PERMISSION-TO-REPRODUCE POLICY As | type, tl While reproduction and dissemination of the information in NEXUS is actively encouraged, allegealy eo anyone caught making a buck out of it, without reprint of this our express permission, will be in trouble when ‘Til again, t we catch them! Feedback from NEXUS readers covers an extremely wide range of subjects and opinions, but it is 99.9% positive in its encouragement of our efforts to continue publishing. Whilst most feedback is in the form of letters and phone calls, we are also attracting a lot of response through our Internet Web Page, which has now registered well over 50,000 ‘hits' since November last year and represents nearly every country on the planet. A special hello to all those readers in Iceland! The 1996 NEXUS Conference in Sydney was a huge success. Over 300 peo- ple came from as far away as Germany, UK, USA, Canada, Fiji and New Zealand and had a thoroughly good time. During the Conference Discussion Panel on the Saturday night, a person stood up and commented on how NEXUS had literally ‘blown his mind' when he first started reading it several years ago. He and many others vocalised that they felt NEXUS has provided them with information that 'totally shattered’ their perceptions of reality and left them ‘in shock’, until a new perceptual framework of reality emerged in their lives. It was an interesting discussion, with someone even suggesting that NEXUS could ‘help cushion the blow' with some sort of ‘debriefing process' each issue. | explained that for us to replace his ‘shattered reality’ with another view- point preferred by NEXUS, means that we would be robbing him of his own power to chose an alternative ‘picture’. Sure, NEXUS is happy to point out reasons why people should think twice about trusting 'the system’ and all its ‘experts’, but NEXUS will never tell you what is the 'right' way—because we don't know ourselves! | might point out here that while NEXUS has also pub- lished many positive alternatives, or solutions, to various problems, the power to make the choice of what to believe, what to do, etc., must be yours. Regularly double-check everything you believe. If it is working for you (i.e., you are happy), then stick with it a while longer. If it is not working for you (i.e., you are not happy), then change what you believe. What is the point of maintaining a belief system that makes you miserable? My joy in life is being able to bring readers of NEXUS into contact with ideas and information that empower them as individuals. Speaking of which, allow me to rave a while about the merits of various articles to be found in this issue. The Hormone Heresy article last issue generated huge interest across the planet, so much so that we decided to continue it in this issue. This article is a classic example of information which can empower you. The lecture by Alex Collier in our last issue also attracted enormous response. We received three letters commenting that it was total and utter crap, and 10 times as many saying it was the 'best big picture' they had read for a long time. This amazing tale of extraterrestrial and extradimensional adventure is taken up again this issue. For the last few months we have been ‘tracking’ information on White Powder Gold which has been circulating various networks in the USA and Australia. It is an extraordinary story about an extraordinary set of substances. Please try to wade through the science as there are even more surprises in Part 2, next issue. You're sure to be hearing a lot more about this in the future. As | type, the other ‘big thing’ making the rounds is the story of the ‘alien’ allegedly captured by the Brazilian military earlier this year. We've run a reprint of this press story in Twilight Zone. ‘Til again, happy reading!
