Show some common sense? > > Ed Well, I’m hoping I will be successful in my attempts to instigate a global new age just after the coming new (dark) moon, and that my low/working/wilderness years will end then, though I may have to wait until Chinese New Year (also a new/dark moon) or even the Groundhog Day that follows closely after it in 2025. If I am successful then I expect that I will be revealed to the world and my essential messages on my mystic web page will get some attention. But until then I guess you can just ignore me. And my Ph.D. is in Geophysics, or effectively applied mathematics applied to Geophysics, so you have more background in classics and philosophy than I do, though I did proofread a book on philosophy of science that my Ph.D. supervisor wrote. But a Ph.D. in any subject gives skills in research and in pattern recognition. However I admit that while I have evidence for some of the figures I mentioned, usually it has been a partial parallel, and some of my theory is based on divination, which has been unreliable for me over the years. And indeed I have spent little time in the local university library since 1997, but should do some research there soon to confirm or deny my divinations. Are there any other historical or mythological names, either male or female, that you know of who I should investigate? (I ask that of any other readers as well.) And thanks for the feedback, though I have to classify you among the Doubting Thomases, but any feedback is better than silence. -- David Dalton [email protected] https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And the cart is on a wheel; And the wheel is on a hill; And the hill is shifting sand; And inside these laws we stand” (Ferron)
