Coronavirus info links and for sanity's sake - entertainment - diversions for shut-ins

"For decades Bigfoot, Mothman, Chupacabra, Aliens, and Ghosts have been teaching you about social distancing ...don't let their lessons go unappreciated." - John E.L. Tenney (Twitter)


You Were Born Psychic - interview available in the podcast archives. Wendy's Coffeehouse.

Joan Scibienski's aunt had witnesses and corroborating evidence to an event where she bi-located. She didn't ever repeat the act to that same degree but the fact she achieved it made a lasting impact on Joan. Not to mention her prediction of the JFK assassination. She tried to warn the authorities, but it only served to make them suspicious about her.

Humans are under educated and definitely under utilizing their psychic skills. Joan is setting up a group for those interested in expanding their own PSI awareness with the goal of  working to help shift the world in a positive direction. Explore The Circle. Connect with Joan.

Regarding Coronavirus links - I am a radio traffic reporter, and one of the few employees who now reports to work on site. We had just moved into new studios. It is incredibly odd to be in such a wonderful space with a skeleton staff. I anticipate traffic will become lighter and just as necessary to report that status as the days progress. 

A former news anchor/reporter, I chose to exit that role after 2001. However, news is a regular part of my morning. I started following this story with the first posts by the whistleblower Doctor (now deceased) in China. He alerted the rest of the world to a crisis in simply trying to warn his fellow healthcare workers. Another Doctor is also being censored. The Guardian.

US cases are now starting to compound. Numbers started in the tens, jumped to hundreds and have quickly moved to thousands. We are beginning to mirror the rest of the world. 

The global number count link is on the upper right sidebar TFN, and adjusted throughout the day: John's Hopkins.

• Situation is dire in Italy. As of 3/16/20 - Monday, 2,158 people had died and 27,980 been infected by coronavirus in Italy – the second highest number of reported cases and deaths in the world behind China. Local official reports [Marco Resta says] that 50% of those with COVID-19 who are accepted into intensive care units in Italy are dying, compared with a usual mortality rate of 12% to 16% in such units nationwide.

• Still on - my interview with Terry Lovelace. He carries a souvenir (alien implant) from his encounter in 1977 and had no intention of going public. I am glad he changed his mind. As with John Foster's experience, there is no way to force revelation from a thing that operates under the radar and has the ability to remain invisible until it chooses to make itself known. Experiencers are the point of contact for an enigma we have yet to fully accept and address. Incident at Devil's Den.

Paranormal Rabbit holes for shut-ins ... Reality diversions - bent, warped, derailed. Truth, fiction, fantastic.

- real and unreal -

Paranormal, Unexplained, Glitches in the Matrix are included in various posts.

These sites are like opening a fresh bag of potato chips. You end up eating more of the bag than you intended. In search of new ideas to explore and view reality - something in these threads usually opens a new window.

The following story is edited for length. Typos and original language intact. Includes one related comment and link to full story.

• First time anyone but my girlfriend of 4 years has heard this story. Unexplained.
  Read abbreviated edit here or link to full story and comments.
  
  "I will change names of any people involved but the places and road names will be factual... I've never shared this other than with her until now because although I have belief in paranormal events to a certain extent,(aliens,ghosts, certain legendary creatures etc) I'm not the type that just believes every story to be true or want people to think I've lost my mind.
  
  It was early summer 2010 (I only remember because my 21st birthday had just passed and was finally legal to hit the bars) it was a friday night and I was up having a drink at a bar that my cousin David was the bartender at. It was a small town bar that outside of an event like a band or other entertainment was there it usually stayed pretty quiet.. it was very early in the evening and I had just gotten out of work for the night working at a mcdonalds in another small town less than 10 miles from the small town I lived in.
  
  I'm sitting up looking at the red light waiting for it to change (which always seemed to take absolutely forever coming from this direction) when I noticed something in the sky that from my vantage point was partially hidden directly behind the red light. It was a very bright white light that seemed to be pointing straight down almost like it was a helicopter using a spotlight to identify something but much much brighter at the point of origin.
  
  I heard absolutely nothing after rolling my windows down and knew this could not possibly be a helicopter or I'd absolutely be able to hear it.. Wanting a better view I pulled into the parking lot of an ice cream shop that sat directly across the road from the school I was nearby and got out of my car to try and figure out what this thing was. When I got out of the car I stared up into the sky and immediately found it again.
  
  It couldnt of been a plane because it didnt have the right shape. It was more oval than anything (most stories you hear like this say its circular) but it was definitely an oval shape. I almost thought perhaps it was a blimp given the shape. But it seemed far too large to be a blimp even by the measurements of some everyone knows about like the Goodyear blimp... plus it had no decals or identifying Mark's. Either silver or grayish..
  
  After what felt to me about 30 seconds or so of looking at this thing my eyes started to burn... not burn in the sense of extreme burning or anything like that. But almost like that feeling of when a bug flies into your eyes and causes them to water up..
  
