MANIFESTATION POSSIBILITIES

2006-08-13T16:15:00.000-07:00

If I saw an alien passing out pamphlets on the street corner, the first thing I’d do is sense and discern the “vibes” of the alien and then read the pamphlet.

What would it say?

It would depend upon the alien’s imperatives of course, but if that agenda was consonant to the interests of our human biokind on planet earth, it would no doubt encourage us to use the tools we already have available (inscribed in us) and learn how to interact and even interface with the universe by applying those tools.

The alien pamphlet would most probably be a reminder of what we already know in our subconscious mind. It would remind us that we already have all the necessary equipment we will ever need contained within our DNA.

The unfolding and flowering of that DNA is what we call “expansion of consciousness.” Many things can help this process along. Music, art, poetry and literature are good examples. These can act as stimuli for our genetics to naturally unfold. Perhaps the friendly ETs are already working with us in this manner and have been doing so for a very long time. I find the WingMakers site a tremendous help. I’ve also been listening to (and interfacing with) a delightful CD of mantras that remind one’s soul of the bliss and power of our interconnectivity.

We already “create our own reality” but in an obviously haphazard fashion. We intellectually know that when we entertain negative thoughts we’re sure to get negative results and emotions. I know a person who worried self to death. We’ve all experienced the results of trying to solve a problem on the level of the problem, going around in circles and making the situation worse rather than better.

Thought is always ready to be materialized. No one should ever be judged for ignorant misuse of this but should be helped to remember the process by which we all bring things into being every day. Think about your own experience. Haven’t you also had problems that seemed to resolve themselves according to your prayer, longing and deepest intention?

We should always have mercy and allowance on ourselves and others while remembering that we (most of us anyway) are in the very beginning process of learning how Nature really works. We have quite a bit of deprogramming to undergo. Things are not as they seem nor are they what we’ve been taught by standard models.

About five times in my life I have experienced what we often call a miracle --that is, something which seems to occur outside the realm of the Standard Model of physics. Two of those times can only be called angelic interventions, which saved my physical life. Two other times I saw human flesh healed before my very eyes after specifically directed prayer in dire emergencies. I think that many people have experienced this.

The rational mind seeks for a plausible explanation. When such an event happens, one’s mind tends to frantically grasp for an explanation that will assure us that we are not going insane or deceiving ourselves and that our perceptions have not gone askew.

The fifth “miracle” I experienced in my life was just a short time ago and I’ll do my best to give an account of what happened. I still have to classify it in the “miraculous” category because I still have no idea of exactly how it happened -- but I’m starting to suspect how it happened.

Some of the keys seem to be 1) a joyful personal attitude, 2) having a strong vectored intention 3) being emotionally and fervently “in love” with what you are trying to do 4) having an ambiance of inner and outer peace and 5) an inner assurance of worthiness as a child of God and the universe. These are only five. I’m sure there are others.

I have a favorite object. It is one of those wonderful Swiss Army knives. Mine has EVERYTHING on it but there was a small part that had been missing for months. It was a little nail that fits snugly into the red knife handle -- a nail which is also a writing pen. Shortly before that evening my wife had gone rummaging through the little plastic set of drawers over my computer specifically looking for the missing part. She was unable to find it and offered to give me the little nail belonging to her own Swiss Army knife, which is identical. I said “no, thanks” and resolved that the missing part was gone forever. I was a little saddened by it but resolved to let that emotion pass on through. The last I saw of that knife, it was in the plastic set of drawers minus its little nail/pen.

One evening I was in an exceptional mood of bliss and peace. I thought of the knife sitting there in its drawer minus the nail/pen and thought about how very much I appreciated that object. It had served me well and I thought about how its inventor had materialized a positive thought (the Swiss Army Knife). It was a creative thought/vision that had blessed humanity so very much.

I did not have the knife in my hands but could picture it easily in my mind’s eye. I thought about all the times I had used it, such as the time I had to employ the nailfile to saw through a padlock to obtain medicine for a client. Although it took me two hours, the hard steel in that little nailfile cut right through. There was little damage to the file and I could cut ten more such locks if it ever became necessary.

