    Thank you for your post NancyV, I both enjoyed it and agree with the bulk of. I hope you will pardon my exception to the following.

    Quote Posted by NancyV (here)
    Occasional flashes of telepathy, which I often experience, are exciting and fun, but how awful would it be to have FULL telepathy and know exactly what everyone was thinking! People would hate each other much more than they do now and we would all KNOW how petty our thoughts and the thoughts of others actually are at almost all times(1). Lies are a necessity that allow people to more easily work together and they certainly keep many marriages together that would otherwise fail. Telepathy could lead to more fighting, more hate, more wars.

    I admit it would be interesting to see how humanity adapts to telepathy and evolves but it might be filled with many bloody battles and a lot of deaths. IF we developed telepathy we would also have to have huge amounts of empathy and ethics to go along with it(2). I don't see that happening but of course anything is possible.
    (1) I fail to see how this could be a bad thing. I for one feel it is high time that individuals recognize the pettiness of their thoughts and actions. Whether by comparison or personal inventory, I see nothing lost from an increase in awareness. Any hate that might result is/would-be derived of the individual's (expressing OR receiving) unresolved conflicts and inability to adapt to the previous/current circumstances and adversities.

    I freely/fully contest that lies are a necessity for interaction. My experience suggests that this perception is both a rationale and crutch, in place precisely so that individuals interacting in a social framework are neither required nor inspired to refine their strategies, methods, and standards. When there is no requisite demand for emergence and/or pursuit of higher standards of dispositional conduct, only those who are predisposed to pursue higher standards of dispositional conduct will, while the remainder will content themselves with 'meeting expectations'.

    I further suggest that any friction that might result of the perceptibility of an individual's thoughts is more to do with the degree of maturity of the individual in whom the friction arises. In particular, I am reminded of the subject of tact. On the one hand, a person who is tactful will naturally gravitate towards expressions that avoid aggravating a situation, circumstances, or individuals. On the other hand, a person who is tactless will potentiate a response in those unable to dismiss the apparent tactlessness. This point (tact/tactless) alludes to the question of offense and consequence; Avalon abounds with examples of either type.

    One person can claim that another person's thoughts, words, or ideas are offensive, but the reality is that it is the offended person for whom there is conflict. I'm not about to attempt to excuse unacceptable behavior (violence, etc.) nor allow generalizations to include such, but especially as pertains to thoughts and ideas everyone is entitled to their own disposition and every disposition is obsequent to some form of consequence.

    Consequences that occur within/around the individual are the responsibility of the individual, and I theorize that telepathy would help to bring this idea to the forefront of human interaction. I perceive this is what would necessitate the empathy and ethics (BOTH personal and inter-social) that is mentioned at point (2), which I see as the likely/inevitable result of greater telepathic development en masse.

    Quite simply - I agree, at the outset people would be horrible to one another in response to greater telepathic/psychic development of humanity, but I counter by saying that people are horrible to one another already precisely because instead of an open, honest, and sincere exchange of ideas and thoughts, we have the filtered, 'socialized', and 'culturally acceptable' standard of behaving/interacting; This does an acceptable job of potentiating a minimum threshold of conducive interaction, but entirely avoids ideas of progression, development, and increased capacity.

    Have it select between some visually distinct alternatives.

    Then have the viewer say which alternative was selected,
    One of Courtney's protocols involves 'paired targets', 'chosen to be as different from each other as possible', with some viewers assigned to one, and others to the other (Remote Viewing, p.60). I don't know if this does the job.

    This book has one odd feature: it has a page on Courtney's background in RV that fails to mention Ed Dames by name. Dames is never mentioned in the whole 300 pages. Now why is that?

    There have been variations of this protocol done over the years, at Princeton if memory serves, including some that identified random number targets before the target had been generated. These are somewhere in the classic literature, but I don't recall the text at the moment.
    These experiments remind me of the double slit experiments in quantum mechanics ... in both cases the results run counter to (conventional) intuition, and I'd have to study the protocol in fine detail, both to convince myself that the experiment actually showed what the stated conclusions claimed it showed, and also to understand just how I would have to adjust my intuitions as to "how things worked."

    Summaries for the lay audience, or even conclusions in formal research papers, are notorious for being misleading or for presuming more about "how things work" than the actual experiments demonstrate.

    (But, yes, I do vaguely recall reading of such RV experiments, sometime long ago ... now that you mention it, I'm sure you're right that something that at least claimed to be along these lines was done.)

