Wisdom Connections

During our February meeting we had a lively discussion on The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Scientific Efforts and Personal Experience. The discussion was very well attended and everyone participated with enthusiasm.

Rosemary introduced the subject by summarizing our experience at the Fine Arts Center when Dr. David Grinspoon, Curator of Astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, spoke about the possibility of “extraterrestrial art.”  Science is discovering through the power of ever-farther-seeing telescopes that most if not all stars host planetary systems. With the “billions and billions” of stars in the Universe and therefore billions and billions of planets the odds grow increasingly high that terrestrial-like planets hosting life exist out there! The odds that we humans are the only intelligent life in the Universe grow increasingly small.

And then there are personal experiences of phenomena that relate to “close encounters of the third kind”!

Here are some of the highlights from the group:

1. Time shifting – a 25 minute trip from Colorado Springs to Denver
2. Disappearing book – “Stranger at the Pentagon” by Dr. Frank E. Stranges vanished and could not be replaced for several years. Now Amazon has it available from third parties.
3. Bright objects following cars – there were two reports of this phenomena
4. UFOs in photos – some taken by our members
5. High activity over Scotland – for recent status information and reports see:  www.uk-ufo.co.uk/category/uk-ufo-sightings/perthshire/
6. The HAARP Project – what is it and has it created weather issues? For the official site see:  www.haarp.alaska.edu/ and for juicier info:  www.haarp.net/haarpoverview.htm
7. Crop circles – are these messages from ETs? There is no good explanation for their creation. There was one report of a crop circle appearance in response to a radio-telescope signal – are we getting answers but just not listening?  These are awesome creations; from on-the-ground witnesses, the energy inside these circles can be strongly felt. Crop yields in the area of the circles increase. For more information just google “crop circles” – there are many awesome pictures and videos to be seen, some with good commentary.
8. Clouds in the same patterns as the crop circles – if we don’t get the messages from the ground can we perhaps read them in the sky?
9. The appearance of orbs – are these further signs of other dimensions attempting to contact us? There seems to be a connection between orbs and crop cirlces.
10. Abductions by aliens – there is startling conformity across all the stories of people who claim they were abducted. Hypnosis seems to confirm the unusual events, experiences and repeating patterns.
11. And what about other visitations?  Is there a connection between other dimensional encounters and what some claim to be ghosts?

Well, we clearly had fun with this topic and we could have gone on discussing it well past closing time for Little Nepal! And there is a serious side to this discussion as well: we are likely “not alone.” And it is also likely that we are being contacted by “others” – let us hope they bring some clarity and peace to our next steps as a human species!

Our next gathering should prove to be just as interesting as our February topic was. Join us same time, same place on March 1 when we will discuss: Past Lives: Meaningful, Metaphor or Myth.

And, as a preview for our April meeting, which will be held on April 5, the topic will be What’s All This Hype about 2012? What’s the Basis for it and What Do We Think Might Happen? We are announcing this early in case you want to do some advanced research.

Blessings! We hope to see you soon.
