As Western culture struggles with its addiction to a tragically limited and negative worldview, evidence of our shaman-mystic-scientist past, persistently repressed by Church and State, is emerging with the blueprint for our evolution. This blueprint is revealed in the heart wisdom of the mystic and in the new science of quantum physics. Both nurture and support the sacred knowledge of our immortality, divinity, and creativity. This is the wisdom of the whole mind — the visionary and the rational, the feminine and the masculine, the mystic and the scientist. This is the consciousness that is changing the world.
The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life
An inspiring narrative of one family’s extraordinary grief experiences, including precognitive dreams, visions, afterdeath communications, out of body experiences, and synchronistic events, surrounding multiple deaths in their family. The sole survivor and narrator is a Western trained academic who initially struggled to accept realities that ultimately changed every aspect of her life. Weaving personal, historical and mythic perspectives, Dr. Kovacs shows us that such individual experiences along with cutting-edge scientific research support a radical change in the way we think about death — and life.

Urgent Message! Can You Hear Us Now? with Dr. Betty J. Kovacs and Janet Mayer, webinar.
