Ralph Ring and Otis T Carr made a saucer vehicle that turned blue (aqua, actually) and caused the passengers to lose memory and sense of time when they went for spin. Mr. Carr claimed to have worked with the great Nikola Tesla where he, Carr, learned some secrets. The big question is: What’s real? This […]

I’ve been reading quite a fascinating book lately, Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, by Paul A. LaViolette, Ph.D. I don’t recall how I came to buy this book because I’m not big on reading anything that promises to tell me the secrets of. Some of the math in the book was daunting for me, but you […]

The thing is, things are a huge problem. ~Two-bit Guru~ As I’ve written previously, the Pachamama Alliance recognizes that we in the industrial world are in a trance. In my estimation this trance is centered on greed, power, destruction of nature, and ultimately results in an ocean of things that are bad for the environment. […]

Notice: Since the end of the world may occur tomorrow, you might want to hold off starting this project until Saturday, if there is a Saturday. If there is no Saturday, it’s been nice knowing you. Do you remember those big old heat registers at Grandma’s house? They were vertical against the wall and the […]

In my last post I ventured into the fascinating area of science on the edge, either the edge of discovery or the edge of foolishness, depending on one’s point of view. In this post I’d like to delve deeper into on-the-edge, not in relation to the material world but rather in relation to the inner […]

After I wrote the free energy post last time, I began wondering how many people would react to it with a negative judgment. Some time ago I wrote that science doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. That’s true in the sense of the damage manipulative “science” can do and it’s also true that the “scientist” […]

“A new idea is first condemned as ridiculous and then dismissed as trivial, until finally, it becomes what everybody knows.” ~William James~ I am fascinated by alternate energy, not merely wind generators and solar panels and geothermal installations, but the more exotic alternative free energy, such as LENR devices, electromagnetic high frequency contraptions, anti-gravity, engines […]

When, decades ago, I first heard about the Devas, I thought the people who dreamed them up must have been crazy, stupid, drugged, impractical, or all four. It wasn’t only the Devas. It was the nature deities and the elementals as well, gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders (apparently not the salamanders from biology class but […]

In my last post we visited the world of a hypothetical couch potato and made him/her into a hypothetical entrepreneur. Stories like these comprise a facet of the American Dream, that says anybody can come up with a gimmick and make a fortune, and indeed sometimes it does happen. Even though I invented our couch […]

What is it about seedlings that raises a surge of delight the moment you realize those little seeds have successfully sprouted? It’s probably the same thing that causes us to go ooooh when we see kittens, and talk silly to babies. I started broccoli seeds about 10 days ago, on a Saturday, and by Thursday […]
