There was once a great magazine called OMNI that explored the parameters of the mind better than any rag I have ever read. I loved it and it could coincide with the hunger of my own mentality. I recall once that I read an article by two Russian scientists who had done some research on an astroid from the astroid belt that indicated it was once a planet and it had evidence of life within its data. The had suggested that it might have been a planet some 4 million years ago. Most of the evidence for anthropologist suggests that we evolved from an ape back about 4 million years ago. One wonders if there was an escape from that old planet to Earth back then. Of course, I incorporated this theory in my book THE ENIGMNI and told a meta-fictional story about such a theory. I certainly do believe we are alien to this planet and that our home is far away and perhaps even dead now. We once were highly advanced and our minds dwelled on learning rather than sexual predilections that most of our fellow humans seem to possess this day and time (see US Malls).
If I had the money, I would revive that old magazine and website/s to make it great once again. I once worked for a large publisher designing magazines and doing the covers for surreal impact. I just loved the graphics of Omni. Caused deep thought. I had all the issues at one time, but I made the mistake of taking them to my computer graphics classes when I taught that, and over 12 years my students took everyone of them. Now, they are gone.



I share your love
The first time I came in contact with OMNI I was in my early teens, and it was the spanish version. Since then I became hooked, but unfortunately the spanish version stopped being imported to Mexico; luckily by then I found that my college store sold the american version, and while pretty expensive for my economy it was certainly worth it.
What I loved about OMNI the most was, apart frm the real cool art covers, the inclusion of great sci-fi short stories, and the interest they had in the UFO subject.
It was a real shame that when the mag was cancelled they were in the middle of their "Open Book" project to "find out the truth about the UFO enigma", and they were also realeasing really cool comics about themes like the MIB and the Face on Mars; apparently the magazine demise was cancelled by poor administration decisions since it was acquired by the publishers of 'Penthouse Magazines', but deep down I still suspect the shadow government might have wanted to silence OMNI for meddling too much in such dangerous affairs as Roswell and the Abduction phenomenon ;-)
