Things That Go Bump In The Night:

When We Celebrated 12-12-12!
It was one of those strange days when the Georgian Calendar declared that it was the twelfth day of the twelfth month in the year 2012. Thus we marked 12-12-12 on our written checks and other notations marking the date. For numerologists, psychics and people delving in esoteric matters, the strange alignment of the numbers obviously had significant meanings. For Mayan Calendar "end-of-the-world" theorists the day marked the ninth day before the Winter Solstice on December 21, the day the ancient calendar comes to an abrupt end. For the general public the day became a time of celebration and of course the merchants, always anxious to attract customers, were offering 12-12-12 sales. So what should we have made of the numerological aspects of the day?

The Religious Condemnation Of Witches
Is there such a thing as a witch? Of course there is. We live among people with super-sensory or clairvoyant abilities. They are all around us; sometimes not realizing their special abilities exist. We now refer to such people as psychics, telepaths, prophets, visionaries, diviners, fore-tellers, mediums, empaths and seers. Some people who are especially gifted in this area make a living giving advice to others. Then, which is to be expected in areas of the metaphysical, there are the frauds that tend to give a bad name to the real psychics living and working among us.

Lake Erie's Legendary Monsters of Shipwreck
There are mysteries about Lake Erie; stories of lost ships, men and even aircraft that have caused many writers and conspiracy theorists to speculate that this lake has its own version of the infamous Bermuda Triangle. And then there are the stories told by the old men who claim to have seen or at least heard about a monster living in those waters referred to as the Storm Hag. Another eerie legend about Lake Erie involves the appearance of a ghostly black dog.

The Celebration of Halloween
As readers of my stories have probably realized by now, I really like Halloween. It is among my favorite events, mostly because it has never been officially declared a real holiday, it has ancient Celtic roots and has not been adulterated to the extreme by Christianity.

How The Celtic Holiday Samhain Became Halloween
Halloween is a contemporary version of an ancient Celtic holiday called Samhain, a celebration of the last harvest, the end of summer and for them, the first day of the New Year. The Celts celebrated the beginning of the New Year on November 1 because it was the mid-way point between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice. The day also had a dark side because it marked the beginning of the long cold winter. It was a time of the year associated with human death.

Our Changing Reality
A brilliant essay by researcher Winston Wu, rebutting skeptical arguments against the paranormal, reflects a growing awareness among members of the scientific community that there is something more occurring with the human experience than was once thought. Columnist and radio personality Whitley Stieber once noted that Wu's work "deserves extensive study" because it "carefully moves through the entire skeptical lexicon of arguments, rebutting each in turn."

The London Ghost Murder Of 1803
The Black Lion Inn of Hammersmith, in West London, is a completely restored building following a serious fire in 2009. It is not known whether the fire chased away a ghost that haunted the building for over 200 years. That ghost was believed to have been the result of a "ghost murder" in a nearby graveyard in the year 1804. The case has gone down in London history as the Hammersmith Ghost murder.

The Myth Of The 12 World Pyramids
Everybody knows about the pyramids of Egypt. Most people also are aware of pyramid-type structures built by the ancient civilizations that once inhabited the jungles of Central and Northern South America. But there are other pyramids that exist, some in China, India, and I am told that the ruins of a large pyramid also were found not long ago in the swamplands of South Florida. There have even been reports of pyramid shaped structures observed by aircraft flying over the north Alaskan tundra, peeking through the ice in Antarctica, and a massive pyramid has recently been unearthed in Indonesia.

Pagan Belief In A Solar Deity May Be Correct
I once received a letter from a 30-year-old woman who perceives our universe as a living organism. She wrote: "If you magnify an eyelash, or a drop of water, you will see millions of living cells and organisms floating around. I believe we, as humans, are part of a chain (of life) and we are a part of a higher being. . . we could be organisms (living) on another being for all I know. I believe life lives upon life, like fleas on a dog. We are humans on the Earth. Think of the Earth as one cell working in conjunction with millions upon millions of other cells."

Black Witchcraft Is A Real Force
A recent story in a Puerto Rico newspaper about a local judge and his court confrontation with a black witch reminded me of the time we met a powerful practitioner of voodoo magic in Savannah, Georgia. We also lived with a practicing witch for a short time in Arizona. They are among us.

Ryan Discourse: “It’s All A Game”
British researcher Bill Ryan says he perceives our existence on Earth as a gathering of a wide variety of souls or spirits from all over the universe, all of us here for a purpose, and our interaction with one-another “a game” that is seriously being played out in our struggle to make sense of it all. Ryan, who with American film producer-director Kerry Cassidy have founded Project Camelot, offers interesting insight into current world politics, why people are behaving strangely these days, the “alien connection” and who he believes is really running our world.

About Marduk And The Necronomicon
One of our readers, Tammie George, brought our attention to some interesting links between Biblical figures, Greek mythology, Samaritan and possibly even the Mayan gods. If George is correct, all of these ancient societies had access to the same Spirits of the Goetia that were reportedly dealt with by King Solomon. George caught our attention when she wrote: “I was reading the Book of Fifty Names by Simon, where he talks about Mayan gods, which each god does, and their sigils, which sounds a lot like the Goetia spirits.” We explore her theory.

The Human Soul Is More Than An Electrical Impulse
I recently read that a Professor Johnjoe McFadden, of the School of Biomedical and Life Sciences at the University of Surrey, in the UK, was looking for an electronic explanation for the conscious mind. McFadden entertains a theory that our thoughts are electromagnetic fields that radiate into space around us like radio or television signals. In a sense, we think the professor may be quite right about our ability to transmit messages via human energy fields, but there seems to be something more to it than mere electrical waves.

The Significance of Twins in World Mythology
A Hopi legend tells of brothers who become separated in the distant past. The younger brother goes west to establish a home for the Hopi people. The older brother travels to the east. He promises to wait there, listening for a call from his younger brother at the sign of trouble. As cataclysmic events occur, the Hopi legend says the long-lost white brother is expected to return with important information to save the people. To make sure the tribe recognizes him as the real brother, or "Pahana." The brothers break a sacred clay tablet in two parts. The white brother promises to produce his portion of the tablet when he returns. This was to be a sign of his authenticity. The Hopi legend is part of a worldwide myth linking brothers.

The Annual Rite Of The Eostre Holiday
The celebration this weekend is to the pagan goddess of spring and fertility, Eostre. It was never meant for Jesus. The Roman Catholic Church scooped up the trappings of the pagan rites of spring the turned it into a celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. In essence the holiday marks the end of winter, the rising of Ra, the Sun, and the rebirth of the green and growing foods from the earth.

A Crackdown On Psychic Services
News reports have been revealing governments that are adopting ordinances restricting and controlling the business of psychic services that have been growing in popularity. Even Time Magazine took a look at this issue, noting that the City of Warren, Michigan now has a law on the books requiring fortune tellers to be fingerprinted and to pay an annual $150 fee for a license, plus $10 for a police background check, before they can practice their craft. The Time story said the Warren ordinance is among a growing number of such laws going into effect in towns and townships not only in the United States but in Europe designed to regulate a growing number of “psychic” businesses that include palmists, fortune readers, astrologers and mystics who are operating storefront shops or working on the Internet and making a living on their trade.

