need to know when they need to know it.”  —Seymour Papert, world-renowned MIT mathematician and educator

 
 •  This is super, a brand-new book! Michael asked me to make this new anthology available for your evening readng at no cost, Five Years in the Himalayas, The Accounts of Explorer M.G. Hawking. Regular price $7.95, FREE worldwide March 5th. If you're new to our books, or are looking for new books to explore, this is a valuable anthology and reference volume. Available from select booksellers here, and on Google Play here.


Composed from the writings explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in remote areas of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into regions of our planet that in all history only a handful of people have experienced, a journey that leads to the discovery of the rarest and most powerful esoteric knowledge possessed by the human race.
     “The esoteric knowledge and practices presented in this book are transcribed directly from the teachings of profoundly enlightened individuals, and clarified by the insights of many of the most profound thinkers of our time. If studied with patience and fully integrated into your core belief system, this knowledge can lay the foundation necessary to enable you to acquire abilities that most people would say are unbelievable or even impossible. Yet nothing explained in this volume is supernatural or beyond the ability of a properly equipped individual. These abilities are not miracles. Quite the contrary. They do not require any capacities that are not inherent in the human species as a whole, if those capacities are properly recognized and developed.”  —Michael Hawking

Short excerpts from some sections of 'Five Years in the Himalayas' are below.  NOTE: The link in parentheses following the book's title provides access to several bookseller's websites, in case you're interested in knowing more about the book from the description and ''Preview' feature on the bookseller's page.

“Beliefs of the nature of life and the world give rise to repetitive patterns of thought and consistent pictures in the inner eye of the mind; because those patterns of thought and inner images create the nature of life and the world each person encounters, each person perceives endless proofs that their views of life and the world are accurate and so inalterable. Their beliefs created their life, yet they imagine that life created their beliefs. The horse pulling the chariot becomes to them the chariot pulling the horse. This inversion can be impenetrable.”  —Himalayan Master R.K., quoted from Quantum Consciousness     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)
     Note: This book presents the scientific information and esoteric knowledge necessary to enable a properly equipped individual to attain unique abilities. Recommended for high-intermediate or advanced students. Capabilities like psychokinesis and extrasensory perception refer to the utilization of consciousness in a manner enabling a person to influence or observe a physical system without direct physical presence or interaction, abilities increasing recognized in the academic and scientific communities as part of the field of human ability.

“The manifestations and results we create with visualization, once we initiate them, seem to come forth through fixed and invariable laws, but only because we perceive those results through our senses, which clothe all that they transmit in that dress of space, time and causality which our minds themselves have made. Nevertheless, we are beyond and above space, time, and the perceptions that we make. Each of us is a center of initiative force and creative power. Formulate your desire, then let your desire become action using the techniques of power I am teaching you. Your desire must be impeccably reflected in your thoughts and inner images—that is the magic. When you do this, in the inner world your desires are wholly fulfilled, immediately and effortlessly. In what you perceive to be the outer world, time may have to pass, circumstances change, or whatever, but that desire will manifest. It is law.”  —Mani Choejor, B’on Sorceress of the 4000-year-old Zhang Zhung tradition, quoted from Teachings of a B'on Sorceress   (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“You have been endowed with a conscious mind to direct the nature, shape and form of your creations. You are a creator translating your expectations into physical form. You see, the world is meant to serve as your reference point. The apparent appearance of your physical world is a replica of your inner thoughts. You can change that world at any time. You change it without knowing it. You have only to use your ability consciously, to examine the nature of your thoughts and feelings and project only those which agree with your expectations. They coalesce into the events with which you are so intimately familiar. I will teach you methods that will allow you to understand the nature of your own reality, and to point a way that will let you change that reality in whatever way you choose.”  —the Celestial Aani, quoted from Ri-iha-mo, Celestial Mountain Goddess   (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“The more developed the individual consciousness the more persistently it will seek its true source, like a child strayed from its parent, or a wanderer longing for home. If it is capable of patient study and meditation, it may find the ladder down which it came, and will climb back to its heights.”  —Himalayan Master R.K., quoted from A Chronicle of Power - Part 1 - Revelations of a Paranormal Kind   (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“The power of creativity flows through you as effortlessly as your breath. From it even the tiniest portions of your outer world spring into your experience. Your thoughts and inner images have realities that spread outward; they group through attraction, building up areas of circumstances that finally coalesce in forms which you perceive as objects in what you call space, or as a series of events in what you call time.”  —Kalika-Khenmetaten, author of the manuscript 'The Golden Crown' (composed in 1368 B.C. ± 17 years), quoted from A Great Master Speaks    (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

The dialogues presented in this extraordinary book are transcribed from explorer M.G. Hawking’s journals chronicling his conversations with extraordinary men and women he encountered in a remote region of the Himalayas, allowing readers to experience first-hand their expressions of the fundamental knowledge, essential principles of consciousness and specific practices that can enable extraordinary perceptive abilities and powers.
     5-Star Reviews: "What a rare resource! Hawking brings together an important anthology from an amazing number of adepts, masters ... with whom he engaged during a five-year trip to the Himalayas. I took pages of notes; highly beneficial for anyone on the path to enlightenment." — "Nothing else like this out there! Absolutely mind blowing. I am a long time student of the ‘occult’ and this book's knowledge far surpasses anything I have ever read in over 50 years of reading! Made abstract concepts clear. Truly life changing for me." — "Masters Speak is an amazing read; the book is riveting."”  —quoted from The Masters Speak, Twenty-Seven Dialogues   (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

  •  NEXT, to introduce some wonder and mystery into your weeknight reading, Michael asked me to make this new book available at no cost, Antarctica and The Lost Civilization. Regular price $8.95, this book is FREE worldwide March 5th. On it's release, this book became the #1 Best Seller in the 'Expeditions & Discoveries' genre, and the #1 Best Seller in the 'Ancient History' genre!

