Wisdom Quarterly officially hits five million direct views (with more indirect views than we can count), which means another tribute to the characteristic physical feature of our mammalian species.
Welcome, helper
devas! Not so fast, great dragons (
nagas). Hold it right there, furious titans (
asuras). There are so many kinds of earthlings -- seen and unseen, dense and subtle, animal and spiritual, overt and covert -- so who's reading this journal?

- Little could we have known that it would take another ten years to reach 10,000,000 official views or that it was on in 2024 that we reached the most views in one day, when more than 41,000 viewers visited. There have been countless other views due to sharing, taking of our work, and variables in counting meters.
