My purpose in posting the article below is not to be alarmist, at least not in the usual sense. The purpose of Project Mind, as you may realize, is to vastly accelerate scientific and technological progress by enabling the whole body to become Mind. This is so that creative vision can become holistic enabling a global view of how matter, on all levels, functions precisely in order to avoid the dangers that are due to the narrow creative vision that brings the mishaps we commonly attribute to "Murphy's Law."

Tue Jul 5, 7:51 AM ET

MOSCOW - NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a
comet raised more than cosmic dust — it also brought a lawsuit from a
Russian astrologer.

Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep
Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late
Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the
newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed
hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.

My, 70 years of materialist hegonomy under communism and not only could the KGB not stamp out religion, they couldn't even stop astrology! Pretty sad...

Devor13_devor@USA.NET31_Tue, 12 Jul 2005 07:15:00 +0200542_iso-8859-1 The Four Wives
Once upon a time there was a rich king who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the king faced a problem, he could [...]35_12Jul200507:15:00+0200devor@USA.NET 1235 316 75_Not quite what I meant -- Re: A joke or something to contemplate seriously?12_Elliot Pines18_epines7186@AOL.COM31_Tue, 12 Jul 2005 05:13:27 -0400585_us-ascii It would be best just to stick with the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation) -- not only one of the most ancient Kabbalistic texts, but a text which is specifically referred to in the Talmud (though in surface context of resolving a question of Hebrew grammer / pronounciation, as I recall). Elsewhere, too, the Talmud also speaks much on the subject of the effects of natural tendecies ("mazal" -- literally, star constellation -- areas of life direction around which free choice will play out) based upon weekday of birth and hour (i.e., complex of planetary influence).