    Finefeather :

    Quote There is current events and past events...I am not going to deal with future here because there are no fixed or certain future events...even though many probabilities do become true...they are only fixed once they occur. There is also, just to mention it, the fact that moments before we actually do anything we have already thought it. Even a sudden, involuntary movement, which we think is due to our built in nerve system as a protection mechanism is predetermined, by probability...our physical consciousness just cannot realise it.

    Using this snippet of your paragraph .. I beg to differ in my understanding probably from every 'traditional' explanation of 'RV' or 'direct insight' ,

    but I promise not to mislead you faraway from Truth and need to skip over the archaic controversy ( that's based on certain, rather philosophical than practical views ), such as do we live in gnostic ( predictable ) or agnostic ( unpredictable ) Universe .

    Let me explain it this way ..

    Imagine 'closed physical system' . If you throw a ball ( or a particle ) of certain kinetic energy, in certain direction to such relatively closed system , you're able to predict the balls ( particles ) trajectory, the time they shall keep moving , places where they bump to walls etc etc.

    Now to reality ..

    we do not live in closed physical system , relatively , again, and rather practically , we seem to live in semi-open physical system of the Solar system ( with certain predictable trajectories and behaviours of celestial bodies , particle constants etc etc ) .

    The bigger question for astrophysicist ( he can not answer ) would be , is all Universe finite - therefor, even potentially predictable or is it not .

    Since cosmology ever existed , our ancient ancestors could only balance somewhere between the 2 core views .. either the Universe - with its space-time is linear or non-linear, it maybe closed loop of space-time ..with definite though close to infinite measures or it's not .

    Practically though ... very few people in history were known to exhibit 'omniscience' and therefor , we maintain the view of life in semi-open physical system .
    In simple terms, even if Universe IS predictable we are ( and always will be ) too small to count in everything .

    On the other hand .. practically ... we maintain certain level of gnosis based on empirical understanding of life that makes 'predictability' possible ,
    and that's where I'm coming in with my view .

    Everything as we know it exists in chain of causes and consequences . There's no 'stable state' of matters , change is constant nevertheless whatever we perceive as 'presence' is sequence of the 'past' so also any 'future' is logical outcome of the past and presence .
    Is it predictable ? Yes, to some degree , without doubt .

    Whatever has form .. was once formless and to the formless state it shall return , we call this 'creation and dissolution' . The binding forces between fields, energies and particles are logical and predictable part of physical Universe .

    Whether we call ourselves simple 'observers' or 'scientists' , our knowledge of causes and consequences , states and behaviours of physical fields, elemental forces and so forth remains substantial factor to our ability to see both to the past and to the future .

    Even if this sounds very 'remote' from current discussion ... it's by recognising causes and consequences .. how we understand past, presence and future.

    Let me give you one more example ... if you watch group of children playing in shallow swimming pool, as an adult standing nearby .. and watch them attentively .. the probability is high that you 'see' what's going on. If someone gets 'accidentally' under water , you can jump in and pull them out .
    From the children's view point , the swimming pool is big .. it's a world .. full of unknowns .
    In their short hand sense of awareness .. time slips by , without being noticed .. only you as an adult know when there'll be time for dinner . For them there's interactive game going on, adventure, they're creating their own reality .

    As an attentive adult .. you see what the game is and where it's heading to.


    In comparison to the Universe of course WE ARE the children . We are engaged in the game , in most cases, too much , to sit quietly and observe what's going on.. in the Stars, in the World , in Human society, in Ourselves alone . But if we do, and those who do ..
    can see things 'as they are' , without intervening in the process , can see their time , and what's the most probable outcome .

    Our biological intelligence can function as 'super-computers' if it is in relatively 'steady state' . Is it able to predict all future or see all past ? No way . But some of it, you could say ..the skeleton of events ... yes , it can .

    It also explains the number of mistakes occurring ... and the very impossibility of any 'training' to achieve perfect results as a matter of process .

    Reality is process of its own .. from very hard core point of view ..it has but one version and that's we commonly like to call 'the truth' .

    Speculations about reality are as numerous as unpredictable as human minds ... exponentially greater in numbers beyond the Reality itself , people engage in irrational thoughts and behaviours all the time but ... compared to the Reality, their irrationality itself displays only minor fluctuation around the Reality Line of Events .

