I believe the sun is conscious and that I communicated

  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!

I take it you are on sci.skeptic .   My goal in posting
there was mainly to reach other kooks who post there,
though I did expect some flamage from non-kooks such
as you.   And I am surprised you have not previously
seen me since I have been on Usenet for over 20 years.

Yes, I'm reading this on sci.skeptic.  You seem to be continuing the theme a bit long for a simple joke or trolling thread, but I guess that's just being extra effective.  You took me in with the later posts, so I bow in your general direction.

Just note something that I've found over the years.  No matter how ludicrous the position you take, or how obvious you think you're being that you aren't serious, there's someone out there who seriously believes something more ludicrous.  I've posted things that I fully intended to be taken as tongue-in-cheek, only to have some people argue furiously against me and others completely back me up.

I originally read Usenet sometime about 1993 or so---about when you started.  I posted very little then, and took a long break.  I'm not sure when I got back into it, but I've been reading and posting on and off for years, in several groups.  It's possible that I saw your posts before and simply forgot.  I seem to do more of that than I'd like.
