Pope sees rising tide...

OK, this one is good as gold as far as clues that something is afoot with human spiritual growth.

It seems the Pope of the Catholic Church is noticing that something is happening too, only he's taking steps to try to avert it.

Read: "Pope orders bishops to root out false claims of visions."

Is the sun setting on the Catholic Church?

If I am right about the dawning of a new level human consciousness, It only makes sense that any organized religion would react violently and attempt to cast individual experience in a negative and frightening light.

After all, it would mean that people would be "waking up" to the fact that there is no one between the individual and the divine, and would strike a death blow to the heart of any organization that claimed to be THE conduit to god.

Here's a key quote from this article that perked my ears right up:

"The Pope is said to be deeply concerned by the explosion in the number of pseudo-mystics who, claiming a direct line to God, set themselves against the bishops and lure the Catholic faithful out of the Church and into disobedient cults. "

I think its understandable that the pope would attempt to quash something that would destroy both his and his organizations power.

But to me, the mere fact that this "explosion" has come to the Pope's attention, is as close to proof that I'm gonna get that humanity IS on the brink of a new psychic awareness.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

"blindsight"

Here's a bit that's fits right up there with opening of consiousness.

This man can "see" without using his eyes. I've heard of this phenomenon before.

I even remember it being discussed in the Seth Material.

If you belive in demons...

Ok, here's one from a truly unexpected source.

Here we have an interesting viewpoint about UFOs. Stephen Yulish PhD presents his information as evidence that UFOs are demonic spiritual activity.


While I truly appreciate the effort to consider event's in a spiritual light, I don't agree with his conclusions.

As you know from my stated beliefs, I believe that iconography like demons or angels are really just belief matrix's that we use to filter the universe around us into our own subjective reality.

While I fully acknowledge they have validity for people who believe in them, I am convinced that like all other classifications, they are of our own manufacture.

So while Dr. Yulish sees this through the lens of 'god' and evil, I see this as yet another event that pushes our normal reality, and yet another desperate grasp at a familiar set of ideas to explain it.

Take a look and see if you get the same thing.

Hunting the Paranormal "Objectively"

So here is an interesting story about clinical psychologist Thomas Rabeyron, a very diligent bloke, who really wants to get to the bottom of all this paranormal stuff.

It's a good case study for my point of view, because while his intentions are there, he's still gonna try to shoe horn alternate realities into a scientific, "objective" study.


His big complaint is that the phenomena all seems to vanish when he studies it "objectively":

"All we know is that in similar experiments, whenever the cameras were around, the occupants were more comfortable and the phenomena came to an end."

I propose that it's not the camera's that inhibit observation of the activity, but the attitude of the researchers. Note how he's already limited the possible explanations, and has discounted his own contribution in all of them:

"The only explanations for this would be that the occupants were faking it and didn't want to be caught out, that there was some kind of psychological explanation that was canceled out by the presence of the cameras, or that the phenomenon was caused by a real poltergeist that didn't want to be caught on film."

Its funny how scientists keep holding to the premise that something can be viewed objectively, even though science itself has proven that the act of observing changes the results.

Assume for a moment that its this researcher's own biases that are limiting his ability to observe the phenomena, what do you think he could do to be successful?

Does it have to be a space ship?

I am often stuck that people seem to have stopped questioning what unidentified objects are and only debate if they exist.

Remember when it came out that Dennis Kucinich had seen a UFO? The Congressman had to defend to the media and the masses that just because he had seen something; "Hey, it was UN-identified", that didn't automatically mean he believed in little green men.

The question these days is not "What is that light in the sky?" but more, "Is it an alien from another planet or the Air Force on secret maneuvers?". I find it interesting because I think both sides might be wrong.

What if these occurrences and experiences are not that simple? After all, it's easy to imagine a man from space, right? Even if he's a freaky looking person, he's still a person. He (or she,....or it) still put that space suit on one leg at a time. Climbed into a ship that used technology to travel across space as we know it and start a picnic, or maybe an invasion.

Think about it, all those concepts are totally familiar, humans have been getting in ships and landing and invading longer than anyone can remember. So really this "STRANGE" space alien thing is actually pretty well within our everyday frame of reference.

What if the idea of aliens visiting our plant is the "cover-up"? One that we manufacture ourselves, no conspiracy needed. What if these events are pushing the edges of our agreed upon reality and we haven't figured out how to interpret what we're seeing, so we're grasping at familiar ideas?

Here's some new footage that recently hit the news in the UK. Just for fun, consider for a moment; what if it really happened, and it's not a hoax, but neither is it space aliens, government testing nor an errant weather balloon...what else could this be?

"Ghost" on mainstream news

CNN covered this story about an apparition that apparently appeared on the security cameras at gas station awhile back.

It's the story that inspired a persistent idea that a part of this big "awakening" is that the mass consciousness seems willing to expand their awareness to include "evidence" of something unexplainable on mainstream media.

(I believe that humans are only one of endless varieties of consciousness, and that the only reason we aren't consciously aware of everyone else is that we're choosing to limit our perceptions to the "game" we think of as life).

What catches my attention here is that the reporter and interviewees have no conceptual framework to discuss about this apparition beyond referring to it as a "ghost" or "angel" .

Something tells me this is just the beginning, (not that it's anything new to have footage of something strange, but it IS new for a large news outfit like CNN to think its valid enough to cover it.) If I'm right and things start showing up, we're gonna need a new vocabulary that extends beyond religious iconography if we ever hope to understand our relationships with extra-dimensional beings.
