Psychic Medium John Holland Becomes a 'Psychic Time Machine' on the History Channel

Tune into the History Channel starting June 26, 2006 at 9:00pm EST/PST. In a new TV pilot called 'Psychic History', the psychic abilities of psychic medium and bestselling author, John Holland are put to the test as the show searches for answers to some of histories most puzzling mysteries.

(PRWEB) June 7, 2006
"Psychic History” is a pilot for a new series that will feature Holland using all his psychic abilities on some of the world's most confounding mysteries. This pilot episode focuses on the haunting story at Waco, Texas, where David Koresh’s religious sect of Branch Davidian’s took on the forces of the U.S. government.

In this dramatic episode, Holland was flown into the area totally blindfolded, without a clue to where he was going. He's filmed as he applies his special skills to resolving the lingering mysteries of Waco. The crucial unanswered question was: Who fired the first shot? Was it the Federal agents or one of the Branch Davidians? Also, were Koresh’s followers being held against their will?

Let the History Channel know what you think of the pilot. If they get enough positive feedback, we are more likely to see more of John Holland on the History Channel.

6-6-06 , Just Another Day or a Sign of the Apocalypse?

June 6, 2006 (6-6-06), or 666 to some, is upon us. Will 6-6-06 be just another day, or is the Apocalypse on our doorstep? Opinions vary.

BetUS.com, an online gaming site, has posted 10-1 odds that there WILL be an Apocalypse today.

BetUS.com Posts Odds On Whether or Not the Apocalypse Will Happen On 666
June 1, 2006, New York, NY – We are in the midst of the 2000 millennium and there have been both severe natural disasters and man-made wars. Could this be a sign that the Apocalypse, described by St. John in the last book of the New Testament, is just a week away? BetUS.com – a leading online gaming site, posted 10-1 odds that there will be an Apocalypse on 6-6-06. Read more >>

Hollywoood execs are hoping to make big bucks today.

As with most holidays, even tomorrow's devil of a date -- 6/6/06 -- has become commercialized.
Capitalizing on the once-in-a-lifetime Satanic sentiment in June, authors, filmmakers and even online bookies are hoping to cash in on Tuesday's hype. Read More>>

Some people are really nervous and superstitious about the number 666. I have heard discussion this past week from people who are unnerved if their purchase amount comes to $6.66. They will buy something extra to avoid that number. These same people would never live in a house that had the address 666.

The reality is that numbers don't have power over us. An Apocalypse
could happen on 6-6-06. But the numbers in a date don't cause events to happen.

Wishing you all the best on 6-6-06.

Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins

Twice a month I try to make a trip to Costco and Trader Joes, my two favorite places to stock up on the household necceseties and the relievers of chocolate cravings. Lately I have found that getting in and out of the Costco parking lot to be stress producing. Two stoplights away from the Costco parking lot is this guy next to me in the right turn only lane. The light turns green. He apparently realizes he doesn't want to be in the right turn only lane and speeds forward making a left turn as I am driving straight ahead in a lane where you can either turn left or drive straight. I'm feeling negative energy and more a than a little stressed right now.

Soon I make it to the Costco parking lot which can sometimes be a driving nightmare itself. Drivers in a hurry making erratic unexpected movements trying to get to the open spot first or drivers who bypass all the cars in the exit lane, speeding out through the entry lane are an accident waiting to happen.

I tell myself that I need to let go of the negative thoughts and stress from my negative driving experience or my whole day is going to be clouded with negative energy.


Along comes this book that is not so new, but new to me, Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins by Sandra Ingerman, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Mental Health Counselor and former Educational Director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

Book Description
From cross-cultural legends recounting shamanic cures to the biblical accounts of the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, many spiritual traditions are rich in stories about seemingly inexplicable transformations of the natural world. The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into "safe" substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism. And while many have tapped this body of work to heal the self, it has yet to be used to heal our environment.

For twenty years, Sandra Ingerman has studied alternative ways to reverse environmental pollution. In this book, Ingerman takes us on a remarkable journey through the history of transmutation, teaching us how we can use this forgotten technique to change ourselves and our environment. She provides us with creative visualizations, ceremonies, rituals, and chants derived from ancient healing practices that produce miraculous, scientifically proven results. In one dramatic illustration of what can be accomplished when consciousness and awareness fuel our actions, Ingerman describes her own success in transforming the nature of chemically polluted water.


"Imagine yourself sitting in a quiet place in nature, being still and silent inside yourself.

Breathe in the power of the universe.

Breathe out the power of the universe.

Breathe in the love of the divine.

Breathe in the love of the divine.

Breathe in the light of the Absolute.

Breathe out the light of the Absolute.

As you inspire the power, love, and light of the universe, you exhale

sharing love and light with all living beings. As you breathe, experience yourself

expanding into the external light of all life. You are not a seperate entity, you are
one with all that is.

Miracles For The Earth

Before I make my next trip to Costco, I will stop by Trader Joes and make sure I have a supply of chocolate handy. And I will practice my breathing meditations so that encountering crazy drivers doesn't contribute to personal toxins in my mind.