I was waxing a little philosophical thinking about how all physical material objects are just coagulated energy and all come forth and are sustained by a kind of quantum light encoded matrix. I thought about my knife sitting in the drawer and about the missing part. The knife felt incomplete. I wondered if it would be possible to manifest that missing part right out of the LERM (light-encoded reality matrix). I didn’t want to be greedy, I already had the knife and only needed the little part which belonged with the knife. I attempted to imagine the little nail/pen appearing in my hand. I was surprised that I could visualize it happening. Then I started to “try hard” and the magic was broken. I considered the experiment to have been a complete failure. “Not surprising,” I said cynically.

However, the very next morning I took the knife out of its drawer and gasped. The missing nail was neatly inserted into its receptacle on the knife case. “My wife must have given me hers,” I thought, so I immediately ran in and woke her up. She pulled out her own Swiss Army knife and lo and behold her little nail/pen was right where it should be.

I held up my restored knife tightly in my hands and gave praise and thanks to the universe.

Now, what was that? There is plenty of plausible deniability here. Maybe my present state of consciousness is not ready to see an object appear out of nowhere. However, I have seen flesh repaired before my eyes. I wasn’t ready for that either. It is not an everyday occurence.

I think the “aliens” are already standing on the corner handing out pamphlets. Our job is to pay attention.

CANNONBALL

A NEW ADVANCED PHYSICS AND LIFE ON EARTH IN

2006-08-12T22:54:00.000-07:00

Science is a communal endeavor, no matter how nontraditional the data gathering means and verification methods may be. As a communal activity, traditions rule the means and methods of scientific truth-seeking.
In neoclassical physics – the post-Einstein physics ruled by the Standard Model – the means are theory and model-making, and the method is an empiric one: experimentation. In the “soft” sciences such as the social sciences (as opposed to the “hardest” of sciences – physics), the method is an experimental nomothetic empiricism. The key to science done within the Standard Model in physics seems to lie in what is admitted in as data: it must be “physical” and be propelled by theoretical requirements prompted by the Standard Model. Even strings and superstrings, highly mathematical entities, must induce integration of natural physical forces – the strong, the weak, electromagnetism and gravity. And when strings are given sensorial conformations, they are visualized as vibrating single strand, corkscrew-like and closed loop in shape. The substance of physics then begins at the Planck limit and extends all the way to the upper limits of the EM range. In the world, this is operationalized as the domain between infinity and the infinitesimal.
And then there is a physics of life, driven by a pursuit of ultimate causation and the theoretical model and principles by which David Bohm’s enfolded “orders” unfold upward and downward causality chains. This is not a theistic pursuit to prove God exists – though an emerging Working Model hints at a vast and elegant superintelligence as prime source. Life physics’ unwitting pursuit has turned out to be ultimate causation (or the decipherment of what happened before the Big Bang in “negative” time and “negative” space), the formulation of superdomains which stemmed in sui-genesis from a T-boundary (which an emergent Working Model predicts they exist outside the limits of 4-spacetime), and the accessing of a supercontinuous plenum by a geometry of interconnectivity through a growing understanding of discernible rules (which means levels of manifestation by which causality vectors move “up” or “down” strong negentropic orders of symmetry [utmost near the T-boundary, and relatively least in 4-spacetime]).
Physical science today is dominated by a Platonic material realism, in which cause (as upward causation) stems from the interaction and movement of elementary particles, thus making this movement of particles the ultimate causal agency of everything in 4-spacetime. “Consciousness” and “mind” in material realism is but a mere epiphenomenon, totally secondary to the causal power of matter.
At the opposite end of the paradigmatic spectrum, we find monistic idealism, in which “mind” and “spirit” and “consciousness” reign supreme. In this paradigm, causation runs in a downward direction – from mind and spirit to matter. A complex oscillating biological entity (such as a human being) acting in the world then behaves with causal power in this paradigm.
And then, here comes a physics of life prompted by an initial pursuit of “principles” and “rules” and “logic” that could operationalize Bohm’s enfolded orders of the implicate, but which ended up connecting the dots of a model of ultimate causation and causality. In doing so, those of us who engaged in extension neurosensing (or ENS) (a form of clairvoyance-on-demand prompted and assisted by technological means which used a physics-of-life model applicable to life on Earth known from the Working Model as biogeosystemics) connected (or interfaced) with information of such “size” and “density” that surpassed all previous “takes” as to constitute a veritable cumulus.
From this gargantuan cumulus of information, the six extension neurosensors began the arduous, often daunting task of decoding (or translating interfaced cumulus information into sensorially meaningful information) and deciphering (interpreting and assigning meaning to decoded accumulated) information. It is this process that A. R. Bordon led over the last eight years, deciphering all sensorially meaningful accumulations into an emergent picture. And it is this “picture” that has become our Working Model.

