Official UFO Disclosure and
Darwinian Evolution
by Joan d'Arc

Posted: 14:30 July 24, 2008 - UPDATED: July 29, 2008

July 23, 2008 was an historic day! I awoke to hear on the Internet an astounding interview on Kerrang Radio (UK) with Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who announced matter of factly, "yes, we have been visited." Did this sudden announcement signal the beginning of Official UFO Disclosure? I transcribed much of the conversation wherein Edgar Mitchell finally briefed us all. www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/6168/

The radio announcer asked Dr. Mitchell, "Are we alone in the Universe?" to which he responded, "Oh, I know for sure we're not alone in the Universe." The radio announcer expressed his shock at this disclosure and wondered if Mitchell was "pulling his leg" with "astronaut humor." Mitchell assured him the Roswell crash was real, and a number of contacts are real and ongoing. "Why is it being covered up?" he asked. The U.S. chose to do this after World War II, explained Mitchell, but it's starting to open up now in the international press. Mitchell also discussed the Catholic Church's recent press releases that we are not alone in the Universe. He explained that the amount of covert attempts to cover-up and the amount of disinformation is decreasing. Mitchell stated, "there's more nonsense out there about this than is real, but it IS a real phenomenon. … Some of us are privileged enough to have been briefed on some of it." He stated, "We're not alone in the Universe. We have been visited."

Dr. Mitchell went on to briefly discuss Roswell in 1947, saying he grew up in Roswell and it was a real extraterrestrial crash there. He admitted involvement in intelligence and military circles, and UFO committees and groups, and admitted it has been "well covered up in the past sixty years." He claimed there has been "quite a bit of contact" and that "contact is real and ongoing," but that he does not know where the visitors are from. He admitted to "back-engineering" of spacecraft, but claimed the "homegrown" vehicles "are not as sophisticated as what the visitors have." When asked if there will be an actual disclosure this year, Mitchell said there are serious organizations moving toward disclosure, and that it has already begun, since the Belgian, French, Brazilian and Mexican governments have opened their files and some British files were recently released. He indicated, "I think we're heading toward serious disclosure, but I can't say how fast." He said "public acceptance is increasing and disinformation seems to be decreasing." When asked "what will the reaction be?" he said it's "ho-hum so what's new?" and that "well over 70% of people accept it as fact."

"Do others involved in the moon landings know about this?" Mitchell responded, "Some of them do." When asked if the visitor's intent is hostile or peaceful, Mitchell stated, "It's pretty obvious that if it were hostile we'd have been gone by now. Or could have been. We had no defense if that's what their real intent was." When asked what they look like, he claimed there to be many groups, but described only one of them, "You've seen some of the pictures … little people that look strange to us. … pretty accurate." Finally, when asked if he was worried for his own safety, Mitchell replied, "Oh no. They're not knocking anybody off for that anymore."

Good News For Modern Man?

Mitchell indicated that over 70 percent of people accept extraterrestrial visitation as fact. I find that number to be unbelievably large. He perhaps is referring to globally, not in the U.S. If true, I believe Mitchell underplays the reaction of the remaining 30 percent, who are in profound denial in an isolated, outback cosmos—namely the scientific "Darwinists." He underplays the effect on science—a "naturalist" paradigm unbelievably rigid in its fundamentalist and insular premise that "intelligent" life is Earth-based only.

Is Official UFO Disclosure good news for modern man? Well, it is and, then again, it isn't. The effect on Darwinian evolution will be profound. This is what the cover-up is and has been all about. After all science is not about flexibility but is about security; and the alarm for this potential breach in security was pushed by NASA in 1960, when it tasked the Brookings Institute to think through the implications of the possible discovery of artifacts on the moon or other planets on which we may land or send probes.

The Brookings Study was concerned about the impact of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) on religion, but it also feared the impact on science. In part, the Brookings Study noted that "scientists and engineers might be the most devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures, since these professions are most clearly associated with mastery of nature." The study also noted, "Advanced understanding of nature might vitiate all our theories."

Darwinian evolution epitomizes mankind's mastery over nature. Indeed, as I have noted in my book, Space Travelers and the Genesis of the Human Form, the evolution story dramatizes the "natural" transfiguration of mankind through a linear procession of metamorphoses that eventually separate him from the animals of his ancestry. Evolution is Western man's totem; essentially, it represents mastery over our own nature. Since the entire realm of modern biology and chemistry is based on the Darwinian paradigm, the discovery, or should I say, the official disclosure, of extraterrestrial intelligence would completely shatter the Darwinian mythology of humanity's accidental climb out of the muck of our local habitat Earth.

From the perspective of Darwinian theory, mankind may be seen as the winner of a preposterous survival lottery which, we are told, given the incredible odds should not have occurred even once. Thus, if the humanoid form evolved from the great ape lineage on planet Earth, the mathematical odds are incredibly against the possibility of that same chain of random and incremental steps, contingent upon an interplay with a similar biological environment, occurring elsewhere in the Universe. Therefore, the assumptions of Darwinian evolution presuppose the humanoid form to be an entirely Earth-based phenomenon.

Darwinian evolution is a metaphysical genesis tale of life on Earth. In her book Evolution as a Religion, philosopher Mary Midgley argued that "evolution is not just an inert piece of theoretical science," but is also "a powerful folk tale about human origins." It must be pointed out that creationism and evolutionism have one main factor in agreement: they are both Earth-centric genesis tales. Both oppose the idea of intelligence at large in the Universe, including the idea of space travelers. In both theories, the Earth is the center of the Universe and WE are IT!

It must also be understood that the theory of evolution essentially views the human or humanoid form as merely an accident in a chain of accidents. For instance, Stephen Jay Gould argued that the evolution of the human form is not a "repeatable occurrence." In the Journal of British Interplanetary Society (1992), E.J. Coffey also argued that "the survivors resemble the winners of a lottery rather than creatures better designed than the unlucky majority who do not survive."

