Researchers have used the age when a child speaks his first word as a tool for identifying a new gene linked to autism. And the question of whether vaccines cause the condition just won’t go away.

Years ago, I interviewed a researcher who made a scientific study of what makes some people lucky. When you get into the film and TV biz, you find out that luck plays a major part in it.

Dr. Edgar Mitchell in one of his most moving and revealing interviews ever! Did you know that he grew up in Roswell, New Mexico?

Lynne McTaggart is the rarest of the rare. Like Edgar Mitchell, she has allowed what she observes in the world around her to open her scientifically trained mind to new horizons, and she is at her best here in this mind opening interview with Anne Strieber, whose gentle but incisive questioning leads her to talk about her work and her experience as never before.

Lynne is the creator of the Intention Experiment, one of the modern world’s most amazing and innovative efforts to use scientific methods to harness the power of human intention to cause change in the world.

Her website is www.theintentionexperiment.com.
