The irony of the rat race ….

It all depends on what you want out of life.

“A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the Mexican.

“But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American. The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.

The American asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

“I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs…I have a full life.”

The American interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.

You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.”

“How long would that take?” asked the Mexican.

“Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years,” replied the American.

“And after that?”

“Afterwards? That’s when it gets really interesting,” answered the American, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!”

“Millions? Really? And after that?”

“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your grandchildren, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends.” - from the Net

Workers shifting to 4-day week to save gasoline

I always loved 10 hour shifts, gives you 3 days off and if they are consecutive, all the better. It let me go to many conferences and stay the entire time.

“The reason is simple: rising gas prices and a desire to retain good workers. Regular gasoline averages $3.94 a gallon in the United States, up 33 cents in the past month and 88 cents since the beginning of the year, the Energy Information Administration said this week. The federal government has offered four-day workweeks to eligible employees for years as part of a flexible work program that also includes telecommuting. But the surge in gasoline prices is pushing more private employers as well as local governments to offer a four-day week as a perk that eliminates two commutes a week. “By allowing employees to work four 10-hour days it will save them 20 percent on their commute costs and ease the financial pinch of filling up their cars,” said L. Brooks Patterson, who last week proposed the compressed week for county workers. Gasoline prices have begun altering U.S. commutes in many ways, a survey released on Thursday showed. Some 44 percent of respondents said they have changed the way they commute — doing things such as sharing a ride or driving a more fuel-efficient car — or are working from home or looking for a closer job in order to reduce gasoline costs, according to staffing services company Robert Half International. That’s up from 34 percent two years ago. On New York’s Long Island, Suffolk County legislator Wayne Horsley also has proposed employees have the option of working four 10-hour shifts, rather than five eight-hour shifts, saying it would save 461 barrels of oil in a 120-day pilot project. “This is a gasoline-driven proposition and we’re looking to change people’s long term philosophies of life,” Horsley said. The program, termed Operation Sunshine, will cut gasoline costs for workers who drive an average round trip of 32 miles to work. It also aims to cut the county’s energy bill by having fewer employees in the office at a time, Horsley said.” - Source

Move over ChupaCabra, make room for ChupaPollo

Very strange story I was told tonight. A 21 year old friend and I were drinking beer tonight at my house and watching a show about mysteries. He and his farming family live about 5km out in the country. Something on TV mentioned Chupacabras and he said one used to roam around here about 12 years ago.

He said the thing had a head like an armadillo with a pointy snout, a tail like a kangaroo, scales like a fish and could jump from 20-50 METERS in a single hop. It was about 2 to 3 feet tall.

Give me a break, what is this, bio-levitation like lung-gom-pa or would it be more like the Incredible Hulk who jumps everywhere he goes. 20-50 meters would be like 60-150 feet per jump. I asked him if he didn’t mean ‘pies = feet’ and he said no, meters.

What if some living things can actually control gravity influx to reduce or increase their weight at will? There is much to this can of worms when you open it up but I won’t bother you with it in this post.

I suggested he and his friend who also saw it were drunk, on drugs or crazy..he said no, totally sober.

He said his friend saw it peeping around a corner and making a hissing sound as it drew air into its pointed mouth, but when his friend gave chase, the thing shot up into the air and landed about 30 feet away to repeat this movement.

In the photo here, it looks like a wild dog, maybe like in Australia.

All the farmers in the area were complaining and trying to kill it when they too saw it after killing their chickens, but no luck.

It ate chickens by sucking the blood from their necks and within about 2 hours, if you cut the body open, what blood and fluids were left would be green, with no trace of red.

That reminded me that blood and chlorophyll only differ by virtue of iron in blood versus magnesium in chlorophyll and that by exchanging them you literally change blood to chlorophyll or vice versa.

This creature called a Chupacabra which means ‘goat sucker’ is really a Chupapollo since it sucks and kills only chickens.

It lived in a long cave that had poisonous gases and used to steal underwear and soft clothes which it used to pad its nest and left a trail of them going into the cave. The thing was causing so much mischief that the government called in soldiers who saw it but couldn’t catch or kill it.

But after the soldiers canvassed and patrolled the area, the ChupaPollo left or died. No one knows what happened, but they suspect the poisonous gases from deep in the cave might have killed it.

I should have taped this story as I’m sure I left some parts out. He said 3-4 years ago there was another brief chicken attack but he didn’t think it was this creature. I told him I’ll buy some beer and let him tell me this story again with full details so I can record it and translate it as completely as possible.