For quite the same reasons as above, British astronomer, Sir Fred Hoyle, proponent of the Modern Theory of Panspermia, mathematically dismissed the chance of Darwinian evolution being an actual occurrence, arguing that "even if the whole Universe consisted of organic soup ... the chance of producing merely the basic enzymes of life by random processes without intelligent direction would be about 1 over a 1 with 40,000 zeros after it; a probability too small to imagine." Hoyle concluded that "Darwinian evolution is most unlikely to get even one polypeptide sequence right, let alone the thousands on which living cells depend for survival."

Given that there are trillions of different kinds of cells in the body, all in delicate balance with each other, each of these varied cellular structures would also have to develop by chance. In a Times-Advocate interview in December 1982, Hoyle declared that this mathematical impossibility is well known to scientists, yet nobody seems willing to "blow the whistle" on the absurdity of Darwinian theory. Hoyle claims "most scientists still cling to Darwinism because of its grip on the educational system," and because they don't want to be branded as "heretics." Let's hope this allegation is at least partially true.

Others have "done the math" as well. British molecular biologist Francis Crick, who received the 1962 Nobel Prize for the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, wondered if we weren't from around here. After discovering the astonishingly huge and complex information storage capacity of the DNA molecule (humans have three billion coding letters in each nucleus), Crick could not imagine any conditions under which this information vehicle could have evolved from non-living chemicals. He argued that since the earth has too short a history for life to have developed here, it must have developed on another planet in a solar system several billion years older than ours.

Crick's aversion to religion led him and Leslie Orgel, in 1973, to put forth the theory of Directed Panspermia. To get around the idea of God, Crick proposed that the primordial seeds of life were shipped to earth in spaceships billions of years ago by intelligent beings. After proposing this idea, Crick was left in the predicament of explaining the origin of the ET beings, and finally had to acknowledge the paucity of the idea, saying, "Every time I write a paper on the origin of life, I swear I will never write another one, because there is too much speculation running after too few facts." (Life Itself, 1981)

Although an atheist, Crick was quoted as saying, "An honest man, armed with the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense the origin of life appears to be almost a miracle." William Hamilton in his essay "Astrogenesis" suggests, "The real paradigm shift is to consider that the Universe is a life-producing nursery and that the genesis and evolution of life is not earth-centered but rather is distributed among the stars of the galaxies."

In his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn defines a scientific revolution as a "non-cumulative developmental episode" whereby an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an "incompatible new one." Such scientific revolutions begin with a growing sense that "an existing paradigm has ceased to function adequately in the exploration of an aspect of nature." The emergence of new theories is usually preceded by a period of "pronounced professional insecurity," since it involves large-scale paradigm destruction. Kuhn explains, under normal rules a scientific theory "is declared invalid only if an alternative candidate is available to take its place."

Unfortunately for them, academia and its inflexible materialist skeptics have persistently disallowed any alternative candidates from the Vitalist arena to impose on their Nature party: such as Lovelock and Margulis's Gaia Theory (in this case they made it conform to Naturalism before allowing a baby toe in); Rupert Sheldrake's Theory of Formative Causation (they absolutely spit on the idea of morphogenetic fields); Extraterrestrial theories such as Panspermia, Visitor Genetic Breeding or Planetary Seeding experiments ("little green men" anybody?); the mathematical theories of Intelligent Design ("Creationism in a cheap tuxedo"); and we all know where they stand on the "Super-natural" theory of Creationism (oh well, I say, if it walks like a duck).

Many people I talk to are under the assumption that Darwinism is playfully malleable and open to their mishmash of supernatural ideas. I try to inform them that Darwinian evolution is an all-or-nothing theory; it will not allow inclusion of any Vitalist or Supra-natural process—or, goddess forbid, any anthropomorphism. It is very exacting on that rule. If you are espousing any form of Supernaturalism, you are clearly not a Darwinian. Perhaps you are a Vitalist.

The essential problem is, according to Kuhn, scientists cannot do research in the absence of a controlling and overarching (i.e., tightly closed and uncompromising) paradigm: in this case Naturalism (Materialism) as opposed to Supernaturalism (Vitalism). Under normal circumstances they do not and can not pull the floor out from under themselves by either switching paradigms or allowing an alternative toe in the door. But in the face of Official UFO Disclosure, the door will be blown out for them.

Extraterrestrial space travelers and Darwinian evolution are incompatible! Do not underestimate the reaction from the fundamentalist Scientism camp: the discovery of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and specifically of the extraterrestrial humanoid form, blows Earth-centric evolutionary biology straight out of the water!

BAM! SPLASH! HIGH AND DRY!

"Pronounced professional insecurity" does not even begin to describe what unbending Darwinists will go through under Official UFO Disclosure, should it actually occur. The Catholic Church has already announced its acceptance of extraterrestrial beinghood. Science has not. It will not be the followers of fundamentalist religions but the followers of rigid, unyielding Scientism who will be in the herd of lemmings headed straight for the edge of the cliff.

DreamHouse Talk

2007-02-24T12:24:37Z

[This is to catch us up to date here also.]

K

--==={:=========----------- *

Hail there, All,

As most of you now know,
I have decided to introduce
the cafe/teahouse that I have
been running at medieval fairs
into this wonder-filled arena
of eletronica/psytrance that
I have recently rejoined
after being distant
for ten years.

The teahouse/kasbah has popularly
been known as "The Elysian Dream"
which means, the dream of paradise.
In past fairs it has manifested as a
Viking "FriendShip" and, at times,
it takes the form of a Lighthouse.

