Chat GPT: Did Edward Teller ever meet Nikola Tesla? There is no widely documented evidence to suggest that Edward Teller, the Hungarian-American theoretical physicist known for his work on the hydrogen bomb, ever met Nikola Tesla, the renowned inventor and electrical engineer. Tesla's lifetime overl...

I think this is what I'm looking for: http://www.stealthskater.com/Documents/Beckwith_02.pdf It's still on the Interwebs but I've downloaded a copy to my own local drives just in case. The money quote (he says with a snort): This 45-page overview (also available for $20 in hardcover) states that the...

OK, so.... "Beckwith" rings a bell but... it's been a minute. My vague recollection from The Before Times is that was referred to or sent a .pdf file of something Robert Beckwith had published. If I did, I have a copy of it .... somewhere. It's not turning up yet. What did turn up is this ...

I have a variation on that old chestnut:

All things in moderation,
Including excess.

And here's the 'vintage postcard' image of the Swazey Observatory that I found on the Interwebs and used in the book: . 10-SwaseyObservatory.jpg . I don't think it was an all-that-powerful telescope, but one imagines the sky in that vicinity was dark relative to how it appears to day, so there would...

Once come through the portal, there is a temptation to think that you have found the key that unlocks the magic puzzle. Then you turn the key, and all the puzzle pieces turn to dust in your hand. And then you pick up a brush and start sweeping the dust to see what sort of patterns it forms. There is...

. Jeez Nate, that's a LOT to drill into. I'm intrigued to see that letter from TTB 1971, recounting the origins of NICAP. FWIW, His posts on the formation of NICAP are of course interesting because of their Townsend Brown content. One name I've heard before is Nicholas de Rochefort ( though there's ...

Damn, Nate. That's a lot. But gets to the heart of several matters that too often swirl unformed in my own head, like some gaseous cloud star cluster... I will probably have to read this one several times, and ponder 🤔 at considerable length to see if the several things you've touched on here can gi...

There's something there beyond us, I'm sure of it. Not beyond us. Within us. As Liz Gilbert says in the second Epigram that opens the book: . Screenshot 2023-12-07 at 6.29.49 AM.png . That "supreme intelligence" dwells .... in the Infinite Field. Amen. Now, please pass the collection plat...

So I finally stumbled on what appears to be an original 1985 edition of "The Antigravity Handbook" by David Hatcher Childress. ....Yes, the book itself is a pile of unfiltered craziness. What interests me most in all this the impression this particular subcommunity had of Townsend Brown -...

As The Astrologer says, "We are all popes in our own religion." LOL. I did not see that before posting that last crack about a "New Religion." Smart man, that Astrologer. --P P.S. It occurs to me that we've got a whole new theme running here that has nothing to do with the topic...

Thanks for all that, Nate. Very interesting stuff to try to follow. And this was an excellent note to land on: ... the idea of a big mostly-invisible living universe that we can interact with somewhat weakly (and through our minds more than our bodies, but sometimes through both)... that resonates w...

"This is an organizational nightmare, "

Ya think?

BTW, I downloaded a PDF of the linked site (which I'm pretty sure I've seen before) in case it disappears.

. Thanks, Nate, for pointing this out: A deliberately biological term borrowed to describe an electrical phenomenon. Also, I didn't realise it was so late! Townsend Brown was already 22 when electrical plasma was named. Hmm. I've been thinking of late – in a very abstract, formless way – about the i...

I found a copy of The Morning of the Magicians on line yesterday, and skimmed it again. That book has been on the radar for years. I've downloaded that .pdf to my iPad and will take a closer look... I also added the paperback to my Amazon cart. I think that one warrants a hard copy. Everything in i...
