Ever
wondered about your ESP ability? Or
wanted to attend a Spoon Bending Party?
Here’s a chance to test your ESP in an
informal group setting with like-minded
Rhine Center friends and/or the frankly
curious. Dr. William Joines and RRC
colleagues will lead the group in a
variety of ESP games, including using
the well-known Zener cards, exercises in
Remote Viewing of hidden target
pictures, as well as dowsing. As a
finale, you will have a chance to
participate in one of our favorite but
rare occasions – an actual Spoon Bending
Party!! Spoons provided!
This is a fun, experiential evening!
Limited spaces! We recommend buying
tickets in advance.
William F. Bengston has
conducted more than a dozen experiments on
mice in half a dozen labs, including three
medical schools. The data from these
experiments indicate reliable full lifespan
cures of mice infected with normally fatal
cancers. These cures have been replicated by
skeptical volunteers using “energy healing”
techniques which he helped to develop.
Clinically, these same healing techniques
have also been applied to selected
individuals with positive results. In
addition, his research has looked at some
correlates to healing, including EEG and
fMRI entrainment, and anomalous geomagnetic
micropulsations in the surrounding space of
healing events.
His talk will
summarize some of these data, and will offer
some thoughts on what “lessons” can be
learned from the research. There will be
variation in the amount of evidence for each
lesson, and I will try to prioritize what
can confidently be concluded and what
remains as speculation. Confident
conclusions will include the simple
statement that energy healing can cure
cancer under controlled laboratory
conditions. Speculation will include such
questions as whether healing can be taught.
In all cases the “take home” message will be
the importance of basic research for the
energy healing community.
William F. Bengston is a professor
of sociology at St. Joseph's College in New
York, and President of the Society for
Scientific Exploration, and international
group of scientists who study anomalies. His
areas of specialization include research
methods and statistics. For over twenty five
years, Dr. Bengston has been doing research
into anomalous healing and has numerous
publications in the Journal of Scientific
Exploration, the Journal of Alternative and
Complementary Medicine, and Explore. In
addition, he has lectured widely throughout
the United States and Europe. His research
has produced the first successful full cures
of transplanted mammary cancer and
methylcholanthrene induced sarcomas in
experimental mice by laying-on-of-hands
techniques that he helped to develop. He has
also investigated assorted correlates to
healing such as geomagnetic micropulsations
and EEG harmonics and entrainment. He has
recently published a memoir, The Energy
Cure, with Sounds True, along with a 6 CD
set Hands On Healing: A Training Course in
the Energy Cure, which describes his healing
techniques.

Modern Mediumship and Messages from Beyond With Ron Pappalardo
What happens to people when they cross over into spirit? Who do they meet? What is life like there? For millennia it has been the province of spiritual mediums to contact spirit beings and convey their messages to the living; the first serious scientific inquiry into spiritual phenomena, beginning in the 1840s and leading to the formation of the modern Spiritualist movement in 1848, was prompted by these messages.
When his 17-year-old son, Joshua, committed suicide, Ron Pappalardo wanted to know what had become of his son in the afterlife. Through some gifted psychics and mediums, Joshua made contact in the form of detailed letters describing what happened to him and others when they made the transition to the other side, the people he met in the spirit world, and what life is like for those who inhabit these realms. In his talk, Ron will share his son’s story, the revelations that came to him through the letters, and the spiritual adventure that he has had as a result.
Ron's work with mediums in the aftermath of his son's death prompted a desire to develop his own spiritual gifts, and he has since become a Reiki Master, gifted medium, and spiritual healer. He completed the Course on Modern Spiritualism at the Morris Pratt Institute in Milwaukee and has become an authority on the history of Spiritualism, psychic phenomena, and mysticism. His talk will cover the origins of modern Spiritualism, scientific discoveries related to mediumship, and a demonstration of how mediumship works.
BIO:
Although he was raised in a traditionally Catholic family, Ron searched for life’s meaning through other faith traditions and philosophies. His quest for truth led him to several of the New Thought movements of the 1970s, such as Transcendental Meditation, the Hare Krishna sect of Hinduism, Soka Gakkai Buddhism, Baba Ram Das, and the Unification movement, including graduate studies in religious education at the Unification Theological Seminary in New York. He has decades of experience facilitating interfaith dialogue and political reconciliation in locations all over the world. He hosts a monthly spirit circle, and speaks at colleges about dealing with grief and preventing suicide. He recently published Reconciled by the Light: The After Death Letters from a Teen Suicide, his account of his Joshua’s life, death, and afterlife communications.
Ron lives in Cary with his wife, Connie, and their three surviving children. Learn more about him and his work at www.ReconciledByTheLight.com.

ENERGY MEDICINE—The Future of Health WORKSHOP
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
Saturday, May 19, 2012
10:00 am -5:00 pm
Alex Tanous Library at The Rhine Center
2741 Campus Walk Ave. Durham, NC 27705
Energy is the essence of everything. Of course drugs and surgery are also energy, essential for many acute illnesses and of help in sustaining some chronic diseases. On the other hand, most of the tools that maintain and improve health, and those which often restore health and promote longevity, are not widely used, despite their safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness. Having worked with over 30,000 patients who have failed conventional medicine, I have helped 85% of them return to a comfortable and functional life. My experience in helping those with chronic pain and depression will be the focus of this workshop, emphasizing the energy tools and personal protocols that have been most effective:
Cranial Electrical Stimulation
Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation
Acupuncture
Music Therapy
Non-needle alternatives for acupuncture
Biofeedback and self-regulation
Education
Spinal distraction
Past Life therapy
Members $120
Non-members $145.00
Lunch available from NOSH $10.00 or bring your own.
Reservations suggested.
PEG
monthly meetings are dedicated to the
discussion of psi and consciousness
through listening and speaking from
personal experiences with a policy of
honesty, privacy, and sharing without
judgment. Shared experiences have
touched on topics such as telepathy,
healing, precognition, extended senses,
psychokinesis, remote viewing, dreams,
haunting, reincarnation, near death
experiences, out-of-body experiences,
and other unsolved mysteries. As
personal stories flow, ideas and
inspiration begin to flow for developing
our extended psi and for finding
creative ways to be of greater service
in the larger community.
Facilitators are Pamela St. John and
Debi Pratt. For questions or
