Before Covid-19 hijacked the headlines it was Area 51, UFOs, Deep Prasad with George Knapp, Mercury Retrograde, Year of the Rat, and so on ....

Reflecting a bit -- this post was typical. Since then, the world has changed in a profound way. Somehow, just a few weeks ago, things seemed a lot more innocent and carefree. Then again, my pocket of the universe has always deviated from high drama ... until recently, when it became unavoidable. 

There is one constant - evidenced in these stories and those I continue to reference - a reminder that no matter what crisis steals center stage - the behind the scenes weirdness - is still going on in the wings.

In hindsight, note the Year of the Rat travel forecast. That happy pup at Starbucks drive up window ... not happening now. And talking about school ... many began shutting down in mid March.

Even the T. McKenna quote seems a bit prescient.

• Finding UFO - has revived interest in Area 51 with a new video highlighting Secret Area 51 tunnels and including a timeline of landscape changes from the 90s to the present. Fascinating.  Mysterious Universe. Follow Finding UFO on Twitter.
• Real and unreal - Ghost in School. Security camera might have clues. Mysterious Universe.
• Ducks vs. Locusts sounded like a solid plan: The Independent. Source video is awesome: Duck army tweet. However, one expert nixed the Duck army. “Ducks rely on water, but in Pakistan’s desert areas, the temperature is very high,” Zhang said. Zhang, part of a delegation of Chinese experts sent to help the south Asian country combat the locusts, advised the use of chemical or biological pesticides instead.": The Guardian
• Hemp crop burned. Kentucky farm forced to torch 600 lbs. of the crop when it tested over the limit for THC. Fox News.
• Emotion and Animals. Suicide. Psychology Today. 2018 Do they know they are going to die? Psychology Today. 2018  (Yes.) I have been fortunate to see some of my pets changing their behavior prior to passing - spending moments together, saying goodbye to their animal friends.
• Pup cup enthusiasm overload at Starbucks drive thru. Caught on cell. The Dodo.
• Reporter ...oops with selfie filters. Hilarity ensues. AOL.
• Black People, White People, ET People. Race and the UFO. David Halperin says the chapter he devoted to African Americans and UFOs was omitted. So he posted it on his blog: Chapter intro: “In a society split by race, is there a distinctively black American UFO experience? I think the answer is yes, and I think the abduction paradox is one facet of this mostly unrecognized and unexplored issue. That’s what this chapter is about.” [Preview his book: Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO.] The treasure in his omitted material is reference to a book written by twins who share a remarkable story of ET contact. From the Motherland to the Mothership. (On my reading list.) 
• Still interested? Jimi Hendrix wrote about his ET/UFO experiences. Mysterious Universe. Curious. Read Starchild. Muhammad Ali believed that Aliens were watching him. Mysterious Universe.

Thank you, George Knapp. Interview with Physicist Deep Prasad about the mind shift accompanying his ET/UFO encounter.

Like nothing he had ever imagined. He found himself in stream of consciousness saying all sorts of things along the line of what I am paraphrasing as: "OMG -- they're real."



More where that came from. Additional interview segments on Mysterywire.
My earlier blog post referenced Deep Prasad's ET Contact confession. TalkingtoNightlights.

[Yes, in my own experience, they can influence us in such a way it is difficult (if not impossible) from this state of awareness to determine what 'reality' is engaged. The mist/haze/fog in-between of physical and non-physical suggests connection at a deeper level of consciousness than humans are currently accessing.] 


Wendy's Coffeehouse Schedule -  

Update 3/1 - UFOs, ETs, Ghosts, Bigfoot, Psychedelics for Science and a quick review of upcoming local/regional Paranormal events.

As KCMO AM 710 and the entire Cumulus Media group in Kansas City is relocating, it became the perfect time to test the Mercury Retrograde effect. Result: See previously noted show update.

Details: Pre-arranged alternate recording studio to account for producer training time in new building. Day of show - alternate recording studio phone disconnected. Relocated to Air studio - phone worked just fine for show vacating said studio. Phone dead and said to have been temperamental that week. Corroborating witnesses comment to me: "Mercury Retrograde, right Wendy?" So it would seem. And highly inconvenient. ;)

Don't mess with Mercury Retrograde: Astrology Zone.
Potential pitfalls: Turbulence and Disruption.
Suggestions of what not do do:
"Don't make any important moves when Mercury is retrograde." Already in progress. Can't be helped.
"Avoid plastic surgery." Done!
The upside: The new studios are absolutely fantastic.