He also has a lot more stories that I found quite interesting. One being a mysterious cave which ‘eats’ boats, people and animals. I think its some kind of underwater vortex between the shore and one of the two main islands in Lake Chapala.

I asked if one day we could drive out to some of the places he knows and he could tell me the stories and show me the places and he said yes. Of course I’ll pay him for his time as they make very little money here for a days work.

I love this kind of stuff, especially things that locals always know but almost never tell strangers. There is a town called Ocotlan with a history of a ten year cycle for UFO sightings and contacts.

A guy from Guadalajara told me the ships come right down close and you can see and photograph all kinds of details and that he had photos up close. He promised to bring them so I could scan them in, but I haven’t seen him again and that was a few years ago.

Now that I think about it, he is a cousin of Carlos whose family runs a local abarrote (store like 7-11) so I’ll ask him to get the cousin to bring the photos next time he visits.

Just out or curiosity, I did a search for ChupaPollo and found this chicken eating cow story;

The Case of the Carnivorous Cow! - “KOLKATA, India — When dozens of chickens went missing from a remote West Bengal village, everyone blamed the neighborhood dogs. The family decided to stand guard at night on Monday at the cow shed which also served as a hen coop, after 48 chickens went missing in a month. “Instead of the dogs, we watched in horror as the calf, whom we had fondly named Lal, sneak to the coop and grab the little ones with the precision of a jungle cat,” Gour Ghosh, his brother, said. “The local vets said the cow was probably suffering from a disease but others said Lal was a tiger in his previous birth,” Ajit added.” - Source

Highlights & Comments - up to 05/02/08

Item #1 - GPS Location TrackStick - This is just the coolest little gadget that lets you track where something has been over several months. The uses are endless! They need to hide them in government and company vehicles where people often use them for personal activities or to slack off from work. As well, use it for tracking your valuable possessions. Here in Mexico, I hesitate to loan my tools, weedeater, etc. as I’ve found some Mexicans will hire themselves out using my tools, so they sometimes come back a bit more used than I expected. A couple of guys were cutting grass and others vacuuming cars or doing carpentry with my tools. So I don’t loan tools anymore.

Item #2 - Why the US is collapsing - An interesting view on the causes of what is happening today.

Item #3 - Laser Used to Trigger Lightning in a Thunderstorm - Wow! Imagine using liquid sodium, superconducting rings or other energy storage methods to suck down and use lightning for power!

Item #4 - Water is the next Oil - Water, food, oil, weather problems and all indications are its all going to get worse.

Item #5 - Growing plants in Moon Dirt - This is a very big thing as it offers the chance for humans to survive and thrive on the moon as insurance against a corrupted earth. With water and nutrients, plants eat carbon dioxide and produce oxygen as well as food.

Historical KeelyNet File of Interest - ‘A Critical Error that needs Correction’

Most mainstreamers have the erroneous conception that alternative science fans, experimenters and researchers are looking to ‘create’ something from nothing in order to provide power necessary to run their perpetual motion machines or free energy devices.

The majority of people I know and communicate with are seeking one thing, a working free energy or gravity control device. Something we all can see, test, build (or buy) and use to make all of our lives easier.

It gets ever more tedious having to explain and correct people who write or call in, calling me and others who think along similar lines flakes, fools, idiots or other choice insults.

They haven’t bothered to study the very subjects they are ranting against, they haven’t bothered to ask questions, follow any discussions or read any documents relating to the subject. Yet they have no problem writing rude or insulting letters, full of ad hominem attacks, believing themselves to be the possessor of all that is right and true.

Two files to check out, ‘Something from Nothing Revisited’ and how we can tap into other forces to produce power at Thrust and Electrical Power by Rectifying Aether/ZPE with Chaos Converters.

the Ultimate Power Source revisited

We got a rather bizarre post to the KeelyNet Interact Discussion List which was more than out there. It did mention;

“…naturally occurring nanoroller atom impregnated mineral which he finally and readily found in the Caves of Wales and publicized that it was “as common as dirt” in the area. He reported that the rocks gave off lots of electrical power without excitation and all that was needed was to connect wires to them. I also realized that they could be connected to portable high-power lasers and used to rob a plethora of banks everywhere, so I had the project secretized right after he discovered how to synthesize an artificial version in the lab!”

Some people read files and in time, come to believe they are involved in them. Such is the case with Al Bielek and the Philadelphia Experiment, total nutjob as we proved long ago in Dallas, but that’s another story.

