Death, Denial and The Paranormality of Life.

"Oliver entered the shop and asked a big bearded man with a wooden mallet for a job. He became the stone cutter's apprentice. He worked in that dusty yard five years. He became a stone cutter. When his apprenticeship was over he had become a man.
He never found it. He never learned to carve an angel's head. The dove, the lamb, the smooth joined marble hands of death, and letters fair and fine—but not the angel. And of all the years of waste and loss—the riotous years in Baltimore, of work and savage drunkenness, and the theatre of Booth and Salvini, which had a disastrous effect upon the stone cutter, who memorized each accent of the noble rant, and strode muttering through the streets, with rapid gestures of the enormous talking hands—these areblind steps and gropings of our exile, the painting of our hunger as, remembering speechlessly, we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, a door. Where? When?
-Thomas Wolfe in Look Homeward Angel


Today I bring you no news, no obscure metaphysical reference nor obtuse theory or tract that you can collect in your back pocket as we pass upon this proverbial street.

It's Sunday, wet, foggy and in perpetual twilight as I write this to you
on such a fitting day.

"All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?'
-Chuang Tzu

As a young boy who saw the world through an autistic prism, the existential set piece of a funeral, that was acted out so many years ago, by the various familiar and mysterious characters who, in the hindsight of memory, inhabited a vivid dream, imprinted by example, a secret whispered between the lines of their dialog.

As if I could penetrate the ghosts who inhabited the sundry masks of the jocular business man, the elderly aunt who sat primly in the corner,quietly unacknowledged as well as the overly obsessive chattering exchanges that filled an oceanic void,and that mask of my father, stolid and enigmatic.
I witnessed by that experience, an adult world of pantomime, a world I still inhabit.

Death was the host of that occasion and all the involuntary invitees labored with civility and courage to ignore that fact.

In some sense, I stand aside that young boy that was me, as an adult whose mainspring of time is now measured more by a receding view in the mirror of myself than in what lies before me as I approach being the center of another such occasion, my own death.

Our common role, now worn so routinely as if to become invisible to ourselves in this play, is one of perplexity masked by the familiar, as if the recognisable were a talisman to ward off the spectre of the para normality of existence itself.

One gift that autism provided was the ability to observe others, who had not even the remotest concept of who or what they were, but played their part to perfection.

Perhaps the pathological skeptic is an extreme example of this.

You, by the fact that I am speaking to you in the words you are reading in your own voice, anonymously entered into this domain, for what purpose?

We peer under every rock, we crawl through every bush, we analyse, compare and conceptualise the paranormal as an elusive rune of meaning that perhaps in some vain hope, this too shall apply to us.

Why, you ask? There is no other species of sentient companion that may share with us by extension, a defining clarity of what we are.

We have looked everywhere else.

At one time, Loren Eisley was our Poet Laureate, the unseen observer who, upon observing a row of pumpkins flickering on a Halloween night, and remarked on the resemblance both to himself and to all of us.

In an off line dialog I was asked by a certain, well known researcher, a question regarding the potentialities of extraterrestrial communication. I answered his question with my own. What would you ask them?

His wonderful and sincere response was he had not thought of this.

The process can mask to obscure the point of the exercise to the degree we may forget why we began at the point of origination.

For me, as a young boy, a funeral was the unintended invitation to walk behind the dark scrim, behind the litter of props and the false fronts of stage sets.

There must be something there. Perhaps it was the future. A future me who would be the one who knew. and could somehow return and tell the younger version who I was.

That was the way it was. I stood in the snow and watched as the bronze coffin that carried my beloved grandfather sank below the ground.

As someone once told me, I write this for you so that you will not forget.

Part 2: The Notes From The Chinvat Bridge

Dedicated To Ahura Mazda

"What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment."
-George Kelly


Occam's Razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. If this principle is correct and we apply it to the apparent enigma and central question of ufology, which is the lack of interest in establishing interspecies contact, we may have an answer. Perhaps we do not recognize that it is we who are the omniscient dinosaurs of our own epoch in which we reign supreme. Despite our self professed ownership of all that we see, to another more advanced species we are but a small part of an ongoing process, and that for them this is an opportunity to witness a extinction one of many such extinctions that have occurred over millions of years on this planet that they have observed and studied and will continue to do so. This exponential growth in interest began in earnest when we brought to the surface of this planet the very process which provides life in order to transform this organic life, a product of our Sun, into into the dead, inert matter of dust. Or at least in my extra dimensional dreams, this much has been said.


A triumph of technology and of the perversity of humankind. They are witnessing a process that began epochs before our arrival and will continue long after we have passed into a sedimentary layer, one of countless such layers that impart the history of Earth. They are observing yet another temporal epoch, yet another extinction. They will continue to observe when we in our vain glory have become fossilized remnants for another species to theorize upon and our cities have been worn by the elements into sand. But let us return to both the present and the near future.


We begin not in the abstractions of physics or mythology or information theory. We begin squarely on Terra Firma. I have sharpened my razor to take a good look at our own species past and current behavior in relation to the possibility of contact with another species. I have volunteered for this odious task in explaining the other parties issues with establishing interspecies contact. For some of you, I am literally, The Devils Advocate.

Creating demons out of the "stranger" the "other" in the pack is a defensive knee jerk reaction born from our animal instincts toward territoriality. One of the most amusing outgrowths concerning the possibility of contact with another species is the inordinate amount of free floating anxiety attached to an exponentially expanding growth of the threats we project upon what an encounter would provide. Where once we banged on sticks now our technological advances has allowed to do so with a much expanded range on the internet. As T.S Elliott described a situation wherein "the center will not hold" as governmental and cultural institutions increasingly exhibit an inability to manage the dissolution of order, the theories and rumors of extraterrestrials will increase exponentially in their abstractions. The future is not promising as it is viewed in extra dimensional dreams. There is the burning of the rubble from collapsed homes that provide solace at night for newly formed communities of refugees. The barter economy based upon the salvaging of canned foodstuffs by tradesmen called 'Canners" in popular parlance returns. Corporate flags fly over voluntary work camps whose meandering throngs make the scene look much like those encampments of The Great Depression. All of this ends "with a whimper, not a bang."
They live in the upper floors of mid rise buildings to which they moor their fishing boats. Some are adorned with what could be called tribal rings along their arms and backs with tattoos which illustrate their rank by deeds in the community. Is this a portent or a potential?

In these dreams, in this specific context, our elusive observers have stated they cannot save us from ourselves.


Let us now return to the stream of largely inane chatter regarding our observers. We need only consider the capability that we ourselves have in monitoring communications channels a hundred fold to consider that they are more than capable of discerning this bizarre behavior in advance of any empirical proof that any harm has been done. For those who think for some reason that it has occurred..well, what if you are wrong? From soul catching to slavery to cloning to what have you, consider that as I suspect, this is not the case, then we have certainly made it clear we are more than a little unstable in both maturity and outlook. They view this as the psychology of anxiety projected upon an unspoken awareness that we do not understand ourselves as well as the fact, we are in the early throes of a semi-hysterical state

Then there are the surrealistic chases by our military aircraft who are not only incapable of a successful targeting of aggression, but who exhibit a provocative responsive stance without any provocation. Unless you consider the act of appearance a provocation. We have told them, yes we do. Fortunately, more mature behavior was exhibited by our supposed "intruders." Yes the territorial imperative is alive and well.

Another amusing psychological observation they have potentially made is our governmental secrecy toward publicly recognizing in any fashion that they exist.

One of our species traits is the overwhelming and uncontrollable application of technological advances far ahead of any capability to determine their value in moral and ethical terms, as well as what the consequences of their use may foreshadow.
An intelligent extraterrestrial could easily provide us with a far advanced technology knowing full well that in our hands we would be more than willing to utilize it without giving this much thought. This of course being due to our aforementioned addictive behaviors toward uncontrollable ownership by possession.They would need only step aside and observe us as we hasten the demise already underway of organic life on our planet, which only receives faint lip service anyway.

This pathological dithering about concerning the exponentially expanding extinction of our environment provides more than enough evidence for abnormal behavior.
Consider this as well, the actual reason for a great deal of this well what a surprise, is an unwillingness to throttle back on another already existing technology......energy.

On the other hand one must more seriously consider that if they, the extraterrestrials do exist, they would have some very serious misgivings regarding our responsible use of any such technology. Anything we are given that has any remote possibility of being converted into weaponry would be quickly undertaken.

A more apt and chilling example of our normality is what was done upon the discovery that we may be sharing the planet with another sentient species, the dolphin.
Outside of eating them, there was the development of plans to teach these innocents how to carry warheads to an "enemy."

Such endeavors hand us a gifting of technology would be akin and as useful as training a monkey to ride a bicycle. Perhaps the most apt example of our species misuse of an advanced technology was the introduction of the television. While having a vast potential to educate and communicate among our species on this planet, we have used it to desensitize ourselves toward our own addiction to have it occupy a position far in excess of any value we receive from it.
Somewhere in the vast interstellar regions of space, gossip over the latest travails of addiction by "stars", certainly passes as more vertebrate lunacy from a planet known for it.


Then of course, there has and is a ongoing war of either local or global proportions since recorded history began. If that were disquieting to a visitor, then imagine what they must observe when they witness the sacred institutionalizing of our species genocide toward itself, with little flags, countries like real estate companies and squabbling over what are supposed to be shared resources, that in reality, nobody owns except in the misfiring neurons of our normality. There are those who have no shelter, there are those who have nothing to eat, there are those of our species that have no medical care and are dying as I type this for want of an inexpensive inoculation while concurrently, we spend billions of dollars on our species inter tribal warfare.

Instead of our forces being united in seeing others as they see themselves, we squander minutes than have turned over into centuries throwing rocks and banging on sticks.

Before we begin judging an intent we know absolutely nothing about, we should all take a deep breath and look at our own intents as evidenced by our behaviors and then ask ourselves if we ourselves put the shoe on the other foot, and put ourselves in their place honestly, without deceiving ourselves, the answer is clear.
They are not the issue here in terms of the possibility of interspecies contact.
We are.

Perhaps its time we stop throwing our abstracted rationales toward others lest we be judged ourselves. Perhaps all of us and myself included, find it safer to travel down a road of mystification rather than explore what is in front of our eyes, especially since what we see is more than enough justification for another species to keep us at arm's length.

Our species is both a dangerous and voracious predator who now kills members of it's own species not for food but as an imprinted ritual of honor with a gift for doing so
by advancing the technological edge of this pathology at every opportunity. We can turn on "on a dime." We have no consistent behavior toward others nor for the most part any cognition of what we truly are. There is no hiding this from another species more advanced than our own. This is not complex. It is very simple to observe.

We can only assist ourselves in this crisis. It is ridiculous to assume that another species that is akin to Superman or Mighty Mouse and will save us from ourselves, which would be absolutely contrary to natural law and an impossibility. This is not the purpose of contact.

The case for contact is largely one of wishful thinking, that circulates as if this swirling whirlpool, our crying need to rise above our origins, were a case of self justification for our acts, or lack of them. However that does not preclude contact as our own self justifications have no extension onto another's concern.

It would be as if we ourselves would attempt to communicate and lead a tribe of indigenous simians.

So our little group returns as each slowly struggles back, one by one, back to The Chinvat Bridge. We were unprepared for what we saw, and more importantly, we now say little to each other. Someone in a resigned tone of voice says "If anyone is interested...they are passing over us now..."
No one bothers in their contemplations to look up. The answer was the simplest explanation, however it was the one we were least capable of viewing. We repack our belongings in the anticipation of returning to our families, but most of them we leave behind as they will serve no useful purpose now. These notes I leave for you, to do with whatever you will chose to do with them. Our observers are neither angels nor devils as I have discharged my obligation as permission lent itself to reveal. As for myself and my companions of another stripe, We wish you well.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it....

-"If" by Rudyard Kipling.

