Ideas Of What The `Death State’ May Be For Humans

This week, over at the new blog called The C Influence, we’ve been discussing `ghosts’  - which motivated me to think a little bit harder and dig into the data a little bit deeper about the `Death State’ of humans - or, more specifically - human consciousness. Because, as The Heavy Stuff readers would be aware of - much is `believed’ about what happens after the death of `our body’; - but, what does the limited data say and what theories may be drawn from the data to project a possible understanding.

Some of the `data’ available for consumption to make theories occurs from what is now referred to as a near death experience (NDE) - indeed, many books exist with a whole variety of `situations’ encountered within the `opening minutes’ of the death state. And, one NDE begins literally within the same phenomenology as one resides in while alive; for example - the `NDExperiencer’ who `floats’ out of their body (space) with full perception while immediately in that space or room. This would cover those NDE’s where the individual is looking down in the emergency room and can see and hear the doctors working to save them - or - look around the room. Often these `spaces with perception’ will float up to the ceiling - or beyond - thru the `house’/`hospital’ and out into the sky.

These `dead spaces with perception’ - don’t experience themselves as ghosts or as themselves - but generally they know that they are in their soul (so to speak). But, before we get into other `dead spaces perceptions’ - it is important to stress that the majority of those who die for a few moments to minutes - experience NOTHING AT ALL - —– as if they haven’t reached even the separation state. And, if you think of this logically - if `attaining different spaces’ is what occurs to the human consciousness at death - one could assume that the immediate state (IN THE BODY BEFORE SEPARATION) would indeed be the majority of cases. IMO.

So, lets set up a timeframe in essence - initially, most `dead spaces without perception’ are in the original body the person has `occupied’ during life; which then proceeds to the `dead space with perception at separation from the original body’ - and - this `new space’ is still within our phenomenology in every regard. And, that the experience of that `perceiving aware space’ has eventually no density and can pass thru walls etc.

The next less connected `death state’ as reported by those having NDE’s would be that the `dead perceiving space’ finds itself in a `tunnel’ which often is also the means of return to life (remember all this data is that of NDE’s) - (it could even be suggested that the `review of life’ reported happens in this phase of space) - nonetheless, it seems this immediate process involves the specific humans life - in a tremendous decompression of time as to being `almost instantaneous’.

However, with my views about phenomenology - it is phenomenology itself - to me - IMO - that is `changing’ at this point for the `dead perceiving space’. The `life review’ nearly tearing the body apart for it’s next adventure - showing that `reliving’ the past seemed `real’ in some regard (often thought of as a judgement on the life). But, I’d argue that the `new perceptions’ and the phenomenology it suggests is available to those who die - `charges’ the `new dead perceiving space’ - with a new phenomenology THAT VERY FEW RETURN FROM with first person views.

However, even at these outer reportable limits of human consciousness, sometimes can trigger what seems to be a `new now with the dead’ (often relatives) - who tell you that your time isn’t up or that you are not to stay in that phenomenology; yet. It is at that point that one’s own intentionality’s seem to be able to mount one last effort to return to the other phenomenology - and the `space’ one occupies there.

And, all of the above is fine and dandy. But, it doesn’t provide `data’ about that new phenomenology that seems evident to some who die and return. Nor is the topic of this discussion as the after effects of NDE to individuals who experience a different based phenomenology (that involves something other than local reality).

And, as THS readers know, I’ve covered one person before who sought such information about `living conditions’ in the afterlife of human consciousness - a seance man named Leslie Flint - and his `data’ (findings of things the dead say) and the `data’ that comes from more modern methods of speaking to the dead such as `Frank’s Box’ - provide yet another possible indication of the `near’ death state is possibly like. I covered both Leslie Flint and Frank’s Box this week on my other blog called `Barf Stew’. http://barfstew.blogspot.com- and, it is from my posts there that I’d like to quote from for the continuation of my examination of the `death state’ issue.

I’d first like to look at `esoteric wisdom’ of an old chinese man that came thru to Mr. Flint:

Facts of our life, which in some ways are very much like the earth, we refer to a condition of life enjoyed chiefly by people who have only recently left your world, and therefore, people of a mentality as such that they have not shed themselves of the material and in consequence have not made much progress and they have found an environment which they themselves have become mentally tuned into, adjusted to by their earthly thoughts.

