Greetings Geneva: You say"human knowledge is so limited anything is a possibility" then go on to the 'uh uh's', and weird beliefs of some on this list, Art Bell, etc. So isn.t anything a possibility? Good for you for blowing your mind - an empty mind can often create the blank slate needed for the possibilities to show up. Let me quote a friend who was an artist and visionary of the weird(other dimensions sometimes available through mind blowing). "Life is not only stranger than we suppose, it is stranger than we can suppose." Terence McKenna Blessings, Barbara and Woody
