The fields of medicine and science are evolving rapidly, new fields such as quantum physics and energy medicine open more possibilities than ever that our consciousness, our thoughts, intentions and emotions can affect our body on a cellular level...I speculate that our consciousness can and does affect our DNA as well. These energy patterns can get imprinted in the DNA and in turn be passed along to future generations of cells, and future generations of family members. Watch your thoughts!

Given these possibilities, how can we positively influence our DNA and in turn improve our health, and emotional state of well being?

Last year, while I served as a staff reporter/columnist (specializing in real estate) for the Scottsdale Times and North Scottsdale Times, I heard from my friend Katherine that Jane Seymour would be exhibiting her artwork at some local galleries. Simic Galleries, I believe, who also shared rights to exhibit Seymour s work at affiliated galleries in Monterrey , California .

Jane had earned acclaim as a dynamic actress in numerous memorable films and television series including Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeves, the series Heart of Healing featuring Bill Moyers, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and the comedy Wedding Crashers. So I was curious to see how her creative energies express themselves in her work.

Seymour s works moved me, each had a distinctive energy, exuding an unmistakable depth and simplicity. I couldnt help but ask her for an interview. I politely approached myself to her publicist and then introduced myself to her. She agreed, and a week or so later, I conducted an interview.

The range of topics we covered in such a brief time, Janes life and work, during the interview, was too vast and a brief paragraph about Janes appearance in the Times and would not do it justice. I found Jane to be warm and personable, her courage and perseverance through adversity admirable, and I was especially impressed by the breadth of her creative accomplishments, as an actress, artist, designerwho gives back to humanitarian causes whenever she can.

When I presented the transcript to my venerable mentor Stan Krippner, he stated he would present it to the Dream Network where he served an advisorial role on the board. This journal wrote informally about anything and everything having to do with dreams and their applications.

Although the interview did not directly relate to Seymours dream life, she did have some anomalous dreamlike experiences during her surgery in which she found herself hovering over her body in a so-called near death experience (NDE) and for this reason her experiences would be relevant to the readers of the magazine. I am pleased with the interview and hope it provides you insight into a highly accomplished and creative actress with a deep appreciation for life.

In a future interview with Seymour I would like to explore the impact of Seymour’s dream life on her creative process as an actress and artist. Seymour has been interviewed many times but I have not yet seen any interview focusing on this aspect.

People have asked me this on more than one occasion. For years I have been working as a real estate entrepreneur. But before ever engaging in real estate I had a burning passion to explore and study consciousness. I suspect that always have and always will. I’ve always found myself on the cutting edge of whatever I did.

For example, as an undergraduate at Duke, I attended research meetings at the Rhine Research Center , formerly known as the Institute for Parapsychology. I interviewed research staff and published articles about parapsychology. I also ran a mind/body medicine study group for the university community, in which I invited leading edge health professionals to join me.

So I always had my awareness in leading edge consciousness and mind-body medicine research. I envisioned a future of possibilities. While involving myself with the Rhine Research Center , I witnessed first-hand the potential for psychic claimants to provide clues in helping police, government agencies, and industry sort through complex tasks.

While serving as an intern at the Monroe Institute in the summer of 1994, I delved into also explored out-of-body reports, personally, and also met Robert Monroe before he passed. (It is interesting to note that when he first had these curious experiences of floating above his body, Robert Monroe had met with J. B. Rhine, founder of the Rhine Research Center , in an attempt to understand his experiences.) While at the Monroe Institute, I also met Joe McMoneagle, a remote viewer who gathered intelligence for government agencies without directly using the five physical senses.

The next year, in 1995, while interning on Wall Street, at the investment banking firm J.P. Morgan, I kept wondering how extraordinary human abilities can applied to enhance the performance of employees, and ultimately, increase shareholder returns. Tom Bain, my manager and director of the HR division, was inspired by the possibilities. He co-sponsored my attendance of an “Intuition in Business” workshop hosted by Institute for Noetic Sciences (IONS) later that year in Denver , Colorado . Bain also mentioned that floor traders at the firm claim to use intuition (or their gut) to direct split second decisions that could not have rationally been thought through; if they hesitated or spent too much time cogitating, they would lose the trade!

This conference was sponsored by Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., innovator of the film series Thinking Allowed. There I encountered leaders in their field, for instance: Marcia Emery who actually taught intuition to various businesses; a gifted intuitive, Gigi Van Deckter, formerly a director and producer, who consulted to leaders of government and industry worldwide.

Having fulfilled all the required pre-med coursework, I applied to medical school with ambitions to become a medical doctor and transform the medical system. My professors gave me the highest letters of recommendation, given my stellar grades, hospital volunteer service, and publications. I was shocked to discover that I was waitlisted but not accepted…Later it was determined that I had been discouraged by my Dean because she considered me “too controversial” for medical schooling given my broad interests. It took me years to recover from the shock.

Meanwhile, I had become interested in real estate as a practical grounded way to free myself financially, fund my education, and invest. However, I always retained interest in mind-body medicine and consciousness studies, and kept thinking about I can integrate these two worlds together. One day I felt inspired to consult with an intuitively gifted strategist about my real estate dealings: Van Deckter. Although I did not know of any other American businesses and industries in which strategists were consulted, I did consider the broader historical perspective—leaders often turned to unconventional methods to gain additional clues in the decision-making process.

In the process of working with Van Deckter, I found post-hoc, her insights were helpful, whether or not they “predicted” the future. Typically the process of engaging with her in asking questions and probing possibilities helped me sort through many often ambiguous cues and arrive at a reasonable option.

My successes in working with Van Deckter piqued my curiosity about other possibilities. After moving to Arizona , I encountered Mami Wheeler, a gifted healer who performed “property clearings” by bringing in fresh positive energy into a property and removing any negative energy which might stand in the way of a fast sale. Interestingly, I observed that prospective buyers were much more attracted to homes in which we performed these clearings. Obviously, this observation is hard to prove scientifically: how can I compare results, side by side, of one house that was cleared with another home that was not? In truth, I am not making any scientific claims, I am merely describing my experience. At the very least, I am having fun approaching real estate from a unique angle.

Having had novel experiences involving real estate, I wondered how I can shape this into a manageable study suitable for a dissertation. So, I turned to the published literature. Fortunately, many studies have been done involving dreams, and few if any involving other esoteric aspects of real estate that I explored. My professor at the time, Stanley Krippner, suggested the topic “dreams in real estate.” Next he and Ruth mentioned at least two people who had significant dreams that foreshadowed the purchase of property. Suddenly the topic came to life – I realized that it would be feasible to find ten people to produce a solid body of case studies. Further, I realized that by conducting an in-depth interview, I might be able to capture what made the dream/real estate experience so meaningful to the dreamer.

Diving deeper into the literature, I found that a majority of the public surveyed either believe in ESP, believe they have had precognitive experiences, and that many of these extraordinary experiences had occurred in dreams. So the topic was conceived. And I am proud to share the results with you.
