Wendy's Coffeehouse - #1 podcast listens for 2016 = John Perkins

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman/Wiki



Yes, 2016 flew by. Wendy's Coffeehouse shows are archived for listening at your leisure. AudioBoom Link. Great way to cap off the year. 30 shows/1K listens. A magic repeating number: 33.333 

What's with the shows that appear to be shorter? Minus commercials. If you have yet to check one out, start there.


Once again, John Perkins dazzles with New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. When he first went public with his story, he says his daughter assured him she would follow through with disclosure of the information if he was taken out. Really. This is explosive stuff.

Front, center and shadow, shady politics are a key component. Some might find it hard to believe, given the depth of the revelations and the risks involved in publicizing the information, that John is still alive. At least one poisoning incident took a toll on his physical health.


The new/updated version of his story includes additional footnotes, evidence and substantiating documentation. It isn't pretty. Far from a MIB, UFO conspiracy thing, this story underscores and outs the gritty, behind the scenes, in the trenches work of a "shadow" element that follows up to ensure compliance with "business" deals that are, from the outset, incredibly one sided.  

*A link for my other interview with John Perkins - Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio

In a recent blog post, John talks about his work with the Kogi and the latest trip to Columbia that he says might just become a new book. He relates his current focus. He continues to atone for events he got caught up in and could not prevent all those years ago. However, without his knowledge and involvement, the information would not have come to light.Video interview about his recent trip: YouTube Link


Positive but hard challenges lie ahead. John-Perkins-Blog/Message from the Elder Siblings 

Echoing once again, "a message of hope, one that says we can transformer ourselves from societies that adhere to systems that threaten to destroy us to ones that will sustain us and future generations."

Compilation wrap up time for an incredible 2016. For the last show, we sample four shows from the Wendy's Coffeehouse podcast archives. Each offers an example of how, at any given moment, life can deliver an extraordinarily paradigm shift. I had one in 1997.

Amazing things are happening to every day people on our planet. Even a glimpse of those experiences is an opportunity to open a window to a new view and a potential new engagement with reality.

12/24/16 Wendy's Coffeehouse - It's a Wrap! Archives are open 24/7
Wendy's Coffeehouse [Audio Boom/podcast archive] 
 
I selected topics for this final show that highlight transcendence and personal encounters with the unknown.

Overview: 1/Miracle survival and recovery from a near fatal accident delivers a bonus in the after effect: desire and ability to heal others. 2/Close Encounters with UFOs and Unexplained. 3/Animal Communication ability triggered by falling off a horse. 4/Near Death transformation inspires a doctor to become a concert pianist.

These are powerful stories from people who have experienced, in some form, an amazing life calling or redirect. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to connect and to share them.

Background info on each of the four segments is featured in the contact links and the links are also posted for the entire interview segment highlighted by the original date of broadcast on KCMO. 

  • Doug Heyes almost died in a ski accident. 8/13/16, Miracle on the Mountain He recovered and discovered he had also acquired the ability to heal others. Through his book, The Touch/Amazon, he shares some of the wisdom he acquired along the way:

    • "My master Dr. Wu once told me the secret to mastery of qi gong is to keep doing it and doing it and doing it.
    • My Kung Fu Grandmaster Don Baird says it takes ten thousand repetitions of a move to begin to claim mastery of it. Dr. Yuen put it this way: “When we first start doing this work, we do a great deal to achieve minimal results. As we progress, we do less and less to achieve more and more. Finally, as we become masters, we achieve our most dramatic results by doing nothing at all.” Let’s all bow in. It’s time to train." Source: FindhornPressBlog
  • Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Cark is a Story Collector. 9/20/16, UFOs, Sky People and other encounters with the unexplained are the focus and this segment included a very interesting meeting with a man who claimed to have found a way to travel the planet via portal. Still in her vast collection, a few hundred stories waiting to be shared. However, she says her next project is a children's book. 


The potential for extraordinary experience is limitless. Limitless, we are here exploring. As such, one might expect that there is always room for improvement! Indeed, it arrives with each and every upgrade in awareness. Refresh, Restore, Renew and Imagine More.

