Down BMS Memory Lane by R. A. Hoffman

In 1967, I graduated from science wanting to figure out relativity; unsatisfied with my marks in science, I switched to engineering, graduating in 1970 and then was one of many engineers who got hired at MTS - the Manitoba Telephone System. In 1971, a fellow engineer came across a listing in the yellow pages for the BMS - Bartonian Metaphysical Society. He and I attended an introductory lecture given by the founder Winifred G. Barton. I took the courses thinking that esoterics might be a way to make sense of relativity. I was 25, he was 23.

Three years later, in 1974, while sitting at my desk at MTS, it remembered reading in my home atlas and in my science astronomy textbook that two dates in Earth's early history begin with the numeral '6' (6 billion, 600 million). I wondered if 6000, the number of years roughly since the time of Adam and Eve, would be the last number in a progression that sums up evolution. At the library, I found reference articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica written by or quoting Richard Leakey that immediately filled in the gap. In 1975, after working exactly five years at MTS, I quit engineering and started writing a book which I worked on for over fifty years.

Winifred Grace Barton (1923-2016), founder of the BMS in Winnipeg in 1967, renamed I*AM - Institute of Applied Metaphysics, came to Canada from London, England in 1947, the year after I was born. See a description of the early days in metaphysics called "Unrolling the BMS Scroll" by Adrienne Smith. The Winnipeg Unit had, in the 1970's, about 100 active members.
