“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?

"The dissatisfaction of the masses is not based on economic deprivation but on a sense of ineffectuality. Not an increased standard of living, but more social power, is their fundamental goal. Because of their emotional orientation, they arise and act when a powerful leader-figure can coordinate them into a functioning unit rather than a chaotic mass of unformed elements." - Philip K.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast Archives: Sandra Martin 2/19/17 Snapshots, Memories & Recipes is a collection of stories from retired A-List Literary Agent, Sandra Martin. Doesn't hurt that your mouth waters when you read the recipes. She was active in the early stages when topics covering metaphysical, paranormal, psychic, mediums, alternative healing, true ghost stories and the like (that eventually became New Age) were trying to find a niche. Topics I am very familiar with and have been living, reading and exploring for much of my life. I was excited to talk with her about her experiences. Names were dropped. 1/Ingo Swann and (derailed) dinner party caper. 2/John Cleese and hands on healing in a crowded restaurant. Those stories are included in the interview. One that we didn't cover is a fascinatin...

"Fear creates dragons out of mice. Own your knowing and mind your creations." - Talking to Nightlights October 2017, Blade Runner 2049 - Trailer Playing with SciFi and potential Timelines. We are our own worst nightmare when we allow fear to guide our path. Letting go of that element allows a view of reality where options are presented without the taint of a dreaded projection. Projection is the active word. Project: No fear. What is - exists with purpose. Allow that your perfect present offers an opportunity to upgrade your awareness if you so choose. That perfect present is given to you in full confidence in your ability to accept this scenario as a challenge that requires acceptance of an all-that-is that has only your best interest at heart.

Chance is your friend. NO thi...

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." - *attributed to Carl Sagan Years ago, I interviewed Carl Sagan about his book Pale Blue Dot . That interview, as it turns out, was shortly before he died. I was nervous about my ability to effectively present the subject matter and intimidated because of my enormous respect for the guest. He was gracious and articulate. I have no idea what I asked but I remember I was very curious to know his thoughts on his book: Contact Another quote from Sagan, one that inspires continued exploration of space wonders beyond knowing and (for me) the extraordinary PSI stuff begging further investigation:  "At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes—an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense." - The Demon...
