Hey Aaron and Ben,

Regarding the cryptic messages in the paper and such — you should check out the story 'Hearts in Atlantis” by Steven King. Same principle of otherworldly creatures using very conventional low tech means — such as lost-pet posters, chalk drawings in the playground. , and news ads. Very cool to think about the world beneath the world. Great show as always

Here's a happy medium “Fun facts • Chimpanzees don’t like to be in water and usually can’t swim.” http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/t-chimpa…

Hey Aaron and Ben, I am a relatively new subscriber–great show. I'm not sure if it was this episode or the last but Aaron mentioned that Chimps can't swim. This is disputed–according to several sources, chimps do not like water but will swim if extremely excited (whatever that means). Apparently at least one case of a chimp swimming has been documented by David Attenborough, Other sources state that chimps are often fond of water but avoid large bodies. I just wanted to put that out there. Also Aaron mentioned that Michio Kaku was the creator of string theory–I think he created string field theory. Splitting hairs I know. Again great show, you guys have opened my eyes to things that I would have otherwise scoffed at.

I had Salvia once, only a couple puffs because I was scared, and even then it was quite unpleasant. I felt a very real sensation of my body twisting down and to the left, like I was water swirling down a drain. Or a blender. Not cool. But I do really want to try Peruvian Torch cactus, it gets good reviews on erowid.

I was mowing the lawn while listening to this episode. All was great until you got to the emails from salvia experimenters, particularly “Manu”(sp?) who talked about connecting with lettuce and all other plants and finding them loving and accepting of humans. I had a huge case of guilt as I tried to finish my lawnmowing tasks, knowing I was decapitating and amputating the very plants who apparently project loving energy toward us humans. What a quandary I had!

Oh btw, I love all this stuff about greys. But this stuff about the soul kind of loses me a bit. Aaron is right, you really have to believe in a soul, and all scientific modalities we have are unable to detect anything but the material aspect of our body. There may well be a soul, but this is a debate that could go on for ever!

Hey lads,

I had a thought about the crop circles beam footage. The footage is amazing, and really had me thinking hard. But I had a thought, how do we know that the beam isn't coming from the ground and shining into the clouds? This could explain the light in the clouds. Do you have a thought on this?

Great episode guys. Killing it!
