Breadcrumbs - Afterlife Books and blogs 

“After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond” (St. Martin’s Essentials), Amazon, March 2, Dr. Bruce Greyson

"5% have had a near death experience and they say it made life worth living." - NYPost

Reviews: "Bridges the gap between science and spirituality with elegance." - Anita Moorjani, bestselling author of Dying to Be Me "

"This book will change the consciousness of many readers in a very positive way." - Pim van Lommel, M.D., author of Consciousness Beyond Life

***

Checking in with Near Death researchers Ring and Moody -

Waiting to Die is now a book. Amazon.

- Dr. Kenneth Ring’s 'theory is that both near death experiencers and UFO experiencers are able to enter an altered state of consciousness through dissociation. This enables them to enter an objectively real “imaginal realm” or alternate reality in which their unusual experiences take place.' - Blog.

In 1968, Dr. Raymond Moody says he was a sceptic and an atheist. He now considers himself as neither. Why? He says 'after 50 years of investigating near death experiences and hearing from thousands of doctors and patients, he could no longer deny the survival of consciousness.'

Proof of Reincarnation. Interview with Stephane Allix available now in the podcast library. Wendy's Coffeehouse Link.

When I was Someone Else: The Incredible True Story of Past Life Connection, 2021, Amazon.

Stephane is a former war reporter and documentary director, founding member and President of the French Institute of Research on Extraordinary Experiences (INREES)

We talk about his past life journey but I was also curious about his connection to John Mack after I saw the Experiencers documentary [by Stephane Allix] about Alien Abductions listed among the titles posted on the John E Mack Institute site.

What happened to Stephane in the Amazon was definitely a jump start from spirit. Not one to trust his own inner guidance, the entire journey was an exercise in developing trust and discernment.

For substantiating evidence, the book includes photos, maps and historical documents. Details are cross referenced for dates and locations to track the movements of the soldiers and locate the finale resting place.

If the photo resemblance is remarkable and the documentation irrefutable, being accepted by the relatives was the deciding factor. He passed that test.

There are multiple synchronicities in connecting the dots to unfold the timeline suggesting assistance from an unseen source. When the pastlife aspect of the soul found an outlet to address a deep seeded wound, healing resulted on both timelines, allowing the aspect of soul that is the present incarnation to progress without further impediment.

Stephane is continuing to explore the topic of consciousness and extraordinary knowing. No doubt, more will be revealed.

"If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop." - Kurt Cobain

"Monk" Magazine, October 1992. 

More quotes from Kurt. Source.

Best of: "You do learn things and one of them is that happiness has nothing to do with validation from other people, the important thing is being happy with yourself ... finding something that is important to you and sticking with it no matter what anyone says. The truth is you've got to really be tough because there are all kinds of forces that are always trying to get you to do things their way ... trying to tell you that you are throwing your life away if you don't follow their advice."  

Cheers!

UFOs, Comas and the Paranormal. Non-ordinary states of reality. How Strange Can it Get?

“...what we have to do with regard to the great wisdom from the whole of the past, both in the East and in the West, is to assimilate it and go on to new and original perception relevant to our present condition of life.” ― David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order

UFOs as Influencers

“Believe me, this is one of the most important stories that UFO experiencers have to offer – I think he was inspired to write To Earth From Heaven for our benefit, for the benefit of all truth seekers.” 

– Donald Ware, MS – fighter pilot, scientist, nuclear engineer, teacher, birder, researcher, former regional Director of MUFON, board of directors of the International UFO Congress Convention. Don has written an opinion/contribution in “Appendix A” in the book Eminent Discovery.

Few experiencers can document specific details of their encounters that list dates, times, locations, drawings of craft and ETs, (or whatever the entities are who are orchestrating the events). John Foster has written 3 books detailing his experiences. Now in his mid 80’s, his story continues to raise more questions about the nature of contact.

I have been fortunate to connect with John and learn about his experiences. Several interview segments featuring both John and his daughter Kindra are posted in the podcast archives. Link.

John’s experiences suggest an ongoing and intentionally clandestine effort to engage certain members of our society/species. The agenda and the ultimate purpose remain unknown.

