New Clif High Interview 10.7.2011 - Ground Zero Media

2011-10-10T12:12:00.000-07:00

I had a hunch that Clif High would be doing more interviews, and below is a link to an interview he did with Clyde Lewis for Ground Zero Media on October 7, 2011. In this interview, Clif goes into a bit more detail regarding the Web Bot's recent findings and what we may be in store for over the next several weeks and months. Among the many topics discussed is the current Occupy movement that has been spreading to various cities, a potential Vatican crisis, food shortages and the end of the current banking system as we know it.

Always insightful and also entertaining, Clif provides more eye-opening views into what could be the near future. For more on Clif, visit Half Past Human. Could we finally be approaching some kind of global tipping point that leads us into a new way of thinking? Your guess is as good as mine, although the very thought of such a thing excites me greatly. I'd like to believe that people all over the world are finally waking up, but only time will tell. Enjoy!

Denny Smith Interviews Clif High & Clif's Grunch Warning

2011-10-09T12:10:00.000-07:00

Below is a two-part interview that Clif High did with Denny Smith on WIBC Radio on September 30th, 2011. Denny conducts a very professional interview, and unlike many recent interviews with Clif, this one provides some interesting back-story regarding the development of his Web Bot technology. I listened to the interview a couple of times over the past few days, and was very surprised to find a new post on Half Past Human this morning regarding the Web Bot's latest findings and consequently what Clif believes could be coming over the next few weeks, which for the most part is not discussed in the Denny Smith interview. Clif even gives a tip of the hat to Carl Calleman, who has studied the Mayan long-count calendar.

Denny Smith Interviews Clif High Pt 1, 9/30/2011

Denny Smith Interviews Clif High Pt 2, 9/30/2011

The following text below is a portion of Clif's latest posting on the Half Past Human website. He appears to have a certain degree of, I don't know if confidence is the right word, perhaps - a strong impression based on what his latest data points to - might be a better choice of words, regarding events in the near future. I don't recall seeing him articulate Web Bot findings with such passion on a short timetable (next few weeks) before, but I've only been keeping tabs on him for the past two years. It's interesting. We'll know in a month or two if he's on to something. Hopefully Clif will be doing more interviews soon.

I have been watching the Occupy Wall Street and other protests carefully. I do find it interesting that, much like the beginning of the Mayan Ninth Wave with Mubarak defying the people one evening only to emerge the next morning and agree to leave, that within three weeks we reach the end of the cycle and now after many months, more protests have started in addition to those in many countries around the world? Is this the beginning of something that will lead to quantifiable change or will things go back to business as usual in the coming weeks? I remain neutral, even at this late date, however, I have set my intention for the highest and best good of all sentient beings, no matter what happens or doesn't happen.

Clif High - October 2011:

"Funeral for a Zombie...

Yo, Grunch just ahead!

Employing the word as his hero, Buckminster Fuller, Raven is busily warning, "Yo, Grunch just ahead!!!".

In this next 'tranche' (french word appropriated by banksters that means 'slice' which is what they are doing to all of us), the Giants of Our Age, which includes what i have labeled as Civilization 1/One (which makes us regular terrestrial humans civilization 0/zero), will be out for the Big Score with this next mega theft of resources (in the form of currency) from the global financial system.

In the mind control theater that was 911, the theft of 2.3 trillion dollars was covered up. In the 'financial crisis' of October 2008, there was over 6 trillion dollars sucked out of the planetary wealth. It is my expectation, that the next big score is targeting nearly 16 trillion of the new dollars that Ben (enemy of humanity) Bernanke has just created out of nothing. While it is factual that Bogus Ben Bernanke's bucks have absolutely NO value and are ephemeral at best, he has yet instantly obligated all of the USofA inhabitants to back his illusionary currency with their very real suffering and slavery.

This next Looting Frenzy will erupt within these upcoming few weeks, will last mere hours, but is intended by the giants (= entrenched powers = minions of the banksters) to affect us all for generations. Oh, and they are actively working to kill off most of us (What? You thought Fukashima earthquake,tsunami, and nuke disaster were 'natural'?), and to enslave those of your children that they 'allow' to survive.

These are not regular humans. These are psychopath beings who are so mentally ill as to be a danger to us all. The thinking individual need only examine their edifices, the corporations, and the resulting impact on our homeworld to know these perverted, twisted beings at their core (note, no heart, just a hole).

These are not regular humans. These are psychopath beings who are a danger to us all.

These are not regular humans. These are psychopath beings who are going to crash the planetary (mostly USofA/UK/EU centered) financial system over these next few weeks. Our data suggests that the most likely target date will be October 17th (a Monday), after very shocking developments emerge on October 15th.

The reasons, and goals of the psychopath masters of the banksters and political/military minion classes are not of concern at this moment in the process. We leave such examinations for the show trials of the survivors of the psychopath class later this decade. What is our concern is the immediacy of this pending event.

Wrap your head around the idea: the planetary financial system is collapsing now. The collapse was initiated a long time ago, and cannot be averted by anything that may be done at this point in the process of it falling over dead.

It is also important to note that the collapse of the financial/banking system MUST happen and further is a GOOD thing for most humans albeit on the other side of the suffering that is attendant to the process of this global death. We MUST grieve, but we must also BURY this stinking corpse as it is rotting of corruption!

So, let it die. We will rebuild. Note this. WE will rebuild....not they, the banksters, but we, the humans of earth.

But first, we have a funeral to attend. They, the banksters, and minions, have killed off the banking system. We note that already (October 8, 2011) the rumors of THE derivative swap cotango contagion are eroding 'confidence' in these 'trickster notes' globally. By the 15th of the month when our forecast shows a very sharp and sudden switch to release language that lasts but short days, the poison in the veins of the system should be clear to all. That is when we will all, like it or not, protest or not, be participating in the FUNERAL of the Zombie (planetary) Central Banking system...

New Documentary Coming: Thrive

2011-09-21T07:41:00.000-07:00

I haven't had much time to post lately, however, I thought I would do a quick post regarding an upcoming documentary entitled, "Thrive," which is scheduled to debut online on November 11th. The trailer is below. At first glance, the film appears to be quite interesting, at least to me. More information can be found at the Thrive Movement website. Revolutionary change is needed on a global scale. The current systems are broken and no longer serve the interests of the average person. Why not today? Why not right now? We can change the world - for the better, for future generations, for the good of all. Enjoy.

New Clif High Interviews - Late Summer 2011

2011-09-05T10:24:00.000-07:00

So here we are, less than 60 days away from what Carl Calleman has estimated is the end of the Ninth or Universal Wave of the Mayan Calendar - October 28th. As stated in previous posts, quite a bit has happened so far in 2011, but does what has happened thus far this year portend a shift in consciousness and / or the dismantling of the systems and social structures that have governed this and previous cycles / waves? Notwithstanding the many thought-provoking and tragic events of 2011, I remain undecided. I still think things could go either way, with "business as usual" the likely outcome after we find ourselves beyond this October and then 2012. There definitely seems to be an increase in unease (or dis-ease) on a number of fronts around the globe, but I'm just not convinced that the pace of change (which should be twenty times faster than the preceding Galactic Cycle) is enough to be indicative of any type of major change in awareness or shift as many have spoken about. And, as I've said many times in the past, I find any mention of specific dates for predicted events to be suspect.

However, that could change at any moment, as even casual observation of the headlines of the day reveals. There do appear to be just as many cracks in the sociopolitical structures as there are showing up all over the earth's crust. I remain hopeful for massive paradigm shifts and positive change, even if that means an abrupt departure from life as we've known it in the civilized world as a means to an end. Anything is possible. What appears to be evident, at least to me, is that the current structure of the world - money, commerce, industry, politics, unlimited economic growth - is unsustainable. Somewhere in the aforementioned cacophony that shapes public opinion via the media is an observation of how much of modern society has been removed from the beauty of nature, her cycles and rhythms. Instead, the focus of life for many is the agenda of corporate interests, for profit, on virtually every front. That is a meditation. When you spend some time thinking about it, while perhaps at the same time picturing an HD video of the night sky with its brilliant stars as it showcases the wonder of the universe, you realize that our corporate agenda-driven world (consume, consume) is complete insanity.

Clif High of Half Past Human and the Web Bot Project has been busy analyzing the linguistics contained in his spiders' latest web crawls. I always enjoy listening to Clif talk and I would also expect that he will be doing more interviews over the next several weeks as he completes his latest round of analysis. A new Shape of Things To Come newsletter should be released soon, which will be available from the HPH website. Each interview contains intriguing information, from the potential failure of the US Postal Service and the ensuing financial domino effect to the ongoing radiation leaking from the Fukushima reactors. Personally, I can't see the US government letting the Postal Service fail, but I suppose anything is possible these days. The videos below are "adventures in future viewing" with Clif High. The first video is from Time Monk Radio on August 12th:

This second video is a more recent interview with Clif on Truth Frequency Radio, which debuted on August 27th:

The Way Of Waking Up - Alan Watts

2011-08-20T15:58:00.000-07:00

It's been many weeks since my last post. A lot has changed in my personal life since mid-June. As I have mentioned previously, I entered a Dark Night of the Soul experience precisely around this time in 2009. Since then, several profound events have taken place in my life. My awareness, perceptions and my mosaic - or reality tunnel - the way in which I experience the physical world - have changed forever as a result. I found it curious that the aforementioned consciousness-related events occurred during a time when it appeared that everything I had known, built and established in my life continued to crumble around me. In April, despite my continuing slide, I began to get a sense that the Dark Night had lifted and passed. This was difficult to quantify, primarily because I found myself adrift in a wake of ever-compounding problems that had compromised my ability to survive and maintain even a simple life.

By mid-June of this year, I was prepared for the worst, and was expecting to file for bankruptcy at the end of July. Despite all of my best efforts, long hours and such with two businesses, the overall financial climate had destroyed virtually everything that I had carefully worked to build over the last seven years. I thought at times that there was no hope, and had ultimately surrendered to the universe, ready to face the prospect of homelessness and continuously snowballing fiscal problems. As far as I was concerned, the 11th hour had come and gone sometime back in 2010, and I was managing to hold on to shelter and stability by a single thread. What was the lesson in all of this - the spiritual experiences, the disintegration of everything I'd come to rely upon (?) And why was all of this happening? I can't say. I can only reflect upon what appeared to be opportunities for learning, growth and expansion.

Surrender, trust and compassion appeared to be underlying themes. I felt as if part of what I was supposed to learn from the lessons of the past two years was that no matter how dark, how seemingly hopeless things were to get, it was my decision to either accept things as they are/were... or not. I tried to stay focused on the fact that there is wisdom in uncertainty. It was either that or let myself become overwhelmed with fear. There were times when the latter would dominate my awareness for a day or two at a time. Sometimes I would just sit with fear and feel it as much as I could, imagining the worst tangents possible, so as to illuminate and get to the root of the fear, similar to the Sedona Method. This can be extremely difficult when you are at the end of your rope, consumed with thoughts of survival. By mid-June I had given up on many levels. I felt I had given my best efforts to maintaining the foundation of a somewhat stable life. I worked through the dark time despite being unemployed, typically on consulting and spec projects, none of which produced any real income. Things just appeared to worsen steadily. My computers had all died, my vehicle was compromised and I was about to lose my home, in addition to the development of various health problems.

Then, one evening in mid-June, I received an intuitive hit regarding a potential gig that I had heard about through a friend who had been trying to get me a job where he was working. I reached out to him, acting upon the intuitive hit alone and told him, "I'm sensing that next week there might be some kind of opportunity that comes about whereby I might get hired for a specific task based upon a new need of the company in question. If so, please think of me. I'll take any kind of work." This was very humbling to me, someone who has always been entrepreneurial, working multiple jobs at once in addition to my creative pursuits. But the last two years had been humbling and then some, leaving me at a point where I would jump on any type of lead, any possibility, even if it arrived via a seemingly random thought out of the blue. To this great friend I say thank you. You saved my life. To the universe I say thank you as well for the gentle intuitive prompting of possibility as it appeared within my conscious awareness. I'm grateful that I had the necessary mindfulness to act upon the intuition.

I began working for the same company at the end of June. I love the offices, the vibe and the people with whom I work. On many levels, I couldn't be happier. My 3D background should serve me well with this job. The slide has now stopped and a sense of stability has returned, enabling me to begin to repair a very complex life situation. At the last moment, just when I thought I was headed for what I thought would be a murky life on the road, the universe stepped in and snatched me from falling. I am forever thankful. Although I was prepared for the worst, I had thrown in the towel and surrendered to whatever I was to be coming my way. Perhaps it was through that surrender that I was able to get to this place. I was afraid to surrender for a long time. I'm a fighter, independent, and an autodidact. Yet I was brought to a point where I had to yield to uncertainty and I had to remain completely open... open to surrender and whatever each day would bring, despite feeling as though I was standing at the edge of a tall cliff and could fall at any moment.

Miracles do happen. I am proof of that. And on that note, I leave you with another excerpt from the late Alan Watts in a short video called, "The Way Of Waking Up." Alan was a brilliant man and an engaging philosopher. I also find his signature laugh to be intriguing, especially in light of the topics that he explored with tremendous insight. There is something in that laugh and there is magic in his words, which are alive with the beauty and wonder of the universe. When I viewed this video for the fist time, it left me with a curious boost in awareness, one that was similar to the lift that I got from reading "Science of Being." It gave me goosebumps. It's a seven-minute-plus "Aha" moment. Enjoy. I hope to return to posting more regularly here, and wish peace and happiness to all who read these words.

New Website And Web Book Coming From WingMakers

2011-06-17T00:01:00.000-07:00

In my effort to catch up with material I'd come across during an extended downtime, I've set this up to post automatically during my time of limited computer access. The WingMakers have launched another website, SpiritState, the focus of which is a forthcoming web book entitled, "The Dohrman Prophecy." I've only just gotten to explore the new website over the past day or so and have signed up to participate in whatever they have to offer. Virtually all of the WingMakers materials have resonated with me greatly, so I'm looking forward to reading the web book. And, as I stated in my last post, my commentary for the time being on any posts will be at a minimum. Perhaps that's a good thing. Below is more information about the website and the new book, which I believe is the most significant release of materials from WingMakers in some time, perhaps since EventTemples.

The following is from Mark Hempel via the WingMakers' SpiritState website:

"The SpiritState Web Book Platform is the latest offering from James, the creator, author, composer, and artist who first launched the multidimensional and mind-expanding WingMakers website. Since 1998 over ten million people from across the globe have enjoyed the storytelling, art, music and spiritual philosophy of this innovative and visionary creator.

The SpiritState Platform will enable James to release his latest works, the first of which is The Dohrman Prophecy, a new mythos-based novel as powerful in its storytelling as it is in its philosophical prose. The Dohrman Prophecy is available exclusively as a Web Book, a technology that James commissioned from LightCode to enable readers to take notes, share comments, and connect with one another as they read, view and absorb the material.

The Ancient Arrow Project is a centerpiece in the WingMakers' materials and it has been completely re-imagined on this Web Book Platform, and it comes with a thirty day free trial. Also, James will be releasing the Collected Works of the WingMakers in two expansive volumes with editorial commentary by John Berges, a lifelong student of the world's esoteric spiritual works. This will be released on the Web Book Platform in the coming months..." [read more]

And below is a trailer for the Dohrman Prophecy web book. As always, the quality of the WingMakers materials is outstanding. My thanks to James, Mark and the other content creators for making this material available for free online. Enjoy.

Update: Some caveats regarding the website. It appears to still be in its last states of incubation. I registered and spent some time exploring. The site is set up as a social networking website, a bit similar to but more detailed than Event Temples. Apparently on SpiritState one can search for and befriend other members, but I couldn't get any of the search controls to deliver results with multiple logins, other than keywords within the "SpiritState User Guide," which is the only web book currently available, as "The Dohrman Prophecy" is yet to be released. The second thing that I noticed after registering and receiving an account activation email was that the "The Dorhman Prophecy" is stated to be offered as a "Free 30-day trial," yet there are no "buy now" pages or parameters within the registration page that required any financial information. The site also contains no advertising, which is great, but may portend that upon expiration of my 30-day trial, I'll be presented with a browser window that requires membership payments of some kind. I'll know in thirty days. Another feature or lack thereof that bothered me was that first and last names were required, yet no screen or website name. In these days of multiple layers of privacy concerns, I didn't like that. If I notice any changes I'll post an update here.

Terence McKenna's Final Earthbound Interview

2011-06-16T00:04:00.000-07:00

I came across this interview via Reality Sandwich shortly after reading "Science of Being" and had intended to post it here some time ago. If you're a seeker and you're not familiar with the work of the late Terence McKenna, perhaps you should be. If you already are and you haven't seen this interview, I'm confident you'll enjoy it. Terence was one of the true modern pioneers of reality exploration and we were fortunate to have him with us for the time that we did. In this interview by filmmaker John Hazard, Terence shares his thoughts, experiences and views about the nature of time and reality. I'm thankful that John have chosen to share the interview online, finding it to be extremely interesting, and for Reality Sandwich making it availalble.

The following is from John Hazard via the Reality Sandwich website:

"In this last video interview before his untimely death, Terence McKenna describes Novelty Theory to director John Hazard with an elaboration of its core principles involving hyper-complexification and the compression of Time. He holds forth on the correspondences between the structure of the DNA molecule and the Chinese I-Ching, then shows how his notion of an Archaic Revival leads from the theories of mind and the art movements of the early 20th century to the Shaman as the quintessential figure of the 21st century, with psychedelic substances being the bridge between these worldviews...."

Back After A Break: A Journey Update Mid-2011

2011-06-15T15:33:00.000-07:00

It's been some time since my last post. Life events have unfolded in a way recently that have made it difficult for me to post regularly. Said events are best described as a series of contractions, as if everything I had come to rely upon in my life, including the ability to pursue my creative outlets, has been moved outside of my grasp in virtually every area. I feel a sense of irony that these things have been occurring at a point in my journey where I have been shown over and over the need to release things, to surrender to the present moment and detach from the past. I feel as though I'm standing on a small island that keeps getting smaller very quickly as the days pass and it's somewhat frightening at times. Yet, in some sense there's a comfort that I find there, knowing what I know now... that everything is illusory, temporary and in motion. Lately as things continue to crumble around me, I wonder if I'm resisting going through some kind of door by trying to maintain the status quo in my life, which has progressively dwindled over the past few years at an ever-increasing pace. When things get to the point where you have no place to live or to store what remains of your belongings, it is extremely difficult not to focus on lack and rather, abundance. I've wondered recently if this is a blessing or a curse. It's likely the former, but it's still tough.

I continue to incorporate what I learned in the last book that I mentioned, "Science of Being," which is where I left off back in early April. At that time, I couldn't decide whether my next post was going to be about where we are now in the Mayan Universal Cycle or to focus on the brilliance of the late Terence McKenna as presented in his final earthly interview, which will be the subject of my next post. During my absence from the blog, I had an unexpected house guest for a few weeks and we both did a master cleanse while she was here. I occasionally wandered back to the aforementioned "Science of Being" for inspiration while we fasted and spent an increased amount of time in meditation. During the ten-day cleanse, I meditated on such things as "I am not my thoughts," the concept of cognitive dissonance, polarity and other simple profundities that can really get one's wheels spinning once the bonds of accumulated toxins and [negative] food influences are broken. As it turned out, I wasn't all that toxic, but I was way overdue for a fast of some kind, however short it might have been. Given what has happened to me over the past few years in terms of awakening, I was eager for a breakthrough during the fast. Although I had some insights, I have no new event or breakthrough to speak of at this time.

I'm still on the fence about the Mayan Calendar in terms of corollaries to an evolution of consciousness. I remain hopeful, yet skeptical. Certainly we're within the calendar's final time frame, whatever that does or doesn't mean. In terms of relevance to the evolution of life on earth, I believe that remains to be seen. I've wondered a lot lately if such a potential leap in consciousness (as has been discussed by many) could simply be an "Aha" moment of realization that starts with a single individual, eventually leading to a Hundredth Monkey Effect that produces a palpable shift in the way in which most everyone around the world thinks and views their existence. That type of tipping point could literally usher in the spirit of a new age. I'd written about that here previously. Looking at world events that have transpired thus far this year in many categories, it seems plausible to me that we could be heading toward type of consciousness or awareness epoch like that, however, given the ending time of the Mayan Ninth Wave, late October of this year, that would seem to portend that we are due to experience even more profound events than those already seen this year, both positive and negative, in a relatively short period of time and at an increased frequency.

Leading Mayan interpreters Ian Lungold and Carl Calleman had originally placed the start of the Ninth Wave on February 11th. Calleman has since adjusted that date to March 9th. I still find myself placing the start of the Universal Cycle where Lungold (he has since passed on) had originally placed it years ago, February 11th. Perhaps that is because I happened to be streaming Al Jazeera during the Egyptian night when Mubarak defied the people in a speech, only to emerge the next morning, February 11th, to announce he was stepping down. Because that event took place in Egypt, from which humans measured time for thousands of years before the British moved the Prime Meridian, I thought it was significant, since the movement of humanity between Mayan calendar cycles is typically indicative of the birth of new systems and new levels of awareness, and the previous cycle's systems and socioeconomic structures fall, yeilding to new ways of thinking and being. I suppose for the people of Egypt it appears to have been a positive event thus far and I hope that is the case for the long term, not only for Egypt but for all the other countries that the Egyptian people have inspired since.

I also have concerns with the meddling of corporate interests to suit their own ends, not only in that region of the world but across the globe. It seems evident to me that we live in a world shaped and sculpted to suit the needs of corporate interests in their never-ending quest for profit and unlimited economic growth. I find the latter laughable. There's no such thing. The fact that we could be approaching a tipping point in terms of the global population and depletion of resources makes it easy to see that at some point in the future, a world beyond economic growth per se may be one of the only ways to sustain humanity. In such a scenario, we as a species would have to move from a survival-based consciousness to one of universal explorers and creators, expanding upon our own uniqueness, individually and collectively. Before anything like that could occur, some big leaps in thinking and awareness would have to be resonating within the human collective at a high frequency.

Such leaps would likely have their best hopes for realization if societal structures reflective of outdated paradigms gave way - completely - to exciting new ideas. What that likelihood is at any given point in history is anyone's guess. Many people spoke of a wave of revolution after Egypt, and in some countries that has occurred, large public demonstrations in others, but are these events indicative of something in terms of a breakdown or shift in the established order? Or are these political uprisings, however organic and well-meaning being manipulated by the same military industrial complex that serves as an arm of the multinational conglomerates? I had been casually marking dates on my own calendar that are of general significance since the start of the Ninth Wave, especially regarding weather and natural disasters. I happened to watch an Australian television show online called "100 Days of Disaster," which presented 2011's disasters thus far, through the first hundred days of the calendar year. Since then, the US has experienced waves of severe tornadoes have swept through parts of the midwest and south, annihilating entire communities. Floods and fires continue across the globe along with earthquakes and volcanoes. Political unrest continues as well. Same as it ever was? I also came across an article stating that many of the large television networks in the US have already spent much of their 2011 budgets for field reporting and live news coverage in the first calendar quarter of this year. Do the events of 2011 warrant much thought about the Mayan Calendar?

The only reason that I started reading about the Mayan Calendar was because it kept appearing in material that I was being guided to over time. After an array of unexplainable cosmic / spiritual experiences (written about in earlier posts) that have increased over the last few years for me, I began to read more about it and ponder any potential significance in terms of my own experiences and the material to which I was being guided, all of which had to do with the expansion of consciousness and heart-based living. Several years back in meditation I began to receive the singular (and somewhat cryptic at the time) message: "Raise your vibration." I have been "hooked" since then. What keeps my interest is the sole fact that we could be living during an exceptionally rare time when great strides in the evolution of consciousness could be realized. Just that hope alone, that potentiality, awakens something inside of me that desires to be aligned with the higher purpose of any type of event or process of that kind that could take place. If one takes even a casual look at world affairs in terms of tension and instability in key places, along with the ongoing Fukushima disaster (which I believe is being downplayed severely by the media) and ongoing bizarre weather around the globe, it seems like we could be on a precipice of some kind... a time when the old thinking just doesn't work anymore and we have to evolve. Then again, maybe that's just how things appear to be from time to time, generation to generation as socioeconomic and geological cycles complete their courses.

Spiritually (and otherwise), what continues to haunt me now is my lucidity experience that I had several months ago. I've been unable to return to that state, not particularly the scene in which I found myself (that, as far as I know could have been inconsequential), but the induction trigger that causes the swirl in the center of closed eyelids and the subsequent "teleportation" to another reality, which, in my case, occurred through a painting. I've set my intention, visualized heavily and attempted to recreate the "portal" but to no avail as yet. I did it once in March of this year, and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I know it's there now, that ability, that means of travel. It means something. I was wide awake in another reality with my full waking consciousness. Why did I have that experience? True, I had been experimenting for some months, somewhat driven you could say, to attempt to transit into a lucid state using a customized technique that I had been using to induce astral travel. What was driving me, like my salvia divinorum experience late last year, was to be able to find answers in order to solve real-world problems from a dream state.

And yet the outcome was totally unexpected, and unlike any lucid dream I'd ever had. Like my Cosmic Initiation in late '09 and the Dream Burst experience earlier this year, the lucidity adventure seemed rather random, despite my efforts. I had been shown during the Initiation that travel through paintings was an inherent quality that all humans either possessed or could develop somehow with practice. I wasn't sure. So much information flooded through me during that time that it was hard to make sense of much of it, especially what was coming from the ether, which still gives me goosebumps when I think about that time. Since then, arriving as echoes since early '10 via what I call "The Ripple," I've seen a portion of what was shared with me occur, not so much in terms of future events, but in terms of cosmic mechanics and vibration... how things work beyond physical sight, possibility. The Ripple is a term I coined to describe a simple, subtle way in which the universe communicates with all of us, all of the time. If you're thinking about a problem, for example, and over the next 24 hours you observe events in your life that appear to indicate a solution, for example. In that case, typically three answers would come back in a short time, through other people much of the time, and very random. It requires mindfulness, but it's always there and you need to look for it. It's like a kitten at times and all I can say is you'll know when you're plugged into it. It's a combination of bliss, a knowing and a playfulness that is sort of difficult to describe beyond those words, other than to say that there's a fearlessness that somehow emerges from being connected to this awareness, the root of which is love.

Whatever that information source is, Source, Higher Self, etc., during the Initiation it was like the volume had been turned way up, as it had been with my physical senses, and I could see how the universe was communicating with me subtly, all of the time. Upon further reflection, I noticed that said ripples jibed nicely with the saying that all of the answers to our problems lie in front of us somehow, perhaps even in the subtlest forms. This state of awareness in late '09 quickly became so overwhelmingly present at one point that I decided not to make any plans on any given day, and just to follow its guidance moment to moment. At the time, I didn't want it to end and I actually thought that I had either broken through to a new permanent awareness of some kind or that the earth I found myself on had literally vibrated away from the earth I was born on. When the component of projecting one's consciousness on to physical objects or quadrants within space-time was introduced to me by that same source as entirely possible, even ordinary outside of our current consensus reality, that amazed me. When my lucidity experience in March of this year, fourteen months after the Initiation, actually delivered a somewhat involuntary result as it did (an alternate reality), not only could I see The Ripple here (these being long ripples) but it gave me a whole new perspective for the lucidity experience than I would not have had without the Initiation. What did it mean, if anything? Recently I began searching the web again for time travel through paintings (my first searches yielded minimal results) and came across an article about the early WingMakers' writings, in which I found this on the Bibliotecapleyades website:

"I began to hear them speaking to me. It began as a word or two... then a sentence... maybe just once a day. It didn't make much sense... what I heard. But then one day I was working on a chamber painting and I saw something move in the painting. One of the symbols moved and it was absolutely not an illusion or trick of the light. Then I realized that the WingMakers could interact with me, that they were time traveling to my time and that somehow their paintings were actually portals in which they moved through time... When I finished with the access code and it worked, I knew then that I was indeed communicating with them."

