Bio Notes
Reverend Robert Kirk (1644-1692) of Aberfoyle, Scotland. Authored 'The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies' in 1691, detailing 'second sight' and entities with 'light changeable bodies (lyke those called Astral)' — the term 'Astral' later reused in Monroe Institute / Gateway Process consciousness research (Research_5/023, 024, 028). Aberfoyle is ~20 miles from Bannockburn (Gain Robinson's traditional birthplace) — same Stirlingshire corridor. No documented direct interaction with the Robinson line, but the Robinsons emigrated from this same central Scottish cultural milieu 1715-1720, within 25-30 years of Kirk's manuscript.
