Thank you for the welcome, AM. I found the following quote very interesting...and have something to say about it, but in keeping with Elizabeth's request, I am going to try to find an appropriate slot for it elsewhere. rose We discussed many topics but our goal was personal enlightenment through wes...

Trickfox I really need to know what you mean by " Semi transparent artificial intelligence". Forgive me. But no matter how many different ways I look at that set of words.... they still make no sense to me. Elizabeth Elizabeth, I can't speak for Trickfox, but I hate to leave your question...

Mikado, I had no idea that the JPK legend extended back so far! Do you have any further insight into it? Trickfox, you said, I've heard you mention "The PowersThat Be" (TPTB) twice Hmmm. Did i? I remember using the term as part of the JPK story. I don't recall the other context, but no mat...

I hope you see this. I saw that Trickfox posted a photo of poppies, in honor of your fallen comrades. That would be a more appropriate spot for this, but i cannot find it now. i hope this will do. For you and for those brave souls who gave their lives to the cause. rose Rothesay remembers 'midget' s...

That was interesting to me, because if asked to free associate on the word consortium , "harmony" and "pairs' would not have come to mind and yet there they are, hidden in plain sight. I keep turning the idea of pairs over...polarity and poles spring to mind. And, as far as harmony, w...

Thanks for the welcome, Radomir and Bill. And for the link, Jim. It filled in the Fuzor information gap nicely. I wonder what ITT did with the Farnsworth patents, and if it looks like Arata's work is going to lend itself to patentable applications, if ITT won't suddenly be jumping back into the oute...

Retrofit of Strike Element is certainly a logical connection, Mikado, but not one that even crossed my mind. That stage of my life is so long ago and far away, that now I'm just an ordinary garden rose. Mark C., i am enjoying the glimpses I have of your own story from the [small percentage of the 1...

Thank you, Navigator! Mo-town music brings back great memories!

I have to run for the afternoon, but look forward to chatting with you in the future!

Thank you, Elizabeth, I'm not quite as far down the hill as the hot springs, although their water comes through the marsh in the oasis here before it drops to the low desert; and we do have a local peacock who gets quite raucous at sunset each day. I've never seen him, but he's impossible to miss. Y...

In an interesting bit of synchronicity, this news item is worth noting: http://newenergytimes.com/news/2008/29img/Arata-Demo.htm OSAKA, JAPAN -- Against a monumental backdrop of bad publicity for cold fusion since 1989, researchers in Japan on May 22 The mastermind behind the demonstration is Yoshia...

The description of the Caroline Group reminds me very much of an organization with which Idries Shah claimed affiliation. It has been a long time since I read it, but I believe the specific information can be found in Journeys with a Sufi Master , by Bashir M. Dervish. Beyond that, my only contribut...

Namaste, y'all. Thanks for the welcome, Elizabeth Helen Drake. (Helen Drake -- as a nod to a character and a place from the book?) Paul, I know you won't see this until you return, but I want to say that you have done a wonderful job with the hugely challenging and complex subjects that are magnetiz...
