Faculty Bio

Ray Minkler

Bio: Since an early age Ray has had a clear realization of how people in power are capable of manipulations to influence us. For example, as a child of 8 years of age he was keenly aware and deeply concerned about the discrepancies between what our government was telling us about the nuclear threat of the Soviet Union and the puzzlement of why at the same time we were giving aid to the Soviet dictators, which kept them in power. Part of his life's journey has been to "get to the bottom" of puzzlements such as this. What he has discovered in this regard is reflected in varying degrees in his presentations. Ray has pursued a non-earthly education, an education that supports creativity, possibility and potential instead of what he calls “the indoctrinated conformity training” he received at the four universities he attended. In 1976 Ray became immersed in the twice daily practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and then in the TM-Sidhi Program in 1984. Through his meditations Ray achieved the activation of unbounded awareness and the beginning stages of levitation. This impacted his consciousness in ways that recontextualized everything in his life and impacted his consciousness in ways that are so numerous in description, as he says, “I could fill a book.” In recent years Ray has moved from his TM practices into other areas of exploration and non-earthly education. In 1997 Ray experienced an extremely expansive life altering experience in New York City initiating his exploration into extraterrestrial-multidimensional reality. In 1994 he experienced another life altering experience in Brisbane, Australia initiating his exploration of crop circles. In 1999, Brentwood, Tennessee, he had another profound and very expansive experience inside a crop formation, one that has irrefutable evidence to not be a man-made hoax. Since the late 1990’s Ray has funded his exploration of extraterrestrial events occurring in our world, spending sizable amounts of his income, many times going into debt to share his knowledge in presentations at spaces he rented in Sewanee, Tennessee or on the campus of the University of the South.