For THIS story, the file this guy fails to reference is addressed with this post;

“I’m branching this off for ‘clarity’. The story is posted here about these power rocks, I am posting the key part of the page though there is more if you wish to read it at; http://keelynet.com/energy/adamsw1.htm

Arthur’s Stumbled on the secret of free electricity - There’s more than a welcome in the Welsh hillsides, according to specialist metal prospector Arthur Adams.

He reckons there could be a fortune in “magic” metal deposits — similar
to the chunk he’s gouged out of a gold bearing mountain just off the
Mawddach Estuary, North Wales.

But so far, his accidental find — a silver grey metal which he claims gives off electrical energy — has brought cynicism and disbelief from mineral scientists and a warning under the Official Secrets Act. (photo for illustration, not the actual mineral)

Arthur Adams, who lives quietly in a village near Ipswich says that there is enough of the material available to transform dramatically Britain’s energy resources.

In fact, to prove his point, he already claims to run clocks, a radio,
and a small TV set at his home — just by plugging into his piece of
strange metal.

Patented - Geologists and mineralogists says there is no natural mineral on earth which they don’t know about. And that no natural element could generate the prodigious electric energy claimed by Mr. Adams.

Mr Adams, a retired ultra-sonic engineer and radiologist who once worked
on Concorde, patented his discovery under a trade name. But the Ministry
of Defence warned him in writing that his find was covered by the
Official Secrets Acts.

He was not to reveal the components of the substance or it’s location.

Mr. Adams is not an amiable crank. As a consultant specialist metal
prospector, he uses a device of his own invention for detecting all
types of minerals.

He has been prospecting for years in the mineral rich area of the
Mawddach Estuary where there are active gold mines and huge deposits of
copper, zinc and lead. There are other rare metals there too.

He said yesterday: “This substance is a combination of natural elements
in a hitherto undiscovered form and which could have taken tens of
thousands of years to discover scientifically.”

“I have analysed it and I know what it is, but for the time being I have
been ordered to keep the secret.”

The energy source he says he has discovered is like a huge natural
battery in the earth — and it has nothing to do with the fusion of zinc
and copper.

“Believe me” he said earnestly “this is big, very big indeed. “it can
produce a limitless supply of power… it gives off huge voltages and
amps and it is self-regenerating.”

Doubts - What is more, he claims to have synthesised the metal. He can produce it himself.

Although he is bound to secrecy until the Government scientists have
investigated the metal, Mr. Adams revealed some fascinating
possibilities for it.

A piece no bigger that a shirt button could replace batteries in cars
and commercial vehicles.

A slab half the size of a shoe box could provide all the power and light
for a normal three up and two down family house — for next to nothing.

Officials at the Institute of Geological Scientists who prospect for and
map minerals in Britain said yesterday: “We have not discovered any
minerals with these properties. If it is a substance unknown to science
it is extremely exciting — but we doubt it.”

But Arthur Adams is unabashed. He is content to await a verdict of the
Government scientists.

As one mineralogist said: “It is highly unlikely that he has discovered
a new substance — but who knows? Stranger things have happened…”

Written by John Christopher (publication unknown)

I was curious to see if anything new had arisen about this man or subject in all these years (since 1997) and found the following;

“Update 05/17/08 - Additional info from; http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Park/4065/berwyn.html

At 8.30 PM on 23 January, 1974, a large disc-like craft was seen to fall from the skies over Clwyd in Wales. Dozens of witnesses across Lancashire and Cheshire had phoned the police earlier that evening after seeing a strange formation of green lights flying erratically over the skies of the north-west. At exactly 8.38 PM, something impacted into the Berwyn Mountains in Clwyd, and the resulting tremor - which measured 4.5 on the Richter Scale - was felt in Wrexham, Chester, Liverpool, Southport, and even in some areas of Greater Manchester.

A nurse who lived near the scene of the impact told a local newspaper that a flying saucer ‘the size of the Albert Hall’ had smashed into a mountain, throwing debris and bodies for over a mile. She said she walked up to one of the bodies, and realised it wasn’t human, but before she could describe what she had seen, the military intervened, and two Ministry of Defence officials ordered her to remain silent about the UFO because her comments ‘would constitute a threat to national security and the defence of the realm’.

That nurse has never been seen in the area since, and the news reporter who visited the scene of the alleged crash refused to talk about the incident up until his death in 1979.

