Occurrences involved in my 'paranormal initiation' include working as a movie publicity writer for the Paramount studio in Hollywood, two hillside interludes of inexplicably burning bushes and a research edition to interview a family experiencing 'talking poltergeist' phenomena in Oklahoma. As with the other recent blog post sharing career reflections, this article includes some unpublished remembrances from the first draft of my autobiography My Unexpected Path of Spiritual Discovery.
It has been a simple truth that the evidence for transcendental communication and other 'paranormal' aspects of life shared in 675+ articles at this blog to-date seem to generate little more than mild interest among readers who've long been conditioned to react in a passive way to life experiences while regularly focusing their attention on entertainment as a traditional cultural pastime. The shared Source of All Life can be learned about in the diverse ways chronicled in blog articles, potentially leading to 'paranormal initiation,' regardless of the mystification that is often reflected in 'paranormal' topics among mainstream commercial media outlets. This sad social conditioning/corporate thinking reflects metaphysically and spiritually ignorant assumed imperatives, as I've repeatedly reminded to help individuals find ways to transcend their sad relationship to 'All That Is' (another common phrase signifying 'The God Force'). If this blogger can overcome the mental programming of having one's attention diverted by the entertainment popular culture, so can everyone. Since I stopped watching television shows in 1995, my involvements were in more useful life experiences.
Interacting with the Divine Mind/Infinite Oneness is something occurring with each living thing whether this is something realized or not by each 'iota' or 'unit' of 'the Holy Spirit'. Considering an individual developing one's perspective of metaphysical aspects of life including 'paranormal phenomena,' one pertinent realization is that contemporary followers of ancient religious scriptures don't have access to actual autobiographical texts unquestionably written by the people who today are known by the venerated individual names associated with 'The God Force' in formal religious traditions, among them Krishna, Buddha and Jesus. My contemporary reporting about interaction with the 'God Force' has seemed at times to be something immediately dismissed by readers who judge this as inconceivable simply for not conforming with usual social consciousness orientations — regardless of myself having shared in a journalistic manner precise details of my experiences for more than 25 years. The gamut of articles at this blog are all evidence of how my consciousness has expanded through with the interaction with a limitless omnipresent Superconscious Force and reporting about my experiences and research as a noncommercial metaphysical author and blogger. One example article is "Reflections and Images - Deciphering Angelic Initiation".
What is documented is a situation where a 'Message bringer,' surrogate/'everyman' or 'pattern demonstrator' is doing what anyone would feel compelled to do upon finding oneself as a 'chosen one' of the omnipresent 'Message Giver.' The social consciousness of the news media today is exemplified by the assorted headlines shown daily at news websites and newspaper front pages of the mainstream commercial news media. (article) Beyond all the incessant political and pro-war news, journalists seem to exploit entertainment and celebrity coverage for readers/consumers accustomed to reacting to mainstream news and entertainment media with a sensibility devoid of the knowledge that metaphysical and spiritual self-development is an essential purpose for one's Earth life experience.
The materialist mindset now seems traditional among journalists after many decades of suppressed and misreported information about 'Divine Dispensations' including Spiritualism manifestations, trance mediumship/channeling, Direct Voice communication, contactee reports about space people, Instrumental Transcommunication and spiritual healing. The denial of The God Force is due to materialist rationales motivated by social consciousness fears involving 'information conflicting with perceived consensus beliefs engenders expectation of disapproval.'
Dealing with undeniable evidence such as Direct Voice Phenomena recordings, someone simply dismissing all the evidence reveals that a mental state of denial; the knowledgeable reader of case studies of transcendental communication has learned instead to contemplate what perspective and meaning allows the documented activity to be true. Two articles offering links to evidentiary Direct Voice recording are "Tapping the Force: Leslie Flint Recordings and Links" and "Metaphysical Lessons of the Leslie Flint 'Direct Voice' Recordings".
Despite my unique circumstances as a human being, I've never found it difficult to socialize with other people whose metaphysical awareness is less developed than my own. After becoming a metaphysical author in 1997, I eventually worked for 17 years as an office technician for the local school district. My main occupation during this period was working in support of Special Education services. One realization is that most human beings are at intellectual and moral disadvantages due to the inability to find the information—as this blog makes available—that would allow them to achieve understanding and enlightenment relating to 'Divine Dispensations' of 'The God Force' throughout recorded human history.
After the summer of 1995 when my 'paranormal initiation' suddenly accelerated as chronicled in my case study book — Testament (noncommercial online edition), I wondered 'Could there be other people such as myself who were conscious about an angelic Force having begun to interact around oneself through a multitude of circumstances, including such circumstances as synchronicity and my having witnessed patterns of thoughts and words casually spoken by acquaintances as spontaneous expressions of each's personal identity?'
If there were or are other people who experienced a paranormal initiation such as mine that suddenly gained momentum when I was age 39, I’ve never heard or read about them other than perhaps the fragmentary record of the socially prominent 'Jesus of Nazareth' chronology presented in the King James Bible. There was no hesitation to devoting myself to unambiguously sharing with others all the details of my experiences and I didn’t think twice about using my savings to finance the interim needed for writing the case study book. I knew the book could only be appreciated by anyone who should accept the opportunity to read it without potentially allowing negative social consciousness assumptions to keep them from investigating further. Engaging in these activities was my own way of expressing love to the Source of All Life through striving to help other people and reminding them that humans should be engaged in improving the Earth's environmental conditions instead of allowing military indoctrination to guide worldwide bureaucracies.
