Please see attached for an advert about an interesting piece of research on unusual experiences currently running at the Institute of Psychiatry by Denmark Hill station. It pays ?20 (plus reasonable travel expenses) and takes roughly 2 hours of your time.

"I know an officer in our police force who has told me that many times when off duty and on his way home in the evening, there comes to him such a vivid and vital realization of his oneness with this Infinite Power, and this Spirit of Infinite Peace so takes hold of and so fills him that it seems as if his feet could scarcely keep to the pavement, so buoyant and so exhilarated does he become by reason of this inflowing tide."


ETA citation: from: In tune with the infinite; Author: Trine, Ralph Waldo , 1897. Quoted in a footnote in William James's Varieties of religious experience.

I had an out of body experience when I was near death when I was a child. I can remember it vividly. I was floating around the ceiling and was not in pain. Then I heard my Nan coming up the stairs and started panicking thinking I should get back into that 'Me' body down there on the bed!

But since this was over three months ago I guess it doesn't count.

Also, since then, it can be explained scientifically as a result of so many more studies on the intricacies of the brain.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
