And another thing ... Whatever happened to the "real soon now" announcement that Firmage promised by scientists in cutting edge government labs that gravity can be engineered, that they were just polishing up the loose ends on their paper before releasing it? Was this another cold fusion-style hoax? -- Joseph Parmigiano 9/22/99 (#12)

Firmage "contact" nothing new The "contact" Mr. Firmage had is a classic "hypnopompic" experience, occurring between sleep and waking. Thousands of people have had similar experiences. The "entities" tap directly into the subconscious AND conscious minds of the percipients and tell them what they want to hear, often sending them on ego-driven, "Messianic" missions to spread "the word." "The word" is often their own wishful thinking. -- Lance Winkler (Oakwoodreg@aol.com ) 9/21/99 (#11)
