FROM JOHN ANTHONY WEST            


UPCOMING SOON

 

Friends, Grockles, Egyptophiles, 

 

A (somewhat belated) email to tell you that I will be giving a talk in
Baltimore at the Fortfest,  March 25-26 2006

 

The 41st Annual Fortfest held under the auspices of the Fortean Society,
commemorates and perpetuates the work and spirit of Charles Fort (d. 1932),
iconoclast, curmudgeon and gadfly scholar/philosopher who devoted his life
to researching anomalous phenomena contemporary science could not answer .
and then delighting in rubbing their collective noses in it.  

 

Today's Forteans carry on that noble tradition.  As long as it can be backed
up by something more than fantasy and/or pure speculation nothing is too
outrageous for them.  Click on the links below for details of this upcoming
event.  

 

 I will be talking about something new for a change: THE EINSTEINS OF OLD:
Modern Science - Ancient Symbolism, introducing important work that has
surfaced over just the last five years or so, demonstrating that the
ancients (not just in Egypt but effectively everywhere) understood in
detail, and expressed in myth and symbol what contemporary science is just
now discovering, exploring and expressing mathematically- astrophysics,
cosmology, the genesis and structure of matter, the fact and the importance
of the precession of the equinoxes, and much else besides.  

FORTFESTS are invariably as lively as they are eclectic. While not
everything on the program is for everybody, for everybody there is always
something, often something special - unusual, original, thought-provoking. 

As an added and major attraction, this particular event will be held (at
last!), not in your standard stodgy hotel or convention hall setting, but
rather in one that perfectly suits the idiosyncratic Fortean temperament;
Baltimore's spectacular, moving and utterly unique American Visionary Arts
Museum.  <http://www.avam.org/> http://www.avam.org/

And coming soon (well, actually not all that soon, but if you're interested
you'll want to plan well in advance for it)  I'll also be
lecturing/participating in the 'FORTSCAPE' CARIBBEAN CRUISE   December 10-17
2006. 'The Seminar on the Sea 2.0'  

 

This an updated/upgraded  repeat of the Fortean's highly successful 2005
maiden cruise; this time on a different liner, stopping at more (and more
desirable) sites and featuring a predictably unpredictable gamut of
speakers.  Details to be posted shortly on the Fortfest website.  You may
want to book soon since it's already nearly full.  (Go to the Fortfest home
page for contact info. 

 

I hope to see at least some of you who live within range of Baltimore on the
25-26th. 

 

Until then, 

 

John Anthony West
