Offbeat Summer Paranormal Destinations, UFOs, Ghosts, Levitating Rocks or a Past Life opt out

Exploration of the cosmos requires more than a curiosity about the anatomy or inner workings of the parts and pieces, or the elements. It requires the ability for abstract thinking in order that we may eventually discover the whole. And that also includes rediscovering the whole we think we already know. - Talking to Nightlights

hours before our arrival.

A large log managed to find itself in a tree.

Photo doesn't do it justice. Happened overnight and the log is some 12 feet above the ground, wedged in the tree branches.

I was originally drawn by reports of light anomalies. They indicate unusual electromagnetic energy and that had my attention. Read the book for details: Beams.

Given the ongoing activity since the book was published, Cheryl says they could easily add another book. Activity at the (Beams) event site created this magnetized coffee can.

Synchronicity and Fortune Cookies 

Exit Kia Soul. Just like the predecessor (Accelerator stuck and rammed into the third floor parking garage support beam. - Thank-you support beam!), the car gave up, requiring immediate financial tap-dancing.

We were on a trip and traveling in two vehicles when the engine began faltering, with sound effects.  Quick detour to back roads and straight home.

Enter Dealer summary: Frowny face = New engine + BIG bill.
Result: New (to us) car = The one used car on the lot with (jaw drop) 86 miles.
Fortune Cookie: Humor and
Impeccable timing.

Now the kicker. After the fact, we read the fortune cookies I had picked up on the way to the dealer - when we were hoping/praying/manifesting/trusting/allowing (yep, every bit of that) for a positive prognosis.

That deceased car (Soul) was my perfect ride. Color, style, price/used and timing/emergency. No matter that I did not want a different car, there had been an odd sound and an engine light indicator that suggested things might not be well.

Complicating that engine light reliability is that it also acts up when a ghost hitches a ride. Stayed on for a few weeks after a friend died and turned on the brake lights for extra emphasis.

She's the one who gave me the lottery ticket result of 'notify kin' as we sat in the lot down the street from her apartment. But I digress.

The current potential derail would be increased travel, requiring reliable transportation. Bye-bye old Soul. You were the ideal answer when we needed you. (I now talk to my cars.)

Somewhere, there is a higher source - steering this adventure. Apparently, we will be needing extra cargo space for our new phase. Onward - this amazing journey.

Mom broke her foot (again) last week and was dreading the inconvenience of a cast. Doctor said the X-ray showed a serious break in the ankle that would require rehab with limited mobility. Told to stay off the leg to let the swelling go down in preparation for getting a cast, we spent the weekend with her to help keep her mostly sedentary. (A word not found in her vocabulary).

Dropping her off at home, still in pain and worrying about the swelling, she said a second X-ray was planned before the cast would be put on. Given that scenario, we talked about visualizing an outcome that allowed the ankle had healed or the original diagnosis was incomplete. She still had time to shift the scene before her appointment.

Update the following afternoon. Apparently, they tried to delay her appointment to the next day but it didn't work with her schedule so she got to see a different Doctor. (The first Doctor was actually ill that day.) The new X-ray gave an upgraded result. The break was less severe and would not require a cast. She could instead wear a boot and retain her mobility.

Something had indeed changed. Rather than be upset at the first Doctor for missing the diagnosis, it might be that the first Doc told her exactly what she needed to trigger a response that allowed the foot to recover. She might not have been as motivated without the initial, dire prognosis. The Universe gave her a pass. And so it goes.

"All of human knowing is

Eben Alexander, M.D.
"In matters of science, the authority of thousands is not worth the humble reasoning of one single person." - Galileo Galilei

His discoveries with the telescope revolutionized astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the Copernican heliocentric system, but his advocacy of that system eventually resulted in an Inquisition process against him. Britannica

Interview with Eben Alexander and Karen Newell, Wendy's Coffeehouse

Dr. Eben Alexander's NDE was a game changer, gaining national exposure and attention due to a couple of crucial elements. One: His status as a Neurosurgeon offered credibility. Two: The fact his vital signs were monitored during the process offered new insight into what transpires in the physical body while one who appears to be dead - experiences conscious awareness on another plane.

Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven detail and explore that account. A refresher (or an intro if you are unfamiliar with his story), Dr. Alexander also includes the summary of his NDE on his website: "My experience in Coma."

For more in depth information, watch the 2014 presentation provided by the Theosophical Society. The conference theme was "Science and the Experience of Consciousness." Listed among the presenters were physicist Amit Goswami, consciousness researcher and psychologist Dean Radin, physicist and psychic researcher Russell Targ.



Fast forward to Living in a Mindful Universe. Book three is a collaboration with Brainwave entrainment innovator and co-creator of Sacred Accoustics, Karen Newell, seeking to merge Science and Spirituality.

Chapters in the book address moving beyond Materialist Science, trusting personal experience and learning soul lessons.

During our interview I previewed a sample of the Sacred Heart audio from Karen's Sacred Accoustics library. The free 20 minute audio sample Karen mentioned is here. I will be following up in a second interview with Karen to talk more about the specifics of her audio work.

One of the perks with the book is a Free 33-day course. Link to the 33 day Journey into the Heart of Consciousness. You can also join Eben and Karen for a Weekend Retreat - Sept 2018 - Journey into the Heart of Consciousness.

