  L.C.G.H. Episode -19- Guerrilla Radio-" Paranormal Common Sense" and Other Tales!!

  Current News, Theories, Experiences, Upcoming Events or Whatever Comes Up! Call- Ins Are Always Welcomed! Tonight will be a "Guerrilla Radio" style based off some experiences that have come about recently. We are going to try to tackle the subject of "Common Sense" in the paranormal community and hopefully society in whole! The "Other Tales" part is based off the chaotic format that we tend to follow. Well, what can we say. We live for the random!! After thought- It was another great show. Reviewing a little bit from last weeks show on "Common Sense" of what is going on. We had Amy from "The Science Edge" and "The D.A.R.K. Show" as well as Alex Rondini from Phantom Magazine call in and give their perspective on this "common Sense" revolution that we are heading. Also, if you are patient after the initial show is done. You can hear some "secret track" type stuff. Like after thoughts or extra music! It doesn't always happen and the player will stop when the show is fully done. So there is a hint to you all! Thanks for stopping by and listening! "Are you dead or are you sleeping!"

  A Call for Chroniclers

  A Call for Chroniclers by Josh Hehe
  
  We all come from long line of ancestors dating back more than a couple billion years.  These beings emerged into a universe that had been evolving for more than ten billion years before that.  The sequence of events that unfolded from this initial condition collectively make up the unwritten legacy of our existence, and my goal is to tell this epic tale through a provisional account of what seems to be the best explanation of everything up to this point.
  
  Since there will always be new facts to discover, these Chronicles of Ontology will serve as a never ending story that’s updated each and every time someone understands anything unprecedented. In this way, I can carry on the tradition of discovery, in which ideas continue to be passed down and all around by countless seekers for generations and generations in one form or another. With that in mind, it must be understood that all I have done here is bring all of this together into a single self-consistent model.  After all, I’m a philosopher and that’s what we do.  At least, I think that’s what we do… I guess. 
  
  Regardless, this is all just part of my long-term efforts toward the establishment of common sense.  I mean this in the most literal way.  Humanity doesn’t all agree on what’s going on in the world, or more importantly, about what went on in the world, and I think it’s very unfortunate that we have to suffer through this kind of global ignorance.  I say we just let our fiction be fantastic by writing stories about every kind of abominable snowman, wizard, dragon, resurrection, and virgin filled place in paradise that we can possibly imagine.  This is a tremendously appropriate means of expression, so long as it’s not confused with the truth, which is what I’m trying to get at with the records that are being compiled in this work.  What’s more, to sort of lead by example, I have distributed this into the public domain with the hopes that it will encourage others to engage in the free exchange of ideas whenever they are inspired to make sense of the world around them. 
  
  What I would like for you to do is comment on any or all of the ideas contained in this story. From this I hope to get others involved in writing their own interpretation of the facts. With that in mind, feel free to cut and paste anything from the Chronicles or bring in any other material you see fit. Then we can all come to a consensus as we examine and re-examine all the evidence.
  
  With that said, I think its important for you to understand a few things before reading the Chronicles of Ontology. So, I’d like to tell you a little about the overall process that we are all taking part in, whether we care to accept it or not.  This process is part of a very slow cycle that takes trillions and trillions and trillions of years to complete before it resets and starts all over elsewhere in the elsewhen of there and then.  It is an evolutionary process of becoming that involves four primary components at three different scales of being which are acted on by two fundamental forces.  Collectively these serve as the necessary components and conditions of one cosmos. 
  
  Simply put, space, time, mass, and energy interact in the omniverse, multiverse, and universe, as they are acted upon by positive and negative influences. Of course, nothing is ever just that simple, nor should it be.
  
  The concept of a complete model of the cosmos is often criticized based on the idea that there is always something just beyond the limits of anything that can be established. When an astronomer asserts that the universe began with a cataclysmic explosion nearly fourteen billion years ago, someone will wonder as to what happened before that.  In the same respect, a priest might explain how God created the universe at which point someone will ask what gave rise to God.   In all honesty, no matter how elaborate a theory might be, there will always be some hypothetical rhetoric with which skeptics can question anything.  So, to sort of buffer against this arbitrary idea of infinite regress the enigmatic notion of nothing can be added to any attempt at making sense of everything.
  
  Unfortunately, it’s not enough to simply say that there isn’t anything beyond the space-time of the cosmos because no matter what, there will always be another question that could be asked regarding some incomprehensible quality, like boundlessness.
  
