Anthropology – Bronislaw Malinowski
Bronislaw Malinowski is renowned as one of anthropology's most skilled ethnographers. He is often referred to as the first researcher to bring anthropology "off the verandah" (also the name of a documentary about his work), that is, experiencing the everyday life of his subjects along with them. Most previous anthropologists had conducted fieldwork through structured interviews and did not mix with their research subjects in day-to-day life. Malinowski emphasised the importance of detailed participant observation and argued that anthropologists must have daily contact with their informants if they were to adequately record the "imponderabilia of everyday life" that were so important to understanding a different culture.

Terrence Mckenna - Timewave Zero
Terence McKenna theory of time, history and the end of history. This led eventually to a rigorous mathematical description of what Terence calls the timewave zero, which correlates time and history with the ebb and flow of novelty, which is intrinsic to the structure of time and hence of the temporal universe. A peculiarity of this correlation is that at a certain point a singularity is reached which is the end of history or at least is a transition to a suprahistorical order in which our ordinary conceptions of our world will be radically transformed. The best current estimate for the date of this point is December 21, 2012, the winter solstice of that year and also the end of the current era in the Mayan calendar.

Scalar Energy
non-Hertzian energy
The term scalar was used by Nikola Tesla at the end of the last century as a part of powerful non-Hertzian energy which he referred to as standing energy or cosmic waves. Albert Einstein gave reference to the scalar energies in the 1920s. Yet even today modern physics textbooks and scholarly publications rarely mention scalar energies. The electromagnetism that we know so much about has frequencies, wave action and motion that we can measure. Scalar energy is described to have zero frequencies, to be static, a stationary energy that therefore cannot be evaluated by our current frequency instruments.

When Corporations Wield Constitutional Rights Against Communities and People
CELDF was formed to provide free and affordable legal services to community - based groups and local governments working to protect their quality of life and the natural environment through building sustainable communities. Increasingly, that means teaming up with people and their municipal representatives to mount campaigns that challenge the legal clout of corporations to overrule decisions made by citizens for their communities. Our Daniel Pennock Democracy School teaches a new organizing strategy for communities, by first uncovering the hidden history of the usurpation of people’s decision-making authority. If we are going to make a difference, we're going to have to think and act differently. The Democracy School is now offered in locations across the country.

Psychology for the 21st Century
Steven H. Levy M.D, doctor specializing in Psychiatry reviews mainstream scientific opinion which holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in the brain. New science demonstrates with empirical evidence that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. Dr. Levy presents the case for an enlarged scientific paradigm that addresses psychology's great central problems and Blavatsky’s solutions; includes a consideration of out-of-body experience, and theosophical teachings of reincarnation, karma, the seven divisions of human nature and the reality of a Higher Self.
