Major Website Re-vamp Planned
Wednesday, October 22 @ 23:22:19 BST by Administrator (250 reads) |  simon writes "psychicQuesting.com has been running now for over four years and although specific pieces of functionality have been added (or, more rarely, removed), the overall structure and design hasn't changed at all since day one.
To rectify this I am planning a major site revamp between now and the New Year. I have some fairly clear ideas about the design and structure of the new site (as well as some pretty exciting new content...but more on that another time) but I'm very eager to hear what you, the actual users of the site, enjoy, find frustrating, want to see more of, want to see less of.... I'm soliciting opinion on all aspects of the site - design, structure, content - even technical aspects for those techies amongst you.
It would help enormously if you posted your comments - the good, the bad, the ugly all gratefully accepted - in reply to this forum thread - http://www.psychicquesting.com/ftopicp-1051.html#1051 that I've set up for the purpose of gathering feedback.
Many thanks for your support so far and hopefully with your assistance I can take the site to the next level."

Bloodsport for All!
Thursday, October 16 @ 23:55:27 BST by Administrator (230 reads) | simon writes "A few threads have recently woven together into a little knot surrounding the use of ancient megalithic sites that I feel is worth highlighting. As mentioned in my review of the Psychic Questing weekender (below), the venue this year was Avebury and one of the visualisation exercises we performed was to float back in time and see how whether we could catch a glimpse of the past at this site.
 I had rather an odd image come to mind that was of warriors with swords hacking down in what I can only describe as "in an industrial rhythm". Two groups of men lining up and striking something (unseen) in between with every second man moving in synch (and hence half a turn out of sync with the people on each side of them) - giving a piston-like precision to the strokes.
In fairness I can claim no originality as Andrew Collins had previously been vocal about the possibility of these sites as a focus for death cults or funerary rites so the suggestion had already been planted. Still the image was a striking one and it lasted with me long after the weekend had ended.

Book review: The Sacred Quest
Friday, November 30 @ 23:33:20 GMT by Administrator (720 reads) | simon writes "The "positive thinking" approach to self-improvement has recently converted a whole new generation thanks to Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book "The Secret". From reading Steven Heller's "Monsters and Magical Sticks" in my late teens through to the recent "Soulcraft" by Bill Plotkin, I have ingested a steady stream of such thinking and while I can appreciate the slickness of Rhonda Byrne's packaging, I don't find a whole lot that's new in it. Having said that, I can immediately name three people (all women if that is significant) who claim to have had their lives significantly altered by reading "The Secret".
To that I can now add a fourth - Louise Langley, author of "The Sacred Quest". Louise begins her tale as she is contemplating a separation from a husband she admits has done nothing wrong. Clearly, however, there are fundamental spiritual and psychological changes taking place within the author's psyche and a constant thread through the book - admitted, as is so much else in this book, bravely and openly - is her emotional turmoil as she struggles to understand the changes that are ripping her old self apart. The number of times that someone (usually the author herself) is described as crying is phenomenal and the sense of a life turned upside down, palpable.

Review: The Temple #11
Monday, November 12 @ 22:55:25 GMT by Administrator (541 reads) | simon writes " I always regard The Temple booklet as being like a taster menu in your favourite posh restaurant. You know that you generally like what they serve but each new supplement brings its own surprises. The helpings are small but introduce you to ideas that you might not have ordered yourself. Some of the servings are complete in their own right but others point the way to a "full-size" version with the taster letting you know what you can expect from the bigger dish.
Thus it is with Issue 11 of The Temple...(Click on "Read More" below to see the full review).

'The Sacred Quest' Book
Sunday, September 09 @ 11:58:01 BST by Administrator (472 reads) | Simon writes "Here's a marketing ploy I haven't seen before - by buying (or pre-ordering to be precise) a copy of this new book on their website (http://www.thesacredquest.co.uk ) before the 30th September 2007, you become an Ether Founder Member. And then "once Ether Publishing and Ether Music Productions reach a certain size in terms of post tax profit, 10% of the company's post tax profits will be made available to and distributed equally amongst the Founder Members. This will be gifted on an ongoing and annual basis in recognition of the support of the Founder Members’ participation in the instigation of the companies."
Whether this is likely to result in any actual money coming your way I leave to your judgement. I suspect that many of the contributors to this site know how hard the publishing business can be and that they can fairly accurately assess the chances of being part of a big breakthrough bestseller.
All that marketing hype aside, however, the book itself looks like an interesting proposition. In what sounds like a postmodern Celestine Prophecy, "[a]s [the author] begins to write the book in full and follows implicitly her intuition, so the book quite literally manifests into reality around her as remarkable twists occur."
This theme ties in with the recent speculation of alternative quantum physicists such as Goswami that consciousness creates the universe around itself - a theme which has been echoed by the likes of Daniel Pinchbeck (whom I quote in relation to this elsewhere on this site) and Michael Glickman ("Thoughts seem to be effecting reality more than before.") Of course, this has long been the speculation of psychic questers (for example see the comments by Andrew Collins and Richard Ward concerning the brass box and the swords in the pQ Interview) so there's no surprises for us there. However, it is interesting to see the view become more mainstream and perhaps, like the Da Vinci code before it, this book will hit public consciousness at just the right moment."

