No constellation in the night sky has rivaled the Pleiades for its impact upon the mind of man. Artists, poets, scientists, mythographers and prophets alike have not only cited the Pleiades as an inspiration to their work but as a key to understanding mankind and his/her relationship with the creative principles of existence. This book is the incredible story of a man who found himself taken to the Pleiades where he was examined and instructed by intelligent life forms who appeared human. The Pleiadians proceeded to give him an education and indoctrination that would enable him to regain his health and attain an unparalleled under-standing of electromagnetic science and its role in UFO technology. "Encounter in the Pleiades" blends the history of physics and UFOlogy with the personal experiences of Preston Nichols and gives unprecedented insight into the technology of flying saucers and their accompanying phenomena. Never before has the complex subject of UFOs been explained in such a simple language that will be appreciated by the scientist and understood by the layman. 2 OTHER TITLES FROM SKY BOOKS by Preston Nichols and Peter Moon The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time Montauk Revisited: Adventures in Synchronicity Pyramids of Montauk: Explorations in Consciousness Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs The Music of Time by Peter Moon The Black Sun: Montauk’s Nazi-Tibetan Connection Synchronicity and the Seventh Seal The Montauk Book of the Dead The Montauk Book of the Living Spandau Mystery by Joseph Matheny with Peter Moon Ong’s Hat: The Beginning by Radu Cinamar with Peter Moon Transylvania Sunrise Transylvania Moonrise by Stewart Swerdlow Montauk: The Alien Connection The Healer’s Handbook: A Journey Into Hyperspace by Alexandra Bruce 3 The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity by Wade Gordon The Brookhaven Connection 4 Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs by Preston B.

Officially known as the Phoenix Project to intelligence and military circles, this activity has been become colloquially known as the Montauk Project (named after the location of the project which was at Montauk, New York) and is the subject of a popular book entitled "The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time" by Preston Nichols with Peter Moon. This book, for which Mr. Nichols is most famous, chronicled major events which involved secret sciences such as weather control and mind control. Allegedly, these developments led to full scale teleportation and materialization of objects which in turn led to the harnessing of time itself. After publication of "The Montauk Project", investigation continued in an effort to substantiate such claims. This ultimately resulted in two subsequent books ("Montauk Revisited" and "Pyramids of Montauk") which corroborate that something of a very irregular nature did occur at Montauk and does so to this day. There are still more people coming forward that will attest to the reality of such a project. Although Preston’s research has been hailed by many and condemned by others, no one can deny that he possesses a mastery of electromagnetic technology and has been involved in covert government research. His professional opinions and advice are still sought after in these circles. It is one aspect of Preston’s connections to the secret sector which is to be the subject of this book: the field of UFOs. "Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs" is written in two parts. Part One is by Preston Nichols and concerns his intimate experiences with UFOs, aliens and their technology. It begins with Preston's personal encounters and how he boarded a UFO at the request of the military in an attempt to figure out how the vehicle was engineered. As the book continues, this secret is revealed in a step by step fashion that will leave you with a startling new look at reality and how UFOs function. Certain passages may get a little technical but the language used is non-intimidating and easy to understand. There is plenty of adventure as well. The second part of this book is by myself, Peter Moon. I have served as Preston’s ghost writer for his first three books and this work is our fourth collaboration together. Part Two begins with my own ventures into the paranormal and how these inextricably linked me to Preston Nichols and the 9 UFO phenomena. I conclude by digging into the mythology of the Pleiades and demonstrating how these stars serve as a gateway to anyone trying to understand the phenomena of inner and outer space. "Encounter in the Pleiades: An Inside Look at UFOs" will take you on an unprecedented journey in consciousness into the inner realm of the UFO phenomena. After you read this book, you will never look at the subject of flying saucers in quite the same way. Happy reading. 10 Part 1 — by Preston B. Nichols 11 Chapter 1 — UFOs, A General History Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs have been around in different forms ever since the dawn of man. Mysterious flying crafts are mentioned in old Sanskrit manuscripts as well as the Bible. There is Ezekiel’s winged fire chariot in the Old Testament and a host of other descriptions if you wish to seek them out in ancient literature. They are nothing new to the experience of mankind, but an understanding as regards their precise nature certainly needs to be improved upon. That is the premise of this book. Modern day UFOlogy begins in a popular sense in 1947 with Kenneth Arnold’s sightings in the northwest and the crash in Roswell, New Mexico. The Roswell crash is particularly well documented and has been reported on in different books and a cable television movie. Although these events were reported on in the common press, earlier sightings were not so well known. In this respect, modern UFOlogy began at least in the 1930s. The earliest sighting I’ve personally been told of was in 1936. This date, by no coincidence, is when the military was conducting its first experiments with radar. They could for the first time look at an unidentified object in the sky and see by looking at the radar screen that it had actual substance and was not of an illusory nature. This was the first hard scientific proof. At that particular time period, UFOs were referred to as “flying unknowns” but for some reason the abbreviation “F.U.” didn’t stick. Modern rumors of UFO crashes started roughly in 1936 and continued right through World War II until the first documented crash at Roswell in 1947. Since that time period, crashes began to occur at a rate of about one every three or four months. This is why the Air Force began Project Blue Book which was at least a two layered project. The first priority was for the Air Force to seek out and discover all information concerning UFO sightings and crashes.