Alien Skulls Under The Vatican
Deep in the catacombs under the Vatican in Italy there exists a lot of secret things, including a vast library filled with some of the most ancient books and written documents in the world. The Vatican library was recently re-opened to religious scholars following an extensive $7.5 euro three-year renovation designed to shore up "dangerous structural weaknesses" discovered in the foundation of the Sixteenth Century building and install new climate controlled equipment to protect that ancient manuscripts. Also added was a new state-of-the-art security system. It was during the renovation work that workmen, digging deep in the rock under the library, allegedly came upon a long-forgotten gravesite which, if the story is true, obviously shocked the Pope and all of the robed high priests surrounding him. The bones and skulls were humanoid, but clearly non-human in origin.

Does A Scottish Curse Lie In The Nine Of Diamonds?
Planted deep within the mythology of Scotland is an old story that the playing card nine of diamonds contains a curse either on Scotland or from Scotland. Just how this curse is supposed to be played out, who was to be the recipient and who cast it is untold. When you research the story behind this curse there are various versions. Whichever version you choose to believe, or not believe, is up to the reader. All we can say at this point is that the story seems embedded in the lore of old Scotland and is enriched mostly in the telling, depending we suppose on which part of the country you may be living or visiting when you hear it.

Turning On Our Inner Light
"This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!"
This little verse is probably known to every child and adult in America, and possibly the world. It is taught to children in camps, religious events and possibly even by parents. The problem is, few humans practice what the song declares. Consequently we live in a very dark environment. It may not appear dark to us when we are basking in the light of a warm summer day, but the darkness is subtle; it lies within the heart of most humans walking this planet. While we know the words to that simple song my heart, we have never learned to turn on our light and let it influence our thoughts and actions, and reflect upon all around us.

Shocking Prophecy For America
A blind woman that lived in a mountain community of Bulgaria who was known for her accurate prophetic messages once predicted that America’s forty-fourth president would be a black man and that he would be “the last one.” Barack Obama was the nation's forty-fourth president. Donald Trump who followed Mr. Obama was not a real president. He was a liar and a thief who caused so much damage it appears he may have destroyed the nation as we once knew it. It was said that Baba Vanga, who lived from 1911 to 1996, was about 80 percent accurate with her many visions of the future. Among her visions was the 9-11 attack on the United States and the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk. It was in 1989 that Vanga’s message was: “Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush and innocent blood will be gushing.”

Haunting Of Elizabeth V. Edwards School
Spirits are known to haunt hospitals, prisons and old houses where there has been a history of violent death. But it is rare when old school buildings are found to be haunted. An exception is the now vacant Elizabeth V. Edwards School building in Barnegat, New Jersey. Named for the woman who served as the school’s first teacher and who continued on to teach until her death in 1965, the school has had a long history in the community. It opened in 1930 and operated until 2004. People believe "Lizzy" never left the school after her physical death. But she has remained a "good ghost" that does no harm. She just makes her presence known on occasion.

Death Calls From Beyond
What has been happening in Karachi, Pakistan, has all of the trappings of a great Hollywood horror film. In this case, however, the people believe they are really being assaulted by a dark force from . . . of all places . . . beyond their cell phones. An on-line report by Bilal Farooqi told how a mobile phone tower, constructed at a local graveyard, has been identified as the link between the "dead" and the living in that city located in Southern Pakistan along the Adriatic Sea.

Tracking The Thunderbird Legend
Many tribes throughout the United States, and perhaps aboriginal people around the world, share a cross-cultural story about a giant bird that rises over the land either during times of great trouble, or perhaps to cause great trouble, and in some cases to bring thunder and rain to make the crops grow. This creature is generally known to the American tribes as the Thunderbird. Ancient cultures in Europe, including the Greeks, called it the Phoenix. Similar mythology exists throughout Africa, Asia and Europe.

X-Ray Infinity Symbol In The Heart Of The Milky Way
Something very strange has been discovered in the very heart of the massive black hole located in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Astrophysicists say data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope shows two purple disks, about 25,000 light years in diameter, forming an obvious figure eight, or the infinity symbol. The infinity sign, or the lazy eight, has long been considered an important image among the divine and spiritual peoples throughout human history. In ancient India and Tibet the symbol represented perfection, dualism and unity between male and female. In the occult tarot the symbol is linked to magic and represents balance between forces. It is the ouroborus, or the circular serpent biting its tail. Contemporary mathematicians regard the infinity symbol for just what it is called, an unending design of numbers, time and space.

Revelation of the Beast
From Another Message by The Abba Father
This report hangs on two important sources. The first is a vivid and repetitious dream shared with me by a woman who experienced them in the 1960s. The second is a later revelation by The Abba Father, which explained the woman’s dream. The crux of the story is that there is a great beast, or dragon-type of a creature that lays chained and asleep deep in the catacombs under the Vatican. This creature is so mentally powerful that it controls all world governments and financial institutions. This beast, which has been on our planet for thousands of years, is the real force behind all of the wars, chaos and troubles that have made this planet in constant discord and in an unbalanced state throughout known human history and beyond.

Yes – We All Have A Third Eye
People who delve into the occult probably know about the so-called “third eye.” But they may not understand just what it is, if they really have it, and if so, how to use it. While some creatures in this world still have a visible third eye, humans do not. But it exists and is usually functioning whether we know it or not. Some occultists claim to even use it to envision a secret third world that exists all around us. On-line writer and researcher Scott Thill once wrote a great in-depth report explaining just what that third eye is and how it functions for us. He wrote: “Located in nearly the direct center of the brain, the tiny pine-cone-shaped pineal gland, which habitually secretes melatonin while we sleep at night.”

Amazing Design Found In The Flower Of Life Pattern
There is something in the occult world known as Sacred Geometry which is, in essence, a universal system of patterns found in the natural design of everything in the universe. Some say that these patterns are even found in music, light, and the way all things are made. Of all the beautiful patterns and designs found in Sacred Geometry, perhaps the most perfect and complete is the Flower of Life, a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles that form a flower-like pattern with a six-fold symmetry like a hexagon. Within this pattern, the center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter. This design is ancient. It is found in sacred buildings dating back to ancient Egypt. It also has been found in Phoenician, Assyrian, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern and medieval art.

Using The Ouija Board
The Ouija is an odd instrument. It was invented and marketed by Elijah Bond in 1890, and sold as a harmless parlor game. But it slowly became popular with occultists after Spiritualist Pearl Curran used it as a divining tool to allegedly speak to the dead during the First World War. The Ouija board is basically a flat wooden board with a circular row of letters, a flat row of numbers, and the words "yes" and "no" printed on it. The operator then uses a piece of wood, plastic or some other object as a planchette. Participants in the "game" collectively place their fingers on the planchette and wait after a question is asked. Eventually the planchette begins to move in a circular motion. It then begins to guide over certain letters of the alphabet, slowly spelling out words, or it simply answers "yes" or "no." People who have done Ouija swear that the planchette moves outside of their control.

