Probably explains all those UFOs we have been seeing as well. Where do they come from? I bet they come from a line of pre-historic intelligent dinosaurs that became sufficiently advanced technologically that they left our planet hundreds of millions of years ago, before the great comet struck. Oh, shoot! Star Trek, Voyager already thought up that premise. It was a good story. What I like about that episode what how more advanced technologically speaking the reptilian ships were from ours. The dinos were insulted to think that we humans were possibly their descendants. It was so insulting they told Janeway and her scale-less simian crew to please leave now and don't come back! > And like Penrose, et al, I do not believe this is an > electromagnetic effect.

We conceive of a physical transfer mechanism (EM or whatever) of thought energy as being transmitted from one being to another. IMO, this may be an erroneous perception possibly based on the illusion that we tend to believe that we are separate self-conscious individual creatures. Based my own rather mundane meditations combined with readings from various learned scholars I must confess that I've come to appreciate more and more the notion that the "I" of me really doesn't exist, and never did. CONSCIOUSNESS or AWARENESS exists and always has. It's the only thing that is real as far as I can tell. However, most of us tend to overlook our awareness of AWARENESS (sorry for the redundancy) and instead identify with the external "I" that AWARENESS perceives, what we call by various names. However, the "I" of me, which in "my" case is known as Steven Vincent Johnson with all of it's excessive baggage of thoughts, memories, and emotions, are but a convenient growing collection, a dynamic package that AWARENESS has chosen to fiddle with for AWARENESS'S enjoyment, just to see what will happen next. The key point being: We are all AWARENESS. If one is willing to entertain the notion that who WE really are is really nothing more than AWARENESS, then one begins to comprehend the possibility that there really are no boundaries and/or implied distances between various externally perceived identities - other than the constructs the various externally perceived identities have erected in order to continue to experience the intensity of believing we are separate individual creatures that have been randomly cast out into a scary universe to fend for ourselves. Separateness, Aloneness, such perceptions are experienced intensely! Once AWARENESS acquires the skill of manifesting the illusion of separateness, AWARENESS is in no hurry to tear down the boundaries. But of course, those boundaries occasionally fray a tad at the seams. This occasionally results in a few items slopping over into other portions of AWARENESS's other "dynamic packages". But, ahem! Just ignore them if you please, and step back into the illusion. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