And, compare that to the words of Aliester Crowley (part of the discussion at The C Influence http://thecinfluenceblog.blogspot.com ) provided by a reader of the blog:

Now this Soul, as an Officer in the High Mass of the Cosmos, taketh on the Vesture of his Office, that is, inhabiteth a Tabernacle of Illusion, a Body and Mind. And this Tabernacle is subject to the Law of Change, for it is complex, and diffuse, reacting to every Stimulus or Impression. If then the Mind be constantly attached to the Body, Death hath not Power to decompose it wholly, but a decaying Shell of the Dead Man, his Mind holding together for a little his Body of Light, haunteth the Earth, seeking (in its Error, that feareth Change) a new Tabernacle in some other Body

Both of these esoteric ideas, to me, say nearly the same thing - IF one goes `over’ to the other side of the dead - the phenomenology becomes similar to Earth but unique to the individual - until eventually an `asendence’ from that phenomenology area happens too - a second death if you will. This is all based on climbing some sort of phenomenology based on your space and knowledge/wisdom.

This is from the same Lesley Tape of the man from China in ancient times:

But when you ask those who have been here for sometime (as you understand time) who have made spiritual progress, they live in an environment so far remote from anything you can imagine. For them it would be increasingly difficult for them to manifest and describe the condition under which they exist.

And, this makes sense - after all - supposedly only about 6% of all people ever born live today - multiply that by the number of `aware consciousnesses that die in the universe’ - and you’d have a pretty crowded place if it wasn’t for `individual space perceptions based on a different phenomenology structure involving knowledge/wisdom’. This is not to suggest that other individuals may not be in similar `spaces’ involved with the same wisdom - which may allow interaction.

So, the perceiving human spirit of one may be released in a new non-local location - but, even that `time is limited’. After that one can only surmise that ones knowledge is one and the same as what knowledge represents and a merging occurs  - or - is reborn as a different space.

Again, from the Flint tape:

For a man who is wise (as you understand it) as soon as he passes through the gates called death, he realises that , that which was wisdom in the past, as you progress becomes ignorance in consequence of the wisdom gained. Wisdom is something which is a state of being which may apply and does apply till such time as you have made progress to another state.

Now, I like to apply my so-called Phillips Phenomenology to the above too - To me, in the PP - our space as alive humans which is NOT -ABLE - TO - BE (because we are a part of the not able to not be — the real) - at death - `switches’ to BEING - ABLE TO NOT BE. And, for a while, for the `ghosts’ that can mean being part of our phenomenology which includes both. But, I think most if not nearly all - human consciousnesses - go to - the new phenomenology space structure which includes `percieving human dead spaces’ being IN the able to not be. To me, dead doppelgangers `appearing’ to living humans is the ultimate example of such.

But, nearly all humans don’t have ONE I - and are most probably - many I’s (all with their attachments - even if in conflict with other of the I’s) - so, the `time after death - when, life there is `human like’ is what most of us are most interested in - not the ultimate objective of being a being. And, Frank’s Box gives some great examples of that :

When your dead your not really dead

It is all just a big scheme to get people to think they are alive still

The worse thing is when dead people think they know everything

You really don’t meet that many interesting dead people

I miss masturbation

Things just don’t taste the same when your dead

If Johnny Depp was here this would be hell!

Additionally, some of this is confirmed via the Leslie Flint Tapes - things such as `you eat’ only in the early days of being dead - that indeed, `preachers’ telling you that there is `more to the world than this death state’ - are present and preaching to you. And, other details like - bricklayers would befriend other bricklayers and that for awhile they would lay bricks or build homes - but that eventually they did less and less with each person. Other details included statements that the `body’ one had in death also eventually diminishes or becomes less important - and that a full body of others was also not a requirement. And, the phenomenology itself was more scattered and less sequential - and got more and more like that as `time’ went on in death.

Perhaps what I like best about all of this is how much sense it makes - which is scary too. As it seems obvious that when dead we would have to give up all our Earthy body attachments to advance - it’s almost like that movie where only some of the people saw color. Everyone would be able to see each others level on the other side - knowing they would be mixed with those of a similar state of being based on the remaining attachments - interests.

Ready for your comments - remember, much more discussion about this topic is over at The C Influence - a blog put together by thinkers and bloggers about the unknown - if you like The Heavy Stuff - you will love The C Influence Blog.

