Consciousness Today:
Where Scientists and Psychics meet!
The Rhine Research Center is devoted to answering
the fundamental questions we all ask about life:
What happens after death? Can we all perceive beyond
the five senses? Can psychics diagnose illness? How
does healing happen? Do very successful business
people use psychic abilities? What can we do to
enhance our own intuition?
If you are one of the large percentage of the
general public interested these questions or one of
the small percentage of scientists who have spent
time investigating the answers, this conference is
for you. Come and listen to the latest findings by
consciousness researchers, hear psychics describe
their intuitive experiences and meet others
interested in this exciting field.
The conference will feature keynote addresses by
these three famous authors:
Opening Speaker
Joe McMoneagle
Banquet Speaker
Dr. Sally Rhine Feather
Closing Speaker

Four panel discussions will be held focused on
healing, medical intuitive diagnosis, intuition in
business and psychic amplifiers. Other sessions will
be devoted to short scientific presentations related
to these four topics and other fascinating areas of
parapsychology submitted by researchers from around
the world. Live music will be performed at the
breaks between sessions including shamanic flute,
celtic fiddle, classic country and jazz piano.

A New Approach to Healing; Human Genetic Therapy
This is an excerpt from Dr. Tanous essay on
"A New Approach To Healing: Human Genetic Therapy"
******************************************************
INTRODUCTION:
Every living cell contains coded genes. A gene is a
small element within a chromosome concerned with the
transmission and development of hereditary
characteristics and traits.
It is in the study of genetics that we will be able
to see throught the evolutionary transformation, the
potential and probable future of the human race.
In my understanding, genes have a memory which can
be active or non-active. I call this genetic memory.
For example: when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the
genes of both parents now interact in the newly
conceived child. Once the genetic memory has become
active, it will give the child it's characteristics
and traits, such as color of eyes, hair, structure
etc. Moreover, it will pass on the diseases, or
weakness as well as strenghts, talents and its
mission and role of each human being for the future
perfection of the human race.
Moreover, I strongly hold that within the genetic
memory we find an inherited consciousness. It is
activated when the genetic memory is awakened by
networking among the genes and moves the person
towards personal and universal goals for the
perfection of the race and the universe.
The networking between the genetic memory and the
inherited consciousness awakens in each person the
"unfinished business" of all the past which must be
fulfilled. This is also coded in our genes.
INHERITED CONSCIOUSNESS:
The inherited consciousness which I hold is also
coded in the genetic memory as in a computer and
when the right cosmic time is presented it will
motivate and place before the person all that person
needs to fulfill the unfinished business. In other
words, throught the inherited consciousness, the
genetic memory is activated and by the power it has,
informs the person of the unfinished business
unconsciously. (Is it always unconscious?)
Through the inherited consciousness distant
knowledge of the past as well as the future and the
immediate is presented as a wholeness for
perfection. Each person, no matter what the person
does, becomes significant in the achievement of the
goasl toward the whole of the universal
consciousness.

Concise consciousness
Quality or state of being aware. As applied to the
lower animals, consciousness refers to the capacity
for sensation and, usually, simple volition. In
higher animals, this capacity may also include
thinking and emotion. In human beings, consciousness
is understood to include “meta-awareness,” an
awareness that one is aware. The term also refers
broadly to the upper level of mental life of which
the person is aware, as contrasted with unconscious
processes. Levels of consciousness (e.g., attention
vs. sleep) are correlated with patterns of
electrical activity in the brain (brain waves). See
also philosophy of mind.

consciousness, in psychology, a term commonly used
to indicate a state of awareness of self and
environment. In Freudian psychology, conscious
behavior largely includes cognitive processes of the
ego, such as thinking, perception, and planning, as
well as some aspects of the superego, such as moral
conscience. Some psychologists deny the distinction
between conscious and unconscious behavior; others
use the term consciousness to indicate all the
activities of an individual that constitute the
personality. In recent years, neuropsychologists
have begun to investigate the links between
consciousness and memory, as well as altered states
of consciousness such as the dream state. See also
defense mechanism; psychoanalysis.

Cognitive neuroscience approaches:
Modern investigations into and discoveries about
consciousness are based on psychological statistical
studies and case studies of consciousness states and
the deficits caused by lesions, stroke, injury, or
surgery that disrupt the normal functioning of human
senses and cognition. These discoveries suggest that
the mind is a complex structure derived from various
localized functions that are bound together with a
unitary awareness
