PARANORMAL VOICES (click here for further info)

An astounding phenomenon is explored, that of the independent direct voice manifesting in space. Voices of people who say they once lived on earth. They tell how they experienced their deaths and what happened afterwards.

New Age philosophy is based on ancient traditions: Gnosticism, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, as well as Eastern philosophy. These were blended into one belief when Mme. Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. Her approach still bore the spirit of the age. Conflicts raged over her person, miracles and message. Yet her basic ideas of karma, reincarnation and the holographic unity of the universe are now widely accepted.
The legacy of all these traditions is sublimated in the New Age philosophy.
