I like this article. Writing from Australias northern clime , overlooking the Coral Sea,last week an aboriginal lady commented on my husbands’ uncle John McDonald Barstows involvement as the first radio engineer of the fledging Comsat and Early bird satelite project in the 60s. ‘”Of course the native americans had a vision of a world wide net like a spider web.” She was not amazed that Uncle Don of OSAGE Indian heritage , a Washburn University graduate had been involved in the practical application of the vision.
In 1939 he had worked on the Bell Laboratory transistor project and to us he always commented on the social aspect of his scientific life. A humble man working on his vegetable garden in Punta Gorda Florida IN HIS 90S . He beleved in the humanitarian side of life and the giving to others. My husbands father started the first radio station in Kansas nd died in World ar 2 A navy officer in Los Angeles. US science has a human side.
That the native indigenous peoples have used telepethy at an advanced level shows the further possibility of the technology that has transformed the world.