Part One: The Notes From The Chinvat Bridge.


On the fourth day, we have made our way to The Chinvat Bridge (the Bridge of the Separator, also call Al-Sirat), accompanied by gods of protection. The bridge is "finer than a hair and sharper than a sword" and spans a deep chasm teeming with monsters. On the other side of the bridge is the gateway to paradise.

Perhaps we can say that we, the adherents of the UFO phenomenon have reached such a bridge in our estimations, as the clock exponentially increases it's path toward a demarcation between the perception of monsters chained by desire and the angels of paradise. Perhaps this may be intentional, this positioning on the bridge.

Perhaps this intention is one not entirely of our own design.

We tell ourselves at it's foot, that we have reached our latest challenge solely by our own efforts as if we ourselves were the center of all the phenomenon we have observed so far.



A species defines itself in the many facets of behavior that it exhibits to an observer. We have defined ourselves as a sentient species by a process of comparison with other species. However, we are at a disadvantage in this as we can locate no other species, who appear to exhibit sentient cognition on a par with our own.

We, as a species also make an effort to study ourselves and our behavior.
This is the only means that we have at our disposal to define a consensus as to what constitutes normal behavior. We have no basis of comparison to view ourselves as a species from another species point of observation, let alone one which may be advanced in evolutionary terms beyond that of our own.

This unique state of affairs leads to both conjecture and conceptual modeling based on our own narrow view of what constitutes normal behavior, as we define, based soley on the subjective basis of our own sociological and psychological "insights" as to what a more advanced state and station of another sentient species may constitute.
How likely is it that an advanced species would murder one another,or conduct this as an institutionalized and cultural practice over a span of centuries?

If we move away from our speculations upon this recognition, we have another to consider. Plato in (Book VII of The Republic, discusses Socrates observation of another fallibility in our cognition toward another species as Socrates discusses justice with Glaucon, one of Plato’s brothers.

Here we have a situation that compounds the situation of judging another's species behavior to that of our own.This facet of our equation explores the fallibility of cognition of one's state and position in relation to location as it impacts the sum potential of our speculations upon cartography of our critical assumptions.

"Let’s compare our own education and understanding of the world to people in a cave—to human beings in an underground, cave-like dwelling with a long and wide entrance open toward the light. From childhood on, the people who live in this cave have their legs and necks chained so that they can see only straight ahead in front of them. The chains keep them from turning their heads in any other direction.'

http://www.cco.net/~trufax/paradigm/paradigm/plato.html


John Klein:I think we can assume that these entities are more advanced than us. Why don't they just come right out and tell us what's on their minds?
Alexander Leek: You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them?

So we pause and prepare ourselves before moving forward. We look around us and see the various members of our little group. Some of us have lost our humility along the way as we approached this yawing chasm. We expect answers from others in that we cannot provide for ourselves. Perhaps our answer is an image reflected back to us which we have provided as a rationale without questioning it's source. However some of us see the source as an existential illusion manufactured by necessity. Others,would prefer that it cannot exist because they have chosen that the decision to observe would strip away the clothing that protects their ignorance of an answer. Others have created a self comforting mythology to preserve the sanctity of the intellect. Some provide answers in lieu of questions. Some look to the town constable who wears the costume of protection and justice to explain his assumed knowledge as it is his role to know. However he informs you by his silence that he knows its secret when, in fact he is hiding that he does not know. If you knew he did not know, he believes his job which you finance may be on the line. He has little to fear, as he unwittingly has joined our expeditionary band toward a an immeasurable precipice, unmapped and fraught with the anxiety of a recognition, that all of us are unprepared.


Certainly we all recognize, if anything, that this situation of our little group is a very interesting one from an existential perspective. Perhaps as we assume that we ourselves are an object of interest rather than the larger picture of context, which we cannot grasp by our isolated stance upon an proverbial island, all of our speculations are a moot point. If they were not, then preparations would certainly be well underway for contact. We would be aware and follow a course free of the myriad of cross purposes our that chatter demonstrates. We act upon the stage of our own species isolation as if it were perfectly logical, perfectly insightful like out two freinds who await the arrival of Godot.


In Part Two, now that we have set the staging in proper arrangement at our encampment at the footings of The Chinvat Bridge, we will compare notes on conceptual models of behavior in an advanced species by looking at some potential examples, rare and as obscure as they are, among ourselves. We will also look at something we all would prefer not to admit,at the peril of our own existance, our natural predisposition of addiction.

At dusk, our leader at the rear of our little group faintly calls through the thickening fog for us to move forward onto the bridge as the weather begins a turn for the worse. We must have everything we need now. We frantically rummage through the intangibles we have gathered in preparation for this final summit for which we have gathered to surmount. There is no turning back fron The Chinvat Bridge.

National Security and The Targeting of Thought



"There is an Eastern tale that speaks about a very rich magician who had a great many sheep. But at the same time this magician was very mean. He did not want to hire shepherds, nor did he want to erect a fence about the pasture where the sheep were grazing. The sheep consequently often wandered into the forest, fell into ravines and so on, and above all, they ran away, for they knew that the magician wanted their flesh and their skins, and this they did not like.
At last the magician found a remedy. He hypnotized his sheep and suggested to them,first of all, that they were immortal and that no harm was being done to them when they were skinned; that on the contrary, it would be very good for them and even pleasant; secondly he suggested that the magician was a good master who loved his flock so much that he was ready to do anything in the world for them; and in the third place, he suggested that if anything at all were going to happen to them, it was not going to happen just then, at any rate not that day, and therefore they had no need to think about it. Further, the magician suggested to his sheep that they were not sheep at all; to some of them he suggested that they were lions, to some that they were eagles, to some that they were men, to others that they were magicians. After this all his cares and worries about the sheep came to an end. They never ran away again, but quietly awaited the time when the magician would require their flesh and skins."
-GI Gurdjieff

The UFO Phenomenon As A National Security Threat

For those of you who are regular readers of this site, you have come to know that the locus of my efforts are not placed in the arena of politics. This is an exception as well as a story about domestic intelligence and the enigmatic and covert monitoring of this website, which on the face of it, would not appear to present any present or future danger to you. Does it pose a potential danger to The State? Apparently it does, to The State Department,The Department of Justice and to Naval Intelligence.
Why? you ask. I don't know but apparently they know something I do not and they are not about to tell me. I suspect, of course it must be my subject matter. Scroll down the home page and pick a topic. Perhaps Mr George Orwell had an insight into this situation wherein "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.' Then again, this is not so.
There is no revolution afoot.
We are entranced toward the trivial, the entertainments and the necessities of wages. As Ray Bradbury observed "There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them." Our ambivalence toward the welfare of our own liberty is based upon a greater desire and concern for personal gadgetry.
Below the surface of the familiar and the self comforting lies that we whisper to ourselves, slowly seeping as an underground stream into the under pinnings of our lives, an presence alien to us watches silently, observing us in stealth, marking the observations of our behavior well, targeting our interests, our dialogs, who comes and who goes and most importantly, our thoughts.

Increased Domestic Role for Intelligence Foreseen
"Spy satellites and other classified intelligence technologies are poised to play a greater role in domestic homeland security and law enforcement missions, challenging long-standing legal and policy barriers against their domestic use.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that the Director of National Intelligence recently authorized access to intelligence satellite products by officials of the Department of Homeland Security to help support border security."
-Secrecy News from the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy


"Now, these same cynics decided that World War Three would be a war of information systems that had to do with the control of the belief systems of the masses by small groups of people, usually in a secret environment, with very sophisticated means of communications, computers, satellites and so on."
-Jacques Vallee

This imaginary scenario set forth by Mr Vallee has a faint ring of familiarity. Yes, as a matter of fact, as I recall it, this scenario had a tactical strategy embodied by a slogan as well as perhaps this slogan describes more accurately an increasingly common scenario of Mr Orwell's "doublethink".

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
-1984

A Shift Of Paradigm
It is a cliche that those who do not learn the lessons of history are fated to repeat them. Anyone who is an apt student of history recognizes that the coordination of the manipulation of patriotism, electronic media manipulation and the covert strategic targeting and domestic surveillance of civilian citizens was pioneered some sixty years ago. That concentrated bureaucratic management toward the interests and investments of the potent coordination of private industrial and governmental interests and aims held in common ultimately failed in a catastrophic collapse which proved to be a delusion that the pathology of control is an absolute. In this specific, pioneering effort to reinforce the interests of the state over that of it's citizens,only in hindsight is clear. Melding of the states and private economic interests with that of it's citizens requires a common real or perceived enemy, whether it is concrete or created is a matter of expediency. For many in Germany, the consequences of recognizing this matrix of powerful forces after the fact,, was both stunning, and an indictment of their suggestibility toward their own manipulated fears. Through the study of history, we see this as a fact, not an opinion that absolute power or the presumption of it, corrupts absolutely. In a series that focused on black box projects in experimental physics during the last months of The Third Reich and the subsequent covert recruitment of scientists and intelligence officers who were, in effect, war criminals, folded into fabric of our own government, I asked myself aloud on this site, I really wonder who won World War Two?
Yes, I intuit a transfer, a shift of paradigm beyond that of technology,upon a transference of possessions due to the admiration of efficiencies..yes an admiration not spoken in public..an acknowledgment that it was not us that won the war, it was they who lost it.



It was Thomas Jefferson who originally warned that banking interests were far more dangerous than a standing army. At the same time, also in hindsight, one considers the unknown circumstances and back ground that leads to an inexplicable yet profound testament of prophecy by a patriot whose credentials in this regard are unquestioned. His warning is both cryptic in it's portent and a warning against an as yet unrecognized threat. If you study the nuance displayed by studying the transcript of his speech, one gets an impression that while he was concerned enough to pronounce a warning, he was apparently over run by circumstance, as he did nothing that I am aware of to thwart it. Perhaps it is not an irony, but a astute recognition that this public warning came from the man largely responsible for the defeat of the Reich. He sensed the arrival of a new form of government for and by the combined profit of governmental and private interests. If this were so, the potential for profit is infinite. Democracy would become ceremonial. It was George Washington , the General of The Rebellion and our first President who set this country on the path to liberty and denied himself the role of King who warned us to; 'Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."


"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
-D Eisenhower

If this were so, then a position that was formerly ceremonial would be required for a point position addressing the needs of this unseen corporation,someone to carry the water, as it were, to operate this new governmental corporation.Do we have a candidate to insert into this theory that evidences this role? The behavior would have to evidence a melding of the governmental corporate financial profitability with the propagandistic flair toward instilling these goals in a public forum using Dr Goebbels brilliant but dark manipulation of patriotism. Also, as someone once advised "Follow the money." In all this, the representatives of the people must obey the dictates of their silence, referenced long ago by the clergyman Jonathan Mayhew, who forever changed history in a rousing sermon, when he denounced taxation without representation.


"This responsibility did not come to us by chance. We are in a unique position because of our unique assets, because of the character of our people, the strength of our ideals, the might of our military and the enormous economy that supports it. We cannot take these for granted, and President Bush does not. He has proposed, as you know, the largest increase in spending for national security in a generation. The skill and bravery of our troops and the power of their equipment to protect American and our friends and allies is at stake. The precision of our weapons can spare the lives of innocent civilians. Yet modern warfare is expensive. In Afghanistan, the effort has cost more than $30 million a day. We must also remember that the time frames involved run very long in the military. The forces we'll have to defend us 10 or 20 years hence must be planned and built today.' -Richard Cheney

File under: WAR IS PEACE.

How much profit is involved? File under: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. Thats a secret as well. in other words, praise the citizen soldier, use citizen's patriotism as a duty and then do not allow them to view the checkbook from whence their funds are withdrawn. Brilliant, in a sociopathic sense. There is no way, for example, to know who is doing most of the reconstruction work in Iraq, because it is being handled by subcontractors, who never work directly for the taxpayers. Rather, they report to companies like Halliburton and Bechtel, which have been awarded giant umbrella contracts, and are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.It was Samuel Adams who observed "He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections."