The Spiritual Significance of the Number 12
It was one of those strange days when the Georgian Calendar declared that it was the twelfth day of the twelfth month in the year 2012. Thus we marked 12-12-12 on our written checks and other notations marking the date. For numerologists, psychics and people delving in esoteric matters, the strange alignment of the numbers obviously had significant meanings. For Mayan Calendar "end-of-the-world" theorists the day marked the ninth day before the Winter Solstice on December 21, the day the ancient calendar comes to an abrupt end. For the general public the day became a time of celebration and of course the merchants, always anxious to attract customers, were offering 12-12-12 sales. So what should we have made of the numerological aspects of the day? This is an amazing number. Read on to learn more.

For numerologists, psychics and people delving in esoteric matters, the strange alignment of the numbers obviously had significant meanings. For Mayan Calendar "end-of-the-world" theorists the day marked the ninth day before the Winter Solstice on December 21, the day the ancient calendar comes to an abrupt end. For the general public the day became a time of celebration and of course the merchants, always anxious to attract customers, were offering 12-12-12 sales. So what should we have made of the numerological aspects of the day? This is an amazing number. Read on to learn more.
Spiritual Highways In American Mythology
We noted an odd story about a number of Christians who think US Interstate 35, heading north from Texas through six states into Minnesota, is a “Highway of Holiness” mentioned in the Bible. We have also traveled the old Highway 666 that once ran north from Gallup, New Mexico, north through Colorado and Utah. Folks called it the Devil's Highway for obvious reasons. The numbers have been changed in recent years, also for obvious political and religious reasons.

Death Calls From Beyond
What happened in Karachi, Pakistan, has all of the trappings of a great Hollywood horror film. In this case, however, the people believe they are really being assaulted by a dark force from . . . of all places . . . beyond their cell phones. An on-line report by Bilal Farooqi told how a mobile phone tower, constructed at a local graveyard, has been identified as the link between the "dead" and the living in that city located in Southern Pakistan along the Adriatic Sea.

The Genius Of World Wizard Aleister Crowley
Among the many unsung heroes that walked this planet was the infamous Aleister Crowley whose brilliant accomplishments were successfully blackened by religious propaganda. One can scour the Internet and search the libraries of the world and find lots of books filled with dark and twisted stories about Crowley’s evil links with the Devil. He was once so feared by the church that he was considered “The Wickedest Man In The World.” But if we toss the Christian smear material aside and get to the truth, we find a genius lurking there unlike anything the world has seen either before or since.

Haunted Houses Are Everywhere
The late rage among realtors in selling haunted houses may seem peculiar. But in this new somewhat insane world, people are demanding strange and exotic things. Why wouldn’t they be interested in owning and sharing a house with spirits of the past? What surprises me is that buyers are being goaded into paying extra to purchase a home with ghosts. In my years of reporting and because of the hobby my wife and I shared, of buying and restoring old homes, I can report from personal experience that most older homes are very likely haunted.

Religious Nuttiness About A Cheese Sandwich
Back in the year 2000 there was a strange story about an infamous cheese sandwich with an image of the Virgin Mary on it. The sandwich made headlines when it sold on eBay for a whopping $28,000. Does anybody today ever wonder whatever happened to that sandwich? The buyer, ColdenPalace.com, an online casino in Florida with headquarters in Canada, claim that the sandwich has shown no evidence of aging. At the time of the sale the casino executives said they were willing to spend "as much as it took" to own the sandwich half with a bite taken out of it.

Cannon’s View Of Looming Ascension
The late hypnotherapist and past-life regressionist Dolores Cannon, in a brief appearance in an on-line video titled “2012” offered the best explanation we have yet seen of how the Earth may go through the looming ascension as foretold by world visionaries. Cannon asks her audience to envision the Earth as a single cell that divides, just as we observe living cells split while looking at them through a microscope. She said she believes the new planet that emerges will be an almost exact replica of the original Earth at the time of creation. It will be a copy of its original self before humans polluted the land, air and water and took their toll on the planet’s resources.

Does A Scottish Curse Lie In The Nine Of Diamonds?
Planted deep within the mythology of Scotland is an old story that the playing card nine of diamonds contains a curse either on Scotland or from Scotland. Just how this curse is supposed to be played out, who was to be the recipient and who cast it is untold. When you research the story behind this curse there are various versions. Whichever version you choose to believe, or not believe, is up to the reader. All we can say at this point is that the story seems embedded in the lore of old Scotland and is enriched mostly in the telling, depending we suppose on which part of the country you may be living or visiting when you hear it.

Was Demon Choronzon Called Into The Iraq War?
When a World Prayer Team network sent out a call for a world moment of Christian prayer in support of President Bush and the planned war against Iraq, I was shocked at the time set for this event. The prayer was set for 3:00 PM on March 3, 2003. The Christians chose to pray at 3-3-03. My surprise was centered on my knowledge of esoteric matters. We recognized the number 333 as an occult symbol for Choronzon, the dreaded demon of chaos.

Robert the Haunted Doll
It may seem hard to believe that a children’s doll can be haunted and that it’s existence can not only frighten people who have personal contact, but has a reputation of causing harm to those appear to anger it. Tucked away at the Fort East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida, is a relatively large, plain appearing old figurine known as Robert the Doll. And this doll is said to be very haunted.

The Spirit in George Ferguson's Head
It probably was no accident that George Ferguson came into my life during the strange spring of 1995. I was lecturing on Great Lakes shipwrecks at a small private museum in Michigan, and Ferguson's wife was among the people in the audience. She approached me after the lecture and asked me to meet her husband. She said he was struggling to write a book and needed a lot of help. She said George was an uneducated man who was directed by some strange spiritual force to write this particular book. She said I had to meet him to understand what she was talking about. How could I resist exploring a mystery like that?

The Spider Woman Myth
As we lived among both the Navajo and Hopi people we heard stories of Spider Woman, their name for the great creator of the people. Raymond Begay took us out along the rim of Canyon de Chelly and pointed out a tall pointed rock formation where he believed Spider Woman lived. Not long after that, we befriended Ted Kootsewatewa, a Hopi two-horned priest, who talked about a path leading from his home at the foot of the Second Mesa, toward the village of Mishongnovi, where he said he believed Spider Woman made her home.

Peyote; the Sacred Sacrament
The late author Robert Anton Wilson claimed that the psychedelic effect of the cactus flower peyote, which grows mostly in the hot moist climate of southern Texas and parts of Mexico, is almost identical to the experience of taking lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD. Both are described as "mind expanding" drugs. There is much argument about just how dangerous either peyote or LSD is to those who indulge. The United States government ruled LSD illegal about forty years ago. Because of a trade agreement signed in 1993, both LSD and peyote became equally illegal in Canada, the United States and Mexico. This agreement, and the fact that all three governments got equally hard-nosed about peyote use in 1993, created a serious problem for certain Navajo people in Arizona, the Huichol Indians in northern Mexico, and many other tribes through the mid-section and western Americas. That is because peyote is considered as sacred a sacrament to the Native American Church as bread and wine are to Christian believers during communion ceremonies.

The Haunting Visions Of Psychic Jeane Dixon
The late psychic Jeane Dixon, many will remember, was said to have gained fame because of her accurate prediction of the death of President J. F. Kennedy. But this woman saw numerous other things that came true. Some of the events she predicted may still be of great interest to the contemporary world. She called radio stations and identified herself as Madam X. When Madam X called, it was clear that the radio host recognized her voice, and that they had spoken before. "John Kennedy will be our next elected president," she said. "But he will be our last real president. After that, America will have something else."

