From: Integral World Sent: dinsdag 9 juli 2013 11:56 To: Frank Visser Subject: Dinner with Andrew Newsletter Nr. 455 Amsterdam, July 9th, 2013 MY DINNER WITH ANDREW - S. A. What follows is an account of my attendance at a half-day “Evolutionary Enlightenment” seminar given by Andrew Cohen in Toronto on 22 June, 2013, and a private meeting that I had with him afterward. The seminar was entitled “Living at the Edge of Everything.” As the afternoon progressed, it became increasingly clear to me that my impressions might be of value to those interested in a power struggle that had occurred recently in Cohen's universe: He had been forced into some sort of reckoning with his conduct as a “guru,” and pressured by his “senior students” into vacating his leadership position at the organization he had founded, “EnlightenNext.” Read more: http://www.integralworld.net/blacker2.html INTERDIMENSIONAL CONTACTS - An Integral Search for Complementary and Transdimensional Patterns - Giorgio Piacenza Science and knowledge about ourselves would advance if we knew how “paranormal” effects occur. We would perhaps connect with non-physical aspects of ourselves and generate a wiser integral world culture accordingly. How might different “dimensions” interact? How might ET spacecraft get from one planet to another overcoming the speed of light? Can we travel through higher dimensions and then “re- materialize” or perhaps travel between universes? How might discarnate humans (as ghosts) occasionally demonstrate physical effects? What are the common mechanisms behind apports, psychokinesis, Electronic Transcommunication, ectoplasmic materializations and do all of these basically depend on the same laws and principles? I think that we need more than separate integrative efforts.

The writer's view that all in Mozambique is wonderful due to TM is an oversimplification. We worked in Portuguese speaking Africa and knew the situation of post-War Independence in the ex- Portuguese colonies, from living in Guinea Bissau for several years, even if it was 30 years ago. I still am interested in the ex-Portuguese colonies after that experience. When we were in Lisbon learning Portuguese our landlady's husband had worked for Shell in Mozambique in 1950s/60s. So it wasn't a country with nothing until Chissano came, which the article gives the impression. It is a country rich in natural reserves that were being mined by multi-nationals then, until the war, and now still are being mined again today.
