An Interview with Menorah Charney
The late Menorah Charney began her spiritual development in 1968, and in 1972 she was accepted as a student in the Arcane School studying the esoteric teachings and science of the energies as received by Alice Bailey from the Master D.K. --Dwhal Khul.
In 1977 Menorah formed the MPH - Meditation for Peace, Harmony and Creative Living Group in her home in Israel. When the group grew too big, she opened the Sheila Samson Centre of Enlightenment. Over the years of studying she developed spiritually, awakening her inner abilities to channel through telepathy, the messages from the Masters either by voice or writing. She also developed her inner talents as a spiritual healer becoming an instrument of the higher spiritual energies, learning to control her lower bodies.
Menorah was interviewed in August 2008 as part of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission for the Middle East which was launched in Israel and Palestine, where meetings were held with leading thinkers, academics, mystics, theologians, refugees, etc. to discuss their views on how to solve the crisis in relations between Israel and Palestine (and indirectly the Middle East in general), the focus being primarily on the philosophical, spiritual, intellectual and theological dimensions of the challenges of peacemaking.
A documentary is being made about the launch of the TRCME and some of the interviews and a trailer can be watched here.
Many thanks to Gila Haron of the MPH Group who enabled this interview to take place.

The Zeitgeist Movement (1hr. 37mins)
The Zeitgeist movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize divisionary notions such as nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. Rather, we see the world as one organism - with the human species as a singular family. Simultaneously they acknowledge that we depend entirely on our environment, not only in regard to the necessities of life such as food, air and water; but also for influence and guidance in regard to life's processes. They recognize and understand that aligning ourselves with natural processes is the most progressive and productive disposition we can have. The Zeitgeist movement in fact, is the activists arm of The Venus Project;
an organization which constitutes the lifelong work of industrial designer and social engineer
Jacque Fresco. (1hr. 37mins)
