Manchester Exploring the Metaphysical

Consciousness

The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts' perspective of the planet and mankind's place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment. 'Overview' is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.

The Path: Beyond the Physical investigates topics about out-of-body experiences, multiple-dimensions, remote viewing and consciousness. The 93 minute film takes the audience through a journey of some of the first explorers of out-of-body experiences like Robert Monroe, to the once classified military mission of remote viewing, as well as educating the audience about tools they can use to enhance the out-of-body experiences. The Path Documentary Series will be showcasing the knowledge of many experts like the former President and Executive Director of the Monroe Institute in Faber, VA, a nonprofit educational and research organization dedicated to the exploration of human consciousness, leading out-of-body expert William Buhlman and a NASA nuclear physicist, noted lecturer and explorer of consciousness Thomas Campbell.

In Expanding Reality, we discover the new science of consciousness and the emergence of the postmaterialist paradigm. This paradigm is leading us to the next great scientific revolution. Interviews with visionary scientists from a variety of fields (physics, neuroscience, biology, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, psi research), gathered in Tucson, Arizona, to create the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, represent a central element of this movie.

Beyond Our Sight is an independent documentary about near-death experiences, human consciousness, and the possibility of communication with other dimensions.

Channeling

Tuning In: Angels and Aliens - During this turbulent time on the planet that some have dubbed The Great Shift, much helpful and inspiring channeling information is pouring forth. The number of channelers has grown exponentially in the past decade, wise dispatches arriving to help us traverse the sometimes shaky path. Lee Carroll (Kryaon), Darryl Anka (Bashar), Geoffrey Hoppe (Adamus), Tina Louise Spalding (Jesus), Christina Hill (Athella), Catherine Weer (One Life), and Rob Gauthier (Aridif) speak passionately and eloquently on many topics, including ascension, love, good and evil, the rise of Donald Trump, frequency and vibration, dimensions, and many other subjects.

Reincarnation/Past Lives

Ian Stevenson was a Canadian-born American psychiatrist, the founder and director of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He was a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine for fifty years. He was chair of their department of psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death in 2007.

Stevenson became known for his research into cases he considered suggestive of reincarnation – the idea that emotions, memories, and even physical bodily features can be passed on from one incarnation to another. In the course of his forty years doing international fieldwork, he researched three thousand cases of children who claimed to remember past lives. His position was that certain phobiasphilias, unusual abilities and illnesses could not be fully explained by genetics or the environment. He believed that, in addition to genetics and the environment, reincarnation might possibly provide a third, contributing factor. (from Wikipedia)

Past Life Memories - Interview with Jennie Cockell

Do we live more than once on earth? Does reincarnation exist? The story of Jenny Cockell from England is one of the most fascinating examples of past life memories, which have actually been confirmed. Speaking to "Thanatos TV" she tells us how she was able to find her children from a previous life, in which she had died as a young mother, and how she was able to exchange mutual memories with them. She also relates memories of other lives – and why her "search for trails of the past” has now come to an end.

Stuart Wilde - Last Big Interview

For decades, modern seekers have experimented and studied with many diverse teachers and religions, but Stuart Wilde says in that toward the end of a long spiritual journey we all seek the same thing: redemption. None of us is perfect, and yet through embracing that imperfection and reconciling it, we become a complete being—encompassing both the light and the dark. As Stuart says "It is when the ivory tower of the ego’s ideas falls that we can then embrace a new humility, allowing us to become ever more genuine, compassionate, and real."

Known as an urban mystic and modern visionary, charismatic author and lecturer Stuart Wilde wrote 18 books and created dozens of audio recordings (lectures and meditations) on consciousness and awareness. They have sold in the millions, with his books having been translated into 15 languages. Stuart had a very moving and humorous way in explaining even the most mysterious and challenging spiritual concepts. His books and audio recordings are filled with his brilliance and irreverence, imparting highly original information that is both self-empowering and transformational. Stuart's perceptive and quirky way of lecturing has won him an extensive following. Many of the great writers and teachers in the self-improvement genre studied with him as he travelled extensively around the globe.