Paintings as portals? Of all places, too... WingMakers. As I said, I was first introduced to paintings being somehow conducive of consciousness during my Cosmic Initiation. Prior to the Initiation, I had casually caught myself at times between waking and sleep states, both going in and going out, somehow projecting my awareness to a wall, or particularly a painting, as if some dormant ability had been ever-so slightly awakened and I was awake enough to observe this with my mind in a rather effortless fashion as something that my mind was doing outside of my waking consciousness. This, I knew, was aided by my experiences in virtual reality. During the Initiation, it became clear to me that paintings were in fact a means of travel, however, one has to really appreciate the state of mind that came during those weeks of initiation in order to grasp how solid and yet outrageous that concept seemed to me at the time. I knew the concept of teleportation well from my years working in virtual reality simulators. In virtual reality, there are different means of teleportation, each with its own navigation method. Like flying, those and other abilities awakened something inside me that clearly understood these abilities to be inherent. Following the Initiation, it went a step further, and with the lucidity experience - bam - there it was. Somehow, telepathy, teleportation and other abilities seem eerily familiar and natural in a way that's hard for me to describe. From my earliest times in virtual worlds, there was a growing sense of, "Wait, I've been here before, in this peaceful, quiet alternate reality where I can shape thought into physical form." And every time I go back into the virtual worlds, it's same thing. It's as if somehow this life as we know it is only a portion of what it could be - or is supposed to be on some level.

Nearly a year after the Initiation, I was watching a video about the Philadelphia Experiment during what I've called "a guided information session" and I was introduced to James and WingMakers as a somewhat brief mention in the video. I began to search about them online, eventually finding their websites. The teaching materials of the WingMakers is what intrigued me from the start, among them principles of heart-based living. The paintings and music were icing on a gorgeously delicious cake. It was like reading the summation of a large body of work that I had been reading page by page for the past several years in terms of cosmic philosophy. The writings about the Sovereign Integral and the heart really resonated with me. They also dovetailed nicely into what I had been reading from Drunvalo Melchizedek and others. Along with the resonance of the teachings came a stream of awareness that connected with my years of working in highly detailed virtual reality simulators - and the deep memories that those virtual experiences had awakened in me - a nebulous cosmic deja vu - as if all of this accumulated knowledge was somehow intricately connected and not just science fiction. After finding the above excerpt from the early WingMakers writings, I went back to the WM website and started reading the Neruda interviews and some of the other material searching for the mention of time travel through art and learned about something that they called Tributary Zones. I continue to wonder if I can develop the skill whereby paintings can serve as some kind of vortex through which I can transit different dimensions and realities. I have persisted in attempting to trigger another ultra-lucid experience and will report here should one occur.

There are several items that I had scheduled to post since I lasted posted in early April. Since my time online is now limited, I will attempt to post them in a series that will likely contain little to no commentary from me. My hope is that anyone who reads this blog who is struggling during these times finds some solace in the words written and links provided so as to enhance their own journey. Seek. Spend time and be still. There is exponentially much more out there than meets the physical eye. This blog started out as a chronology of my virtual reality experiences, but was slowly pulled in another direction where it has become an outlet for me to share my own spiritual journey and experiences, which have intensified since I began writing several years ago. Although I'm in a rather tough spot in life at the moment, I know of many others around the globe who are facing similar situations. If that applies to you, stay strong. More posts, mostly videos that I've recently come across, should follow in the coming days.

A Most Incredible Book: Science Of Being

2011-04-03T17:34:00.000-07:00

Several days ago, a friend told me about a book called "Science of Being" by Eugene Fersen. I read it the following night and I am in the process of reading it again. Similar to The Kybalion in terms of exploring Hermetic Laws (Universal Laws) and their applications, I found it difficult to stop reading. It's a milestone book for me. Within its pages are powerful truths - secrets of the universe - which are expressed in a thoughtful and eloquent way. Wonder abounds. The way in which the material is explored and the information presented is methodical and easy to understand, complete with lesson reviews at the end of each of the book's seven lessons. Practical application of the truths contained is also presented, as if the book was written with intention, personally for a friend.

Despite one's belief system, combinations or lack thereof, the author expresses fundamental universal truths in such a way that the overall teachings transcend any one particular spiritual discipline, and rightly so, just as a return to complete unity with Source or All That Is is beyond any belief system. As penetrating as the material is, the underlying simplicity of the nature of the Universal Laws and their application is beauty in itself. Not to negate faith in any way, but there is nothing to believe per se within the book, rather, to understand or "innerstand."

Conscious realization of The All is explored, as is vibration, emotions and how to simply focus Primal Energy that is flowing all around and through us constantly. There are profound answers to questions that have obsessed and troubled humankind for thousands of years... why we're here, what it is we have to learn and how to practice same in order to ultimately unite once again in spirit with All That Is. Anyone who is practicing raising their vibration and maintaining same in daily life knows that mindfulness is key to such practice. This book gave me a nice, gentle boost in terms of mindfulness that I had not had prior to reading it. It's just a couple of thoughts and a pause when the thoughts bubble up, but it has been recurring nicely at a frequency that causes me to connect with it many more times per day.

Also found within the book is a rather detailed description of the Great Fall from "Heaven," which eventually led to the world we find ourselves in today. Despite years of theological studies in earlier years, this was a story that I had always wanted to hear in detail, and which is not found in modern Christian scripture to any extent, similar to details about what is only a fleeting mention within the Bible's Book of Genesis of the "Great Men of long ago," referring to angels taking human partners. If that did happen, two different spiritual forms merging, in essence, it would be news or at least written about for future generations. From my time reading about the Fall and the Great Men as a child, it had bothered me that such grand stories were not preserved in detail for everyone.

Reading about the Great Fall here aroused old suspicions that many of the older spiritual texts and contemporary translations we have today have been truncated, edited and censored, in order perpetuate control. Imagine, for example, that the Star Wars trilogy was in fact a history of some species in a distant star system. Technically, it was written based on the great myths of our planet, but let's just say for a moment that it took place somewhere. Why would anyone reduce the story to a paragraph or two within widely available so-called holy books unless there was some agenda there? I doubt anyone could begin to transfer the grand spectacle of a story so full of awe and wonder into a couple of paragraphs.

Source, All That Is, is revealed in a unique light in the story of the Great Fall and throughout the book, transcending any dogmatic boundaries with immeasurable love. Fascinating. Another mind-blowing element for me was the nature of Love versus Mind, embodied / personified in the Christ versus Luciferian energies in the Christian traditions. During my Cosmic Initiation many months ago, this constant struggle and the need to overcome same was a central theme that I was shown from Source throughout the intense time, including the elements of falling due to mind (ego) in an historical sense, karma wheels created hence, spiritual warfare and Love's innate quality of just "being" that transcends Mind. I believe that any seeker who reads this book with an open mind will find many treasures within its pages that they can take forward, providing perspective on life as well as methods to cultivate and maintain simple mindfulness that can lead to greater realization(s).

Born into Russian royalty, Baron Eugene Alexandrovich Fersen,wrote the book in 1923. The first run was printed in gold ink, which is made from gold leaf and honey. It has been said that the original copies are embedded with magnetic healing vibrations by the author, who crafted the original books himself. I've heard from the person who turned me on to the book that copies of the original printing have sold on Ebay for over $3000. Fersen eventually moved to the United States and founded The Lightbearers Organization. During his lifetime, he was associated with many of the world's most eminent teachers, scientists and philosophers. You can read more about his life story on the Science of Being website. The book, "Science of Being," is available through the same website as a PDF download for $12.98.

Alan Watts: A Conversation With Myself

2011-03-31T13:49:00.000-07:00

This is deep: more brilliant reflections from Alan Watts. Recorded in 1971 as part of a television show, Alan ponders the limitations of technology and the problem of trying to keep track of an infinite universe with a single-tracked mind. The program is embedded below in four parts, which was made available through Alan's son Mark and courtesy of the Alan Watts website. Not only was Alan ahead of his time, his reflections in these videos are deeply profound and especially apropos for the time in which we now find ourselves: within the Ninth Wave of the Mayan long count calendar as the previous consciousness cycle and its systems are beginning to crumble. What would our world look like today if great minds like Mr. Watts were influencing the evolutionary course of humanity instead of the current geopolitical structures? Certainly the planet would be a decidedly different place, likely exponentially wondrous.

Poignant and penetrating, there are so many thoughts to ponder in these videos that I have watched them several times over the past two days. The questions that Alan poses and his insights into the nature of the universe, the singular egoic construct verses the larger whole and "happening versus doing" echo the ancient teachings of many indigenous tribes around the globe, as well as the greatest thinkers within the current consciousness movement. In terms of our fundamental nature as energetic beings, we have created and exist within a construct of systems that run counter to our very essence. At the core of what Alan is saying is the revelation that we must awaken to the larger truth of our existence as human beings... being. I love his observations on the nature of "the wiggly world." Many who have spent time in the tribal / house music scenes will recognize the term as coined by Larry Heard (Mr. Fingers) to describe the free-flowing expression of dance on a primal level. It's hard to believe that this was recorded 40 years ago, as Alan's reflections are of paramount relevance today. Our thanks to Mark Watts for making these videos available for public viewing. It is a real treasure - simply brilliant. Enjoy.

Existential Videos: All Will Arrive - Alan Watts Is God For 10 Minutes

2011-03-30T14:34:00.000-07:00

I came across the two embedded videos below earlier today during my morning reading and found that they compliment each other nicely. If you're in the mood for a little existentialism, you might find these videos to be interesting. Between the two, there is quite a bit about which to think and/or meditate upon.

The first video is from LelaBear, entitled "All Will Arrive." Taken from her YouTube page, this is how Lela describes the video: "My video illustration of the role of the psyche in our collective spiritual awakening... originally inspired by Jed McKenna's audio book series "The Enlightenment Trilogy" produced by Wise Fool Press... synchronistic inspiration fueled by the fusion of two of my favorite visionaries - Fintan Dunne, Independent Journalist and Sam Brown, the quintessential cosmic artist for the interview with Jungarian scholar Paul Levy, author of "The World Is Psyche."

The second video features audio from a class taught by British philosopher, writer and speaker Alan Watts (1915-1973). In the video, he plays the role of a delusional patient who thinks he is God. Watts allows his students to ask him any questions they'd like, and the results are quite informative and entertaining. There are some fascinating points to ponder in the video. Thanks to Daniel Silversun at Esoteric for raising awareness of the video by reposting it.

Helpful Meditations

2011-03-28T11:55:00.000-07:00

There are more meditation videos online now than ever before on places like YouTube. Below are two helpful videos that I have been using lately. The first is an excerpt from Jonathan Goldman & Crystal Tones, called, "Crystal Bowls Chakra Chants." It's about ten minutes in length. The soft chants interweave into the tones quite nicely. I like to take videos like that on YouTube and put them into a playlist - the same video on the same playlist three or four times - and then have a good 30-40 minute auto-playing background soundtrack for a meditation. I really enjoy simple tone-based meditation soundtracks, like the Solfeggio Frequencies that I wrote about in a previous post. I used to listen to simple ambient music like this with headphones during my time creating in virtual reality simulators, where my work itself became a meditation of creation. The tones I would listen to would merge with the sounds of breezes, water, etc. in the simulator and really provide a profoundly deep immersion experience.

The Crystal Bowls track also makes a good background for other meditations, such as the many group events taking place daily around the world on places like the WingMakers' Event Temples and the newly-launched site Do As One, which features guided unison breathing. I really like the concept of group meditation events. Never before in modern times have so many people been able to come together in meditation on a daily basis to focus positive intentions together that will hopefully have a broadening cumulative effect on our world as time goes by.

The second video is a guided meditation from Drunvalo Melchizedek. The mediation is similar to the one outlined in his book, "Living In The Heart." Focus and intention is placed on Mother Earth, with one's love sent down to her, and then to Father Sky, or essentially everything in the universe outside of the earth. In his book, he adds giving thanks to and acknowledgement of the Unity Grid or Consciousness Grid that comprises the higher dimensions and includes ancestors and ascended beings whose energy is contained in the grid that surrounds the earth. In the book, focus is first placed on Pachamama (the earth), followed by the Unity Grid and then finally directed to Father Sky, the All That Is. I've been playing the Jonathan Goldman video as a background to Drunvalo's guided meditation, playing both simultaneously. They seem to flow nicely together.

New Clif High Interview On Time Monk Radio From March 14

2011-03-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

Below is a new interview on Time Monk Radio with Clif High from Half Past Human and the Web Bot Project from March 14th. This interview was done two days after the last interview posted here from Truth Frequency Radio, which occurred on the 12th of this month. Clif's proprietary software program and his linguistics analysis are some of the most intriguing elements to emerge over the past decade or thereabouts in terms of trend forecasting and future events. His insights are unique and often compelling. As of the time of this interview, he is still pointing to the period around March 25th as indicative of the emergence of a long period of "release language" which is supposed to extend to October of this year, according to the Web Bot data. Such a long period of release language typically portends the occurrence of a rather large, traumatic event on a global scale. Clif goes into detail about the post-March 25th release language period again, also mentioning that there is the potential of variance, meaning that the on-or-about March 25th event could be something currently developing on the planet that could potentially get worse or the release language could be pointing to a new event that has not as yet occurred.

As of today, March 27th, it would seem that we have either entered into a variance period in terms of the occurrence a new event, or it could be that the Japan nuclear situation, unrest in the Middle East or the ongoing protests around the world will blossom into something greater than their current status may indicate. We would assume that Clif is speaking from an up-to-date perspective in terms of the Web Bot's crawls of its spiders, but we're not sure as he doesn't explicitly state when the most recent data was collected and analyzed. That said, we understand that the crawling and subsequent analysis is quite complicated and takes time, however, the potential events that Clif speaks about here have been showing up in the Web Bot data for some time before this year. The interview is embedded below in 9 parts, which should all be accessible from the single video window below, running in an auto-play mode from the beginning to the end of the entire interview. If the video does stall between segments, one can traverse the different segments using the arrow keys on the sides of the video. For anyone who has been following Clif or listened to the last interview from TFR (previously posted here), he goes into greater detail and explanation that provides more perspective on potential future events. Our thanks to Clif High and Time Monk Radio for making this interview available.

New Drunvalo Melchizedek Interview: Audri Scott Williams

2011-03-22T00:29:00.000-07:00

Audri Scott Williams from 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace interviewed Drunvalo Melchizedek in Sedona, Arizona on February 11th as part of her radio show, Peace Talks for Life Conversations Radio. Peace Talks is transmitted every Friday from 12p - 1pm Eastern Time in the US. Posted to YouTube on March 18th, the three part interview is embedded below. Audri covers a lot of ground with Drunvalo, including a discussion of plasma beings - other-dimensional ascended light beings - who are here to assist us with our evolution and ascension into the higher realms. The plasma beings, as I understand it, are the ones that travel through the dimensions of the universe in merkabas (light vehicles). The merkaba is also our light vehicle as humans, also known as the rainbow body or light body, the vehicle of the soul.

It appears that these types of light vehicles are being seen around the world more often than ever. I have viewed several videos over the past few months from various parts of the globe and where people seem to have captured these vehicles with cameras. Some links are provided further down in this post. These light or plasma vehicles also bear a direct resemblance to the types of light vehicles that have been recorded by James Gilliland and others at the Eceti Ranch in Washington state for some time now. The light vehicles are unlike vehicles used by the Greys or Reptilians, which often appear to resemble human science fiction or futuristic military aircraft. The vehicles of the plasma beings appear to be composed of pure light, as opposed to solid mass. Drunvalo's discusses some of his history with the plasma beings, including an invitation to see them up close from Carlos Diaz and the Vatican's subsequent efforts to silence Diaz is a story of intrigue in itself.

Also discussed are the Mayan time cycles, the Hopi Blue Star Prophecy and the observation that many of the time cycles of ancient indigenous peoples are coming to an end within the next couple of years. Drunvalo also provides some interesting insights on the human heart and the importance of the part it plays in our development, from the beginnings of physical human life to the role it plays in our evolution and ascension into higher realms. If you are a fan of Drunvalo and you haven't read his book, Living In The Heart, I highly recommend it. There are some wonderful explorations of the power of the human heart contained within the book, including the ability to change and expand consciousness through simple heart-based meditations that can affect one's physical world. That book highly affected my personal journey. Audri and Drunvalo also reference Credo Mutwa and his work. For those interested in ancient and hidden history regarding the evolution of human DNA and manipulation from the perspective of a Zulu shaman, there's a fascinating in-depth 3.5-hour interview that Credo did with David Icke recently that can be found here.

Despite a slow start due to technical issues, Audri does an excellent job with this interview, and Drunvalo, as always, offers an enlightened view of the grand play that is taking place currently with the human race, planet earth and the universe at large. Audri's YouTube channel is located here. Drunvalo's primary website is located here, and an older site featuring a lot of Drunvalo's work is called Spirit of Ma'at. Thanks to Audri Scott Williams, Peace Talks and Drunvalo for making this video and its message available widely on the web.

::: Part 1 :::

::: Part 2 :::

::: Part 3 :::

For more information on Carlos Diaz, I have embedded an older documentary below called "Ships of Light," or at least parts therefrom, that explores and analyzes Carlos' earlier sightings of plasma vehicles in the 1990s. There is some compelling information presented in the videos, and I find that the resemblance to the light vehicles that have been photographed and recorded around the world recently is something to consider. I've never been one to follow UFO sightings, but in the various pictures and videos that have surfaced recently on the web, I do find the similarity to the objects allegedly observed by Carlos Diaz to be intriguing. Here is a link to the website of a cultural anthropologist, Michael Hesseman, who investigated Carlos' claims. Hesseman's conclusions, as well as those from another group of researchers was that Carlos' photos, etc. were not hoaxed.

Of course, the skeptical side of me wonders why no video has yet surfaced where these light vehicles are directly over the head of anyone who happens to be recording them. Perhaps, as would be expected, such light beings from another dimension are acutely aware of surrounding beings on the planet's surface prior to approaching earth and are awaiting the proper time of their revealing, keeping in accordance with what many have said is a universal law of non-interference in the affairs of the living beings on any planet, unless other universal laws are broken beforehand. Said breaking of universal laws in the past, according to some, has led to the ongoing interference from the Greys and Reptilians that we have been experiencing for thousands of years, which Drunvalo references briefly in the above video and has spoken of in the past during previous interviews.

My hope is that Drunvalo and others are correct insofar as these visitations are increasing and more bold video evidence will surface in the days and months to come. As I've stated previously, if such mass disclosure does occur, expect the powers that be to use hysteria to scare people, either with earthly-designed military aircraft not yet viewed by the general public or through an alliance with negative other-dimensional beings in an effort to maintain the status quo by stating that all beings alien to earth are "evil doers." The late German - American scientist and father of rocket science Whernher Von Braun warned prior to his death that such a day would come.

::: Ships of Light Part 1 :::

::: Ships of Light Part 2 :::

::: Ships of Light Part 3 :::

Below are some links to various videos of what look to be possibly light vehicles of plasma beings, similar to those captured by Carlos Diaz. Unfortunately, many are shot from a distance. Most notable are the now-famous sightings over the Dome of the Rock at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was observed at 1am local time on January 28th, 2011 from various points, including some American tourists who appeared to capture the closest view of the object. Could the object be an activated merkaba? Here is another video of the same object captured from further away. The reaction of all observers of the Dome sighting appears to be quite similar, especially when the object quickly departs into the heavens.

Here is a link to a video taken in Spain on January 16th, one from the UK recorded this past New Year's Eve; one spotted in Germany on January 16th; a long distance shot taken in Hunter Valley, Australia in January and another in Amsterdam in September of last year and Glastonbury, UK late last year. There are many more that have popped up on the web from other countries over the last several months, including the US. And those sightings appear to be similar to those observed at the Eceti Ranch as well. Do any of those videos, or others, prove anything? Certainly not, but I can't recall ever seeing so many photos or videos of these potential plasma-being light vehicles in the past. There have been other recent sightings of craft that look to be physical, 3D vehicles, including one popular sighting recently in Brazil, but I didn't include that link here. It's something that I continue to watch, with the hope that we'll see more information emerging on the subject soon.

I AM: The Shift Is About To Hit The Fan - Documentary

2011-03-21T17:58:00.000-07:00

I'm dropping a quick post here to raise awareness about an excellent documentary called "I AM," the latest film from award-winning comedy writer and director Tom Shadyac, who brought us Ace Ventura, The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and Patch Adams, as well as other films and television series. I have not yet been able to see the film, which is currently in limited release in theatres in the US, but several friends have recently seen it and have reported back that it's an inspiring and uplifting work. Who could expect less from Tom Shadyac? The quality of his work speaks for itself and I look forward to viewing the film when I'm able to do so. The documentary features interviews with Desmond Tutu, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Lynne McTaggart, Coleman Barks and Thom Hartman, exploring the questions of what is wrong with our world and what we can do to change it.

A central theme of connectedness and unity runs through the movie. To me, this type of message is extremely important, especially at this time when we see people all over the world beginning to awaken, standing up to tyranny in a quest for independence and the dissolution of corrupt governmental and for-profit belief systems. The more that messages like those contained in "I AM" reach the masses, the faster we can begin to unite as one voice and begin to further raise the collective vibration of humanity and the planet. Tom's story is quite compelling. As he puts it, he has been on his own quest of awakening for years, and like many of us he began to question the memes and handed-down beliefs that govern much of the world and its control systems. Not only does he talk the talk, but this man really walks the walk, having given away much of his wealth, stepping away from his Hollywood A-List status and instead opting to simplify his life by moving to a mobile home park.

The trailer is embedded below and the film's official website is located here. On the film's official site you can view Tom's blog and learn about his Foundation For I AM, the specific purpose of which is "dedicated to filling the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those impoverished in our society." I find Tom's personal story quite inspiring and wish him all the best with the continued success of this film and his other endeavors.

Major Breakthrough: A New Type Of Lucidity - Wow!

2011-03-21T00:01:00.000-07:00

If you've been following my posts over the last several months, you'll know that I have been searching for context and meaning amidst what appears to be the complete demolition of my life and my ego that I have been accustomed to for so long. Everything has appeared to be dissolving around me, and witnessing this cascade of my familiar life elements as they continue to tumble and turn to dust, I have actively been seeking answers and direction. It all started with the Dark Night of the Soul, within which was contained a period that I came to call a Cosmic Initiation (all previously covered in this venue, at least partially). The initiation gave me a completely new perspective on reality, one that I had never known before, and it didn't come about through journey work of any kind, rather, it happened randomly. I was introduced to a way of being that consisted of the inability to plan anything, and lived completely in the moment for several weeks, during which time I had a treasure trove of insight and experience bestowed upon me that has permanently changed the way in which I view the world and the human condition.

Since that time, I have continued to seek out answers and plot some kind of new life direction that entails truly living at my highest potential, not by worldly means or status, but by being led completely by Source energy and my higher self, wherever such a journey may take me. I have been trying to, as I call it, "break the fourth wall" during normal states of consciousness through meditation and lucid dreaming for about the past six months. Often times this quest has led me to feelings of frustration, that somehow I'm not doing things correctly. I know they're there - multiple states of expanded consciousness, and I have tried to remain as focused and determined as I can be to achieve such states without the aid of journey tools. Back in February, a friend told me about a technique from Malcolm Godwin's book, "The Lucid Dreamer," through which one can learn to trigger lucidity within the dreamworld. I have experimented with various methods since around 1995, most notably with the Nova Dreamer, which at that time cost me $300 and after years of use I could never achieve the same results that would occasionally occur within random lucid dreams. I haven't been able to afford Godwin's book, so I took the simple technique that my friend shared with me and customized it to include my own personal flavor, which included a recipe for maximum empowerment within the dream world (written about here and here in previous posts).

I had been using the lucid dreaming trigger technique for almost a month. On the second day, I had an excellent lucid flying dream, but after that, nothing. Saturday evening I had viewed Rick Strassman's documentary (embedded in the previous post) and was pursuing an event string or as I have come to call them, a guided information sourcing session, the thread line of which had to do with breaking through the worst kind potentially overwhelming life obstacles that one can expect to face (homelessness, bankruptcy, et al). I had been thinking about the singular egoic mind construct that defines our everyday world and how I have continued to feel frustrated in terms of watching my old life wash away in the absence of any kind of new direction emerging. It was during this reading that I came across an article from Sonia Barrett entitled, "When Nothing Seems To Be Working."

I had not known about Sonia before that introduction, and spent some time afterward on her websites Spirit In Form and Sovereign Mind Radio. The "When Nothing..." article appeared to be apropos for what I have been feeling, and my left-brain egoic mind kept stating, "Yeah, but you don't know how bad my life is right now." I have been so blessed in my life and have lived in abundance until these past couple of years. I've always been able to create and share art, and join in the celebration of the creations of others, and for the life of me, I don't know how things changed, or why. Sonia seemed to speak from direct experience, addressing even that type of egoic questioning in the article. I later found some bio information on an Information Machine blog post that links to a recent interview that she did with Vertias Radio, outlining part of her struggle and quest to break through the matrix. I listened to that interview along with another recent one that she did on her own website and found her energy and insights to be uplifting. I consider discovering Sonia a good find and plan to explore more of her work as time goes on.

On Saturday night / early Sunday morning, I went to bed and fell asleep around 2:45am local time, only to be awoken an hour later by annoying, vibrating and buzzing sounds. It was so disorienting that I first thought that I was having an involuntary OBE or astral travel experience. As I stirred from sleep, my second thought was that a motion picture film crew had begun shooting a film across the street. Usually we receive filming notices in advance if this is to happen. I stumbled out of bed and then thought that something was happening to my computers, as I began to notice a melody above the cacophony of vibrating noise. Then I saw that it was someone parked out in front of my building, who had apparently dropped somebody off after an evening of partying. I was incredibly annoyed, as were many people in my building - it was that loud - shaking everything. I have a large sound system in my car, but I have rarely heard something that loud outside of seeing a piece from a custom auto show on cable television. He must have had at least four 16-inch JBL's pounding out sub-bass in that car. Plus, as I looked out the window, I noticed that he had his back hatch opened as he fiddled with some items in the car, which only made the sound worse. I finally laid back down in bed after he drove away and wondered if I could get back to sleep.

