Electrifying Eco-Resort
As some of you may have already gathered, my journey here in Asia has increasingly focused on what is called ‘mysticism’ by some, and quantum physics by others. Chi, prana, kundalini, chakras, universal energy, zero-point energy, etc. The words (and the traditions from which they derive) are less important to me than the underlying phenomena … Continue reading
I see dead people, Bali-style
My short story, “Bali Magic”, is one of five finalists in the Bali-High.com community blog contest. Bali Magic “Michael!!” she screamed as I parked my bike at the warung restaurant. What the hell?? I had never been to this village before or even to this part of Bali. I was staying at an eco-luxury resort down … Continue reading
One week in Indonesia
A taste of my past week here in Indonesia: Research: Digging in deeper into my research about profound manifestations of ‘energy’ (chi, kundalini, prana, mystical – the names matter much less than the phenomena themselves and related implications), developing a database of people around the world with X-Men type abilities, and exploring similarities and dissimilarities from … Continue reading
They call me the seeker …
When I land a Prime Time TV series, the theme music will have to be The Seeker by The Who! Basing myself in Bali, I’ve begun diving into exploring the region’s mystical mysteries. Beneath the relatively thin veneer of modernity (including motorscooter-clogged roads, gaggles of Eat, Pray, Love tourists, and Aussie Spring-Break seeking partiers), there’s … Continue reading
Seven months in America
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” – Einstein “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” – Clinton “Cuz, remember: no matter where you go … there you are.” - Buckaroo Banzai + + + In just over a week, I’ll be … Continue reading
Star Trek, Cousin Alfred & Cancer Research
I’m exploring my 95-year-old cousin Alfred’s breakthrough cancer detection research from the 1970s, in which he applied electricity to a drop of blood sitting upon NASA-created liquid crystals, and took remarkable photographs of the resulting color patterns. Here’s Alfred in a 1982 “In Search of” TV episode, hosted by Leonard “Spock” Nemoy: In nearly all test cases, … Continue reading
Bookmarks of an incredible journey
Sacred Geometry. Spontaneous Remission. The conspiracy film Thrive. My web browser is quickly filling up with dozens of folders and scores of bookmarks – in the past few days, I’ve added wikipedia entries on fractals, lucid dreaming, geomagnetic reversal, quantum mysticism and Peru’s Nazca lines. I’ve watched a YouTube video in which a steady stream of … Continue reading
The universe is a symphony
When Michio Kaku talks, people should listen. Not because when, as a high school student, he built a particle accelerator in his family’s garage. Or because Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb, tried to recruit him (unsuccessfully) into a Star Wars weapons development program. Listening to him yesterday being interview by NPR’s Terry Gross (transcript), I … Continue reading
How Old Man Cerini saved Straus Family Creamery
As I write, the season’s first major rain is falling on our fields. I’m reminded of a winter, 35 years ago during the drought of 1976-77, when our family farm, like so many others here in northern California, teetered on the edge of dissater. Bone-dry wells and powder-dry reservoirs lay barren, unable to quench the voluminous … Continue reading
People (and fish) who see energy
Recently, my close friend ‘Barbara’ revealed an unusual experience: she can see energy. It happened like this – some years ago, after being led through a meditation practice which focused on feeling energy flow through the body, she began (and continues, to this day) to see energy: It’s like seeing heat waves coming off an … Continue reading
