Growing up, Dominican native Manuel de los Santos had one dream: to play professional baseball. Once on route to pitch for the MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays, Manuel’s plans were derailed in 2003 by a traffic accident that handicapped him to a point that professional baseball would no longer be an option. Disheartened by the unforeseen and unfortunate circumstance, Manuel found inspiration and passion in an unexpected place and his story from that point onward is more than inspiring. Check it out: Life can certainly be unpredictable. Although we can never really control that, we can however control our response to the unpredictable, the challenging, the life-altering and everything else we may be faced with at any given moment. Manuel de los Santos is a […] Read More

“When man interferes with the Law of the Universe, the sky becomes filthy, the earth becomes depleted, the equilibrium crumbles, we become extinct.” Get the picture? Always we think… “evil” can’t touch me. We think… “I am good, therefore I am safe.” We think we can do what we want and dance with evil in disguise. We think we can escape with a prayer or promise. Think again. Most people think of evil as ugly and nasty and possibly rather stupid. Or… there are those who think evil is just something made up and that it really doesn’t exist in the world today. It can be confusing and maybe shocking to realize that evil is all that and more. Evil can be beautiful and very seductive. […] Read More
“Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.” –Charles Darwin There are problems with science today, no doubt. With all the knowledge we’ve accumulated about the Universe, from the smallest subatomic scales to the farthest recesses of deep space, there are still realms and regimes where our best theories fail, where the predictions and the data don’t match, and where no known explanation is sufficient for the phenomena that shows up. Image credit: The Michelson-Morley interferometer, via University of Virginia. But this is where all the potential for scientific growth lives. Believe it or not, one of […] Read More
READ THIS PAGE!!! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!! SEE IT BEFORE IT GETS PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN!!!! What are anti-positrons??? Anti-positrons are tiny subatomic particles. They have been proven by QUANTUM PHYSICS and are very real. Your government knows about anti-positrons. The Russians know about anti-positrons. Japan knows about anti-positrons. Aliens are using anti-positrons in their crusade against the earth. Read this page to learn all about them. Make a link to this page. Tell everyone you know!!! This page must be read while it’s still here!!! Anti-positrons are extremely hazardous to your health. The scientific test has shown a direct link between death and excessive exposure to anti-positrons. That is why the government requires warnings on all tv sets, radios, and microwave ovens produced in […] Read More
Jan. 31, 2002 by Seth Shostak – Senior Astronomer What does it mean to be intelligent? I get this question a lot, given the fact that “intelligence” is the last word of the SETI acronym. “Is there intelligence on Earth?” wags will ask (and by so doing, make their query relevant). What defines a species as intelligent, and how do SETI researchers decide? SETI folk are mostly interested in alien intelligence, not the brainpower of the local school kids. But investigating terrestrial IQs may help us estimate how often sentient beings evolve elsewhere. To test human intelligence is straightforward, if controversial. But how can we assess the brainpower of other critters? One approach taken by biologists is to compute an “encephalization quotient,” which is […] Read More
The world is changing very fast and whatever questions you might have – most of your answers are on these pages! However, to completely understand what is happening to Humanity might take longer than a few days. It might even take a few weeks or months! It depends on your present level of awareness… If you would like to know most of the answers to what is happening, I suggest that you read all my Articles, Statements, OldSoulNotes, Cosmic Cookies and Poems. Start at the beginning again until everything becomes crystal clear. You will find an explanation for whatever is puzzling you. It took me almost thirty years to write what you will find on these pages. Be patient with yourself…Our World is a […] Read More
Taken from the writings of Ken Carey “At the moment of quantum awakening, change will occur rapidly, rippling across the terrestrial surface like a wave. Everything in the earth’s gravitational field will be affected in some way. There will be a time of massive change, of change on a scale that has no historical precedent, though it does have antecedents in the prehistoric events of this and of distant worlds. The changes that your generation will experience before it passes the torch to another are more fundamental than those that accompanied the agriculture revolution-and those changes took thousands of years. They are more far-reaching than the changes of industrialization, which took nearly three centuries to transpire. Yet, deep and fundamental, massive though these present […] Read More
I AM NOW CLOSE TO 88 and I am confident that the only thing important about me is that I am an average healthy human. I am also a living case history of a thoroughly documented, half-century, search-and-research project designed to discover what, if anything, an unknown, moneyless individual, with a dependent wife and newborn child, might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity that could not be accomplished by great nations, great religions or private enterprise, no matter how rich or powerfully armed. I started out fifty-six years ago, at the age of 32, to make that experiment. By good fortune I had acquired a comprehensive experience in commanding and handling ships, first as a sailor in Penobscot Bay, Maine, […] Read More
