JAMES GILLILAND, who has spent many years exploring the orb phenomenon, has confirmed his participation at The Palm Springs Orbs Prophets Conference to take place during the Spring Equinox March 21-23, 2008 at the Palm Springs Convention Center. www.greatmystery.org/events/ps08.html
Gilliland was raised in a small desert town spending most of his time in nature. Following a diverse education and a business career he experienced a near death experience, brought about by drowning, which opened his eyes to a larger picture. He saw the lack of love and joy in his life and his work. Success through material acquisition, the “American Dream”, was now seen for its emptiness. He realized that the temporary joy and pleasure possessions and outer appearances brought were not the goal and he began his inward journey. After experiencing the pure unconditional love and joy, “BLISS”, of connecting directly to the source during his NDE, he realized that all that mattered was to reconnect and maintain that contact.

This began a spiritual journey and 20 year quest which included 6 years of Yoga, The Inner Christ Ministry, and the Tibetan foundation were he was certified as being an intuitive visionary of the highest consciousness and energy. He has studied with other yogis, lamas, master teachers and continuously has been taught from within through his extensive practicing of meditation. He is a teacher, spiritual counselor, energetic healer, and published author, Becoming Gods 1 & 2. He was recently honored by a venerated teacher in the Lama traditions as ”Rigdzin Norbu” which translated means "Jewel of Pure Awareness".
Gilliland lived a semi-reclusive life since 1986 at the Sattva Sanctuary, a 70 acre mountain retreat located at the base of Mt. Adams in Trout Lake, Washington. The Sanctuary has been in operation since 1986 and has been recognized by many sensitives, intuitives, adepts, and masters of all walks for its spiritual qualities which greatly enhance and accelerate the awakening and healing process. The Sanctuary and those who participate are dedicated to the awakening and healing of Humanity and the Earth, body, mind and spirit.
Over the years Gilliland and others at the Sanctuary have experienced a multitude of orbs and a variety other phenomena that are responsive to human expression such as calling them into awareness.
