The End of A World

“Many will find it difficult to hear beyond

the deafening roar of the engines of deceit.”

The Phoenix returned to its ashes recently, both literally and symbolically. A new son [...]

The Political Charade, Act II: Still Spinning

The master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself. -Tao Te Ching # 45

Planet X, the Man on Mars, and Heath Ledger

I am consistently brought back again and again to thoughts of Planet X. It seems no matter where I look these days, something or someone is reminding me of the warnings I’ve had in my own spirit now for many years, and it seems to be accelerating. Reading the Kolbrin Bible [...]

Notes from the Surf XVI

Truly well done article on the astrological forecast for 2008 over at Reality Sandwich.

Cosmic Perturber?

Does our sun have a sister star? In his 2005 book Lost Star of Myth and Time, author and amateur archaeo-astronomer Walter Cruttenden pushed the envelope of accepted astronomy when he theorized that our own Earth is part of a binary star system. Cruttenden’s video based on that book, The Great Year, [...]

Whether one believes the Powers-That-Be are conspiring to bring about the End of the World, believes fervently in a religious prophecy or other eschatology, or simply [...]
