That was in 1852. Later Home learned to control his flights and demonstrated them before audiences including such notables as emperor Napoleon III and Mark Twain. His popularity was enormous, and he habitually moved in aristocratic circles of society, especially in England, where he gave one of his most celebrated performances. Those present were Lord Adare, his cousin Capt. Charles Wynne, and master of Lindsay, later earl of Crawford and Balcarres. Lindsay told story:

‘I was sitting on December 16, 1868, in Lord Adare's rooms in Ashley Place, London, S.W., with Mr. Home and Lord Adare and a cousin of his. During sitting, Mr. Home went into a trance, and in that state was carried out of window in room next to where we were, and was brought in at our window. The distance between windows was about seven feet six inches, and there was not slightest foothold between them, nor was there more than a 12 inch projection to each window, which served as a ledge to put flowers on. We heard window in next room lifted up, and almost immediately after we saw Home floating in air outside our window. The moon was shining full into room; my back was to light, and I saw shadow on wall of windowsill, and Home's feet about six inches above it. He remained in this position for a few seconds, then raised window and glided into room feet foremost and sat down.

Lord Adare then went into next room to look at window from which he had been carried. It was raised about 18 inches; and he expressed his wonder how Mr. Home had been taken through so narrow an aperture. Home said (still in trance) 'I will show you', and then with his back to window he leaned back and was shot out of aperture head first, with body rigid, and then returned quietly. The window is about 70 feet from ground.'

{Do you think if there is some intelligence in cosmos who was trying to open our eyes that they find it funny how dense and unwilling to even believe our own eyes 'normal' people of this earth can be, when they try to think they know it all?}

The hypothesis of a mechanical arrangement of ropes or supports outside has been suggested, but does not cover facts as described.

Some researchers have considered this event suspect for a number of reasons. In first place, there are several discrepancies between accounts given by Adare and Lindsay. Some of these concern dimensions and configuration of windows and their height above ground and whether night was dark or moonlit. {How about whether coffee was spiked with hallucinogens or why force didn't tell them how it was done?} Lord Adare, moreover, gave inconsistent accounts of event at different times. Captain Wynne's statement was simple and straightforward: 'The fact of Mr. Home having gone out of one window and in at another I can swear to: anyone who knows me would not for a moment say I was a victim of hallucination or any other kind of humbug.'

But omission of any reference to flight or levitation is regarded by some as significant--perhaps Captain Wynne was not convinced that Home had levitated and confined his statement to simplest fact of exit and entry. Finally, an examination of what seems likely, though not certain, to have been house in question has shown that a tightrope could have been stretched between two balconies.

Researchers have therefore questioned whether or not Lindsay and Adare were too bemused on evening of December 16 to know what Home was really up to or whether he had resorted to trickery.

But although their versions of event differed, Adare and Lindsay clearly agreed on most important feature--that Home 'flew', and was seen to fly in through window and, later, to fly both out and in. They may have been bemused and imagined whole thing, but at least they agreed on what they imagined.

As for Captain Wynne's terse statement and its omission of any direct reference to flight, it seems clear that he understood himself to be describing something quite out of ordinary--for he denied being victim of a hallucination or of humbug.

The suspicion that a mechanical device such as a tightrope {Remember he was doing this for decades and other things like holding his hand in flames.} might have been used was dismissed by Lindsay at time: it 'does not cover facts as described.' In particular, such an explanation does not answer assertion that Home floated through window feet first or that he later leaned backward and shot out of window head first.

This leaves us with more usual objections to reports of levitation: that witnesses were lying or were bewitched, hysterical, too imaginative, or not really observant.

And since it can never be proved that a hallucination has not taken place, this objection can never be fully answered. But when numerous people of good faith and good reputation testify to having seen a certain thing, and when no certain proof is found that what they saw was achieved by trickery, we must suppose--according to hallucination theory--that all these people were weak-minded or that subject of reports possessed a supernatural gift {The court of what I call 'easy' answers.} for inducing mass hallucinations or a talent for persuading large numbers of people to lie on his behalf with no gain to them.

{Meanwhile paradigm has much to gain by keeping people in darkness like mushrooms while feeding them appropriate excrement to make them edible or malleable to their purpose.}

In 1871, year in which Lindsay wrote his account of Ashley Place levitation, Home was observed to levitate by Sir William Crookes, an eminent scientist who later became president of prestigious British Association for Advancement of Science. His statement, printed in 'Quarterly Journal of Science', concisely describes dilemma into which honest people were put by Daniel Dunglas Home:

‘The phenomena I am prepared to attest are so extraordinary, and (so) directly oppose most firmly-rooted articles of scientific belief--- amongst others, ubiquity and invariable action of force of gravitation--that, even now, on recalling details of what I witnessed, there is an antagonism in my mind between 'reason', which pronounces it to be scientifically impossible, and consciousness that my senses, both of touch and sight, are not lying witnesses. (Jean Burton, 'Heyday of a Wizard', pp.36-38,213-30; 'The Unexplained: Mysteries of Mind Space & Time, 'Vol. 2, Issue 20).” (2)

