• A Sample from The Sphere and the Hologram

    Although it may seem like I forget it from one month to the next, this website and blog are here not merely to air my opinions about things that (I think!) I know something about. They are also  supposed to lead people to the books in which I have put what I know, as best…

  • Robert Clarke on dreams and the processes of the spirit

    As I look through emails from my friend Robert Clarke, who passed over to the other side last month, I find this, which should be of interest. Perhaps it gives a glimpse of the depth of meaning hidden in symbolism of dreams and mythology.

  • The unsuspected value of reading

    The points of view I retrieve from talking to the other side are sometimes surprising. Yesterday I merely asked my friend Joseph Smallwood what he thought of Allan Nevins’ The Ordeal Of The Union that I am reading, and got another point of view about what really happens when any of us read and think, no…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (5)

    Connecting to other parts of ourselves Back when I was still new to all this I discovered John Cotton, a “past life” of mine living in Virginia in the 1700s. Eventually I “retrieved” him, which it seems to me amounts to my having lifted myself by my own bootstraps. I was told later that I…

  • A sample from my novel Babe in the Woods

    The narrator, Angelo Chiari, is a news reporter in his fifties, comes to a Monroe-like program as a skeptic. In the course of the week, a lot of things open up for him – or perhaps we should say, he opens up to things, as various experiences present opportunities. As for instance on Tuesday night,…

  • The Four Stages Of Alchemy

    My friend Jim Price forwards this interesting information, which he received in a series of dreams.  It seems to be about alchemy, but as will be seen it is about awareness.

  • Deriding today’s idols

    John Anthony West derides what he calls the Church of Progress. Me too. I am really tired of people pretending they are profound when in fact they are merely sheep following trends. The trend of the past tiresome century, and this one to date, is to regard religion as superstition, as if  blind faith in…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (6)

    Illusions of time, illusions of space Separation in space produces the illusion – or perhaps it would be better to say the condition – of separation, of individuality, of non-belonging, of difference, in a way that would not be possible otherwise. The guys upstairs once said that there is separation non-physically in a way but…

  • Two lessons from Zimbabwe’s past and present

    My friend Jim sent me (and the others on his list) an extremely interesting article titled “Zimbabwe: A Fresh Start.” (To read it, go to http://www.kitco.com/ind/Field/nov112009.html.) With others, Jim thinks that the U.S. dollar is going to “go Zimbabwe.” Maybe so, maybe no. History is rarely predictable, and almost never apocalyptic. But, who knows, maybe…

  • If reincarnation is real…

     A friend sent a reference to an interview on Whitley Strieber’s Dreamland concerning young James Leininger, the boy who remembered being a fighter pilot in World War II, a story I have been following for several years. I haven’t been able to figure out how to listen to the actual interview, but this essay from…
