"If we can dream of a future, it may well be within our grasp, to make that future our reality. It has often been said, that to peer into the depths of creation, and "to KNOW, brings an individual to the threshold of new responsibilities". Once placed upon the path of ever deepening insight, into the Universal Forces that govern our existence, an observer may also come to appreciate the intricate, and often startling relationships between art, philosophy, religion, and science. Many historical greats understood this..."

"If you've seen Rupert Sheldrake plugging his book "Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home: And Other Unexplained Powers of Animals" on your television, you may assume he's just some new-age Dr. Dolittle, exploring your pooch and kitty's potential as mind readers. There's much more to Sheldrake than animalistic ESP. He is as brilliantly "out there" as Wilhelm Reich or Ludwig Wittgenstein. Nearly 21 years ago, Sheldrake postulated in his first book, "A New Science of Life," that there is no such thing as na..."

"Arthur Koestler Contrary to the impression in BBC Television's Sea of Souls the Koestler Parapsychology Unit at Edinburgh University, on which the drama series is loosely based, is staffed with serious academic parapsychologists. Irked as they are to be misrepresented as ghostbusting fruitcakes, the publicity gained for their subject may not be unwelcome. Part of the university’s psychology department, the unit is located in sparse rooms in a labyrinthine building in George Square. Caroline Watt, acting head..."

"I have read less than a handful of books that can be said to have influenced my way of thinking. Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision has not only been one of them, in the end it totally changed my life. In this work Velikovsky proposed that, in the distant past, but still within man's memory, the planet Jupiter ejected from itself a smaller but sizeable body that careened across the solar system in the form of a giant comet. Coming into close contact with Earth, but avoiding an actual collision, this comet..."

"JAKARTA, May 19 (UPI) -- Differing theories about the 18,000-year-old "Hobbits" or little people found on an Indonesian island 1 1/2 years ago were published in Science magazine. Primatologist Robert D. Martin, provost of Chicago's Field Museum, says it is impossible that a human weighing only 64 pounds with a brain 23.2 cubic inches could make the sophisticated tools found with the so-called "Hobbits."..."

"Consciousness defines our existence and reality, but the mechanism by which the brain generates thoughts and feelings remains unknown. Most explanations portray the brain as a computer, with nerve cells ("neurons") and their synaptic connections acting as simple switches. However computation alone cannot explain why we have feelings and awareness, an "inner life."..."

"Most serious crop circle researchers agree that a majority of the formations are not being made by the human specie, and seem to be symbolic messages from an unknown, high intelligence. The researchers include people with advanced degrees in science and engineering. The reason is that the evidence supports the theory that human beings could not have made many of the some 10,000 crop circles world wide. Of course people can make circles that look "genuine" at first site. That was demonstrated more than ten years ago..."