  I close my eyes and begin to rub them. My eyes are closed at this point so obviously all I see is black.."

  Related Comment: The way you describe the light shining downward like the searchlight of a helicopter is exactly what I experienced about four years ago. It was around 5:15 am and I was outside in dumpster area at work. I looked up and saw that bright triangular shape light. I thought it was a helicopter but there was no sound and it was hovering high above the gas station area. I turned to toss the trash in the dumpster. When I looked up again (which was only mere seconds), the light was gone and there was no helicopter or any flying object in sight. Strangest thing I had ever seen but I shrugged it off as I had to go inside and relieve my coworker.

• Cat Teleporting - Glitch in the Matrix. Link to story and comments.
  
  "This morn, before I went to work, I made our bed and the top cover was smooth. 12 hours later, I returned home and went into the bedroom and found top cover rumpled like the cat had been on it. Even found a few grains of cat litter on our bench at foot of bed.
  
  Now, my wife and daughter are several hours away and have the cat with them. I took a picture and sent to my wife and made a joke about cat must be teleporting because the bed was smooth.
  
  My wife informed me, in all seriousness, that the cat was missing for a couple of hours, then just showed up again. She has always been an inside cat and they checked everywhere. Even looked outside in the snow and saw no tiny paw prints. They just could not find her.
  
  I find this very weird and my wife concurs. Seems too much to be a coincidence and there is no other cat in house, we have just the one. Something glitched?"

  Related comment: Cats have a tenancy to do that. I think I posted about one of my cats being in two places at once a few months ago.

• Personal experience: Glitch in the Matrix - Cat Doppelganger 
  "Walking past the living room to another room when I noticed my calico cat Chloe posed in such a way that I wanted to take her picture 'because she looked so photogenic in her green collar with a pink heart' until a I did a double take after passing and on the way to the camera and remembered - she doesn't wear a collar. REFUSED to keep one on.
  
  In the less-than-a-minute it took me to retrace my steps for a second glance, I realized she could not have been in the position I saw her. The back frame of the chair would not support her so she would have been levitating to have been in that position., about 4 ft. above floor level. I didn't register her as levitating. She appeared to be sitting and directly facing me.
  
  When I returned (a few seconds later) she was in the chair seat and not facing in my direction.
  
  Having had other anomalous encounters, I have logged it a screen memory to protect me from what I might have seen. And yet, the collar was an intentional hint. Was I paying attention?
  
  Chloe levitating in a non-existent collar was a harmless image. And a unique method of taking my pulse. What did I not see? "

• Reality Glitch in the Matrix Philip K. Dick was unable to resolve kept him occupied for the rest of his life and resulted in Exegesis (Amazon). Forever impacted after encountering the pink light.
  
  Referring to a blog post authored by Kyle Arnold:
  
  "Dick wrote that one aspect of his divine madness was “paranoia turned inside out.” Where he had formerly perceived malign conspiracies, Dick now often saw divine conspiracies. As the end of his life approached, Philip K. Dick increasingly considered that the universe might be on our side." - Continue reading on the Oxford University Press Blog.

Heads up on the longer form interview in the podcast archives. One hour with Margie Thompson,  sharing her story to help others who have lost a loved one to Suicide. Link.

Finding Color in the Darkness. Goodreads reviews.

Signs were there, painfully obvious in retrospect. Depression and Bipolar Disorders are still difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat.

Margie is advocating for better awareness and improved treatment options for children and teenagers who might sometimes be included in programs designed for an adult population.

After the grief subsides, the soul connection strengthens - but the physical loss requires an adjustment. As Margie's focus now is increasing awareness to consider treatment of mental health issues just as important as physical medical conditions, her son John remains an important influence.

That connection is worth exploring and even now - a work in progress.

Preview on Amazon

We continued talking after the interview and Margie told me about an incredible consultation with a Psychic who gave her proof of contact that defies explanation.

She booked an appointment a year in advance on the recommendation from a friend. Curious, she found a Facebook live event that had been given in December. She was watching in February.

Specifics given by the Psychic included the name "John"
and significant (to Margie and John) dates. Also apparent the deceased was determined to connect at that moment.

Even better, when Margie finally connected for a reading, the Psychic asked if this was a repeat session. Margie said it wasn't.

Then the Psychic said, "Oh, I remember, I've met your son John."

John is present on this page - in the book cover. It would seem their contract is set to continue, bridging corporeal separation while showing tremendous potential to grow the soul beyond the seeming divide. Heart links are unbreakable.

Then he saw - photographed UFOs and needed to 'reformat his hard drive', as it were. UFOs are REAL? Other unanticipated challenges include encounters with MIBs and military fly-bys. Previous blog post.
• 3/8/20 Podcast Archives. New interview: PSI Extra - Margie Thompson, 1 hour, no commercials. Finding Color in the Darkness, Losing a son and finding a new path.
  
  Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a loved one. Self doubt, second guessing and self blame are all part of the story. In trying to come to terms with her son John's death, Margie saw several psychics. While some were able to make a connection, one offered incredible validation. A friend suggested a popular medium but she was booked. The alternative was her niece. Also said to be very gifted.
  
  Margie booked an appointment a year out - questioning herself but curious. She discovered a previous Facebook live event with that Medium. Tired, ready to sign off, the Medium was bothered and said she needed to relay a message. Someone named John. Date and clues for Margie. Recorded in December. Margie saw it February. Subsequent interview. The Medium asked if they had met before because something familiar. Margie said no.
  
  Then, the Medium smiled and said, "Oh, that's it. I met your son John."

*3/5/20 - First morning doing traffic at the new studio. Engineers wrapping up. No clue how to operate TV. Someone pre-set Travel Channel: Ghost Adventures previews. I don't have cable. Totally caught up with Zak and the gang ... everywhere a demon.

"The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M. Vikoulov

-

From the Indiegogo Campaign (closed) for "The Syntellect Hypothesis"

"To understand is to perceive patterns" - Isaiah Berlin

All organisms, from one-celled bacteria to humans, live in different perceptual realities, in their own "virtual worlds". Your body is a collection of trillions of cells and microorganisms. While a certain process in your body is "unconscious" to you, it is an interaction within the network of entangled conscious entities in your body, having their own conscious experience, at their own layer of existence. 

The whole symphony of existence arises from a set of rules, and we start to uncover one of its deepest secrets - the multiversal fractality of networks of networks of networks of conscious entities in both directions, up and down, seemingly ad infinitum. The ability of future "self-aware" superintelligent machines and enhanced humans alike to instantly transfer knowledge and directly share experiences with each other in digital format will lead to evolution of intelligence from relatively isolated individual minds to the global community of hyperconnected digital minds, the Syntellect.

Symptoms of Evolving Minds - Experiencers/Contactees have noted the presence of Alien/ETs includes telepathic interaction that can't be blocked. Physicist Deep Prasad is a recent example: Unexplained Mysteries

Gary Wimmer says his experience of personal telepathy overwhelm was so debilitating he begged his spirit guides to make it to stop. The subsequent close encounter with a car (hit him broadside) cleared his intense telepathic interface with a bonus. No accompanying physical trauma. Unexplained, but maybe quite ordinary for those who have reported transcendent PSI, Mind Enhancing, Cosmic Consciousness, Kundalini awakening experiences termed Spiritually Transformative Events. [Common challenges. ACISTE.]

Two telepathy-plus instances I can describe - one just this past weekend - suggest we have tremendous latent PSI abilities that may or may not fully manifest without additional instruction or stimulating catalyst.

1. My husband and I were on our way to an event and as I approached him I thought I only caught part of what he was saying. I heard something unintelligible followed by "...in the wallet" and I asked him to repeat what he said.

He responded that he had not said anything. I said I heard something about a wallet but didn't catch the whole thing. Then he told me nothing was said out loud but he was thinking about something he needed and it was in his wallet.

I heard a portion of a sentence that was fully audible as if he was speaking directly to me.

2. Another occasion involved a podcast. The producer on the other end of the line was recording the show. I heard him swear. After the show, I reminded him he needed to edit that part out. He asked me what part I was referring to. I repeated the phrase. He took a moment and said it was a thought but he never said it out loud. And the kicker, even if he had, his mic is not on during recording.

He was a bit concerned about that - like what else I might be picking up on and I reassured him it wasn't something I focused on. However, it happens and it is uncomfortable. I have inadvertently said things a person next to me was thinking without realizing and then felt quite embarrassed because it clearly wasn't my 'normal' dialogue. I quickly departed to distance myself from the event.

3. I've also experienced telepathic connections with animals.

I am not the only one noticing these anomalies. Others have confided to me about certain PSI abilities they would like to have better control over. I do believe this is evidence of the evolution of consciousness. We are a collective representation of a higher mind. Whether we know it or not.

Just arrived - Preserving the Psychic Child, the unpublished manuscript written by Ingo Swann. That interview will air on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM on March 22, and upload to the archives after the show. Wonderful instruction. Helpful for all ages.

Preview on Amazon
 - don't panic - the price will change.

Part Eight, The Psychic Child's Sense of the Infinite:
"Super-gifted psychic children show an interest in deep philosophical and spiritual subjects at a very early age."

"If we accept the idea that a particular psychic child's telepathic bonding is not submerging, but in fact is enlarging to include other psychic awarenesses
outside the relationship between the child and the parents,
then we must also assume that the child is trying to establish logical meanings for the universals with which the child is in increasing contact."

I am looking forward to the interview (with Ingo's niece/The Estate of Ingo Swann) and finding out
if there might be other gems stashed away in the archives,
waiting to be released.

We are - as is all that we connect to - more than what is witnessed on the physical/manifest plane - evolving/growing into expanded awareness.