    Training of anything - be it RV - is imaginary process of circumferential value .. so its own interaction with Reality Line of Events occurs in points and dots only .



    Sorry for the number of dots ...

    Shezbeth, I love that you are optimistic about the potential of humans to adapt to and benefit from telepathy! I used to be more optimistic than I am now. It is not that I have become pessimistic but more so that I think I am accepting it's okay if probably the vast majority of humans are ignorant, fearful, easily offended and generally motivated by desires for power/money/control. These are probably part of our natural survival traits and instincts, so rather difficult to overcome.

    If we had telepathy along with merging with another, we would likely not be offended because we would completely understand the other person's entire life and conditioning. But if we could just read their minds or hear their thoughts without understanding and experiencing the person, I'm pretty sure we would dislike much of what we heard.

    Of course I hope that you are correct and I am totally wrong! I would like to think that humanity could handle truth without reacting with violence or fear and loathing. Looking at history doesn't give me any encouragement that humans will suddenly become loving, understanding and accepting. Human history, past, present and probably future, is filled with wars, lots of violence and killings and continual battles for power and control. I think this place is a very valuable training ground where the conditions can be very harsh. There is much to be learned from adversity. I don't see any reason why this place SHOULD evolve into a dimension of peace and love when some other dimensions already have that in abundance.

    On an individual level one could live a life of peace and love and want to help others attain that state. I personally have enjoyed all aspects of life, many years of peace and many years of chaos and intensity. If I wanted a state of constant bliss and love I sure wouldn't have come here to this earth to participate as a human! We, as Source, created this creation for whatever reason. Maybe we got bored with constant bliss and oneness and wanted the variety of adversity. We sure succeeded as this place is full of good and evil and everything in between.

    You may possibly be seeing others in the light of your own reflection. You are obviously a very intelligent, rational and good person. I was shocked for a very long time that others didn't behave in ways I thought were rational, honorable, or kind. I still have to try to not judge others by what I would do, how I would react or by the hopes I have for them to act in some way that I think is good. There are a LOT of very hostile, self serving and nasty people out there....a lot more than most of us would like to think there are.

    Many of the nicest people with what look like wonderful motives for their missions in life have turned out to be liars, cheaters, fraudsters and/or control freaks. I am no longer surprised about anyone who leads a life of lies, to others or to himself. Our lies to ourselves may even be the most important ones for ego survival and survival of the persona we think we are while here.

    The way I see it is we live within an illusion and the persona we think is who we are is also an illusion. Telepathy can lead to shattering that illusion. Why even have a world or dimension of duality once one begins to merge with other aspects of self and finds out that we are all one? I think part of being here is to forget that we are one and believe we are separate. Telepathy is at least a beginning of realizing that we are not separate.

    But however humanity evolves or devolves it has been and will be fun to see and experience it!

    The arrival of Superconsciousness will make it impossible for people to hide from themselves...and each other. Once people FINALLY see themselves and each other as they are, the game of duality is essentially over...yes, there will be a transitory period, but the fighting as it witnessed and experienced today will quickly become a thing of the past. I for one am looking forward to the end of lies, deceit, manipulation, gossip and the like...how about you?

    No doubt this 'event' has drawn attention. It had mine. Obviously it still has!

    So - a lot is said and much is conceived and argued, much of it erudite, concise, eloquent, reasonable and logical. Discussion is all very well.

    Particularly Jackovesk (here), GuyFox (here) and Gripreaper (here) have touched a resonant chord in me with their contributions to the discussion.

    The more we 'lose' ourSelves in the train of concepts arising as a reflection/distortion of What-Is - the more we engage, react and invest on impulse - the easier it is for the immediate sense of Presence to arising experience to be 'overshadowed'. In having our attention snagged and directed, our energies are harnessed to another's purpose.

    This is the heart of it.

    To whose purpose is our attention hooked?

    Are we aware that it is hooked?

    Does it matter?

    For me, this constitutes the meat of the announcement and the message in what CB has done and is doing. It is a masterful demonstration of the means to gaining the power we willingly give away daily by allowing our attention to be hooked and 'losing' ourSelves in the ensuing 'story'. The future is indeed moulded in such a way. This was all very clearly laid out in the Implications Postings.

    They were the announcement in fact!

    The ensuing reaction to the revealing of the pay-per-view video was the that unambiguous, concrete proof we were promised!

    Well done to Dr. Brown and all those that direct attention!

