Poking around, many recommend "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins as a good read on the point I made earlier. <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> jQuery(".contributorChevron").css("display", "inline"); var onShow = function (i){...

I'm curious if the desire to -not- reproduce as a "choice" (for some) isn't similar to the "choice" one makes as to their true sexuality. It seems the problem is that the overwhelming need to reproduce is seen as a natural instinct and a stated "choice" by some to not reproduce is therefor...

Well, I suppose it's research-able in that everyone here has access to the same data set I used. And it is voluminous. Maybe someone else could find something I missed or could add something to it that would lend support -or- take away from the hypothesis? I think it can be both researched...

I've been pondering presenting an abduction case I've been hauling around in my "grey basket"for some time and think the Forum members examination and review may help me re-file it, one way or the other. I think it's one that would lend itself to such a thing but I'm not quite sure how to...

Robert Crumb - The Religious Experience of Philip K Dick (scribd)

Thanks for the answers. The post was written while I was still suffering the effects of exposure to a certain Harvard professor and his protege. Ugh. They're rare but I think Pascagoula would count, the Salter event, even Betty and Barney (noting that they recalled a good deal prior to...

So, if I may ask question? How does one reconcile the sometimes projected absolutism of sleep paralysis as an explanation for the phenomena with cases in which multiple witness are present, are 'non-bedroom' events, no hypnosis required, etc? Do those fall under some other catch-all explanation...

PKD - Tagore Letter (1981)

PKD - A Day in the Afterlife

Would urge all to stay away from the Generics and stick with Brand names...

Athough I'm not sure that PK Dick can be considered in the literal sense a "UFO Contactee", there is little doubt his own beliefs regarding the subject shaped his writings immensely and therefor, the rest of us. It is interesting to me that Phil's 'awakening' for lack of a better word, occurred...

This is at least the fourth or fifth time I've heard someone described both The Mantis and the clicking type noise they make. All completely unrelated. I'd really like to hear more about your story Skunkape. Is it posted somewhere? As an interesting aside (at least -I- think so), there was a...

The UFO Evidence (Vol. I) Digitized? Does anyone know if NICAPs "The UFO Evidence" (Vol. I) has been digitized? As an aside, Dick Hall sold me his copy (probably one of many, but it's a first edition). He included in the deal Keyhoe's copy, apologizing that his copy wasn't in great condition...

Do we get to wear ugly Hawaiian shirts all the time too? If so, I'm in.

What everyone before me said. Well done. I didn't see it mentioned but may have missed it. Burroughs mentions the return of the Future Visitors as occurring between 2012 and 2015, or at least a feeling of such a prophecy. A questions I would like answered is, did Penniston and others, as I...

Seconded...welcome Elfis. ~C

I'm curious Wicro, if the statement "'abductees' have a tendency to be professional, middle class white woman" is accurate since the info was taken from Baders "UFO Abduction Support Groups : Who are the Members?" according to the citation. Wouldn't the more accurate statement be "'abductees'...

Of course there's a bias. Drs. Clancy and McNally (Harvard) share the same view, and yet still cannot rationally explain away the phenomenon (not for lack of trying). The report then, in my mind, becomes a much more powerful counter to the "mental illness" dodge many cling to. One does have to...

Vinegar Tasters An excerpt from The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff "You see, Pooh," I said, "a lot of people don't seem to know what Taoism is..." "Yes?" said Pooh, blinking his eyes." So that's what this chapter is for - to explain things a bit."...
