It is
1:30 AM and I have just returned from a spectacular astronomical
party with 5,000 of my closest friends.
As we
all know, Mars is at its closest to Earth in at least
60,000 years. Just having the knowledge of this special
event was exciting enough. But what was far more intriguing
to this writer, was the people themselves. This event
reminded me of a scene from the movie "Close Encounter
of the Third Kind". It was the scene when the main character
played by Richard Dreyfus, was chasing a UFO. When he
came rushing around a blind corner, he came to a sudden
stop. When he did, he saw people from all walks of life
doing exactly what he was.
Tonight
at the local community college here in San Antonio, Texas,
the local 'San Antonio Astronomer Association held a
'viewing party' in a very large parking lot. As I arrived,
the first thing that struck me were the people who felt
so moved to come out in the middle of the night to view
a historical event.
There
were people in their 70's and 80's. Some with walkers
and wheelchairs. Children of all ages. Teenagers who
were more interested in the 10" telescopes, then the
cute girls/boys of their peers, or doing typical adolescent
prankster behavior. Couples, singles, families, pets,
people in the military. In short, every possible demographic
you can imagine. It was wonderful. It gave me a true
sense of community. It was what I saw, felt, sensed,
in my 'vision'. People were united with everyone's attention
on something outside ourselves, rather than focusing
or measuring one against the other. The atmosphere was
what I believe will occur as the earth changes escalate.
When events unfold that are out of our control, we will
be humbled. I believe it is when events unfold that are
not at the hand of our fellow man, we as a human race,
have a great chance of joining together as one.
I have
always believed it is the earth changing events that
will 'develop' communities, not break them apart. It
was as though all 5,000 of us had one singleness of purpose.
Perhaps that 'purpose', or draw, was something we all
felt at a cellular level. Perhaps we feel a ancestral
connection to Mars. Is it not possible through millions
of years in evolution that some how, some way, we are
more connected to Mars then one might think!
This
Friday, astronomer clubs all around the world will have
organized viewing parties. I suggest go!!!! Take
the kids, take the pets, take your parents, take your
friends, hell take your enemies. Simply call your local
astronomer club, or your local television station, or
your local College or University, and find out where
the viewing will be held. Everybody take a nap Friday
afternoon or evening, then go out around 10, 11, 12 midnight.
For you hard core's, and those who do not like crowds,
go around 3, 4, or 5 PM. Each facility will be open around
the clock. (unless otherwise stated). Take your cameras.
Many of the amateur astronomers have set up their 6",
8" 10", even 14" telescopes in the area where you will
go. They are excited to show your what they see and know.
Don't be shy, they absolutely love it. The more questions
you have, the better.
Have
fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NASA
Confesses Destructive "Culture"
Folks,
this could be a crack in the cooperate infrastructure.
NASA is no different than any other large corporation.
They are an antiquated organization based on the old
industrial revolution "pyramid". You know, the one where
sh.. runs down hill. Only the most diabolical, back stabbing,
intimidating, control/power mongers make it to the top.
It is a certain "character profile" that is attracted
to administration. Anyone who has worked for a cooperation
knows what I am speaking of.
In many
ways Nasa is no different than Enron. They are both corrupt.
And those who know how to 'play the game' make the rules.
It is the nature of the beast. This is the foundation
of what all the press release and talking heads where
addressing when they say Nasa "culture" is the cause.
Now let
me say...I do not fit in the box of those who say Nasa
is all conspiracy. Although, at times, this could in
fact be the case. What I am addressing in the above paragraph's,
has more to do with "repression" of employee expression.
Nasa has gone on record as of yesterday, stating they
have not been open to employee feedback. Employee's have
come forward stating it was dangerous (meaning losing
their job or being blackballed) to express their true
feelings or new research or insights.
I believe
most of the scientist and instructors associated with
Nasa are second to none. Many of them are truly the best
of the best. Unfortunately, their voice was too often "repressed".
I am hopeful more of them, as in the vein of Dr. Tom
Van Flandren, will come forward. But lets not kid ourselves,
progress and change of this nature can be very slow.
But it is a great first step. As most of us know, those
who are in power now, will most likely fight to the death
to maintain their cooperate position. It is their nature.
It is part of their unique make-up. It is what we call
in the mental health field "character profile" or "personality
profile".
So lets
all keep an eye on this hopeful event. Btw, isn't it
interesting this "shift" occurred on the exact day (August
28th) as mentioned in my interview with Dr. Buryl Payne.
You may find our interview rather "prophetic" in light
of todays news. Go to ECTV's front page and click on "This
Weeks Guest" audio file towards the top of the page.
