“The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own
reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates
the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of
reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this
mystery each day.

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into

Interesting side note, I did two interviews with Penny Kelly and she talked about a big upheaval in January of 2017 connected to the president. I think she only offers details on that topic in the Empower Radio interview, linked below.
In the KCMO interview, Penny Kelly shares her extraordinary experience of Kundalini Awakening and an encounter with the "Men in Robes". She relates a fascinating ability of being able to enter into two states of consciousness at the same time. Explore: Volume One of her book on Consciousness
PS: She knows what you're thinking.
She also talked about taking her mother to the "other side" in preparation for her transition in hopes of easing the fear and giving her a preview of life after death. After the experience with her mom, she says she started "ferrying people over to the other side."
Explore more of this topic with Penny Kelly - we talk about how incredibly powerful we are when we focus our thoughts on intentional manifesting. New Consciousness with Penny Kelly: Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio.
Note: At 51:00, Penny mentions an exercise she did that involved looking into the future. That's where she mentions the person - whomever happened to be elected as president in 2017 - "getting run out of Washington on a rail"... Is it a prophecy or was it a metaphor of some kind?

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.

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.
"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.

Prods, pokes and tugging of hair, a few notable reminders that, beyond
that seeing thing, spirits have other ways of making their presence
known.
Included on the Weston Ghosts Tour this year is Weston Bend Candle Company. Haunting ambiance in abundance, this Weston retail space houses deliciously fragrant wax creations, a resident
pillow warmer in the form of one well nourished and very hug-able black cat and more
than a few unpredictable spirits.
New in their corner store location, the owners say they hadn't experienced ghosts in the former middle-of-the-block space and certainly didn't expect them here. But, here they are. Although it took a few encounters for everyone to be convinced, eventually, even the doubters were on board.
All can now attest that the space has residents of the unseen variety. Fortunately, that is exactly what visiting Ghost tourists want to hear - and experience - should the opportunity present itself.
Celebrating Halloween in a town where the haunts are not limited to a single season is certainly interesting, given the added potential for an up-close and personal encounter.
Verna's Dinner Theater Productions - Ghost Tales of Weston and the Ghost Walk, presented by members of the Weston Community Theater is an annual event. This year the three nights were sold out by October 12th.
It has been mentioned that another night might be added to next year's schedule. To avoid missing out, book early. Or, there now is another alternative if you missed out or if you can't make the trip.
A new book is available that includes several stories of some well known past and ongoing Weston ghost encounters. Ghost Tales of Weston by Verna Kowerts, is available for purchase online and on site at Weston Main Street Galleria.

In the interview, Ardy shares a story about Tom, a "traveler," who says there are portals across the world that form a highway of sorts. Step in? Only if I knew I could return.
Ardy says she met another man who told her he's been watching arrivals and departures at a certain location. He notes the date, time and details about the person in his journal and whether they returned or not. He says one who didn't return was a woman in a red dress. He watched her walk to the spot, throw her arms up in the air and disappear.
As for UFO/ET/Star People stories, Ardy says she's collected a few hundred more that people have shared with her since she started writing her books. She's also mulling a few ideas for a children's book series. Maybe we can convince her publisher we'd like to read them too.

Podcast link for Debra Diamond 9/17/16 - Wendy's Coffeehouse - I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced NDE and or STE.
Debra Diamond has done her homework investigating aspects of NDE that beg to be explored further, the aftereffects. So, even if you have already heard some amazing Near Death stories, what you might not have heard is the story behind the story; how dramatically life changes for those who must then reconcile (or try to) a completely different world view resulting from the NDE.
Debra Diamond had a similar shift, rather than NDE, she experienced a Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) and an awakening to her abilities as a Medium.
Some of this process is very familiar to me, given the life-redirect I experienced in 1997 with the beginning of the nightlight encounter - still ongoing, 24/7.
Age, Sex, Belief, Income, Locale, etc., NDE can happen to anyone at anytime. What she does effectively address is the issue/s that surface afterward. Reconciling and integrating the experience. That's the part of the equation that (much like STE) is the greatest challenge. Life is NOT the same.
What happens when you suddenly discover a savant like ability for physics? When you discover you are psychic, when you desire a completely different lifestyle? No longer interested in mainstream news programs or job pursuits, no longer interested in eating meat, now vegan. Big changes. And no logical reason for the change.
Here's the info for one amazing case of NDE transformation: Dr. Tony Cicoria: Story: Metro.co.uk

