SciXFriday - No questioning the future, the present is another matter

Cue Sound: Mr. Sandman

“People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre activity."

'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.'

If you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you'd seen.

'They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life.

As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.'

"So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself.” - George Carlin, Brain Droppings

• Debating mind-control? For some there is no debate. Who is susceptible? CNN
• Experiential perspective: I interviewed Paul Davids/Blowing America's Mind. Here's the related post. Davids and John Selby were college students at Princeton in the 60's when the study they volunteered for 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 and deep-level hypnosis. Mind control success? After effects? Read the book.
• Explore the topic further with Marie Jones and Larry Flaxman in Mind Wars: A History of Mind Control, Surveillance, and Social Engineering by the Government, Media, and Secret Societies. Editorial Review: "This exemplary and alarming book chronologically details the vast array of coercive mind control methods and techniques--from those used in ancient times all the way to the Cold War/MKUltra years and, finally, the present-day use of directed energy weapons. Mind Wars is a must-read for those who desire a comprehensive understanding of the subversive alteration and modification of human behavior, on a micro and macro scale." -Ron Patton, publisher of MKzine and Paranoia Magazine 
• Animals have done their time. Trials on Humans next. Scientists have discovered a code to restore memory. Technology Review (Possible countering for SciOps mind wipe?)
• Mystery in need of solving, the "Windsor Hum". Oddity Central 

No questions allowed. It's 2084.



Filmmaker: Taz Goldstein.
More Sci-Fi Short Films: Dust.

New Sci-Fi Thriller getting good buzz from multiple sources: The Guardian and The Atlantic note the movie is slated for Netflix within weeks of the big screen debut. Not about the quality of the film, rather the belief, after trial screenings, that the material might be "too intellectual for general audiences". Special effects reportedly designed for the big screen combined with an intelligent plot. Sounds like decent Sci-Fi audience bait. Trailer

The future is arriving on schedule. No matter how many people there are on the planet for the meet and greet, each is fully in charge of his own attitude. Fuel for the adventure (Humor):

“I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.” - George Carlin (intelligence and irreverence)

Respectfully submitting, on behalf of Humanity, the "I" in potential.

Beyond belief; UFOs, Yogis and Miracles

"There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention." - Ernest Hemingway

• Lots of head scratching. FOIA scores UFO gold nugget. Anomalist credits Billy Cox/De Void on flagging a report by The War Zone in November 2017 (audio links deactivated) on a curious Oregon/California UFO. The War Zone has now updated that report with info obtained through the Freedom of Information Act to map the various craft sightings and chart the vicinity based upon the reports, then included corresponding audio. Fascinating.
  There are four videos. Description is on the second video. Audio at 7:13: "white airplane", then a "white speck, no identification on it". Listening reveals the entire encounter and the continuing attempts to identify what it is they are seeing. Fascinating play-by-play. UFO/Unexplained.
• What do 15 Musicians have in common? UFOs. Ledgernote
• John Lennon in Nobody Told Me, "There's UFO's over New York and I ain't too surprised. Nobody told me there'd be days like these."
• Countering a previous study that suggested Humans might freak out at the discovery of Aliens/ETs. This study (US) says melt-down is unlikely. Futurism 
• Foreign Accent Syndrome reported in an Arizona woman who woke up one day with a British accent. Says she has a passport but has never been able to use it. Arizona Central. Past life connection? Jim Tucker researches children who remember past lives.

Researching for guests, this video stands out. Reminds me of Gary Wimmer and Dr. Richard House. Bill McDonald covers so much information in this interview, including healing, intuition in Vietnam, past life, meeting his Guru, finding his purpose, and his NDE. (UFO encounter is in another video.)



Another video. Bill McDonald was in India when he had an encounter with a disappearing Yogi. Some might call a miracle.

My mom experienced a similar unexplainable time-slip when she inexplicably avoided a head-on collision (November, 2017). Dead center one moment and beyond in the next. (Kind of like the UFO story above, seen headed South in one moment and going North in the next.)

I asked her to draw a diagram to help describe just how impossible that scenario was. She did and was even more awestruck. A puzzler. The interesting side note, it happened during the week I interviewed Dr. Scott Kolbaba about Doctors who've witnessed miracles. Physician's Untold Stories

“The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue.” - Carlos Castaneda, The Wheel of Time: The Shamans of Mexico Their Thoughts About Life Death and the Universe

Opening a door to your inner Mystic does not require Psychotropic enhancement.
Three to try: 1/Meditation, 2/Holotropic Breath work: Stanislav Grof, or 3/Isolation Tank/Room Floating. Tag along with Lisa and Homer Simpson. You get the idea.

Homer and Lisa try floating for the first time. (Sensory Deprivation Tank) from Kenneth Ried on Vimeo.

Floating helped me recover from whiplash after a car accident last year. Ready to try? Give yourself a couple of sessions to acclimate to the process. Floating KC includes 15 minutes in a massage chair prior to the float (enhancing relaxation) and offers a discount on your first float.


Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview 2/18/18 with Paddy Fievet.

Embrace your inner Mystic. Warning. Be careful what you wish for and extra careful what you pray for. Here's the prayer that turned Paddy's life upside down: "Whatever is standing in the way of me living a spiritual life please fall from me."

No doubt saying it during an intense thunderstorm added extra oomph. In retrospect, Paddy suggests adding "with light, love and ease" to that now road-tested request.

The chaos that ensued encompassed reprioritization and gutting of things that no longer worked with the life journey she mapped out. She says much of that story is related in a previous book, When Life Cried Out.

In the most recent book, The Eagle's View, Paddy charts five steps to modern Mysticism. In sync with the Valentine theme, Love is one of the five steps. Summing up, it's personal, a choice to remain trapped in fear or take the bold steps required to reconnect and unleash that wonderful spark of divinity that lies within.

Paddy is working on another book to share some of the profound experiences she has had since reorienting her life. Out now, The Eagle's View, Five Steps to Modern Mysticism. More info: Link. She writes about the Lighthouse: Edge Magazine
