"Human Deepest Fear: Unraveling Shadows and Embracing Light" is a comprehensive exploration of the intricate and universal facets of fear that shape the human experience.

The intersection of personal traumas with fear becomes a pivotal point of exploration, offering insights into therapeutic approaches and coping mechanisms that empower individuals to break free from fear's shackles.

My Cosmic Brain

Michael Mathiesen

My story is about a man in his seventies, a pseudo scientist who has his brain removed from his skull and placed inside a lab aquarium - the 'Manaquarium' so that they can study his consciousness. (FYI - They removed Einstein's brain but only checked out his basic anatomy and found that he had way more glial cells than the rest of us - what a waste.)  In this case, they get a bit further down the road.  Our hero, Henry has made it his life's goal to learn more about the connections of the human soul to the rest of the vastness of space/time.  Freed from the constraints of all of his biological functions, his mind is able to go where no man has gone before.   
So - in the Think Tank and connected to the Super Lepton Collider, the upgraded Webb and Hubble Telescopes and the Very Large Array, Hank is able to discern something that appears to be the 2nd Big Bang! If you thought the first Big Bang was all there is, you have a huge shock in store for yourself.  As it turns out, they're going on all over the place and sometimes, they even collide into one another and cause havoc over large sections of the universe. 
This is also a love story that connects the reader to the meaning and purpose of Cosmic Consciousness but in a completely new way - it's Science.    
All of this plays out against the background of our planet on fire and all life on Earth on the verge of extinction - even the oceans catch fire - (taken from actual recent headlines.) But cruising closer to the 2nd Big Bang with the aid of Jeff Bezos and his new Space company - everything works out in the end and all of human life becomes justified at last - but in a slightly different and higher context than the way we justify ourselves at the present..   
I don't want to give away the ending. I'm hopeful that I've done Arthur C. Clarke and Kurt Vonnegut proud.
