The Most Dangerous Place on Earth : The Sanatorium of St. Michael

When I was writing the exorcism sections for  Bridge of Souls, I wanted to make the presentation of the material feel as realistic as possible. So, given my background in education, I set myself the task of designing the academic curriculum for a course that would equip Thomas O'Neill (and my readers) for the supernatural elements that were to come later in the story.

So was born the post-doctoral seminar programme titled, “Discarnate Intelligence: Theological and Historical Perspectives”. I located my fictional course at the Pontificia Università Gregoriana, or PUG in Rome. The highest seat of theological learning in the Roman Catholic Church.

But, once I had O'Neill attending the course, I was suddenly struck with a question.

What happens to the Exorcists who, in dealing with extraordinary influence of Evil (the theological definition of demonic possession), become themselves victims? I decided there should be a sanctuary that would tend to the care of these most unfortunate souls.

So was born one of my all time favourite places in the entire book, The Sanatorium of St. Michael. A place where even the most violent criminally insane would be afraid.

Forbidden Knowledge: Eastern Esoteric Traditions of Reincarnation, Consciousness and Death

Citipati, Lords of the Cemetery. Bardo Thödol. Tibetan Book of the Dead. If you have been following my posts you will already know that in writing Bridge of Souls I wanted to include, not just classic action and adventure, but also elements of the supernatural. And, when I say supernatural, I do not mean just made up hokum, as is so often the modern trend in supernatural fiction, but story elements that reflect genuine esoteric traditions and techniques. As you have gathered, mysteries have had a life long fascination for me. I have been fortunate enough in my working life to visit some of the most remote places on earth and meet some extraordinary people. During these travels I frequently came across reports of reincarnation and, when talking with advanced practitioners of esoteric paths, such as Raja Yoga , of specific techniques which manipulated the life force and consciousness. In researching these techniques I came across accounts of how advanced mysti...

Implications from Neuroscience on the future of literacy, literature and society

" ... research depicts how the present reading brain enables the development of some of our most important intellectual and affective processes: internalized knowledge, analogical reasoning, and inference; perspective-taking and empathy; critical analysis and the generation of insight. Research surfacing in many parts of the world now cautions that each of these essential “deep reading” processes may be under threat as we move into digital-based modes of reading" . I was recently reading an article by Maryanne Wolf , Director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice at UCLA. Wolf's article described research revealing how digital technologies have radically changed reading practices, leading to a reduced ability to comprehend the deeper meanings within text. Such a decline in reading comprehension has profound implications for knowledge acquisition (learning), reasoning (cognitive inference generation) and critical thinking. Beyon...
