This exchange appears to me to be reflective of the limiting "either-or" perspective. We've been working here on this Flow Forum on moving away from a one-sided over-emphasis on only nuts-and-bolts "accepted" scientific theories. But this process needs to work both ways. It doesn...

Possibly the main fear about General Patton was that he might provoke a war in Europe with the Soviets which the U.S. was not prepared to fight.

Mark- I personally doubt that Spirito and Elsey are the same person although, of course, it's possible they interacted. Although Spirito is not an uncommon European name, it's rather an apt assumed name for a "spook" -- although seemingly a bit obvious. My cousin, who was involved in spook...

Further…

The original film’s ending, on a clearly ambiguous note of hope without definite assurance of later avoiding Gort’s “justice,” is superior too, imo.

Mark C. and all, “Klaatu barada nikto,” indeed. Yes, I saw The Day The Earth Stood Still yesterday, 12-12, on its launch date. I shut down my own “lab” for the afternoon. It’s a watchable film, but I think it does have shortcomings compared to the original. The characterization of Klaatu which Micha...

Yes, FM-

I agree.

Griffin

Skyfish & FM- It seems to me that you're getting at the same essential point, and I agree. A further question becomes, FM: What creates the conditions? Perhaps you think it's only individual free will in some sense. I don't think it's so either/or. The Buddha and other unitive realizers have rec...

Skyfish- I like to call this sort of story “Science Fiction-Fact” since it is a mixture of both. Collaboration between the film industry and the “military” on the 1951 film makes sense, if that term is narrowed down to Navy or Naval Intelligence/Research. There’s a good reason why TTB thought so hig...

Interesting link, Kevin-

Townsend Brown is mentioned in Figure 2, labeled as: "Variation Of Townsend Brown Experiment To Test Grad E Effect."

Enjoy, Trickfox- I'm going to let the earth stand still as well for a few hours as I likewise enjoy the movie, in English, in a darkened theater. It's interesting that my website, on which the film will be prominently referenced, should essentially be finished tomorrow. The timing of my website comp...

Hello Linda- There were obviously various forces at play in your father’s life. Who knows why they chose not to tell you about your near-death experience. But now you do know, at a time when there is so much good information about NDEs. That’s why I thought Mikado was being presumptuous asking me to...

Paul-

I sent you the Corso references by PM.

Griffin

Skyfish-

Your link provides scientific reinforcement, imo, for the existence of an ancient traditional method of promoting interdimensional contact with higher beings through the use of focused sunlight and gold.

As ever,

Griffin

Skyfish- Thank you for another good find. It's of general interest here on the Flow Forum, but it's also of particular interest to me in my research. I have to deal with it in context, but you'll probably eventually see it referenced in my book. I liked the mention of the "wiggles" -- it's...

Mr. Twigsnapper-

I believe the various connections have become clear in my mind. Now I have to continue to clearly explain them all in writing.
