so the moon is the size of the us, canada, and russia combined, & it's hypothetically possible to purify regolith into enormous glass panels, so we should just greenhouse the whole thing to like 250m up and export the excess carbon dioxide from our atmosphere to there. Sprinkle on some lichens or whatever random bullshit seeds and stuff from random spots on earth. There's basically no possible way this could ever be a mistake. Lack of vision imo.

There's a neat concept called paraterraforming that's basically this. A lot of moons and planets are never going to be "naturally" habitable so the basic idea is build a ton of kilometer+ tall towers and span a roof over them to enclose a colony so the air gets kept in and radiation kept out. From there it could be gradually expanded until the whole surface is enclosed.

I tried doing astral projection a long time ago now. I've tried again since but not with the same discipline and vigor (one-offs). My experiments ended last time when I couldn't get past the "vibration" phase. Vibration my rear end felt like I was being swung in a hammock across the length of the room. You try staying calm through that. Anyway I should try again, yes yes. Any techniques the thread favors?

Monroe found this thing where you can achieve weird poo poo via (i typoed cia lol) audio and semi meditation states that involves headphones and different sound pulses on the left and right to get both side in sync. hemi sync. you can find the collection easily.

the cia were involved with the program and were involved with his institute quite overtly actually. but some of us are playing with his stuff. i have reservations considering its heritage but its interesting poo poo

EDIT: I will accept Woo.

Passport to Magonia

The Day After Roswell

The Mothman Prophecies

The UFO Experience

Communion

Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens

Humanoid Encounters

those are some classics to get you started. the early UFO lit of the 50s is interesting but obviously rather dated; worth reading for context and history - Behind the Flying Saucers, The Coming of the Saucers, The Flying Saucers are Real, etc.

a lot of us itt are fans of William Corliss. not UFO specific but look up the Sourcebook project; they are compilations of anomalous activity of all kinds throughout he ages. books are hard to find now though.

I used music in my astral attempts! I'd stick to instrumental ambient or prog-rock type stuff. An important key to achieving an appropriate state of relaxation was allowing your mind to run with the music and create images without your conscious input. This was tricky since it's easy to fall asleep doing this, but the music helped keep you awake.

It sounds like he still believes it at least to some degree, at least that's what I get out of the Medium article where he talks about it being related to remote viewing.

I really struggle with all the Skinwalker Ranch stuff. It all sounds so fanciful. But then there's some big, and I guess, reputable names checking it out and investing in it.. but I find it such a hard sell. And it has the stink of Lue's "believe me there's footage out there that'll knock your socks off!" about it too. Amazing stories sure, but it's just too sexy to be legitimate.

I'm listening to the Astonishing Legends episode about Skinwalkers in the Pentagon with Georgie Knapp. It's interesting, but I'm just not sold. I'm open minded on the woo, but Skinwalker Ranch is just.. eh

Skinwalker and all the stories are to UAP/para stuff as the film U571 is to the actual story of the capture of the enigma machine.

Just Americana bullshit colliding with a popular topic imo. If there's some kernel of truth there you won't find it I don't think.

What's so hard to believe about that, though, considering the 2021 pentagon report on the UAP Task Force admitted they have hundreds of videos of uaps?

I don't see why the skinwalker ranch incidents (or more like the "uintah basin incidents") are any different than all these other crazy UFO stories we hear. I think it's interesting that there are stories of weird poo poo going back centuries in that area, and that the people who have an interest in it in the modern day include bigelow and his science dudes, and the DIA, and not just random UFO nerds. Maybe it's nothing but stories, or maybe some of it is true (hell yeah freaky shadow giants and UFOs) but I also think the word "skinwalker" as well as the TV shows about it make the whole thing sound extra dumb/fake

It's a pretty common report that once you start looking for weird poo poo, you start seeing way more weird poo poo. There's an argument to be made that the Uintah Basin is just an area where people not only are socially conditioned to watch for this sort of thing but also there is less (not no) social stigma about talking about such things.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
