It seems that it's been longer than May 7th of last year when I was here last, but so much has gone on. Quite a number of us, me included, suffered from a massive burnout, mostly overwork. Good workaholic that he is, Roy kept on going by doing some writing about channeling, but everyone else except Llam needed to throw in the towel. This was kind of a shame because I had some new things to say about the Telepathy Experiment, but in a way it's good I put it off. Even better things have occured. But before I get going I'm going to be putting up a few pictures - if I remember how! - that some of us did since last May. I think a couple may have been done before that but whaddoo I know? I'm an archon.
Anyway, we've had a number of spectacular "incidental" occurances of telepathy between Members. god small g was on the IM with Roy and he mentioned how he had hurt his arm while practicing a Prokofiev piano sonata and Roy picked up on it immediately, telling him it was just below the elbow on his right arm. god small g freaked because it was, and a little later in the same chat Roy asked if his brother Logan had a cold. g didn't know but it turned out that he did. Another cool incidental was when Roy got in touch with Shiberoth by e-mai, telling him about a song about the Yezidis and giving him a link to a website by the Yezidis themselves. btw it's http://www.yeziditruth.org When Shiberoth wrote back he said that he'd been reading about them. Now, we rarely hear from Shiberoth; if you wanna call this a coinkydink, go right ahead. Telepathy works!, I'm tellin ya.
The other bit of news concerns mortal human consciousness. This is opposed, I guess, to immortal human consciousness like my own, floating around the cosmos. Studies about consciousness - what it is and where it is in the brain - have lkong occupied some of the mortal and immortal Members of the Outlands Community for a while. We recently got ahold of Susan Blackmore's excellent "Conversations on Consciousness" in which she interviewed quite a number of psychologists, biologists and neuroscientists about the subject at hand. All agree on one thing: it's somewhere in your head. We of the Outlands Community disagree. Your consciousness uses your brain, but it doesn't live there. You could think of your brain as being simialr to a radio or television that picks up signals. Only, it's picking up YOU. This would go a long way toward explaining how telepathy works; it's not one brain contacting another, it's one consciousness attracting another.
