Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Phyllis Galde


Editor in Chief, Phyllis Galde was no stranger to paranormal phenomena when she acquired the magazine.

She grew up in a haunted house and had many encounters with the unexplained. We talk about that. Some of her stories.

During the relocation the original website crashed.

The Fate Magazine website has been redesigned and the original links for this post no longer exist. The is the general Link

She said it scared her silly when she was 5 years old, of the ghost that visited her in her bedroom. She was so afraid she  ran out and jumped into bed with her parents.

Her Mom understood her interest in the paranormal. Indeed, she was told later that her Grandfather died in the room. They held seances. A few dots began to connect.

Phyllis shares her encounters with Fairies and ETs. I add a few of my own. If you've never read Fate Magazine, sample a few stories and or Subscribe at connect.

We also mention Species Link Journal - I submitted a piece for this recent issue on the topic of 'what extinct animal would you choose to bring back'. My answer addresses that topic but I don't advocate bringing back an extinct animal.

SciXFriday - REAL Sasquatch, REAL UFO and REAL Unexplained ... You're Welcome!

"It's time to address the core issue. There is a phenomenon that no one officially wants to talk about. Thus society lives inside a false reality." - US Airman John Burroughs

"What I once believed is no more, and what I've witnessed, defies all that I have ever imagined." "I am truly in awe over the whole incident, and no one can fully understand the magnitude, of such an event, unless you were there." - Sgt. James Penniston, Interview with ABC Television 2005

• IMPACT - Rendlesham Forest Incident. Listen to Charles Halt via BBCyoutube
   
• Bentwaters/Rendlesham - in describing the incident, this witness notes the lack of sound being very disturbing, she also talks about a unique plastic-like material recovered from the scene, Captain Lori Rehfeldt/YouTube

Is winning a medical settlement related to a UFO (Rendlesham Forest) encounter a game changer? Follow the bread crumbs, you'll discover this entire matter is, intentionally, a very tangled web.


US Airman John Burroughs knows what he saw and has the physical results to back it up. Video I used to reference his comments is unavailable. Of the content that had been available this statement sums it up best: It's time to address the core issue. There is a phenomenon that no one officially wants to talk about. Thus society lives inside a false reality. 

FYI - John sites the importance of Project Condign - Reference the PDF

Side note: The information cited in the Condign paper also gives credence to the Delphos, KS encounter, and my own sighting, 2013, where the craft shifted, in an instant, from being inside the house to outside the house where I could still see the lights through the mini-blinds. Instantaneous.

Not only is the truth out there, it's all around. Hidden in plain view - because that's the easiest place to discount/deny.

Annie Kagan, 9/10/17 - The Afterlife of Billy Fingers

“To be a pearl maker, your oyster needs a good strong shell to protect you from a hundred million irritants in your environment. Your shell helps you tell one grain of sand from the other. You know which one can become a pearl and which one isn't worth the irritation.” - Annie Kagan, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death 


Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Annie Kagan - The Afterlife of Billy Fingers (He's got a new POV about life in the hereafter. Annie started taking notes from the first moment he checked back in.)


OddsnEnds -

• Evidence for Life After Death? Lots of info in this article by Scott S. Smith, scroll toward the end of the article to find: pet ghosts. HuffPost

• Timing on this title - No coincidence. The Water Will Come, Jeff Goodell
    

Annie Kagan, Author, The Afterlife of Billy Fingers has had tremendous success with her book on life after death. Here's just one example of the glowing recommendations she's received. --

Dannion Brinkley (who woke up in the morgue after being struck by lightning) is the bestselling author of Saved by the Light:  "The Afterlife of Billy Fingers reaffirms the NDEs experiences of the light and love I encountered on the other side. It's an engaging account of the transformation of the spirit and I highly recommend."


Annie had been taking a break from media when I requested an interview but the timing was great so we had a chance to recap all that has happened since she started hearing from her deceased brother. No matter what it sounds like now, after a few years of integrating and becoming more comfortable with the process and confident in the connection, the initial event still required a significant mind shift.

From personal experience, there are a lot of mixed emotions involving wonder, curiosity, euphoria, questioning one's sanity, to name a few. But the continuity and the routine, combined with information so personal that only the person who shared those moments with you could really provide the intimate details, helps the relationship gel. Everything changes.

That's what happened. Everything changed when Annie's brother checked back in to report on his new surroundings. His sense of humor is intact. Here's the book promo for Annie's Bestseller -



Does she still hear from Billy? Yes.

Read the first chapter: link

From a 2013 interview with Annie - Hamptons Neighbor:

"Billy has reminded me that we are literally made of stars, that the intelligence that runs the Universe is available to us. The same intelligence that breathes our breath and heals our wounds and beats in our hearts also gives birth to stars and galaxies. As Billy says, when you imagine the infinite, you're touched by the infinite itself."

• Eye spy? - Other planets might have a view of Earth. Are they watching? Current science says those we know about who could see us - are uninhabitable. So, it's possible. PhysOrg

• Cat swamped. Got marooned when the flood water came up. Hero to the rescue UPI 
• Documentary out now: The Devil and Father Amorth. IndieWire. William Friedkin says shooting a real exorcism was "Terrifying." Variety  Some are worried publicity on this topic might create the need for more exorcisms. HuffPost
  
  Friedkin did the The Exorcist in 1973. "Amorth's favorite film was The Exorcist. He thought it substantially correct and based on true events, although the special effects were exaggerated. In an interview with the London Sunday Telegraph, Amorth stressed that "People need to know what we do." [5]" - Wiki
  
  Because of the rating, my Stepfather took me. It was a sell out crowd. He was mortified. Told Mom afterward he had no idea what he had agreed to. I (also) thought it was wildly exaggerated but I liked the supernatural element and knew that part could be real.
  
  Revisiting the subject from a different vantage point gave Friedkin an opportunity to dive deep into the topic and explore various viewpoints and case histories.
  
  Worth reading, he writes about the experience in Vanity Fair and includes commentary from a discussion on exorcism amongst leading US Psychiatrists. Jeffrey Lieberman, director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, had an up close and personal encounter he can't quite explain, including paranormal activities at his house.
  
  What does become more apparent in reading the backstory and comparing notes offered by the Psychiatrists, none are quite so willing to dismiss it or label it a hoax as might have been the case in 1973.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast with Dr. Richard House


Dr. Richard House (*also a Bee Keeper) says he didn't quite know what to make of it when the voice told him he was going to die at age 33. He was a teenager at the time and, yes, he believed it but went on about his life not knowing exactly what could be done about it anyway.

Between Now and When details the story of a man who had all the right stuff, the external signs of success as epitomized by Western standards, upper class lifestyle, material wealth and accompanying  social circle. He also had a drinking problem so severe it initiated the NDE. What happened after the NDE is the real story. So that's where you get to check out the book and the interview.

The metamorphosis of Dr. House is very much like the story told about the Butterfly on NPR. It seems that the elements required for part two of Richard's life were present and embedded within prior to the transformation. A hint about that aspect is given when he is 7 years old.

The elements could not, however, become visible and active until he underwent the metaphysical and physical metamorphosis required to trigger the manifestation.

His story involves a profound connection to Indian spiritual master, Meher Baba. Here's another Butterfly metamorphosis story from Radiolab: Goo and You


A few words from Dr. House -



Link for the book Amazon

The butterfly/human as two beings in one container parallels are there. Richard House is still Richard but his life orientation is quite the opposite of that initial path. And the best part, he has another manuscript that maps out the metaphysical landscape he experienced while engaged in an illuminated spiritual journeying state. Hoping he pursues a publisher for that too!
