Implications for Human Potentiality: Ascension - Rainbow Body Attainment - Incorruptibility of the Body after Death – New Science
“A new paradigm in science is arising out from the last 30 years of Shroud of Turin Research. It is an amazing object of great antiquity that like love itself, if understood would eliminate religion and open us to truth and spirit, to that pure realm beyond all diversity and separation. The message encoded within the fibers of the Shroud reveals the power and beauty of the compassionate heart; it speaks to us directly about the alchemy of Love.” – James Barrett speaking in Ashland, Oregon 2007
“For me, reading The Silent Gospel was like coming Home. In a unified and organized way, it integrates science, heart and ancient wisdom with the deepest spiritual truths - a most valuable contribution to those on the spiritual path." - Leonard Laskow, MD , author of Healing With Love

Media Biography
James Andrew Barrett
Author of
The Silent Gospel – The Science of Divinity – Creation of the Shroud of Turin
James Andrew Barrett, a student of religious and mystical traditions, embarked on an odyssey in 1995 to create a heart based biofeedback device that would aid recognition of a natural intelligence spoken of by wisdom traditions. This Heart focused Intelligence bypasses our genetic gifts, IQ, age, cultural conditioning, and education. The goal at the time was a “real-time” cardiac biofeedback device that would access this unique heart based intelligence.
Success came with the help of several individuals, particularly a former Air Force human-machine interface control systems analyst at Wright Patterson Air force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
Resulting data from this innovative approach demonstrates that inherent heart based intelligence drives many of the psychological and physical systems important to wellness.
In March of 2000, a life altering epiphany occurred when his twenty-seven son suddenly died without a known cause.During those weeks of grief, Barrett was given a clear vision of a book and a clear personal experience of the “witnessing” facet of mind. His priority then changed from developing the cardiac device and its protocols, to research, writing and lecturing on the subject of Human Potentiality. The Silent Gospel: The Science of Divinity-The Creation of the Shroud of Turin is a result of this period of inquiry.
In his book he blends ancient Eastern and modern Western science to decipher the embedded testament left in the ancient cloth known as the Shroud of Turin. He claims that it is a Silent Gospel meant specifically for humanity during these times. Ultimately he has come to believe that the Shroud of Turin illuminates both the topic of Ascension and the Nature of Reality.
James currently lives in Northern California and is working on a screenplay about the “History of the Shroud”.

BULLET POINTS:
The Silent Gospel
•The Silent Gospel is the Shroud of Turin.
•The Silent Gospel is being decoded by rigorous Western Sciences.
•The Silent Gospel is the wordless message left by the imprinted image; a complex testament left by the object’s creator apparently for these specific times when the required technical sophistication to fully explore and reveal the depth of the mystery would be available.
•The Silent Gospel exposes the intent and underlying meaning held within this ancient artifact.
•The Silent Gospel uses Eastern and Western philosophies and their sciences in grounding a plausible explanation for the Creation of the Shroud of Turin – in doing so, outlines a psychophysical process known in mystical traditions as the “Final” or “Great Completion”; the attainment of the “Body of Light” and “The Kingdom of Light”.
•The Silent Gospel is a blueprint for biological Ascension, with a foundation built on Heart Intelligence research supporting the Sacred-Immaculate or Purified Heart.
•The Silent Gospel reveals “ascension” to be a psychophysical process of unifying identities (aspects of self), which when idealized (perfected unification), ends in this rare event organically (biological ascension).
•The Silent Gospel shows how Ascension results from a uniquely coherent resonant attunement of self (Self-realization) to that creative no-time realm of infinite potential and possibilities.

The Silent Gospel
“Exploring the mysteries of The Shroud of Turin pushes science and the rational mind into abstraction and submission; for the answers reside in the timelessness of the eternal and reveal themselves in paradox”. James Andrew Barrett
Detailed Description:
The Silent Gospel refers to the “coded testament” embedded within the ancient burial cloth known as The Shroud of Turin, a singularly unique object that has confounded the scientific community for over 30 years. Because of the perfection of the image science beliefs it was intentionally created. The slightest difference in the amount of radiation, either in duration, distance or intensity would have diminished the high resolution of the images. On the surface it appears as a work of art. If this is so then the people of these times are the first since its creation in the first century to be able to truly marvel at the depth and richness of its mysteries. Only now do we have the technical sophistication to explore the complexities and elegance the object holds.
