June-July 1994, First Convocation of the Academy of Consciousness at Princeton University.... where my understanding of reality was permanently shattered.... I would like to express my immense gratitude to physicist extraordinaire, Dr. Hal Puthoff, for “shattering my reality” as I knew it, on a beautiful summer day, many years ago, and for the opportunity to be part of this experience as a result of the incredibly visionary ground breaking work of the Princeton Anomalous Engineering Laboratories Team. In addition, I wish to thank as well the Society of Scientific Exploration, and its founding fathers, and all those I have met along this path, without whom, I could not have gathered the proper “balanced scientific education” not found in the present ivory towers of academia, and still, to this day, nearly impossible to find.
Who was there leading the charge at the first Academy of Consciousness...?

August 17 to August 19th, 2007 7th Biennial European SSE Meeting Roros, Norway Local SSE in attendance http://www.scientificexploration.org EarthLights, Hessdalen, and Unexplained Phenomena followed by a Princeton Engineering Anomalies Laboratories meeting also in Roros.
May 31 - June 2, 2007, 26th Annual SSE Meeting, East Lansing, Michigan. Local SSE in attendance, http://www.scientificexploration.org
May 18th 2007, Friday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30 p.m. The Global Consciousness Project is an outgrowth of the seminal work done by the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab at Princeton University. Although the PEAR lab is closing its doors, the GCP continues to flourish...and continues to attract more and more mainstream media attention. To understand the GCP and what it tells us about the nature of the universe, we need to understand the mechanism at its hub: a tiny little instrument called the "MicroREG," a micro-sized Random Events Generator, sometimes called a Random Number Generator (RNG). At our May meeting, we will get to "play" with a MicroREG ourselves since Jan Louise Petersen has one! Several years ago, Jan submitted a research proposal to the PEAR lab to run a MicroREG during a weekly meditation class she facilitated in Washington, DC. After her proposal was accepted, she given a MicroREG and the necessary software to run it -- which she still has. Jan will give an informal presentation about how the MicroREG was used in the PEAR lab's work, how it's used in the Global Consciousness Project, and discuss some of the results from using it in her meditation class. After that, Ruth Monica Stedman will lead us in a meditation and we'll run the MicroREG. Then we can see afterwards what it recorded and how the results show up as a "walk" in a graph.
April 19th 2007, Thursday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30 p.m., we will have yet another very exciting evening! Dr. Joie Jones, Professor of Radiological Sciences, University of California, Irvine will share with us his investigations on Subtle Energy Medicine Using Medical Imaging & Laboratory Methods, specifically: Studies of Pranic Healing and Acupuncture. Brief Abstract: Medical imaging methods and conventional laboratory techniques provide unique tools for the quantitative evaluation of the healing process, even when brought about by non-conventional means. Here he will describe two seemingly disparate studies involving acupuncture and Pranic Healing, in which these methods are used as investigative tools. First, in the case of acupuncture, he will show (using functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI) that stimulation of specific vision related acupoints in the foot elicit increases in cortical blood flow in circumscribed regions of the visual cortex comparable in magnitude and brain location to those obtained by stimulation of the visual cortex by flashes of light. In the case of Pranic Healing, Dr. Jones will present a summary of his studies conducted over the past decade, in which healers were able to mediate the effects of gamma radiation on cells in culture. These findings are difficult to explain in terms of the standard scientific paradigm.
March 30th 2007, Friday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30 p.m. we have special guest which Jan has lined up for us: Dr. Daniel Sheehan, professor of physics at the University of San Diego will discuss findings from the recent AAAS symposium he convened, entitled "Frontiers of Time: Retrocausation Experiment and Theory." Dean Radin, Roger Nelson, York Dobyns, Garret Moddel, Richard Shoup, Dick Bierman, Avshalom Elitzur, and many other esteemed colleagues were among the presenters at this symposium.
February 8th 2007, Thursday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30 p.m., we will explore tarot cards, Dennie Gooding will share her experience and has suggested that if you have a set, please bring them. We will then follow with Dennie's proposed website on intentions... we will explore how we make our own intentions as well as how to empower our own intentions as a group entity.
January 11th, 2007, Nand Harjani did some tarot readings for the group. I took copious notes to record the results for checking later after the events are anticipated.
Southern California's Salon for Exploring Scientific Anomalies
Meetings support the work and mission of the Society for Scientific Exploration
The SSE is the premier generalist research society interested in scientific anomalies.
http://www.scientificexploration.org
Salon Meetings since May 2004
The SSE is a US-based global professional organization of scientists and scholars who rigorously study unusual and unexplained phenomena and provide a professional forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics which are for various reasons ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science. A secondary goal is to promote improved understanding of those factors that unnecessarily limit the scope of scientific inquiry, such as sociological constraints, restrictive world views, hidden theoretical assumptions, and the temptation to convert unusual findings into prevailing dogma. In addition, the SSE encourages "the crossing of traditional disciplinary boundaries, the challenging of established formalisms and values, and the integration of objective and subjective experiences in order to move human knowledge forward.."
The Southern California Group's goal is to ionize a local community with the joint focus of deepening one's sense of spiritual self-evolution, within the greater world paradigm shift. We address SSE type topics. Our Salon style meetings explore the mind-matter interactions, the nurturing of scientific exploration of anomalous phenomena, the investigations of subtle energies in the experience of consciousness, bioenergetics, and human potential. Our focus is to promote creativity and provide supportive dialog in order to nurture global healing through local action and direct personal experience. Past meeting topics are listed here below. You might want to start from the bottom of the page to get a chronological feel of our evolution.

