Who We Are
PSYCHOGNOSIA is a privately-funded, not-for-profit centre for the dissemination of reliable information on the scientific study of anomalous phenomena (parapsychology), consciousness studies and related areas. Topics of interest include reincarnation, past-life memories, poltergeist & haunting phenomena, mediumship, extra sensory perception (ESP), altered states of consciousness, out-of-body (OBE) & near-death (NDE) experiences, psychokinesis (PK), "intentional" healing; clairaudience and consciousness generally. Co-directors, John Knowles, M.A., and Linda Leblanc studied at the Institute for Parapsychology (Rhine Research Center), Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A. Leblanc is an accredited Gateway Outreach trainer of The Monroe Institute, developer of the world-renowned Hemi-Sync sound patterns that facilitate hemispheric synchronization of the brain.
Η ΨΥΧΟΓΝΩΣΙΑ είναι ένας μη προσοδοφόρος, μη κυβερνητικός οργανισμός ο οποίος συντηρείται από ιδιωτικούς πόρους, και σκοπό έχει τη διάδοση αξιόπιστων πληροφοριών σχετικά με ψυχικά και παραψυχολογικά φαινόμενα την ερεύνα στη συνειδητότητα και παρεμφερή θέματα. Με ειδίκευση στο τομέα της παραψυχολογίας (την επιστημονική μελέτη των ψυχικών φαινομένων) oι δύο συν-διευθυντές του, Τζων Νόουλς και Λίντα Λεμπλάνκ, συμπλήρωσαν τις σπουδές τους στο Ινστιτούτο παραψυχολογίας (Rhine Research Center) στο Ντούρχαμ της Βόρειας Καρολίνας, ΗΠΑ. Ανάμέσα στις πολλές άλλες ασχολίες τους, ο Νόουλς είναι ένας ειδικός ερευνητής των ΑΤΙΑ και η Λεμπλάνκ είναι αναγνωρισμένη εκπαιδεύτρια για το εργαστήρι της Πύλης Πρόσβασης (Gateway Outreach) του Ινστιτούτου Μονρόε (Monroe Institute), το οποίο ανέπτυξε το παγκοσμίου φήμης ηχητικό πρότυπο Hemi-Sync για την διευκόλυνση του συγχρονισμού των δύο ημισφαιρίων του εγκεφάλου.
Paphos on the Eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The Republic of Cyprus is unique as the crossroads of the Middle East and Europe, while sharing the characteristics of both. Rich in ancient history and
archaeological remains, Paphos is the mythological birthplace of the
Goddess Aphrodite (Venus). Cicero was Roman Governor of Cyprus based in Paphos, which was also visited by Saint Paul.
The public is frequently misled by biased, often skeptical, "debunking" news items or sensationalist media headlines that misrepresent the paranormal. Many current materialist, reductionist beliefs about the nature of reality are not compatible with psychic phenomena that clearly seem to transcend time and space. We believe that greater comprehension of psychic events will lead to a higher level of understanding of the nature of the universe and humanity's place in it.
Such publications include but are not limited to the following:
NEWS :
PSYCHOGNOSIA founders have completed a book project:
Reincarnation Cards - Awakening Far Memory
by John Marett Knowles & Linda Leblanc
The card and book set, Reincarnation Cards - Awakening Far Memory, by John Knowles and Linda Leblanc, has been called something new under the sun by author-lecturer John Anthony West, originator of the Age of the Sphinx controversy, and a stunning, consciousness-expanding work by the renowned transpersonal psychologist and educator, Dr. Stanley Krippner, in his Foreword to the book.
The authors seek to widen the perspective on reincarnation theory, by going beyond the often superficial, sensationalist handling of the subject. A quality, hardcover book accompanies the 61 professionally illustrated color cards, all designed to evoke “far memories” of both past and future incarnations. The book gives detailed instructions on how the cards are to be used to recall such far memories by following a carefully designed system embedded within this set, for which patents are pending.
The chapter The Evidence presents solid scientific, physical and anecdotal evidence for reincarnation. A summary of quantum physics breakthroughs and their relevance to understanding this phenomenon includes quotes from such respected scientists as Planck and Einstein. This approach provides a fresh look at the stunning implications of quantum physics for understanding the true nature of time, space, consciousness and the paranormal.
The advancing frontier of modern research, where science meets mysticism, confirms philosophic insights from the ageless past. By presenting a philosophical framework to bring greater clarity and understanding of reincarnational experiences, the authors enable readers independently to gain an insight into who they really are and their purpose in the universe.
