Man is the Medium

MAN IS THE MEDIUM BETWEEN
SPIRIT AND MATTER;
HE IS BETWEEN THE VISIBLE
AND THE INVISIBLE WORLD.
HE SUMS THEM UP IN HIS PERSON,
AS IN A UNIVERSAL CENTER.

~ Adrien-Emmanuel Roquette

Of Note: Ever heard of synthetic telepathy? Nope, didn't think so. That is because until now the Army was keeping a tight lid on the topic. Not so any longer. A lengthy article ran this month in Discover magazine as to how scientists were tapping the brain for ways to telegraph thoughts between soldiers via a "thought helmet." One of the lead researchers had been interested in the subject since the 1940's when he saw such a contrivance used in a science fiction classic. He had no idea that in 2008 he would be leading the laboratory that was trying to produce such a device, which would serve as a direct link between mind and machine. In the beginning, the scientists had no idea even where to start. Slowly they put together experiments that produced results, such as the difference in brain waves as volunteers thought different sounds like ahh and ohh. Along the way they have even made discoveries about basic brain functioning. At this point in time, the innovators are not sure if they will be able to create helmets that will provide communication in complete sentences, but so far the transmissions of Morse code thoughts have been almost 100% accurate. Not bad for three-years of work. It is predicted that one day telepathy will consciously be the main means of communication. Even now, it is a major communication method, but mostly at an unconscious level. But the experiments by the Army and others as published in popular magazines will pave the way for the concept to enter the mass consciousness via the media. This will lay the foundation for the acceptance of telepathy as the superior means of human communication with all the kingdoms in nature.

Today's Weather Report: The 20's Fahrenheit again predominated the thermometer. Seemed to be the norm most of the winter. Only a few days was it really frigid cold....well, maybe a few more than a few, but this time of year all that is forgotten. It's like having a baby; all the pain is forgotten once the little thing makes that first cry. I predict that one good rain would put most of the snow to bed for the winter. Last year in late March, spring began showing its face, and we can only hope for the same this year.
