Interview with Brent Raynes - Wendy's Coffeehouse [link]
Publisher, editor of Alternate Perceptions Magazine. Featured articles and interviews cover a wide range of topics including Fortean, Paranormal and Metaphysics.

John Keel was a source of inspiration for Brent at a young age. He was fortunate to connect. John became a mentor. He has authored two other books on Fortean topics, On the Edge of Reality: Dreamweavers and Visitors from Hidden Realms.  In the most recent book, John Keel: The Man, The Myths, and the Ongoing Mysteries, he wanted to share insight from others who had been influenced by Keel and some of his own findings from interviewing experiencers. 

Amazon Review: "Keel was an intellectual challenge to the UFO community of the 1960s and 70s with his brilliant criticism of the then dominant ET theory. Finally we have an in-depth biography of this legendary pioneer.

As longtime researcher, author and editor of Alternate Perceptions magazine Brent Raynes is eminently qualified for this task. John A. Keel: The Man, Myths and Mysteries is more than an ordinary biography as the author present a treasure trove of new data, experiences and interviews all relating to Keel and his ideas. This work is an important contribution to the genre and will surely become a classic in the annals of UFO history.HÃ¥kan Blomqvist, Librarian and co-founder of AFU

Brent with his Peruvian whistles.
A fascinating part of our conversation concerns Peruvian whistles.

Brent has a collection. He shares what has happened to some people when listening to them. 

This display (YouTube) features several styles and the sounds are unique.

The artist is Jose Vitancio Umeres.
His channel features several videos
with demonstrations of the different instruments. Link. 
Clearly, each represents a special energy and character.

I asked Brent if he could provide any background that might be helpful relating to the topics we covered. 

He replied and shared a link. "Here's a link to a Reality Checking column I wrote in the November 2015 Alternate Perceptions, soon after returning from the Mothman Festival [which is where it starts out] but ends with details of the Peruvian whistling vessels and Bret Oldham's video testimony I mentioned, along with the artwork Betty Andreasson Luca did of her vision that I mentioned as well." Link.

There is also a kicker and incentive to post an additional segment. Brent has some John Keel EVPs. There is one sample in the show and it clearly says "John Keel" but Brent also shared a few others for me to post. I have another break to add for those. To be continued... 

Brent's interview with Clas Svahn, Swedish journalist and UFO researcher includes the Little Elf Man sighting. Feb 2021

One more testimonial for Brent's book: "John Keel was a rich and complex character and Brent captures him perfectly. What a gift for all John Keel fans and for those who will be introduced to him by this book." - Sandra Martin, Keel's former literary agent.

The dream 2/5/21 - I am staring at the sky outside and listening to weather reports talking about the storm. I see sections of blue but the clouds are very active and beautiful. We seem to be on the edge and won't get hit with the full measure of the storm.

The clouds keep billowing, writhing and rolling in the strong winds up above but now I see fog approaching and wafting toward me. I watch in curiosity as it separates into individual clouds that then morph into five identical Elephants.

They are standing there and motionless for a brief moment. I want to take their picture but don't have time to do anything but watch. As I do, they turn in unison and walk off, single file into the mist. I am astounded. It was intentional. What is it I have seen. I have been given a gift. What is the insight?

And that was it. Even in the dream I wanted to remember it so I could write it down and work with the symbolism. And so I have a new present to unpack.

Cheers!

  • Start with Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO, David Halperin (Stanford University Press) "Halperin’s basic premise is that, while UFOs aren’t real, UFO sightings
    inarguably are, and that’s worth studying." IndyWeek.
  • Now reconcile that with this. Alternate Perceptions magazine. Brent Raynes and Part two of the Denise Slater interview. Part one is in the April 2006 edition. Originally from Brazil, Denise is the granddaughter of famed Brazilian General Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa: "I don't believe that UFOs are real. I know they are." AP Magazine.