Since last September when I began to attempt to "break the fourth wall" and enter into either a lucid or some other kind of inner-exploratory state just prior to entering sleep mode, I have been sleeping with a circular band over my eyes to maximize blackness and cut down on any types of distraction. When I first started doing this, it was during the daytime. I noticed that usually within twenty minutes or so, sometimes less, I would begin to see nebulous purple-blue globs move around on the inside of my eyelids. Occasionally, if I was very tired or had a lot of activity prior to attempting sleep, these globs would be punctuated by random flickers that didn't seem to be connected to the purplish globs. I eventually read online that the body is discharging energy through the nervous system, which results in the flickers. The globs interested me, so I spent many days in pre-sleep mode casually observing them. This takes patience and a release of expectation, and for me it took several months of careful observation that eventually led to further definition and exploration of this state and what it can potentially lead to.

When I was relaxed, focusing on my breath and casually observing the purplish globs, I began to notice that they would become punctuated in intensity at various points. I also noticed that the longer I remained in that state, the intense areas (light purple, almost magenta in color) would become outlined in a light greenish-yellow along the edges as they moved around and morphed in shape. I could easily follow the brighter parts with my eyes and have done so since last September on most nights as I fall asleep. Over the course of these past few months, I have remembered previous states of mediation whereby upon reaching a very deep state, on occasion I would notice an area of morphing images that would appear within my field of vision, eyes closed, where images morphed eventually into full color pictures.

I knew that same place, projected on to my closed eyelids, to be the inner world of other dimensions that I had experienced as reality in many prior journey work excursions, assisted by sacred herbs, etc. From those experiences, I learned not to judge what I saw, only to observe. Early on in years past when accessing that point I would become afraid of some of what I was seeing, but eventually learned that it's harmless, and if I kept fear out of the equation, it just became something interesting to watch. I always wondered what the source of it was... another reality? Inner reality? Ultimate reality? Previous journey work using "tools" seemed to indicate that what I saw during these recent pre-sleep states was indeed a faint representation of the larger, full-blown other-dimensional visual experience that one can have when assisted by sacred tools or herbs, etc. I have remained intrigued ever since, determined to see if there is indeed a connection between the two, or they are one in the same.

Over the course of the last several months, doing this observation virtually every time I tried to fall asleep, I became aware that the morphing globs would sometimes form what looked like still photographs - flashes of distinct imagery that were definable, though not familiar to me in terms of daily references of people, places or things. "Whoah!" would usually be my brain's reaction, and as I had such a realization, the picture would gently fade back into the morphing purples. I kept trying to train my brain not to be fascinated by what I saw, just to let it be and observe. In recent weeks, this process has become more easy for me to develop but I am by no means a master of it as yet. I have found that if I remain still, I will be able to see beautiful vast expanses of nature... skies, flowers, mountains, water, birds, etc. Most of the time they remained fleeting. Occasionally I would see what looked to be much like the virtual worlds I spent so much time in from 2006 - 2010. About a week ago during one such experience, I noticed that I was looking at what appeared to be a computer screen of some kind, with alphabetical letters (language) and photos of people, none of whom I knew. It seemed to be scrolling slowly, but constantly. "This is new," I thought at the time.

Each time I would try and bring the picture of the "screen" further into view in order to read the writing, I would loose grasp of the letters. Every time I saw the screen, the letters looked to be something easily readable in English, yet with each attempt to focus, they would disintegrate into gibberish and I would get mildly frustrated. The pictures of people intrigued me as well, and I would struggle for context, as if searching my memory in order to find a match somewhere with someone I had known in the past. It appeared that by this time I was getting better at this method, whatever it is, of opening a part of my perception while in a normal, pre-sleep state of mind. During that time I had a new experience, which I wrote about in a previous post where I called it a Dream Burst. The Dream Burst was distinctly different than this, and did not occur in the same way as these images were appearing. The burst was a lucid dream-meets-astral travel experience, something completely new to me despite similar experiences in the past. It was initiated by something, perhaps an entity, speaking to me within my dream mind which ignited an astral experience within the dream; pure bliss, and very different than this activity I had been engaging in since last autumn in terms of training myself from outside the dream state. In hindsight, perhaps the Dream Burst was a necessary precursor to what I would come to experience, which is the subject of this post.

As I laid there on my bed on Saturday night, after the booming sound system had left my block, I wondered if I should continue to try falling asleep or get up, make some tea and go back to the computer. I decided that sleep would be best, or at least the attempt to do so. I had the band around my eyes and felt a bit rattled, and tried to calm myself by shaking my foot, which sometimes helps me to calm down quickly and fall asleep. I began watching the purplish globs, which once again started to morph into brighter globs with their signature greenish-yellow outlines. A few still photos captured for brief seconds within my field of view, as often happens. I remained the observer. Then, it appeared very quickly within the center of my view that there was some kind of vortex there, a quick swirl of all the globs that lasted for about a second or two. The next thing I noticed was that my awareness was pulled into this "vortex," for lack of a better word. This was not like an OBE vortex, which can occasionally feel like a vacuum cleaner and make one feel like they're being literally sucked off of the bed. This was different, no body-pull sensation, just awareness, as if I had been staring at a whirlpool that I somehow poured my consciousness into. No physical pull.

I came out of the other side about six feet above the ground in the dream state, within a flat or apartment of some kind. My essence poured out of a an old painting that was on one of the walls. It had a conclave type of frame that curved out from the painting itself about two inches. I stood on the floor. There I was, wide awake, with my full conscious awareness that I carry in the everyday 3D physical world. Bam - just like that. I knew I was "dreaming" but I wasn't exactly sure where or how. Had I traveled in time? Another dimension? A past existence? Was this what is known as Quantum Jumping? I was completely astounded, so much so that I quickly tried to calm my emotions so that I wouldn't knock myself out of that state. I was elated. Fascinated. Stunned. Excited beyond belief. "This is a major breakthrough!" I thought as I began to explore my surroundings.

I had experienced many lucid dreaming experiences in the past, but none where I carried with me the totality of my waking awareness that I have every day. In past experiences, only part of "me" was present, enough to know who I was and that I was awake in the dream, but not my "waking all." Wow. This place in which I found myself appeared to be 3D, just like my waking physical world. The building that I was in seemed very similar to my present residence, yet it was completely different. Instead of white walls, the walls of the interior were a deep olive green color. Old paintings adorned the wall that I had passed through at a rather odd height. "That's strange," I thought, as I looked at the wall. They were closer to the ceiling than the middle of the wall, typically hung higher than one would hang them here, today, in this world.

There was antique furniture everywhere, quite a change from my post-modern furniture from this present life. And strewn about this rather messy place were items that I knew to be mine, with some even baring a resemblance to things in my physical world, yet they were all different. The flat contained a dining room, which I currently don't have, consisting of a dark wooden dining table and tall chairs, along with a hutch and a small desk or dresser of some kind. I stepped carefully around the living room, dining room and an adjacent smaller room with low chairs and a coffee table, which looked to be a center of activity with many items on the coffee table. I passed through the smaller room and opened a door that led to the hallway. "This isn't my building," I said, "Yet it is, or at least it's familiar to my building and I do live here." I walked to the end of the hallway and looked out the window. There were other buildings across the street, some with faint lights coming from rooms. "Wow, this is incredible... absolutely incredible."

I walked back into the flat again, through the small room and into the living room, where I made my way to another window, which also faced the street. There were no cars, no horses, no vehicles of any kind, yet I noticed a few people walking on the street below, including a couple that appeared to be walking a dog. I focused on the street for a few moments and realized that I could project the visual input area of my consciousness out in front of the building, and I briefly floated it down the street as I observed the buildings and windows across the way. I saw people in some of the windows. One couple was sitting in bed. I didn't see any street lights and couldn't determine if the architecture of the buildings was from any particular time period. Most of the buildings appeared to be made of brick but they weren't brownstones. I returned my awareness to the living room of the flat and immediately thought of my friend in this physical world who had shared the Malcolm Godwin technique with me several weeks ago. He said that initially the intensity of what he experienced was so great that it scared him and he had to stop. "What I really want to do," he said the night that he shared the technique, "Is to try and fall asleep from that lucid zone and see where I wake up." I thought that's what I should set out to do straight away, but then I stopped myself. I couldn't do it just yet, there was too much to see and explore first.

"Oh wow - a mirror - I've gotta find a mirror!" I turned from the window and scoped out the living room in greater detail, and noticed that there was a large full-length mirror on the wall to the left of the painting that I seemed to have come out of upon my arrival. I gazed over at the mirror. I was somewhat stunned that I could see myself, as I didn't remember that from any previous dream experiences, or having the presence of mind to even seek to find a mirror in a dream for that matter, yet I had the same conscious awareness with which I exist in the physical world, from which I am currently writing this post. I then walked up to the mirror. Wow. I looked different than I do in this reality, as if I was a completely different person. I was smaller in stature, and noticeably lighter, not that I am large or overweight in this world. I moved my legs and arms around. It was captivating. Slowly I got very close to the mirror and began to examine my face, nearly pressing my head on the glass. Somehow, despite looking completely different, I knew it was what I call "me" in the physical world. I was very familiar with this persona, and its body. I was blown away. "I've gotta find a pen - something to write with - paper - I've got to put this stuff down in writing!" I went into the dining area and found a writing instrument and a piece of paper. Just then a knock came at the door, a door on the other side of the flat from the one I used earlier to walk into the hallway.

Between the excitement I was experiencing and a millisecond of dread upon hearing the knock, I took a moment to regain my composure and center myself. I did not want this to end. It was too valuable an experience and I didn't know how delicate a state it was. After years of trying to find an experience like this, carrying my waking awareness, I didn't know if I'd ever get back to such a place, so I calmed myself and decided I had to answer the door. Thankfully, fear was not a factor. Rather, it was a slight cautionary impulse, like a spark, and not something that I became fixated upon. I felt safe. I felt just like I do most often in the physical world. The knocking continued, quick, repetitive bursts of insistent, short knocks. I approached the wooden door and noticed that it had a sideways-sliding opening at eye level that I could push to one side and see who was at the door. I opened it. On the other side of the door stood a man that I knew was familiar to me. "Rosancrantz," I thought. He spoke with a thick Eastern European accent. "Let me in." I opened the door. It became evident to me upon opening the door that I shared the flat with someone, although I couldn't get a read (or "ident" as Robert Monroe would say) as to who this person was.

I recognized Rosancrantz as someone I knew who was an old friend of my roommate and understood that they both had gone to university together. At the same time, I also realized that I knew him to be somewhat of a pest from time to time, neurotic and needy. "Where is he? I need to speak with him," he said. I told him that I didn't really know but that he could stay as long as he liked. He came in, went straight to the dining room and began pensively pacing around the table. "It's important. I need something. When will he be back?" Again, I said I didn't know. My thoughts then turned to the paper and writing instrument, followed by: "I've got to ask him some questions about where we are and what year this is." I began to quiz him as he paced around. "What day is this?" I asked. He looked at me with a jolting grimace, as if to say, "How ridiculous?" But I persisted. "Seriously, I need to know what day this is." "Oh," he said, "That's right. You've been seeing that medium," which I realized was considered some form of a psychiatrist. "It's 3rd October," he said. "Year, what year is this?" I quickly blurted out; my hands holding the paper and "pen" on the dining room table, ready to write as I stared at him, anxiously awaiting a response.

He looked at me briefly again like I was mad, finally cocking his head back in a seemingly arrogant, scholarly sense, only to break the pose for a moment due to what appeared to be a feeling of pity for me that had come over him, and he slowly said, "Oh -3 ('03)." I focused intently on writing it down, 10/3/03, watching as I put the date to paper. "Wait," I thought, "2003? 1903? 1803? Some other century?" I no sooner had those thoughts when I noticed he had started for the door. "I have to be going. If you see him, tell him I must speak with him at once." I went over to the door, opened it for him and he left. While the door was still open, I noticed several people in the hall to the left who were talking. I had a moment of curiousity about talking with them, but decided to just close the door and be alone in the flat once again. "Rosancrantz - now how exactly do I know him?" I wondered for a few seconds, but my thoughts quickly turned back to the fascination and overwhelming joy that I was wide awake with my normal earthly consciousness. I wanted to first continue exploring the flat, because it was so familiar to me. I looked around the living room for a few more moments, eventually becoming intrigued with the mirror again. I walked up to it, once again marveling that I had a different physical appearance but the same exact awareness from my physical world. Just then, everything dissolved into a swirl and I woke up on my bed.

I couldn't believe what had happened. Just as intense and wild as the dream burst, yet completely different. I got out of bed and began to search the web for "soul travel through paintings" and various other word strings that might yield some kind of similar results, i.e., "time travel through paintings," "soul essence through paintings," etc. I came across one book in which author Mike Wilks appears to have described such a phenomenon in a work of fiction called "Mirrorscape." I had never read or heard of the book before but it's been added to my wish list for sometime in the future. This dream, other-dimensional, time travel, quantum jumping experience will be with me for the rest of my life, another dangled carrot after which to chase, in the hope that I might be able to discover more about my true nature and that of the universe / multiverse. I have been there now, wide awake in dreamland, and I will never forget what it was like. I then wrote my friend an email who had shared the Godwin lucid dreaming technique with me, describing what had happened. Was this what he was talking about, was this type of full-waking lucidity really what lucid dreaming was all about? If so, I had only partially experienced it in the past. Though lucid in the past, never was I ever "all there" like this. When I woke up, I noticed that I had only been asleep for about 90 minutes, so this wasn't something from late sleep-stage REM, during which our deepest dreams typically occur.

Even though I was there for some time, the experience ended too soon, and the next time I find myself in such a place, my sole intent is to try and solve problems within the physical world through thought and analysis from that other-worldly dimensional space. If I could somehow send energy from that place into the physical world, that would be something. Perhaps even send triggers into my waking world from the lucid dream state. Wow. My mind was buzzing with possibilities. I wish I had the time to do that before it had all dissolved. I feel like there is so much to learn. For now, all I can do is to repeat the Godwin technique and focus on what appears to be a portal that can be opened through those purplish globs on the inside of my eyelids with much patience and determination. If I could master such things, the physical life and its challenges would become dwarfed within the greater context of exploration. Many of the great teachers, yogis, etc. say that we each have the universe within ourselves, and that through the doors of the heart lie the gateways to other worlds. I hope that this was a taste of just that kind of experience. I'm happy that I was able to enter such a space without the aid of any tools. The possibilities are indeed endless. Malcolm Godwin, thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights. Parts of me, long-dormant, have awakened because of your work and I am forever grateful. The same gratitude goes out to all of those whose work I have referenced here in this venue; thank you.

On that note, I'll leave you with a few things that I came across earlier on Saturday night, prior to my watching the Richard Strassman documentary and reading about Sonia Barrett, one of which is an interview of scholar and lecturer Graham Hancock, author of "Fingerprints of the Gods," among other books. In this interview below, entitled "Setting History Free," author and lecturer David Wilcock examines some of Hancock's work and his theories about the nature of our existence, the lost or hidden history of humanity and what may lie ahead for us as we move through linear time in an effort to evolve human consciousness. This is another fascinating video that virtually any seeker should find interesting. It puts current world events into a larger perspective and spans a course of time much larger than any of our individual lifetimes. I can't state it enough now, due to the myriad of experiences I have had over the years, most recently the Cosmic Initiation, Dream Burst and the aforementioned lucid dreaming adventure, that there is much, much more to reality than what we can perceive with our physical eyes; that much I do know. I don't claim to have any answers. I remain skeptical and just like anyone else, I only have my experiences, some of which I have attempted to share in this forum. I only wish to remember what is my birthright, my greater truth, and in doing so realize my greatest potential, becoming forever free to create and explore the universe / multiverse.

::: Setting History Free :::

And finally, the last piece of this long post is a link to the final chapter from a book by scholar and author Michael Tsarion, entitled "Aliens, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation." I first became aware of Michael's work in 2005, and have watched several of his rather lengthy videos, many of which are available on YouTube. Michael goes down the rabbit hole in such detail that he is virtually unmatched as a master dot connector of hidden pieces of history, manipulation and exploitation of the human race. In this, the final chapter of the aforementioned book, which I found on Scribd (no idea how it got there or why, as its only the last chapter of a book), he sums up the human condition in much the same way that Hancock and Wilcock talk about in the interview above, even going so far as to touch on the fact that the creation of art can be and often is the universe itself speaking to us, trying to gently get us to remember our history and divine rights as sovereign individuals, if we would only take the time to stop, focus, observe and listen.

By the time the chapter got to the famous lines from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," (below) I was taken aback. As a former music industry executive and deejay, I have listened to thousands of albums and tens of thousands of songs from all over the world. As you can imagine, the classics like Zeppelin I have heard over and over. In terms of how these lyrics are presented within that chapter of Tsarion's book, he says, "Artists and minstrels of more recent times also have the same macro-theme [referring to cosmic inspiration] in their creations, though few are aware of it… consider the final lines of the song "Stairway To Heaven," by Led Zeppelin, and then why millions resonate with this and other masterpieces without knowing consciously why." This blew me away. Validation. In previous posts regarding my Cosmic Initiation, I state in detail how the universe, or Source energy, showed me the EXACT same thing, although through other songs and works of art.

It is indeed a grand, infinite space in which we find our conscious awareness abiding at present, and we're only able to currently view a minuscule portion of its majesty. It's my belief that if you take the time to be still and open yourself up, perhaps with perseverance and due diligence, the universe will reveal itself to you in all its glory. After all, on every level, it is the very fabric in which we exist and it comprises everything... in the Hermetic sense, "All That Is," or the mind of god. I see the message in this song so clearly now. The lyrics below will never have the same meaning for me going forward, featured in Chapter 22 - Epilogue: There's Still Time To Change The Road You're On, from Michael Tsarion's "Aliens, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation":

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a Lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

(From Stairway To Heaven – Jimmy Page and Robert Plant)

Peace ; )

DMT: The Spirit Molecule. Opening Up To The Wider Reality

2011-03-20T16:28:00.000-07:00

For those familiar with any type of journey work, particularly those who have used sacred plants, etc. to achieve altered states of consciousness, if you haven't seen Rick Strassman's documentary, "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," you may well enjoy it. Included are interviews with some of the participants from Rick's groundbreaking, government sanctioned experiments with DMT, the first experiments of their kind to be done in 40 years. Even if you haven't done any type of journey work, you may also find this film to be quite interesting. As stated in previous posts, I have done a lot of journey work over the years, most of it many years ago. Back in December of 2010, I carefully prepared for and had several experiences with salvia divinorum for the first time. Based on the intensity of many explorations in the past, I found the salvia experience to be interesting and informative but ultimately a bit disappointing. Rick's documentary is based on his book of the same name, which I have not had a chance to read yet but have heard that it is a great book.

Narrated by Joe Rogan, the film is extremely well done and the YouTube upload is in high quality so it plays well in full screen mode. In order to put the DMT experience (and other journey instruments) into perspective, especially if one thinks that it's all imagination and/or taboo, it is important to remember that what we experience in the physical world is only a tiny portion of a larger reality. I believe this to be true from my own experiences. Our day-to-day so-called "normal" reality is a single egoic mental world model, which lacks and even fights with fervor against any type of culturally integrated altered state initiation.

Anyone who has done any type of deep journey work knows this to be the case. We are essentially largely cut off from the larger multiversal reality, and have turned our backs on the ancient knowledge, which has and continues to be largely hidden from our view in an attempt to get us to focus only on survival and the material world for the profit of manipulators who control the egoic construct. In terms of ascension and a potential expansion of human consciousness, particularly within this Mayan Ninth Wave of the Underworld, it is very important to realize this. We are all sovereign individuals, sparks of a divine flame. Our true nature and the multiverse is exponentially far greater than what most of us experience in the present everyday world. Now is the time to realize this within ourselves. Enjoy.

Live Radiation Monitoring From West LA, Exposure Info

2011-03-18T03:00:00.000-07:00

The embedded video below is running live on Ustream from EnviroReporter.com detecting current radiation levels in Santa Monica, California, which is located on the far west side of Los Angeles along the coast. The monitor is at an elevation of 140 feet and indoors. It's currently very early here on the morning of Friday, March 18th. Today is the day that many have estimated that the first radioactive particles will be arriving here, about 11am local time. When viewing the Ustream video below, you might want to click the Mute button to avoid the nasty thirty-second commercial at the beginning. There's no sound on the stream anyway.

I've been watching the stream for about an hour now on an alternate screen and according to the information posted on EnviroReporter and elsewhere, the levels here so far have been normal. The readings on the monitor are in Counts Per Minute (CPM). 100 Counts Per Minute equals 1 Millisievert (mSv). The average CPM have been in the mid-40s and the highest variance I have seen over the hour I've viewed the stream has been 65. It will be interesting to see if this changes as time goes on, and by how much, if indeed the accidents in Japan are not contained. For now, there is no need for concern (here). The concern lies with the potentially worsening conditions in Japan and the time it will take to get things under control, as radiation exposure over time has a cumulative impact on humans and the environment. I saw a video last night featuring theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, where he stated that if he had the ear of Japan's Prime Minister, he would have told him to have poured cement over the failed reactors by now. He compared dropping water from helicopters to cool the spent fuel rods to "fighting a forest fire with a squirt gun."

I've posted both the Ustream link and some information on radiation exposure primarily to help spread some facts. Many of us in the US do not trust the government to give us the honest truth about environmental and health dangers. It has been made resoundingly clear to many of us that their interests only lie with protecting themselves, the banks and the military industrial complex, particularly over the past ten years. They were the ones that said that the 9/11 first-responders (as many were dying over the course of nine years) weren't sick and there were no health effects whatsoever from dust or airborne contaminants after the Twin Towers fell. The same people told us that the levees in New Orleans wouldn't breach and there was no crisis with Hurricane Katrina (as we watched people die on our television screens for days). The same people also told us to go swimming in the Gulf of Mexico last summer after the BP spill, and that there was no harm to sea life or the foods derived the Gulf.

We know all of that to be complete nonsense, so it stands to reason that we should keep an eye on the effects of nuclear fallout just to be sure, instead of listening to them tell us, as they did yesterday, that there wasn't and won't be any health impact in any US states whatsoever. How can they make such statements? A simple, "We're continuing to monitor the situation" would suffice. It may well be the case that the US faces no danger and let's hope that turns out to be true, but the powers that be have violated our trust too many times to just take their word for it. It's important to note when viewing the information below that the long-term time of exposure at particular levels is key, as many types of cancers will take several years to develop if exposed consistently to mid-levels of radiation. Currently we are nowhere near those types of levels, thank the universe.

Streaming .TV shows by Ustream

Here is a link to a report on EnviroReporter called Melt Down Wind. There is also another website with regularly updated US radiation levels called Radiation Network. Yesterday, the New York Times published a animated motion graphic showing the expected motion of the radioactive plume based on wind and weather patterns. A sobering video was also posted on YouTube the other day as well showing the earthquake swarm in Japan from March 9th - 14th alone. Keep in mind that there was increased activity there well before that time and has been since. They have been getting literally rocked over there. Below are some facts about radiation levels sourced from Andy Heather and Wikipedia, provided for perspective.

Radiation Exposure Information

Note that 100 CPM is equivalent to 1 microsievert per hour, or 0.001 millisieverts per hour. The peak on March 16 of around 50 CPM was equivalent to around 0.5 microsieverts per hour. 250000 microsieverts is considered a harmful dose at which one would experience a temporary drop in white blood cell count.

• To be exposed to 250000 microsieverts of radiation you would have to stay in Tokyo for 57.03 years at peak exposure.

• The math: 0.5 (hourly dose of microsieverts) X 8766 (approximate number of hours in a year) = 4383 (yearly dose of microsieverts at March 16 peak level)

• 250000 (harmful dose of microsieverts) ÷ 4383 (yearly dose of microsieverts at March 16 peak level) = 57.03 (years)

Annual Exposure at Peak Levels

• 8766 (hours per year) X 0.5 (microsieverts per hour at peak on March 16) = 4383 (microsieverts per year)

• Annual average natural exposure per year = 2500 microsieverts per year

• CT scan = 6900 microsieverts

Remember that current radiation readings in Tokyo have now fallen to well below the March 16 peak of 0.5 microsieverts per hour.

Annual Exposure at Current Levels

• 8766 x 0.2 (microsieverts per hour) = 1753 (microsieverts per year)

• Annual average natural exposure per year worldwide: 2500 microsieverts per year

• Average average natural exposure per year in America: 3000 microsieverts per year

• Chernobyl lifetime radiation exposure: 350000 microsieverts

This means that the background radiation in Tokyo is now, at a yearly rate, below the worldwide average. It is also below the background radiation the average American is exposed to each year.

Single Dose Examples

• Eating one banana: 0.0001 millisieverts/0.1 microsieverts

• 3–6 Sieverts: Severe nausea, loss of appetite; hemorrhaging, infection, diarrhea, skin peels, sterility; death if untreated.

• 6–10 Sieverts: Above symptoms plus central nervous system impairment; death expected.

• Above 10 Sieverts: Incapacitation and death.

So for now, things are okay on the US west coast. I continue to keep the people of Japan in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that many around the world will join in support and donate to the disaster effort if possible. The post-quake damage there is tremendous and they need our help, as it will be with them for some time to come. We are one.

On a lighter note, I will provide a link to the beautiful rainbow cloud that appeared over Mt. Everest recently. It made me think of a 2009 video from José Arguelles called "2012 Circumpolar Rainbow Bridge," in which he talks about an increase in rainbow cloud formations as we move closer to 2012. I have seen people posting similar photos recently on some consciousness-related websites, but none as beautiful as the one in the article linked above. Could they really be signs of something beautiful to come? I would hope so, but it's only hope at this point. Below is the video in two parts.

~ Part 1 ~

~ Part 2 ~

And finally, for some additional perspective on the mainstream, corporate controlled media here in the US, I found this video, embedded below, from RT America to be quite interesting. I viewed it very early this morning, Friday, March 18th. As usual, I did a Google search for the headline to see where else the story appeared on the web. I was surprised to find that within the first 50 search results, there was no mention of this story on any of the domestic major media outlets. None of them appeared to have covered the story, not Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, CBS, ABC, Reuters, Associated Press, etc. Upon sharing the video with some friends, one mentioned that Google has been censoring news for some time. That may indeed be the case, and many times I'll cross-check a search through IxQuick or another alternative search engine, but even so, I found it surprising that there was no mention of this whatsoever. That may obviously change as time goes on, but as of Friday morning, nothing.

In addition to RT, the sites that did have the story mentioned were all independent media outlets and blogs. One has to wonder about the issue currently being debated in Washington called Net Neutrality, where the large telecommunications companies who control access to and connection speeds of the internet domestically want to "redesign" the internet to suit their own twisted agendas. That's not a world that most of us who use the web for information and communication want to live in. They've already ruined cable TV, where they've "bundled" everything to the point that you have to pay for things you don't want. In virtually no other area of commerce are purchases set up that way. It would be like going to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables, let's say lettuce, peppers, oranges and bananas, and the market telling you, "Fine. But you'll have to buy 10 bags of wet sand mixed with dead animal carcasses along with your fruit and vegetable purchases as well, or you'll get nothing." Most of what one pays for in a bundle is useless, unwanted tripe. It's a con game and it makes no sense for the consumer. Major media executives push this agenda on the public while virtually masturbating about "the free market," competition and how well they serve the consumer. Lies.

