Humility is key in awakening to higher dimensions - and PKD

“Philip K. Dick was more than a visionary: he’s the man who remembered the future.” – James Rogers

One who aspires to greater awareness learns to respect the unknown to gain access to levels previously hidden from view – that revelation calls reality into question.

Moon shot

There we were – managing to locate the comet framed by twin stars, high in the west sky. (Andy could actually see it – the only person who could.) However, neither Andy’s camera nor my phone camera could sight the darn thing.

We lucked out. The guy who showed up next to us got some great shots with his comet tracker app and his 500 zoom lens (with the same camera Andy has: 350 Zoom lens. Bummer). Bonus: The guy told us about the ghost at the place he works.

We turned to leave and saw the moon rising in the east. I got that instead.

Expanding the comfort zone – Introductions to others among us

“If there are other worlds parallel to ours, are all the doors closed? Or does one, here or there, stand ajar?” – Louis L’Amour, The Haunted Mesa.

Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona is like Skinwalker Ranch in Utah – a very active site with multiple accounts of high strangeness events. The documentary I’ve linked includes testimony from paranormal researcher Tom Dongo (I’ve interviewed Tom. Link).

This isn’t a rehashing of previous History Channel presentations. Footage includes a trek to view sasquatch footprints, interactive orbs, portals, and tech that reveals the image of an [invisible to human eyesight] entity that can appear to have a form similar to humans. Link.

Which reality to choose?

I am following Nick Cook’s progress on his new book, now on Chapter 16. Subscribers [paid] get access to full chapters, commentary, and the occasional group zoom meeting with the author.

He regained my full attention with his post on VALIS, a reference to Philip K. Dick. Naturally, that required a tangential deep dive into current youtube offerings. Happily, I’ve discovered several more interviews and bios have been added since my last foray.

Examples:
Number one: Philip K. Dick: Philosophical Pulp Poet – “a writer who rode the Multiverse and saw different realties—and sometimes lived them.”

Number two: The 9 prophetic visions of Philip K. Dick – “a visionary prophet for the age we’re all now living in.”

Number three: If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others (The “Metz Speech”). [In his description, I see parallels with Plato’s Cave.]

Number four: Jeffrey Mishlove and James Tunney. [Includes reference to Plato’s Cave]: Philip K. Dick, Aliens, and the Afterlife, PKD “developed a friendship with the late Bishop James Pike, who wrote extensively about mediumistic communications with his deceased son.” After the death of Bishop Pike, PKD thought he was communicating with him.

In September 1967, Pike participated in a televised séance with his dead son through the medium Arthur Ford, who served at the time as a Disciples of Christ minister. Pike described these experiences in detail in the book.

The Fog ... connect the dots. Synchronicity

“When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.” - Kahlil Gibrán, Sand and Foam, Goodreads.


The synchronicity thing is in overdrive.

"May you live in Interesting times" ... It would seem this is that kind of time. And the origin of THAT saying is not as has been implied. The suggested origin has yet another synchronistic tie to our present day scenario. Quora.

• I noticed recent dots connecting when I began watching the a Missing 411 Documentary on Youtube. I had already seen the segment on missing Hunters and several elements of that were very familiar, reminding me of a conversation: Jocelyn Buckner [Sedona, Bradshaw Ranch] talked about stepping into a different dimension an odd experience when she ventured off the path with her friends and crossed to another section of the trail. We had two interview sessions and both links are included on a previous Blog post.
  
  Jocelyn said it was just a short distance and she had an unobstructed view of her companions. She thought they could see her but they seemed oblivious and didn't respond to her conversation. When she retraced her steps to return to a previous location on the path, they asked where she had been and told her she had been gone for a longer time than what she experienced.
  
  Two elements: While she could still see them, she was invisible to her fellow hikers and their sense of time was not in sync. I am paraphrasing but the story is in our interview.
  
• In one Missing 411 case [The Hunted], searchers reported being able to hear a voice while being unable to locate the source. In others, items of clothing were found in areas far from where the person vanished or would likely have traveled.
  
• Connect that to the series One Step Beyond and the Encounter [UFO] episode. About a pilot who said he had taken pictures of something that came "right out of the cloud" (Fog?), then the pilot vanished. Search was hampered by a storm. Rescuers sighted strings and thought they found a parachute. There were unexplained strings but they were not part of any parachute. And no body. Four days later, the pilot was located, sighted by his parachute. He was a thousand miles off course. Recovered shortly after he was sighted, he did not survive. The Doctor at the scene attributed the cause of death to extreme fright.
  
• Experiencer John Foster's books detail his memories of ET/Alien contact since the 50's and the trauma he underwent when he realized, at age 48, all that had been happening since childhood that he had "forgotten" ...
  
  His story started with a memory of grade school encounters in Nebraska. Fog is a major player as many of the encounters involve crafts, beings, time shifts and entire scenes or landscapes manifesting from fog.

• Fog plays a starring role in Bruce Gernon's Bermuda Triangle experience. He also documents  time shifts.

Yet another type of "Fog" -
Sent to me by a friend. Stanley Hotel.

Monday [9/23] started with a beautiful clear sky.
I noticed the stars were incredibly bright at 5 am.
The outline of the partial moon was a luminous sliver.

Shortly after 6 am, monitoring the morning traffic rush, everything changed.

Patches of extremely dense fog moved in and parts of the metro area went to zero visibility in minutes.

Fog had cleared when I walked out to the parking lot. Then I saw the front license plate on car parked directly in front of mine: FOG.


One more link. Reviewing my blog that morning, the magic word Synchronicity popped up in Michael Prescott's blog, content he had pulled from his archives.

The message with the various "fog" scenarios? No matter what seems to be happening - fog has different properties and, in some cases, serves a different purpose.

It can be weather related. However, taking reports of experiencers (me too) into account, it can also represent a dimension shift that affects our experience of time. And the more odd and unusual occurrences that are documented and publicized the more evidence we have that our reality is quite capable of hiding things in plain sight. Fog.

Bruce Gernon has clues as does John Foster and there are clues among the Missing 411 cases. All are experiencing extraordinary events while under the influence of something we tend to categorize as ordinary uneventful nothing-weird-happening-here fog.

One more clue? So very curious is the child who is recovered in that aforementioned Missing 411 Documentary on YouTube. The toddler was missing for 3 days. Searchers who were ready to shift from search to recovery were completely gobsmacked when - out of the fog - walks the little girl. Unharmed and unexplained.

We are living in interesting times.

Forecast/ prediction: Given the scenario as presented with this combination of synchronicities?
The fog is clearing. Clarity. 
Fascinating revelations coming.
