Paul Davids - CIA Mind Control, LSD, Zen and MK-ULTRA ... fractured programing

"One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World


A quick recap -


What if you were part of a study you were never supposed to remember? Fine print: no one told you that part. Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview - Paul Davids talks about his experience in the 60's. Blowing American's Minds - A true story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen.

When Paul Davids and John Selby were college students at Princeton in the 60's, they volunteered for a research study that turned out to be part of a secret CIA Mind Control program. MK-ULTRA details at The Black Vault. The study combined the use of psychedelics, popular at the time, and deep-level hypnosis.

Led to believe the sessions would aid consciousness expansion, spiritual awareness and, the kicker: better sex, they signed on. At the time, Psychedelic research was in vogue and funded by seemingly reputable sources. One of the high profile names touting the benefits of LSD Therapy at the time was Cary Grant. WFMU.org  Omitted fine print for the study would have noted the CIA involvement.

Paul Davids - Bio and Credits Link  - Includes 'Roswell: The UFO Coverup' and 'An Atheist in Heaven: The Ultimate Evidence for Life After Death.' (The Sequel)

Ram Dass talks about Timothy Leary - from Paul Davids' film, 'Timothy Leary's Dead', IMDB  -



Paul and John provide an intimate footnote to this part of CIA MK ULTRA history and unlike some of the other research subjects, some who were uninformed about their part in the study, they survived relatively unscathed.

Some of those negative stories are tragic. One incredibly chilling application tested was referred to as 'De-patterning', using a combination of sleep and electro-shock. 

Paul and John suggest they wanted to tell their story earlier but various factors, some personal and others, including difficulty in accessing background information due to the secrecy of the program and the institutions involved, made the information difficult to recover.

Each became caught up in the program and each responded differently. Mind control prompts included attempts to wipe memories and keep the information suppressed and it seems that was overcome.

Makes for an interesting read and raises questions about current methods of mind control (world wide) in use as a result of information gleaned from those studies and others like them. Worth knowing to better understand one's vulnerability to mind programming of all sorts, period.

Who do you listen to? What stories are you running? Who is informing your choices? Is there anything important you might have forgotten? Might you have a sensitivity to trigger words? If such programs are effective - how would the public ever know? Every decision you make is a programming choice. Stay curious. 

Curiously, it was only through an odd case of misfiling that the MK ULTRA program was ultimately discovered and revealed. And that's another story.

"You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go, well... anywhere at all." - Stephen King

And so it is. One of the most memorable days for me was the time we stepped out and everything had shifted. I was given a telepathic prompt that this would be the case and not to telegraph that our experience was unusual. It was during that time I saw people with horns and tails. I later discovered and interviewed another person who experienced something similar: Jonas Elrod. HuffPo

From that time forward, I opted to steer clear of those people. It isn't a thing one can easily forget. - The explanation given was they were focused on material things and that colored their view and influenced their appearance on the spirit plane. It was highly disconcerting.

John talks about Experiencer Christopher Bledsoe. Strange things are happening. We have no explanation for these events. They simply challenge us to reframe our beliefs and expand the known. It's a transformative process, unique to each and every one who has these encounters. We are living in an amazing time. Chris tells his story on YouTube

Trending UFO headlines suggest 2018 might be ushering in a bold new attitude: They're here.

"Resistance, however, is useless." (1939) - A. E. van Vogt


September, 2010. Six U. S. Air Force officers shared their stories in detail at a National Press Club Event. Organizers hoped their efforts to produce credible evidence and military officials as witnesses (Leslie Kean/UFOs) would nudge the UFO phenomena into mainstream dialogue and prompt official disclosure ...crickets...

The New York Times broke the story, 12/17, on the secret Pentagon UFO Study (Leslie Kean again) and it quickly went viral. The difference is a bonafide Pentagon secret UFO Study corroborator. Note: dates given imply the secret Pentagon UFO study was underway (2007-2012) at the time of the UFO National Press Club event in 2010.

With the continuation of personal revelations and stories increasingly highlighting the global audience bearing witness to these encounters and events, we may simply allow, no matter how incredible the circumstances are, the need for an informed public.

After all these years and numerous reports in dribs and drabs, documenting extraordinary encounters and sightings on all continents, denial is wearing thin.

NYTimes writer Dan Barry says his dad believed in UFOs. Lack of official government disclosure wasn't a deterrent.

