Psychic Phenomena: The World Beyond is a series of shows that will provide an overview of medicine, space exploration, our earthly environment, the arts, philosophies, and the superhighway of interactive communication technologies. How these subjects influence our lives will help us to understand our legacy as we go forward into the future. The programs will explore how occurrences of the past have caused the developments of today and even cast their shadows onto the horizon of tomorrow.
The programs will explore such subjects as the wonders and mysteries of our galaxy; primitive healing techniques; the importance of light in ancient healing traditions; how the mind is always creating the new and the different; and the fact that, even when we are sleeping, the mind is still creating. Also explored will be allopathic, homeopathic, brain/mind research, and an understanding of death and what lies beyond. Each program will show an aspect of our human condition and what possibilities we can create for the future of this planet and its inhabitants.
A demographic study indicates that the show has universal appeal. Its audience is almost evenly divided between men and women. The age span extends from teenagers to senior citizens.
The responses come from all walks of life: college professors, psychiatrists, medical doctors, beauticians, engineers, homemakers, and students.
Unique to television, network programming does not affect the show’s viewing audience. Its viewers are extremely dedicated. They appreciate the opportunity to see internationally famous guests interviewed by host Damien Simpson on subjects of human potential, the power of the mind, and the human creative ability.
About the Series Host, Damien Simpson
The series host was the late Damien Simpson, the founder of the Universal Mind Science Centers in Long Beach and Hollywood, California, who researched parapsychology for almost 20 years, constantly testing his own abilities, ultimately emerging as a teacher of great magnitude. Using psychology and science as a basis, intertwined with philosophy and theology to show how parapsychology relates to the untapped human potential, he has come to be recognized as an authority in the human potential field, having the support of many leading scientists, psychics, and researchers, along with many well-known theatrical people.
Simpson’s dynamic presentations earned him the reputation of personally touching each person in the audience. With his charismatic personality and sincere love of people, he took the complexities and paradoxes of man and his world on all levels and taught a commonsense, easily understood approach to life.
About the Series Producer, Elizabeth Caulder
Elizabeth Caulder has been involved in TV and radio productions that explore psychic and scientific phenomena since 1975, when she worked with the highly respected metaphysical teacher, Damien Simpson. She contacted the TV and radio host, convinced that Simpson’s teachings should be available to the public-at-large. She founded her own production firm in 1980 and produced such shows as “Success in the ’80s,” “Into the 21st Century,” and “Adventures in Life,” with co-producer Earl Beecher.
Caulder has produced shows featuring a plethora of human potential, including such luminaries as: Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, an expert on death and dying; Buckminster Fuller, author/scientist and inventor of the geodesic dome; Brugh Joy, author/teacher/scientist; Thelma Moss, UCLA researcher; Carl Simonton, developer of healing meditations for cancer patients; Shafica Karagulla, author of Breakthrough to Creativity; and Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, among numerous others.
