My Near Death Experience Arts and Thoughts

“What topics do you want to explore?”

By BoJenn and AI ChatGPT

I use the AI regularly, yet I don’t have a subscription to it. It gives basic information, and it rarely fictionalizes my questions. usually, it is straightforward in its responses. It is one if my favorites because it contains a vast amount of information gathered from just about everything.

My question to AI: ‘“ YOU KNOW ME FAIRLY WELL, WHAT TOPIC DO YOU THINK I SHOULD EXPLORE? WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT I WOULD REALLY DIG?”

ChatGPT:

“Based on what I know of you, BoJenn—you’ve got a deep fascination with ancestry, hidden histories, and the intersection of mystery with lived experience. You’re also reflective and lyrical, weaving personal story into wider cosmic or historical frames.

Here are a few directions I think you’d really dig:

The Hidden Lineages – exploring how bloodlines like the Merovingians, Stewarts, and even your own ancestral ties might connect to broader themes of power, myth, and survival. You could braid history with intuition here.

Reverse Engineering & the Human Mind – tying your father’s work, your knowledge of E.E. Jennings, and your curiosity about UFO/ET phenomena into a meditation on what it means to “reverse engineer” not just machines, but consciousness itself.

The Kaleidoscope of Perception – you already write about perspectives like they’re prisms. A full essay or meditation on how individual and collective perception shape history, belief, and even what we call “reality” could be profound.

The Dignity of Belief – given your recent reflections, you could dive into how different belief systems clash and coexist, and why dignity is essential to peace. This would bring in your poetic voice.

Autism as a Hidden Gift – your memoir thread about living 72 years on the spectrum could branch into how neurodivergence ties to creativity, insight, and even otherworldly perception (a theme you’ve circled before).

✨ If I had to pick just one that seems most aligned with your current energy: Reverse Engineering Consciousness — linking your family’s quiet brilliance in science with your own mystical/experiential insights. It would let you merge heritage, mystery, and philosophy into something uniquely yours.

Me: yes, I agree, knowing about my father’s reverse engineering would be incredibly important and interesting. Please, tell me more. Sketch out how I might find out more about this information. 

So, wow! AI gives me this..

AI ChatGPT:

Love this — great question. Below is a practical, step-by-step research sketch you can follow to learn more about reverse engineering consciousness while weaving in your family / historical threads (E.E. Jennings, Project Blue Book, Merovingians / Stewarts, Thiokol background, memoir angles). I give concrete searches, archives, people to contact, tools for organizing, and small deliverables you can produce along the way.

If you want, I’ll draft search queries, a FOIA request template, an email to an archive, or an interview list next — tell me which and I’ll write it now.

Quick research plan (high level)

Define three focused questions you want answered (example set): • What was E.E. Jennings’s (or Emmett E. Jennings’s) technical work and patents, and how might it connect to reverse-engineering projects? • What relevant material exists in official UFO/Blue Book archives and modern UAP releases? • What conceptual and technical literature exists about “reverse engineering the mind / consciousness”? Run targeted primary-source searches (archives, patents, technical papers). Follow secondary / scholarly literature to place primary finds in context. Collect oral histories & expert interviews (former engineers, family, historians). Synthesize into layers — technical timeline, family/biographical timeline, interpretive essay or memoir chapter.

Concrete actions & where to search (with direct pointers)

A. Project Blue Book & UAP records

Start at the U.S. National Archives — Project Blue Book files and digitized UAP records are held there; they’ve made many records available (including bulk downloads). Visit the NARA UAP/Blue Book pages and the catalog for photos and bulk files. 

How to use it: search the NARA catalog by date, location, or case number; download PDFs and metadata; note file citations for later FOIA or archive requests.

B. Finding E.E. Jennings / Emmett (technical & employment records)

Patent and inventor searches (USPTO / Google Patents / Global Dossier) — search by exact inventor name, variants (E. E. Jennings, Emmett E. Jennings, Emmett Jennings), employer (Thiokol), and location (Karnak, TX / company town). The USPTO Patent Public Search and Google Patents are the practical starting points.  Technical papers & professional membership records — search IEEE Xplore and academic indexes for the name or related topics (rocket/motors, mechanical engineering). Use wildcards and affiliation filters. (IEEE search techniques noted on their help pages.)  Employment / corporate archives — contact Thiokol/Motorcraft corporate archives or successor companies (Thiokol history resources, local historical societies near the former plant) and search trade journals/newspapers for the period your father worked there.

