  • Memory assist. According to Dr. Robert Hampson, a professor at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the lead author of the study, the method they used to artificially boost the short-term memory performance of study participants is something that has never been done before. “This is the first time scientists have been able to identify a patient’s own brain cell code or pattern for memory and, in essence, ‘write in’ that code to make existing memory work better,” he explained, “an important first step in potentially restoring memory loss.” Science Daily

Another Jeffrey Mishlove interview with John Alexander. In this interview, John details a personal encounter with a UFO and an instance where his wife Victoria was possessed by an entity during a shamanic ceremony in Brazil.

Bigfoot, UFOs, PSI, Near-Death Experiences, Remote Viewing and more. I interviewed John about his book, Reality Denied


When you visit John's website, you'll see photos of some of the exotic locations John and Victoria have visited. While John is there to document the happenings and report the science that might be part of the equation, Victoria's intuitive and empathic skills allow her to surrender to the flow of the scene and engage as an experiencer.

She doesn't usually do interviews and I am very glad she chose to do this one. In addition to having access to places not usually visited by or open to Western tourists, her unique perspective provides an important context for anyone interested in the behind the scenes of an authentic, indigenous shamanic ceremony. On occasion, she has even been invited to return as an honored guest and participant.

An interesting encounter we touch on briefly in our interview is a visit to the Ark of the Covenant. John had already gone ahead but Victoria, being curious, was lingering when - right place, right time - she was asked if she wanted to meet one of the Monks responsible for guarding the Ark, a rare encounter. To understand how truly special that encounter was, read: Smithsonian. The monks are usually inaccessible to the general public.

Also, extremely familiar with the Ayahuasca culture, Victoria helps facilitate meetings with Ron Wheelock. Interviewed 5/6  She counsels neophytes who are interested in or planning on experiencing the Ayahuasca ritual. Ayahuasceros regard the plant as a sentient, intelligent being, that connects them to the natural world and imparts ancient wisdom, through ceremony, the consciousness of plants.

Ron said a visit to the Amazon turned into "love at first sight". That was two decades ago. Now "The Gringo Shaman", Ron is featured in "This is Life with Lisa Ling" ... Previous post

Booming Ayahuasca Tourism has created competition and fanned the numbers of Shaman offering Ayahuasca encounters. A serious mistake is to not research in advance to understand exactly what is involved in an Ayahuasca experience and how to prepare. Ron Wheelock's retreat is named El Purguero for a reason. For information about Ron's retreats, contact Victoria: victoria.alexander.lv @gmail.com

Another interest we don't have time to explore, Victoria is an avid film buff. Her reviews are on Rotten Tomatoes and at Films in Review.

Victoria and John will be at the upcoming SSE and IRVA joint conference in June. Check out the list of presenters for excellent resources and material for further study. Information.

Altered states and the Ayahuasca journey of a Gringo Shaman

Previous guest John Alexander included fascinating details about his encounters with Shamans from around the world. John and his wife Victoria connected with The Gringo Shaman - Ron Wheelock. Through Victoria, I spoke with Ron to arrange our upcoming interview.

Here's a preview of Ron.


Referencing Reality Denied, John covers numerous encounters that defy explanation. One visit with a medium, well-known for her practice of table tipping (levitation), made a lasting impression. While the medium was unforgettable, details of the session faded. He says he wishes he had taken notes.

Life is like that. It happens in the details. Sometimes there are notes.

In prepping for the interview with Ron and to help integrate some of the crystal energy I started working with after our trip to Board Camp Crystal Mine, I scheduled an isolation float. (Floating KC)

About halfway into the session, there was an auditory cue, a short, staccato whistle. By that time I had slipped into an extremely relaxed state, almost to the point of dozing off. Improbable as it might seem, that sound was right next to me.

Alert and anticipating a follow up, the tapping started, a steady, rhythmic flow. As I counted the taps, I tried to rationalize that I could be hearing water dripping somewhere then opted to simply allow the process and stop putting energy into denial. 

The sound lead me into deeper trance state. That is when the visions started. Beautiful images of eyes. They morphed and changed colors. Yellows, greens, dark and deep hues of raspberry and vivid reds. The eyes blinked. Each was a reptile of some sort. Turtle, lizard, frog, snake. The snake was representational and carried the message. Interactive and engaging, information was given. The visions stopped and the tapping sound ended. I left exhilarated, grounded and refreshed.

