It was one of my father's grand aunts, the Countess Greffulhe, who held one of the last great Paris 'Salons' - places at which the good and the great, and the very wicked(!), attended to pay court to their benefactrix.
Today, it is still possible, with some research and elaborate planning, to arrange to attend one of the rare few such things around. There is certainly, the Apartment 26 in Melbourne Australia, and there have been from time to time quite large gatherings at the upper floors, but not the very top one, of the Macquarie Hotel in Wentworth Street, Sydney. These are all strictly the province of a very select group of attendees always.Some European vineyards
have tasting halls that are
literally in their own
art galleries and museums.
Like this one in Portugal.
But you might be able to find a way in - as Dr Bill Harford did, in EWS.
If not for the Countess G., and her money and foresight, modern radio would not have been developed as it did do. She was a benefactor of that research.
So much for the military R&D budgets, whether black or open, of the US government. It has not done anywhere near as much. Alfred Loomis financed the nuke, not the US government.
I have just come from participating in an energetic discussion among a group of mostly retired US military people, on the vexxed subject of what it is the government might be doing with all of this current 'UAP' nonsense.
It is hard to get people out of their standard perception of the world, and have them look up and/or out at what goes on where the cash is, where the rich folk are, no doubt where also the rich privileged brats are too.
I suppose it is far too hard to have people accept that Musk and Zuckerberg are minnows when it comes to old money.
And that consequently, being minnows, neither do they have 'old knowledge...'
There is so much pulling on people's attention these days - you must do this, you must watch that, you must believe so-and-so.
Maybe it was ever thus, but today, the pace involved is tremendously high.
How are you supposed to enjoy yourself?! LOLIt will be midnight and you will be at first
all alone when you meet with your
'wine partner from the stars...'
Not really, I just like the color of
the pic!
The great wines are destinations, not journeys. They are not 'discoveries;' they are end-points.
It is ludicrous to expect that not having taken on all of the great knowledge of past figures of human intellect - the early geometers and mathematicians, the writers on morality and then later on on psychology - suddenly you can be a reliable analyst of the interaction of Mankind with an advanced Alien civilization, for instance, even should such a thing decide to openly disclose its presence to the world.
The US government's AARO - the face of the government's narrative about what it is encountering - ostensibly would say that it was at minimum, a venue via which Alien encounter could be officially logged and looked into.
But I say some small private rooms upstairs at the Wentworth Street hotel or in Apartment 26, is the actual place where you will meet with the true existential meaning of human destiny vis-a-vis ET Aliens.
Why would anyone suppose such creatures have no interest in the greatest Australian cabernet sauvignons, for example, or that they are not and could not be charmed with afternoon tea cakes by the same token? But that they are interested in backward (from their standards) US military anything??
You all talk about technology a lot as if to suggest it is the be-all and end-all of the human race's ability to progress up the Kardashev Scale.
The US government is not going to solve the riddle of ET Aliens any time soon.
I put it to you however, that neither is the simple instance of ET Aliens coming here and evidencing themselves clearly and obviously going to necessarily solve the moral equations of advanced society; that all advanced societies must deal with and resolve in order to endure.These kinds of brands will never
let you down.
I further put it to you that if someone (as I am now doing) tells you that you can be extremely wealthy and materially successful in your natural life (living a full and complete normal Earthly lifespan) by accessing the great knowledge of people of the past and feeding that through the filter of today's technical systems, and that this will in any case take you to the 'Enoch' square in the game of life - then you have a choice as to whether to continue to believe that the US government's or any government's narrative on Aliens and UAPs is more significant, practically-speaking, to you personally...
Or whether that this place right here is more important.
I will show you Aliens; have already done that many times in here.
It's up to you decide the logic of continuing down a senseless track of worshiping and glorifying death-dealing 'technology' instead of diligently following the trail the Daedalus of the ancient past already laid for you, that leads you out of the maze of human mortality: you either live, or you die.
The Western God-story already made a template - from basic liquid to complex substance; from death to life. That template is important and it is morally correct and significant.
'Technology' in the hands of governments and the military just means death to someone. It doesn't mean life and it doesn't mean progress.
You think we have been on some linear path of Evolution and progress and development.
We have not. It is Cain and Abel today, just as it always was.
This is non-linear domain stuff.After this will be a free
(and it will be free) 'account'
of a very challenging
aspect of meeting
super-advanced 'people.'
...I always call them
just - 'people.'
Human life is a non-linear domain reality thing - it is not 'just' a matter of someone living so and so many years on this planet.
You follow this nonsense about the US having crashed craft or remnants of such things or that they have accurate intellectual understanding of advanced Alien beings and you will end up where these things of governments and rulers always end up.
You go with me and you might find that you get the shock of your life.
But it's an exclusive affair. You cannot give this kind of information out to the general public, principally because it is really true, that a person must have gone through all of the steps of attaining the knowledge that you could say begins with Pythagoras and Parmenides and goes through Newton and Planck but also includes Jung and Freud too.
It's not that 'the world' cannot handle 'the truth.' Or that the great religions will materially suffer if the truth were completely known. It is that no one has the time to devote to what is absolutely vital and necessary to know, and that most people do not care (about those things) anyway.
The reason we stick little stories and accounts and narratives here about meetings with Aliens, is to avoid showing those meetings! Because that would be premature given the necessary pre-knowledge required. On account of what I said in the paragraph just before this one. WTF would happen, can you just imagine, if such visual recordings were shown widely on-line anywhere!
But if you read, you are potentially the type of person with the intellect and the time.
The time to study.
Stars exist, that is existentially obvious. It is an obvious fact. There are civilizations there - that is existentially (logically) probable or possible and plausible. But if there are then they would have been there for 'a long time.' aka 'A long time far far way' - light years. 'Mortals' cannot go there.
This means you either stay inside this linear trap that is the standard human race or step out into the non-linear domain in which 'you' can certainly travel to far places and return if you wish.
Is this all too strong drink for y'all?
Looking for kind of weird gray-skinned scrawny ugly creatures as representatives of some advanced Alien species is just showing no respect for the magnificence of what the human organism is, and/or certainly could be.
Don't come to me with your 'prescriptions from medicos!' LOL
Jesus heals, bro. Doctors take your money. Be honest with yourself here.