Explore Evidence of an Ancient Lost City on the Antarctic Continent. For decades the archaeological community labored under the theory that human civilization began only following the last Ice Age. Contemporary discoveries have dramatically undermined that conjecture. Modern research has unearthed hidden cities one after another. Archaeology now reconstructs an unsuspected antiquity of man and paints a canvas of stunningly mysterious dimensions. Previous academic accounts of the origins of civilization have fallen forfeit to evidence from archaeological sites worldwide, including Thebes (c. 37,900 BC), Edfu (c. 18,000 BC), Turkey (c. 12,000 BC), Bolivia (c. 15,000 BC), Indonesia (c. 22,000 BC), and, most intriguing, in Antarctica, possibly as ancient as 55.5 million years.

Remote sensing images from NASA test missions over Antarctica revealed what researchers say is evidence of an ancient settlement lying beneath 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometers) of ice. “There’s very little margin for error when it comes to individual photons hitting individual fiber optics, which is why we were so surprised when we noticed these structures on the imagery,” explained a NASA project scientist. “As of now we can only speculate as to what these features are ... there are possibly many other additional sites that are covered with ice. It just shows us how easy it is to underestimate the size, scale, and age of past civilizations.”

Archaeologists who have examined the images believe that they show clear evidence of a large settlement or city beneath the ice sheet. “These are features of intelligently-made structures, resembling some sort of pyramidal and rectangular buildings. We clearly have here evidence of advanced engineering. The only problem is that these images came from Antarctica under two kilometers of ice that's been there for millions of years. That is clearly the puzzling part, and we do not have any explanation for this at the moment.”

Puzzling indeed. The ice sheets now covering Antarctica formed about 35.5 million years ago. For the 100 million years or so prior to that time, the continent had been entirely ice-free. Even after the tectonic plate on which Antarctica is located had drifted to its present location, the continent’s climate was tropical. “It was a green beautiful place,” relates Jane Francis, Ph.D., Professor of Paleoclimatology, Leeds University, Director of the British Antarctic Survey. “Lots of furry mammals including possums and beavers lived there. The weather was tropical. It is only in the recent geological past that it got so cold.”

To explore this remarkable find and its implications, the explorations in this book are organized as follows:

• Part I: The Ancient Civilizations — Provides archaeological background and information regarding the pre-Younger Dryas Boundary event civilizations, circa 10,770 BC or earlier, and the known cataclysmic astronomical events that eradicated most evidence of prehistoric civilization from the historical record. Examines the ancient traditions and extant evidence of the accomplishments and technology of currently known ancient cultures.

• Part II: A Very Ancient City in Antarctica — Provides a detailed account of the satellite imaging evidence for the remains of an extensive Paleocene civilization existing under the ice of Antarctica. Also examines the ice-core derived, isotopic record from the Paleogene and Neogene geologic periods indicating that the infrastructure of an advanced civilization existed on the Antarctic continent approximately 55.5 million years ago, and may have been inhabited for 300,000 or more years. Examines additional evidence of anomalous high-energy particles emitting from the Antarctic ice sheet.

• Part III: Our Cosmos — An overview of our incredible universe, including recent cosmological and astronomical discoveries, e.g., that the number of galaxies in the observable universe is more than two trillion, and that our galaxy as a whole may contain over 40 billion “earth-like” (terrestrial) planets. Examines new results of calculating the Drake equation based on the most recent Kepler survey data and detailed studies of exoplanet atmospheres, estimating that extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy may number in the millions.

• Parts IV & V: Bonus Anthology Section, Mysteries of the Ancient Civilizations — Anthology of related material revealing the profound secret knowledge and esoteric powers possessed by the cultures of ancient civilizations, including prehistoric Egypt and the 4000 year-old kingdom of Zhang Zhung on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, along with the powerful abilities that can be attained from the study of that knowledge, ones that convey benefits of great value in our modern world.

Note from Amber: On June 25th 2021, the US intelligence community released its long-awaited report on what it “knows” about the scores of mysterious flying objects that have been seen and recorded by the military over the last several decades. The next day, Michael and I spoke to several friends at Caltech and MIT who are aeronautical engineers, astrophysicists and specialists who study exoplanets, exobiology and so forth. It was fascinating. Briefly, several observations emerged.
     First, the UFOs, or UAPs as they call them (unidentified aerial phenomena), are absolutely “real physical objects." The official report states, "We absolutely do believe what we're seeing are not simply sensor artifacts. These are things that physically exist." No kidding. Apparently the years of claiming sightings were "swamp gas," "ball lightening," "weather balloons" and the like have finally come to a close. Many of the sightings were made by multiple radar contacts, infrared scans and other types of sensors. Even better, in at least 11 cases, pilots reported a "near-miss" encounter with the UAPs, and when flying close to them the UAPs reacted by stopping, turning, ascending and descending in ways indicating they were aware of the military aircraft, sometimes mimicking or evading the military pilots’ maneuvers.
     In one encounter, two Navy F/A-18 fighter jets were launched from a carrier to investigate a radar contact hovering at about 80,000 feet above the ocean. As the jets approached, the UAP abruptly decended from 80,000 feet to a few feet above the water. The UAP took 3 seconds to decend that 80,000 feet, meaning it traveled in excess of 18,000 mph, and its sudden stop just above the water imposed a deceleration force of approximately 275 Gs.
     An F/A-18F pilot described the UAP he encountered as "an elongated egg or 'Tic Tac' shape about 46 feet in length, solid white, smooth, with no edges, nacelles, pylons, or wings, and with a discernible midline axis," which "took evasive action on being approached," and "effortlessly evaded interception." (The F/A-18 Super Hornet is capable of at least 1300 mph. It's actual top speed is classified and likely much higher.)
     Second, they’re definitely not some secret military project of ours, nor are they something a foreign adversary like Russia or China might be fielding. “The UAPs exhibit flight characteristics that radically exceed any technology possessed by humans.” They are able to hover, travel at hundreds to thousands of miles per hour, make turns that impose extreme G forces, are able to travel in our atmosphere, in space, and also underwater. There have been sonar observations made by US submarines tracking objects going over 500 mph underwater, and diving to depths beyond the ability of sonar to track.
     So what are they? Naturally, there’s speculation that they’re extraterrestrial craft piloted by aliens—the word alien comes from the Latin term alius, “other”—or robotic craft controlled by extraterrestrial aliens. However, it was pointed out to us by a number of astrophysicists that they could very well be, and are perhaps more likely to be, vehicles used by a non-human race that lives on our planet, and which may have been here for millions of years. UAPs like the ones discussed in the report have been observed worldwide for uncounted centuries. There are extremely remote land areas on Earth that are scarcely explored, and vast areas under-ice and undersea that are beyond our reach to explore. Less than 20 percent of the seafloor has even been mapped, making it a more mysterious place than the surface of Mars.
     Our planet is about 4.543 billion years old and our species has only been here for the last 0.004% of the Earth's history. From our knowledge of the Milky Way Galaxy, we know that the Earth is a pretty attractive planet with conditions uniquely ideal for life. Thinking we're the only intelligent species that could ever have been here is pure hubris. Modern humans have existed for just a few tens of thousands of years. Who knows what sentient beings may have evolved here or may have come here in the vastness of the past billions of years of Earth's history, and what technology they may have?