2007
December 22sd, 2007, at 6:00 P.M in Santa Monica. Our host will be Diane de la Vega. In the spirit of the holiday season we will convene early at 6 pm to enjoy the Pot's Luck! Last month's topic on relationships is sure to be continued at this meeting! Padoum will continue to lead us into exploring the metaphysical nature of relationships, how we define relationships and how society does. Ava B will bring some interesting character questionnaires to share. We'll continue to look into the past life dimensional aspects to relationships as well. Coincidentally, I will be the same day, Dec 22sd having a meeting in Roma, Italia with our Italian SSE contingency. We will start planning for the Euro SSE conference 2009!!! Most likely in Tuscania!!
November 24th, 2007, at 6:30 P.M in Redondo Beach. The evening's topic will venture on relationships... and in keeping with the season... gratitude! Padoum will lead us into exploring the metaphysical nature of relationships. We'd like to discuss how we define relationships and how society does. Ava B will bring some interesting character questionnaires to share. We'll look into the past life dimensional aspects to relationships as well. With these webs constructed, we will plunge into the profound interpersonal nature of gratitude. There is very interesting psychological research underway on gratitude, here is an excerpt we might draw upon: Highlights from the Research Project on Gratitude and Thankfulness, Dimensions and Perspectives of Gratitude….Co-Investigators: Robert A. Emmons, University of California, Davis and Michael E. McCullough, University of Miami. Synopsis: Gratitude is the “forgotten factor” in happiness research. We are engaged in a long-term research project designed to create and disseminate a large body of novel scientific data on the nature of gratitude, its causes, and its potential consequences for human health and well-being. Scientists are latecomers to the concept of gratitude. Religions and philosophies have long embraced gratitude as an indispensable manifestation of virtue, and an integral component of health, wholeness, and well-being. Through conducting highly focused, cutting-edge studies on the nature of gratitude, its causes, and its consequences, we hope to shed important scientific light on this important concept. This document is intended to provide a brief, introductory overview of the major findings to date of the research project. For further information, please contact either of the project investigators. We are engaged in three main lines of inquiry at the present time: (1) developing methods to cultivate gratitude in daily life, (2) developing a measure to reliably assess individual differences in dispositional gratefulness and (3) designing experimental studies that enable us to distinguish the differential causes and consequences of gratitude and indebtedness.
October 27th, 2007, at 7:30 P.M in Redondo Beach. We have a very exciting meeting planned on psychometry. Psychometry is defined as: the hypothesized ability to obtain knowledge about an object, or about a person connected with it, through contact with the object. We'll be exploring this ability. Craig Cooper Caldwell will be sharing with us three well documented, and museum quality objects dated from 500BC to 300AD from his private collection. For those of you unable to attend the meeting, please feel free to do a "remote viewing" and email me your impressions, i.e., shapes and sizes of each of the three objects, colour, any decorative details, country of origin, etc.. and any other "impressions" you might capture. Please email responses no later than October 27th 7 pm so they may be processed and presented as part of the local group experience that evening. Those attending will be able to contact the objects and feel where it leads them.
September 29th, 2007 Saturday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30 p.m., please join us: Jan, Dianne, Sacha and I will be discussing our experiences at the 7th Biennial European SSE Meeting which was held August 17 to August 19th, 2007 Roros, Norway. There were so many exciting topics!!!!

