The "new paradigm" to me is really just the old paradigm of reasonable skepticism (as opposed to debunkerism), and good, solid research. It isn't "sexy," but real science, and real history, and real research, seldom is.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by - much obliged for the kind words! :-)<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135527004414007062005-12-25T12:10:00.000-04:002005-12-25T12:10:00.000-04:00Isaac:Thanks for the info, and Merry Christmas to ...Isaac:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info, and Merry Christmas to you, too!<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135288937611339742005-12-22T18:02:00.000-04:002005-12-22T18:02:00.000-04:00Hi Paul,In relation to the possibility of obtainin...Hi Paul,<BR/><BR/>In relation to the possibility of obtaining tapes of the conference, I note that the website at the link below states : "Tapes and cds of most conferences are sold at the ARE by calling 1-800-333-4499".<BR/><BR/>See:<BR/>http://www.edgarcayce.org/conferences/clickthru/120205/description.asp<BR/><BR/><BR/>Wishing you a Merry Christmas,<BR/><BR/>Isaac KoiIsaac Koihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619755188522396631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135264069701077542005-12-22T11:07:00.000-04:002005-12-22T11:07:00.000-04:00If I were of a fannish bent (which I’m not) I woul...If I were of a fannish bent (which I’m not) I would be a big fan of Dr, Vallee, I’ve read most of his stuff (including Fastwalker which, as an ex-military type—I must say it confused me profoundly.) Vallee seems to have come closest to understanding this strange subject. He’s not part of the UFOlogy circus (at least not in the US) and he allows the data to drive his conclusions, very rare bird indeed! <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, most of his suppositions do not qualify as theories (they are not verifiable or falsifiable.) The idea of extra-spatial encounters with things that only partially exist in our realm is very intriguing and happens to fit the reports. But how do you study stuff that literally does not exist (not in a way we understand or *may be capable of understanding.*)<BR/><BR/>It’s almost anti-scientific because it so overwhelmingly complicates the field. Maybe that’s why I like him!The Odd Emperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127387562675002576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135196432153755912005-12-21T16:20:00.000-04:002005-12-21T16:20:00.000-04:00WM:That would be nice, but I suspect - and certain...WM:<BR/><BR/>That would be nice, but I suspect - and certainly would understand - that the conference organizers would be selling copies of the lectures, as most do these days, as opposed to distributing it for free, and then using the sales to off-set the costs of actually running the conference. If they do so, I would buy a copy. :-)Paul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135128783037034792005-12-20T21:33:00.000-04:002005-12-20T21:33:00.000-04:00Will:It would have been worth it just to see the l...Will:<BR/><BR/>It would have been worth it just to see the leading proponent of the ETH, Stan Friedman, sharing a stage (and, I'm told, dinner) with the leading proponent of the EDH.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention the fact that the weather was probably better in VB than it was here in Halifax!<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804735930733797952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10903320.post-1135128619454333102005-12-20T21:30:00.000-04:002005-12-20T21:30:00.000-04:00It's sad that I didn't realize this conference was...It's sad that I didn't realize this conference was going on in my own back yard!<BR/><BR/>:-/<BR/><BR/>WillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
