I had a fascinating and highly inspiring conversation with a good friend in the UK recently. It has my whole being in a scintillating attunement to ‘First Contact’.

Not unlike technology, myths and fairytales are traces from our past, retained and played out in stories which we call fantasy. (See also “Technology and Humanity” and “Telepathy and Humanity”.)

Homo Sapiens - unlike Neanderthals, 1). developed symbolic expression through art and Continue Reading

And so we've not realized what it is saying. 1. The first way in which most people begin to recognize that they are experiencing anger is this: After a boundary has been breached. The purpose of anger in this case is to alert them to Continue Reading
