, Forty Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, and A Manifesto of Peace.
Dr. Beckwith s achievement as a humanitarian and emissary of peace have been widely acclaimed. In 2003, his activities were enumerated when he was written into the Congressional Record of the 107th congress. He is the recipient of numerous humanitarian awards, some of which include: The 2004 Africa Peace Award, Thomas Kilgore Prophetic Witness Award, Howard Thurman Stained Glass Window Award by Morehouse College, a commissioned oil portrait for Morehouse s prestigious Hall of preachers, and the Humanitarian Award of the National Conference for Compassion and Justice.
Thousands gather weekly to receive inspiration from Dr. Beckwith at the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, California. Together, Drs. Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byars Beckwith have written lyrics and music performed by the Agape International Choir in concert venues worldwide. Always in demand, their performances inspire peace and goodwill in the global community. They share their lives with their four adult children and six grandchildren.
Michael Beckwith was my spiritual teacher for 12 years when I lived in LA. What a gift. – Karen Elkins

Karl Herrmann is widely recognized for his imagery, both in motion picture cinematography and still photography. He has created memorable images from the Himalayas of Nepal to the Andes of Argentina and from the plains of Africa to the jungles of the Amazon.
He has lent his wide ranging visual skills to such Hollywood blockbuster movies as “E.T.”, “The Right Stuff” and “I, ROBOT”, to mention but a few. In television, he was the creative visual inspiration to such hit shows as “Touched by an Angel” and “Dawson’s Creek”. Karl’s silver gelatin black & white landscape photography is represented in museums, galleries and private collections throughout North America.
But it is here and now that we see the genesis of a new vision Karl is developing. He has combined his world-class skills as a cinematographer with his love of the natural world to create movie-like windows into his visionary world. And, like the silver screen format he is so used to, these landscape images can be made quite large. Karl uses a digital process to produce this color work, yet he strictly adhere to the original vision provided by nature. No digital ‘tricks’ are utilized in any of these images.
Karl makes his home in Vancouver, Canada.
Karl has taken photos of many of Science to Sage events and was instrumental in the development of Silbury Education and Resource Centre. With great appreciation – Karen Elkins

Patricia Taylor is Vancouver’s local underground adventurer and creator of the popular and internationally acknowledged Monthly Adventure website.
After graduating with two degrees in science, she formed an environmental consultant business and worked as a Project Manager on a multi-million dollar program. During this time, she researched human interest stories for several documentary films – one of which was selected for the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival (Eddibu).
While these experiences laid the foundation for her continuing quest to understand the world we live in, personal tragedy struck and lead Patricia to do the unthinkable – she walked away from a successful career. Taking her life in an entirely new direction, Patricia committed to exploring provocative subjects by having one adventure, once a month, for the rest of her life.
With a quest for knowledge and a thirst for adventure, Patricia opened her eyes to over 40 unique experiences, each one a journey beyond her wildest dreams. From the physical to the psychological, she trained as a psychic spy, donated her body for scientific exploration, received her skipper’s certification, participated in a First Nations sweat lodge ceremony, became a hypnotherapist, studied the ancient Chinese art of face reading, and learned how to hunt ghosts – just to name a few.

Since the inception of the Monthly Adventure website in December 2010, thousands of visitors from across the world bear witness to her unforgettable journeys and compelling stories. With only a quarter of her exploits written to date, her mission is to inspire others to break free from the conventional. Patricia is living proof that sometimes life is an unexpected adventure just waiting to happen.
Cheryl Lee Harnish was exposed to the world of metaphysics at a very early age. Her father was infatuated with the paranormal and ESP. It was a natural event to sit around the kitchen table with her siblings playing spoon-bending or guessing the suit of a card. The fun of play quickly left when it became more of a show of ability. The pressure of having to “perform” was overwhelming. She would put that part of her life far behind her until many years later.
After undergoing many sessions of hypnotherapy for depression, Cheryl’s intuitive abilities spontaneously re-opened to her after a particular session where she had a profound and life changing experience. During this particular session she found herself in the presence of Archangels. Her understanding of herself and her gifts would be forever changed.

