The Horse, the eclipse, and Castaneda

“You say you need help. Help for what? You have everything needed for the extravagant journey that is your life.” – Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan, Amazon

The Read

I had intended to show the incredible read I was given during the eclipse. Because my horse — in the vision — is key to responding to world events playing out now. And it is reflected in the 1st card in the read.

Horseman = Herald of Change – Shaman’s Dream Oracle.

And the final card in the read, the overview, is the absolute kicker! I was instructed to pull a middle card – instructed to cut the cards – shuffle and pull the middle card. Turns out that card is in complete sync with the message of the previous post.

 Galactic Mushroom = The Divine Matrix – Shaman’s Dream Oracle, Amazon

As it turns out, I need to table that discussion, and instead offer a helpful resource to address timelines shifting outside and beyond our measures for counting.

There is a *mushroom sync — and it will make perfect sense.

The Recap

Spring is always busy but some of this material and the experiences that serve as catalysts is overwhelming to track. Much too complex to translate or convert into a linear description. I’ll go with what I am focused on in the moment and incorporate another seeker/storyteller who has (obviously) been offered as a resource at the (conveniently) perfect time.

What I am sharing is the result of a spiritually guided prompt that happened after the vision of the horse and a meditation during the eclipse.

The Guidance

Seemingly out of the blue, during meditation [after returning from the short getaway for eclipse excitement], a prompt. A telepathic suggestion. The title drops: Journey to Ixtlan. Nothing further, just the title. I assume this is Castaneda. And it is. Curious.

Okay, I’m game. Wondering at the significance of that specific selection, I expected to find the title in my small collection of Castaneda books. When I realized that book was missing, I asked, “Why I am supposed to read that book?”

The response. “Read the first page. You’ll know.” The first page.

Locating the book at the half-price book store, I open it up to see if I have found the right book and what the first page might reveal. No doubt. It’s the right book.

This is the first page.

Of the few Castaneda books in my collection, I’ve read some – skimmed most.

I wasn’t a fan of Castaneda until I grabbed a new book (at the time) to show my husband, who liked Castaneda, the latest release. As he was still looking at other books, I opened the book to check it out (Magical Passes).

When I opened to the page that explicitly described a metaphysical encounter that I had just experienced, I gained a new appreciation for Castaneda’s work. Maybe he did have something to say to me.

Delving deeper into his background, I became aware of the critics and the controversy. It didn’t change the fact that something he described actually happened in my personal experience of reality.

Only recently did I realize the source of my initial disinterest in Castaneda’s writing. It was exactly as he outlines in the introduction to Journey to Ixtlan.

Referring to the focus of his first two books on the use of *psychotropics [previously mentioned mushroom link], he says his world, through the effects of psychotropics:

“…had been so bizarre and impressive that I was forced to assume such states were the only avenue to communicating and learning what don Juan was attempting to teach me.“

“That assumption was erroneous.”

The drugs are not the focus in Journey to Ixtlan.

My personal experience of incredible events without any mind altering substance made his information less interesting. However, it seems there is a shift in his perspective for book number three.

As the guides have prompted me to explore a new view, I will make time out now for some Castaneda insight.

With the horse vision and the eclipse read on the back burner – I do have one thing to note. There really is an energy shift with an eclipse. When you make time to sense it, the moment reveals itself.

Unfortunately, I know I will forget this wonderful experience at some point – so – I write to remember at such a time that it will be most helpful on my journey. I hope some of this is also helpful to you!

“Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else. – Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, Amazon

Afterlife Communication and beyond – The Dentist

“I tell you with all the strength and conviction I can utter that we do persist, that people over there still take an interest in what is going on here; that they still help us and know far more about  things than we do, and are able from time to time to communicate with us.” – Sir Oliver Lodge, A Pioneer of Connection: Recovering the Life and Work of Oliver Lodge, Link.

Oliver Lodge published Raymond, the book of communications with his departed son, in 1916, Amazon. Lodge is also remembered for his studies of life after death. He first began to study psychical phenomena (chiefly telepathy) in the 1880s through the Society for Psychical Research.

