A Life Essay on Mysteries

There are many things around us which we see and take for granted but for which we have no explanation.

 

Home Page

The menu items are rather mixed up! "Philosophy" ought really to read "Healing". Three of the items under Philosophy are actually about healing. And then, in "Religion", there is also an item about healing: "The King has Cancer". Little by little, I'm refining the website. "Poc a poc", as one would say in Catalunya, where I lived for 20 years.
This website is my personal Life Essay. At the age of 80! I've written about my recent life - my adventures in Colombia, Ukraine and The Philippines in a Google blog. I also wrote a story of my life, also in a Google blog. But this website is my own. This essay is very much about what I believe, from a Christian, but also a secular point of view, using sources from physics and philosophy. And this brings up many mysteries, because although I believe in many things which are treated as fairy-tales by some people, I can't explain them either! I guess many people wouldn't consider me as truly Christian, especially those who treat the Bible as truth and take it quite literally. But, during the past 20 years, I have embraced many subjects from a scientific point of view which actually help my pseudo-Christianity. Each page has a subject that challenges me, and I hope, you too! I want to add a colourful master page, which takes the visitor on a journey through the website. In May, 2025, that is underway. A completely new website, which you see now in July - same name, same text, but written from scratch using Dreamweaver. I monitor how many visitors come here but I don't publicise it especially. It's an experiment to see how many people find this website. I'm not really expecting to go viral! (or maybe in my dreams!)

How to explore this website 
In total, there are 33 separate subjects on this website, each one exploring a different mystery. They don't all appear in the main menu and the website is designed differently for phone users and desktop users, with tablets somewhere in between. You can find these hidden pages by following the pages which do appear in the menu. For mobile users, the menu is "clickable", there are no drop-down choices as appear on the desktop version. If you click on one of the four main menu items (Religion, Science, Philosophy, More Mysterious), you will be taken to a further choice. If you are using a desktop computer, you can click on the drop-down items. The same list appears on the "About" page but with hyperlinks to the subjects, but that is cheating! Try exploring the website, and you should arrive at all these stories!