    An excerpt from one of the UFO close encounter stories, Denise Slater:
    We all held our hands looking up in the sky. He was in deep concentration because he was a telepathic channel. I don’t know when his telepathic channel was opened and how it was opened, so that he could communicate with them. This time they did tell us what they were doing there.

    They told him, and he would speak these words out loud for us, what they were saying to him. They said that this was a demonstration, “for these youngsters, of our presence here.” “We mean no harm. We are scientists....studying this planet. ...We wanted to show our presence for this young group for them to register that we are here, and we are here to protect the planet from man himself, because man has developed weapons of destruction that could destroy the planet.”

    We think they were referring to atomic bombs. “And we are here to observe so that would not create a systemic problem, for the solar system. If the earth blows up with these bombs built by man it will affect the solar system. It would eventually affect us.” Continue reading for an incredible account of healing. Continued at link.

He was wearing a peaked hat (brown) and a shiny jacket and trousers in shades of brown and ochre. I'd say he was about twelve to fourteen inches tall. ....

Consciousness is the common denominator for any and all of our experiences. So many questions to explore. Rather than why (does this happen?), a more efficient use of energy and focus is to ask how (is this possible?).

If we are working a problem and seeking answers or clues (insight in some form), the most efficient use of energy is to go with the flow. No presupposing. Unknowns require a blank slate and an intuitive allowing. Opening to creative imagery and imagination yields to the unexpected and novelty. There is the possibility to receive information/answers we could not anticipate.

  • Interview with Jacques Vallee: "I think we’re a long way from understanding this phenomenon, and the only way we’re going to understand it is to stop talking to each other, and go back and talk to the witnesses. That’s what I wanted to do, and I wanted to do it first-hand. I wanted to be able to go to the site, meet the witnesses, and monitor what was happening over a certain period of time." Our Strange Planet.

    An experiencer he interviewed is the subject of the film Witness of Another World.
    Yet another story offering more evidence that whatever is happening in regard to UFOs, the stories are unique and require investigation and follow up beyond the initial Q & A. Experiencers are changed.
  • And then there's this. Research on DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine). "Encounters felt more "real" than reality. This was true for 81 percent of respondents during the encounter, and 65 percent after the encounter." Big Think
# # #

How do we know what is real here? My reality has paranormal quirks and interactive nightlights each and every day. So - it might be that "reality" is different for each of us and we don't know that without asking questions. Lots of questions.

Stay curious.
Be well.

Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Magazine 9/24/17 - In pursuit of all things curious

"I abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis in 1967, when my own field investigations disclosed an astonishing overlap between psychic phenomena and UFOs," Keel wrote. "The objects and apparitions do not necessarily originate on another planet and may not even exist as permanent constructions of matter. It is more likely that we see what we want to see and interpret such visions according to our contemporary beliefs." - John Keel, Obituary/Telegraph



Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Brent Raynes

Sci-Fi Fans have a lot to choose from on the small screen - 
  • Star Trek Discovery - an experiment in streaming CBS All Access
  • The Orville - Fox 
  • People of Earth - TBS
  • Dr. Who - BBC 
  • Big Screen/Blade Runner 2049  Main site 
  • Syfy tripping through time - a list of 25 - popcorn friendly big and small screen.

Brent Raynes edits the Web Zine - Alternate Perceptions Magazine and is the author of  Visitors From Hidden Realms (2004) (Excerpted on this blog site from a reader who has her own story to add) and On The Edge of Reality (2009).

He is currently working on a third book tentatively titled UFOs, Monsters, Miracles, and Jadoo, an exploration of the life and pioneering research and investigations of journalist John A. Keel – a man he corresponded with beginning in 1969, and whose pioneering work in this field had a considerable influence and impact on the evolution of his own involvement in such mysterious and complex matters, as well it did for many other people."

Brent posted about a UFO case in Costa Rica - involving a UFO that was tracked underwater. Leslie Kean included that case in a HuffPost article on the Chilean Navy UFO videos. Here is the Aquadilla document pdf she referenced.