There is another cost to this. Tell that to a loved one, a mother, a sister, a brother who has lost someone. No photographs are allowed of the coffins as they arrive home, just as if there was no human cost....akin to a video game. All of this makes my stomach turn. Ask yourself one simple question, what drives all of this so successfully? Its the doublespeak that is most eloquent. Fear. We are protecting your freedom by removing your freedom

File this under:FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.

"Then the plotline in Iraq turned out to be not just phony, but also ridiculous. Not only were there no weapons of mass destruction, but the chemical warfare the generals and ex-generals nightly told us to expect also never materialized. Saddam Hussein not only had no offensive weapons, he didn’t have many defensive ones. That summer, when it turned out our troops had staged a lightning raid to “save” Private Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi “military hospital” that didn’t even have a Nurse Ratched in it, we broadcast the revised history as reported by a Canadian newspaper—the first TV news outlet in the country, I think, to do so. The right-wing water-carriers buffeted our management, and our management buffeted me."
-Keith Oberman from Truth and Consequences

Oh yes, did i mention that I use Comcast? Do you?

"Upon lawful request and for a thousand dollars, Comcast, one of the nation's leading telecommunications companies, will intercept its customers' communications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.The cost for performing any FISA surveillance "requiring deployment of an intercept device" is $1,000.00 for the "initial start-up fee (including the first month of intercept service)," according to a newly disclosed Comcast Handbook for Law Enforcement (pdf).' -From Secrecy News

"And need one ask whether, in such a society, the concepts of self-government, republicanism, or "rule of the people" can have any real meaning?"

Our Domestic Intelligence Crisis
By Richard A. Posner
Wednesday, December 21, 2005; Page A31
"We've learned that the Defense Department is deeply involved in domestic intelligence (intelligence concerning threats to national security that unfold on U.S. soil). The department's National Security Agency has been conducting, outside the framework of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, electronic surveillance of U.S. citizens within the United States. Other Pentagon agencies, notably the one known as Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), have, as described in Walter Pincus's recent articles in The Post, been conducting domestic intelligence on a large scale. Although the CIFA's formal mission is to prevent attacks on military installations in the United States, the scale of its activities suggests a broader concern with domestic security. Other Pentagon agencies have gotten into the domestic intelligence act, such as the Information Dominance Center, which developed the Able Danger data-mining program."

From Forbidden Science To Forbidden Thought
I am writing to you as a fellow student of the paranormal, the anomalous, and the mysterious. This post also concerns an overlooked topic, the sanctity of our quest to explore, to ask questions to theorize and wonder in the face of increasing governmental intrusions into these facets of our thoughts both private and public.In this age of encrypted truth, we are the objects of unsolicited management. There is no longer a need for the MIB, no need to knock on a unsuspecting fellows door at 3am.
Due to the ongoing surveillance of these words that you are reading, by those who feel an obligation to not openly disclose, discuss or ask us personally as to our unalienable expression of thought as to assume upon themselves, a judgement that our intent is counter opposed to that of the State without a shred, an iota of evidence in a country founded upon reason, that this is so.
We are not alone in this. Follow these links and you will leave behind as I have, a fundamentally critical assumption concerning a sacred obligation by those whose wages we pay by taxation,to protect our liberty as individuals.
Here is a situation from a fellow blogger who detected a covert visitor that is very similar to that of my own. I have several.

From Hongpong.Com, a review of stats led to a surprise.
"So let us consider the IP numbers of the CIA's openly marked relays. This is information released publicly (over DNS) - so don't anyone accuse me of going Novak. The CIA obviously has computers whose IP numbers don't say friggin "CIA.gov" when you look them up. 198.81.129.194 and 198.81.129.193. On the 193 address they came on a google search for "goss punish cia analysts cold war 2004" back on Nov. 10, 2004, when surely Agency employees were pondering the blowback from the election. They ended up on the War on Terror index page."

BIG BROTHER: So Many Fans in Norfolk!
JEEZ, RIGHT AFTER my previous post went up about the discovery of mustard gas artillery shells in Spring Valley, my site meter started lighting up from the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. I had no idea I had so many fans in Norfolk that are still using Windows 2000! Thanks for the traffic! I hope my readers realize that this information already was printed in The Washington Post, which has a considerably larger readership base than The Washington Oculus. Nothing sinister here folks. Unless of course you're talking about Curbed's spy shots from within the Hearst Building in New York.

Or, another;
"Another interesting entry in the ridey.net webserver logs reveals that somebody at the US State Department (in particular, sherman.state.gov - isn't it quaint how they name their servers after old generals and presidents? we've also been visited by buchanan.state.gov) spent about two minutes perusing this weblog. They arrived via a Google search for "Bush's Bad Science", and I'm quite proud that we come third in the results, just behind the Washington Post, thanks to an item I had posted about an article in the Nation written by Robert F Kennedy Jr. The State Department visitor also read this item, which was about their boss."

"A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."
-Thomas Jefferson



Against the Grain of Indoctrination
As a young child, with my lunch sack tucked into my coat, every morning, my mother bid me farewell as I dutifully left for a school to be indoctrinated by the techniques of repetition, and the memorization of facts.
Every morning, we recited the pledge of allegiance, which imprinted the credo and intent of "with liberty and justice for all". Every month, we would take on a fetal position beneath our desks in a "drill" in the event of an atomic attack from those who, we were told, had as their stated goal, the destruction of liberty and justice.
The Soviet Union, we were told was the was an example of a state embodied as a theology which destroyed those who, as Jefferson said; "..will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."
In every progressive grade, in increasingly complex examples, we were "tested" on our memorization and indoctrination in a hundred fold examples of liberty, which when conjoined to thought, had created the circumstances that brought forth an Samuel Adams ,a Thomas Paine,or a Jefferson, who as leaders presented their fellows with a radical idea that individual liberty supersedes that of the state. In an era in which perpetual and permanent telephone intercepts, internet drilling and compendiums of unfavorables are kept on file, Mr Jefferson, should he reappear in this climate would be identified as an enemy of The State. That is more than a sobering consideration.


In this now vanished world of my youth and of grade school, some teachers, though rare in their departure from the texts, would provide an experience rather than an exercise. A introspective and disheveled Mr Koch had me read Edward Arlington Robinson's 'Miniver Cheevy" in front of my classmates. This one experience instilled within me, a life long love of poetry that continues. The ever manic and enthusiastic Mr Adelman had me arrange and argue the argument of states rights on behalf of the Confederacy in front of my classmates which reinforced my acknowledgment that democracy as it's founders brought forth from The Age of Enlightenment, is a government not dogmatic by theology, not by the force of a King, but by Reason.


"However, it also discloses two things that have never been disclosed before. First, they have found patterns in those sightings. They wanted to go on studying before any kind of scientific panel was convened. So they were telling the CIA to stop this top secret meeting of the five scientists. Now, when I read this, I almost fell from my chair. I mean, who were these people nobody had ever heard of before? They were actually telling the CIA to stop this top secret meeting of the five leading physicists in the land. Then they, went on saying that they wanted to discuss what could and could not be told to those scientists. Now, from a, if you will, from a historical point of view or from a ufological point of view, that may or my not be significant. From a scientific point of view, it's amazing, I mean, science relies on the ability of researchers to get the data and if there is somebody who is in the background telling agencies of a government what can and cannot be told to the scientists who are hired to make an assessment of the potential threat to the security of the country; I mean, this is... this is extraordinary."
-Jacques Vallee Transcript of Interview 21st Century Radio

I am one example of potentially millions who have gained from the exceptions to the common rule of rote learning, by those individuals who determined and practiced that learning is the ability and fostering of those abilities to ask important questions, not the repetition of dogma
Ask yourself this most important question; What does the state fear in the freedom of expression? Secondly, how has the most primary of our founding fathers reasons in rebellion and then establishment of a governance by individuals protected in their exercise of liberty..how does this now become an act of sedition defined by the actions of the state to supersede as Jefferson observed; "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."

"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."
-George Orwell


A Legal Opinion From The Author of The Constitution
A note to those who would destroy our founding principals and who may be watching you as you come and go from this site,here is some reading material for the benefit of those who assume that they are our hidden masters. Remember it well:

"[The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1813. ME 19:197

"Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429

"I consider the source of authority with us to be the Nation. Their will, declared through its proper organ, is valid till revoked by their will declared through its proper organ again also." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792. ME 8:301

"Independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Ritchie, 1820. ME 15:298

"What government [a nation] can bear depends not on the state of science, however exalted, in a select band of enlightened men, but on the condition of the general mind." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1817. (*) ME 15:114

"The government of a nation may be usurped by the forcible intrusion of an individual into the throne. But to conquer its will so as to rest the right on that, the only legitimate basis, requires long acquiescence and cessation of all opposition." --Thomas Jefferson to ----, 1825. ME 16:127

IThe Bill of Rights has been superceded. We are in the midst, not of a deception of the State but, we as it's rightful owners, have deceived ourselves.Until recently that was true of this writer. For others,it was evident.

On Board A Runaway Train


'It’s also truth that the U.S. in the modern world is the center of control and as such is really the center of repression over a lot of global media. Americans have a hard time understanding this because we all grew up thinking certain things about our country, but this isn’t the past. This is 2007. We’re in a different world. Other countries in fact can be expected to be pushing the envelope far more than the U.S. government. I think that what’s happening with the U.S. government is that it is firmly under the control of certain transnational corporations and very wealthy interests. They’ve gotten their hooks into matters here and they’re not going to let go easily. So if there is going to be change then it could very well come from elsewhere, from other countries. I definitely do not see any voluntary disclosure on the part of the U.S. government."
-Richard Dolan An Interview with Richard Dolan by Brent Raynes

This ham fisted attempt to destroy the basis of our liberty is a epitaph for the country my family fought for, as well as for the pursuit of truth. Those whom were entrusted and sworn with the preserving and defending of individual liberty as the foundational reason for the existance of their employer, are the agents of forces spinning wildly in the free fall of our constitutional principals which are applied against it's own people.


"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
-Abraham Lincoln

This actor does not worry about such things as law or revolution as he is subtle, he does not shout or threaten, he whispers in your ear. He does not announce himself and hand you his business card. No,he deserves much more credit than that. He influences from afar, he utilizes stooges and pawns. He pays well. He notes weakness, he notes the texture and intent of your words and weighs them. He bides his time, collecting, analyzing, disseminating every word you transmit from your thoughts, every phrase. When the moment arrives he is certainly wants to be prepared for an occasion which may arise and require a quick response, a management of crisis or more darkly, a quick clean up of these factoids. Who is who and what is what. File them. Sort them. Assign designations, routings and numbers.Vertical integration and local cooperation is the key. It reminds me of another time, another place..mass movements..synthetic migrations...required identifications...it was very efficient. But of course, these sort of things happen to others, not to us. But back to my original question as it concerns this site. Why was it targeted?


In a democracy, there could be no justification for a national containment of undesirables, without the process of law, without the right to an attorney and the right to know what the charges are.
Right, sort of similar to domestic spying, is it not?

"It astonishes me to find... [that so many] of our countrymen... should be contented to live under a system which leaves to their governors the power of taking from them the trial by jury in civil cases, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce, the habeas corpus laws, and of yoking them with a standing army. This is a degeneracy in the principles of liberty... which I [would not have expected for at least] four centuries." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1788. (*) FE 5:3

I cannot provide you with a more pressing and relevant topic than this.This is not speculative, this is not an intellectual exercise, nor an entertainment.
This is your life.