The large media companies are looking to "bundle" access to websites on top of the monthly connection fees, i.e., "Your current monthly fees, plus an additional $19.95 per month and you'll get "unlimited" high-speed access to your email, YouTube, Facebook, iTunes and three more (approved corporate) websites of your choice." They want to silence independent media and bloggers by providing high-speed access to benefit only corporate websites. In many parts of this country, you can't even pay for RT or Al Jazeera on a cable television plan. They won't even carry the channels. When you consider who now owns cable television, thus having a virtual monopoly on internet connection, it's not surprising. AT&T has already commenced their new bandwidth cap strategy. These companies are like cancers whose appetite for profit and control is insatiable. It's a game of inches with them, and despite claims of "it will only affect a minor portion of our customers," there's a plan there. That's how it always starts and these strategies are designed to get them firm footing upon which they can further slice up and divide web access, and raise prices at will.

Back to events yesterday in Washington, DC. Although the protest in the video below isn't massive by any means, it is significant given the location and the various recent anti-government protests that have been taking place around the country, especially in Wisconsin, where some of these demonstrators in the video had come from. There was a time in this country, not too long ago when we actually had real news reporters who would have considered this story a real scoop, primarily because it could be part of a growing trend and portend things to come. Things are changing in the country and changing fast. Lately it seems to be a country run by and for the major corporations, many of whom do not pay any taxes.

A Time Of Tension

2011-03-16T18:03:00.000-07:00

As mentioned in the previous post, Clif High's Web Bot seems to have been quite accurate concerning the events of the past several months alone. If you haven't heard his most recent interview on Truth Frequency Radio, scroll down to the previous post. The Web Bot's linguistics analysis has also pointed to the period around March 25th, indicating that the world will enter into a phase of what they describe as "release language," which is indicative of the occurrence of a major event. The fact that the period of release language is supposed to last seventh months portends the potential event (sometime around to March 25th) as being rather large. Whether this has something to do with the events unfolding in Japan at present is unknown, however, the Web Bot did predict "ill winds" and "radioactive volcano" during the early months of 2011. One of the important things to remember in terms of this type of speculation is that we exist within a quantum field of possibilities, probabilities and likelihoods, all of which can change at any given point in time, based upon the constant unfolding of events in any particular manner.

Couple that with 9Nania's YouTube quake prediction two days before the 9.0 quake (since upgraded) hit Japan, along with many other warnings from various sources, one has to wonder if we have indeed entered a time of quickening in terms of the pace and speed of earth-changing events. The rebellions and revolutions continue in North Africa and the Middle East, and the hacker group Anonymous is currently attempting to organize what they are calling "The Siege" - a series of peaceful demonstrations at the various Federal Reserve Bank locations around the continental US in attempt to shut down the bank. Whether such an event will have any effect remains to be seen.

As always, beware the meme. There appears to be chatter reaching fever pitch around the web right now concerning a major quake hitting either the US west coast and/or the New Madrid Fault Zone (central US) within the next ten days. Along with that chatter, we have people who fear radiation poisoning from Japan buying up potassium iodide pills at pharmacies all over southern California to the point where most places sold out of the pills several days ago. From what I've read, one should only take those pills in the event of major nuclear fallout in one's immediate area, and anyone over forty years old should not take the pills at all. Other factors like the full moon - or super moon - which will arrive Saturday, March 19th, as well as the recent fish deaths in Redondo Beach have locals in southern California talking about the potential of a major earthquake.

Virtually everyone who has lived southern California for at least ten years would agree that we are long overdue for a major quake. Although we have quakes here often, and there has been considerable cluster activity to the south near Mexicali, Mexico, along with various points up and down the west coast, we have not had a 5.0 quake in the Los Angeles area in a long time. The Northridge Earthquake, which occurred on January 17, 1994 was a magnitude 6.7. I was still on the east coast at that time, but from what locals and the media have said, the shaking lasted approximately six seconds. Although there was a lot of destruction, the Northridge quake was centered north of the city of LA. Contrast that with the Sendai / Honshu 9.0 quake in Japan, during which time the shaking lasted nearly five minutes. Coupled with the 200+ aftershocks, it must be a frightening time in northern Japan and my thoughts and prayers are with its people.

The numbers on the Richter Scale, from 1 to 10 are exponents, rather than integers. Each whole-number increase represents a ten-fold increase in the magnitude of a seismic event. From 1.0 to 3.0 is an increase of a factor of 100, and to go from 1.0 to 4.0 indicates an increase by a factor of 1,000. The scales of magnitude thus become ever greater, and while a whole-number increase on the Richter Scale indicates an increase of amplitude by a factor of 10, it represents an increase of energy by a factor of about 31. Various geologists and nuclear power experts have been appearing on the media here saying that our nuclear reactors are safer and/or better in construction than those in Japan. General Electric (GE) built the reactors in Japan. GE also owns a portion of one of the few remaining major media outlets, NBC Universal (NBC, MSNBC, CNBC). In the event of a major quake along the San Andreas Fault in California, say an 8.0 or greater, depending on the depth of such a quake, I wouldn't hold out much hope for safety from the same kind of events that are unfolding currently in Japan.

Anyone in the US with any sense of observation and information savvy knows that the government here is not highly concerned with the safety of its people, and hasn't been for at least the past ten years. They were wrong about the impact of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill, wrong in terms of damage, impact, cost of repair, timelines of repair and long term health consequences. It took them nearly ten years for them to partially respond to the health concerns of the 9/11 first-responders (many of whom have since died), which in and of itself is a disgrace. New York is my hometown. I've lived there twice in my life. Other than London and San Francisco, it's my favorite city. During 9/11, I was living in Boston on the east coast, about a 3-4 hour drive from NY. Some friends and I were on the verge of driving down to NYC on the morning of the 11th to help as volunteers. By mid-day, the media had told people to not to come, and those friends who were living in NY at the time had told us via cell phones that they were leaving the island of Manhattan, so we didn't go. When I look back on it now, although we were ready and willing to help, I'm glad we didn't go, given the lack of concern of the government for the safety of those who helped with the disaster. The long term health effects of Katrina and the BP spill aftermath are completely different stories that continue to unfold.

With all of the above said, my thoughts once again turn inward, where I consider the many teachings of both the indigenous and contemporary spiritual teachers who have warned us about a quickening of events that will usher in the dawn of a new era in human consciousness. We are all one. Now is the time to live from the heart. Then again, that should always be the case. My left-brain and its analytical nature says that all of the chatter and memes about earthquakes, radiation and sociopolitical changes mean nothing, and that life will go on the way it always has. Perhaps that will be the case. I do not know at this point in time. However, like many others I have had dreams and visions that portend events akin to a quickening and an unraveling of what we in the western world have known as relatively "normal" life for some time. In late 2009 during my other-worldly kundalini-like experience, I was shown vast areas of rubble and destruction. I have chosen not to focus on the latter. Rather, I use it as a reminder of the importance of living in and from the heart, in a quest to discover more about the nature of the universe and why we are here.

I will leave you with a few interesting articles that I have found recently, along with a warning from Jim Berkland concerning a potential seismic event on the west coast of the US. I don't put much faith in the US media outlets anymore, least of all Fox (Faux) News. All of the major outlets have become a cacophony of trite and meaningless political tripe, punctuated with this country's ever-increasing appetite for celebrity / political gotchas and exercises in stupidity. Our cable news channels are an endless carousel of nattering nabobs, talking heads who appear to enjoy listening to their own voices and opinions rather than focusing on actual news. In recent months I have been streaming Al Jazeera, which by contrast appears to be featuring hardcore news reporting about 90% of the time, as opposed to biased opinion and rhetoric. It's no surprise to me that our media in the US has turned into a cesspool. They are all owned by major corporations and are extremely agenda driven. Some have ties to the military industrial complex. It is those same corporate powers who are crusading within our government at present to redesign the internet as we know it in this country to favor only large corporations, thus squelching or silencing independent media, free expression and free speech.

In terms of the potential of a nuclear catastrophe in Japan, for anyone who is not familiar with the severity of radiation sickness, I recommend reading John Hershey's book, Hiroshima. I read it at age 13 and never forgot what a horror it was for those poor people who suffered and died due to radiation sickness. For those of us along the US west coast, if either a quake strikes or radiation levels become critical here due to an escalation of meltdowns in Japan, there aren't many place to go. There are mountains and deserts to our east, and a mass evacuation or exodus would be virtually impossible within a short period of time, as our highways and roads are already clogged with traffic nearly every day. I am particularly vulnerable at the moment, living on the edge of physical sustainability without the ability to prepare myself for either type of event. I don't feel bad about that, although I am ready to leave in search of a higher purpose should some type of event occur. I have been and remain extremely calm, knowing that the Universe has placed me exactly where I need to be and will always do so. It is, however, cause for concern that the unfolding nuclear events in Japan currently have no end in sight. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan, those in North Africa and the Middle East who are struggling to be free from oppression and all people around the world who are suffering.

Clif High - Web Bot Predictions 2.0 - March 12, 2011

2011-03-14T14:52:00.000-07:00

If you are interested in future predictions and potential coming earth changes, you should know who Clif High is. Clif has developed the Web Bot Project, which uses proprietary software that contains algorithms for the analysis of linguistics on the web, thereby making predictions regarding possible future events. The Web Bot's track record in terms of predictions isn't perfect, but it is strong enough to warrant ongoing consideration regarding potential future occurrences. If you are familiar with Clif and his partner George Ure's work and you haven't heard this recent interview, you're in for a treat. I've listened to most of their recent interviews, many of which are available on YouTube, over the past seven months or so. Recorded on March 12th for Truth Frequency Radio, this interview is a little over three hours long, and is packed with all kinds of provocative information. Clif is highly intelligent and well-informed. He is one of my favorite voices in the current future trends community and he brings his solid intellectual analysis to every issue that is discussed. His insights are often profound and highly compelling.

I listened to this interview earlier today and considered it a must-post, especially because of the subject matter of my last post and the various memes circulating on the web regarding a potential seismic event in the coming weeks somewhere in the US. Of note in this interview is Clif's discussion of the "expando planet" or "expanding earth hypothesis," which virtually mirror's Pane Andov's assertion that the planet is in fact expanding. Clif explains precisely how and why this could be happening. When you consider the various large cracks in the ground that have recently appeared in Africa, Pakistan and Michigan, along with the increase of seismic activity along the Ring of Fire, the expando planet theory becomes quite interesting, at least to me.

Also discussed in the interview is the fact that the Web Bot predicted "ill winds" and "radioactive volcano," which may now in hindsight be pointing to the current unfolding events surrounding the nuclear meltdowns in Japan. Toward the end of the interview, Clif discusses how he "stays sane" in the midst of all of the information that he receives. He stresses the importance of meditation and a proper diet as they pertain to maintaining one's highest possible vibration. Clif's website is called Half Past Human. His blog is located here. Clif and George publish a report called "The Shape of Things to Come" every few months or so, which includes the latest Web Bot linguistics analysis. The report is available through their website. Truth Frequency Radio is powered by Oracle Broadcasting.

Clif elaborates on some of the Web Bots previous predictions, gives his analysis about the Earthquake in Japan, cracking in the earth, the Libya conflict and much much more.

Further Into The Universal Cycle: More Changes

2011-03-13T22:00:00.000-07:00

According to the late Ian Xel Lungold, an author, scholar and expert on the Mayan Dreamspell and Tzolkin calendars, February 11th of this year brought us into the first day of the Mayan Universal Cycle, the Ninth Wave and the shortest cycle of nine, being 260 days in length. The first cycle, known as the Cellular Cycle, lasted approximately 16.4 billion years. There have been seven cycles in between the two, each lessening in length as consciousness has evolved on this planet. Lungold collaborated with another expert on the Mayan Calendar, Carl Johan Calleman, who has since revised the beginning of the Universal Cycle to March 9th. As stated in previous blog posts, I had noticed various curiosities regarding Lungold's interpretation of the Universal Cycle commencing on February 11th, namely that revolutions had begun to stir during the seventh day of the ending Galactic Cycle, and most notably that Mubarak defied the Egyptian people in a speech on the evening of February 10th, only to step down from power on the morning of the 11th, the first calendar day of the first day of the Universal Cycle according to Lungold.

Since that time, talk of revolution has spread to many different countries, including several US states. This is what many scholars of the Mayan calendar have talked about - that with each cycle comes the destruction, or crumbling of the systems of the previous cycle, and that a new collective consciousness emerges with the dawning and during the continuation of the new cycle. As I have often stated here in previous posts, although I do find a lot of this intriguing, I remain skeptical. I do, however, hold ancient indigenous wisdom in high regard for many reasons, of which I have written about previously here as well. Each cycle in the Mayan calendars consists of seven days and six nights. During the Universal Cycle, these days and nights are approximately twenty days long, according to Lungold. The thirteen days and nights of each cycle total twenty, based on a sacred ratio of 13:20.

Since the Universal Cycle is so incredibly short, the pace of changes (geographic, technological, governmental, consciousness, etc.) should be so great and so swift that if these scholars are correct, it should be quite apparent by April or May whether or not there is something to be said of the ancient wisdom of the Maya (as well as other indigenous tribes who have disclosed similar knowledge). To be clear, according to Lungold, the Ninth Wave or Universal Cycle began on February 11th. Twenty days in duration, the night of the first day would begin on March 3rd. According to Calleman's adjustments, the Universal Cycle was to begin on March 9th, with each day and night being a total of eighteen calendar days in duration. Calleman's adjustment has been the most adopted version of the Universal Cycle that I can see from various websites online. So it depends on whose interpretation you go by in terms of where the days and nights of the Universal Cycle begin and end. Either way, we're in it now, and will be until late October or November of this year, depending on which interpretation one uses.

On the evening of Wednesday, March 9th, I found myself rather depressed due to my current life situation, and at one point late in the evening I was wondering whether I should bother to do a blog post regarding the dawn of the Universal Cycle according to Carl Calleman. Since nothing "new" in terms of epic earth events had occurred, I wondered if Lungold and Calleman were correct or not, and refrained from posting anything until a few days had passed. On the morning of Thursday, March 10th, I came across a YouTube video from a user named 9Nania, which had been posted on the previous day, March 9th. In the video she issues a warning of a major quake coming between March 11th and 15th. I took the video with a grain of salt, only to return to it on Thursday evening upon seeing that Japan had been hit with, at the time, a 7.9 quake at about 9:45pm US Pacific Time on Thursday evening (my local time). It was quickly revised to 8.9. I am on the west coast of the US, and close to the San Andreas fault, among others, as well as the Pacific Ocean. Below is 9Nania's video. I believe she also is in the same geographical area. I have seldom seen such an accurate prediction. As I have stated in previous posts, I am highly skeptical of people predicting events on certain days. Coincidence or not, I found her prediction quite compelling:

9Nania mentions the Elenin comet as part of the reason for a major seismic event. I had read about the comet's discovery and potential trajectory before, along with the estimation that it will be closest to earth sometime around September of this year. I have also been monitoring the USGS website daily for recent earthquakes for over a year now, ever since my extended kundalini-like "Cosmic Initiation" experience in late '09 - early '10, due to the fact that I had vivid visions of rubble as far as my eyes could see during that time, along with refugees sleeping in the hallways of buildings, including where I currently live. In recent months, I had noted an increase in activity along the Ring of Fire and elsewhere, and had noticed that around Honshu, Japan, seismic activity had been increasing in frequency of late.

Upon hearing of the huge quake in Japan and where the quake was centered, I thought about how much seismic activity had been occurring there and along other southern portion of the Ring of Fire in places north of Australia, Papau New Guinea, Vanuatu and most recently the large quake in New Zealand. I was certain that there would be a tsunami based on the size of the quake, the type of fault and the distance from mainland Japan. I braced myself for what I estimated would be forthcoming video, which began to emerge within a very short time. I also thought about Pane Andov's recent video, in which he describes an increase of earthquake activity that will continue along the Ring of Fire over the next two years. Pane's video connected a lot of dots for me in my ever-evolving mosaic of reality. I highly recommend viewing it.

My heart breaks for the people of Japan. Seeing destruction on such a massive scale, along with the subsequent complications of the apparent partial meltdowns of nuclear reactors is hard to read about or watch. I have recently been reminded about some of my spirit guide's messages to me in 1999, that the 21st Century would be "the century of the refugee." It was hard to fathom at that time, but like my spirit guide messages over the past several years of "raise your vibration" which began in late 2007, that message was consistent and strong.

This morning, I noticed a story that had gone viral on the web, particularly within the conspiracy websites, saying that a Russian scientist by the name of Vitaly Chmyrev has warned of a "mega quake" to take place on the North American continent on or about March 20th, which would include fault lines along the west coast of the US as well as the New Madrid Fault Zone in the central US, which runs through the Tennessee Valley. I spent hours today trying to get at the heart of the story, searching the websites of the alleged Russian source of the warning, but found no official information there or in any other media sites regarding any statements that Chmyrev may have made regarding a "mega quake." As far as I can tell, this "mega quake" meme began with Sorcha Faal and/or Benjamin Fulford. I don't know much about Fulford, although he seems somewhat dubious to me after an examination of his blog. Then again, I only just came across Fulford, so I won't pass judgment there; too early to tell. Sorcha Faal, on the other hand, is one of the largest sources of disinformation on the web. Her stories are typically beyond absurd, having no basis in reality whatsoever.

That being said, many of us along the western coast of the US do wonder if such a large shift of tectonic plates could trigger something here in the coming days or months. Most people in southern California would agree that we are overdue for a large earthquake. There has also been a fair amount of chatter regarding the New Madrid Seismic Zone in recent months. FEMA is scheduled to do earthquake drills there on or about April 16th of this year and the conspiracy websites have been abuzz about something occurring there around that time. Over the past few days since the Japan quake, I have received many calls and emails from friends asking my opinion of the Japan quake in terms of the larger "spiritual" picture. I told them what I have stated here on this blog. It is certainly curious, and the timing of that event in Japan did come during the either the first day of the Mayan Universal Cycle according to Calleman, or during the first night of the first day according to Lungold.

Although such large earthquakes have been known to trigger other seismic events around the world, since all of the tectonic plates are either moving or under pressure nearly constantly, it is plausible that something could occur in North America at any time. The same is true of virtually any point on the earth's surface, with some areas obviously being more vulnerable than others. If another cataclysmic event does occur anytime soon anywhere in the world or major events such as the revolutions or earthquakes increase in frequency, it will definitely be something to consider regarding the ancient Mayan wisdom, the evolution of the earth and its inhabitants and a potential swift march toward timewave zero. The most important thing to remember, though, as Drunvaol Melchizedek, Pane Andov, Kiesha Crowther and many others have stated, is that the item of paramount importance to any of us during such a time of upheaval is to live from and within our hearts, wherever the winds of destiny take us. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan and all over the world who are suffering at this time. We are one.

Rosicrucian Science Of Inititation Video

2011-03-02T20:48:00.000-08:00

The video embedded below, "Rosicrucian Science of Initiation," is a presentation from Robert J. Gilbert, PhD, speaking at the Vesica Institute for Holistic Studies in Asheville, NC. Dr. Gilbert has a multi-faceted background in both spiritual and scientific studies. He is a former US Marine Corps instructor in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare Survival. Since leaving the service in 1985, he has conducted independent research into the geometric basis of modern science and new technologies. Dr. Gilbert is also a Rosicrucian with more than twenty years of experience in Sacred Geometry and its hidden uses by the world's great spiritual disciplines. His non-sectarian approach is inclusive of individuals from all spiritual traditions. Dr. Gilbert holds a PhD in International Studies and is a published academic author in that field, contributing to the first academic textbook in the new field of Transformational Politics. In 1997, Dr. Gilbert began for the first time to teach publicly the results of his two decades of intensive research. Today he teaches both publicly and privately in Asheville, NC. Dr. Gilbert also offers a small number of his Vesica series of special seminars throughout the United States every year.

Despite initially thinking about Sir Francis Bacon and the Masons upon seeing the word Rosicrucian in the title, I found the information provided in this video to be inspiring, insightful and highly relevant to my spiritual journey at this time. It connected many dots within my ever-crystalizing mosaic and has given me a respect for the knowledge of the Rosicrucians of long ago. Duality, angelic hierarchies, and sacred geometries are just a few of the many subjects that Dr. Gilbert covers in the video. Practical application of the knowledge in terms of awakening is also discussed, which I found to be highly valuable. Much like Joseph Campbell's approach to mythology, Gilbert's non-sectarian presentation illuminates the many similarities in various religious traditions around the world, from Sufism to Buddhism to Hinduism to Christianity as they pertain to self-discovery, self-knowledge and self-mastery.

One of the singular points that resonated greatly with me was that we are likely at a point within human evolution where there is no longer the need for a guru. For my own journey, after years of studying various disciplines, two gentle mantras have arisen within me: "no more gurus" and "nobody is coming." Resistant as I was to both of those mantras for some time in recent years, those words have directed me to look within myself for transformation. Hearing those points conveyed within this excellent presentation is something that I will take with me going forward. The two-hour presentation is embedded below in its entirety, however, there is a higher quality, twelve-part version available on YouTube via the Vesica Institute. My thanks to Dr. Gilbert and the Vesica Institute for making this valuable and enriching information available on the web.

New Experience - A Dream Burst

2011-02-27T12:57:00.000-08:00

About a week ago, I had a particular dream experience stands out as virtually unique on a few different levels, enough that I thought it was worth sharing here. I had been using a technique for lucid dreaming that a friend came across in Malcolm Godwin's book, "The Lucid Dreamer" and shared with me a couple of weeks ago. The technique involves affirmations before falling asleep whereby one attempts to creates queues within the physical world that activate lucidity within the dreamworld. Around the same time, I also began a daily ritual of Pranayama Breathing in an attempt to have another kundalini experience. I began both of the techniques in order to reconnect with the expansive cosmic energy forces that dominated my physical world for an extended period a little over a year ago. I have been seeking answers and direction for my life for some time, and have become somewhat frustrated that no apparent solutions have come forth. Yet last week, I had a peculiar experience that I've come to describe as a "Dream Burst." Dream Burst is the best way that I can describe the experience.

I doubt that the pranayama breathing or the lucid dreaming techniques had anything to do with the "Dream Burst," since I had only been doing both for two days at that point and have not had any type of similar experience in the seven or so days since. After it happened, I was fumbling for the notebook that I keep close to my bed, repeating the term "Dream Burst" over and over so that I wouldn't forget the description of this expansive experience that came to me within the dream. This occurred in the early afternoon while I had taken a short nap. I was asleep for maybe forty-five minutes in total, and the "Dream Burst" lasted approximately four or five minutes in total at the very end of the nap. I had begun to dream, and in my dream I was seated at a table, actually more like a bar, within a residence of some kind that appeared to be on a tropical island.

It was a beautiful tropical home, like a well-thatched hut of some kind that had windows but no glass panes. The window areas had door-like hatches that were open and secured to the ceiling of the hut. There was also an open door toward the end of the bar beyond which I could see palm trees. I remember feeling the tropical breezes as I sat at on a chair at the bar with several pieces of paper in front of me and a pen or pencil in my hand. I was writing, attempting to sort out some kind of list. As I sat and wrote, I realized that I had become lucid within the dream and immediately began to try and determine what it was that I was writing. Just then, as I found myself aware and attempted to focus on what was on the papers scattered in front of me, something unseen spoke to me within my mind, saying, "You are trying to remember something in your life right now. What you are trying to remember is what it's like to be formless. It feels like this - Remember?"

Just then, my entire energy field lit up as if I was a "sparkler," which is what we in the US call a hand-held child's firework that is often seen on Independence Day. It was intense and I vibrated wildly. The feeling was similar to the best astral travel experience that I could recall, yet quite different. My entire energy field felt spherical, and I found myself floating in the air above the chair and bar, completely enveloped in pure bliss. I didn't want it to stop. I immediately started saying, "I surrender! I surrender!" as I was floating gently upward very slowly. Although it brought to mind feelings similar to some excellent astral travel / obe experiences of the past, this was something entirely new for me. I can't recall ever having something unseen in a dream speak to me within my dreaming mind. It felt as if I had been shot out of a slow motion flare gun, and just like a flare, I felt as if I was glowing and drifting over the landscape. I became aware of my etheric or energy body, and it felt as if my arms and legs were stretched out wide and I was in a kind of blissful state of suspended animation.

I tried desperately to gauge and quantify the experience. Since I couldn't recall ever having something speak to me within my mind during a dream, I tried to focus on the identity of what it was that had spoken to me. Usually it's people or animal forms of some kind. Once I was "lit up," I didn't sense any type of entity or energy form near me. All I wanted to do was to perpetuate the experience and try to use the state to transit into another realm. I felt like that was possible, yet as much as I tried, I couldn't seem to direct myself anywhere. I just felt like a bubble floating on a breeze. The next thing that I noticed was that I could still feel myself sitting at the bar, and the identification with the two body positions - floating bubble and seated on a chair - seemed to go back and forth in milliseconds, as if I was experiencing bi-location simultaneously. I had experienced similar bi-location events in dreams before, but not like this. As awareness of those two states shifted back and forth quickly, I began to experience a third state; tri-location. To my amazement, the third state of awareness was of being in my bed in the physical world, in a completely different position (lying on my side with both arms near my chest). As I alternated between the awareness of the three different positions or states, I realized that I was awake in my bed.

I kept my eyes closed and tried with great effort to focus myself entirely on the blissful sphere state, but to no avail. The two dream states faded very slowly, with the buzzing and vibrating of the blissful state slowly lowering in intensity as I became more and more aware of the singular state of lying in my physical bed. Although I was initially disappointed that I couldn't seem to maintain either the tri-location or shift awareness completely into the blissful floating bubble, I was impressed. The intensity was unlike anything I had experienced in the dream state in many years, if ever. I didn't move my physical body for several minutes, attempting to shift myself back into the dream, but it didn't work. When I finally got up, I thanked my higher self, source energy and whatever energy that had initiated the experience within my dream, as I had no baring on who or what that energy form was that had spoken to me. About an hour after the experience, I happened to be walking into my bedroom when I saw purple-blue orbs spiraling around the perimeter of my room near the ceiling. They lasted for about three or four seconds. Although I do see orbs and flashing blue-white lights from time to time, these orbs were different and that was another first for me. I laughed and thanked them, whatever they were or represented, for the little show they provided, and welcomed them to return any time they wished.

It's been about a week now since this took place. I have continued with the pranayama breathing twice a day, and I've used the lucid dreaming technique every time before entering sleep, but have had no experience even remotely similar since that time. As I face a continually mounting set of physical life survival problems, it perplexes me that I can't seem to find opportunities or manifest changes that will avert what appears to be my upcoming loss of a residence and financial solvency. "Why this, then?" I have wondered for the past week. "Why are there no answers and no clear path for me at this time?" I still feel that I'm in some kind of spiritual holding pattern, which has been going on for the past eighteen months. I feel as though I have a lot to give, a lot to contribute, and although I have been focusing on the little things that I am able to do in my life and living from a heart-centered place, helping people when and where I can, I still feel somewhat adrift in a silent sea, waiting for strong sailing winds to blow and take me to my next destination. I suppose it's somewhat ironic, and in the end I have to do what I have been doing, which is surrendering to what is, despite my efforts to change my situation.

