Paul Davids - CIA Mind Control, LSD, Zen and MK-ULTRA ... fractured programing

"One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World


A quick recap -


What if you were part of a study you were never supposed to remember? Fine print: no one told you that part. Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview - Paul Davids talks about his experience in the 60's. Blowing American's Minds - A true story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen.

When Paul Davids and John Selby were college students at Princeton in the 60's, they volunteered for a research study that turned out to be part of a secret CIA Mind Control program. MK-ULTRA details at The Black Vault. The study combined the use of psychedelics, popular at the time, and deep-level hypnosis.

Led to believe the sessions would aid consciousness expansion, spiritual awareness and, the kicker: better sex, they signed on. At the time, Psychedelic research was in vogue and funded by seemingly reputable sources. One of the high profile names touting the benefits of LSD Therapy at the time was Cary Grant. WFMU.org  Omitted fine print for the study would have noted the CIA involvement.

Paul and John provide an intimate footnote to this part of CIA MK ULTRA history and unlike some of the other research subjects, some who were uninformed about their part in the study, they survived relatively unscathed.

Some of those negative stories are tragic. One incredibly chilling application tested was referred to as 'De-patterning', using a combination of sleep and electro-shock. 

Paul and John suggest they wanted to tell their story earlier but various factors, some personal and others, including difficulty in accessing background information due to the secrecy of the program and the institutions involved, made the information difficult to recover.

Each became caught up in the program and each responded differently. Mind control prompts included attempts to wipe memories and keep the information suppressed and it seems that was overcome.

Makes for an interesting read and raises questions about current methods of mind control (world wide) in use as a result of information gleaned from those studies and others like them. Worth knowing to better understand one's vulnerability to mind programming of all sorts, period.

Who do you listen to? What stories are you running? Who is informing your choices? Is there anything important you might have forgotten? Might you have a sensitivity to trigger words? If such programs are effective - how would the public ever know? Every decision you make is a programming choice. Stay curious. 

Curiously, it was only through an odd case of misfiling that the MK ULTRA program was ultimately discovered and revealed. And that's another story.

John Selby has been exploring Meditation and Consciousness for years. I found his work in a piece he contributed to the book Kundalini Rising. Through continued research John has discovered excellent insight on enhancing meditation and developed an app to assist. Extra credit for meditators - John's Books on Amazon

Thank you for listening and for following Wendy's Coffeehouse.

Benefits of having a curious mind? The perks are unlimited.
Cheers to you!

"You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go, well... anywhere at all." - Stephen King

And so it is. One of the most memorable days for me was the time we stepped out and everything had shifted. I was given a telepathic prompt that this would be the case and not to telegraph that our experience was unusual. It was during that time I saw people with horns and tails. I later discovered and interviewed another person who experienced something similar: Jonas Elrod. HuffPo

From that time forward, I opted to steer clear of those people. It isn't a thing one can easily forget. - The explanation given was they were focused on material things and that colored their view and influenced their appearance on the spirit plane. It was highly disconcerting.

Back to the extraordinary in relationship to UFO experiences. 

I found a fascinating conversation posted on Facebook. UFOs, Spoonbending, Firewalking, Ghosts, Little People. John Alexander talks about his book Reality Denied, Anomalist Books

John talks about Experiencer Christopher Bledsoe. Strange things are happening. We have no explanation for these events. They simply challenge us to reframe our beliefs and expand the known. It's a transformative process, unique to each and every one who has these encounters. We are living in an amazing time. Chris tells his story on YouTube

There's just something about seeing astronauts watch The Last Jedi ... in space.

Trending UFO headlines suggest 2018 might be ushering in a bold new attitude: They're here.

"Resistance, however, is useless." (1939) - A. E. van Vogt


September, 2010. Six U. S. Air Force officers shared their stories in detail at a National Press Club Event. Organizers hoped their efforts to produce credible evidence and military officials as witnesses (Leslie Kean/UFOs) would nudge the UFO phenomena into mainstream dialogue and prompt official disclosure ...crickets...

The New York Times broke the story, 12/17, on the secret Pentagon UFO Study (Leslie Kean again) and it quickly went viral. The difference is a bonafide Pentagon secret UFO Study corroborator. Note: dates given imply the secret Pentagon UFO study was underway (2007-2012) at the time of the UFO National Press Club event in 2010.

With the continuation of personal revelations and stories increasingly highlighting the global audience bearing witness to these encounters and events, we may simply allow, no matter how incredible the circumstances are, the need for an informed public.

After all these years and numerous reports in dribs and drabs, documenting extraordinary encounters and sightings on all continents, denial is wearing thin.

NYTimes writer Dan Barry says his dad believed in UFOs. Lack of official government disclosure wasn't a deterrent.

Love and Saucers - The film demonstrates why experiencers are at a disadvantage in trying to get the word out on their story at the outset. When the topic is taboo, ridicule is a good silencer. Add another brick if experiencers have to remember a thing they have been programmed to forget.

Might be foggy at first, but when they do puzzle everything back together, their stories force a reevaluation of our reality.

Ars Technica offers a wonderful review. Preview the film. Available to rent or buy.
To discover such an activity can happen in the midst of our "modern" society gives one pause, suggesting we are dealing with a presence we have little to no ability to thwart nor track. Given that scenario, it follows we are ill prepared for outright confrontation on any level.

Key for the experiencer, acknowledging the fact of this presence offers one very important component, validation. (As such, an awareness that he/she isn't crazy.) If support were part of the landscape more experiencers might fork over details that we have yet to uncover/recover.

Compiling available data may not provide the answers and definitions we hope but it will certainly allow for greater opportunity to face the issue knowing details are important and the ability to retain as much as possible might further enlighten us as to the purpose and scope of the activity.

Worst case scenario #1 - designated a pet planet, we are given special status as long as we provide sufficient resources (open to interpretation) and clean up our own fishbowl.

Possibilities are endless.

Therein lies the bugaboo with Disclosure. Lacking real answers, quantitative proof, ability to discern the true source or sources for our encounters or equal footing with the perpetual bevy of guests/visitors, Disclosure opens a bigger can of worms than it solves. As a bonus, it also requires someone at the top level of government willing to own the title of UFO Expert.

Yes, I have had my own experiences. Discernment is key.