He cited evidence from both theories that support a new paradigm of a more interrelated, fluid, and less absolute basis of existence, one in which mind is an active participant. ‘Information contributes fundamentally to qualities of substance.’ He discussed forms, fields, superconductivity, wave function and electron behavior. ‘Wave function, which operates through form, is closer to life and mind... The electron has a mindlike quality.’” (1)

The early quantum physicists like Neils Bohr were ridiculed by those who could not comprehend majesty of their attempts to explain our reality. The debunker’s inductive reasoning which imposes direct inferential theory upon nature has caused a setback that science has yet to overcome. Despite their stated fear of religion these theories are in fact doing what Dark Ages did to sincere seekers of truth. It was dawning of a New Age which revived ancient Chaos Science. Our whole computerized creative and productive world is largely a function of these ‘atom mysticists’. In response to that epithet they have driven message home by showing over and over again that most know-nothing scientists are in cahoots with ignorance or worse. Michio Kaku of 'Hyperspace' does it well.

These giants of intellect found soul of Mandukya Upanishads (Wigner) and S-Matrix math in Tao Te Ching (Capra). Heisenberg ‘observed’ as cat appeared, or did not, depending on whether Schrödinger was there to witness. All Zen aficionados were overjoyed to see Western predilection for linear thinking in boxes was being changed from within. A far greater amount of possibility-thinking and real independent inquiry has resulted. All theatres of thought are now called post-Modern by ‘experts’ in ivory towers who are usually wrong. Bohr said, ‘A great truth has an opposite which is also true. A trivial truth has an opposite which is false.’

The Club of Rome is doing a lot of good analysis of issues and need for multi-disciplinarian principles in a new technological era. Here is something they say which I heartily approve of.

“Systems of education are less and less adapted to new issues, to new emerging global society we are presently involved in. New priorities force us to redefine role of education, which should be conceived as a permanent learning process. Transmission of knowledge is no longer sufficient, and new objectives such as developing one's own potential and creativity, or capacity of adaptation to change are becoming essential in a rapidly changing world.

The Club of Rome considers that education is both part of global problematique and also an essential tool to become an effective actor in control of one's own life and within society. If there are "Limits to Growth", there are "No Limits to Learning" (titles of two Reports to Club of Rome).” (2)

In area of physics Classical Electromagnetic Model or particles and force constructs, have given way to wave behavior models that allow harmonic interaction and affinity across space-time as I see it. There are some people who have such an ingrained or visceral response to mystical concepts that it makes one wonder how effective our propaganda paradigm that has waged war on enablement of soul in each living thing has been. The space-time interval is only invariant in same frequency realms and astrophysicists know gravity is an instantaneous effect. Brian Greene is first physicist with 'groupies' according to George Stephanopoulos, one time Clinton Press Secretary. Greene wrote ELEGANT UNIVERSE a best-seller that explains String Theory and how it could answer some of deepest aspects of human experience. He made a major contribution in 1992 that showed how fabric of space could tear and repair itself. This is not possible according to relativity and its expression of space/time continuum. The existence of anti-matter and 'black holes' are quite a conundrum for science that finds itself proving mystics understandings - 'fast and furious'.

My premise at its worst is that we must understand mystics even if they are wrong about reality. There will be little achieved by constantly negating whatever reality they have been able to ‘see’ and there has been a lot of advancement in science that proves they were right. But when told that this line of reasoning is religious or ‘airy-fairy’ I can only say – if we do not know how sages or great minds saw reality how can we expect to help make a new reality that is better? How can you call Pythagoras weird (for example) when he contributed so much? How can people be so silly when they know they can’t do what he did? Is it ego that makes man so closed-minded? Here is a response to a physicist who sees (finally) that I have gathered words of top scientists, who agree with me. He seeks to rationalize ‘One’ and understand ego – which is a start at least.

Rational? Is that missing from work of philosophers like Sartre who said 'Love is absent space'. No - what is missing is an appeal to reductive and gradualistic paradigm ego or need for POWER above all else. But that need for power actually produces less power and plentitude.

I tell you this - you do not know consciousness or it's origin and you can find best explanations in ancient writings and disciplines like Sutras. It works!

Is what works rational? Not necessarily. Rational and religion or anthropomorphing urge of ego is everywhere evident in non-cooperative mindsets.

Here is way I could say it off top of my head.

In beginning there was energy in many dimensions. These dimensions gradually got in touch at some distance with information carried on attractive forces like gravity. These contacts grew and pathways formed - see my article called Affinity under those Google links or here. The pathways became lattices and vectors and valences of these energies which began to design ways to form new harmonizing potentials.

Laws of behavior and some kind of design began to actualize or manifest and over trillions of years a lot of knowledge and ways of creating became way of world or universes.

Consciousness came later and soul is an outgrowth of this collective which directs us through structures and lattices (helical and otherwise - time has a helical structure and seven layers too) in likes of DNA.
