Join us at the Richmond IONS August Meeting In-person or On-line at 10:00 AM ET on August 17, 2024. Our program will feature a talk by Stephen Hawley (“Steve”) Martin, Richmond-based spiritual author, editor and publisher, on his most recent book, Fast Track to Higher Consciousness (November 2023). Bestselling author of Death Is Fiction, Fear an Illusion, Steve writes in his new book that of the two worldviews most prevalent today, neither coincides with what is now known by a small but growing number of individuals to be true. In Fast Track he reveals for the first time a clear picture of reality based on the findings of consciousness researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine’s Division of Perceptual Studies (“DOPS”), founded by Ian Stevenson, M.D. in 1967, and the outcomes of a series of quantum mechanics experiments that have been verified in laboratories across the globe. It’s no wonder, Steve says, that most people sleepwalk through life. They have no idea who and what they are, why they are here, or where they and the rest of humanity are headed. The lofty aim of his recent book is to remedy this. Steve reveals what some will find to be mind-blowing information which he believes may fast track readers to a higher state of consciousness and help them achieve greater peace of mind, as well as help them determine the best course of action to take to find lasting happiness, purpose and fulfillment.
About Our Presenter: Steve is a native of Richmond and a graduate of St. Christopher’s School and Hampden-Sydney College. As the talk show host of a popular weekly internet podcast in the first decade of this century, “The Truth About Life,” it became clear to Steve as he interviewed dozens of near-death survivors, psychics, researchers into the paranormal, as well as quantum physicists and medical doctors, that humankind is on the cusp of a transition to a new understanding of the true nature of reality. To share what he has learned and help speed the transition, which he believes will result in a rebirth of optimism and the world becoming a better place to live and work, he has written over a dozen books, many of which have achieved bestseller status on Amazon. Steve is a former principal of the world-renowned ad firm that created the GEICO Gecko and “Virginia Is For Lovers,” The Martin Agency, founded by his older brother, David, and is currently the editor and publisher of Oaklea Press. He is the only three-time winner of the Writer’s Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction, and he has also won First Prize for Visionary Fiction from Independent Publisher and First Prize for Nonfiction from USA Book News. He can be reached at oakleapress.com.