  The ability to ceaselessly ponder in this way is paramount to any philosophical approach, but there often comes a time when things outlive their usefulness or begin working against themselves.  There is no greater example of this than that of the introduction of infinite regress into the ultimate quest for truth.
  
  Fortunately, there is a point at which we can go no further of dig any deeper.  The smallest constituent part of something, now matter how miniscule, is never going to be any less than it is and that is simply the way things are.  The fact that we can conceptually think of less or mathematically add one more negative number to a line does not mean that there must be something smaller than the smallest thing.  The possibility of something is not the thing itself, so I always do my best to avoid these pointless forms of inquiry.
  
  This may seem like some hypocritical double speak, but my claim that nothing is a necessary component of everything, is actually not unfounded.  As counter-intuitive and convoluted as it sounds, all the evidence seems to point toward the fact that nothing is infinitely large and everything is infinitely small and anything that happens here and now does so between the two.  Luckily, there’s a more scientific means of explaining this.
  
  As a whole, the cosmos can be subdivided into three parts.  These are the omniversal domain of constrained microcosmic dimensions that are closed off, the multiversal domain of furling dimensions that curl in on themselves, and the universal domain of unfurling macrocosmic dimensions that reach out to form a continuum in which objects and organisms interact.  This covers the entire expanse of space-time as it stretches from the infinite implicate uncertainty at the edge of the unstructured nonexistence of nothing to the finite explicate certainty of the structured existence of everything.
  
  Of these, the omniverse is the one and only source of all that is.  This infinite realm of formlessness is the whole of entirety in complete and absolute fullness.  It contains every possible mode, attribute, and perspective that could ever be considered.  This is very important because it means that the omniverse has no way to identify with any particular mode, attribute, or perspective, in and of itself.
  
  The next region of the cosmos serves as the complete set of all possible universes that could exist in relation to an actual reality itself.  So, the multiverse is that part of the cosmos that directly joins a given universe with all of the probable configurations of past, present, and future associated with the events thereof.  The structure of this is similar to a vast network of interconnected tracts, or world-lines, that connect each event with its nearest alternate histories and outcomes.
  
  The physically irreversible matter-of-factness that we associate with reality results from the fact that events are selected by the omniverse.  Through this process of becoming every probable world-line is systematically detached from the expanding space-time continuum that continuously becomes our universe.
  
  To understand why this is, the cosmos has to be divided binarily into its largest and smallest parts.  This is because as a whole, everything eminates out of its constituents.  In other words, the boundless exterior totality of the macrocosm is that into which everything emerges from the boundless interior totality of each microcosm.
  
  These extremely small scales of existence house an undifferentiated, multi-refferential ontological observer that attends to specific world-lines to generate experience by expressing itself through evolving local frames of reference in a given universe.  This process is actualized by a reduction in the potential phenomena as actual noumena emerges.  By witnessing the present moment, the attendant brings about the collapse of a wave function for each and every event as it occurs.
  
  To sum it all up, the multi-referential network of ontological potentia that permeates the omniverse experiences by way of organismal identification through the integrative coupling of multiversal mediation.  This process of becoming is enacted through adaptive sequences of advancement that generate highly specialized life forms throughout the universe. In this way, life serves as a cosmological process of self-sustaining action that allows a microcosm to express itself in the macrocosm. If this sounds complicated that’s only because it is. There simply isn’t any way to make sense of everything in a few paragraphs. This is why I have elected to write the following story, which serves as a rough guide to my ontology which I have supplemented with an accompanying lexicon. However, if things still don’t make sense, e-mail me or post a comment and I can explain things further. Then, we can work out whether I’m right or not.

  Updates!

  Hi all,
  
  Its been some time that an update has been posted! Especially, when we have had so much happen in such an amount of time. There has even been some greater things that have arrived on my plate. Interesting for sure. Can't wait to experience the outcome. Lets get to the updates shall we!
  
  First off, I would like to thank all of those that have attended the meeting! It was great to share some experiences and watch Richard Crowe's informative documentary. The whole meeting was recorded on audio. So, if you missed it. You can listen! Which, more audio files will be added soon too! As soon as I or one of the wonderful members gets too it! It can be a handful when slackers run a research group.This will be all on our yahoo groups.
  