METHOD AND THE EMERGENT PICTURE OF NATURE

What kind of picture does Nature paint of itself as this Working Model? Well, to use philosophy as the canvas and philosophical paradigms as the broadbrush with which the “picture” can be deciphered, we can say that Nature paints itself as monist-idealist and material-realistic. The Working Model paints her as idiomaterial (comprising of Bohmian relatively independent subtotalities) manifested in all of the Model’s superdomains as monistic idiomorphs which undergo a transformative process with definite protocolar “stages” of transformation – from thought-matrix transforms early on, to more condensate-transforms, culminating in a templaic conformation (or quantum potential) which the working Model says to work in tandem with 4-spacetime EM templates in a continuous mirrored “dance.”
Along the way, traditional terms (e.g., consciousness, spirit, matter, mind, reality, and particle) ceased to have any meaning at all to the seven of us. The explanatory demands made by deciphered information almost immediately required a new “languaging system” that could allow the preservation of integrity and accuracy of the deciphered information. To wit, languaging system (in the sense used here) is much more than mere spoken or written language. It must also take into consideration the method used (extension neurosensing or ENS), the modalities of information acquired and their innate characteristics, and the sensorial translations that must be made to make the information intelligible and accessible to human intellectual demand characteristics.
A neurosensor interfaces with an information cumulus capable of containing an information density and bandwidths that far surpass any form of accessing by mere intellectual means. The kind of information accessed can best be described as vitalizing, or vitalized. It would come at, often, many different gradient of enfoldments, will contain visions and emotions and sounds of strange characteristics – often coming from levels of manifestation in which four or more spatial dimensions expressed the percepts in the neurosensor’s holonomic experience.
Another parallel and correlative gradient may express emotive information of such depth and overwhelming power that would require a neurosensor to decode and decipher this aspect in bite-size fashion, using “filters” which allowed him or her to experience the emotional bandwidth often accompanying other information modality streams with a modicum of comfort.
Information also manifested in sound forms, which initially would have little or no meaning to inexperienced neurosensors.
All in all, the effort has not been to develop abstractions of sensorial transforms, but to learn to think and experience in a holonomic fashion. In fact, holonomic experiencing is the desired medium of decoding all detected “raw” data. Holonomy – a holophrastic term that captures an entire aspect of the neurosensing methodology – is the means by, and through, which a neurosensor “fleshes out” the detected information from a cumulus into a 4-dimensional perceptual gestalt. It is such gestalten then that serve as the perceptual “platform” from which meaning could be carefully and systematically derived – although not necessarily in discrete languaging (i.e., standard spoken and written language, in Eastern/Western language meaning sets).
Neurosensors learned to treat “knowings” as “working hypotheses” of what is understood as “first passage” through the cumul (or information aspect of the cumulus being deciphered). They are also encouraged to revisit any given cumulus as many times as necessary to develop increasingly more global grasps of the content information, or of any one aspect thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for aspects of a gestalt to be revisited often, for in doing so, a neurosensor peels more of the embedded meanings of the gestalt, and therefore, he or she may modify internal knowledge with more accurate intellectual grasps of the relevant information under consideration. How many times is this required? As many as required to have a working understanding of the aspect of a given cumulus of interest to any one of us.

