Our planet has mind-blowing diversity among its many truly amazing creatures. Even in the simplest creatures is incredible complexity, each one born with the innate ability to flourish in its own unique environment. That’s not to mention the more complex, fascinating creatures, six of which are the subjects of this article. Within Earth is an infinite number of…

Interesting Near-Death Experiences
I’ve written about a couple near-death experiences (NDEs) here and here, but I wanted to discuss a few more because: 1. We’re all curious about what happens when we die; 2. Reading about them is comforting and makes it easier to keep everything in perspective, which enables us to be happier in general; 3. They’re entertaining as hell.…

A Spectrum of Matter? Food for Thought
What if there’s a spectrum of matter just like the electromagnetic spectrum? The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is but a tiny slice of the entire thing, which I discussed here. Maybe the visible portion of a possible spectrum of matter is just a tiny sliver of the full spectrum. Just like we cannot…

The Power of Belief: Dissociative Identity Disorder
Artwork by Viktoryia Kryvanos Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder) shows us the true power of belief. People with DID have at least two distinct personalities. That means completely different people can occupy the very same physical body.

The Placebo Effect: Curing Ourselves with Thoughts and Beliefs
I hear it all the time: “Yeah but it was just the placebo effect,” dismissing the net result, no matter how profound. A test group is given a cancer medication, a control group is given a placebo. 80% of the cancer in the test subjects was cured, but 80% was also cured in the control…

Amazing Earth
Whenever I think about our amazing Earth and just life in general, which is often, my mind is blown so exhaustively that it feels like I’m on drugs. It all seems like a big joke, in a good way, or a game. I just want to go over a few things today and talk about…

The Lyrebird
Every once in a while you’ll see something and be totally amazed by it. I was recently made aware of the lyrebird, a ground-dwelling bird native to Australia. First and less importantly than its main skill, it’s a beautiful creature with a colorful plume. Second (and this is what makes the bird amazing), it is…

The Illusion of Solidity
Yet another evil scheme perpetrated upon us by the increasingly corrupt Universal Government of Beings: the illusion of solidity. We never actually touch anything, although obviously it seems we do. When we think of “touch” we think the space between our fingers and the keyboard, for example, is zero. The solid parts of our fingers…

Dynamo Jack – Qi Master
Within each one of us is powerful life energy or life force that the Chinese refer to as Qi (pronounced CHEE). There are ways to harness that energy and project it outward for powerful effects. Many Qi masters use their skills to heal others. Dynamo Jack is one of them. Science is currently unable to…
