Douglas Kinney

Douglas Kinney's broad experience and highly developed skills combine to uniquely qualify him to write Frontiers of Knowledge and its companion book, Framework of Reality--ambitious books encompassing both science and spirituality. His spiritual background includes being a New Thought (Religious Science) minister and practitioner, a certified spiritual hypnotist in past-life and between-lives regression, and a practitioner of spiritual journaling. He also enjoys personal relationships with several authentic spiritual channels. His integration skills come from working for many years as a defense systems analyst and engineer for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Northrop Grumman, several smaller companies, and the Applied Physics Laboratory of the Johns Hopkins University. Within these organizations, he developed skills for working with large, complex systems and concepts. He was the lead systems architect on several large, multicompany projects, directing people from a variety of engineering disciplines and synthesizing the information they developed into a coherent system story or concept--often in ways outside conventional thinking and approaches. He holds membership in several organizations exploring the interface between science, consciousness, spirituality, and the evolution of humanity: the Institute for Noetic Science (IONS), the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE), the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE), and the World Future Society.

Douglas and Terry, his wife of 37 years, have three children and six grandchildren. They live in Maryland near Washington, DC.
