CHICAGO — We’re up before dawn, and preparing to return to Phoenix after a wonderful time with family, and friends, both old and new. Over 700 people attended the “Traveling the Spaceways” Symposium at the Hyde Park Art Center over this past weekend. The music and entertainment was superseded only by the great vibe of the Center, its Curators, and…

Sun Ra Symposium Rocks
CHICAGO — The Traveling the Spaceways symposium at the Hyde Park Art Center was a rousing success! Although Mayor Richard M. Daley was a no-show Friday night, the howling wind and rain tempered anyone’s attempt to raise a judgmental eyebrow at him. The people who came were impressed with the Art Center, and with its signature exhibit.n spite of the…

CHICAGO, IL — This week we’re in Chicago, where I’ll participate in a symposium for the art exhibit, “Traveling the Spaceways”, at the Hyde Park Art Center. The exhibit and symposium explores the topic of Sun Ra, and “will investigate the impact of Sun Ra and Afrofuturism on American history and visual culture.” I was invited in part, due to…
Read MoreA Case for Early Human and Self Education
Fear, Love, and Who We Are It almost sounds silly to start an advocacy that would initiate a new first level element of childhood education on what it actually means to be human. Yet, when you stop and think about it, children are being instructed on the nature of the physical world in which they exist, but they are not…

As Magnesium Ions Go, So Goes Our Health As a function of turning a collection of ideas in manuscript form into a new book, I have spent the better part of this year living with the subject of magnesium. I’ve learned its critical importance to our health, some of the consequences of magnesium deficiency (and there are many), the fact…

Just like the piano and acoustic guitar, just like the pen and paper, books will never go out of style. As important as the computer has become, and all the derivative gadgets that depend on microprocessors and mass storage, books will remain the most viable medium for the external exchange of ideas for generations to come. Where electricity is not…

The Unified Field (God) as Our Creative Oyster Are you in believing place where you think a catastrophic illness is going to befall you? One doesn’t have to be “old” to harbor such feelings. Growing numbers of children are contracting autism syndrome, diabetese, cancer and other chronic illnesses early in life, and apparently healthy young adults are dropping like flies from heart…
Read MoreResults from Our First Transdermal Magnesium Seminar
Our first Transdermal Magnesium Seminar, held this evening at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (www.swiha.com) is now history. It was a rousing success. We didn’t break any box office numbers. In fact, only a handful of people came. However, all were interested for various reasons, and all made purchases. Most were professionals who understood the importance of magnesium, and intrigued…

It’s About Love Deficiency An ABC News Health story today trumpets, “Blacks Continue to Lose the Health Care Battle”. The study was conducted by researchers at Harvard and Brown Universities, and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Its ostensive intention was to show a need to continue collecting racial data for the purposes of policing equality…

One Man’s Answers to That and Other Questions For two days, the following thought has rattled around in my mind, but I did nothing about it. Oftentimes when that happens, the thought will prove to be fleeting, and it’s hard to recapture the essence of the inspired moment that it first appeared. Not with this one. So today upon awakening,…

We pride ourselves as having a country that protects, not “free speech”, but freedom of speech. As a principal, freedom of speech is still alive, but not necessarily well. In fact, what is being protected is freedom of ill speech. We can bitch and moan. We can swear and hurl invective. One of the 10 Episodes that Changed the World on the…

‘G–‘, In You, and Me How powerful is the power of belief? In terms of milli- or megawatts, amperes, or volts, I have no idea of how they can be translated. However, in terms of reality creation, the power of belief is BIG. The next question is, just how BIG is it? In this life, and on this stage of…

300 Million and Questioning Our Strength The occasion of America’s population odometer tripping over the 300 million mark should be a cause for celebration and rejoicing, but instead for many, it is a time of great caution and pause. We are a great nation whose people are not sure of their greatness; many of whom don’t feel great at all.…

I am convinced that president Bush sincerely believes his strategy for fighting terrorism is the right course. However, that doesn’t make it the best one. History is full of people who succumbed to the seduction of being “right,” but ignored what was best. Our “war on terrorism” is the current, and relevant, case in point. Terrorism should not be “fought.”…

Today we’re producing a video that shows people replenishing their magnesium levels with magnesium chloride, which is in liquid form. This is a fairly new protocol; a growing number of doctors are only now learning about it, and the public… well, unless it’s about violence, tragedy or some other calamity, we’re generally the last to know. This is an example…

In one of my first blog entries, I submitted a description of who I am, and who we are, in conjugation form, writing: I am a creator being, an embodiment and expression of God.

I have a dream. No, not Martin Luther King’s dream (although I resonate with his fully). I have a dream… my own. I’ll tell you mine. Will you tell me yours? You have a dream. We all do. But will we tell ourselves what it is? Will we share our dream others? Guess what? Our dreams… I mean the ones…
