The Marfa lights, also called the Marfa ghost lights, have been seen for many years near U.S. Route 67 on Mitchell Flat, east of Marfa, Texas. Over time they have been linked to ghosts, UFOs, and the folk figure of the will-o'-the-wisp. Many visitors come hoping to see them, and the lights have become a small tourist attraction in the Big Bend region. Scientific research suggests that most, if not all, of the lights are atmospheric reflections of automobile headlights and campfires. This post presents the legend and the explanation side by side, so the reader can judge for themselves. What People Have Seen Observers describe the lights as distant spots of brightness that move in unusual ways. They are different from ranch lights and car headlights, which move in a more predictable fashion. Some say the lights appear to float, or to split and join again. The names have varied over the years. Some call them ghost lights, others weird lights, mystery lights, or Chinati lights, a...

In a quiet valley in central Norway, a stretch of about twelve kilometers is known for strange lights that appear in the sky and above the ground. They are called the Hessdalen lights. They can be white, yellow or red, they may last a few seconds or over an hour, and they sometimes move quickly and at other times hover almost still. Reports of unusual lights in the area go back many decades, and the phenomenon has drawn visitors, local residents and researchers for years. The lights are a real puzzle, but their story is also a good example of how science approaches an unexplained observation. Researchers have not reached a final answer, and they say so openly. This post describes what is known, what has been proposed and why careful study matters more than dramatic claims. A Valley and Its Visitors Hessdalen is a rural area with a small population and wide open spaces. In the early 1980s, reports increased sharply, and many people came to the valley hoping to see the lights. Some...

La Física Cuántica Confirma Que Creamos Nuestra Realidad

¿Qué es el misticismo cuántico, y de dónde salió? Durante la década de 1920, se hicieron sorprendentes descubrimientos en el campo de la física, que incluyen los ya mencionados fenómenos de dualidad onda-partícula y el principio de incertidumbre. Esto fue tan sorprendente que sus realizadores, grandes físicos como Edward Schrodinger y Werner Heinsenberg, se vieron tentados a relacionar sus descubrimientos con el misticismo oriental. En particular porque estas interesantes manifestaciones de la naturaleza, dan mucho para especular y sumergirnos en consideraciones filosóficas respecto al carácter de nuestra existencia, la realidad, y el universo y todo lo demás. Sin embargo durante la década de 1970, las diferentes corrientes New Age se comienzan a apropiar de la terminología de la mecánica cuántica , comenzando no sólo a especular desde dicho vocabulario, sino a dar por verdades científicas sus propias especulaciones. Se comenzó, entonces, a relacionar de forma indiscriminada, ...

Los círculos que representan a las sefirot están arreglados en tres columnas verticales, y que a la cabeza de la del centro, que es la más alta de las otras, formando el vértice superior del triángulo de las sefirot, está la Sefirá Kéter (‘la corona’, que es la primera sefirá). En esta enumeración faltaría la Shejiná, el pueblo de Jehová (Israel), que es la que une a jehová y al mundo de los humanos. En un principio la Shejiná formaba parte de jehová pero el pecado la alejó de éste y ahora jehová aparece y desaparece como la Luna. Quizá la Shejiná sea la última sefirá (el Reino) con el nombre cambiado. Kéter (‘corona’; כתר) Jojmá (‘sabiduría’; חכמה) Biná (‘entendimiento’; בינה) Jesed (‘compasión’; חסד) Gevurá (‘valentía’; גבורה) Tiféret (‘esplendor/belleza’; תפארת) Netsaj (‘eternidad’; נצח) Hod (‘majestuosidad’; הוד) Yesod (‘fundación’; יסוד) Maljut (‘realeza’; מלכות) Descripción de las Sefirot Kéter - La Corona Keter, ("Corona", en idioma ...

In Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, the sefirot are a set of ten divine emanations. The word means something like "countings" or "emanations," and it names the channels through which the unknowable God, called Ein Sof or "the Infinite," becomes known and active in the world. Each sefirah is a way of describing a quality of the divine, and together they form a map of creation, of the human soul, and of the spiritual life. The sefirot are often drawn as a tree, with three columns and ten circles connected by paths. Students study this tree to understand how the divine light moves from the highest level down to daily life. Many people who first meet Kabbalah are surprised by how much of its teaching lives in these simple diagrams. The Ten and Not Nine The number ten has a source. The ancient book Sefer Yetzirah, the Book of Formation, speaks of ten sefirot of nothingness, "ten and not nine, ten and not eleven." Later teachers developed...

En 2020, un equipo de astrónomos anunció un hallazgo que dio la vuelta al mundo: una fuente de señales de radio que se repetía cada 16 días. El caso se relacionó con los llamados estallidos rápidos de radio, o FRB por sus siglas en inglés, y algunos titulares hablaron de mensajes de otras civilizaciones. Para entender qué se descubrió de verdad, conviene separar la observación de la especulación. Este texto explica qué son los estallidos rápidos de radio, cómo se detectó el patrón de 16 días y qué hipótesis manejan los científicos. La explicación más seria es que se trata de un fenómeno astrofísico todavía en estudio, y no de una comunicación. Qué es un estallido rápido de radio Un estallido rápido de radio es un destello muy breve de ondas de radio, que dura apenas unos milisegundos. Su energía puede ser enorme: en una fracción de segundo liberan tanta como el Sol en varios días. El primer caso se detectó en 2007, al revisar archivos de observaciones de radio. Desde entonces, los...

