Yuri, did you brew up a big vat of vodka in your CI laboratory? lol  If Robert 
Ettinger had written a post half this unusual I would know I was right, and that
the two of you must have had quite a drinking contest! : )


I'm not quite sure what your full intentions were in writing this post, but I 
think the closest we will get to this will be in the form of cybernetic/nano 
implants with transmitters so we can experience and even control the actions of 
others.  


It would have been very interesting if in the Bible there were stories of God 
making many thousands of mentally linked copies of a certain prophet so the 
rebellious of every realm would be without excuse when it came to hearing the 
message.  That single miracle would have been enough to convince most people!  
Nowadays, I don't know if even this would convince a Skeptical Inquirer 
Conference group! lol  


In eastern religions they do talk of avatars who are a small part of the 
substance of a god, but appear to actually be him.  I suppose those Indian 
pantheons had to solve their scheduling problems somehow.   


Dr. Pichugin, I look forward to hearing much more about your advances in the 
realm of vitrification.  If you have made some real progress here, it will be 
quite a feather in the hat of the Cryonics Institute.  Please let the list know 
how things are going for you.


Perhaps sometime we could have a mini conference at the Creekside Preserve Lodge
on the subject of CI research.  It would be wonderful to have you & Professor 
Ettinger as our honored guest speakers.

best wishes,
