A New Vision That Could Change the World

Online, June 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Herma Koornwinder's discovery of hidden patterns which enabled her to predict accurately the movements of financial markets was to change her life utterly.
She came to realise that these patterns reflected an underlying order in the universe of which life on Earth was an inseparable part - and now she's ready to reveal her remarkable findings to the world at the international KOORNWINDER CONVENTION in Amsterdam on June 22, 2010.
The speakers at the convention, which will be conducted in English, are:
• Robert Bauval: Researcher and author (The Orion Mystery, Black Genesis)
• Thomas Brophy: former NASA physicist, astrophysicist and author (The Origin Map and Black Genesis with Robert Bauval)
• Christopher Knight: researcher and author, and Alan Butler: engineer and author (Before the Pyramids, Civilisation One)
• Geoff Ward: Journalist and author (Spirals: the Pattern of Existence)
• Bert Janssen: Researcher and author (The Hypnotic Power of Crop Circles)
• Mahmoud Eissa: Egyptian tour guide, and spiritual mentor and co-producer of the film documentary series The Lost Science
• Ahmed Mahmoud: Egyptian tour guide and historian
• Herma Koornwinder: Researcher and producer of The Lost Science
The KOORNWINDER CONVENTION is an event that will be of particular interest to the scientific community as well as the financial industry, economists, architects and philosophers. It's hoped that everyone attending will gain important new insights into an invisible world and our special place in the universe.
As an outstandingly successful global analyst in the 1980s and 1990s, Herma - self-taught in stock market analysis and information technology - detected meaningful patterns underlying the performance of markets, a kind of 'intelligent design', as she called it.
This enabled her to predict, among other major financial events, the Black Monday crash of October 1987, using her own system of stock price analysis. She says it is a common mistake that analysts focus too much on graphs that concern only equity price developments, and this easily gives them wrong ideas.
Herma was hailed in the Dutch media as a 'stock market guru', and 'the most outstanding stock market analyst of the Netherlands'. Combining telematics, information science and data communication, her success lay in her interpretation of what she now regards as an 'ancient language' and, since April of last year, she has been on a whirlwind mission across three continents making an epic series of film documentaries showing how this 'language' was known to ancient civilizations.
The films show how the language is being recognised again today, for example, in the symbolism of the layouts of major cities, including Washington DC, the evidence for prehistoric geometry, the detection of 'earth energies' and in the patterns of crop circles.
Herma says the universal order is based on number, geometry and proportion and, although traceable in the ideas of thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes and Pythagoras, it has been largely lost to us over millennia.
The KOORNWINDER CONVENTION will show extracts from the documentaries, which have been made with an accomplished Egyptian film crew. Herma will explain how the rediscovered language and the systems that reflect it, including her method of market analysis, can be used to empower people to bring about beneficial change, both social and economic, throughout the world in terms of crisis avoidance and environmentally harmonious living. At the same time, a website will be launched, to promote and spread Herma's vision, with a forum to follow later.
'The universal system of measure and order determines life on this planet in many different ways - it is omnipresent and too complex for us to dismiss!' she says. 'It can be applied to all aspects of our lives. Moreover, it has been known for thousands of years. Can we somehow re-introduce it to our modern lifestyle? Let us hope so, as it will bring a major change to our world. Would it not be wonderful if we could all live in harmony according to this system of order, rather than against it, and in the process destroying our planet and ending our own livelihoods?
'The ancient sacred science now being rediscovered needs to be accepted today. It is everybody's fundamental right to know about it. Sacred science became secret science but it must become the science for everybody. The unknown must be made known.'

ABOUT HERMA KOORNWINDER
During her eight years as a professional analyst at the Dutch stock exchange, from 1989-1997, Herma Koornwinder was proved right in 90 per cent of her assessments of global stock markets. In her research in the field, she had questioned many accepted 'truths' and, through her exploration of knowledge technology, had seen a complex network of relations between the different parts of the world financial market as a whole.
She found that worldwide patterns determined price developments and, as a consequence, the global economy, when the financial world at large assumed that price developments occurred randomly.* As well as Black Monday, Herma anticipated correctly the rise of international share prices in 1988, the drop preceding the 1990 Gulf crisis, the recovery of prices in January 1991, and the 1993 rise in prices and the stock market correction in 1994. The success of her methods between 1989 and 1994 was verified by an independent accountancy firm, Deloitte & Touche.**
In July 1995, Herma presented an extract from the Deloitte & Touche report, with its positive evaluation of her investment advice, to the chairman of the Dutch Stock Exchange, Baron van Ittersum. Her predictive strategies were developed under the aegis of her consultancy, Koornwinder Global Market Navigation (KGMN), which she launched in 1990 to promote her vision while she worked as an advisor for retirement funds of companies such as Shell and Brenca, and insurance company Zwitserleven. KGMN was one of the first ventures in the area of investment innovation on the electronic highway.
In 2000, Herma began to undertake personal research. 'Through the shapes and patterns that determine the behaviour of financial markets, I discovered an underlying order of universal magnitude for which I had no logical explanation,' she said. 'The impact of this finding was so great that I felt the need for further study of this phenomenon. I studied comparative religion, different cultures, philosophy, psychology, ancient science, and so on, and I read many hundreds of books on these subjects. It felt like an exciting discovery tour.'
In 2008, there was another important happening. This was Herma's first encounter with the strange 'earth energies' associated with the art of dowsing - a skill she never knew she had until she visited England that summer. A chance meeting with the Dutch crop circles investigator Janet Ossebaard led Herma to visit Wiltshire to see these mysterious formations for herself and, while there, she was given a pair of dowsing rods to try out.
She said: 'Despite my initial reluctance, I tried out the rods and was flabbergasted when I recognized that the movement of the rods was the same as I had noticed in my work with lines in number sequences which gave the spark for my search for an underlying system of order. And who could have expected me to find it in the crop circles? I felt the same force in crop circles that I had noticed in the sequences of numbers.'
Herma now believes that the system of earth energies, and the 'points of power', or energy centres, which they generate in the landscape, points the way toward 'a more natural and responsible resourcefulness that will allow us to live in natural, ecological and economic harmony on this planet. It offers an alternative source for energy supplies, derived from points of power, and an alternative approach to stock market analysis and architecture'.
Herma is living proof that, no matter how old you are, life can become an exhilarating journey of discovery, not only of the world but of oneself. How she turned from being a high-flying global market analyst into a passionate advocate of ancient science and philosophy, as well as a ground-breaking film-maker with an urgent message for the world, is an extraordinary story.

