The Cosmic Lantern
The cosmic lantern is a very strange device that has existed through several millenia. It was recently discovered by the author Arthur Lake in London, England in an antique shop. The lantern has inspired a series of books based on Lake's experiences and those of a host of people that have interacted with the people who have possessed lantern through the ages, and around the globe. Lake has researched the story of the Lantern and its association with Tintagel, Wookey, Glastonbury, King Arthur, Lancelot of the Lake and the Knights of the Round Table.

In Search of the Miraculous - Dr. Richard Maurice Bucke
The path I took to PD Ouspenski many years ago is somewhat circuitous. I begins with my reading a book by Dr. Richard Maurice Bucke on Cosmic Consciousness. It is strange to read now in the Google write up on the book that that the book was also one of the favourites of PD Ouspenski and William James. Dr. Bucke's medical research at the London Ontario insane asylum is to find an explanation of insanity occurring in his patients during the 1800's. He suspects that many of his patients are not really insane but that what appears to be insanity is the result of an evolution of the human mind. And, so Dr. Bucke's research begins.

Strings In Cosmic Space - Are They For Real?
Scientists are pondering the irregularities of what they see as space and time. The notion of a big bang still has many followers, but there are new ideas. One of these ideas has to do with cosmic strings that are enormous entities created in the earliest period of the formation of the universe. The concept of cosmic strings derives in part from the theory that matter is ultimately made up of extremely tiny strings, string theory. Much of cosmic science is based on educated guesses and hypotheses that have yet to be proven.

Explaining the Wu of Wooh
As readers are undoubtedly aware, the author of this blog, AW Lake, is also the author of the very successful book "Wuh Lax and the Cosmic Lantern." The leading character of the book, which is the first of a series of books featuring a large cast of characters, is Wuh Lax, who is a mythological character. I say mythological, but the irony of it is that Wuh is an archetypal hero with a very great presence. As my stories unfold, the devoted readers of the series will become aware that Wuh, the mythological individual, really does exist on an ethereal plane. This is why the books are aimed at the ethereally challenged. But, I should explained a bit about what is meant by the ethereally challenged?

Who or What is God? Life and Laws!
You may be asked, "Do you believe in God?"If someone asks you the question its because they are not sure themselves because if they were sure then the question would be irrelevant, like asking someone if they believed in wind. The existence of wind would be obvious as would the existence of God.The fact that many people ask the question whether God exists may mean that they are unsure whether they themselves exist.

Relax with Wuh Lax
Give yourself and your children a chance to escape with a good book. As the author of the Wuh Lax series, I can think of no better way to relax than to read the Wuh Lax story and learn what the Cosmic Lantern is all about. You will be able to sit quiety in your arm chair in the evening with a soft light over your left shoulder sipping a mug of coffee or cup of tea transported back to another period of history.

A Snake and Ladder World, Apples and Gardens of Eden
We live in a snake and ladder world. By analogy, we experience life as a series of experiences in which we ascend and descend along the pathways that we have chosen as our preferential pathways.We prefer certain things,certain experiences, certain combinations, certain activities. The more we make these preferences specific the greater the combination of aspects that we rely on to make them possible. To become ever more specific we built supports that give us the specificity we desire.

Entropy in an Inside Out Wuh Lax World
A number of things trouble me about the standard or received model of cosmology. I do not claim to be a physicist, but merely an artist trying to figure out my universe. My problem is with the notion of entropy which according to the second law of thermodynamics says that chaos is always on the increase. The law of energy associated with entropy also says that energy is unidirectional with respect to time in that the arrow of time always goes in one direction. It means that information is lost as we experience entropy

What is Seven Thousand Years Historically?
What sorts of threads can link peoples over a period of seven thousand years. People raising children leave genetic markings for future generations. People raise other animals besides children and the genes of these other animals can be studied. The means by which people communicate may also survive over long periods, so that language and the origins of words can be studied. If the communities remained fairly close to where they started out and if they settled then one can study the effects of settlement, which can include all aspects of the life cycle from birth to death.

The Mysterious Lines Running Across South West Britain
One of the great things about Google maps is that it is possible for one to verify hunches that one has had for a long time, but thought were too crazy to be true. Well, for me it appears that at least one hunch is true, and, indeed, it is very strange. This is one everyone can test out for themselves since it requires only Google and a few tools of the digital age.

Unruh's Law in a Wuh Lax Universe or Something Deeper
Unruh's Law states that if you are an observer and you are accelerating, then you will see yourself embedded in a gas of hot photons for which the temperature is proportional to the rate at which you are accelerating.I might be forgiven, since I am not a cosmologist or physicist in wondering whether or not I am in such a universe. When I look around, I see myself surrounded by a 'gas' or relatively 'hot photons'. In fact, I do think that it is the photons from the region of the sun that are keeping me warm.

The Science in Religion
All religion contains science, and surprisingly enough even those religions that deny the role of science probably contain a hefty amount of science hidden within them. To determine what the science is within a given religion one has to ask very specific questions. The first is to ask what the purpose of the religion really is. If the religion has no real purpose then it is not a religion. All religions have a purpose. You just have to identify what that purpose is.

The Law of Three Forces
Gurdjieff, the thinker and teacher of philosophy, refers to the Law of Three Forces. His work is discussed in the various issues of the Gurdjieff Review. Other books can be bought at Fields Bookstore, or if you wish, a visit to Foyles in London, England. Foyles, was once the world's largest bookstore, but is now the world most famous bookstore.The Law of Three Forces is a very ancient belief tradition. The Holy Trinity is the Christian expression of the law of three.

Kings, Poets, Sages, Gods, Prophets and Stars - What gives?
In our earthly existence, we deal with what we know as best we can with the tools that we are offered to us or that we acquire by whatever means are open to us. We can deal with our world because of our senses and the tools these senses enable us to use. Our challenge comes when we are asked to go beyond our senses and beyond anything that we know how to manipulate with our senses. The temptation is to forgo our individual task of using our own senses and assume that we can gain by assumptions about sensations rather than the actual sensations themselves.

Worlds Without Mass or Size
In an earlier blog, I wrote about a universe in which light did not move and everything else was moving. In our measured universe, light has zero mass and scale invariance. Light, as it happens, has many of the interesting properties of unparticles in what has been called the unparticle world by Professor Howard Georgi of Harvard University. Georgi's ideas may help cosmic model builders propose an explanation for some of the real mysteries afflicting the explanatory power of modern physics.

The Mythological Bases of Our Respective Realities
Our respective realities are based on internalized mythologies. We are living worlds of dimensions that we hold personally and independently. You don't understand what I am saying do you! Let me explain.We see evidence of an additional dimension as a barrier that we cannot ultimately cross for whatever reason. Over time, man has broken away at the dimensions impacting on his awareness and has reduced them into known dimensions. Unlike a worm, man has eyes that can see in three dimensions, but unlike a bat cannot see in the dimension of sound. One might ask whether man can see because like a bat man emits light that returns with an image of what forms a dimension out there, outside the brain.
