    Alan Pearce (Coma Stories)

    Alan Pearce is a journalist, broadcaster, former BBC correspondent, and author of several books. He has contributed to numerous publications, from Time Magazine to The Sunday Times of London.

    His wife Beverley, who cowrote the book with him, is a former private investigator who now works as an aromatherapist and a practitioner in yoga-based bodywork. Both Alan and Beverley live in Nouvelle Aquitaine, France.

    Their book 'Coma and Near-Death Experience (The Beautiful, Disturbing, and Dangerous World of the Unconscious)' explores the extraordinary states of expanded consciousness that arise during comas, both positive and negative.

    Every day around the world, thousands of people are placed in medically-induced comas. For some coma survivors, the experience is an utter blank. Others lay paralyzed, aware of everything around them but unable to move, speak, or even blink. Many experience alternate lives spanning decades, lives they grieve once awakened. Some encounter ultra-vivid nightmares, while others undergo a deep, spiritual oneness with the universe or say they have glimpsed the afterlife.

    Examining the beautiful and disturbing experiences of those who have survived comas, Alan and Beverley investigate the mysterious levels of consciousness this near-death experience unlocks. They demonstrate how a key element of the brain is switched off by coma-inducing sedatives, allowing the mind to break free from the body and experience a greater expansion of consciousness. Revealing the dangers of deep sedation and other intensive care procedures, the authors show how comas are unnecessary more often than not and that many coma survivors go on to suffer lasting cognitive and physical harm. Exploring proven alternatives to medically-induced coma, they share tried and tested protocols that are safer for critically ill patients and kinder for the patients and their families.

    Showing how we can avoid the suffering caused by comas, this book reveals the wide variety of conscious states that can arise during comas, both positive and negative, and how accepting the reality of these experiences is crucial not only to the recovery of coma survivors, but also to the field of consciousness and NDE studies.

    Ron Morehead (The Sierra Sounds)

    Ron Morehead has been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. He is an author, researcher, lecturer, experiencer, and producer of the Sierra Sounds.
    To date, he comes closer than any other researcher to having a complete body of evidence.

    The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested, and accredited as genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on a CD and also in a book, "Voices in the Wilderness."

    In order to try and understand the enigmas associated with these giants, he began to delve into Quantum Physics for the scientific answers that he and his hunting friends experienced, and as a result he wrote another thought-provoking book," The Quantum Bigfoot."

    Ron now resides with his partner, Keri, in North Carolina, but has traveled from Alaska to Patagonia and from North America to Siberia in search of the truth to how these beings are able to stay so hidden from Classical science.

    Besides being the keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs and TV documentaries such as the Learning Channel and Travel Channel.

  • John Avery (Mace Energy Method)

    John Avery (Mace Energy Method)

    John’s journey in this field began in 1963. He had a fairly successful business but he seemed limited—he could not progress past a certain point. Working hard was no problem as it was enjoyable. He was vaguely aware he was holding himself back somehow but he had no idea how. He commenced searching for the answers as to why some people could set goals and then achieve them with consummate ease, while others, not lacking in effort, could not do so.

    This search took him to his first counselling sessions, which certainly made him feel better—a lot of his negativity and self–destructive habits abated. His attitude improved and a very important thing came out of the counselling: he realised that he was fully responsible for the results in his life – good or bad – and he stopped blaming others for his problems.

    From this improvement, he decided that he would like to help others as he had been helped. So in early 1964, he commenced training as a counsellor/consultant in Perth. In 1966, he went to England, Canada, and America for more training and experience, which continued into the ’80s.

    Along the way, despite different methods of healing and motivation, he still felt something was missing. For both clients and himself, he noticed that some problem areas would go away, only to resurface again later. It seemed impossible to achieve a permanent change no matter what the skill of the counsellor and the good intentions of each party. Something was still missing.

    Because he could not achieve permanent results for his clients, he felt a little like a fraud, so he ceased his counselling activities. His journey so far had led him to realise that many others were looking for the same thing: a permanent solution to overcome the seemingly invisible hurdles in life, blocking happiness and achievement.

    For him, life has three main areas: work, home and social. There are many examples of one person being great at work but with lots of family and relationship problems, while others are fine socially but can’t handle work. Their potential has only been realised in one area. To him, true happiness lies in being on top in all areas.

    Today, there are many methods of healing or motivation, which can and do make people feel a lot better; that is easy, but how long it lasts is the real criterion. Although not a criticism, for he is full of admiration for those who genuinely want to work with and help their fellow man, he calls these feel-good therapies.

    Over the years, because no permanent solution has emerged to handle life’s problems, a large part of society has been conditioned to the quick fix, hence the prevalence of drugs, illegal or otherwise. It is as if many people are grasping for any little bit of transient happiness regardless of the consequences.
    In 1995, he was in Perth and met up again with John Mace. Their paths had crossed a few times over the years and they had remained friendly because of their similar interests in self–improvement techniques.

    Apart from being a Mace Energy Method Practitioner, John is also the pioneer of the Causism Institute training programs and a Senior International MEM Trainer.

  • James Joyce “Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages”

    James Joyce “Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages”
    Jan 16 2025



    James Joyce's essay "Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages" (1907) is a reflective and critical exploration of Ireland's cultural, religious, and intellectual history.

    Delivered as a lecture in Trieste, the essay examines Ireland's ancient achievements, particularly in education, spirituality, and literature, juxtaposing them with the contemporary state of Irish society, which Joyce viewed as mired in stagnation and parochialism.

    He critiques the romanticized notions of Irish nationalism and questions the oppressive influence of both British colonial rule and the Catholic Church on Ireland's cultural identity. Joyce's nuanced perspective captures his complex relationship with his homeland—simultaneously celebrating its rich heritage and lamenting its failure to evolve. The essay is a precursor to themes he would explore in his later literary works, emphasizing his commitment to artistic freedom and intellectual honesty.
