Thank you... now that I am actually losing sleep because other posters I trust are telling me that outside sources are confirming a slew of independent aspects, I kick myself for not taking it too seriously. I should have asked really important questions... though it IS nice to know the breakaways views on death...heh.
I would have loved to ask about their culture and economics and more about our history... and I'm still fluctuating with cognitive dissonance... but the more I ponder it, the more sense it makes, rather than less... and that is not normal to novel information of that nature.
If true, then I blew it... Astr0 was very nice to me and offered to answer "anything with 100% accuracy" and I was a tad unprepared... and frankly, wasted.
EDIT and we are starting a study thread to collate info, trace timelines, and coax certain reluctant members to publicly tell about their personal experiences with the guy ...that include being awakened by "RK-ers" in white clean suits saying "hi" before they are put back to sleep in their bedrooms... there are many, many reasons I'm taking this one thread quite seriously.
ETAx2: And of course, that doesn't invalidate some of the thoughts on this thread about interactions with energy beings of all stripes... in fact, it rather strengthens it. Certain kinds of high tech UFOs, though, are explained... as well as the abduction scenario. Random energy beings from the void or a system of them playing with us, leeching off us... is still possible.

If you mean Miragemen as in Miragemen, that's what was refreshing about the story: it had not one iota of any of the beleaguered American UFO thang at all.
Did it?
Hold on lemme check it again...
The 'forevermen' stuff is just the Ascended Master schtick rehashed.

Before I sleep I will say that for better or worse, that's how it's done: the only way in to The Control System is to write your way in.
Astr0 did it in two posts. What makes it live, any of the writing, is the friction created by the dialectic; by the discussion of a story and by arguing over what makes it good, or not.
Though as a story... it's wonderful and so darn human.
...considering the info poor nature of said tale,
The end of our foundation is the knowledge of causes, and secret motions of things; and the enlarging of the bounds of human empire, to the effecting of all things possible.