In 1997 after the publication of Testament and a follow-up sequel book exclusively available online that make available hundreds of documentary-style transcripts of my unexpurgated interviews, thoughts and daily conversations, I began researching other paranormal case study books to discover what more could be learned and discern what correlations could be found between the events and those that have occurred in my own life. Testament documents my spontaneous reactions to the bizarre and unique paranormal occurrences that developed. Since 2009 the book and sequel have been followed by blog articles showing successive perspectives to be gained and developed after years of introspection.
Now that I'm 66 years old and dealing with a disabling health condition that doctors haven't been able to remedy, it's easy to see that 'mind over matter' philosophical perspectives are comforts only for the comparatively young and vigorous. I'm reminded about some key lessons about life —
It just is.
Everything is relative.
Earth life is a transitory state of existence.
Innate human creativity and trance channeling/'total takeover' channeling are both states of consciousness involved with our shared Highest Self/selves in the state of omnipresent spiritual Oneness.
Some important reasons for your Earth life are learning about who you are in relationship to other people, life forms and 'The God Force.'
In a book of remembrances about my father compiled by my aunt Esther, she contributed an article that included a description of her twin sister Dorothy’s recovery from ulcerous colitis when they were in their early 20s.
She became bedridden and mother could not take care of her needs. She agreed to be admitted to a hospital that friends of the family had recommended. She was able to walk into the hospital for admittance but, after a couple of weeks in the hospital, she no longer could walk nor even sit up in bed. The physicians and specialists agreed she needed an operation to remove her colon and her womb. They also thought she was too weak to survive the operation. They wanted mother to sign consent papers to release the hospital of all responsibility. Mother did not want to authorize the operation nor sign the consent papers. At that time Dorothy requested and wanted to go home. That evening our next-door neighbor came over to inquire about “the twins,” as she had not seen us recently. Mother broke down in tears while explaining Dorothy’s condition. Our neighbor immediately gave mother the name of a Christian Science Practitioner who had been a Wartime Minister and was in the profession of Christian Science healing. (We had been attending church services and studying Christian Science.) Mother called this Practitioner and he immediately began prayerful support about the situation.
She was taken by ambulance to a rest facility, and later that same day was admitted to Broadview, a Christian Science sanatorium in South Pasadena. In a couple of weeks, Dorothy walked out of Broadview healed. A few weeks later, she regained her weight.
(Dorothy later married and had a little girl and 14 months later a boy and a girl — a testament to her wonderful healing.)
My research into psychic healing acquainted me with the National Spiritualist Association of Churches and I found the Association’s website at https://nsac.org/what-we-believe/healing/. This is the NSAC “Prayer for Spiritual Healing.”
I ask the great unseen healing force
To remove all obstructions from my mind and body
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.
I ask this great unseen healing force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust in the love and power of God.
This philosophy is true in some general ways and these are ideals. There are specific causes and conditions for illness, disease and disability. Renowned spiritual healing facilitators will plainly state that they aren't able to help everyone. In my own situation, when a sudden health crisis occurred seven years ago doctors couldn't determine the cause and their best estimation was that some unknown virus had infected me. I was left with severe IBS conditions that more recently was followed by a variety of other complications. I do my best each day as I attempt to live as healthfully as possible. I remain hopeful about life because I remain convinced that God Is Love and the Power of Good is stronger than the Power of Evil.
As an example of transcendental communication (authentic though provoking a response of exasperation from many people), the following is the perspective of a 'channeled entity' in relation to themselves and human health. These quotations are from Lazaris Interviews, Book I (1998).
First of all, we are not physical, nor have we ever been, though many have asked us where our lifetimes were, or when we were on the planet, suggesting we must have been in Atlantis or Lemuria before. But the answer, always the same is: "No, we have not been physical." We have not been on your Physical Plane at any time of its history — nor, for that matter, on any other planet or system that supports physical life."
We suggest that 100% of illness is emotionally induced. It's no less devastating. We're not saying everybody's a hypocondriac. We didn't say that at all. Every disease has its emotional origin, even if it's a past lifetime emotional origin that you are choosing in this lifetime to deal with (not that you have to, not that anybody's twisting your arm or making you). There is an emotional causation in this lifetime that is causing you to reach into that past and drag that "other-life" influence here. One hundred percent of all illness is emotionally induced.
Added to that are the beliefs, the attitudes, the thoughts and feelings, the choices and decisions about illness. If you believe that a contagious disease is contagious, then it will be.
Though we state these things simply, they do not work simply. Seldom do emotional inducements work singularly. They work in complexes and in intricate matrices with each other. Therefore, that you get angry does not mean you are destined to get cancer. Nor does it mean that if you are hurt it is only a matter of time before your back "gives out." It would also be inappropriate to say, "If I don't believe something is contagious, then it isn't. It's as simple as that." Life need not be difficult, but it is both intimate and intricate. Life and health should not be reduced to "one-liners."
Testament provides a documentary-style account of my personal revelation of how I was initiated to understand the Christ Consciousness omnipresent and simultaneously within each one of us. Lazaris is quoted speaking through Jach in The Sacred Journey: You and Your Higher Self (1987): "The Second Coming is a personal revelation of the Christ Consciousness within . . . As more and more people seek and find, we would suggest, it makes it easier for even more to similarly reach and stretch." In comparison, the King James edition of the Bible as a compilation of the work of numerous contributors and editors includes a quotation of Jesus proclaiming "I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven

When I began working on a more commonplace form of autobiography in July 2004, my intention was to describe the circumstances and events that brought me the awareness of an unlimited, all-knowing Superconsciousness. I also wanted to relate some of the comparable occurrences chronicled in some of the documented cases involving unexplained phenomena that evinced potentialities of the human condition in relation to this Force. The testimonials reveal that there are facets of life that are so far beyond people’s accepted beliefs that they may dismiss the evidence with the assumption that witnesses have materialistic or egotistical motives. Many famous experiencers of paranormal phenomena have shown themselves to consider it of great importance to share their insights with others. Their transformed lives and spiritual values reflect their perspective of what has happened to them.
