The Cosmic ClassroomEpisode 14: Numerology
What's your number?
Turns out there's a few, and we'll find out what they are. In this episode we'll take a closer look at numerology (known once upon a time as arithmancy) -- its history, the methods, and a few examples.
I've always loved numerology, but studying it now has given me a few new insights into myself. I hope you discover something new and exciting as we take this journey.
We'll also learn what's going on in the skies this month...

The Cosmic ClassroomEpisode 13: Tools of the TradeIn this episode I'll discuss the four main tools I'll use: numerology, astrology, human design, and tarot.
We'll also see how artists use data from space telescopes to create images of alien worlds (aka exoplanets.) Science isn't just for the classroom or textbook--it can be used to create beautiful art and music!

The Cosmic ClassroomEpisode 6: Scalar Energy Part 2In this episode, we continue our discussion about scalar energy. Last time we talked about the definition of scalar waves and the principle of quantum entanglement. This time we'll talk about scalar energy as it pertains to consciousness and healing.
Are our thoughts scalar waves? Can scalar waves interact with our physical bodies? Can we show that scalar waves exist?
Let's take a random walk and find out!

The Cosmic ClassroomEpisode 3: The Music of the SpheresAncient philosophers believed that the celestial bodies make music and move in perfect harmony. Astronomer Johannes Kepler coined the phrase musica universalis, also known as the music of the spheres.
Both Pythagoras and Kepler believed that music could heal the soul and that the harmonies of the cosmos could only be heard by the soul.

To quote Ronald Reagan, "There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits to human intelligence, imagination, and wonder."
