Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Tricia Barker - Angels in the OR, NDE 

"I was an agnostic. I was like, okay consciousness survives. But then I saw the angels and I was like, What is this? This is different! This is otherworldly! I felt like a kid. They were so unexpected!" - Tricia Barker, NDE

It doesn't matter that Tricia's NDE was in in 1994, the awe and excitement is still in her voice when she talks about seeing the Angels. Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation, Amazon. 

Amazon Author Bio: As a college senior at The University of Texas at Austin, Tricia experienced an extraordinary near-death experience after a massive car wreck. In the afterlife, she learned that she must change her plans and work as a teacher. Tricia’s near-death experience story has been featured on A&E’s I Survived: Beyond and Back and covered by National Geographic.

Amazon Review: Chris Brethwaite 5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written memoir centered around an exceptionally profound NDE - As a former IANDS (The International Association for Near-Death Studies) chapter head I have read a slew of NDE books over the past forty-some years. Tricia Barker's "Angels in the OR" is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Not only is her book beautifully written, but her mastery of the English language allows her to overcome the ineffability problem of describing an indescribable experience to a far greater extent than most experiencers.

Connect with Tricia.

Dining with Ghosts sold out this year. 2017 Weston Ghost Encounter - during the last night of the event, at the end of the evening, as the staff was cleaning up, someone was heard coming up the stairs. The footsteps sounded heavy and a large person was expected. No one appeared.
 
Earlier in the week, Verna said a woman who looked quite confused, told her she saw and felt a woman walk quickly past her in the hallway to the restroom but the door didn't open and the bathroom was empty.

That same tourist had her hair pulled by something when she went downstairs and then vacated the building to look in through the window. She returned as her friends searched with their cell phones trying to get a response or a glimpse of the ghost. They asked if the ghost was in the pictures on the wall. The woman said, 'Yes, that's her', and quickly departed for a final time.

She identified Creola [deceased former owner] as the woman she saw. Verna said the women had been ghost-hunting in Atchison with no results. Weston delivered.

Sci-Fi and Paranormal. Parallels beyond Time. The Polaroid "Ghost"? Ghostwriter remains an unsolved manifest tour de force from "Wright"

“The ufo is nothing more than an assertion of herself by the Goddess into history, saying to science and paternalistically governed and driven organizations: You have gone far enough. We are going to turn the world upside down. Your science is going to be shown up for what it is, nothing more than a pleasant metaphor usefully extrapolated into the production of toys for healthy children. That's what science is good for. >It is not some meta-theory at whose feet every point of view from astrology to acupressure to channeling need be laid to have the hand of science announce thumbs up or thumbs down.” - Terence McKenna

Mind of the Maker
 
Did Philip K. Dick disclose the real matrix in in 1977? Video link: Open Culture.

Series of extracts (source) from one of Philip Dick's essays written in 1977 entitled "If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others":

Philip K. Dick. "...I submit to you that such alterations, the creation or selection of such so-called 'alternate presents' is continually taking place. The very fact that we can conceptually deal with this notion - that is, entertain it as an idea - is a first step in discerning such processes themselves. But I doubt if we will ever be able in any real fashion to demonstrate, to scientifically prove, that such lateral change processes do occur. Probably all we would have to go on would be vestiges of memory, fleeting impressions, dreams, nebulous intuitions that somehow things had been different in some way - and not long ago, but NOW. We might reflexively reach for a light switch in the bathroom only to discover that it was - always had been - in another place entirely."

Mr. Dick speaks of a period in his own life where he "remembered" another reality in which he had just existed - a reality of a "prison." He was unaware of the fact that this was what he was writing about in Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.

Dick says: "The world of Flow My Tears is an actual (or rather once actual) alternate world, and I remember it in detail. I do not know who else does. Maybe no one else does. perhaps all of you were always - have always been - here. But I was not. In novel after novel, story after story, over a twenty-five year period, I wrote repeatedly about a particular other landscape, a dreadful one. 

In March 1974, I understood why. 

... I had good reason to. My novels and stories were, without my realizing it consciously, autobiographical. It was - this return of memory - the most extraordinary experience of my life.

...You are free to believe me or disbelieve me, but please take my word on it that I am not joking; this is very serious; a matter of importance. I am sure that at the very least you will agree that for me even to claim this is in itself amazing. Often people claim to remember past lives; I claim to remember a different, very different, present life. .

...I rather suspect that my experience is not unique; what perhaps is unique is the fact that I am willing to talk about it." Continued. Link.

Paranormal visitations

2019 YouGov poll numbers show 45% of Americans believe in ghosts. Adding the political element. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to believe in Demons and Vampires. More than one-third of Americans (36%) say that they have personally felt the presence of a spirit or ghost. Just over one in ten (13%) Americans say that they have communicated directly with a ghost or spirit of someone who has died. Source.

Ghostwriter, Amazon
Ghost Photography

'Wright' - is the name claimed by the enigma who could
manifest actual letters and words on polaroids.
At one point the question was asked - where is Wright
when he is not appearing as a 'ghost'? The answer was 'flux'.

