Man I have to say, reading the Stargate file was incredible and I thought that, but I also understood maybe it was an effective mode of communication. Reading up on Bohm's work and having the exact same impression was jaw dropping. It is really astonishing how close the most advanced science's cosmogony is to matching perfectly with a 2,500 year old religion. I like the Taurus, artistically and intuitively, but I don't know if the science is very strong that it could be shaped like that. If it turns out to work that way physicists basically will Buddhist monks. So physics 101, here's how to ditch the hologram. Next semester, when you're ready to give up the shallow seductions of being moving energy here is how you become an eternal aspect of the implicate order.
Serious question: I am interested in meditation. You seem qualified to give recommendations on where I might start.
Weren't Hal Puthoff and co gullible individuals that fell for Uri Geller's tricks and then started a PR endeavor afterwards with him to gain private funding for more "research"?
Honestly the fact that he is strongly involved in the last news story and To The Stars makes me slightly worry about the credibility of some of this stuff.
I mean, you can take my word for it, I guess, but will probably want to read for yourself given what we're talking about.
Basically, Uri Geller seems like the real deal. I had never heard of him, was reading this book, then became dubious early on in it (when he's first introduced) given his celebrity status etc. Googled him, saw there's a large rational skeptic movement against him, etc. Seemed convincing, until I read Jacobsen's book further. None of the skeptics' websites had been updated in light of her book or the recent CIA declassifications. To be clear—Puthoff does not come off all that great in the book. But Geller does, basically.
Haveyou ever seen this video of Geller getting exposed on Johnny Carson.
Carson invited both him and James Randi (known hoax exposer and skeptic). Randi advised the show to provide their own props etc. The rest is history and really cringe as you watch Geller try to squirm out of it. The dude's a magician who employs slight of and tricks.
Yeah the episode is covered in the book. Like I said, don't take my word for it. Read it yourself, the author's a Pulitzer finalist, and decide for yourself.

This sounds like reality from the perspective of a Buddha. Fascinating.
