The @#%^##! disks have disappeared under some pile or another [I'm packing up some of my books to move over there]. <br /><br />BUT you are right on time to remind me --- I was actually forgetting. I've just finished the main packing chore this evening. Tomorrow I will go about turning over debris to find the disks.

I realize that you are very busy, but without your overview, many of us won't be privy to this information. Unfortunately I'm unable to purchase the DVD's at present. Thanks for all your great work, especially the Government UFO book which I enjoyed immensely.

Strange lights in the sky. This is nothing new. Almost 150 years, on July 31, 1862, Fred Bainbridge of St George's Terrace, Harrogate, wrote to the Harrogate Advertiser:<br /><br />"Last night, a little before 12 0'-clock, my attention was arrested by a brilliant light proceeding down Oatlands Lane, which at the moment I concluded was a lamp of a carriage which seemed to emerge from the front of Mr Paley's house.<br /><br />“This light had proceeded down the road across the common for about 150 yards when it was followed by another taking the same direction at first, but which made a sudden turn on approaching the first light, darting off towards the railway, the first light speedily following, but not so far.<br /><br />“They both then wandered up and down, at one time slowly and then rapidly, much faster than a locomotive steam engine, moving with a gliding swiftness peculiar to meteors. At the same time as these two lights were passing about, now quickly now slowly, or coming to a standstill, a third light was stationary over the direction in the pool in Miss Paley's land, but which did not appear so brilliant as the others.<br /><br />“For half an hour I watched the vagaries of this "Will of the Wisp," or "Ignis Fatuus," which I very soon concluded it to be, and then entered my house and directed my wife's attention to it, who arose from her bed on purpose to view it.<br /><br />“The night was most favourable to the formation of this kind of meteor, being warm and dark with a gentle south-west wind and a misty rain, which soon increased, and at 12.30 extinguished the vagrant lights."alanborkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333017272673090593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-38848091636157425162013-07-16T09:31:22.781-07:002013-07-16T09:31:22.781-07:00I wish you well in your endeavor.

These are "SUSTAINABILITY" {the physical component}, "COMMUNITY" {the social component}, and "SPIRITUALITY" {the foundational and "awareness" component}. The idea of the urban green-retrofit house is to create a living environment to facilitate this tripod. <br /><br />The physical part is easier to describe. It would/should involve a sustainable Energy basis for this lifestyle. That means radical insulation [including the expensive windows] and energy conserving devices, plus a bit of active solar cell electricity and passive solar hot-water heating. We would buy the green energy [wind-generated power] from the power company for the remaining needs. The materials system would be as cyclical [rather than linear] as it could be --- re-use, recycling, composting [including toilets], and informed purchasing. The more local the good, the better. There would be some rooftop gardening and a thorough understanding of the local food systems. Our communications systems would be 21st century, maximizing information transfer vs mass transfer. The small 5-person community would have a shared electric vehicle to go along with any personal car one would wish. I myself have no car. <br /><br />The community would share ownership in the house, and share as many meals as convenient to the various lifestyles/jobs, and everyone pitch in not only on monthly upkeep fees but chores. "Governance" would be by shared discussion and cooperative compromise. Although this "consensus" is very difficult in a large society [although I've seen it work quite well up to about 16-20 people], at 4 or 5 this should be functional in decision-making. The Spirituality part of this would involve recognizing many/diverse Spiritual traditions/ insights, and concentrating on the generic Spiritual elements ultimately rather than the religious. There would be a meditation room and probably "natural world cycle" feasts [like the Celtic Cross-Quarter Days] to honor the Creation and the Creator in whatever ways one wants to think about this. <br /><br />My initial "plan" is to just buy and retrofit the place on my money as sole owner, but once properly formed "sell" the place in equal shared partnerships to all the residents for something like a dollar. We'd have a "condominium-like contract" explaining this set of relationships, and what one's ownership rights and responsibilities were. All this has been thought out during our lengthy attempt to design a 100 person ecovillage. <br /><br />That's enough. There's a lot more to it.

I hope that you enjoy our little city as much as I do. <br /><br />My readings and my theology both push me towards the idea that all experiences have both potentials of good and evil influence. There are no "gift" pathways which one doesn't in someway have to earn, and there are no overwhelmingly catastrophic forces which one might not have the grace to spiritually oppose. However, UFO encounters in general are, for me, simply interactions with physical technology and its intelligent agents. BUT, such phenomenology MIGHT be used/imitated by other agencies for ill intent. I cannot read what went on in the Betty Andreasson/ Ray Fowler affair without seeing such a hypothesis as credible in that case.

Wish you well on your house/community idea. <br /><br />Rereading "The Omega Project" by Kenneth Ring per your suggestion and it's even better than it was 20 years ago. I have a clearer perspective now and I'm finding lots of intriguing stuff I missed before. <br /><br />I think in time science will discover qualities in light that bring spirituality and science much closer. I do have darker thoughts sometimes though, especially about Marian Apparitions and the transformative effect of these experiences with light. <br /><br />There's definitely a very slippery ambivalent quality to these experiences. Like, OK, it makes sense that, as RIng points out, many UFOEs had traumatic childhoods--hence the whole idea of 'spiritual emergency' and so forth, as well as easier access to dissociative states. On the other hand, if I were a predator I would maybe isolate such persons and mess with them first. Always there is this weird dualism. I think part of the experience is about moving past that dualism. I hope. <br /><br />Anyhow, good luck and thanks for your ramblings. Good to know I'm not the only person who does that. C. R.
