This is a day of celebration of our independence from all of the
constraints that bind us in any way and do not allow us to be the
glorious beings we are meant to be. We are recommending old-fashioned
picnics in the park, family reunions and general community gatherings.
This is a day of fun and joyful events for all. Inquiries are invited
and packets are available to help you plan your day.
A wave of light from torches and other forms of light shining
skyward will proclaim our unity and Oneness before and with each
other, our elder family who has gone before us, and our Creator. The
lights will be lit at 9pm your local time sequentially around the
globe. Spirit has initiated this activity as a way of activating light
workers on the planet into a planned activity that can be networked
around the globe in a short period of time.
This global celebration is for everyone of any belief system who
believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all
planetary citizens. It does not matter which of the great spiritual
teachers a person or group follows. We are all planetary citizens.
This is an activity to help us reach out, reach up, come out of
the closet and remember our heritage and accept our destiny as global
and universal citizens under God, by whatever name the Creator is
known. We acknowledge that we belong to a greater life stream than is
visible to our normal vision. We are part of the family of man and the
family of God.
The time is past when any of Earth's citizenry can act alone
without serious consequences being shared by the totality of the
Creation. We acknowledge that there is a guiding force behind the
events that are manifesting on the planet, and they are a part of what
the prophets of old called, "the end times."
We believe at the end of "the end" times there can be peace on
Earth as man resumes his rightful place in the cosmic scheme and that
can happen now. We acknowledge that there is assistance available to
us from these higher beings. They will avail themselves to us to
assist us in healing our planet. They are not our rescuers of saviors,
but merely our elder brothers and sisters.

