The Evolution of a Belief 'System'

ALIEN REVELATIONS ...

So. No matter if I'm immersed in the mundane of day to day living, my mind is always thinking, plotting, comparing, conjecturing and analyzing. I can wash dishes while contemplating null physics. [note: I said contemplate, not comprehend]


Sometimes I'm more overwhelmed not by which we know, and how to apply it, but by the simple enormity of what there must exist which we don't know and perhaps never will.


Too many questions, not enough answers. And certainly not enough time to sort through this mess-in-progress.


It amazes not only friends and family, but myself also, if I'm to be quite honest, that I should pen a blog on the paranormal and aliens and life after death, yet remain so objectively skeptical and (so I've been accused) cynical. Devils and demons - what do they matter?! bah ...


Yet, there are worlds undreamt, Horatio ...


Which brings me to a point of absolute honesty in regards to "what I think", this blog and my respected readership. Mind you, the following is a strict matter of my opinion, ONLY ~
With the year 2009 fast approaching its close, this is where I am, right now. Mental attitudes always subject to fresh input, of course. So take it for what it's worth, dust it off, shine it up, use it if you like or shove it under the bed to be devoured by alien dust bunnies. Here ya go:

There is no GREAT GALACTIC BROTHERHOOD (at least in our neck of the celestial woods). There are no ships, no rescuers waiting to 'beam us up'. No ET paramedics hovering by in case we really screw up and blow ourselves to bits.


There are no good guys, bad guys fighting over planet Earth and human soul energy, precious metals, water rights, yada yada yada. Yes, I know. If it's been written once, it's been repeated 10 zillion times on 10 zillion alien blogs ... there are beings both light and dark. Soul wars. Planetary wars. Evil reptilians and benevolent Grays. Or bad AND good gray aliens. Different agendas, programs and desires. Will someone PLEASE (sound of long-suffering sigh) GET.OVER.THE.VS.BIT?

Just because man is given, by a dichotomous brain system, to view all of creation and everything contained therein in terms of right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, left vs. right. Really, now. Even if it makes for dramatic entertainment, can we please dispense with the vs. nonsense? Hmm?
A. It is highly unlikely that the entire cosmos revolves around mankind.
B. It is further unlikely that someone has nothing better to do with their time than to attempt to trick poor, gullible-yet-earnest man into accidentally aligning his soul with the opposing (bad) faction/team.
C. God/Creator/Source does not spend its every conscious moment outmaneuvering the powers of Darkness/Evil, like some spiritual chess match. These are personifications of the forces whose interactions create the friction/energy which, presumably, is necessary to keep the universe in motion. FRICTION. The resultant energy when two diametrically opposed factions meet. We see this in every aspect of life, we live it every day, we are locked into this system of observation by our basic physiology. Now, get over it.
D. Which leaves us with a rather large GRAY area (oh, the irony of it all!) to navigate once we get past the vs. crap. It could be a lot of fun, once we make up our minds not to be chained to brains.


And...
The 'Illuminati' agenda has been thoroughly blown up beyond reasonable proportion. Furthermore, any 'agenda' beyond the rather base human desire for control, power & wealth (which are FINITE rewards) may be so well hidden it will be simply years and years before it's revelation. Should such an agenda exist, most of us living now won't see its fruition. I would sincerely suggest we cease fighting paper dragons and focus our energy on being the best we can be, where we are, with what we've got. Fini.



Additionally, per the above - at one time 'we' railed against a devil, Satan, Samael, who was believed to be the cause, the tempter, the foe, the root of mankind's woe & suffering. A true scapegoat if there ever was one. NOW, its the rich, the powerful, the Illuminati with a capitol I, who are behind the scenes, fueling the war & money machine, the puppeteers making man dance to a tune he's turned a deaf ear to for far long a time.



GROW UP, PEOPLE. No one made our choices for us. WE choose cheap products from overseas - it took too much time to read a label at our busy, big box stores. No one MADE us over extend ourselves financially, no one made us rack up the credit cards. We really didn't care about anything, too much, as long as our desires were met and we were able to live in comfort. Man has had an 'entitlement' attitude for far, far, far TOO long. If we were given enough rope to hang ourselves, most of us couldn't do it fast enough. No one MADE us put the noose around our collective necks. But we did it, anyway, all by ourselves. By our ego-driven desires, our selfish Me First attitude, our rape & pillage of the natural world (btw - so how does it feel to be on the other end of a slaughter house, my friends?) ... WE did it to ourselves.

Sadly, this isn't exactly a cutting edge idea, or a late-breaking news flash. We all already know these things. But the record's gotten stuck in the same ol' groove, playing the same ol' song...

Our basic, pre-programmed animal herd survival instincts are, ironically, the very instincts that pose us the greatest danger in our present state. When there comes a time in which humankind stands impervious to ego driven machination and manipulation, greed, superstition and fear, ME vs THEM thinking, that is the time our demons are rendered powerless, will remove their frightful masks, and we discover - much to our surprise - that they were our friendly saviors all along. Challenging us by whatever means available, in order to lead man beyond the nature of the animal, to a level of first hand experience of what sentient responsibility is really all about.

And from that point ... well, I imagine that is when reality will reveal itself to be something so amazingly incredible it will truly blow our minds! Personally, I can't wait because I'm bored out of my hominid skull by all the current day to day crapola.


