NASA’s Perseverance rover discovered leopard spots on a reddish rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls” in Mars’ Jezero Crater in July 2024. Scientists think the spots may indicate that, billions of years ago, the chemical reactions in this rock could have supported microbial life; other explanations are being considered.

In esoteric circles the phrase ‘divine discontent’ is sometimes deployed to describe an inner appetite which can never be satisfied by material goods or worldly rewards. It’s a potent urge to discover a world and consciousness deep within and yet far beyond the self. In other words, it signifies a spiritual hunger, whatever ‘spiritual’ means to you. (And this means many different things to many different people.) Essentially, it’s a gnawing knowing within that something vital is missing.

Your brain dances to music more than you think — it reconfigures itself in response to sound. A new technique reveals how rhythmic tones spark shifting brainwaves across neural networks.
What happens inside your brain when you hear a steady rhythm or musical tone? According to a new study from Aarhus University and the University of Oxford, your brain doesn't just hear it -- it reorganizes itself in real time.

From remotest antiquity sinister dark forces have had a disruptive and negative impact on human activity. These malign energies and the evil entities who employ them continually shape-shift to suit the needs of the time they wish to influence. They operate covertly behind the scenes but also in plain sight. And their mission is always the same – to impede humanity’s spiritual unfoldment and hamper its evolutionary potential.
This is a crucially important issue – especially for anyone on a spiritual path.
A new study has provided fresh insights into how animals such as the woolly mammoth, musk ox and arctic fox evolved to survive the cold during the ice age.
A team of palaeontologists and palaegeneticists studied ancient fossil and DNA evidence for the nature and timing of changes animals and plants in the Northern Hemisphere.
Young people often ask: “Why must we have humility? Is it not enough if we do social good? What need has a social worker or a national leader of humility? Let us remember that the worker is God and man is only His instrument. We would cease to be proud if such consciousness grew upon us that it is God who is the worker, the helper, and the saviour of the nations. Zarathushtra gives a vivid picture of hell, saying that in hell there are numerous souls, as the hairs in the mane of the horse, and they are as close to one another as our ears are to our eyes, and yet everyone feels himself alone! It is this feeling of loneliness which is at the root of misery in our modern world. The richness of life is rooted in the recognition that in our work we are in contact with and dependent on the divine.

Introduction by the author
I wrote the article below some time ago. Must admit, the subject is rather difficult, but I felt I had to write it since I have personally witnessed that having one’s body rebuilt is not always as simple and joyful as it is sometimes presented.