Love and Saucers - The film demonstrates why experiencers are at a disadvantage in trying to get the word out on their story at the outset. When the topic is taboo, ridicule is a good silencer. Add another brick if experiencers have to remember a thing they have been programmed to forget.

Might be foggy at first, but when they do puzzle everything back together, their stories force a reevaluation of our reality.

Ars Technica offers a wonderful review. Preview the film. Available to rent or buy.
To discover such an activity can happen in the midst of our "modern" society gives one pause, suggesting we are dealing with a presence we have little to no ability to thwart nor track. Given that scenario, it follows we are ill prepared for outright confrontation on any level.

Key for the experiencer, acknowledging the fact of this presence offers one very important component, validation. (As such, an awareness that he/she isn't crazy.) If support were part of the landscape more experiencers might fork over details that we have yet to uncover/recover.

Compiling available data may not provide the answers and definitions we hope but it will certainly allow for greater opportunity to face the issue knowing details are important and the ability to retain as much as possible might further enlighten us as to the purpose and scope of the activity.

Worst case scenario #1 - designated a pet planet, we are given special status as long as we provide sufficient resources (open to interpretation) and clean up our own fishbowl.

Possibilities are endless.

Therein lies the bugaboo with Disclosure. Lacking real answers, quantitative proof, ability to discern the true source or sources for our encounters or equal footing with the perpetual bevy of guests/visitors, Disclosure opens a bigger can of worms than it solves. As a bonus, it also requires someone at the top level of government willing to own the title of UFO Expert.

Quoting Senator Harry Reid (Twitter): "If anyone says they have the answers, they're fooling themselves." - Washington Examiner

Highlighting Wendy's Coffeehouse interview archives, is an ongoing fascination with the UFO, ET, Owl connection. Other animals might also factor in (one example is Deer), but Mike Clelland demonstrates a compelling case for owls. Show 4/2/17 Mike Clelland.

Synchronicities - Mike talks about the crazy stuff that happened for him in 2009. My experiences were also incredibly odd that year. It helped having Andy with me to affirm the events. 1997 was another incredible year. Owls do factor in on more than one occasion but a standout is the time we went to (our only time so far) a UFO Conference in Texas. We saw an incredible large, white owl flying overhead.

James Schwartz uses his method of Alchemical Hypnotherapy to help clients access spiritual guidance in whatever form manifests for the highest good of the person involved.

One of the most surprising sessions detailed in the book involved a woman who had been very resolute in her determination to avoid religion. The guide who appeared to offer assistance to her? Jesus.

Guides who manifested for the clients represented a broad spectrum, including angels, alien entities, future incarnations, mythical creatures and animals. A repeating message from the guides: There is no such thing as time.

We work with time on the Earth plane but, on the expanded awareness playing field, the guides say it does not exist. Some of that was experienced in the sessions as the guides often demonstrated to the client how it might feel to visit another realm and encounter other life forms or beings there. Those travels, while they might have registered as movement within a certain time frame, could be instantaneous.

Removing time from the equation validates the shamanic experience but it messes with our current application in our daily lives and long-held beliefs of how time works. Another perspective echoes the wonky time factor and offers illustration: Beyond Past Lives

Fascinating encounters like those James shares from his clients challenge the consensus world view, inspiring reexamination and further exploration. Interested in finding out more for yourself?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Truth just landed.

Weekend headlines delivered a HUGE Christmas present: Pentagon/UFO bombshell reveal. YES, the US does follow-up, track, research and investigate reports and sightings of UFOs. Status and contact for current program uncertain/unavailable/undisclosed. Not a surprise.


In mainstream news media, this is Disclosure.

Congrats to Leslie Kean: 10/11/2017 HuffPo who, in her story on the launching of the Tom DeLonge project, To the Stars Academy, suggested a potential for increased public awareness: "This could represent the beginning of a trend towards a new openness on the part of the U.S. government. These people know more than any of us, and they will be releasing important data on UAP in the future."

The New York Times (Leslie Kean and co-writer Ralph Blumenthal) broke the Pentagon UFO story Saturday and chain reaction headlines blew up the newsfeed. Raw Story picked it up. Reuters tagged on.

Bonafide viral - quickie interview on CNBC -  MSNBC interview with Ralph Blumenthal on the schedule (Sunday 12/17/2017)



AOL followed suit. As did the Washington Examiner. And CNN carried it forward.