That leaves a lot to the imagination. And it does not provide
an answer to the real question. What is 'Wright' ...

The type of polaroid camera and the film used to capture
the messages from 'Wright' have been discontinued -
shutting down that method of interaction. But further communication may simply require another novel method
yet to be introduced. Is digital film a possibility or
has 'Wright' retired?

There have been multiple attempts to explain, define, debunk 
and refute the case. None successful.

Several thousand polaroids exist to stir the pot. Writing on the polaroids happened in the presence of witnesses on multiple occasions over a period of years. Author Joe Augustyn researched the case on site and was present to corroborate many events. He says most of the pictures in this book are being shared for the first time.

John Huckert lives in the "Wright" house and says paranormal activity is a constant presence. Our interview is posted in Wendy's Coffeehouse. He talks about several different types of supernatural encounters. However, the ghost writing experience is outstanding by far - in the fact that it delivered physical evidence of contact from another realm.

Ghostwriter is a fantastic example of what is possible when a door opens to the infinite and fear stands aside. 

According to The Daily Star, there are some 12 thousand photos with messages from the ghost. The book features several photos and provides translations of the messages. A novel feature: the ghost is multi-lingual.

One exchange resonates for me. Again, these answers are written on the polaroid images.
Question for Wright: “When might you show yourself to us?” 
Response: “When you are ready.”
Questions continue: “When will we be ready?” “What is stopping us?” 
Response: “Your fear.”

There is a wonderful example of that fear issue in the book. One guest decided to show up at their Halloween party dressed as the Grim Reaper. Page 173. The ghost had extra fun with him.

Ghostwriter: The Polaroid Ghost and Other True Tales of the Paranormal
by Joe Augustyn, Amazon
Preface by Dan Aykroyd
Foreword by Bill Murphy
Essays by Mary Maruca
With over 150 Polaroids, most never before seen.
Background from the website: On Friday, February 5, 1993, the Fox TV reality show SIGHTINGS examined what may be a landmark discovery in parapsychology: convincing evidence that ghosts exist and can actually communicate with us.

The ghost or spirit calls himself “WRIGHT”. He shows signs of erudition and intelligence, writing many of his messages in Latin. The ghost first appeared on film in March 1992.

Synchronicity - Paranormal Encounter on the home front

Personal side note. We had an unexplained early am house call on the day the Ghostwriter book arrived, 9.8.21.

Jack (dog) wanted out. 2:30 A.M. He headed for the door – then went on full-attack-mode-barking-frenzy. Andy rounded the corner in time to see Jack chasing a shadow figure. He said it looked more like a dark cloud blob thing than a human figure. It was about the same height as he was but there was no form to it. It glided through the room and seemed to exit through the front door but he lost track in the dark room.

Imagine my surprise a short while later - when talking to John Huckert - he mentioned frequent sightings of shadow people in the 'Wright' house. I regard the experience in our house as an affirmation - like a handshake - the enigma is checking in. This extra segment includes that conversation: Link.

Doesn't mean it will stay or that further contact in that manner is implied. It is simply the process of dots connecting. Reality check. We exist in the superficial layer. Realty operates at a deeper level. Shadows manifest for us to acknowledge the presence and wonder about all that and more and to imagine what else might exist in this reality - flying under our radar - encouraging us to question, evolve, grow and know more.

A ghost is a ghost - except when it is isn't. It might something we have yet imagine.

Matthew W. Johnson @Drug_Researcher · It’s official. I just receive a U01 grant from NIDA to study #psilocybin for tobacco addiction. To my knowledge it's the 1st grant from the US government in over a half century to directly study therapeutics of a classic #psychedelic. New era in legitimacy of psychedelic science.

Lisa M Christie, PhD @LisaChristiePhD · We don't really exist as separate entities. We are a process comprised of other processes. #ProcessPhilosophy

Estate of Ingo Swann @EstateIngoSwann · Both imagination and waking dreams need to be defined since Western culture disbelieves in the vital reality of imagination and is uninformed of the function regarding waking dream processes.

Variations in Flux
 
Very difficult to identify the Matrix and to notice each and every foreign element from within. The guides gave me a dream scene to ponder years ago. It compares to the blind men and the elephant parable. Wiki

They showed me a section of huge metal sheet with holes in it. The sheet curved but it was so large I only saw the portion directly in front of me. I 'knew' (assumed) it was a colander. But it was impossible for me to find a way to view the entire structure to confirm that assessment/assumption.

I thought one possibility was if there were a way to create a mirror and see the object in the reflection. I didn't have a mirror. 

The guides responded. One who is unable to see the entire scene is forced to work with that disadvantage - to address the issue from one point of view. All else is conjecture.

It took me years to get the joke. At this level - on the manifest plane of reality - we are dealing with a sheet full of holes.

That which is seen in our limited view ... is a ghost of the real thing. 

They have a wicked sense of humor. To give them credit - they have also saved my life. I listen. I question and I learn.
