Michael Tamura

On Thursday evening April 11 at 6:30 pm, the public is invited to attend a lecture with Michael Tamura, author, spiritual teacher and clairvoyant visionary about his THREE Near-Death Experiences titled: Three Deaths and No Funeral.  The lecture will be held at Unity of Tucson located at 3617 Camino Blanco in their main auditorium.

On August 10, 2011, while he was at his gym working out on the elliptical machine, Michael Tamura dropped dead for the third time in his life when his heart just stopped.  The first medical responder estimated that he had less than a 4% chance of survival even after the paramedics were able to kick-start his heart some ten minutes after he was found on the floor without a pulse.

While Michael was in emergency surgery, doctors, nurses, and even a priest told his wife that if he should survive, he would not be the same man she knew – he would be brain damaged.  Only a faith healer, a friend, coming out of a deep prayer healing session told his wife, “The Holy Spirit said that Michael will return with no brain damage at all.”

Michael Tamura did return for a third time, mentally not only intact, but more aware and inspired.  When first asked what he would like to say to everyone awaiting word from him, he laughed and said, “The body gets all the press, but, it’s the spirit that matters.”

In his lecture this coming Thursday you will hear much wit and wisdom in his inspiring talk on choosing how to die, the practice of dying, and what it means to live the miracle as an immortal soul while we are still incarnated in this world.

Mr. Tamura has died three times – and returned each time with more of life to share.  Although there are a growing number of case studies of those who have returned to physical life after their clinical deaths, few, if any, had been living aware of themselves as immortal souls, regularly teaching out-of-the-body spiritually, and practicing how to die correctly for years prior to their death or near-death experiences.

Michael had been consciously doing all of these things and more as a spiritual teacher, healer, and clairvoyant for over 32 years by the time that he had his first experience of physically dying in 2006.

Born and raised in Japan, yet educated in American schools, Mr. Tamura has spent a lifetime bridging gaps: Not only between East and West, but between men and women, the young and old, heart and soul, life and the afterlife – and, above all, between humanity and Divinity. He is known around the world as a spiritual teacher, clairvoyant visionary, and pioneer of healing and psychic development.

Michael has been featured on CNN, NBC’s The Leeza Show, The New Ricki Lake Show, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Gaiam TV, The Aware Show, Hay House Radio, and many other media programs. He was also included in ABC News’ The Century: America’s Time with Peter Jennings. Currently in production is a documentary film featuring Michael and his three profound death experiences.

Michael appeared as a guest expert in the film, The Indigo Evolution.  As a pioneer in the field of spiritual healing and psychic development, his insightful articles have been published in magazines internationally.  He also wrote the final chapter, “Nourishing the Soul of the Psychic Child” in James Twyman’s book, Messages From Thomas: Raising Psychic Children as well as the first chapter in Susan Suntree’s anthology, The Wisdom of the East.

Today, the award-winning author of YOU ARE THE ANSWER, is working on his latest book, THREE TIMES DEAD and What It Taught Me: A Journey Into the Heart of Wisdom, as he continues to provide psychic tools and spiritual practices to illuminate the way home for awakening souls.

I am sure there are many skeptics reading this material that are not convinced there is life after death or that some people have healing abilities or clairvoyant visionary ability. These people are invited to attend his lecture and ask questions after his talk as has been standard practice at all the guest speaker series of NDE lectures provided by the Tucson Chapter of IANDS. It is recommended you arrive early to assure a seat in this popular lecture series.

Anita Moorjani

The public is invited to see Anita Moorjani speak about her near-death experience and cure from terminal cancer that astounded the medical profession around the world. This lecture by Mrs. Moorjani is part of a series of NDE presentations by the Tucson chapter of IANDS (International Association for Near Death Studies).

The presentation will take place at the Jewish Community Center in Tucson this Thursday, March 21 at 6:30 PM.  The audience will be totally amazed to hear from someone that was in the final days of life in a condition hard to comprehend.  After her Near-Death Experience she became completely cured and testifies that there is life after death.

In April 2002, Anita Moorjani was diagnosed with lymphoma and for four years struggled to fight the disease by exploring many potential cures. Some worked for a short while but eventually her organs started shutting down.  After a few years at Stage 4b, her body stopped absorbing nutrients and her muscles wasted away until she could not walk and was wheel chair bound.  Her head hung from her neck like an oversized bowling ball and she could not breathe without a portable oxygen tank that never left her side.  Her husband stayed awake to make sure she did not stop breathing during the night.

During what was thought to be her final days alive she was rushed to the hospital. She had tumors the size of lemons throughout her lymphatic system from the base of her skull to below her abdomen. Her brain was filled with fluid as were her lungs. Her skin had developed lesions that were weeping with toxins. The doctors informed her family members that she would not be alive much longer after she dropped into a coma for over 30 hours. This is when she had her near-death experience that transformed her life forever.