Logically, reasonably, mathematically, extraterrestrial life forms exist. Forget the pros and cons regarding the likelihood of whether or not 'they' attend our planet, the problems of space/time, distance, et al. There is a 50/50 chance aliens have, are or will eventually notice Earth. So go with the flow. If you've experienced something strange (like moi), or suspect you've been visited and so forth, figure it out for yourself. Don't contaminate anything so precious with one more idiot's belief system (mine included).


This idiot also suggests we forget UFOs! Again, in my humble opinion, any sighting post-1920 is a huge waste of time. Yet, go TOO far back, and that's another big waste as well. From military test vehicles to mis-identifications, religious and superstitious overlays, one may very well be chasing their own tail in a vicious circle that doesn't really prove anything (although it makes for one dandy research & development distraction) besides, it's more than likely that any truly advanced technically superior space traveling species would have long dispensed with the need for a lumbering, bulky 'physical vehicle' in the first place. So forget the Stealths, the Auroras, the anti-gravity proton driven light-absorbent Star Wars wannabees. Somebody, somewhere, has certainly by now learned to traverse the heavens without the aid of a souped up Chevy truck. I would cast my vote on a technology utilizing Light, in some fashion or another. I mean, it certainly seems reasonable to me.


Crop Circles. This is a hotly debated topic, as well as a fairly lucrative CASH crop on the ol' paranormal circuit. Undoubtedly, most crop circles are real beyond the simple board & string hoaxers. Many are of these latter day crop circles are simply astounding works of complex mathematics set in pictographic form. But, no matter the rapidity by which these circles may manifest in the fields, no matter the complexity of the messages, nor evidence of genetic alterations in the grains, and so forth ... no matter the mysterious lights observed just hours or moments before another enigmatic crop circle is heralded into existence ... CROP CIRCLES are most certainly not the work of ETs (I don't' care how many alien faces are depicted!). SOMEHOW, the deciding coup de grace pro ET perpetrators seems to lay in the notion that (1)since no one is seen in the fields making these things, and (2) SINCE the pictographs are swiftly produced, and (3) SINCE the images are dazzling mathematical/cosmic/geometric works of art (complete with swirls, bends, and genetic alterations) ... the UNDENIABLE CONCLUSION is that these beauties could ONLY be the work of ETs, desperately trying to communicate with man on a large open-work canvas for the viewing pleasure and edification of all!

BS. IN fact, I find it rather depressing that too many gullible, yet otherwise intelligent people should be so quick to assume that 1 & 2 & 3 makes 10. Instead of figuring out how man COULD be producing crop circles, let alone WHY, the populace jumps to the only, obvious (?) conclusion - which is that aliens are the culprit. In my opinion crop circles are very, highly and absolutely most likely created by Earth's own military scientists utilizing microwave laser beam cannons - as both a means of weapons testing, as well as psychological study. Really, it's the most logical conclusion there is. So please don't send me the latest Crop Circle calendar. I'm not that impressed.


Moving on now: Ghosts. Now here's a rather interesting situation. Mankind seems to have been experiencing manifestations for ages. And now, we can even capture some really amazing footage on closed circuit cameras. With our EVPs, as well as some other really fun toys to go a-ghost-hunting with, all kinds of anomalies are getting recorded for examination.

But man is still somewhat in a pickle about the 'afterlife', we just can't pin the dead down to our collective satisfaction, despite our current best efforts, no matter how hard we try. Instead of the existence of ghosts (I really hate that label), the survival of our dead (in some form or other) being a given/known, we are still bumbling about in the dark trying to convince ourselves that mortality is but an illusion.


And here I must concur. Mortality is an illusion, or another step on the ol' existence/energetic ladder, but we've got a few rungs left to climb before we can take the notion of spirits, spooks, ghosts, the afterlife et al out of the belief system debate and render it a known.


Our electronic toys, and future similar gadgetry, will eventually establish irrefutable evidence of such, as well as reveal the modus operandi or physical laws which operate in the soul/ghost/wave state. Then, when this breakthrough occurs, we will, again eventually, learn to cross the two-way communication barrier, until at some Utopian point contacting our beloved dead will be as commonplace as contacting the bloke who lives down the street. Oh, we'll do it, trust me. It's really inevitable, if for no other reason than that our inherent survival instinct drives us to achieve this level of knowledge, because with this knowledge will come a freedom, of sorts, from mortality itself. And AT this future point, man will have put paid to one more dreary 'belief' system weighing him down - because the belief will have become a known. One more shackle broken. And won't that be a jolly relief?!

{If today's posting doesn't read as smooth as usual, it's due to the fact that on Monday I snapped a tendon in my left ring finger, and everything - most especially keyboarding - is a tedious, awkward process. I may have to keep it splinted for as long as 22 weeks. Unless, of course, the gray aliens deign to abduct me and repair it anytime soon. I'd love to see that happen, but won't hold my breath}

Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, Aliens

IF YOU COULD HAVE AN HONEST TO GOODNESS PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE OF YOUR VERY OWN CHOOSING - WHAT WOULD YOU MOST PREFER TO ENCOUNTER?

