New Findings in Egypt Tomb
New Findings in Egypt Tomb Because we can’t resist our favorite “reincarnationists” – the Egyptians… Wooden sarcophaguses found in Egypt tomb CAIRO (Reuters) – Japanese archaeologists working in Egypt have found four wooden sarcophaguses and associated grave goods which could date back up to 3,300 years, the Egyptian government said on Thursday. The team from Waseda University in Tokyo discovered the anthropomorphic sarcophaguses in a tomb in the Sakkara necropolis, about 25 km (15 miles) south of Cairo, the Supreme Council for Antiquities said in a statement.

Archive for March, 2009 What The Alchemist Got Right… Oddly, as we advance scientifically it seems as if science itself is becoming more esoteric. For example, Alchemy may be be in the process of “reincarnating” as modern science (see the article below). String theory, chaos theory, and my favorite: Regenerative Medicine (recently a man was able to grow back a fingertip by applying a powder made from pig bladder!) are modern sciences that are nothing short of magical. So, where do we draw the line separating magic from science? Are these two seemingly at odds disciplines actually THE SAME THING? Good as gold What alchemists got right By Stephen Heuser…

A Female Dalai Lama?
A Female Dalai Lama? This is incredibly good news for all of us: Our beloved Dalai Lama is not throwing in the towel. And in other news, he may appoint a woman as his eventually successor. Wow. Dalai Lama Not Retiring After Hospitalization The Dalai Lama May Choose a Woman as His Successor By KAREN RUSSO (ABC News) The Dalai Lama has been hospitalized several times since the summer, including a stay in Delhi last week for a pinched nerve, leading to speculation the aging spiritual leader may be ready for retirement.

Happiness Is Contagious
Happiness Is Contagious In a study reported by the British Medical Journal it was discovered that connections make us happier. “The same team that demonstrated obesity and smoking spread in networks has shown that the more happy people you know, the more likely you are yourself to be happy. And getting connected to happy people improves a person’s own happiness…” This of course comes as no surprise for those of us who religiously use social networks and connect via blogs, websites, and email. I can vouch that when I am in touch with old friends and new friends over the internet I do feel more connected in general and that…

Attack of the Orbs
Attack of the Orbs Paranormal researchers need us to believe in things such as orbs in order to continue their life’s work, so are these researchers really the best folks to be doing the research? It’s certainly not “science”. Is there some better way to conduct such experiments? I think that the credibility of the paranormal community would benefit from more unbiased research. Judge for yourself: Paranormal investigators record orb attack in abandoned hotel/nursing home by Patricia Marin, Ghost Hunting Examiner In Nomine Paranormal Research (INPR), based in Fort Wayne, IN, recently participated in an investigation of the Hotel Rieger in Sandusky, OH with Erie Paranormal Research. INPR is a…

The Skeptic Pope
The Skeptic Pope It’s a miracle! Oh no, it’s not Hotline to heaven: Pope Benedict is concerned by the explosion of ‘mystics’ who claim they can speak to God As the recession deepens, religious observers are braced for an upturn in visions and apparitions of the Virgin Mary and other supernatural Catholic phenomena. Stigmata, the strange bodily marks resembling the wounds of the crucified Jesus, may again start to appear regularly. Statues and icons are expected to bleed, weep and move around, as the world faces its greatest economic crisis since the 1930s. In the depths of the recession of the 1980s, with unemployment rising in Ireland and a prevailing…

What the Stonehenge is This?
What the Stonehenge is This? Considering that sea levels were some 100 meters lower during the last ice age than they are today, just imagine what “coastal” treasures and answers lay just below the surface of the world’s waters? Stonehenge in Lake Michigan? Potentially pre-historic stone formation discovered deep underwater By MATT BARTOSIK The iconic Stonehenge in the UK is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world, but it is not the only stone formation of its kind. Similar stone alignments have been found throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales… and now, it seems, in Lake Michigan. According to BLDGBLOG, in 2007, Mark Holley, professor of underwater…

Reincarnation of The Beasts
Reincarnation of The Beasts I love it when the edge of reality touches the edge of science fiction. I am however not at all anxious for those giant insects they had way-back-when to be resurrected any time soon. Long-extinct creatures like the dodo and woolly mammoth could be brought back to life thanks to scientific advances By Fiona Macrae It has long been synonymous with death. But the dodo could live again, along with other long-extinct creatures from the fearsome sabre-toothed tiger to the lumbering Neanderthal. Other beasts of yesteryear ripe for resurrection include the Tasmanian tiger, the woolly rhinoceros and the glyptodon – a VW Beetle-sized armadillo which last…