This is when I was 2 or 3 years old.  I and a younger neighbor baby were levitated up about 150 feet to the large object.   The voice continued to talk to us and this alligator being appeared. The voice said that they were here to change humankind and the way they did it was to enlist help from people like me. He continued to say that we would have to fool some people because some people didn't like change.

See Chapter 7 in the book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.

I hope to provide more information and a release date for what is intended to be a 90 minute documentary when it is available. John’s story is fascinating and compelling.

COMA is not what we thought

Considering COMA a state of sleeping is entirely inaccurate. Thousands of COVID sufferers opened a window into the severe lack of knowledge in dealing with COMA patients.

I interviewed Alan Pearce. Link. Alan is a journalist, broadcaster, and author of Coma and Near-Death Experience: The Beautiful, Disturbing and Dangerous World of the Unconscious. Amazon Affiliate link. He also specializes in cyber-security and counter-surveillance.

Nothing about this level of incapacitation resembles the body's natural sleep state recovery. This book is a fantastic resource for anyone who has experienced or known someone who has experienced being in a coma. The authors have done a tremendous amount of research pulling together past history, current practice, and evidential reports from experiencers to offer insight in an effort to advocate much needed change.

- "Demonstrates how a key element of the brain is switched off by coma-inducing sedatives, allowing the mind to break free from the body."

"A must-read for anyone who is touched by critical illness, whether they are a patient, family member, or a clinician.” – E. Wesley Ely, M.D., professor of medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

REBEKKA KARIJORD - YOU MAKE ME REAL by OSKAR WRANGÖ from Camp David Film on Vimeo.

Entertainment: Thelma's Revenge, PSI Highlights, The Hum, and Meg Hansen Interview

“Old age ain’t no place for sissies” – Bette Davis

It may take a decade – or several – but when you eventually realize the ladder of success has a flip top – you can hop off and have a whole lot more fun exploring the spooky fringe.

'Thelma' strikes back

Things no one tells you about getting older: They’re still not telling.

According to my mom: NO ONE ANSWERS the OVER 60 Free Legal Help for Seniors Hotline. It is a perpetual time suck that sends you from one recorded line to the next. She called (severely overheated) to inform me of that travesty shortly before I was due at my health appointment [perfectly timed for my blood pressure update].

After a few quick questions and a google search, I redirected her to the main/online page/website for that department and left for my appointment.

She cooled down, found the site, filled out a form and has been advised that she is on a list and someone will call in 3 to 5 days. The clock is ticking… along with the fuse. [3 to 5 days turned into weeks.] 

This is why I prefer dealing with the endless parade of non-physical, unexplained enigmas [ETs, Ghosts, Fairies, Sasquatch, etc.], and all things liberated from the inane, bureaucratic fixated wormhole commonly referred to as ‘reality’…

For Mom - and all elders trying to adjust to an increasingly fickle social landscape - 'Thelma' is based on the real-life experience of writer-director Josh Margolin's grandmother: Trailer Link.

In the film, the 93-year-old Thelma (June Squibb) gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, then sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

The film world premiered to critical acclaim at Sundance, where Magnolia landed rights in a competitive situation. Details. Source. June 2024 release date.

Mystery unsolved: The Hum

Can you hear the Hum? This video explores the mystery. YouTube.

In the comments: “I lived in Taos for many years, and I have personally heard the hum. For me, the sound is louder on the other side of town toward the mountains, and not out by Two Peaks and the Gorge Bridge. I talked to an old-time local about it, and he told me there is a “hollow” mountain in Taos Canyon, containing a secret military installation. This is consistent with another incident that happened to me in the canyon, so this is plausible. Also.. For a brief time during a return to Taos, I lived in the same hotel you stayed at for about 6 months. It looks like the place has experienced a major renovation since then, haha. Great video!”

Dark Horse - the winning element - Love

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence. - Pam Brown, Author

Coming up on Wendy's Coffeehouse, Rosalyn Berne, Author of When the Horses Whisper. She had a life redirect when she fell off a horse and realized she could hear what horses were thinking. 8/20/16.

Do you believe in dreams? This is a Dream story for Horse lovers.

This is a movie about a community and a horse. And the connection to the horse bonds them in a way that is so much more than simply winning a race.