Anomalous Realities - The Cosmic Crack

About 35 years ago I encountered the book `The Crack In The Cosmic Egg’ - an intellectual book that sought to explain reality by looking at `the cracks’. The idea was that in the few locations where `reality cracked’, we could find the true deepest esoteric ideas about the world we live within.The author often used the `miracles’ of Castanada’s `Don Juan’ (a Mexican Indian Sorcerer), the `miracles’ of Jesus in the bible, and `miracles’ such as walking across hot coals - as the `cracks’ to be examined.

Now, I will not ruin a great read - but - in a nut shell - `The Crack In The Cosmic Egg’ author - chose the concept of belief - as the `ultimate answer‘ - to `what makes our reality’. It was to be this `belief’ that allowed Castaneda to observe Don Juan’s other world - which was as REAL as ours. It was this `belief’ that allowed Jesus to walk on water and to manipulate the visual reality. Just as it was the `belief’ of the firewalkers - that allowed them to cross and not even have their robes or clothes affected.

Now, the concept that `other realities’ exist - is a powerful one. Religions, which still have a grip on the minds of many in humanity, are based on the concept. Scientists, have told us that `dimensional realities’ may exist. Shaman have sworn to it that special consensus realities exist; as have LSD users.

But, what examples exist of such realities that DON’T involve the religious visions, science findings and speculations, or occultish or drugged `states of mind’? Has `reality’ given us all clues to `the cosmic crack’? What kind of `clues’ exist that seem to show REAL Anomalous Realities (RAR)?

Well, I can think of several that I often like to `throw out there’ - as being - A Seam Of The Cosmic Bubble Of Real. And, to me, that `seam of real’ has at least several variations I’d like my readership to consider.

The first is the appearance of Doppelgangers into our reality(the most extreme case being that of Eastern Flight 401’s Pilot and Co-Pilot - which I have blogged about here http://theheavystuff.com/?p=17). For those that are new to the Doppelganger term - I’m using it to represent those cases where a `Dead’ Person - is seen in `Living Form’ in our reality.

Historical cases have included `immigrants’ who died while crossing the ocean - being seen in the flesh in the streets of where they lived in Europe (often at the time of death - but, afterwards too) - in addition to occasional `Civil War’ Doppelgangers that get reported from time to time. Certainly, these examples point to a reality that has anomalous cracks and which should be a subject of study.

The same can be said of what I call `shared subjective reals’.

One example is indeed, the shared realities that Castaneda is said to have `shared’ with Don Juan - Non-Ordinary Realities. Indeed, in the back of the first Castaneda book about Don Juan there is a section called `A Structural Analysis’ - which, Carlos uses to describe the attributes that formed that non-ordinary reality that he observed and experienced as a participant firsthand.

Indeed, this `ability’ to `go to a new landscape’ — to a new reality — also exists in nearly the exact state described by Charles Tart in his book `Altered State’ in a section called Mutual Hypnosis. Via a particular method of hypnosis - two or even more participants could enter into a `new mutually shared reality’. Certainly, these experiences must be surfing along one of the Cosmic Cracks too - don’t you think?

Now, obviously, the Doppelganger `crack’ seems to occur as an anomaly in our `outer mutual common consensus’ reality. Whereas, the Mutual Hypnosis `crack’ seems to occur as an anomaly of real within an `inner special consensus’ reality. But, both break thru - to provide a real experience - for the observer.

And, both are representative of of real anomalous realities that challenge the Cosmic Crack

Could Chilean `Anomalies’ Be Caused By Prayer?

luminous beingHello and welcome to The Heavy Stuff (THS). On this blog I try to explore fringe ideas (what my ideas seem to be) and make projections about possible meanings. And, to that end, some particular thoughts have entered my mind regarding some `anomalies’ that have been reported on the internet surrounding the huge earthquake in Chile; - reports of orbs, ufo’s and even glowing entities. Here’s an example of the last - http://inexplicata.blogspot.com/2010/03/chile-luminous-entity-spreads-panic.html.

Anyway, as I said, this incident was not the only anomalous thing reported near the time of the ground shaking events. But, it brings to my mind some `simple’ explanations for the actualization’s perhaps. As certainly, in the general area - literally that geographic region - more prayers (mind energy) were probably being intentionally directed locally and NON-locally to this location (spaces)  - than at any time in the recent past.

