Down the Rabbithole
Have you ever considered that our reality is nothing more than our own thoughts played out like a parade of shadows on the wall? We do love to scare ourselves into a tizzy, don't we?

Star Children: Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, and the Different Shades of the Universe
Over the last half-century or so, there has emerged a specialized discourse as it relates to the fields of Psychology, Philosophy, especially the ideologies surrounding what is being coined as new age spiritualism, supernatural phenomenon, and other far-reaching communities in the belief or observation of what is referred to as star children.

Alex Cooper Auctioneers
The Alex Cooper Auctioneers business started in 1924, when a youthful Alex Cooper set up his bartering house, selling land, collectibles, and expressive arts. The foundation was situated in the 400 square of North Howard Street. In the following 90 years, the organization has developed to incorporate three additional ages, upheld by a group of just about 50, who are presently effectively associated with the everyday business. By the 1940s the business had developed and dropped down to 212 North Calvert Street.

Egon Schiele and the Art of Going Insane
So there is this painting, which you are maybe familiar with entitled, Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up. Austrian artist and Gustav Klimt protégé, Egon Schiele painted it in 1917, two years after he had married one Edith Harms. Edith was, by all accounts, a perfectly charming woman with a perfectly respectable middle-class background. However, the sitter for Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up is decidedly not Edith.

THE POWER OF YOUR FIRST NAME
Find out what message your first name contains. The full first name given at birth gives the active number. Calculation method: all letters are encrypted, and the result is reduced to a single digit number. Exceptions are the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 (in this precise article, the number 33 is excluded from interpretation, but you can add the 2 digits and use the meanings of the 6 active number, if it happens for you to be a 33, which is very RARE) , which can be reduced to a single digit (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6) but they are also interpreted as 2 digit numbers.

THE GRAY AREA
Relationships are not always black and white. And sometimes, a break-up can leave you seeing red. And we are often left not just with the loss of a person, but with the realization that at some point, you have lost a portion of yourself as well. And we can fear repeating the cycle. While that can be a daunting or jarring revelation, there are a number of things we can do in between relationships to make sure that a whole, healthy, and healed individual shows up at your next pairing.

How Lasers and Wi-Fi Were Born – Thanks to Cosmology
WHERE DO WE come from? How did we get here? They are questions which have been asked as long as there have been people. And answering them has given us not only valuable insights, but created great technologies along the way.

Miami Condo Collapse—The Lesson By Howard Bloom
There’s a lesson in the collapse of the Champlain Towers South in the Miami suburb of Surfside. Infrastructure is key to our lives. Maintaining it and upgrading it is crucial to our role as the most advanced nation on earth. A role that is rapidly slipping away.

You Probably Know My Ex: The F*ckboy Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard
You probably know Soren Kierkegaard as the writer of some of the most formidable philosophical and theological works of the nineteenth century. Maybe you don’t really understand anything he’s written (because let’s face it, he kind of sucked at communication even at the best of times and avoided conciseness like the plague), but vaguely know of him from your annoying philosophy major friend.

Growing Up Indigenous With a Colonizer's Face
Growing Up Indigenous With a Colonizer's Face Learning to Decolonize as a Biracial Native Growing up, I remember thinking, "I'm so happy I'm Canadian because we're not racist like the United States." This was a common sentiment to the average person living in the early 2000s. Granted, I grew up in a small, predominantly white city. I was in my preteens by the time I had met someone of Asian descent. I was even older by the time I met a Black person. I was surrounded by the Mi'qmaq people of my area all my life; these people were my friends and family. I was embarrassingly far into my teenage years when I finally understood that First Nations people were people of colour. I had never seen them as different from myself. Dancing to Powwow drums and learning Indigenous crafts was a part of my daily life; it never occurred to me that it was a racial or cultural difference. It took me even longer to clue in that to every person who passed me by, I was white.

Mexican Migrant Workers:
Every morning, Luis Arriega wakes before dawn to make the two-and-a-half-hour trek from his small Mexican village to Sinaloa de Leyva, where he works as an auto mechanic. His wife Maria stays home with the children and earns what she can, selling baskets at the local market. Maria and her oldest daughter weave the baskets from twigs that have been collected by the younger children. In addition to their daughter and the two children attending school, the Arriegas have a four-year-old son named Miguel who was born with a cleft palate.

We Don't Know What We Don't Know.
In one of my previous blogs, I mentioned the day I went onto a racetrack with my friend who races classic cars. We set out in an old Renault 5 with him driving at an astonishing speed (for a Renault 5). We hurtled at corners, hitting the brakes only at the last possible moment and flooring the throttle coming out of the bend. Thrilling! My friend’s confidence in his ability and his belief that I could do the same persuaded me that, having seen him do it, I could do it too. But there is a difference between seeing someone do something and actually doing it and feeling what it feels like to do. Nevertheless, before starting on the track, I was confident that I could do it too.
