In January of 2008, the citizens of Stephenville, Texas, were astounded to witness a series of unexplained lights and craft flying over their skies, chased by military jets.

These sightings set off a series of events that quickly became one of the most controversial and well documented UFO cases in US history.

Author Ken Cherry is a US Marine Corp. veteran, and former Texas State Director for MUFON – the Mutual UFO Network. At the time of the Stephenville event, he headed up a team of investigators that conducted extensive research and analysis of the mass sighting for an entire year.

Ken Cherry’s book, Mark Slade Investigates: The Stephenville UFO, which is based on real events is a hair-raising tale of secret underground installations, UFO’s, ET’s, Men in Black, sinister plots, and shadow government agencies vying for control of the country. Ken Cherry joins Sandie to reveal what he knows about UFO’s and other secrets the government doesn’t want you to know.

Have you ever stopped to consider what special, unique qualities you have to offer the world — what it is that comes naturally to you and through you?

According to Chetan Parkyn, just like the storyline of a book, or the theme music to a movie, there is a unique, consistent and recognizable theme, or undercurrent, to your entire lifetime. It is your song, your part in the symphony of life, and only you can play it.

An expert on Human Design, and the author of the first major book on the subject, Chetan Parkyn says that knowing and accepting your particular Life Theme is truly transformative. Embodying this awareness gives you reassurance and clarification about your life purpose. It is like when the penny drops, or the light bulb goes on, and you just ‘get it.’ You will no longer have to deal with misplaced expectations held over you by others, nor will you have to wonder why someone else is being moved to live in completely different ways than yourself, because you will understand the secret essence of what quietly moves you through life, and how to reach directly into the source of your own fulfillment.

This week, Chetan Parkyn joins Sandie to discuss his latest work, The Book of Destinies: Discover the Life you Were Born to Live, which reveals the final step in the Human Design system – 192 variations of Life Themes, which reveal to us the intended storyline of our lives.

Says, Parkyn, “like the coding in your genetics, your Life Theme is something that resonates within your whole being, on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. When you attune your awareness to your Life Theme, you will find it completely natural to embrace. You will finally understand your life’s purpose and journey, and once you know your own Life Theme you will be fascinated to learn the Themes of everyone in your life.

About the Guest Chetan Parkyn

CHETAN PARKYN is the author of the first major book on the subject, “Human Design, Discover the Person You Were Born to Be”, now in 11 languages, and has conducted over 5000 Human Design readings for people across the globe.

His latest book, “The Book of Destinies, Discover the Life You Were Born To Live.” which took 20 years to create, describes in depth, each of the 192 different Life Themes available for our life on Earth. Understanding your own very particular Life brings a personal awakening that is deeply transforming.

Chetan Park has traveled extensively throughout the world, and spent several years meditating with the enlightened mystic, Osho, who assisted him to recognize and expand on his own gifts — that of helping people develop self-knowledge.

Together with his wife and partner, Carola Eastwood, a gifted Reader and Life and Business Success Coach, Chetan offers readings, mentorship and multiple classes in Human Design for those who wish to study it at any level.

Buddha’s Diet: The Ancient Art Of Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind With Dan Zigmond And Tara Cottrell

Aired Thursday, 3 November 2016, 7:00 PM ET

There’s a lot we don’t know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha as thin. And before he became the “Enlightened One,” he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a “middle way” between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating more than 2,500 years ago were surprisingly simple.

Fast forward to today. Cutting Edge scientific research tells us something Buddha knew all along; it’s not what you eat, but when you eat that’s most important. You don’t need to follow the latest fads or give up your favorite foods. You just need to remember a few guidelines that Buddha provided – guidelines that, believe it or not, will help you lose weight, feel better, and stop obsessing about food.

Join Sandie Sedgbeer and guests Dan Zigmond and Tara Cottrell as they discuss:

* Buddha’s diet – what is it, and why is it so successful?
* How changing your eating clock is an ancient technique for wellness that Buddha recommended thousands of years ago.
* How to shut down emotional eating by separating the emotion from the food choice
* How changing your eating clock and aligning it with your circadian rhythm can bring balance and weight loss
* and more…

According to the latest evidence, everything we thought we knew about pyramids and the ancient civilizations that built them is wrong. In 2005, anthropology professor “Dr. Sam” Osmanagich discovered the first pyramids on European soil—the lost pyramids of Bosnia. After many thousands of hours of archaeological digging, sample testing, radiocarbon dating and several scientific conferences, this discovery shows that our view of the ancient past needs to be changed. The Bosnian Pyramids are the biggest and oldest pyramidal structures on the planet. Despite obstacles from cultural, media and political establishments, this project has grown to be the most active archaeological site anywhere, and yet, many well-known names in the archeological community still refuse to acknowledge that the Bosnian Pyramids are real. What are they afraid of?

