• Hemingway: The purpose of our book

    Like anybody else, I get discouraged, sometimes. But, like anybody else (including the Beatles) I get by with a little help from my friends. Sunday, July 10, 2011 6 AM. A little bit discouraged, Papa. I have just about roughed-in the first draft, and I am wondering if I am not on the wrong track.…

  • Tapping into the Cosmic Internet

    A friend sent me the following URL with the comment, “This is part of an advertisement for Silva Mind Control, but it reminded me so much of you I had to send it to you.” Having watched it, I had to agree. I am not in a position to  endorse Silva Mind Control because I…

  • Jung: Our needs and desires are always active

    A. I. Allenby visited Carl Jung soon after World War II. This excerpt from his description of his visit is from the book C. G. Jung Speaking, page 158. Another time Jung reverted to the problem of self-doubt, using a further example by way of illustration. “Our needs and desires are always active,” he said.…

  • Tapping into the net — revisited

    Reader Dave Stephens posted a long reply to my “Tapping Into the Cosmic Internet” entry, and  asked questions that were sufficiently interesting that I asked, and got, his permission to post them here as a separate post, since not everybody reads the comments people send. I started to reply, then realized that I didn’t know what…

  • Graham Hancock – It is written in stone

    My friend Larry Giannou sent me this link to Graham Hancock’s presentation given to the 2012 Tipping Point Prophets Conference with the comment, “Thought you might enjoy this” — He was so right! I had the pleasure of listening to Hancock, Robert Bauval, Colin Wilson, John Anthony West, Rand Flem-Ath and others in 1995, at…

  • Hemingway and revolutions

    Monday, June 18, 2011 Reading Norberto Fuentes’ Hemingway in Cuba, not well organized or thought out but a valuable point of view. Papa, how does it strike you? It provides good leverage to turn your attention and your insight in ways I probably couldn’t do directly. And this is worth a line or two of…

  • Cosmic Internet feedback

    You know those old recruiting posters, “Uncle Sam Needs YOU!”? Well, at the moment I need you more than he does. Customer reviews on Amazon are important in helping people to decide if they want to take a chance on a book. So far, The Cosmic Internet has had only two reviews, and one of…

  • Gordon Phinn on reincarnation

    My friend Gordon Phinn writes an interesting blog,  http://anotherwordofgord.wordpress.com/ and in today’s entry he touches on the issue of reincarnation. If you’ve read either The Sphere and the Hologram or The Cosmic Internet, you’ll know that my views on reincarnation, as shaped by what the guys have been telling me, don’t match the common view. But…

  • Hemingway on the problem of biography

    Tuesday, July 19, 2011 7 AM. Reading Hotchner’s Hemingway And His World, now. A reason that people can’t get his life straight is that there are too many parts to remember. So, if there’s a long stretch when he isn’t publishing (regardless if he is writing) it looks like a blank patch. Or if he…

  • Deepak Chopra: Consciousness is all

    This, via the Monroe Institute’s website, is Deepak Chopra explaining in four minutes the scientific reasons to believe that the primary basis of existence is neither matter nor energy (whatever “energy” might be, divorced from its context of matter!) but consciousness. I am no physicist, but this feels right. I suppose that, in context, “feels right”…