We invite you to explore an amazing discovery on the Antarctic Continent, along with knowledge that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of legend, myth, and secrecy. A truly fascinating book for anyone interested in the realities behind the ubiquitous legends of antediluvian civilizations and the possibility of ancient extraterrestrial influences.

  •  And here's a SPECIAL PREVIEW of a brand-new book offer! Here's a great exploration adventure and discovery anthology you'll enjoy for your weeknight reading, The Greatest Knowledge of the Ages, A Treasury. This book takes you on an unforgettable journey into two legendary realms to explore ancient knowledge and powers virtually unknown to the modern world. Regular price $5.95, for its introduction this book is FREE worldwide March 5th. Available from select booksellers here, and on Google Play here.  

 Over the ages, a rich treasury of powerful esoteric knowledge has been discovered, yet remains largely unknown to the Western world. Records of this wisdom are like the fragmented relics of a shipwreck; vastly more of the great knowledge of the past has remained hidden than has been revealed. “The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.” —Mark Twain

Drawn from the archived journals and field notes of explorer M.G. Hawking's five years in exceedingly remote areas of the world, this book explores several of the most captivating of all ancient legends, stories that for thousands of years have fascinated and inspired millions.

Since the dawn of the earliest civilizations on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the mysterious inner region of the Himalayas has inspired countless stories of a hidden sanctuary of great masters possessed of all-encompassing knowledge. Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient and enduring legends, and they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed. Yet, if this mysterious hidden realm still exists, who—or what—lives there? Why do they stay so carefully concealed? What knowledge do they possess? What powers? Where did they come from? If encountered, what would they want us to know?

Journey into a fabled lost realm deep in the Himalayas and far back through the ages to the mysterious civilization of Ancient Egypt to explore answers to these profound questions. Discover knowledge that for long millenniums has remained hidden under the most intense silence.

“What you are exposed to and what you are taught, from a very early age through your entire life, largely defines and determines perception, and that conditioning ordinarily excludes all but a tiny reflection of the true reality and the true nature of your inherent power. The reality of the masses is a consensual, communal reality. It is a pinhole through which they perceive only an infinitesimal portion of the Real.”  —Himalayan Master Amrita, quoted from A Chronicle of Power - Revelations of a Paranormal Kind     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“The objects around us are only symbols that transmit meaning. We create objects just as we create words, to express something, some meaning or knowledge. This constant creation of physical reality through thoughts and mental images is what we do, all of us. It is the attainment of the ability to do it with knowing purpose and intent that provides actual power and freedom. This is how our tradition views the true nature of physical objects, and this is why we can manipulate what you see as physical reality through our techniques.”  —Mani Choejor, B’on Sorceress of the 4000-year-old Zhang Zhung tradition, quoted from Teachings of a B'on Sorceress, The Ancient Powers     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“Experience is the product of the mind—your conscious thoughts and images—propelled into being by feelings; it is also a product of unconscious thoughts and feelings. These together form the reality that you experience. You are therefore not at the mercy of a reality that exists apart from yourself, or is thrust upon you. Your innermost thoughts and images are translated into seemingly material structures that you call objects; these exist, in your perception, within a framework you call space. Others are translated instead into structures you call events, in your perception these seem to exist within a framework you call time. Both space and time are illusions, yet they represent your most basic assumptions, which simply means that you accept both and assume that your reality is rooted in a series of moments in time and in dimensions of space.”  —quoted from Kalika-Khenmetaten, The Supreme Egyptian Adept, The Supreme Egyptian Adept     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“Your human species has been endowed with a conscious mind to direct the nature, shape and form of his and her creations. All deep aspirations and unconscious motivations, all unspoken drives, rise up for the approval or disapproval of the conscious mind, and await its direction. Only when it abdicates its functions does it find itself at the mercy of events over which it seemingly but falsely appears to have no control. The universe is a living thing, a cosmic unity of conscious process rather than a chaotic array of unrelated parts, as most of your species believe.”  —Ri-iha-mo Proci
“You will understand the true power of visualization when you wish not to fall asleep because your reality is finally better than your dreams.”  —Ri-iha-mo Aani   Quotes from Ancient Egypt, Extraterrestrial Origins     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

“Beliefs of the nature of life and the world give rise to repetitive patterns of thought and consistent pictures in the inner eye of the mind; because those patterns of thought and inner images create the nature of life and the world each person encounters, each person perceives endless proofs that their views of life and the world are accurate and so inalterable. Their beliefs created their life, yet they imagine that life created their beliefs. The horse pulling the chariot becomes to them the chariot pulling the horse. This inversion can be impenetrable.”  —Himalayan Master R.K., quoted from Quantum Consciousness     (This book is available from select booksellers here.)