    Dear Agape
    I think there is no need for you to say “I beg to differ in my understanding “ because in fact we seem to agree with each other...well I agree with you...I just never got into the detail which you have done so well...so thank you.

    Is it predictable ? Yes, to some degree , without doubt .
    So I think we are saying the same thing and agree with you...prediction of 'future' events is only to some degree successful and that means in reality it is only reality once it occurs...but even then...the outcome will always be a result of a chain of events. I think this is obvious...a pity more do not see this What you have described in your post is esoterically known as causal thinking...something we should learn to cultivate more in our minds when dealing with others.

    We should not loose sight of an important insight though when writing about cause and effect and that is that the effect is always preceded by thought and therefore our lives are in fact one big chain of events caused by our either right or wrong thinking.

    On Sunday I reported how I had been drawing semiotic triangles with reference to Courtney Brown’s announcement in a way reminiscent of remote viewing itself, although under uncontrolled, involuntary conditions – these triangles to be seen of course as 2D representations of pyramids. It took me a while to realize what was going on. Now I want to report on something slighter weirder that took me even longer to understand: the construction of 3D pyramids by yours truly during the period March 6-10 (I kid you not)

    We were cutting back some trees and I had dozens of branches (mostly maple) to chop up into pellets for mulch. I carted it all off in my wheelbarrow to three locations where I tipped it out for the time being. I noticed how instead of behaving like sand for instance, the oblong pellets, which were sticky with inedible maple syrup, gathered into a more geometrical shape, with straightish sides and something of an apex. The idea of pyramids came to mind, especially on noting how I had made two large piles and a smaller one, out of alignment with the other two I actually told my daughter I had turned the garden into the Giza plateau…

    I have two comments to make on this. One is about RV. It is clearly only one way of looking at the reality we are truly creating. To me my homemade pyramids are what is real, and those piles of stones in Egypt and how they got there is secondary, and somehow unreal. I think I would say this even if I had been there. Remote viewing with no visualization is more like telepathy than remote viewing per se, and it becomes prediction when it involves an announcement someone is going to make. In this case, prediction is not so much foretelling the future as detecting a present state.

    The other comment is about this secondariness. As an experienced pyramid-builder myself, ha ha, I can state that these stories of thousands of slaves toiling for decades, whether it be the mainstream story or the version touted by Courtney Brown (incidentally, I still haven’t actually read/heard what he says) are seriously out of date: that is definitely not the way things are now. Pyramids are dead easy to build when you have a decent wheelbarrow, and they are secondary to the real task – merely tidying stuff out of the way on a very temporary basis, until a use can be found for it elsewhere.

    The pyramid as a symbol is often associated with the inverted pyramid. Seen in this light, the mountain would merely be the by-product of some underground excavation. Am I suggesting a trip down this rabbithole instead? Far from it, I am making a molehill out of a mountain and suggesting we should metaphorically put all that stone back where it came from. Or more simply, to quote Daniel Quinn, ‘walk away from the pyramid’.

    This is not as easy as it sounds. It involves turning our backs on many things we treasure most. See this post:

    Very interesting exchange all around!

    This one got me "thinking":

    Quote Posted by NancyV (here)
    [...]

    ... Telepathy is at least a beginning of realizing that we are not separate.

    [...]
    ... since, from my point of view of someone bootstrapping from "down to Earth":

    Quote Posted by Amzer Zo (here)
    [...]

    Personally, rather than a "penetration" I would describe it as an "assumption" or a pervasive infiltration/percolation of the target energy field by one's own perceptic field. The attribute of "Water" signs...

    Now, for the "doing it"... well, that too is very complicated and very difficult to achieve (RVers reading this, hold on your horses!) and the reason why N/S/A got all these super Cray computers working full time in order to crack that nut:

    One simply needs to DECIDE to BE there and look!

    [...]
    ... there is a pivotal point of contention (ensures couch is there for ready dodging behind) with 180o of one going astray or 120o of both going astray if there's a third party/proposition involved.

    The kernel inside the nutshell can be summarized as: "Who decides what?"

    When a being is in a good enough shape and "big" enough to encompass this whole universe and perceives it in its wholeness as being "one" with, did the universe decide to be one with one?

    See?

    There's still a perceiver "YOU" and an "IT" that's being perceived...

    That's all.

    Hence, from my perspective, that point of contention would be rephrased as: "Telepathy is at least a beginning of realizing that one can establish bridges with (reach to) anything/anyone.