Few subjects divide people as sharply as UFOs. Some see them as proof of visitors from other worlds. Others see ordinary planes, balloons, planets, and rumors that grew over time. Between those two views lies a long list of reported sightings, each with its own story, its own witnesses, and its own open questions. This post walks through some of the best-known reports and what is known about them. Each case is presented as a report or a claim, and the explanations offered are noted where they exist. The goal is to describe the claims clearly, not to settle them. Kenneth Arnold and the "Flying Saucers" In June 1947, the private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine bright objects moving fast near Mount Rainier in Washington State. He compared their motion to a saucer skipping across water. Newspapers picked up the comparison, and the phrase "flying saucer" spread quickly. Arnold's report is often called the start of the modern UFO era, although the objec...

Do we live in two times at once, and does a "double" of ours, in a time we cannot perceive, answer our questions and shape our thoughts? That is the central claim of the "theory of the doubling of time" of Jean-Pierre Garnier Malet, explained here in an interview recorded before a weekend workshop in Barcelona. Below is a summary of what he says, followed by what holds up and what deserves a second look.

QUE ES EL DOBLE CUANTICO? COMO LO INVOCAMOS?

In 2019, more people in North America looked up at the sky and reported something they could not name. According to the National UFO Reporting Center, a private group based in Washington State, the center received 5,971 reports that year, up from 3,395 in 2018. The jump was large enough to make headlines, and it raised a simple question: why would so many more people see strange lights or objects in one year? The answer is not a single mystery. Several factors help explain the rise, and the most interesting part of the story is how ordinary sky events can look extraordinary to someone who does not expect them. This post looks at what the reports show, what experts said about them and why an "unidentified" object is not the same as an alien one. What the Numbers Describe The reports collected by the center come from phone calls and online forms. Many are anonymous, and the person submitting them describes what they saw in their own words. The center publishes these accoun...

The World is the last card of the Major Arcana before The Fool returns to begin again. It is the twenty-first card, and it closes the long road of the deck. Its image is quiet and joyful: a dancer inside a wreath, surrounded by four winged creatures. Many readers see in it the feeling of arriving somewhere after a long journey, and of realizing that the arrival is also a doorway. Like every card of the Major Arcana, The World carries an upright meaning and a reversed one. The upright card speaks of completion and wholeness. The reversed card speaks of a finish that has not yet been reached, or of a closing that has been rushed. The Image in the Rider-Waite Deck At the center of the card stands a naked woman, wrapped in a violet cloth that flows around her body. She is dancing, one leg lifted, inside a large oval wreath of laurel. In each hand she holds a wand, similar to the one held by The Magician, the first card of the deck. This link suggests that what was begun with the wand...

Judgement is card XX in the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot. It comes after the Sun (XIX) and before the World (XXI). It is one of the most striking cards in the deck, and it speaks of a call that cannot be avoided: the summons to rise, to answer and to be seen as one really is. In the upright position, the card brings rebirth and absolution. In the reversed position, it shows a call that is ignored, out of self-doubt or fear. Both meanings are about the same question: will you answer the call? The Image The Rider-Waite card shows naked men, women and children rising from their graves. Their arms are spread wide, and they look up into the sky. Above them, the Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of God, blows a long trumpet. The people respond to the sound. They are ready to be judged and to learn whether they will be accepted into the heavens. In the background stands an extensive range of mountains. The mountains signify obstacles that cannot be avoided. There is no way...

The Sun is card 19 of the Major Arcana, and it is one of the most cheerful cards in the Tarot. It sits between the Moon and Judgement in the Fool's Journey, and it brings warmth after the confusion of the card before it. Its keywords in the upright position are positivity, fun, warmth, success and vitality. It is a card that says the light is back, and that life is ready to be enjoyed again. Upright meaning When the Sun appears upright, it speaks of joy, health and success. It suggests that you can trust your energy and let yourself enjoy the good moments. The card often points to a time when things become clearer, friendships grow warm, and projects move forward with ease. Its message is simple: the sun shines on the living, and this is a time to be open to the world. The card image In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, a large, bright sun shines in the sky, representing the source of life on Earth. Below it, sunflowers grow tall above a brick wall. Some readers connect the sunfl...

The Moon is the eighteenth card of the Major Arcana, and it is one of the most unsettling images in the tarot. It speaks of things we cannot see clearly: dreams, fears, and the hidden currents of the unconscious. Its message is not comforting at first glance, but it holds a quiet truth about trusting our inner sight. In this entry we look at the upright meaning, the image itself, the reversed meaning, and the guidance the card offers when the fog begins to lift. Upright Meaning When the Moon appears upright, it points to illusion, fear, and anxiety. It speaks of the subconscious, where things are stirred up and hard to name. Intuition is strong here, but so is confusion. Dreams may feel significant, and the mind may fill empty spaces with shapes that are not real. The upright Moon asks you to be careful with what you believe in the dark. Not every sign is a truth, and not every fear is a prophecy. The Scene on the Card In the Rider-Waite image, a full moon hangs in the night sk...
