Product Description

"These are truths that hold the key to the joy, freedom, and power of the new Earth. Religions have constantly suppressed and ruthlessly persecuted those who spoke them." Dr. Míceál Ledwith Featured in the award-winning movie, What The BLEEP Do We Know!?
Dr. Miceal Ledwith s research interests had always been in the fundamental areas of theology, summed up by the four great questions, as he liked to call them: Who are we; where did we come from; what should we do, and where are we going? None seemed to give any convincing information about what awaits us after death, what we should do while here that will help in some sense our spiritual development, and above all, there was no information whatever about what precedes life here on earth. He noticed that while many found God attractive, the religions who claimed to be God s instruments seemed to be largely dismissed as irrelevant by an ever-increasing number of thinking people. It was apparent that none of the religions seemed to have lived up to the promises of their founders.
He set out to discover what had gone wrong and how the damage could be repaired. It was at this stage that he found the vast and sophisticated body of teachings coming from Ramtha s School of Ancient Wisdom, which he discovered filled many of the gaps in knowledge and the even greater gaps in experience, in the existing world religions. He has actively studied at Ramtha's School for many years and has been invited to lecture at teaching sessions held by the Ramtha School in North and South America, Europe, Australia, South Africa and Japan.
His research has involved the painful separation of time-conditioned modes of thought and views of how reality is, from fundamental beliefs about God and human destiny. A series of DVDs which set out the findings of his research is now in production with JZ Knight as Director. The Great Questions in the Hamburger Universe, Vol. 1 in the series Deep Deceptions is the first fruits of this work. This DVD series will chart a new course for human hopes and aspirations in relation to the fundamental questions that perplex everyone, and will serve as an introduction to some of the ideas more extensively explored in his forthcoming book Forbidden Truth.

About the Actor
Dr. Miceal Ledwith, a native of County Wexford, Ireland, was ordained a Catholic priest in 1967 after studies in Arts, Philosophy and Theology. After completing doctoral studies he was appointed a Lecturer in Theology at the Pontifical University, Maynooth, in 1971, and became a Professor there in 1976. He served as Registrar of the Pontifical University, was Editor of the prestigious review The Irish Theological Quarterly, and was a member of the Editorial Board of the International Catholic Review "Communio" for more than a decade. He became Dean of the Faculty of Theology in 1979, Vice-President of the College in 1980, and served a ten year term as President from 1985 during which time the staff and student numbers increased by 300%. Many new academic courses and facilities were put in place, including four new student residences, a student restaurant, and a major science building for Biology and Computer Science, while a major part of the heritage buildings of the College were restored. He was intensively involved in devising the new arrangements that led to the National University of Ireland part of the College becoming an independent university.

From 1980-1997 he served three terms as a Member of the International Theological Commission, a small group of theologians who advise on theological mattes referred to them by the Pope or the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He was Chairman of the Committee of Heads of the Irish Universities and was a member of the Governing Bureau of the Conference of European University Presidents. He was deeply involved in ecumenical relationships between the Churches in Ireland for two decades, and was a Consulter to the Vatican Congregation for Education, which oversees those colleges and universities around the world who hold a Papal Charter. He lectured extensively at institutions and to groups involved in continuing education, throughout Ireland and Britain as well as all over Europe and North America.

Customer Reviews

Deceptions for good.
If you were deceptioned for all the preconceptions teached in school, family or church, this DVD will encourage you to beleive in your deepest feelings and thinkings; those you were afraid to share.

Insightful and Eloquently presented!
Strangely, even though I loved "What the Bleep Do We Know" (DVD) and Mr. Ledwith's contribution therein, I was hesitant to purchase this DVD. However, after watching the DVD I am thoroughly elated I did! Admittedly, the presentation is in a lecture format, and not as colorful, clever or entertainingly presented as "What the Bleep", but the information, and perspective was right on target!

Amazingly, I come from a very staunch Fundamentalist Christian background (where I freely identified myself with the "Born-Again" perspective on Christ, the Bible and the afterlife). During the 20+ years of promoting that perspective I found my inner voice questioning a lot of what "The Church" was teaching that didn't seem to match what I understood Christ's message to truly be. Mr. Ledwith's perspective matches my own spiritual journey and insightful truths! After resolving the stark contrast between this DVD & "What the Bleep"'s format, I quickly found myself wanting to shout "Amen! Preach it, Brother!"

I believe MORE Christians (Fundamentalists, Evangelicals and Catholics, especially), really, REALLY need to sit down and listen to what this man is saying! It's true, but surely a "closed mind" will only find fault in it, because it would be admitting to one's self that maybe, just maybe, we've never truly questioned exactly WHAT IT IS THAT WE BELIEVE about God, Heaven, Hell, Death, Life, Purpose and the Universe. Most of us willingly subject ourselves to robotic programming by "the Church" and never question our belief out of fear... Fear that is TAUGHT to us in the guise of spiritual "obedient thinking & action", and all we can do to answer life's questions is seek someone ELSE's viewpoint (those we deem within our Church structure to be "more knowledgable", relying on their interpretation to guide us, or quoting scripture (like a good little robot), making sure we ignore the scriptures that we don't want to hear ourselves, or don't quite fit in with the pat little answers we want our listeners to hear (promoting and ignoring scriptures at will). Most Christians either don't KNOW what the Bible says, or they are just walking automatons spouting verbal rhetoric rather than speaking from our Heart (since that is so much easier than taking responsibility ourselves and finding the answers within... Looking within is too scarey for most, and the Church teaches us NOT to rely on our own understanding, because we are evil without the Church's dogma). Free your mind and THINK FOR YOURSELF! Expand your understanding of Scripture beyond the Hamburger Universe! I'm positive even Jesus, the Christ would approve! JOHN 10:34 (Hey, don't stone me! Jesus said it! Isn't everything he said truth, or are only some of the things he said true while other things should be suppressed?).

I HIGHLY recommend this DVD. If nothing else, it will at least provide a different perspective on things... and maybe, just maybe open your mind to consider what it is you do believe and why!

Fundamentalists, Evangelicals and Catholics, are probably the most likey mindsets to ridicule and berate my review and the DVD - no problem though... everyone should seek their OWN inner truth. Hopefully the truth they do find IS their own, and not one that places them into a neatly package box in which they are snug and secure in the illusion that they never have to truly think for themself again. ;-)

Enjoy!

Very Poor
I am sorry to say this is another poor version of what Dr Ledwith deems to be a series.......

It's not a stab at Dr Ledwith, but an insult to Amazons customers,,,, these CD's are rubbish and if i could get my money back i would.....

Take the reviews advice and dont even waste your money
