Random thoughts and random links - Paranormal and miscellaneous

Thinking you have to read all the unread books on your shelves before buying new ones is like thinking a wine connoisseur should drink everything in their cellar before buying any new bottles. Some books just need a bit of shelf-time before they (/you) are ready. - Shakespeare & Company via Twitter.

All thought is telepathic, whether in the conscious, subconscious, or supraconscious realms. It is impossible to shield our thoughts/beliefs against their radiating outwards since, “all that is” is definitely interconnected in manifold forms, ways, and byways.

“The biographies of many great men contain surprising references to supernatural experiences and brushes with the cosmic consciousness.” - John Keel.

Source: 6 Degrees of John Keel Blog. Written by Barbara Fisher. From a DVD of John Keel giving a lecture at a FortFest in the 1990’s where he describes watching from a hilltop on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River, as boatmen flashed their bright lights up into the sky at the strange lights that were skittering about.

He describes how the lights would dash away from the beams of the boat’s lights. Then, Keel tells how he used his own powerful flashlight to signal the aerial lights, in Morse code, telling them to flash, or descend or ascend, and they would do as requested. Which gave him pause. use.

They either knew Morse code, or were reading his mind. In order to see which possibility was correct, he made up his own code on the spot, and signaled them—and the lights reacted appropriately.

The decoder algorithm was able to explain the plot of a silent movie that the research subjects were watching wile in the fMRI scanner. Then they were asked to make up a story in their minds and the decoder was able to retell it.

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. - Håkan 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!

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

OddsnEnds -

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.
