....investigating the Paranormal in Scotland

The last lecture given by Jude to the SSPR was entitled "You are the Cosmos." This was extremely well received and by popular request she returns to us. Dr Jude Currivan had her first experience of non-physical realms and discarnate presences when she was four years old. For over fifty years she has explored the multi-dimensional realities of the Cosmos - along the way communing with people who have passed over, angels, extra-terrestrials, elemental, devic and archetypal beings and ascended masters. As a scientist as well as a mystic she seeks validation and evidence for the guidance and information she has received. And as a healer she seeks to help and empower others through the wisdom gained in her own journey of self and cosmic discovery. Tonight Dr Jude will share some of her extraordinary experiences and amazing discoveries. Biography: Dr Jude Currivan PhD is a healer, cosmologist and internationally acclaimed author of The 8th Chakra, The 13th Step and CosMos, co-authored with Ervin Laszlo PhD. Her books are now available in 12 languages and over 25 countries. She has experienced multidimensional realities and guidance from early childhood, has a Masters Degree in quantum physics and cosmology and a PhD in archaeology researching ancient cosmologies. After many years as a high powered international business woman, her worldwide work now combines leading edge science, frontier research into consciousness and ancient and emerging spiritual wisdom to raise consciousness and empower others. Dr Jude has been named one of the five rising stars of the Mind Body Spirit movement by Kindred Spirit magazine and their readers have voted The 13th Step the best personal development book of 2007.

David Fontana is the author of more than 40 books that together have been translated into 26 languages. A former President of the Society for Psychical Research he is currently Vice President and also Chair of the Society’s Survival Research Committee. A Professor of Psychology and Fellow of the British Psychological Society, Dr. David Fontana’s interest in psychical research goes back 35 years, during which time he has made a particular study of life after death. His most recent book, Is There an Afterlife?, reviews the evidence for survival and details some of his own experiences, including investigations of poltergeist hauntings, research into the well-known Scole phenomena, and evidence gathered from numerous sittings with other physical and mental mediums. In his talk he will give examples of this evidence and emphasise the strength with which it points to the reality of survival. He will also describe some of the recent research into anomalous communications through electronic media, and touch on the nature of a possible afterlife (which forms the subject of his next book).

Beyond Photography by Katie Hall & John Pickering was the first book in the world to photographically document one couple’s personal encounters with orbs and other paranormal light phenomenon. Although neither Katie nor John were aware of it at the time, they had photographed some of the most astounding images ever taken of this phenomenon, many of which they will be sharing with us. John has this to say about their forth-coming presentation: "We had no preconceptions about this phenomenon, but since the publication of our book, a whole new world of "orbology" has mushroomed into being. Orbs have caught the imagination of people all over the world and thousands are now photographing these strange circles of light. Whatever we may think about them, orbs are an undeniable phenomenon! Essentially all experience of Reality is subjectively perceived and interpreted and this is particularly so in the case of paranormal phenomena. But if orbs really are paranormal, how is it possible to photograph them? What is the truth about orbs and other extraordinary light phenomenon now being photographed by all kinds of people with all kinds of cameras? Today there are all sorts of beliefs about orbs and in our presentation we shall be examining key questions concerning orbs, looking deeper into the nature of the phenomenon and giving a personal perspective as to what orbs, as part of an interconnected range of phenomena, mean to us as individuals."
