a real Atlantean discovery | some free thinking
Sometimes you have to let your mind slip outside of the box as a mental health exercise. With that, some outside-the-box thinking might even come your way. This morning, I stumbled upon ‘Alternate Perceptions Magazine’, and it made for some great Saturday morning reading over a few cups of coffee. Of particular interest, were a…
Read MoreMermaids | in Context
A friend recently reminded me (Trove Boutiques) of just one reason our hearts and minds turn to the sea, particularly at a very young age. This one element, often considered fantasy in our adult years, but quite possibly representing a critical missing link in human evolution – mermaids. The first known mermaid stories appeared in…
Read Moreevolution or devolution & a case for superhumans
Homo sapiens have walked planet Earth for some 250,000 years plus or minus some reasonable margin of error in evolutionary history. On one hand, we might argue that we have evolved and are continuing to evolve as a species, in response to current environmental, social, and behavioral stimuli. On the other hand, one might argue…
Read MoreEdgar Cayce’s Atlantis | a review
There is nothing short of the word ‘rivetting’ to adequately describe Edgar Cayce’s visions of Atlantis. Coupled with the fact that such insight came from a Kentucky farm boy at the turn of the 20th century adds an even greater sense of bewilderment. ‘Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis’, authored by Drs……….

Read Moreyet another ‘last frontier’ | Red Bull Stratos Project
It’s in our genetic code to defy perceived limitations ‘in search of’. That is what drives exploration, and the continued evolution of our species. While I’m personally committed to the ocean frontier, that is perhaps not the last frontier here on Planet Earth. This guy, Felix Baumgartner, is right there on the edge. As part…
Read MoreThe Life Aquatic | a Reality
Having recently been asked to reflect on the past ten years of my life in an interview, I realized that the journey and the dream, one boondoggle (Yes, ‘boondoggle’ is the technical term we actually use for scientific ‘expeditions’) at a time, is far from over. I thought long and hard about how to best…