The Kursk and An Unidentified Submarine Object


On Saturday, August 12,2000 the giant Russian nuclear submarine Kursk -- carrying a crew of 118 -- sank in the waters of the Barents Sea, after what Russian officials described as a "catastrophe that developed at lightning speed." At the time the Itar-Tass news agency said that the nuclear-powered Russian submarine Kursk reported it had hit an unidentified object underwater. TRIA news agency, at the time, quoted the Northern Fleet press office as saying the crew was not in danger and that the question of abandoning the stricken vessel had not been raised. ''The Russian Northern Fleet command said, "They did not rule out that the foreign submarine was also damaged and was now not far from the Kursk.' A top Russian navy commander stated that SOS signals from a foreign submarine were recorded when the Kursk, was sinking.The commander of the Russian Northern Fleet, Vyacheslav Popov, is reported to have told a newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta that the signals had been picked up by a navy cruiser Peter the Great.Laboratory analysis showed the signals had been emitted by a foreign submarine near the Kursk, which he said added to evidence that the disaster had been caused by a collision. But he added that the real reason behind the accident would only become clear once the submarine had been raised. US Navy spokeswoman said, that a US Navy ship "Loyal," that routinely gathers underwater acoustical data, was about 250 miles away from the Russian submarine when it went down, which eliminated the possibility that this was the unidentified object referred to in the RIA report. The ship was there by coincidence and had nothing to do with the Russian submarine or subsequent rescue efforts." Two US submarines were also in the general area but there was no indication they were involved.More on this later.

The first meeting of the Russian Governmental commission was held on August 17 in the evening. At the same time the official version of disaster was declared. After more precise definition of August 19 and 20 it looked like the first reasons for tragedy was a strong "dynamic external impact" corresponding with "first event" at 11:29. Probably it was the collision with a foreign (?) submarine (by displacement not less than 10,000 t, and moving at a speed about 10 kn.).After the meeting it was announced that the survey during the recovery operation has produced new evidence, including a videotape of a dent in the "Kursk" hull and lines scratched on the fore part of the Kursk body, as if it had collided with some object. He did not rule out that an object on the sea surface could deal the blow.However this seems unlikely as well as the other theories of collision with a WW2 era mine or some unidentified ice breaker with a reinforced hull. Owing to large and fast entry of water in the bow compartments, the submarine hit the seabed with a down trim at high speed. This resulted in detonation of weapons in 1-st compartment ("second event" at 11:31). During the rapid development of the catastrophe, it was understood that most of the crew in most of the compartments, except 2-3 at the stern, has perished during first minutes of disaster. During TV-interview August 21, Russian Minister of Defence, announced three pieces of information (without any documentary proofs): 1) about 200 m near the KURSK's bow were detected foreign matters, presumably, fragments of conning tower of foreign submarine (Norwegian divers declared that they, at least, did not see anything like it). 2) In the morning of August 13 on the seabed near the KURSK was detected one more objects of similar dimensions. 3) The buoys of foreign colouring, green and white, were spotted also (but they were not found later).
This begs the question what is documentary proof or for that matter use of that term when they cannot be produced? Or, was the "proof", a ruse to deflect that they knew they had no proof and yet if this was so, what was the unidentified object?
This must have prompted a very testy, stressful and unscheduled drill of crisis management at the kremlin. I think the hapless "Marlboro Man" in the middle was reflecting perhaps a lateral career move to Siberia was a possibility.



To make matters worse, according to Ilya Klebanov and deputy Head of Northern Shipping Route Administration A. Ushakov, there were no civil vessels in exercises area, which eliminated yet another possibility.

The 5-day search in the area of accident by Mirs submersibles provided Russians with no evidence that the Kursk collided with a foreign submarine.
The submersibles spent around 96 hours all together underwater in search for such evidence, having surveyed around five square kilometres of the seabed around the Kursk.

So, what sank the Kursk?

Komsomolskaya Pravda reported on June 20, 2002 that;

"THE KURSK MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED. ON JUNE 29, THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION INTO THE SUBMARINE SINKING WILL PRESENT A REPORT ON THE EXAMINATION AND ITS RESULTS. HOWEVER, IT IS ALREADY KNOWN THAT THE SUBMARINE WAS DESTROYED BY THE DETONATION OF A 650-MILLIMETER TORPEDO ON BOARD.
There is no longer any Kursk mystery - and there never was There is no more mystery about the Kursk submarine sinking. Because there never was.Yesterday, the governmental commission confirmed the conclusions of our investigation: the submarine sank due to the explosion of a large torpedo on board."

If so, one recalls that Itar-Tass news agency stated that Kursk reported it had hit an unidentified object underwater. What happened to the reported fragments, the hull damage,the videotape of a dent in the "Kursk" hull and lines scratched on the fore part of the Kursk body, as if it had collided with some object? Why was the detonation stated to be a "secondary event?"

Suddenly, case closed, at least it was for public consumption.


However,there was evidence to the contrary which confirmed in an independent manner, there was a collision. The sounds were recorded by seismograph in Norway.The first seismic trace from Norway showed the main explosion from what appears to be a torpedo warhead, and preceding it by two minutes, another smaller event. Although labeled as an explosion, the waveform is not that of an explosive event but a long grinding sound,which adds further substantiation as to what the Russians were stating earlier but then it was absent from the official public pronouncements as to the cause of the sinking, while the evidence demonstrated that there was a collision first, then a detonation.
Out of nowhere, suddenly the public was provided with yet another explanation which was planted in the media.

Source: Independent News (UK) EXCERPTED
Published: September 15 2000 Author: Patrick Cockburn

A misdirected missile from a Russian cruiser caused the disaster of the Kursk nuclear powered submarine during a training exercise, says a member of a Russian parliamentary team investigating the disaster.

Sergei Zhikov, a deputy and a former submariner, said yesterday that the Kursk and the Peter the Great, a Russian cruiser, were on an exercise in the Barents Sea in which "the cruiser acted as an enemy aircraft carrier and the submarine was expected to attack it". He said the Peter the Great fired five anti-submarine missiles at the Kursk but only four could be found afterwards. "It looks like the submarine was hit by the missing [anti-submarine] missile," Mr Zhikov told the Interfax newsagency.The Kursk then tried to rise to the surface in an emergency but had hit the bottom of the Peter the Great. The cause of the sinking of the Kursk and the death of its 118 crew is an episode that President Vladimir Putin wants to put behind him. The Kremlin now says that nobody survived the initial explosion and that tapping sounds from inside the hull, which the Russian navy said showed that some sailors were alive 48 hours after the disaster, were made by automatic machinery. The claim by Mr Zhikov is similar to a report in the Berliner Zeitung newspaper last week, which said that an investigation by the Russian Federal Security Service had concluded that the Kursk had been sunk by a Granit missile fired by the Peter the Great. It said that the Granit had travelled 12 miles underwater before exploding close to the Kursk. Russian officers have hotly denied that the Kursk could have been sunk by one of their own ships, but have been unable to explain exactly what happened. The Pentagon said that there were two explosions in the vicinity of the Kursk at 7.28am and 7.30am on 12 August. The second was 45 to 50 times bigger than the first, suggesting that one or more of the Kursk's own torpedoes had exploded.That appears to be confirmed by the extent of the damage to the forward part of the submarine, but the cause of the first explosion is still remains unknown.

Another small detail..the Russians understandably do not carry live warheads in an exercise. The use of such a weapon would have produced a trace on the sonar records of the US ship that was spying on the exercise. In the case of torpedos, both for the Russian and US, the training torpedos are designed only to get to within a certain distance of the target then surface to be recovered. Training torpedos do not hit their targets. How could or more importantly why would Sergei Zhikov, a former submariner, fabricate such a hoax?

Other facts emerged The rescue buoy was not released. The escape capsule was not used.The submarine has a large hole along the right side in the forward sections. Scratch marks extend to the fin, which also has some impact damage. The fin never touched the seabed. Large pieces of the sub's hull are scattered across the seabed, as well as having left a long trail on the seabed. All the external masts and the periscope were extended. These systems are extended only when the sub is surfaced, surfacing, or traveling at the periscope depth of about 10 meters. Prior to dives all masts are retracted inside the hull. This is done even during an rapid emergency diving. The inclination of the planes at a inclination of over 60 degrees starboard indicates the breach of the high pressure air and ballast tanks on the same ship side at the beginning of the plunge, which have caused automatic shut down of the two ship's reactors, because they could not operate at that tilt. It would appear the Kursk was on the surface, not submerged. But then again, why did it report hitting an unidentified object, unless the object was encountered during an emergency dive, but then again,, why were the masts and scope extended?
One thing is certain, the impact was extremely sudden. If the Kursk was surfaced why did it fail to detect and identify this object?

In the final written report, the official Russian government commission determined that the sub sank because of a explosion onboard. The cause of the explosion was likely to be a collision with an unidentified massive external body with approximate displacement of 7,000-8,000 metric tons traveling at over 6 knots (faster than "Kursk") at the depth of 20-25 meters. The impact was at a 20-30-degree angle between the velocity vectors of "Kursk" and the unidentified external object. Russian media reports related that the unidentified object, which hit "Kursk" was attempting to steer away to the left and down from the Russian submarine in the last moments before the collision.
What is interesting in this for those who are familiar with the UFO phenomenon, is there is always the psychology of The Answer Man, or in the plural who make a profession of pronouncements founded on their addiction to seeking approval of worth by others. Being contrary to ordinary certainly draws a crowd;

From The Austrialian:

US Torpedoed Kursk Nuclear Sub
Daniel Stacey, London | May 09, 2005

A FORMER British military official has backed a sensational claim that the Russian nuclear submarine, the Kursk, was torpedoed by US forces in August 2000.
An official inquest concluded that the disaster – in which all 118 crew drowned in the Barents Sea, 135km off the Russian coast – was caused by an accidental explosion of an onboard torpedo.But Maurice Stradling, a former torpedo engineer and a key figure in the original investigation, believes a new French documentary, The Kursk: A Submarine in Troubled Waters, should change world opinion on the sinking.
"On the balance of probabilities, the Kursk was sunk by an American MK-48 torpedo," said Mr Stradling, formerly a senior member of the British Defence Ministry.



This photograph was taken by A Russian satellite of the Norwegian naval base Haakonsvern on the August, 19,2000 and is used by ships up to frigate class,interestingly but not for for submarines.What the photograph revealed was a nuclear submarine of the Los Angeles class has come into Haakonsvern and moored in the piers close to a frigate. There have been unsubstantiated reports that this submarine as well as possibly another arrived there for emergency repairs.

The docking of this submarine, especially a nuclear one at that, at a base that does not accommodate it is odd but again, there are no verifiable reports that I am aware of that indicates repairs were undertaken. It is difficult to imagine if this were so, the Russians would fail to launch a major uproar. Instead the official finding remains just that and the unidentified object also remains unidentified.


Whether it was a USO or another submarine which caused this tragedy, I don't know, but the strangeness of this incident is provocative and can certainly be stamped "unsolved." Note: Since the time this was publishes, a new theory has emerged in relation to the type of outmoded ammonia propellant utilized by the Russians. I am not persuaded.

Emotional States and Extra Sensory Perception

"Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not."-William James

"The most distant roots of Emotional intelligence can be traced back to Darwin’s early work on the importance of emotional expression for survival and adaptation.
In the 1900's, even though traditional definitions of intelligence emphasized cognitive aspects such as memory and problem-solving, several influential researchers in the intelligence field of study had begun to recognize the importance of the non-cognitive aspects. For instance, as early as 1920, E. L. Thorndike at Columbia University, used the term social intelligence to describe the skill of understanding and managing other people."
-From Emotional Intelligence Wikipedia


More Questions Than Answers
Is there a correlation and linkage between the ESP phenomenon,the phantasms of ghosts, and communication between pets and their owners? Is there a common denominator? Throughout our lives, our emotions track a parallel path alongside thought. Perhaps they are one and the same.
I don't know. However, there seems to be an unspoken perception rooted in that most mysterious phenomenon we call emotion within ourselves. As a student of reality as manifested in relationships, it is provocative. Especially in the context of our organic capability to create a higher grade energy from a lower grade source.
Think of a salad and then reflect on your capability to produce emotions as well as perhaps experiences are also food to be digested by another human organ that is personality. Perhaps the quality of our diet is based upon perceptual emotions, and, of course, our amphibious nature between the intangible and tangible allows us unique potential opportunities. However we must consider that in all likelihood we are more attached to our "pet corns" than any of us care to admit.

