Times Square to get a Close Look at Consciousness Science When Video Brings Questions About the Mind, Physics, and Reality to Main Street

Petaluma, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011

Millions of visitors to Times Square are in for a riveting encounter beginning today when the beguiling face of a child, blue and tattooed to represent multiple worldviews, fills a giant video screen to ask some of the most taboo questions studied by science.

Is there life after death? Do our thoughts have the power to heal? Can we see into the future? These are the questions that ignite scientific inquiry at one of the worlds most renowned yet relatively obscure consciousness research institutes. The Institute of Noetic Sciences(IONS) hopes they also will awe and inspire a large tourist population to inquire about consciousness research and to support its research and education programs.

"We need an emerging population of supporters to ensure our longevity and to help consciousness research continue to benefit future generations, said IONS' CEO Dr. Marilyn Schlitz. For information about supporting IONS, visit http://www.noetic.org.

IONS also expects the ads sponsorship by popular retailer Mens Wearhouse, together with massive public exposure, will help neutralize the taboo sentiment sometimes associated with consciousness research. To answer the video's questions about consciousness, IONS has set up a special website page and implemented a members' live talk teleseminar series.

The Times Square appearance is the second time in the last two years that IONS has gained widespread public exposure. Dan Browns best-selling novel "The Lost Symbol," published in September 2009, prominently features the organization and the benefits of consciousness science to social and humanitarian good.

Nudging the Tipping Point

We are at a tipping point in consciousness research, said Dr. Schlitz, a PhD anthropologist and social and behavioral psychologist. Research overwhelmingly supports a more universal belief system that includes mind-body interaction, emotional and intuitive intelligence, spiritual engagement, ancient cosmologies, and psychic insight. We have come to Times Square to nudge that tipping point toward a more profound beneficial influence on a culture seeking new hope for humanity, she said.

According to Dr. Schlitz, who, with her colleagues at IONS, pioneered consciousness research methods that adhere to standard research protocols, While science has explored the powers and potentials of consciousness for centuries, our research has gained legitimacy in the last few decades as real, tangible benefits have been applied to modern institutions like medicine, personal and mental health, social services, business, and sustainability efforts.

"At the same time, more people are better educated, social taboos are abating, the media is more democratic, and the public has unlimited access to information," she said. "These conditions translate into more scientists openly reporting their consciousness research, mainstream science journals publishing it, and traditional and emerging media feeding the publics increasing interest in it."

About 55 percent of Americans believe in the healing powers of the mind, and three quarters believe in at least one paranormal phenomenon - 41 percent citing extrasensory perception (ESP), according to a 2005 Gallup survey.

The 15-second video advertisement debuted today on the CBS 26 X 20 (570 square feet) Spectacular screen on Times Squares 42nd street. It will appear every hour for 18 hours for 90 days.

IONS Mysteries of Consciousness teleseminars series is for members who support the institute at the $ 10/month level and above. The live talks host consciousness science visionaries who explore transformational shifts in consciousness resulting from telepathy, extra sensory perception, precognition, spiritual intelligence, and remarkable experiences that lead ordinary people to perform extraordinary deeds.

About the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)

The Institute of Noetic Sciences, founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research, education, and membership organization that supports individual and collective transformation through consciousness research, educational outreach, and engaging a global learning community in the realization of our human potential.

Wall Street Financial Thriller THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN by Peter Thomas Senese Captivates Readers Available In Spanish, Italian, and French December 1st, 2011

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 07, 2011

In best-selling author Peter Thomas Senese's Wall Street thriller titled THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, the words, 'There is a small patch of land in New York City that may have more symbolic meaning of what is America than any other place. Deep in the frenetic canyons of capitalism, surrounded by glass and concrete and steel that is the framework of the towering structures known as Wall Street, nothing ever is what it appears to be."

Senese's words ring especially true as his electrifying financial thriller depicting how the American banking system is consistently under attack by nations and their fanatical leaders who seek a new world order in the Post 9-11 aftermath have caused many critics to praise THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN as an extraordinary international financial espionage thriller steeped in the modern-day realities of our today's global world, providing the story a visceral prescience teeming with realism and frightful possibilities of global cyber and biological terrorism, and Peter Senese as a masterful writer of international intrigue.

THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, presently available in hardcover and E-book in English, will be released on E-book in Spanish, Italian, and French on December 1st, 2011.

The multi-dimensional plots is set on Wall Street and is based upon historical events that jettison the reader on a thrilling global geopolitical journey into the hidden and unseen worlds that exists within nations that have highly questionable agendas towards the United States and the West, including but not limited to China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And it is here, in these hidden worlds that disturbing plans that stand against America and the West's idea of liberty and freedom are carefully hatched and cultivated. Most concerning, as each nation has become more reliant on one another in our global society, a new level of extraordinary vulnerability to our national security has been created, one perhaps we may not be prepared for. In THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN, believe readers will find the uniquely accurate information on this subject that is carefully weaved through an intricate, entertaining storyline to be quite fascinating - and disturbing.

Peter Thomas Senese commented, "In THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN it was my hope and intent to create a historical novel readers will not want to put down due to a cleverly created plot combined with a high dose of important facts and information that I believe important to share that when combined drives the story in a way that both entertains, educates, and causes my readers to think about the subject matter presented. Specifically, I do think each nation, particularly the United States, needs to be thinking about our vulnerability to new forms of terrorism and warfare, particularly biological and cyber-warfare. The reality is there are nations including China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran who would like to see America fail and who have created legions of cyber-warfare experts while also spending great resources on biological and chemical warfare."

THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN opens in New York City, where an unassuming investment banker, Tyler Boxter, is preoccupied with his all-consuming career on Wall Street that acts as a personal shield against the trappings of life that hide guilt and pain and memories he doesn't want. In the midst of the biggest deal of his successful career, and unknown to Boxter, he is about to play a sophisticated but explosive game against a madman who is more savage and merciless than the winds of an atomic holocaust.

Once a mysterious theft leads Boxter from the sanctity of his Wall Street office and thrusts him into the dark world of international terrorism -- where zealot religious leaders stir and awaken hateful minds in the brutal desserts in the capitol of the Middle East's ancient, once mighty empire, where dark, sunken eyes eager to return to world-glory look into the abyss of Siberia's desolate terrains, where prisoners -citizens- who live on a remote peninsula in Asia would rather submit to isolationist cleansing than feel the wrath of a deceitful troll intent on destroying the ideals of the West - and where a city of scientists continue their unseen diabolical activity deep in the earth and protected by the menacing walls that surround the Forbidden City - knowing that what they have embarked upon is the West's greatest nightmare.

THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN(hardcover) is available wherever books are sold and also available in E-book at traditional online retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Peter Thomas Senese added, "I am thrilled to know that my writing is reaching audiences all over the world. Having THE DEN OF THE ASSASSIN in available in multiple languages on E-book further allows me to reach a wonderful and growing fan base. This is an exciting time in the world of publishing."
