Great comments David!
Suzanne it was so nice to hear from a contemporary about leaving a legacy and that David experiences having a “soul blueprint”. As an elder in a youth worshipping culture they resonated with me. Love, Frolic
Very special message from both of you and the energy was equal to the words. Very inspirational and needed today in our world now more than ever. Thank you…
So glad to have David received with the appreciation I feel for him. Fingers crossed we will partner on things that can matter, where his enthusiasm matches mine for making fundamental changes to help this hurting world!
Wonder Full program with inspirational and revelatory information. Just what I needed in the midst of this planetary pivotal pandemic pause, especially The Galileo Commission. Now when I look at Jupiter and his moons I’ll always be thinking of the wider and deep purpose of Galileo’s work brought into our chaotic current times as a remedy by David Lorimer and company.
By the way, what do you think and sense from this summer season’s Crop Circle formations in the fields? Really some fantastic sacred geometry and positioning and meaning being revealed in Psi information coming through and from the synchronistic and channeled book: The Only Planet of Choice: briefings from deep space.
Your thoughts?
Blessings, Dr. J Paul DeVierville

I thought the circles would – that discovering another intelligence would make us one humanity in creation to ‘the other,’ humbling us arrogant people in the process.

When it was discovered that the hoaxers and the main circle site were in cahoots, that was a sea change where I came to think the real deal had left. (See what I wrote: https://suespeaks.org/crop-circles.) This year, that circle around a tree was so gorgeous and reminiscent of the good ones of yesteryear that I asked my “don’t quote me” English authority, who I can quote without name:
