Post No. 3,537 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday 26th September, 2026

I recently found the following interestingoand/orouseful, and am posting them here inocase anyoneoelse does asowelll.   

  • “A Vision for Humanity: Convergent Themes Across Trance-Channeled ETI Communication” An Institute of Noetic Sciences webinar, presented by Dr. Helané Wahbeh, recorded on 18th September, 2026, available free to the public until 2nd October, 2026 (US dates) at here   “What happens when independent trance channelers, working under controlled conditions, are asked the same questions about the same extraterrestrial intelligences? And what do those communications actually say? In this ConnectIONS Live webinar, Dr. Helané Wahbeh presents findings from three peer-reviewed studies examining trance-channeled ETI communications using semantic analysis, structured interviews, and qualitative thematic methods. While briefly covering the innovative research design, the heart of this talk explores the content itself, the striking themes that emerged independently across channelers and sources: that consciousness is foundational, time is non-linear, energy is abundant, telepathy is natural, and humanity is in a pivotal period of transition within a larger interspecies ecology. Regardless of where one stands on the source of these communications, the vision they articulate, of ethical development, inner transformation, and collective readiness, offers a compelling and hopeful framework for how we might move forward together.”   I looked at this further in   “Post No. 3,535 - “A Vision for Humanity””   https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/2026/09/post-no-3535-vision-for-humanity.html   


On society, governance, humanorights, etc (noting the childish thinking of M_G_):     

  • “MAGA Thinks Like Children Do”   https://youtu.be/9ooP5PD686w   or   https://lucasbean.substack.com/p/trump-supporters-think-like-children   “Construal Level Theory”   Conservatives naturally think in concrete terms (as children do), not abstract (which is what adults do), but when FORCED to think abstractly, their bigotry and intolerance disappears. The presenter describes conservatives as “lazy thinkers” - which is why they succumb to the childishness of propaganda. The source of these assertions was not provided on YouTube, but IS on the Substack link - and this is consistent with my experience. It also suggests, IMO, that proper teaching and support when they are children might help fix the problem.   AND ALSO   “Before America's Midterms: Hitler Didn't Rise Because of Democracy”   https://youtu.be/ZQAVRVNtWmQ   “An excerpt from a new book by Dana Bash and David Fisher, published weeks before the midterms, points to Weimar Germany's multiparty, proportional democracy as the weakness that let extremists in and produced H_tol_r.   The Germans themselves concluded the opposite.   After the catastrophe, they didn't reject multiparty democracy and proportional representation. They leaned into them — and so did most of Europe. What they rejected was what actually produced the catastrophe: enabling too few people to exercise authority. A president who could rule by decree and hand the chancellorship to the loser of the voters' verdict. In November 1932, the N_oz_s lost two million votes and 34 seats, and less than three months later Hindenburg appointed H_tol_r. Conservative politicians pushed anti-democratic forces into the constitutional order, expecting to manipulate them for their own power.   So the Germans moved power to the people's representatives, made the president a formality, and built checks against democracy's enemies. Parliament elects the chancellor. A chancellor can only be removed by electing a replacement. 5% threshold for entry. A constitutional court able to ban parties seeking to destroy democracy — used against a N_oz_s successor party in 1952 and against the Communists in 1956. Fourteen chancellors in under fourteen years of Weimar. Ten chancellors since 1949.”

IMO, OTAAT (“one term at a time”) is the next action to save representative  democracy, along with establishment of an organisation of human-rights observing  democracies as a functional alternative to the UN (especially the veto-sabotaged UN SC) which is a casualty of this war, but also note this “Vision for Humanity”

Post No. 3,453 - Thoughts of an alleged deep thinker

Recently a friend described me as “a deep thinker”, which has never happened to me before - that I can recall. 

It is possible that others may have thought that, but wrongly decided I “knew” it - a particularly pernicious problem that afflicts many combative professions, in my opinion, and which denied me the encouragement and boost to my confidence that the actual comment did (a lot of people have slagged off at me over the years for a range of issues, which is one of the reasons I took early retirement from engineering [where the criticism included “not being a team player” - when I acted in accordance with my ethics], and is also one of the reasons I have not bothered doing things like trying to write about my specialty in engineering, or about sailing, and so on). 

One of the reasons I have considered stopping blogging or posting on Substack is the lack of feedback - I keep going out of a stubborn sense of principle, and a hope that someone in the future may find something I have done worthwhile. 

So ... if there is someone you admire for something, make sure to tell them. Assuming they “know” could be wrong - and is likely to be wrong for many women, people of colour, autists, introverts/HSPs, victims of trauma, etc. 

 

There was another comment by my friend which intrigued me and got me thinking further, which was that the deep thinkers he knew usually find a comfortable life on “the fringe” - which I interpreted as a lifestyle with low physical engagement with society (although possibly spiritual engagement, given the example of Alan Watts * that he cited).  

So ... I wonder ... does that mean they lived alternative lifestyles, or somewhat conventional lives but with minimal engagement with society (or the combative economic parts of society), or were buried in academia somewhere? 

How do I find a comfortable way to live? 

If I had no dependents I know what I would do, how I would live (writing, reading, and maybe doing a little woodwork or sailing ... and doing some artwork), but that is five years away. 

It would seem I have to find a way to make an adequate income and, despite that, survive for another five years, and hope the damage done is recoverable ...  

If I had received such a comment a few decades ago, I would have actively changed my lifestyle then - which is another reason to remember to tell the people you admire that you do. 

I would have finished all my books years ago, and people could have used them during the current series of disasters ...   

Ah well. 

Maybe I can write a book about being an unappreciated deep thinker 😂 

But no ... I will continue as I am, and hope to survive.