THE NEW MILLENNIUM

This New Advanced Physics is quite different from that propounded by the Standard Model. It is also new in the sense that much of it is far more advanced than our ability to yet develop the necessary languaging systems to grasp and understand process models arising from the overall Working Model emerging from this work. It is also a physics that, while accessed by gnosive means by human neurosensors, it is also not entirely a product of human intelligence. Eureka moments abound, and the mathematics necessary to work up formalisms that will suit processes we can observe gnosively (with the largest, most complex and most advanced tuning antenna on earth – the human living matrix) and with the aid of nonnative technologies are requiring extensions of Riemann’s hypothesis well beyond the Mobius and Merten functions, hypercomplex numbers, hypergraphics (“We are no longer in Flatlands, Toto.”), and David Hilbert’s Hilbert space, co-homologies and mathematics we yet don’t have human proponents and exponents of them.
One thing we have come to understand in our bones: the observer figures prominently in this New Advanced Physics, and causation is upside down. The human, tech-1 type and tech-2 type applications of all of this are beyond anyone’s imagination to behold, sometimes including our own. Its commercial applications abound, and the use for and on behalf of humankind quite possible, and cheap, to boot.
And the observer must also undergo a kind of necessary makeover: we can no longer blame our presumed limitations and supposed proclivities on our ephemeral “human nature.” The human body is quite more advanced in construction and functions than heretofore considered possible and feasible. The work done by our extension neurosensors is proving this new awareness not only as a 4-spacetime reality, but also as a broad consideration for how a single human being is actually part of a far broader overfunction inclusive of an interconnectivity yet beyond current human conception. Pity the independence-minded cowboys of the 21st century who prize an impossible separation from another human being, who think such a thing as individuality supreme is desirable and hierarchical systems that perpetuate inequities and dislocations independent of interconnective awareness is the way of the one and future world. Most of all the prizing of fear – the government, the ETs, the Middle East, the Iranians and the Chinese, Osama bin Laden and dirty bombs, and materialism run amock. Fear of thy neighbor as fear of your own instincts. How disconnected can we get – from each other and from ourselves! Shame on us! Shame on us! Yet, we are observer of what we see and believe possible – or not. Manifest Production Observership – this is the tongue-in-cheek technical term we bandy about when referring to the process and the product of being observers that do a lot more than see the world, for we create what we are and where we live in a subtle quantum dance many will find elegant when they learn to see with vision not meant to behold this world. And “they” knew this long before we did, way before Roswell and long before the cigar-shaped ones at the turn of last century all over Texas.
The sum total of everything created – let’s call that the Unum – which includes our neck of the woods we know as our 4-spacetime universe is neither a material realist aggregate of space/time ratios, anymore than it is a monist idealist thought concoction of a T-boundary (or Thought-boundary) creationists would latch onto as God, snidely reminding Darwinians that evolution is not godly – and yet neither have a corner on what is, anymore than the universe is a thought or a material substance. Actually, the Unum and our universe are an idiomaterial phenomenon which has led to the appearance of some amazing things: a perfect DNA based on 24 base aminoacids, longevity of body in the half million earth years range, the capacity of decoupling an information cloud (or spirit-essence) from one body and coupling it to another, and much more. We live on a planet of such wondrous diversity. There are coteries of complex oscillating biological entities on and around our earth, all with their own imperatives, some of which are less then well intended and more than misguided to our collective sensibilities. Others exercise their observation in fulfillment of their own imperatives as well, and we wonder if they care about what we see to be our plight. A number have extorted their way into our centers of industry and our scientific laboratories. One biokind we hold in godspell, to borrow Neil Freer’s term. And a host of others appear in resonant benevolence to our consonant human view of ourselves as proverbial underdogs. Some of these pity us that we have not yet come to realize just what we are, while others patiently await our adolescent evolution. There are a handful, however, that do represent challenges to us – some severe enough to collectively need to address the specific challenge represented by the given source. One such challenge is the one we have undertaken, as the challenger does not measure life in the same way we do, and we (ALL of us) are responsible for our own biology. And as it if this were not enough, the same challenge is faced by those others who are around earth, and who know about this particular challenging situation. In a matter of speaking, this effort herein represents a kind of “fifth element” solution to a problem that cannot be solved by standard physics means, and the weaponries derived from such a paradigm.
Such then is a capsule of what we know to be life on earth at the turn of the new millennium. The intent of this blog is to present and represent the work of individuals who had signed up to assist in the “fifth element” strategy to which this group is committed. We don’t seek support for any one philosophical bent or worldview, not a cent for any cause or the promulgation of a given cause. None here are interested in catholic sainthood or guruship bathed in greenbacks.
Those who were called and recognized the call for what it is are here. It is what counts.

Greetings to all as the grand adventure commences! I look forward to a rich exchange of ideas here as well as a way to get to know everyone, Interconnectivity IS the future, whether people think so or otherwise, and it goes way beyond what most of us have dreamed possible. I cherish the possibilities that lie within our very hands, if we but only knew how to manifest them. SingingWolf 08/05/2006

Our Interaction

2006-08-05T13:12:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the posts everyone. It's good to be here after working out a small tech problem.

AR, I like the example you use of the Indians on La Hispanola -- just like us -- their beleifs and concepts of reality disabled their senses so that they were not able to comprehend much that they were seeing right in front of them. This shows a whole lot about how consciousness works.