It was not until 1898 that the new science of photography revealed the positive image of the face and body, beginning the “scientific phase” of exploration. In 1973, 1976, anomalies lead to the creation of the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP) in 1978. In that same year twenty-four of the worlds leading scientist, in a vast array of disciplines spent five full days with the sacred article retrieving large amounts of data to later analysis. Their startling conclusions in 1981 spurred others to continue the scientific investigations. The “collective evidence” has stretched Western Science past the normal “event horizon” of our current paradigm. The best minds of our day cannot even come up with a model that satisfactorily explains the image and all its unique characteristics and odd anomalies.
Barrett, after years of extensive research into the science done on the Shroud approached the problem differently. He had studied the Buddhist phenomenon of the Rainbow Body and quickly realized the similarities to the Christian Resurrection and Ascension processes and events. This process and its sciences have a connection to the “heart intelligence” sciences he had been involved with prior to his interest in the Shroud. He realized that if he could bridge Eastern and Western philosophies and their sciences, specifically the Buddhist-Bönpo Rainbow Body or Body of Light attainment an explanation for the radiation source would be explained. Using the Buddhist philosophies of attainment he correlates the teachings of Jesus, since tradition and the science tells us that the Shroud is with the “highest probability” that of Jesus of Nazareth. Completing these challenges he tackled the creation of a scientific model based in physics to help explain the “shadow-less” light recorded by witnesses at the final moment of the Body of Light attainment known as the “Great Completion”. He intuited that the phenomenon termed Sonoluminescence held hints and could act as a visual example of a phenomenon that dissolves into a flash of light.
At the heart of all the technical data lies a basic truth about the power and beauty of the compassionate heart and the alchemic transformational nature of Love.
Distilled, the Shroud exists and whether intentionally or not it was created by man, thereby through extension The Silent Gospel hints graphically at the vast potential of consciousness, while it silently whispers a truth of great importance, a truth apparently meant to be understood now at this moment in time.
Barrett’s conclusion is that the evolution of consciousness beyond “self” anchored identities produces naturally a “phase transition” of form to higher symmetry states, which ancient mystical traditions call the Rainbow Body, The Golden Body, The Wisdom Body or simply the Body of Light. It is understood as the attainment of the Kingdom of Light and is understood by masters of inner exploration as a reclaiming of the status Son/Daughter of God; a conscious co-creator fully realized. Barrett senses that it’s the informational input that assists the transition of our species to Homo-luminous.
Why is this important or relevant to the audience?
The mystery surrounding the creation of the Shroud Image and the relating anomalous characteristics found within those ancient fibers is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries on the planet. It rivals the Great Pyramid in Egypt and is pushing science and physics into uncharted realms of exploration. The science being generated by exploring the cloth is literally generating a new paradigm in physics and radically shifting our perception of what is real, as well as what is possible. The science is adding weight to the message at the foundational core of all spiritual traditions. Love transforms, so follow the Golden Rule of “loving others and you love yourself”.
“The scientific explorations done on the Shroud of Turin collectively are revealing a sophisticated encoded message, a silent testament that graphically illustrates the potential within each of us, and, by extension, the nature of Reality itself.” ~ James Andrew Barrett
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burden of Proof
The burden of proof regarding the Shroud has shifted to the debunkers with respect to the two main questions surrounding the Shroud of Turin; those being how was the image created and who might have create it? Currently a wealth of mounting scientific and circumstantial evidence clearly points to a man with AB blood was severally tortured and then crucified in a manner exactly mirroring the biblical stories yet with much more graphic detail. This individual entered rigor mortis while still nailed on the cross, then prior to any further signs of the dieing process (release of other bodily fluids etc.) a unique form of radiation “imprinted” the man enshroud along with the coins on the eyes and bouquets of flowers around the head. This release of light (energy) must have been highly coherent in an enveloping fashion, occurring for the briefest of moments due to the exactness of the image resolution. This unique form of light produced an image in negative of the enshroud person; an image that is produced on the ultra thin starch and sugar layer found on the outer most fibers of this two-thousand year old linen cloth. The tonal-browning occurred within this starch and sugar like layer, which is thinner then 1/100th of a human hair. Photographs taken of the image have been found to contain “dimensional encoded information” about the body. This allows for a topographic representation of the physical body formally enshrouded. No other single object known to date can do this! Objects found in the image included; bouquets of flowers, thorns, wood, coins from 31 CE, and both the front and back of the body lying naked in the posture of death. This image required exquisite precision in the timing and intensity to get the quality of resolution that scholars agree was more intense in its clarity back in antiquity. It is a cloth that to this day remains supple as the bed cover that will cover you tonight. The image was created without a directional light source.
