Introduction


Welcome to my personal website.

Here you'll find a few things about me and my various ideas and projects.

I want to give special thanks to the Yoga Research and Education Foundation for its support of my Yoga Science Project. 

NEWS

11/22/09: video of my Presentation at SAND is now posted (note the previous entry for additional materials). This can be viewed either streaming, or via 153MB download .

11/07/09: new document posted: Presentation at Science & Nonduality.  Includes the abstract, links to slides, transcript, and recordings, along with a few important notes and corrections.

11/4/09: the audio recording of my presentation at the Science & Nonduality Conference in San Rafael on 10/24 is available for download (one mp3 file; 12 MB; 39 min).

10/22/09: set of 22 slides for presentation on 10/24 at Science & Nonduality Conference in San Rafael.  Title: "The Anthropic Cosmological Timeline is Basis for The Science of Nonduality ."

6/23/09: before heading off to ISSSEEM '09 tomorrow, I've posted two new diagrams portraying my current thinking about the STS as the "anthropic cosmological timeline" (ACT):  page one details a "Science of Subtle Energies," page two outlines a somewhat tongue-in-cheek view of "The End of Time,"    They are here together.

5/21/09: "A Scientific Map for Subtle Energies" has been posted.  This remains a rough draft, but it is being so totally re-written that I figure I might as well post this extensive version.

12/24/08: Opened a new Documents section for the Theoretical Frameworks Independent Exploration Group recently formed under the auspices of ISSSEEM — likely temporary until the IEG gets its own website.

9/11/08: Posted the dialog I've been having with Col. Garvin McCurdy, USAF Ret. regarding interpretation of the SummaTime Scale (all items with his permission).

7/1/08:  Posted a long blog post with initial report post-ISSSEEM '08.

5/25/08:  Posted in the documents section, "A Time Line of the Global History of Esotericism."  This is the third and final background document for the forthcoming debut of Yoga Science at ISSSEEM in Boulder next month.  I had a lot of fun putting this together.

5/21/08:  Posted in the documents section, "Case Studies in Subtle Energy Science: Trial Applications of the Yoga Science Time Scale Map."  I've spent the last five weeks putting it together -- seems to be working...

4/10/08:  I've just sent off a much expanded version of the "brief technical report" noted below.  Now titled "Putting Subtle Energies on the Scientific Map," this is the best developed of my Yoga Science theoretical pieces to date.

Yogi Scientist -- Marginal Man

The one course in sociology I ever took was as an undergraduate in 1966.  It included a number of readings from Robert Ezra Park, one time student of William James.  He was said to have been the founder of sociology in America as a serious and “scientific” discipline.  His description of the "marginal man" has stuck with me ever since for its accurate description of my own life circumstance: 

The marginal man... is one whom fate has condemned to live in two societies and in two, not merely different but antagonistic cultures... his mind is the crucible in which two different and refractory cultures may be said to melt and, either wholly or in part, fuse.           Robert E. Park (wikipedia)
