GENERAL TOPICS FOR PRESENTATIONS
In addition to presentations at professional conferences on the
emerging human story, Paul Von Ward makes formal presentations on the
specific topics described below. He is also available to conduct
experiential workshops on subtle energies and inner senses as detailed
below.
THE EMERGING HUMAN STORY
This presentation synthesizes the most recent finding in biology,
physics, anthropology and archaeology, consciousness studies, and world
history to arrive at the most up-to-date account possible of the story
of human development and the place of Homo sapiens in a living
universe. Humans as an evolved species, but not necessarily the most
advanced among conscious beings, are portrayed as self-learning
organisms directly manifested from universal consciousness, where the
Source intends all beings to contribute to an open-ended process of
self-realization.
NATURAL SPIRITUALITY
How do findings from science, religion, and metaphysics fit
together? Instead of attempting to reconcile these incompatible
worldviews, the presentation re-examines the history of the assumptions
each brings to the current era. It traces the devolution over time of
the natural origins of "received wisdom" and the limitations attached
to each set of institutions. By revealing the various human distortions
of earlier eras, it takes us back to the foundations of natural science
and philosophy, with its perspective on the answers now given to the
existential questions of (1) Whence did humans originate? (2) What role
do we play in the universe? (3) What is our destiny?
GODS, GENES, & CONSCIOUSNESS; NONHUMAN INTERVENTION IN HUMAN HISTORY
A presentation that: (1) rediscovers humanity's untold history,
including the era mistakenly labeled "prehistory;" (2) review our
knowledge of and relationship to other conscious beings; and (3)
identify their influence on modern consciousness. Recognition of our
solarian legacy provides for a more honestly- and fully-lived future,
one based on acceptance of our true selves and personal powers. It
offers a route to individual and societal wholeness.
OUR CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE AND THE POWER OF INTENTION
A pre-workshop lecture: "A universe filled with life and
consciousness? Modern science confirms what our ancestors intuitively
knew all along: We live in a self-learning, multidimensional, and
interactive universe. Humans shape their own destinies and play a role
in its evolution through the power of conscious intention. Gain insight
into the power of consciousness and how to use it!"
The workshop: "Your CQ May Be Higher Than Your IQ?" You may know
your IQ, but do you know your CQ (consciousness quotient)? Have you
known who was calling before you picked up the phone? Did you meet
someone for the first time, but felt you had already known them? Have
you had an image of some place and later found it to be correct? This
workshop will let you find your CQ score with a special questionnaire;
test your telepathic, remote viewing and precognitive skills; and learn
how to strengthen them. Learn to consciously take charge of your inner
senses and powers.
EVIDENCE OF AN EXPANSIVE UNIVERSE
(1) Lecture on "Influence of Advanced Beings on Human History"
Who were the gods of old who talked and walked with the patriarchs
of the Bible, and slept with their daughters? Are they the fairy tales
of Hebrew and Greek myths and legends? Paul describes the natural path
of human development before a few re-interpreted the history of ABs.
The result was a belief in the "fallen state" of humans, leading to an
era of magical thinking, supernaturalism, and the split between science
and religion.
Begin to consider how this history may have shaped the way you
personally feel and think about everything you experience. Consider how
our group identity may actually be a segment of society not unlike a
sub-personality in a Multiple Personality Disorder. The final question
will be "Where in the ancient past lie the roots of your modern
worldview?
(2) Intensive Workshop on "The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Intervention in Human Life"
This is an all-day workshop that includes the presentation of
original research, active group discussion, and the use of a
self-questionnaire to provide insight into the basic implicit
assumptions that shape your individual's emotional life and behavior.
How did humans reach the point where various groups actually live in
different realities? A re-examination of history reveals why human
consciousness now supports religious wars and terrorism. It also
demonstrates how a few Advanced Being leaders were responsible for not
only dividing humans into antagonistic sects and nation-states, but for
the individual's alienation from Self.
Drawing on research from the history of science and culture,
archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, genetics, psychology and
ancient texts, Paul paints a compelling picture of a past
long-forgotten. He then brings the story up to-date, showing why and
how this suppressed history is continually covered-up by covert,
powerful elitists.
A THREE-FACET MODEL FOR SUBTLE ENERGY RESEARCH
Assuming a three-faceted model of reality (consciousness, subtle
energy, and matenergy), the presentation reviews the work of selected
subtle energy and consciousness researchers (Sheldrake, Backster,
Puthoff, and others) to postulate how interactive Hermetic Principles
could help noetic science progress from descriptive to explanatory
theories for psi, conscious healing, and other areas of inner
communications among beings.
SOLARIAN LEGACY: Metascience and Interpersonal Relationships for Personal, Professional, and Public Situations
Part of the unfulfilled Solarian Legacy is the unsatisfactory nature
of most human relations. "Metascience"--a combination of ancient wisdom
and frontier science--fills the gaps of conventional theories about the
nature of personality: Research in the powers of human consciousness
reveals multiple ways of accessing knowledge, involving "subtle
energies" and "inner senses," about individual behavior and personal
interactions.
Learn what these energies and senses are, and how they work.
Experience ways to use them in achieving effectiveness in your
community and professional relationships. Be ready to accept the role
of "solarian lover" in intimate connections.
SOLARIAN LEGACY and the UFO/ET Phenomenon
Delving into prehistory, along with the cutting edge of
consciousness studies and three-faceted hypothesis/model development,
helps to further ufology in a rational, scientific way. The data
included in the book makes it clear that we are dealing with a very
long-term phenomenon (not just 50 years), and one that exists at
several different levels. Consequently, all sighting or contact reports
must be analized from at least three perspectives: the five-sense,
matter/energy tests of evidence; the known, but as yet not understood
subtle energies; and purely from the realm of consciousness. In other
words, a reported event can be a nuts-and-bolts experience, a
perception of concentrations of subtle energy (like a poltergeist or
morphogenic field), or an imaginal vision. In the second case a certain
state of psychological receptivity is a precondition to the subtle
energy sighting (explaining why some people in a group report seeing a
UFO while others in the same group do not). In the third, the witness
may have a direct telepathic experience or may share the memories of
another person's event. Until we divide reports into these three
categories and analyze them with the appropriate tools we are likely
to continue to misrepresent the reality of the phenomenon.
The presentation gives historical case studies to demonstrate the
validity of the three categories, shows how inappropriate classification distorts
the data, and provides a framework for helping individuals to better
understand and communicate their own experiences.
WORKSHOP: Enhance Your Subtle Senses and Inner Powers
Discover how to strengthen the inner senses: the subtle ways of
knowing. Using the ancient Hermetic Principles in conjunction with
frontier science, identify the energetic and cognitive senses
corresponding to the five physical senses. Benefiting from the latest
in quantum physics and consciousness research, learn how telepathic,
remote viewing, precognitive, "memory search," and "dream" modes of
knowing actually work. Practice distinguishing among the different
senses now lumped under ambiguous terms like gut feeling, intuition,
psychic knowing, heart connection, and spiritual bonding.
