The author, having degrees in philosophy and psychology, has taught courses in history, Indigenous studies and dream interpretation. He has helped found and taught in a progressive charter school which used arts integration and emphasized the sciences. In his own research, he has identified and published logarithmic patterning of time in biological and human cultural evolution, and most recently, the history of the astronomical world. The latter becomes the basis for considering the impact of a new awareness of the importance of planets in the grand narrative of our universe.
