Some people have a reputation for having a positive or negative effect on electronic equipment – they are either an ‘angel’ or a ‘gremlin’. One of the fathers of quantum […]

Amid all the near daily revelations about sexual predators, charges of racism deep political divisions that exists among political parties in America and Britain, I’ve been thinking a lot lately […]
The latest discoveries in science are overturning a century’s worth of scientific belief about genetics, evolution and the backbone of modern biology. As Bruce Lipton has made famous, the new […]
In the mid-eighties, John Cairns, a British-born geneticist at Harvard’s School of Public Health, carried out an experiment that would set off one of the largest arguments in modern biology.
The whole of modern psychiatry rests on the platform that mental illness is, in fact, mental—a sickness that occurs in the brain. Nowhere is this more evident than with depression, […]
A mosaic of influences — religious, political, economic, scientific, and philosophical — writes the story that we live by, but the main author is science. Science tells us who we […]

If you’re the victim of a near-fatal car crash, Western medicine, with its array of high-tech gadgetry, is without parallel in its ability to put you back together again.
This week, I read a news article with the depressing fact that political affiliation now polarizes people in America far more than does anything else, including race, ethnic background or […]
One of the most moving workshops I have given in recent times took place in Istanbul, where Dr. Salah Al-Rashed, the Deepak of the Middle East, invited me to join […]

Once you’ve got it, you’ve got to learn to live with it—and strap on a device to help you do so. That’s the usual medical thinking around hearing loss, which […]
For a decade I’d been the overprotective parent of the Power of Eight®, as though it were a sacred amulet to be carefully protected from the wrong hands.
I’m just back from the Science and Spirituality conference, held in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, and what an amazing six-day event it was! I shared the stage with my great buddies […]
Everybody’s talking about them as the great white hope for overcoming every condition from chronic fatigue to Alzheimer’s disease. ‘They’ are the mitochondria of our cells—microscopic ‘organs’ in their own […]

Everywhere I look, I see wrecking balls: worldwide cataclysmic natural climatic events that seem more appropriately to be found in disaster movies like 2012; the collapse or wobbling of many […]
The idea of placing people into small groups started out as a crazy whim of mine during a workshop I ran in 2008, just to see what would happen if […]
How to counter the tribalism engulfing America and much of Europe at the moment, which is fomenting racism and huge civil unrest? An excellent article just published in Aljazeera by […]

This Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks for the ability to give to others, which sounds like a rather sappy Hallmark card kind of sentiment, so bear with me here.
It’s been eight days since our historic Middle Eastern Peace Intention Experiment, and shock waves are rippling across the Middle East, as well in the hearts of our participants.
The Middle Eastern Peace Intention Experiment ran yesterday, and what a historic event it was. We started late, largely because we had to wait 10-15 minute for Smart Ways Studios […]
