Debra Page – Consultant: Religion, Mysticism and Metaphysics
Debra's interest in the paranormal began with unexplained early childhood experiences. Inspired by tales of "second sight" passed on through her Scottish ancestors, she wrote her first paper on extrasensory perception in grade school. Her lifetime search for answers had lead her to study Jungian psychology, parapsychology and the nature of mind. She was a field investigator in UFO related phenomena in Berkeley in the early 1990's. As a retail bookseller in the field of metaphysics, mysticism & world religions, she was exposed to many authors and teachers in these fields. She studied with Purna Das Baul and the Bauls of Bengal, a gypsy minstrel lineage of Sufi/tantric/Vaishnavism pre-dating the 12th century. Since 2004, she has been a student of Venerable Lama Gyatso Chodak Nubpa of the Tibetan Nyingma order. She completed two years of University level education in Psychology, and one year of classical painting instruction with Hiroshi Myazaki. Her profession as a corporate bookkeeper, as well as parenting two children, has helped her remain grounded and logical . You may contact Debra at:
