Does consciousness affect physics - and by extension, the universe - we inhabit? Many scientists and spiritual leaders say “yes.” The Physicist Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder is a researcher, musician, author, and theoretical physicist. Her work focuses on the intersection of consciousness and the physical laws of the universe - and she believes them to be inextricably intertwined. The Monk Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Master and Nobel Peace Prize […]

My dad wasn’t a water witch, but he swore by Old Man Marcus.*  8000+ Years of Witching We've been hiring a water witch to dowse for new wells for as long as my farming family can recall. Even deep in our Midwest Bible Belt, it wasn't considered witchcraft. It’s folk wisdom that works. Farmers and homesteaders are a practical lot; they don’t worry about the how. It works, you dig […]
Trees talk, and those close to the earth have known this for lifetimes upon lifetimes. Science is listening now too. Bushcraft & Shrooms Shift Happens (here on the Fringe!) recently interviewed a bushcrafter and psychonaut who, like Thoreau, left the rat race to live in the woods. Towards the end of the show, he shares his thoughts on trees, mushrooms, and more.  Episode 265: https://fringe.fm/shows/shift-happens/ Spinning Vinyl and Macrame In […]

Listeners were terrified, locking their doors and clutching rosaries or a crucifix. Many were convinced that they, too, were possessed and called in for help. One of Father Malachi’s […]
Slowly but surely, science is catching up with the spiritual teachings of millennia regarding frequency and vibration. Neuroscience labs are starting to validate what shamans and sages have always known, but from a different angle: they're more interested in the "what and how" than the more elusive and ethereal "why." You Know It When You Feel It It's baffling that anyone could doubt the effects of tones and beats. We […]
Researchers announced yesterday they've found the world’s oldest known map of the stars. Dating from the 2nd century BC , the map is attributed to the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparcus. Amazingly, it was found hidden behind overlaid ink within later medieval texts found in Egypt. Papyrus and other writing surfaces were valuable and often “recycled" in ancient times, with scribes writing over old text. Today's advanced imaging techniques can […]
