Thoughts travel July 31, 2011 3:40 pm Eri

Where is Richard when I could yell at him so loudly he could have heard me in Oklahoma! Another reason it was so unfair that he’s passed from us. RNE and I had an ongoing argument regarding science. He very much was hard and fast a hard science person. Me, I believe there is more than can currently be proved, things so wondrous as to be mind-boggling. I’m reminded that things we consider science today would have been considered voodoo magic in centuries previous to the 1900′s.

I argued that aliens could well have visited us here without having to spend years and years in space. I believe there may be some races with minds so powerful that they could take a spaceship and move it from there to here through mental power.

Now it seems that science is saying that thoughts can move thorough space. On SCIENCE tonight, there is a Through the Wormhole segment dealing with that subject. It comes on at 6 p.m. EDT (here in the Midwest it does, not sure when it might come on in California or elsewhere).

Richard’s answer always had to do with Mass and energy and therefore it was impossible. Now that they’re beginning to understand how thought travels (sending good vibes to people DOES work), one day soon, they’ll understand how thought, since it has no mass per se, can pick up things and move them easily, like leaves on the wind.

Damn, I wish Richard were here to argue with. I miss him. Our arguments were so much fun, so stimulating.

I hope you’re doing good work where you are now, my friend.