When we issued the January 2026 edition of The Full Series with revisions and additions to a new selection of booksellers, the book's previous reviews were no longer attached, and all of them were 5-Star. Here are some of those reviews:

  "It's been a long time since I have not been able to put a book down. I read myself to sleep, over and over, day and night. This is my first experience with the author, and I was satisfied early on that he is telling us about an adventure that goes beyond anything that I thought was possible. Maybe you have read or studied reincarnation, other dimensions, telepathy, intuition, the subconscious, and all manner of what could be referred to as supernatural or afterlife. You have not read anything like this. The title of the book, nor my review, can adequately describe what you are in for. The last book that changed my life was 'Seth Speaks,' and that was 30 years ago. This book changed my life, this week."

  "An adventure unlike any other. Hawking has achieved a master piece of philosophy and adventure combined with spiritual truths and romance. It is unlike any book I’ve read, and I’ve enjoyed the third reading as much as the first; which, because of the amount of spiritual teachings inside, multiple readings are almost certainly a requirement to extract every ounce of information available from the masters and adepts within the story. Highly recommended."

  "Absolutely mind blowing! I am a long time student of the 'occult' and this book's knowledge far surpasses anything I have ever read in over 50 years of reading! Made abstract concepts clear. Truly life changing for me. You will be hooked on Hawking's book, which could change the evolution of the planet."

  "Masterful and Engaging Adventure in the Himalayas. A masterful story of adventure and discovery. Hawking artfully brings together a cogent examination of philosophy and science intermingled with Eastern Adeptic Wisdom. I couldn’t get enough and groaned viscerally when the story ended. Highly recommended."

  "Such a book has long been needed for mankinds' awakening. MG Hawking's detailed account of his time spent in the Himalayan Mountains is an awesome adventure and one of personal enlightenment. Not only does he relay his experience with his time among Adepts, but also gives the reader his knowledge of physics and history of the area. He brings this all together with a seamlessly flow of natural occurrences."

  "Knowledge that is not deeply known. Very simply a read that is hard to walk away from. I enjoyed being able to find material that I have believed had to exist but had not came across other than through the Edgar Cayce books. An amazing book and an awesome job."

"The book is so expressive that it makes you feel like being amidst the Himalayan ranges and meeting the respectful masters and people yourself, imbibing the unconditional spiritual messages and practices shared by them. Thank you so much Michael. "

  "Beautiful and deeply profound. A beautiful mix of spirituality and science, it opened my mind and literally made me cry .... several times. One of the best books I've ever read. Thank you."

  "A journey to heaven for quantum lovers. A delightful and very well written journey into an exploring author’s five year exploration of a hidden kingdom. Vivid description of persons and the imagery by the author was exceptional."

Some of the Good News from 2025 & 2026 You Probably Haven't Heard

Surprise, Surprise!  Many very positive things have happened recently, as objective people know, but these stories will likely come as a surprise! The facts may be perplexing to some, but many will find them very exciting. Studies from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, NOAA, Royal Society Science, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Schmidt Ocean Institute, the Polar Bear Monitoring Group and others have been—in what propaganda experts call "issue filtering"—entirely suppressed by the legacy media and censored by social media platforms. The results of these important studies received zero coverage on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times and so on. The truth is of great value, to say the         WAIT ... WHAT?
least. So if you love animals and the natural world, please take a moment to relax, enjoy, and reflect!

First, this is really wonderful. Giant Pandas are thriving! It's official, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is well on the road to recovery. For decades, pandas have been the world's most beloved conservation icon, and probably the cutest. The panda population in the late 1980s was 1,114, but has jumped to 2,708 as of November 2025, an increase of 147 percent! The IUCN has downgraded the species from "Endangered," officially marking the success of protection efforts. The creation of the 'Giant Panda National Park,' which covers 6,424,740 acres (2.6 million hectares), has protected vital bamboo forests. Giant pandas live in broadleaf and coniferous forests with a dense understory of bamboo, at elevations as high as 10,000 feet. Torrential rains or dense mist throughout the year characterizes these forests, often shrouded in heavy clouds The giant panda has lived in bamboo forests for several million years. A highly specialized animal with unique adaptations, the panda's thick coat keeps it warm in the cool forests of its habitat, and its strong jaws easily crush tough bamboo. Many people find these furry, lumbering animals to be adorable—we definitely do!

Speaking of adorable animals, once nearly wiped out by the fur trade, sea otters have made one of the most remarkable comebacks in wildlife conservation history! Sea otter populations have experienced a spectacular recovery across their entire Pacific range, largely due to reintroduction programs, legal protection, conservation efforts, healthy ocean conditions, and a spike in the sea urchin population, a favorite snack for sea otters.
     California's southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) have made a dramatic recovery along the central coast. Once reduced to fewer than 50 individuals, today their numbers have grown to over 3,000 along their coastal range, stretching from roughly Half Moon Bay in the north to Point Conception in the south, plus a small population on San Nicolas Island.
     In Washington State, the northern sea otter (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) population has grown from 59 individuals to over 2,916 in the most recent count (2022). In British Columbia, there were just 89 otters in 1971. By 2017, the BC population had climbed to over 8,000 individuals. And the global population of sea otters has rebounded from about 1,000 to over 125,000, now occupying roughly two-thirds of their historical range.