Best wishes for an extraordinary 2017 and beyond. ~ wendy #wendyscoffeehouse

Terror at the Tree Farm + Holiday news odds-n-ends

Clark: Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa's sleigh on its way in from New York City.
Eddie: [after a pause] You serious, Clark?


Season's Greetings - The Yule tide is high .... Chuckles and humor rolling in ....

And now the kicker - Terror at the Tree farm ...

Of course I had to share it. (Props to Bill Hall/Haunted House Diaries for posting.

Brief Bio: "David provides clearing and metaphysical coaching for individuals. He has over 35 years of experience, the last twelve years focused full time on remote healing as service for businesses and individuals especially problematic real estate.

A gifted intuitive and spiritual healer, he does remote energetic healing work clearing Real Estate, People, Businesses, and Situations. He works on cases involving buildings, land, people, negotiations, legal matters, travel and situations of all kinds."

So many stories and just an hour (less) to explore. I invited David to share his unique viewpoint and to give examples of how our reality might be a bit larger than that which is currently the defined norm. 

We've spoken a few times before. This is one of those links: Conscious Living/EmpowerRadio: Who ya gonna call when the dark forces roll in? Someone who's been there, done that.

What about that time he was working in the psych ward and could see what patients were seeing and doctors couldn't? David underscores, he was on staff and not a patient.

However, the criteria of seeing ghosts and other non-corporeal entities and such as a qualification for mental illness was worthy of additional consideration. David set out to learn more and talks about some of his teachers, including a Cherokee Medicine Man.

He also mentions angels and dragons and fairies. Enjoy.

11/26/16 - The Atlantean Chronicles II - Kip Hartzell and Tom DeHay *updated

“The way our fingers intertwine feels so natural and right; as if our hands hold memories of meeting in a thousand other lifetimes.” -- John Mark Green

Headlines - (*Update: link for the book is now included Atlantean Chronicles Book Two)

11/26/16 - Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast with Kip and Tom/The Atlantean Chronicles: Book Two

*Update: Link for Book Two: Here

This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard and one Kip Hartzell said he never expected to hear from his Dad, a story about living on the space ship Atlantis and how that ship had to leave Earth but well intends to return.


1997. Kip's Dad was dying. Energy fading, waking hours limited, when he asked Kip to take some notes, Kip expected a last will and testament. Not even close.
Book Two in the Trilogy at Smashwords

His father wanted to share what had been an ongoing and interactive memory for him for his entire life. As he drifted into that between state of transition, he transmitted to Kip as much as he could remember and told him to share it. Within hours of completing the final portion of the story, his father died.

Kip now had a pile of collected notes and an idea. He and Tom DeHay work together, both have a couple of decades of experience in the Aviation Industry. Tom has been an avid SciFi reader since he was 10.

Kip handed over his notes to Tom and asked if he would read them and might he have an interest in helping to write a book. Having never written a book, Tom took the notes home and started reading. He also started dreaming about the story...and timelines and characters and writing his first ever science fiction novel. And the story sprang to life anew.

A very big Thank you to Kip's father, wherever you are, for such an incredible timeline reveal and some amazing breadcrumbs to our future. -- A few words from Kip on his father, John Hartzell, Storynet: Author's note.

Dr. Tony Cicoria - Struck by Lightning, Music Savant

“Just because something bears the aspect of the inevitable one should not, therefore, go along willingly with it.” - Philip K. Dick, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

And so it goes, death is not the end of knowing or even an end in general, however it might seem from the vantage point of the living. Fortunately and/or not, we can benefit from some highly credible objective overviews acquired by those who have had a near death experience.


Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast with Dr. Tony Cicoria


OddsnEnds - Headlines  
11/19/16 Wendy's Coffeehouse with Dr. Tony Cicoria - NDE


No waiting in line. Death happens. Near Death Experience is the wildcard, offering a return from an in-between, altered state that illuminates and defines a broader scope on living, giving life greater depth and added dimensions.