Here is a fairly complete list of
the items and supplies that I have
assembled in Portland for the Psy-cicle
Winter Soulstice event. It is near guaranteed
that there will be snow on the ground, so...
hot beverages and other delights for
our creature comforts will be
very nice to have aplenty.

I also listed below the items that I have in Eugene,
with the rest of my pile o' booty. I may be able
to manage a trip there before the event.
In the case that I am unable to, I also listed
the missing items should anyone be interested
in donating to the dream, bartering, or contributing...
for the benefit of All who choose paradise.

---====={========--------------------- *

Supplies currently in Portaland:

Custom incenses
4 Turkish Coffee Ibriks
16 cup stove top percolator
50? cup electric percolator
8 shot stove top espresso maker
8 cup glass tea "ball" steeper
single cup tea steeper
wide assortment of bagged teas
green & black loose teas
5 canisters instant chai base (11 servings each)
2 oz of supplimentary chai spice
3 tea ball steepers
1 lid resting tea strainer
5 lbs white sugar
1 1/2 lbs brown sugar
assorted spices for food
5 insulated pump pots for liquid
1 cooler (won't be critical in the cold weather LOL)
1 4' square portable table
1 2' circular " "
1 8' X 10' cabin tent
1 6' X 8' cabin tent
1/2 gallon lamp/tiki fuel

Please note that I don't hassle with food service
but there's a very good possibilty that Open Heart cafe
will be collaborating for this event. I talked with Jared today
and we will converse again tomorrow night at the Cathedral.

---====={========--------------------- *

Requests:

[Please bring your own insulated mugs
as I do not have enough for everyone and
such items will prove invaluable in the climate.]

To-go cups
Tapestries*
Hookah/shisha
Stove/fuel preferably propane*
Liquor/Hard Alcohol**
Shelter Pavilion/Canopy

*: see items in Eugene below

**: Alcohol would be nice for
keeping us warm and jolly.
I don't recommend bringing
lot's of beer as it will make for
more trips to the bushes/biffies,
which seems like it would be
more of a bother for ladies.

With a fifth of Everclear
I can make a gallon of Mokahlua
(aka Merlin's Magnificent Mocha Magic.)
It is a nice chocolate coffee liquor which
brings us up almost as much
as it mellows us out.

With BarronJaeger (honey liqueur), I can make "Elysian Bliss,"
which has a similar effect as Mokahlua,
but uses chai instead of coffee.

---====={========--------------------- *

Items currently in Eugene:

20 tiki torches
4 exotic tapestries
Abundant candles/
candlesticks and holders
2-2 burner kerosene camp stoves

Items we can never have enough of:

honey
chocolate
coffee/tea
candles/torches
charcoal disks for incense/shisha
pillows/blankets
whipped cream
condoms
sugar & spice
and everything nice ;)-

Please respond here
or by personal message
if you plan to bring any of
these suggested supplies.
(As it just may save me a trip
down to Eugene (Adiantum.)
Investing in paradise is
a good thing indeed.

Blessed Be,

BaccKus

Feedback reports from Return of the Psyquarian 2/10/2007
(A City Repair Fundraiser)

You and the Elysian Dream/Kazbah teahouse are truly a blessing. It is something so subtle, yet so powerful....at the winter solstice I was drawn to the tent, and felt completely at home sitting there in a new place with unfamiliar people and a new culture. And again last night, the Elysian Dream and you were a source of unbelievable comfort. Whenever I started freaking out, simply going back there allowed me the psychic space to regroup. I don't know how you do it Shizlan, but you are a fantastic being and I am so grateful to you for creating and sharing that energy/space. Thank you again, my brother lion cub. May you have a wonderful night/day, with every breath replenishing you in body, mind, and spirit, just as you have been a source of replenishment for myself and many others.
love,
tom

We had a blast this weekend - thanks to everybody for helpin' out and dancing like crazy for hours on end. Parus rocked
the place...those guys were the shiz.

Also special thanks to the Elysian Dream faction for providing some much needed coffee. I believe that sparked my 6th wind of the night.

Good times - hope to do it again soon!

Another BEAUT!
I drove all the way from Seattle and it was so worth it.I thought all the music was great and the "ambient" tunes were sublimely twisted. I wasn't so much dancing as flinching from the waves of whacked.
It was great to see the fam from Psycicle. I missed you fools and look forward to spending more time with y'all.
Special thanks to all the sound crew!
Sounded super clean to me and was loud enough to swim in yet no ringing and only minor muting the day after.
I seem to have a hard time being very helpful. Still looking for my niche I guess.
I will bring a vat of home made hummus next time.

Okay I'm back.

So I really have to give a HUGE thank you to Shizlan and everyone else who helped out with the kitchen. The earl grey tea was much needed around 1Am when I was getting tired, and the chai later on was so spicy and delicious. Adelbert's chocolate strawberries were to die for, and whoever put out the trail mix and bread and cheese has my eternal gratitude... sometimes you really need that real food that fills the stomach!

I was very glad to make use of the Exploration Station space when I got a "glued to the floor" feeling around 6AM. I could have laid down in the ambient room, but I actually found the ambient to be really jarring and screechy. That wasn't ambient! Luckily Exploration Station was much quieter and I didn't have to worry about anyone tripping over me. Ali was very nice to check in on me and we had a nice conversation about the station setup and where it's going.

This really was one of the best center space parties I've been to. The diverse crowds mixed well and everyone seemed to be having fun and getting along, so many happy people and smiling faces. LET'S DO IT AGAIN! :)

agreed, an excellent and well-needed night of celebration :)
i enjoyed all the sets, i thought parus started out ok but by the end left me impressed with how deep they got.
I also thought the elysian dream did a wonderful job throughout the night.