Andrew Collins on Dreamland (gateway to Atlantis)
Monday, August 27 @ 00:56:14 BST by Administrator (435 reads) | Simon writes "I picked this up recently from Whitley Strieber's website. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet myself but it sounds interesting:
"In the year 2000, Andrew Collins published Gateway to Atlantis, proposing that the impact of a comet over the North America resulted in the end of the ice age 10,900 years ago, and destroyed Atlantis, an island empire in the Atlantic, in a single night.
Now, incredibly, corroboration has come from a group of scientists who have published in established scientific journals and written a book saying that the very disaster Andrew identified 7 years ago did indeed happen!"
For those of you who want to cut straight to the podcast the link is here: http://strieber.streamguys.net/081807.mp3 but they only stay up for a few weeks so you'll need to download it relatively quickly. "

Cara Louise Books - New website
Tuesday, August 07 @ 10:17:23 BST by Administrator (395 reads) | Simon writes "I've changed the Web Link for Cara Louise's website to her new site http://wwwcaralouisebooks.blogspot.com/.
Cara is republishing six works of children's short fiction which coincidentally (or not!) feature artwork from Yuri Leitch and the new site is definitely well worth a look."

Knights Templar Commemoration Event: Tickets Now Available
Saturday, May 26 @ 21:51:14 BST by Administrator (388 reads) | Simon writes "Oddvar Olsen at The Temple Booklet has been in touch to say that tickets are now available for the Knights Templar Commemoration event being held in Bristol on the 12-14th October.
The event, which starts on Friday evening and runs through until Sunday, features Yuri Leitch and Andrew Collins amongst its list of impressive speakers. Other familiar names (to this writer at least) include Paul Broadhurst, Tim Wallace-Murphy and Dr Helen Nicholson.
The timetable for the event is here: http://www.thetemplebooklet.co.uk/AgendaKT07.htm while extended information on the speakers and their topics can be found here: http://www.thetemplebooklet.co.uk/Speakers%20list.htm.
This looks like being a fascinating weekend for anyone engaged in alternative studies but particularly for those with an interest in the Templars. Tickets and accomodation are likely to sell out quickly so potential attendees are encouraged to buy early."

Release of Bloodline the Movie Inches Ever Closer
Thursday, May 10 @ 21:01:45 BST by Administrator (430 reads) | Simon writes "The people at Bloodline the Movie continue their teaser marketing campaign (which I'm not at all convinced is deliberate but which has successfully piqued our interest here at pQ.com). The news section now has some very dramatic pictures which appear to be the main addition since I last looked at it. Well worth a look for anyone who is interested in Rennes-le-Chateau or Holy Blood, Holy Grail type intrigues.
As there seems every likelihood of more updates I have set up a forum post -> here <- and will keep this updated in future rather than using the front page. The forum post also contains a poll to see what you think of the film and its theme up to now - so get voting!"

Andrew Collins on Dreamland and Coast to Coast AM
Friday, May 04 @ 08:03:00 BST by Administrator (419 reads) | simon writes "To tie in with the release of "The Cygnus Mystery" in the US, Andrew is appearing on a number of internet radio shows.
His next appearance is on Whitley Strieber's Dreamland on Saturday 12th May. Once the show has been broadcast you should be able to get a podcast here: http://www.unknowncountry.com/dreamland/. Do note that they only keep the last 4 weeks shows online so you'll need to download prior to the 9th June (approximately).
Andrew also appeared on George Noory's show last Monday to discuss the possible impact of the mysterious rays coming from Cygnus on the evolution of the human race. Andrew covered such topics as the Nephilim, DNA and the latest scientific discoveries regarding Cygnus.
The podcast from the show is hidden down a few levels but you should be able to get it directly from here: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2007/04/30.html "