My hope is that somewhere down the line in the future this experience is given perspective, or it returns within a greater context of some kind, so that I can use it to help others and gain further useful insights. As of today, this remains the most intense experience since my cosmic initiation period over a year ago, however short and fleeting as this Dream Burst was. Formlessness is great, no doubt about it. And if said formlessness means being within a bubble of pure bliss, I'm all for it, but unless it's something that I can learn to activate at will, my physical efforts of survival seem to be way too daunting to overcome at this time. Within my efforts to rationalize the Dream Burst, my thoughts turn to where we are within the Mayan Dreamspell calendar, and I find myself wondering if this state of being is some kind of preview of gifts that are soon to be realized. My left-brain obviously thinks that's pretty silly, and that I'm hoping against hope, but in the end, I have to think that the sum-total of my spiritual experiences are leading to something, and that "something," whatever it is, has to do with my personal growth, ascension and evolution. When I read articles such as this one from Szuson Wong, which was recently posted on various websites and blogs over the past week, it gives me hope - hope that maybe we really are on the verge of some exciting events whereby those of us who are attuned to higher frequencies do find ourselves transforming into higher dimensions of reality.

Infinity - The Ultimate Trip - Jay Weidner

2011-02-25T15:41:00.000-08:00

I just came across a wonderful 2009 documentary from Jay Weidner called "Infinity - The Ultimate Trip." Jay is an author, scholar and filmmaker who has done several films and has interviewed many of the great thinkers, teachers, scientists and authors of our time. Wired magazine has called Jay "an authority on hermetical and alchemical traditions." The information presented the film offers a message of hope and an enticement to connect with energies greater than ourselves as our true nature is further realized.

Although the entire film is not available online, embedded below is the first third of the film from Disclose TV. Copies of the DVD can be ordered online from the Sacred Mysteries website or Amazon. I've only watched this first-third of the film, but I found it quite inspiring. Included in interviews are such people as Robert Thurman, Dannion Brinkley and Greg Braden, among others.

Disclose.tv - Infinity - The Ultimate Trip Part 1 Video

After viewing the above segment of "Infinity," I came across an interesting interview with Jay on Conscious TV via YouTube. Below is that interview from February 2nd of this year, embedded in four parts. If you enjoyed the above segment from Jay's latest film, you may well enjoy this interview. Like many within the consciousness community, Jay talks about a much larger cosmic reality, of which most people are not aware, emphasizing the importance of having a connection with Mother Earth, or has he calls her, Sophia.

Pane Andov: 2012 Equation Solved?

2011-02-19T10:26:00.000-08:00

If you have read my post about my Cosmic Initiation, the ensuing Bits And Pieces or any of the others dealing with my rather bizarre experiences that began in late 2009 - early 2010, this video series may interest you. I found this talk by Pane Andov to be among the most interesting I have watched over the past several years. If you are one who surfs the web for information about a potential evolution in human consciousness, ascension, coming earth changes, etc. among the light worker and/or conspiracy websites, you may well find this presentation to be quite compelling. I certainly did. Recorded at a raw food group meet-up recently in Australia, Andov, a former computer scientist from Macedonia, paints a picture of 2012, the current and predicted earth changes, the rise in awareness of an emerging unity consciousness and various other elements that is quite unlike anything else on the web right now. Pane's perspective is much more grand than virtually anything else I've seen. He incorporates several streams of information that cover virtually all of the ground of the many different groups, beliefs and rumors on the web regarding what exactly will happen over the next two years. Further information and additional materials are available through his website, linked above.

Although he brings to light many different popular elements currently on the web, including shadow governments, HAARP, the elite controllers and multiple types of extraterrestrials that many of us have heard about before, none of those subjects are ultimately the focus of this presentation. This is a call to action. A much larger picture emerges in Pane's presentation, which points directly to the need for meditation, heart-centered living and ultimately DNA upgrades in light of a more prolific picture of galactic changes that are soon to have an effect on our planet. He also illustrates how present and future earth changes are not entirely due to the influence of the aforementioned negative forces. Instead, he describes an event that has already occurred at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, an event that NASA and the planet's other space agencies are already well aware of. It is precisely this event that is the main cause for serious concern. What's even more interesting about this information is that it neatly ties into the exponential rise of channeled messages from light beings of various extraterrestrial or other-dimensional origin who have been warning us of coming changes in the earth's magnetic field and how those changes will affect how we mutate and/or evolve over the coming months. Many dots are connected here.

This is a profound talk. The presentation answers more questions than I have found in any one singular place recently in terms of the big picture and has provided additional perspective for my recent period of guided information sourcing. As someone who has been monitoring the USGS earthquake activity daily for more than six months, I found his insights into the increasing seismic activity around places like Vanuatu, Japan and the Gulf of Aden to be quite profound. Crop circles are also discussed, with interpretations that were more concise than anything I'd seen in the past. A lot of ground is covered, including some insights into why the vegetarian, vegan and raw food movements have arisen in recent years. I enjoyed the talk very much, and hope you will too. A quick note on Part 7 of 8: it begins at 12:38. The earlier segment of Part 7 is a repeat of Parts 5 and 6. My thanks to Mr Astralwalker, whom I have been told is Andov himself, for the upload.

Kiesha Crowther - Little Grandmother's Message For 2011

2011-02-18T23:52:00.000-08:00

I posted a couple of videos last autumn when I first discovered Kiesha Crowther, aka Little Grandmother. I also updated the post when quite a bit of criticism as to her credentials and claims began to surface. I did so because I attempt to remain objective about all of the material that I am led to discover during my guided information sourcing sessions. Yesterday I came across what I believe to be Kiesha's latest video, "Kiesha Crowther: The Message for 2011," which is posted below. I read much of the lengthy criticism on the web that emerged late last year. Despite what I read, I cannot escape what I feel in terms of the resonance from her simple message, which is based upon heart-centered living and being connected with both Mother Earth and Father Sky.

As usual, there is no call for money or allegiance to anything in her videos, just a simple message: for each of us to realize our true nature by heart-centered living, especially in light of coming events in terms of the planet's inevitable evolution and our own potential evolution as a species. In the end, just as I instruct anyone who comes across what I've written on this blog, each of us must sift through all of the information that comes our way and determine if any of it resonates within our hearts. Whatever doesn't resonate, discard. Often I have found some information that I've come across in the past to begin to resonate at a future date as more pieces come together or trajectories meet. Each of us is on our own spiritual journey, with individual mosaics or reality tunnels, so the same information presented at a certain time will resonate with some immediately, others in the future and some not at all. Keisha's words have resonated with me from the start, as does this video, which is why I am posting it here.

Rewiring Your Brain To A New Reality - Joe Dispenza

2011-02-17T13:35:00.000-08:00

Here is a recent talk from Dr. Joe Dispenza called "Rewiring Your Brain to a New Reality." Joe's personal story is inspirational. Many came to learn about him after the release of the 2004 film, "What the Bleep Do We Know?" where he outlined process that he created and uses called, "How to Create Your Day."

Joe's research regarding the human brain, how our nervous systems are wired and how we can actively connect to the quantum field to proactively reshape our world by rewiring the neuron pathways in our brains is virtually unmatched. This is a fascinating talk, and the information is presented in such a pragmatic way that if you take the time to listen, the information that Joe presents should resonate strongly as it inspires you and stimulates your brain. My thanks to Almitra for the upload.

Spirals And Swirls: This Means Something

2011-02-16T02:34:00.000-08:00

My last post took a lot out of me. It contained subjects that I didn't want to focus on or devote any attention to in this venue, yet something drove me to get the material out for whatever reason. I expressed myself in some tones that I don't normally use, but the direction to do so was strong, persistent and came from somewhere within, so I just flowed with it feeling compelled to write about everything I was feeling. Although I was exhausted after that lengthy post, after taking a nap for a few hours, I woke up refreshed and felt like I had purged energies that needed to be purged. As night fell on the following day, several things happened to me that made me physically more vulnerable than I have been in a long time.

I've mentioned previously that the last eighteen months have been among the most challenging of my life. I have literally been living on the edge. Failed businesses, unemployment, debt and a nearly constant state of things in my physical world breaking and falling apart. Despite working hard in the development stages of projects with friends, nothing has materialized. This all began with my Dark Night of the Soul experience in July of 2009, during which I experienced what have called my Cosmic Initiation later that year, followed by more months of the Dark Night that covered most of 2010. During the past few months, I had become so concerned about a future direction / path that I did my first journey work in over fifteen years back in December just to seek answers.

I'm swimming in so much information right now and my guided information sourcing sessions have increased to the point where they are taking up most of my waking hours. I thought that after I had written the Recap and Bits And Pieces posts that I had covered many of the convergences of information trajectories that had brought further context to my Cosmic Initiation, but it seems now that they were just the beginning of a larger flow of information. I believe in both of those posts and perhaps others that I mentioned a virtual explosion of the spiral, or swirl symbol into my life beginning with the initiation back in November of 2009. Over the course of 2010 I had researched ancient beliefs about the spiral in academic texts and thought that I had a fair view of what it represented. From Goddess to the Universe to Source Energy to a window facing the Creator, several meanings were provided.

One explanation that I found even said that the spiral represents our journey into physical incarnation, as if it had some kind of hypnotic effect from the spirit realm. I have since discovered that it also represents remembering, as in remembering our true nature through connection to source energy. And as I also mentioned in an earlier post, I was first introduced to the shape as representative of the fundamental nature of all things as it exists within sacred geometries, way back in the mid to late 90s, where it was repeatedly revealed to me how and where the symbol is represented in nature, based on The Golden Mean, Golden Ratio or Fibonacci Sequence... seashells, whirlpools, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. It's everywhere, but that was the starting point for me in my cosmic teachings with my first spirit guide back then.

The other night, when I suddenly found myself at wit's end after a somewhat catastrophic event, a series of synchronistic occurrences began to unfold with precision timing. One of my greatest representations of physical security / freedom had just been rendered useless, and I was faced with no options. Thankfully, I didn't emotionally react. I felt the initial dread and fearful energy flow through my body momentarily, but I didn't allow myself to become attached to it. It just flowed through and left, and I maintained my vibration, at which time friends synchronistically appeared and offered assistance without knowing what type of situation that I was in.

All ended up being well. I had the distinct impression that the universe was teaching, or reminding me, to maintain a higher consciousness and let it do what it does when one is vibrating highly enough: provide. Several of my friends had reached out to me out of the blue, and I found myself in deep discussions late into the early hours of the morning about the same types of things that I have been writing about in terms of our reality and some kind of cosmic time line. It seems that people all over are feeling that we are in, or at, some kind of point in time where things don't seem like they have always been in the past.

The restlessness of late that I have also written about has brought me to the point where I occasionally want to retreat into the cocoon of day to day life and forget all of these things. Yet the flow of information and convergences has been increasing to the point where I can't deny that something is happening. The further I get from my Cosmic Initiation, the more knowledge I receive that clarifies why and when it happened to me. Even though I feel like I am currently like a ship on a calm sea with no wind, watching storm clouds increase on the horizon and feeling helpless in terms of a direction in which to sail, something within is saying that all will be revealed in its perfect time.

Before I go any further in this post, let me share with you more about the spiral or swirl symbol. Simply put, this means something. It's significant, not only in terms of ancient wisdom but for right now, the time in which we live. Acquaintances and friends have started to tell me that this symbols is appearing in various places in their lives. One in particular has been painting them over the past several months, not aware of any significance, but feeling somewhat obsessed with them. She referred to them as swirls. Since I had been searching the word "spiral" over the past year at various times, I decided to search the words "swirl symbol" the other day and came across this contemporary page, which I will share below. This represents further context for me.

The following is text from the website, What's Your Sign, where the author gives an expanded explanation of the spiral /swirl symbol and ways in which you can use it to expand your own consciousness and your connection to Source energy. This is also the first site where I found the spiral said to specifically represent "initiation." What's Your Sign is an interesting site with a lot of information that can perhaps bring some context to anyone that is experiencing synchronistic appearances of ancient symbols within their life. I believe that this phenomenon is a way in which the spirit domain is attempting to awaken our dormant memories of an ancient past and our infinite nature because we will need this information more than ever over the course of the next months and years in order to ascend and/or survive. One of the other reasons that I believe we are being motivated to remember our true identities is because this is somehow tied in to the manifestation of our true spiritual gifts and abilities, which are likely "waiting" to become more evident in our daily lives - just for this period of time into which we are now entering.

The information below is from the "What's Your Sign" website:

Spiral Symbolism

A few spiral meaning keywords to start our spin around spiral symbolism will include attributes such as: Balance, Progress, Direction, Initiation, Centering, Expanding, Awareness, Connection, Journeying, Development. Perhaps it’s most prolific appearance is in Celtic Symbology where we see the spirals decorating a myriad of their ancient artifacts. In Celtic art and symbolism, we can intuit a few meanings from the forcefully present spiral:

• Evolution and holistic growth

• Letting go, surrender, release

• Awareness of the one within the context of the whole

• Connectivity and union with deific and cosmic energies

• Revolutions of time, stars, planets and the way of natural progress

I particularly like this last "connectivity to the Divine" observation. Indeed, I think ancient Celtic artists used the spiral symbol as a mind-altering creative process in which the act of creating a spiral in their work released their minds into a creative splendor. Perhaps that’s why we see them dominate the Celtic world; out of a strong desire to step outside the physical and enter a gossamer domain where dreams and intuition take hold of awareness.

Try it for yourself! Paint your own spirals. Draw spirals. Make spiral symbol mosaics. Use any media that appeals to you to create spirals, and as you do, imagine the controls of your mind loosening with each outward wave created as you move out in a spiral motion of your creation. This exercise is similar to coloring mandalas. The idea is to get lost in the grandeur of creating. The mandala or spiral symbol is a partner in creation and can launch our dreaming mind into profound realms of awareness.

You can get your whole body into the spiraling creative process. Walk a spiraling labyrinth as a conscious ritual for growth, just like some of our Native American forebears did (and still do). Dance in spinning spirals, just like the Whirling Dervishes do (whose dance is symbolic of the cosmic dance of the universe). Find ways to express the spiral meaning with your whole being, the results should prove profound.

After my vulnerable event the other night, I found myself in a deep discussion with a friend who appeared out of the blue in my time of need and we discussed various things. He is adept at lucid dreaming and was telling me about the best book that he had found on that subject, "The Lucid Dreamer" by Malcolm Godwin. He was showing me the page for the book on Amazon, where it had seventeen 5-Star reviews. I remarked that I didn't think I'd ever seen a book rated that highly. There are usually one or two reviews of any book, however good it is, that are 1 or 2-Stars. "Malcolm Godwin," I kept saying. "I know that author," but I couldn't remember how I knew the name, so we just searched his name. It turns out that he had also written the book, "Who Are You? 101 Ways of Seeing Yourself," which was one of the books that I was directed to obtain during my Cosmic Initiation, which contained the "Eye of the Womb" image that is similar to the Simon game and also represents the Rainbow Body or Light Body in the Bon religion.

The same friend asked me if I had ever seen the film, "The Last Mimzy," a children's movie that deals with spirituality and the universe on a grand scale. I hadn't, but have since watched it. I was amazed. Mimzy is a bunny - rabbit doll that is sent from the future, along with other tools, to a brother and sister in the present day in order to begin a mass awakening and remembering. It's a fascinating story that parallels a lot of the grand universal history and our true nature as beings of light that is being discussed all over the world right now. I highly recommend viewing the film. I was additionally blown away to see that Mimzy has the spiral / swirl symbol on her belly. My friend who turned me on to the film said that it was a movie for the times. Upon viewing it, I completely agree. Being familiar with the Hollywood system and major motion picture production, we both have since wondered just how this film actually got made. Thankfully, it did.

One of the other streams of information that has flowed to me over the past couple of days concerns a reintroduction to the work of Dr. Mitchell Gibson. I was introduced to his story several years ago around the time that he left his medical practice to pursue a particular discipline of scientific consciousness exploration and spirituality. He is both highly intelligent and gifted. Since I first learned about him, he has gone on to found Clairvoyant Medical Technology Systems. This is another place that I wish to visit. There is nothing exactly like it, to my knowledge, anywhere on earth. I came across Mitchell Gibson again through a Blog Talk Radio interview with Anpu Heru entitled, "Is The Conscious Community Spiritually Dead?" which was my introduction to Anpu Heru.

If you are interested in ascension, lunar cycles, the rainbow body, why 2011 is so significant for those of us who wish to ascend, I highly recommend this interview. Among other things, after listening to the show I now understand why I was introduced to the importance of lunar cycles recently in terms of understanding my life mission, which I spoke about in the "Balsamic Moon" post. Anpu further illuminated the importance of the moon's influence in or lives and journeys, and dropped some science about the original central meridian of the earth being in Egypt and how its being moved to Greenwich actually had something to do with how the grand illusion of modern society is spun through the manipulation of time. Coincidentally, I was shown the same information a few days prior and ended up coming across his show completely by chance. Another "ripple" from the universe, as I call them.

Mitchell Gibson is on for about half of the show, and Anpu goes on for a time after that discussing various pertinent subjects that all of us who have either experienced or wish to experience degrees of awakening need to here. It's chock-full of information, and I recommend listening to the show in its entirety. Anpu is on to something - big. For me, many further convergences occurred and I've since listened to the whole show three times. Anpu further reveals many parts of the puzzle that we are trying to figure out and his information neatly dovetails into a lot of what I have learned from my guided information sourcing sessions recently.

Listen, remember and know. It's important because we need to understand what we, as light beings, are about to face in our physical world as the remnants of the Mayan Galactic Cycle deteriorate and we quickly move through the current, short, 260-day Universal Cycle this year as a new era in consciousness begins to emerge. The duality consciousness under which we have been living is going to come to a head with the new unity consciousness. This represents many things that we cannot currently see with our physical eyes. Society will be split over this, as I have seen in visions, and other dimensional forces and entities will become more prevalent during this time, because most of the universal story that will be played out has been purposely hidden from our view. Be prepared. Stay awake.

Full Circles, Rabbit Holes And Mind Control

2011-02-14T21:20:00.000-08:00

Year Zero: Restate my assumptions. Several weeks ago I found myself on Ken Adachi's website, Educate Yourself, while following a link from an article on another site. I'd been to Adachi's website once or twice in the past, but it wasn't a place that I had frequented. There's quite a bit of material there, and I suppose if I were to categorize it as conspiracy site, I would say that it is one of the lighter, more reasonable sites of that kind. That said, there is quite a bit of information there in terms of non-mainstream or offbeat stories, ranging from Project Bluebeam to Tavistock to Vaccines. As with any of the aforementioned subjects, I take it all with a grain of salt, and keep only considerations that I may be able to use to contribute to my mosaic of reality after further multiple cross-checks. The link I had followed led me to a submission from ZS Livingstone that had been written back in 2002, entitled, "Ode To Wingmaker." Curious to see if it had anything to do with James and the WingMakers that I had discovered last autumn, I decided to see what the piece was about, as I hadn't seen much web content outside of the WingMakers site going that far back, although I knew that their own website had already been live online by then.

Livingstone has written a fair amount about Sylphs, also known as the serpentine "spirits of the air" who are represented as the spirits of the Four Winds. He seems to know a lot about Sylphs and communicates with them. I read several of his stories, many of which are about Sylphs, which is what the "Ode" piece was about. I had learned about such spirits in my younger years, though never addressed by a name of any kind. I then returned to the main page on the Educate Yourself site. On the main page was an article about an author named Susan Reed, aka Jennie Gosbell, who had written a book called "The Body Snatchers" back in 2006. The book is available in its entirety on Adachi's website and you can view it from the previous link. Should you choose to read it, please be aware that the grammar, syntax and spelling leaves much to be desired. "How does one find a publisher without the means of a copy editor?" I wondered as I struggled hard at first to engage myself.

That said, the nature of the story that Susan Reed tells is rather intense, bizarre and not all that optimistic. Depending on where you are at in your own journey and what has been revealed to you from the universe, you might have heard the story before, that this planet is essentially a penal colony of sorts, and beings outside of this dimension have broken into the Askashic Records and distorted the normal evolutionary process of humans through repeated erasing of our memories of past lives, thereby causing a repeat or karmic loop for many souls, stunting their growth and development because the ability to learn from mistakes is greatly reduced if one's long term memory has been vanquished. The Akashic Records are stored in one of the astral planes, holding the information about every soul and every action that has ever taken place within the cosmos. Many adept astral travelers have seen them, some of whom have reported the same thing in terms of earth currently being a prison planet. Susan Reed finds out about a similar concept in her book, only it's a net of sorts. If you stop and think about that for a moment, it might explain some things in terms of the way individuals and nations as a whole appear to repeat the same cycles over and over again, making the same mistakes.

Consider for a moment the long-running, manufactured Catholic concept of "Limbo," which had always bothered me in my younger years. There is no Limbo in the scriptures. Limbo was a place that the Vatican created to describe souls that passed on from this physical plane into a state of suspended animation. It wasn't heaven, nor was it hell, but like most teachings, it was introduced into that belief system with a heavy dose of fear. Talk about fabrication. Limbo... really? Stand outside some night when you can see the stars clearly and look up into the heavens. Focus on your breath, your connection to the Creator, who has given you a miraculous life in which you are free to create from your very essence, and you are free to make your own choices within your own life circumstances. We can't even comprehend how large the expanding universe / multiverse is, yet it doesn't take very long to get a sense of how vast and magnificent the universe is, and how wonderful it is that we can perceive its glory and attempt to try and contemplate it.

How great the Creator must be, how wise, how powerful, infinite... All That Is. We can't even begin to approach giving Source any parameters. Our earthly minds don't have that kind of capacity. And yet we get fed concepts like "Limbo" from our self-appointed spiritual gatekeepers. It's sad. As you contemplate such things, try and wrap your head around something as stupid as Limbo, an 800 year-old contrived place, supposedly for those who haven't quite cut the mustard and/or the Creator is too busy to deal with. Unbaptized babies, non-Catholics, etc. Many people, including some of my older relatives, lived their lives in fear of such a place, just like hell. Limbo. Even the name itself is completely redonkulous.

However, from Susan Reed's perspective in "Body Snatchers," although it's not called Limbo, she finds out about a dreadful secret through disclosures from an other-dimensional entity: a net to catch souls departing from the earth in order to hold them in place so that other-dimensional beings can feed off of their life force. Granted, that one's just as "out there" as the Limbo concept, but to me, it certainly makes a bit more sense because it's not the Creator, but others in between the individual souls and Source that have selfishly created an apparatus to serve their own needs. Robert Monroe and others have written about this to varying degrees, and during my initiation period, I did get a distinct sense that the Creator doesn't micro-manage in the ways we've been taught, so maybe there's something else there. I don't know. In light of Susan's story, one has to wonder why the Limbo concept was created by the Vatican and force-fed to the public in the first place? Might they know many things about the universe that we don't? Count on it. I recently read that the Pope decided to drop the Limbo concept as recommended by a council of Catholic theologians, admitting that it was only a hypothesis to begin with. Such a "drop" makes me even more suspicious about some kind of soul net as discussed in "Body Snatchers."

The readability of Susan's book is another matter entirely. Having worked as a journalist for a time in my younger years and more recently as a copy editor for several years, grammar and syntax issues bug me to the point where it often immediately diminishes the value of the author in my eyes and I can find writing of that caliber tortuous to read. I say that having found a few hastily posted items on this blog about which I felt the same way, although not nearly that bad in terms of pure sloppiness. Suffice it to say, Susan's story is one tall tale. It was one of the reasons that I ended up reading it in its entirety. What's even more interesting is that she was found dead while vacationing in the Bahamas in late 2009. The circumstances around her death, drowning, have been the subject of some controversy, at least from her parent's point of view, who had demanded further inquiry from their home in the UK. Some of Susan's readers in web forums also felt the same way, as Susan warns of her own potential death within the book as a potential penalty for revealing the book's subject matter to the public. Her death was ruled accidental in April of last year. From what I read from various sources about the details surrounding Susan's death, it definitely seems as though she could have died under suspicious circumstances, but nobody will ever really know what exactly happened.

As stated previously on this blog, I have wanted to keep conspiracy subjects out of this venue as I believe that job is already being done elsewhere to a great degree at this time. The throngs that typically surround the popular conspiracy websites are usually a turn-off for me, often exemplifying the herd or mob mentality, at least from my point of view, and that's something that I try to avoid. "Beware the Meme," is my constant caution. Memes are contagious and can affect thought patterns. There is a great book on the subject that I read a last year called "Virus of the Mind," by Richard Brodie when it was in hardcover. Thought forms are miniature energy systems. They have life and can grow just like anything else. We can also serve as hosts or incubators for thought forms while they grow, feeding off of our life force. Memes, also the foundation components of belief systems, are mind viruses. If one spends too much time in conspiracy circles getting caught up in memes, it can lower one's vibration. Careful consideration and moderation are key.

After reading Susan's story, I thought briefly about focusing a post on it, and then quickly discarded the notion. What she outlined in the story were many things that I was familiar with and had read about in various places well before the arrival of the internet. In fact, in my earlier years, especially throughout the 80s, my two favorite subjects in terms of reading where NDEs (near death experiences) and biblical prophecy. Susan had been in touch with David Icke with some frequency prior to her death, and there was a short article regarding her death on David's website several months after it had occurred. I first discovered David's work in the 80s and have loosely kept tabs on him ever since. He is a strong soul, valiant one might say, and certainly a man of his convictions. In recent years I have followed his work a bit more closely than I did from the mid 90s to mid 00s. In the mid 90s as I pursued meditation and learning about Buddhism, I put aside many of the subjects I had been pursuing in my reading during previous years. There was a distinct reason I chose to do so.

When I was around twelve or thirteen years old, I read a book by evangelist David Wilkerson called, "The Vision." Wilkerson was a famed preacher in evangelical circles, noted for his courageous decision to leave Pennsylvannia for New York City in the early 60s, in order to seek out and "save" members of the Latino gang, the Mau Maus, after seeing a television news piece about how a young man was allegedly murdered by same. He eventually converted the Mau Maus' then-leader, Nicky Cruz, to Christianity, and to my knowledge, Cruz himself remains a preacher to this day. Wilkerson has also maintained a church in NY's Times Square ever since that time.

David Wilkerson later turned the story into a best-selling book called "The Cross and the Switchblade," which was eventually turned into a movie starring Erik Estrada and Pat Boone. Several years later, his book, "The Vision," was published and has since been reissued and expanded with a longer title. In that book, David described a series of events that he saw coming that were full of awe and wonder in terms of dark turns that he saw coming for society as a whole across the globe. As I grew older, still at that time in my inherited belief system, I used Wilkerson's book as a benchmark in terms of unfolding events in the media so that I might be able to gauge where we stood in terms of time and biblical end times. I read many other books after that from so-called prophets, seers and sages, and eventually my horizons expanded into NDEs, technology, sociology and conspiracy, including books like, "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and a variety of others up until the early 90s.

