“We have the capacity to receive messages from the stars and the songs of the night winds.” Ruth St. Denis

New in the Podcast Library 

Interview with Dr. Bob Davis - Wendy's Coffeehouse - Executive Producer: The Consciousness Connection.

Bio. - "Dr. Davis’ research efforts, lectures, and interviews vary across many disciplines with a focus on consciousness, the brain, parapsychology, and unexplainable extraordinary experiences reported by millions worldwide."

Author of three books: Unseen Forces: Towards an Integration of Science, Reality, and You (Visionary Living, April, 2019), Life after Death: An Analysis of the Evidence (Schiffer Publishing, 2017), and The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe? (Schiffer Publishing, 2016).

We cover the UFO experience, the shared NDE, and his mind boggling - earth shattering - reality busting Kundalini experience. Happened totally out of left field and turned his world inside out, upside down and sideways.

Experiencers - the real thing

UFO Film Submitted by Yes Theory on YouTube. “We believe that life’s greatest moments and deepest connections exist outside your comfort zone.”

• “A few months ago Ammar heard about an incredibly strange event in Massachusetts on September 1st 1969 where several people that didn’t know each other from the same town claim to have been abducted by aliens on the same evening."

• "The story seemed so surreal and otherworldly that we had to go speak to the people directly… Here are their stories. What do you think?”

Bonus: The Experiencer who says Netflix couldn't persuade her to return to the sight of her abduction. She does for this crew and the result turns out to be cathartic. 

The way ahead 2022 – foretelling

The guides are prompting me – my night dreams have shifted with the day. Clocks are stopping. Lights flashing. Computers freezing. Tingles on my body.

I am given the instruction to use [color] light blue to assist in healing – whatever method applies – meditation or surrounding my environment with shades to reflect the tones and elevate my being.

Seating myself in the dream to watch the dancers come to the floor. Something magical this way reveals – in being. Aloft and flowing – dancing the dream to light. 2022 has a few surprises in store.

Anomalies and Enigmas

• The Yardbirds' drummer writes about his late wife. “At first she suggested a blog, so that people might understand what I was going through. Because I was very, very passionate about finding out what happened to her after she died. Then I decided a book was best.” Edmonton Journal.
• Magic, myth and secrecy. Link. “On the afternoon of October 24th 1917, four days after my marriage,” wrote Yeats, “my wife surprised me by attempting automatic writing." Contd.

Dreams, Plants, Caffeine, UFOs, Dogs, Portals and Sci-Fi Roy

“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.” – William Blake

Who is it that stands beside my bed and whistles when I try to take a nap? Who creates the sound of the phone ringing when my phone is on silent? What is the message? Why am I sleep walking when I would prefer the dream walk?

Ringing in my ears continues. Sometimes I can ignore it. But that whistle thing is new. Timing. Something's coming. I am not supposed to sleepwalk through this next phase. Even if I think I am awake - I am asleep and the goal is to help me wake up. Is it working? The Chloe Incident highlights a dreamer in the daytime - sleepwalking and wide awake.

 

To boldly go -

• Shortcut volunteers. Wormholes are calling. Link.
• Your Mind on Plants. Specifically: Caffeine, Mescaline, Opium. Interview with intrepid researcher Michael Pollan. First the GQ interview.
  
  Then here - "Pollan realized that if purchasing poppy seeds from a garden catalogue was in itself innocent, it became immediately illicit if they were grown in knowledge of their opium-producing qualities.
  
  When a lawyer read his article pre-publication it seemed he might be risking 20 years in jail and a $1m fine. Some swift edits were made, and the full piece is published here in its entirety for the first time." - Source.

• Difficult to track UFOs when 'ordinary' doesn't work. Sightings are unique. "Captain James Howard in 1954 sketches a UFO he and his crew observed from their British Overseas Airway Corporation Boeing 377 Stratocruiser." Twitter user Alien Gray says "The way he describes how it vanished is what I have personally observed." Source. 
• NASA Rocket as seen through Northern Lights. SPLooooof.
  
  Time out for caffeine .... 
  
  
• "We cannot impute causality, and say 'drinking more coffee or tea is good for your brain.' What we can only say is that in this study, people who reported moderate coffee/tea drinking were less likely to have a stroke or dementia occur in the 10 years of follow-up," Schwamm said. *Sipping past fine print to: Coffee and Tea - a winning duo.

The Dog advantage 

• Your Dog is calling. CNN.
• Clearly, Dog has your number. Link.
• NOT your dog. "A chef cooks his breakfast each morning made of the finest meat, fresh vegetables and rice. Sometimes he enjoys caviar, but there’s never any kibble in sight. He travels by private jet, works on obedience skills daily with his trainer and sleeps in a lavish round, red velvet bed overlooking the bay." If only he were mine. His house is for sale. HuffPost. 
• And that story is bogus .. AP retracted it .. NYPost. Heavy Sigh.

Dreams

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Carl Jung 

My recent interview with Dream Interpreter - J.M. DeBord. "One heck of a dream interpreter!" - George Noory, Host of Coast to Coast AM. 

Marking a decade as Reddit Dream moderator “RadOwl“ - where you are invited to check out some of the dreams and/or share yours.

• Prefer a video introduction? Dreams 1-2-3. Youtube.
• Reddit link to the Dream that saved Matt's life. Also featured in the podcast he hosts with Steven Ernenwein.
• They interviewed me too. When the Men in Black Speak, You Listen.

My dream this time carries a unique symbol: A Cicada.

We don't go there but I kind of like the wiki definition:

The cicada is an animal replete with symbolism: recurring themes are

resurrection, immortality, spiritual realization and spiritual ecstasy. For the Ancient Greeks and Romans they sang ecstatically, were sacred to Apollo and related to the dionysiac bacchae and maenads.

No hurry - still working with this dream.

  Facebook comment from a KS MUFON investigator: I believe that a MUFON case I investigated in Columbus, KS last spring - 2020 - may also be an area of interdimensional activity. The witness has experienced multiple phenomenon and I even took a picture myself of what appears to be a face emerging from an amorphous cloud. I'm still in contact with him and he just sent recent videos that defy logic. They're unlike anything I've ever seen. The area is in what's known as the Spooksville Triangle and I feel it is worthy or serious scientific investigation.

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.