The best part about NDE (more info Amazon: Evidence of the Afterlife via NDERF), each engagement is unique. Dr. Tony Cicoria was and is an Orthopedic Surgeon who could not have dreamed the outcome delivered by his NDE. 

Neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote about him in 2007: The New Yorker.
More writing from Oliver Sacks - The New Yorker 
He has several books. Try this one: Musicophilia


Struck by lightning and given a bit of musical inspiration to test his wits and his fortitude, endurance and tenacity produce a concert pianist and music of the spheres. 

Here is Tony performing his Lightning Sonata - no doubt about it - every note, every polychord delivered with divine purpose - and for whatever purpose that might be - each is Heaven sent.
 





Dr. Tony Cicoria, CD Baby - order Notes from an Accidental Pianist and Composer

My first interview with Dr. Cicoria, Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio

Touching on our quantum connections, I kept hearing music when thinking about interviewing him. In looking up the CD, I laughed when I saw the suggestions for similar works. The songs I heard most frequently sounded like Liberace and I had to google to find something.

The dramatic open kept repeating in my head. Hearing the Lightning Sonata, it made perfect sense. Liberace/Rachmaninoff YouTube and Gershwin/Rhapsody in Blue/Liberace

There in the three listening suggestions for similar music was: Rachmaninoff/YouTube Video BBC Symphony Orchestra


In my interviews I have seen a theme, reconciling an NDE is a challenge. Meaning shifts, understanding drifts and new revelations dawn. No matter the case, each story provides a window of awareness into an exotic and ever-nearing realm some might remember as home.

I am so glad Dr. Cicoria was prodded by Dr. Sacks to give his music a space to be heard. Someone here will experience a life changing result in the listening! The magic is in the combination of the keys.  



Near Death Researcher Kenneth Ring: New York Times: You never recover your original self
 

-"After having a near-death experience, people believe the end of life isn't; they believe in some sort of life after death. Death vanishes for them. There's only life. They are so aware of what life is. One man said, ''I finally knew what it was like to be really alive.''

Eben Alexander - The Map of Heaven and Proof of Heaven - the NDE that changed everything

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?” - D.T. Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture


Wendy's Coffeehouse - with Eben Alexander 11/12/16 Podcast


OddsnEnds - 

Eben Alexander legitimized the NDE experience when he went public with his story and that story continues to evolve.  Interview - Wendy's Coffeehouse - with Eben Alexander 11/12/16
Map of Heaven

Over the years, I have explored many of the hundreds of NDE stories on this site: NDERF.

There is a major difference between those experiences and this one: During the time of his event, Dr. Eben Alexander was hooked up to clusters of tubes and medical instruments that monitored every bodily function and non-function.

During his NDE, his body was diligently mapping the story while the mind and consciousness were engaged elsewhere.

Even more important to his experience is a detail that offers more insight. As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Alexander didn't believe in such things.

Shortly after I interviewed Eben Alexander on his first book, Proof of Heaven (Conscious Living/Empower Radio 2012), he appeared on Oprah and then took some major heat from a writer who tried, unsuccessfully, to discredit him. Details here: IANDS.

Although not the intent, that article, when analyzed and vetted, corroborated and added credence to Eben's story. 

Still enthusiastic and driven to share the details and encourage any who have doubt about an afterlife to be open to exploring their own knowing and if possible, expand that knowing through meditation.

Music is a key element in his effort to enable that expansion process. He heard music during his NDE and is now incorporating a type of sound designed to enhance the meditation and relaxation state. He recommends Sacred Acoustics.

Meet Dr. Alexander - video presentation on YouTube

 

Transformed by death. Living became much fuller and more purposeful. This newest book: Map of Heaven offers a bit of science of consciousness and stories others have shared with him.

For his story, read the first book: Proof of Heaven or view the recap of the NDE on his site: My Experience in Coma.

Animals, Healers and Communicators

You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order. - Bernie Siegel

  • Animal news viral this week: (The Dodo) Cecilia the Chimp has been awarded the right to live in better conditions. The judge said: "We're not talking about the civil rights enshrined in the Civil Code," she told the journal Los Andes, "but instead the species' own rights: to development, to life in their natural habitat." More info: The Great Ape Project.

