Subject: Firmage: Launch of ISSO 


Hello friends,

The International Space Sciences Organization is scheduled to formally
launch its operations in May, 1999. As part of this launch, a completely new
web site will be opened at www.TheISSO.org. The new web site (free and open
to the public) will demonstrate the full breadth of initiatives ISSO has
planned and underway, including:

1 - A structured and organized publishing system for a new initiative called
"The Truth Files" -- a new public library of cutting edge rigorous research,
analysis, and speculation on extraterrestrial life, space exploration, UFO
phenomena, and advanced consciousness studies, from historical, scientific,
and theological perspectives.

2 - A comprehensive link and book reference library, and an organized
real-time threaded discussion system spanning the same subjects.

3 - An integrated radio broadcast schedule for "The Truth Files",
coordinated to run regularly both directly on the Internet and, within a
time slot of Jeff Rense's Sightings show dedicated to The Truth Files, on
syndicated national radio. Each program in the series will feature invited
guests representing the best of the best researchers in pursuit of the truth
at the cutting edge of thought. A wide range of diverse but well-grounded
opinions will be welcome, but only the most rigorously argued will be put on
air.

4 - Information about the summertime launch of a worldwide event tour
featuring a film produced by ISSO.

5 - A volunteer membership system which will begin to organize people around
the world who share the common desire to build a brighter future for
humanity and who have resources or talents to contribute to a better
understanding of the subjects studied at ISSO.

With this message we are opening our first semi-annual Invitation for Papers
for the "The Truth Files". We invite submissions from serious researchers of
cutting-edge discoveries relevant to history, new principles in science,
concepts of spirituality, and unusual phenomena in evidence.

The specifications for submissions are:

- Provide a one line title
- Include an abstract of up to 100 words
- Please try to limit to less than 100 pages in length
- Format your work as an Adobe Acrobat file
- The copyright remains with the author, though permission is granted to
ISSO post in "The Truth Files" library
- Submissions can be e-mailed to thekairos@yahoo.com
- Include contact information for follow-up

Evaluated by a review process conducted through a board of advisers, the top
10 papers will be featured as part of "The Truth Files", and each author
will be invited to address the public through a dedicated 3-hour ISSO radio
broadcast on the Internet and air waves. Each of these authors will also
receive a $1,000 honorarium from ISSO. ISSO will award the authors of the
top five papers an additional $5,000 each to be used to advance their
domains of research as they see fit. I consider this amount of money
symbolic of the importance, and not sufficient to be compensatory, of a
genuine attempt to communicate important knowledge to human beings around
the world.

The deadline for the first round of papers is May 1, 1999, and awards will
be announced on July 1, 1999. Each six months, this invitation will be
reissued, reviews conducted, papers posted, and awards granted.

Whatever your views may be, and regardless of whether you agree with me, I
respect you as equals, and I ask only truth. I hope you will join me in
supporting a new and genuine effort to promote a deeper understanding of the
remarkable times in which we live.

Best regards,

J O S E P H    F I R M A G E
Founder & Chairman