  Also, it was just great to have met others who are interested in finding truth to what is going on. We will be trying to keep up with these meetings. Not just for people involved in the group. But, for people who  are just interested in learning something. That is one thing that I really want to incorporate into have such a group as Lake County Ghost Hunters. Trying to learn together! Expect more videos! And not just on "ghost"! We are projecting a Feburary 28th date currently for the next meeting. If interested, you know where to contact us! And please, if you would like to bring a video to watch or discuss, let us know!
  
  Second, I would like to thank Steve Raebel (Michigan Paranormal Project) Tom Ventosi (Mass Paranormal) Lourdes (NightFall Paranormal) Alex Rondini (Phantom Magazine- I also wrote an article in his online mag this month) and Joey Ward (West Georgia Paranormal Research Society) for kicking off this New Year great! They are great new friends and great guest that we've had on so far and more to come for sure! And thanks for making our show what it is. Without any of the listeners, guests and supporters that we do have. I don't think I would have kept it going. Remember you are part of the experience. Just call in and join the chaos! Or even send us ideas on what you want us to tackle. We will do our best to look at things with an open mind. Keep a look out soon for a post for updates on some blogtalk show that you might have missed. For sure take that time to listen. I took the time to post them! LOL! People! LOL!
  
  Third, our myspace page is being updated thanks to my friend Chris Cassata. If you like what you see. Let Chris know he did a great job! You can find him as Chris on our top friends list. Most likely this will be our logo or banner or whatever you want to call it. It will be what represents us most likely on our upcoming website. Sometimes I wonder if we even need a website. Myspace pretty much has what we need. I mean you really don't need to look pretty to present research on the paranormal. I may sound like a minimalist or cheap. But hey, free and cheap sounds like the path of least resistance. So, check out our blogs, music, videos and blogtalk media player to fill your head with something! And we are not like the other groups where you have to be a friend to view. Its all open to the public! Thats right! No Hassle!
  
  Fourth, I have been working on many projects personally and with members of LCGH who are also part of our little amateur production company called ARRS. I have been working on a comic idea for some time and we do have a wonderful artist and another writer. It is great to have such a great set of people on this project. I can't get too much into it. Only so much has been put together and so much more is needed to complete it. Let's just say it's about a modern day magician and his experiences. Which will both entertain and create awareness! We have 2 rough story arcs and once it gets all put together nicely. One will be adapted into a movie we would make ourselves! In time of course!
  
  Along with awareness and movie making! I have been wanting to see another movie along the lines of "What The Bleep" or just awareness over all. It will be animated! Slowly, things have been pulling together. But, now things are becoming more apparent on what needs to be done. So, as the production group, we had a meeting this last Saturday. It was great! People got to go over this comedy that my "Buddy Holly" Dave Trojan has cooked up. Then we got into the meat and potatoes later on with this animated movie idea. There is a lot to go over and prepare for. That is certain.
  
  I have been tossing this idea for a while. And to the only person that I know will not lead me astray! That is Josh Hehe. He is an advisor of sorts to me for many many years. And close friend who has been working on great stuff since I could remember. Well, lets just say soon you will be seeing his work and hopefully get to watch it in the future. But, with him and my resources. Things have shifted into a faster gear for most of us! His work which is titled "The Chronicles of Ontology" is going to be the basis for hopeful reform in how we do things over all. And the basis for our animated movie. This is big stuff for sure and you will get to see more on it in upcoming March. The work will be posted for all to see later on the net or where ever it can be viewed. And for free! He is actually calling on all people in all fields to come and view this. To comment and add on to the work as "Chroniclers"! More info will come and I will do my best to release some parts of the work before it is released. If you are interested in doing more work in such a project like this. Please, get a hold of me as soon as possible!
  
  Last, I just want to say we are still looking for members for the group. And in that is not just to "ghost hunt". But, actual help in research and building of this group. We are still going through growing pains and we all know how that is. So if you are in the area or outside and you are interested in working with a group or have theories to get out. I would say we are the group. If you are interested in some specific field of research. Such as UFOs, Energy Therapies, Crypto-Zoology, Electronics, EMFs, Geothermal or anything else that can help in research. I want you! There will have to be some organization with all of this. But, I can't research everything on my own. Look at our title on our myspace. Lake County Ghost Hunters- "A Diverse Group Of Paranormal Researchers"! You fit that bill?
  
  Well, thats a lot to say already and most likely I forgot some things. Or some people. To all I missed, "Hey thanks for the support"! keep your eyes wide open and those minds too! We live for the random!And we all have work to do!
