This is an album some of you may have been looking for. The “going down” some is track four of the Imagine album. The title escapes me. The final two songs are a late, but long anticipated addition. As you know there are eleven dimensions. There are the four in the space-time continuum we observe in the here and now. The Fifth Dimension is the Dark dimension. This is the realm of the Moon in Dante’s writings and as you know “actually, it’s all dark”. But this is also known as the Twilight Zone dimension. This is where what is Real and what is Not is really not all that important. We have explained the physics behind this dimension several times. The last six realms respectively represent Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They also reflect the “stable” electron shells of an atomic structure. We could regard these realms of heaven as the Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon levels respectively. Because each inert no “Noble” gas, fills up another level of the electron shells. The last six dimensions exist in the hyper-space realm.

As you know in this year we will reach the magic 10-10-10 date in about nine months. I don’t know what, if anything will happen on this date, but I thought I’d throw it out there particularly for you fans of the tracks “Come Together” and “Bob Dylan’s 115^th Street Dream”. As thost Tetris pieces float down from heaven, it’s our business to try and assemble them into the scientific jigsaw puzzle for that they fit and make sense.

As you may know, man’s genetic predisposition twords Religion may well from an ability we discussed in a recent posting – and that is man’s unique ability above both the Ape and the Neanderthol, to think in symbol and in the abstract. He is able not only to track a ball covered by a moving box, but he is able to conceive of things that aren’t there or “might be”. As such, perhaps the old adage is true, “If you had a brain, you’d be dangerous”. We at the Orion Federation as you know have what I might call a “mythology” at this point, that man once lived on Venus, and that Adam and Eve were picked by a Higher Being, an extraterrestrial, if you will, to leave his home planet and colonize Earth with his Higher Intelligence. But in the process man became byfercated, or split off from his perfect self, experiencing a subconscious sense of “Loss” and that this sense of Loss turned into the concept of Sin. Man in truth “Is striving for something that has already found him”, to quote Jim Morrison. Man never lost God because God is not the sort of being that “gets lost”. God was always there. The problem is that some people (almost anybody) don’t like the Reality that God presents man with in his every day life. God often uses the “N” word on man and man doesn’t like that. When the first Ape said “No” to man in Planet of the Apes” he was exercising his first spark of the Divine. Formerly the forms of life on earth had adopted the classic Fight or Flight stance to deal with his fears. Modern man has adopted a few more strategies. One is that he can resort to Passive-Aggressive behavior. This is seldom a winner. Man came up with the notion of Sin, bringing with it endless introspection. And finally, mankind learned how to say “No”. This new frontier step in advanced verbiage was a real break-through for mankind. It finally enebeled him to verbalize the sense of his own sovereign worth.

God has the right to be the judge of his own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. But with this right, is the burden of taking responsibility for His own actions.

God has the right to offer no justifying reason for his Behavior.

God has the right for determining whether mankind’s problems are problems he cares to take on. God has the right not to intervene in your life. Of course if you are a Calvinist like me, you know that like fish and water, in the end it’s ALL “intervention”.

God has the right, like a woman, to change His mind. Of course in reality if it weren’t for those who bullshit in His name, this attribute would not be necessary.

God has the right to “Be Wrong” and to make Mistakes. After all he’s God and by his very nature does what He wants. And who is going to stop Him?

God has the right to say “I don’t know”. Personally, I wish those speaking in His name would use this phrase more often. It would simplify a lot of things.

God has the right to make his decisions independent of the good will of those he would call friends. God doesn’t value “friendship” the way you and I do.

God has the right to be illogical in making decisions that affect all Mankind.

God has the right to say to you, “I don’t understand”. I’ve found that parents have made rather productive if this profession of Ignorance throughout the years.

God has the right to say, “I don’t care”. So exercise some divine behavior yourself today and go to the Atheist church or synagogue of your choice.

And now for the big news of the day. Massachusetts may go republican. It would appear that the Republican senate candidate with his two-faced stances on the issues of our day, is winning the hearts of the citizenry of Massachusetts. Now the democrats are “doubling down” at the betting table, throwing everything they’ve got into the pot, and if they lose they will lose really Big. This may be the clearest referendum on President Obama we’ve had so far. Of course the election of that 41^st Republican senator will doom the health care bill. This is unthinkable, but there is a high probability of that happening. Were I President Obama, I’d be rethinking my whole first year in office, and has it all been a waste of time. Like President Clinton in 1994, the President may have to re-think just what sort of measures his administration will be known for. (Selah)

The photograph provided is a “loose architectural rendering” of the Bosc house where I lived at various times throughout the ‘eighties. As Pete Richards pointed out the title of “Bosc morning” should rather be “Bosc evening” based on direction. But then it isn’t really morning in America after all. We may soon be entering Twilight.
