    Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    I was excited to discover TOEQUEST, especially finding RascalPuff. Way back in 1970 I came across a mysterious comic book called "The New Gravity, Einstein Monster Magazine #2". I read it with delight and the reality of the accelerating expansion of the entire universe in 4-D time-space has been in my mind ever since. In 1972 I moved and in the process lost the comic.

    Every few years I would hunt around to try and find it. I even setup a meeting at the University of California at San Luis Obisbo to see their library archive of RP's volumes only to find out a day before my trip to the campus that the library didn't actually have any of the writings. Last month I purchased "The New Gravity Edition 2" and the comic on Amazon.com. Then, just last week I came across this website.

    Jeeze, as I write this I am feeling like a groupie. But the truth is that I simply understand and see gravity as RP has described and it is just part of what makes me appreciate this life so much. I work as an engineering director at a software company and I also am seriously into photography as well as writing poetry. I travel a lot with my engineering job - all over the world which feeds my passion for photography. My website is www.arrowphotos.com

    Hope to learn a lot more in this forum.

    Dear Charles:
    You humble me, sir.
    On the other hand, as you ostensibly are aware, reading 'The New Gravity' (- including time, is the 4th dimension) is a self redemptive reward in itself. It can be indeed, truly a tonic for the expansion of personal and collective consciousness...
    http://www.toequest.com/forum/toetheory-articles/2516-total-field-theory-reinstatement-cosmological-constant-steady-state-theories.html
    As I have said before - wish I had said: 'If I have seen further than some others, it is from the shoulders of giants'. On the other hand, I did just say that, though certainly not the first to have been so humbled.
    It sure is good to meet you.

    Incidentally, your website is Magnificent.

    Best regards,
    - RP

    Re: Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    Hi Charles;

    Welcome to the forum. I was impressed with your photos. Boulder, where your University is located, is indeed a beautiful city. I went camping in Rocky Mountain National Park many years ago and fell in love with Estes Park. I taught at Cal Poly in SLO back in the 80's, also a pretty town with it's mission. I actually lived across the street from it, in a building that at one time was it's rectory.

    You'll find RP to be very helpful and a true gentleman.

    Best to you sir,

    Pat

    P.S. California Polytechnic is part of the CSU system not the UC system, though both are state run universities systems.

    Re: Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    Profpat,
    Glad you like the photos, thanks. Maybe the reason why the archives didn't have the comics was because in my universe it is UC SLO instead of Cal Poly? Just kidding. I like to tell people that I seem to forget a lot of things, but my memory is just fine. The problem is really with the retrieval system.

    Mikal,
    The Snow Tanning image is one of my favorites. A unique condition when the snow covered the chairs and the sun warmed the back of the chairs to make the top droop into alien heads. The sunglasses are Ray Ban courtesy of Photoshop. I tried to create an avatar using that image, but I can't figure out how to edit the avatar. I went to my profile and there is a radio box that says "Do not use avatar". Is it because I am still in training?
    Regards,
    Charles

    "the expansion of personal and collective consciousness" makes me wonder if my spirit and soul are also expanding at an accelerated rate. I haven't come across any math for that; however, my experience is the expansion of consciousness is more a sputter as opposed to being continuous.

    Just to warn the members of this forum, sometimes my humor is too subtle. Yet I am never a person who would throw around insults. So, my apology in advance if at any time my words come across in the wrong way.
    Charles

    Re: Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    Hi Charles...if my memory doesn't fail me...lol...I think you have to make more than eight posts to take an Avatar and I think to bring your own Avatar and download it you have to be a paying member....otherwise you can only take the Avatars listed on the site....

    Now if there are any changes around that I am sure somebody else will come and post it....

    You have beautiful photography on your site and yes your Suntanners quite unique which of course always catches my eye....


    Regards Mikal

    You're right Mikal, it's a $25 membership fee per year, and the main advantage is that you can pick your own avatar.

    So when you're comfortable Charles, start a thread on whatever, as Robert has a very diverse site.