Prior to entering into a government job in the early 80s, I had studied theology for some time. Still grounded within my inherited belief system, I used to drive my instructors somewhat crazy with questions and contradictions, but I didn't hold a candle to people like George Carlin and others who seemed to "get it" long before I did. I wasn't a W.C. Fields type that went "looking for loopholes," in the scriptures. I simply had many sincere questions about a lot of things that just didn't add up for me and sought cogent answers whenever I could get them, even if that simply meant, "I don't know." Being raised Catholic and attending an old school New York Catholic school in my early years, and then our family converting to Pentacostalism when I was about eleven years old left me with a lot of questions as to why certain groups believe one thing, others another and each requires that you believe they are infallible lest you face the wrath of an angry god. That always stuck with me, and as I grew older and began to study cults, mind control and various other dogmas from an observational perspective, my questions really began to increase. It was also around that time, from the late 70s up through the early 90s that I regularly engaged in various forms of consciousness expansion. What started as innocent trips into the woo-woo eventually became regularly scheduled group sessions of exploration by 1985, which I will expand upon a bit later on in this post.

Several years prior to that, in late September of 1983, I had my first full-blown encounter with a dark entity. I was working for the government at the time, and outside of my job, I ran with a rather progressive group of hipsters in New York. We were all fully engaged in the post-punk music and art scenes, and I would often use virtually all of my spare time organizing, preparing for and hosting parties and various group trips around the city exploring concerts and after hours clubs. I was a club kid. This had been going on full-tilt for about two and a half years before the fateful September night, and by then my roommates and I had turned our house into a non-stop weekend party and crash destination for club-goers in the city and western Long Island. Some nights there would be well over fifty people there, with as many as twenty crashing there each night. It was during this time that a close friend began to become interested in witchcraft.

In much the same way that we would borrow and trade 7-inch singles from the likes of The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Cramps, along with various counter-culture books, one night upon leaving one of the parties this friend pulled a black hardbound book from his jacket pocket and said, "You know, I've been getting into this stuff. You should check it out," and left the book with me as he departed. It was a very old book. I remember the dark black binding and the red letter embroidered (or embossed; it was raised and unique) title on the book's face, although I don't remember the actual title of the book. I don't recall even opening it to see what the book contained. I had messed around with seances in the past, but nothing serious. The dark arts never much appealed to me, and with my early belief system still intact at that time, I had a palpable fear of god and understood certain areas were best off limits for me in terms of conjuring or pledging any kind of allegiance to other-worldly entities.

The book was in the house for about three days, and remained in the living room where I'm not even sure if any of my roommates even bothered to look at it. Then, on a rather normal Tuesday night, I went to bed at around 11:30pm, with my stereo on softly, tuned to WLIR, the nation's first alternative commercial radio station, as was customary for me at the time. I had two roommates. We all worked together during the day. One, who was married but separated from his wife, had chosen to stay with her at her place that night because they were trying to reconcile. The other one was a communications specialist, who typically worked shifts of twelve hours on, twelve hours off four days a week. The house was empty except for me. I can remember falling asleep, door closed, and looking at the soft blue glow of the stereo receiver on the other side of the room as I closed my eyes. I quickly fell asleep.

When I was awakened, several states of awareness became apparent to me in a matter of milliseconds. First, I was paralyzed and couldn't move my body at all. Second, I wasn't exactly sure just where I was, as I was fully consciousness and hyper-aware in complete blackness. I felt as though I was still in my room. I had a slight sense of it, but not in the typical astral sense to which I was accustomed. I had astral traveled many times in the past, usually involuntarily, and I instantly knew that this was different, yet I couldn't find any bearing in terms of the astral plane in relation to my room or my body for that matter. It seemed as though I was still in my bedroom, but not. As instantly as all of that data was processed, I became aware of something distinctly greater: I was not alone. There was a presence, positioned at what would be about six or seven feet away from me just inside of the door of my room, and I immediately knew - in a cosmic sense - that It knew who I was and I - on some level outside of my normal sphere of consciousness - knew either who or at least what It was.

I was terrified beyond belief. Terrified doesn't even begin to articulate what I felt. There are no words to describe it. An ant at the feet of an enormous giant. I instantly felt as if the planet earth was a million miles away, and It and myself were the only two energetic presences I could perceive infinitely, in sea of complete blackness. Alone, just the two of us. I also "knew" deep within my soul, that It could obliterate me into pieces in a second. This sense of knowing was beyond anything I'd ever experienced in my physical life up until that point, and I found it hard to fathom the feelings since they were so far beyond my normal parameters of perception. The next sense of knowing that came into my awareness, and we're still talking seconds at this point, was that I realized that I could shift my focus in any direction, as if I was pinned to the center of a circle, but I was detached from my physical body and in essence, couldn't move anywhere within this space, only turn and shift focus from the designated point that I found myself in. I focused my attention in the complete opposite direction of where I felt the entity was positioned, although I still perceived my surroundings in a 360° sense.

Another horrid realization filtered through my being: the amount of what we call evil and what we could possibly conceive in terms of the worst, most horrific abominations that could be committed within our physical world on earth could not even hold a candle to this entity's sheer, raw, unbridled power. I perceived that the power that this entity held could have slaughtered the entire planet in an instant, and that was only a tiny portion of It's immense power. I panicked. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't see It, and was horrified that if the blackness lifted and I could see It, I wouldn't be able to handle whatever I would see, as the power that It exuded was well beyond my comprehension. The next thing that happened was a very large, light greenish-yellow eye moved across the field of vision of my mind's eye from left to right rather quickly. I hadn't felt anything come any closer to me, and from what I could sense, I felt as though It might have been six or seven feet to the left of my bed near the door. I cried out to god, to Jesus, to save me from whatever this entity was, and said that over and over and over until I sensed in an instant It was no longer there.

This had only been a matter of a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity. Along with the feeling of being millions of miles away from the earth was also a feeling of timelessness. The next thing I knew my eyes opened, I was surprised to see that I was still in the same position in which I had fallen asleep, noticing the soft blue glow of the stereo as my eyes opened. I still couldn't move my body for several minutes, but slowly strained and focused my eyes hesitantly toward the door of my room, which was toward the left corner of the foot of my bed in the direction that I was lying on my side. To my amazement, I immediately noticed that there was what looked like an open black umbrella suspended in mid-air near the ceiling, slightly angled down, maybe at 30 degrees, pointed in my direction. I stared at it, fascinated, wondering what it was. Until very recently, I've never been able to even attempt to figure out what that was. Was it a symbol? If so, what did it mean? This bothered me for years until I finally gave up trying to figure it out.

About a week ago, I came across renderings of something called the Osiris Device (or Ta-Wer) on William Henry's website, and then I saw it again several days later in a book by James Evan Bomaer III that I will mention as later in this post. The device is essentially a guarded, ancient secret tool for creating wormholes. This umbrella-like object was much darker than the surrounding room, and I could see it very clearly. It was suspended in mid-air, and appeared to go into the ceiling, but I could still see it as one full object as if the ceiling wasn't there. I couldn't see a stem or handle, and because it looked exactly like an umbrella, I began to count the edges and noticed that it had eight sides along its outer edge. In an instant after I counted the sides, it suddenly disappeared. As it did so, fear immediately began to engulf me as I dreaded that whatever it was might return and I'd have a heart attack on the spot. At that time, I was a highly trained law enforcement officer, and my sense of "ooh-rah" adrenaline was pumping so hard that it felt like my ears were going to explode. Another minute or two went by before I realized that I was able to move my physical body again, and I slowly positioned myself to leap off of the bed, much like a cat. I figured I had one quick shot at the light switch. I then jumped off of the bed and made a mad dash for the light switch near the door in about two steps. I hit the wall hard and flicked the switch. Light on. I turned around and went over to the stereo and turned the volume up, then went back to the door, slowly opening the it to find that a light was on in the living room.

At that time, I didn't know that I was the only one in the house. Anyone could have come or gone, as at that time I didn't know how long I had been asleep. I thought it was about 4am. It sure felt like it. I went to both of my roommate's doors, knocked and opened the doors almost simultaneously, only to see empty beds in each room. I turned the lights on in their rooms, followed by every other light, television and stereo in the entire house. My next thought, since it was still dark out, was "What time is it? How long had I been sleeping?" It was 12:13am. I hadn't even been asleep for 45 minutes. I spent the rest of the night sitting on the top of the back of our large couch in the living room with my feet on the seat cushions, chain smoking cigarettes. I didn't know when exactly either of my roommates would return, but there was no way that I was going to go back to sleep. I knew I had to be a work at 8am as well, but I had so much adrenaline pumping during those hours that I didn't care. I was scared to sleep for the next several days. Around 7:20am, my roommate who was the communications specialist, returned with his breakfast in hand. His first comment upon seeing me on top of the couch with my back against the wall was, "Dude," (he was from California), "What are you doing? You look like you saw a ghost," with a surprised expression and a smile on his face, expecting that I was going to play some kind of joke on him.

I proceeded to ramble to my roommate for several minutes about what had happened as he spread out his breakfast on the coffee table and began to eat. He was taken aback that I had ended up sitting there all night, but told me that he was convinced that something extraordinary had happened because he'd never seen me that pale and nervous before. I felt I had no choice but to sit in a place where I could see much of the one-story house with all of the electronic devices switched on. I was still more than wide awake, and I had to be at work soon. I quickly got dressed and headed out the door to grab a coffee and more cigarettes from the delicatessen that was three doors down from us on the corner before I got in my car and went to work. I headed down the front walkway and made a right on to the sidewalk, anxious to get a coffee. As I was passing the first neighbor's house, I heard buzzing, but it didn't register at first. I was on a mission with the clock ticking, hoping that I wouldn't be late for work. When I got to where I was passing one of the two large shrubs that were at the end of the our immediate neighbor's driveway, a swarm of large, green-eyed flies came out of the shrub and surrounded me. They were big, but not quite as big as horseflies.

I'd never seen that many flies concentrated in one place in my life. It was like a cloud that had mass, there were so many of them. They startled me. I began flailing my arms and then I burst into a sprint as fast as I could down to the deli on the corner. By the time I hit the front door of the deli, I had gotten away from the cloud. As I returned down the sidewalk to get into my car, which was in front of our house, there were no flies at all in or around the shrub. That day I could hardly focus on work. I sat at my desk and typed a letter to myself, vividly describing what had happened so that I would never forget it. It was all I could do that day. Thankfully it was a slow day and I wasn't called to do anything outside of the office. I carried the paper, a fully typed page, single spaced, in my wallet for the next six or seven years before somehow eventually lost track of it. I tried to incorporate every detail I could, stopping occasionally and typing, "Never forget this" in capital letters. I know I never thew the piece of paper away, but one day in the early 90s I noticed that it was gone and I never came across it in any of my household boxes.

That night when I got home from work, both of my roommates were there, and I recounted what had happened during the previous evening. I had located my friend's book on witchcraft while we talked, and had then postulated with my roommates as to whether or not that book being in the house could have had anything to do with what happened. There was no way to tell. Still, I called the friend who had given it to me the previous weekend, and virtually demanded that he come by the house because I wanted to give him the book back. He came, we all talked for a bit and he happily took back the book and left. We had been friends for a few years, but as it turned out I never saw him after that night. As it got later, my roommates went to bed. I sat for a couple of hours by myself until it was about 1:15am, with the thought of "Call your parents and tell them what happened," repeatedly playing over and over in my mind. I was in my early 20s then, and my parents lived north of Boston at the time, so we were in the same time zone. I was raised in New York and we moved to Chicago when I was ten, where I lived with my family for about eight years until I moved to California and began working for the government. I returned to New York several years before this time after attending school in northern California. As I debated calling my parents, all I could think of was that I was going to wake them up and they were going to think I was completely nuts, but I couldn't find any peace. Even knowing my roommates were both in the house, I was too scared to sleep.

Finally, I called my parents and my mom answered the phone. I began to tell her what had happened, hoping for encouragement and guidance - yet feeling almost certain that I wouldn't find any peace or answers - and would instead most likely get a healthy serving of bible-based condemnation. Surprisingly, my mom listened, and said after several minutes, "I'm going to let your father talk to you. He has something he wants to tell you." My dad got on the line. "Hey guy. I've been listening to part of what you've said. Tell me again what the details were." I did so, and when I was done, to my amazement, my father said, "Okay. Listen. From what you're describing, it sounds exactly like an experience I had about eleven years or so ago when were first planning to move to Chicago. It was when we had already bought the new house, and I was taking trips to Chicago, staying in the house for days at a time before you guys moved out there. I was alone in the house when this happened to me as well."

He went on to tell me that although he didn't know the specifics of what was going on in my life, he thought that I was clearly at a crossroads of some kind, and I was likely being shown that I had two paths to choose. He told me that I should spend time considering my life and potential directions I might be headed in, and exercise some sound judgment in terms of my future decisions. I didn't mention the book, since I didn't know if it had anything to do with the occurrence. Wow. I was beside myself. Talk about validity. It would still be another couple of hours before I decided to go to sleep, but I felt a sense of peace that I hadn't had prior to speaking with my parents. At the same time, the fact that the same experience happened to my father raised even more questions as to the nature of the encounter and what it meant. For years afterward, I would cautiously anticipate the arrival of the anniversary date, and slept with the lights on in my bedroom for many years thereafter. I had never been afraid of the dark prior to that point, but this experience changed all of that for some time when it came to sleeping in the dark. I moved out of the house a couple of months after that to live with my girlfriend at the time. About six months after that, I moved to Boston. I found about about a phenomenon called Night Terrors after that time, read about them for a time and several years later caught a show on cable that explored the topic, showing people from sleep studies who were jumping around on beds, terrified. Although similar in some ways, I knew that my experience with the entity was entirely different.

By 1984, I had amassed a new set of hipster friends in Boston. We had the means whereby we could do journey work on a regular basis. Without going into detail regarding the means, let me just say that Terence McKenna would have been extremely proud. I had read about Timothy Leary, McKenna and others, but it would be another fifteen years before I could put my experiences in Boston from '84-'86 into perspective regarding the depth in which we engaged in something that we knew little about. We had a core group of four couples that would regularly get together, occasionally augmented by as many as ten to fifteen others. We got together nearly every weekend for over two years. Sometimes at homes, other times in deserted public places late at night, and down the rabbit hole we would go. When I look back at it now, I wish that I had the knowledge I possess at present to do such explorations. We were innocent as children in many ways, and our adventures were primarily fun, beautiful and quite amazing. Although I had always considered myself a shaman of one sort or another, partially because of the mediums through which I was creating art at the time and partly because of my open, exploratory nature when it came to consciousness and exploring the frontiers of reality, I hadn't read much about shamanism at that point, just Castaneda, and it would still be several years before I dismantled my inherited belief system.

It was "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts" during this time. I estimate as a group we made seventy or so journeys into the woo-woo over the course of two years. I had engaged in some similar experiences prior to the forming of this group and ended up doing a few in the early 90s, but nothing compared to this time. The means through which we connected was on-par with DMT, no doubt about it. I'm talking full-blown, welcome to another dimension here. Conversations with beings, bold, vivid planetary landscapes, architecture and a heightened sense of perception that made music seem like it came from everywhere. Eating fruit was like having an orgasm and was one of our favorite things to do during the lulls between drifting into other worlds during these trips. Sex was incredible, though I should mention that it was not engaged in by the group as a whole; only the life partners one on one in private. We were very focused, respectful and loving to one another. Nearly every single one of these experiences was pure bliss. We would experiment like crazy by preparing our environments prior to "take off" so that we could enhance what we were doing (lights, sounds) in any way that we could think of during the work week prior to getting together. I had experimented with all kinds of "tools" prior to this, and I can state without a doubt that this particular blend of enhancement tools was far and above anything I had ever experienced before or after that time, including the many natural, holistic tools and the pharmaceuticals that were available at the time. It was completely unique.

A couple of times we set up strobe lights and sat as a group in front of them for three or four hours straight, remarkably enjoying what appeared to be group hallucinations that were like gateways into particular types of experiences. I don't recommend that for anyone, as the residue it leaves on your eyes stays with you for long hours afterward and can really become annoying. I learned so many things in terms of how thoughts arise in our brains as images through these journeys. I eventually found this point in my mind where it occurred, as if images were projected from somewhere in the back of my brain on to what I know as my mind's eye, which would vividly be displayed on the inside of my eyelids with as much of a sense of reality as we each experience the day to day physical world. Thoughts came initially as images that looked like intricate paintings that arose from what appeared like the surface of still water, as if you would see a canvas rise out of water and stop. They were beautifully detailed images. I eventually learned to control this process and juxtapose combinations of images in extremely interesting ways. Possibilities seemed endless. I called it my pool of creativity and became enthralled at how amazing it was. I sensed this was the same for all of us, and felt blessed that the Creator gave us such wonderfully amazing mental potential.

These were joyous, wonderful times, and our group grew closer and closer. All of the walls between us came down very quickly, and over time it was like we were a closely knit family enjoying our own private amusement park on a weekly basis. So many things happened, so many discoveries. It was blissful in many ways. At one point well-into the two year run, the group was all at my apartment, where I lived with my girlfriend at the time. It was a brownstone building with high ceilings. Everyone was doing their thing. We were all lost in our own worlds, on our own journeys and it was relatively quiet in the early morning hours. I was sitting at a table in the living room, and had gone into the other-worldly state very deeply. As I came back to a fully conscious / awakened state within the physical world, I opened my eyes and saw the room that I was in come slowly into focus as if I was approaching it from afar through a tunnel. The curtains in the living room started to become clear to me. I recognized the pattern. They were a light blue color with long stemmed flowers on them. As they came into view, I was able to ascertain where I was, and from the perspective of where I had just been, the thought that came to mind was, "Wait. This is where I am in my life right now - only here? Oh, man," as if I had already lived way beyond that point and knew that there was much more experience ahead of me. I was slightly bummed out, but the feeling of what caused that perspective really intrigued me for some time afterward.

Toward the end of this time of multiple journeys, things began to change. Two of the last three times that we entered into this state, I had what you would call bad trips into the other-zones. One night a found myself in a dark labyrinth, where the usual full-color perceptions where all only hazy degrees of purple and pink. The walls looked like cotton candy or spider webs. When doing this type of journey and entering into other worlds, often when one comes back to the physical world and full-color perception of the other-worlds breaks down, as it decays one see's what appears to be somewhat like a wire framework. First, most of the colors dissolve, then a reddish frame of the objects that were in view remains, finally shrinking further to purple outlines before thinning and completely disappearing. Anyone who has use psilocybin mushrooms has probably seen the purples and reds in wavy streams, although without ever getting beyond that point if that's how far you've ventured, one never realizes the profundity of the full light spectrum that lies beyond. After the labyrinth, I journeyed down what seemed like an endless curving and descending mineshaft at one point, eventually confronted with the feeling that I wouldn't be able to make it back because the length of the fall seemed endless. Both the labyrinth and the seeming mineshaft were similar, although the shaft was set against a darker black backdrop.

In later years I came to understand this as going into the lower astral planes. Back then it just scared me and I started to get the sense that it was time to move on, yet we continued a little further. One night shortly thereafter, our group had gathered with some of our other friends and there were about fifteen of us, ready for a long night of enjoyment and exploration. It was like any other night, early Spring of 1986 and everyone was having a good time for the first few hours. We were at a friend's home that night, and I was sitting with my girlfriend on the couch in the living room watching television. Typically we would go in and out of this major hallucinatory state for extended periods, come out for few minutes or so, drink some water or eat some fruit and then disappear into other worlds again. We were all able to easily function normally again during the breaks before going back into the etherial worlds as our experience levels increased over time. The television was tuned to MTV, and the Grace Jones video for "Love Is The Drug" came on. Although most of us worked in the music scene, nobody had never seen that video before, a Roxy Music cover that she had done years earlier that wasn't one of her more popular songs. Like virtually all of what we experienced, this particular video was amazing in that state of mind, and soon everyone was crowded around the television as my girlfriend and I were ranting about how incredible video was. Viewing now for the first time since then, it was definitely ahead of it's time.

When the video ended, an MTV station promo came on. Seconds after it appeared and I saw the MTV logo, I experienced something so riveting that I jumped to my feet in astonishment. It was if in an instant, everything that I had come to know as the world in which we live and how I perceived it, changed. Bam! Thunderstruck. Like blinders coming off of my eyes, I suddenly began to see the television, the channel, the promo and soon what would end up being everything around me in a completely different light. It felt like having a thick skin pulled off of me and it hurt, badly. On the Scare-O-Meter, I'd put it a close second to my entity encounter back in '83. It scared me to death. My perspective had totally changed. What I saw now was a complete, total, theretofore unrecognized matrix of mind control in plain sight. There it was, and it was ugly. It was like my soul rang like a bell. I felt dirty. I wanted to jump out of my skin. It was so profound, so in-my-face, so overwhelming and so undeniably real that I didn't know what to do with myself. I couldn't sit still. I began pacing around the room, with everyone coming up to me and asking me if I was okay. In a complete reversal of the uber-comfortable vibe that we had enjoyed as a group for the previous two years, I didn't want anyone to touch me. I quickly retreated to the bathroom and stood there as my body uncontrollably buzzed, vibrating wildly. It was like I had been an electrical device that suddenly had freezing cold water poured over it and I began to short circuit. I couldn't deny what I was feeling.

"Truth. See it as it is," kept echoing in my brain. I tried to calm myself down as those same words kept repeating in my mind. I fell to my knees and began to pray. "What is this?" I couldn't wrap my head around it or where it was coming from but it was an awareness that I couldn't deny. Nothing had changed, just the way I saw and felt everything. I stood up a few moments after that, looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Where is this coming from? Am I really seeing the world as it is?" My first reaction was that I didn't want this knowledge, despite all of my experience and education in the past. The next sensation that I felt was like having carbonated soda poured in through the crown of my head. It felt like a bubbling sensation begin to fill my entire body from the top down. "Yesss." The word flowed down and vibrated through my body as if the word was intermingled with the sensation of the bubbles. Without me even having time to react, I found my inner being responding by vibrating back instantaneously, "Father!" without having any time for a conscious decision to respond. It was involuntary and I felt like I was observing a greater part of myself from my left brain.

What amazed me about the auto-response was that my inner being recognized the voice as my father before I could even realize it, but it was not the voice of my earthly father. I was shocked. I had always called my earthly father dad as well, and never used the other word in personal interactions as I felt it was too formal. The next thing I new people were pounding on the bathroom door, asking if I was okay. I quickly calmed myself and emerged from the bathroom, found my girlfriend, grabbed her by the arm and told her that we had to leave. She was still pretty zoned, and everyone in the home was unnerved at what had happened to me. I had the overwhelming urge to just go home, sit and try and sort out what this was. Extremely strange, vivid dreams followed for weeks afterward, where sometimes I felt I was with a companion, possibly an angel, that was several feet taller than me, showing me things, always standing to my right. In one dream I saw that what I was doing as a deejay at the time (massive sound systems, throbbing repetitive beats and basslines) was what Aldus Huxley had written about in "Brave New World," calling it the "Superwirlitzer." I saw the energy forms that I was creating inside of nightclubs. But one dream in particular stood out from the rest.

I was with the taller being and he was standing on my right. We were at a concert venue, up above the crowd to the right of the stage. I recognized that the band playing was The Cure. The Cure had been one of my favorite bands since '81 and I had seen them several times. "What are we doing here?" I said to my tall angelic friend. "Watch." He pointed his right hand toward the center of the stage. Robert Smith was singing, and the crowd was really getting into the show. Just then I noticed someone walking down a center aisle that went to the stage. He pulled out a large knife and started stabbing himself in the chest and then fell to his knees. None of the concert goers seemed to notice or care and that bothered me. The continued to be enthralled by the band. Just like that, the scene closed and I woke up. I told my close friends what I had seen, and about three months later I was with one of them and he said, "Sit down. I have something to tell you." He proceeded to tell me that while he was at a photo shoot the day before (he was a model at the time), that a stylist told him that someone had committed suicide at a Cure show. "I had to tell you that, since that dream you had was so bizarre."

I hadn't even intended to include that story in this post, but for some reason I feel compelled to write about this, and all of the information in this post, which keeps getting longer and longer. I don't know why. I just now, as I write this, decided to check online and see if there's a link to a story like that, and here it is. I don't know what it meant or why it was shown to me. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck when I think about it. I never sought out information about the details of the incident back then, taking my friend's word for it at the time. I later heard that this incident did take place from others, however, this was way before the internet, so information wasn't nearly as readily available as it is now and I didn't feel like going to a library to search for something like that. Apparently, from what the online story says, the man survived. I did not know that. At the time of the dream I assumed it was a suicide. It was rather a relief to just read about it now, but I still don't know why this or other things were shown to me. It was also something that happened on the other side of the country, and concerned nobody that I knew. Anyway, that was the last of my journey work for some time to come. Whether this real life incident was precisely what I had seen remains unclear, however, the measure of coincidence and the timing is far to high for me to ignore. At that point I suppose you could say that I was a little freaked out.

The type of waking "knowing" experience that began with the Grace Jones video I would later describe to friends as "soul shocks." They continued off and on for several years afterward. I could never tell when one was going to happen. I could be reading a magazine, looking at a billboard, watching television, listening to a song or just talking to someone and "Rip!" It would be as though the insular blinders would fall right off again and I would see clearly that we are living within is some kind of mass mind-controlled society. Every time a soul shock happened, I wanted to run and hide. I couldn't turn it off. Often it made me nauseous and claustrophobic. When it came over me, it just came, and sometimes it would stay with me for hours. My heart rate would increase, I would start to sweat and occasionally, if the soul shock was intense, I would literally tremble. Many times the trembling events would be spawned if I happened to be watching the news. I could clearly see that society was quickly headed down a path to a place that none of us wanted to be in, as if it was all orchestrated along various aspects of probability, and that we were being programmed to accept a reality that runs contrary to our true nature. I could see how deep the illusion was during these experiences. It was crystal clear to me and I dreaded whenever the next soul shock would occur. For several weeks after the first shock, I found it very difficult to talk to people other than my girlfriend.

A few days after the first soul shock, I was deejaying at a nightclub where I was a resident mixologist and had a chance to take a break after I introduced a band that was playing that night. I went outside and sat on the curb, still desperately trying to figure out what had happened during that initial shock. I sat with my head in my hands, still shattered by the experience every time I thought about it. A hand touched my shoulder, and I looked up to see one of the guys I worked with who was doing security that night standing next to me. He was a friend and had been to a few of our gatherings over the previous two years but wasn't there on that particular night of the first shock. "Hey. You okay? I heard what happened." He sat down next to me. We both stared across the street. "You know there's no turning back from this. They know who you are now," he said. I turned and looked at him, and couldn't think of anything to say. We locked eyes and I just stared at him for a few moments. As he looked back at me he remained silent. After another minute or so, he slowly broke into a soft smile, stood up, patted me a couple of times on the shoulder, turned and went back into the club. Did he know something I didn't? He was highly intelligent and was attending Harvard at the time. I definitely didn't feel like he was patronizing in the least. After all, we were good friends and I knew him to be a very compassionate person.