    The corollary being that one can also burn bridges with (withdraw from) anything/anyone.

    That's sovereignty!



    However,
    Quote Telepathy is at least a beginning of realizing that we are not separate.
    is workable in the context that we are all under the subconscious/unconscious influence of each other on this living planet.

    Now, where's that damn 100th monkey?!

    I'm wondering what will happen now. Why are part 2 and 3 so much delayed? Is it because there was so much
    negative critique and they're now quickly doing a remake to avoid the same on those parts?
    Or perhaps we may never see the planned part 2 and 3 at all.

    Not that I'm looking forward with the same anticipation as with part 1 but every event/occurrence tells you

    I think it's pretty safe to assume that their was no physical discovery, as he hinted towards heavily in his early messages.

    Otherwise he would have definitely released that by now considering the reaction to the first part of his announcement.

    But do the numbers say something about the quality of the content?

    It may say something about the public viewing (what interests them) and where they find it (quality of the posts).
    If they are sensationalists did they find it on PA or GLP, were they more serious, same question did they find it on
    PA or GLP? Only together with that insight we might have a peek at the 'score'.

    Yes, my understanding too. So what is/was the content of part 2 en 3? Part 1 wasn't what you would
    call 'introduction only'.

    When I googled "Courtney Brown, announcement" PA came in 4th. I have learned that google brings thing up in different orders based on your search record on.

    I often search for things on different computers and compare the difference.

    Quote Posted by Finefeather (here)
    Now that the rush has died down a bit I thought I would post my post which I wrote a while back.

    I have a few thoughts on this process of remote viewing...as is presented in the Farsight system...which I would like to share with you all if I may...because IMO there is a very definite logical error which keeps me from having any real confidence in the conclusions which are made by Mr Brown.

    First...the term 'Remote Viewing' is not an esoteric term, and it does not come up in any of the 'spiritual' philosophies that I have seen. The best term I can come up with which matches the original intention of remote viewing is mind projection...but lets just carry on a while...

    The word 'remote' should tell us something. By remote I would understand it to mean, that what we are attempting to view is remote from our current location, if we are talking relative to our body...and that logically therefore we need to project some part of us to the target in order to gain some information about that target.
    So remote viewing is called remote viewing because the intention of this term was and still is to remotely gain access to information, as in spying on the enemy, for example...an explanation which would fit in well with the intention of say a government or the military...from where the word came I believe.

    So how could this be achieved?

    We can use out of body travel or mind projection...both of these phenomena can fulfil this requirement.

    Now...out of body, or astral, travelling, can be an objective experience in the 'astral' or emotional world...but it has a very big potential flaw...because it is the only world in which we can create anything with the slightest unfocused thoughts in our minds...this can easily lead to bringing back wrong information and or illusions which appear as objective to the unsuspecting, ill trained traveller.

    I also know that mind can be split and we can project our awareness remotely in the mental world. This world is free from the illusion of the emotional world and we see only what we experience. The mental world has no illusions...no feelings.

    It would also be useful now to mention other phenomena like psychometry and telepathy which are overlooked by most and often seen as something which is away from the 'ordinary' person's experience. Little is it known, however, that these 2 phenomena play a major role in our interactions in real life...we just don't pay enough attention to them when they occur.

    Now lets look at what events we can view remotely.

    There is current events and past events...I am not going to deal with future here because there are no fixed or certain future events...even though many probabilities do become true...they are only fixed once they occur. There is also, just to mention it, the fact that moments before we actually do anything we have already thought it. Even a sudden, involuntary movement, which we think is due to our built in nerve system as a protection mechanism is predetermined, by probability...our physical consciousness just cannot realise it.

    So if something exists now in some remote place we can use OB or mind projection to retrieve the information...whereas if the event is in the past and no longer is manifest...it is present only in the immediate memory of a person, who has actually witnessed it...or...in the case of history and no record is present, or person can remember it...is only present in the planetary collective memory...sometimes called akashic records.

    So...I would like to propose that what Courtney is presenting as remote viewing is in fact not remote viewing but past event viewing...and here lies the biggest problem, which I can see, to his claims:

    If it is the case that Courtney, or anyone for that matter, is the one who initiates and comes up with the target. and then it is given to a person to remote view then this process is just a form of psychometry/telepathy.,,and not real remote viewing....these 'remote viewers' are picking up on the thought form created around the target envelope or item or instruction and most certainly not on the historic event. They will therefore be subjected to the initiators ideas and beliefs and not to the actual event.

