WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT AUTHOR AND BROADCASTER ZOHARA HIEROINMUS, D.H.L.
Zohara is always in front of the curve of innovation. She identifies and deciphers trends so the rest of us better understand the future.
DR. MEHMET OZ
Zohara is a true futurist and a visionary like Alvin Toffler, the author of Future Shock. Zohara was years ahead of her time in the past century, and she predicted exactly what we face today in the 21st century. I consider her work a must for anyone who wants to understand whats happening today and what is in store for us tomorrow. Zohara is the source of information if you want to know where our brave new world is heading and, more importantly, why.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
All of the perspectives presented in The Future of Human Experience derive from interviews that were conducted on my regional and nationally syndicated radio programs. The first one, The Zoh Show (19922002), is the longest aired whistle-blower program in broadcast history. The second is a program called Future Talk (20022008) and the third is 21stCentury Radio (1985present), which my husband and I cofounded many years ago and which airs each week in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia on WCBM Radio 680 AM. It is also heard online worldwide at www.21stcenturyradio.com.
This book is the result of thousands of hours of interviews, with only a small portion represented here specifically. I want to thank Amy Ford for her help with this books illustrations; John Vinson, John Ford, Nate Thompson, Mike Healy, Sally OHara, Alden Briggin, and Megan Bowen each of whom took part in producing either The Zoh Show or Future Talk. I especially want to thank Laura Cortner, executive producer of 21stCentury Radio for insuring Bob and I host well-crafted programs with amazing guests on what is the oldest new paradigm radio program in the United States and perhaps the world. I also want to thank Laura for editing the initial manuscript of this book.
After a year and half of my writing, followed by Lauras swift and excellent editing, we celebrated our collaboration on January 13, 2003: my forty-ninth birthday. On this day the final product was sent to the printers and then mailed to over twenty publishers. It was rejected by every publisher I sent it to, most saying it required too much intelligence to read and should be published by a university press. My hunch is that it was just a bit ahead of the curve.
After some time had passed, I sent out another round. It was just after another birthday of mine, this time in 2012, that I heard from Jon Graham, acquisitions editor at Inner Traditions International. They were interested in publishing this book. (Inner Traditions published two of my other books: Kabbalistic Teachings of the Female Prophets in 2008 and Sanctuary of the Divine Presence in 2012.) In addition to this wonderful news, Jon told me that The Future of Human Experience would be published in, you guessed it, 2013. (When I got a score of thirteen on a math test on my thirteenth birthday on a Friday the thirteenth in 1967the year preceding my first public environmental activismit was reinforced to me that thirteen, although not a good math score, was a good number.) Interpreting these birthday dates and the year of 2013 as being significant to this book, one might say that I was born to write it!
Ten years after I penned the original manuscript, The Future of Human Experience is being published (it is fitting for a book about the future to wait for the future in order to manifest publicly). Additions have been made to it, including interviews conducted between 2003 and 2013.
Given the nature of its topics and the information first assembled by interviewing extraordinary researchers, inventors, physicians, psychics, activists, historians, astronauts, astronomers, geologists, physicists, creative thinkers, and so many others, I realized that my interests tend to run about twenty-five years or more in advance of the collective culture and, judging by the people whose work is presented in this book, I am not alone. There are always front-runners in society, in every field of human endeavor, who point to where we are going and how we are going to get there long before the dominant culture endorses the new way of seeing the world. Often it is in retrospect that those in the vanguard are understood and appreciated. It is my hope, and the purpose of this book, that the ideas and solutions presented here inspire others to make their own significant contributions to our culture and to our planet.
I want to thank all of the people I have interviewed for the intelligent discussions and their consideration of things outside the box. Bless you for having the courage to stand against academic and societal bias and to often undergo personal economic peril in order to tell others what you have discovered, what you know, and what questions you are currently asking. Most of all, thank you for enhancing my heart and conscious awareness and that of our shared audiences worldwide, declaring that we are