Visions Experienced In A 1816 Gathering
When we think of contemporary horror films we think of two inexplicable beasts of the silver screen . . . Frankenstein, the monster created by a crazed scientists trying to bring the dead back to life . . . and Dracula, the blood supping vampire that roams in the night. What is especially interesting is that the novel, Frankenstein, was written by Mary Shelley, the second wife of British novelist Percy Bysshe Shelley, on a dare while they were waiting out a stormy summer with other well-known writers in 1816. Dracula is a Gothic horror novel created by Irish writer Bram Stoker in 1897, who in an indirect way, was linked to that same group of horror writers.

King Ben and the House of David
At the time I worked in Benton Harbor a remnant of the once infamous House of David still existed. The property is but a museum today, and the official story of what happened there has been somewhat distorted. Yet I know that what went on in that cult was one of the strangest stories linked to a religious belief system that has ever occurred. The cult was still active and still wielded some political power in the community when we were there in the 1960s. But the members that remained, all white-haired older women in long dresses and men with long flowing beards that reminded us of the Amish, were fast dying off. Yet they still waited faithfully for their god, the founder of the cult named Benjamin Purnell, to rise up from the dead and carry them all to glory.

The Ghost Ship Off Nova Scotia Coast
It was a strange story that appeared recently in the Truro Daily News at Truro, Nova Scotia, and was copied word-for-word by various web sites of paranormal interest. It seems that a 17-year-old youth from Katimavik spotted the lights of a fully rigged sailing ship in Tatamagouche Bay, at the mouths of the French and Waugh Rivers. The sighting was marked as paranormal because of two factors; the sighting occurred in mid-winter when the bay was completely frozen over, and because it was a sailing ship, something that hasn’t been observed in Tatamagouche Bay for well over a century.

Turning On Our Inner Light
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!"
We live in a very dark environment. It may not appear dark to us when we are basking in the light of a warm summer day, but the darkness is subtle; it lies within the heart of most humans walking this planet. While we know the words to that simple song we have never learned to turn on our light and let it influence our thoughts and actions, and reflect upon all around us.

That Strange Friday The Thirteenth Myth
There is a peculiar myth in American culture, and I believe it may carry in cultures around the world, that every thirteenth day of the month that falls on a Friday is a very unlucky day. In fact, there is mythology that marks the Number 13 as unlucky, and other tales claim Friday is the unluckiest day of the week. Ships used to delay departures on Fridays and lie over an extra day because sailors thought any vessel that left port on a Friday was doomed to a bad voyage. So what is the origin of such a frightening belief?

The Star People Living Among Us
Among the interesting myths to be found among the esoteric writings is a story about "Star People," or aliens from other lives and other worlds choosing to visit this planet in human bodies. I find myself wondering if this isn't a reference to the arrival of the "elders" or the "old ones" as foretold by The Abba Father. For those who have not read the Abba Father dialogues on this site, he has explained that the old ones once lived among humanity as governors and supervisors . . . almost in the role of parents during the early stages of human evolution. Now that we have made a mess of the world, our environment, and are threatened with the possibility of going extinct, the Abba Father says the elders are returning to help us through a great transition. The story said we can identify these special people living among us because of certain interesting traits.

Have Time Travelers Been With Us?
Ever since H. G. Wells excited the imagination of millions with his 1895 novel "The Time Machine," the concept of time travel has fascinated science-fiction writers. Within the last century, intricate and complex plots developed as writers carefully thought of all the problems linked to someone projecting himself either back or forward in time. They wondered what would happen if, for example, a time traveler met himself, or went into the past and altered a single event that had a major impact on the future. Those who recall the popular Hollywood film series "Back to the Future" understand just how complex those time travel plots can get. But is time travel possible? Do we entertain visitors from the future? If so, how do we know?

Talking to the Dead
Experimentation with out-of-body travel in the weeks after her death brought me face-to-face one day with my mother. I was amazed to find her looking radiant and young, a woman in the prime of life. She was happy and glad to see me. The world in the astral is a silent one, however, and no words were exchanged. We spoke telepathically, which was just fine. The Monroe tapes also teach you the basics for that kind of communication. You visualize pictures in your mind rather than speak words aloud. At the same time, my wife, Doris, who could communicate with the dead through a form of writing, treated me to several personal sessions with her.

Do We Have A Third Eye?
Few people exist who have not heard something about “the third eye.” Mythological beings like Goliath, the giant slain by David’s sling, was said to have had only one eye in the middle of his forehead. Greek and Roman mythology includes stories of the cyclops, a race of primitive giants who had but one eye. Did they really exist? Those involved in spiritual and esoteric enlightenment refer to the third eye as an invisible eye that offers perception beyond ordinary sight. The Hindu paint a small mark on the forehead, between the eyebrows, symbolizing the Anja or chakra from which this special wisdom comes.

World Medicine Wheel Marks Summer Solstice
Native tribes from around the world recognize the Summer Solstice, June 21, as a special day of the year. It is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the time when the Earth is tilted at its farthest point so that folks in the Northern Latitudes experience the Sun reaching its highest position in the sky and is the day. It is an important part of the year’s growing season. It should not be surprising that the tribes celebrate June 21 by marking the Earth as a giant medicine wheel, with sacred sites established in the United States, Europe, Australia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Ireland, and the Middle East. The medicine wheel is recognized as a symbol of symmetry and balance, not only for world leaders but for individual worshipers. It is considered the sacred circle of life; marking special elements in four directions, North, South, East and West.

Choronzon and the Pit
Back when we lived for a while in Springerville, Arizona, we had an address of 333. Our telephone number had triple threes, and when we rented a Post Office box we were given the number 33. We laughed nervously about this because we were, at the time, deep into a study of Alistair Crowley and other esoteric writers who linked the numbers to the demon Choronzon. It was a trying time in our lives since my late wife, Doris, was ill and dealing with altitude problems. And I was operating a county bureau there for the White Mountain Independent, located some 60 miles away. We joked that we were trapped in Choronzon’s Pit.

The Message Within The Ankh
The ankh is an ancient symbol that has been used and perhaps abused in religious context for thousands of years. The symbol is found in the art of ancient Egypt. It was used by the Coptic Christians as a sign of the cross. Witches even today see the ankh as a symbol of life and immortality. This symbol, an oval mounted at the top of a Tau, is often used as an amulet. It offers the appearance of a key and many believe it has magical qualities, granting the wearer health and happiness. Some have called it the Key of Life because of its creative power. The loop, which is shaped somewhat like a vagina, is considered to be the feminine, while the T shape is masculine. Together they reflect a continued existence. All of these descriptions of the ankh help us understand its true meaning, although they only touch the surface of the deep significance of this symbol.

Turning Off To The World
The late Dr. Timothy Leary had a catch phrase aimed at the Hippie Generation during the psychedelic 60's. He instructed the youth to "turn on, tune in, drop out." It was an invitation to take psychedelic drugs, use the drugs to awaken the mind to reality, and then separate from a profane world. Governmental authority succeeded in destroying Leary. His words were misinterpreted by law enforcement to mean that the doctor, a skilled psychologist, was leading America's youth into an evil drug culture. Leary's advice was sound and his message should still be listened to even today.