Now, any student of the paraNormal knows that `specialized thought’ - `specialized expectations’ - seems to be the `formula’ for experiencing/actualizing - non ordinary events. The `Bigfoot’ hunter goes into the forest and `hears’ the communicative wood taps. The `Ghost’ hunter - finds the electromagnetic influences they expect to find in a localized space. ——– All the way to the `space brother channeler’ who expects to be told ideas in their minds/heads that a space brother would say. And, in those localized `spaces’ events occur/actualize.

So, my `simple’ contention is that the actualization of Chilean anomalous events may have been due to a significant `excess’ in `energized for miracles’ space/spaces. Especially when enhanced with the probable strange electromagnetic Earth influences in the midst of the aftershocks. Perhaps, when that much Noosphere energy is about - the structures of perception can be changed too - (an idea I’ve already started a post for THS  this week - stay tuned).

The Heavy Stuff Bookshelf - The Dirty Dozen

Hello, thanks for visiting The Heavy Stuff (THS) today. If you are a regular, I had to go to this new format-theme  to be able to maintain a sidebar on my posts that are by individual pages - most likely the manner that you arrived (via a link) today (meaning a link ending with a post number). That said, I like this look - new understated theme for `heavy’ ideas.

Ok, today’s post is literally to look - briefly - at my personal bookshelf - the books - so to say - that made my mind the way it is ( and that you read on THS). The reviews below are ones that I wrote years ago for my squidoo site - I’ve copy and pasted them here for you to get my sense of how `heavy’ these books are. And yes, they are in the order of the heaviest first .

Number One
The systematic analysis of the philosophy of Being - the book which `lays out’ what existentialism IS. Includes such amazing chapter titles as Being-In-Itself; The Ontological Proof, and The Origin of Nothingness. This is the book for you if you want to have even the smallest grasp on `Temporality’ or `Transcendence’. The paperback version is over 800 pages — get ready for the read of a lifetime. Heavy rating of 10+.

Number Two
Quite simply the BIBLE of phenomenology and consciousness thought. If you think you have thought about the `issues’ of mind and matter — think again — unless you have read this very very rare book. Husserl thought out the ideas of Phenomenology in the late 1800’s and to this very day you can find people meeting in groups to discuss these mammoth ideas. Personally, my FAVORITE `heavy’ book of alltime. Heavy Rating 10+

Number Three
Is this the heaviest book written in the last 50 years? I’d say it could be. What else could possibly be heavier than being the first person to actually `figure out’ all the most perplexing astronomy data — and then to — `explain it’ to the rest of the scientists in the world. Yes, this is the man who figured out the `problem’ with the BIG BANG — and thought of the solution. The solution was INFLATION. Those amazing moments next to creation that included the notion that `space’ can expand `quicker’ than the speed of light. Indeed, if Guth is right (and one experiment after another has confirmed inflation) the universe we live in is huge in a manner that you have probably never even considered. For example, you may know that the `edge’ of our VISIBLE universe is about 13.7 billion years away — however, BEYOND that `visible edge’ lies OUR SAME UNIVERSE — we simply can’t see it (and never will) — but it is there with stars and worlds just like `here’ in our visible portion. But, get this, that `unseen portion’ of our universe is TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS times the size of our `visible’ portion. Yes, you need this book — how can you say NO to the heaviest book of the 1900’s? Heavy Rating 10+.

Number Four
In the 1970’s a student at UCLA wrote of his meetings with an Indian medicine man and sorcerer. These meetings involved gaining the actual understanding of the sorcerer’s worldview. This worldview supposedly led Castaneda into a `separate reality’ on occasion. These separate realities of the sorcerer included everyday phenomena and entities which lived in the special reality. Other special realities included controlled lucid dreaming - often described by researchers as a different mind state. This is NOT a book you want to say that you’ve NEVER read - a must read selection. Heavy Rating 10+ (I’ve read at least 7-8 Carlos Books BTW - this was the best.)