Perceptual Emotion and Behavior
Emotion and perception are co-joined as a stick with two ends. One emotional state or position is passive and the other is active.The two combine to create a third,the aggegate sum akin to a bandwidth that in of itself is a form of communication.
This possibility is one that has enormous potential and the object of this post is to share what has led me to my current course of interest and experimentation, which, at a later date, may prove to a dead end. Even so, its an interesting dead end.
Called "the heart" in it's intangible version, many consider this quality of ourselves the most mysterious of our faculties. This, in spiritual technical terms is what is called a station(1),that both receives and transmits according to its position in relation to a nested heirarchy, which Dr John Lilly observed and termed a transceiving capability.
On one end of this stick, there is emotion as a reactive set of autonomic biases based on a lack of coherent perception toward ones many preferences. Some you encounter you may either have an affinity toward, while, at the same time, others irritate you.
In this spectrum, this modality precedes communication which influences our conceptual nature which transforms this emotional predisposition into behavior within a reciprocal exchange between our senses and our state of bias, how we react either in attraction or repulsion to what we encounter. Some judge food by color. Some by a tactile sense. Some by smell. Perhaps we can consider this a case of influencing suggestion by how we define our perceptions. Also, we cannot discount the influence of one station of behavioral emotion when either attracted or repelled or neutralised by another whether it is in the laboratory or on the street. The perception of emotion as it effects behavior at times, seems to drive logic.


As Dr Sidris and William James went back and forth on this very issue of metaphysical versus physical with auto suggestion thrown into the mix, in all probability, they were both correct. GI Gurdjieff would conclude nobody is home, which leads us back to William James, who famously asked "Does Consciousness Exist?" Perhaps it does by how we conceptualise it by our own behavior then also perhaps as GI Gurdjieff observed, this may not be an objective stance as "the study of human psychology is the study of abnormal psychology."

"In our society, mainly concerned with production and efficiency, the drama is that our capacity for questioning, still so vivid in early childhood, is very quickly eradicated or pushed aside for the benefit of our capacity for answering. When a child has a real question, most of the time he is imme- diately given a stupid answer. In the best cases the educator goes to the dictionary to be sure his answer is accurate. But anyhow unconsciously, if not proudly, he closes the question. From school to the end of our life it is always necessary to answer. We are compelled to learn how to answer. If we don't know how to answer, we are just no good. So little by little we become some kind of model machine able-to-answer-to-all-situations with all the necessary blindness as regards its own contradictions. That kind of answering, whose degree of sophistication may sometimes hide from us its conditioned character, is required by our life. But under its dominating necessity, is it possible to keep alive in ourselves our most authentic and precious capacity, which is questioning?”

Parasympathetic Empathy
On the delimiting side of this stick, positioned away from an empirical utility, is a perceptual emotion that is transpersonal and for most, must be developed in order to transform this potential into a another sensory organ, one that is positioned between it's organic and inorganic capabilities. One fascinating area for future research is the formation of empathy in children as a precursor to this form of perception.Some are imprinted with this capability by the relationships they define within themselves by defining themselves by observation
There are many others as well. Another example appears in two forms. One is a natural disposition toward animals and on the other end, a reflection of this attribute in the object of empathy the reversal of reception in the capability of animals to anticipate the various human states of their "owners." When one considers the organic instability of the emotional spectrum one may have a reason to expect that the full potential range of this perception cannot be activated as if one is moving one's foot. A lack of recognition toward nuance and subtlety is a bane to research.
However, there is another facet, which is a developed conceptual sense of a trans personal potential and receptivity toward "moving the foot" by a developed set of beliefs which have an emotional component. When receptive emotional empathy is harnessed to a conceptualised model of anticipation defined by a integration of intellectual, emotional and instinctual paradigms, the potential of possibility is perhaps reflected back in a neo quantum event that can be, as Dr Lilly termed,
be "transceived".

Emotional Perceptions of Cellular Memory
On the organic side of this triad, we can see evidence of this organic portion of this relationship by what we we call cellular memory, for lack of a better term. In Nexus Magazine, we can read an online version of a provocative paper entitled 'Organ Transplants and Cellular Memories' which covers cases of "patients who have received transplanted organs, particularly hearts, it is not uncommon for memories, behaviours, preferences and habits associated with the donor to be transferred to the recipient."
Here is the link: http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/CellularMemories.html
What is striking in this facet of a phenomenon again is preserving choices based on an individuated set of emotional correlations just as in the example of "emotional perception" which in turn creates a bias..."liking" this or "disliking" that.
Are we referring to a subatomic process? Here we go again. Protons anyone?

Emotional Imprinting On Materiality.
Most of us are familiar with the faint tracings of a phenomenon known as "ghost" activity which appears to be manifested in a locale where extraordinary emotional trauma, such as murder, unexpected death, unresolved conflicts and anger which are often historically connected to events which have anchored as residual memories, as if an associative semi-autonomous set of preserved reactions has been separated as if they were discarded remnants of a processing program called "personality" that is ghosting like a reactive cellular memory, on materiality. The reason I wrote "semi-autonomous" is that they appear to be confined to where they are left. I some spiritual teachings they refer to a discarding of personality as it is defined by an interaction between inner and outer realities.(2) This imprinting certainly is provocative if one considers the traces that can be viewed using infrared imaging equipment.

"Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual."
-J Kirshnamurti

In the next post on this topic, sympathetic magic, the emotional linkage and wear and tear on "mediums", as well as looking at the "pitch" of emotion; IE: low voice= low energy and our reactions to music are among the facets of this relationship, as well as the study of Chakra theory


Appendix
(1)THE ELEMENTS OF SUFISM By: Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri: "We need to distinguish between the two terms: state and station. It is the difference between how it is and where it's at. State means something which one can feel or taste. One can sometimes feel an inner state of incredible generosity or great upliftment. However this state may not be lasting. What is really desired by the seeker is to attain a station which cannot occur unless it is properly founded and secure. A station is not temporary and can always be relied upon and recalled. Most of the wayfarers on the path of God will taste different states to varying degrees of lasting without any permanence in them, which is unsatisfactory and insufficient. It is for this reason that a guiding hand is needed to ensure that a seeker becomes established in a desirable station. So the companionship and relating to people who are on the path is an essential factor in a seeker's progress. Another important reason for having the right companionship is that we are always a product of the last moment, and since this moment is born from the previous moment and that from the one before it, and so on, there is continuity. A person on his own cannot realize how much he has deviated from the path of self-knowledge or self-realization."
(2) There are countless examples wherein the predominate paradigm of "life after death" critically assumes that "personality" is not a process but a discrete entity in of itself and survives death. However, my own thinking is that this is a defacto position in that the vast majority cannot find another more fitting candidate. Terms like "essence" ..potentiality..non local observation..reflect a short hand terminology that substitutes knowledge with place marker which tend to be mistaken and infinitely altered in a flux of meaning and value by one's subjective emotional perception.

Once Upon The Eltanin Object

"What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment."
-George Kelly



Once upon a time,the USNS Eltanin, was engineered as an ice breaking cargo ship,while launched and acquired by the US Navy in 1957 as such, it was subsequently reclassified as an Oceanographic Research Vessel for the National Science Foundation in 1962, Notably,it became the world's first Antarctic research ship. Eltamin was conducting a uneventful surveillance sweep off the coast of South America. It was equipped with photographic equipment designed specifically for deep oceanic photography. At a depth of 13,500 feet(4115 metres) at a latitude of 59 degrees 08' south and a longitude of 105 degrees 00'west the crew on the Eitanin photographed an anomalous submerged object.
While organic nature follows a symmetry of form, the symmetrical nature of this object is striking as well as the fact it consists of a central mass, most likely hmade of a metal or some other rigid material, which allows it's vertical positioning above the sea floor for the alignment of an array of seven to eight horizontal extensions of equal length, also apparently rigid, that, in turn position unknown devices akin to protuberances at the end of each.
These objects, one each, at the end of each extension, are apparently intentioned to be positioned roughly 15 degrees from one another.
This object has been termed an artifact when it appears to be more likely, a precision engineered device. To accurately position in location and orientation as well as securely anchor this object, would require the execution of several tasks, each required to complete this installation, at a considerable depth.
It appears a reasonable guess that this is a device intentionally engineered,positioned and secured to provide a utility for it's creators. This, based upon what we do know regarding the visual similarities of terrestrial devices, perhaps the HARP array corresponds to this configuration.



However, on the other hand, the aforementioned engineering of such an object by Great Natures capability to organically materialise such an object, which is also strikingly similar to the object of our interest, is perhaps an apt example of where the study of anomalous objects meets human psychology inasmuch we anticipate according to the bias of our conceptual models as applied to our additive craving to confirm the objects of our desire. However, there is yet another psychological factor in this horse race. Upon noting the similarity of this object it's closest visual match as produced by nature, it was similarly and immediately announced that this similarity was conclusive evidence that, in of itself, "proved" that it was not manufactured. As having a family relation who was a homicide detective in a major city, we intermittently discussed the nature of evidence as applied to the reasonable probability that one of several possibilities of suspects was the correct choice. This is the nature of a line up of suspects who happen to be located in a unreachable marine environment. The deepest diving U.S. submarine, the DSRV Alvin, can descend to 4,500 meters depth.



The "logic" of the intellect when isolated or viewed as the sole required medium to determine material reality is a fallible device. We instinctively, as a remnant of survival behavior, abhor a vacuum in our knowledge. On the other hand, the gift of imagination is a two sided sword as well. While it allows us to envision in the absence of our sensate recognition, it can also be mistaken as much as in the example of the intellect. The paranormal targets and navigates the cartography of this blind spot in our cognition, with precision. We are left huddling around the proverbial campfire. At the onset of odd, unrecognised calls, the unaccountable rustling of the undergrowth, we either discount what we cannot understand or build upon our repertoire of fear. Only a few venture beyond what we can survey with impunity and go forth into the unknown in an exploratory venture of risk. The irony of this is not unknown to those of us who recognise that what the Eltanin photographed is still unidentified, unless we have another methodology, another choice beyond A or B whilst both camps around the fire deride our efforts. They are the less for this. Over the course of time, the subtlety, the nuance, of the unrecognised, the paranormal, the anomalous will glide effortlessly between these two camps, which clutch their preferences as talismans against the affront of simply acknowledging one does not know. The greater irony in this is the potential that the odd sounds, the comings and goings beyond their refuge portend an ill effect upon them. The pathology of control is a unspoken prayer to those who hide in it's guise by professing absolute certainty, as well as those who prefer to imagine that they know. The UFO Theory in politics is uncertainty, as the unexpected turn, the unanticipated twist of fate.
There is no Ufology, what there is are the coagulated remains of an unkept promise to ourselves, that manifests in dime store paperbacks, tabloid antidotes and the cyclic nature of gossip as a science.
Somewhere up there in the stars we observe, there are those who paid a price for their courage and curiosity who look down upon us now, their legacy squandered, their science tarnished and their tenacity misconstrued.
Those of you who have come here to witness my self doubt, my vain attempts to grasp this phenomenon with worn out tools, I am speaking to those of you I know for a fact that have come here to watch, from NASA, U.S Navy Network Communication Center, Emerson Electric,Northrup Grumman Corporation, Shell information Technology,U.S Oceangraphic Command Center,Lockheed Martin, Motorola and Boeing, this is a great entertainment is it not? Why the interest in a speculation upon a Cetacean Humanoid?
Your silence speaks volumes. Oh,I see this morning that Sandia National Laboratories stopped by as well.
You as in a aggregate collection of enormous capabilty, have a greater opportunity than I or my fellows.Standing in stealth, on the sidelines, around the campfire, may be a self comforting form of interest but don't rationalise that others, like myself carry your water in public for their fellow man as a defacto act of concern on your behalf.
If you don't know, say so.If you do know, we are grow old by our swinging in the breeze of your public stance of professed or enforced ambivalence toward the subject at hand.
Perhaps its time we all move on from our respective positions, myself included, as this would provide an opportunity to catch up and spend some time with an old friend.