And this is truly brilliant! Giraffe populations are rising! Giraffe numbers are 20 percent higher than in 2015, an increase linked to dedicated conservation efforts. According to a recent analysis of survey data from across the African continent, the total giraffe population is now around 117,100, approximately 20 percent higher than the population of 97,500 in 2015, when the last major survey was published. Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) were once considered a single species, but recent genetic evidence shows there are likely four species of giraffe, three of which have increased considerably in number: the Northern giraffes, the Reticulated giraffes, and the Masai giraffes. The fourth, Southern giraffes, the most populous species, have remained relatively stable. Reported in February by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, and published in the peer-reviewed research journal "Imperiled: The Encyclopedia of Conservation."

News from the Rainforest! Jaguars (Panthera onca), for many decades under pressure from habitat destruction and hunting, are now no longer listed as “Endangered.” Although a few Jaguar populations are still threatened in some areas, a new study found something remarkable. Here's the headline from 'Science News' - "Huge Numbers of Fish-eating Jaguars Prowl Brazil’s Wetlands." A team of wildlife scientists from Oregon State University deployed 59 cameras in the Pantanal, an immense tropical wetland—the largest of its kind in the world that sprawls over parts of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay—and collected more than 1,500 videos of jaguars. The researchers also rounded-up 13 jaguars (here kitty kitty kitty) and fitted them with tracking collars to gain insight into the animals’ population density, movements and social interactions. Based on their data, they estimate that the Pantanal hosts the highest density of jaguars ever recorded, 12.4 animals per 100 square kilometers, nearly triple the population of earlier studies. Jaguars were also the most common mammal spotted on the cameras.           

And here's some great Ocean News. Humpback whales in the South Atlantic have nicely recovered from near-extinction! A new count shows the population off Brazil's east coast went from about 450 in the 1950s to over 25,000 now. Royal Society Science researchers report the population of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that swim the seas between South America and Antarctica has bounced back to about 93 percent of the population’s previous levels. Of 14 known humpback populations—seven in the Southern Hemisphere and seven in the Northern Hemisphere—10 have shown almost complete recovery, according to NOAA.
     And this rebound is part of a global trend for dozens of other ocean species. "We're seeing an ocean that's teeming with life like we haven't seen since the '40s or '50s," Chris Fischer, founder of the research organization OCEARCH, wrote in the prestigious science journal 'Nature.'

Ocean Research Expeditions Find Sea Life Thriving! As reported in the 'Smithsonian Magazine,' teams
of scientists found a vibrant community of sponges, corals, lobsters, squids and myriad other creatures while diving in the Pacific off the coast of Chile. A recent Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition to the underwater mountains of the Salas y Gómez Ridge identified 160 species not previously known in the region, with 50 of them being completely new to science, along with "forests of the rare red coral." During their explorations, the team documented the deepest-known photosynthesis-dependent creature in the oceans, a so-called "wrinkle coral." The Chilean research expedition was just one of many in which the Schmidt Ocean Institute made new discoveries in the Pacific—in January it found more than 100 new species, and in August it announced another 20 new species. "Our team’s work continues to show the great diversity and vibrancy of life in our Earth's oceans, and the innumerable varieties of the creatures of the sea."

Sea turtles are swimming happily as populations thrive! For millennia, humans have used both adult sea turtles and their eggs as a food source and for cultural practices. For example, the shell of the beautiful Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata, pictured) is prized for trinkets, jewelry, furniture inlays, etc. Yet greatly increased pushback from the public and numerous conservation efforts have seen poaching drop sharply, and populations worldwide are doing well. “The silver lining is that, despite some illegal harvesting, exploitation is not having a negative impact on sea-turtle populations on a global scale. This is really good news,” said marine scientist Jesse Senko, in research published in 'Global Change Biology'. “Contrary to popular belief, most sea-turtle populations worldwide are doing quite well,” he said. Additionally, the study pins down where—and by whom—sea turtles are being exploited, which helps conservationists target governments and communities for advocacy, said Emily Miller, an ecologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute.                           

The Bald Eagle’s Soaring Return! The number of American bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has skyrocketed since 2009, with more than 300,000 birds soaring over the lower 48 states, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service scientists said in a March 24th report. As a result of conservation efforts, the bald eagle population has risen from a mere 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to more than 71,400 nesting pairs now, an increase of 17,000%, and there are an estimated 316,700 individual birds today. Bird lovers have hailed the eagle’s recovery and noted that the majestic, white-headed bird has always been considered sacred to Native American tribes and treasured by people all over the United States generally. Biologists conducted aerial surveys and worked with the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology to acquire information on areas that were not practical to fly over as part of aerial surveys.

And here's some great BUZZZZZ. After almost two decades of the media's relentless "bee colony collapse" coverage, a gold-standard source reveals something remarkable—there's been a stunning boom in the population of the industrious little honeybees (Apis mellifera and Apis cerana). The numbers from the 'Census of Agriculture' shows that America’s honeybee population has rocketed to an all-time high. The U.S. has added almost a million bee colonies, and we now have 3.8 million, the census shows. Since 2007, the honeybee has been the fastest-growing so-called "livestock" segment in the country, according to National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), a division of the United States Department of Agriculture. And that doesn’t count feral honeybees, which may outnumber their captive cousins several times over. Plus, the Census of Agriculture also shows the population of our beautiful wild ducks is up 12 percent, and the deer population is up about 7 percent.

