NEWS OF A VERY SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT EVENT:

"OTHERWORLD REALITY:
Exploring the Ontological Status
of Imaginal Consciousness"

A major conference to be held at The Royal Society of Arts,
London, on 1 & 2 May, 1999. This conference will specifically
address the nature of the mental realm that is implicated in a
wide range of reported human experience, including: visionary
and mystical states; encounters with spirit beings; out-of-body
experiences; the abduction phenomenon; lucid dreaming; the
entities and worlds of hallucinogenic trance; remote viewing;
the mental environments of creative visionaries such as William
Blake. Are these mental states simply the mechanics of the
physical brain? Are they manifestations of the quantum sea? Are
they to be taken literally? Are they representations of another
dimension of reality?

Speakers from diverse disciplines will bring their knowledge to
bear on this question in an original way. The conference will be
plenary in nature, so that it can act as a single organism.
After all the presentations, a special panel will be convened in
order to identify any emergent factors, so that the conference
will act as a research tool in its own right.

Speakers will include:

DANAH ZOHAR
ALAN WORSLEY
JACQUES VALLEE
RICHARD STRASSMAN
RICHARD RUDGLEY
PETER ROJCEWICZ
DEAN RADIN
CHARLES LAUGHLIN

This is the first in a proposed annual series of new-style
conferences being introduced by THE CONSCIOUSNESS CONNECTION, of
which Paul Devereux is a founding member, which has been formed
to promote a greater convergence of thought within the field of
consciousness studies. Each conference will focus on one of the
more neglected questions in consciousness studies, so that
understanding can be moved forward to hopefully create a sum
greater than the parts.

TICKETS: #163#90/ $150. [Bookings after January 31, 1999:
#163#110/$175.] (With seating strictly limited, and preference
being given to 2-day delegates, any 1-day tickets (#163#60/$100)
will only be released close to conference date. If you want to
