AUTHOR SAYS "ET SOULS" HAVE ROLE IN EARTH'S FUTURE
CNI News Interviews Dr. Scott Mandelker, Ph.D.
        ... Now we're talking the metaphysics of the
       densities, saying the earth is moving into the 
      level associated with the heart center: love, compassion, 
     understanding, self-acceptance, acceptance of others. 
    This is what Heaven's Gate was talking about, the level 
   above human -- saying that this planet is moving to a level 
  above human, the next evolutionary kingdom. Jesus said the 
 kingdom of heaven.... I would be very, very surprised if we 
don't have a major discontinuous event fifteen years from now.

[...]

This is the return of the kingdom of heaven to come, the 
kingdom of souls, heaven on earth.... What's important [now], 
really, is the pure desire to live in the truth, to develop 
the potentials of the total self, to truly throw one's will on 
the side of self-unfoldment and development of consciousness. 
That is the guarantee of peace, happiness and achievement.

Really?

What was the question again?

   "What role did Mark Twain play 
  in the closing chapter 
of the Heaven's Gate cult?" 
www.boondocksnet.com/twainwww/essays/heavens_gate9704.html

That was the opening question in "Twain, Comets and the 
Cost of Eternity," an April 6, 1997, article in the San 
Francisco Chronicle written by Don Lattin, its religion 
writer who has been following the story about the 
ritualistic mass suicide by members of the cult.

According to Lattin, Bufo Calvin, identified as 
"a contributing editor to 'Strange' magazine and 
creator of the 'Bufo's Weird World' newsletter," 
has suggested that some of the cult members had a 
$5 bill and three quarters in their pockets because 
Twain "once wrote that the fare to get to heaven on 
the tail of a comet was $5.75."

Lattin's attempts to verify the quote before press time, 
which included contacting me as well as others with 
Twain-related web sites, proved unsuccessful.  He nevertheless 
continued in the article by suggesting other possible angles 
through which Twain might have been connected.  The mass 
suicide occurred while the Halle-Bop comet was visible in the 
sky, so Twain's own affinity to Halley's Comet, which appeared 
in the years of Twain's birth and death, was notable.  So, too, 
was the fact that Twain's character had appeared in two 
episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation -- cult members 
were "devoted fans" of the show, according to Lattin.

Shortly after the article appeared, Lattin made further 
inquiries based on someone's suggestion that the $5.75 
was connected to a Twain story called "Capt. Brassbrown's 
Conversion" that I have never heard of and could not find 
listed in anthologies of his published works.

We may never know whether or not the final behavior of 
members of the cult was inspired by something Twain wrote, 
but I think it is fascinating that he has been connected to 
it through speculative reports.  Most reports on Heaven's Gate 
that I've seen have understandably distanced it from the 
mainstream of American society.  It was not a religious group 
but a "cult"; its members and their mass suicide were "strange," 
"odd," "bizarre."  Yet here is speculation that at least some of 
their behavior may have been inspired by an American 
icon -- to many, the American icon.

I don't think Twain would mind the association, and he might 
very well have understood the group better than we do.  
"I have studied the human race with diligence and strong 
interest all these years in my own person," he wrote in his 
autobiography; "in myself I find in big or little proportion 
every quality and every defect that is findable in the mass 
of the race."  That range of qualities and defects, as well 
as the tremendous diversity of his life and work, is what 
makes him such an effective mirror of American society.

MARS - ARTHUR C. CLARKE SAYS, "MARS HAS VEGETATION"
 Arthur C. Clarke says, "Mars has a case of the munchies. 
That is, the red planet is spotted with vegetation with 
some sort of life feasting on the foliage." The noted 
sci-fi writer and space visionary, made the claim during 
the 2nd annual international conference on the space elevator, 
held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sir Arthur beamed into the 
gathering by satellite link on September 13, 2003.  When asked 
what destination he'd like to travel to via the space elevator, 
Clarke said he was "ready and willing" to journey to the red 
planet.  "Mars is the obvious place," Clarke said. "I'm now 
quite convinced that Mars is infested with life. Mars orbiter 
photographs show huge areas of vegetation. I don't think there's 
any doubt anymore on that. And where there's vegetation, there 
will be something nibbling on it," he said. Just as the audience 
was chewing on Clarke's Mars life view, he added yet another bit 
of speculative advice -- this time on cold fusion. "It's not 
cold. It's not fusion. It may be tepid fission or something," 
Clarke said. "Don't laugh; but there's something going on there."

	"The three flavors of quarks--up, down and strange--would
	also come in three different colors--red, white, and blue.
	[...] Murray [Gell-Mann] picked the arbitrary labels in honor
	of the French flag. [...] The metaphor seemed even more elegant
	after Murray's colors were replaced with the labels that
	came to predominate, the primary colors of light: red, green,
	and blue. On a TV screen, the three mixed to form colorless
	'white' light."  STRANGE BEAUTY, Murray Gell-Mann and the

	"In the 19th century, Mendeleev's classification of the known 
	chemical elements led to the prediction of the existence and 
	some of the properties of new elements, and was later explained 
	by the electron-nucleus structure of atoms. Similarly the 
	structure of the eightfold way predicted the existence of new 
	particles; in particular one named Omega, with strangeness -3. 
	This could only decay relatively slowly by the weak interaction
	and hence would leave a track in a bubble chamber. Its discovery 
	at Brookhaven was a triumph of the theory, whose underlying group 
	structure suggested the idea of quarks, peculiar hypothetical 
	objects with fractional charge. In 1969, at the age of 40, 
	[Murray] Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize for his 
	contributions to the classification of elementary particles and 
	their interactions." --P Kalmus
