Down BMS Memory Lane by R. A. Hoffman

In 1971, a fellow engineer at MTS - the Manitoba Telephone System 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 tackle relativity. I was 25, he was 23.

Three years later, in 1974, while sitting at my desk at MTS, I 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 now titled 666/XXX - Walking "Erect".

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.
