Your alarm goes off at 5am, and you immediately get out of bed without a second thought. As you orient yourself to the waking world, you can barely detect any lingering grogginess, even if you look for it. You stand up and stretch, feeling totally alert, fully conscious, and eager to start your day. The thought […]
Erin and I are back in Las Vegas after a wonderful week in New York City. We’ll write a full review of the trip and share some photos later this week.
Saturday’s Manhattan meet-up went very well with 40-50 people attending. We had a lot more RSVPs than that, but I’m sure we lost some people after switching […]
A forum member recently shared the Carl Sagan quote, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Sagan is credited with popularizing that slight rephrasing of an older quote by Marcello Truzzi: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.”
These quotes assume an objective universe, which is a rather biased way of looking at reality — and not particularly accurate. In […]
Good news — Erin and I secured a location for our New York City meet-up. However, in order to get the space we had to go for a morning meet-up instead of an afternoon meet-up.
The location is a dance rehearsal studio on 54th St between 8th Ave and Broadway in Midtown. It’s just a few doors […]
Erin and I are in our hotel room in Midtown Manhattan. We’ve only been in the city about 30 hours so far, but it’s been a fun trip. More on that later… Right now we’re having some challenges with the NYC meet-up we planned to do on Saturday, October 20. For those who are interested […]
Our shared physical reality is the most common state of reality we experience, but it certainly isn’t the only one. Our nighttime dreams are another state, as are astral experiences, near-death experiences, and out-of-body experiences.
I regard these different levels of reality as being at different frequencies or energy levels. It’s like tuning into different TV channels. Physical reality […]
Recently I competed in Toastmasters International’s annual humor speech contest. I wrote and delivered a speech titled “39-1/2 Winks,” which was based on my polyphasic sleep experiment.
The Toastmasters humor speech contest has 4 levels: club, area, division, and district. I won at the club level but lost the area contest. Technically I came in last place because I was disqualified for running over […]

This week Erin and I will be working out the details of our Oct 14-21 New York City trip. We’re still planning to have a meetup in the afternoon on Saturday, Oct 20. We haven’t settled on a location yet, but the two most likely spots are Bryant Park and Central Park. We’ll announce the […]
The PhotoReading process has several different steps — if you do it correctly — so I thought I’d share how I applied some of those steps to a book I recently PhotoRead.
I PhotoRead the book Life on Purpose before posting a review of it here a few weeks ago. I think it took me longer to write the review […]
