More Wave Less ParticleThe Great Acceleration is Here NowThis is the first part of a special two-part episode about what I call the great acceleration of our time. What exactly is accelerating? And why is that important? Several things are accelerating: one is knowledge, another is time, a third is energy, and a fourth is our cognitive brain capacity. So, let me break this down.Recently, Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, sat down for an interview with Fareed Zakaria. Jensen is being called the Godfather of AI because his company pivoted several years ago from making GPUs for gaming to developing GPUs for AI...2025-07-2509 min
More Wave Less ParticleAn Urgent Petition for Peace Using AIThis is a special episode of the More Wave Less Particle podcast. This morning, I awoke to a text letting me know that my last remaining aunt, my mother’s younger sister, passed away overnight. As I poured my first coffee, I turned on CNN to watch the latest reports on the war between Israel and Iran now on the precipice of catastrophic escalation. I felt more powerless than I’ve felt in a long time. Then I realized that I’m not helpless.Recently, I’ve been finding new and interesting ways to use AI chatbots in my li...2025-06-1907 min
More Wave Less ParticlePastors on Psychedelics: The Return to Mystical Spirituality?In 2015, researchers at John Hopkins University and NYU specifically wanted to invite religious leaders with an interest in further exploring and developing their spiritual lives to ingest mushrooms. The result was that many of the participants became evangelists for psychedelics for spiritual purposes. Ironically, one of the participants was an Episcopal Church minister named Hunt Priest.So, Priest joined about 30 other religious leaders from Christian churches, including a Catholic priest, as well as an Islamic leader, a few rabbis, a biblical scholar and a Buddhist roshi. While the study lacked some of the usual scientific rigor, like...2025-06-1708 min
More Wave Less ParticleUsing AI as a Personal Spiritual AdvisorMany people do not yet realize the power of AI to support their spiritual growth or how to integrate it into their spiritual practice. If you follow a particular set of religious teachings or spiritual principles, you now can use an AI Chatbot like Perplexity, or Anthropic’s newest Claude Opus 4, or xAI’s Grok, Google’s Gemini, or Open AI’s Chat GPT among others to find just the right personal guidance for your situation from whatever source you prefer. So, today I’m going to demonstrate for you how you can correctly and safely use any of the curren...2025-05-2813 min
More Wave Less ParticleSuperseded Laws in Public SchoolsLet me begin by stating that I am not a cultural warrior — a spiritual warrior, perhaps. But I have no interest in the so-called “culture wars.”And so I’m not interested in weighing in on the latest skirmish in the ongoing culture clash. Instead, I want to bring some truth and clarity to the legal fight over posting copies of the Ten Commandments in public schools. I read a recent Rolling Stone article about Louisiana becoming the first state to sign into law a requirement that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom in a pos...2025-01-2607 min
More Wave Less ParticleThe Greenland PropheciesToday I want to talk about Trump and The Greenland Prophecies. As we know, President-Elect Trump has a strong propensity to make unexpected and unconventional statements that many people find outrageous. Recent examples include his offensive statements to the U.S.’ closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, including his expressed desire to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Now, whether such statements are meant to bully, taunt, intimidate or provoke our friendly and non-threatening neighbors into making concessions or seeking appeasement, or simply getting their attention, no one really knows.However, I believe his st...2025-01-1008 min
More Wave Less ParticleThe Most Powerful Holiday GiftMost of us have heard of what’s called the Overview Effect. It’s a unique perceptual awareness for those who have traveled to space, and it produces a profound cognitive shift in an astronaut gazing down upon the Earth.What I find so intriguing—actually, I would say “miraculous”—about the Overview Effect as people experience it is that even a single perceptual experience of Earth from space changes people, their consciousness, and sometimes even the course of their lives.Two "over viewers," Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell and the original Star Trek Captain Kirk, William Shat...2024-12-2006 min
More Wave Less ParticleA New Wine Skin for ChristianityI've just completed a book, which I launched a few days ago. It’s called Finding the Fractal Christ: An Integrative Spiritual Quest. And for another 3 days, you can access it free on Amazon as a Kindle ebook. So, I’m going to disclose a few things here that I learned in the course of writing this book. And I’m hoping that you’ll find them useful. The context for the book is that I experienced a very unexpected vision, a revelation, in an altered state of consciousness late last year. That vision consisted of a segm...2024-10-2910 min
More Wave Less ParticleDeveloping Our SuperpowersIn this episode, I want to share my recent experience with Vibravision, which teaches and trains people how to unlock their superpowers within a larger system called Merpati Putih (MP) from Indonesia. It’s unlikely that you’ve heard about Vibravision as compared to various other martial arts or energy healing and health systems like qi gung, tai chi, gung fu, reiki, karate, and yoga — to name some practices familiar to westerners.This practice originally was developed in the mid-1500’s by the Royal Family of the Mataram Kingdom of Java as a secret system. And since...2024-07-2611 min
