So you’ve decided it is time to explore an alternative way of living?

“Off-the-grid” refers to living in homes that are autonomous, meaning they do not rely on municipal water supply, sewer, natural gas, electrical power grid, or similar utility services. A true off-grid house is able to operate completely independently of all traditional public utility services.

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drud...

The problem of studying what happens to consciousness when we die has plagued empiricists for millennia. How do we measure consciousness and how do we observe it once it leaves the body?

Researchers at the University of Southampton, UK, have found one way around this dilemma by examining the experiences of over 300 individuals from the U.S, U.K. and Australia who had undergone cardiac arrest and been declared ‘clinically dead’ before they were resuscitated and brought back to life. According to the study, published this week in the Journal of Resuscitation, nearly 40% of respondents reported some kind of ‘conscious awareness’ during the time that they were clinically dead.

“Paintbrush Warrior” by Mark Henson

It would be no exaggeration to say that Mark Henson is one of the greatest living visionary artists of our day. His artwork is iconic, intricate, sensual, cosmic, and profound. One can get lost in scanning his paintings to discover all of the visual details, tiny pictures-within-pictures, and hidden forms that contain not only the beauty of shape and color, but a wealth of commentary on the human condition. Like all great art, each piece speaks volumes and entices deeper and deeper exploration.

I had the pleasure to meet Mark briefly at a visionary art show in 2011, where I watched him work on “Paintbrush Warrior,” which has become one of my favorite pieces of his (see ...

“The more real you get the more unreal the world gets”- John Lennon

We’ve often heard people say that this world is just an illusion, a dream of sorts that we are all dreaming up together. John Lennon said it best when he said, “A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is reality”.

So if this is true, if our life on earth is just a dream of sorts that we are all dreaming up together until we die and travel to the afterlife or to a higher dimension or whatever it is you believe happens after this physical body dies, is it possible to use the concepts of lucid dreaming in our waking life?

Wikipedia defines lucid dreaming as, “any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming,” it goes on to say, “in a lucid dream the dreamer has greater chances to exert some degree of control over their ...
