 From 1996 on I believed that I could communicate with
the sun by thinking a question at it and then divining
the answer by perineum click divination.   However i
don't think this ever worked and I have, as of last night,
given up on this perineum click divination, including
that I will ignore spontaneous clicks.

But anyway, if you think you have some telepathic
ability, could you try communicating with the
sun, and ask it when I will come out of the low
years, and then report back here.   Of course you
may have your own questions to ask the sun as well.

Note that when I was admitted to hospital following
my sun stare, somebody had left the book Rogue Star,
one of the three books of The Starchild Trilogy by
Fred Pohl and Jack Williamson, in the dresser
drawer.   The book was about intelligent stars.

Probably an example of synethesia, where the impulses generated as your
optic nerve was frazzled got misdirected into the part of your brain
responsible for communication. Presumably the part of the brain that
provides commonsense (which precludes staring at the sun) was damaged
during some previous experiment.

LOL.  Reading his original message, I was unsure whether it was some sort of elaborate joke or if he was a netloon I had not previously seen.  Based on his other messages, including his response to you, it appears to be the latter.  Another invitee to the kook party!

Full disclosure: I've used a couple of different telescopes (a 50mm refractor and a 6" Newtonian) to look at the sun.  But I had common sense, and wasn't trying to commune, just looking at sunspots using the projection method.