With that timely piece, I am sharing two interviews for animal lovers. Amelia Kinkade is in CA and a 4 am wake up call was out of the question so she's on Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio in the archives as of 11/9/16. My Bernie Siegel interview is also in the archives. The two happen to be friends so the combo is a perfect compliment.

Love, Medicine & Miracles was my first introduction to Dr. Bernie Siegel.

Showcasing mind, body, spirit self-healing rather than pharmacological methods, he highlighted stories that focused on stimulating the immune response to boost healing.

(Interviewed him for that book when it came out -- years ago. Didn't keep an audio demo.)
  
Thrilled when I learned he had expanded the healing arsenal to incorporate work with animals: Love, Animals & Miracles, here is our interview on Empower Radio - Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett/Bernie Siegel

Bernie holds Animal Communicator Amelia Kinkade in high regard and recommends her on his site. If you are interested in pursing a more intimate connection with your animal relations, she offers easy to follow guidelines and instruction.

I recently interviewed Amelia Kinkade on Empower Radio Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett. Amelia travels the world sharing her insight on how to connect with animals and she has a star-studded list of references.

"Her unique abilities have been the focus of hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles world-wide including The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, ABC News, The Boston North Shore Sunday, The London Sunday News of The World, Good Housekeeping, Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy, New Woman in England, Bilt de Frau in Germany, Annabelle in Switzerland, and the cover of the Freitseit Kurier in Vienna. Miss Kinkade has appeared on television programs such as The View, The Other Half, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Extra, VH1, Jenny Jones, The BBC News, Carte Blanche in South Africa, and numerous news broadcasts in the US, Europe, and Australia."

Author of several books, her newest book and the focus of our interview is Whispers from the Wild.

Meet Amelia and hear her share her story about healing animals -



In our interview, we spoke about some of her incredible encounters with wildlife; Elephants and a Black Mamba Snake, and a unique approach she used to help her aunt (Rue McClanahan) recover from a stroke. All detailed in her book.

We are learning so much when it comes to the extraordinary abilities of animals to communicate within their own communities and - when we take the time to learn how to relate to them on their terms - how we can better communicate and understand them.

11/5/16 Penny Kelly and the Kundalini mindshift that rivals #DrStrange

Does anybody really know what time it is?

“Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.”
  - Philip K. Dick

10/29/16 - Sighting UFOs with Stan Seba - Kansas MUFON


“Stars, too, were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize we were alone? I had always known the sky was full of mysteries—but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.”
  - Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

10/29/16 - Wendy's Coffeehouse Guest - Stan Seba - Kansas MUFON Podcast

Stan mentioned a fascinating case from Oak Hill, KS. Some rather unique circumstances provided an unintended backdrop for this sighting. The photographer was trying to get a decent photo of lightning. He got that with a little something extra. Stan forwarded the image and specs on the app from Kansas MUFON files. The black spot in the center of the photo isn't dirt.
 
UFO - Oak Hill, Kansas 2015, Image provided by Kansas MUFON
 "This picture was taken in May of 2015 with a smartphone app
called “Lightening Camera” published by ‘Pluto Applications.’ 
It is available for android and apple smartphone/tablet operating systems.

Unknown object, according to Dr. Bruce S. Maccabee, Ph,D .
This same witness has submitted other photos taken with this app
of objects that we are currently investigating." - Stan Seba, Mufon KS.

I asked Stan about one of the more highly publicized UFO encounters in the Kansas archives. The case is from Delphos, KS. Stan says from all of the research behind the scenes and in the archives, this case is legit. Video from YouTube tells the story. Related Info from EarthMysteryNews

Oh, the reason I didn't think much of my photo of the "star" UFO - or reporting it to MUFON is because it just looks like a tiny speck.

However, the telepathic prompt to step outside and look and then to have my husband ask me if I had seen whatever it was above the house. It is what it is. And it stayed there for about half an hour after he told me, allowing me to at least attempt a photo capture. Curious. Blog post and image
