What if Terence Mckenna is right, and the final frontier really is in
our heads? What if UFOs are just xtra-dimensional agents from the
future? Is there really heaven or hell? Will our DNA eventually explode?

Who sent you here?

Or our heads are already -in- the final frontier, and the boundaries
have changed from what they were believed to be. Be very careful on that
one. It is another common trap that people fall into.

Where are the hypothetical extra dimensional Atlantean agents from the
future, as they try to save their empire from its immanent destruction ?
Are they inside Zack's head or outside Zack's head and does Zack really
know for sure ? That's the question he has to decide.

How would you decide it ?

I'm not anything officially. I try to avoid being official.

As for trips, they always get cancelled by "circumstances beyond our
control". Sort of similar to "we interrupt this broadcast... stay tuned
to your local station" as the local goes off the air into a screen full
of snow and rastor patterns....

I don't even turn the local station on anymore. No point tuning in to
anything local anymore. It's a blank screen.



> will have 'program' at some near future date...please coordinate with ZA time..

One can fill the available drive space with purely subsequently useless
programming.... even though the programming is extremely sophisticated
and complicated, even very esoteric and exotic. It is a reflection of a
lot else in the societies we live in. The filling of drive space with
what turns out to be difficult to acquire, torturous and costly in many
ways, and then utterly useless. On to the next program,....

> yawn...

It is sometimes only meant to tire one out.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The illusion that it leads to something better is always there,
but that is the carrot on the stick being dangled in front of the
proverbial jackass. Get through this program, and that program,
and the other program, and you get.... another carrot on another
stick. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's a horror flick. You know ?

Morpheal, the dimension of hope does not include your fantasy. horror.
the webcast is NOT 'tune out' media. it has no agenda, other than to
uplift. no financial gain is yet envisaged. but if sponsors come along,
well and good...it means they want to position themselves alongside me.

I'm saying that not only would you have to invest in specialised caching
and dedicated loadbearing streaming equipment costing millions, you
would also need a huge chunk of bandwidth..so the message is; "don't try
this at home folks"...

No doubt. For you it might still be possible.

i'll check this out and pass it on to our group. meanwhile please read this.
it's not spam, we're into this stuff.

With apologies for intruding on any discussions in progress, I'd like to
invite you and any of your friends to join an exciting and growing
community.

Before you hit "delete" - stop - We don't want your money. Ever. We're not
trying to sell you anything other than ourselves as friends and companions

You hear the word "community" an awful lot on the internet, but what does it
mean? Is it a group of customers all using the same ISP? AOL commercials
want me to think so. Is a community a new term for a place of employment?
Does it describe all subscribers to a particular magazine?

To our small yet strong community at Tetrica.com (formerly known as Project
Mayhem), we think a community goes beyond any of that. A community online
should be held to the same standards of one in the real world. In real life,
you know your next-door neighbors, you know the kids down the street, the
owner of the corner store. Your kids attend the same schools. You might have
a neighborhood watch program in place, some sort of group behavior to
support the individual members.

For a year and a half we've been trying to build a community online, one
that flies in the face of traditional "interest groups" by *not* being
focused around one central issue, topic of interest, or hobby activity. We
like science - but we don't all study the same kinds. We talk politics, but
we certainly don't all agree. We like computers and network technology, but
not all of us are aspiring IT professionals. Basically, we support the
notion that a synthesis of clashing opinions and perspectives might find
solutions and understandings better than a group of drones with their heads
already pointed in the same direction.

We support - and display - diversity in our membership. We're an
international group and have all benefited as a result of hearing from and
learning about the thoughts and ways of people who come from different
places and lifestyles.

Our focus is on the future, and how to build a better one. For ourselves, of
course, but for the whole world as well. Our thought is that even if you
can't make a difference, better to spend a lifetime trying than to give up
without ever taking your shot.

So who are your "neighbors", your fellow "tribesmen" in cyberspace? If you
don't already have a quick answer to this question, we want you to take a
chance and see what we have to offer. There is no cost, no membership fees,
no "mandatory donations". The cost is a piece of your attention and
commitment - the scarcest thing in this time of abundance. We have skilled
neighbors already waiting to welcome you aboard. We have 600 MB of web space
and the ability to host any web pages the world deserves to look at. We have
designers, writers, artists, all sorts of experts who can give you a hand.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher
a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,
build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders,
cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects." -- Robert A. Heinlein