Antahkarana the Star People Connection will be celebrating Global
Independence Day, July 4, at Golden Gardens Park on Shilshole Bay in
Seattle, from 5:00 in the afternoon to 9:00 in the evening. This group
is dedicated to raising spiritual consciousness on Earth through
personal transformation in preparation for personal and planetary
ascension into higher vibratory realms.
Global Independence Day will be a declaration of spiritual
independence with a worldwide focus, as a natural outgrowth of the
great ideas of spiritual freedom embodied in the words of the
Declaration of Independence. This is a day of opportunity for all
people everywhere who have a commitment to spiritual freedom and love
and peace to come out of the closet, stand up, and be counted.
If you are a person who knows that you have experienced direct
communication with Angels, extraterrestrial intelligences, or one or
more ascended human teachers or prophets, but you have been hesitant
to speak openly, we want to invite you to come and join us. If you
simply love spiritual freedom, love and peace, we want to invite you
to come and enjoy yourself.
At 9:00pm we will hold a light ceremony proceeded and accompanied
by prayer and spiritual invocation. While we are conducting our
ceremonies at Golden Gardens, other groups will be holding similar
events around the world.
Proceeding the ceremonies, the gathering from 5:00 on will be a
general picnic. Bring your own food, to eat, and share, with friends
and family, and participate in games, and generally have a good old
fashioned Fourth of July. If group activities do not appeal to you,
please feel free to celebrate in your own back yard, with family and
friends.
-- ABOUT ANTAHKARANA, THE STAR PEOPLE CONNECTION --
** Statement of Purpose **
Antahkarana is an emissary to planet Earth from the Brotherhood
of Light in service to the Creator, to inform humanity concerning the
forthcoming changes and the assistance being offered by the
Brotherhood to bring peace to the planet. Antahkarana acts as a
planetary bridge to the metaphysical, spiritual, religious, business
and general communities. This bridging is to be done through the
dissemination of all available information concerning the years of
planetary and human transformation. We will be gathering and
communicating information received from the Spiritual Hierarchy,
Angelic Kingdom, and Intergalactic Confederation. We will be sharing
this information in all ways that are available to reach the general
public. We will be establishing branches of the organization globally
for these purposes.
** The Principle Purposes and Activities of Antahkarana are: **
o Star People Communication Clearinghouse
The primary method of communication used by Extraterrestrial (ET)
civilizations is mental telepathy. Today thousands of people all over
the world are receiving these "communications" through meditation,
dreams and prayer. Antahkarana serves, in part, to validate these
space messages and further communicate vital messages to our
membership, other networking centers and the general public. We are,
also, very interested in helping people learn their own discernment
process. With the tremendous wealth of information being brought to
our attention, Antahkarana is effectively an information center for
spiritual knowledge offered by advanced Extraterrestrial civilizations
to all inhabitants of planet Earth.
o Public Education and Awareness
Antahkarana conducts workshops, classes, etc. on an ongoing basis to
inform and educate the public of the existence, intentions and
activities of the Star People. We believe it is essential for Earth
People to understand why we are being visited by Extraterrestrial
beings in ever increasing numbers. Workshops and other activities are
regularly in our newsletter.
o Support Groups
We recognize that Space People contactees, and those attempting to
work with the space people, often receive no support from family,
friends and society and are often subject to ridicule and even
harassment. We seek to develop a circle of Space People activists who
can openly share their experiences in an atmosphere of trust and
openness.
o Ongoing Projects
We look forward to the time when advanced ET civilizations and their
ambassadors will be welcomed openly by an enlightened public on Earth.
To this end, we of Antahkarana are willing to undertake promising new
approaches and projects that would serve to accomplish our goals and
objectives.
** Antahkarana Members Hold a Common Belief in These Principles: **
1. The entire Universe consists of at least 12 parallel dimensions or
worlds. The untrained human is conscious of only one of these worlds.
There are various levels of spiritual development throughout the other
worlds, and discernment is very important when choosing to interact
with these beings.
2. Travel thorough Space, Time and across Worlds (transdimensional
travel) is a normal activity for advanced civilizations who are
visiting Earth.
3. We recognize that scientific and spiritual knowledge are but
different expressions of the same basic universal knowledge. We
realize that the only way to fully understand the mysteries of the
Extraterrestrial and "flying saucer" experience, as well as the origin
and destiny of life, is to incorporate both scientific and spiritual
knowledge in our work.
4. Life forms found on Earth today probably did not originate on
Earth. Earth was colonized by civilizations from other Star Systems.
The course of history on Earth has been greatly influenced by ET
civilizations dating back to antiquity.
5. The course of history is again being influenced by Star People who
are now living and working among us. Many of these beings are in
prominent social positions to aid in bringing in the New Age of Peace
and Enlightenment and to prevent the destruction of Earth before a
higher Cosmic Plan can be reached.
6. Spiritual and social knowledge on Earth has not kept pace with
scientific development. The people of Earth do not possess the wisdom
necessary to ensure survival into the 21st century. It is, therefore,
essential for the masses on Earth to willingly accept the assistance
offered by these advanced civilizations who are of a higher spiritual
order.

Goedel proved the round trip is possible and that closed time loops are

M.S. Morris and Kip Thorne proved that the Uncertainty Principle allows one to

So the Time Traveller's Paradox has been resolved and time travel is possible.

Since it is true and you obviously never heard of it, then you couldn't have
possibly heard of it if it were true.
References? A physics text.
Goedel's solution to Einstein's Field Equations involving closed time loops is
well-known and is standard fare of any course in General Relativity.
Better yet, go to the library and look in the author index under Goedel.
To the best of my knowledge Goedel is the first to ever successfully prove
the consistency of time travel with the currently known laws of Physics.
It's only fitting and proper that would have been him.
He died not too long after that. So you might say it was Goedel's Last
Theorem.