Would you want to go face to face with a Vampire (forget the goth drama, we're talking about the real, right thing here) hovering at your throat ...

Would you want to awaken in the middle of the night to a spindly, Gray Alien tugging you from the warm, security of your bed ...

Would you want to encounter the lurching, mindless Zombie in the backwoods of a forgotten and abandoned cemetery ...

Would you want to stumble across a genuine witch (of the nefarious variety, of course) complete with broom, familiar and magic spells ...

Would you want to experience a sudden, first-hand view of the transformation from man to wolf, with no weapon to protect you ...

Would you want to experience the hair-raising spectacle of a night spent alone in a rotting mansion populated with the ghosts of the dead...

Or would you choose to encounter something so eerie, so creepy and mind blowing, something no one EXCEPT you in the entire history of mankind has ever, ever previously experienced ... ?

What trips your trigger and why?

Dangerous Ghosts - Caution and Common Sense and The Famous Zombie Word Alert

(Time once again to get serious, resume 'work' and lay further foundation for the next round of paranormal exploration - The Sapient5)

Make no mistake: Whatever, whoever or however ghosts may be, they are real, as such, and sometimes pose a danger to those who chance within their range of interface.

Beyond the mere creation of tulpas/energetic thought forms - ghosts, at least those possessed with a modicum of self awareness and freedom of action, may exhibit envy of the living, confusion as regards their etheric state, and a deeply egotistic need to re-establish their place within the material/physical world.

However, as evidenced by right-brained dominant dream behavior by those of us still 'living', many ghosts may have little to no control in the sense of rational, logical and deductive reasoning skills necessary to successfully 'cope' within their new found plane of existence. They are hampered by the right side of the mirror-state of consciousness, and may require weeks, months, years, eons to fully grasp the mechanics required to operate within the astral (for lack of a better term) realm. When we consider how difficult it is for most of us to conduct ourselves with any degree of logical, left-brained behavior within our nightly dreams, so may the same hold true for humanity's deceased.

This is more important than many of the living realize, for one day they, too, shall walk** within these same etheric shoes and face the same dilemma. It is crucial now, while we are yet alive, that we learn to successfully negotiate the darkened corridors of the mind, how to tame and harness our emotions, and how to correctly recognize/read the metaphoric language of the right brain hemisphere - for we will surely 'flip' sides of the consciousness coin once our last breath has expired. Reality, as experienced by man's current state of consciousness, operates as a mirror device. The yin/yang; the primal dichotomy; the indrawn and outdrawn breath of God.

So then, with a greater understanding of the mechanics of death, and where we will someday find ourselves, what is it that makes a ghost, shade, spook, potentially dangerous to the living? It is precisely this right brain dominated state of operation, for there is less the influence of left brain rationality imposed upon the ego.

Consider the near manic height, the extreme of emotion as occasionally experienced in dreams. If we were to exhibit this degree of raw emotional response on a daily, waking beta state - we would be delusional at best and psychotic at worst. Emotions - in the dream state - are of such an unshackled variety, so raw with anguish, the intensity so unbearable as to render our morning awakenings a relief, an escape if you will. Now imagine that this emotional extreme was your normal, everyday modus operandi ...

That, I believe, is the danger - the inherent difficulty - of interfacing with the Dead, at least some of them. For whatever reason, (aside from the energetic recordings/playbacks and other non-sentient 'ghostly' interfaces), many of humanity's dead simply cannot be properly reasoned with. Literally, they may have truly 'lost' their ability TO reason. They no longer have access to their left brain faculties.

For these beings, the mirror is reversed. What was left becomes right, and so forth.

The solution, if such can be said, would be to gently, persistently stimulate the left brain functions of the deceased, and downplay the sensationalistic, emotion-inducing tactics displayed by the naive, curiosity seeking ghost hunter. Simply put, do not add more fuel to the fire. Do not feed the right brain state of the ghost, keep one's own emotions under tight check, and remain cool/calm.

Personally, I cringe whenever I see or hear about someone taunting or engaging in otherwise provocative behavior when they are trying to 'flush out' a suspected ghost. Such behavior would be deemed disrespectful, rude and aggressive by any living individual, and certainly cannot be appreciated by those who are not. Because, whether living or dead, people are still people - let's remember that from now on.

A final word of caution: in my opinion, the height of folly and irresponsible behavior comes about when we prowl around in sanitariums, prisons, abandoned hospitals and such in our quest for ghosts. These souls were ill/unpredictable/dangerous when alive. Death, with its tendency to flip consciousness, may not have improved matters any.

A little common sense seems to be in order.

Updated 9/3/2009:

I realize that some of my readers may not have a full understanding regarding the mirror state of consciousness in specific, nor the mirror state of reality in general. In all seriousness, I cannot recommend enough that interested individuals (or those who suspect they may have experienced interfaces with the deceased) familiarize themselves with this phenomenon of consciousness.

A truly excellent book on the subject, one of the best known to me and far more elucidating than my postings could ever hope to be, is called The Lost Secret of Death by Peter Novak. In absolute honesty, if one could ever hope to attain a rock-bottom foundation on which to build a sincerely educated understanding of the paranormal field, Mr. Novak's book is a must-have starting point. (as a quick aside, please check out my list of recommended books - there are many worthwhile ones on this list)

Furthermore, should an interested reader wish to validate the mirror state (or Binary Soul Doctrine) for himself, it is a simple matter best accomplished by paying the closest of attentions to any and all details as remembered in one's dreams. Given sufficient recollection, one will then notice/remember many suggestions of 'reversal'. E.g. - if one is short and plump with black hair in 'waking life', one may see themselves as tall, thin and blonde. And so forth.