My heightened spiritual awareness motivated me to become a vegetarian. Prior to my trip to Oklahoma, there had been times when I experienced what seemed like an allergic reaction to meat. At first, I thought it might be beneficial to occasionally include fish in my diet but as I researched further about nutrition I found many experts who advised that one can have a fully balanced diet as a vegan. I refer to the period of my life chronicled in Testament as my 'mad period' because even though I knew I was always sane and normal everything happening around me was continuously beyond my previous conception of what can happen in life. I had to steadily reflect about everything and certain truths became apparent. If someone considers me 'crazy' for reporting all the details, I can only say 'Who wouldn't be?' (in comparison to what may be your life experiences) and not only 'Who could make something like this up?' yet also 'For what reason?' My perceptions about an omnipresent Superconsciousness than can manifest in countless ways are proven again each day of my life as for many years—to offer one example—evolved codes of numerical sequences on license plates glimpsed in traffic each day have become accepted as specific editing instructions for my blog articles. For years, I usually wouldn't publish an article until seeing the specific 'completion' numerical sequence. What you might be convinced is 'crazy' is just my ordinary daily reality of what I know others consider a comparably 'over-the-top' life.
One of the earliest news releases about my book mentions how my Angel Michael research began.
Testament resulted after Bell traveled to Centrahoma, Oklahoma to investigate a talking poltergeist haunting involving Bell/Mc Wethy family members. The family has discussed their interaction with “Michael,” an all-knowing Spirit, on television in “Ghosts, Mediums, Psychics: Put To The Test” and “20/20.” Bell realized this was the Archangel in a chain of events that he says proves God’s existence. In Los Angeles, Bell continued interviewing people who’ve experienced events sometimes labeled ‘supernatural’ or ‘miraculous.’ He also discovered evidence that he lived a previous life in Egypt as Bel-Marduk, otherwise known as Ra the priest.
I referred to A Dictionary of Symbols (1971) by J. E. Cirlot to see what would be offered for some of the meaningful words pertaining to the events experienced.
Bell: Its sound is a symbol of creative power. Since it is in a hanging position, it partakes of the mystic significance of all objects which are suspended between heaven and earth. It is related, by its shape, to the vault and, consequently, to the heavens.
Another entry among Cirlot’s dictionary that fascinated me was ‘Wild Man.’
Wild Man: The image of the Wild Man or savage, covered only with a loin-cloth, or a garment of leaves or skins, is a common one in the folklore of almost every country. It is related to, but not identical with, such mythic beings as the ‘snowman,’ the ogre, giants, etc. In heraldry, the image takes the form of the supporter of an escutcheon, when its significance becomes analogous to that of the animals that normally fulfill this function — that is, they express, by virtue of their bilateral symmetry, the counterbalancing of base forces, while sustaining certain spiritual and sublimating elements (the heraldic symbols themselves). Sometimes one finds Wild Women of similar aspect and similar significance . . .
I obtained an impressive old edition of Reverend John Brown’s A Dictionary of the Bible (revised edition 1866) at an antique store for a few dollars while I was living in Santa Monica. A definition that seemed especially noteworthy was for the word ‘angel’ (from the Latin ‘angelus’) in specifying “a messenger; a name not of nature, but of office.” The dictionary explored various applications of the word in the scriptures.
My research in the realm of cryptozoological mysteries related to what is commonly referred to as ‘Bigfoot’ in our current popular culture eventually led to my discovery of the international interest engendered in the mid-nineteenth century by Julia Pastrana, an individual who has been featured in books by Frederick Drimmer, among the authors who have written about the epoch epitomized by P.T. Barnum. “Wild Woman” was the title in 1989 of my first draft of a screenplay based on what I’d found out about Julia’s life after researching sources found via the National Union Catalog and at the British Museum. A London newspaper advertisement announced:
THE NONDESCRIPT, MISS JULIA PASTRANA.—This young lady, the wonder of the world, supposed by eminent naturalists and Physicians to be a hybrid, wherein the nature of woman predominates over the Ourang-Outangs is very singular; her Nose, Forehead, and entire Face, Shoulders, Arms, &c., are covered with Thick Black Hair. She has no Pupil apparent in the Eye, no Cartilage in the Nose, with double gums in the upper and lower jaw, and only One Row of Front Teeth. The Lower Jaw is much extended, and the angle of the face is very singular. Miss Julia Speaks and Sings in English and Spanish, and dances the Highland Fling, Schottish, &c., &c., and has decidedly the prettiest little Hands, Feet, and Ankles, in London. Levees, from Eleven to One, Three to Five, and Eight to Ten daily, at the Regent galley, 69, Quadrant. Admission 1s. And 2s., Stalls, 3s. Miss Julia is pleased when the Ladies and Gentlemen ask her Questions, and examine her pretty Whiskers, of which she is very proud.
Julia was living with Sinaloa Governor Pedro Sanchez in 1854 prior to being taken to the United States for exhibition. There is significant documentation of Julia’s life, including an account of her attending a military ball in Baltimore. Another anecdote featured her commenting about a judge presiding over a murder trial in Maryland. She was reported to say that "he was a ‘good judge and honest man’ and that she would be willing to have him preside even were she on trial for murder!" — this incident said to prove that "Julia had a mind capable of reflection, and that she has proper notions of human accountability, as well as a true distinction between right and wro
ng."