** Out of 23 trend predictions of various stock markets delivered by KGMN over the period 1989 to 1994, 22 were confirmed by later events. Out of seven equity portfolios composed by KGMN, six performed better than the corresponding stock market index; one scored equal. On average, the KGMN portfolios outperformed, in absolute terms, the stock market index by ten per cent. A number of KGMN's more descriptional predictions and forecasts are described in various publications and client reports. These were, with rare exception, all confirmed by the course of events that followed.

THE LOST SCIENCE SERIES - WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Herma's unique film project comprises five documentaries each with a runtime of about 40 minutes. They have been made with a go-ahead Egyptian production team, the core of which comprises co-producer Mahmoud Eissa, directors Mostafa Youseff and Khaled El Fares, cameraman Mohamed Abdul Raouf, and tour guides Ahmed Mahmoud and Refaat Abdelwahab.
Film 1 - Earth Energies and Points of Power
Location: Egypt, April/May 2009
Herma and Mahmoud Eissa introduce the 'earth energies' theme of the series. Herma explains her dowsing technique, tells the surprising tale of how she came to be a practitioner of the art, and speaks of some of her findings in Egypt. Walking with her pair of copper rods, she dowses leys and 'power points' of energy which she discovered determined the layout of ancient monuments at Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and at Karnak - her rods spin furiously above centres of energy. Herma also dowses for earth energies at Sakkara, the Bahariya Oasis, the Temple of Niuserre at Abu Ghurab, and at the Great Pyramid at Giza.
Film 2 - Crop Circles, Stock Markets and Megaliths
Location: England, July 2009
Herma introduces her discovery that geometrical figures, and symbols and patterns from the art and ceremony of ancient civilisations, some often seen in crop circles, also appear in the graphs which she produced, as a global market analyst, showing the movements of stock prices. In Wiltshire, the world 'hotspot' for crop circles, Herma examines scientific research into the strange phenomenon, and interviews key investigators Michael Glickman, Charles Mallett and Bert Janssen. As well as crop circles, where energy lines and points set her rods spinning again, Herma visits the famous prehistoric monuments of Stonehenge, Avebury and Silbury Hill.
Film 3 - Stones, Spirals and the Hidden Order
Location: Egypt, October/November 2009
Herma ponders the possibility of a 'world grid' and how its geometrical and geomantic properties could relate to a universal order reflected in the ancients' positioning and design of temples and pyramids, and in the behaviour of financial markets. She interviews Geoff Ward about his study of the spiral form and pattern in nature and human culture - itself evidence of a universal unifying and organising principle. The crew visit Abu Simbel, the Bahariya Oasis, Nabta Playa in southern Egypt where megaliths are among the earliest known archaeo-astronomical constructions, and enter the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid.
Film 4 - Sacred Geometry and Washington DC
Location: USA, March 2010
Herma introduces the theme that the architect Pierre Charles L'Enfant, appointed by George Washington in 1791 to design the layout of the US capital, worked to a system of 'sacred geometry', as used in the planning of cities in the ancient world. With her dowsing rods, Herma traces these patterns - symbolically potent and related to cosmic energies - at major city landmarks, detecting the same principles in play as at ancient sites and in crop circles. She interviews Robert Bauval, Christopher Knight and Alan Butler about the fascinating links between Washington DC and freemasonry as the repository of this ancient knowledge.
Film 5 - Alexandria and the Ancient Wisdom
Location: Egypt, March/April 2010
Continuing her mission to locate the energy lines that ancient civilizations used in their city planning and architecture, Herma witnesses a miracle of dowsing at Hellenic Alexandria. Her rods work not only over land but also as Mahmoud dives to the 2,000-year-old ruins of Cleopatra's palace and temple complex and Pharos city, one of the world's richest underwater archaeological sites. Robert Bauval explains how the ancient wisdom, including astronomical alignment of structures, integrated humankind with the cosmos. Herma also visits old Islamic Cairo, which was carefully planned on leys by the architect Jawhar Sakkaly (The Sicilian).
