Hey guys,
Since a bunch of you have now shown interest in the archive, here's the
latest updates. Great stuff:
First of all, let's talk about the fun stuff, which is the content. I've
been digging through my old materials (always a process) and am finding LOTS
of great usable material that can go into the archive. "If it's audio, and
anyone would care to listen to it, then we can stream it" is the motto. I
think there are a total of five nicely-recorded, live-audience lectures or
Sunday services that I gave at the Fellowship between 2000 and 2001, and one
in 2002, each of which is 35+ minutes long - so I may need to break them up
into two-file chunks for easier downloading. These were big audiences and
you really get that feeling of being part of it when you listen back to it -
and that sacred environment really brought out the best in me, and in my Law
of One scholarship and life experience of it all.
The majority of these talks were well-received enough that I got standing
ovations at the end, which is not a "normal" thing at the Fellowship. It is
frustrating, though, that the guy who made the CDs for me had obliterated my
introductions, so it just starts with me talking, AND he faded out the
applause as soon as it starts - so you don't get to hear the fact that it
actually sustained for a good while in each case. But then again, you listen
to it and you KNOW how good it is, so you don't need that confirmation,
really.
I also discovered my "unofficial radio debut" just weeks after the
channeling had started in 1996. I had called in on a local metaphysical
radio program hosted by Eric Francis, who I did some work for as an
assistant at the time. In some ways I cringe at how my own enthusiasm to be
heard caused me to violate all the rules of being a good caller, but Eric's
guest was patient with me, though she did go into some behavior that could
be construed as controlling towards the end, in a New Agey way. Instead of
letting me be OK in my confusion as I was, or drawing a healthy boundary and
saying that if I was going to keep on talking that we needed to end my call,
she basically went into a controlling mother mode. I remember that I felt
very, very awkward that she hit me with such an unexpected twist while live
on the air, but I went with it and did as she asked.
Despite my lack of discretion, it is fascinating to hear me on the radio
talking about this channeling after it had literally just gotten started.
Some part of me knew that it was very important to get documentation of this
whole phase, at that unique moment, on broadcast radio for posterity. You
can really see the progression when you hear how I sounded back then and
compare it to subsequent years on radio. Once Eric's in-studio guest forced
me to meditate on the air and "put more love in," I knocked out the power on
my cordless phone, psychically, and the call spontaneously terminated just
as I was starting to talk from that centered place. All I said was "I just
want everyone to feel" and then it cuts off - but that in and of itself WAS
the important message, it would seem.
I will probably also put in an "early ambient music" section that will
feature more of the work that I did with my friend Jude earlier in my
career. I'll go through and pick the best stuff so that it doesn't drag on
or become tiresome - but I will also put in disclaimers to say, "Hey, we
were really pretty young when we did this stuff, and even though the
keyboards we used were top of the line for the time, the recording gear was
awful, so it's not the highest fidelity stuff."
There are also six months worth of readings that I did in 2001, "global
readings" in this case that everyone can benefit from, and thankfully they
are already in digital format so they can be easily converted to streaming
audio. The main thing is that I have to listen to them all and insure that
there is nothing personal or incriminating in there - and that could take
some time as there's a lot of material - but I will work on it steadily.
In the meantime, Larry Seyer, who I co-produced my upcoming CD series "The
Science of Peace" with, (he's won nine Grammys mostly as a recording
engineer) has got me set up with the best possible tools to get these audio
files processed at the highest level of fidelity for the bandwidth that
we'll be using. So that's also perfectly timed. He also turned me on to
PowWeb.com, which is apparently the "best server deal around" right now. You
can pay 100 bucks, basically, and get 10 gigs a day of bandwidth for a year
and a half. The only problem is that once you exceed the 10 gigs, anyone
going to your site is going to get a message saying that you exceeded your
allotment and to please come back tomorrow.
This is ONLY an emergency backup, but we will keep it in place. We ran the
numbers and by comparison, even the half-T1 that I will be ordering can do
almost 65 gigs a day, and the full T could do 130 gigs a day.
So most likely, I will originate the archive on PowWeb, but leave that as a
freebie for the people who sign up for a year since it could die
intermittently. We've got the T1 order in process and that should come to
fruition by about the third week of August. However I'm inclined to build up
the archive rapidly on PowWeb before then, so it won't be a downgraded or
limited archive - only in the sense that if more than 1000 people download
or stream 10MB or more a day, then we're going to hit a brick wall. That's
not likely to happen, quite honestly, so we'll probably be fine.
As for actually having the Pay Pal link up and running with an archive so
you can get this started if you're interested, we're still working on that.
It's not quite at the point where I can give a definitive estimate, but I
would certainly think that we'll be up and running by the end of the week.
We've had a glitch in that my business partner's second hard drive has just
crashed, but everything he was doing relative to our site was being stored
on the server's own hard drive. So that really shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, gotta run, but thought I'd let you all in on the good news. In case
you're new to this thread or are interested but have not yet signed up, the
normal one-year subscription rate for the archive is going to be 84 dollars,
but if you sign up now we're doing it for 72, and you'll also get a free
month while we host the site on PowWeb - which will probably work fine
because as we're in the early stages we're not likely to ever exceed 10 gigs
a day of bandwidth, especially because it's going to be streaming audio up
there, not very many downloads.
So, if you are interested and want to get access as soon as we have it
ready, you can mail us a check for 72 at:

My dreams, incidentally, have been EXTREMELY supportive of what is going on
here. I had a dream this morning where I did an amazing job of dispelling
negative spirits from a basement that had become contaminated with people
who were in fear and didn't realize that the fear was actually the problem
itself. The fear was what was causing all these bad things to happen. I had
some amazing Ascended abilities in this dream, let me tell you - levitation,
light coming out of my hands, the whole bit.
Peace be with you -
- David
