'Walking with the Tall Whites' - "Story based on the book series "Millennial Hospitality" by Charles James Hall, who claims he was living with extraterrestrials for two years in Nevada, Indian Springs. Charles was scared to death during his first encounters with the "Tall Whites", as he called them, but after about a half year, he overcame his worst fears and started to communicate with the extra-terrestrials."

Sometimes an Experiencer must accept that the greater society is not yet ready for an introduction and tell the story anyway - knowing, eventually, the tide will turn.

Interviewing Elly Flippen, Ingo Swann's niece, she says there are two things she always remembers:

1. Carry money for cab fare.
2. Avoid the (specific) intersection

Preview on Amazon

because of the Gremlin/Gargoyle
who hangs out there and plays with the traffic light.

The intersection was notorious for accidents.

Like countless others who see into realms mainstream
considers fantasy - Ingo honored what he saw and could
suggest a rule that would apply regardless of belief about the origin.

I can't help that my reality [the nightlights and their paranormal origin] doesn't exist for some.

Trying to describe the greater reality around us
is equal to trying to fit the ocean into a teaspoon.
Here is a linear formula.

Again. Teaspoon vs. Ocean.

Awareness of wonder and a solid reality to me doesn't grant me full knowledge into the role of other players in this engagement. I can simply appreciate that doors into other realms do not register to all and remain closed to those who are not prepared to enter. Each is privy to his own course. It is a safety mechanism.

Rather than try to beat a brick into submission with a reality that air, water and metal are real states of being, separate and connected, I trust and honor the brick to evolve under its own timeline if/when imprinted with those experiences.

Tasked with exploring, integrating and managing what I am given, I link with the seen and

Presence and not ... 

unseen who have come before and are now marking the open door for all called by the light.

Alternate realm teachers, guardians, guides - offer support and inspiration. Solid and non-solid exist without benefit of external validation on this plane because their alternate realm domain is alongside our physical world.

We visit the between-state in the day dream and night dream. Some remember, some don't. Learning happens on multiple planes to all that register the dream imprint.

To awaken in the dream - is to level up - remembering source and One illuminate the grand illusion calling those who see to remember - light is the gateway home.

 The solid plane offers exercise in knowing, being and becoming. We forget and we remember and, after we have completed our role in the play, all return home to create anew in form and non-form.

Ocean and Teaspoon.

Incident at Devils Den - Terry Lovelace had his own beyond belief encounter with UFOs and Aliens. He served in the USAF from 1973 to 1979 (and had an alien abduction in 1977 while he was on active duty). He has an implant as a souvenir.

No doubt the PTSD that keeps him away from open fields is also a reminder that what he encountered ensured his concept of 'normal' would include a larger field of options than most are comfortable with.

There are now two interviews with Terry in the archives. At 39 minutes, this interview has been edited to fit the KCMO Talk Radio 710 format. Link.

Quiet time - Animal Communication

Nap ... half asleep .. hear a meow (My cat Stormy has a very soft and high pitched voice).

Sounds like he is nearby but I don't see him. I go to look outside on the porch. Sitting on the patio table - he is waiting and watching the door. He wanted in. Bob too.

Darting inside, I notice Stormy immediately parks himself at the foot of the bed where my feet had been - a thank you and an acknowledgement we are connected. This is the second time he has managed this subtle maneuver.

In the downtime, I am more receptive to his call and he is demonstrating he knows how to reach me.

My interview with UFO Abductee/Experiencer Terry Lovelace airs this weekend on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM at 8pm central time, Sunday night.

Scheduled to appear at the Ozark Mountain UFO conference in Arkansas this April, the event has been postponed to July. Also on the previous presenter schedule: Whitley Strieber and David Paulides. Presenter line up may change with the new date. Details in the above link. Virtual attendance is also an option.

Terry's book is Incident at Devils Den. He was intrigued when he saw David had covered numerous cases involving missing persons cases that all had one unique commonality. That quirk was the word 'Devil' in the name of the area where they went missing or experienced unexplained phenomena.



There is a longer interview with Terry already posted here: Wendy's Coffeehouse archives. The show Sunday has been edited to 39 minutes for broadcast and will upload after (sometimes prior) it airs.

Terry's encounter story is compelling due to the physical souvenir he has to remind him of the experience, along with supporting documentation and photographs.

Interesting footnote. After Terry went public with his story, the military helicopter fly-bys began.

Even more interesting footnote. Terry tells the story of going camping with his friend 'Toby' and how it was his own interest in photography that played a part. After the encounter, they abandoned everything and left it at the campsite (That's how the military later tracked them down.)

Terry's camera wasn't in that stash. He left it at home, seemingly unaware or concerned about it.

Odd.

I told Terry I suspected the 'idea' to go camping originated from a different source. He followed up with a mention of childhood memories about the 'monkeys' in his bedroom.

Starting with Terence McKenna Bio. Edited and paraphrased from Wiki - (11/16/46 - 4/3/00). American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, lecturer, author, advocate for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. Called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s", open to the idea of psychedelics as being "trans-dimensional travel".

He proposed that DMT sent one to a "parallel dimension" and psychedelics literally enabled an individual to encounter "higher dimensional entities", or what could be ancestors, or spirits of the Earth, saying that if you can trust your own perceptions it appears that you are entering an "ecology of souls"."

“The world is magic, not a little bit, one hundred percent. Every atom from one end of this cosmos to the other is magic, magic, magic.” - Terence McKenna

Another long chat w/Terence - 5 1/2 hours: Understanding The Chaos At History's End. Link.

Having ridden the cusp - the catastrophe is presenting - where on the manifold we land - yet to be determined. From higher plane awareness anything is possible. Time slips, altered states, Alien influence. It might be that required, demanded, mandated separation forces a reorganization of the individual focus and goals. How evolved is this human species? Evolve vs. Devolve. The world mirrors our state. Then again, when one is aware the world is a fantastic multi-planed illusion, one can shift reality as self-determined and imagine UP.

Creators each and every one. Focus. No thing here is permanent - but, on the whole - it is the best permanent we have managed to date. As such, we can do better. That challenge is presenting and playing out to us now.

*One hour with Terry Lovelace. Abducted in 1977, Incident at Devil's Den. Decided to go public with his story after discovering an implant (tiny piece of metal with wires attached) while having a cyst removed from his leg. After going public, he now experiences military helicopter fly-bys. At one point, he grabbed the camera and ran out to capture the scene. Surprise! There were UFOs in the background.

*One hour with Jiulio Consiglio. The Healing Frequency. We talk about the current (changes daily) challenge of addressing new routines due to Covid-19. Attuned to the fast changes coming, he managed to warn his sister in Ireland to make another trip to the store for a few more supplies.

For me that 'acorn on the head ' moment happened March 9 as Coronavirus (now considered as Covid-19) hit our local community headlines with the first case noted (on my birth date) during the weekend and hitting Prime Time media full blown alert on Monday, March 9. That was the prompt to act. Time to hit the ground running. Wow!

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.

• 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.

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?"

• 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.

“A spiritually evolved person in a former lifetime could choose to have the experiences of spiritual blindness in this lifetime, just to act as a catalyst for someone like you who needed to be more articulate about what you had come to realize.” - Shirley MacLaine, Dancing in the Light

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.

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.

Materialist science has failed to explain psychic phenomena preferring to opt for the easy explanation that it doesn’t exist."Quotes and Sample from the book:“Communication is always permissible so long as it is not allowed to interfere with the spiritual, the mental and physical development of the individual while on Earth.”