Who is/was John Keel? Author of the Mothman Prophecies and Paranormal investigator. A memorial Fan site is current. This is his Bio on that site. Another Bio on Wiki

And the Mothman Movie - Review Roger Ebert

About those John Keel EVPS? - this post addresses even more of that phenomenon: APMagazine - Reality Checking from March 2017

Other articles to check out:
  • The Collins elite - UFOs, Paranormal and Plasma - by Dr. Greg Little 
  • Brent Raynes on Reality Checking - a nice mix of odd and unusual.
  • And the last Reality Checking post - is one I refer to that addresses UFOs and barium clouds. Interesting to note the possibility of a connection to military experiments. The colors were interesting to me. Red and greens are mentioned and that has my attention.

My 2013 bedroom encounter with a red and green lighted dinner-plate sized UFO rules out the barium cloud aspect.

What is going on here? So many questions and not enough of the big picture to provide a clear view.  There is a larger playing field to examine and the key is to allow that - for all that we "know" - mapping this terrain requires the ability to expand one's awareness in a way that allows for knowing m-o-r-e beyond the linear POV.

A tease to explore. Here's a record of Kansas UFO sightings.

Garnet Schulhauser and Spirit Guide Albert Surf the Astral Plane

"Call it Magick because that's exactly what creativity is. It's the ability to cause change in accordance with WILL." - Weschcke/Slate - Self Empowerment and your Subconscious Mind

Links: odds, offbeat and UFO curious

Have personal encounters with unexplained piqued your curiosity? A unique manifestation in physical being, blending body and source, each has his own story, unified and unfolding in consciousness knowing, recognized and not. After a lifetime, experiences, details, impact, relevance, perspective and highlights begin to blend, merge, coalesce.

Journaling our perceived anomalies in process helps to retain the flow and chart patterns and progress. When shared, there is some assurance these experiences are a natural aspect of being human rather than indicating oddity or unhealthy disposition. As such, we are more likely to uncover a commonality threaded within each and every riddle of unexplained. Only in mapping this fantastic seemingly abstract territory can we discover how far the mind can flow.

Intrigued? Follow Altered Perceptions Magazine for a mix of unknown, unexplained, thought provoking and fantastical. Mind expanding stories to grow by.

Sample, July 2017: It Is What It Is. ….But What The Heck Is it??

"Soon the experience unfolded with a new and very unusual addition. It looked like hundreds of small marble sized, white glowing, pulsating and translucent balls of light swirling down from up around the ceiling of the hallway. Those lights kept swirling downward and eventually appeared to concentrate in a mass near the floor (a mass that resembled a small four legged animal), around the lower right portion of the doorway. Then I found myself instantly laying in bed, on my back, looking up at the bedroom ceiling!" - Publisher and Editor Brent Raynes  Read more

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast Archives - Garnet Schulhauser and spirit guide Albert / Book 4

Garnet Schulhauser's Spirit Guide showed up as a homeless man in the flesh. Said his name was Albert and he wanted to show him a few things. Albert kept the flesh package for three encounters then shifted to non-physical and Garnet's journey began. Could you ignore a reality shift this bold?


Video Interview with Garnett - UFOHub/YouTube



UFOHUB.net YouTube
OZARK MOUNTAIN TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE

The video (from 2016) mentions 3 books. Book 4 is now available: Link

Garnet asked Albert why he showed up as a physical being first. Albert said he wanted to ease him into the concept and not frighten him or cause him to think he was delusional.

Garnet on YouTube
Good plan. Four books later, the adventure spans conversations with enlightened beings, meetings with magical creatures and travels to other dimensions and other galaxies.

Garnet was still practicing law when the encounters started. He kept mum about the whole thing until after stepping away from his career. Even kept it from his wife. He's past that now and sharing the story simply to offer the perspective that we can have help from spirit companions and our efforts to work for a greater cause do make a difference.

Albert is adamant that more higher consciousness focus is needed at this time to avert global environmental crisis.