Left: an early sketch of the ungroomed Julia Pastrana (circa 1832-1860) on an early playbill. Right: Julia adapted herself to 'fit in' with the society of her day. Julia was 4' 6" tall and weighed 112 pounds. (Article: "Julia Pastrana and Her Tribe")
I was never a would-be screenwriter who became frustrated when a screenplay wasn’t sold or optioned. I would simply go on to a new project with the hope that this next one might succeed in the unpredictable script marketplace; however, working at a Hollywood movie studio would occasionally result in predicaments that confirmed my worst suspicions regarding the way projects were considered for production. I remember talking to Doug, a creative executive, one afternoon at the cafeteria. He described a story outline for a property currently being auctioned about a possessed car. His comments reminded me that the biggest worry for anyone at a studio passing judgment on a script has nothing to do with quality, it’s whether there’s a chance another studio will eventually make the film because if it becomes a big moneymaker this would threaten the reputation of all those who failed to understand the commercial potential. In this case, I told him not to worry about something that would better be called “My Mother The Car — The Movie.” Doug couldn’t be comforted; after all, one had to consider potential merchandising opportunities.
In the first weeks following my Oklahoma visit, I considered if a movie based upon my experiences could be beneficial yet soon decided otherwise; however, one of the phone calls that I made in September 1995 resulted with an appointment to pitch a movie project to two producers at a Santa Monica-based production company. I’d originally become acquainted with the company during a news release assignment and was uncertain about how much of my story to present during the meeting yet hurriedly wrote a twelve-page description that I entitled:
“?”
A TREATMENT FOR A MOTION PICTURE
by
MARK RUSSELL BELL
At the meeting, I related some of my past research and recent experiences and at first the duo seemed intrigued. Then, when I showed them the photographs from Oklahoma that included the spirit at the grocery store, one of them seemed a bit startled and my impression was that he was becoming uncomfortable with the subject matter when he might’ve felt at ease if it could’ve been possible to say this was all merely fictional.
When the producers asked me about what the resolution could be for this cinematic version of my life chronicling a paranormal researcher’s interaction with a mysterious supernatural being known as ‘Michael,’ I decided to be faithful to my new conviction that honesty is always the best policy. I remember explaining that upon comprehending that the Entity is in fact the Archangel of the Bible, the protagonist is confronted with the possibility that he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
I left asking the producers to consider “all that money going to waste in all those bank accounts.” Accompanying the treatment that I left were excerpts from the interview transcripts, a copy of the Fortean Times magazine article, and my latest draft of my Julia Pastrana screenplay entitled “Wonder of the World.” The meeting had lasted longer than expected after starting late so when I returned to my car that I’d thought myself fortunate to park on the street just outside the building, there was a ticket on the windshield that had been left and signed by an officer whose last name was ‘Heavens.’
An occasional form of communication I’ve experienced from my manifesting Superconscious Collaborator has involved a most surprising medium — insects. In Testament is described significant occasions when a beetle and wasps were factors; now here are some details about other encounters with these tiny creatures.
When I was attending USC and residing in a small off-campus apartment, there was an incident where bugs did me a favor. I remember I’d brought home a bag of donuts and placed it in the cupboard. There never had been any indication of infestation but upon going to retrieve the donuts I opened the cupboard door and reached in only to fling back my hand reflexively upon sighting literally dozens of huge slimy cockroaches of the ‘flying water bug’ variety amassed upon the sweet-smelling bag. It was the last time I opened that particular cupboard and the incident probably even had a deterring influence upon my having any notion of snacking between meals.
While living in Santa Monica, I started waking up in the middle of the night with a mosquito buzzing in my ear. When it kept happening, I knew some meaning was being conveyed. I came to the conclusion that this was one of Mighael's subtle little clues that something was wrong. After thinking about it, the most likely problem was that it had been confided to me that an acquaintance had hidden monetary assets during divorce proceedings. I’d determined that it was spiritually essential to avoid participating in any type of cover-up but in this particular situation I knew a little about the ex-wife and figured that she already knew what had happened; however, perhaps I was wrong. I managed to obtain the woman's telephone number and was able to inform her about the hidden assets. And that was the last time the mosquitoes woke me up.
Since moving to 'the Valley' of Los Angeles, I’ve made progress with my aversion to bugs. A group of Madagascar hissing cockroaches happened to be living outside my apartment. There was a hole in the screen outside the bathroom window and one evening a horde of the cockroaches came inside. I didn’t notice this until they were all over me. Some of them died when I jumped up and they fell off. Others left from where they entered yet occasionally during the following months I would find one now and then. After this event, I wasn’t so disgusted by them as before because I realized they were indeed harmless. I heard a cockroach hiss one night and that’s how I was able to identify what precise species they were. Although they were so large that they made sounds like what a rat might make when I occasionally awoke late at night to find one scuttling around my room, I learned that some people actually keep the creatures as pets and they are quite clean — at least when making comparisons between so-called ‘vermin.’ One morning I found one of the roaches observing me from atop a medicine cabinet. I was startled and gasped so the alarmed insect frantically leaped to the floor. I realized that the fear expressed by the small being was similar to what might be felt by us humans encountering such a colossal organism.
Crickets have also occasionally found their way inside my apartment. The first time two were noticed inside was soon after my mother mentioned that she would like to see a cricket again. She seemed to have forgotten her wish because she quickly managed to kill the pair upon spotting them in the bathroom. Another time, I tried to use a shoebox to take outside an intrepid cricket only to discover how fragile they are. On another occasion when I discovered two crickets, I decided to see if I could humanely euthanize them. I managed to step on one in the kitchen and later became heartsick when I found the surviving cricket sitting at the same spot, now accompanied by what looked like some type of pillbug. All creatures are deserving of human respect. They share the same ultimate source of Being as we all do.
