Curriculum Vitae -- -- of Dr. Rosalie Bertell, Ph.D., G.N.S.H.

Someone on the net had railed a while back, after I had posted a speech by Dr. Rosalie Bertell, about how he had never heard of her before. In this person's measured opinion, "she has no understanding of anything even vaguely scientific." Who was she? What was her background? And how could any intelligent person possibly take her seriously? The implication was, since this person had never heard of her, she therefore could not be a credible source of information. He went on to say that since he had never heard of a military experiment she was describing called the "rainbow test," this was sufficient for him to "doubt it existed". Apparently, for this person, she must have simply made this up and that was the end of it.

Some people's level of denial is very deep. The inability to doubt oneself -- to operate from a perspective of confident certainty so far-reaching as to suggest a sense of self-omnipresent awareness, as if one could actually possess closure on knowledge of consciousness, of being, and of the universe we find ourselves alive in--this kind of grandiosity belies an untempered soul.

If persons with such a sense of certainty that they somehow possess a closure on knowledge really were interested in confirming this closure, they might contact Dr. Bertell at the IICPH in Toronto and find out for themselves just where and how and from who she has learned about what she discusses in her speeches I have transcribed and posted. Short of this, snide and contemptuous responses on the net belie a fundamental immaturity and an inability to even entertain the possibility of self-doubt, or of being open to learning ever more about the infinite, layered complexity and interrelatedness of the universe, and our own startling capacity as a species to, apparently, be aware of it.