Thomas Barquee was brought up in a Protestant family and attended church frequently, drawn in large part to the sacred music, especially that of J.S. Bach. As a young child, he was also exposed to Beethoven and the Romantic composers, beginning his own study of classical piano and composition at age nine with an internationally renowned teacher in Hamburg, Germany.
In his mid-20s, Barquee was a busy recording session musician, toured internationally with his own bands, had a five year publishing deal with Warner Brothers, had a record deal with EMI Japan, and was well on his way to European/Asian pop stardom. But somewhere along the line the world of pop stardom ended up feeling empty to Barquee.
In search of new inspiration Barquee moved to Los Angeles in 1992, reinstating his dormant Kundalini Yoga practice (he had become a practitioner in India more than a decade earlier), and shifting his musical perspective to one more spiritually oriented.
He now records and performs his own style of sacred music, as well as producing many other artists. He was the producer, engineer and programmer for Game of Chants, as well as playing both keyboards and bass.

Ashana
Weaving together soaring, angelic vocals and the celestial sound of crystal singing bowls, Ashana’s music is an exquisitely crafted, luminous sonic tapestry that soothes and opens the heart, enfolding the listener in a transcendent experience of the Divine. This stunningly beautiful alchemy has been hailed by listeners all over the world as “breathtaking” and “a Gift from Heaven.”
Ashana’s CD recordings, “All Is Forgiven,” “Jewels of Silence,” and the newly released “Beloved”, co-written and produced by renowned world music artist Thomas Barquee (Snatam Kaur, Seal), are filled with sensitive and profoundly healing renderings of sacred song, chant and mantra inspired by the world’s traditions. Her intuitive vocal improvisations and crystal bowl playing are featured in the documentary film “The Sound You Feel: Vibrations of Healing,” released by Beyond Words, and have received international acclaim for their sensitivity, depth and beauty. Ashana’s live performances have been called “powerful” and “deeply transformative” and she travels across the US, Canada and abroad, offering concerts and sound healing workshops
Classically trained, Ashana graduated with a degree in vocal studies from the Mannes College of Music in New York City, and for years performed as soloist and ensemble member in New York’s early music scene. Moving from ancient to contemporary, she immersed herself in theater, jazz, pop and children’s music as performer, recording artist, songwriter and teacher.
For the last decade, she has been involved in a deeply personal exploration of sound healing and vocal toning, during which period she discovered and began playing quartz crystal singing bowls, instruments that are often used in contemplative practices to support healing, balance and well-being.
“For me, singing is a life path, a spiritual journey that has led to the very core of my being,” says Ashana. “Music can transport us, lift us to the place where we gently let go and open completely to receive and remember the divine heart that lives within each one of us, that truly lives in all beings. I have seen, felt and been utterly transformed by the power of sound and music to heal; it is a gift to us from the Source of Love – it is total, pure Grace.”

Denise Hagan is a sacred and inspirational performer dedicated to opening the heart of humankind through sound, story and song.
In her late twenties, a severe health condition called Denise to search deep inside herself in way she had never done before. Facing something that the world might call incurable, once again her music became that vehicle for healing and releasing the deep physical pain that she was in. At this huge crossroads, it became obvious to Denise that it was time to write more openly about her long time faith in the divine source of all life.
‘For those who hear…’ is the album that beautifully reveals Denise’s inner world at that time (2006). It seems to give voice to the inner listening of this young woman in a way that most writers would never reveal. It is a delicate and astute observation of her relationship with the divine source of all creation.
“I wrote this album to save my life, I cannot say it more plainly than that. I wrote these songs to comfort my aching heart and to give myself hope for a better day. I was smart enough to know that what was going on inside me was a matter between God and I – I wasn’t expecting a hero outside of me to arrive.”
“I recognized that I was the voice that would determine my survival in this world. I knew that the message I gave myself would either take my life or restore my life – the options were clear to me.”