What he said profoundly affected me from that point forward. We never talked about it again, and I never asked him to whom he was referring. It just seemed to fit somehow and I took it to mean that he understood that I had broken through some kind of barrier, even though the "they" he spoke of was unknown to me. An earthly they? An other worldly they? I had no way of knowing and figured that ultimately it didn't really matter. Our group pretty much disbanded after that. One of my closest friends in the group started a story around the experience saying that I freaked out. But I knew that wasn't true. We were extremely safety conscious and part of my government training in previous years was as a paramedic. I had journeyed so often by that time that I knew when I was in control and when I wasn't, and from the time I stood up in front of the television when the first soul shock occurred, I was as sober and grounded as a slab of granite. This was something different and I knew it. As much as we pushed the envelope into experiencing other worlds, this was no freak out. This was some kind of shift for me, some wall I had broken through.

The soul shocks continued until some time into 1993. Maybe five or six times a year, lessening in frequency and intensity as time went on. I never saw them coming. The last time one of severe intensity occurred was during the winter of 1993, while I was in Florida visiting my parents in their vacation home. Everyone had gone to bed and it was close to midnight. My mom and I were in the dining room. It was my first night there. We were catching up and she said, "Oh, we've been going to this great church lately. The woman is a prophet and she's really inspired. You have to hear her." She went to grab a cassette and put it in a player on the dining room table. We listened for a few minutes as we continued to talk, eventually moving to the nearby couch in the living room as the cassette played. The volume on the cassette player was low, and quite frankly I wasn't even paying attention to it after a few minutes as we continued to talk on the couch.

The woman on the tape began to talk about a prophecy her daughter had received regarding Saddam Hussein that had come to her in a lucid dream or vision. The delivery of the prophecy contained a song that the mother (prophet) began to sing at one point. She said that Saddam was key to a series of unfolding events that would trigger a change in the course of history, sending us into what the bible calls the end times. She began to describe a process whereby we would go to war with Iraq again because attacks would occur in the US and that world events would be shaped into such a way by international government agencies that life around the civilized world would change drastically. I learned all of this the next day in detail after going back and listening to the cassette by myself, but it was the song that struck something inside of me, like a child's song that I had heard before. I fast-forwarded over the song during my second listen. There were only three lines to the song. It was simple and had a semi-haunting, semi-playful melody to it. The song supposedly came from an angel that said to the prophet's daughter that the hosts of heaven all knew the song. I couldn't listen to it again. It was etched in my brain. After all these years I can still hear it clearly.

Back to my initial reaction to the song as the woman began to sing on the tape: Upon hearing the woman sing the song-part of the prophecy, before I even realized it, my body stood up straight, and I began to tremble uncontrollably. "It's going to happen, it's going to happen," I just kept repeating that over and over and I could not stop shaking. The degree to which I trembled was greater than the first soul shock back in '86. As I said, up until that point during the initial playing of the cassette, I wasn't even listening to the tape anymore. It was that song, like a reminder that you left something burning on the stove in your home and you're miles away when an eerily cold reality smacks you in the face as you realize your house is probably on fire by now. My mom looked scared and her eyes filled up with tears. She put her arms firmly around me in an effort to get me to stop shaking. I couldn't believe it. I had virtually no control of myself.

The song triggered a major soul shock - and a deja-vu of epic proportions, like I was remembering something that I had learned long ago that indicated a tipping point would eventually occur, one that I learned about somewhere but couldn't recall where. I couldn't place where the deja-vu was coming from, but it felt like I knew this information somewhere deep inside of me. My knees went out and my mom held me and made sure I settled back down on the couch. With the knowing came a sense of "this will the beginning of the end - everything from then on begins the steep decline." Not the end of the world, but an end to the world that I had come to know up until that point. I felt sick. I wanted to throw up. I felt like I could see that it was all part of a master plan of mind control, and that Saddam would be used as an instrument in a plan to further bring about restrictions people's perceptions and their freedoms in coming years. It was going to be the alarm bell for the rise of the international police state.

I wanted so badly to just run away from my mind at that point, but there was obviously no place to go. That's quite a strange sensation to experience and one that outside of the soul shocks, I was not accustomed to feeling. I couldn't deny the sense of truth that overcame me in terms of what the woman on the tape was saying, and this despite the fact that by that point in my life, I had written off so-called prophets nearly completely after years of watching predictions fail. In the days after I returned home, I rummaged through a closet to find my old copy of "The Vision" and sat down to read it for the first time since the late 70s. I was startled by some of what I had forgotten that Wilkerson had predicted back in the late 60s when he received his vision and wrote that book. Much of what he said had already come to pass by late '93. Thankfully, my soul shocks subsided after that, and I haven't had a significant one since, even as the September 11th attacks occurred and I watched the television. That morning I just felt extremely sad and generally ill, especially since it was my place of birth and home during two periods of my life.

However, as the hours passed and they started tossing Hussein's name around as potential a culprit or collaborator, that song flew into my head again. I hadn't thought about it in many years. I wondered if we would go to war in Iraq again, and if we did, if this eight year old prophecy about to come true. The whole drama of the attacks seems quite contrived to me now, even blatantly obvious. I see the public being sold a story while larger interests are at play. There are way too many loose ends, and when one figures into the equation the further permeation of Milton Friedman's models of disaster capitalism (problem: reaction: solution), it's as easy as "duh" for me, without regard to any prophecies. Having worked for the government and seen things from the inside, how problems are dealt with and created, it's a no brainer.

I had read about PNAC before 2001. The conspiracy movements have that one right in my view, along with the Kennedys. It's the military industrial complex and the intelligence agencies and to them, it's just business, pure and simple. The powers that be know that they can play these people like those electrified dancing chickens that they used to have in the windows of shops decades ago, because the myth of the greater picture is virtually impenetrable. "Boo! Gotcha." It's just another day at the office for them. You have to stand in awe of the tremendous power of belief systems and how people can be manipulated through their beliefs. That's a whole other rabbit hole. I don't follow any of the conspiracy sites. They can bring down one's vibration. I know new bits of information have trickled out here and there, some very recently, but what's done is done. It only serves for perspective at this point. It broke my heart to watch it happen as it did.

I did some of what I would call mild, journey-related work a couple of times after that, but those experiences didn't come anywhere near the degree of the late 80s excursions. It wasn't until December of this past year that I had a chance to explore salvia divinorum, during which time I very cautiously experienced the highest dosage value available, in an effort to explore what that was like after listening to a Terence McKenna video lecture on salvia that was recorded before he passed. That too, was nowhere near the other-dimensional experiences of the past, and frankly I found the experience to be extremely overrated, even at the maximum available potency. I sort of felt like it was a joke compared to what I was used to and was ultimately very disappointed. I did, however, have experiences. One of the reasons that I decided to try it was to seek answers for my current life situation. I carefully made preparations, meditated and chanted for a time before taking off, and anxiously awaited an extraordinary experience. Before doing so, I thought about the earlier times, and how much more I now know about shamanism and journey work. I felt more confident in terms of being able to use the salvia experiences to seek specific answers as opposed to exploration and the certain entertainment value that was my approach in the past.

I tried it several times over the course of two days. The first thing that I noticed was that the physical reality around me appeared to me like it was being projected from a long tube that curved and went upward, slightly curving, as if I was at the end of a long funnel or cone, the borders of which were adorned with pleasing geometries that all seemed to be moving in a balanced motion around the inside wall of the tube. In a larger sense, it also seemed like a wheel or a clock, like it was being rolled and turning. The next thing I saw on the first run were what looked like holographic snapshots from various points when I was a small child; luminescent, transparent photos that had a sweet sense of nostalgia to them. I sensed no beings around me during multiple excursions, which disappointed me, as I had reached out to guides and guardian angels prior in mediation, letting them know that I was seeking guidance and some direction.

Each time was relatively the same thing, with certain minor changes, including some interesting and/or funny mental images here and there. I realized though during the first run that I was in the same zone that I had regularly ventured to during journeys of the past. It's that feeling that when you're there, in that space, you chuckle to yourself and say, "Oh, yeah. I'm tripping," and the cares of the physical world seem to ridiculously silly and unneeded as they melt away into the background. I knew I was in the place into which the shaman venture, and one of the best things about it was it felt like I had never left, even though it had been many years since I was in that space. I received a lot of perspective as previous journeys came to mind and gave me a sense of closure, especially the time that I went into the lower astral planes. I felt no fear. All in all it was good and served me well because it spotlighted much of what I already knew but hadn't connected. However, I was expecting something much greater, and found no answers to the questions that I had at the time.

Which brings me back to the Susan Reed book that I mentioned earlier, and why I don't typically talk about those subjects, or those that David Icke speaks about, because I had decided after the last intense soul shock back in late '93 that it was time to change the path I was on. In previous years I had amassed so many books on conspiracy theories, prophecies and the like that I realized it was time to focus the nature of my journey on other things. Prior to that point, I found myself at times a bit obsessed with trying to bring my then-mosaic into a clearer view and place it on some kind of linear time line in history. I'm glad that I changed my path, as what came in the years that followed greatly enhanced my spiritual journey. In later years, I no longer felt as if I was turning attention toward anything relating to fear or looking for things outside of my inner self. I had since focused my journey inward and had discovered a lot that I hadn't known before. The ensuing knowledge really put me in a place where I could experience something like the Cosmic Initiation of late '09 - early '10 that I wrote about and have referred to so much on this blog.

The other night, though, I was on one of the few spirituality forum sites that I belong to before I went to bed. I don't post much in forums. I like to read about the experiences of others and gain knowledge, but most forums to me seem like endless blather and are often argumentative. It was late, and for some reason I felt as though I was looking for something, but I didn't really know what it was. I had checked a few blogs that I follow in the hour prior, but still felt as though there was something for me to see, so I signed into one of the forums to which I belong and checked one of the posts on the main page. In the replies to this one particular post where someone was asking for some guidance, I came across a link to a website called The Resistance and clicked on it.

Upon first viewing that website's man page I thought, "Ugh. Another conspiracy site," and was about to close my browser when I noticed an upload by the site's creator, who curiously enough goes by the same name as the pseudonym under which I have written this blog, Sevan, only I had changed the spelling of my name about a month ago, lest it sound like "seven" by inserting an "h" toward the end. On the Resistance website there was this video upload which caught my eye - high frequency sound waves that increase over the course of a minute or two, stop, and start again, accompanied by pulsating video wave forms. I thought it was interesting, and after viewing it I poked around a bit and found quite a number of reading materials. One of the books that is uploaded in their reading section got my attention. I opened it and immediately began reading. The book is called, "The Code To The Matrix," by James Evans Bomaer III, and was completed during the summer of 2009.

I drew me in rather quickly. The subject matter hooked me because at first because it sounded like the writer was explaining an experience similar to my initiation. I kept reading because I thought he was going to get specific as to how he achieved a super connection to Source, whom he refers to as the Most High. My initiation happened randomly and gradually, ebbing and flowing for some time, punctuated with periods of intensity that began with the arrival of a distinct electrical charge on my back that latter became a constant pulsating vibration that at times covered my entire body, radiating from a central point. His state was achieved through chanting for two hours, although he never mentioned what he was chanting, which ended up being a bummer. As I got toward the end of the book my anticipation grew, thinking surely he would go into detail about reaching the super connected state, but it wasn't there.

Just like Susan Reed's book, although this one is slightly better, the grammar, spelling and syntax made it difficult for me to stay focused initially. It appeared to be written rather hastily, which I can understand, but at the same time, I thought, "Really? Have someone do a proof-read. It makes it all the more interesting for the reader." It was also a little tough with white letters on a solid black background at 254 pages. The Flash reader, though, through which it is presented, had an easy zoom-in-out control that was very convenient. I almost stopped several pages in because like Susan's book, I felt it difficult to engage with the aforementioned inattention to proper grammar, but something told me to read on, and to think about it as though it was one of my friends from South America, Asia, the Middle East or Europe who speaks English well enough, but writing the language is another matter. With that in mind, it became more bearable and I spent several hours reading through it rather slowly, as there is a lot to comprehend and take in within the book's pages. Occasionally I would go to a search engine on another screen for cross-checks.

A little bit of sugar, a little bit of salt,

Take unto you the keys, and open up the vault.

I resisted writing that rhyme down for several minutes, but it kept repeating as I read, so I eventually wrote it down. That type of thing doesn't happen while I'm reading something, and I chuckled that it had appeared like a loop in my mind, thinking that it was mostly silly, but nonetheless there it was. "Code" focuses on much of what David Icke has been writing and talking about for a long time and it mirrors a lot of what Susan Reed wrote about in "Body Snatchers," although "Code" is written from more of an historical, educational perspective, while Susan's book is interpersonal, focusing on events in her life as they related to becoming indoctrinated into a world of alien conspiracy. Again, if you can get past the grammar and syntax, and you are one who enjoys exploring the aspects of prominent mind control within our global culture, I recommend looking at both works. Several elements of my initiation period came to light while reading "Code," along with a lot of context for my reading during the 80s and my soul shock experiences. It appeared to be another guided information sourcing session for me... something that I was meant to read and I'm glad that for that. In "Code," there is a fair amount of focus on the English language, wordplay, anagrams in particular, and the power that resides within the words we choose to use. For instance, when children are young and first introduced to language, they are taught first to "spell" and shortly thereafter to write in "cursive." Think about those words for a moment. There is also a heavy focus on symbolism.

Symbols have fascinated me since I was a teen and I have used their power in marketing campaigns. People love to rally around symbols. During my many years in marketing, I had two sayings that I lived by and preached to those who worked with me, "We communicate with symbols and images," and "Perception is ninth tenths of reality." I thought for many years that the latter phrase was my own creation, however, I read at one point that the late Joseph Kennedy, father of John, Ted and Robert said the same thing back in the 40s or 50s. The author introduces a lot of interesting points in "Code," however, I did find several factual errors within the text, along with a couple of mis-labeled photos. Although I did find errors, the sheer volume of the information presented put the errors in the distinct minority. Once I was past all of that, I found that Bomaer had presented some serious food for thought that really got me pondering along the lines of mind control for the first time in a long time, particularly from the viewpoint that it is quite possibly so layered now, so intricate and such a part of the overall social structure that it's nearly undetectable.

It's typically a turn-off for me when people get so carried away with symbols that it becomes obsessive. There are several websites out there that focus on Illuminati symbols, etc. so much so that it's all they do. I don't see the point, really. I can get ridiculous after a while. "Yes, yes. Got it. Next." It's one thing to point out potential ties to dark concepts, however, it's an entirely different thing to offer theory and advice on how to break such controls, if they do indeed exist, in terms of taking solid action within the physical plane. In all of my time within the music industry, although I had been to many, many a wild party and worked closely for years with many executives who sat the top of the power structure of the business, I never saw or heard of any type of ritualistic initiations or anything closely resembling some of what I had read in books and on websites. Even when it came to the productions of music videos, I've never seen or heard about the insertion of Masonic or other symbols. If I had, I would have most certainly written a book on it, as coupled with my background reading for many years, it would have been a real Aha moment. I'm not saying that such things don't exist, they certainly do, but they are not exclusive to any one industry or as pervasive as many fear mongers would lead people to believe. It's possible that symbols and coding wind up in certain mediums because those on the lower levels putting these things together don't realize that there are larger spiritual forces at work, inspiring certain concepts and designs, etc. I believe that is the case more often then not... "they know not what they do."

Anagrams may seem like child's play to the average person, but there are real questions about the power of the words we use and their ability to alter reality. Anagrams are used in computer programming, for example, as recursion examples in algorithms. Recursion means "the process of defining a function or calculating a number by the repeated application of an algorithm." When one looks more closely at life, one sees that creation itself, including the way our circulatory systems are laid out, neuro-pathways in our brains, plants, the structures of leaves and all of our computer databases are examples of recursive branching structures. At the root of all of the development of these creation processes we come of course to fractals. So even to the uninitiated, it's important to consider that words have more meaning than meets the eye, and anagrams may indeed affect the way we are subtly programmed to perceive the reality around us in the physical world. Scientists are now saying that genes are more shaped by one's environment than the long-running conclusion that they contained locked-in, predestined fates for people. If we are affected by our environment more than had been previously assumed, and the technological media is surrounding us to an increasing degree as we move through time, I have to wonder about mind control and its effects.

According to the latest models in quantum physics, the observer affects what it being observed. When we are not focusing our attention specifically on something (matter), it doesn't actually exist in what we call solid form as we know it. To the contrary, the matter exists in multiple places within a field possibility until one focuses attention on it, at which time it becomes fixed in a position from the point of view of the observer, and this is our consensus reality that we all share. Certainly then there exists the possibility of manipulation. And further certain is the notion that those who possess knowledge to manipulate the consensus reality are in fact doing so. Throw in competing, even purposefully juxtaposed waring belief systems coupled with emotions and you've got quite the stage upon which to direct the play. To get more insight into how words can potentially affect this consensus reality further, one should explore the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming, which is an approach to psychotherapy that has been growing considerably since the early 90s. I was first introduced to NLP around that time, and although I've read a couple of books on the subject, I have never exercised the a discipline to work steadily with NLP in my personal life. Perhaps its time to consider doing so.

If you stop and really consider for a moment the verse in The Book of John (1:1) that says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God," you might think for a moment that those books, written hundreds of years after the time of Jesus of Nazareth and edited countless times, have been manipulated to serve a god of a lower order. Should it not read, "In the beginning was Pure Energy..." or perhaps "...was the Most High" (?) I understand there are many ways to interpret that verse, some even saying that it has to do with the creation of the universe and the unspeakable name of the Creator, however, it is interesting when you consider that the written word as language was not around in the beginning, nor for a long time hence, in the history of the human race.

Below are some interesting anagrams that were not included in "Code," that I use here to illustrate a point, as they are representative of another potential rabbit hole:

The Monsanto Corporation: No Monitor On Catastrophe

You get the idea. One could explore them virtually endlessly, but as I pointed out, in order to do so, one must learn to "spell" first. The further one goes with anagrams, the more one has to wonder about patterns that emerge, calling into question many things about the English language itself and the fact that the Crown of England / House of Windsor has been and continues to be extremely, possibly primarily influential in world economic and political affairs, despite the Royals being marketed and presented as mere figureheads today. That's just fodder for the general population, just as the Republican and Democratic political parties are for the US. The powers behind these entities that control the wealth and the influence they exert over global affairs are undeniable. Remember that language, like money, was introduced and has developed as we have evolved within the duality consciousness. Language is not a core part of our being, when to compared to thought, for example. Communication is inherit in our nature, yes, but not the language of letters and the written word. In our societal construct today, most take it for granted because it's been introduced to us as part of our social paradigm as a necessity.

I've been fascinated by linguistics since I was young, and loved to explore Latin and Greek root words that appeared within the English language since I was a child. After reading "Code" and pondering the potential of the dark arts and wizardry as it has evolved since ancient times, it stands to reason that those "in the know" would attempt to further extend their influence as much as possible over time. We are in fact human, and greed, as we see every day, is one of our most relentless enemies, primarily because we have also introduced into our social paradigm the concept of ownership, which hasn't always existed either. In a handful of indigenous tribes around the world, it still doesn't exist. What has since been juxtaposed to the concept of ownership is the commoditization of nearly everything, including events, which are now traded in their own arenas, called "Prediction Markets" and are largely unregulated, if at all, and played a role in the financial debacle of 2008. The line between needs and wants was blurred a long time ago, and now both, merged as one flame, are fueled by the endless marketing engines of desire to serve the profit of a few at the top of any of the many pyramids. If you spend even a little time in nature, and focus on your breath while in the present moment, you can begin to see that this structure we currently call modern life in the civilized world is likely not what the Creator had intended.

Some of what I explored on The Resistance website was relatively interesting. The amount of books in their reading section is rather extensive and I may check out some of them in the future. The subject matter certainly gets one's wheels spinning. What I liked about "Code" though, despite its many flaws, what that the singular theme was a connection to the Most High above all else, and that the degree of mind control is so deep that distractions are nearly everywhere, from the major belief systems to entertainment right down to New Age thinking and even the Melchizedek Order, to which Drunvalo Melchizedek belongs. The "Code" points fingers at virtually everything. It's good to question - everything, and always think for yourself. I took a lot of this information a grain of salt as well, but there were certain insights from "Code" that proved very valuable to me. One could quickly go down a rabbit hole believing that every individual sincerely trying to help or save our race and our future was part of some kind of conspiracy, whether the well-intending soul knew it or not. Only Creator can effectively see into anyone's heart.

If one were to completely go all the way down this particular rabbit hole, one could easily fall prey to all kinds of paranoia, thus, lowering one's vibration. I believe, in the Hermetic sense, that all opposites are ultimately varying degrees of the same thing, therefore, there can be good in bad and bad in good. Heart-focused discernment is needed. Too much judgment and over-thinking can lead to even further mental compartmentalization where the "Boo!" factor arises at nearly every turn. The ultimate lesson here is to go within, and seek a connection only to the wisdom that created you, as difficult as that may appear to do sometimes. It's our only hope, as in the end, we each leave this world alone. It makes sense to set a course for that infinite source of wisdom, the Creator, through the tiny gateway of the heart, in which our wildest hopes and dreams of existence reside. In a way, after reading "Body Snatchers" and "Code," I suppose I've come full circle in some ways. Not that I intend to spend a lot of time diving into conspiracy theories by any means, but with over a year passing since my Cosmic Initiation experience, I definitely have a fresh perspective on some things, including seriously pondering mind control once again, at least a little bit.

This post has ended up being the longest post on this blog thus far. I initially wanted to focus on the two books I had recently read, but as I wrote it became clearer that there was to be much more information included here. I have resisted putting too much of myself into these posts in the past, but I was as driven to write this post as I have been guided to find information during my sourcing or event string sessions. I may have also blundered in the editing in some places along the way in terms of syntax, etc. If you found anything like that in terms of sloppiness, please accept my apologies. Writing all of this and recalling so many intense events has left me rather exhausted.

Below is the vibrational frequency video that I mentioned earlier, which is currently in beta form. The Resistance website contains instructions as to its recommended usage. I don't know if it's useful or not. I'm just rather curious about it, just as I am about full circles, rabbit holes and mind control.

Welcome To The Ninth Wave (?) Perplexed But Hopeful

2011-02-11T15:14:00.000-08:00

Restless. Impatient. Curious. Anticipatory. Skeptical. Those words describe my state of being of late. There has been much discussion over the past decade or so about the grand cycles of the Mayan Calendar and what those cycles mean for us in terms of consciousness and the evolution of humanity. Within this arena, there have been two prominent voices during this time: the late Ian Xel Lungold, and Carl Johan Calleman. Ian passed away back in 2005. His website, MayanMajix, is still active, and I had posted a lecture that he did a few years prior to his death called "The Mayan Calendar Comes North". Both of these men had indicated that the final, ninth "Cycle of the Underworld" was to be 260 days in duration (13:20) and have stated that the Ninth Wave would begin on February 11, 2011. Calleman has since adjusted his commencement date for the Ninth Wave to March 9, 2011, whereby the thirteen segments of the cycle, seven days and six nights, are 18 days in duration.

Each (grand) cycle represents an evolution of consciousness, and each cycle is based on a sacred ratio of 13:20, reflected in the Mayan Tzolkin (or Ritual or Dreamspell calendar), as they had two calendars, the Cholq'ij being the other (the 13:20 link explains this). The ratio in terms of the calendar has been described as meaning 13 moons to each cycle, and with each cycle comes an increase in the passage of time by a factor of 20 compared to the previous cycle. Each day within its particular cycle represents a period of time within that cycle, and can cover many Gregorian years. Ian explains this quite well in the aforementioned video. Drunvalo Melchizedek also explains these cycles of time and ancient meridians in recent videos that I have posted on this blog. If you have watched Ian Lungold's "Mayan Calendar Comes North" video, you will have seen how he takes major events in recorded history and lays them out in a linear sense in terms of systems, innovations and changes in the way that people lived upon the earth; social structures, governance, et al. Provocative, I would say. He did, however, make certain assumptions about what was in store in the immediate future from the time of that video (recorded in 2003) - things that he expected us to see toward the end of the Galactic Cycle - that did not come about according to his time line.

Seven days, six nights... let me focus on that for just a moment. With each grand cycle change comes an evolution in consciousness, and the systems of the previous cycle crumble, giving way to the new consciousness, or spirit of the age. Before today, we were in the last part of the Galactic cycle, which started in January of 1999. For the past eleven months or so, we were in the seventh day of the Galactic Cycle. The smaller cycles (days, nights) within the Galactic cycle were roughly 340 days in duration. What did we observe during the seventh day, or approximately last eleven Gregorian months of the Galactic Cycle? The emergence of Wikileaks as a threat to the established order, for one, whether you believe that Wikileaks is genuine or a psy-op of the CIA and/or Mossad, about which there has been much debate. With Wikileaks growing presence also came the further rise of Anonymous, a loose network of hackers who gained prominence by threatening and temporarily shutting down institutions such as PayPal, MasterCard and Visa, all of whom greatly contribute to the current global financial control matrix.

Along with those elements, we also saw, in the United States, the further and arguably fastest rise of the domestic military / prison industrial complex that we have ever seen in the history of this country. These changes are much more pervasive / invasive than those in the wake of September 11th, including the TSA airport scanners (said to be in the stages of rolling out to sports stadiums, shopping malls and other public places), Homeland Security appearing on television screens in WalMart stores (the largest full service retailer in the US), ICX Skywatch police guard towers being further deployed in many suburban areas (now in New Jersey, North Carolina, Arizona, among other states), the DHS campaign called, "If You See Something, Say Something," Social Security numbers of recipients being needed for personal shipments of international packages (see Customs Clearance, Item 5 on this page), a coming Internet Identification System, the further proliferation of unmanned airborne security drones (now being used in Texas, Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, Florida and other states), and most recently, the most prolific changes in the country's Emergency Broadcast System, now known as the Emergency Alert System, where apparently now the President will have the ability to interrupt media programming on a scale heretofore not known. I have carefully selected the links above so as to avoid the hyperbolic nature of the many posts on the web that surround same.

If you do your own web or YouTube searches, and I encourage anyone reading this blog to always do that with any of the information that I present here, you will find many posts that paint these advances by the military / prison industrial complex as Orwellian in nature, often hyperbolic and paranoid, complete with sensational soundtracks that portend doom and gloom. I don't disagree with the Orwellian nature of all of these recent advancements, however, I try to present information on this blog in a neutral sense and let others draw their own conclusions. It seems strange to many of us within the US that nearly ten years after the NY and Washington attacks, that suddenly within the past year or so we have seen a massive, brisk implementation of the aforementioned without any domestic activity or events that would appear to necessitate same. I should note that virtually all of said advancements were in place or planned well before the recent tragedy in Tuscon, AZ. Unfortunately for those of us residing in the US, a large swath of our population doesn't seem to care in the least, and go about their days sedated by Big Pharma, lost in the haze of bread and circus politics, television and consumerism-related materialistic pursuits.