See you on the river. Mr Twain and myself.... well......We'll save you a chair.

Extra Dimensional Dreams, Influence and Processing.

In The Memory of Boris Sidis, Ph.D., M.D.

"In the province of the mind what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experimentally as well as experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. However, in the province of the body there are definite limits not to be transcended."
-Dr John Lilly




More Questions Than Answers

"The hypnoidal state precedes and succeeds sleep."
Dr Boris Sidris An Experimental Study Of Sleep

One of the most tragic ironies that occur over the passage of time is that some of the most courageous and prodigal geniuses who probe realty, make discoveries and create theories that predate their acceptance in a distant future they will never experience. Nikola Tesla comes to mind. They are forgotten, unrecognised and become ghosts which haunt the unclaimed territories they had discovered.

Dr Boris Sidis was one such person who discovered by experimentation, the connection between suggestibility and waking consciousness. In Gurdjieff's words, the study of psychology is the study of abnormal psychology. When William James, one of the founders of psychology, published "Does Consciousness Exist?, Sidis published a response,which makes for an interesting read. http://sidis.net/fnapapp1.htm
What is also an facet of Dr Sidris's work is his study of a filtering mechanism of necessity that acts as a judicious chancellor, who weighs the import of the subconscious against the functioning imperative of the conceptual, consensus reality we inhabit to a great deal, however it seeps through like water through shale.

The recognition of this skewed suggestive and semi-hypnotic influence on perception, makes one consider that if this is so in our waking state, then in a dream state, perhaps if an external agency could delve even deeper into this state, as in the case of the abduction phenomenon and it's cousin the vivid dream, and beyond, the extra dimensional dream, we are but passive receptacles akin to puppets under the influence of suggestion, meaning that, in the truest sense, do not exist beyond the reactive behavior stimulated by influence. Are we but a single receptor as if one were merely a single portion of a global aggregate, a sympathetic nervous system nested in a larger hierarchy? Meaning, value and effective behavior are perhaps a triad that is a more specific and esoteric definition of a well known purpose. The end result being a process of integration that leads to a potentiality of "On Earth, as it is in heaven." This is not a free floating game of associations in one sense, it is a science perhaps. If you doubt this, follow this link;

http://www.sufienneagram.com/overview.html

"There is nothing closer to you than yourself. If you don't know your self, how will you know others? You might say, "I know myself," but you are mistaken.... The only thing you know about your self is your physical appearance. The only thing you know about your inside (batin, your unconscious) is that when you are hungry you eat, when you are angry, you fight, and when you are consumed by passion, you make love. In this regard you are equal to any animal. You have to seek the reality within yourself.... What are you? Where have you come from and where are you going. What is your role in the world? Why have you been created? Where does your happiness life? If you would like to know yourself, you should know that you are created by two things. One is your body and your outer appearance (zahir) which you can see with your eyes. The other is your inner forces (batin). This is the part you cannot see, but you can know with your insight. The reality of your existence is in your inwardness (batin, unconscious). Everything is a servant of your inward heart."
-Al Ghazalli

If the mind is a reflection of a non local point of observation,as some physicists suggest, that we, as sentient creations occupy a unique position between worlds, we ask; Does communication from an external agency within the dream state occur? One considers this in the light of the work of our good Dr Sidris, is this an attempt to do an end run around our tendency to be pulled by consensus reality as if it were a phenomenological gravity field? Let's yank it the other way? If so, does it require a unique physiology of biochemistry? Is there a purpose? If so, what is it? These are some of the questions I have asked myself. This post is a recounting of my own experiences and the next describes my attempts to process and integrate this phenomenon.

Provocations

There are what I term extra dimensional dreams, which combine the clarity of vivid dreams with real time sensate inputs, especially keen body awareness, refined control of vision, speech and touch. As an example of this level of refinement,you are aware of squinting when exposed to a bright light. You feel warmth and cold, wind, etc.
Waking from such a dream is extremely abrupt when compared to a run of the mill dream cycle which is gently progressive in its fading and transition to waking consciousness.You instanaeously wake in a split second, eyes wide open. There is an immediate dissociating sense akin to being stunned physically as well as having or being two places at once in a clear cognition of bi locality. There is a alarming and chilling, recognition that what you have experienced is literally impossible, which is disorientingly upsetting. Your body is extremely rigid and stiff, and is somewhat irritating to move, as if your muscles have atrophied. You feel as if a heartless trick has been played upon you as you can neither share this experience nor provide proof of it either to yourself or others that you were both here and there.
You play a game of devil's advocate with yourself and you are aware you must not lose your sense of context. For several days you experience daily life with a sense of dislocation which you bury out of necessity. You tell your wife and no one else. She is open-minded but much to your relief is a skeptical counterweight. A grounding yet indirect participant. She is used to this by now and grudgingly accepts it.


Then there is the mother of all differentiation in the classifications catalog of dreams that no amount of self serving dithering will obscure, which haunts you....there were choices, free will of one's own volition to participate or not.
You chose on several occasions not to proceed, only to be returned to be in the same place and given the same choice once again. No one forced you. This is a play of sophistication which bides it's time with patience. However, free will has its limits, you did not choose to be invited into this game in the first place.
From whence does it arise?

While rare in occurrence,you are keenly aware that you will never know when it will occur. When they do, you have some very real trepidation afterward, of falling asleep, of losing control. You read books at night to get your mind off of this potential.You have to sleep.

A Game of Chess

You always awake on a pathway, whether it is a tunnel, a road or a field or a structure. Human nature does not allow for standing in place for prolonged periods of time. You resist movement, the temptation to explore, to make what is a pathway by the decision to move forward. If you do you will participate in this game.You acknowledge to yourself this is a created situation in which lacks subtlety inasmuch you feel like a laboratory animal. An equal proportion of fear and anger is with you. You demonstrate a sense of self pity, of this cruel injustice. The response is silence. Then it dawns upon you. If you do not move forward, perhaps you are trapped here. It is what it is, no more, no less...your move. What's your decision?


Try this on for size. Pick a location and stand there for a minute. Look around you. What if what you see and where you are are absolutely foreign to you?
This is a game of metaphysical chess. Its your move.

Extra Dimensional Dream Experience As An Influence

You awake on your hands and knees upon the sidewall of a dark cylinder lit in a faint light which is some distance ahead of you. You feel gravity pulling from behind. So you logically assume by experience that you must be located in a vertical structure.
However you see the dim silhouette of someone else, also on their hands and knees, roughly fifty feet from your location. He doesn't see you. After what seems like an eternity which is afew moments, he makes a decision to stand up. He laughs "Look at this this is crazy, I can stand up!" After a subdued jig, he begins walking to the source of light. He's playing this game. You do not want to remain there so you follow and feel as though you are the subject of a cattle drive.

You follow him and find others, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and speaking among themselves. They look at you with the same pity they reserve for themselves. They have nothing to say because we are all in a significant state of disoriented paranoia mixed with inescapable awe. Deja Vue ensues in me whilst observing the scene. If you want to experience this for yourself, you can. Go to a classroom on the first day of kinder garden and observe children. That was our little group.

The question we discuss is why we are here. Theories abound. We are in a dream. We are dead. We have been abducted by aliens.Then the topic changes. Are we prisoners? The lady with the blonde hair becomes indignant. "What do you think?..of course we are...!"

We don't like this topic. Topic changes again. I miss my children. I miss my wife. Now we feel instantly relived there's someone else to talk to.

I am impatient with talk now, and so I decide to do the obvious. I congratulate myself that this idea has occurred to me. I walk toward the glass windows to look out. Everyone notices this and follows me.


What we see is a supernaturally beautiful light that seemingly has empathy and sentience that illuminates or rather permeates the most vividly lush forest landscape I have ever been privileged to look upon.
Topic change again. Oohs and ahhhs. Unbelievable. This is beautiful. We must be in heaven. That means we are dead. Silence, We gathered there at that window, quiet,in the thrall of this place, whatever and where ever it was, we were no longer in the grip of anxiety in the anticipation of being either marooned or prisoners.

Just at that moment, a woman quietly and gracefully entered our room and asked us to gather by her. She was middle aged, but had white hair pulled back that fell along her back. She was dressed in a white cowl with some sort of blue tunic over it. She had penetrating empathetic,irradiating blue eyes that I will never forget. I cannot discuss what we spoke about simply because I lack the courage to do so. In essence, we were told that we were there to be taught. We would return home. We would come back again. One day, we will have to go on a journey for five days. One guy in a rumpled business suit blurted out; "Can we tell our families?" Yes. of course.

We departed one by one, but I hesitated and went back to the window. She approached me and came very close in front of me. I was emotionally overwhelmed and compulsively asked, 'Mother, tell me something that is true.." She took her hand and drew me closer by pulling me closer by a gentle grasp of the back of my neck.She wanted me to pay attention to her words.

"There was once a young nun in training in a cloistered convent. It was a fast and no one was allowed to eat. Another young novice into the kitchen to take some food because she was hungry. The Mother Superior was told there was food missing. She called all the young novices together and demanded to know who had taken the food. I knew who did. I lied and told her it was me."

I awoke with the fierce volition of a rifle bullet.

I have no idea to this day who this woman was as to either her identity or purpose, or role. I have tried in vain thinking perhaps she is a saint to locate her in some historical biography. Not being a Catholic was a disadvantage, but then I thought why would she necessarily be Catholic?

In short, I gave up long ago, any attempt in trying to verify anything about her, to somehow prove to my own skepticism, this was something I could test. Right.

In other extra dimensional dreams I was guided through not one but several heavens each existing for the conceptual basis that the dead had created as a defining attribute toward themselves. The dead became what they loved.

On the first visit was the locus of the sense of occupation, of place, of
family, of unresolved longing which was their dream transposed upon our existence as ghosts.

On the second visit, was a locus of activity akin to but not corresponding to a enormous mall, the pursuit of art, the gathering of books, the browsing of a infinite library and museum, in endlessly conversing crowds and groups and yet, they had no sense of the strangeness of this existence.

On the third visit, I saw seriously the disturbed, the angry, the shouting, the calamity of tortured souls each followed in dialog by what appeared to be attendants
assisting their rampant confusion into an integrated effort to heal them.

What all of these extra dimensional dreams had in common, was that all these individuals regardless of their domain, as it were, was generously supported according to their own self conception in a locality, whilst each was given an opportunity regardless of their state of location,by their own efforts,to progress.
Perhaps the afterlife is a continuation of process, not an end goal wherein we sit around and sip mint julips having congradulated ourselves...on what?
These experiences began to radically transform the meanings, values and behaviors I positioned in relation toward my life.
In another series, I was presented with a neighborhood wherein there was an old park with a gravel pathway winding behind some trees. On the second visit, I followed it up to a hill and saw two gate pillars on either side. On the third, I was there again. I chose not to enter. On the fourth, I entered and walked down the other side of a hill and saw a distant village. I chose not to continue. Each time I was returned to the same locale and the same set of choices.

Processing and Integration of Impossibility

I have asked myself many times as to the value, influence and purpose of these experiences. I have processed them in the background like a subroutine of a larger view. Did I create them or were they created outside of myself and presented to me in a recognisable form? Or, is it that both are true? Or, none?