Encounter anomaly … Novocaine side effects

“When you have eliminated all which is impossible then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” – Sherlock Holmes – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Wanderings of a Spiritualist, Project Gutenberg.

I had no idea a ghost could give me a shot of novocaine – but that is exactly what it felt like – and his way of telling me he had been a dentist.

My ghost encounter happened during a spontaneous visit with Mom.

After completing our impromptu project, we opted to stay for dinner and try a new place she recommended. No go. It was booked. Option number two offered to seat and serve us at the bar. We took a look but the bar had two open seats on opposite ends. Nope.

So, across the street we landed. Not a problem. Informed by Mom the building had just celebrated a 100 year anniversary, the main level restaurant is one of her favorites.

Taking a table in the corner, we were talking about dental issues. Mom’s dentist’s plan to retire would mean her choosing a new dentist closer to home. That’s about the time I felt something poke my lower back – where a purse would usually hit me – but I wasn’t carrying a purse or a bag and the poke was strong enough to make me turn around to see what the heck was stuck in my chair.

My reaction was so abrupt, I had to explain myself – saying something poked me. Our chairs were beside the wall. Andy thought I meant him. Not the right trajectory. Nothing could have hit me. Then I remembered the 100 year anniversary of the building and chalked it up to a ghost.

Then something really odd happened. I was eating a sandwich when I felt something like an infusion and my lower jaw, tongue, and right side of my face went numb. Perplexed, I wondered if there had been some sort of bean or something in the food causing a reaction but that made no sense.

Slowly, I began to rethink the details. I heard a name. ‘John’. A complication. Mom had just been with a friend who had that name and a similar last name to what I was hearing and I couldn’t pull the last name into focus. So I stopped at John.

We left the restaurant and my phone did some unusual things. I thought I forgot it. Mom tried to call to find it. No ring. Instead, it activated the car. [That doesn’t happen.] We found the phone under the seat and things begin to add up. I realized I was being tagged by a dentist. Was his name John?

Listen to the podcast – I get into the details there.

Interesting note, I found out later the ghost saw us when we checked out the bar at the second place, and – since he knew my mom – he decided to tag along. [Hitchhiker effect? FYI – they travel – attracted by our energy, our emotions and our thoughts.] He pegged me an abstract thinker and took that as a sign I might be able to make a connection. There was no missing the clues he gave me.

• 1. Physical contact. Something poked me at the top of my hip – made me turn around in my chair to see what the heck was going on.
• 2. Undeniable sensation. The right side of my lower jaw and tongue became numb – exactly like it does when you are given a shot of novocaine. It lasted for about half an hour.
• 3. Phone malfunction.
• 4. Telepathic. The first name: John.
• 5. I was woken up during the night, and given the second name.

Active in the community – My mom and the dentist knew each other. She could and did corroborate the information he gave me.

Even more interesting to me – the name he provided turned out to be the journalist who filed the report about this death. Link.

Thanks to him, I decided to become more intentional about some of the encounters I have had with the alive and well, deceased but not departed. This is the related site. https://incidentalmedium.com

Sci-Fi – Veiled Truth

Are we living in a computer simulation? Physorg link.

The Best of Philip K. Dick adaptations. Link. New Issue PKD Otaku.

Reading his work [and work from those who were fortunate enough to access him and his material], I believe he experienced encounters with interdimensionals and attempted to weave those encounters into fiction that would hint at hidden realms operating within our reality.

Given my own encounters – which defy explanation via our consensus interpretation of ‘reality’ – I see clear parallels.

Example: Film – The Adjustment Bureau link. Main Character, Norris goes to work one day and literally sees everyone completely frozen while strange men make ‘adjustments’ to our reality.

STE in 1997 opened me up to new PSI awareness. Intense experiences with alternate realities happened over a period of several months in 2009. This is a brief sample.

