Parapsychology Meetup - Melbourne

Near Death Experiences (NDEs) - You hear about them from time to time, read about them in books, and see experiencers on YouTube. But rarely do you get to meet someone in person who has had a full-blown multi-dimensional techni-colour NDE.

Our speaker, Joseph Warburton, had one at his 33rd birthday party in 2012. On that fateful day, Joe died of a cardiac arrest, slipped out of his body, and entered an altered state of consciousness where he was visited by light beings and given messages that would change his life forever. And he can still remember it clearly like it happened yesterday.

In this fascinating presentation, Joe will take you on a journey through all aspects of his experience in all detail. How it happened, what he saw, what he felt, the effects it had on him, and what he realised about the nature of the self, the world, and the great beyond.

It’s an exciting interactive story where Joe welcomes questions throughout.

About the Presenter:
Since surviving death, Joe (a musician from England) has made it his life mission to learn all about altered states of consciousness, NDE’s and their affects on survivors, their families and friends. He has attended many seminars, workshops, retreats and discussions around the world. Impacted by his NDE, Joe’s music career has converged with sound frequency healing and spiritual story telling.

Joe uses his platform as a musician to spread the message of eternal life, peace, unity and wants to eradicate the “fear of death” from the human condition.

Precognition (seeing into the future): Tales of soothsayers, premonitions, and future predictions coming true have peppered human history all around the world since the beginning of time. But recently in 2011, one Professor Daryl Bem of Cornell University published his systematic and rigorous experimental results showing that precognition is definitely real.

What were the experiments and the findings exactly?
How did the scientific community react?
How does it transform our models of reality?

In this presentation, Richard will discuss all of the above and more:
Prof. Daryl Bem's work and his findings, the firestorm of controversy he created, the most common model proposed for explaining the fact of precognition, and an alternative mode for precognition suggested by neuroscience.

About the Presenter:

• Professor Emeritus at Swinburne University
• Founder and Chief Scientist of Neuro-Insight Pty
• Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Melbourne University
• BSc (Hon) in Physics from Monash University
• Former Chairman of the Department of Physics
• Founding director of Swinburne Uni Brain Sciences Institute

An exciting opportunity for the adventurous and inquisitive alike....
I'm organising a group trip to the Psi Games Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia.
["psi" = parapsychological or psychical phenomena]

What is The Psi Games Conference?
It's a three-day event (1-3 August) that includes:

• Talks and Workshops with 29 different presenters/speakers (all with different specialisations in psi experiences and research) including 4 Keynote Speakers
• The Psi Games, where participants with psychic abilities can compete in five distinct psi skills (remote viewing, telepathy, precognition, etc). Complete with judges, commentators, scientific advisors, and spectators.
• Expo, exhibitors, and networking

For more information about the event, click here: https://psigamesinternational.com/

You can also watch a short explainer video here for more information:

Some of the notable speakers:

• Dr. Diane Powell - the Telepathy Tapes, Autism and Akashic records
• Thomas Campbell - Theory of Everything, the Physics of Paranormal
• Paul H. Smith - Remote Viewing Expert & Military Stargate Program Officer
• Gary Kraftsow - Founder & Director American Viniyoga Institute
• Jeffrey Mishlove - New Thinking Allowed

Tour of DOPS (4 August)
I have also booked a private tour for our group at the University of Virginia with the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), which is the foremost leading parapsychology research unit in the world. That tour will be on the Monday following the conference and include:

• History of DOPS
• Introducing current researchers and their work
• Walk-through of the library and neuroimaging lab
• Q&A discussion / hangout with researchers

Here's How It Will Work
It's always more fun to do something like this when you are part of a crew. We are looking for a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 people to form the group (most likely all from Melbourne - although people from other parts of Australia are welcome to join us).

Everyone will be responsible for their own flights and accommodation bookings. But I will help to keep things coordinated, via a shared Whatsapp group, for preparing the trip, teaming up, and while we're there, to meetup for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (on a completely voluntary basis). But that will also form the platform for going to the different talks and events together.

I have taken a look at the projected costs for flights, accommodation, meals, and event tickets, and your minimum cost for the whole expedition will be from $3500 to $5000 (depending on your choices). We can discuss details and information to be shared on the Whatsapp group chat. More information will be coming...

To Register your interest and join the Whatsapp Group chat, RSVP to this event. I will not ask for any commitments, but at some point, we will want to know who is 100% decided about coming.
