Hello Will....
Yes the EDH or a dimensional explanation could certainly fit in this case and many others but you'll find that many simply can't wrap their minds around it and want it all tied up with a bow in a box with ETH written on it. ![]() Come back and lets dig into the Alexander book when you are ready. |

Animism (from Latin anima "soul, life")[1][2] refers to the belief that non-human entities are spiritual beings, or at least embody some kind of life-principle.[3] Animism encompasses the beliefs that there is no separation between the spiritual and physical[disambiguation needed ] (or material) worlds, and souls or spirits exist, not only in humans, but also in all other animals, plants, rocks, natural phenomena such as thunder, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment.[4] Animism may further attribute souls to abstract concepts such as words, true names, or metaphors in mythology. Animism is particularly widely found in the religions of indigenous peoples,[5] including Shinto, and some forms of Hinduism, Buddhism, Pantheism, and Neopaganism.Throughout European history, philosophers such as Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, among others, contemplated the possibility that souls exist in animals, plants, and people; however, the currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the 19th century by Sir Edward Tylor, who created it as "one of anthropology's earliest concepts, if not the first".[5] According to the anthropologist Tim Ingold, animism shares similarities to totemism but differs in its focus on individual spirit beings which help to perpetuate life, whereas totemism more typically holds that there is a primary source, such as the land itself or the ancestors, who provide the basis to life. Certain indigenous religious groups such as the Australian Aborigines are more typically totemic, whereas others like the Inuit are more typically animistic in their worldview.[6] |

Will and Carol thought you would find this interesting...from Alexanders home web pages. This is his ufo page....he sure gets around and has met most of the players in the ufo game. The pic with Corso is interesting where he says he knew about the book before it came out. Also one with dinner with Dr Teller that he talks about in his book.
The more I read and learn the more I think this whole damn thing is a Hall of Mirrors. ![]() http://www.johnbalexander.com/ufophenomenology more pics in pdf form http://www.johnbalexander.com/yahoo_....119235153.pdf To this day, Dr. Alexander continues his search. He calls it as he sees it. He has little use for conspiracy theorists, true believers who take in everything without questioning, or scoffers who refuse to accept facts no matter how persuasive. Currently he is a councilor for the Society for Scientific Exploration. |