Do Amulets Really Protect Us?
My first experience at trying an amulet as a protection against evil spirits and bad luck occurred a few years ago. It was during our time with the Native Americans of the Southwest that I was presented a gift of a small crystal wrapped inside a cowhide pouch designed to be worn around the neck. I was told that it would bring me good fortune and assist me in my spiritual path. I am remembering the amulet because it was recently found while we were digging through some old boxes filled with stuff that has been stored and traveling around with us for a few years. The crystal is still in the pouch, along with some needles from a cedar tree, once planted by my father-in-law on the family homestead.
My first experience at trying an amulet as a protection against evil spirits and bad luck occurred a few years ago. It was during our time with the Native Americans of the Southwest that I was presented a gift of a small crystal wrapped inside a cowhide pouch designed to be worn around the neck. I was told that it would bring me good fortune and assist me in my spiritual path.

Those Mysterious Time Slips
The stories of people stepping unexpectedly back in time are familiar to all of us. When I hear them there is always a strange sense of déjà vu and the hair seems to rise up in the back of my neck. I am talking about peculiar slips in time, when people experience events, or catch strange glimpses of people, places, and moments out of the past. It is as if the ghosts of lost souls are stuck in that moment in time and reliving some event like a broken record that keeps playing the same bars over and over.

House Cats Are Psychic Gifts To Mankind
We have had a few cats in our home throughout the years. I like their graceful moves, their beauty, their haughty attitudes, and especially enjoy them for their intelligence and psychic abilities. Sometimes I think cats live in a different dimension than humans. I find it strange that some humans dislike cats. I have seen drivers go out of their way to run over a cat on the edge of the road. There are superstitions about black cats, and I am told that one high U.S. official believed calico cats are evil. They are so wrong.

The Day We Banished A Ghost from Our House
Ghosts really exist. They appear to be the spirits of past souls that hang out in buildings where they died or favorite places they liked to frequent. Because we had a hobby of buying and repairing old houses, my late wife and I encountered a few, and in one case, had to banish a mischievous spirit from the house. It was especially personal because it was the ghost of my mother-in-law.

Holy Number 666
When we lived in Northeast Arizona we sometimes traveled U.S. 666, a highway going north from Gallup to Shiprock in the heart of Navajo Land. Dubbed "the devil's highway," the name was a target of Christians who declared this to be an evil number because the Bible implies it is the number of the great beast of the apocalypse. There was a movement in political circles even then to change the name. I noticed that then New Mexico’s Gov. Bill Richardson and Highway and Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught changed the name to an innocuous "491." The Cabala, a book of numbers, reveals that 666 is a magic number. It is known in esoteric circles as the "magic square of the sun." It is a number secretly used in sacred geometry and was once used in the design of the great temples of the world. In numerics 666 is a spiral. It is the symbol of the universal pattern of growth in nature.

480-Year-Old Map Astounds Scientists
It is known as the Carta Marina, an ancient map drawn by Swedish cartographer Olaus Magnus in 1539 that accurately depicts the North Atlantic, including land masses, islands and even sea swirls that are astounding the scientific community. Oceanographers at Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of Rhode Island were surprised when they discovered that swirls drawn on the map by that 16th Century artist correspond almost perfectly with thermal eddies caused by the Gulf Stream passing the cold waters of the arctic. That Olaus Magnus, a Swedish priest living in exile from his own land in Italy, captured the exact location of the front with what appeared to be artistic sweeps of his pen, appears more than mere coincidence, suggests Professor Tom Rossby at the University of Rhode Island.

If We Create Our Reality With Our Minds . . .
There is a belief by some spiritual thinkers that if the Creator exists within each of us, we create our own unique universe in which we live. In effect, this theology also teaches that since we create our own reality, we also create our personal situation in life, including the physical afflictions, struggles against poverty, and all of the other troubles we face in our daily walk. Why would we do this? The idea is that we have chosen this life style because we decided even before we were born to accept it as a way of working our old karma, bad habits and working off evil deeds committed in past lives.

Our Dreams Can Reflect Out-Of-Body Travels
A news clip about a police officer that dreamed where a missing deaf and dumb woman was accidentally trapped in a chimney flu in Wales prompted me to write a brief discourse on dreams and what goes on while we sleep. It seems this woman was a housekeeper in the home where she lived. When she went missing one day in 1871, the homeowner summoned help from the local police. That morning a man identified only as Inspector Strefford came to the house, walked straight down the cellar stairs, and found the woman stuck hard in an open flue. She had fallen there from the fireplace in the room above and because of her condition was unable to call for help. The woman was stuck so fast it required the removal of a portion of the chimney to free her. Her life was saved because the inspector had a dream that led him right to her.

Ominous Predictions of Last Days
There has rarely been times in human memory that the entire world has been caught up in the kind of chaotic condition that we now find ourselves in. The growing wall between government “authority” and the people has become a “them and us” status in nearly every nation. There is a general collapse of financial, educational, religious and social institutions as we once knew them. The very planet we live on is overcrowded, polluted, running out of resources and in a state of upheaval. Is the Christian myth of a looming apocalypse about to befall us? What can we expect? Why is all of this happening?

Are The Old Ones Returning To Set Thing Right?
It was sometime during our time with him that The Abba Father identified himself as one of “The Old Ones” and said that they were even then in the process of returning to Earth. Their mission is to help repair and restore the planet and bring it back to health. They intend to bring to an end a ravaging by a runaway alien dominated society of enslaved humans that has been going on for thousands of years.

Planetary Alignment Over Giza – What Did It Mean?
After Charles Marcello published the image of three bright stars perfectly aligned over the three large pyramids at Giza, Egypt on his blog, World Mysteries, the image went viral throughout the Internet.This happened in late 2012. As predicted, Mercury, Venus and Saturn appeared in perfect alignment over the pyramids in the early morning hours of December 3, 2012. It was allegedly an event that only happens once every 2,737 years. So what did astrologers and The Abba Father have to say about it?

The New Human Regeneration
There was an incredible story making its rounds on the web awhile back about a Dr. Berrenda Fox, a holistic practitioner from Avalon Wellness Centre, Mt. Shasta, Calif., who claimed humans are going through DNA and cellular changes and are becoming a new life form. Fox, who said she was working on programming explaining an understanding of "extraterrestrials and their role in what is happening with mankind," claimed she had documented evidence that many children and some adults were mutating into something else. She says nobody knows what we are turning into, however. Whatever it is, they are among us.

Hold On For The Ride
While world leaders grapple for a way to solve a growing list of seemingly insurmountable problems, a large number of folks who have been pursuing ancient spiritual pathways say they not only know what is going on, but they welcome the future with open arms. They say the Earth is moving into a new dimension. The change is going to be a bumpy ride, especially for people who are clinging to old religious belief systems and world materialism, and it is likely that not everyone will make the switch. Or at best they will come into this new world kicking and screaming.

The Hopi Blue Star Prophecy
It was in 1997 that my wife, Doris and I accompanied a Hopi two-horned priest to the Third Mesa at Kykotsmovi, Arizona where we had the honor of visiting a special Elder of the reservation. This man had some amazing stories and prophetic messages. He said he was one of only about eight “Elders” left in the tribe. That meant that he was there before the government forced the children to move off the reservation to attend a public school, learn the “white man’s” ways and give up tribal customs.
He told us some secret things about the Blue Star Kachina, the returning Pahana or Pale Prophet who would arrive just before the Purification. He also spoke of looming Earth Changes.

