There is an old saying about problems that you may have heard before, "There are no problems, only opportunities." To this simple-minded approach, Bill Gibson says, "Hogwash." Problems do exist.

So when a pack of coyote shifters and their Alpha start hunting me and threatening the only remaining family I have left, I realize I’m going to need some paranormal help to fight them off. I do the only sane thing I can think to do. I flee to Moonhaven Cove and beg help from the local PNW council and the town’s sheriff.

The most famous problem in philosophy of mind has been built on a picture of matter that physics abandoned a hundred years ago. Once you remove that picture, the problem turns inside out. For thirty years, philosophers have wrestled with the hard problem of consciousness: how does physical matter give rise to subjective experience? The question feels urgent, even unanswerable.

It's what the founders of quantum ...

The idea that a small group of dedicated aspirants could work together to help dissipate the heavy enshrouding glamours which oppress humanity and deflect the light of truth, was initially quite a startling one. Spiritual progress has for so long held no meaning for the individual other than his own personal growth, that to consider spiritual experience in direct relation to world conditions is for many a revolutionary idea.
