Dr David Hamilton The power of mind over matter - It's the thought that counts! Evening Talk to SSPR at the University of Glasgow Lecture took place on: Thursday 6th Sept 2007 | |
After obtaining a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Strathclyde University, David spent 3 years as a scientist in the pharmaceutical industry. Inspired by results of clinical trials where some patients recovered by taking placebos, David left the industry and began to research the effect of the mind on the body. This took him into researching the work of scientists, mystics, psychics, and healers and led to the publication of his first book, “It’s the Thought that Counts: The astounding evidence for the power of mind over matter” which appeared on some prominent bestseller lists around the UK. His second book, “Destiny vs Free Will” will be released in June 2007. David gives talks and holds workshops around the UK based upon his work. |  |

David Rousseau The Cryptic Poltergeist From Queens House in Lipton Evening Talk to SSPR at the University of Glasgow Lecture took place on: Thursday 2nd April 2009 | |
In 1971 there was a major poltergeist outbreak in the home of the Manning family. The phenomena were centred on Matthew Manning (then 16 years old), and it included a substantial amount of writing that appeared on the walls of Matthew’s bedroom when it was unattended. These writings included seven literary passages, the sources of which were unknown until recently. David has managed to trace them all, and from this discovered that the passages contained unsuspected hidden meanings. These are not only interesting in themselves but they reinforce the importance and the authenticity of the case.
David is a co-founder of the Centre for Anomalies Research (C-FAR) and the online Library of Exploration Science (Lexscien). He is a Council member of the SPR and chairman of their Research Activities Committee. His background is in electronic engineering, and before starting C-FAR he held a number of senior posts in the aerospace and semiconductor manufacturing industries. He is currently doing postgraduate research within the Philosophy Department of the University of Wales, Lampeter, developing a new model of the mind-body relationship suggested by certain paranormal experiences.

Dr Jude Currivan, Masters degree in quantum physics, PhD in Archaeology You ARE the Cosmos Evening Talk to SSPR at the University of Glasgow Lecture took place on: Thursday 2nd October 2008 | |
In these momentous times, a new vision of the Cosmos is emerging that is reconciling leading-edge science, pioneering research into consciousness and the perennial wisdom of all ages in a more profound and personally empowering way than ever before.
These latest discoveries are revealing that all that we term reality is essentially integral and that the whole-world may be described as a cosmic hologram.
This vision of a wholly inter-related and conscious Cosmos has revolutionary implications for every one of us, for it asks us to re-member that we are cosmic co-creators.
Jude’s talk will share the emerging vision of integral reality and how we are now able to directly access our highest co-creative potential through the portal of the universal heart.
Dr Jude Currivan PhD, author of The Wave, The 8 th Chakra and The 13 th Step, is a healer and scientist who works worldwide empowering others and facilitating wholeness on personal and collective levels. Her fourth book, co-authored with Ervin Laszlo CosMos – a co-creator’s guide to the whole-world is published August 2008 by Hay House.
