This passage from Schopenhauer is so brilliantly brutal

This is so healing and calming in the heart

‘The book offers an exhilarating bird’s eye view of these four nations, shifting our attention away from London, from kings and parliaments, and moving us further west and north.’ - review of THESE ISLES in the Daily Mail.

A manuscript dismissed as a hoax describes a sunken land in the North Sea. Science has since confirmed land did exist and sink there. 🔹Known today as Doggerland 🔹Describes a sunken homeland called Atland 🔹Geologists confirm land existed in that region 🔹Places it between Denmark and the Shetland Isles Doggerland was a real landmass that once connected Britain to Europe, now submerged beneath the North Sea broadly where the manuscript placed Atland. It sank thousands of years before the manuscript's claimed date, but the geographical overlap is striking. Separately, the date the manuscript gives for Atland's destruction, 2194 BC, coincides closely with a simultaneous collapse of civilisations across Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Two details, two independent observations, neither proven yet neither fully explained away. Academics called it a forgery in 1867 and they may still be right... But where did the location and the date come from?

A cave under a Welsh castle just emerged as one of the most important prehistoric sites in Britain. It contains hippo bones, hints of Neanderthal occupation and over 100,000 years of layered prehistoric history. 🔹Hippo bones dating to 120,000 years ago 🔹Hidden beneath Pembroke Castle in Wales 🔹Ancient DNA preserved in bones and sediment 🔹Hints of Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens activity Wogan Cavern sits beneath an 11th century castle accessible only via a spiral staircase. For decades it was assumed the Victorians had emptied it, but small excavations between 2021 and 2024 revealed extensive preserved sediment layers spanning over 100,000 years of human and animal activity. Mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, wild horse and hippopotamus dating to 120,000 years ago, when Wales was warm enough to support them, alongside stone tools, traces of Britain's earliest Homo sapiens and hints of even earlier Neanderthal occupation that could push the timeline back further still. Researchers are calling it a once in a lifetime discovery and a five year excavation has just been funded. Britain has been walking over this for centuries without knowing it was there. What else is sitting undiscovered beneath the places we think we already know?

This Man dared to say that consciousness is a cosmic vibration field that our brains only tune into like radios, and not long after sharing these wild ideas with the CIA, he died in the fiery Plane crash of American Airlines, the deadliest plane disaster in U.S. history. Dr. Itzhak Bentov, an inventor and thinker whose model of consciousness helped shape the CIA’s Gateway Process research. Bentov’s main idea was that everything in the universe is made of vibrations. From atoms and molecules to humans and even the whole cosmos, everything vibrates or resonates, and these vibrations create reality. Sometimes the vibrations cancel out at a “node” and reach zero, and Bentov thought that in those tiny moments, reality briefly switches into a higher‑frequency state where we connect to a deeper level of existence. He believed that patterns of harmony (coherence) and disharmony (decoherence) in vibrations shape what we call physical reality.