Overall, Loved getting to see all of the pdx family on the dancefloor again =)

The last thing that I meant to contribute
on this topic was to extend gratitude
to the many others who had a part
in making the event happen and
were not able to be present.

I, myself, do not know everyone
who would be in that category,
but from the Elysian Dream,
special thanks goes out to:

Heather (of Art Haven--for the deluxe lantern to light the way.)
Manifest (of Apollo's Lute--for the stove, table, and 5 gal. water jug.)
Kim (of True Brews Coffee House--for turkish coffee and the green & black teas)
New Frontier Market (for the generous offering of their coffee grinder for the turkish grind.)

"----=====+++***********+++=====----

Anyone else that feels soul moved to express gratitude for those that helped,
and yet were unable to be with us, it would be great to hear from you, indeed.
I am hoping that folks can truly see how this toure represents a movement
that encompasses everyone in much larger community than WE fathom.

Blessed Be...
all You've shared with me/US,

Therefore, the status of the FriendShip, Blues4Kali has been suspended.

Furthermore, Kapitan AmanaMission & First Mate Indi Riverflow

Unfortunately, this does happen from time to time.

Sheldan Nidle Update ~ 12/5/06

Salamat Bakir! We return with more to discuss with you. Much is afoot which guarantees that you are approaching the moment when the longed-for abundance promised you by the Divine can finally be delivered to your door! The rising chaos surrounding the US regime is indicative of big shifts in the balance of power taking place behind closed doors. Our Earth allies fully anticipated this last minute, desperate scurrying about. The last cabal is seeing some of its most cherished plans for staying in power being dashed. Its members are meeting in secret around the globe trying to come up with some way to escape their increasing obvious fate. Soon, the final pincer movements are to start. Recognizing this, many senior members of this dark cadre are covertly negotiating with us to intervene on their behalf with the Earth allies. They wish at this eleventh hour to "cut a deal" giving them immunity in exchange for handing over the reigns of power which they have stubbornly held on to well past the agreed date.

The incoming power structure contains programs that promise great relief for the multitudes. These include essential regime changes, which are needed to complete first contact, and abundance and debt-relief procedures designed to swiftly end the wealth monopoly of your secret and once-powerful rulers. These provisions have taken time to establish, and now they are near completion. Thus, we call for your patience and ask you to remain within the peaceful and joyous Spirit that traditionally characterizes this time of the year. Many things are happening in many places that promise much for each of you. Draw on your spiritual wealth and exhibit the non-judgment of the great Masters that you honor. Use the example of their wisdom to rise above anger and undue negative thoughts. This moment in your history brings a divinely directed transformation in your reality and has been long in coming. Now, inevitably, it has arrived. This time calls for your due diligence and inherent optimism in order to fall into place as so blessedly envisioned by the Creator.

Remember that this reality shift is a collective procedure that requires everyone to remain confident and able to visualize your magnificent rewards. For our part, we contribute by planning for your richly deserved victory and by preparing our craft and personnel for what is needed to move you from your present world to your abundant new one. This means that our responsibilities do not end with a formal first contact; this is only the beginning. Much technology is to be transferred and an enormous education project is to get underway. You, as a people, need to be moved to a point where your expanding consciousness can truly blossom. You also need an objective new way of looking at this marvelous living universe that we all live in. All this, as well as preparing you for full consciousness, is a full schedule for our first contact counselors. The post-contact environment is to introduce you to a plethora of sentient life forms who all share this beautiful galaxy with you. Also, one of the events we intend to sponsor is a guided media tour of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The solar systems of this galaxy run the gamut from ones quite similar to your own, to ones that are different in number and size of planets, and types of sun at their core. The sheer beauty of the multicolored dust clouds, nebulas, and star clusters that make up this galaxy adds to this diversity. Everywhere, the glories of conscious creation are evident. One of the things that every exploration fleet enjoys is making detailed studies of these magnificent celestial phenomena, and we wish very much to share this with you so that you can see at first hand how exquisite all of this is. Preparing you to become full galactic citizens means that you need a complete run-down on the composition of this galaxy and the sentient Beings who are your neighbors. So, once the initial formalities of first contact are over, you are to become acquainted with the many Beings who are ready to receive you in Love and to help you dispel any reservations concerning them that you may have.

As your consciousness grows, it becomes quite natural for you to realize that you are not alone in this galaxy, and that you are being visited and watched over by Beings who have the capability to travel freely throughout the cosmos. You will quickly perceive the evidence of this all around you and, as your awareness as a species expands, you will feel comfortable, if not excited, at being chosen for first contact. Over a decade ago, we began this mission knowing that this unstoppable growth in your consciousness was reaching a critical mass. This is why we endured the discrediting of our motives by your ruling caciques. We understood that your awakening was soon to put a spoke in their well laid but malignant plans for your formal imprisonment. Freedom is your destiny, and Personal Sovereignty, your infallible prize. And no one can keep you from your decreed inheritance!

Knowing this, we began to encourage a movement among you to fully actualize this grand heritage. The result is the content of this series of messages, each one designed to move you closer to accepting the inevitability of your destiny. This destiny has taken not only many millennia to get to this point, but also a great deal of courage and dogged tenacity to manifest. Fully manifested, it will be your divine gift from Lord Surea. Bless eternally the wonders of this awesome dispensation! Heaven turns her grand powers of grace and Love upon you and gives you all a sacred victory over the dark. The first proclamations of this victory, now so close to happening, are to be prosperity, debt annulment, and peace. These will be followed by our formal recognition and our mass arrival on your shores.