I once was surprised upon reading about some unusual circumstances involving insects in the published diary of composer/record producer Brian Eno. Upon noticing an unusual book at the Philosophical Research Society bookstore identified on the cover as A Year With Swollen Appendices — Brian Eno’s Diary (1996), I expressed an interest in it and Laura, the bookstore manager, told me that it had been ordered by mistake. The diary was an account of events in Eno’s life during the year 1995 and two incidents involving insects especially fascinated me.
In his 14 February diary entry, Eno wrote:
Went for a bike ride up Kilburn High Road. Saw a lady with her nose smashed in, sitting dazed in a heap of bloody tissues with a policeman nearby. The scene had an African quality about it: the nonchalance of the passers-by contrasted with the woman’s plight.
Like that time at the festival in Ghana when the amputee was attacked by a swarm of bees and, after a few moments’ helpless and hysterical bouncing round on the ground, he just settled down and let them cover him. Everyone was watching and laughing.
From the 23 July diary entry:
Wasps — drank one in the garden of a pub (quickly spat it out before damage), got stung by another (on the foot — very painful), and discovered a third sitting next to me on the train.
My perception of insects was among many aspects of life that altered soon after my Oklahoma experiences. What people have in common with all other organisms is each having a consciousness and individuality but as we are all aspects of a greater Intelligence, together we are all truly One. The channeled entity 'James Allen' through Ryuho Okawa has spoken about symbolism involving the ant.
A man who thinks he is not great and makes an effort, day by day, small efforts, day by day like an ant, becomes great in another world when he passes away.
So, please teach your students or followers to not think of themselves as great or big. Your starting point is very small and your work and efforts are very small. But you can accumulate these deeds, day by day. In the end, a tree will bear a lot of fruits in this world or in the other world. Only God knows the result.
But this is belief. This is faith. Don't examine your success or happiness through the result of this world only. OK? (article)
Something that has changed upon reading transcripts of channeled entities explaining Earth life is my understanding of the calibrated progression that we know as 'time.' In 2001, several days after the September 11 World Trade Center disaster, an article appeared at the rense.com Internet radio website entitled "Did The Collective Unconscious Forsee WTC Catastrophe?" The article was contributed by Noel Murphy in Newfoundland and presented two commercial CD covers having illustrations showing parallels to the disaster. A Time magazine cover was also featured for compari
son.
A Dream Theater triple live CD with the release date of 9-11-01 featured "a flaming apple with New York's skyline in flames and the title Live Scenes From New York . . . Note the twin towers explodi
ng."
Murphy also provided a link to information about a game called WTC Defender and explained about it: "You have to shoot down kamikaze planes destined to hit the WTC!!!"
Murphy asked, "Is there something in the collective consciousness? Is there a invisible link between the minds and creative energies that rivals our best telecom systems?" The article next showed the cover of the Coup album entitled Party Music that even more prominently depicted the twin towers of the World Trade Center explod
ing.
A 9-15-01 comment addendum to the article from Lee Ann Ranalli mentioned another "strange CD cover . . . The one with two jets in alignment with the WTC." A link was provided to http://www.ironflame.de/foreseeing_the_future.html where the CD was shown with some explanatory not
es.
On the front, the twin towers of the World Trade Center are on the left and to the right are two airplanes that look like they are about to collide. On the back is the name of the group providing the music that was recorded live, followed by the title of the CD, and the third line provides copyright information.
Notes at the webpage included statements dated September 14 from “eyeon for insekt angelica” stating that the music was recorded live in April 2001 and the cover collage was done by eyeon in June 2001 when the CD first became available.
In 1999, one of my most unexpected encounters with the Collective Consciousness and insects occurred. This time, ants were involved. I’ve occasionally noticed scout ants in my places of residence over the years but I’d never been bitten by one at home before. This happened in the middle of the night, abruptly waking me from a sound sleep by a stinging pain. I didn’t know what was happening until I looked in the bathroom mirror and found an ant with the creature's jaws still embedded beneath my left eye. It apparently had recognized a cell of skin as a source of food. I went back to bed and probably would’ve forgotten the matter entirely if not for what happened two or three nights later. I was listening to a radio talkshow on the subject of capital punishment and one of the topics that I contemplated was the biblical saying 'an eye for an eye.' I wasn’t certain about my viewpoint on this matter but after I went to sleep that night, I again awoke with another sharp pain — this time below my right eye. Another ant.
While at Paramount I had become acquainted with the movie "Eye for an Eye" starring Sally Field. In considering these events, I reflected that seeking revenge blindly doesn’t serve justice yet there are some crimes, such as murder, where the death penalty is appropriate as individuals who commit murder create a profound conflict with their conscience/Highest Self.
In my 2004 draft for my autobiography I acknowledged — We are living in a time when individuals in positions of authority sometimes reveal themselves as being ensconced in service to corporate interests while moral issues are ignored. Bureaucratic agendas may result with expressed concerns for the welfare of others amounting to little more than a public relations tactic. An environmental article was published December 7, 2006 in the United Kingdom newspaper The Independent that expressed many of the moral quandaries of our age. "Exxon Spends Millions to Cast Doubt on Warming" was reported by Andrew Buncombe in Washington and Stephen Castle in Brussels. The article divulged that executives at the world’s largest energy company continued to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund European organizations that seek to cast doubt on the scientific consensus on global warming and undermine support for legislation to curb emission of greenhouse gasses.
It is tragic when decisions are made by anyone whose motivation is based on selfish and materialistic financial concerns when the pursuit and achievement of spiritual joys is the longer lasting alternative. It is bureaucratic or 'corporate thinking' whenever one makes a decision conflicting with his or her spiritual values. The world's wisdom traditions are helpful in reminding us about metaphysical truths beyond one's superficial material circumstances — from ‘the golden rule’ to the spiritual laws of karma and reincarnation.