The Haunting Of The House On Hale Road
I think I first concluded that I was living in a haunted house after a twisted maple branch threw a large tree trunk at me. The tree came down on my left leg, cracking the bone near the knee. I ended up in a cast from my ankle to my hip, and was forced to spend most of my time lying flat on my back for the next three months. Suddenly my busy schedule braked to a stop. I had time to reflect on my life. I spent hours thinking, reading, and watching television. My wife made weekly trips to the local library, keeping me stocked with books. Among the books I whipped through that fall was "The Amityville Horror," a popular story about a haunted house in which events got so strange the occupants were forced to move. I began to compare some of the strange events linked to that New England house with goings on in our own home. Because I was always on the run, never taking time to stop and really look at my surroundings, I missed the fact that we had something supernatural happening right under our noses.

Are Blue Whales Singing A Warning Song?
There has been a strange phenomenon occurring among the giant blue whales throughout the oceans of the world. Their songs are changing, and the modulation, which involves a reduction of pitch to lower and lower hertz, is global in scale. The scientists say they cannot explain it. They suggest it may be a reaction to increasing noise pollution in the oceans from submarine sonar and other military technology. But the shamanic elders of the Siberian Yupik peoples, on Russia’s far eastern Chukchi Peninsula, are saying the whales are sounding a warning.

Explorations Into The Collective Unconscious Library
For years we have written about something called a collective unconsciousness . . . a common thread of knowledge that seems to be pooled in a brain library that all humans can access through right brain functioning. The name was coined by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. This human library appears to be the glue that the shaman refers to when he declares that "we are all one." What he means is that all people are linked to a common light system . . . some call it God . . . from which we originated.

George Washington’s Angelic Vision Of America
There was a story told by Anthony Sherman, a military officer that served under General George Washington, who was present with Washington at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777. It seems that Washington was visited by an angelic being that gave him visions of the new nation that was to be the result of the war Washington’s rag-tag army was fighting. In this vision, as allegedly told to Sherman directly by Washington after it happened, Washington learned his army would win the Revolutionary War and establish the Union. After that he had a vision of two more great tribulations; the Civil War and finally a great war fought on the soil of the United States.

Out-of-body Experiences
With the advancement of emergency medical procedures, the so-called "near death experience" has drawn a lot of attention. While there are scoffers, people who have experienced it swear they were really out of their bodies, sometimes hovering by a ceiling light fixture, watching the doctors and medical staffers struggle to bring them back to life. We have called these events near-death experiences. A more correct description would be out-of-body experiences. I have discovered that with the proper training, we all can do this at will. Now that I can do it, I believe many of us do it unconsciously during a "daydream" and routinely while we are asleep.

Is The Cosmos A Living Entity?
As I gazed out on the paved street in front of our home I was suddenly struck with a revelation about how interconnected the people of our nation are just because of the paved roads. I realized that it was going to be possible for us to drive on a constant ribbon of pavement to where ever we chose to go without ever leaving it. I didn’t realize it at that moment, but I was experiencing the first awareness of something even more deep in the human consciousness. It wasn’t until a few years later when I developed an interest in spiritual and esoteric thinking that the concept of a collective consciousness was thrust into my brain.

Dancing Through Time With Deja vu
We all have recollections of a Deja vu experience. The word is a French expression that means “already seen.” It is that eerie feeling that we’ve been in a place, or walked down a street, before actually being there. It almost seems as if we are reliving a dream. And then there is the opposite sensation, rarely talked about, of having a feeling of being in a strange place even though we are in familiar territory. For a technical name, it is known as Jamais vu.

Final Ninth Wave Of The Mayan Calendar
An ominous prophecy and a possible explanation for the extreme world chaos that has been occurring since March 9, 2011, is being explained by astrologers and students of the Mayan calendar. They are joining a chorus of chanelers, contemporary prophets and esoteric thinkers who believe the Earth is moving into a new phase of existence and that the change will have a major impact on humanity.

About Ley Lines
We first heard about ley lines when my wife and I met a homeless young man at Sedona, Arizona. The man, whom we thought quite insane, said he could see the ley lines surrounding the Earth and knew how to alter the energies that follow them. I had forgotten about the ley line story until I read about the theories of Alfred Watkins. He suggested that the megaliths, standing stones, old crosses, burial mounds, old churches and other ancient markers throughout the British Isles are aligned with ley lines circling the planet. Watkins noted that according to old folk-lore, there is a natural flow of energy that follows the lines.

The Tragic History of Doctor Faust
Literary buffs are familiar with Christopher Marlowe’s “The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus” and Goethe’s “Faust.” But few readers of those infamous stories know that there was a real Dr. Johann Georg Faust and that the stories appear to be based on the legend of his tragic life. According to legend, Faust became involved with the occult, learned how to summon the devil, and sold his soul in exchange for 24 years of a life of pleasure. As the years passed Faust learned to regret his deal and made an attempt to withdraw it. According to the various fictional stories, Faust paid dearly for his decision. It was said the devil tore him to pieces and left his remains on a dung heap near Wittenberg. His eyes were glued to a wall.

Sixteenth Century German Mystic Cornelius Agrippa
He was labeled a heretic by the church and some might have said he was in league with the devil, but German Mystic Heririch Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim left an indelible mark on the renaissance esoterica of his day. In fact three of his books on the occult are still circulating today.

Strange Story of Tartini’s “Devil’s Trill”
Italian composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) was said to have composed over 400 works during his lifetime. Among them is a piece he named the “Devil’s Trill Sonata.” It was said that Tartini composed this work after hearing it played in a dream. And the performer in the dream was none other than the Devil.

Did General Moulton Really Sell His Soul?
There is an old story about Brigadier General Jonathan Mouton, an officer in the Union Army under George Washington, who amassed a fortune during his years in the colonies but then died a sudden and terrible death because he sold his soul to the devil, and then attempted to cheat the devil during a delivery of gold coins.

The Wail of the Banshee
There is an eerie Irish myth that speaks of the banshee, a “woman of the fairy mounds” who emits a piercing wail when someone near is about to die. When the sound is heard, or sometimes the spirit is actually seen in one of its many forms, it is considered by the old Irish as an omen of death.

Krampus
The Great Santa Claus Myth
The image of Santa Claus is strongly associated with the bane that a rebellious branch of society and some fundamental Christians have dubbed the “commercialization of Christmas.” But the figure as we know it stems from ancient and spooky mythology that has its origins before the birth of Jesus.

Astral Flying
While there are scoffers, people who accidentally enter the astral for brief periods, usually while near death in a hospital emergency room, swear they are really out of their bodies. They find themselves hovering by a ceiling light fixture, watching the doctors and medical staffers working to bring their bodies back to life.

Catholic Priests Exorcising Something, But What?
Roman Catholic priests have strangely returned to the ancient rites of exorcism because of what they claim has been a flurry of demonic activity in the world. Based on what is known about the angelic and demonic spirits that live among us, the stories seem somewhat unlikely. While both angels and demons can “possess” humans, their influence is so subtle that the host rarely is aware of the possession. So what are the priests battling?