More Wave Less ParticleOur Misbegotten NeedsThe current culture seems to have hijacked quite a few words and given them very different meanings. What bothers me about it is, having been an English major, I became steeped in the richness of vocabulary, whether it was the common vernacular or a specialized one, sometimes called an argot — medicine, law and science have their own argots, as do many other disciplines.Actually, the word that disturbs me most in this regard might surprise you. It’s “needs.” A phrase that somehow popped up in the culture in the last decade or so is this idea that it’...2024-06-3006 min
More Wave Less ParticleBurnt Toast on the HighwayToo often, people think of their lives as a series of random but interesting events or encounters. We’ve developed phrases to describe certain of these incidents that seem to happen out of the blue. We’re standing in line at the grocery store, and we overhear the person in front of us on the phone talking about how they just lost one of their best pet-sitting clients. Meanwhile, I’ve been wondering all morning where I’m going to find a good pet sitter on short-notice for an upcoming business trip.When such things happen, we might sa...2024-06-0906 min
More Wave Less ParticleLook Up at Tonight's Dark SkyNow is a great time to walk outside at night and look up at a dark sky. Here’s what I mean.We humans are remarkable beings — with infinite spiritual potential, yet physically infinitesimal in our immense Universe. So, how do we balance both aspects of ourselves, especially when the culture feeds our gluttonous egos 24 by 7.Well, I want to share a secret with you about how you can simultaneously experience your own expansiveness while at the same time feeling your insignificance and fragility to help you stay humble and grounded in your life. All we n...2024-05-2106 min
More Wave Less ParticlePatterns of TruthGeorge Santayana, a Spanish-American philosopher, is often quoted as having said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Winston Churchill put his own spin on this concept when he said, “Those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat it.”While a memorable cultural catchphrase, the premise that history repeats itself is false. What makes it false is the word history. History does not repeat. History only exists as collected fragments of memory and records of all occurrences leading up to now, but which do not presently exist. The correct phenomena to ident...2024-05-1109 min

More Wave Less ParticleThe Truth WithinWe live in a challenging time for knowing and keeping reality and truth. Today, we have a very different set up than any other time in our history that makes discovering and holding truth infinitely more difficult. I’m referring of course to the mad rush of investors, entrepreneurs, companies — and our enemies — racing headlong into developing a completely new technology based on Artificial Intelligence. The solution to winning the war of reality against delusion, truth against lies and deception is, first, to understand that our ability to know truth is at the core of the spiritual war ag...2024-02-1706 min
More Wave Less ParticleFear not!Fear not! That two-word phrase appears as a divine command more times in the Bible than any other directive from God’s angels or Jesus. According to one source, the divine command to “Fear not!” or “Fear ye not!” — sometimes translated as “Do not be afraid!” — appears as many as 92 times in the King James Version of the Bible. A few examples:The Gospel of Luke, chapter 1, verses 28-30, tells the story of the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary to tell her that she would conceive and bear the Son of the Lord God, Jesus. The angel said to Mary, “Gre...2024-02-0109 min

So, today, we’ll look at the single greatest weapon we must develop and continuously train with so that we can be effective in the intensifying spiritual war. Our very survival may well depend on it.But we need to begin now to develop and hone this skill in new ways we never imagined to survive and thrive against the existential threats of AI, nuclear war, more pandemics, perhaps even extraterrestrial encounters — and most importantly the spirit...2024-01-1713 min
More Wave Less ParticleThe Most Dangerous QUIET CancelI wish you all a very Happy New Year! As we enter 2024, I want to talk about the MOST DANGEROUS QUIET CANCEL facing us right now … and what we need to do about it. It’s not what you might think. References to a real phenomenon that poses the greatest existential threat to humans and even the entire world ALREADY HAS BEEN ERASED FROM MAINSTREAM CULTURE. This one-word for the ultimate negative energy known to ancient and modern cultures until very recent times is: EVIL.2023-12-3111 min
More Wave Less ParticleTransforming Holiday EnergyIt’s winter solstice — the astronomical event celebrated by many indigenous cultures since ancient times and also the natural event most aligned with modern cultural holidays. Traditions this time of year include family gatherings, fellowship, prayer, song, gift exchanges and celebration. But the hard truth is year-end holidays are a challenging time for so many of us. So, is it possible to take our fears and insecurities, our grief over recent losses, and our weariness of wars and rumors of war, and transform that energy into something more uplifting that can support our hopes and visions for the N...2023-12-2208 min
More Wave Less ParticleThe Superpower of Discerning RealityIn this episode, we discuss how to discern reality. We’re referring here to the inner reality that provides us with access to our inner guidance — the capacity to open ourselves to limitless creativity and possibilities as human beings living in true happiness.So, how do we increase our ability to discern actual and potential realities? Full perception of absolute reality is impossible for humans, but we can start to become aware of it by raising our consciousness. And we do that by eliminating our inner conflicts. That requires engaging in a process of self-searching work. B...2023-12-0911 min
