ALT.FUTURE.MILLENNIUM

Hi Everyone! Alt.future.millennium is a new Usenet newsgroup I sponsored in
alt.config and which was recently newgrouped by Jonathon Grobe. In addition
to being fairly obsessed with millennium topics and co-creator of "The
Millennium Matters..." website on Server 1, I am also a member of NCN-Main
and The New Civilization Network. One of the areas we have in common is new
community -- finding new ways to live and be with each other. Our "Vision
of Sanctuary" topic area especially was designed to segue neatly into the
resources of The New Civilization Network.

So, I would like to cordially invite all of you to visit
alt.future.millennium and consider it an online, Usenet home for The New
Civilization Network. We have invited another New Community group to join
us as well -- NewHeavenNewEarth. I hope alt.future.millennium will be a
place we can all meet and share experiences, ideas, and expertise. We
invite your input and discussion....

 ALT.FUTURE.MILLENNIUM -- TOPICS

 The six topic-areas we discuss in alt.future.millennium are:
 Matters of SPIRIT, The SPHINX Group, GAIA Alert, UFOrmation,
 New World ORACLE, and VISION of Sanctuary. Each is described
 in detail below...

 MATTERS OF SPIRIT
 Many people feel a quickening of Spirit. They see the
 millennium as primarily a spiritual event that will have a
 dramatic impact in every area of their lives; touching everyone
 -- everything -- on this planet. In "Matters of SPIRIT," we
 look at information about the millennium with a wide spiritual
 focus. We examine spiritual sources, ancient and modern, to
 prepare our minds for the immensity of changes to come. We
 discuss prophecy... from Nostradamus to Native American
 elders to the Gulf Breeze 6..., from OBEs to waking visions
 from a crystal sphere; and divination... from astrology to Tarot
 to ouija boards to see what is said about the coming millennial
 period. [A note here: there are excellent newsgroups discussing
 the various techniques and methodologies of divination
 (alt.divination), astrology (alt.astrology), and tarot (alt.tarot)
 and we refer you to those newsgroups for questions about
 divinatory techniques.]

 THE SPHINX GROUP
 Most academicians begin the study of human civilization
 with the culture of ancient Sumer, which rose to datable
 prominence beginning ~3000 B.C.E. with that culture's
 use of writing. But when we look further back into the
 mists of ancient times, we hear whispers of other worlds
 -- mysterious worlds like Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu.... Did these
 civilizations ever exist? Many believe so, but how, where...
 do we find indications convincing enough to cause a serious
 reexamination of Earth's prehistory...?

 The Sphinx Group began as an Internet discussion about
 the true age of the Egyptian Sphinx at Giza. As the discussion
 continued, the subjects under consideration broadened as we
 searched for evidence that might take us beyond conjecture
 and legend. "Ancient Readings," searches for clues to our
 prehistory in history, literature, mythology, astronomy,
 geology, and archaeology; "Ancient Monument... Modern
 Enigma," looks at ancient Egyptian monuments specifically;
 "Methods to Monolith," looks at ancient building methods
 (and the 20th century's Leedskalnin) as well as the physical,
 acoustical, and astronomical properties of ancient
 monuments; and "Ancient Visitor or Sky God," looks for
 indications of off-world influence on Earth's prehistory....

 GAIA ALERT
 It's the nature of Gaia, our living planet, to be active.
 Rumbling with earthquakes, swept by storms, the Earth has
 always been a busy place. But now, scientists are studying
 disturbing new trends and wondering what it all means. What's
 causing "storms of the century" to devastate terrain worldwide?
 Is El Nino responsible for all the weird weather? If Antarctic
 ice shelves break up, how will global coastlines be affected?

 For millennia, prophets and sages have envisioned cataclysmic
 earth changes in some distant future. Modern seers have
 predicted pole shifts, devastating earthquakes and floods, even
 collisions with asteroids and comets. Are we in fact entering
 apocalyptic times? Is there hard evidence for any of the
 current doomsday scenarios? And can the prophetic warnings
 serve to remind us of our roles as planetary caretakers as we
 face the spectres of global warming, the greenhouse effect, and
 eradication of entire species? "Gaia Alert" discusses geology,
 weather, environment, the oceans, our celestial environment,
 and disaster preparedness.

 UFORMATION
 Since the time of Ezekiel and the first, flying "chariots of
 fire," man has been intrigued and fascinated by the idea of our
 planet being visited by off-world intelligences piloting
 strange flying machines. In the historical and cultural records
 of numerous civilizations, in numerous Biblical references,
 through art from ancient Sumer and Egypt, to the recent
 discoveries in Mayan and Native American architecture and
 archives; man's relationship with whoever "they" are, appears
 to be long and ongoing. When taken as a whole, the picture is
 astonishing... and, more than a little... unsettling.

 Since the 1947 Roswell incident, two things have become
 increasingly clear: UFO reports have steadily increased and
 they have become increasingly exotic and strange.... Our
 discussion of UFOs includes talk about artifacts allegedly left
 by aliens and found everywhere from the human brain... to the
 corn and wheat fields of England; human abductions; and the
 "monuments" photographed by NASA on the surfaces of Mars and
 the Moon. We do not seek to prove a single point-of-view, but
 to discuss all of them in a non-combative way.

 THE NEW WORLD ORACLE
 Here we deal with emerging sociopolitical trends and discuss
 the governments of the world and how they will deal with
 the many crises that seem to approaching all at once. Included
 in this area are topics such as the possibility of a one world
 government, Tesla technologies, individual liberties in a fast
 changing world, effects of massive diasters on our earth's
 governments, etc.

 VISION OF SANCTUARY
 What are the possibilities for intentional communities arising
 from what is or from what will be after earth changes? What
 technologies will we need? What preparations should we make?
 What are some of the alternative healing methodologies that
 might be useful to know or learn. Everything about intentional
 communities and how to build them, alternative healing, and
 steps that have already been taken by groups such as "The New
 Civilization Network," "NewHeavenNewEarth," "The House of
 David Teaching Center," "Findhorn," "The Farm" etc., will be
 discussed. All such communities are invited to make this their
 Usenet newsgroup home.

May your road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall soft upon all that you plant
And until we meet again,
May your God cradle you in the palm of his hand...