I was given telepathic instruction on various occasions and perceived it as a test to see if I understood the communication (telepathic) and if/how I would respond. One time, when I followed a certain route, I witnessed white males at various points who seemed to be observing my actions and know what I was doing as if they were there to track me.

Most wore some variation of black and white clothing. Short hair. Clean shaven. They nodded or made eye contact when I encountered them and let me pass. I called them ‘the watchers’.

I had one basic Instruction: DO NOT TELEGRAPH my position as being different from those with whom I engaged. Warned: If I did call attention to myself, it could stick me to that timeline and I would be ‘lost’. It could not be reversed. I was allowed to mingle, witness, and return.

[This is why PKDick titled it Fiction.]

I chose to limit or avoid personal interaction. However, on one occasion, I deviated slightly from the directed course and took a route I believed would be a short cut through what turned out to be an apartment complex with a single entry point.

As I drove around the area, Andy (thank-you for a witness) asked why I took that route. At the same time, we both looked out the window to see all the geese on the pond – swimming in a synchronized pattern – to form a question mark. Andy said, “I guess ‘they’ also want to know why.”

My response? I really thought it was a short cut. I was going to save time. (Without having a clue to the exact purpose of the exercise. Right.)

I was curious. Strange things were happening. Was my experience ‘real’ or imagined? When I opted to deviate, it changed the program. I was then given a demonstration of the ability [by ‘them’] to manifest action, via a proxy, that allowed me to see a direct influence on my reality.

My answer came in the form of that incredible synchronized swimming display by the geese. ‘They’ had the ability to hear my thoughts, witness my actions, and impact my reality in real time. It happened multiple times, giving me direct examples of how our ‘reality’ can be influenced – with and without – our knowing.

[Much like John Foster describes in his decades of encounters.]

Because of my STE – I KNOW my reality is unique. My fanstasical experiences affirm that. Along with countless others, I have been offered insight and information that is UNIQUE to my perception and awareness.

What I choose to do with that information is where ‘rubber hits the road’.

[When the “rubber hits the road” It used to indicate the moment of truth or to the moment when something happens to make a situation become volatile.]

Sometimes – there is nothing to be done – it is insight – offered to allow understanding that a larger game is afoot and certain things will play out – with an assist from anomalous others [or not] – whose origin and motives we cannot begin to fathom or comprehend. Intervention by us is impossible at the current – material – level. We are required/destined to EVOLVE spiritually. As some already have.

That is why those who influence me – my guides – and others – say the one thing that will help us on a grand scale – as in – our species as a whole – is to focus on improving our PSI abilities/skills.

Consciousness is the engine that will carry humans past physical limitations to awareness that exists beyond the material plane.

When humans eventually refrain from bickering over manifest, manufactured contrarian minutia that puts the entire planet and ALL species in peril – our benefactors will present new ‘materials’ in matter form to assist in our development.

There is no timeframe for this – ‘they’ don’t operate within our dimensional constraints. And that is in our favor. It means anything is possible.

At present, our species is considered primal, prone to violence, disconnected from a higher path. That is evolving. Baby steps in progress – with helpers dropping feathers to encourage us to look beyond the form to the formless – the immeasurable void. That’s where magic happens. Magic is real.

OBE influencer Robert Monroe suggested a helpful mantra: 

“I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world.”

UFO Experiencer John Foster – Documentary

New development: John has informed me a documentary about his experience is underway. One of the most helpful (and amazing) aspects of his story is that he was rarely alone.

The documentary will include some of the co-experiencers he calls ‘familiar strangers’ who were also present during the encounters. Link.

John’s extensive documentation of his experiences includes watching entire crowds being ‘frozen’ as the interaction between himself, certain related others in some kind of program, and the UFO entities played out.

In addition to corroborating his account, their information can provide more insight about the encounters.

Synchronicity

At some point today, I landed on a FB comment made by someone affiliated with an area dispensary. I liked his comment, so I followed up to check out the actual site: Elevate Missouri. Excellent marketing vibe.

