Maybe our 2005 guest speaker series and international symposium will help shed some light on these subjects. John lastly told the story of two brothers who on A New Stan Romanek Artist Rendering Stan Romanek recalled these beings under hypnotic regression. He called them possum people. If you are not familiar with this case, it is incredible. Symposium speaker Deborah Lindemann, CHT, performed the regression. She went over the case in her speech, which can be purchased in video or audio using the order form on the next page. Other as- pects of the regression are also discussed on Rense.com by people like Richard Hoagland. A general search on the web via a search engine should also bring up more information. Stan had given this picture to us at the Symposium, and has given us his permission to put it in the newsletter. He says he will keep us informed of further developments.
