About the Author Christopher Patrick Holmes graduated with a B.A. from Carleton University, Ottawa in 1971 and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Waterloo in 1978. He taught at York University Downsview (Toronto), Ontario over an eleven year period, amidst controversy over his investigations of mystical and spiritual psychology, science and psychic phenomena. He co-founded with Anita Mitra, three centers–the Institute for Mystical and Spiritual Science in Maple, Ontario, the Rainbow Centre in Toronto and Zero Point in the Ottawa valley. After being persecuted out of York University, Christopher worked as a forensic psychologist for twelve years -- with young offenders at Bluewater Youth Centre, Goderich and with adult offenders at Rideau Correctional and Treatment Centre, Merrickville, Ontario. In 2003, he left the Ontario Ministry of Corrections to further his research, writing and teaching while working under the Zero Point logo. Dr. Holmes has studied widely in modern psychology and science as well as in the mystical and spiritual traditions. In his view, the mainstream of modern thought is seriously misguided in dismissing the spiritual and soul nature of human beings and failing to explore the deep roots of human consciousness and the heart. Dr. Holmes explains that a science of soul and spirit must consider the physics, metaphysics and cosmology of consciousness. Most importantly, it must also involve self study and awakening through the alchemy of psycho-spiritual transformation. Christopher's other areas of interest are in modern physics, ancient metaphysics and creation studies. He argues not only for 'intelligent design' in nature, but provides a model of such processes based on his mystical and scientific studies. Most importantly, he regards living beings as having dynamic zero point centres rooted into the grounds of being--little divine source emanations, or Stars, rooted into the heavens. Dr. Holmes has founded Zero Point, an
Institute for Mystical
and Spiritual Science to promote the investigation of the esoteric
traditions and to bring these perspectives into relationship with
modern psychology and science, and into the educational system.

Dr. Holmes is only beginning to promote his writings and work after many years in relative obscurity.
He has experienced various insights, revelations and illuminations throughout his life,
but is a living and loving individual out here in Space, interested in teaching sincere seekers and conducting ongoing investigations
into the mysteries. I am available for lectures, workshops and conference,
and am seeking publishers for my books and support for further research and writing.
