The Post-2012 Post

INTRODUCING THE NEW POST-2012 POST

Well, the fateful date of December 21, 2012 has now come and gone.............. and we are still here.......... isn't that a relief! 

But it is a mixed blessing. 

On the one hand we have not been subjected to a whole panoply of predicted disasters, from pole reversals to supervolcanoes.  However, on the other hand we didn't ascend to a higher level of consciousness, witness the start of a new Golden Age, experience the return of our benevolent space brothers, gain admittance to the Galactic Federation, or achieve global peace and prosperity.

In short, nothing much out of the ordinary, either good or bad,  appeared to happen, which is what Baba, the Korean Zen Master, predicted when I met with him at his temple in 2008.

To those of us who were active around the issues of Y2K it is deja vu all over again. Luckily, for me at least, this time around I didn't buy into the doom-and-gloom scenario and I didn't go overboard on disaster prep.

There are those sources that are saying that some changes did occur on December 21.  They contend that certain subtle energies from outer space impacted the earth and that in the future we will look back on this period as a turning point but there is no way of judging the validity of such sentiments so I will just take a wait-and-see attitude on that.

All of this business of the Mayan prophecy is now behind us but what I am left with is an unabated interest in the various related topics that are mentioned in the masthead above......... such things as remote viewing, First Contact, altered states, and after life communications. 

These are definitely subjects that I would like to address in the future, but for the time being I need to take a break.

Therefore, I am going to put the blog on hiatus, turn my attention to a number of long-neglected projects, and return to the blog............ now newly renamed The Post-2012 Post........ at some later date.

In closing, I would just like to say, aren't we lucky that......   

       THE BARTENDER WAS RIGHT!

 

THE SOURCE FIELD INVESTIGATIONS -- PART TWO

Wilcock presents us with a dazzling smorgasbord of topics and there were several that I found especially intriguing and/or significant.

One is his concept of levity, the opposite of gravity -- no, I'm not kidding, really.  Gravity is a downward force flowing into the earth, and since it doesn't dissipate, there must be a counterbalancing force flowing back up out of the earth.  He calls this force levity.  Interesting, huh?

COSMIC VOYAGE -- PART THREE

In this final post on Cosmic Voyage by Courtney Brown I want to briefly explore some miscellaneous points that I found of interest.

For the most part Remote Viewing (RV) is a passive activity.  The RVer merely goes to a target and reports back what they "see."  However, in some cases they actually interact with entities that they may encounter during the session.  This was the case in a number of Brown's sessions.  For example, in a session focused on the Galactic Federation he reported,

O.K. There are beings in here, lots of them....I get the clear sense that this is some type of council....They do not seem to be aware that I am watching.  They seem to be concerned with matters of state or governance....Uh-oh.  Looks like I was wrong about them not knowing I am here.  I am being given a welcome.

And during another session,

There really are beings here.  These are not human beings....I am being given a welcome.  These beings know that I am here.  They are looking right at me.  I am getting very nervous about this. 

COSMIC VOYAGE -- PART TWO

In the last post we looked at what Courtney Brown had to say about the Martians, in this one we will look at his take on the ubiquitous Greys.

While most accounts of Greys portray them as drone-like and emotionless, there have been some reports in the literature of higher functioning, even wise and compassionate, Greys. 

So it should not come as a surprise that Brown discovered that there are three categories of Greys, which he terms primitive, advanced and superevolved, all of which work with the Galactic Federation.  According to Brown they "...originate from different points in time.  Yet all three populaces are interacting simultaneously here on Earth."

COSMIC VOYAGE -- PART ONE

In an earlier post I discussed Courtney Brown's work on remote viewing (RV) of the year 2012.  Today I would like to take a look at his 1996 book, Cosmic Voyage: A Scientific Discovery of Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth.

I confess to some reservations about the use of the term scientific.  But I guess maybe he has every right to use it, being as how he is a bona fide behavioral scientist (Ph.D. in political science with an emphasis on math modeling; currently an Associate Professor at Emory University). 

Personally I feel he is overreaching....or maybe it is just me putting too narrow a construction on the term.  Granted, he clearly tries to be rigorously objective in his approach, as is true of RV in general, and I have no doubts about his integrity (or the validity of the approach, see my own minor forays in the field) but still.............scientific?

DMT: THE SPIRIT MOLECULE -- PART FOUR

In the previous post we heard what a number of subjects had to say regarding their encounters with other "beings."  It's pretty far out stuff and if you feel most comfortable chalking it up to delusion, hallucination, dreaming, confabulation, mass hysteria or whatever -- please be my guest.

