Although I no longer believe in religion I remain a spiritual person always looking for evidence, for answers. I try to find these answers in multiple ways and have found one common thread throughout is meditation. Meditation at first blush seems like something esoteric from the orient. But what I’ve found is that it is…… Continue reading Life After Life – Raymond Moody

The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization – Peter Zeihan
Reading this book reminded me of another business book that made just as much of a splash twenty years ago but preached the opposite. The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman spoke of erasing borders, a level playing field for the entire world where international economic cooperation would increase efficiency and drive down price. This…… Continue reading The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization – Peter Zeihan
Mysteries of the Unknown – Search for the Soul
Other researchers – literal-minded scientists – decided after elaborate experimentation that wherever it lurks in life, the soul must exist, for at death there is an infinitesimal but measurable weight loss representing its departure from the body. I’m not so sure about this idea. I would think that energy, or whatever the spirit or soul…… Continue reading Mysteries of the Unknown – Search for the Soul
Journal Entry – 11.29.2022
It is 4:05 AM on Tuesday November 11th, 2022. We’ve just returned from a Thanksgiving week in Ohio. This trip was spent almost entirely in either my parent’s or sisters residence with the kids playing games (sometimes Fortnite with adults), wine drinking and eating. The weather was partly due to the reason for staying in…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.29.2022
Journal Entry – 11.13.2022
It is 5:56 AM on Sunday November 13th, 2022. It has been a long time since I’ve written in my journal and much has to do with my mindset. All is well here but time after time there is another disappointment which has lead to decreased motivation. I thrive when my mind is clear and…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.13.2022
Trip to Toledo Spain
It had been twenty five years since I’d last visited Toledo. I was a student and had just wrapped up the best six months I’d ever had. I had learned to converse in Spanish which was a great boost for my academic ego and had a lot of fun on top of it. I had…… Continue reading Trip to Toledo Spain
Trip to Paris
It has been twenty two years since I last visited Paris. Unfortunately I didn’t write much about that visit except in this entry from December, 2000. I was a student then wrapping up my six months studying French in Lyon and Besançon. My fellow students are now mothers and fathers with teenage children living the…… Continue reading Trip to Paris
Journal Entry – 7.4.2022
It is Monday, July 4th, 2022. My family is in Japan and so I’m a bachelor for two months. Being alone with family all of a sudden is a bit like sliding into an alternate reality. Before they leave I have plans of all the things I’m going to do but once they are gone…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 7.4.2022