When she came back to conscientiousness, she knew she would be healthy again. Within two weeks the doctors let her leave the hospital as she was totally cured with no evidence of cancer in her body. Medical professionals are astounded by this miraculous recovery.

Anita Moorjani was born in Singapore of Hindu parents from India, moved to Hong Kong at the age of two, and has lived in Hong Kong most of her life. As a result of her near-death experience, Anita speaks at conferences and events around the globe to share her insights.  This is a unique opportunity for Tucsonans to hear of her amazing recovery and to hear the “why” she feels that she developed the cancer.

Her fascinating and moving near-death experience in early 2006 tremendously changed her perspective on life, and her work is now ingrained with the deep insights she gained while in the other realm. She shares much of her personal story and transformation in her bestselling book: Dying To Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing.

This is a rare event for Tucson to have an opportunity to hear this extraordinary story from someone that faced death and experienced the knowledge there is life after death. Anita Moorjani will be available for book signings after the talk.

LOCATION: Jewish Community Center auditorium at 3800 E. River Rd.

DATE & TIME OF EVENT: Thursday, March 21,6:30 p.m. (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.)

ADMISSION: $5.00 – seats on a first come basis (come early).

This is an interview from the popular Dr. Wayne Dyer’s blog.  He is the person that brought Anita’s story to the public for the first time.

http://drwaynedyer.blogspot.com/2011/08/anita-moorjani-interview.html

A “near death experience” changed a Colorado cowboy to become a Hawai’ian Kahuna priest. In the spring of 1982, when Arthur Costello was 34 years old, he was in a flooded crawlspace under his home when caught in the grip of 30 amps of electricity powered by 220 volts from an electric hot water heater that had shorted out in the water.

When his ‘lifeless’ body was pulled from under the house his back was broken in 4 places, and his hips, shoulder joints, heart, and brain were all severely damaged. He suffered a second near-death experience two years later when his heart stopped beating properly due to the electrical damage.

On Thursday, January 10 at 6:30 PM the public is invited to attend an amazing NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE lecture by Lono, a Kahuna priest, presented by TIES  http://www.tucsoniands.org) of Tucson. It will be held at Unity of Tucson located at 3617 N. Camino Blanco. (Off River Road between Swan and Craycroft) All events (except workshops) are offered for a $5 suggested donation (no one is turned away).

During both of these powerful NDE experiences transformed  a man’s life and set the stage for his life’s work. Arthur Costello was born in 1948 in a small mountain town in Colorado called Salida. From his earliest years he knew he was born to be a priest. He talked about it so much that his parents sent him to a Benedictine Monastery when he was 13 years old. When he was 18 he left not only the monastery, but also the Catholic Church. He felt he had to do this because he wasn’t able to reconcile what he had been taught in the monastery with truth as he was beginning to see it.

As transformative as these experiences were for Mr. Costello, there was more to come. After moving to Hawai’i in the early summer of 1992, Costello and his wife Lani were “found” by members of an old world Hawai’ian clan known as the Mo’o.

The Mo’o are the remnants of a nearly forgotten people who thrived for nearly 2,000 years before an invasion from Tahiti in 1,250 AD destroyed their enlightened culture and replaced it with the bloodthirsty reign of the Ali’i kings.

He and his wife were told they were the “new world brother and sister that had been expected by the Mo’o.” The representatives of this ancient clan said they recognized Lono (Mr. Costello) because he was teaching their Message which had never been written before. He was using certain words in certain ways and teaching concepts in ways only members of their priesthood clan knew. Because of this, they not only knew who Lono was, but also that he had been born to fulfill, renew, and spread the ancient Mo’o Message to people across the world.

After three months of living, learning, and sharing with these magical people, Lono and Lani were formally adopted by them, given their names, and ordained kahuna priests. Lono was ordained Kahuna Kupua A’o meaning “Master Teacher of the Light” and Lani was ordained Kahuna Kupua Pule meaning “Master Teacher of Prayer.”

To the Mo’o, Lono was the fulfillment a prophecy. Before the Tahitian invasion the indigenous Hawai’ians had lived in a balanced, happy, and abundant society without kings, war, or much in the way of crime. It was a culture founded upon the principles and skills taught by a system of wisdom they called Ho’ala Huna meaning “The Secret Knowledge of That Which Is Real.” After the invasion, the Ali’i marked all Mo’o priests and their families for execution and this precious wisdom became a closely guarded secret passed down through generations.

