Greetings and pardon the intrusion,
Below is a post that recently appeared in
alt.consciousness,4th-way.
This is a newsgroup largley devoted to the discussion
of the ideas of one G.I.Gurdjieff -who was primarily
concerned with the field of human consciousness and
it's possible evolution.
I would like to be able to post a response to refute
this absurd claim and would eagerly welcome any
feedback regarding the mechanisms that he postulates
-such as does a meterorite actually have an electic
charge -if so what is it's magnitude, -does the atmosphere
actually "recoil" during meteor showers, could nerve "plexuses'
actually respond in the manner described -etc.
Any info will be much appreciated.
Please email responses to jamu at ix.netcom.com
Thank you,
