Mike Guarneri's "A Skeptics Journey."

From: Mike Guarneri Long Island, New York September 13, 2023, 12:52pm Dear Friend and fellow Seeker, Recently, I interviewed the author of the book, "The Noble Art," Tiffany Lazic. You are wrong if you think the book is about some kind of aristocratic art. It's not about some new pompous art form, either. Then what is the Noble Art? It is a deep spiritual system using various modes of spiritual and energy healing as they connect to the wheel of the year. You can theoretically start the Noble...

Dear Friend and fellow Seeker, Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with a professional genealogist, Joseph B. Shumway. As interesting as it was learning about Joseph's life as a professional genealogist, the real headline was our discussion about Ancestral Lineage Healing. Yes, that is a real thing. Many people have benefited emotionally and otherwise by undertaking this practice. Joseph is certified by the company, Ancestral Medicine, as a Certified Practitioner in Ancestral Lineage...

Dear Friend and fellow Seeker, When I tell people about the ordeal I went through with my recent medical issues, they first ask me how I am doing now. (See last week's newsletter to learn what happened to me.) But before I can answer, the person I am talking to emphatically tells me I should sue for medical malpractice. While I do not intend to discuss with you any possible legal action I may or may not take, all the "Mike, you should sue" statements from friends, family, etc., got me...

Dear Friend and fellow Seeker, I invite you into my world with the following update story... Bright lights above me and voices all around. Slowly I open my eyes to the blurry scene of the recovery room. The pain intensifies as I become more alert. On the wall, I see a clock. It is 1:50 pm. Ok, good. My back surgery was supposed to be over between 2 pm and 2:30 pm. The surgery must have gone well... A nurse comes over and asks me if I am in pain. I try to say, "Yes," but no sound comes out....

Dear Friend and fellow Celt, A man is in great need of a surgical procedure. He is prone on the operating surface. The surgeon walks in, followed by other surgical team members. They are all wearing odd-looking outfits. Some surgical tools are available to the surgeon. The surgical team uses a mix of natural elements and chemicals. There are many risks of complications for the patient. The surgeon uses a knife to make an incision to start the surgical procedure. What is it that I am...

Dear Friend and fellow Celt, Back in the good old days, during my childhood and teenage years, I was always up for a pickup game of anything. Now, I wasn't a particularly skilled athlete, just average. Sure, there were some sports I played, some above average and some below average. The one thing you could count on was that I would bungle the easy routine plays but then turn around and make a difficult great play. I don't know if it was being outside, the physical activity, or a combination...

Dear Friend and fellow Celt, As we continue to explore the richness of Celtic spirituality, we cannot overlook the importance of holy wells. These sacred sites were revered by our Celtic ancestors as places of healing, purification, and spiritual renewal. Today, holy wells continue to be cherished as a source of inspiration and connection to the divine. The significance of holy wells in Celtic culture dates back centuries. The Celts believed that these natural springs were inhabited by...

Dear Friend and fellow Celt, When I was in high school, I studied Greek mythology as part of our curriculum. However, I wasn’t into it, as the gods seemed too immature and petty for my taste. I had no idea that there were other types of mythology, such as Celtic and Norse, until much later. As time passed, I began to explore the similarities and differences between various mythologies. Eventually, I became fascinated with Celtic mythology and its various cycles. The tales of Cuchulainn,...