Whether or not this yin/yang mirror phenonema is indicative of the true workings of reality, or simply how man's consciousness experiences reality, is a matter of debate (and a subject of no little import, in my opinion). I could go on, but I'll save this one for later postings ~

** Zombie Word Alert: While most humans can easily discern in advance an approaching zombie by his stiff, erratic gate, and thus seek a proper zombie-reinforced shelter or simply run like heck, behavioral scientists have recently noted a rather unfortunate similarity between the 'zombie walk' and pop-music enthusiasts clumsy rendition of 'walk like an Egyptian' dance moves. This mis-identification has led to several avoidable mishaps with shotguns, and as such, has led to a bill currently under consideration in Congress to ban dances such as The Funky Chicken, Egyptian Dance, The Frug, The Swim, and may go so far as to include The Mosh. Please write your local congressperson to protect your rights to simulate the Undead, as proposed under Article 1221-457 of the Anti-Zombie Act of 1997. Thank you.

Paranormal Potluck and the Famous Zombie Word Alert

Or: How to Annoy Just About Everybody on the Other Side

I don't know why my mind works the way it does. Honestly. If I hadn't been so blasted sick these last few weeks, with one silly thing after another, we'd already be pineal deep in ghosts and aliens, and especially the shaping, making and dissection of a theoretical entity I've dubbed, at least for the moment, Sapient5 (beyond the Gray Aliens, you know) (Way beyond...)

Instead, I am sitting here scabbed over from 3 weeks of poison ivy. Despite my ego's insistence that I am an evolved and higher-minded 'old soul' - - - all that is apparently a LIE because, as I am sitting here typing these words, I am first and foremost an itchy and ill-tempered monkey and I want to feel better ASAP so I can get back to the things I.WANT.TO.DO.


Oh, ... I almost forgot ... I just turned 52 (both my bust and uterus are in a race to see which one can fall the fastest) so I'm also feeling the age thing this week. AND my favorite mouse has mysteriously shot craps; the one I've replaced it with is suspiciously contrary, roams, jumps text, and (it seems plausible) - is possessed by Satan.

So maybe it's the fever, or the fact that I seem to have a surfeit of ghosts/dead friends/relatives popping in and out of my dreams lately like paranormal popcorn ... but as my mind's a funny little thing and not always prone to high-minded matters ...

I thought it might be amusing to take a lighter look at Gray Aliens, ghoulies and goblins.
Why must we be so depressingly serious all the time anyway?

God, we love our drama! Someone is always trying to trick us, deceive us, use and abuse us. Enslave us. TPTB. A One World Order. We are always at the heart of some nefarious plot or other. The entire universe, astral plane, heaven and hell, et al ad nausea revolves (how apt) around mankind.

Sure it does.

We are high frequencied, 12-stranded DNA with some shut off, powered-down, forgetful and forgotten godlings who must - surprise surprise - resist the negative influences of our Earthly abode to enter into the 4th and 5th dimensional realms that call beyond the veil superimposed on humanity's awareness.

Whatever.

Mind you, I'm not stating that the above isn't true. It's just so 'old school'. So here's some new school stuff to kick around:

Think your home is haunted? By a real, sentient, self-aware entity/dead person? Not a self-generated poltergeist or energetic replay, but an honest to goodness ghost? Make up a few signs that read YOU ARE DEAD/THE YEAR IS NOW 2009/YOU MISSED THE LIGHT/etc etc and leave these around your home (you might want to put these away when company is expected).

Furthermore - due to the mirror effect of consciousness - letter these signs in the mirror/backwards fashion so they may be easily understood by the deceased. AND - if you don't feel like a complete fruit cake** doing this - rather than ordering your ghostly guest to begone - you might try communicating in this manner, at least for a couple of experimental shots just to see what happens. For example, invite your ghost to a game of chess, to watch a movie with you, enjoy a book reading and so forth. But do keep in mind that they are now the opposite of YOU - you are particle, they are wave. You are left brained, they are right. And so forth. Just play around and see what happens.

Or don't. It's your call, not mine.

More fun and frolic - want to test The Powers That Be? Want to see just how far you are or are NOT empowered? Okay then. Become neutral. Stop spewing your angst and energy all over heck and back like a firehose run amok. Do not emotionally react (to the news, to the alerts, to the economy, to the foreclosures, etc etc). Own your own energy. Don't picket, don't protest. Also, quit buying crap you don't need. Downsize from the 1,800 ft. home with three TVs that you don't need in the first place, and can no longer afford. Instead of whining and wailing, take a long walk. Do a little thinking. Come home and put your crap on eBay, host a neighborhood yard sale, buy a sack of flour and packet of yeast and learn how to bake your own bread. Quit surfing the Internet for things you don't need and can't afford. Walk to work. Use your head and save your heart. Clean up your own backyard before attempting to clean up the world. Mind your place. I know I get preachy, but really, it's all common sense. We just get so worked up over things seemingly beyond our control, we forget the basics.