Wendy's Coffeehouse - Previous interview with Eben: Proof of Heaven in the NDE

“To experience thinking outside the brain is to enter a world of instantaneous connections that make ordinary thinking (i.e those aspects limited by the physical brain and the speed of light) seem like some hopelessly sleepy and plodding event. Our truest, deepest self is completely free." - Eben Alexander, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

    He counts four UFO sightings: “Two specifically were definitely aerial constructs of some kind,” Aykroyd explained. “One of them with a light, and one of them dull gray, and they were structures – one of them going very slow, one of them hovering over me.” Interviewed on the HuffPost Show, 04/20/15, Dan references Bruce Maccabee's book, UFO/FBI Connection.

-- "We made signals at them with a flashlight and they replied," he stated. With full conviction and certainty, Chief Alvarez went a step further and added that extraterrestrials "are members of the Pleiadan civilization" (sic).

"They choose whom they want to make contact with in these displays, regardless of the individual's social, cultural or religious status. Godoy is much involved with phenomena of this type," said Alvarez. 

"I went to the site immediately and felt great excitement. I have had many contact experiences with extraterrestrial craft, but this is the first time that a video has been recorded in which they can clearly be seen to greet us. We were in material contact with the ship," he added.

"What's happening to me is wonderful. But I think it's also a warning to humanity due to the wars and the use of nuclear and chemical weaponry," he observed. Regarding the sighting on the Rosario River area, he explained that the craft were over some trees, some fifteen meters tall. "They have allowed themselves to be recorded and documented in order that everyone may be aware of this display and eyewitness testimony." Read the full post. --


It took awhile for me to realize I was also experiencing contact because it blended in with all of the other paranormal encounters.
Point of reference - mid 1990s. I was given a telepathic message that said our Human species was related to and in contact with beings from the Pleiades, using the term "seven sisters". Within the next day or two, while cleaning debris from the basement of a property we were rehabbing, I grabbed what I thought was a bag of trash and decided to first open it. Inside, were seven (needing to be restored) Madame Alexander dolls. Not a coincidence, an affirmation.

Following auditory cues and telepathic calls to "come outside and see us", in one instance, I encountered a blinding-white flash. Andy was spared. He looked down instead of up. Another time we took pictures. Not that it provided a decent image. Link Behold: an itsy bitsy, teeny, tiny, white speck. It was the wrong time of day for stars. Or specks. Amusing.

A UFO appeared in the bedroom. The dog growled. Surprised, I tried to focus and imprint the image and it shifted (in a second) through the window to hover outside the house where I could still see the glow through the blinds. Red and green. I wasn't supposed to see anything more. That one, I did report to MUFON.

Our shared experiences have allowed us to clarify that we are both getting the same prompts to pay attention and look up. Thousands of experiencers, each with their own unique perspective suggest 'Disclosure' isn't happening on the main stage in public view. It's happening in the twilight, on the fringe and out of range of deniers. Contact is personal, selective, ongoing... and in progress.
Living in extraordinary times, confronted with fantastic challenges to our material and metaphysical knowns. Given what I have seen and experienced, there are ever more wondrous dimensions hinting their presence, calling for awareness. Consciousness is evolving.

Another Jeffrey Mishlove interview with John Alexander. In this interview, John details a personal encounter with a UFO and an instance where his wife Victoria was possessed by an entity during a shamanic ceremony in Brazil.

Bigfoot, UFOs, PSI, Near-Death Experiences, Remote Viewing and more. I interviewed John about his book, Reality Denied


When you visit John's website, you'll see photos of some of the exotic locations John and Victoria have visited. While John is there to document the happenings and report the science that might be part of the equation, Victoria's intuitive and empathic skills allow her to surrender to the flow of the scene and engage as an experiencer.

She doesn't usually do interviews and I am very glad she chose to do this one. In addition to having access to places not usually visited by or open to Western tourists, her unique perspective provides an important context for anyone interested in the behind the scenes of an authentic, indigenous shamanic ceremony. On occasion, she has even been invited to return as an honored guest and participant.

An interesting encounter we touch on briefly in our interview is a visit to the Ark of the Covenant. John had already gone ahead but Victoria, being curious, was lingering when - right place, right time - she was asked if she wanted to meet one of the Monks responsible for guarding the Ark, a rare encounter. To understand how truly special that encounter was, read: Smithsonian. The monks are usually inaccessible to the general public.

Also, extremely familiar with the Ayahuasca culture, Victoria helps facilitate meetings with Ron Wheelock. Interviewed 5/6  She counsels neophytes who are interested in or planning on experiencing the Ayahuasca ritual. Ayahuasceros regard the plant as a sentient, intelligent being, that connects them to the natural world and imparts ancient wisdom, through ceremony, the consciousness of plants.

Ron said a visit to the Amazon turned into "love at first sight". That was two decades ago. Now "The Gringo Shaman", Ron is featured in "This is Life with Lisa Ling" ... Previous post

Booming Ayahuasca Tourism has created competition and fanned the numbers of Shaman offering Ayahuasca encounters. A serious mistake is to not research in advance to understand exactly what is involved in an Ayahuasca experience and how to prepare. Ron Wheelock's retreat is named El Purguero for a reason. For information about Ron's retreats, contact Victoria: victoria.alexander.lv @gmail.com

Another interest we don't have time to explore, Victoria is an avid film buff. Her reviews are on Rotten Tomatoes and at Films in Review.
