Douglas James Cottrell, Ph.D. (1949 – present) is an ordinary man who demonstrates extraordinary abilities. In 1975, his mind was opened to the possibilities of intuitive phenomena when a co-worker at the Toronto Star newspaper handed him a book about Edgar Cayce, an American intuitive who practiced in the early 20th Century.
Inspired by Ross Peterson, twenty-six-year-old Douglas began to study everything he could about the unseen world – from chakras and the aura to energy healing, dreams, and meditation. Aided by his family doctor and his chiropractor (both followers of Cayce), he began conducting experiments. He was young, determined, and driven to persist. He wanted to prove to the medical community that this phenomenon could help save lives.
As his confidence and trust in this ability grew, Douglas was able to learn to enter deeper and deeper levels of consciousness, and the quality of the information became even richer. Under Peterson’s mentorship, these experiments grew into intuitive readings that Douglas gave to friends and acquaintances. In short time, he decided to devote his life full-time to giving what he calls Quantum Meditation™ readings to clients from all walks of life.
During one “test” of Douglas, done in a hotel room in Toronto, Canada in the early 1990s, a medical doctor – head of the Juvenile Diabetes section at the time – read the names and addresses of five of his private patients who were not actually present in the room at the time. To the doctor’s satisfaction, Douglas described the symptoms of each. Independent testing and verification suggest that the health/medical information is accurate to approximate the 99th percentile and may, in many cases, be contemplating a link between cause and effect (as it relates to particular conditions) that even modern science is currently unaware of.
