Ah, yes. Wal Thornhill. I know of him and David Talbot through my brother who has met them both here in the U.S. in the time before the Covid® crime.

Here is a quick, seven-minute video with Talbott narrating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWLg4QEo574 I love how Talbott, et.al., bring in ancient cultures and evidence that these people described plasma discharges via their art/cave drawings, etc. Absolutely fascinating!

Would it be too much of a stretch to think that maybe -- just maybe -- part of the global lockdown also intended to stall or end projects on the verge of blowing up key parts of our current paradigm of b*llsh*t like the Safire Project https://safireproject.com/ ? Yeah, probably...but that's what happened. Funny that.

A couple of great lines among so many from Liam:

"It might even turn out that our star is far more influential in creating large-scale heating and cooling patterns, than is our excess CO2." (Define "excess" CO2.) And,

"The answer is, it's not a campfire. It's plasma.." (I love this one.)

I've so much to say, I'm almost speechless.

Suffice it to say, I'm upset that it's taken 60 years for me to be exposed to this man's perspective, which it just so happens, confirms ideas I've had from an early age that failed to be nurtured as a result.

I know I should be grateful the stars aligned, you posted this and I decided to read it, and I am.

I write so poorly I wish I could have a conversation with someone who understands to get what's in my head out.

Thanks.

"Both are “invisible.” Both can only be detected by inference, “indirectly.” Both exist to fill in the holes left by Big Bang theory’s gravity-only edict. Add a little electricity to the model and the “darkness” goes away." your introductory joke a perfect parody of this. Bravo.

What a wonderful introduction to the electrical universe! When I took cosmology as an undergrad the official story on the universe gave me a deep sense of unease and anxiety. At the time I thought it was because of how small and insignificant it made human life feel. After reading this I realize I was intuitively recoiling from an explanation that completely disregards the reality of an intelligent, organized and yes, creative universe with patterns that repeat on all scales. The universe feels a bit warmer thanks to this fantastic essay. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, exactly!

It does feel a bit warmer, a bit brighter and lighter.

These unchallengeable dogmas that have been foisted on us, if not be design but by side effect, have the effect of creating a wonderless, barren, joyless and depressingly incurious posture towards life, especially for the young. What a debacle.

Not sure if you also read the Intelligence stack, but I now think there is a connection between these two theories of life, that of intelligent design and that of the electric universe. What an uplifting way of seeing and thinking about life!

Frankly if it turns out to be untrue and the Darwinians (the accidentalists) and Black Holists (the mathematicians) have the last laugh, I don't care. I choose wonder and joy over their offering, but it does help that I also genuinely believe that ID and EV are likely if not very likely true.

I haven't read the Intelligence stack, but I will check it out. I really enjoyed reading Scheff's chapter on ID in your previous post and I marvel at how little I've questioned Darwin's theory until now.

A few years ago my husband and I read Journey of Souls by Michael Newton and while it's a total leap of faith whether you believe the transcribed sessions hold any truth regarding what happens after death (or between lives), I find that the premise put forth in the book fits neatly into my sense of the universe as a creative and purposeful place/time. Seeing connection as a core foundational principle makes all of our ideas about chaos and chance seem so small and unimaginative in comparison. The culture of pain and outrage we're living in now seems like a perfect human expression of how lost we become when that connection is severed or withheld from us.

Random and chance/odds, as defined by Hon’ble Sgt Briggs 😊 ↓↓

🗨 probability *model* can mathematically represent the uncertainty you have in some event.[...Y]ou do know something, but only enough to quantify the chance of the event.[...] Something always causes everything to happen, even if we can never know the cause in advance, or even after, as with quantum mechanics.[...E]ven very rare events always have causes, and often these causes can be known.

🗨 unpredictable is what people mean when they say random. That, or unknown cause.

Why not give Amazon a pass and buy the book at Abebooks.com? I did. No affiliation, I just like my books and everything else from non-Amazon companies.

Thought-provoking stuff! And isn't that the key thing? Something that makes us wonder rather than accepting all the pat, dry-as-dust explanations for the universe that keep us 'comfortably numb'? Isn't the prime motivating force for human enquiry *mystery* itself, that sense of the unknown and perhaps unknowable, just out of reach? The powers-that-be seem determined to demystify our existence to a dull, materialistic greyness that keeps us passive and helpless. Interesting background on Abbé Lemaitre too: I've long thought that the Catholic Church has yet to realise that demystifying its central sacred mysteries will lead to its own extinction. Or maybe it's all part of the plan?

Or...perhaps areas of studies such as plasma/the electric universe may help prove the Catholic Church's sacred mysteries in a way that can deepen and spread faith. Just a thought...:)

I’ve never understood how anyone could believe this much order could have come from an explosion. I’ve never seen any order come from any explosion. It’s like declaring that we

sometimes build homes by laying dynamite in a rectangle. Viola! Call HGTV.

