In the best-selling book on the planet, the following line was printed: “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” I’m not sure why I’m quoting the Bible, because I don’t like anything about what the book has come to stand for: lack, limitation, fear, crowd thinking, hypocrisy, exclusionism, etc. But let me give you [...]

As a researcher of metaphysics, interviewer, writer, and just plain open-minded explorer of  all things that help us humans DISCOVER, CONTRIBUTE and get RESULTS, I’ve seen and heard some fascinating “stuff.” Things that make me jump up and down and yell, “Holy @#$%… that was very cool,” and things that cause me to shake my [...]
