Singularity of the Apocalypse

clipper's remarks: Goodbye Dubai.

London Society is the world's oldest association of Earth scientists, founded in 1807, and its Commission acts as a college of cardinals in the adjudication of the geological time-scale.

To the question "Are we now living in the Anthropocene?" the 21 members of the Commission unanimously answer "yes." They adduce robust evidence that the Holocene epoch -- the interglacial span of unusually stable climate that has allowed the rapid evolution of agriculture and urban civilization -- has ended and that the Earth has entered "a stratigraphic interval without close parallel in the last several million years."

the current ruthless competition between energy and food markets, amplified by international speculation in commodities and agricultural land, is only a modest portent of the chaos that could soon grow exponentially from the convergence of resource depletion, intractable inequality, and climate change.

A Gleam of Sufi Hope in the Darkness

clipper's remarks: <<<Another belief he shares with Sufism is the idea that God, humanity and the natural world are all linked, and might even be part of a single entity, a sort of cosmic trinity. This idea has practical consequences. For example, it suggests that a believer will love and respect humanity and the natural world as they would God. It also means that no one should be seen as an outsider.>>>
Who today represents a Christian counterpart?

The Turkish cleric Fethullah Gülen, winner of our intellectuals poll, is the modern face of the Sufi Ottoman tradition. At home with globalisation and PR, and fascinated by science, he also influences Turkish politics through links to the ruling AK party

Is it possible to be a true religious believer and at the same time enjoy good relations with people of other faiths or none? Moreover, can you remain open to new ideas and new ways of thinking?

He promotes an open brand of Islamic thought and, like the Iran-born Islamic philosophers Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Abdolkarim Soroush, he is preoccupied with modern science

Unusually for a pious intellectual, he and his movement are at home with technology, markets and multinational business, and especially with modern communications

Sufism is integral to Ottoman as well as wider Islamic history, and in spite of attempts at repression, it remains popular and powerful in many Muslim countries

Calll for Lasting Tribute to Bush

A San Francisco group says a fitting tribute to President George W Bush would be to name a sewage plant after him.

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The group, calling itself the Presidential Memorial Committee of San Francisco, wants the issue voted on at this November's election.

"It's important to remember our leaders in the right historical context," said petition organiser Brian McConnell.

The Republican Party thinks the plan stinks, and it will fight the measure.

"In President Bush's case, we think that we will be cleaning up a substantial mess for the next 10 or 20 years," said Mr McConnell.

"The sewage treatment facility's job is to clean up a mess, so we think it's a fitting tribute."

Oceanside could become Bush's Bay Area memorial

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 onion, chopped

6 cloves garlic, peeled

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Place potatoes in a shallow roasting pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper; stir to coat. Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are browned. Reserve 1 cup of roasted potatoes.

In a 3 quart saucepan heat remaining oil; saute onions for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and garlic and stir in broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Ever dreamt of sleeping on a Greek beach for the summer, sitting round a fire listening to scratchy rock' n' roll under a starry sky? You're not 40 years too late. Ben Mallalieu finds a tiny island where the 1960s never quite came to an end

Gavdos is a small dot on the map 50km south of Crete; it is the southernmost of all the Greek islands and possibly the southernmost point of Europe if you don't count the Canaries. Its permanent indigenous population is around 35 with a similar number of "outsiders" from the rest of Greece and Europe. It has no hotels and fewer than 100 apartment beds for tourists, so most of the 1,000 or so summer migrants sleep on the beaches or under the trees,

clipper's remarks: Alternative Science has been known under many titles for thousands of years. It has always been an alternative science because it requires the investigator to go outside of their normal perceptions. Shamans and healers of all ages share a common heritage with the Alternative Scientist. A world of patterns, geometry and subtle radiation are operative to both. Alternative science struggles with language to describe the experience of subtle energy. Teaching how to manipulate this subtle energy has always been a challenge. Borderland Sciences preserves this collection so you can aquire your own education.MORE!

20th Century Collection These research texts provide a look into the early resarch of subtle energy by qualified scienctist before teh materialistic paradigm squeezed vitalism out of the picture.many of these texts hold secrets and models of the physical universe that were classified when they were completely worked out by academic engineers.

BORDERLAND SCIENCES RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Borderland Sciences was founded by Meade Layne in 1945 for the purpose of investigating into realms normally beyond the range of basic human perception and physical measurement.

Today, Borderland Sciences continues to be the premier information resource for discerning scholars and advanced researchers on the frontiers of science and awareness.

The primary function we have served for the past 63 years is both the advancement and preservation of Lost Science. A quick look at the catalog will demonstrate the extent of our rare collection.

The Journal of Borderland Research/Round Robin has been a repository of countless observations and unique research by Borderland Science Research Associates for 63 years. All the back issues to 1945 are available.

There is nothing quite like the acquisition of knowledge. The lamp of Borderland Sciences shines in the darkness lighting a path for the intrepid investigatior. This is the essential curriculum!