In a future post, I will share some preliminary theories I have arranged toward integrating these experiences in a positive light, rather than becoming hopelessly conflicted. My main consideration in writing this is the possibility that I am not alone in this apparrent maze.

I also successfully thwarted their continuance, at least that's what I tell myself when I am whistling past the graveyard

Part Three: Cetacean Humanoids of The Depths

Dedicated In Memory of Ivan Sanderson.




Is this image that of a terrestrial cetacean humanoid or a phantasm or a projection of ourselves or a sentient extraterrestrial?

Which is more likely, traversing the vast stellar distances between stars hoping for a 'hit" or, navigating the ocean floor?

The classic alleged phantasm or sentient humanoid irritatingly nicknamed The Grey, has always fascinated me as an object of speculation in terms of sensate anatomy inasmuch as hearing or receiving sound in an atmosphere would require some sort of ear, however they appear, on the surface, to be absent, which is rather odd regardless as whatever gaseous atmosphere they require would carry sensate sound to be received by an appropriate organ akin to our own. Yet, they are absent, or are they?
If their natural enviromental medium is a liquid, perhaps this accounts for their apparent absence. Then again, perhaps not. However, it is provocative as one portion of constructing a speculative possibility as a medium to explore possibilities. Is this Grey a branch of an evolutionary tree that has vanished beneath depths of the ocean, only to resurface when threatened by extinction? When I first viewed this photograph of a dolphin ear, I was struck by the visual kinship of similarity to a "Grey."


One asks; Are Dolphins and Humans descendants of a common ancestor, rather than the theory that makes the critical assumption of the "ape" as a sole actor within the dynamic of evolution?
Recent research seems to indicate the connection between humanoids and cetaceans will eventually replace or at minimum, significantly revise the "ape" theory.
If so, perhaps to speculate upon another variant of nature which may be genetically linked to our own aquatic phase, which is said to have occurred possibly between 3 and 7 million years ago is an interesting scenario.
A potential linkage between the sonics of aquatic images as a form of communication and the terrestrial cymatics in the form of the symbolics within the pictographs of formulations known as "crop circles" may exist.
When taken in the light of the USO phenomenon, this creates a theoretical basis for speculation upon a sentient creature that spans cryptozoology and ufology in the sense that it uses a technological extension of it's organic senses in the same sense that I use a laptop to produce these images that are transmitted to and received by you. A Cetacean humanoid may use others.
In this case the images transposed in a terrestrial form to communicate with us, their atmospheric cousins with sound as a predominate feature or perhaps more accurately, a source of energy capable of manipulating imaging materials with ultrasonic waveforms as in the pictograms in crop circles. Or, is there some other means to produce them to the degree of precision that some examples manifest, given a unreasonably finite amount of time to produce them?


What is interesting is that the human brain operates at a range well below that of hypersonic sound waves,and the effects of exposure to inaudible high frequencies was previously thought or shall we say assumed to be non-existant.
Our cousins, the dolphins are capable of a 8 - 200 kHz range. The human mind operates between 3-13hz. The previous assumption that these hypersonic waves have no effect has recently been revised by new research that does indicate significant effects as covered in detail in The Journal of Neurophysiology in a study entitled "Inaudible High-Frequency Sounds Affect Brain Activity: Hypersonic Effect"
Results in other newly published studies suggest that the intensity of inaudible HFC modulates human sound perception as well as effects that "inhibit the para-sympathetic nervous system." which is responsible for the lowering of our heart rates and "when sufficiently intense, appears to result in a syndrome involving manifestations of nausea, headache, tinnitus, pain, dizziness, and fatigue." which is a uncanny close match to the after effects of an abduction event. We can only wonder what other results further research will bring to light.

Another striking set of speculative connections between ourselves and dolphins are the dolphin's organic capabilities to transmit images in real time as their "language" and the internal manifestation of images in remote viewing within ourselves. This capability we already have as a process we experience nightly in "dreams". Perhaps dreaming is a intermediate evolutionary capabilty that manifests images as self referential representations which lack the input of further organic receptivity.
Considering that we have a much shorter evolutionary history, the rare ability of remote viewing may be an advanced example at the cutting edge of evolutionary human potential, while a dolphin may consider this experience as mundane.
By extension we look in our mirror to The Grey and consider their capability to walk through walls as well as alleged telepathic capability as their sole means of communication. This brings to mind the possibility that they are present only in our cognition as a received projection that has been presented within us as a receiver by their organic capability to induce holographic experiences. Or, they actually walk through walls. Your choice. Abductions as I have covered in other posts are similar to an induction of state and interestingly, that modality of communicating conceptually in images is what the cetaceans use among themselves.

All of this considers the possibility that what comes out of the oceanic waters as a UFO is in fact, the product of a highly evolved mammal akin to that of a dolphin with humanoid characteristics.

In the arcane science of Legominisms, the conceptual encapsulation in the creation of the Tritons, the Merrow, Selkies and the Sirens all have, as their nexus, an amphibious creature much like the one observed for two hours by the Naturalist George Stellar in 1741, who, for lack of any comparative accuracy coined the pseudo referential name,"Sea Ape.", which one imagines to be a sentient humanoid adapted to an aquatic enviroment.

Our Naturalist having encountered one in the Northern Pacific, south of the Aleutian Islands, noted it had a asymmetric tail like that of a shark incorporated into a formulation of a aquatic humanoid. This observation was theorised as having been mistaken for a Sirenia, one of many such herbivorous mammal whose natural environment encompasses rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands. However, there are no such creatures known to inhabit those waters.

Of the 70 known sightings of these elusive creatures, 52 have been sighted in environments where there are no candidates for factoring in the probability of mistaken identity. In addition, this attempt to overlay the classification of pinnipeds upon our mystery humanoid has one glaring error, they lack arms. However it is interesting to note that like our aforementioned dolphin, the "sea cow" is also a mammal. This in of itself launches us into the conceptual hyperspace of psychological associations and identifications that trigger us like fish caught in a net by language.

As in Ufology, within cryptozoology, ad hoc proper nouns and terms take on a life of their own, often creating barriers or the projection of archetypes which then evolve into a bizarre defacto and self referential reality. Greys, Skunk Apes, Drones, Mothman are a plague upon us. I really struggled with how to term a speculation, which in of itself, is counterintuitive.

"Our words have not and cannot have any constant meaning, and to indicate at every word the meaning and the particular shade which we at­tach to this word, that is, the relations in which it is taken by us, we have in the first place no means; and secondly we do not aim at this; on the contrary, we invariably wish to estab­lish our constant meaning for a word and to take it always in that sense, which is obviously impossible, as one and the same word used at different times and in various relations has differ­ent meanings." -GI Gurdjieff

Of course, then we ask ourselves, where in all of lies the root of origin that predated this enigmatic creature? In the case of the Nummo, one author felt that these creatures are, in effect explorers who exploit the lessened gravitational forces that water provides, inasmuch as they are a aquatic species who have migrated
here from the stellar region of Sirius, as outlined in the remarkable and provocative Dogon mythology which had somehow gained in it's corpus, astronomical data that we only recently have discovered.

Theories abound in the realm where the truth is hidden in plain sight, or at least is considered a possibility.

"Anthropologists are not certain when hominids quit growing thick fur, or why they developed an opposable thumb and the "S-curve" of the spine for upright bipedality. I have a novel concept, an hypothesis, that may account for the upright bipedality and the bare skin of Homo sapiens. Of course, the reasons of their development is meaningless concerning the cause and course of latter developments. There is a group of monkeys that is currently undergoing the change to bipedality; an occurrence that I have noticed but many others have not. They live near a permanent water hole, calm river, or estuary. The trees that grow near the pond drop fruit into the water, especially when the monkeys are shaking the limbs of the tree as they climb for the fruit. Once the monkeys have cleaned the tree of fruit, the ones that can wade farthest into the water and retrieve fruit will eat more and have a better chance of survival. Wading is a bipedal activity. The farther one of the monkeys can wade, the more protection they gain from predators that will not swim for game. When accidentally falling into the water from the fruit tree, upright bipedality increases the monkey's ability to get out of the water. I wonder if baby chimpanzees can swim in the manner that infant Humans do? The ability to walk upright and greater manual dexterity allows them to gather more food, avoid predators, and survive drowning. Considering hippos, elephants, and other amphibious mammals, I imagine that fur would be a hindrance for life in and out of the water, and it was eventually lost by the small pongid as it evolved upright bipedality in its aquatic environment."

Maybe we should reverse course entirely based on the evidence as well as a series of assumptions of equal value that we stood on the shore of the sea, while others, sought their fortunes in the ocean.. Mounting evidence suggests that human's are more closely related to dolphins, far more than they are related to apes, if you've studied the latest scientific research, you would be impressed. Genetic research into the genetics of dolphins have just begun. Monkeys wading into the water? Perhaps.

There is an influx of research that indicates humans, dolphins, and apes evolved from a common ancestor.There are studies comparing humans and cetaceans (dolphins and whales). These studies focus on the similarities of the brain, especially the neocortex. In this regard the cetacean brain is nearly identical, and superior to the human brain according to the latest research. It is now common knowledge that research into the skeletal structure of Cetaceans shows vestiges of toes (fingers?) and dewclaws . These evolved into powerful flippers and tails, indicating that dolphins and whales once lived on the land.

In the studies of Dr. Michel Odent - world famous surgeon and pioneer into human water births - dolphins, humans and apes are likely to have evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago.One of the most noticeable differences between human and ape is the lack of hair. However, consider the gray, hairless skin of the dolphin. Did I say grey?

One wonders if this theory is a shadow image of some path we cannot traverse as perhaps something similar but more fully fleshed toward George Stellars sighting of a "sea ape" may have happened in the dim light of the past. Another factor in all this, which is all the rage, in the babble between Creationists and Evolutionists which presents the issue of vestigial mammalian gills and tails found in the early developmental stages of a human foetus, albeit in a silly escapade akin to a twice told tale.

Another factor that swirls in this whirlpool of artifacts, observations, theories which includes our disjointed and incomplete evolutionary matrix, is the provocative enigma that ufology and cryptozoology commonly faces is the resolute determination of their target to remain at arms length. However, perhaps if we are sharing this planetary sphere with another species, the content of such alleged contacts may have a more practical and less altuistic perspective.

"Mr. Mutwa and the children were both distressed by their experiences. But they also spoke spontaneously of receiving powerful communications from the alien beings, especially through their huge black eyes, about the failure of our species to take proper care of the earth. This unsolicited information is quite consistent with what I have been learning from American experiencers. A recently interviewed geologist and abduction experiencer wrote me that his experiences have taught him that "We are a run-away species bent on self-destruction, because we (collectively) are unwilling to impose self controls to stop our growth and to plan for our future with forethought and higher purpose" (Bruce Cornet, letter to the author, December 1994)."

First human-caused dolphin extinction reported
Aug. 11, 2007
World Science staff

Sci­en­tists this week re­ported the first hu­man-caused ex­tinc­tion of a dol­phin.
The fresh­wa­ter Yang­tze Riv­er dol­phin, al­so known as baiji, seems to be no more, re­search­ers said. The an­i­mal in­hab­it­ed the mid­dle and low­er Yang­tze Riv­er and neigh­bour­ing Qiantang Riv­er in east­ern Chi­na. It “has long been rec­og­nized as one of the world’s rar­est and most threat­ened mam­mal spe­cies,” wrote Sam­u­el T. Tur­vey of the Zo­o­log­i­cal So­ci­e­ty of Lon­don and col­leagues in the Aug. 7 on­line is­sue of the re­search jour­nal Bi­ol­o­gy Let­ters.

When I read this, and as I type this, I am disgusted, frustrated and angry.

