Experiencing synchronicity here too having been posted near a New Zealand run hospital in Solu Khumbu, Nepal in 1977. The doctors performed a Maori dance at a fundraiser we threw for a nearby school. People sung the song for years. Another NZ link comes from one of the five attendees (only five!) at a retreat Andrew Holececk gave in Massachusetts in 2019. David came all they from from New Zealand for the retreat and was an out-of-body practitioner of note, who by the way predicted the widespread collapse of things to start in March or April, 2020.

Yes, summer of 2019. Iāve been to four or five with him in person, a couple at Menla with him and BobThurman. Never in Colorado. Excellent, well worth the effort.

Shimshai and Susana just did this live concert minutes ago from their retreat center near Mt. Shasta, CA. Shimshai is a well known alternative singer-songwriter with a spiritual vibe, and his wife Susana is an ayahuasca shaman from Columbia.

I remember that one from Fallout 4. One of the last video games I played, it was a good one.

_Barry I remember getting the polio vaccine as a pink sugar cube very young, perhaps first grade. I remember reading when I was older that it was cultured in monkey cells and that it was contaminated with some monkey virus and thinking āthatās gross!ā but hey, polio was largely eliminated and I never heard of anyone coming down with monkey virus disease.

Agree with that one. It was made by the same company that did Skyrim which was one of my favorite games.
I like their latest dream better 
.
Havent played anything besides mobile games for many years.
I thought about setting my computer back up to play their latest game:
This is one of the songs from it:

Emblematic of the 1950s, where we routinely had to practice getting under our desks as the teachers shuttered the windows and we stayed under the desks till the siren blared. One year I asked my teacher who were we hiding from and she whispered āThe Russians.ā We had done this for years, but for the first time I was told why we were hiding this way.

_Barry Yeah I remember that. Like hiding under desks would protect us from nuclear war! In L.A. we also practiced hiding under desks in case their was an earthquake. But in that case, much better to get outside ASAP away from the building!

Ironic for me, I was on the periphery of nuclear weaponry in the Air Force, working on equipment, on planes, that would sample the Earthās background radiation as well as the yields of the above ground testing done by the Russian and Chinese during the late '60s and early 1970s. In that capacity I was trained as a Nuclear Radiation Fallout Shelter Monitor. I did visit Los Alamos, but it was for a girlfriend, nothing official.

_Barry I recently saw the āOppenheimerā film. Quite a fascinating depiction of the development of atomic weapons. Quite the karma that the U.S. felt pushed to develop the bomb out of fear that Hitler would develop it first. Then once we got it, we were the ones who used it against the Japanese! Then it turned out that Hitler wasnāt really that close to getting the bomb. Then the Soviets felt that they had to get the bomb because we had it, and the arms race began. What a karmic chain reaction!

Barry McGuire made āEve of Destructionā a hit in 1965- a song warning of the dangers of nuclear war and other world problems. I was 11 years old at the time but remember hearing this played extensively on the radio and remember that I did have some sense of what this song was about.

Not sure how close he was, but they had developed long range missiles (V2) while the allies destroyed may of the facilities that might have gone into the eventual nuclear production. The Japanese also had scientists who were on par with ours, but lacked the resources to develop the first bomb. Succeeding generations of weapons have become relatively much easier to create and deliver.
Iāve been to Hiroshima (early August 1971) and it is an unforgettable, unthinkable experience, as was the alternative, the mass invasion of Japan in 1945. The thing is that there are so many countries that have these weapons, or are near to developing them, that I suspect that it is only a matter of time before our worst fears are realized.

This was the reply song to Eve of Destruction, The Dawn of Correction. I wasnāt convinced back then . . . .

The difference between these two songs reminds me of this quote:
āThere are two kinds of mystics: the pessimystics and the optimystics. The pessimystics keep saying 'the sky is falling! the sky is falling!ā But the optimystics say, āIt only appears that way because we are ascending.ā

If youāve never heard the Swami, look him up. Heās hilarious. I just posted something from the Swami in the humor topic thread.
