Subject: The Prophets Conference - Port Townsend


The Prophets Conference ~ Port Townsend, taking place the
weekend of August 27-29 in the idyllic and picturesque setting
of Port Townsend, Washington, is bringing together an
extraordinary group of visiting faculty to explore two main
themes: =93The UFO: Anomaly, Reality, Implications=94 and =93Evoking
the Numinous: A Path of Revelation, Evolution, Awakening.=94 

One of the mind opening conference presenters is the =91erudite,
witty, and genuinely scary,=92 Robert Anton Wilson, who will be
joining Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Joe Firmage, Dr. Jack Sarfatti, Joan
Ocean, and Dr. Steven Greer on the UFO panel. Wilson will also
be presenting an individual teaching during this historic event
entitled, =93There=92s a Seeker Born Every Minute,=94 where he will
wax sarcastic (or witty) about both dogmatic Believers and
dogmatic Deniers. He will be joined during his presentation by
one of America=92s truly great and prophetic novelists, Tom
Robbins, a non-dogmatic person reportedly raised by wild dingoes
in the Australian outback.

Other presenters at the conference include Gregg Braden, Ilona
Selke, and James Twyman.

You will find full information on The Prophets Conference ~ Port
Townsend linked at http://www.greatmystery.org/prophets.html.

Looking forward to seeing you in August.

In Which a Paper Rattlesnake Turns

Professor, you've got a bad case of Gogo on the Magogo.
-Spellbound

No ordinary tomato could do this, but-
-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

On April 24, 1989, when glasnost had already come to bloom but
before the final break-up of the Soviet Union, a man named Ivan
Vesalova in Cherepovetsk saw or imagined a craft of enormous
size, bigger than any airplane, hovering about a thousand feet
above the ground.  Just another UFO sighting.  Nothing special.
We all know that Vesalova might have actually seen an airplane
distorted by lighting and weather, or a balloon, or a heat
inversion. Those of us open-minded enough-or mad enough, as you
will-to think he might have seen an alien spaceship do not need
to rush in haste to the True Believer position of changing
"might have seen" to a dogmatic and fervent "did see." We just
don't know, and most of us prefer to remain dubious about such a
case, where multiple earthly explanations seem quite likely.

On June 6, in Konantsevo, several children reported the landing
of a luminous sphere in a meadow. They saw, or hallucinated--,
as you will, a headless person climb out.  Then, like a special
effect in a sci-fi movie, both the craft and the headless ginkus
disappeared.  Just faded away...

Well, maybe the kids had smoked some decadent Capitalist weed. 
Maybe they just wanted to hoax the grown-ups and invented it
all. Maybe...maybe...We do not get beyond "maybe" in cases like
this, unless we have a Dogma in mind and want to force the data
to fit it.

On June 11 in Volagda a woman reported a fiery sphere crossing
the sky, visibly for about seventeen minutes.

Maybe she saw a meteor.  Maybe she saw a space ship.  You decide
such maybes definitely only if you made up your mind long, long
ago that you would always decide them that way.

For several days in October that year, in the town of Voronezhan
industrial center of about one million inhabitants--scores of
witnesses reported landings of spherical craft.  They also
reported gigantic extraterrestrials (twelve to fourteen feet
high) who got out of the craft and went walking around the city
park.

They even saw or hallucinated several cases of seeming
"teleportations"--people who vanished from one place and then
re-appeared elsewhere.

The witnesses to all this weirdness did not number two or three,
who might have hatched a good hoax between them.  In most cases,
witnesses consisted of huge crowds.

Kind of makes me wonder.  George Lucas, as noted earlier, could
fake this on film, but I don't know of any existing technology
that would fake it in several parts of a "real," "solid" town.

The alleged extraterrestrial allegedly had three eyes, according
to some witnesses.  Others denied that and said the Visitors
(let's not assume we know what kind of space they came from) had
a strange bump in their foreheads that looked only a little bit
like a third eye.

Many of the sightings had very large crowds of witnesses.  For
instance, a woman who saw a red-yellow-green glove maneuvering
over her house called all her neighbors. Over 500 people later
agreed they had seen it--or 500+ people all starting
hallucinating at the same time, if you must dump the data
instead of thinking about it.

Several Soviet scientists investigated and failed to convince
themselves that all the reports derived from hallucination. They
frankly felt stumped, as they told American researcher Dr.
Jacques Vallee.

Just before Vallee finished interviewing the Russian
investigators--as he prepared to fly back to the United
States--one final report came from Voronezh. Another strange
craft had flown over a nuclear power plant, and sent a beam
toward the ground, which left a burn mark in the asphalt.

Witnesses described the craft, and garb of the giants who walked
around the park, as decorated with a curious symbol. Perhaps the
reader will recognize that symbol at this stage of our story.

The sign of UMMO... By now, this group art work, or hoax, or
whatever, must have cost its perpetrators about as much as a
Spielberg film.  What can inspire such spendthrift humor?

The 21st Century Mind: Opening to the Possible is the vision for
The Prophets Conference ~ Port Townsend.  This special gathering
continues the compelling adventure into sacred vision and the
realization of meaning.  The Prophets Conferences are
unparalleled events constantly manifesting the edge of ideas
which call for nothing less than the Re-envisioning and
Reconfiguration of Reality.

Port Townsend, Washington is a beautiful place on Puget Sound,
between Seattle and Vancouver, and is the perfect location for
the conference, for a powerful pilgrimage, and for an especially
enjoyable vacation. Lodging and camping at the Fort Worden State
Park Conference Site are inexpensive, comfortable, and quite
nice, and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking.
