Something that interests me between different cultures, and even within a culture is the coexistence of the acceptable and taboo. A friendly gesture by a group is an insult to another. What is sacred to one is seen as insane by the next person. The video explores one example of this in [...]
At this point in time we estimate the Milky Way contains about 500 thousand million stars, and that the universe contains roughly 100 billion galaxies. If we factor our galaxy as being average in size, we come to an estimate of roughly 100 million billion earth-like planets that may exist and be conducive [...]
I’m in agreement with most of what is said in this short video segment. While it is a compelling and logical viewpoint that a portion of what is reality can be attributed to an illusion woven by ego, I’d simultaneously make a debate for cases where “evil” has been documented to exist externally from [...]
The wraps have come off one of Westminster Abbey’s least known treasures, a medieval marble pavement foretelling the end of the world, while conservation experts consider how to preserve the ancient stones for the next 740 years.

Heheh. My friend Ovi sent this out on our messageboard last week, and I thought it would be a good thing to share on this blog. The humor and the irony of the points made in this video had me rolling with laughter, especially the comment about mammon. At the same time, I [...]
Some of the United Kingdom’s most storied soil was disturbed Monday for the first time in more than four decades as archaeologists worked to solve the enduring riddle of Stonehenge: When and why was the prehistoric monument built?
The excavation project, set to last until April 11, is designed to unearth materials that can be used [...]
2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B’ak’tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.
Accordingly, [...]
Tibetan monks, nuns and other Tibetan supporters stage a candlelight vigil by walking around the Swyambhunath Stupa in Katmandu. The march was another display of solidarity with Tibetans in Tibet, and occurred shortly after the protest on Monday.
The unrest has created shock waves in another volatile region on China’s periphery, shaking up the presidential election [...]
I have a fascination with the history of central america. Much of their culture is comprised of technology, medicine, astronomy, and architecture which defied the conventions of its time. Kinda makes you wonder where all that knowledge came from, doesn’t it? If you are interested in this stuff as much as I, [...]
