Hi out there,

It's me again.

The time has come when I have stopped asking for a "net.psi" and are going
to do something about it.

For too long have I listened to various complaints, both at myself and
others that net.such-and-such is not the appropriate place to discuss
certain topics.

As it turns out, there is no appropriate place.
SO I am making one.

Anyone interested in the following topics, listen up:

Ritual Magic
The esoteric
psychic phenomena
reincarnation
psionics
Other Planes
[anything else we feel like talking about]

I am forming a mail group "MAIL.PSI" for discussion of these and other
topics. If you are interested in joining, please reply (via mail) to me.
I will be coordinating it (at least for the present).

I have tried for the past three monthes to form a net-group "NET.PSI"
It has been shot down each time. Reason: No proof of sufficent volume of
material.

Well, my site supervisor said that if a mailing group has enough members
and enough volume, a new newsgroup may be started.

Thus I am starting said mailing-group.
It is open to anyone who wants to **seriously** discuss the above topics.
Skeptics and questioners are welcome, but no hecklers please.
Also, I would like to keep flames to a minimum.
One thing I have learned in my long time on this topic is that everyone
has different definitions for things, even if they agree on what's actually
being said! Anyway, I think this is a much needed place for us to talk
about all those topics no-one else wants us to talk about.

Please reply to me (via mail) ASAP. I will compile names and get the group
mailing list started.

Thanx for your attention.

I don't have a path for you so I'm replying to the net.

Count me in.

This might as well go to net.news.group too, since that's how such
matters are done.

The DrivelNet has needed a net.psi for years. How do you suppose
Mr. Gwyn feels having net.sci filled with parapsychology debates?
We must purge heretical doctrines from techie sanctuaries so that
scientismo-behaviorrhea may wax eternally!

Would you expose your Science fearing, calculator wielding progeny
to the influence of mystics, psychokineticists, 60's burnouts,
astral geometers, Seth enthusiasts, Santa Cruz metaphysicians,
Bohmian holists, and psychotronic vibrationists? Of course not!

Here are three votes for net.psi -- counting Sunny, that's four.

Kierkegaard identified faith with "subjectivity", a subjectivity
that is the dialectical negation of the "objectivity" that has
progressively and decisively evolved in history. The act of faith
is a reversal of profane history.