The accelerating collapse of your present world structure is happening for a reason: Your world needs to shift. Those who seek personal wealth over global abundance, and power at the expense of the common good have unduly held back your society's natural progress. These secret rulers have run their course and now a new paradigm is imperative. This is why your world is swamped in chaos and your global ecosystems rent by skyrocketing extinctions. On one level your world is dying as she prepares to morph into something wholly different. This transformation is to be boosted by the event of first contact, which brings to a stunning end your too-long quarantine from your spiritual and space families. Thereupon, all efforts can focus on your return to full consciousness. This divine sequence of events is your true destiny.

In this message, we focused our attention on certain facts for a reason. We wish you to see what is happening not only as a series of divinely decreed events, but also as a result of what you willed into being. Change happens for a number of reasons, the foremost being that it is the collective Will of a reality's inhabitants. You "willed" us here as necessary agents of intercession, and your collective intent coalesced into the vision that is now unfolding. The impending events are thus your joint responsibility. However, this responsibility does not end with you; it involves us--your galactic family. First contact is a natural response to what you have put forth. It reflects our respect for your decisions and, like a true family, we come to support you, to embrace you, and to help you through the final stages of your divine metamorphosis.

Today, we honed in on yet another aspect of your ongoing reality and consciousness shift. This shift is to be honored by our first contact with you. We salute you for your patience, your Love, and above all, for your belief in your victory. All of this promises a most magnificent future for all of you. Remember, Together, We are truly Victorious! Blessings, dear Ones! Know in your Heart of Hearts that the perpetual Supply and infinite Abundance of Heaven are indeed Yours! Selamat Majon! Selamat Kasitaram! (Sirian for Rejoice! and Be Blessed in Heavenly Love and Joy!)

Tribal Designs & Structures for Theme Camp(s)

2006-11-17T00:02:28Z

This discussion also crosses over into
topics concerning the Elysian Fleet, SO,
before the thread got too long, I figured,
that 'twould be good to bring it over here
and repost so that everyone can be
on the same page together.

Tribal Designs & Structures for Theme Camp(s)
topic posted Tue, November 14, 2006 - 7:48 AM

by ShizLAN

For reasons that seem apparent to me,
and perhaps to others as well, I've decided to
create this topic to continue threads which seemed
to be outside the scope of the last posted discussion.

I think it would also be good (and entertaining)
to delve into the subject of designs for structures
that we can play on and around--please, also put in
your two, three, or even 6 senses for pleasant games,
visuals, or other types of scents, aromatherapy anyone?

This will also be used as an experimental foray into
all the possibilities that can be used for other
events and festivals that may happen
outside of Black Rock City also.

So, please give this
your best and brightest
braincells and imagination...
for the benefit of All.

Namasté,

Re: Designs & Structures
I haven't experienced the camps that folks
have had (who've attended BM already
and are a part of this particular tribe)
so I don't know what has been
created up to this point, but,
along the lines of this topic,
I have a feeling that it would be
good to get these ideas squared away
WAAAAY ahead of time--for many a good reason.

I am of the school of thought that it is not so much bad,
necessarily, to have many ideas--as long as I/we
"stay with my/our nose(s) to the grindstone,"
so to say, or "more walk than talk."

I have found that it is better to have
more ideas to choose from--and able to
accomplish a few of them, rather than operate
with "less than a full deck" for lack of "brainstorming."
Proper planning is crucial to an awesome AND SAFE camp.

I should also add: another key component is to keep it realistic.

Bedouin commented in response to my mentioning
of the pro's and con's of using buses
(as opposed to domes or tents)
that it could be good
to use them as barriers
from the sun and dust storms.

After some pondering, I figured that
within our network there are a few buses
that may make for a nice sheltered oasis, or paradise,
from the storms if we were to park, say, three or four
of them touching for a central "village plaza."

That way we would always have a place,
an inner sanctuary, where we could
get away from the sand in our tents
or the blistering sun overhead.

A large parachute would
probably stretch between the roofs
of the "fleet of ships (buses)" and provide
a good sized cover overhead. It could also be
easily opened for star viewing at night--
and smaller X & D-cellR8Rs,
as have been discussed,
could be worked nicely
for all around benefit.

In considering domes--
I have a connection for very strong
and lightweight dome designs.
They are not made of conduit
(which weighs easily more
than a ton when you
have a good sized one.)

It may be nice to have, at least,
one dome for "a bedouin-style lounge"
with pillows and some comfort amenities.

I don't know how realistic it is for me to
be able to get my Jedi StarShip constructed
for this upcoming BM, but, to put this idea
on the table--I thought that if we could
somehow transmit a frequency
over short radiowaves with even just
a small power tranZmitter, than we could
broadcast what is being produced from the DJ's
all over the playa via hand held boom boxes AND EVEN
radios in some of the "FriendShips" that I mention
(within the Elysian Fleet.) Perhaps art vehicles
from other camps we meet on the playa
would dig the tranZmission and
tune in to the grooves also.

Hmm..brings new meaning to
the newly coined, "ReMemberanceShips."

This is along the lines of the
Meta-Missionaries topic which
has already been mentioned, but,
is still rather new and undeveloped.

I recommend picking up a copy of
"E.T. 101" for more on this.
(I found out that it is
apparently out of print.)

May the Couth be with You,

Thanks, Major TT,

Your input got my gears lubricated and spinning--
through your input, I had the vision of a HUGE saucer
composed both of the buses on the ground floor
and a transparent dome with flashing lights
like an artistic replica of a "SuperStarShip."

And, it actually shouldn't be that difficult to construct--
that is, if brainstorming and collection of parts
is started early on. I have the conneXions
through the fleet for the buses, but,
the dome parts I don't have
in my back pocket.

If anyone has ever viewed the design
that is on my iridescent zippo--that is what
I have in mind when I speak of this structure.

I plan to definately construct that
5-6 person furry hammock-bed.
I think that would be a good feature,
perhaps near the apex of the dome--
I'll ponder it some more--
safety FIRST, of course ;)

Re: Designs & Structures
hey shiz I could help you do this it would be a fun project and Iould get to go south for a while an x-wing is only just the begining...