I am learning that it is 100% true -- the Universe is a mirror -- a looking glass which perfectly reflects US in whatever state of consciousness we live in at the time. Is it any wonder that those who called upon the Grey's for the sake of gaining military technology and power over others got exactly what they called on? All those who call upon the name of the Source of All That Is get that connection also. The latter is my preference and probably the preference of everyone here. Everything is a choice. We gain knowledge by interaction and knowing that all things are accessible because of there interconnectivity.

Do you remeber the "cargo cults" that sprung up among "primitive" tribes when they first encountered food and supply drops from U.S. planes? They worshipped their "mysterious and "divine" supply from heaven." My, my don't we tend to do the same with regard to ETs?

Our culture is SO clelebrity minded.

Certain highly gifted people even find it necessary to retreat from public view in order not to become "guruized." Others accept the "guruship" and play that role, usually charging LOTS of money to "devotees" and doing lots of PR work. The ETs will NOT be "gurus" nor will they give us answers but they will help and encourage us to discover those answers for ourselves -- this is what the real helpers of humanity have always done -- that's what every good parent does to prepare their children to stand on their own two feet.

Fortunately, there are rules and protocols involving contact with ETI and one of them is a species of "prime directive" involving the interactions of civilizations on different frequencies of space - time and evolution.

Now we face this new interaction with other biokinds (some of them not from here and still others from here but slightly different) such as the Anunnaki that were born on earth . What should we do?

I always wanted to know, "if ETI is contacting earth, WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO TELL US? I care far more about that than all the fancy hardware in the universe.

In these precious and periolous days we have the opportunity to find out and verify.

THE "TRUTH" IS SLIPPERY BUT WHAT IS WILL SET YOU FREE!

2006-08-05T01:36:00.000-07:00

Funny how "truth" gets bandied about as if we all were knights in a crusade for humanity, and the bad guys were from some other species. Unidentified flying objects, aliens, government conspiracies, Roswell, retroengineering of alien technology, genomic and biological "interventions" by aliens on humans -- these and more are the battlegrounds for "the truth." Even the very notion that aliens themselves are a "government conspiracy" borders on the hilarious. As Ellie's father in Carl Sagan's Contact would put it, "if we are the only ones in this big universe, Ellie, it would be a mighty waste of space." Wouldn't it? These are "end times" and even the Bible warns that we shall know much more about now. But how have we muddied the waters! Would you recognize truth if it hit you in the face? Let's say an "alien" (yes, someone from another planet, not one from south of the Rio Grande) stood on E Street in downtown Washington, D.C. passing out leaflets that asked all of us to recognize them for who and what they are. Would we do that? Would you know how to recognize this being for what it is? Do your have the linguistic and conceptual tools to interact, let alone interface, with someone who is not from here, from this Earth?

Back in the '50s, a psycholinguist - Benjamin Lee Whorff - made an astute observation that applies to us today in this seemingly intractable problem of knowing the truth about extraterrestrial aliens and all that it implies and the accoutrements come along with it (the assumptions, language sets, perceptual sets, expectations, and attitudes we hold regarding "the subject"). The Whorffian hypothesis is simply this: if there is a word for it, it exists, and we can see it, grasp it and understand it with the aid and assistance of other words. Vis-avis aliens and extraterrestrial "intelligences," we are in no better shape today than were the indians on the island of La Hispanola on that fateful day of Columbus' galleons arriving at their shores. The indians couldn't see much of the technological vehicles and tools that brought the Spaniards there -- the large ships with their flowing sails, the cannons that rattled their eardrums and gave them notice of the Spaniards' arrival. They simply had no words for what they were seeing, and what they could see could only be in terms of things they could grasp and understand. You are today prisoners of your own language sets and language registers. And therein may well lie the slipperiness of "truth" and the value of truth ungrasped and misunderstood, not understood at all, or worse yet, rejected. Much of this has been pondered upon in closed circles, and feared. What could be worse than giving a show and the audience not grasping or understanding what they are seeing, or worse, rejecting the whole thing in a variety of reaction spectra?

