• The Threshold to the Other Side

    From http://www.damninteresting.com/the-threshold-to-the-other-side, via a friend. The Threshold to the Other Side Written by Jason Bellows on 24 April 2006 The phenomenon of near death experiences (NDEs) are as old as life itself, and to some people they are spiritual and moving tales that affirm a life after death, and interpreted as indisputable proof of the existence…

  • A choice….

    This came via a friend’s mass-mailing to his list. (I’ve cleaned it up a little.) The author is unknown. As I read it, I thought, “the guys upstairs couldn’t have said it any better.” And in fact it is a major recurring theme in The Sphere and the Hologram. The piece had no title. I…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (3)

    As I said last week, most people find it hard to formulate a believable vision of the afterlife. As the minds that I call The Guys Upstairs once said (via writing),  “It is from lack of a plausible model more than from any other single thing that the division between seen and unseen world has come to…

  • Two dreams

    I believe in dreams. They have meaning, even though we can’t always figure out just what the meaning is. I think these two recent dreams may be of significance to more people than only myself. The first I call Waters, Rising.

  • Bill’s Right Brain

    What happens when a social-activist lawyer — a good guy by all accounts — suddenly has his “scientific” assumptions trumped by reality? This story is from the Sacramento News & Review, published on August 20, 2009.

  • We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming…

    I had promised to continue my series of posts on So You Think Your Life Was Wasted every Friday, but I have been ill this month, and found myself unable to provide this week’s installment. Sorry. Next week, hopefully.

  • Robert B. Clarke

    Robert Clarke and I met virtually (i.e. by email) about a decade ago, through English author Colin Wilson, who was a friend of each of us. Hampton Roads published Robert’s first book, The Four Gold Keys, though I wasn’t the one to edit it. The following year, 2003, I traveled to England and made a…

  • Robert’s Warning Dream

    I have been going through emails to and from my friend Robert Clarke, who moved over to the other side early Thursday morning English time — late Wednesday in America — and came across this that he sent me just slightly more than one year ago. What he (and his dream) says isn’t fashionable. Don’t…

  • Colin Wilson on Robert Clarke

    Back in 2002, Hampton Roads published Robert Clarke’s first book, The Four Gold Keys, featuring a foreword by writer Colin Wilson, through whom Robert and I had  become acquainted. Hampton Roads subsequently published Robert’s second book, and Hologram Books is going to publish his subsequent works in the coming year. The Four Gold Keys being now…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (4)

    Our present task is to do a Copernican Shift. Copernicus, you know, realized that the center of the solar system is not the earth, but the sun. Once he put the center in the center, all the phenomena that had been charted for so many thousand years were suddenly seen in a different light. That…