Since my STE in 1997, I have had extraordinary visions and dreams. Some are spontaneous. Others accompany the regular practice of meditating to access insight. I haven't required a psychotropic assist. However, I have spoken with others who affirm they could never have realized a liberating mind state without it. Each travels his own path.

Ron Wheelock, based in Peru, is from Independence Kansas. Thus the name, The Gringo Shaman. Taking a circuitous route, he has embodied his healing role for 25 years. In this interview, Ron describes some of the unique aspects of various Ayahuasca sessions.

After my float session, I discovered another video with Ron that I hadn't seen. DMT and the Spirit of Plants. He mentions, frogs, lizards and snakes. I believe in dots connecting. The purpose is self-revealing - and the symbolism with animal messengers is personal. Fascinating.

Interview with John Alexander, so much material to explore we could barely scratch the surface. No problem. Cue Jeffrey Mishlove, who offers several interviews with John, covering a broad range of topics, including Remote Viewing and his books.



John Alexander is no stranger to the exotic, unusual and unexplained. A life-long explorer and experiencer of extraordinary consciousness research, metaphysics, energy medicine, paranormal and unexplained. His diverse background includes 32 years in the military (background), where he had access to and expertise in information that would otherwise be off limits to the general population.

Notable experiences include Silva Mind Control, Akido, researching interspecies communication and teaching psychokinesis. A world traveler, he has met healers and shamans in Peru, Tibet, Nepal (and elsewhere) and studied with Curanderos in South America. That is a very abbreviated list. More info on his website. Bio.

"Dr. Alexander 'calls it as he sees it' and has little use for conspiracy theorists, true believers who take in everything without questioning, or scoffers who refuse to accept facts no matter how persuasive. For nine years he served as a councilor for the Society for Scientific Exploration is a past president of the International Association for Near Death Studies, and a founding board member of the International Remote Viewer's Association."

The SSE and IRVA are holding a joint conference in June. If you have even the slightest interest in the subject matter, presenters and attendees offer excellent resources and material for further study. Information.

Suggested reading - 3 by John Alexander
1/UFOs: Myths Conspiracies, and Realities - Alexander succeeds in separating solid facts and credible witnesses from the myths and conspiracy theorists. Determining that UFOs, while real, are beyond current comprehension, he sees the extraterrestrial hypothesis as too narrow. UFOs remain an enigma, he concludes, since every time we think we have an answer, new observations make the problem more complex.
2/Reality Denied - UFO, Bigfoot, Healing, NDE, OBE, Voodoo, Poltergeists, Mediums, Ayahuasca, Fire walking, Dowsing, Spoon-bending, Shamanic Rituals. Alexander leaves no stone unturned.
3/The Warrior's Edge - Partial Amazon Review: Fascinating. By - a customer on September 5, 1999. This book was the first to reveal some experimental work in the field of "Enhancing Human Performance" carried out by the US military and intelligence community. A significant core of the book, for me, was the previously classified material on "The Jedi Project", which utilized NLP and similar advanced learning technologies to train soldiers in pistol shooting, with dramatic results.

Includes bizarre encounters at Skinwalker Ranch, being pushed by a Poltergeist, interspecies communication and witnessing healing sessions with John of God.

Such a short time to explore the stories. It's safe to say we only cover a fraction of the content he details in the book! True accounts. Outstanding variety and an exceptional overview of paranormal, metaphysics and unexplained phenomena. Experience changes everything.

SciXFriday - Mystery and anomaly in the dots connecting

"You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go, well... anywhere at all." - Stephen King

And so it is. One of the most memorable days for me was the time we stepped out and everything had shifted. I was given a telepathic prompt that this would be the case and not to telegraph that our experience was unusual. It was during that time I saw people with horns and tails. I later discovered and interviewed another person who experienced something similar: Jonas Elrod. HuffPo

From that time forward, I opted to steer clear of those people. It isn't a thing one can easily forget. - The explanation given was they were focused on material things and that colored their view and influenced their appearance on the spirit plane. It was highly disconcerting.

Back to the extraordinary in relationship to UFO experiences. 

I found a fascinating conversation posted on Facebook. UFOs, Spoonbending, Firewalking, Ghosts, Little People. John Alexander talks about his book Reality Denied, Anomalist Books

John talks about Experiencer Christopher Bledsoe. Strange things are happening. We have no explanation for these events. They simply challenge us to reframe our beliefs and expand the known. It's a transformative process, unique to each and every one who has these encounters. We are living in an amazing time. Chris tells his story on YouTube
