Weekender: When I was a small child in the late 1940s and early ‘50s, shoe stores came equipped with x-ray machines that allowed salespeople and parents to make certain that a shoe fit a child’s foot without crowding growing bones. I remember eagerly stepping up on the platform and peering through the lens for a fascinating view of the bones of my feet surrounded by shoe leather.

Now, of course, routine x-rays of children’s feet are an appalling idea. But unfortunately, total numbskullery often becomes evident only in retrospect.

Dr. Maurice Nocoll was one of the greatest interpreters of the gospels from an esoteric viewpoint who ever lived. In his books the Mark and the New Man, he explains that real religion is about the life of a hidden man who is unborn in all of us.

It’s heating up in Antarctica and flooding in the driest place on Earth – Chile’s Atacama Desert. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are higher now than they’ve been in the last 23 million years.

From what can be gleaned from air bubbles trapped in ancient ice, C02 levels have averaged between 170-280 parts per million since our species first emerged on Earth approximately 200,000 years ago. Now, however, they’re reached 400 ppm. At the rate we’re going, C02 concentrations could well reach 550 ppm by 2100. We are all canaries in this coalmine.