The medium was a cool coherent form of energy that irradiated without heat or pressure in direct relationship to the distance to the body. The image was produced in negative form with exquisite timing and intensity, yet the photo-similar image is produced on material that is considered not to be photosensitive material. But of the lack of a directional light source for the image and due to the fact that the material imprinted on is not photosensitive material, it is considered not to be a photo-style object, yet the negative image of the object produces a perfect positive image of the man enshroud. This evidence alone makes arguments against challenging to sustain.
Authenticity Issues
Currently the empirical and circumstantial evidence reveled by cold hard science, parallel in great detail the Biblical stories of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and points to the origins of the cloth as coming from the region surrounding Jerusalem sometime in the first century. The question of authenticity may be readily divided into two points.
(1) The Shroud as a genuine burial cloth recovered from a grave or removed from a corpse
(2) The Shroud as the grave-cloth of Christ.
Scientific opinions on the Shroud being an authentic burial-cloth range from "probable" to "proven"; the reason it is not 100 percent “proven” is simply due to the image found on the cloth itself. All other points of evidence collected support the conclusion that the cloth is an authentic burial shroud that covered a real corpse in antiquity.
The opinions on the second point, that of it being the grave-cloth of Jesus Christ, range from "possible" to "probable". Without DNA of an actual man known as Jesus, 100 percent positive, proven authentication is regarded as impossible. Yet it is felt by most scholars of the science, that in a court of law the collective evidence both hard and circumstantial would support the opinion of “highly probable”.
Historically, medical, chemical, biological, archeologically and physical scientific data/viewpoints support conclusively the Bible stories, again the difference is with the revelation of the many brutally graphic details. The stories are made real with the image of a brutally tortured man in his burial cloth stained with vast amounts of blood and other fluids from a vast array of wounds.
To date the there are no theories that satisfies “all the evidence” much less a reproduction of the object with all the anomalous characteristics, as been put forth. What makes this even more astonishing is that we are in an era of unparalleled technical sophistication and communication.
A theory must include not just the physics for the source and method of use of the radiation but must also give adequate historical, archeological, medical, chemical and physical explanations that satisfy all the characteristics and anomalies found by the scientific community. Theories proposed in the general media gloss over this fact in all their presentations.
These facts developed over the last thirty-years of research, is pushing science into a new paradigm of reality, one closer then ever to the views held by the ancient rishis (sages) of the Indian sub-continent.
To debunk either of the two main issues surrounding the Shroud requires more then throwing lots of false facts to the wall and seeing which one sticks. It requires a through explanation of all points, not to do so is a grave injustice to humanity.

Possible Article Submission:
Articles I would care to submit would be on the value of Heart Intelligence as it relates to wellness and conscious evolution occurring on the planet at this time. My intent is to share the transformational power and the beauty of compassionate loving kindness. I would tweak the language to suit the audience of the publication.
Currently my presentations relate to:
•By book The Silent Gospel
•Internal Heart Coherence and the human waveform.
•The great unification termed the Rainbow Body in Buddhist philosophy and Resurrection - Ascension from the Christian view.
•The science of Shroud of Turin
•History of the Shroud of Turin
I weld the ancient philosophies of Self-realization and Western scientific principles to show the dynamic fluidity of the human form and the vast potentiality held within consciousness. The fact that human intent can and does robustly affects objective reality.
The tool box broadly defined is Human Potentiality, the tools include; quantum theory and its weird mechanics, mathematics, sacred geometry, thermodynamics physics, heart intelligence research, mystical traditions of the planet, spontaneous remissions, super human abilities, yogi powers, incorruptibility, and rich explorations of the electromagnetic nature of biology.
The totality of my explorations both in research and personal experience has led my down a path, which allows a rational, well grounded explanation of the process and event known as ascension. It also aids understanding of the phenomenon known as incorruptibility. A phenomenon where a saintly body does not corrupt, decay or dissolve after death.
Required are any submission guidelines.
