Given that we think in language, and that words are a poor substitute for what we really mean, we need a new way to communicate. We will still use language, of course, and the contents of what we communicate need to be different. Some of the most useful and revolutionary work I have come across is Non-Violent Communication by Marshall...

I'm still unsure what to expect from this site. I can connected 100% with it's introduction but not sure just how much I'll get from that. I think space and religion are connected as one and that we all live in one dimensions. However the afterlife belongs to many different dimensions. Space are those dimensions. Maybe some day I'll express...

Dream are cool. have you heard of lucid dreaming? It's when you become aware that you are dreaming and are able to control it. I have only experienced this twice in my life when I was much younger, around age 10 or so.

The Tunguska event is the largest impact event in recent history. An explosion of this magnitude had the potential to devastate large metropolitan areas had it occurred over a large city. This possibility has helped to spark discussion of asteroid deflection strategies. Full article:

The Open Mind Believer I describe myself to myself and myself to others as an open and free mind, and quite often when asked to explain this narrative I say that I am a great believer. It is kind of circular I know; yet to really define what is an open and free mind I must refer to this most primal of human motivations, namely...

Enter: The Transbeing Frank Herbert wrote that: “The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.” And of course who in his true and integrated mind will not agree to this statement?
