After what has been described as the best Psychic Questing Weekender yet, I am planning something new and very big. However, in order to make it work I need, as a first step, to get as many of your email addresses as possible.

These will not, ever, be passed on to anyone else. In fact I will even be keeping these separate from the normal pQ.com newsletter mailing list.

You can unsubscribe at any time. A permanent unsubscribe link is on the website and you will get reminders of this with any emails that get sent.

I know that many attendees at the Questing Weekender swapped details. Please pass this link to everyone you think may be interested so that they can subscribe.

You will not get many emails. Don't worry if things go quiet; the plan is to unleash something new around Christmas-time but this cannot happen unless we get everyone with an interest in Questing signed up first.

I hope you will join me and help create a stronger, more connected Questing community.

Many thanks, Simon Nugent

Anyone familiar with Andrew Collins' psychic-questing publications will have heard of Bernard, quite possibly the most talented direct-information psychic that Andrew has ever worked with.  He is most well known to us from The Black Alchemist books and The Seventh Sword, but he also produced a great deal of other information which has enormously influenced the directions of Andrew Collins work, including the finding of the cave complex at Giza.

Sadly, Bernard died in his sleep at 01:30 on Tuesday 30 March 2010 at the age of 70.  He is survived by his wife, daughter and grandchildren.  You can read Andrew Collins' tribute to him here:

Paul Weston has also written a piece about Bernard on his Avalonian Aeon blog here, which has a fantastic painting by Bernard adorning it:

As he ascends through the Empyrean Realms, let everyone who reads this raise a glass to this extraordinary man.

The International Alchemy Conference, claimed to be the largest gathering of alchemists for 500 years, is nearly upon us.  It runs from the 23-25 October in the LA Convention centre.  It's a little far for this writer but if any pQ.com members are attending, I'd be very interested to hear what you thought of it and would love to get a small review posted in the News (link on the left) or the Forums.

One of the keynote speakers is Dr Masaru Emoto, whose work with frozen water crystals has been featured in the movie "What the Bleep!" and who worked with Dean Radin on a triple-blind experiment that produced strong evidence for the ability of thought/intention to affect material reality (http://deanradin.blogspot.com/2009/01/water-crystal-replication-study.html ).

I mention this because I had previously and indepedently come across the idea of "altered/aesthetically beautiful" water as I followed another thread relating to the Icon Trail.  This was the work of Sepp Huber who has created devices which will act on the water, resulting, it is claimed, in a better quality solution akin to the intention-affected water observed by Dr Emoto.  Mr Huber is a genuine guy who is clearly passionate about his work and has the same intense energy that seems to characterise so many pioneering inventors.  His website (http://www.q-met.ch/English/English.html ) has got to be one of the least sales-y I've come across and yet is definitely worth a look.  Anything that can possibly reverse some of the harmful effects of modern living has to be valuable.

Following on from Supernaturalist's earlier post, this latest communication from Andrew Collins takes the Big Z to task for claiming to know that the caves existed when he really didn't (or did but is wishing to downplay their importance).  It looks like an argument that will run and run.

HAWASS ISSUES DISMISSAL CONCERNING COLLINS'S CAVE DISCOVERY -

ANDREW COLLINS RESPONDS

Dr Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, has now issued an official statement on what he calls "Collins' Cave Discovery". See 

http://www.drhawass.com/node/303

It was something that I had been expecting for some days.

However, what I read was unbelievable. Although Dr Hawass describes in some detail what we refer to as the Tomb of the Birds, in which the caves are to be found, there is nothing in what he says to convince me or anyone else that he had prior knowledge of the caves we entered and recorded for the first time in March 2008. In fact, there are a number of factual errors in his statement, which are inexcusable, and imply that he knows less than he is letting on. These are brought out in separate statements issued by myself and Nigel Skinner-Simpson, the two principal researchers involved in the cave discoveries. See below for my response and www.andrewcollins.com for Nigel's.

Andrew Collins has put together a short YouTube video that  provides the first glimpse of Giza's cave underworld first recorded on March 3rd, 2008:

Fascinating stuff.  You can leave any comments and rate the video, and join the TeamHanash channel so that you'll hear when the next video is released.  If you haven't already read it, Andrew Collins' website has the story of its discovery.  Click on News and scroll down - there is plenty on it, but I'd start by scrolling down to the Earthquest News for August 2009 (vol. 12, no.2).

Andrew Collins is a reasonably frequent guest of Whitley Streiber, and his latest appearance is broadcast from Sat 22 August 2009.  It will be available for 2 weeks from that date for non-subscribers to Unknown Country.  For subscribers Andrew has also done a special interview.  From Unknown Country:

This is one of the most important and valuable Dreamlands ever to be produced on the crop circle phenomenon. 2009 is the most intense crop circle season in history, and Andrew Collins is out with an astonishing new book that explores not only what they are but, more importantly, how we can contact the circlemakers and make use of the information and energy they have to offer.

It starts with the catastrophe, now supported by ever-stronger scientific evidence, that happened 12,600 years ago and was first suggested by Andrew in his book the Gods of Eden in 1998. From there it moves into the mysteries of ancient sites like the oldest known human habitation, Gobleki Tepi, in Turkey.

The adventure continues into the realm of conscious energy and how it may be influencing life on earth, and human evolution in particular.

High adventure with Andrew Collins and Whitley Strieber. Don't miss it!

Andrew Collins has done an interview for Ghostwoods.com.  Some interesting stuff in there, including some early biographical information about how he got into this crazy stuff in the first place.  Note this is a text interview, not audio.

Since spotting an advertisement for her first book, The Sacred Quest, in a Sunday paper a couple of years ago, I have been mesmerised by Louise Langley's one-woman revolution.

Louise is a human vortex of energy with music, workshops, TV appearances and video diaries all materialising in her wake. She has now just published her second book titled "The Ahqulieah Chronicles, The Flight of the Eagle" which once again tells the story of a woman trying to break out of her conventional role in society into a more spiritual space, of the conflict between the head and the heart that this creates and of the adventure that ensues when she exits the mainstream and follows the latter.

Like Yeats I wonder, "How do we know the dancer from the dance"? How much of the power is in observing the whirling dervish dance that Louise spins out. But this book gives us a snapshot of a point on the trajectory and details the progress made to date and delivers an insight into a more spiritual way of living that I believe is about to become a more commonplace occurrence. You can order it now from Louise's website here: The Ahqulieah Chronicles

If you are a writer, either for others or simply for yourself, then to learn how to tap into this source you should definitely check out Louise's "Write from the Heart" course.

You will be hearing a lot more about Louise's movements in the future on pQ.com but in the meantime these represent the best way of sampling some of that special Sacred Quest energy.

I received notification about this extremely interesting book via the Contact Us button. [Good to see that folk are already making use of it but if you really want to increase the spped and certainty of getting something mentioned on pQ.com then register and use the Quick Links to submit your own news items.] I will endeavour to find out some more about it but in the meantime here is the backgrounder from one of the authors.

The Book of English Magic is a 562 page hardback book which will be published by John Murray on 11th June 2009.

The image of the magician is exciting and tantalising, and familiar to us all. Think of Merlin or Gandalf and we think of excitement, mystery and adventure. But what do we feel or even know about real magicians – those figures who throughout history have practiced the kind of magic that for centuries was a forbidden art?
