Special Guest:
Dr. Charles Tart

The subject of this interview is primarily about his new book
The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal Is Bringing Science and Spirit Together.
Charles T. Tart. Tart pioneered the field of consciousness studies decades ago, with his classic best-selling anthology Altered States of Consciousness, in print for more than 20 years and selected by Common Boundary as one of the one hundred most influential psychology books of the twentieth century. Tart is credited with almost single-handedly legitimizing the study of altered states, including hypnosis, meditation, lucid dreaming and drug-induced states. He initiated several important lines of research in parapsychology, including teaching ESP and out-of-body experiences. His resume lists more than 250 articles in leading scientific and professional journals including Science and Nature, and numerous well-known books. His Transpersonal Psychologies (Harper & Row, 1975), for example, became the core text in the then new field of transpersonal psychology.

Steven Halpern is an award-winning composer, recording artist and producer whose healing music has helped millions worldwide to experience the blessings and benefits of deep relaxation and inner peace.  He is now considered the Father of Contemporary Healing music :

"I was that one person who was talking about the healing power

of sound and music and had the field pretty much to myself for 10 years.

Many people have been inspired by that and have started

doing their own work.  Now there's many other individuals who are doing

workshops on sound and healing and writing books."

CHAKRA SUITE, his debut release in 1975 helped establish a “quiet revolution” and a new genre in

contemporary instrumental music. To date it has sold over 700,000 copies. Halpern’s cumulative sales exceed 6 million units and his current releases continue to set the standard of excellence in the field.
