Dreams as a Window to Spiritual Transformation
October 9, 2024
Location: Santa Barbara, CA
Sponsor: Invited lecture to the IANDS Chapter of Santa Barbara
Paul & Maryann Sperry
The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) has long shared how near-death experiences (NDEs) and spiritually transformative experiences (STEs) often result in expanded awareness and changed lives. Lucid dreams as another form of STE can, when understood, reveal meaning and result in new epiphanies. Paul will describe a dream experience that resolved the trauma of a parental suicide, and Maryann will share a vivid dream that expanded her self-perception and personal empowerment.
Similarities Between NDE, UFO and ET Experiences
August 31, 2024
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Sponsor: Invited workshop at the annual IANDS International Conference
Paul Sperry with PMH Atwater, Rev. Catherine Chapey and Chris O’Connor
Increasingly, those who have had near-death experiences (NDEs) are disclosing extraterrestrial contact during or after their NDE. Panel members described their experiences, investigations and the implications of their NDEs to themselves and humanity at large.
IANDS 2024 Conference Panel to Contrast NDEs and ET Encounters
August 22, 2024
Location: Online
Sponsor: MasonWorks on behalf of the International Association for Near-Death Studies ( IANDS)
Paul Sperry interviewed by Kathy Mason
The increasing number of reported near-death experiences (NDEs) are opening us to the reality of non-physical experiences and the expression of consciousness in multiple forms. Many former UFO researchers have moved beyond phenomena to what an ET presence means for humanity. The reality of NDE experiences demonstrate that we are all connected, and as humanity comes to realize we have far more potential than once assumed, we can become more responsible in how we live our lives.

The Miracle of Water and How It is Being Used to Resolve Chronic Cell Disorders
March 22, 2024
Location: Avalon Ballroom, Boulder, CO
Sponsor: Society for Scientific Exploration (Boulder Chapter)
Paul Sperry, Victoria Albright, Bill Branson, Jr., and Dr. Glen Rein
Water is nature’s most magical compound and is critical to life itself, yet we take it for granted. Is it true that Earth’s water should be a gas, that ice should freeze from the bottom up, that it should smell bad, that it can be structured, store information, visibly reveal frequencies when frozen, use hydrogen bonding to achieve its unique properties or that water can be energetically infused? These are some of the qualities that render water more unique than is generally recognized.

How on Earth: The KGNU Science Show
June 13, 2023
KGNU Community Radio
Interview by Shelley Schlender
The Boulder Chapter of the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) has many fans among well-known scientists, but it also has critics who charge that the society’s work also promotes pseudo-science. We speak with Paul Sperry, co-founder of the local chapter, about why he values “fringe science” and how he believes more intuitive approaches to life and science can benefit scientific discovery.

Accepted Doctrine versus Inner Knowing: Which Do You Follow?
September 18, 2015
Location: Wolf Law Building, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO
Sponsor: Boulder Exo
The destruction of a learning environment or worldview valued by all sentient species is reported to be the one action of a resident civilization that invites intervention. Our distant forebears recognized and venerated Earth energies that project out into the cosmos in seeming connection with other intelligences. Rigorously exploring such concepts can be daunting when establishment science doesn’t recognize them and provides few tools for elucidation. Those who tackle these puzzling questions too often seek more of the same data when a broader spectrum is what is truly needed for any breakthrough. In this presentation, a local scientist will share how journeys to remote sites around the world have led to awakening and trusting subtle ways of knowing which when applied to accepted wisdom yields a more complete picture to paradigm shifts currently underway.

GMOs & Colorado Proposition 105
October 12, 2014
KVOR AM radio
Radio interview with Paul Sperry and others
GMOs: Seeking Clarity on a Complex Issue
September 10, 2014
Location: University of Colorado, Boulder, CO
Graduate class in Socio-Ecological Sustainability Leadership
Paul Sperry, Gene Milstein and Shirley Morgan
The questions surrounding genetically modified organisms are highly controversial and nearly impenetrable to the general population. Some claim that GMOs will revolutionize agriculture and feed the world while others point to the dangers of exploiting a technology we do not yet understand. The economic and societal potentials are huge, yet impacts may surface only after they are too late to remedy.
This presentation will seek to provide an objective overview and begin a non-political dialogue. Many questions remain unanswered, yet more has been researched than is commonly known. We will seek to sort out the facts from the fears in a process that may continue into the next year. This process underscores our SSE ideals in seeking to elucidate the complexities of our world from a rational point of view.
Investigating Earth’s Energy Lines
July 24, 2014
Location: Willoughby Art Images Gallery, Denver, CO
Sponsor: Foothills Spiritual Group
Paul Sperry will be this month’s presenter to our Foothills Spiritual Group. Paul has long been investigating Earth energies—working with the Mayans of Guatemala and Honduras, the Maori of New Zealand, the Navajo of Arizona and at other sacred sites in the Bahamas, England, Ireland, Ohio, Hawaii and Scotland. He has quietly been following his intuition as the purpose of his journeys has slowly emerged.
Paul will discuss energy grids that were once known by our ancestors and how and perhaps why they are now being rediscovered. Recognizing that planetary energetic channels mirror acupuncture meridians, Paul will describe how these energy nodes have been located, how they have been opened and what the implications may be. He will touch upon a collective unconscious that has been guiding many working with these sacred sites around our planet. Paul hopes to provide an overview of the topic, then open our gathering to a dialogue that may reveal more of what we collectively know.
GMOs: Seeking Clarity on a Complex Issue
December 13, 2013
Location: Millennium Harvest House Hotel, Boulder, CO
Sponsor: Society for Scientific Exploration (Boulder Chapter)

The question of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has passionate followings both for and against. Some claim that GMOs will revolutionize agriculture and feed the world while others point to the dangers of exploiting a technology we do not yet understand. This presentation will share the most reliable material we have found as we seek to elucidate the complexities of our world from a balanced point of view.
