Last week I reported:

The Integratron is the creation of George Van Tassel, and is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions from extraterrestrials. That's right - and Dr. F. can confirm it - old George talked to aliens prior to building the Integratron.

Anyhow, this one-of-a-kind building is a 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, non-metallic structure originally designed by Van Tassel as a rejuvenation and time machine. Today, it is the only all-wood, acoustically perfect sound chamber in the U.S. That might not sound like much but the structure is magnificent, a real work or art, and all done with wooden dowels and glue and so forth. A labor of love with a few little green men tossed in for good measure.

Apparently, they were missing a key part, so the time traveling aspect never worked and Van Tassel went and died. Then they recently found the missing piece in the garage of Van Tassel's widow - it was a kind of octagon/geodesic-shaped widget, also wooden, little bigger than a rugby ball, but according to Craig, was wrought with "fantastic articulation of small oak gears and do-dads and several Plexiglas windows and so forth."

This was the key piece, the "vortex catalyst" that could redirect the spectacular cosmic energies and vortices tapped from the fall line on which the Integraton was built - or something like that. You'd have to ask Craig.

Anyhow, the rig went on line last week, and Dr. F was there to see it.
They apparently stuck the widow's beagle in the "power chair" stationed in the middle of the wooden time machine. Craig swears he was standing fifteen feet away from the hound and was looking right at it - then it was simply gone. Vanished.

But this in only starting to get good. As the story goes, local resident and former 5.12 Gunks pioneer and math whizz/professor John Stannard was hiking out by the Lost Pencil when he came across the raptured beagle and, for the lack or a rightful owner, kept it at his crib over by Gordo's palace and when the story started circulating at Gordon's on Sat. night (no one believed a word Craig was saying, of course), Stanndard went and got the Beagle and Craig almost sh#t his pants.

Nobody is quite sure what to say about any of this except Dr. F. seemed genuinely rattled by the experience and was drinking whiskey from the bottle along with the "White Louis Ferrrrakhan."

No se??

It was a "Bagel" not a "Beagle."


And I think Craig ate it while Largo's back was turned.

I can verify that Craig actually climbed this route while I - who climb once every three years now - floundered.

Does anyone recall a "flushing" sound when the beagle disappeared?

I've had hiking partners disappear into similar looking buildings but there were always some kind of unpleasant sound involved.

Maybe this is the famous bagel/beagle?
It was certainly at casa jstan.

I magically received not one, but FOUR, bagels when I was sort of near the Integratron. Probably about 15 miles away, and I think my four bagels may have appeared before the one beagle disappeared, but anything is possible with time travel!

I did?

maybe it was a time traveling me who came back when I wasn't looking and posted the answer I'm going to figure out sometime later...

this time-travel stuff can be confusing
just try to figure out this movie:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(film);

anyway, don't worry about it, if you think you're involved with time travel, it's more than likely you're going insane, having a bit of dementia, are really overhung and not wanting to think about how you got that way, or are just being mischievous, or too involved in a klimmer thread

whatever

dr. F may be playing with fire. van tassel's widow, if she's still alive, was a suspect in his death in 1978, after which she supposedly went mad. yes, the key parts disappeared.

It is written:

"Van Tassel wrote six books about his out-of-this-world experiences, including, "I Rode in a Flying Saucer." And he started a non-sectarian, non-profit organization for religious and scientific research, the College of Universal Wisdom."

It is, I believe, from the College of Universal Wisdom that our own Dr. F received his PhD in Astral-dynamic Vortices and Mental Physics. If there ever was a man who could harness the awesome power of the Venusians, it surely is the good Doctor.

OK!

This was fun to read, but I now have 24 Beagles that are mostly here, but then are not.

There are also a batch

of bagles mostly here and then not.

Why here?

I saw that movie. It seemed interesting then it got really weird. I'm glad someone posted about it since I never knew the title. Thanks.

Dave

P.S. If the Integratron works, is it because God allows it or because we found a way to yet again do evil without permission? And if God is cool with us going to distant places to meet aliens, is it possible that they are his children and we are just the filler created to make their lives more interesting?

Little known to most, but Van Tassel was deeply influenced (some would say mentored) by Edwin J. Dingle -- the founder of Mental Physics.

It is not coincidental that Van Tassel located the Integratron in the high desert only a few miles from where Dingle had earlier relocated his Mental Physics Institute.



These mysteries are not to be taken lightly.

Edwin J. Dingle, F.R.G.S.

The F.R.G.S. stands for Fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society. In his early days (early 1900s), Dingle was a hell of an explorer and cartographer spending years in China and Tibet. It is during these sorties that he supposedly came into contact with "secret knowledge."

When I first started going to Josh, age 16, I was all over the Mentalphysics joint. They used to have a pyramid-shaped structure on the north end of the complex and all kind of kooky and curious folk wandering the grounds. They had a kind of psychic air force manned by accomplished astral travelers who passed on their knowledge to Dr. F., who refuses to divulge said arcane mysteries and instead poses as a materialist.

Perhaps the beagle is merely chronosynclastically infundibulated in and of itself?!? No mechanism necessary...
