Bridging Spirit and Science -...

Martin K. Ettington

Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.

Salton Sea The: The History of...

Editors Charles River

In the list of popular American geological oddities and attractions, one sizeable phenomenon remains surprisingly unfamiliar to the average citizen. This may be due in part to its remote desert location, but perception of the Salton Sea in southern California is also laden with environmental concerns and is in a constant state of flux. The extensive body of inland saltwater hides a glorious commercial past and has served as an important wildlife preserve but approaches a seemingly inevitable crisis in the coming decade.
The Salton Sea in not directly “on the way” to anything substantial or iconic, and is situated one hour’s drive from Palm Springs, 30 miles to the south of Indio, California on Highway 111. Its distance from Los Angeles and San Diego is approximately three hours driving time. The most recognizable natural phenomenon of Imperial and Riverside counties, it is surrounded by a rural area comprised of predominantly migrant farm workers and located in the southern Colorado desert area known as the Salton Trough, or Salton Sink.
Despite being a natural occurrence filling and emptying intermittingly throughout history, the current presence of this large inland sea surrounded by sand was created accidentally in the early 20th century. First formed around 700 CE, the original and much larger version of the great inland lake was called Lake Cahuilla, connected to the Sea of Cortez. By the time the first Europeans arrived in the 16th century, the basin was completely dry as Don Juan Bautista led the first party across the basin’s expanse.
The “accidental” creation of the lake’s modern version was a product of the rising Colorado that destroyed a crucial section of the canal system designed to help farmers. Millions of gallons of water were forced into the lowland area. Beyond the one breach, the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton lowlands for nearly two years before engineers finally stopped it.

Dark Space Enigmas - Dark Matter...

Dirk Fallon

The cosmic frontier has long captivated human imagination as it holds the mysteries of the universe in its vast expanses. From the earliest observations of the night sky, humanity has been drawn to the unknown depths beyond our planet, seeking to unravel the secrets of dark matter and the intricate evolution of galaxies. In this chapter, we explore the beginnings of our cosmic journey and the fundamental forces that shape the universe, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the interplay between dark matter and galactic evolution.
The universe, in its infancy, was a turbulent and dynamic environment where matter and energy coalesced into the structures we observe today. In the early moments following the Big Bang, subtle fluctuations in density laid the groundwork for the formation of dark matter haloes, which in turn influenced the emergence of galaxies. These initial irregularities acted as seeds that grew over time through gravitational attraction, gradually giving rise to the complex web of cosmic structures that now stretches across the observable universe.
As we peer into the cosmic frontier, the concept of dark matter becomes central to our understanding of the universe’s architecture. Dark matter, an invisible substance that does not interact with light in the conventional manner, exerts gravitational forces that shape the evolution of galaxies. Although its exact composition remains elusive, its effects are evident in the rotational speeds of galaxies and the clustering of matter on cosmic scales. The study of these phenomena provides critical clues about the underlying nature of dark matter and the processes that govern the birth and evolution of galactic systems.
