Superstitions March 10th, 2020

Do you live your life avoiding walking over cracks in the pavement or walking under ladders? How about searching for the second magpie after seeing just the one or wanting to cry for breaking a mirror? Well if so, you’re not alone or crazy!

Telepathic Communication Proved for the First Time December 5th, 2014

While the brain may appear as a tangible, three dimensional object, it is actually a process containing a potentially limitless source of energy and information.