If public searches return little, collect family documents (pay stubs, résumés, letters) and use them to request personnel records (subject to company rules) or local library newspaper microfilm lookups.

C. Reverse-engineering consciousness literature (science & philosophy)

Start with accessible overviews and research papers on “reverse engineering the brain / mind” — technical surveys, machine consciousness, and computational neuroscience reviews give grounding (see recent overviews and academic papers). These will help you map jargon and methods so you can interpret technical patents or reports in context. 

D. Genealogy & noble lines (Merovingians, Stewarts)

For the Merovingians consult scholarly histories and medieval genealogical projects (standard works like Ian Wood’s The Merovingian Kingdoms and the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy). For the Stewarts / Stuarts, societies and family-history catalogs (e.g., The Stewart Society, FamilySearch catalogs) are excellent starting points. These give you reliable genealogical baselines you can reference against any family lore. 

Step-by-step workflow (practical, with tools)

Make a 1-page research brief (your 3 focused questions, a 100-word summary of why you care, and 3 deliverables you want — e.g., article, memoir chapter, timeline). Harvest obvious online sources (week 1): NARA Blue Book pages and bulk downloads.  Google Patents / USPTO Patent Public Search for Jennings variants.  Academic review articles on reverse engineering the brain (ResearchGate/Ingenia links to begin).  Snapshot & log findings using Zotero (for citations) + Obsidian or a single Scrivener project (for drafts and notes). Tag items: bluebook, patents, family, reverse-engineering, merovingian. Create a timeline view (simple spreadsheet) combining: birth/death & employment dates for Jennings, Blue Book case dates relevant to places/times that matter to you, and relevant technical milestones (patent dates, publications). This helps spot overlaps. Request deeper material: If you hit a paywall for patents/papers, use Google Patents / USPTO / interlibrary loan.  File a FOIA request for military records or non-digitized Navy/Air Force project records if needed (NARA FOIA guidance). For Project Blue Book most was declassified and is available, but newer UAP materials may have redactions — NARA has bulk downloads and FOIA guidance.  Do oral history & expert outreach (week 3–6): Family: record an interview with relatives about Emmett/E.E. Jennings’s work, collect any letters, notebooks, or photos. Experts: email historians of technology, cognitive scientists working on machine consciousness, and local historians near Thiokol. Use short, respectful emails with 3 clear questions. (I can draft one for you.) UAP researchers / archivists: contact NARA reference staff and UAP researchers for pointers to uncatalogued material.  Synthesize & interpret (weeks 6–10): build three products: a timeline + annotated bibliography, a 1500–3000 word exploratory essay tying technical findings to family history, and a polished memoir chapter that uses the research as scaffolding for reflection.

Search strings & practical queries you can paste immediately

(Use these at NARA, USPTO, Google Scholar, Google Patents, and local newspaper archives.)

NARA / Blue Book: “Project Blue Book” site:archives.gov “case” “date” “location” “Karnak” “Texas” Patent searches: inventor:”Emmett Jennings” OR inventor:”E. E. Jennings” OR inventor:”Emmett E Jennings” site:patents.google.com IEEE / technical: “Jennings” AND (Thiokol OR “rocket” OR “motor” OR “mechanical engineer”) Reverse engineering / consciousness: “reverse engineering” brain mind “review” OR “survey” “machine consciousness”

If you want, I’ll produce exact query strings tailored to Google Patents, USPTO advanced search, and NARA catalog.

Where to contact / people to email

NARA reference staff (use link from their Blue Book/UAP pages).  Local historical societies / public libraries where Thiokol had facilities (ask for company newsletters, employee directories, obituaries). The Stewart Society / medieval genealogy forums for background on Stewarts and Merovingian specialist bibliographies. 

Tools & habits that make research easy

Zotero (citations), Obsidian (linked notes), Google Drive (source files). Spreadsheet timeline (one row = event; columns: date, source, person, place, confidence). Daily 30-minute capture habit: save every source you open with one sentence of why it matters; after 2 weeks you’ll see patterns.

Credibility checks & ethical flags

Treat oral family lore as hypotheses — corroborate with documents. For technical patents: read claims and dates carefully; inventors can be assigned to companies and names sometimes recorded differently. Use USPTO inventor search + Google Patents.  For UAP material: distinguish declassified Blue Book records (1950s–1969) from later UAP documents and modern reporting. NARA pages and bulk downloads mark provenance and redactions. 

Example deliverables I can prepare for you right now