Still writing and working on this blog, I grabbed (easier than opening the multiple books I have from this author) the Robert Monroe quote from Pinterest – noting it came from another blog I follow. Then came the connect – the trigger for that blogger’s Kundalini Awakening: marijuana.

Beyond the Physical

Beyond what we think we know – we are surrounded by unknown wonders. Normal? Paranormal? Supra-normal? Unexplained. I hesitate applying a name or label because I believe we have more to learn about what is possible.

As we evolve our awareness, we will discover some of our experiences and encounters have been mislabeled, misinterpreted, and, as a result, entirely misunderstood.

Here is a short video example of my interactive nightlight. Link. I channel and this is the counterpart. Activity (anomalous, paranormal) has been ongoing for 25+ years. The entity I connect with has always preferred the definition: non-corporeal.

Reality. Is. More.

Paranormal on Parade, “The Bigfoot Alien Connection Revealed”, Alien Implants and Magic in the Moonlight...

You are magic, you are divine, 
In you, all things are possible. 


~
Middle of the night. I am aware something is touching my arm. In the cabin at the lake, I have fallen asleep on the couch. And, because of the odd sleeping location, I have apparently draped my arm across my face.

A sensation wakens me. It feels like a feather brushing lightly across the skin on the back of my arm. It tickles. I move my arm slightly and am blinded by a bright light.

Annoyed now, I wonder why Andy is standing over me shining his flashlight in my face. I don’t like the joke and tell Andy to get the light out of my face. I am now squinting, wondering what is going on and irritated at being awakened like that.

Gradually, my eyes begin to focus and I realize the bright light in my eyes is the full moon shining through the skylight. I hear Andy softly snoring in the bedroom, still asleep. Jack and Gracie (our dogs) are in there with him. There is no one standing beside me.

Curious, fully awake and wondering at the purpose for this interaction, I project my question in a thought and ask whomever is with me (that I cannot see) what the point was in waking me up.

The reply: “There’s magic in the moonlight. Sleep through it and you will miss it.” 
~

 An interesting thing I remember about that moment is the definite sensation of someone standing beside me, touching me with something that felt like a feather brushing across my arm. It was only after I figured out the bright light was the moon and not Andy with a flashlight, I noticed a shift in the energy.

The space where I thought Andy had been standing felt very empty, like something was missing. I can’t explain that. However, I did get the message. Now I know I can look for magic in the moonlight.

# # #

Monday night, after I had been working on setting up interviews and trying to determine scheduling, I got in bed and reviewed a few notes. I heard something crack. This sound had happened a day or so earlier and I didn’t see anything out of place so I let it go.

Now, having heard the sound before, I wondered what it was. It was a louder crack this time. I didn’t see anything on the floor. Then it happened again, and it was almost like something was directly behind me in the headboard. I got up and shifted the pillows, looked at the mattress and box springs, thinking the entire time how amusing it would appear to whomever was originating the sound. 

Knowing I was being toyed with, I went to the TV room to tell Andy something was up. He asked where the cat was. I told him the cat was not in the room.

When I returned to the bedroom, Jack came with me. He positioned himself on the pillow and stared at the headboard. I spoke to him and he held his gaze, fixed directly at the headboard, confirming my suspicion. Whomever it was, was engaging with him. Yes, we had company and I would figure it out later. I went to sleep.

# # #

I plow through a lot of material, searching daily for links to bookmark and potential interview content. Today, the film, “The Bigfoot Alien Connection Revealed” has my answer. Andy and I were watching together when I heard the familiar sound.

As they discuss Sasquatch activity and attempt to record sounds, one sound repeats several times. Like the sound of a board or wood breaking, it is a ‘crack’ and also happens to be the same name I gave for the sound I was trying to source when examining my headboard and the boards under the box springs.

I also have to remember there was more than a sound. I felt a presence. I also told Andy I had the sense of it being a game. The energy felt like something/someone was playing with me.

The film also includes another familiar phrase while discussing contact and interaction with Sasquatch/Bigfoot. “Expect the unexpected.”