Fennoscandia's Arctic Foxes are Back! These beautiful animals (Vulpes lagopus) were hunted to near extinction in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Now, projects to breed and release them have been successful in steadily restoring the population. Near Oppdal in Norway, the 'Norwegian Institute for Nature Research' has been breeding Arctic foxes in captivity and releasing them in the wild. The program, funded by the Norwegian government, forms the backbone of efforts to save the foxes in Fennoscandia, the Northern European peninsula which includes Finland, Norway, Sweden and part of Russia.
     Equipped for temperatures below -40°F, Arctic foxes have short muzzles, warm fur and insulated foot pads. Historically, they live across the Arctic's circumpolar tundra, including in Russia, Greenland, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Arctic islands like Svalbard. In most of that range, they're still thriving, but due to hunting, in Fennoscandia they were gone or nearly gone. Now, thanks to coordinated conservation efforts, more than 550 now roam the wild in Norway, Sweden, and in Finland, where the country's first litter in 26 years was born. The goal is to reach a Fennoscandian population of about 2,000 individuals, at which point the populations will be fully self-sustaining.

Polar Bears Are Doing Really Well! Remember all the dire claims that polar bears are in danger, and may even become extinct? Turns out nothing could be further from the truth. The newest data shows polar bear numbers have grown significantly during the recent warming period. The populations of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) have increased from between 5,000 and 10,000 bears in 1960 to between 26,000 and 31,000 today, based on estimates from the Polar Bear Monitoring Group and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service— “Litter sizes are among the highest ever reported for 18 of 19 polar bear populations.”
     Biologists were mistaken about how polar bears would respond to summer sea ice losses, and have since learned why:  Polar bears evolved between 6,000,000 to 350,000 years ago, so adapted to thrive in climates that were alternately both much colder and much warmer than today.
 •   Here's how it was explained to me by a Stanford geophysicist:  "Over millenniums, the Earth's landmasses and oceans undergo immense changes—vast swings in global temperature cause miles-thick sheets of ice to cover entire continents then recede, polar regions experience ice-free sub-tropical periods, sea levels fall and rise by many hundreds of feet, exposing then submerging enormous areas of land, rift zones and canyons form then gradually fill to become valleys and plains, mountain ranges weather away while some, like the Himalayas, continue to rise, and full-margin rupture earthquakes and supervolcano eruptions dramatically change topography. To the geologic eye, the Earth is a fluid form. In relatively recent history, evidence shows that polar bear populations thrived during the Holocene climatic optimum, from 9000 to 5000 years ago, which proxy data indicates was far warmer than at present."
 •   What's more, real world observations by Native Inuit Tribal Communities also crush the alarmist claims that polar bears are endangered by reduced sea ice. An extensive analysis relying on native reports concluded that 12 of 13 Canadian Arctic polar bear sub-populations (92.3%) have been stable or growing in recent decades. During interviews with four Inuit communities on their experience with polar bears, all participants reported having more bear encounters in recent years than in the past. “Back in the '50s, the '60s, and into the mid '70s, there were hardly any bears,” said an Inuit tribal elder. “There are too many polar bears now. Bears can catch seals even if the ice is thin, and in open water.”                                                    

   •  Two adorable Polar Bear cubs were born at the Toledo Zoo! The little bundles of fur arrived to the joy of the parents, 24-year-old mother Crystal and 18-year-old father Nuka. A few days later the births were reported by CNN, yet they took that opportunity to claim, quote: "The species faces serious population decline due to climate change." The same claim was repeated on MSNBC. Really? The truth is actually the exact opposite. Polar Bear populations have increased by an estimated 230% to 340% since 1960, according to researchers from the Polar Bear Monitoring Group and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (see above), and new litter sizes “are among the highest ever reported." So why did CNN and MSNBC lie? Like so much of their broadcasting of "news," their "reporting" is propaganda, not journalism. Why the complete lack of respect for the truth? What is the intent of their lies?
• •  And then, 'CBS Mornings' ran a nice story about a resort in Kenya that helps protect giraffes, yet went on to claim, quote: "Giraffe numbers have dwindled to such an extent they are fighting for their survival," and that giraffes are "facing the threat of extinction," and of course it's because of "climate change." Once again, the truth is the exact opposite. Giraffe populations have increased from 97,500 to 117,100 over the just the last six years, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and peer-reviewed journals (see above). This infomation is very easy to find, it has been widely reported in magazines such as National Geographic, Scientific American, Smithsonian, Discover, and others. So why didn't 'CBS Mornings' celebrate this wonderful success? Why did they make up complete lies?
• •  I'm certain you've heard this kind of reporting from the media: "Climate change is causing more frequent and increasingly intense hurricanes." Well, that's a complete lie.  FACTS: The comprehensive record of all hurricanes that have made landfall since 1851—including those as of November 1st, 2025—shows no upward trend in the number of major hurricanes over the last 173 years. Moreover, there has been a 50 percent reduction in the number of major hurricanes (Category 3 or greater) making landfall in the U.S. over the last 95 years, since the 1930s.  Sources: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA);  Princeton Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory;  U.S. Geological Survey; National Hurricane Center;  National Weather Service;  High Meadows Environmental Institute, Princeton University; et alia.
     A peer-reviewed study recently published in Nature, in Science News, and in Nature Communications, titled 'Changes in Atlantic Major Hurricane Frequency Since the Late-19th Century', presented a very clear conclusion, quote: "There are not actually more Atlantic hurricanes now than there were roughly 150 years ago," and "There has been a significant decrease in the trend of hurricane energy and intensity over the past 25 years." The study was a comprehensive, cooperative effort of the following:  Geosciences Department, Princeton University;  High Meadows Environmental Institute;  National Hurricane Center;  National Weather Service;  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration;  and IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering, University of Iowa.
• •  Here's some other media reporting you've no doubt heard: "Climate change is causing more frequent, larger and more intense wildfires." That's also an outright lie.  FACTS: Around the turn of the century in 1900, an estimated 4.5% of the land area of the world burned in wildfires every year, or an average of about 2,587,950 square miles annually. By the year 2000, NOAA and the NCDC reported that this had declined to 3.2%, or 1,840,320 square miles, a reduction of 29 percent. Then, over the last two decades, NOAA satellites show an even further decline. In 2021, about 2.7% burned, and in 2022 just 2.4% burned, about 1,380,240 square miles, a REDUCTION of 47 percent in land area burned, some 1,207,710 fewer square miles than in the early 1900s (an area the size of India), and 460,080 fewer square miles than in 2000.
     The data is showing the total amount of land area burned in 2023 is estimated to have been 2.6% of the world's land area, approximately 1,543,750 square miles, a REDUCTION of 41 percent in land area burned over the last 120 years, some 1,044,200 fewer square miles than in the 1900s. And what about 2024? - The current data is showing the total amount of land area burned worldwide in 2024 was even less than in 2023, estimated to be approximately 1,505,798 square miles.   Sources: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Geostationary Satellite Data, Washington, DC;  the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), Asheville, NC;  and the Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton, NJ.
     In the United States, the peak in the number of acres burned actually occurred in 1930 with over 52,000,000 acres burned, compared to 7,577,183 in 2023, a DECREASE of 85%, and 2,634,910 acres burned in 2024, a DECREASE of 95% over the last 93 years. And the peak in the number of wildfires actually occurred in 1981 with about 244,890, compared to 69,988 in 2022, a DECREASE of 71%, 55,570 wildfires in 2023, a DECREASE of 77% over the last four decades, and an estimated 62,830 wildfires in 2024, a DECREASE of 32% from the year 2000.  Sources: The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the nation's center for wildland fires, providing statistics that encompass lands managed by all federal, state, local, tribal, and private agencies;  Princeton Environmental Institute, NJ.
•   Note from Amber - This is funny because it's true:  When the legacy media reports on virtually any topic, it's not fraught with meaning or facts or truth, it's fraught with the legacy media's overwhelming bias. This aptly demonstrates that sitting in an anchor's chair doesn’t make anyone an objective journalist any more than sitting in a garage makes them a car.

