Hi you guys, a few misc. notes here.
I admit I'm having a problem focusing on a lot right now; on some
level I feel like it's somehow insulting or trivial to discuss
mundane things with all that's going on in the world. But oh well.
This is my corner of it I guess.
1. Interview with Mel Riley is back on now. This should happen
sometime in the next week or two, and should end up being published
around mid-April.
2. Interview with Ed May is about 1/3 done. The questions were
serious and he was taking real time to answer as completely as he
could and then got sidetracked by work someone was paying him for,
lol. That will eventually wrap itself up. I was going to publish
what we had and changed my mind. Then to him we'll have already done
one interview. I think I have more guilt leverage if "the" interview
is still hanging in the air LOL.
3. I was thinking about what "serious" (!) "focus groups" do in
other subjects. Often, they pick a given book that is either about
the topic or simply related to it, and chapter by chapter, discuss
that. You know, addressing the subjects covered in each chapter. It
occurred to me that we could do this with any of the books in the
field if anybody's up for that. If so, I would almost like to go
back in time to an early one, like say McMoneagle's MIND TREK, and
then work our way up to the present. There aren't that many books in
the field frankly. And then once we got to the present, we could
pick up many of the older classics such as the ones Targ is
republishing. And maybe a couple of those in the 70's but they are
hard to find for most people. It would be educational. (I am
secretly a luddite, is why this is creeping in. :-))
And it might give a chance for many list members who don't feel
they're "qualified" (?!) because they're either new or not
practicing, a chance to participate in something, regardless of one's
interests or activities, anybody can have thoughts about a book.
4. The 'project' I mentioned previously is going well. I'm kinda
busy and my main coworker for it is going on vacation for a bit, but
we're hoping to open it around mid-April.
5. I went looking for RV FAQ links the other day. Aside from the
main one on the parapsychological association website, and one on my
website, and some more specifics-oriented/personalized on Joe and
Lyn's website, I didn't actually find any! I went to all the RV
websites on my lists. So this made me think that perhaps, given the
people on this list represent a variety of methods, perhaps we should
create a form of FAQ. But instead of coming to any consensus, which
would be impossible (as I once argued on the stargate list), we just
come up with questions, and then one at a time, everybody who wants
to contribute an answer can. Then when it's done I'd wrap it into an
RV FAQ and post it on firedocs as an alternative to the one I wrote
personally. That would seem more like one from "the field". Anybody
who's interested say Ay. First we should work on the Q's.
Well, gotta go. I have to work on sewing some pretty little skirts
with lace and beads all over for my six year old. And our new
tangerine shower curtain with colorful daisy rings is supposed to go
up this weekend (for Spring!). LOL. It's so funny, how much stuff I
buy is based on what she would like. I've worn stuff she's made me
around town before. People look at me funny, this lopsided big
garish plastic beaded necklace for example. ;-) Motherhood really
does warp yer brain.

Hi PJ,
LOL!...if you ever put a pic up to the group archives I'd love to see
that necklace!
I just don't know how you manage to do all you do PJ..you are a source of
constant wonder to me! If you could please package up and send me just a
tiny bit of your enthusiasm and boundless energy I would be sincerely
grateful :-).
I like the book idea, and talking about individual chapters one at a time
would give us the chance to dash off and dig out our old copies to have a
quick 'swot' before discussion starts ;-).
Kind regards,
Glyn

Funny you should mention gifts your daughter made for you and wearing
them about...I recently came across a macrame beaded necklace...one thast
my daughter made for me ...many years ago...when she was under 10...she
is now 26...and I put it on...and havn't taken it off for weeks now...I
even forget it is there...except for when people compliment me on it...or
I catch a glimpse in the bathroom mirror...and I am always sdurprised ro
see it there...hahah...Yeah...I guess motherhood causes
insanity...,g>...but I do
miss her...and it is so sweet......I saved every card/art
work/folder/etc
for each of my children...I think moms rv all the time...I can close my
eyes and remember my children at any age...In a progression as
well...,g>in the environment we lived in at that time ...Memories are
priceless...
Love & Light & Laughter
Mali'o...aka...Dawna

I like that. We started one back on Farsight on Cosmic Voyage. :)
It didnt go very far for obvious reasons.

Yeah, I think there were some interesting stories there, some things I
wondered why we never heard any more about.

I would like to see in one place the various theories from
expereinced/professional
viewers. If we have to start with "What is RV?" ohh well, but then I want to
know
what everyone says RV is good for. What accuracy rates for what types of
targets?
How important is structure? Do I really need a black pen? How many ideograms
should I do?
How do changes made to the original CRV by TRV and SRV (etc) improve the data?
Who invented hrvg?
