• Colin Wilson and Faculty X

      New Dawn is a very interesting magazine published in Australia. (It is on line as well as print; a search will find it.) They asked me to give them 700 words on Colin Wilson and the Supernatural, and this is what i gave them.

  • A Place to Stand is available as an ebook

    Bob Friedman tells me that my book about 10 prep sessions at The Monroe Institute is now up on Kindle. I haven’t entered the ebook world, so i don’t know how one downloads it, but he assures me that anyone who owns a Kindle already knows. It is part of his Rainbow Ridge Books line.…

  • Remembering Ed Carter on his birthday

    April 3, 2014, is the 99th birthday of my old friend Ed Carter — J. Edwin Carter — author of Living is Forever and then an investor in Hampton Roads. Ed was a long-time friend of Bob Monroe, and whetted my interest in doing a Gateway even more than it was already. In 1995, Ed…

  • Ed — a poem

    With Ed Carter’s birthday nearly over, I happen across a poem I wrote about him years ago. I don’t know how much this will mean to you, if you have not read Living is Forever. Ed Carter A fall followed by a long rising. Years of reluctant dedication. Like Hedi, like Hugh, his life for…

  • Remembering life on the New Land

    You know how it is. You live somewhere and take some everyday things for granted until after you leave them. I lived on the New Land near The Monroe Institute for 13 years, and have been gone three. I was living amidst great beauty.

  • Darwin’s Lost Theory of Love

    Back in the year 2000, I interviewed psychologist, evolution theorist, and systems scientist David Loye about his book Darwin’s Lost Theory Of Love: A Healing Vision For The New Century. The interview appeared in Magical Blend magazine. I recently came across it, and decided that it deserved more attention than it had received. David Loye…

  • Michael Ventura: The Sadness that Stays

    One of the many things I like about Michael Ventura’s writing — presumably, about his mind, though we have never met — is that he not only doesn’t stop at the easy answers, he doesn’t even pause. He’s always thinking for himself. Have you ever thought how rare that is, in a media-permeated culture such…

  • Coast to Coast

    Just finished my third program with George Noory. He’s always a generous host, and tries to help the guest get his points across. Seems like he’s a good friend of the Monroe Institute, too — he has had a lot of TMI-connected guests over the years. My only regret is that we somehow neglected to…

  • A Place to Stand — Introductory Remarks

    In view of the interest my Coast to Coast AM appearance seems to have generated, I thought I’d post the Introductory Remarks from the book, to give people a taste: Introductory Remarks My friend Gordon Phinn sent me a YouTube recording of himself channeling John F. Kennedy. Watching Gordon balance between worlds, I could sense…
