  • Princeton studied introverts and loners and it's all good. "Researchers write that loners are “critical to understanding collective and social behaviors” across the animal kingdom."
    For example, if a pandemic of a coronavirus called, say, COVID-19, hit a species, the introverted shut-ins who stayed alone in their homes until they received vaccines would have a 100% survival rate. Their antisocial tendencies would make them invulnerable to the group threat. - Fast Company

Quiet time - Animal Communication

Nap ... half asleep .. hear a meow (My cat Stormy has a very soft and high pitched voice).

Sounds like he is nearby but I don't see him. I go to look outside on the porch. Sitting on the patio table - he is waiting and watching the door. He wanted in. Bob too.

Darting inside, I notice Stormy immediately parks himself at the foot of the bed where my feet had been - a thank you and an acknowledgement we are connected. This is the second time he has managed this subtle maneuver.

In the downtime, I am more receptive to his call and he is demonstrating he knows how to reach me.

Brilliant reinforcement for the beliefs in this classic work, Kinship with All Life, by J. Allen. Boone.

(I interviewed John Denver in 1996 and passed on the invitation to see him perform that weekend. After he died, I heard from him. In the conversation, he told me how much he loved watching the Perseids. I didn't remember talking to him about that from our interview. The connection felt genuine but I looked it up to make sure. Confirmed. Amazing. That was when I was trying to avoid talking to dead people.)

Wendy's Coffeehouse 2/17/19 Interview with prolific Writer/Author John Nelson. Site.

Also an editor, one of his clients is a recognized name in Kansas City: “John’s uncanny ability to take an elusive, creative idea and create a solid direction of coherent storytelling is often incomprehensible to me in its clarity. And after each session with him, the direction was so clear and focused that my channel effortlessly opened and created. It was nothing short of magical.” - Dee Wallace from her book Bright Light: Spiritual Lessons from a Life in Acting, O-Books, Spring 2011

Kindle on Amazon
Off air, I was comparing Scrying to Dr. Raymond Moody's Psychomanteum technique used to connect with deceased loved ones. Link: How to facilitate and induce After Death Communication (ADC) and more information on Dr. Moody's Psychomanteum Research. Read a testimonial from one person who was initially skeptical and later included her experience in a book: Carla Wills-Brandon at White Crow Books. [John has also worked with Dr. Moody.]

John's Amazon book list continues to expand. He focuses on spiritually motivating content. In our previous conversation we talked about Energy work and his book, A Guide to Energetic Healing. Initially, I reconnected to talk about Scrying, featured in his book The Magic Mirror. However, the newest book has just debut to a chorus of good reviews, so we start there.

John posted a link for the promo video on Facebook. The Miracle of Anna, an Awakened Child. How complicated might it be to raise a spiritually advanced child who challenges the current view of the manifest plane, a child born illuminated? As complicated as you might imagine.


Comic relief. I saw the film before it chalked up all the awards: Alternative Math. This Teacher can't catch a break. Beaten but not quite down for the count... she's got one trick up her sleeve.

I teased this class during our interview.  

Where can you take a class on Anthropology of the Paranormal? In Kansas City? College credit? Try JCCC.

Interview coming up in April. Anthropology Professor Sean Daley shares my preference for meeting people who might need help regarding an issue of supernatural origin in a local coffeehouse. [A neutral location.]

Reading the online reviews from students who have taken his classes, feedback is  positive. In this interview for the online publication, The Campus Ledger, Daley says, "There’s a movement where things that would be considered occult are becoming very mainstream," Daley said. "The paranormal, particularly the darker side of it, is becoming a part of pop culture."

I know I would have loved to have had an opportunity to explore that field of study if it had been available when I was in college. Glad to see classes on the topic are an option now.

Discovered a new cache of Paranormal true stories filed in the now defunct Open Vault/X-Project Paranormal Magazine. On that site, I chose this sample: Gravity.

Here's the deal. Gravity is a similar theme in the story I heard regarding a local case from 2009. I tagged along as Psychic with a KC paranormal group on their investigation at the KU campus in Lawrence. (I've spoken with Rob Garcia of Elite Paranormal about his EVP work.)

An aside from the official report, the on-site handyman shared his story, including several experiences that spooked him. He says one that first got his attention was hearing a screw fall off a table and hit the floor behind him as he stood on a ladder facing the wall.

Alone in the building and working late, the sound echoed in the room. Gave him chills, because he knew he had deliberately put the screws far enough from the edge to avoid having them fall off.

No fan running. Nothing he knew of could have re-positioned a screw close enough to the edge to drop on the floor. Mind blown.

He made several unsuccessful attempts to recreate the action. Turns out it did repeat itself. Again, when he was up on the ladder, back turned. Even more challenging, his experience of someone touching him, usually on the ear, while he cat-napped on the couch. Also heard a voice whisper to him.

When the team showed up to present the findings recorded during the investigation, my necklace fell off and into my shirt as had happened during my first visit to the space. As I recall, the fastener had to be unscrewed. Thank you, Ghost. The story link was posted on Lawrence Journal World.

Lawrence, KS. has several known haunted sites. Another is The Eldridge Hotel


Are you psychic? Some people don't admit it. And for good reason. Check out Psychic Spy, Lyn Buchanan's interview with Jeffrey Mishlove. He details a PK experience that got him in trouble as a kid when the adults found his abilities too frightening to consider "normal".  More information on Remote Viewing and Lyn Buchanan and his work: Link