On CBS’s “60 Minutes” in May 2017, Robert Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that U.F.O.s have visited Earth. Excerpted from that interview:

CBS News Correspondent  Laura Logan: Do you believe in aliens?
Robert Bigelow: I'm absolutely convinced. That's all there is to it.
Lara Logan: Do you also believe that UFOs have come to Earth?
Robert Bigelow: There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence. And I spent millions and millions and millions -- I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.
Lara Logan: Is it risky for you to say in public that you believe in UFOs and aliens?
Robert Bigelow: I don't give a damn. I don't care."

Doesn't hurt that his grandparents saw a UFO.

Go a bit further with the UFO adventure and spend time with Boyd Bushman. Some suggest he had nothing to lose in confessing his experiences at Area 51. Consider or not. He describes telepathic communication with Aliens. (Having experienced it first hand, there is no mistaking telepathic presence. Feels like it is coming from inside your head.)

Engaging awareness through Shamanism -

Lynn Andrews and Robert Taylor are co-creators of the Sacred Oracle Cards, available on Amazon and on Lynn's site.

Lynn and Robert join me for two interviews. I am so glad to have been able to talk with both of them for Wendy's Coffeehouse 12/17/17 and Conscious Living 12/13/17. You'll hear something different in each show as we have plenty of material to work with. My notes in this post include references and links related to both shows.

Lynn Andrews, known to many for her Medicine Woman series, now in the 46th printing, has some 20 books. In four decades of work, Lynn has traveled the world and trained alongside a diverse group of medicine women, as such, developing a treasured archive of shamanic wisdom.

The Los Angeles Times: “Andrews’ narrative opens a window onto an aspect of Native American culture seldom explored. Her portrayal of the pre-eminently sacred role of woman and the traditions that keep their ancient wisdom are remarkably accurate.”


In Lynn's own words, “To me, shamanism is about light, and when I say light, I mean making the world a better place. It is an understanding that there really is a power in prayer, truly.

And no matter who it is that you pray to, if you pray with your heart, you can change your own life, choose what happens in your life and how it turns out. I think we have the power to do that."

Sacred Vision Oracle Cards are
also interactive. Read here.

The cards I pulled for the day were perfectly in sync with the content. One of the themes is Observation. Try a sample 3 card read.
The cards I chose are featured in the photo.

So much ground to cover, we hit a few highlights. Lynn speaks about the purpose of the new cards and her collaboration with Native Artist Robert Taylor.

She also emphasizes the importance to her in working with women on self-worth and spending quality  time with the group that is close to her heart: Sisterhood of the Shields.

Robert's artwork deftly interweaves the shamanic element into this deck through color, symbol and metaphor. Each design is capable of triggering knowing beyond the image. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective.

In the companion book, Lynn provides the interpretations for the meaning of the card and Robert addresses the nature of the visual he created. Images and energy merge to combine the two talents in a wonderful fashion. This is not a contemplative deck, rather, it is a catalyst for change and active engagement, an energizer to get the ball rolling on whatever issue is ready to be examined. 

Robert Taylor's work is currently on exhibit at the University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art through December 30, with 60 pieces on display. OU. He was recently profiled in the Oklahoma Gazette. Including more background on Robert's unique painting style, from 1997, read this feature in Southwest Art.  Follow Robert on Facebook

When I repeated what I read in regard to the teacher who asked Robert why he insisted on painting Indians, he said the language in that conversation was quite blunt. The teacher asked why he chose to paint "savages". Robert left the class and took another path to acquire his skills.


There are many ways to respond to a hurt, a slight, a slur or an insult and then there is your way, the one that sets you on your journey. As Lynn says, these cards are intended to help quicken the connection to the work at hand.

I appreciate the stark contrast presented in the characters on the cards to the purposeful use of color, enlivening the animal messengers and symbolism. There are hidden meanings and code in the image creations, combined with Lynn's words, the cards inspire introspection, spontaneous knowing and deeper connection communicated within the image. 

In working with the imagery, I have already had a very powerful vision. One of the characters in the cards made an appearance in the dreamtime as I was drifting back to sleep. Funny thing, I forgot it until triggered later in the day by the sight of geese flying overhead.

The vision colors and imagery involved vivid jewel tones and a pose very much like that Buffalo and Prairie Dog. I have been visited by a new teacher. The door is open and the adventure is calling. Am I ready to explore? What is life if not an adventure for explorers? The cards work.

"Remember the world is shaped by the dreamers NOT the critics." - Robert Taylor
