Wendy's Coffeehouse Archives - upcoming interview:

Alien Influence? John Foster's Extraordinary 4 decades Contactee experience suggests humans are being groomed for upcoming events - whether they know it or not. Previous Post.

*2/9 Interview - KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM, 8 pm.  John Foster UFOs. We learn they don't show themselves to everyone. They are here and working a program behind the scenes. They showed him future scenarios that are today coming to pass with the influx of immigrants from Central America.

The purpose might be to help prevent us from offing ourselves and the planet. John's story is astounding. An engineer, he has detailed drawings of the craft and the life forms. They often appeared out of mist, fog and clouds.

*There is an hour long interview already posted in the Wendy's Coffeehouse Archives. Link. The 2/9 interview is shorter to allow for commercials and news during the broadcast. However, there is also some additional information not included in the earlier segment.

What counts as proof of contact/abduction? Former lawyer Terry Lovelace (65) -

"...says his cell phone was in his pocket last April when he was abducted from his bed and taken aboard a craft over his home in Dallas, Texas. The images from his health and activity phone app show a vertical line which demonstrates the phone moved 60 feet upward in less than a minute. Later, Terry woke up traumatized, thinking he'd had a heart attack."

“Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.” - David Searls

PMH Atwater is a prolific writer on the After Death/Near Death Experience. Also a near death experiencer, had her first NDE in 1977 and started her studies in 1978.

An international authority on near-death states, the author of more than a dozen books (and counting). Her writings have also appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers. She has lectured twice at the United Nations. Source

Dying to Know You, Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience covers an essential aspect that goes hand in hand with the NDE event, what happens afterward:

"More than an otherworldly journey, travelogue or light show, the phenomenon consists of two parts: the experience and the aftereffects." - PMH Atwater, Edge Magazine

Here she describes her personal NDEs - three of them:



So many stories, so much to explore and experience. Near death experiences for most are life changing. What does it mean? Is there a purpose? The research continues.

Near death experiencers are often changed so much that even their closest companions say something is very different. Electrical sensitivity, dietary changes, low blood pressure, waking up at 3 am are the short list of the new anomalous elements.

Stories in the book include the young girl who survived the Joplin tornado KTTS and remembered the Butterfly People that several children survivors reported seeing that day.

PMH highly recommends the book she wrote: To Heaven after the Storm, by Ari Hallmark
 
And then there is a car accident victim who showed up at a nearby residence to get help for his broken body. The resident later told police he saw jumping fog at his window and the fog told him to call the police and report an accident.     

We also talk about the Russian dissident who woke up after three days in the morgue freezer - during his own autopsy. George Rodonaia background. Recounting his story on YouTube

Sandra Martin, Snapshots: Memories and Recipes

“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard 


Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast Archives  Sandra Martin Interview 


Unusual, Offbeat, Odd and Otherwise - 

• Newly discovered essay - Winston Churchill believed in Extraterrestrials AOL
• 20 year Anniversary of the Phoenix Lights event. Witnesses ponder memory loss. Express
• Woman says a ghost scares off her boyfriends, among other things. Daily Mail
• Joey the Squirrel is the best guard dog - NYPost
• Woolly Mammoth slated for comeback. Telegraph
• Coolest Science post of the week. A startled Honeybee says "Whoop"... audio at IFLScience
• Google Street view wows - new sights include Africa

Contactees sometimes have a hard time conveying their encounters when the evidence is lacking. However, this experiencer has an edge. A successful artist, Robert Llimos provides an incredible perspective with his colorful and detailed recreations of those he interacted with. The ETs he sculpts and paints are beautiful and quite obviously not of this planet. He is sharing his work and their images in hopes of reducing fear in anticipation of eventual contact.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast Archives - Link for Sandra Martin Interview 

In Snapshots: Memories and Recipes, Sandra Martin, former A-list Literary Agent, offers up a mix of unusual, unexplained and unexpected in her recollections of working with clients and hob-nobbing with celebs over book deals. Recipes embellish each re-telling. (Orange Chiffon Cake looks divine!)

You may recognize some of her award winning work here too: Paraview Productions
  
Intuition, PSI, Remote Viewing, Conspiracy, Life after Death, Mediumship and Consciousness started finding a home under the "New Age" umbrella as the category was beginning to emerge.

Sandra Martin arrived on the scene and that category exploded.

There are plenty of star names to draw from to make the point but the book is also about Sandra's journey; how the reluctant "Literary Agent" stepped up to the plate as a favor for a friend and knocked "New Age" out of the "woo-woo" park and smack into mainstream.


Names you might recognize: Jim Marrs and John Cleese. Sandra gets a thank you in Remote Viewers by Jim Schnable and David Morehouse credits Sandra in the open of his book, Lethal Weapons: War Without Death.

(In the interview, we talk about  a dinner party with Ingo Swann that didn't go quite the way it was planned.)

Other names in passing: Richard Bach (Newsletter is active this link is the Blog),  Glenn Close now getting accolades on Broadway. Link is to a fabulous review on The Daily Beast. Danny Glover (actor, author, activist: his twitter link) and one Leprechaun who will most likely prefer to remain anonymous. Read the book: Snapshots.

One more thing: Jonathan Livingston Seagull Part 4 Why not now?

"When the book was written, it had four parts, not three. I wondered, then, why I had written the last part. It was simply not required in the world of that time, there was no force, no pressure then that bound individuals into controlled groups." ...   

In the works, a Jonathan Livingston Seagull interactive book...