Speaking of basics. You do understand how energetic focus actually works, I presume? It doesn't matter if the belief clothing is voodoo, hoodoo, Christianity, satanism, etc. All that is window dressing. Applied conscientious focus/directed energy is the key - in an Alpha brain wave state usually induced by monotone, ritual, candles, chant, and so forth. All else is minutia, when one gets right down to basics. Just like 'gravity' doesn't particularly 'care' if it's used for good or ill, the same applies to other energetic forces across the board. Energy is amoral.

And as such, it's fun to play with. And there is nothing disrespectful, sacrilegious or otherwise about it. The good/bad lays in how a person directs energy, that's all. An apple isn't bad, but if I chuck one at somebody's head and maybe do them an injury - that is bad. Capeesh? So I wonder what it would be like to take a slinky, or a tin can, or maybe a wad of chewing gum with a plastic flower jammed in the center, and direct my attention there?

Start looking for aliens and angels, look hard, and you'll begin to see them everywhere.

This is what reality does when it is impressed by consciousness. The harder/deeper/frequent the impression - the faster the result. For every action there is an equal/opposite RE-action. Remember this always.

Don't take your tulpas so seriously. Invite a ghost to dinner. Buy a toy babydoll and leave it for the aliens to 'abduct'. Put a glass of V8 on the nightstand for thirsty vampires. Plan a nice, quiet romantic evening with an Angel (remember, they do have a thing for the daughters of man - or so it was said). Play chess with a ouija board. ( I don't know why, but this just popped into my mind - has anyone ever thrown things BACK at a poltergeist??? )

Life, when we remember to be at peace with death, becomes just too, too funny.
Gentle play never hurt anyone ~

**Zombie Word Alert: No matter how well intentioned, it is never a good idea to give a zombie a fruit cake! Even if it's Christmas Eve, you're out of cash, the stores are closed, and Aunt Emma's lastest batch of holiday fruit cakes are buckling the kitchen counter. NEVER give a zombie a fruit cake. It is better to look like the cheapskate, low-life, self-centered puny human that you are, than to give one of the living dead something that could well turn out to be a deadly weapon used to smash your tasty brains out! God help us all if zombies should ever learn to cook...

Ghosts of gray aliens and ETs AND the Famous Zombie Word Alert

When most of us think in terms of ghosts, spirits, spooks, the undead, as well as the 'afterlife', quite naturally we consider these non-physical entities as having an earthly origin. We wonder about our own dead, but what about the dead of any one of the countless non-earthly civilizations that have been statistically shown likely to exist?

After all, the known universe is inconceivably vast. So while it is not only plausible but also probable that other intelligent physical beings exist, so would it be equally probable that, for many of these, physical life would not be infinite - and thus terminate in biological 'death' in much the same way as is experienced upon our own planet.

With that said, consider now the possibility of actual life after physical death. After all, we intellectually understand the concept that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but instead changes form according to conditions. Besides the usual visions and dreams, current advances in our tech toys are opening up glimpses of what may eventually lead us to irrefutable proof for the continuation of the human soul mind, the energetic being, and establish once and for all that Dear Grandmama** has not only survived physical death and continues to exist in a form beyond that of dense matter, but that a two-way exchange of information between both the living and the dead can be technically achieved, becoming as commonplace as a two-way conversation between friends in the US and Europe. Believe me, this is not at all as preposterous as it initially sounds!

Furthermore, what about the 'dead' of non-earthly origin? If we have reason to suspect that our own deceased survive death in some type of 'form', then wouldn't it be just as logical to suspect that the dead of similar extraterrestrial entities may survive as well? And if so, are some of these beings the inhabitants of the astral plane or astral 'wildlife' as described by numerous out of body explorers? I imagine, sanely and sincerely, that the universe literally abounds with such entities, because - after all, where else is there for them to go?

And would we recognize the ghosts of aliens, insofar as we have a difficult time recognizing that of our own dearly departed? Furthermore, there is simply no way to guesstimate as to what motives, desires, drives, awareness quotient or anything else these 'ghosts' might still possess. Man is still in the preliminary stage of breaking down the veil between our own heaven and earth, let alone that of a diverse species. But that doesn't mean these diverse species do not exist. The problem is that we are unlikely to recognize them as such.

Just how likely is it then, that ghosts (of human or alien persuasion,etc) exist in the first place? How would you begin to reasonable examine this concept? I believe there is just as good a likelihood as of anything else.

[Let me put this another way. Not necessarily a better way, but just to give you an idea of how I like to analyse any given concept. It's simple, easy, and while not likely to win a Nobel award, it cuts through a lot of the chase. So while it's no big deal, here is what I like to call the 50/50 method, or 'the all things being equal' rule of thumb - where there is no predetermined bias against any potential outcome:

1) In universal time (the entire potato) - or infinite time (which must be the true state of affairs since energy cannot be created or destroyed, hence there is no actual linear beginning or end) ... all potentials must and will be expressed. There exist no bias, no slant favoring one probability over another. All things share an equal foundation, with A being equal to B.