Scientists picked up a sound from deep space and UFO enthusiasts cheered ... especially when it was suggested that type of signal had to be from a 'Kardashev' type civilization (thought to be way more intelligent than humans) and then the bubble burst. CNN reported that the source was likely a "terrestrial disturbance" - a similar ray of hope had been dashed decades ago with the discovery a Soviet military satellite had caused a signal anomaly...
Whatever... WE know they're out there and already here and playing a good game of: "Now (some of ) you see me..."

I have been on a few sites with Rob and the group to explore and investigate suspected paranormal activity. More about Rob in the LA Times Rob remembers a site in a KC suburb - now in private ownership - that once was the home of an Antique shop and remains quite active. Visitors and shop workers reported seeing a little boy in the store. Children were more likely to see him.
And a word of caution to all antique collectors. Sometimes, you can bring unwanted guest/s along with your new treasure. If and when that happens, here's Rob's info.

I also blog at Animalnsight. Sharing this post because, no matter how many times I have seen it in the years since I first posted, I am captivated by the storytelling and the connection Irina has with her dogs. Mesmerizing. Bonus: She attributes her special relationship to an Angelic assist.
Prepare to be amazed by some magical performers.
If you have never seen this award winning film short, it's a gem. Irina Markova is an extraordinary animal communicator. Emotionally charged, the film draws you into her world for a very brief moment and leaves a lasting impression. Unforgettable, her character.
Description: Multi festival favorite, The Poodle Trainer received a special Jury
award from AFI/Silverdocs, "for a film that packs humor and tragedy into
a subtle and perfectly paced 7 minutes." --
Known as the Russian Dog Whisperer, Irina credits angels for helping her do her work. And there is no doubt, she is incredibly gifted. The dogs mirror her and follow her every move, alert for a cue to the next pose.
Watching the interactions of her canine crew and hearing her describe the feelings she has for them and for her work, indeed, the element of a higher source is present.
Animal Communicators are challenged to find words for the deeds they do. It may well be that there simply are no words. The explanation is in the result. Irina speaks the language of the heart. Sincere, authentic, genuine, humble and very much worth knowing.

Co-Author, Robbie Holz, healed
herself of hepatitis C and also worked with Aboriginal healers in
Australia. She is a holistic health consultant dedicated to continuing
the healing work of her late husband, Gary Holz, D.Sc. (1950-2007).
An award-winning physicist and a
psycho-neuro-immunologist, he was confined to a wheelchair with
multiple sclerosis in 1994. Undeterred by naysayers, Gary journeyed to Australia to stay with an Aboriginal
tribe. The result: miraculous healing.
If you want more information, in addition to the content our interview on KCMO Talk Radio, here's another interview with Robbie: "Secrets of Aboriginal Healing" --
When you choose to change something in your life, the key is to be specific with the language. Don't say "I wish," don't say, "I want" ... the rest is in the book: page 71, the chapter on Focus.
Top Headline this week -- The Greatest in every aspect, Muhammad Ali was also an avid UFO fan.

Beckley says there was so much material in regard to Ali that he gave him an entire chapter.

"Memory Metal," an incredible substance that has a track record of sticky consequences for many of those known to have had contact or knowledge about it. Carey says scientists trying to back engineer a reasonable facsimile have had no success. The extraordinary properties are such that - to date - no substance exists that can produce identical results.
Author Tom Carey had just been contacted by a NEW witness who realized (while reading his book) she also saw a demonstration of the incredible "Memory Metal" and this is the first time he has shared that info. Expect more details in his upcoming book: Roswell: the Verdict of History.