Sometimes we are confronted with the effects of wrong thinking in calamities befalling people or the environment of the Earth (as I've been chronicling with my Twitter account). When one is cognizant of the detrimental effects from making decisions based only on one's personal welfare, there becomes possible the potential for contributing to the well-being of all and correcting some of the damage from mistakes of the past. A person given authority over any group endeavor should expose wrongdoing or cover-ups. What has happened to Julian Assange provides evidence what has happened to the freedom of the press. (article)
As I've mentioned before — each person is creating one's identity (and karma) with each choice that you make or with those decisions you allow others to make for you. In January when there were news headlines such as "Biden and Trump documents expose wider problem: Missing classified records not uncommon" my reaction as articulated with a Twitter post was — Regarding all the recent news headlines about classified documents and U.S. Presidency, the most important consideration is a moral one for people all over the world. If officials were/are governing honestly, there shouldn't be any classified documents with secrecy restrictions.
In 2007, when gasoline prices began rising exponentially and oil companies increased their profits, I expected to see food prices go up. The growing worldwide food and economic crisis in 2008 revealed that industrial and political leaders are accustomed to focusing on their own company or country’s welfare instead of seeking new ways to work together to find solutions for the problems facing people throughout the world. One of my recent Twitter messages is shown b
elow.
In October 2006, yahoo.com was among the websites presenting a remarkable Reuters story from Oslo about the world’s first museum exhibition about homosexuality among animals. The article written by Alister Doyle appeared with the headline "Birds and bees may be gay — museum exhibition". The report includes:
With documentation of gay or lesbian behaviour among giraffes, penguins, parrots, beetles, whales and dozens of other creatures, the Oslo Natural History Museum concludes human homosexuality cannot be viewed as "unnatural."
"We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear — homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom, it is not against nature," an exhibit statement said.
Geir Soeli, the project leader of exhibition entitled "Against Nature," told Reuters: "Homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them."
Perhaps, all forms of intolerance are motivated by the belief that supporting what one perceives as the 'status quo' will make one's own life easier; therefore, it's essential for us to remember that we become wiser when we understand our motivations when considering issues involving perceptions of morality.
One incident that left a tremendous impact on me happened when I was rather blithely transcribing tape recordings for Testament in 1995. I heard myself commenting during one of the Oklahoma interviews, "It would be interesting to get the poltergeist's view on being gay." I then heard Electronic Voice Phenomena messages "YEAH" "IT'S YOU AND ME" and the moment was emphasized by my Unseen Collaborator affecting me with a sudden and extreme instance of the physical phenomenon of an 'erection' that left me contemplating psychological aspects of human sexuality.
Recalling the 19th Century opposition to the efforts of Susan B. Anthony whose campaign for women's right to vote seems unquestionable from our perspective today, it's obvious that the men in positions of authority who opposed this effort didn't understand their own motivations in attempting to sustain a condition of social inequality. In the 2000s the issue of gay marriage solicited diverse opinions that have nothing to do with whether one thinks marriage would be a favorable circumstance for all people. If social conditioning may impede us from pondering controversial subjects, one may understand the dismissive responses to testimonials of men and women such as myself about their experiences in the realm usually expressed as that of 'paranormal' or 'psychic' phenomena.
A curiosity among my extensive library of metaphysical books is a paperback editions of Charles Fort's The Book of the Damned (1919) and Lo! (1931). The latter shared Fort’s impression of "the underlying oneness": "I conceive, or tell myself that I conceive, that if we could have a concept of our existence as a whole, we could have a kind of understanding of it, rather akin to what, say, cells in an animal organism could have of what is a whole to them, if they should not be mere scientists, trying to find out what a bone is, or the flow of blood in a vein is, in itself; but if they could comprehend what the structures and functions of the Organism are, in terms of Itself."
I learned about Stefan Ossowiecki in Psychic Archaeology (1977) by Jeffrey Goodman. Ossowiecki was a clairvoyant of Polish ancestry who was born in Moscow, 1877. Goodman equated the 'Universal Mind'—a term also expressed by Catholic theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—with Edgar Cayce's channeled readings. Goodman appraised, "This Mind would appear to be analogous to what Ossowiecki called The Consciousness of the One Spirit, and what the Company of Avalon termed the Universal Memory." With 'Company of Avalon,' Goodman was referring to the source for the type of channeling that is called 'automatic writing' utilized by Frederick Bligh Bond in excavations at Glastonbury Abbey.
A curiously titled autobiography is The Ghost In My Life (1971) by Susan B. Anthony, the grandniece and namesake of the famed suffragist whose historical renown inspired the book’s title. One anecdote reminded me that sometimes a seemingly disadvantageous happening can have beneficial consequences. The author described her predicament of needing to supplement her college scholarship by working for room and board by washing dishes and scrubbing floors in private homes. Her first employer was an inconsiderate and harsh taskmistress who showed no patience or affinity for her young part-time maid. After being told to be careful when washing a precious cut-glass fruit bowl, Anthony described handling it gingerly yet ultimately it landed on the floor with a splintering crash. Anthony found her next employers as "thrilling people to work for and they had a profound, far-reaching effect on me."
The Ghost In My Life describes the federal trial of the author's great-aunt after she was charged with illegal voting. A woman voting was considered an act of civil disobedience in 1872. The author described her life as a "controversial" albeit secretly alcoholic radio talkshow host in the 1940s. At the nadir of her compulsive drinking, she described finding a sobering message written to herself while "in total blackout." The termination of two radio jobs contributed to her state of depression yet she eventually became determined to overcome the obstacles in her life that were of her own making and differentiate them from those insurmountable conditions influencing her career.
