Jack Parsons and the origins of JPL - Pt. 5

[rockalaroll]

Freedom is a Two Edged Sword is one of those books you can just read and read. Its short, but what most of these docs don't talk about is Jack Parsons' political and social viewpoints. He addresses all of these view points in FiaTES, and its quite fascinating.

Very good info. thanks!

Hey that mystical bullshit involved an essay called Freedom is a Two Edged Sword, which may be one of the most beneficial Libertarian essays of the twentieth century. Read some of that mystical bullshit before you comment on it. Crowley's mysticism was Scientific Illuminism, use Google educate yourself. 93!

[BIGSBYTREM]

Testify! The fact that Robert Anton Wilson wrote about him says it all! The fact that he said if he had a million dollars he would have Freedon is a Two Edged Sword printed and given to millions of people says the rest!!!!

93: My name is Nikolai. I am a pyrotechnitian and I have also known Helen Parsons Smith along with Grady Louis McMurterey. I remember receiving my free copy of Freedom is a Two Edged Sword from Bill Breeze about 20 years ago. Although I am a skeptic and a cynic, my mind is open to strange and new possibilities. After all, we as homo sapiens have only scratched the surface of all that is yet to be discovered. Magick can be used to better one's Self instead of slipping into a world of fancy.93

Well, well. I've never met Bill Breeze, but when I had this interview with Bill Heidrick, he gave me a free copy of 777, wthat was a facsimile of Jack's own copy. It has Jack's hand written notes in the margins. Quite a treasure.

[Nguli34689]

Bill Heidrick gave me a copy of 777 also. I used to help him out mailing the materials he used to publish such as the Magickal Link, Thelema Lodge Newsletter and so on. He is a highly intelligent man with a good heart. I understand that the interview you had with him was at his home in Marysville about seven years ago. He no longer lives nearby in San Anselmo. I miss his company. Both of us used to go out on hikes at the Marin County Watershed area and marvel at the wonder of creation. Thnx.

@Cybervue i've done way more than just "met" Sir Breeze ... hehehe

@Nguli34689 Hi listen. I have some very plausible ideas regarding both free energy, transmiting energy over distances, and anti gravity transportation. I also am in very in depth study of the Devine Matrix, and the Zero Point Feild. Sir, being a successful man, who obviously knows what he is doing and is familiar with the scientific community. How would you reccomend I proceed developing my ideas, I do not have formal engineering degree, or Chemistry degree, I have a College diploma.

[Nguli34689]

VaughnVI: I am happy to answer you the best way I can at the moment. Your questions were not condescending, posturing, or some innate grudge against independent thinking. I would very much like to hear your ideas about energy. I began at the age of eight when I attempted to discover how the black powder was made, then later on firecrackers, tourbillions, and Roman Candles.The chemistry sets we had back then had a kid perform experiments which generated gasses such as H2S and Chlorine.

[VaughnVI]

@Nguli34689 How can I share my ideas with Scientific Minds, so I can release these ideas into the world. I believe that science needs to turn it's eyes on religion. Robert Anton Wilson says that Intelligence squared is when intelligence critiques intelligence, I believe Intelligence cubed is when intelligence critiques intelligence, which critiques religion. Religion is the study of the Universe by way of the perspective of knowing the Divinity of the creator, Science studies the tangible things

[Nguli34689]

VaughnVI: When I started out in pyrotechnics, I swear that I didn't know much about fireworks, but I always liked to ask questions about rocketry. When in doubt, I consulted a chemist, a good pyrotechnitian or someone FAR MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON. I was not embarresed to ask. The space they give me here is limited to 500 words so I won't be of much help. Try Pyrotechnics Guild International Incorporated for starters. They are good with rocket science. Good luck. It was an honor responding2 U.

[VaughnVI]

@Zostrianos Cool. right on brother. Send me some of that info. I want to get a copy of Freedom is a Two Edged Sword.

[VaughnVI]

@Zostrianos what does .93 mean?! some secret code?

[rtype415]

I'm glad he focused on the scientific contributions Parsons made instead of the mystical bullshit.

[VaughnVI]

@rtype415

I just don't effin believe it when someone says somthing like that. It's as if you think that A scientist isn't allowed to know the spiritual. The mans genious was due to his knowledge of the spiritual. God dosn't give brains that work for thinking to those who can't use them right. ;)