Freedom of speech encourages ideas, opinions, discussion and debate, but there is ONLY ONE SET OF FACTS.

“Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. Many other things are believed simply because they
have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.”  —Thomas Sowell

“Freedom of information is a fundamental human right, and the touchstone of all freedoms. For a press that is
afraid to let the people judge the truth in an open market, is a press that is afraid of the truth.”  —John F. Kennedy

          “The most valuable piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.”  —Antisthenes (445-365 BC)

          In an essay titled 'Science and Dictatorship,' Albert Einstein warned: “Science can flourish only in an atmosphere
      of free and truthful speech. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted in important affairs.”

A Cautionary Note, by Heather:  It is worth pausing here for a moment to consider that the absence of truthful and fact-based media stories on issues of public concern is not the result of sloppy or incompetent research, it is intentional. This is a very important, very serious matter. As Michael wrote: "The media has been assailing us with political propaganda so preposterous it nearly preempts mockery, a constant stream of so-called 'reports' so self-indulgent, so grossly stereotyped, so demonstrably false, and so shameless that one is almost astonished that they dared. It raises the question of who, if anyone, really believes them. How many people are actually that ill-informed, that naïve, that indoctrinated, or simply just that stupid?"
•   "Two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the Universe." —Albert Einstein
•   A professor of media at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism told me this: "The politicization of the media has become ubiquitous. The resulting duplicity of attempting to totally misrepresent facts and realities in a manner intended to deceive the public is as serious an infraction against professional ethics as a journalist or politician can commit. When that breach happens and the corrupt behavior of falsifications and fabrications come to the fore, it explodes the illusion of objectivity."
•   •A sociologist from Stanford told me: “The people spreading political disinformation that creates animus and promotes division are so destructive they make the Manson family look like the Brady Bunch. At the same time they express 'great concern' about the chaos, violence and emotional damage caused by their fabrications. That's like an arsonist complaining about noise from fire truck sirens.”
•   One of Stanford's definitive experts on the subject of political propaganda explained: “At their heart, these propagandists are about premising the hard-left political ideology of a small coterie of bi-coastal elites over the rest of humanity. Their motivating passion for falsified reporting is what they see as the right of their chosen group to manipulate and exploit others with absolutely no regard for truth and without restraint from any kind of law, human, moral, or divine.”
•   All of these responses are very well-stated, and it is interesting to see how deeply disturbing accounts of disinformation and heinous propaganda really are to professional researchers who know the truth, and how it moves otherwise restrained academic experts to unaccustomed pitches of lyricism.                                                                       

Hi, Amber here with what you might call a "technical" section. During the summer we went to a really fun balloon festival with our house guests and some friends from here in Mill Valley. When we got home we all enjoyed a nice BBQ and drinks out on our front patio. Later in the evening the subject of visualizations came up, mainly relating to how they sometimes work really well and at other times seem not to work at all. That ended up with Michael offering some insights and suggestions, along with relevant quotes from some outstanding sources. So I thought to pass along some of the conversation since it could be helpful!
     
