Everybody assumes that Thomas Edison devised electric light and domestic electricity supplies, that Guglielmo Marconi thought up radio and George Westinghouse built the world's first hydro-electric power station. not true.  The man who dreamt up these things also invented, inter-alia, the fluoresce...

Could the Egyptian Sphinx have been built many centuries earlier than conventional history would have us believe? Could the great natural disasters that propelled the evolution of life on Earth have played a dominant role as well in the rise and fall of civilizations?

Reinoud de Jonge (a Dutch chemist) and Jay Wakefield (an American biologist) have specialized in the study of megalithic culture. They present their controversial analysis of a dozen archaeo­logical sites, proposing that many petroglyphs are geographic maps. They show how monuments provide numerical data revealing megalithic religion and ancient sailing discoveries in the Atlantic.

A conversation on the  geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe. The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers...

Transcendence can come in many forms. For Mary Rose O’Reilley a year tending sheep seemed a way to seek a spirituality based not on “climbing out of the body” but rather on existing fully in the world, at least if she could overlook some of its earthier aspects. 

"Deciding that her life was insufficiently grounded in real-world experience, Mary Rose O’Reilley, a Quaker reared as a Catholic, embarked on a year of tend...

These underlying belief systems drive our behavior.  Similarly, health beliefs influence health behaviors and health outcomes. Growing evidence shows us that negative and worrisome beliefs predispose your body to illness; positive and hopeful belief...

The quest culture has generated a "marketplace" of new spiritual beliefs and practices and of revisited traditions. As Roof shows, some Americans are exploring faiths and spiritual disciplines for the first time; others are rediscovering their lost traditions; others are drawn to small groups and alternative communities; and still others create their own mix of values and metaphysical beliefs.  Here we see an  emergence o...

The strands of DNA that comprise our blueprint may be impacted by spiritual experiences says our guest Colm Kelleher, who is the molecular biologist radiologist. He says that spiritual experiences so much heightened our energy that it may cause changes in a very DNA and he will tell us about the many laboratory experiments and all the other clues that give weight to his theory.  The very experience of mystical moments may alter in ...

Poaching was rampant, but it was loss of habitat that most endangered the gorillas. Weber and Vedder realized that the gorillas were doomed unless something was done to save their forest home. They helped found the Mountain Gorilla Project, which would inform Rwandans about the gorill...

For centuries, the world's religions have squabbled over their differences.  But if we choose to focus on the similarities between the religions, we find they outweigh the differences. In fact, there seems to be an underlying message that all the world's religions share.  Hopefully conversations like this will give you a new perspective on religion, and a renewed hope for world peace.

From the Author: "I was...
