The Great Book In The Sky
The Great Book In The Sky Synchronicity. Is it happening to you more thanusual lately? I’ve been doing a lot of research on the paradigm shift that is supposed to occur in 2012 (according to various prophesies we are heading for the End Times, others expect the beginning of something mystical and wonderful), and there seems to be an overwhelming sense out there that coincidence and serendipity are the horsemen of this particular “apocalypse”. Are coincidences just coincidences? Even for the most skeptical, it’s hard to deny the weirdness when it happens to you. My husband, a down to earth sort of guy, had a dream featuring an an ex…

Monument for the Apocalypse
Monument for the Apocalypse I can’t decide whether this is an optimistic statement for the tenacity of our species, or a pessimistic view on the fate of our world? What do you think? American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse By Randall Sullivan (Wired) The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it’s hard not to think immediately of England’s Stonehenge or possibly the…

Happy Easter Reincarnationists
Happy Easter Reincarnationists Easter is about reincarnation. Renewal of body, mind and spirit. Here is a lovely and inclusive piece reflecting on this time of year from America: The National Catholic Weekly Paramahamsa Yogananda I: on Holy Thursday by Francis X. Clooney, S.J. Cambridge, MA. In this Holy Week, we are of course invited to quiet ourselves down, pull back a bit, and reflect on the meaning of our lives, in light of the death and resurrection of Jesus. We are fortunate to have an abundance of aids in this reflection, ranging from the Bible and the liturgies of the Triduum to myriad homilies, spiritual writings, works of music and…

diaphanous spirit
diaphanous spirit Here is a lovely piece from Daily Om - Journey of the Senses: Incense Meditation When we focus on incense sticks during meditation, we move into a mystical space that is both physical and spiritual at once. Like us, the incense stick is earthbound with an ember that burns for only a finite time, but the diaphanous spirit it releases is unbound by time or space. Rather than shutting down our senses to focus on an inner realm, incense involves our senses as we follow whirling smoke upward and outward while we take its scent into us, filling us as we breathe. The journey starts with a flame,…

What The Alchemist Got Right…
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 (The Boston Globe) THREE…

The Greatest Archaeological Discovery Ever?
The Greatest Archaeological Discovery Ever? Very compelling evidence, indeed! Do these mysterious stones mark the site of the Garden of Eden? By Tom Knox For the old Kurdish shepherd, it was just another burning hot day in the rolling plains of eastern Turkey. Following his flock over the arid hillsides, he passed the single mulberry tree, which the locals regarded as ‘sacred’. The bells on his sheep tinkled in the stillness. Then he spotted something. Crouching down, he brushed away the dust, and exposed a strange, large, oblong stone. The man looked left and right: there were similar stone rectangles, peeping from the sands. Calling his dog to heel, the…

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…