Michael:  Aristotle, in his Nicomachean Ethics, makes an excellent point which applies to visualizations and also affirmations. He writes, "It is possible to fail in many different ways, whereas the path to success is narrow." Aristotle pointed out, for example, "There are numerous ways for an archer to miss her mark, but only one way to hit it. A last-minute tremor, a gust of wind, a tattered string, slightly twisted bow, inadequately feathered arrow or sudden cough; any of these can make the whole process go awry. Moreover, the archer who overshoots her mark misses by as much as the one who's arrow falls short."
     In the same manner, there are many ways for visualizations to fail—and thus, to disappoint and discourage—as they have very little tolerance when it comes to maintaining the demanding conditions necessary for success. Visualizations can be thought of as a concatenation of highly non-random, carefully circumscribed, strictly structured thoughts and images that must all come together to succeed, and at the same time keeping random, negative thoughts—such as doubt or failure—at bay.
     In her manuscript, the Egyptian masteress Kalika-Khenmetaten asserts that visualization is the primary technique for manifesting. She writes, “When you visualize, you channel and project energy. Generating an image of a specific outcome you desire and holding it in your conscious awareness—the inner eye of your mind—gathers and projects precisely the energies required to crystallize that outcome in your personal reality. This projection of mental or psychic energy is not supernatural, nor is it beyond the ability of any person with the proper belief structure. Nor is such a result of visualization a miracle, although to some it may seem so.” (Note from Amber: The quotes above and below from Kalika, circa 1370 B.C., are contained in our book, A Great Master Speaks, available here.)
     Michael:  From my experience, I can say that there is probably no practice so generally accepted yet so little understood as visualization. Many people you meet will tell you that they have had success with visualizations, yet equally as many will say will say they have not, or have had only minimal success. Any study of visualization will reveal contradictions which are strange and puzzling—a trivial request meets with success while one on an important matter fails. It is necessary to realize that in visualization certain laws are at work, ones which must be discovered, identified, understood, and fully integrated into your belief structure.
     Kalika puts it this way: “In order to fully understand the enormous creative power of visualization, you must first realize that it is a process of natural law and will always work if all the elements are properly and accurately provided. If a visualization does not work, it means that one or more elements were missing, or the process was improperly performed. A well performed visualization is complex and there are as many elements that must be avoided as included.”
     As many of you know, Kalika’s manuscript, The Golden Crown, contains several highly technical discussions. In one of the methodological sections of her manuscript, Kalika discusses the manifestation potential of visualization and affirmation which is very relevant to our discussion. She calls this, as we translated it, “Degree of Manifestation Potential as Dependent on Individual Parameters.” In other words, these are factors that directly impact the potential for specific visualizations and affirmations to produce results.

Those parameters are as follows:
 1)  Degree of realization/recognition of the law that the contents of consciousness (beliefs, thoughts, images)
      invariably create all of your personal reality, and in mass create the shared reality of the world;
 2)  Underlying field of core beliefs, conscious or subconscious/unconscious;
 3)  Master (controlling) beliefs, thoughts and inner images;
 4)  Degree of intent to create reality desired (power of will);
 5)  Available energy;
 6)  Precreation of probability of desired reality from experiential line of possible realities (opening a space in your
       life, in a physical and psychological sense, to allow the desired result to flow into your life experience);
 7)  Certainty of result desired actually manifesting;
 8)  Clarity of thought and imagery;
 9)  Consistency of thought and imagery;
10)  Detachment from result.

The first three parameters involve your fundamental concepts and beliefs, which if incorrect or incomplete the potential for a visualization to manifest results is severely limited. Kalika explains it this way: “Your thoughts and inner images have realities that spread outward; they group through attraction, building up areas of circumstances that finally coalesce in forms that you perceive as objects in space or as a series of events in time. Your interpersonal ideas about yourself and the nature of reality directly affect your thoughts and inner images. You take your beliefs about reality as truth, and so do not question them. They seem self-explanatory. You perceive them as statements of fact, far too obvious for examination. Therefore they are accepted without question; they are not recognized as beliefs about reality, but are instead considered characteristics of reality itself. They become invisible assumptions, but they nevertheless form your personal experience.”
     The fourth and fifth parameters involve your energy level and central intent; a weak, half-hearted or unfocused visualization will inevitably fail. The sixth parameter simply means that you must open the opportunity for what you desire to come into your life, it is always wise to make physical efforts to bring it about. In other words, it's easier to go through an open door than a closed one. The four remaining parameters involve focus and technique.
     So, when you work on a specific affirmation or visualization, design it carefully and then consider it in light of each of Kalika's ten parameters. It often helps to write out the affirmation or visualization on paper, slowly and methodically, taking the time to see what comes to mind as you do. This often exposes previously hidden or unnoticed beliefs.
     And don't be in a hurry, relax and enjoy the process. Remember, when teaching me advanced techniques of visualization, Mani told me, “The manifestations and results we create with visualization, once we initiate them, seem to come forth through fixed and invariable laws, but only because we perceive those results through our senses, which clothe all that they transmit in that dress of space, time and causality which our minds themselves have made. Nevertheless, we are beyond and above space, time, and the laws that we make; the laws are made in order to perceive, conceptualize, and understand the world of our experience. Each of us is a center of initiative force and creative power.”
     Mani Choejor instructed me this way: “Formulate your desire, then let your desire become action using the techniques of power I am teaching you. Your desire must be impeccably reflected in your thoughts and inner images—that is the magic. When you do this, in the inner world your desires are wholly fulfilled, immediately and effortlessly. In what you perceive to be the outer world, time may have to pass, circumstances change, or whatever, but that desire will manifest. It is law.” (Note from Amber: Mani's quotes are from our book, True Experiences with a Sorceress of the ‘Four Portals’, available here.)
     Michael:  I always remember what I was told by a Ri-iha-mo, one of the celestials who we knew as Aani. “In any complex visualization," Aani said, "you must have memorized the procedure, you must find a proper time and place, and you must attain a state of deep peacefulness before beginning. You must also practice the cadence of breathing before adding images in your mind’s eye. In so doing, you will breathe naturally without thought and can focus on the images. Images are the key.” And I will never forget her final words, and neither should you: "You will better understand the power of visualization when you find you wish not to fall asleep because your reality is better than your dreams. I need say no more."