Mercury Retrograde is a blip compared to the ominous Year of the Rat travel forecast. CNN.

So Man-fung Peter, Geomancy Consultant and Feng Shui Master: "Feng shui can be used to decode the energy of a place but it shouldn't dictate where travelers should or shouldn't go, he says. "According to feng shui readings, destinations east of China, such as Taiwan, central Japan and the west coast of the United States, are overshadowed by a major star of illness this coming year. It means it is more prone to man-made and natural disasters."

• Continuing game changers with Covid-19. One way aisles and reduced capacity at the grocery store. Testing now at Kroger and Walmart. CNN.
• Boomer parents and lockdown rebellion? "At least one survey shows that baby boomers, one of the demographics that is most at risk of COVID-19 (to the degree that the illness has been uncharitably referred to by youngsters as the “boomer remover”)." Rolling Stone.  
• Troubling development. Anyone with symptoms or positive for Covid-19 urged to minimize contact with animals and family pets. Several tigers and lions at the Bronx Zoo expected to recover after they started showing symptoms and one tested positive for coronavirus. CNN.  They had been in contact with an asymptomatic worker who later tested positive.

• David Paulides/Missing 411 would appreciate this case. Tom Dongo writes about his teleportation experience. "It was a short walk of about 15 minutes. It’s impossible to get lost in such a close area. I got the tools and headed back. I was going down a shallow canyon that had about two feet of dry maple leaves on the ground. I glanced down at my boots for a few seconds so as not to trip – and when I looked up again I was not in the same canyon." Alternate Perceptions Magazine. 

Thank you, Ars Technica for flagging the novel and inspired, Tales From the Loop. 
"Residents of a rural town find themselves grappling with strange occurrences thanks to the presence of an underground particle accelerator in the new series Tales from the Loop, inspired by the stunningly surreal neofuturistic art of Swedish artist/designer Simon Stålenhag."


Ars Technica says "The eight-episode series was originally slated for a limited premiere at SXSW last month; the coronavirus pandemic scuttled those plans, along with our collective social lives. But now everyone can watch the series on Amazon Prime."

Shows this week - Conscious Living on Empower Radio - 9 pm central time, include -

April 7 (TUESDAY): Journey Into Prayer - Bill Sweet discusses the ability to engage empowered prayer; the ability to manifest intended results and, in some way, you are already doing it. In 1969 near Chicago, Bruce and John Klingbeil began to explore "the positive, biased, and negative effects of prayer." They founded Spindrift Inc. to support research and education in the fields that studied consciousness, prayer, spirituality, and the placebo effect. The Klingbeils presumed that the purpose behind quality prayer is to nudge disorder toward order.

April 8 (WEDNESDAY): NEW EPISODE - Medical Miracle with Qigong - Kac Young didn't realize what had happened until Doctors started taking images of her heart and were astonished at what they saw. Evidence of extraordinary healing.

April 9 (THURSDAY): Psychic Sasquatch - Kewaunee and Kelly Lapseritis A common theme between ET, UFO, The Little People and Bigfoot/Sasquatch messages? The call for Humans to expand their spiritual awareness and to connect a few important dots in regard to our consciousness.

April 10 (FRIDAY): Soul Speak: What Is Your Body Telling You - Julia Cannon, Author of Soul Speak (Daughter of Dolores Cannon), works with energy to interpret the issues presented in body language and how each and every physical health message has a purpose calling us to pay attention. Julia hosts the annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference in Arkansas. Post-phoned this year to July. Link. Past presenter Calvin Parker spoke about his 1973 close encounter in Pascagoula. YouTube. Or you can read: Pascagoula - The Closest Encounter: My Story/Amazon Book.

Coming up on Wendy's Coffeehouse -  

April 12, Sunday, 8 pm central time, KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM. Cathryn McIntyre. The Thoreau Whisperer. Will we talk about Ghosts? Of course. And ETs and Fairies and dead authors ... because paranormal is part of life.

And right now, more people seem to be paying attention to that part. Speaking from experience, alone time opens doors easy to ignore when overwhelmed by social obligations, work deadlines and other daily life distractions.

Kinda like the two pandas zoo keepers had been unsuccessfully encouraging to make babies for 10 years. Shuttered due to coronavirus - zoo pandas - are enjoying their quiet time. Story in progress. CNN.

Ghosts, ETs, Sasquatch, Fairies and the like also tend to shun crowds. They're more likely to opt for a one on one engagement. The experiencer has a life-shift and determines whether to go public or stay private. And the world can believe it or not.

Stay curious. Be well.