In 1980, an electronics engineer named Arthur Adams, who had worked on Concorde, visited the Berwyn UFO crash-site and found strange green coloured pieces of metal embedded in the rocks there. He took samples of the metal to his laboratory and discovered that a sample the size of a 1-inch cube gave off two kilowatts of electricity, when wired up to a volt meter. Mr Adams contacted the Daily Express, and they published a series of articles about the strange find, but the Ministry of Defence stepped in and killed the story.”

This story took me totally by surprise as all I’d ever seen before was that the mineral was naturally occurring, now this claim that it might be UFO residual material.

The Tantalus Field

Being a lifelong trekker, I have always loved the gadgets and devices on Star Trek and other sci-fi shows, movies and in books. One episode dealt with an alien machine that could display the location of an enemy in realtime and if you wished, you could destroy that enemy.

Since Star Trek was in the early 1960’s, it was only years later that I found a connection with an invention claimed by Henry Moray. I even went so far as to buy the domain name tantalusfield.com.

I never saw any connection between this sci-fi construct and (from Wikipedia) the Greek god Tantalus was welcomed to Zeus’ table in Olympus, like Ixion. There he misbehaved, stole ambrosia, brought it back to his people, and revealed the secrets of the gods.

Tantalus offered up his son, Pelops, as a sacrifice to the gods. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up as food for the gods. The gods were said to be aware of his plan for their feast, so they didn’t touch the offering; only Demeter, distraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephone, “did not realize what it was” and ate part of the boy’s shoulder.

Fate, ordered by Zeus, brought the boy to life again (she collected the parts of the body and boiled them in a sacred cauldron), rebuilding his shoulder with one wrought of ivory made by Hephaestus and presented by Demeter.

Tantalus’ punishment, now proverbial for temptation without satisfaction (”tantalising”), was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. Whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches raised his intended meal from his grasp. Whenever he bent down to get a drink, the water receded before he could get any. Over his head towers a threatening stone, like that of Sisyphus.

The following is an excerpt from my tantalusfield.com website;

“The Tantalus Field. Discovered by the Mirror Captain James Kirk “in the laboratory of a dead alien scientist,” the Tantalus Field is a device that granted the Captain much of his power and fearsome reputation.

The Field consists of a small viewscreen and a few simple controls. By adjusting the controls, the operator can call up a view of any point within orbital distance (up to 10,000 kilometers away).

No known screens or other technology can block the Tantalus Field’s view. This ability alone is quite useful for covert surveillance, but the Tantalus Field’s true power allows its user to “lock on” to anything in the device’s field of view and destroy it with the touch of a button.

The Tantalus Field operates on a principle of quantum interference. It disrupts the target’s normal quantum resonance signature. In essence, the target no longer “belongs” in normal space-time and instantly ceases to exist, vanishing in a momentary flash of light.

This is more than mere disintegration; the subject is banished from reality all together. There is no known defense against the Tantalus Field; once it has you in its sights, you are as good as dead.

The Moray Correlation from Alternative Science - Excerpt from “The Sea of Energy in Which the Earth Floats” by Thomas Henry Moray Sr.

[p. 114] David Gardner Affidavit: The gentleman who had invited me to the demonstration mentioned a contrivance that Dr Moray had also invented with which he could pick up sounds without them being broadcast from a radio sending station. He said that he had heard a demonstration of this device.

I asked if I might hear it also; he called Dr Moray over and asked if I might see a demonstration of the “sound pickup device”, and I was granted the privilege.

There was an old radio box of conventional design with two headphones plugged into the box. Dr Moray tuned the device by turning the knob in front. He handed me one set of headphones and one set to my nephew Mr Clark Gardner; he then arranged for three people to walk out of the house into the street and carry on a conversation to which we were tuned…

I was sure I was listening to these three men. I remember distinctly it was raining at the time and I could hear the patter of the rain on the pavement as they walked.

I remember them saying they had better hurry back into the house lest they get wet.

In the course of their return, I wondered if I might hear other people talking, and despite the advice of Dr Moray not to fool around with the tuning device, I moved the knob slowly and heard very distinctly the sounds of a railroad station: the whistle of a train, and a porter or the station master at his station saying, “All aboard”. The nearest station to the receiving set would have been a minimum of 5 miles…

I know that the people on the street had no transmitting device or any other instrument with them. They would not believe me when I told them what I had heard, but they said I was repeating their conversation.

If these claims about Moray somehow tapping into earth currents to retrieve dynamic speech are accurate, then it might also be possible to retrieve video as well.

