  1. The Original AI: Remembering Ancestral Intelligence

    The Original AI: Remembering Ancestral Intelligence

    As Artificial Intelligence rapidly reshapes the landscape of human possibility, an essential question arises: what forms of intelligence are we amplifying, and which are we at risk of forgetting? In my presentation, The Original AI: Remembering Ancestral Intelligence, I explore the enduring presence of a far older intelligence—one rooted not in code, but in culture, embodiment, and lived experience. Ancestral Intelligence is the accumulated wisdom carried through generations in story, ritual, symbol, and the deep knowing of the human body. It offers context, meaning, and ethical grounding—qualities that no algorithm can fully replicate. Rather than positioning these two forms of intelligence in opposition, this talk invites a deeper integration. As we build increasingly powerful external technologies, we are called to also cultivate our inner technologies—the capacities of awareness, attention, and connection that have guided humanity for millennia. Ancestral Intelligence reminds us that intelligence is not only about what we can create, but how we live, relate, and make meaning together. In a world shaped by Artificial Intelligence, it may be this original intelligence that helps ensure our future remains not only innovative, but deeply human... Listen to the full presentation Presented at the Anthropology of Consciousness Conference, April 2026 by Paul Robear, President / Executive Director, CUYA- Cuyamungue Institute.

    Sacred Architecture - A.T. (Tad) Mann

    Sacred Architecture is a re-discovery of our collective heritage, showing us how to understand the symbols of change provided by the buildings and monuments of our ancestors. The language of the sacred can be seen in buildings as diverse as the Parthenon, Hopi initiation lodges, Stonehenge, Temple at Luxor, the cathedrals and the Palladian memory theatre, in which astronomical, mythical geometric and structural patterns have been incorporated. From the early astrological and mythical influences which determined the location, form and function of early monuments.

    The Origins of an Ancient, Illuminated Secret Society - Dr. Obadiah Harris

    The existence of a secret society known as the Illuminati remains one of the most enduring conspiracy theories of modern times, however it has it’s very real foundation and history - the group itself was real.  The Order of the Illuminati was a secret group founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, who believed “the monarchy and the church were repressing freedom of thought”, Weishaupt “decided to find another form of ‘illumination’, a set of ideas and practices that could be applied to radically change the way European states were run. He based his society on the Freemasons, with a hierarchy and mysterious rituals, and named it the Order of Illuminati to reflect the enlightened ideals of its educated members. Dr. Obadiah Harris (1930 - 2019) had spent decades devoting himself to the wisdom traditions of the world.  His career spanned decades and included serving as a minister, a counselor, teacher, professor at New Mexico State University and Arizona State University, public speaker and author of several books. Beginning in 1991 he served as President of the Philosophical Research Society. He also was able to digitize the Manly Hall Library which makes it available to the world. During this process he was able to protect and repair several ancient texts. He retired in 2017 and was granted the title of President Emeritus by the Board of Directors of the Philosophical Research Society and UPR.

    Nikola Tesla: the Forgotten Genius Who Invented Electricity - Robert Lomas

    Nikola Tesla is the forgotten genius of electricity. He invented or laid the groundwork for many things we take for granted today. Everybody assumes that Thomas Edison devised electric light and domestic electricity supplies, that Guglielmo Marconi thought up radio and George Westinghouse built the world's first hydro-electric power station. not true.  The man who dreamt up these things also invented, inter-alia, the fluorescent light, seismology, a worldwide data communications network and a mechanical laxative. His name was Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American scientist, and his is without doubt this century's greatest unsung scientific hero. Robert Lomas is a British writer, physicist and business studies academic. He writes primarily about the history of Freemasonry as well as the Neolithic period, ancient engineering, and archaeoastronomy.

  6. Ancient Voices of the Rocks - Dr. Robert M. Schoch

    Ancient Voices of the Rocks - Dr. Robert M. Schoch

    Could the Egyptian Sphinx have been built many centuries earlier than conventional history would have us believe? Could the great natural disasters that propelled the evolution of life on Earth have played a dominant role as well in the rise and fall of civilizations? Could Earth have been home to civilizations far greater in number -- and far older -- than orthodox researchers have suspected?  From his geological analysis of the Sphinx,  Dr. Robert M. Schoch  draws a conclusion that he admits is controversial: that a technologically advanced civilization rose and faded in Egypt long before the time of the pyramids. Adding speculative science and drawing on myth, he asserts that other similarly advanced civilizations flourished around the world, only to be obliterated by global catastrophes brought on by a century-long rain of asteroid impacts. Similar cosmic storms strike once a millennium, he says, triggering or ending ice ages, causing floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of biblical proportion, precipitating shifts in the earths axis. Robert Milton Schoch is an American associate professor of Natural Sciences at the College of General Studies, Boston University.

    Mystical India: Awakening & Initiation - Dr. Donald Schnell

    Dr. Donald Schnell  tells stories where he says  he had extraordinary encounters, where saints and deities appear and offer guidance, and sacred objects materialize from thin air. It is a spiritual adventure  story that includes encounters with an Indian rabbi, levitating gurus, disappearing taxi drivers, and psychedelic (without the use of chemicals) mystical experiences. It is also the story of one man's quest for answers to the "big" questions: Who am I? Where do I fit in the universe? How can my life have meaning? How can I touch the infinite?

    Spiritual Solutions: Through Self Awareness & Healing - Wayne W Dyer

    When confronted with a problem, be it ill health, financial worries, or relationship difficulties, we often depend on intellect to solve it. In this radical book,  Wayne Dyer shares with us that there is an omnipotent spiritual force at our fingertips that contains the solution to our problems.   He walks us through a path of seeing and knowing that problems are only illusions created in our minds and that any possible problem that a person can encounter will literally evaporate by following simple life learning principles. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer was the bestselling author of 20 books and had a doctorate in counseling psychology. He lectured across the country to groups numbering in the thousands and appeared regularly on radio and television. He passed away in August of 2015.
