A few notes on Hurricane Harvey relief efforts on behalf of the non-human victims - Rescue Organizations out-of-state are stepping up to assist with Animal care. In preparation, many shelters had arranged to ship out their adoptable pets to make room for incoming animals. Example: Atlanta Journal Constitution

Providing a personal account, National Geographic photographer Erin Trieb documented her experience moving her Mom to drier ground as the water began seeping in. Mom had three dogs.

She then waded through chest-deep water to get to her sister's house and described the scene in her Nat Geo story: "I can only remember hearing the chirping of frogs," she said. "Birds were quiet. The wind wasn't blowing hard. There was a strange and still effect all over the neighborhood." Her video, posted on YouTube.


I remember the flood we were in (Mom, my brother and I) when I was in grade school, about 8 years old. Water left everything coated with several inches of mud. Ruined the car, furnishings, appliances, clothes, toys - house. Mom cut her foot, stepping into my bike wheel (unseen and blocking the entry door) when she carried us out of the house through chest-high flood water. Coming down the stairs from my upstairs bedroom, Mom had to coax me to get into her arms in the cold, muddy water. I looked over to see the refrigerator door standing wide open, light on, water half-way up the door. Ketchup and condiments lined neatly in the door shelf, surreal. Memories like that fade but they don't go away. We walked up the hill to the neighbor's dry house. 20 minutes later, the water had gone. Mom lost everything.

Connecting a few dots here, I'm not the only one who has experienced paranormal activity in addition to a UFO/ET encounter. Joining me on Wendy's Coffeehouse/KCMO Talk Radio is Rey Hernandez, an Experiencer (listen to the extraordinary story of how the family dog was healed) and one of the co-founders of FREE, The Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters. Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast Link  Rey has the most recent results of the FREE survey and details about the upcoming book, due in 2018.

As for Rey's story, we've covered that in previous interviews on Conscious Living. Here, Rey talks with Michael Harrell of the Disclosure Gift Project. 2016



Rey mentions multiple sightings and experiences with people in white robes. My experience happened in the early 90's. I heard faint conversation at the end of the bed. Woke up to see two individuals in robes discussing me while looking at a chart. One of the two - I could not see faces - said, "She's awake," and they vanished. I am still curious about that event but my biggest question: What was on that chart?  

In the interview with Michael, Rey referenced Dr. Claude Swanson's book, The Synchronized Universe. I have two of his books and interviewed Claude several years ago in conjunction with an appearance in Topeka, KS. Very helpful and worth reading.

A few basics about FREE:
- FREE is not a Ufology organization. The purpose is to explore the possible nature of “Consciousness” by examining the role and impact on one’s reported spiritual and behavioral transformations as facilitated through various extraordinary experiences.

- English language research data results from Phase 1 and 2 has recently been published in the Journal of Consciousness. To date, over 3,500 subjects have participated in the English Language Phase 1 survey from over 110 different countries. Surveys are also running in Spanish, German, French, Slovak, and soon in Cantonese Chinese.  

Coming soon - the book: Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence

Reality Chequered - Messages, Mediums and Websurf Divination

“Ours is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind.” - Marshall McLuhan, The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man, The Mechanical Bride, Marshall McLuhan Estate




How did I get to the above info? Twitter: I follow Callum Cooper, Telephone Calls from the Dead/Amazon, and did a quick search to follow his latest activities. 

That led to a long read he had bookmarked on StrangeHistory: The Earliest Telephone Call from the Dead. Found more than one item of interest in that piece, including this one: source. Another referenced a book called, The Automaton Ear.

Curious, I searched and came up with this post on books, NYTimes, detailing the fascinating story of Marshall McLuhan and that review opened up several important issues -

Example: In "Understanding Media," McLuhan suggests that electric modes of communication--telegraph, radio, television, movies, telephones, computers--are similarly reshaping civilization in the 20th century. Whereas print-age man saw one thing at a time in consecutive sequence--like a line of type--contemporary man experiences numerous forces of communication simultaneously, often through more than one of his senses.

"All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perception and arbitrary values."  - Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media, 1964

• Marshall McCluhan's Biography: Brainpickings 
• Wired: Why McCluhan Matters 
• On the 2017 (upcoming) CBC 7/28/17 Broadcast: Globe and Mail 
• The Guardian: Douglas Coupland on McCluhan: "It's cliche at this point, but if McLuhan is known for anything it's "The medium is the message." MIT.pdf. But I wondered what happens when the message doesn't matter, or, as we're seeing it, what happens when people don't care if the message is a lie?" 
• Google Doodle - McCluhan/07/22/17 
• Overview of McCluhan's history and influence on our timeline. pdf
• Notes on the most recent retrospective of his work: McCluhanGalaxy.wordpress
• Audio of Marshall McCluhan at Official Site for the Estate

Knowing vs. understanding. Def: Philosophy. It would seem there is a huge level of Tech Blindness in our ability to discern knowing and understanding regarding the subtle and pervasive influence of Media beyond use as a sales tool (in all forms). 

- Suggest Social Media Under-the-Influence-Ignorance Danger Zone now sits at a Yellow Tango level. Stepping on toes is part of the scene. Stopping is an option. Music stops. No harm, no foul.

- When and If this engagement morphs to Social Media Under-the-Influence-Ignorance Bull Fight Red level, music is irrelevant. Conditionally enraged Bull's sole purpose is take down. No discussion, no argument. Dancer in fight garb has not been trained as he considered the Bull a source of entertainment until the door opened to the ring.

Odds are, the game is not what it seems. 

McCluhan's bread crumbs? Learn about media in multiple forms and the purpose behind it: to engage energy (to shift behavior/emotion). In his words, "By knowing how technology shapes our environment, we can transcend its absolutely determining power."

The good fortune for HI (Human Intelligence). All things are possible.

Phone calls from the Dead? McCluhan died in 1980 but he foresaw the issues now front and center in our timeline. How interesting the Medium fueled an information redirect via Twitter.


Tangential association: Callum Cooper also authored Conversations with Ghosts, about acclaimed Psychic Alex Tanous.

Shortly after reading that book, I had a visionary encounter. Took me by surprise but I had no doubt about the identity of the person who came walking toward me with a long stride and sense of direct purpose. Dressed in black, he had the distinctive mustache and a very deliberate gaze. It seemed he had something to give me and I automatically held out my hands. He smiled and, making no attempt to speak, handed me two items.

Ever-present, manifesting in each and every thought.   

I don't remember the position at the moment but, in one hand he gave me a wrapped present. White paper with a red bow.

In the other hand he gave me a celery heart with the beginning stalk just starting to bloom. I realized later that was an image I posted as an icon a few years ago and had photographed while trying to start celery from the leftover celery heart.

He turned and went back to a dark colored car that I cannot describe because it happened too fast.

My interpretation. The future is in our hands. What we do with the present is up to us. Manifesting our creation with each and every breath, we are capable of so much more than has yet been acknowledged. Our minds are endowed with extraordinary potential. Ref: Ingo Swann - Super Powers of the Human Biomind

Learning to work with and upgrade conscious knowing and intended thought in the present state is the challenge. To avoid recreating a past, escape the seductive embrace of the nostalgic and envision a solid and fully fleshed out (Utopian) future. Sci-Fi has been enthusiastically seeding this area (toying with dark and light aspects) for decades and the results are evident. Level up!