Make your own connections. The film is available on Amazon and free for Prime members. Preview the trailer.

 

What you are seeking is seeking you.

Maybe that sounds familiar. It's no joke. When we learn how powerful our thoughts are, we will understand how easily and inadvertently we telegraph our intent to others.

The PSI prompts I am given by my guides in regard to encouraging us to hone our telepathic ability are about more than us improving psychic awareness. As we improve and tune into other realms, we will also be clued into how loudly our thoughts register on the higher planes and how easy we are to read so that we may fine tune and better direct our broadcast.

Ingo Swann had an introduction to this while remote-viewing the Moon. Regarding it as a general, albeit highly sensitive, assignment, he witnessed the presence of beings who were working on a project of some sort.

The curve came when he saw that – even in his remote-viewing, OBE, psychic state – a couple of those beings were aware of his presence. And that was clearly evidenced when they started motioning in his direction. Penetration, Special Edition, Humanoids on the Moon, page 40.

Incoming energy waves now are triggering an intensifying ebb and flow of PSI activity and awareness. With this Covid-19 ‘time out’ from routine, there are opportunities for non-ordinary encounters that might easily be tuned out when the schedule is otherwise full of obligations. Such insight opens doors to new awareness.

We are undergoing a re-set in consciousness. Adjustment brings an opportunity to activate and engage intuition in determining actions that serve a higher purpose in going forward. Awakening heart frequencies, a catalyst for empaths and a challenge for intuitives. The amplified frequency of the incoming waves can be overwhelming. Some are drained and some are empowered.

No judgement. It simply varies given the activities at hand. Stay focused.

Wendy's Coffeehouse 

Just me this weekend on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM, Sunday night at 8 p Central. Or catch the show in the Archives. I am covering some of my paranormal normal.

Related to the topic of aliens and sasquatch, Brian Bland is a Sasquatch experiencer. I’ll post my interview with him in the Wendy’s Coffeehouse archives in May.

If you have extra time to explore novel topics, check out Patient Seventeen. What happens when you have an experience you can't talk about because the only people comfortable with the topic are other experiencers.

Image credit: Terry Lovelace

Alien implants - a topic that can quickly clear a room. And that's too bad. With solid research and good questions we might find out the extent of this type of contact phenomenon and how current experiencers cope.

I spoke with Terry Lovelace about his implant and he shared the image. A tiny piece of metal with two wires attached, embedded in his leg. Interview link.

Another interview booked for May is Steve Colbern, research partner with Roger Leir, the subject of Patient Seventeen. I'm hoping to find out what happened after the cliffhanger ending of that documentary.

So please don't take this documentary as the final word. In another decade or two we may well look back on this type of research as primitive, but for now it's a start. Just try it on for size and see what you think, keeping in mind that a documentary film can only scratch the surface of any subject. We hope you enjoy it."

  Friedkin did the The Exorcist in 1973. "Amorth's favorite film was The Exorcist. He thought it substantially correct and based on true events, although the special effects were exaggerated. In an interview with the London Sunday Telegraph, Amorth stressed that "People need to know what we do." [5]" - Wiki
  
  Because of the rating, my Stepfather took me. It was a sell out crowd. He was mortified. Told Mom afterward he had no idea what he had agreed to. I (also) thought it was wildly exaggerated but I liked the supernatural element and knew that part could be real.
  
  Revisiting the subject from a different vantage point gave Friedkin an opportunity to dive deep into the topic and explore various viewpoints and case histories.
  
  Worth reading, he writes about the experience in Vanity Fair and includes commentary from a discussion on exorcism amongst leading US Psychiatrists. Jeffrey Lieberman, director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, had an up close and personal encounter he can't quite explain, including paranormal activities at his house.
  
  What does become more apparent in reading the backstory and comparing notes offered by the Psychiatrists, none are quite so willing to dismiss it or label it a hoax as might have been the case in 1973.
  
  I did a previous post on this topic (exorcism). Wendy's Coffeehouse