Only gradually I realized that while I had groped in the haze of alcoholism, the world had moved from the alliances of World War II into the new battle lines of the cold war. No longer were the Fascists and Nazis the enemy; in 1946 the new enemy was the Soviet Union.
President Roosevelt had been in his grave less than two weeks, in April 1945, when the preliminary shots of this new war were fired at the San Francisco meeting of the United Nations Organization. With one voice the American press seemed to turn overnight against Russia. Now in December 1946 the attack on liberals and leftists was gaining momentum through official and unofficial agencies. I myself had interviewed some of the victims of these attacks on my radio programs. Now I was one of the growing number of liberal commentators being "purged" from the air, and blacklisted for future programs in New York.
It took me two years to get back on the air. And then it was not in New York and certainly not on controversial issues. I returned to radio in Boston, pioneering with a program on alcoholism, and later one on psychogenic illness. The shows reflected a general retreat forced by the purge of political commentary shows. But in my case they also reflected a transformation in my personal focus. By 1950 I had learned from my recovered alcoholic friends that my job was to change myself first, before trying to change the world.
This is one more piece of evidence showing how long the American news media has been regulated by what continues to be traditional in 2023 for the metaphysically and spiritually ignorant, indoctrinated drudges of the military-industrial corporate complex.
After becoming the caregiver for my ailing mother, We relocated from Santa Monica to the San Fernando Valley in 1999. I was surprised when my new apartment manager Grace told me that she was among those to experience a visit from a Holy Being Whom she identified as Yeshua HaMashiach. She said that it happened on a quiet evening in the summer of 1982. She described seeing beautiful circles of light emanating from the Holy One's head. When I asked her why this manifestation had taken place on this particular night, she told me that the reason was only for Him to know.
"I believe He is God Himself," Grace declared. I asked, "He didn’t say anything but by telepathy, perhaps, you had some feelings?"
"I would say what we call telepathy — yeah. I did have feelings. We talked to each other and it was with a sense of peace . . . He is Love."
In 2004, after five years of dialysis, my mother’s strength seemed to be waning and she began using a walker. Ellen was hospitalized for a bronchial infection and soon was sent to a nursing home. When I visited her there, she was hostile to those who assisted her. Sometimes as I watched nurses and aides attempt to help her, she complained that they were rough and discourteous, whether they were responding to her request to move her higher on the bed, or remove the bedpan, or assist her to dress. Although a nurse confided to Mike that she would “slowly drift away,” Ellen was adamant about leaving the nursing home.
She’d been in poor health for some time before coming to live with me in 1998. End stage kidney failure was diagnosed the following year. Doctors had also recommended heart valve replacement surgery, the removal of a kidney, and either throat surgery for Zenker’s diverticulum (pharynx rupture) or the insertion of a feeding tube but my mother had decided against these procedures as she didn’t think she would’ve survived the operations.
After three weeks at the nursing home, her doctor said she could return home if I agreed to be her caregiver. I was willing to give it a try because the nursing home environment was so depressing. I remember noticing each day lonely old souls slowly moving their wheelchairs down the hall for exercise. One of the more energetic of these surprised me when she abruptly began singing, “Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener . . .” After returning home to Los Angeles from Oklahoma in 1995, 'the Entity' wouldn't allow me to watch television at all. A few seconds later, my TV monitor would go off at a telltale moment in whatever was being broadcast at the time.
Ellen was happier to be back in our apartment and did get a bit stronger yet a trip to the kitchen or bathroom would usually leave her gasping. A social worker arranged for her to have a rechargeable motorized wheelchair. Beyond the regimen of pills and doctor appointments that she attempted to avoid as much as possible, the television afforded her an illusion of activity. She liked to watch old movies that reminded her of the past and regularly watched such shows as "Maury Povich" (who I once met while working at Paramount), "Judge Judy" (Ruth's son Mike had once appeared on the show),"Family Feud," "Jeopardy," along with news telecasts, made-for-cable TV melodramas, and documentary shows with topics of murder, law enforcement and forensic investigation. Where the latter are concerned, my impression was that my mother was in some vague way attempting to prepare herself for her inevitable physical demise. She expressed contentment as long as her television was on and she had either a deck of cards or some crossword puzzle magazines to occupy her time. Occasionally she would take out her frustrations on me yet I understood the great emotional stress brought on by her terminal illness.
In the spring of 2006 my mother's physical condition reached the point where it seemed her body was wearing out. Her blood pressure readings were often so low at the dialysis center that the staff wanted to send her to the hospital but my mother refused. She could never feel at ease in a hospital. She knew that people died in hospitals and this great unknown was a worrisome thing. I did my best to make her aware of transcendental communication case chronologies providing descriptions of the afterlife. I once left a paperback copy of Betty Ede's Embraced By The Light (1992) within her reach one morning as I left for my job at the high school and I'm sure she found it of rapt inte
rest.
During my mother's long illness, there were occasions when she had no choice other than going to the emergency room yet as soon as her vital signs were found to be in the normal range, she would be adamant about returning home and wouldn’t further cooperate with doctors and nurses. In 2006, Ellen’s periods of respiratory distress were becoming more frequent but she insisted that she would stop undergoing dialysis if she ever was faced with being placed in a nursing home again.
One Friday I came home and realized that my mother wasn't able to get out of bed. Ellen confessed that she’d fallen again. It had happened on her way to the bathroom, she explained, yet it was unclear how she’d gotten back into the bed. For the fourth time in a few weeks I called 911 and she was taken to the emergency room. An X-ray of her right hand showed a finger was fractured and later she also admitted that she’d hurt her leg. That weekend, she felt even worse than usual and her injury prevented her from doing any crossword puzzles. She told Mike and me that she was "ready to go" and I noticed that she wasn't drinking her nutritional supplement drinks.
