Is it free somewhere?

Well, I think his original point was more to do with the unfortunate incompatibility of the hardcore nuts-and-bolts type of mindset and the new-agey 'it's all spiritual' mindset, both of which are kind of 'blinders'. I didn't interpret the original pastiche of the new ager smoking pot as...

This thread seems like much ado about nothing, or at least a bunch of crossed-lines. Mr. Biedny said already that a.) it was only 2 of the 3 witnesses who mentioned being on mescaline, b.) he clearly cast aspersions on the accuracy of the drug use for the viability of the story-as-evidence in...

Unfair sterotype statement from David And I happen to be a person who smokes pot but that doesn't mean I embrace "new age" philosophies! I'm offended that people who enjoy a good smoke every now and then are automatically associated with new agers! ;)

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but that one about how income tax is unconstitutional.

Thanks! Will try to contact him.

Sure. You're kind of commenting on a very small portion of my thought there, though. I never said if you're a UFO witness or contactee or whatever you should rush out and do drugs right after your UFO experience. I'm just talking about the need for more research into the effects of some...

I just listened to the Nov 19th, 2006 podcast and there was a part where guest Nicholas Redfern mentions a document or documents found in the national archives describing or mentioning a study done correlating the number of Polio outbreaks with UFO sightings. (I'm not sure for which time...

The bulk of the reading I did was about 6-7 years ago when I was studying psychology. I basically got bored in the psych library where I spent a lot of time and would look up entries in the various electronic journal databases we had. I know it sounds like a cop out, but I can't for the life...

I think I see your point. Use of mind-altering substances is an extra variable that can cause unhelpful confusion, it's true. But I think this is all the more reason we need proper research in a *controlled* setting, especially as regards DMT. It's one thing to have someone who uses such...

In the interests of clarity (since we are talking about a well-established branch of science here, ie, pharmacology), DMT is not technically a hallucinogen. It's a disassociative. Apples and oranges. I think anyone who brushes entheogenic experiences under the carpet when it comes to ufology...

Does anyone subscribe to the 'Flying Saucer Review'? Is it any good? I've heard it was great in earlier times, but I'm curious if anyone reads it regularly today and what they think...

So who uses Linux/AMD boxes, besides me? :rolleyes:

I second those who recommend Vallee's books. 'Dimensions' is excellent. 'Revelations,' even though it's the third book in his trilogy, was the first book I read on UFO's and it's a great starting place because it deals not with UFO's per se but with the various ways the phenomenon can be...

I agree Vallee's "system" is vague, but I think it's vagueness is part of its appeal (to me). I probably will horribly mangle any attempt at a synopsis (his book "Dimensions" goes into it), but the control system hypothesis basically differs from most other explanations in that it assumes the...

To distinguish between the two, Vallee proposes a "Control System Hypothesis," which is different from the "Extra-Dimensional Hypothesis" Biedny seems a proponent of. Obviously I can't speak for either- this is just how it seems to me. I'd be interested to know what Biedny thinks of Vallee's...
