• Questions from listeners

    The Coast to Coast AM radio interview with George Noory led  a couple of people a send questions that I will try to answer here. 1. Coincidence v. free choice

  • Joseph Felser on The Cosmic Internet

    “The Cosmic Internet is filled with provocative insights, great intelligence, warm humor, and above all, the passionate quest for truth. Much more than a fascinating record of conversations with ‘non-physical friends’ from ‘the other side,’ it stands as an eloquent testimony to the author’s courage in publicly grappling with the central questions of human existence:…

  • What, here still?

    My friend Charles Sides has a nice entry in his blog this morning that probably applies to lots more people than one would commonly think. It begins like this: A year ago yesterday I moved into the lake house with a goal to experience unitive consciousness. I viewed this as an escape from earthly existence.…

  • Alice Dreger: Is anatomy destiny?

    Another of the splendid TED series of videos. This person’s informed opinion about the political results of different anatomy leads her to wider-reaching speculation, and the posing of problems that seem only theoretical now, but will soon engulf us if not dealt with, I suspect. Or, more likely, they will engulf us and then we…

  • Inner Emptiness — its cause and cure

    This is from Margaret Paul’s column in The Huffington Post. Good analysis, I’d say. Good advice. The Cause of Inner Emptiness (And What to Do About It) by Margaret Paul, PhD. Posted: 06/ 2/11 08:16 AM ET Click here to view the original article Do you often feel empty inside? Do you believe that others…

  • “You can experience God every day.”

    If I had the time and energy, and were scholar enough, I would write a history of the 20th century as the century of the great war about God. It has reached end-game status in our time, I think. Those who believe in God and those who believe in No-God stand and glare at each…

  • Michael Ventura on (the author of) The Cosmic Internet

    ”Frank DeMarco is an adventurer of the intellect and of the spirit. He challenges our definitions of reality with compassionate, down-to-earth writing. If this is mysticism, it’s a singularly practical mysticism.” — Michael Ventura, author of The Zoo Where You’re Fed to God For other quotes, and to see the cover in full color, and…

  • Watching the bounce

    Ever since I appeared on Coast to Coast AM on June 1, I have been looking in at Amazon to see the size and duration of any boost in sales attributable to the show. I’m interested not only in The Cosmic Internet, but my earlier books, as well: The Sphere and the Hologram, Muddy Tracks,…

  • Central Virginia IONS

    Today (Saturday, June 18, 2011) I had the pleasure of speaking about “The Cosmic Internet” to about 40 people of the Central Virginia chapter of Institute of Noetic Sciences, in Richmond. My friends Dave Garland and Linda Rogers accompanied me and staffed a table offering  my six books for sale, and in general offered  moral…

  • Plants ‘Can Think And Remember’

    I’ve been sitting on this for a while, mostly because it got lost in my files. It appeared in the SchwartzReport for July 17, 2010, but it is no less relevant today, and will be no less relevant next years. Things change slowly, in certain directions. Nonetheless, regardless who glacially slowly, they do change. Editor…
