Maybe our attempts to communicate with aliens is all wrong — I’ll admit, glowing sea creatures haven’t exactly been on my radar of curiosities. I suppose it seems a bit silly considering how bewildering it is that glowing plants and animals exist in real life and not just in sci-fi stories. I guess it’s because we’ve known of bioluminescence for a…

But it’s not all bad news — When we think of what we inherit genetically from our parents, traits like our smile or hair may come to mind first. Or perhaps our laugh or stubbornness. But what if we also took on their traumatic experiences? What if our children inherit them too, along with our own? Would…

And the subconscious doesn’t seem to become overloaded the way our consciousness does — Who doesn’t love a good eureka moment? You’re trying to work out a problem or remember something specific, but your mind blanks. Then minutes, hours, or days later, the answer pops into your head from the recesses of your subconscious. There’s something almost mystical about the experience. I’ve always wondered…

We’re capable of more than we realize — During my almost decade-long career as a licensed massage therapist, I studied the human body differently than doctors do. I learned to use other senses besides my sight to ‘see’ what was happening beneath the skin of my clients. For example, I can’t see adhesions or energy blocks, but I…

For over a decade, Portland’s sports arena has demonstrated what’s possible when it comes to retrofitting existing buildings to become zero carbon — I’m about to drop some facts that blew my mind a little. Ready? Did you know that back in 2018, over half of the global human population lived in cities? And by 2025, it’s predicted that it’ll rise to two-thirds of the population. Yet, at the same time, building emission…

If true, then we need a whole new version of physics to explore it — Good Golly. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve taken more interest in science over the last few years, but it seems that the scientific community is on a hot streak. Busting old theories, proposing new ones, and turning everything we thought we knew on its head. Just a few…

Yet we have no idea what happened to her — I’m a big fan of ancient cultures, and Egypt is wrapped in some of the world’s oldest, and most impressive, human history. It’s evident ancient Egyptians had knowledge that today’s brightest minds still struggle to comprehend. The Great Pyramids are just one of many examples. …

For centuries Western societies have favored our rational side, but in the process we’ve lost the ability to communicate our emotions — I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we live in a world of opposites — love/hate, hot/cold, up/down, sweet/spicy, the list goes on. …

Can anybody do it? — Surprise, surprise, I read a book that’s got my mind reeling. I actually finished it a while ago, but it’s sitting on a bookcase at the foot of my bed — staring at me unnervingly. …
