Dark Lore Volume 1

I’ve always been the sort of person that sought out the books on Bigfoot, UFOs or Terrence McKenna before reading through The Kite Runner or various Grisham novels (you know… the mainstream stuff). Something about the weird and strange, no matter how implausible,  has always appealed to me. Partially this interest has developed from personal [...]

yet more evidence for the Global Consciousness Project

Dr. Dean Radin’s Global Consciouness Project (GCP) has been running for over a decade and has some interesting history in showing that his random number generators placed globally show statistically significant variations when preceed major global events like September 11th, 2001. Ultimately, they are trying to answer the question, “Is the global mind, the collective [...]

a double standard for science

Remote viewing is a fabrication of statistics right? Not according to long time noted skeptic Richard Wiseman,

do you dream this man?

I’m intrigued by a new website I’ve found thanks to a recent segment on the Mysterious Universe podcast that discussed group psychology. “Ever Dream This Man?” is a site sharing the stories of people that have seen one specific man in their dreams, all around the world.

morgellons disease is weird stuff, the photos are even stranger

I recently learned of Morgellons Disease and I’m absolutely mystified by it and these photos. The Wikipedia definition of Morgellons is,

Morgellons (also called Morgellons disease or Morgellons syndrome), is a name given in 2002 by Mary Leitao to a proposed condition referred to by the Centers for Disease Control as Unexplained Dermopathy and characterized by [...]

goat gives birth to human faun? I wouldn’t believe that without photos…

The Zimbabwe Guardian is reporting that a goat has given birth to a human faun. Quite a claim to lack photos,
The creature had a human head, face, nose, shoulders and human-like skin that had very scanty furs. It had goat features from the “shoulders” to the legs. Its sagging stomach prevented curious villagers from determining whether it [...]

Mysterious Universe is back!

The first podcast I subscribed to when I bought my Creative Zen Vision: M in 2006 was Mysterious Universe. One of the things that got me through the work week was listening to Ben Grundy’s reports on the mysterious and the paranormal.
After his mysterious exit from the podcasting world, pledging to record a final episode and [...]

a history of western esoteric thought

This is the type of book I wish I had stumbled across many years ago. A guidebook to the history of the ideas of spirituality.
As a student of esoteric thought and spiritual development, I’m interested in the members of our species that have achieved a particular state of enlightened knowledge, a direct contact with wisdom. [...]

the most important philosopher you’ve never read

Perhaps I was simply messed up as an early adolescent. While others around me sought speaker system upgrades for their cars or moments of numb bliss through substances, I was slowly building a small library of P.D. Ouspensky, G.I. Gurdjieff and  Jiddu Krishnamurti. The rationale escapes me for why I decided to pull the trigger [...]

a modern exorcist

Demonic possession is the most stigmatized and stereotyped of all border phenomena. And I say border  as I refer to the line between what we consider normal and experiences we can’t explain. Perhaps the movies are to blame for our idea of what an exorcism consists of, a little girl screams when splashed with [...]