If I opened my dryer to find even half the socks matched and yoga pants folded, I’d sell tickets to view the laundry.

It takes a lot of faith to believe that something came of nothing but for me, it takes far more to believe that order came from a bang. The tides, the solar system, sea life, infants, all the

things… I don’t think a big bang could create a sweater, never mind a foal.

Thanks to you, I ordered his book and read it in three days. Good and though-provoking stuff. I am baffled that I'd not heard of Liam Scheff before someone from somewhere else linked to your Shakespeare post. Seriously. I've been a subscriber to the Corbett Report since late 2015 and scouring his site, there's no mention of Scheff anywhere, which is really odd taking into consideration (via his super brief bio on the book cover) that he started JoyCamp (?) with others among whom is Benny Wills who's been featured numerous times on Corbett's site! What's with that?!

So, I looked for more information on him and found his "Last Post" to his readers describing the debilitating nerve damage resulting from a dentist! which ultimately killed him, slowly and most painfully (I can't help but wonder if he was taken out by TPTB). Heartbreaking.

This chapter, together with the expanding earth and Shakespeare, were the most "fun" (the Vaccine and AIDs chapters were emotionally taxing but very enlightening). I'm about to do the deep-dive on this electric universe information. Again, thank you for introducing him.

On thing I'd like to offer in contrast to Scheff's portrayal of the Christian perspective: there are as many confliciting opinions as there are ice cream flavors - Uniformitarianism is just one (even the apostle Peter had something to say about that - see 2 Peter 3). But back to Liam: in his chapter on the expanding earth, he regrettably failed to even mention a theory which is supported by mind-blowing evidence. Dare I say it? A global flood.

Early 90s I serendipitously stumbled on a truly fascinating exploration on the whole Darwinian Evolution vs Young Earth Creation debate and, being a product of public school with no religous background whatsoever, I was amazed. Years later, I learned of a man named Walt Brown who put forth his "hydroplate theory" which, for me, answers a lot of geological mysteries ("continental drift", frozen mammoths, fossils, asteroids, as well as a host of others). His book is very interesting which is available to read, for free, on-line. The chapter featuring the hydroplate theory (10 min video also available on youtube) is worth perusing and contemplating along with the theories supported by Scheff:

Thanks Pearl, glad you enjoyed the book!

Thanks for introducing me to Walt Brown, hadn't heard of him before and will definitely checkout the hydroplate theory.

And yes, I find his and his wife's earlier death suspicious also.

In keeping with the electric universe, life on earth is also electric. I highly recommend the free 44 page PDF book "Sacred Mission" by Matteo Tavera, originally published in France in 1969.

https://www.electrocultureandmagnetoculture.com/uploads/3/4/1/3/3413602/matteo_tavera_-_sacred_mission.pdf

Mr. Tavera was a farmer, naturalist and economist. You could classify the book as either natural philosophy or meta-physics. Either way, everything in the book meshes perfectly with the electrical forces and energy flows described in Liam Scheff's chapter on electricity. After reading Sacred Mission, I look at nature with more wonderment than ever before.

Liam was definitely ahead of the curve. I'm glad I'm not the only person to appreciate his legacy.

You are welcome. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world and way of looking at and thinking about things. I think it effects everything, literally.

I would recommend following the Thunderbolts Project channel on YouTube, the best scientists in the space produce material there on a variety of fascinating subjects.

"It’s clear to me that the universe is creative, alive and thinking. After all, it forms itself into us and everything else that exists. (If you think it's all a grand accident, there's a Richard Dawkins book on the shelf waiting for you.)" you missed the opportunity to tap this phrase into the "intelligent design" article!

Wal Thornhill is a fascinating guy and hard to refute! He also gives new energy to Velikovsky's theories about 'Worlds in collision.' Velekovsky's theories about 'Worlds in collision.'

Immanuel Velikovsky’s book “Worlds in Collision” proposes that around 1500 BC, the planet Venus was ejected from Jupiter as a comet or comet-like object and passed near Earth, causing significant changes to the planet’s rotation, axis inclination, and magnetic field. This event, according to Velikovsky, was not a collision in the classical sense, but rather a close approach that had a profound impact on the Earth’s environment.

Key Points:

The book postulates that Venus was once a comet or comet-like object that was ejected from Jupiter.

This event occurred around 1500 BC and caused Venus to pass near Earth, disturbing the planet’s rotation, axis inclination, and magnetic field.

Velikovsky’s theory is based on a wide range of ancient accounts and references, including biblical and mythological stories.

The book was highly controversial upon its release in 1950, with many scientists dismissing Velikovsky’s ideas as pseudoscience.

Despite the controversy, Velikovsky’s work has had a lasting impact on the field of astrobiology and continues to be discussed and debated by scientists and scholars today.