2) Therefore, and now in the physical/linear expression (or man's conscious experience of finite time) within the forward moving arrow of time, there exists the equation the 50/50 rule, wherein an event either manifests or it does not. Again, this rule only applies to a finite universe under conditions of a single expression - as opposed to a continuous series of energetic expansions and contractions of unknown source which manifests as multi-verses (and God knows what else).

3) Under this 50/50 rule, we may then break down the likelihood of any specific occurrence. Admittedly, it's a lot simpler than chaos theory, but I think the end result would be similar, because any unknown variable would ultimately be accounted for under this breakdown.

e.g. - ghosts) Under the dichotomous rule of 50/50, ghosts either exist or they do not. So we have a 50 percent likelihood that ghosts do indeed exist. If ghosts do indeed exist, they either are or are not able to contact the living (notice, I did not say DO contact the living, I said ABLE to contact - I may be ABLE to contact my old school chums in Florida, but whether I choose to DO so or not is an entirely different matter and statistical breakdown). So far we now have a 25% likelihood that ghosts ARE ABLE to contact the living. Well, you get the idea.

While not perfect by any means, it's a good overall rule of thumb - at least when operating under the illusion of time and finite expression. Actually, I don't really think reality is dichotomous at all (50/50), but I do think it allows for ultimate expression within infinite time (yes, I know this sounds a lot like the 100 monkeys eventually writing Shakespeare thing).]

Anyway, now that you better understand a new way or my way of looking at things, let's return back to the original topic under discussion which is the possibility of the existance of non-terrestrial ghosts. We do have to admit that, whatever the gray aliens are or are not, they have been reported being seen in the company of the human dead. And whatever or not death actually turns out to be (a transmutation of the energetic being perhaps?), it's unlikely, I think, that the Land of the Dead should be strictly limited to Earthly inhabitants.

Especially if it is just one more state of conscious energy. Instead of a black or white, here or there type of thing, there may be a series of such states of existence, with our so-called living, physical embodiment being merely one of many.

It is possible then, again - at least as far as the Gray Aliens are concerned - that what we encounter in our twilight interfaces with these creatures, is the non-physical or more ethereal state of a species that has exited the perimeters of 3-D, physical embodiment as we yet experience it. We are so geared to a mind-set that automatically puts the aliens on a par with our own physical energetic niche (hence the conundrum over whether or not the Grays are REAL - in our terms) - that we fail to take into account the possibility that they are 'ghosts', of a sort, though far more capable and able to function/manipulate within this state than that of our own dead. After all, how is it then that the gray aliens are able to know us before and after life, to interact within our dreams, to accompany our human dead, and to conduct experiments upon our energetic (astral) bodies (and to do this successfully enough to imprint our energetic template in such a way that it physically marks our more solid, three-dimensional structure)?

I guess what may need to be reconsidered here is man's concept of death in the first place. And how death and life may interact, intertwine, interpenetrate with one another. Life (or Death) may prove far more complex than a simple exchange from particle to wave.

Is it possible then, that what we know of as 'the grays', are really a deceased/non-'living' species that, due to their specific brain structure, can successfully operate within this astral region, and to such a degree that they can interface with the more solid 'living' at will. If so, do they seek another shot at physical embodiment? (Recall, if you will, the Angels of lore were said to be jealous of Man, and to envy him his physical form).

And this would not be so simple a thing as our superstitious concept of 'possession'. Rather, it might be an incredibly long and ardous series of experiments possibly geared toward the gradual attainment of increasingly solid form with the ability to physically reproduce ... OR the transfer of conscious awareness into a viable physical vehicle.

Maybe other entities, including the gray aliens, already know a great deal more about things Man has yet to discover. All things being equal, that is.

** Zombie Word Alert: When alive, Grandmama wasn't exactly a bread 'n butter pickle to get along with in the first place, and death has not improved her querulous disposition one iota. What, you may rightly ask, is the considerate grandson to do with a mouldy, ill-tempered relative who is not only eager and willing to gobble his gizzard at a moment's notice, but is embarrassingly voluble about his taste in dates (most of whom Grandmama refers to as 'those tramps') - especially Juanita Fajita with her spandex skirts and stilletto heels?! And matters are certainly not improved with Grandmama's tendency to casually pass gass and scatter rotting body parts all over the family room sofa. How, you earnestly inquire, can a long suffering grandson avoid the guilt of hurting Grandmama's feelings and still keep peace when Juanita or her twin sister, Jolita, drop by the house?
Honestly, we have no idea, but give you a high five on the twin thing.

** Zombie Word Alert: Nobody, but nobody, enjoys a night of bar hopping more than your average zombie! When it comes to cutting loose (often with their bare hands), these fun-lovin' party animals can drink most of us under the table, then party on till the wee hours of early morn, lurching from one 'after hours' to another! It is no small coincidence that someone named the famous 'Zombie' drink after these wild & crazy guys! (although their favorite drink really is the Bloody Mary).

Gray Aliens, Reptilians and Ghosts By Our Side

Abandon hope of privacy, all ye who live and breathe!

How many of us are aware that the very tools upon which we depend, our five senses et al., are as limited and lacking in their ability to present an accurate picture of reality as that of our dichotomous mind? Yet, it is by the use of these senses that we define reality and respond accordingly.