My colleague, GuardianAngel-2, in the previous posting introduced the idea of this blog as "about time, finally some ACTION, not just WORDS. Well, yeah, that is quite correct and to the point. But also be aware that to grasp and understand what you will see and read here requires not just additional language registers on your part, but also a totally new and perhaps different languaging system altogether. And don't come back with comments, like: "I don't get it... why don't you explain things in plain English? What do you mean by...?, etc, etc, etc." If you don't understand something here, it's all right. Some time even we don't have a clue about some things, yet we strive to develop creative means of grasping and gaining a working understanding of what we deal with. The WORD, in the expression of a thoughtful man by the name of Dan Smith, is whole, holistic, even hologramic. (here's one word that will catch your eye, but perhaps not understand it immediately). The WORD, to use Dan's spirit of the LOGOS, is what we have, and what we are as Earth humans. And there is a whole physics of life that supports this contention that cannot be grasped and understood by ascerbic Copenhagenists. And, yes, Dan, the mathematics of this physics is reaching the status of "hologramic math," in that each new formalism invented to deal with holomovements in no-space, no-time, is part of the holographic mathematical patchquilt that makes possible grasp and understanding. But to advance as a species, we are all going to have to use the same tools Albert Einstein used in getting "in touch" with "spacetime" and his New Physics -- he "pushed" spacetime with his mind, and it gave way and he extended himself in ways others had heretothen not done. The rest, from our viewpoint in horizontal time, is history.

How, then, to avoid falling at the stepping into slippery truth-grasping? Well, perhaps an ever increasing dose of technology of intelligence acceleration without an energetic application would help. But then, you'll have to devise your own. Not impossible to do, but you'll have to think outside the box for it, and certainly with a mind as if from beyond this world. An intellectual cheaper way is to follow along the essays presented here and the reporting and reposting done here, and develop your own languaging system. You can then check by posting your comment(s) here. As for us, we're good at detecting, decoding and deciphering quickly real, genuine interest, and idiomaterial intelligence (often displayed by human beings who operate whole and integrated). These postings will develop a rhythm, character and speed of their own. You may even see fireworks between opposing points of views; these we will not hide. As someone, in an email sent to me recently said, there is raw, natural intelligence in humankind, and this intelligence is primed to respond to genuine, open, lively discussion and no horsepucky. After all, secrets are no longer possible. We now know that, and others in circles that matter to us are beginning to understand the import of this discovery. We are here to show that connectivity works. And we intend to make good use of this connectivity because it benefits all who are here, all who are human, and those in need who are not.

ACTION JOURNEY BEGINS

2006-08-03T14:26:00.000-07:00

FINALLY! Some ACTION, not just words! We are a bunch of guys and girls dedicated to doing some neat things with people who are not from here, and finding "fifth element" kinds of solutions to intractable problems that Copenhagen-bound mindsets cannot solve. Even those whose understanding of New Advanced Physics (NAP) is up to par will have some problems getting their minds around what can only best be described as thinking out of this world. Are we here to play, too? You bet! But the work is real, the discussion (or best yet, reporting) will be lively at times, its content...., well, at times incredible in the science fiction sense, by every bit true, in the sense it is happening, has happened, or have every indication WILL happen. This blog is mostly for each individual on a list, who can access it to dump his or her stuff and have others on the list react, cat-call, even smirk aloud at the posting of one or another. Each will wear a name-tag (or call sign-type designator) and will be recognized by others on the list. Those who are not on this list cannot post, but can react by way of invited comments and reactions. Reply is the option of the membership of this list.

So we begin. Preparations for the workings of this group are nearly complete. Membership was by invitation, according to a profile developed for the purposes of this project. We know there is unspoiled intelligence on the planet and we hope these will come out of the woodwork. Many of those on the list are bona fide smartalecks, albeit smart s.o.bs and d.o.bs. Yes, we are also politically uncouth, which means the women and men in this group are just as smartass as the best in the world. But take them seriously, because they are. In here we are going to talk about "theoretical," "applied," "nuisance," and "real-pain-in-the-ass" problems, some challenging, others dangerous, and still some well beyond our capabilities at the time, but which can be made tractable with aid. We will recognize this aid by another set of alphanumerics that designate species, sex (if and when applicable), approximate age, and place of origin. No, we are not here to provide catalog name and number to these folks. And no, we are neither interested in fueling the exopolitical appetites or imaginations already in play. What we are interested in is to show you what's up, how, why, what we (as members of this ACTION group) face, forthcoming and upcoming challenges we ALL face, and what is being done about this and that.

Until then, we remain in the background. Much more will come. In time... horizontal time, that is -- this local spacetime, and the indexing? Planet Earth, northern hemisphere...
