A most amazing woman of the past…
A most amazing woman of the past… Meet explorer, Buddhist and spiritualist Alexandra David-Neel – Probably one of the most remarkable women of her time. I stumbled upon knowledge of her when I was researching Tibet and I am so happy to have found her. In 1911 this fascinating woman went alone to Lhasa and befriended the 13th Dalai Lama when that area of the world was still closed to foreigners. And this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the adventures this woman had in the East (for example, she lived for a while as a spiritual hermit in a cave near the Himalayas.) Why isn’t…

Suborbital spaceflight for everyone?
Suborbital spaceflight for everyone? I have always thought that I’d have to live again in order to have the slightest chance of traveling in space. And I am probably right. But the good news is the technology for space travel could vastly improve travel times around planet Earth. (Hey, it’s worth the ticket price just to get those few seconds of micro gravity!) Commercial Spaceships May Speed up Consumer Air Travel Want to fly anywhere on Earth in less than two hours? By Irene Klotz …Virgin Galactic is scheduled to unveil SpaceShipTwo in California’s Mojave Desert, the first spacecraft for private passenger travel. With several firms working on commercial suborbital…

Biocentrism Says There is No Death, a Past Life Theory Explored In New Crime Drama and Fictional Thriller
Biocentrism Says There is No Death, a Past Life Theory Explored In New Crime Drama and Fictional Thriller Biocentrism is is one of the most compelling new philosophies of existence that I’ve encountered and I’ve spent a lot of time imagining how it could work and what it all must mean. A recent article in the Huffington Post gives a great explanation of the biocentric theory that death does not exist… Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We associate with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests death is not the end.…

One Million Years of Isolation
One Million Years of Isolation There is one thing I know of that really does not seem like it wants to reincarnate: Nuclear waste. How on earth do we quarantine a hazardous material for more than one million years? The “solution” is nothing less than otherworldly – except that it IS on our world, and that is a bit disconcerting. If you haven’t heard of it, you’ll be amazed when you learn about the nuclear waste-entombment site proposed for Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Resembling some new breed of Stargate emerging from the Earth, the tunnel-boring machine at Yucca Mountain reaches daylight; Courtesy of the Department of Energy Abraham Van Luik is…

2009 » December
Archive for December, 2009 Happy New Year! Yes, even the Dalai Lama thinks that Obama’s peace prize was given a little early, but we still need to remain hopeful that 2010 is going to be a great year for us and our country and that things are going to get better. New Year’s Eve is the day where we are invited to reinvent ourselves. It’s a day of hope and a celebration of moving forward with optimism. Now, for fun, let’s take a look at some footage of that that was spotted by countless people in the skies of Norway recently! Emily K. Editor on 31 Dec 2009 | Mysterious…

Creature in Central Park?
Creature in Central Park? Cryptozoology is my secret addiction. I wholeheartedly believe in Bigfoot – but I really do not believe he’s hanging out in Central Park. However, one fellow certainly does… Thank you to Ghosttheory for this great find: Ufologist and Cryptozoologist Nick Redfern posted a really far fetched,but interesting story about a Bigfoot-like creature spotted in New York’s Central Park. As silly as this might sound, the witness appeared sincere in his face to face interview with Nick. It’s important to remember that as skeptical as you are, you have to listen and investigate claims in order to weed-out the hoaxes & misidentified sightings. At times it’s like…

Mammoth Issues
Mammoth Issues The concept of reviving long lost species keeps coming up in conversation lately. I suppose it’s true that we are capable of cloning using captured DNA, even really old DNA, and so this is not just a fantasy anymore, but does humanity have the moral maturity to play god in this way? Doesn’t anyone remember the premise for Jurassic Park? I’d say that humans are still smack dab in the middle of their most extreme materialistic age – and that suggests that the reasons for bringing back extinct beasts may be more greed oriented than compassion oriented. Let’s let the reincarnations remain in the hands of the unknown…

Does Water Have Memory?
Does Water Have Memory? Please enjoy this fascinating 1 Hour 25 Minute Movie about the amazing qualities of… Water. My first thought after I watched this film was that it seems to explain how homeopathy may work. I’ve always been skeptical of homeopathy, but I’ve noticed recently that in some cases it really does seem to work, as if my magic. How can water retain the “memory” of substances long taken out of the water itself? The film has some insight on this - One of the most important tips confirms Dr. Masura Emoto’s research that water memorizes emotions and is contaminated by all the twists and turns it takes…

A lesson that should be remembered…
A lesson that should be remembered… Logging ’caused Nazca collapse’ (BBC) By Jody Bourton Earth News reporter Created by a sophisticated society that crossed the line? The ancient Nazca people of Peru are famous for the lines they drew in the desert depicting strange animal forms. A further mystery is what happened to this once great civilisation, which suddenly vanished 1,500 years ago. Now a team of archaeologists have found the demise of the Nazca society was linked in part to the fate of a tree. Analysing plant remains they reveal how the destruction of forests containing the huarango tree crossed a tipping point, causing ecological collapse. For the rest…