    Why do I say this?

    Because only people known as 'Causal Selves' can access the dimension of planetary memory, and if these remote viewers were Causal Selves they would know it...and not even need the target to guide them...and they would be as accurate as watching a video of the event. Examples of Causal Beings would be akin to a highly advanced Being and they would not be sitting around dishing out insignificant stories of our history which in reality plays no part in what should be our most immediate goal. Of course a lot of us seem to think that this 'great revelation' which we have just been handed is of some significance...when in fact it is just another distraction...and what do we have?... little tit bits of someone else's beliefs in a though form he/she has created in the emotional or astral world...which is the world of illusion.

    You just have to gather all the many answers we have been given of the exact same thing. All different and each one claiming to be the real thing or the most likely...what are we ...the ignorant...to say about them...which answer do we each choose?...and why?

    So...the entire Farsight process is flawed IMO. These 'remote viewers' are tuning into the original thought form of the target creator and of cause the whole picture that is formed is merely an illusion of the picture in the mind of the person who created the target.

    Let me say, however, that despite what I have concluded, to do what these so called remote viewers are doing...if legit...is in fact a special gift and we should not just throw it aside as meaningless. There are many I have known who have this gift of psychometry and I have seen some pretty accurate readings with this talent...and telepathy, although practised by all unconsciously...will one day be part of normal interaction on the various levels which we use for communicating with our friends etc. I am sure there are many here who have experienced telepathy in some way...especially with close friends and relatives.

    Now if we could present these 'remote viewers' with a piece of the pyramid it would be much more revealing...if the person is actually psychic and not in collusion with the creator of the target for some reason.

    Take care now
    Ray

    I just came to this thread after I let it flow undisturbed ... chuckle chuckle as one person would say.

    Finefeather, you know I hold the deepest respect possible for you! I hope you do!

    But I am also one who has some problems dealing with ... strongly established opinions.
    Whit that I mean I agree to disagree.

    Remote Viewing is a term adopted and infused with meaning by the US/Russian M!l!tari forces after an extensive and quite serious work in the areas of the conscious and sub-conscious mind. I will not go into the details, but for anyone interested, this forum has lots of information available.
    The term doesn't come from the esoteric tradition, from 'spirituality' and from any of the like. So trying to explain it with what we are used to work with, is flawed, in my opinion.

    As a person who knows the base of it quite well, can use it, and has seen some quite good, not to use stronger words, results, it works, and boy does it really work. Amazingly!
    It has (almost) nothing to do with telepathy, and a lot to do with the way this so called universe we inhabit is created.
    In the world of real rV, psychics have a real problem...because rV doesn't operate on thinking/imagining/trying etc., but on pure SUBCONSCIOUS perception, if allowed. Not that one can completely block the thinking, but it can be and is done if followed the established protocol. Which is very easy to learn and use.

    The real special voodoo people can do it too, but THEN we come to the point of the string theory of the holographic universe... based on choice and effect.
    Anyway, I know I am not making much sense probably, but the whole thing is quite a lot to write in one or two posts, and I sense most people (me included sometimes) want the shorter version.

    RV works for everybody, but as opening one's eyes only comes when one decided to open one's eyes...

    I will stop there, so that I don't bore anyone with my limited English.
    If you REALLY want to understand why it works, I can recommend a book or two, and a video or two on the subject.

    With that said, I will humbly finish my post, and go back to my version of reality.
    ( but for those who actually want to know more, a hint --> Tom Campbell. For about 3 videos or ~5 hours of watching time, the idea gets much easier to grasp )

    I hope I did not offend anyone, but I always find it difficult to remain silent when presented with very definitively expressed opinions.

    As for Master Courtney and his announcement, what he is doing is generating interest, gathering momentum, and probably at the end he will reveal something that we all already know, here and now, but for the majority of the other people, it will be some sort of news. After all, it isn't all that difficult to imagine that he would try to get some new students, and some more income... That is my sensing on the subject.

    Peace, and learn rV.
    It may become useful for when you loose your keys, or did I mean kids ...
    it would also work for missing airplanes... and observing ets and their spaceships, or bases... chuckle, chuckle

    Let's assume for the moment that the mission of part one was to touch base with the current opinion and state of being of the public understanding.
    After that, and AFTER visiting PA (here), parts 2 and 3 will be postponed ... indefinitely