However, I have been immersed in this type of material for 20 years now and cannot so easily dismiss it.  That is in part because strikingly similar and internally consistent reports have appeared with great regularity in the alien abduction literature for quite a while.

THE MONROE INSTITUTE'S GATEWAY VOYAGE PROGRAM

I first heard about Robert Monroe from the ubiquitous Bill Harman during one of his visits with me and my family, circa 1967, in the Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C.  It was the day after Bill met with Monroe for the first time, a bit further south in a far more rural part of the state. 

I don't recall the exact details of our conversation that day but I distinctly remember that Bill had come away from his meeting with a very positive impression of both Monroe and his work.

So in 1971 when Monroe published his first book, Journeys Out of the Body, recounting his extraordinary experiences, I rushed to buy it.  I was not disappointed, and over the years I just as avidly read his subsequent works (Far Journeys and Ultimate Journey).  Therefore, I was intrigued to see that Courtney Brown cited his experience at The Monroe Institute (TMI) as one of the key elements in his preparation to become a Remote Viewer.  (As you may recall, I covered Brown's work on remote viewing 2012 in an earlier post.)

 

REMOTE VIEWING AND 2012

In an earlier post I covered Geoff Stray's take on the remote viewing (RV) of 2012 and in my last post I recounted my own tentative forays into remote viewing.  Now I would like to take a more in-depth look at what light RV might have to shed on the 2012 issue.

As recounted by Stray, Ed Dames, a recognized authority in RV, stated on the Art Bell show in 1997 that RVers were unable to see beyond 2012.  He referred to it as a "discontinuity."  His best guess at that time was that, "...time changes....there is an event that is global, that something happens to the world that makes all the event timelines change."

MY FORAYS INTO REMOTE VIEWING

 Remote Viewing (RV) is a highly structured and "scientific" approach to obtaining information through non-ordinary channels.  A number of books have been written on its history at the Stanford Research Institute  and in the military, and a variety of different private programs have sprung up to train people in its application.  I am not going to try to recap all of this readily available information here because my interest is primarily in seeing what light RV might shed on 2012.

But in this first post I just want to recount my own initial forays into the field.  I must hasten to add that I have never received any formal training and what I refer to as my "forays" were just poorly controlled public demonstrations.  Nevertheless, I think you might find my experiences rather intriguing ..........I know I certainly did!

My first exposure was during a presentation by Simeon Hein and Ron Russell at the 14th Annual International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada in 2005.  They began by describing  their approach to RV, which they termed Resonant Viewing, and then provided us with some general guidance (e.g., how to capture basic impressions, sensory perceptions and dimensional information) after being exposed to an undisclosed "target."

Near the conclusion of the talk they treated the audience to an experiential demonstration using a fairly standard procedure.  They held up a plain sealed manila envelope containing a picture, the "target."  Neither of the presenters knew just which picture was in that particular envelope and it wasn't opened until after the audience had had an opportunity to jot down their reactions.

Here is my response to the first envelope (but don't bother to spend much time on it):

The target turned out to be a picture of a Japanese mountain climber outside a tent on the slope of a snow covered mountain.

Drats!  A very clear miss.

Here is my response to the second envelope (also not worth your effort to decipher):

 

The target was a Central American temple structure.  Another miss; I clearly wasn't faring too well at this point.

Here is my response to the third envelope:

In case you can't decipher my scrawl it says "very heavy, solid, squat, pillbox, bunker, wet, slimy, clammy, salty, old, sits heavy on ground, hills/cliff," and is accompanied by two sketches. 

After Simeon called time for the end of the session (but before he opened the envelope) I jotted down the phrase: "immovable object -- natural or man made?"

And the target was...............drum roll please: 

 

BEYOND 2012 by GEOFF STRAY -- PART TWO

 

This is the second post devoted to my review of Geoff Stray's Beyond 2012 -- Catastrophe or Awakening?  In the previous post I covered a number of topics in which I have varying degrees of interest.  However, in this post I get to delve into areas which are near and dear to my heart....one of which is remote viewing.

 Remote viewing, or RV, is defined as, "...the ability to gather information about a distant or unseen target...." using something other than our usual senses.  It can be thought of as a type of psychic ability but one employed under very strict, "scientific" conditions.  My own experiences with RV have been totally mind boggling and I will describe them at some later point, but right now let's just look at the 2012 aspect according to Stray.