It thus marks the flood tide of his genius, when his imagina- tive power at its brightest came into conjunction with the full ripeness of his scholarship. It is, per- haps, the most characteristic example of that elu- sive point of view which makes for the magic of Anatole France. No writer is more personal. No writer views human affairs from a more imper- sonal standpoint. He hovers over the world like a disembodied spirit, wise with the learning of all times and with the knowledge of all hearts that have beaten, yet not so serene and unfleshly as not to have preserved a certain tricksiness, a capacity for puckish laughter which echoes through his pages and haunts the ear when the covers of the book are closed.

    Aesthetic Play As Ethical Practice: Rethinking Moral Life

    AESTHETIC PLAY AS ETHICAL PRACTICE: RETHINKING MORAL LIFE THROUGH KANT, SCHILLER, GADAMER, AND PRISON THEATER A Dissertation by KAREN ELEANOR DAVIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kristi Sweet Committee Members, Theodore George Daniel Conway Marian Eide Head of Department, Theodore George August 2017 Major Subject: Philosophy Copyright 2017 Karen Eleanor Davis ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates how aesthetic play supports moral life, with the Shakespeare Behind Bars (SBB) prison theater program as its centerpiece. This project responds to the ascendancy of instrumental rationality and technological thinking in ethical reasoning, as diagnosed by Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, and others. I argue that moral life patterned after aesthetic play rehabilitates practical wisdom and interpretation in our age while also cultivating our capacity to make contextualized moral judgments. I understand aesthetic play through the heritage of Kant’s aesthetics and suggest that play between reason and imagination teaches us to accommodate both universality and particularity in moral judgments. The ethical potential of Kant’s third Critique is unfolded in my analysis of Schiller and Gadamer, followed by a turn to theater studies and field research into the SBB program. For Kant, aesthetic judging is analogous to moral judging, and so aesthetic experience is preparatory for moral life. For Schiller, aesthetic play unifies the rational and sensuous aspects of human being, allowing us to realize the highest expressions of morality and freedom. For Gadamer, aesthetic play models the way we engage with others in all contexts.
  • The Moral and Other Educational Significance of the Arts in Philosophy and Recent Scottish Educational Policy

    The Moral and Other Educational Significance of the Arts in Philosophy and Recent Scottish Educational Policy

    The Moral and other Educational Significance of the Arts in Philosophy and Recent Scottish Educational Policy Panagiota Sidiropoulou A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh, 2010 ABSTRACT The immense value of the arts has long been recognized by diverse cultures and such recognition has mostly guaranteed their inclusion in educational and school curricula the world over. The arts are considered valuable for numerous reasons, but their inclusion depends on particular interpretations of their merits that may sometimes have failed to realise their full or real potential. Although some ways of valuing the arts date back to antiquity, debates about the value of arts certainly deserve no less consideration in the modern context. Plato was sceptical about the moral value of the arts and regarded them as of dubious educational significance. He thought the arts were more a matter of rhetoric than reason. However, taking a more positive view of the moral power of the arts, Aristotle defended both the arts and rhetoric as potentially contributory to personal formation and the development of moral virtue. At all events, if the arts are to remain educationally defensible, it is arguable that educational theorists and policy makers need to demonstrate their capacity for: (i) objective aesthetic judgement; and (ii) the communication of knowledge and/or truth. Both of these are contentious, as artistic and aesthetic value judgements have often been said to be subjective or personal. In this context, the distinction between judging something as good (which requires reasons) or simply liking it (which does not) is crucial.

    Crowley's Greek Qabalah From

    The Greek Qabalah LIBER MCCCLXV A.'. A.'. Publication in Class C By Frater Apollonius f 4° = 7 AN CV 2009 e.v. Preface Simply beginning my research of the Greek Qabalah proved rewarding right from the start. This is a project that has been slowly put together over several years as I‟ve found interesting tid-bits when surfing the net; usually looking for something else. Add to this my general dissatisfaction when first coming across what has proved to be the incomplete work of Aleister Crowely, transliterating the letters and words of the Greek language into a numerically listed compendium that in the format presented was almost completely worthless. And even calling it the „Greek Qabalah‟ either was almost a joke, or in itself simply a scratch start to a project that he never really even began. As my research begain in ernest, I also began returning the letters in Crowley‟s work back to their original Greek, only to discover that only one of the ancient Gnostic documents was actually written in Greek; the rest being in Coptic, generally. And I decided to discount these, even though a Qabalah is utterly dependent on „holy‟ or „praeternatural‟ scriptures to have any authenticity. Still, one is at least enough, but I would discover there‟s a world to itself, simply in the alphabet and the ideas that were being incorporated from the measure of the planets in our solar system along with the geometry that forms the basis in number of our Western culture. And for that matter, these numbers are incorporated to some degree, in the Apocalypose of John, which was written long before the Jews thought of putting a Qabalah together.