Re: X-wing truck
Thanks for your input, Kapt'n Galaan,

What I have in mind is similar to
the City Repair Project's T-Horse truck.
Because my organization has been partnered
with them for quite some time now, I do believe that
obtaining assistance from them--and perhaps FellowShips
to join us in the theme camp would be entirely possible.

T-Horse, 1999 (Piccolo Park):
http://tribes.tribe.net/elysianfleet/photos/7cfb0ed9-5ca4-4432-a70f-a74b31f478b4

I imagine my idea would thrill them quite a bit.
I promised my best friend, Ambassador Angel, that I would
make some art project out of Luna. She gifted me the vehicle
for $1 because I needed a truck and she wasn't using her then.
Shortly after that she was stolen from me and altered dramatically.
This project is also a resolution of the traumatic event in my life.

Of course, the X-wing StarShip is only one
of many such vehicles in the fleet. But, for a vehicle
to be considered fully part of the fleet of Paradise,
it needs to be running bio-fuel, that is to say,
supportive of the dream of paradise
and not contributing to the current
paradigm of unsustainability.

Read more on that in
Thee Elysian Fleet of FriendShips tribe.

Cheers! & thanX once again,

[WEEK LONG] Re: B-man hear we kome, ready oar knot

Yeah, I have a feeling we're in for something Grand,
as Ambassador Cheshyre pointed out--

"...make a little Galactic History... "

Though, he was referring to the one night "Gala" show.
Intuition tells me that its all going to work together
like acts in a theatre production.

Before the big night, we Meta-Missionaries
and ambassadors will be building up the fervor
and after the big show we will be continuing with
the diplomatic relations like answering questions
and (hopefully not) bringing people back to
what I have come to term as "Mundania."

For instance, a quote comes to mind:

"DMT! I understand now..." heh--

Be prepared for anything,
even though it's not our aim,
to coin Jello Biafra, WE do blow
minds for a living. HAAA SHEEESH!

(repost) How to spot "spacecraft stars"...and then some

2006-11-09T21:30:53Z

EyeWitnessed: Drunken Aliens (Eugene)
Wednesday, October 11, 2006

I don't have time here to relay all of my own
eyewitness reports here of UFO sightings, but,
I will relay this new one three nights ago at dusk.

I could just see the stars brightly as
darkness settled in and peered upward
into the night sky as I often do...waiting for them.
I saw a light traveling across the sky but I knew
from the emission trail that it was a jet, however,
just next to it was a singular light traveling
much faster which left no trail at all.

I followed it as it traveled across the sky
and noticed it didn't follow a straight course.
It would go straight for a ways then do this strange
curve and then return to its course--it did this
often enough to make me wonder if the
piloting creature was sailing sober.

I wondered if it was just my eyes, but then again,
I knew it wasn't because I hadn't even yet
opened a bottle of my homemade mead
for my evening's relaxation enjoyment.

Now, here comes the wilder part--
as I watched the light speed away
into the distance, another light, closer
to my location, suddenly flashed brightly,
like a star going supernova, near the edge
of my field of view. When I shifted my attention
and looked directly at it, the brightness of it faded
and I realized that it was a super-spotlight.

I was not surprised, as I have had them
directed at me already in the past--actually,
one of my first sightings involved a craft equipped
with one of them (way back in 1987 or so.)

Anyway, my sighting concluded with the new light
shifting its focus away from me and ascending
in a definately curved arc upward
to take a near space orbit.
Then it resembled
a dim star in
the night sky.

All that went through my mind then was,
"No, don't leave. You've found me,
now come back and pick me up.

"Please, take me away to the heavens."

Yours truly, in the light,

How to spot "spacecraft stars"...and then some
Friday, October 13, 2006

I heard recently that the spacecraft
that have come here to be involved
in the upcoming times of this world
can be spotted in the night sky by
looking for the "rainbow stars."

Well, that was a few weeks ago
and I had yet to see one of them
until two nights ago. To my surprise,
I did not just see one in the nightscape,
I saw four distinct and bright rainbow lights
that of course were disguised to appear as stars.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I would like to add to All who read this,
as I divulged to two others recently at
the FourC Full Moon Gathering,
that the reason there have
not been any recent missions
to land on (or go near the moon)
is because an astronaut from a mission
in lunar orbit in the near past looked down
at the surface of the dark side of the moon
and exclaimed, "Hey, there's ships down there."

I have yet to have this solidly verified,
so if anyone knows more on this report,
please do share to get this validated for us.
But as far as I know, there is an extraterrestrial base
on the dark side of the moon where MASSIVE ships
are currently docked. My feeling is that these are
fleets of our allied FriendShips and they are
using this close proximity location for
its convenience and also the safety
that that side of the moon represents.
(As most of us know that the "Star Wars"
orbital weaponry are not all pointed toward
the planet's surface, actually, most are directed
out toward deep space for the "protection" of Earth.

Regardless, sooncome, because of popular support,
(by many of us interstellar ambassadors) there will be
visitations of a singular massive craft over many
major metropolitan areas for the purpose of
dispelling the fog of denial about life
on any planet other than our own.

More to come...so stay tuned--

[From Ambassador Cheshyre's Blog:
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??]

Umm, guess I missed something
Catching up here--

From what I gather, Mexico is viewed as
a much more alien-friendly country LOL
They have had so many visitations there
that they have daily disclosures of sightings.

When an entire fleet of spherical ships
materialize and hang around Mexico City
its hard to cover-it-up as a weather balloon.

I just entered "ufo mexico city" into google
and got more pages than I had time to surf.
Places like Mexico are getting more visitations
because they are a more accepting audience.