December 11th 2006 , Monday, in Redondo Beach, 7:30pm . For an encore ... we barely got going in November... Dr. Eugene Carpenter will continue discussing the works of Alice Bailey and how they have impacted his life. We'll also take the opportunity to honour the Holiday Festivities!
November 6th, 2006, Monday, in Redondo Beach again, 7:30pm . Dr. Eugene Carpenter will be discussing the works of Alice Bailey and how they have impacted his life. Eugene writes: " The Alice Bailey books are a series of books that I have found useful in the understanding of the perennial philosophy. They are a systematic and thoughful presentation. They were presented to the West about forty years after the death of Madame Blavatsky's body in about 1890. They are in fact a yoga in the sense that they can help sincere thinkers yoke or re-tie themselves to life and the philosophy of life. They are a study of consciousness as opposed to relationships amongst material forms. They seem to exhibit a masterly display of the ability to organize and synthesize human experience so that consciousness of the physical, emotional and mental states can be, from time to time, for most of us, brought together into that formless intuitive buddhic state of consciousness that we commonly refer to as beauty/harmony and which represents the asthetic section of philosophy. "

November 12, 2009 Principals meeting - Jan, Nand and I reviewing our direction
October 23rd, 2009 8:00 P.M Note the new time, it has proved to be popular as it gives people more time to get here on a Friday night. Last month Ava B shared with us the movie SOMETHING UNKNOWN IS DOING WE DON’T KNOW WHAT which is about asking scientists about intuition and energy healing. We had some great discussions and we will continue those discussions at this meeting!!!! We do not have anything specific planned for this meeting - wild card! Please bring a mini topic to discuss with the group your Tarot cards, whatever moves you for the group... or if you would like to share a mini report on a good book on anomalous events that you have recently read, bring it along! Maybe we can make a list of the 2010 topics the group wants to explore and we can look at our resources to make it happen. Any recent anomalous experiences you have had, always please feel free to bring them and share with the group.
September 18th, 2009 8 pm Note the new time, it has proved to be popular as it gives people more time to get here on a Friday night. Ava B would like to brainstorm with us in regards to the film SOMETHING UNKNOWN IS DOING WE DON’T KNOW WHAT which is about asking scientists about intuition and energy healing.
“...Scientists, despite their conclusions, are still very far from creating a full-fledged theory of dimensions because, in the study and description of the higher dimensions, they use the tools of the world of the third dimension and the five-sense perception. It is like chasing the horizon - the faster we get closer to it, the faster it moves away from us. Again, this is the law of Nature - in order to break through to higher dimensions, you need, at least, to go beyond the limits of your own perception. It is impossible to pull yourself out of the swamp by your bootstraps. To overcome these obstacles, methods are needed that would seem to a scientist to be completely "unscientific..."

Let's try to imagine subjective science... bringing the humanity back...
October 12th, 2008, Sunday at 6:30 P.M in Redondo Beach. Tom Lehrer will speak on the Essence of Reality. With a two-month west coast tour spanning Vancouver, BC, to San Diego, Tom Nehrer adds Redondo Beach SSE/IONS to his 50+ speaking engagements of 2008. His appearances from Florida to Toronto, in the Netherlands and UK, New York City and Chicago and from Milwaukee to Denver to Taos to Nashville have brought deep insights to many open-minded groups – eliciting energetic acceptance at each talk. The Essence of Reality – A Clear Awareness of How Life Work - Cultural notions absorbed during childhood never clarify how Reality works. They only mask life’s real flow: an integrated Oneness in which Consciousness manifests experienced Reality. Spurred by an early mystic experience, Tom Nehrer’s long inner journey yielded intimate perception of life’s flow, expanding the once fleeting glimpse of that Oneness into ongoing awareness. Tom presents a view of Reality from his unique vantage point – seeing life without the distorting veil of belief and definition. He delves into underlying mind functionality, self-image realization and the fulfillment of one’s own core nature embodied in encountered events and relationships. His web site, The Essence of Reality at www.nehrer.net, long accessed by readers world-wide, ever-more-frequent talks and now his book are expanding a low key approach into an ever wider offering to open-minded seekers.

After being educated in Germany and the US, he pursued advanced studies in the arts on a World Study Scholarship from Virginia Commonwealth University, followed by a career in the entertainment industry. Within a few years, Dawa’s increasing desire to be of greater service to others propelled him to leave his music career behind in order to work with severely ill cancer and cardiac patients in Germany. While in his early twenties, Dawa met the late Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Lama Gendun Rinpoche and subsequently completed two 3-year meditation retreats under his guidance at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling in France. There, Dawa studied, practiced and taught as an ordained Buddhist monk for many years before resettling in the US in early 2008. His Tibetan name, "Dawa Tarchin" means "Accomplished Moon". Now a lay Dharma teacher, Dawa presently holds courses in the US and Europe, and serves as resident teacher of the Santa Barbara BodhiPath Buddhist Center in California. He devotes his time to study, practice and exploring the many applications of Buddhist teachings and philosophy in our fast-paced, modern world. Currently, Dawa is developing mindfulness and awareness programs for schools and corporations that go beyond the confinements of religious affiliation. He enjoys exchanging and interacting with people of all ages and from many backgrounds, faiths and professions.
March 6th, 2009,at 8:00 P.M. We will continue on the same topic as last time ... anomalous phenomena... unusual and unexplained phenomena that you might have experienced that would defy logic and science but yet that you unequivocally personally experienced. In the end it is these very experiences that move us forward into the unknown realms remaining to be properly addressed by the sciences. We look forward to being with you.

