*“I am now 86 years old. At the age of 16 I took responsibility for Tibet
at a difficult time and in so doing I lost my freedom. At the age of 24 I
lost my country and became a refugee. I have met all kinds of difficulties,
but as the Tibetan saying goes: ‘Wherever you are happy, you can call home,
and whoever is kind to you is like your parents.’ I lost my country, but
I’ve been happy and at home in the world at large. Living a meaningful life
is not about acquiring money and other facilities; it’s about dedicating
your life to helping others as much as you can.”*

Dalai Lama

Introduction

Steve Detwiler created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock
and the late John Anthony West to share news and information on various
disciplines to include but not limited to paleontology, space sciences,
genetics, and archaeology.  His goal behind sharing this publication has
always been very simple, by sharing knowledge we can make our world a
better place.  This publication is Mr. Detwiler’s contribution to bring
people together and share ideas and discoveries with his fellow humans.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!
