As we look to distill the essential wisdom on human consciousness that is found in the world’s various spiritual traditions, we learn not to look “out there” to the world of experience for reality, but “in here”, towards the dimension of consciousness itself. “To explore the fundamental nature of the cosmos, we don’t have to travel to outer space, but to inner space; the one thing that we cannot deny and the one...2021-12-1756 min

From four holes drilled in the bone, a Saskatoon musicologist demonstrated that it was a flute. Furthermore, the holes correspond to the four most basic notes on the traditional ‘diatonic scale,’ which modern composers love to revile as an arbitrary recent Western fabrication. Discovered in Slovenia in 1995, it was dated using the Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) technique.

Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left-brain thinking and this shift upset the balance between men and women, initiating the decline of the feminine and ushering in patriarchal rule.

For years we have known that life is an electrical fact; that all vital systems operate electrically. Recently we have found that a cell is a bioelectric wonder - with polarities and energy field effects. Relatively inert substances, like membranes, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and fascia also participate in chemical interaction. These tissue create and carry electrical impulses. Each living animal or plant cell is endowed with intracellular, cellular, and gross structural polarities that furnish living tissue with electromagnetism. Dr. Hunt was a...2021-10-2346 min

It looked and behaved not like an asteroid or cement, but a solar light sail, just as we’d design for a space probe.

Gaining support with new discoveries in astronomy, biology, microbial fossils found in meteorites and micrometeorites, and the search for exoplanets which finds over 100 billion habitable planets, some suggest Panspermia might be "an inevitable fact".

Why and how, and was this inevitable? Where might physics meet up again with metaphysics? Their book is “The Forbidden Universe: The Occult Origins of Science and the Search for the Mind of God”.
