I recently saw the film “Ocean with David Attenborough” (2025). It made me think we are literally “at war” with ALL life on Earth! (even in the depths of the oceans!) If you haven’t seen this film I highly recommend it:

correct to “experiencing” and not sure my full post showed up. Anyway so looking forward to diving in with you all!

I am unexpectedly experience a series of cateclystic events (are they ever expected?) and although I am yearning to dive in here, I cannot commit for yet one more week.  Please know that the allurement I am experiencing to share is vast, I’m in a rare semi- crisis mode.  All will be fine – nothing life threatening.
Back soon as I can be!

Frankly, when I was working at NASA in the nineteen-nineties, my attention was distracted by a less noble motivation, something often labeled, ‘publish or perish’.

At the time, I was working at NASA Goddard’s Space Flight Ce…[Read more]

Apparently, the Institute conducts research on topics like the “survival of consciousness after bodily death.” That made me think of your idea/project John!

We All Contain a Spark!

(Ronnie Polonsky and Mary Ellen Hill)

CHORUS We all, we all, we all contain a spark of the Universe.  We all, we all, we all contain a spark!

In the nineteen-nineties, while I was working at NASA Goddard’s space flight Center as the Instrument Specialist for the EGRET instrument on the Compton Gama Ray telescope, I thought of using the extant cable-TV infrastructure for high bandwith…[Read more]

I’m beaming in response to your research! That’s my nerdy humor there. So are you suggesting that scientific research is essentially representing life examples of cosmic phenomena in an autocosmological way? So as scientists, are we really biographers for different aspects of the universe? Or perhaps we’re autocosmologists on a cosmic…[Read more]

The suggestion to look for (scientific) powers within the inner workings of us humans, mirrored by the supposed external wonder of the cosmos is such a great idea.

A few things that come to mind have always inspired me, and then at CIIS i…[Read more]

I grew up in Deadwood, SD, and then enrolled at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, intending to major in physics. During my one year there, I was on the varsity wrestling team, and came across Eckankar, which lead me to stop out of college for five years to seriously pursue mysticism.

Here is an interesting example of autocosmology that I was involved in. In 1997, I was the lead author on a paper in the Astrophysical Journal (1997ApJ…476..692M) about a quasar in the blazar class named PKS 1622-297. We observed its gamma-ray flux…[Read more]

I also feel a yearning to extend my lifespan. During my annual medicare-sponsored checkup, two weeks ago I told my general practitioner that I hope to live to be 140 (I’m 71 now). He laughed and responded that this puts a lot of responsibility on his care! He is a great fit for me. He’s from South…[Read more]

Thank you for starting this discussion and including a transcript of Brian’s response to your question. My personal thinking on this is that our understanding of death is closely related to our understanding (or lack thereof) of time. After all, agency is rooted in time. Time is the great mystery, and I think we all find ourselves much…[Read more]