It's a fact. I would know, Morris did his research here, I talked to him, I
read the papers myself. It got wide airplay in the news 2 or 3 years ago. It
was on one of BBC Radio's science shows (though they screwed up the name of
this university calling it Milwaukee University, those dweebs). Save yourself
an extra trip to the library and look this up too. I think you'll find the
published papers in Nature and Phys Rev Letters.
You might do well to pick up Carl Sagan's book, Contact, since both it and
the research were written at the same time and based on one another. Sagan's
book was the original impetus for the research, and the refinements in the
book over time reflected the progress of the research itself.
The purpose of the research was precisely what this article would imply:
namely, to prove that it was possible for an sufficiently advanced
extra-terrestial civilization to engage in time-travel.
Then again, BBC, Nature, Phys Rev, Goedel, Carl Sagan, Contact, and the entire
20th Century could all be rumors too.
Einstein showed that the temporal component of the velocity vector, call it u,
satisfied the 4-dimensional analogue to the Pythagorean theorem:
u^2 - v^2 = 1 minute/minute
where v is the spatial component of the velocity (in ratio to light speed).
That's way moving objects have slower time along your time axis (and you along
theirs).
Thorne also demonstrated by a rather simple construction that these solutions
were, counter to expectation, near Classical solutions and could therefore
be given much more familiar Classical interpretations.
They are called 'glancing blow' solutions. The 'glancing blow' idea resolved
the Time Traveller's Paradox as follows: a person who goes back in time and
attempts to kill her prior self with a gun will only succeed in injuring her
and causing her brain damage because of the inability to properly aim the gun
due to brain damage caused by the prior gunshot wound now being inflicted on
herself.

Could this be an explanation of "alternate universes" and "parallel
universes"? Hmmm...interesting. Perhaps when we die, to "change
vibration" (as some texts say) would be to have one's soul become virtual
particles. If you get my drift...

Is this because of local gravitational field disturbance caused by
your equipment, or by local objects surrounding you?

I'm not sure I understand the theoretical implications of Hawking's
theory (the guy is a fucking genius, after all), but it seems to me
that if closed timelike curves existed, and could be proven to exist,
that they would HAVE to exist in our universe. "Anything not prohibited
is compulsory." :)

Roughly speaking, the problem is this. Imagine an almost closed
timelike curve, i.e., a curve that passes through a large number of
different but nearby points in space at the same time. A particle
moving along such a path will produce a very large gravitational
field, since multiple copies will exist at the same time; in the
limit of a _closed_ timelike curve, there will be infinitely many
copies. Classically, this is not an unsurmountable problem ---
nothing requires that any particle be trapped on a closed timelike
curve --- but quantum mechanically, "virtual particles" will always
be there.
Hawking's conclusion (which is based on a much more rigorous argument
than this) is that if you try to form a "time machine," gravitational
disruptions of spacetime in the neighborhood of your lab will prevent
you from succeeding. The question is still being debated, and it
will probably be some time yet before it's settled.
(Of course, even if closed timelike curves are shown to be consistent,
this doesn't guarantee that they'll exist in _our_ universe, but that's
a separate question.)

car...@dirac.ucdavis.edu
I am no expert, but my reading of the situation is far from as certain as yours.
So far as I understand, it requires so much energy density to warp space
enough to produce a closed timelike loop that the entire region of space-time
collapses into a black hole. That's not a very useful time machine, even
if it holds up theoretically, given the test of time.

Godel proved that this was only possible if you have a closed and bounded
space-time, which is fairly unlikely.
I should have been more precise in what I said, what I meant was that
travelling to the non-causal future or past is certainly impossible.

That's indeed better. I found that he proved that Einstein's equations
don't forbid time travel (in the usual meaning: including loops).
That doesn't mean it's *possible*. He proved there are formal
solutions, but not that such solutions can exist in this universe.
So, it *was* a rumor, but a young one (one or two steps from the
source and already misrepresented). If you had said: "Goedel proved
the round trip *could be* possible, *given general relativity*, and
that *some* closed time loops are logically consistent," I wouldn't
have said anything.
(I didn't look up Morris and Thorne.)
And Morris and Thorne proved, by construction, that it can happen regardless.
It is certainly NOT impossible.
You should better say: "we don't know if it's impossible."
Just because somebody showed that this time travel doesn't
contradict Physical Law No.34, you can't say it's *possible*!
You keep blowing up results and generating rumors.
If you look in G. Naber's book 'Spacetime and Singlarities' (publ. CUP, LMS
lecture notes series) you will see proven the following theorem:
Theorem:
If M is a space-time then M admits closed time-like paths if and only if M is
compact
and compact <=> closed and bounded, so unfortunately it is impossible.
Here is another thought, though - say you are moving on a closed time-like path
- then you are not travelling in time in the sense of being able to take an
excursion to another epoch and then return happily to your own. This is
because the path is closed, and hence it is impossible to leave said path, or
indeed to actually ever get onto it from another path.
I.e. it is certainly impossible to either joint or leave a closed path at any
point.