I know no one asked me, but I will share my words
because they are pertinent to this important topic.
My explanation for them "taking their time" with
this "first contact" is because, familiar as I am
or many of us in this circle may be with these
sightings of ships and strange lights, it is still
very much far fetched science-fiction to the
mainstream populace. It would be best if
we could make this as smooth as possible
to avoid mass hysteria and possible violence.

Although some media productions have
introduced the possibility to the unawares
we are still far from a mass acceptance of
extraterrestrial life. AND because we do
co-create our reality we must wait for US
to allow for such an occurance to happen.
Many people would flip their lid, get hostile,
or even just plain feel inferior in relation to
the near demi-gods that are our family.

So, its gonna take some time to do this smoothly.

However, I just heard a good explanation for
why I see so many "FriendShips" here in Eugene.

My best friend in the whole wide world, Angel,
told me just the other day that a very good
mutual friend of ours was taken by a UO
college professor to his house out there
in the forest where he shared with her
his research and findings that led him
to justify why so many of us have been
"called," or magnetized, to Eugene.

He believes that come the end of days
(be it 2012 or whatever) Eugene is one
of very few places that will be locations
from which humans will be evacuated.

I don't claim to know what is coming up ahead
but I would probably like to be rescued by ships
should there by toxic clouds of gases or radiation,
or diseases spreading widely, volcanoes erupting,
or whatever other polar shifts or asteroids should hit ;)

Hope my words help...
I do not require that you believe me--
I share what I know because I MUST.

drive me even more batty
than I already arr.

Catch-Update 10/06: Ashes to ashes--Phoenix Rising

2006-11-09T21:19:12Z

The summer session has gone quite well.
Many new alliances have been made
and we see the people coming out of
the woodwork enmass.

Some of the most noteworthy accomplishments:

Successful scouting mission to the Shrewsbury Renn. Faire.
Diplomatic negotiations to bring the Elysian Kasbah Teahouse
to the Shrewsbury Renn Faire in 2007 resulted in the organizers
actually requesting that the cafe be present next year.

Solid connections forged with City Repair.org,
an organization doing very similar work--
within which we may find mutual allies
for this mission, The Dream of Paradise.

Solid connections forged with two distinct friendships
for erection and enjoyment at medieval recreation events.
The first, Crimson Dawn, aka "Criminal Dawn" bears
a striking resemblance to a ship of eastern theme
that has been forming within the Elysian Fleet--
these new allies may be the ones we've expected.
The other ship is the recreation of the Gypsy Rose,
now referred to as the Pirate Ship, "Gypsy Roads."

Solid connections forged with a strong FriendShip
manifested as an acting troupe based in British Columbia.
(Together, we knocked the socks off the Shrewsbury Renn Faire
regulars with our performance as Pirates of the Meditation.)

The Elysian Teahouse has gained some dedicated regulars
from amongst the VIP's of the medieval recreation arenas.
In a largely word of mouth business, that amounts to a lot.

Through the event, Metapoeisis, contact was made with
very strong circles throughout the NorthWest including:
CultureSeed.org, the Open Heart Cafe, City Repair,
Pirates of the Meditation, Gaia Tribe, and NW 604.

The Post event potluck went very well for Goa Gil, PDX 2006.
Within a circle, the people who assisted in event organization
broke bread with each other and the celebrated DJ Yogi from India,
there with his beloved wife, Arianne. In this space, most were able
to be themselves and appreciate that which we had created...
to carry it on in good memories for the future.

Strong connections forged within the NW electronic music arena.
Many DJ's from the region have expressed interest in the dream of paradise.
This will aid us in the mission of creating a festival to bring many of the themes
that are now popular into one "non-period specific" fantasy/sci-fi themed party.
The name of this nomadic event, dedicated to creating mobile eco-villages,
also known as "temporary autonomous zones" has yet to be determined.

The status of Maitreya Eco-village is suspended within paradise
and is currently not considered an allied circle of Elysium.

Negotiatons are underway to establish an office for
the alliance of that which we are in Malibu and in Hawaii.
This could serve as a winter location for those of us who choose
to remain actively pursuing the dream all year round. Doors are opening
which could lead to connections for producing multimedia on the scale
of all that we are has been leading up to.

To get involved, decide your area of most interest,
and let it be knowne...for the benefit of All.

More to come--so stay tuned.

The Grace Accord

The Grace Accord

We shall not leave our allies out in the cold without due and thorough process.

In every conflict we shall remember our love for each other keeps us united.

We shall not mislead our allies to ends unsupportive of the greater good.

In every situation we shall seek the path of least resistance and trauma.

For the sake of imperfect memory, we shall encourage written agreements.

We shall always attempt to diffuse the bomb first--lest it blow up in our faces.

It has begun. US citizens involved in peaceful

their culture and political beliefs. Whether or not
you agree with these people's lifestyles and values,
you must at least agree with their right to assemble

"Since 1972 people from all over the US and the world make a trek to the National Forests for something called "The Gathering Of The Tribes" to express activism mixed with alternative spiritual practices and prayer.

The Bush Administration has spent millions of dollars trying to stop the Rainbow Gatherings. 500 people who have been issued citations, are then being herded into "trials" like none anyone has seen before in America.

These pseudo trials are likely prototypes for what Homeland Security will use in the cases of insurrection or even a plague. Defendants inexplicably lose the right to a public hearing (this year these hearings are being held behind closed doors in a firehouse garage near the site.)

Attorneys and legal observers have been denied the right to even view these trials. The defendants are not explained their rights nor afforded the right to an attorney, the right to summon witnesses, the right to a jury trial, even fresh water!

We must understand that if these citizens lose their constitutional right to gather, we all lose such rights. This year the Rainbow Gathering is being used to set precedents that will be turned against drug policy, civil liberty, anti-war or other activists in the near future. Phone Numbers and A list Of Actions You Can Take Are listed at the end of the full story posted below and marked with **asterisks**."