Each year as many as 50,000 species disappear and this rate is rapidly increasing. I think it reasonable to consider that any unknown species worth it's salt has every reason to avoid us.
Others sense that this tact of avoidance by our prey, in of itself, "proves" that we are chasing a Chimera.
We may be chasing a projection that has been intentionally foisted into the range of our vision, in it's hydra headed manifestations as an emblematic lure of a transpersonal and transcendant nature. This object of fixation is intended for a target who is addicted to empirical and materialist physics, which, as we all know, is destroying the very organic nature it is composed of. What is more frightening, is that this chilling recognition has become just another obscure sidebar on page 15, lost in the media deluge of trivia.
I began all this as the kid in the theater rooting for Godzilla, thinking to myself,I hope he kicks their ass. And so it goes.
If USO is a vehicle, and the vehicle's occupants are members of a species who call the waters of the ocean home, then why do they not have fins? Perhaps at one point in time they did. We are all a work in process, a potentiality. The evolution of a oceanic society and the technological path of such a society must remain as we found it, out of reach as to produce more grist to mill.
We mine the facets of the unexplainable and the speculation upon the variations of shooting arrows into the sky, hoping against hope, we can hit the target. In a sense, perhaps this quest of holy fools reserves a portion of wonder for the future.

If you want to read all three posts on this subject, go to the Home Page, then scroll down the page.Part One covers USO phenomenon in general terms. Part Two covers interspecies communications.

As for me, I will be writing the next post which will explore recently discovered astronomical anomalies in regard to the evolution of our planet in the near term. Perhaps it will not be the end of our planet but our celestial basis of the calendar may require a serious revision. Then again, perhaps not.

Part Two: A Dialect of Energy: Breaking The Sound Barrier

"Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals: talking snakes, and birds, and fish; and about people who try to communicate with them.
John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank. And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically. And one of the questions the whale kept asking was: do all oceans have walls?

You know, I've always thought that one of the most serious defects of the human body was that you couldn't close your ears. You can't point them anywhere or close them, they just sort of hang there on the sides of your head. But an acupuncturist explained to me that the pressure points in the ears are very important because the whole body is represented right there in the ear. The ears, he said, are vestigial fetuses, little versions of yourself, one male and one female, and he showed me here's the lobe, that's the miniature upside down head, and this curve here is the spine, and right here are the little genitals, and that was when I went back to wearing hats.'

-Laurie Anderson 'John Lilly' from 'The Ugly One With The Jewels'


Unfortunately, I underestimated the amount of exposition this topic requires. It is always a challenge to condense and edit the material in this blog so it does not become a veritable encyclopedia on the subject and, on the other hand, to provide enough information as to make the topic faintly comprehensible. And so, there must be three parts to this series. Having admitted my own ongoing fallibility, in the previous post, I began to convey the work of Dr Lilly in the context of alternate modes of communication as they may apply both to interspecies communication as well as our respective difficulties of translation.
Perhaps, under our noses, this is occurring in some manner, while we are far from developing a dialog. In the Newtonian sense, for the purpose of illustrating this situation,communication is like a ping pong game, back and forth, the ball of sound shuttles cojoined between the players.


Recently I returned to reflect on the passive "listening" concept behind SETI.
I thought to myself, if I want to play ping pong, how successful will I be in achieving my goal of having a game if I wait for the statistical probabilities resulting in these random factors; A. some person to come by B. A person who intuitively knows I want to play without my announcing this by making it known C. Knows ping pong. Then consider I want to find a player on Alpha Centuri as I sit on my lawn chair. What if they don't like ping pong? Hmmm...maybe I should begin actively pursuing making this known first locally....if I am in a alien country like France, Do I go out onto the roadway waving a ping pong mallet shouting ping pong! ping pong!If I chose to pursue this, perhaps it would work better once I am released from the psychiatric facility. I might have saved myself a great deal of tragicomedy if I held up a picture of two people playing ping pong and pointed to myself.
Is there a common, universal language shared throughout our universe as well as in the ocean depths?


The reciprocal exchange of energy within our own solar system and beyond could be viewed from several perspectives.
One of which is that each planet orbiting around our sun as well as the aggregate system could be likened to that of a living creature of nature with a unique subset of ecology's and yet perhaps all share a common language much like that of the aforementioned dolphin, in that while it can be heard, it would be quite a challenge to transliterate.
Each planet one might say, represents a unique evolutionary stage of development. These lifeforms we call the planets have a harmonic relationship in this exchange of energy.
In their orbital paths in relation both to one another and all in relation to the sun, reflected energy in the form of light creates a dynamic symphony within a spectrum of living musical harmonics in this reciprocal dialog between them. Take a moment and let's overhear what they are conveying to one another courtesy of the NASA Inspire VLF receiver at Spaceweather.com before moving further and closer to the surface of our own planetary sphere.

Then we have the dual sonic waveforms propagated as a visualisation in the language of the dolphins. Let's listen to this dialog as well and compare it to our earlier example in the interstellar VLF band.

http://www.dosits.org/gallery/marinemm/10.htm

One of the advantages of ultra-sonic sound, as opposed to the sound that we can hear - is that the tiny wavelengths of these high frequencies can penetrate into and reflect off of the smallest crevice and contour, echoing a sound profile of minute detail. These sounds can even be used to probe soft tissues, reflecting the differences between bone, flesh and blood. Our physicians use this feature to gently explore the contents of a mother's womb to determine the health and identity of her child.
Dr John Lilly studied dolphins to determine how they communicated the structure of their complex community to each other -how they were able to coordinate advanced hunting and play strategies, often a high speeds He spent 18 years performing repetitive routines with them; recording all of their sounds in an attempt to learn their vocabulary. Not once in that time did they repeat a sound phrase at least a phrase they were not asked to repeat. In other words, if you are transmitting images in real time they would not be repeated as there is no requirement to "spell out,"as in this side scan sonar image.


We know now that not all communication requires a symbolic vocabulary - that many deeper messages are embedded in the tone of a voice or the turn of a phrase. But the degree of accuracy conveyed in dolphin communication indicates the possibility of an astounding form of communication - communication through sonic holograms. Another advantage is the astonishing speed this modality demonstrates when we compare it to the written or spoken word. Consider the range that they are capable of communicating these images within and it makes remote viewing look like a near sighted gypsy reading tea leaves. Now we have to take into account memory, in other words, if you know the sound signature of an stereotyped image and transmit this image, you may find what Ms.Hawkins has discovered.

"Liz Hawkins, of the Whale Research Centre in Australia, spent three years listening to bottlenose dolphins living off the west coast of the country and recorded a total of 1,647 whistles from 51 different pods of dolphins. From the starting frequency of the sound, its duration and its end frequency, she identified 186 different whistle types, of which 20 were particularly common.She told New Scientist: "This communication is highly complex, and it is contextual, so in a sense it could be termed a language."
-London Daily Telegraph "Scientists Identify The Language of Dolphins"

We also know through the study of cymatics, the energy we cannot hear from a sensate platform can be translated into visual images as Galileo discovered; "As I was scraping a brass plate with a sharp iron chisel in order to remove some spots from it and was running the chisel rather rapidly over it, I once or twice, during many strokes, heard the plate emit a rather strong and clear whistling sound: on looking at the plate more carefully, I noticed a long row of fine streaks parallel and equidistant from one another. Scraping with the chisel over and over again, I noticed that it was only when the plate emitted this hissing noise that any marks were left upon it; when the scraping was not accompanied by this sibilant note there was not the least trace of such marks."
Here is a cymatic "alphabet" that can be arranged using letters that are in essence, energy.


We return once more to the images in the report of the good ship MS Dione and consider them perhaps in a different light.


If we look at a cymatic effect, the results are striking, even in a coffee cup.



Then again, when we look at the transliteration of energy=sound=image as in the aforementioned example of dolphin language, we seem to have the possibility of a commonality lurking in the background of a potential for interspecies communication, which the late Dr Gerald Hawkins made the focus of his studies using the mathematics of the Diatonic Scale of sound. In simpler terms we are in another related modality, sound as music as a visual image.

Diatonic Scale-In music theory, a diatonic scale (from the Greek διατονικος, meaning "[progressing] through tones", also known as the heptatonia prima and set form 7-35) is a seven-note musical scale comprising five whole-tone and two half-tone steps, in which the half-steps are maximally separated. Thus between each of the two half-steps lie either two or three whole-steps, with the pattern repeating at the octave. The term diatonic originally referred to the diatonic genus, one of the three genera of the ancient Greeks.
-Wikipedia

And pray tell, what on earth is the three genera? It is a spectrum of energy.
Those various divisions are what determine the different genera (plural of genus - the actual Greek word is genos, but commentators writing in English generally use the Latin form). There were 3 basic genera: Diatonic (= 'thru tones'), Chromatic (= 'colored' or 'thru the shades'), and Enharmonic (= 'properly attuned').

So if energy translated in the language of sound create a three dimensional images in this phenomenon occurring in dolphins, as theorised by Dr Lilly, can we see it demonstrated to us directly rather than through the conceptual language of the written word? Whether we communicate through atmosphere or water, there is one universal tongue....the image.



What is also interesting to turn over in our minds, is the relationship between biological evolution and the parallel path of evolving technology as an extension of the senses by which each species communicate to one another either in close range or at a distance. More specifically,in relation to this concept,are the interesting long human pathways of translation as compared to the dolphin, some of which are extremely subtle.

Human Path:
1 and 2. You want to communicate. Now before you even derive words to arrange your composition internally, Kirshnamurti made some compelling arguments that awareness or more accurately consciousness precedes the translation to thought so there may be two steps prior to the initiation of communication.
3. You convert thought to the movement of atmosphere through your lungs and tongue.
4. Intonation that we could consider as a carrier wave. It isnt what you say its how you say it. This in of itself is music. I don't suggest this experiment with your significant other. Try listening to a conversation in musical terms. Don't listen to words alone. After awhile you will pick up on unintended communication as to a state, IE: Low modulation=low energy, etc.
5. Our vibratory pitches and modulation is converted to an electrical matrix as in a cell phone.
6. This is then transmitted by microwave.
7. The microwave transmission is received andrelayed and then returned to electrical impulses.
8. The electrical impulse is converted to the appropriate range to move an atmosphere.
9. This sensory imput is received by the ear and from the ear to the brain.
10. The mind translates the sounds into a common language as well as notes the modality.

We have not yet even begun to explore the differences in communication that are divided between knowledge and a state of being. Ideally these should match but in reality, it largely does not. I cannot not provide you with my experience, or a state of being, which places value and effective behavior into interpretation of this mix. Neither can you for me directly, in terms of constructing an effective and immediate efficency of terms. To put it simply, knowledge is knowledge. If there is no match between players, then this also has to be translated.
Now consider that there are 6,700 differing spoken languages that are utilised on our planet.
The old "Take me to your leader" routine is reductionism at it's finest
form...surrealism.

What if we "spoke" in images? When one considers the long evolutionary path of the dolphin to our own comparatively brief term, perhaps we should now consider telepathy in a new light, let alone the antedotal accounts of extraterrestrial creatures using this process exclusively. It is difficult to discern the difference between our stereotyped anticipation foisted as a projection upon experience and what actually occurs.


In the last of this series, we explore a evolutionary tale of the moon as it relates to our own, as well as what may lie below the ocean depths and how circumstances on the surface relate to one another in the use of sound as energy from bats to whales to human beings as some mammalian vertibrates go off into the sea by way of metamorphisis and some come out of it the same way. What if one went into the depths of the sea from long ago in an adaptation to a gravitational enviroment that was not condusive to their habitation? More fascinating impossibilities to consider..
For your consideration, I ask, is it possible that an immigration occured in the past of a species which communicates much like the dolphin and yet has limbs? Perhaps. What sort of a planet would this sentient creature originate from in terms of it's enviromental match to our oceans?

"`I ca'n't believe that!' said Alice. `Ca'n't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. `Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.' Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said `one ca'n't believe impossible things.' `I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Perhaps we will all meet again in the future, on the dark side of this looking glass. Bring along your ping pong paddle.