One of Nikola Tesla’s claims was that he could create standing waves around the earth, which he could move at will to create a precise point of attack for not only detection, but destruction of missiles, planes, ships or entire cities with sufficient power. A matter of charging a standing wave and collapsing it. Here is a drawing of his Wardenclyffe Tower station which he claimed could transmit power anywhere on the planet to operate electrical devices and a drawing of him holding his ‘wireless lamp’.

Two other ‘deep’ correlations that might be of interest;

#1 - Dr. Walter Russell in his book, “The Universal One” refers to a phantom image of all masses that projects into the earth below them, as a consequence of aether/zpe and cosmic ray penetration.

#2 - Businessman Maurice Cooke was startled when he began ‘channeling’ something calling itself Hilarion. As the contacts grew, a body of information was built up which wound up with the production of a series of small books describing how the universe, life experiences, reality, dimensions, time, etc. all work. In one of them he refers to the use of the phantom image of a tetrahedron, along with the proper energy emitter, which could be used to clone an ojbect placed in the focus area of the tetrahedron. For a better understanding of how crystals and pyramid structures work, you might want to buy ‘The Physics of Crystals’ dvd. You can also view a youtube demo from this dvd.

CrossLoop Tech Help - April 2008 - Week 4

This might be a very useful service, quick, cheap and effective.

“There’s a new community of more than 7,000 helpers gathered on a web site called CrossLoop. Anyone who thinks they know their stuff can list Tech Support Kenny themselves. Some charge a dollar a minute and others offer help for free. You have to be willing to provide remote access to your computer to get this kind of Internet help. If you think there’s something wrong as you watch someone doing searches on your screen, you can disconnect at any time. YouTubeThe helpers on CrossLoop are rated by people who have used their expertise. You start out by downloading some software from CrossLoop.com. Then if you want help, click the “share” tab. That generates a number that you need to give to the helper. If you want to be a helper, you click an “access” tab and type in the code provided by the person seeking help. This feature can be extremely useful for people who do not want to become general helpers available to the whole world, but are simply willing to help a friend or relative with a computer problem. The site already has more than 600,000 users in over 190 countries and lots of people are using it. CrossLoop has advantages over other tech support services we have tried, such as YourTechOnline and PlumChoice. Those services are fine but they tend to focus on the most common kinds of problems, such as spyware, viruses, setting up networks, speeding up a slow computer, etc. CrossLoop has such a diversity of knowledgeable people that they can help with unusual problems, such as mechanical drafting or high-end photo editing. We think this is an optimum use of the power of the worldwide web: no matter what the problem, someone out there probably knows the answer.” - Source

Two things that make me proud to be an American

There is so much crap on TV, self-serving, ad cluttered or sensationalized. I find it refreshing and uplifting to see a show like ‘Extreme Makeover’ on ABC, which often brings tears to my eyes to see a needy family receive help of such magnitude!

Whoever came up with this show and to all those who make it happen, big kudos. Sure it is on a very grand scale that few individuals could sponsor but I think it shows how people and companies working together can help those in need.

Habitat for Humanity has also been doing this for years without all the fanfare and there are of course other groups and organizations who actually do good with the money and volunteer efforts. I just wanted to put in a plug for these groups and all those who help make such things happen.

Recently, American Idol showed their charitable side and raised $76 million dollars in 2007 and has exceeded $60 million so far in 2008. You can still donate here if you’d like to do your bit.

“The Charity Projects Entertainment Fund distributes the money raised to Save the Children, America’s Second Harvest, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Children’s Health Fund to help disadvantaged children in the United States. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis & Malaria, Malaria No More, Nothing But Nets, Save the Children, and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will receive money to fund programs in Africa.”

Imagine if all that war money (+$515,000,000,000.00) was diverted to these and other charitable groups who actually spend the majority of the money as intended, rebuilding and helping the US first, then extend these efforts to other countries. I wonder if other countries have a TV show like this? I’m sure they have charitable organizations for various purposes.

That is one of the things the rest of the world gets so upset about…that Americans know so little about them and simply don’t seem to care about their cultures or events until it somehow impacts the USA, then it becomes important. We can do much better on so many fronts but we need strong leaders to inspire and guide us to constructive collective actions.

KeelyNet Highlights & Comments - 04/15/08

(I decided to post these since I don’t archive them on KeelyNet, you might find them of interest. - JWD)

Item #1 - Xynergy Corporation - As you can see, this company seems to be announcing amazing discoveries since 2002, most recently one about a high output hydrogen generator and another about a 75% water to 25% gas mix process. This always raises my shields when companies or people proclaim wonders for YEARS with nary a product. In my opinion, its all a ploy to troll investors.

