Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
Our human genome is full of viruses similar to HIV-1. These have played an important role in human evolution and still play an important role in human embryology and day-to-day chemistry. Just how important are they to our evolution past and future?
I am a writer, teacher, storyteller, carpenter, organic gardener (by way of sorting through some labels) with a currently restrained wanderlust and a roaring imagination. I arrived in the realm of quantum physics by way of my investigation of self and the invisible power, not even a thoughts distance from experience, we claim to understand by calling God. More than a decade later, the weave of time and life, study, practice and astounding interactions have produced this book I call What If? A Beginner's Course in Exploring the Quantum Question of Consciousness. It was written with youth for an audience, but in the end that really just means direct, approachable and entertaining no matter what age takes it on. In the end or the beginning, we are designed, top to bottom, to change. We are open systems.

Accomplishments
To me the shining accomplishment of my life is truly knowing and reciprocating the love and community of countless remarkable people. I've seen a fair chunk of the surface of the planet and had experiences of work and play, creativity and destruction that is fuel for stories on and on. It's that love though, that's grown and grown over the years and miles I'm proudest pin on my chest. Thank you.