Dr. Semir Osmanagich joins Sandie to discuss the Bosnian Pyramids, and share the riveting evidence he’s uncovered about their age, purpose and potential healing power.

Biomimicry – What We Can Learn From Nature Can Save Our World with Janine M. Benyus

Aired Thursday, 13 October 2016, 7:00 PM ET

Nature is far more wondrous that we think – in fact, as scientists across the globe are proving, the natural world is full of hidden design clues that can save our world. Biomimicry is a revolutionary new science that analyzes nature’s best ideas – spider silk and prairie grass, seashells and brain cells – and adapts them for human use. In her seminal book, Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, science writer Janine Benyus reveals how nature is offering real solutions to human design challenges that can help us save our world– from creating toxin-free materials, to developing waste-free products and systems, to building entire cities that function like Redwood forests.

Topics will include:

* What leaves can teach us about gathering energy
* What spiders can teach us about weaving fibers
* What chimps can teach us about healing ourselves
* And much more…

About the Guest Janine M. Benyus

JANINE BENYUS is a biologist, author, innovation consultant, and self-proclaimed “nature nerd.” In her 1997 book, Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, she names an emerging discipline that emulates nature’s designs and processes (e.g., solar cells that mimic leaves) to create a healthier, more sustainable planet. Since the book’s release, Janine has evolved the practice of biomimicry, speaking around the world about what we can learn from the genius that surrounds us.

In 1998, Janine co-founded the world’s first bio-inspired consultancy, Biomimicry 3.8 (formerly the Biomimicry Guild), bringing nature’s sustainable designs to 250+ clients including Boeing, Colgate-Palmolive, Nike, General Electric, Herman Miller, HOK architects, IDEO, Interface, Natura, Procter and Gamble, Levi’s, Kohler, and General Mills.

In 2006, she co-founded the Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit dedicated to making biology a natural part of the design process. The Institute hosts annual global biomimicry design challenges on massive sustainability problems, mobilizing tens of thousands of students and practitioners through the Global Biomimicry Network to solve those challenges, and providing those practitioners with the world’s most comprehensive biomimicry inspiration database, AskNature, to use as a starting place.

In the past few years the world has witnessed changes in social consciousness whose sudden development the ruling scientific paradigm has not been able to explain. These changes correspond with the activation of new Waves of Creation emanating from the center of the universe that influence human thinking. From the Big Bang to the present, these Waves guide the evolution of the universe and, through their holographic resonance with the human mind, profoundly shape revolutions in religion, technology, economy, and social consciousness.

In his latest book The Nine Waves of Creation, Carl Calleman explains the quantum physics behind the Waves of the Mayan Calendar system and how these Waves allow us to understand the shifting eras on Earth as well as the possibilities of the future. He describes how, prior to the activation of the 6th Wave in 3115 BCE, our social systems were based on a unified cosmic order, but the hologram of this Wave shifted society to an all-consuming focus on Good and Evil, leading to the rise of patriarchal religious structures, slavery, and warfare. He explores how later Waves and their new holograms helped humanity survive the negative effects of the 6th Wave, such as the Industrial Revolution of the 7th Wave and the Digital Revolution of the 8th Wave. In 2011, the 9th Wave was activated, bringing with it an accelerated push for a more egalitarian world, a rising awareness of unity consciousness, and access to the full power of all Nine Waves of Creation.

In this program, Sandie Sedgbeer and Carl Calleman discuss how our individual resonance with each Wave plays a role in the quality of our lives and how we must consciously work to resonate with the higher Waves. Topics include:

* What is the 9th Wave?
* What is happening in the world today?
* How the Waves of the Mayan Calendar System and their holograms shape our human minds
* How we can help manifest the destiny of humanity hinted at in ancient texts
* And more…