Stefan Mitchell is emerging as the vocal artist of awakening consciousness on the planet. His rich, multi-dimensional vocal style, poignant lyrical tapestries and captivating stage performance give listeners the soul searing depth of a longed for spiritual connection. From the power that moves through his performances to his wry sense of humor, Stefan lives his belief that we are all made of one spirit. He feels that the deeper the recognition of that single spirit in our self and others, the better the planet will heal.
Stefan’s purpose in this work is to heal the planet one song at a time. It’s happening now. Stefan has been a presenter for spiritual organizations and metaphysical conferences throughout the U.S., Mexico and Canada. He has performed in New Zealand, the UK, Australia and Japan and shared the stage with internationally known personalities such as Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Jean Houston and Dr. Jane Goodall. All over the world, people wonder how Stefan can make the tension between the deep spiritual reach of his songs and the playful, light-hearted way he approaches life resolve. Every concert receives a standing ovation. Or two. Or three! He humbly responds that it is just the very real way our Creator has manifested talent THROUGH a spiritual being having a delightfully physical experience here on earth.
Ten of these spiritually rich and reflective songs are on the CD, From Within, released in 2005. Stefan’s first original song is the title track. Perfect Mystery came next in 2006. Its upbeat pop/rock feel enhances the messages of hope and resolution of the human condition in a different way. Five original songs are the true substance of this work including Lean into Me, a One Vibration Radio favorite. That song plus The Other Side of Letting Go and Remember to Breathe all made Boadjam.com’s top ten songs.

Over the last 10 years, Dr. Dispenza has lectured in over 17 different countries on six continents educating people about the role and function of the human brain. He has taught thousands of people how to re-program their thinking through scientifically proven neuro-physiologic principles. As a result, this information has taught many individuals to reach their specific goals and visions by eliminating self-destructive habits. His approach, taught in a very simple method, creates a bridge between true human potential and the latest scientific theories of neuroplasticity. He explains how thinking in new ways, as well as changing beliefs, can literally rewire one’s brain. The premise of his work is founded in his total conviction that every person on this planet has within them, the latent potential of greatness and true unlimited abilities.
His new book, Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind connects the subjects of thought and consciousness with the brain, the mind, and the body. The book explores “the biology of change.” That is, when we truly change our mind, there is a physical evidence of change in the brain. As an author of several scientific articles on the close relationship between the brain and the body, Dr. Dispenza ties information together to explain the roles these functions play in physical health and disease. His DVD series, Your Immortal Brain, looks at the ways in which the human brain can be used to affect reality through the mastery of thought. He also sits as an invited editorial advisor of Explore Magazine.
In his research into spontaneous remissions, Dr. Dispenza has found similarities in people who have experienced so-called miraculous healings, showing that they have actually changed their mind, which then changed their health.
One of the scientists, researchers, and teachers featured in the award winning film, “What the BLEEP Do We Know!?” Dr. Dispenza is often remembered for his comments on how a person can create their day, which he discussed in the film. He also has guest appearances in the theatrical directors cut, “What the BLEEP Down the Rabbit Hole”; as well as the extended Quantum Edition DVD set,“What the BLEEP Down the Rabbit Hole”.When not traveling and writing, he is busy seeing patients at his chiropractic clinic near Olympia, Washington.

Why you keep coming back for more from hurtful family members, friends, or significant others? Why you keep falling into the same detrimental habits or limiting attitudes—even when you know that they are going to make you feel bad? Dr. Joe Dispenza has spent decades studying the human mind—how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!? he began to explain how the brain evolves—by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche. Evolve Your Brain presents this information in depth, while helping you take control of your mind, explaining how thoughts can create chemical reactions that keep you addicted to patterns and feelings—including ones that make you unhappy. And when you know how these bad habits are created, it’s possible to not only break these patterns, but also reprogram and evolve your brain, so that new, positive, and beneficial habits can take over.[/author_info] [/author]
Michael Tellinger has become one of South Africa’s bestselling export authors. His regular articles on human origins and his book Slave Species of god have been praised by readers in over 20 countries.
Michael is a scientist in the true sense of the word, never shying away from controversial issues, scrutinising every clue meticulously. He graduated in 1983 from the University Of Witwatersrand Medical School, Johannesburg, with a B.Pharmaceutics degree, a passion for the cosmos, genetics and human history.
His research and astute understanding of his subject matter has made him a regular guest on many radio shows in the USA and UK with popular hosts like George Noory on Coast to Coast; Kevin Smith, Hillary Raimo, American Freedom Radio, Howard Hughes in the UK; the Camelot Project, and more.
Before applying his writing and research skills to books, Michael followed his other passion, for music. He spent much of his early years in the arts performing on stage and screen. As part of the duo “Stirling & Tellinger” he had several music hits in South Africa. In 1986, he worked in Los Angeles for Cannon Films as a sound designer and editor; and wrote and recorded the controversial anti-apartheid song “We come from Johannesburg”, which was banned under the previous regime. His latest contribution to the arts was a song called “Side By Side With Angels”, for the TSUNAMI disaster fund in 2005, which featured a number of top SA artists. He has written a number of screenplays, children’s educational books and TV shows.
As a producer he created a variety of TV shows and worked as a presenter on numerous others. As a writer in advertising in 1989, he received a Clio award in New York and in 2000 he presented his own weekly show on 567 Cape Talk radio in Cape Town, exploring technology, science and astronomy.
After a 30-year long obsession with the origins of humankind and the genetic anomalies of our species, he took some time out to write Slave Species of god, which became an instant bestseller in South Africa. When Johan Heine exposed the mystery of the stone ruins of South Africa to Michael in 2007, they began an irreversible process of research that led Michael to some startling scientific conclusions and the completion of two more books, Adam’s Calendar and Temples Of The African Gods.
It is uncanny that Michael’s passion for music and his understanding of sound frequency, harmonic resonance and wave formation in scientific terms, has allowed him to make the astounding breakthrough in decoding the mystery of the ancient ruins and lost civilisations of southern Africa.

