  What if time isn’t a straight line—but a wave you can ride? 
  In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites readers on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe. 
  Spot the Patterns. Feel the Pull. Catch the Wave. 
  This book is more than a theory—it’s a call to action. Mathiesen urges readers to become “time surfers,” attuned to the subtle pulses of possibility that ripple through the cosmos. With practical insights and poetic flair, he shows how to:Recognize when you're caught in a destructive trough—and how to paddle out.Amplify constructive interference in relationships, creativity, and decision-making.Use metaphor as a scientific instrument—bridging the gap between intuition and data.Reframe synchronicity as a measurable phenomenon, not mere coincidence.Design your life as a waveform—balancing chaos and coherence, risk and rhythm. 
  If you’ve ever pondered the nature of time after reading Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time, or felt the eerie precision of Jung’s synchronicities, or marveled at gravitational wave detections from LIGO, Time Waves will feel like a homecoming—and a launchpad. 
  Michael Mathiesen is not just writing—he’s building a wave. With cinematic teasers, tweet bursts, and outreach to space agencies, Time Waves is part of a larger mission to shift how we think, feel, and act in relation to time. Readers are invited to become co-creators, surfers, and storytellers in this unfolding paradigm.

  Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
   
   
   
  Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
   
   
   
  A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.
