It has been suggested that those who seek to understand ancient forms of divination, or at the very least attempt to use ancient techniques of divination, are searching for a new way to connect to our world. “New” in the sense that it defies the modern sensibility of treating the world as strictly a material [...]
I was listening to a recent episode of Coast to Coast AM and was blown away by the message Billy Meier had to share with the world. Previously, I only thought of his as a controversial figure in the world of UFOs where he was, to my mind, characterized as a bit of a fraudster. [...]
I have long been trying to figure out how to overthrow the yoke of oppression that constrains us all. I have only recently realized that I have been trying to play the wrong game. I was trying to beat the rules. This is foolish, this is inefficient to say the least. It is double the [...]
It lit up the night sky. First responders were scrambled but there was much confusion as to the cause of the event. An investigation was demanded. Some described a massive explosion that erupted in the dark night without warning; the blast felt far away while some claimed to have seen a red fire ball making [...]

After contemplating a new direction I have decided to put it into full swing – just in time for the new year, 2012. I’ve remodeled the site to feature a magazine layout. More pictures make it flashier I suppose. I think the most important thing is to make the site easy to navigate and rich [...]

I am contemplating a new direction from Phrenes.com. I think I can continue to make this project a headspace for myself, and randomly share thoughts with others who come across it, or I can expand and make this a project for all. It seems that the time is now to collaborate and work with others. [...]

Interesting interview on Coast to Coast. I would say recently, but it was back in September. The interview was with Dr. Bruce Lipton, someone I am intrigued by. He wrote the book “The Biology of Belief” – I highly recommend everyone to read it. Here is a tidbit from Coast’s website that kind of summarizes [...]

In this post I will collect some ideas about how to easily sense chi/prana, etc. If you’re a skeptic, it can’t hurt to try but it is important that you keep an open mind when searching for the truth. If you think it won’t work, then it won’t. But what would be the point in [...]

The New York Times recently published an article that shows archaeological evidence from the Ukraine reveals a network of ancient peoples now referred to simply as Old Europe. Due to the lack of writing, still an invention waiting to be discovered, the civilization is unidentified. Their advancements as a culture, however, make them prime candidates [...]

I think there is a lot we can learn by examining how people in the desert “harvest” water. Everyone likes to cite how rough it is in today’s economy, but it seems we often forget that times of crisis can also lead us to innovative breakthroughs and new ideas. Sometimes, we just need the proper [...]

As a teacher, we are asked to pay attention to a lot of things and to minimize distractions. But what if we could take a distraction and use it as a learning tool? Text messages for pop quizzes? Using your camera phone for homework assignments? It’s not far from reality, some schools are starting to [...]

It looked like some tricked out alien big top from outer space. And why not, NASA just launched rockets into the moon, maybe this is the diplomatic response. If so fly me to the moon because this concert reflected the architecture it was set underneath. I’ll attach a few photos and video that I took [...]