More Wave Less ParticleCosmic Law PrimeOur topic in this episode is cosmic laws. They are not positive laws at all. They are not made up by human minds. They are not rules. And they are not written down in words.I will share with you now the cosmic law prime, the cosmic law first principle, which all other cosmic laws serve. And I warn you ahead of time that your left brain will quickly seek to dismiss it as some platitude or nice idea rather than the golden front gate to cosmic laws. This is normal and natural. In fact, t...2023-11-2109 min

In fact, we must initially figure out where we can go to learn the type of knowledge and skills we need to acquire in order to achieve our desired goal or purpose. In this episode, we’ll discuss how you can gain that knowledge and those skills that can help you develop an ability to work with vital energy in Earth School. The path to achieve happiness lies in gathering both outside, or acquired knowledge, and inner knowledge. We look for acquired knowledge outside of us...2023-11-0709 min
More Wave Less ParticleVital Energy and Cosmic LawsThe purpose of this podcast is to reveal how we can recognize, gather, harness and transform what we’ll call vital energy, and then direct, apply, release and express that energy intentionally to achieve specific goals and purposes. That goal or purpose can be almost anything within the range of human imagination or desire. But here, in this podcast, we will focus on using vital energy as a creative, productive and transcendent force for growth, joy, balance, harmony and peace in human life. 2023-11-0608 min
Black Swan OrangeResurrectionsThe magical nature of energy can turn what appears to be a coffin into a chrysalis. Putting aside conventional definitions, today we’re looking at energy as the phenomenon of ongoing movement and repose throughout the universe that can appear mathematical and magical, subtle and cataclysmic, practical and fractal, but always transformational. 2023-10-0606 min
Black Swan OrangeNationwide Emergency Alert System — A Faltering Sense of SecurityToday, October 4th, at about 2:20 pm EDT, the U.S. government is conducting a test of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System (NEAS). Here is a list of the communication methods the system will use to communicate to everyone about a national threat. The first is … electronic…. Okay, that completes the list of all the communications methods for the Emergency Alert System. In this episode, we’ll be looking at the effectiveness of the NEAS in warning us of two specific catastrophic Black Swan events. 2023-10-0413 min
Black Swan OrangeAsteroid Paper ScissorsThis morning, at 8:52 am, Mountain Daylight Time, 250-grams of Asteroid Bennu struck Earth in the Great Salt Lake Desert … at a speed of approximately 11 miles per hour. No crater was formed by its impact. In this SPECIAL episode, we’ll go deeper into asteroids as potential Black Swans. As part of my situational awareness practice, I was scanning the news headlines early this morning and got hooked by a headline about how NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission “will stop the Asteroid Bennu from shattering Earth" … in 160 years. Sometimes scanning the news is like walking the floor of a gambling ca...2023-09-2405 min
Black Swan OrangeBlack Swan OpportunitiesI’m thrilled to introduce the topic of Positive Black Swans, also known as Black Swan Opportunities. Given that Black Swans are rare, unexpected, and unpredictable, we benefit by having a so-called healthy fear of the negative ones to help break us out of our usual daydream bubble of a mostly calm and predictable daily life. We commonly refer to positive unexpected events and situations as opportunities. In fact, Taleb talks quite a bit about such opportunities, what he calls Positive Black Swans. He writes, "Seize any opportunity or anything that looks like opportunity. They are r...2023-09-2009 min
Black Swan OrangePetite, Gorgeous and to Die ForIt’s been a rough summer. As we count down the waning days of summer post-Labor Day, perhaps what we need is a relaxing day at the beach. The rhythm of the waves breaking, the cry of gulls overhead, children laughing as they run in the surf. Who knows, perhaps we’ll even spot some petite, gorgeous, to-die-for creature relaxing on the sand. In this episode, we’ll turn our eyes and thoughts to such rare and exquisite beauties. And the rare and exotic creatures I’m talking about are Black Swans — of course! Only they don’t look like...2023-09-0607 min
Black Swan OrangeBlack Swan Event "Cygnets" and How to Find ThemWe discuss "Black Swan Event Cygnets" and how to create your own BSO Cygnet Watch List. In nature, a "cygnet" is a swan hatchling. The term Black Swan Cygnet is a good name for a Black Swan Event hatchling, a potential Black Swan Event in the making. Cygnet here seems appropos because it sounds a bit like “signal,” and that’s a good way to think of it.Monitoring such cygnets can be very useful for the same reasons meteorologists monitor a tropical depression or tropical storm forming in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean — which has some prob...2023-08-2317 min
Black Swan OrangeBSO Watch List: Smokin’!In this episode, we’ll start building the BSO Watch List to help us stay informed and aware.

Black Swan OrangeThis Happens: Awareness, Acceptance, ActionIn this episode, we'll explore a framework for staying in truth and reality so that we can make more effective decisions when faced with any situation. This framework sometimes is referred to as the 3 A’s, or awareness, acceptance, and action.