Scholars have told us that the first civilisation on Earth emerged in a land called Sumer some 6000 years ago. New archaeological and scientific discoveries made by Michael Tellinger, Johan Heine and a team of leading scientists, show that the Sumerians and even the Egyptians inherited all their knowledge from an earlier civilisation that lived at the southern tip of Africa more than 200,000 years ago…mining gold. These were also the people who carved the first Horus bird, the first Sphinx, built the first pyramids and built an accurate stone calendar right in the heart of it all. “Adam’s Calendar” is the flagship among millions of circular stone ruins, ancient roads, agricultural terraces and thousands of ancient mines, left behind by a vanished civilisation which we now call the First People. They carved detailed images into the hardest rock, worshipped the sun, and are the first to carve an image of the Egyptian Ankh – key of life and universal knowledge, 200,000 years before the Egyptians came to light. This book graphically exposes these discoveries and will be the catalyst for rewriting our ancient human history.

What we once believed is about to change! What would it mean to discover that the power to create joy, to heal suffering, and bring peace to nations lives inside of you? Are the miracles that we see in the quantum world actually showing us our greatest possibilities rather than our scientific limits Could the spontaneous healing of disease, an instant connection with everyone and everything, and even time travel, be our true heritage in the universe? Between 1993 and 2000, a series of groundbreaking experiments revealed dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world—the Divine Matrix. From the healing of our bodies, to the success of our careers, relationships, and the peace between nations, this new evidence demonstrates that we each hold the power to speak directly to the force that links all of creation. Join Gregg Braden on this extraordinary journey bridging science, spirituality and miracles through the Language of the Divine Matrix.[/author_info] [/author]

What does 2012 mean for us today? History shows that World Age cycles of the past have triggered cataclysmic shifts in the Earth that have altered entire civilizations in the past. Today, the predictions for 2012 and what follows, range from an era of chaos and destruction to a thousand of years of peace and cooperation. What can we really expect from such a rare moment in time? New discoveries suggest that the message of the ancient timekeepers, merged with the best science of today, holds the answer to the mystery and the key to our future. The Bottom Line: If you know where you are in a cycle, then you know what to expect when it repeats![/author_info] [/author]

Fact: Belief is a language that “speaks” to this matrix. Scientific evidence reveals that heart-based belief affects everything from the healing of our bodies to the atoms of our world. Is it possible that we’re born with the power to reverse disease, create peace and abundance, and even change reality itself? As we face the greatest challenges of human history, these new discoveries suggest that we’re about to find out![/author_info] [/author]

What we once believed of our past is about to change… A message has been found within the molecules of life; deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking ancient alphabets to the elements of life, our genetic code now reads as a text message of healing and peace! The code in our cells includes the ancient name of God, and offers concrete evidence that we are an intentional species, related to one another and life itself, in the most intimate way imaginable. In this compelling work, Gregg Braden will share the life-changing discovery that led him from a successful career in Aerospace and Defense, to an extensive12-year study of the most honored traditions of humankind.[/author_info] [/author]