These are the people with whom we jam, dance and party! These are our friends!!!

reading & book signing for "Doing Nothing: A History of Loafers,
Loungers, Slackers, and Bums in America"
Tuesday, June 27th at 7 pm
at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)

Couch potatoes, goof-offs, freeloaders, laggards, idlers, and
shirkers: ever since the Industrial Revolution, when the work ethic
was formed, there has been a chorus of individuals ridiculing the
pretensions of hardworking respectability. "Doing Nothing: A History
of Loafers, Loungers, Slackers, and Bums in America" is Tim Lutz's
story of the layabouts who stretch and yawn while the rest of society
worries and sweats.

Tom Lutz's previous books include "Crying: A Natural and Cultural
History of Tears," "American Nervousness," and "1903: An Anecdotal
History."

Author events are free and are sponsored by The Booksmith (1644
Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call
415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com If you can't attend this
event and would like to order a signed copy of the author's new book,

# Critical Mass - Friday 6/30 6pm Justin Herman Plaza: Market @
Embarcadero
http://critical-mass.org Bring bicycle, helmet, light, costume, music...
Maybe we can encourage the people who block cross traffic to:
wait until the mass arives at that intersection, so as to offend as
few drivers as possible.
Definitely hold up / wait before blocking major intersections.
BECAUSE
It would be nice to be visible to as many pedestrians and motorists
as possible while
offending/ delaying as few motorists as possible.
Pissing them off is just gonna make them anti-bike.

These flowers thrive in sunny locations. The seeds are from our
flowers which have started producing seeds.

Bring your own bag or we'll also have some zip lock bags available.
Donations are welcomed.

ABOUT the Almost Eden Garden http://www.almosteden.org

# July 2006 is the month to Bring the War Home to cities across the
nation with Direct Action and Civil Disobedience to shut down all
metropolitan
areas. Then organizers from around the world will converge on DC August
10th through the 14th to confront the true war machine.

SHUT DOWN DC: August 10th through 14th, 2006. There will be massive
decentralized direct action against all government and corporate
entities.

The vast majority of government and corporate war profiteers are based
in DC, and its time they experience war first hand. Let's bring the
war to
their homes, their offices, their parties and everywhere else they go.

As long as there is a war abroad, we must also have a war at home. With
the Iran war looming, the Iraq war lingering, and dozens of other wars
raging, it is long past time to bring the war home.

With thousands expected to descend on our fair city, mass housing, free
vegan food, and a convergence space will all be available. Mark your
calendars, tell your friends, plan to come to DC August 10th through
14th, 2006.

More information and details will be coming, and our website should be
up soon. Keep checking back for more details. In the meantime email

# Reclaim Our Fate! Climate, Energy and Global Justice * Sun July 9:
DC teach-in / concert / spokescouncil!
Reclaim Our Fate!
Climate, Energy, and Global Justice A FREE half-day Teach-In,
followed by Spokescouncil and Benefit Concert

Join activists speaking out on the Climate Change and Energy

Crises! As Global Justice movements plan worldwide protests opposing
the July 15-17 2006 G8 Summit in Russia -- where world leaders
including President Bush will meet for "energy security"
consultations that threaten the Earth and people everywhere with
economic and ecological disaster -- we gather to reclaim the debate &
our fate from corporate domination by the Group of 8! SUNDAY July
9th, noon-midnight (doors open 11:30 am -- see schedule below)
at the People's Media Center and AlFishawy Cafe 4132 Georgia
Avenue, NW Washington DC (between Upshur & Taylor, 3 blocks North of
Petworth metro Station on the green line, Bus #70/71/62/64) 12

Climate Catastrophe. Presented by Climate Crisis Coalition and Rising
Tide North America

www.rtc.revolt.org and e-mail reclaimthecommons@gmail.com for more
details *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AND AFTER THE TEACH-IN!! 6-midnight ** $5 vegetarian dinner-n-
drink ( No Alcohol )
6:30 pm**Action Spokescouncil meeting for DC Week of Resistance to
the G8 ** 8-midnight **Benefit concert for "Green Scare" imprisoned
environmental activists and for the July 15th International Day of
Direct Action against Climate Change ** OPEN TO ALL! With Mosquito
Death Squadon (art/experimental rock) and more bands TBA $5
donation suggested-no one turned away.

** The Green Scare is a federal round-up environmental and animal
rights activists, which The National Lawyer's Guild among others has
condemned as unconstitutional. Officially called "Operation
Backfire", this wide-scale orchestrated investigation of activists
uses paid informants, warrantless spying on a range of organizations,
and threats of severe sanctions to leverage fear of conviction under
unprecedented penalties for property crimes. 888-NLG-ECOLAW is a
hotline established to support these activists. Visit
www.greenscare.org for more info on solidarity with Green Scare
victims. **
** The G8, or Group of 8, is the seven wealthiest industrialized
nations in the world plus Russia. They officially meet once a year to
strategize policies and plan their joint domination of the world, and
in recent years have been confronted by intense popular
demonstrations wherever they go. The political heads of these
countries -- the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy,
Russia, Japan -- are pushing the agenda of corporate globalization at
the cost of the welfare of the people they claim to represent. We
take to the streets when the G8 meets to reject their worldview of
profit at any cost, and to reclaim our commons of autonomous
political space. Authentic democracy or corporate oligarchy? The
choice is ours... **

# National Nude Recreation Week is July 10-16 2006
If we were meant to be naked, we would be born that way.
Naked people do not support sweat shops or use nuclear energy and
phosphates washing their clothes.
Naked people are closer to nature, and take better care of their
environment.
Naked people are not hiding anything.