And as a further followup, how is it possible to move into (say) the acausal
future without moving outside your forward light-cone at some point?

I'm sure that by "telephatic message" he meant that even though HE know he
can't send ones, he made his "thoughts" formulated as if he was saying
words in his head, and if BY CHANCE there happened to be a alien, be it
green or whatever, who happened to have telephatic powers and "read"
peoples mind, then the alien could have catched it.
Pretty useless, IMHO. I've done it also.

Thanks John. "love and good will" is content. I don't mean to be trite here,
but could she have sent "the car broke down 25 miles south of Snowville,
would you call a tow-truck for me?"
I've had people get in touch with me telepathically - very close friends -
at points of crisis when they did need help. The messages were quite garbled
- I'd wake up for instance in a cold sweat, knowing that my friend was in a
crisis - and then get a phone call a little later which explained it all.
Another friend knows when I want to talk to her. She'll often phone at such
points when I consciously ask her to (telepathically). What I'd like to do
is understand this phenomenon better.
So far it seems to me that it is fairly easy to communicate emotions,
especially when they are strong, telepathically. The communication of ideas
and thoughts though, appears more difficult. I have heard it said that one
can communicate pictures sometimes, and that if you want to get an idea
across to someone clearly, visualize it and then attempt a telepathic
transfer - i.e. the 'funnel technique'. In the above example, if I wished to
call for help I would form a clear mental picture of the problem (broken
car) and the location (picture the map) and the request (make a phone call).
One more thought on the 'trite' aspect. I am aware that there is room for
abuse in 'playing' with powerful forces that are not well understood. I'm
interested in any observations anyone might have on this topic.
I don't want to end up playing with something dangerous but some of my
far-away friends don't have e-mail (alas) and long distance telephony is
horribly expensive. :-)

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash
is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash
stuff, then, when some comes up, act like they just woke up and go,
"What, was THAT?!"

that's AMAZING! Kumar has been appearing in MY dreams too! though in the
guise of a shoe salesman trying to sell filet mignon to sandinista rebels
with inflamed salvatory glands!!
what could this mean?
I think it means you need to lay off the medication for a few weeks.
(BTW - John Winston has been appearing in my dreams too. He is usually
wearing leather and has a Golden retreiver and about 10 containers of
whipped cream with him. Scares the shit out of me).

weird:- fortune destiny; the fates, the three goddesses of destiny;
an event destined to happen; an omen; mysterious saying;
someone with supernatural skill or knowlege; having the power
to control the destiny of men; troublesome mystrious harmfull;
weird strange uncanny; ordain by fate; assign a specific fate or
fortune to; warn ominously !!!.
whatever the negative energy you were getting was not coming from me.
my side of the story is unfortunate - i ended up falling into a deep
sleep during my meditation which is unusual, but i think it may have
to do with the rum and pepsi i had! oops. didn't think it would
be that influential. so i didn't see anything consciously - if
something happened in my dreams then i don't remember it.
(this next has nothing to do w/ sci.skeptic so skip it if you
don't care about my dream that morning)
i sure had a really cool dream that morning - all of it was
underwater in the ocean - i had apparently fallen from a great
distance and in the dream i was worried about having enough
air to get to the top without getting the bends. but it
ended up being a lucid dream (pretty common for me), and i
somehow managed to rebreathe the air or breathe the water or
something and found huge bubbles just floating around under
the water that i could take breaths from. i wasn't panicked,
in fact it was really relaxing. i woke up before i got to
the surface but i was definitely getting there. the other
neat thing was i had no goggles but could see perfectly, and
the water was this beautiful azure blue. i didn't see any
other life, though. it was kinda like being in a huge
swimming pool.
so anyway, i don't think i ended up with any evidence for or
against anything except that if you want to meditate for
longer than 10 minutes or so, don't drink a whole bunch of
alcohol, if any. :)
it would be nice to try it again. this time i think i should
give a description of myself or at least my surroundings and
whereabouts to attempt to clarify where to "go."
i'm going to mexico on the 30th and i won't be back until
that monday night. so if you want to try it again, you
will have to keep in mind where i am.
also i have a request: do you think you could PLEASE change
your subject lines so they have something to do with what
you're saying? it doesn't require that much effort and it
will keep people like me from killing your replies 'cos the
subject line is of a thread they aren't interested in.
i had to read cary's account to get your post about wed. night
because i had killed that thread.