Internationally, we also beheld the uprisings in various places against governmental systems, Tunisia and Egypt most recently. What I find particularly interesting about what is happening in Egypt at present is that Mobarak continued to defy the people through the very end of the seventh Galatic day, and has now stepped down on the morning of the first day of the Universal Cycle. Additionally interesting to me is that ancient Egyptian Geodesy or Geodetic Science placed the Prime Meridian (an ultimately arbitrary longitude, yet related to how [our concept of] time is defined according to the earth's rotation) going through the Giza Plateau in Egypt. The British eventually moved the prime meridian to the UK in 1851, where it has been known as the Greenwich Meridian ever since. The British were the predominant sea power at the time, through which they dominated much of the known world. My point here about Egypt is that according to ancient wisdom, Egypt exists in what was known as the center of the globe for thousands of years, thus, the location of the Giza pyramids. If there is any merit in any of that information in terms of relevance to the Mayan cycles and potential changes in the governance of humanity, are these recent events indicative of a sweep of global revolution? The internet has been much abuzz about this since the revolution in Egypt began, and there are many sites that are claiming that this is a wave that is going to sweep the globe. I remain skeptical. Time will tell, and it should tell us very quickly, as the days and nights of the Universal Cycle are only 20 days in length, or 18 days according to Calleman's recent adjustment. If such a wave does take place, I would find it curious that it started in the countries of North Africa.

I should also note here that these two men, Lungold and Calleman, began working together at one point, as referenced in Ian's biography on the MayanMajix website. For me personally, I also find it quite intriguing that Ian's great-great grandfather, known as Johnny Appleseed, planted seeds in the wilderness along with distributing tracts containing the work of Emanuel Swedenborg. The latter part is what I found intriguing, as during one of my guided information sourcing sessions a few years back, I was directed to purchase Wilson Van Dusen's book analyzing some of the work of Swedenborg, "The Presence of Other Worlds". Swedenborg was a mathematician, scientist, philosopher and a pioneer of sorts in the field of spiritual studies. That book opened many doors for me and connected many dots in my mosaic, or reality tunnel, at the time. Even as I write this, having not planned a specific outline for this post, I realize that this all seems rather like a stretch, as I am not a scholar in these areas by any means. However, I have been drawn to information concerning these subjects for over ten years, seemingly at random, only to find convergence as various sources all seem to point to the same information. I have many websites bookmarked and many books strewn about my apartment, and as I write this I feel as though I am not quite able to make some of the connections that I would have desired if I had indeed been formulating this post over a longer period of time with specific footnotes pertinent to the subject at hand. On that note, my writing on this subject falls short of my standards for solid analysis to the degree that I might have been able to present my case. Yet, this is a blog, and not a research paper.

I remain skeptical about all of this. As I have stated in previous posts, whenever a person or group of persons point to specific dates in terms of potential future occurrences, my interest wanes almost immediately. Linear time and our experience of same, as I understand it through what I have read about in the area of quantum physics, exists within a limitless field of possibilities at every point, therefore, there may be probabilities and even likelihoods, but there is no way to determine one finite future result or outcome of any series of events. What I do find rather intriguing is that whatever way one chooses to view all of the chatter and hypotheses regarding a potential evolution in consciousness, one fact remains: we are here now. We are on the great cusp. There is no turning back. There is no other significant ancient calendar event in the years following 2012, whether it's the Maya, the Hopi, the Aztecs or even the I Ching. This is it, this year and so many months to follow into 2012. For me, if we move through the next few months and no sense of global change is perceivable, even palpable, then I am going to remove myself from trying to make any further connections along these lines. It has been my experience over the past several decades that virtually every type of life-changing event that has been forecast by alleged seers, pseudo-scientists and prophets, has resulted in nothing. Nothing has happened, and dates have been conveniently pushed somewhere into the nebulous future. This has happened time and time again and I have grown bored to a high degree.

In terms of our current position in linear time within the Mayan Dreamspell calendar, the time is now if this ancient wisdom has any merit. The coming months will either contain the fastest perception of time and change that we have ever known, or they will not. If, after a few calendar months I don't see time speeding up by a factor of 20 when it reaches the end of this cycle, thus ushering in what appears to be the dawning of a new era in terms of global change, I am going to put all of this aside. It won't change my spiritual practice and it cannot change what I have experienced thus far in my spiritual journey, but it will force me to completely lose interest in the many channeled messages from other-dimensional beings, etc., that have reached fever pitch over the last year judging from the massive increase in postings on the web.

From my current perspective in my personal life, I remain restless, somewhat frustrated, skeptical and yet curious and anticipatory if indeed we are on the brink of something new and fascinating with regard to our development and perception of life within the greater universe / multiverse. It may seem as though I am shaking my fist at the channelers and the alleged beings whom they represent. I am not. Figuratively, I may be doing so in terms of memes that may be associated with the messages, particularly on the conspiracy websites, but that is only because I am seeking to "break through the clutter," as they say in the advertising business, so that I can discern any single valid message. The reason that I desire such is so that I may find context for my own spiritual experiences. There may be no context. I also realize that, but something within me, deep down, makes me feel as though I may find context, and greater, and that it might come about sometime soon.

With all of my increasingly intense spiritual experiences of the last several years, I stand hopeful. My heart speaks to me softly, saying that there is a reason for my experiences and the timing thereof, however, just what that reason might be still remains unknown. My left brain perpetually tries to find context, meaning and understanding, which is one of the reasons that I have devoted an increasing amount of hours to this blog. I wonder daily about what I have come to call my Cosmic Initiation, and why it came about at the time that it did. At its center was the unveiling of heart-centered consciousness, the most beautiful way that I had ever experienced life. These were days with no planning, just being, participating in a moment by moment unveiling of intense beauty and experience as my awareness expanded in ways that were simply astounding to me.

I felt a strong sense that I had been shown a way to be, one that was new to me, despite having practiced Now consciousness regularly for the two years prior to the initiation. "There must be others," I thought constantly during that time. I knew that I wasn't alone in that experience, or special or chosen in any way. It was just a time that the universe allowed me into that realm. I did want to find others, though. I had a strong desire to only be around people who were experiencing life in that way, and as the universe saw fit, I found myself surrounded by many spiritually-minded friends at that time who had experienced awakenings, though none were occurring at the same time as my initiation. They helped to keep me grounded and gave me perspective on what it was that I was experiencing.

Since then, I have tried to live my life accordingly, focusing my meditations and actions within and from my heart, however, I have yet to return to the magnificently magnified heart-state and the profound changes in my perceptions that occurred during that time. I was shown many things, and there were two sides to the coin of that experience. On the one hand were realized gifts greater than those known previously by my five senses... telepathy, healing, levitation, remote viewing and a profound connection to Source energy among them. On the other hand was seeing a division in society as physical changes to the earth took place, driving many people mad. I have reached out to other-dimensional beings ever since, with an increase in frequency and desire to return to that blissful state as I attempt to chart a course for the remainder of this physical life. I have not seen the "2012" film, nor do I wish to, as I don't believe that has any relevance in terms of a connection to Source or the evolution of consciousness.

In trying to make sense of my own spiritual journey and where I find myself on that road at present, I understand that I must remain rooted in the practice of the art of non-attachment, remaining in the Now, thereby releasing myself from all concepts of expectation and outcome. The spiritually optimistic side of me simply says, Let It Be. Whatever that may mean for me or the world at large I do not know. I stand and watch, ever the observer. Let It Be. I am also reminded of the word, Maranatha, of Greek / Aramaic origin, which I learned as a child, meaning, "Lord, come," referring to the coming of Christos Consciousness to the earth as a whole. If there is to be evolution to the Divine or Christos Consciousness that we are to experience during this lifetime and we are to participate in its expansion throughout the globe, I say then, "Let It Be. Maranatha." Even so, come quickly.

Namaste.

Unity Consciousness, Meditation And Diamond Alignment

2011-02-05T10:56:00.000-08:00

There are many websites that have arisen over the past few years that offer group meditations focusing on unity consciousness, and their numbers appear to be growing. The WingMakers have an excellent site called Event Temples, where you can simply register for free with an email address and join others around the globe at various designated times daily to focus intention on heart-centered consciousness, thereby enhancing the energy field of the consciousness grid that surrounds the earth through your heart and your own life energy. Drunvalo Melchizedek has written about the new grid in his book, "Serpent of Light: Beyond 2012", and has discussed the subject in various videos available on YouTube, some of which are posted on this blog. Another excellent free website that I have recently come across is Diamond Alignment, which is operated by Jacqueline Joy. The site offers personal, six-minute energy-infused meditation sessions to help align oneself with divine Source energy and the unity, love or diamond consciousness. I really enjoyed the Diamond Alignment meditation and intend to be visiting there regularly along with Event Temples. It's open and free 24/7/365. To access the six-minute meditation page, just click "enter" on the main page and "enter" again on the next page that pops up. And finally there is Fractal Energy Mandala, which is different than the first two sites and doesn't have a meditation area per se, but features the inspiring artwork of K. Allen Kay, which consists of beautiful, captivating mandalas that he has created intuitively. You can order your own personalized mandala video through his site.

Why is something like this important? There are likely several reasons. First, the fact that the earth's kundalini force, or spirit / soul energy has moved within the past several years from the mountains of Tibet to a place in the mountains of Peru, indicating the that the dawn of a new cycle in the evolution of human, planetary and universal consciousness is near. This event happens approximately every 13,000 years, according to the wisdom of various indigenous peoples and tribes around the world. As Drunvalo has explained it (discussed in a recent video that I posted on this blog), the earth's kundalini (spirit energy) has since been activated in its new Peruvian home through a series of ceremonies in which he participated, the purpose of which was to initiate the kundalini from its new home within the earth to expand outward and ultimately form the new consciousness grid that surrounds our planet. This is the grid that will essentially govern the coming new era in history, and which will bring about the evolutionary change of Mother Earth herself, along with all things upon, within and around her.

Second, this new era is said to be one of conscious co-creation. If a planet-wide or universal shift in consciousness is going to occur and it is potentially part of our evolution as humans, then it seems to be a very important matter. Becoming one with the new consciousness grid means being centered in one's heart; living from the heart. In doing so, we become aligned with higher vibrational realities, higher dimensions, where we become one with Source energy in conscious co-creation from a place of unconditional love. If love is the ultimate truth of the universe and the force which governs all of creation, is connecting with this Source energy simply a realization of truth? It would stand to reason then, that the amount of people who become connected to this new level of consciousness through a realization of ultimate truth will likely be key to the pervasiveness of the grid itself, thereby enhancing or expanding the ability for more people to become aware that these higher vibrational realities exist. Through such enhancement or magnification, our necessity as a race to shift our awareness into alignment with such a grid should become apparent to an increasing number of people, ensuring not only our survival, but our own evolution as a species. So where is the tipping point?

I personally don't anticipate that it will take the whole population of 7 billion people to bring about this shift of consciousness. I have a distinct impression that such a shift in awareness can grow from a few into many and at a certain point, become somewhat contagious, for lack of a better word. "Catch a fire," as the late great Bob Marley would say. Consider first that the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms are already one with Mother Earth and Source energy. That leaves us humans, the most advanced life forms on the planet, to attune ourselves to this new consciousness and thus facilitate the evolution of our consciousness as the earth herself evolves. As Drunvalo has stated, this would happen whether we were here or not, as it is part of the earth's and the universe's evolution - knowledge that has been known and kept by many indigenous tribes around the world for thousands of years. The importance of "making the shift" into higher vibrations of consciousness has to do with not having to return and incarnate and repeat another 13,000 year cycle of birth and death at this particular strata of consciousness, which has been dominated by male energy alone. Thankfully, if he's correct, that 13,000 years is only a tiny portion of the total of cycles of the Mayan Calendar, but still, who would want to go backward? Perhaps some. Definitely not me. My recent four year run of living and creating in virtual reality simulators alone has awakened a part of me that's ready to return to my abilities of flight, teleportation between dimensions and existence in complete peace.

When we look at the current condition of the human race and the ongoing destruction of the planet, I believe it's important to consider that it likely won't take all of us being in tune with the new unity consciousness to enable others of our species to make the shift into that awareness, and here's why: Consider the Hundredth Monkey Effect, around which there has been much controversy. I disagree with the assertions on Wikipedia regarding the Effect being simply applicable to mythological New Agers, of which I am not a part. The fact that many in New Age circles have incorporated said Effect into their teachings only serves to make it an easy target of enhanced negativity, as there are many memes within and about that community that are purely conjecture and hyperbole, whatever the "movement's" nebulous borders might be. To my knowledge, since the writings about the discovery of the Hundredth Monkey phenomenon in 1952, no conclusive scientific studies have been done to substantiate the effect as factual, or at least have been made public knowledge. That's okay. There are other places in which to look for signs that something similar could take place within the world's population.

I also should note here that I often stand with The Skeptics Society on many issues such as this, and I look for scientific explanations for unproven phenomena, however, I have seen hours of behavioral studies on both humans and animals that indicate that this type of effect is entirely plausible: that after a certain key number within a group adapts an awareness or behavior, that (variable) number being critical in ratio to the sum of a larger group (in highly evolved life forms such as apes and/or humans), many others will follow or adopt the new knowledge or awareness and the resultant growing awareness will eventually permeate the behavior of a majority of the group as a whole. I think that this is possible because of what I have studied and observed myself within the fields of advertising and the arts. I have also seen and experienced many things during this incarnation that I do not understand, some of which I have written about on this blog. These things have no scientific explanation, no control-based studies, and I am left only trying to find context for the experiences, futile as that often appears to be. However, if we are indeed currently being guided by energy forms or entities that reside within higher realms of consciousness, hence, new frequencies of awareness are actually being directed into our three dimensional world at this time, then the entire idea becomes even more plausible and perhaps even likely from my current perspective.

There are also some interesting observations that I have made considering The Solomon Asch Conformity Experiment, as one example, which deals with perception, human behavior, conditional judgment and peer pressure. I should discern here that I don't believe any alignment with unity consciousness will come about - or could come about - through coercion. Unity consciousness, or love, by its very nature is unconditional, and could not be attained by such means, since we must make a choice to connect in that way, with love and through surrender, from our hearts. Consequently, I do believe that if enough people become a part of a new awareness or higher consciousness vibration, that it will lead to an "Aha Moment" and a tipping point for others. If the ancients are correct, as has been written about and handed down for thousands of years through many of the indigenous tribes around the world, higher levels of consciousness and the attainment thereof should be encoded somewhere within our DNA, at the very least as a dormant yet present sense of an awareness of something greater than ourselves.

Sometimes I wonder, if that is indeed true, that such types of ancient knowledge actually resides somewhere within elements of our long-dormant, docile or inactive DNA. Since most of our civilized world is cut off from the ancient wisdom, the hidden knowledge and the practices associated with connecting to higher realms, is that why we have created what we know today as organized religion (?) To me, the concept of organized religion is multi-headed creature of endless divisions which almost always points people outside of themselves for salvation, and instead to so-called holy people, organizations and higher orders of alleged gatekeepers to the Creator or Source. It's been my experience that nearly all of these institutions use fear-based methods to grow and maintain their followers - through the constant siphoning of money from their flocks. To quote the late great George Carlin on the "man in the sky" version of God, "He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing and all wise - but somehow - just can't handle money." Carlin was a brilliant man and one of the greatest thinkers of the past century. Religions point us outside of ourselves. Unity consciousness points us within. The difference between the two (looking outside or looking within) has to do with taking the responsibility for ourselves, of sorting out our inner homes, our hearts, remembering that we are sparks of a divine energy that gives us our every breath and that the same energy wants us to become one with it again in a personal way that is unique to each one of us.

There's a big difference between going within for transformation and looking to lay it all on some "guy in the sky" and letting "him" figure it out, as many within the organized christian churches see it. I do believe, as Jesus of Nazareth said in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me." However, I believe that the churches of the world have twisted the accurate translation, like many other parts of scripture. What I believe Jesus was saying was, that there is no way to connect to the "Father" universal Creator Consciousness unless you have the Christ Consciousness of unconditional love, or unity with all things. That unity starts within one's own individual heart space. There is no other place from which we can attain that unity with Source energy. Some within the circles of organized religion would term that kind of thinking blasphemous. In my younger years, within the confines of my inherited belief system, I would probably have agreed. But consider the source when looking at the organized, for-profit religious "businesses" that would make such accusations. As I have stated in previous posts, anything or anyone that points you outside of yourself for salvation, at least in my opinion, is suspect, because in doing so you abdicate responsibility for the affairs of your own heart, which is ultimately the place from which all of our creations flow and is our place of connection to the wisdom that created us.

Having spent many years as a professional in marketing, primarily music, art and pop-culture arenas, I also find intriguing what has been described as the Hundredth Monkey Effect through a perspective provided by author Malcolm Gladwell, what he termed "social epidemics" in his brilliant book, "The Tipping Point" as well as what Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts wrote about in his book, "Lovemarks". If you've read those books, and have perhaps watched the Derek Sivers video that is in previous post below entitled, "How To Start A Movement", you can begin to see how Madison Avenue exploits certain elements of human nature to fuel the development of brand loyalty and further devotion to consumerism through the growth of movements. All movements start with a single thought, and just like our thinking patterns, expand into thought strings and then systems of thought, which most often lead to physical action in the world around us. That was my job, in various forms for over twenty years. To identify, help create and enhance movements within the underground or counter-culture and bring them into the mainstream where they became known as trends. Through those lenses and those of my experiences in brand-building, brand loyalty, and consumer behavior, I believe that there is something to be learned here in terms of how awareness-based movements within small groups can lead to adaptation by larger groups. These movements are real phenomena, which initially activate something within some individual members of a group and grow with their own type of conscious awareness. Such things are likely primal at their roots, and they're also likely have something to do with the expansion of conscious awareness and the fact that everything and everyone is ultimately connected.

In addition to years of acting training, I spent a couple of years studying at The Groundlings School of Improvisation in Los Angeles, where through many different types of exercises, I was shown how people can unite and connect around ideas, thoughts and concepts that are held within a portion of a group's consciousness without the entire group being told in advance what those ideas or concepts are. Those types of exercises can appear to be magic to those who are new to observing the experience. They give fascinating context for getting information "from the ether," as it were, through the very slightest of expression and observation only, and without any formal direction or explanation. What one sees in those exercises is the power of Now within a collective or group of individuals. In a larger context regarding acting and that craft, being in the Now can also produce what is known as "happy accidents," which can be profoundly mind-blowing when they occur. Many great scenes in classic films became a part of the finished work through just those types of experiences... unscripted moments that just happened. The late director Robert Altman was known to keep his camera rolling longer than many of his colleagues in order to catch such moments. He was acutely aware of the potential of consciousness in the present moment and the wonders that it can produce.

At the same time, I'm also very anti-herd (or mob) mentality. There are many examples throughout history where these same types of conscious actions through groups can have disastrous effects. I've always been one who marches to the beat of a different drummer, and I avoid the herd / mob mentality almost every time that I see it appear, for better or for worse. I've found it is in fact better to abstain from becoming a part of either a herd or a mob, whether it's at a party, a sporting event or people rushing to buy the latest gadget or brand. Just like reactions to anger take time and should be thought-through, I use the same tactics for my approach to virtually any type of mentality like that of the herd. The thing that makes unity consciousness different for me, though, is that it's love itself. If there was ever a time to become more aware of being in the Now, in the present, and aligning oneself to a higher vibration of love, I believe that time is now. In my relatively short time in this physical incarnation, I have seen the world change to the point where it isn't the same place in which I existed in my younger years, and it appears to be going in a direction that is unsustainable for both the earth itself and humanity. I'm willing to be a part of this shift, this expansion of consciousness if and when what they call The Ninth Wave of Consciousness becomes evident within our field of perception. For me, it can't arrive fast enough. What else is there to look forward to in a larger sense? More inflation, job scarcity, food shortages, disease, pollution, etc. No thanks. Something inside of me resonates with the vibration of "there has to be a better way" as I search for meaning in this world.

Below is an amusing video that I recently came across on YouTube. One of the reasons that I found it amusing is that during my cosmic initiation period in late 2009 - early 2010, one of the things that Source energy clearly expressed to me while I was pondering how and why I could perceive that there was a veil over the earth, was this: Our sun, viewed in the higher realms, looks more like a disco ball or crystal diamond sphere than the hot molten mass that we currently understand it to be. As profound as that bit of information was, it has remained among several items that I have still not mentioned in my recent Recap or Bits & Pieces posts. I had chosen not to include that bit of information about our sun, as I hadn't yet found any real context for it. It would have just been a line like, "Oh, and by the way," so I left it out. Upon seeing this video, I was immediately reminded of what I had been told during the initiation period, because now it has a bit more context for me. It made me think about what I've described as "The Ripple" in a previous post, although this ripple took some time to reach me.

Is alignment with unity, love or diamond consciousness important? I would say yes, since grounding oneself within one's heart, which is our sacred space, can only benefit the planet and all living things. Is the number of people who are actively in tune with those higher vibrations, thus, have activated their merabah - the human light body - equally important? I would say yes to that as well. Where any potential tipping point could be is anyone's guess. I've fiddled around with various equations using the circumference of the average merkabah and the total square feet of the earth's surface (for which the amount of total square feet numbers about 5.5 quadrillion), but I haven't come to any conclusions. There are likely elements and variables to such an equation that I'm not aware of, the answers to which may only lie somewhere within the realms of higher consciousness. Some say it will take 1/3 of the earth's population to reach a tipping point, which, with earth's current population at 7 billion, would be about 2.33 billion of us. That's a profoundly large number of people, 1 billion more than the total population of China. Whatever the number, it has to start somewhere, and if there is any element of expansive unity consciousness that is infectious by any means, then I am willing to invest time and my heart energy into helping to bring about its further manifestation.

All of this is exciting when we look at where we are right now in history, at the cusp of the Universal Cycle of the Mayan Calendar, or the Ninth Wave of Consciousness as it has been called. This cycle is supposed to bring with it an expansiveness and an ease that enables more people to become aware of higher vibrations of consciousness. Some say this Ninth Wave begins on February 11th of this year. Others say it will begin on March 9th, and with it will come the fastest pace of changes we as humans have ever experienced. Each of the Mayan Calendar cycles is shorter than its predecessor. The first, or Cellular Cycle, was 16.4 billion years long. The latest and current Galactic Cycle was 11 years in duration. In contrast, the Universal Cycle will be between 234 and 260 days long. That means that each month will seem like a year in terms of our perceptions as we observe changes taking place around us, both good and bad, to apply earthly judgment to them. This should be evident to nearly everyone on earth. Time will soon tell all. My hope is that we are truly on the cusp of the realization of a new era in consciousness. Until then, we have tools from various teachers and websites that can help us connect to the consciousness grid through audio and video enhancements, like this video below of sacred geometries, set to ambient sounds from the late astral traveler and pioneer Robert Monroe's patented Hemi-Sync brainwave entrainment catalog. This one is in HD and works well in full screen mode but may take a few moments to load. Headphones are always best.

Namaste.

James Jereb Of Stardreaming Interviewd By Lilou Mace

2011-02-03T11:53:00.000-08:00

Since discovering Lilou Mace's work through her recent video interview with Drunvalo Melchizedek several days ago, I have been overwhelmed by the quality of her Juicy Living Tour website and the content contained therein. Wow. The website is great. The depth and breadth of the work that Lilou has done is profound, and her energy is contagious. The website is an excellent resource for those of us who wish to learn more and grow as we approach the tipping point in the next step of the evolution of human consciousness. I've spent several hours on her website watching interviews. One of the first videos that I came across was her recent interview with James Jereb of Stardreaming in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I've since added the Stardreaming Ranch to list of places I'd love to visit, along with the Eceti Ranch in Washington, once I have the means to do so. James' story, his art and his temple creations are deep, inspirational and enlightening. I really enjoyed this interview, and Lilou's questions were right on target, exploring the many facets of James Jereb's journey that have led him into the present day. This is a fascinating and exciting interview.

James began professionally as an art historian and has since blossomed into an artist of beautiful, spiritually inspired works, including writing, painting and sculpture. His communication with angelic beings is covered here within the context of his spiritual growth as his journey has evolved. He is a seasoned world traveler and author, having written several books, including "Arts and Crafts of Morocco". If you're looking for information on how to develop communication with the angelic realm, this interview is a great place through which to obtain some insights. I love his honesty. He appears to be both joyous and down to earth at the same time. He openly discusses how, despite his growing discourse with angelic beings, he has remained distinctly human, questioning along the way and expressing doubts about the nature of his communication with other dimensional entities. I should also point out that Lilou herself is also an author, having written a well-reviewed book entitled, "I Lost My Job and I Liked It: 30-Day Law of Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker", which I am going to add to my queue of must-read books. My thanks go out to both of them for making this material available on the web.

Namaste.

How To Start A Movement: Inspiration From Derek Sivers

2011-02-03T09:07:00.000-08:00

I love the TED website. TED features inspiring talks and presentations from some of the most innovative and forward-thinking people from around the globe. It's an excellent place to visit when you're looking for stimulating ideas and provocative information. Entrepreneur and CD Baby founder Derek Sivers' talk, "How To Start A Movement," from last year's conference is a brilliant exploration of how movements begin and grow. Filmed in February of 2010 and posted to the TED website last April, Sivers examines how followers, especially the first follower, is just as influential and important to any movement as the leader or originator. It is a simple, short and fascinating look at the concept of leadership and also a provocative examination of human behavior, presented in in less than four minutes.

Esquire Magazine once said of Sivers: "Derek Sivers is changing the way music is bought and sold. A musician's savior. One of the last music-business folk heroes." Derek's CD Baby website was well known within the music community before the rise of iTunes, enabling independent musicians to sell their tangible pre-recorded music content directly to their customers without the need for a record label or brick and mortar retail store. The magic and simplicity of "How To Start A Movement" is profound. Derek's site and blog can be found here.

How To Start A Movement:

Derek's observations of human behavior and his ability to point out the need for us to continually challenge our perspectives is desperately needed in the world today. The more people who can embrace this type of fresh thinking, the faster our world can change for the better. Question everything, always and often. The universe is infinite. What we have been taught is never the only way in which things can exist, as demonstrated below in the differences between geospatial data and mapping in most of the western world when compared to Japan.

Weird, Or Just Different?:

Namaste.

Latest Drunvalo Melchizedek Interview By Lilou Mace

2011-02-02T01:17:00.000-08:00

On January 24th of this year, Drunvalo Melchizedek was interviewed in Sedona, Arizona by Lilou Mace of Lilou's Juicy Living Tour. If you are a fan of or have been following Drunvalo's work, you will find more interesting subject matter covered in this latest interview, including a discussion of angels, plasma beings, where we as a race currently find ourselves in history regarding the coming evolution of human consciousness and the importance of living in the heart. The interview is embedded below in three parts. The audio is not that great, especially during the first part, due to the lack of a windscreen on the microphone and the fact that it was only recorded in one channel, however, the wind becomes less of a factor in parts two and three.

Lilou lets the interviewee speak during most of her interviews that I have viewed thus far, which is great, however, I occasionally regret the lack of a pointed line of questioning, particularly when potentially intriguing information has the opportunity to be revealed. It generally frustrates me in interviews when some possible hidden gem of a topic is referenced by the interviewee and dismissed as "Well, I can't talk about that here" or "that's another subject." Often times when I hear that I say, "Wait - talk about that now." Perhaps that's just the universe providing the needed information at its designated time. Lilou's website can be found here, and her YouTube channel here. Drunvalo operates several websites, including his main website, located here. Several other important videos from Drunvalo have been included in recent posts and are available on this blog that can serve to give some additional perspective on the coming evolution in human consciousness.

Part 1: Dimensions and Angels:

Part 2: What's Next in Our Rapid Evolution?:

Part 3: Living in the Heart Now:
