The Fourth Kind | a frank discussion and review
This weekend was an extra-terrestrial movie double header…but not of the District 9 type. Rather, despite the ‘fiction’ label on the DVD box, I took a deeper look at the realities of the paranormal and prophecy. This discussion will span the next several posts here on ‘a New Life’. The first film was ‘The Fourth…
Read MoreThe Earth’s Experience of Space | von Daniken’s Chapter 10
The first 3000 word’s of Chapter 10 in Erich von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods stand as reflectively poetic today as they were prophetic when written in 1968. von Daniken boldly challenges the reader to consider the ‘future’ of major culturally significant events and evolutions – including the topics of overpopulation, world hunger, alternative and…
Read MoreThe A.R.E.’s Search for Atlantis | a Review
Drs………. Greg & Lora Little’s ‘The A.R.E.’s Search for Atlantis’ highlights the organization’s relatively recent field efforts investigating the theory that the Lost City of Atlantis had its roots in the island nation of the Bahamas.

Read More9 Steps to Work Less and Do More | a review
Is it really that easy? Frankly yes, once you break down how and where time is so very easily wasted. Stever Robbins’ new book ‘9 Steps to Work Less and Do More’ does exactly that – takes what we should all so very easily be able to manage (our time), and presents us all with…
Read MoreBlind Descent | book review
James Tabor’s recent 2010 book entitled ‘Blind Descent’ chronicles two parallel efforts to find the deepest places on Planet Earth…recognized widely as the last terrestrial frontier – supercaves. The book starts by showcasing some of the more significant pushes over the past several decades by Bill Stone in Mexico. Stone’s work accounts for the majority…
Read MoreHot, Flat, and CROWDED
Perhaps it is no coincidence that I wrapped up Thomas Friedman’s ‘Hot, Flat, and Crowded’ via audiobook while travelling last night. While en route to France from New York City, with the tools afforded by globalization at my fingertips, namely my iTouch, laptop, wi-fi on the plane, and my little fingers going blog-wild, I was…
Read MoreEdgar Cayce’s Atlantis | a review
There is nothing short of the word ‘rivetting’ to adequately describe Edgar Cayce’s visions of Atlantis. Coupled with the fact that such insight came from a Kentucky farm boy at the turn of the 20th century adds an even greater sense of bewilderment. ‘Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis’, authored by Drs………. Greg and Lora Little and John Van Auken…
Read MoreThe 4 Hour Workweek | a Review
Tim Ferriss’ ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’ takes us on a journey to find our personal freedoms from mass societal conformity. While Tim’s personal journey may not be 100% realistic for the middle and lower class who often depend on physical labor to make a living, there are several principles throughout the book that indeed hold up…
Read MoreUndersea Colonies | a review
Dennis Chamberland’s ‘Undersea Colonies’ takes us on a journey to better contemplate a permanent human presence in the oceans. The book is a quick read, and intended for both undersea professionals and the layperson. The book forgoes the complex physics and physiology of saturation diving and the engineering feats behind undersea living structures, and focuses…