Now this is good...From now on when I call someone and the line is busy...
I'll send them a telepathic message. Why do I get the feeling you believe
you've talked to Elvis in your local K-mart?
Now kids...Pay attention, By smoking some weird foreign substance, you too
can post weird messages.

How does this astral travel work, i.e., "you think" you hooked up
with E? Are you in a fog?

Just curious, how can this guy be perceived as handsome, when you
are not even sure who you hook up with?

Maybe you were hooked-up with sannon and didn't know it?
Is LSD a prerequisite to astral travel? How much is taken?
I'm curious 'cause your report sounds disjointed and rather vague.
Thanks
P.S. No thanks on the astral offer. If you don't even know who
you are traveling with, you could run into some astral thugs,
unless of course thugs don't travel astral.

As much an accomplishment as interstellar subhyperastral travelling may
be, the Antahkaranians cannot be *that* highly advanced-- their e-mail
messages always seems to be limited to exactly one screenful. Perhaps
their terminal emulators don't implement scrolling..? I know, I bet
they still use those old storage-tube displays, heh, heh.
Just imagine what an absolute *pain* it would be to mail an
Ant'an binaries-- having to split your uuencoded file into 20-line
chunks <shudder>. Remind me *never* to let one of these guys beta-test
for me! On the other hand, I suppose that by now they must have
developed some pretty neat shell scripts to do this sort of stuff.
They *do* use UNIX, don't they, John?

Brilliant. Sounds like one of those statements you hear from
astrologers with which at least 95% of the population will agree.
(I'm not implying that the statement is false in Doug's case.)

No, John. Los Angeles only _seems_ 30,000 years old.
Part 2. J. has two friends that want to get in on this. Their names are
Allen and Bill. Some people may wonder how I'm going to get from one
place to another so fast. This Astral Convoy will be traveling at the
speed of thought.
Using what stimulants or depressants?

``Oh, we've got a great big convoy...''
you just made another one:
>of E. Shannon passed out according to the information I got from E. and
shannon did not "pass out." shannon fell asleep. shannon did not drink
enough to pass out. shannon told you this in public, right here on
sci.skeptic and shannon would appreciate it if you (and others) would
pay attention.
>wasn't aware of anything. We don't know whether Shannon is a girl or boy
shannon is not a "girl or boy;" shannon is a "man or woman," thank you.
>but we don't want to ask because Shannon will think we're trying to cheat.
you obviously don't know what shannon will think because this is incorrect.
shannon did not realize some did not know what sex s/he was and thought it
would be interesting to see if anyone could tell. that is all.
i don't recall having talked down to you or even about you (surprisingly
enough) as you have to me. i felt i needed to correct this in public as
you seem to be fond of posting personal correspondence to the net and
so that you won't perpetuate incorrect ideas about me. funny, this
wasn't the impression i got from you before i entered into this little
adventure in Astro-land.
is there a reason you are nice to me in e-mail and rude in public?
(don't need to sign this one do i?)