On Monday she appeared more exhausted than I'd ever seen her and, bleary-eyed, told me that when she had trouble breathing and attempted to contact the nurse in the early morning hours, no one responded so she was forced to dial 911. I later was told by her doctor that some time on Tuesday morning my mother had become “anxious” (uncooperative) and the hospital staff had medicated her. When my brother visited her in the early afternoon she was barely responsive, seemingly due to the medication. When I arrived a few hours later, her condition distressed me. She appeared to be sleeping but was moving fitfully on the bed as if unable to find a comfortable position. When I was standing over her, she barely managed to say my name and muttered a few words, including what might’ve been "help."
I placed an urgent call to her doctor but his answering service explained that for hospitalized patients it was mandatory for the nurse to make the telephone call to him. The doctor finally arrived several hours later. At that time, he ordered that Ellen be taken off all medication. He advised me that it was possible she'd suffered a stroke so we'd have to wait and see what her condition would be like in the morning. She was in no condition to read but I noticed that "Thomas Merton's Prayer" had been left for her with a form letter inviting her to contact the chaplain who was manager of the Spiritual Care Department. This wasn't the first time she'd received these forms.
The following morning around six a.m., I received a telephone call that my mother had been transferred to ICU before one a.m. The nurse stated that Ellen was transferred to ICU when it was determined that she didn't have any detectable blood pressure. When I hung up the phone, I was bewildered. My mother's years of physical struggle had reached the inevitable conclusion. Then I wondered if my mother was still conscious — is someone still conscious without blood pressure? I quickly called the nurse back and she told me that Ellen was showing some signs of awareness. The nurse asserted, "She's waiting for you.".
After rushing to the hospital, I located my mother and her appearance was heartbreaking. There was a crimped look to her eyes that '’d never seen before. I told her all the things I thought she needed to hear. At first, I didn’t know if she could hear me. She seemed unresponsive so I expressed my feelings by crying. I was astounded as she lifted her head and turned toward me. I don't think she could've distinguished me as more than a shadow in her condition yet I knew that she recognized my voice. There was a glimmer of emotion in her wan expression and then she rested her head back down. I realized it must've upset her to see me so sad as I patted her shoulder and held her hand, telling her that her Angel would soon be here and that she was going to begin a great adventure.
After several minutes, the number on the cardiac monitor suddenly plunged from 35 to zero and then started going up again for what would be her final moments. At this time, I told her, "I will miss you, my friend." The vital signs ended but I knew that she didn't want to leave because now who would there be to look after me? Finally, right before the process culminated, I saw her head turn and through her dim eyes she obviously was seeing something or someone else in the room that couldn't be distinguished by anyone else.
A few minutes later it was back to the business of living and I was asked to finalize arrangements for my mother's body to be removed from the hospital. The Omega Society fulfilled my mother's decision for her body to be cremated.
During my last months with my mother, there were a few possibly portentous occurrences. Occasionally Ellen's TV would inexplicably turn off yet she would always use the remote control to immediately turn it back on. And for her the TV stayed on. I continued encouraging her to listen to music or to audio cassettes on subjects more conducive to expanding her appreciation and understanding of life and spirituality. I didn't seem to have much success with that goal. Back when she could accompany me during a weekend drive, I was pleased when she requested to listen to a Barry Manilow CD or Abba’s song “Fernando.” Sometimes I would tell her about subjects that I'd researched yet she was never obviously enthusiastic during these attempts as she always found awkward my writing and conversation about my metaphysical experiences.

My 'paranormal initiation' to the Nature of The God Force—reported and chronicled online for more than 25 years—brought the insight that a human being best expresses love in return to the Source by working to improve the life conditions of other people and our environment in accordance with the awareness that one should always be a spiritually conscious and responsible co-creator.
As one example of contemporary people ignoring or dismissing Divine Dispensations, I've contacted hundreds of people including UFOlogists, NASA staff members and Twitter podcast hosts to provide them with the overlooked or 'covered-up' facts about documented interaction with visitors from other worlds only for them to do nothing with this information as far as I can tell. The articles include "Here Is UFOlogy's 'Bombshell Physical Proof", "UFOS, Transcendental Communication and Expansion of Consciousness", "Flying Saucers and 'The Nine Pattern'" and "UFOs / UAP / Flying Discs Scientifically Explained by 'Channeled Entities'".

What would best always be considered is how have you expressed love to the Source this day instead of following the path of the 'sheeple' silently allowing the current paradigm to steadily progress toward nuclear war as the inadvertent culmination of the current progression of human society. Every human being should instead be doing everything possible to alter the status quo and in this way reaching out to embrace a New Age personally realized by an individual's expansion of consciousness and helping others to accomplish this also. Abandoning the programming of immoral military 'winner take all' values and relinquishing assumed imperatives of 'corporate thinking' promoting greed among a coterie of governing company officials collectively will bring about the long awaited New Age of Aquarius, an epoch of Divine wonders and expanded knowledge of metaphysical cosmology resulting with the corresponding excitement and prosperity throughout the world. Being diplomatic with the leaders of other nations is not only spiritually wise, it is vastly less wasteful than the tradition of acceding to the illusions of people prioritizing military force over loving diplomacy and charity with peoples residing in territories under the jurisdiction of other paperwork principalities.
There will be no 'world peace' until human beings and their governing officials comprehend the harm and fallacies involving 'assumed imperatives' that are metaphysically/spiritually senseless and instead strive to make morally responsible decisions all the time.
