I had many LSD fueled conversations with other kids in the Bronx in the early 80s about things like extraterrestrial seeding of this planet and in the past year or so my fiance has read passages from books by respected authors that practically mirror some of these seemingly juvenile exchanges.

I’m gonna go build a replica of Devil’s Tower in my living room now while watching Koyaanisqatsi and listening to my Butthole Surfers records.

In case this is relevant, I am passing onto you an article that might be helpful to people who are going through a lot of stress right now. Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath, a leading stress research institute, has written a free booklet De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times that provides a few simple practices to help people intercept and manage stress during this period of challenge and uncertainty.

We want to make this booklet available to as many people as possible, so we are asking you to please help distribute De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times to others at this time of increased need. Feel free to post the De-Stress Kit link or PDF file on your Web site. E-mail it to friends and family, send it to other Web sites and blogs or refer people to http://www.heartmath.org/destresskit. For banners that can be used on a Web site, the URL is http://www.heartmath.org/destressbanners.

After half a day of writing and refining the opening screed to this site, I asked my wife, Dara to read it for consistency. The next thing I know, she hands me a copy of Joseph Chilton Pearce’s The Biology of Transcendence. I have never read anything by JCP, but after perusing the chapter titles of this book, and a few others, I have now completed the first chapter of his Evolution’s End with jaw-dropping amazement. It would seem that I have been drawing together conclusions, admittedly under development, which have indeed been achieved by this esteemed author. It is as though I have just become a demostration of the phenomena he has so clearly elucidated.
