Wendy's Coffeehouse - #1 podcast listens for 2016 = John Perkins

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman/Wiki



Yes, 2016 flew by. Wendy's Coffeehouse shows are archived for listening at your leisure. AudioBoom Link. Great way to cap off the year. 30 shows/1K listens. A magic repeating number: 33.333 

What's with the shows that appear to be shorter? Minus commercials. If you have yet to check one out, start there.

• The most listened to program, as of 12/30/16, belongs to John Perkins. (Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast 8/27/16)

Once again, John Perkins dazzles with New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. When he first went public with his story, he says his daughter assured him she would follow through with disclosure of the information if he was taken out. Really. This is explosive stuff.

Front, center and shadow, shady politics are a key component. Some might find it hard to believe, given the depth of the revelations and the risks involved in publicizing the information, that John is still alive. At least one poisoning incident took a toll on his physical health.


The new/updated version of his story includes additional footnotes, evidence and substantiating documentation. It isn't pretty. Far from a MIB, UFO conspiracy thing, this story underscores and outs the gritty, behind the scenes, in the trenches work of a "shadow" element that follows up to ensure compliance with "business" deals that are, from the outset, incredibly one sided.  

*A link for my other interview with John Perkins - Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio. 

In a recent blog post, John talks about his work with the Kogi and the latest trip to Columbia that he says might just become a new book. He relates his current focus. He continues to atone for events he got caught up in and could not prevent all those years ago. However, without his knowledge and involvement, the information would not have come to light.Video interview about his recent trip: YouTube Link


Positive but hard challenges lie ahead. John-Perkins-Blog/Message from the Elder Siblings 

Echoing once again, "a message of hope, one that says we can transformer ourselves from societies that adhere to systems that threaten to destroy us to ones that will sustain us and future generations."

Compilation wrap up time for an incredible 2016. For the last show, we sample four shows from the Wendy's Coffeehouse podcast archives. Each offers an example of how, at any given moment, life can deliver an extraordinarily paradigm shift. I had one in 1997.

Amazing things are happening to every day people on our planet. Even a glimpse of those experiences is an opportunity to open a window to a new view and a potential new engagement with reality.

Here's a bit of lengthy, detailed, intense and current science on that. The Unified Field and the Quantum Nature of Consciousness: Ecstadelic.net

12/24/16 Wendy's Coffeehouse - It's a Wrap! Archives are open 24/7
Wendy's Coffeehouse [Audio Boom/podcast archive] 
 
I selected topics for this final show that highlight transcendence and personal encounters with the unknown.

Overview: 1/Miracle survival and recovery from a near fatal accident delivers a bonus in the after effect: desire and ability to heal others. 2/Close Encounters with UFOs and Unexplained. 3/Animal Communication ability triggered by falling off a horse. 4/Near Death transformation inspires a doctor to become a concert pianist.

These are powerful stories from people who have experienced, in some form, an amazing life calling or redirect. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to connect and to share them.

Background info on each of the four segments is featured in the contact links and the links are also posted for the entire interview segment highlighted by the original date of broadcast on KCMO. 

• Rosalyn Berne fell off a horse and into her role as an interspecies communicator 8/20/16, When Horses Whisper, You Can Hear them

• Doug Heyes almost died in a ski accident. 8/13/16, Miracle on the Mountain He recovered and discovered he had also acquired the ability to heal others. Through his book, The Touch/Amazon, he shares some of the wisdom he acquired along the way:
  
  
  • "My master Dr. Wu once told me the secret to mastery of qi gong is to keep doing it and doing it and doing it.
  • My Kung Fu Grandmaster Don Baird says it takes ten thousand repetitions of a move to begin to claim mastery of it. Dr. Yuen put it this way: “When we first start doing this work, we do a great deal to achieve minimal results. As we progress, we do less and less to achieve more and more. Finally, as we become masters, we achieve our most dramatic results by doing nothing at all.” Let’s all bow in. It’s time to train." Source: FindhornPressBlog
    

• Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Cark is a Story Collector. 9/20/16, UFOs, Sky People and other encounters with the unexplained are the focus and this segment included a very interesting meeting with a man who claimed to have found a way to travel the planet via portal. Still in her vast collection, a few hundred stories waiting to be shared. However, she says her next project is a children's book. 

• Dr. Tony Cicoria developed an obsession for music after he was 11/19/16, Struck by Lightning. After twelve years of study and practice, he is now a Doctor and a Concert Pianist. When Oliver Sacks wrote about Tony in The New Yorker in 2007, the cat was out of the bag and the world came calling. Link: A Bolt from the Blue
