I've got a super rare copy of Thea and Don's book that originally started it all, before she wrote 2150 ad. It's called 'Macro Philosophy' - it's a limited first edition and signed. Possibly the only one in existence especially signed.
After about 4 years I was finally able to find this book again. It is honestly the best book I've read and makes my brain go into super thinking mode, which is fun. I've been trying to find out more information on Thea Alexander and want to learn more about her. She really needs to have her own Wikipedia page.
I like to ad to my post that I was inspired by Thea and wrote a book titled, Polynesian Dreams. This is available at no cost for the asking. Google polynesiandreams and you will find details. I did not know if the Macro Society still existed and when I cam across an old business card I decided to google the name. Hence these comments. Johan Van Oldenabarneveld
@johan530 - Thank your comments - what a delight to hear from another lover of 2150 AD!...I continue to hold close to my heart the book and the art work, too. So many things about the story were & remain familiar & true: heaven-on-earth in a book, thanks to Thea Alexander & Baron Dixon.<3<3
i read this book over 20 years ago and use to correspond with Thea. She probably does not remember me although I have a distinct last name. This book changed my life dramatically. From a so-so person I elevated to a person of substance, got rid of most bad habits and now that I am 80 enjoy a healthy and prosperous life. I like to thank Thea again in detail some time. My paperback is well read and is treasured, reread including the study material and the audio tape. (johan Van Oldenbarneveld)
Boy, you're one lucky duck! I wish someone in my family had known about the principals in her book when I was growing up. Though it's also fun finding the clues along the way. Thanks so much for stopping by and waving hello....Happy Holidays!•´¯`•×Oº°'´¨¯¨
can your family start publishing the book again? i heard it goes for 90 dollars on ebay! surely someone in your family can republish it and collect royalties AND get the price down for consumers! seems your great aunt left a gift i don't think she intended only for the rich! or only the rich should i say
@1buzywuzy1: yes, i saw some listings for hard covers of this title- i'd love to have one! they were indeed priced above what might be easily affordable for the 'averagely incomed' world citizen. :o~
@4everdoglover hmmm...my great grandmother on the alexander side. (moms side) would be Lorretta Alexander, we called her big grandma..i never met her, send me a messege about who you are.
@hicksdude93 So it is true.... My great grandmother on the alexander side ( my fathers side ) is Lorretta Alexander, because she is my grandmothers mother, but she died and I never met/knew her either.
@4everdoglover i guess we are, lol you ask your grandma. about lori ann, her neice, my grandma is Gail. your grandmas sister. its sad but i dont get to see her. but wow. its crazy how things happen, i didnt expect something like this to happen. but its a small world. lol your father would be donald? correct.. this is crazy. well its nice to meet you though. tell your grandma. Lori Ann said hi, *my mom* lol
@hicksdude93 hi hickdude93.i have a question.please can you answer me about it.i read 2150 ad.and that was wonderfull book.but i didnt understand something. where is jon lake,karl johnson,neda or others photos? Karl or neda is still alive? and is that book real?I need evidence.Thanks.
I think it will always be a favorite. I have it in paperback right now (not the original one I had).But always keeping eyes peeled for one of those rare, hard cover versions. (O:
Hi There, mindwipeuk, thanks for watching! I actually came across your channel a few months ago. Remembered because of the name of it (the mindwipe name) & also the Star Trek theme videos. Way to go, very nice work!
Mindwipe is an extremely talented fellow in his own right. He did the DVD authoring of my 2-Disc "TYRANNOVISION" series that we have offered as a free download. He also hosts some wonderful podcasts. We enjoy exploiting one another's talents when possible. LOL
Makes me wish I had done a lot more paintings like I had originally planned! LOL Most of them are done in acrylics on illustration board, and then a scant few of them I created in a $14.00 paint program called UltraPaint back in the 1990's. I didn't have Photoshop back then. Thea had upgraded to a new Mac, so she sold me her old one, and I loaded UltraPaint onto it and created pics of some of the green buildings with it. How'z THAT for fun trivia? :-)
Hey Baron, That's awesome! I love computer graphics art, esp. sci-fi - but I also still love paint!...Always enjoy the 2150 A.D. work. Some of the concepts I've literally seen in sleep dreams since very early days - astounding, really. But then again makes total sense in the Infinity of it all Check out the art work of: Wei Wei Wua (that's 2 Wei's + 1 Wua) & also Frederic St. Arnuad. They do commercial & film work. Some personal art, too. They're amazing! (o:
i love this book...it changed my life:)we are all one

If she is ur great aunt and she's my grandmother wouldn't that mean we're 2nd cousins, because we share the same great grandmother?
