The greatest volcanic eruption of modern times occurred on August 27th, 1883 on the Pacific island of Krakatoa. It was a monster. After years of ocean quakes near the island and with tremblers and minor volcanic activity just a few weeks before, the mountain on Krakatoa finally erupted on that August day with four powerful blasts, the last one, a colossal explosion that emitted possibly the loudest sound that’s been heard on the planet Earth over the last 127 years.

- The most realized film version of Existentialism, Hiroshi Teshigahara‘s masterpiece is probably a perfect film. On the surface it’s about a man’s internal struggle over his inability to make a relationship work and his general alienation. This Sisyphus is an entomologist condemned to live material eternity in a trap that he must come to terms with. He is the insects he studies, lost in their futile struggle to build something that the earth will easily swallow up in time. All is transitory but the Self.
- According to the ancient sages of India, the Self is neither the body, thoughts, feelings, nor intellect, but rather all pervasive Being/Consciousness manifesting as the Heart in all beings, from which emanates the awareness of “I” and Knowledge of the Self, which includes the realization that all knowledge is in and from the subject-”I”, the seer, not the object.