Item #2 - 40% boost in Thermoelectric efficiencies - This is a very big deal for thermal generators and quite possibly has a connection to the Moray device.

Item #3 - Lloyd’s cool water-saving invention runs hot - With a water scarce world approaching, this needs to be installed on every home and business.

Item #4 - Money doesn’t grow on trees, but gasoline might - I hope this isn’t just hype, imagine a gasoline tree orchard.

Item #5 - The Coming Tax Bomb - Government rebate at no cost? Yeah, right, wait til the other shoe falls and we wind up paying it back many times over.

Item #6 - the Thermal Equalizer - Probably everyone knows that heat rises. So when you heat a room where is all the hot air, you got it, at the ceiling level. There have been other schemes to redistribute air such as 6″ or so PVC floor to ceiling pipes with fans pulling hot air down but this one is also quite interesting and something like it should be built into homes or retrofitted to existing ones. It could save a lot of money in energy.

Historical KeelyNet File of Interest - ‘Engineering Reality’

I’ve been experimenting with Feng Shui for the past 4 years and had some interesting results which I hope to include in a new eBook. Some background on this if you are interested in ‘engineering reality’ can be found in this old KeelyNet file explaining Gestalts and the Production of Anomalous Phenomena.

Various religions, from the pomp and circumstance of Roman Catholic rituals to the rituals of witchcraft which require the active emotional involvement of a group of people focusing their minds on a single goal. It is the function of the priest or priestess to recognize when the emotions have peaked and to direct the release of the combined emotion energies toward the accomplishment of a specific goal.

As mentioned earlier, many prayer groups and churches use this combined form of concentration in attempts to help or heal others with varying levels of success. Some people naturally have more of this ability than others.

The dark side of this energy is the release and redirection of the life force from a blood sacrifice to influence or produce a specific real world event. The Ark of the Covenant and the Old Testament required such life force sacrifices. Possibly the Ark had equipment to collect and convert these life force energies for the production of the various phenomena that it is reported to have produced.

I have seen reports of electronic devices that had an energy sapping effect. One such is Floyd Sweet’s VTA. I attribute that to the increased influx of aether/ZPE into the circuit, where the experimenter is too close to the center of accumulation, the vortex. This would extract life energy from the experimenter by aether/ZPE entrainment.

Priorities in Mexico

A small anecdote that gives a bit of insight into Mexican culture and thinking…

Miguel is a friend who works for a furniture moving company. At the time of the accident I am about to describe, he was unmarried but dating a schoolteacher who he planned to marry.

One day several years ago he stopped by my house for a visit. As I reached out to shake his hand, he kind of flinched and pulled back in pain. He pointed out his middle finger which was slightly bent and looked to me as if it had been jammed.

He said a heavy piece of furniture had hit his outstretched fingers and he was in pain. I asked if he’d had it x-rayed to see if it was a bone break or fracture. He said no, that it was just a bruise and would be okay.

I told him he needed to get that looked at as soon as possible because a break or fracture could heal stiff and make his finger or even hand unusable, but he refused to listen.

Sure enough, over the next few months, it did heal up stiff and though he can still grab things, he doesn’t have the force he had because of this accident and which he refused to have looked at due to his macho pride. Miguel is now married with a baby daughter and his wife is due for their second child, but his finger never healed properly and he I notice he is careful with that hand.

This little event came to mind yesterday when I stopped in at a favorite bar for a michelada. I knew several of the mexican customers and a gringo friend was there as well as the bar owner who I’ve known for several years. The owner is a great guy, well respected and has a wonderful family. He walked by, said hello and we chatted a bit. I noticed his middle finger was horribly bent and swollen. I asked him if he was in pain and he said yes.

So what happened? He said he was riding a horse (he has a ranch) and got thrown which damaged his hand. For the month involving Semana Santa (Holy Week) he planned to take the family to Cancun so didn’t want to have to deal with this finger problem. He didn’t consult a doctor for fear he would be given medicine and told he could not drink. Off the family goes for a month where he still didn’t see a doctor. Result, swollen and bent finger and I don’t think he has yet gone for medical help.

It’s not like he doesn’t have the money, but it just blew me away that it was more important to him to be able to drink on that vacation than to repair a damaged finger that might heal stiff or useless or even worse.
