Bugs plague Burning Man, a staff member’s death, ecological impact, a children’s book for the playa and more in this week’s News from the Back Burner.
Jupiter Ascending takes Lana and Andy Wachowski’s unparalleled talent for world-building to new heights; this galactic fairytale is a parable about Disclosure.
The discoveries of quantum physics require a novel response in us which, when more fully understood and integrated, will irrevocably change us─both on the individual level and as a species.
As a world consciousness we are on the first wave of the new era. Looking back over major social transitions for the last two
millennia, this is the first time in history such a shift involves the entire world. We are united in the great collective unconscious, but that is now becoming increasingly the collective consciousness.
The seed revolution began one sunny afternoon on a neatly

dislocations and reunions; the Osiris myth marks many of the key points in this

The natural world bestowed upon us by infinitely complex processes of creation, in many very real ways, is actually ending.