Messages From The Other Side
Not too many years ago we published a criticism of people that claim to speak to the dead. The article quoted a man who declared that such assertions were hoaxes. “The dead are dead,” said he. “Their nervous system is shut down. Their eyes no longer see. And they are no longer aware of you or anything around them.” I wrote his story, but with great personal reservation. That is because before he made these claims, I had visited my own mother after her passing in 1998. Also my late wife, Doris J. Donahue, who had the amazing ability to communicate with spirits beyond the veil, received at least two messages from her before she went on into the light.

Moses On Drugs?
While this site consistently questions the Christian story in general and we note there is some doubt as to the existence of many of the Old Testament characters so endured by people of the Jewish faith, we have to take exception to a report that Moses was “high on drugs” when he received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. The story implies that the commandments, so long the root of most laws of behavior in Christian and Jewish societies, were generated in the mind of a man who was lost in a psychedelic cloud and were not from God.

Psychics, Clairvoyants and Prophets
As we read through various articles about the contemporary “psychic” phenomenon, most penned by journalists lacking much knowledge about their subject, there is a realization that people are confused as to what right-brain functioning is all about. When we read stories about psychics, the writers often expect these people to have clear visions of future events, something very rare, indeed. The true prophetic vision is achieved only by a prophet, and throughout history, these gifted people have been few and far between.

The Message Within The Ankh
The ankh is an ancient symbol that has been used and perhaps abused in religious context for thousands of years. The symbol is found in the art of ancient Egypt. It was used by the Coptic Christians as a sign of the cross. Witches even today see the ankh as a symbol of life and immortality.

Aztec
The Swastika Never Belonged To The Nazis
People all over the world today relate the symbol known as the swastika, or the cross with its arms bent to the right, to the German Nazi movement that led to the Second World War. Because it now has connotations of evil, it is rarely seen.
That is unfortunate because the swastika is a very ancient symbol that has been used, especially by religious groups, all over the world and for as long as there has been a recorded human history.

The Agony of Theophilus
There is a strange legend involving an orthodox cleric who allegedly made a pact with the Devil to gain an ecclesiastical position of Bishop in the Sixth Century Church of Adana, Cilicia, which is now Turkey. There have been many stories about famous and infamous people who have made such pacts but the story of Theophilus is believed to be the oldest.

Haunting Visions Of Psychic Jeane Dixon
An Internet entry a few years ago by a person identified only as Brother V sparked some research into the strange visions of the late psychic Jeane Dixon. Dixon, many will remember, was said to have gained fame because of her accurate prediction of the death of President J. F. Kennedy. But this woman saw numerous other things that came true. Some of the events she predicted may still be of great interest to the contemporary world.

The Mysterious "Watchers"
We have the sense that something, or some organization of aliens, or perhaps a secret counsel of superior beings, is sitting in judgment over all that occurs on this planet. While some would like to think of this entity as God, we sense that it is something very different, yet possessing a chilling power over our future. A lot of ancient text refers to “watchers” from the heavens. The Egyptians, for example, told of migrating from the biblical land of Shin’ar, which means Land of the Watchers. The Egyptians called it Ta Neter, or Land of the Watchers “from which the gods came into Egypt.”

Explaining The Occult Signature L.V.X.
When students of Aleister Crowley pass correspondence to one another, they usually attach the letters L.V.X. at the bottom of the manuscript. As in all of the secrets from the world of the mystics, the meaning of the letters, or symbols, is deeply rooted in Qabalistic mysteries. We once ran into a written walk-through this maze that explains the meaning of the letters.

The Spirit in George Ferguson's Head
You couldn't find a more common or more likable man that George Ferguson. Saddled with only a primary school education, George was a heavy duty mechanic who traveled around repairing big construction equipment. A pure blooded Scotsman, he liked to show his family coat of arms and attend Scottish rites in the area, dressed in the family colors. He had his own kilt and Scottish dress, which he enjoyed modeling it whenever he had a willing subject. George was an unlikely candidate for the odd spiritual thing that happened to him and the heavy burden it placed on his shoulders. Ferguson described the first contact as a voice. The first few times it happened, he said he dismissed it as hallucinations. But the voices returned again and again. After a while George said he started taking them seriously, and listening to what they had to say. He began to realize that there was more than one voice.

Living Among The Mysterious Hopi
When my wife and I went among the Hopi people in 1997 we befriended a two-horned priest who introduced us to one of the last six living tribal elders. We were privileged to have been taught and shown things that outsiders rarely, if ever, get to see. Theirs is a complex story that is not easy to grasp. In fact, the Hopi are known for their secrecy in revealing their religious beliefs, their history and just who they believe they are. In essence, the Hopi appear to teach that they are an original people brought to this world, or what they refer to as The Fourth World.

Alien Skulls Under The Vatican
The Vatican library was recently re-opened to religious scholars following an extensive $7.5 euro three-year renovation designed to shore up "dangerous structural weaknesses" discovered in the foundation of the Sixteenth Century building. New climate controlled equipment to protect that ancient manuscripts and a new state-of-the-art security system also were installed. It was during the renovation work that workmen, digging deep in the rock under the library, allegedly came upon a long-forgotten grave-site which, if the story is true, obviously shocked the Pope and all of the robed high priests surrounding him. The bones and skulls were reportedly humanoid, but clearly non-human in origin.

Paganini; “The Devil’s Violinist”
Niccolo Paganini, the great Italian violin virtuoso, is proclaimed to have been the greatest violinist who ever lived. His compositions and his renditions were so amazing they said it drove people who heard his music to tears. His ability to play three octaves across four strings in a hand span is still considered nearly impossible. Of the 24 Caprices he composed, few other violinists have been able to play them. That he accomplished such amazing fetes led to a belief by many that Paganini was believed to have made a pact with the devil that allowed him to perform almost supernatural displays.

What Can We Expect On The “New Earth?”
An essay titled “Earth Shifts” posted in 2009 by Kara Mooney looked at the many prophetic messages about a looming correction of the planet, just what it might involve and added speculation as to what it would mean for the human race. Indeed, there has been a world-wide spiritual awakening going on since the days of the hippie movement and LSD when Galt MacDermot’s great song “This Is The Dawning Of The Age Of Aquarius” broke out on the New York stage from the musical Hair. Are extreme changes coming and if so, what will be happening? The opinions are interesting.

Cannon’s View Of Looming Ascension
Hypnotherapist and past-life regressionist Dolores Cannon, in a brief appearance in the on-line video “2012,” offers the best explanation we have yet seen of how the Earth may go through the looming ascension as foretold by world visionaries. Cannon asks her audience to envision the Earth as a single cell that divides, just as we observe living cells split while looking at them through a microscope. She said she believes the new planet that emerges will be an almost exact replica of the original Earth at the time of creation.

The Lady Sopwith Legend
The First World War was a long and bloody global four-year engagement that raged from 1914 to 1918. More than 70 million soldiers fought that war leaving 16 million combatants and civilians dead by the time it ended. Out of that war emerged several strange stories from the occult that are still being told to this day. Among the strangest stories was the legend of Lady Sopwith, a beautiful blonde woman who allegedly flew through the skies of Europe in an English Sopwith E-5, teasing and playing dogfight with English pilots and shooting down German fighter planes.