May 8th, 2008, at 7:30 P.M in Redondo Beach. "Spiritual Evolution and Out-of-Body Experiences"! This presentation will be given by Luis Minero of the Los Angeles office of the International Academy of Consciousness (IAC). The Out-of-Body-Experience (OBE), also known as astral projection, is a natural phenomenon in which the consciousness (soul, spirit) leaves the physical body. The OBE is a completely different phenomenon from either an ordinary dream or a lucid dream. It is a real situation experienced in another dimension. Some of the other related subjects covered by IAC courses include: spiritual and evolutionary consequences, understanding death, the role of extraphysical helpers (guides), the use of bioenergies to assist and heal others, the study of the subtle bodies, paranormal manifestation, karma, spiritual maturity, the undestanding of the non-physical body, and others. The IAC is a non-profit research and educational organization that studies the consciousness (soul, spirit, essence), placing special emphasis on the out-of- body experience (OBE), vital energy mastery, and other multidimensional manifestations.

January 30th, 2011, Sunday at 6:00pm. During our December meeting we agreed upon exploring the topic of ... fear... That, which can propel us either, into the dark abyss, or into courage to move into the Light... From personal fears to the societal culture of fear, fear can become its own self-fulfilling prophecy. Fear is often examined in relation to specific issues; it is rarely considered as a sociological problem in its own right. Over the years, our group has come to witness the awakening consciousness within us... Let us look at how all this can be put to work for us to fully realize our potentials... Before our meeting, please consider privately meditating on the power of love to heal the emptiness of fear. Sardello, a follower of Rudolf Steiner, in his book Freeing the Soul from Fear states that we can counter the pervasive influence of fear by strengthening the competence of our soul.... Remember that we know we can deliberately try to program right thoughts into our head every single day. This is the best way to change the picture of fear into one of victory. Let us explore this and support each other in this life endeavor.... Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

December 19, 2010 Sunday at 6:00 pm. Many expressed an interest in just getting together to share experiences, lessons learned over the past year, celebrate life's joys, etc. so please come join us in this year-end celebration.

April 30th, 2010 Saturday, in Redondo Beach. "And now for the GOOD news…" by Cher Gilmore, and she comes highly recommended via Pierre and Dianne! Cher will share the remarkable changes are beginning to take place in the world, most below the radar of the average person and the mass media. They are the seeds of a beautiful new civilization, gradually sprouting in all fields – social, political, economic, scientific, environmental. In this presentation you will learn about some of these exciting new developments, ways of being, and blueprints for the future; the spiritual reality behind them; and what you can do to help speed the transformation. Cher holds a BA in Psychology from George Washington University; an MSW with a specialty in Community Organization from University of California, Berkeley; and an MURS (Master of Urban and Regional Studies) from the City Planning Department, University of Southern California. She is currently Media Coordinator for Share International USA, and has organized and managed various projects, organizations, or businesses over the years. These include a bookstore and healing center, a Center of Light based on New Thought teachings, an alternative newspaper focusing on spirituality, health and political action, and a Global Relationship Center which gave transformational weekend workshops for emotional healing.
March 30th, 2010 Wednesday, in Redondo Beach. For those of you receiving this for the first time as SSE members in Southern California, please email us to confirm that you are interested and we will send you the directions to the meeting. We usually meet on the weekends but we have Dr. Mark Urban-Lurain in town, and he has graciously agreed to come speak to our group while he is here on business!!! Mark is the Director of Instructional Technology Research & Development at Michigan State University, and he is also on the Council for the SSE and is the Society's Executive Committee. Astrology is an anomaly that has been scientifically studied since the 1950s with conflicting outcomes (the Gauquelins, skeptic groups, Westrum). Mark came to realize that one of the challenges presented by astrology is that it transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. The goal is not simply to reframe astrology into the languages of other “accepted” disciplines, but to broaden our understanding of the world, the richness of which cannot be captured in the narrow language of any one discipline – including astrology. He will discuss with us methodological challenges in astrological research, and discuss ways to address them and discuss ways to address them. This will be followed with a general Q&A for our group.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:00 pm. We have a wonderful topic to start off the new year. The Gaia Theory says that the planet Earth is a living organism. What evidence is there that this is so, and what are the implications? And if the planet is alive, can it evolve intelligence? Richard Omura will discuss these questions with us and present possibilities.
