The theories, fables, articles, and tours on this site derive from study in a wide range of fields, including science, philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics. All of these sources of information have contributed to my thinking, but none are complete or infallible. I regard myself as a rationalist, with a deep sense of the immensity and mystery of the cosmos.

 

I like to find the essence of things, and gravitate to things that are useful. It is this criteria that informs much of what I choose to take in, chew, digest, and excrete (there are many analogies between learning and eating, by the way), and in that spirit I have found particular nourishment in the works of the following people:

 

I would like to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Bulgarian philosopher Omraam Mikhaël Aïvenhov; the biologists Rupert Sheldrake, E.L. Grant Watson, N.J. Berrill, Joan Roughgarden, and Charles Birch; the mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead; the spiritual traveller Mark Hedsel; the psychologist Edward de Bono; the theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater; the philosopher Christian De Quincey; the scientist, philosopher, and atheist Richard Dawkins; the journalist, writer, and atheist Christopher Hitchens; the biblical archeologist Gary Greenberg; the researcher and writer Helen Ellerbe; the psychologist and atheist David Mills; and the quantum physicist David Bohm.