The surviving Mo’o made the preservation of this wisdom a most sacred trust. Their prophecy was that there would come a time when a priest from the Light/New World would be reunited with a priesthood brother from the Dark/Old World in a certain place on the Big Island of Hawai’i. This meeting would mark the rebirth of a powerful healing message to a world in pain. It would happen when this message could “fly around the world as if on wings of a bird.”

Shortly, after their ordinations, Lono and Lani were sent back to the United States to lay the foundation for the movement of Ho’ala Huna into the modern world. Since that time in 1992 they have dedicated their lives to integrating these ancient teachings into western society by teaching classes and seminars, leading retreats, writing books and articles, and building an extensive website in preparation to disseminate the wisdom to larger audiences.

Those individuals who take the time to master Ho’ala Huna lessons find a deeply increased sense of personal freedom and peace and an increased ability to make a powerful difference in our world. Ho’ala and Huna are Hawai’ian words that mean “that which causes an awakening to the secret/sacred knowledge of that which is real.

Jeff Olsen and his son at the grave site.

In 1997, Jeff Olsen, experienced a catastrophic automobile accident which caused the instant death of his wife and youngest son and multiple life threatening injuries to him. The devastating accident crushed both his legs resulting in his left leg being amputated above the knee. At that time, Jeff had a profound near death experience deepening his spirituality and gave him insights and gifts not common in today’s world. Having that glimpse into heaven gave him the courage he needed to carry on and care for his son that lived through the accident.

Jeff Olsen’s former wife and child that died in the accident

This Thursday, December 13, Jeff Olsen will be the guest speaker in the 2012 – 2013 TIES Guest Speaker Series.  At Thursday’s lecture you will hear how Jeff’s NDE contributed to overcoming the unfathomable grief and physical challenges he experienced.  Jeff has just released a book describing his experience and recovery entitled “I Knew Their Hearts: The Amazing True Story of a Journey Beyond the Veil to Learn the Silent Language of the Heart”.  Mr. Olsen will sign copies of his book after this Thursday’s presentation.

Mr. Olsen has since remarried and adopted two more sons. Jeff’s greatest joy comes from being a husband and father. He is a visionary man whose experiences have left him with deep spiritual insights and an ability to love more fully. His mission is to assist people in consciously embracing who they are and the connection they share with others and the universe. He is best described as simply a friend and brother, dedicated to truth, love, and unity.

More people then ever converged into three convention centers in Las Vegas last week for the annual Consumer Electronics Show to see the latest products for the year.  The show was so big, it was impossible to see everything, and your humble TucsonCitizen.com writer had the privilege to be one of the 153,000 attendees.

There were no big new technologies introduced this year, but it did more clearly define 4 trends in the convergence between technologies and the way we will communicate.

• 3D: Manufactures continue to push 3D into people’s homes, when it is not gaining traction.  There were 3D tablets, which are currently only available in China.  Good news is glasses were not required.  SONY (PlayStation) and Microsoft (XBOX 360) showed new games that are in 3D.

• Size of TVs: A TV maybe a TV, but the 60-inch screen will be a second thought a year from now.  Samsung and SHARP both showed 70 and 80-inch TVs at the show.  Expect your friend or family member who bought that 60-inch few years ago to have a 70-80 inch by next football season.

• SMART TVs/Internet Connected TVs:  Most of you already have this feature on your TV, but do not realize it. Per a YAHOO! Connected TV representative I spoke to at CES, a million are using it, out of 9 million who current have the product.  It is getting more common, and more known mainstream.The number of apps (apps like on smart phones) is rapidly expanding, so is the amount streaming media services.  Some have a Netflix button on the remote.
  Social media integration is increasing, and interactivity, such as polling, is increasing.
  Web browsing is new this year. Since most will be flash enabled, you will be able to watch your favorite illegal feed on TV without the computer hook up.
  In my opinion, this will have the biggest impact on the average consumer next few years.  This was one of many items at CES where if you saw one, you saw them all.

• Microsoft in the Cell Phone Space:  Microsoft made their final appearance at CES this year.  They were not only pushing the new Windows 8, but also their mobile operating system.  It is expanding to more phones, including Nokia.  Look for them to be a bigger player in a year.  On a side note, BlackBerry was promoting their new operating system, with an expanding apps store.  It was obvious playing catch-up, and the long-term stability of the company is still in question.

It was easy to attend CES and be amazed with the technology available these days, but how much of it do we really need? SlingBox and DISH Network showed products where you will be able to watch live TV on the go, such as your laptop or tablet.  What if you are stuck at an airport with a device low on battery power, but see few power plugs.  All that new technology sure helps!

Technology maybe a novelty, but from how quickly it is progressing, it be nice if we get back to basics, like powering our devices (power plugs??).  Then again, do we really need all of this?
