Google’s AI Technology Will Transform Life As We Know It.

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 9:12 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

Google claims its new quantum computer – the D-Wave 2x system – will leave its competitors in the dust. But there may not be any competitors for a while if Google’s “Ace of Spades” newbie performs as they predict. According to Hartmut Neven, head of its Quantum Al Lab, this baby can run: “We found that for problem instances involving nearly 1,000 binary variables, quantum annealing significantly outperforms its classical counterpart, simulated annealing. It is more than 10 to the power of 8 times faster than... Read more

A Honeycomb Brimming with Life, Tender and Precious

Last updated on: February 5, 2016 at 11:56 am By Nancy Raines

Cathy had died the day before, lifting up into a full moon out of a ravaged and no longer habitable body. Meditating, I had hoped to sense her spirit. Instead, through the devices of some benevolent force, I was in this intermediary place, watching my beloved sister enact what appeared to be an afterlife ritual. Read more

Your Body Will Literally Reinvent Itself In 2016.

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 9:20 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

Do you still get a buzz (or chill) at the beginning of a new calendar year? I do. Especially the “chill” factor here in snowy southwest VA! It’s all about starting over and re-imagining who I can still be on life’s undulating journey. After all, isn’t beginning again and starting fresh encoded in our DNA? According to medical science, the human body completely renews itself every seven years. The cornea replaces itself every 24 hours, the skin every 14 days, the... Read more

Three True Miraculous Angel Encounters that Saved My Life

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 9:19 pm By Belinda Womack

I have been blessed to work with a special group of Angels, the 12 Archangels of the Central Sun, for the past 25 years. Being educated as a scientist, I believe that tangible proof of invisible help goes a long way in convincing the human mind that we are not alone. Here are three true stories from my own life that I hope will inspire you to ask your own “guardian” Angels to prove to you that Angels are real... Read more

The Force Is Within Us And All Around Us

Last updated on: February 5, 2016 at 12:04 pm By Robert Atkinson

The Force has returned. Actually, it never left. But another generation gets to experience firsthand, in 3D in-your-face action, the power of that mysterious Force that captured a couple of previous generations. Star Wars – The Force Awakens, the seventh in a series of George Lucas films, now masterfully directed by J.J. Abrams, with a fittingly more diverse cast, broke box office records in its first week. What is it about Star Wars that is so captivating, so appealing, and,... Read more

Do I Really Have to Meditate Every Day?

Last updated on: February 3, 2016 at 1:47 am By Nancy Raines

Like anyone else, I love to lie down on the couch at the end of a long day, watch my favorite shows, and eat goodies from our local bakery (rumored to have the best chocolate chip cookies in New York City!) When I'm exhausted, I just want to "zone out." But I always end my days with meditation. Here’s why... Read more

A Fresh Look at the Human Soul

Last updated on: January 29, 2016 at 8:31 pm By Byron Belitsos

Does it make sense to speak of the human soul in the postmodern world? Can a fresh new inquiry into this topic make a meaningful difference in our personal and social lives? I fervently believe so, given that so much is at stake in our time of crisis and confusion. I also sense an urgent need for such an investigation because of recent advances in neuroscience, consciousness studies, paranormal studies, depth psychology, and integral theory, which serve to make the question...

Chasing short-term profits at the expense of social responsibility can no longer be the business model of the future. As Unilever CEO Paul Polman put it, "Investing in the common good, investing in the long term, is a better investment than just your short-term self-interest." Read more

Let it snow! Let it snow! The Blizzard of 2016: Let it go!

Last updated on: January 26, 2016 at 1:01 pm By Kathleen Gibbons Schuck

“Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!” Whether we had someplace to go or not, it may have been Michael Buble’s voice that penetrated our consciousness this past Friday through Saturday. As we dig out from the blizzard of 2016, we have to admit there really was nothing we could do but “Let it snow!” Blizzards bring freezing temperatures, snow, high winds, and storm surges. This one had enormous reach (wide as well as deep!) with snowfall from the... Read more