Take the human eye, for just one example. Visual information received via the optic nerve doesn't travel directly to the visual cortex, but is first filtered through other areas of the brain. This visual information is edited by our temporal lobes, and some studies are suggestive that less than 50% of what we 'see' is actually based on the information that initially came to us. Furthermore, the human eye contains a 'blind spot', in the center of the retina where the optic nerve connects, where there are no photoreceptors. Our brains continually 'fill in' this gaping hole in our vision, and it is done with such skill and rapidity, that we never know it exists.
More interestingly yet, if we laid out the entire known wave spectrum, from infrared to ultraviolet, and set this atop a yardstick, the human eye is only able to detect roughly an inch or so! What is it might we be missing?

Well, a few specifics certainly come to mind. Everything, as far as we've discovered, consists of frequency, vibrations. In the beginning was the Word (sound/frequency). And, to acknowledge the existence of frequencies beyond the sensory level of human awareness (those other 35 inches), also reasonably suggests the presence of lifeforms in operation at those other levels.

I think this is where our optical toys (digital and surveillance cameras, for example) come into play. They can catch what moves/vibrates too quickly for the human eye to see. And as our technology in this area advances, so may we then peer into previously non-discerned realms of existence. Our aural senses are another area for enhancement, thus the alleged success in capturing the voice/thoughts of the dead, reverse speech and other paranormal anomalies on audio tape. It's not unlikely that man will, at least technically, batter down the illusory wall between Here and There. And in the not so distant future, no less.

So. With that said and should the above occur, then we may be left thoroughly stripped of any notions of privacy, for undoubtedly privacy is no more than a state of 'awareness'. Which is where I speculate that ghosts, aliens, reptilians, energy parasites, and more besides may dwell. In those frequency states just outside our awareness.

And, inevitably as night follows day - when the time does come that each of us may expose these energetic beings to our senses, so in turn will we then commence to work out a means/tool/toy by which we may communicate with them at will. And this is where, as long predicted, the illusory wall between life and death will surely fall. Because man's curiosity, his very nature to explore, discover and interface first-hand, will have its way. Someday we will have access to 'heaven' as readily as we have access to Hawaii. Thomas A. Edison was rumored to have worked on a machine to talk with the dead, though this was later declared a prank by Edison. But if not he, someone, somewhere and somewhen, will manage a way to do it. You can bet your bananas on it!

The Grays and Self Hypnosis

DO SELF HYPNOSIS CDs ENCOURAGE ALIEN ABDUCTION?

With all the hypnotic tapes, dvds, cds and books available, I am surprised more people have not utilized these methods to explore their inner space. Not everyone, it seems, has the desire to root about in the basement of their minds, but for myself - hypnosis was a valuable tool which aided me in many areas of my life, including pain management and the ability to experience lucid dreams.

On the downside, my psychic abilities became greatly enhanced, or I had stimulated otherwise dormant areas of the brain, and, as I once heard said by a famous medium ... "in the early stages of training, you really pay your dues".

Believe me, I paid dearly. Not to be smug or self-congratulatory, but I think a weaker ego might have splintered under the chaos of the psychic manifestations I began experiencing. And this is no exaggeration! Self hypnosis and psychic development are most certainly not for everyone. One of the most frightening ordeals I experienced was an ever acceleration of energy spiralling out of control. I dreamed myself spinning out of control, head over feet, and was powerless to control the hurricane I'd unleashed.

Thank God (believe me, I prayed and fretted and pulled back only to feel impelled to resume the course) I ended up emotionally and mentally sound. Thank God I am one of the few people who are very balanced in the fact that I am neither left nor right brain dominate, or so testing has shown. While blessed with artistic and creative abilities, I am also firmly left brained and gifted in analytical prowess. Had my biology been somewhat different, things could easily have become unpleasant.

So it is with absolute caution and sincere concern that I recommend forays into self hypnosis and lucid dream experimentation for anyone reading my blog. If you are an easily excitable or gullible person, if you have deep emotional traumas or a tendency towards multiple personality disorder, these forays are not for you. What you do is your responsibility, not mine. But I care about my readers and would not deliberately encourage harmful behavior. So please walk slowly and carefully as best suits you, and always bear in mind that one of the first hurdles of psychic exploration is the confrontation with your shadow self. Scary stuff, my friends.

Now, on to my adventures. In the early stages of hypnosis, I was primarily using tapes to help manage back and urological pain. I had to undergo a series of unpleasant catheterizations and the use of self-hypnosis enabled me to focus my mind away from the body, and minimized the discomfort. However, at the same time, due to puzzling experiences throughout my life and my physical limitations at the time, I decided to explore the mind since there seemed little I could enjoy physically.

Over a period of roughly four years, I learned how to successfully use the pendulum, the spirit board, mind silence, and... contact with something. Whether subjective or objective (my belief is that a blend of both occurs as water cannot flow through a creek without picking up the silt along the bottom lol), these experiences grew in strength and frequency. It became difficult to turn them off!

I think that scared me the most. I felt powerless before my own mind's abilities. I was driving my car too fast, and couldn't find the brake. And I was terrified of hurtling over a mental cliff.

And though looking back later I soon realized that the gray alien presence had been present in my life since early childhood, the manifestation of The Grays certainly picked up steam. I remember seeing three of them standing at the foot of my bed one night, and shrieking, terrified in my head, NO NO NO!!! Odd, because not only did I not credit the grays with any objective actuality, but I was more curious by far, than fearful.

