Scientific research during the last few years has led to the discovery that human consciousness continues beyond death. Instead of being produced by the brain, consciousness is now perceived to be an inextinguishable quantum effect. The truth of this can be verified by research (my talk will explain how to do this). Enlightenment was gained in Ancient times. by means of meditation. More recently it has been accessed by Edgar Cayce by entering a state of trance, while Madame Helena Blavatsky receive the knowledge direct from Tibetan masters. The knowledge has changed the lives of artists, poets, visionaries and writers, and is already reinvigorating the Spiritual groth of Christians, Hindus, Buddists and seekers after the truth. By uniting Science and Spirit, the discovery represents the greatest advance in human knowledge since the Age of Copernicus. The Catholic church has established a commission to think through the implications.

From 1999-2003 he chaired the Devon Museums Group, organising four annual conferences for museum professionals in Devon. He also undertook four consultancies on archaeology and heritage for the Hong Kong government.
Advice to Hosts: "All my talks are based on original research, most of which has been peer-review and published. I always tailor my talks to my audience, so they are not overly academic. To ensure I can concentrate on the talk, I ask my hosts to provide a screen and a Powerpoint projector."
