I had a good time at the Conference, wounds aside. You would think with all the High Voltage around it would have been a bit different.....say.....a pretty good cut AND and electrocution but the Universe was smiling...in a wry manner....the power was off.
I did not speak but listened at this conference and as last year, I was invited by Andy. Kim attended with me and as she is prone to do when the science discussions start to get heavy, she gets that deer in the head light look....but she was trapped.....I had the keys to the car.
I want to be careful as to what to talk about owing to the NDA that was signed, however, in general, I enjoyed the talk given on the electrostatic vs. magnetic containment systems. I can see how this would be similar to what the Farnsworth fusor uses but from what I saw, this is much stronger a field.
I will admit that I was lost at times in regard to the main speaker with the virtual reality when they were talking about the medical aspects but found the idea quite intriguing. I found the concept similar to what was or is a sensory deprivation unit. I remember back in the 80's how this was tried to attain altered states of consciousness. Never tried it, don't know if I want to try since I have developed a bit of claustrophobia since my NDE. I get queasy wearing a welding helmet from time to time.
I didn't get to eat a lobster. I had a very good lobster roll, shrimp, both fried and on the barbie and Kim had one as well. It was stuffed so full of meat that she gave me some to finish. We both found Maine to be a beautiful state and I wouldn't mind living there....but I hate snow....another change since the NDE but I do love being in the woods when it is snowing. In some ways, it is a bit sensory deprivation for it is very quiet for all the wildlife is usually hunkered down but I digress.
Don't know if there will be a Conference next year but I hope I am invited again....hint.....hint......but if I am, I am sure it will be a learning experience. It is refreshing to be in a group of outside of the box thinkers, some of which make me question my own thinking. One person criticized me for the little I talked about my work on the forum and the photos etc I put up. My reply was that I had hoped it would instill in others the enthusiasm to explore their ideas. All the woman did was to smile at me. I think it was a good smile. I think she was testing me but then I take it for what it is on the surface.
I have found that these individuals are very secretive about their work as far as the public is concerned, I can appreciate that concept. Most of them are actively working on their ideas, spend their own money and they deserve to pursue it in the manner they wish. I have noticed that they all expect to help mankind but their view is to build a knowledge base that is shared with all those who attend. I don't believe I have been of help but then who knows what someone will take from a conversation. One requisite of the group is that the knowledge of the group is shared among the group. One person told me at the BBQ that the concept was that any knowledge one person had would not be lost if they passed on but would be held by the group to be freely given to the right person. I liked that idea for I do worry about what would happen if I passed on.
Thank You Andy for inviting me again.