But the more I used the self hypnosis tapes and dvds, the more easily I slipped into the hypnotic state - alert, aware, very relaxed and mentally open to whatever or whomever happened to show up. My family would occasionally experience ghostly apparitions, events such as doors opening and closing, figures in mirrors and toes tugged in the middle of the night. Had my own psychic energy created these events? Or had I unwittingly opened a door and maybe exposed my loved ones to harmful entities? Oh, I prayed like you wouldn't believe, and worried equally.

More than once did I pull into our driveway (sometimes this was stronger when the house lay empty with family elsewhere and I was alone), and before I had the car in the garage, I could 'feel' the tingling energetic awareness that something inside awaited me. Sometimes, this 'energy' would wash over me in a tidal wave, similar to Kundalini. Was this my chakras opening? Or lucid dream intrusion? Ghosts?

Okay, so this kind of thing went on for a while. And I pondered all the while, too. I did not intend to let fear or superstition get the better of me, nor dogma or belief systems. Good, bad or indifferent - this was a valuable learning experience and I wasn't planning on trashing my hypnotic tapes anytime soon.

In brief, here are some more events I underwent. One evening I sat alone in my room and just let my hand go over and over the spirit board (I had a very large, heavy round one that I used), eventually I got bored because no marvelous revelations (lol) were coming through, but I stuck with it and proceeded to think of other things, my day at work, etc but I suddenly noticed that my hand was leaving tracers , like static electricity, in its wake - and this was fully visible in a fully lit room!

Another time, I awoke to see at the end of my bed an immense swirling mirror like vortex and suddenly my consciousness was all over the place. I was asleep in bed, I was out of body straining to flee my room and repeatedly felt my real self 'snap' back into my body, I was awake and gazing at the vortex, I was taking the hand someone (self?) had thrust from out the vortex, I was conversing with someone who chastised me to 'help myself' and furthermore, I was engulfed with a wave of ecstatic energy!

I also had 'thought balls' thrust into my consciousness, concepts and ideas I had to somehow unravel. I learned to understand the mirror effect and the metaphoric language of the mind, and how to read between the shadow lines. My fears rose up to meet me, in fact I think most emotions were confronted in one way or another. I learned to laugh at my own manipulations and grow in the process. I learned how deep lay the abyss of human guilt, shame and self-loathing. And I tried to learn how to love myself and others, and at the end of this period of trial by fire, I honestly believe I emerged a gentler, more compassionate and less judgemental human being.

Or maybe that is all nonsense, who knows? I do know that while practicing self-hypnosis I became able to induce a physical heaviness and lethargy that at times was both sensual and terrifying. On rare occasion I saw living color, or colored sound - a thrilling vision of the most beautiful column of gently singing fuschia which, I swear this is true, my dog was also staring at.

And the lucid dreams and hypnogogics increased hand over fist! I would find myself as nothing more or less than a field of vision completely devoid of identity or sense of self (left brain awareness?), floating about my home and seeing the minutest object in magnified, clarified detail. The more I used hypnosis, the more these things happened.

However, the Grays also came more frequently, as did the dreams. I gave birth to unknown children and would awaken mumbling "I love you baby no 3", I also saw myself somewhere, somehow, many times this happened - finding myself in a strange and sterile environment, accompanied by a tall, misty figure and suddenly remembering previous birthings and being shown a linear series of my 'familial ancestors' or my bloodline or possibly even incarnations, I do not know. But I would think to myself - 'ah, I remember this!'

Bear in mind that while it became undeniable that whatever the gray aliens are or are not, I had nonetheless never been interested in the phenomena even though hindsight revealed I had long been a part of this enigma. I was not 'seeking' alien abduction or Grays in the night! If anything, my focus was perhaps more on reincarnation and hypnosis, meditation, possibly spirit contact is such a thing were more than ESP or imagination. Yet, there they were! And I kept right on reading, learning and using those hypnotic tapes, cds and books.

Furthermore, I was not at all familiar with alien abduction or benchmarks of the experience. When I 'lost' three hours of time, sitting there with an unlit cigarette and curled up Indian-style in the middle of my bed (I have spinal arthritis and this position would have quickly become very uncomfortable to me), I remember glancing at the clock with total and absolute confusion as to where 2.45 hours had gone? The last thing I remembered was preparing to light a cigarette.

And of course, coincidentally or stigmatically or otherwise, I had an increase of these benchmarks! Bruises, knowing, informational thought balls and a sense of presence, gynecological problems, an increasing fear of doctors and anything medically related, fascination with physics, astronomy, neurology and science in general. Human ethics, morality and an ever increasing development of compassion for all forms of life. I began feeding and caring for strays, and rescuing spiders, and handling plants with care.

Its a new world, if you can take it! I believe a Gray told that to Whitley Strieber, if memory serves. And so it was.

Yet, I continued to remain well grounded in the here and now. This is crucial, to be able to maintain a solid footing in not one, but two worlds - or mindscapes. Somehow, the self-hypnosis tapes and dream books and meditation techniques helped open a door that, while not necessarily shut, was now wide open. That's when I became aware of the strangers waiting on the other side: the Grays.
