   <title>What will/would the Awakening be like?</title>
   <link>http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000209.htm</link>
   <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/pic/nl/catpic/128/4.gif&quot; title=&quot;Category: Thoughts&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;20&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot;&gt;For years, many including myself have been writing about a coming shift in consciousness - a psychic/spiritual emergence or Awakening. Since this sie is all about the coming New Civilization, I thought I&#039;d pose the question here as to what people here feel that might be like.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;I am currently writing a novel series about the transition, the time in which we make the change in consciousness, the apocalypse, the transitioning to the fifth world, or whatever one wants to call it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There will most likely be a series of books (the first of which is pretty much done and looking for a publisher). The final book will be that in which we make the above-mentioned transition, whatever that might look like.  I am currently trying to form a picture to the conclusion in my mind as I write a general backstory for the series.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My questions for the general NCN world are this:&lt;br&gt;1) How do you think a transition will actually occur (if it does)?&lt;br&gt;2) Will it be associated with 2012, or some other time?  Gradual or sudden?  etc...&lt;br&gt;3) What do you think the world will look like after such a transition?&lt;br&gt;4) What would life be like in such a world? &lt;br&gt;5) Will it be Psychic emergence? Some form of enlightenment? Something else? Or will we simply learn (somehow) to live together in a better way?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have a zillion questions about this, and I&#039;ve played with some ideas myself. But I&#039;m most interested in the perspective of people in NCN, since this group is about the New Civilization.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let me know what you think.&lt;br&gt;Thanx,&lt;br&gt; -Craig Lang</description>

This one is on a recent dream I think is symbolically important to the life path of myself and others.

   <title>Not everyone is a skeptic...</title>
   <link>http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000207.htm</link>
   <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/pic/nl/catpic/128/2823.gif&quot; title=&quot;Category: Experiences&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;20&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot;&gt;A fried of mine who teaches aeronautical technology, invited me to present a lecture on UFOs to her Aerospace/Aeronautical teacher&#039;s group. So last night, I presented my &quot;UFO 101&quot; lecture to their group.  While I was expecting them to be at least somewhat skeptical, I found that the reception was positive, almost surprisingly so. I found that several in the group had had sightings, and at least one person had apparently experienced a close encounter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My conclusion from this small data point is that the phenomenon reaches into nearly every corner of our society, bringing the contact experience to all walks of life.  I also note that it is becoming increasingly accepted in areas of society where in an earlier time, it would have been rejected out of hand.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000207.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

   <title>The Ark and The Grail - An evening of fascination and discernment</title>

Yet I found them both fascinating and a bit reachy. What do you think?&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000206.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

A truly fascinating time - and for me, a totally unique experience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This time, I spent most of my time in the vendor room, selling &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theCosmicBridge.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Cosmic Bridge&lt;/a&gt; rather than in seminars and workshops. However, I did sell lots of copies of Bridge and got to know a lot of folks in the guild that I probably would not have met otherwise.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000205.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

I had an interesting thread of synchronicities over the weekend, involving dreams, a Minnesota Orchestra concert, and an earthquake in Hawaii.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000202.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

   <title>Aliens, Allies and Discernment</title>

   <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/pic/nl/catpic/128/4.gif&quot; title=&quot;Category: Thoughts&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;20&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot;&gt;This weekend, I finished up corrections to the final proof of my book, The Cosmic Bridge, Close Encounters and Human Destiny - about the evolving relationship between humanity and the Visitors.  As I was busy writing, I found something weighing on my mind.  It was a bit of a surprise, as I usually ignore such things - but in this case, it was a talk I attended at the MUFON conference last weekend.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I had a great time at the conference, in spite of the fact that I had been battling a sinus infection for the last week or so.  I went to a large number of talks on various aspects of the UFO phenomenon.  They covered topics such as sighting trends, UFO physics, the coverup and the alien agenda.  But the talk that gave me the most pause for thought was the one on the Ethics of Contact and The Alien Agenda.  This talk really got the gears turning in my mind... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000200.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

   <title>Hidden Contact -- The Fermi Paradox and The Deardorff Hypothesis</title>
   <link>http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000199.htm</link>
   <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/pic/nl/catpic/128/2821.gif&quot; title=&quot;Category: Reports&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; hspace=&quot;20&quot; vspace=&quot;10&quot;&gt;In my last posting, I lamented the lack of evidence for contact.  Yet I also indicated that there WAS enough evidence to convince me that there really is a mystery.  As I subsequently thought about both the posting, and the comments people had made in reply, I decided that I had simply rediscovered what is known as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc287.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fermi Paradox&lt;/a&gt;.  This is the conflict between the idea that there are most likely many ET civilizations, and the observation that (from a conservative scientific perspective) there appears to be little evidence of contact with them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One solution to the Fermi Paradox is called the Deardorff Hypothesis, first described by Dr. James Deardorff in his article, &quot;A Possible Extraterrestrial Strategy for Earth.&quot; in the book &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0380777290/qid=1152308595/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/002-0349925-1629655?s=books&amp;v=glance&amp;n=283155&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alien Update&lt;/a&gt;, edited by Timothy Good.&lt;br&gt;In this model, he proposes that the Visitors are primarilly observers, and interact with us mostly in a covert manner.  At this stage of our development, they deem that we are not yet ready for contact.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have attached a section from &quot;The Cosmic Bridge&quot; that discusses this idea.  Feel free to look it over and give me any comments. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v128/__show_article/_a000128-000199.htm&quot;&gt;more &amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