Greek Mythology Links Uranus With Mother Earth
During our research into the realms of esoteric matters and while in contact with the “wisdom” of whatever entity my wife happened to be connected with, the name Uranus sometimes came up during questions about both human origins and our destiny. Uranus is the name of one of the planets in our Solar System. It is a big gaseous blue globe, the seventh planet from the Sun, with an atmosphere comprised of mostly hydrogen with some helium and methane mixed in. The winds on the surface blow at velocities of up to 360 miles per hour. Uranus is obviously not a source of human life or a place for humans to flee to if and when we kill the Mother Earth. So why is the name Uranus so significant to the entities existing on the astral plane?

Astral Flying
While there are scoffers, people who accidentally enter the astral for brief periods, usually while near death in a hospital emergency room, swear they are really out of their bodies. They find themselves hovering by a ceiling light fixture, watching the doctors and medical staffers working to bring their bodies back to life. With extensive experimentation we have learned that leaving the body is easier than one might think. Some of us do it all the time.

Ancient Text Describes Space Craft
I remember my attempts at pinning down an adult Bible teacher during a study of the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel some years ago. As an ardent Bible student and former religion writer for a Michigan daily newspaper, I was personally convinced that the writer of Ezekiel was describing the landing of some kind of “fiery” craft from the sky and his strange encounter with the entities that landed it. Encounters with flying craft can be found in other ancient text.

Dealing With The Odd Illusion Of Time
Not long ago I was lamenting to a friend my concern that due to aging the time we were allotted in this world was quickly eroding. Even worse, said I, it appears that the human race also may be rushing toward its own conclusion and that our attempts to stop what is happening seem to have failed. The response received was quite unexpected. The wise recipient of my muse reminded me that time is an illusion. "If it has not happened yet, then there is still time to do something about it," she said.

Lam
Aleister Crowley And The Extraterrestrial
English Psychic/Magickian/Writer Aleister Crowley conducted experiments in 1918 that he claimed led to a face-to-face meeting with an alien that he called “Lam.” Thus Crowley, in addition to all of his other incredible achievements mostly in esoteric matters, became one of the first, if not the first contemporary to make contact and describe the being he believed was an alien from another dimension.

Who And What Are The Ascended Masters?
As the world rushes toward what many fear will be humanities final days on Earth, we hear a lot about ascension. The Christians believe their god-man Jesus will come down in the clouds and “rapture” them, or cause them to ascend into an afterlife with him. The Moslems share a similar belief that a “savior” will soon return to the world. And The Abba Father as well as spiritual masters like Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi teach how to turn on the inner light of our bodies, allow the soul to enter the body, and prepare for an ascension available to all mankind.

Author Claimed Jesus Was A Mushroom
The late author John Marco Allegro stirred serious controversy in the ranks of the Christian church in 1970 when his book, The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross was published. The book, which examined the origins of Christianity based on ancient fertility cults, examined the links to ancient fertility cults and the ingestion of psychedelic plants like Amanita muscaria, peyote and psilocybin in an attempt to “perceive the mind of God.” Allegro pointed to paintings and other art works in the Vatican that depict the ritual ingestion of the red and white Amanita Muscaria as an important component of the Eucharist. As you may imagine, it had everything to do with Santa Claus and Christmas.

Spiritual Significance Of The Winter Solstice
Today is December 21. This day is the Winter Solstice and marks the official start of the winter season for people living in the northern hemisphere. It is the longest day of the year, or Summer Solstice for people living in the southern hemisphere. That is because this is the day the Earth reaches its farthest tilt on its axis, and if all goes as it has for as long as humans have recorded history, it will start tilting back the other way by December 24. In ancient times, the Aboriginal people worried that the Sun, which was sinking lower and lower in the sky and days were getting shorter and shorter, might possibly be going away forever. For them, the Winter Solstice became a very important spiritual experience. Once the days began getting longer and they knew it was coming back, there was cause for celebration. Great stone monuments from that ancient past still stand in place all over the world, marking the importance of this particular day.

Tapping Into The Light Of The Soul
In our past encounters with the Hindu Master Sai Maa and the spiritual entity identified as The Abba Father, we have noticed a common thread in the information received . . . there is a need for humans to learn to tap into a light, or an energy source that has always been within our grasp, and prepare for a major dimensional shift that is soon to occur. The Abba Father says the light has always existed for us but we need instructions on getting it activated so we can be prepared for the change. “Humans contain so much light they are capable of becoming gods,” this entity said. We are instructed to mentally go within, envision opening every cell, and in this way turn on the internal light so that our resonance increases. We will know that we have been successful because we will feel the power like sparks at the tips of our fingers. If you can see auras you will actually see the light coming from your fingertips.

That Strange Friday The Thirteenth Myth
There is a peculiar myth in American culture, and I believe it carries in cultures around the world, that every thirteenth day of the month that falls on a Friday is a very unlucky day. In fact, there is mythology that marks the Number 13 as unlucky, and other tales claim Friday is the unluckiest day of the week. Ships used to delay departures on Fridays and lie over an extra day because sailors thought any vessel that left port on a Friday was doomed to a bad voyage. The reasons for these strange superstitions appear to be varied.

About Death And Extinction
If there is anything we all know, it is that every living thing appears to have a life span, and in the end, there occurs something that we call death. Death is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as the end of life of an organism or cell. "In humans and animals, death is manifested by the permanent cessation of vital organic functions, including the absence of heartbeat, spontaneous breathing and brain activity. " For those of us who have watched a loved-one or pet die, the above description is quite accurate, except for the spiritual part of the death experience. It is a highly emotional experience, one in which the spirit of the individual occupying the body leaves it, never to return. Death is part of the life experience. Most of us don't want to think about it.

Navajo Skinwalkers and Shape Shifters
An article by Clyde Klukhohn involving Navajo witchcraft brought to mind our personal experiences with the Navajo during the winter in 1996 when my wife and I lived with a medicine man and his wife near the Four Corners. Klukhohn notes that the Navajo who practice skinwalking and shape shifting are using a form of black witchcraft that is unique to the Navajo. He said it has no resemblance to the “European variety” of black magic practiced among the witches. This writer lived with a practicing black witch on the Navajo reservation, and afterward lived with a practicing black magician for several years.

That Strange Number 11
Students of numerology have been fascinated by the strange way the number 11 has been playing in world events, especially since 9-11 and the terrorist assault in Madrid on 3-11. There was an interesting piece floating around on the web that originated on the Anomalist site, by Ben Cal. In it, the writer notes that it may be one thing for the terrorists to plan their attacks to occur on significant days. But the number 11 comes up in so many strange ways it gives us the feeling that the events that manipulate our world are beyond our control.

The Star People Living Among Us
Among the interesting myths to be found among the esoteric writings on the web is a story about "Star People," or aliens from other lives and other worlds choosing to visit this planet in human bodies. Is this not a reference to the arrival of the "elders" or the "old ones" as fortold by The Abba Father? For those who have not read the Abba Father dialogues on this site, he has explained that the old ones once lived among humanity as governors and supervisors . . . almost in the role of parents during the early stages of human evolution. Now he says the elders are returning to help us through a great transition. The author of the Crystal Links story suggests that "Star People" arrive in numbers when a cycle of time is about to end and another cycle is about to start. The story supports the Abba Father's revelation. Click For More
