• Reprogramming your robots

    I gave a talk yesterday at a local group called Chrysalis, and it occurred to me that the topic of my talk might be of interest to more people than were in the audience. So here it is. Reprogramming Your Robots – a précis By Frank DeMarco One thing about psychic stuff is that it doesn’t…

  • Worrying about the prospect of death

    Angel Capellon, in Hemingway and the Hispanic World, has a chapter on “Hemingway’s Tragic Sense of Life,” in which he argues that Hemingway’s attitude toward death — and therefore toward life — was very Spanish, and of course I agree. However, on page 166, he quotes Miguel de Unamuno (in The Tragic Sense of Life)…

  • Star Wars and Hemingway

    Mental life takes funny bounces. Because of something else I’d seen on YouTube, I watched the three-part series on Jung. Because that series referenced something in Star Wars as an example of modern myth, I wound up re-watching the Star Wars trilogy video tape that I bought a few years ago. And because I had…

  • Healing energy for Carol: A Call for help

    The Monroe Institute’s Executive Director, Carol Sabick de la Herran, has been in the hospital ten days now, suffering among other things from pneumonia and exhaustion, and I’m asking my friends to join me in getting more proactive. I know from long experience that people can send healing energies to others, merely by focusing their…

  • We’re not alone, and we don’t have to work alone

    As I had suggested to others, I have begun sending healing energy to TMI Executive Director Carol Sabick de la Herran (for whatever her own higher self decides, you understand, not trying to mandate a specified result) three times a day. Yesterday, each time when I began, I asked for the active assistance of a…

  • Connection

    As the work-week begins, a reminder that Carol Sabick de la Herran still needs any prayers/gifts of energy/goodwill you can find it in yourself to send, and can remember to send. I find that making a point of being in connection a couple of minutes three times a day is not only no burden, but…

  • Romans versus catholics

    I have just finished re-reading How the Irish Saved Civilization, a book that raises in me alternations of admiration, exasperation, irritation and, ultimately,  profound gratitude. I suppose that shouldn’t be surprising in a book written by an Irishman! 🙂 His final paragraph rises to brilliant, prophetic insight: Perhaps history is always divided into Romans and…

  • Carol’s condition worsening

    Just received this from TMI about Carol Sabick de la Harran. On the one hand, while I don’t have any inside information one way or the other, it does feel like the end may be near. I woke up feeling that, and got an email from a friend saying: “I’ve felt Carol de la Herran…

  • Independence for Carol

    For all my friends who joined with those of the greater Monroe Institute community in sending prayers, healing energy and loving support to TMI Executive Director Carol de la Herran: TMI announced today that Carol made her transition to the other side at noon today. As I said when I first asked people to assist…

  • Light from within

    I have come across a most remarkable book, And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance (originally published 1963), that I highly recommend. One of the heroes of the French Resistance in World War II was a teenager who had been blind from age seven yet who discovered within…
