A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER-PRESIDENT IIIHS FOR 2009<br />
SSF-IIIHS Founders<br />
IIIHS Founder<br />
Fr. John Rossner, PhD, DSc, DLitt<br />
Fr. John is Founder/President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

C1-S2; C1-S5; C2-S5<br />
In <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> severe challenges we face on earth today,<br />
many would say that <strong>the</strong>re shines a new light,<br />
for those who have <strong>the</strong> eyes to see and <strong>the</strong> ears to<br />
hear.<br />
Today, future sciences <strong>of</strong> consciousness & healing converge<br />
with <strong>the</strong> sublime insights <strong>of</strong> mystics, saints,<br />
and sages <strong>of</strong> many ancient religious and cultural traditions<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, East & West. This year, we shall<br />
hear again from pioneers in <strong>the</strong> natural sciences, social<br />
sciences, arts, medicine, psychiatry, and comparative<br />
religion dealing with this issue. <strong>The</strong>y will focus<br />
on impressions <strong>of</strong> a timeless awareness <strong>of</strong> a sublime,<br />
inner, guiding light, experienced by many, in various<br />
traditions throughout history.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Light shines in <strong>the</strong> <strong>darkness</strong>; but <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>darkness</strong> can nei<strong>the</strong>r comprehend it, nor put<br />
it out. This is <strong>the</strong> true Light which gives light<br />
to every person coming into <strong>the</strong> world.”<br />
N.T., John 1<br />
“Giver <strong>of</strong> Immortal Gladness, Lead Us to <strong>the</strong><br />
Light <strong>of</strong> Day.”<br />

SSF Founder<br />
Science and spirituality, faith and reason, plus intuition,<br />
urgently need each o<strong>the</strong>r to create a truly human<br />
and graceful existence. <strong>The</strong> ideas that religion<br />
can do without science, or that science can do without<br />
spirituality & ethics, or that reason can survive<br />
without intuition, have presented us with a potentially<br />
disastrous illusion at this point in human history.<br />
Millions throughout history have said that <strong>the</strong>y have<br />
experienced a sublime, eternal, and powerful inner<br />
light shining in <strong>the</strong> <strong>darkness</strong> for those who will welcome<br />
it with faith and confidence. That inner light is<br />
experienced as a source <strong>of</strong> joy, healing, and creativity,<br />
which allows one to thrive in <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> <strong>darkness</strong>.<br />

<strong>after</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>darkness</strong>,
SSF-IIIHS <strong>International</strong> Conference 2009 • Welcome<br />
IIIHS <strong>International</strong> Conference!<br />
<strong>The</strong> message from such personal experiences<br />
throughout history is fairly universal: that we can rise<br />
again from <strong>the</strong> potential cosmic disasters we have created.<br />
Come and explore with us what some leading<br />
thinkers from diverse religious, scientific, and cultural<br />
traditions have experienced as a way ahead toward<br />
restoration and healing.<br />
In this international conference, you will learn about<br />
<strong>the</strong> way and times when both new sciences and <strong>the</strong><br />
world’s religious traditions have contributed to, and<br />
reinforced each o<strong>the</strong>r’s development <strong>of</strong> positive insights<br />
and values. It is our belief that we have entered<br />
into a time when this is happening again, for<br />
“After <strong>the</strong> Darkness, Dawns a New Light.”<br />

<strong>the</strong>se children as adults, and documents <strong>the</strong> physical and psychological transformations<br />
resulting from NDE’s. Parting Visions, documents <strong>the</strong> entire range <strong>of</strong><br />
spiritual visions associated with NDE’s, and how <strong>the</strong>se experiences can help us<br />
understand death, grief, and <strong>the</strong> everyday spiritual miracles. Where God Lives<br />
explains how <strong>the</strong> brain can resonate with energetic patterns <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> universe to<br />
permit communications with <strong>the</strong> dead, viewing at a distance with <strong>the</strong> mind,<br />
past-life memories and premonitions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> future. In this presentation, Dr.<br />
Morse shows important connections in developing related skills and phenomena.<br />
