I’ve thought frequently about life and death. Certainly those of us who are alive face the inevitability of our body’s death at some unknown future point. But why? Why must our bodies deteriorate? Why must trees get old and die? Why must foxes slow in their speed and strength and new foxes come … More On life and death

I am grateful for the interactions with intelligent, open-minded people who either work with or frequent this organization, one focused on consciousness studies.