Number Five
Like the ideas of Husserl, the ideas of Ouspensky and Gurdjeff also have people STILL TO THIS DAY forming groups to discuss how heavy the thoughts are. Indeed, they are heavy; some would say that this is the BEST consciousness book ever written — the most intense examination of `mind’ ever undertaken. If the book was to be `summed up’ in one sentence it would be `THE ONLY THING IS TO AWAKE’. Heavy Rating 10. (Like Castaneda, I’ve read several of Ouspensky’s books too.)

Number Six
Another very rare book — you’d NEVER run across this out of print in the store so here is your chance. If you have ever wondered about the many various `types of time’ — this is your book. Most interesting are the chapters devoted to the very idea of FREEWILL and DETERMINISM and their relation to time and dimensional time. Can any time be real that isn’t here now? This is the book if you want the speculative answers. Heavy Rating - 10.

Number Seven
Here’s my bow to religion on earth for humans — and, indeed, it’s very heavy. It seems non-attachment is a universal theme in a lot of esoteric thought — you won’t find a better writer on the subject than the late Alan Watts. This is Zen Buddhism at it’s very best. If you lean to the spirtitual side this might be for you. Heavy Rating - 10. (One of several Watts books I’ve devoured.)

Number Eight
Many folks feel that `Bucky’ Buckminster Fuller was the greatest thinker of the 1900’s. If you have never seen his world map without distortion - you haven’t seen the world in true proportion. Bucky was such a great thinker that a type of CARBON is named after him — is there a greater honor than that. You must be familiar with this book and some of his greatest ideas. Heavy Rating - 10.

Number Nine
A recent book which explores some `oddities’ in Utah in the mid 1990’s. Huge oddities. Of every type. That suggest that the multi-verse may be an answer for the unexplainable anomalies. Co-written by a TV reporter still active in Las Vegas, this is a well documented book. Very enjoyable and a fairly quick read for `heavy ideas’. Heavy Rating - 9+

Number Ten
This is a must book if you think you want to work on your own `consciousness’. Ouspensky’s Guru and the last of the wandering esoteric Masters. Great story. Heavy Rating - 9+ (Yes, this isn’t the only Gurdjieff book I’ve read.)

Number Eleven
Physics taken to the new limits of the 2000’s — this version saying that `time itself’ does not exist. This version says that only `space’ exists. And, that `that’ space — is `chosen’ via a method that compares one moment to another by selecting the `next space’ that is the `most similar’ with the least intrinsic difference from the previous `space’. Wonderfully heavy book by a renegade Physics writer. Heavy Rating - 10

Number Twelve
Further discussions of this `Hyperspace’ which seems to allow for every moment of time to be extended in a way. The way for space to be moved thru without time constraints. The actual answer to many anomalies perhaps. Hyperspace. You need to read more. Heavy Rating - 9+

Lastly, if you desire - you can see the last 7 of my heavy bookshelf at the two links below - and those too are with description.

Ranking The First 100 Heavy Stuff Posts - Part One - Original Ideas

Hello, and welcome to The Heavy Stuff  (THS) - thanks for being inquisitive. Yes, as you can see from the title of this post - THS is about 100 esoteric posts old and just over 3 years on the calendar. And, as you may well know, THS has grown into a huge catalog of ideas that stretch from Time Travel to Doppelgangers to UFO’s to Consciousness Issues to Phenomenology and even more.

And, according to the stats of my host 1 and 1 - THS grew to 259,930 unique visitors in 2009, up from 195,854 in 08 and 72,223 in 07 (and 388 in 06) - and to over 419,000 page views in 09. Thanks so much for your reading support of esoteric ideas. Please continue to tell your friends that you have found a new blog with a whole lot of cool ideas to explore.

Now, with that all aside - let me first say - what you are probably saying - “this guy thinks he has ORIGINAL ideas? Give me a break.” — Ok, there, I said it. Now, let me try to fill a list up with just that, and, you be the judge. (I’m aware of Lennon or McCartney saying something to the effect that no ideas are original but just selected from what is available.)

Original Ideas

One of my more recent `original’ ideas was to blog about `Billion Year Old Entities’ — something that Greg Bishop at UFO Mystic said he had NEVER heard another speculate about before. I blogged about the possibility of such entities due to being tired of reading folks on various websites or forums make statements like `those aliens might be a hundred or a thousand years ahead of us’. Rarely do those folks even talk about beings being a million years more advanced. And that is what triggered my mind into thoughts about what BILLION year old entities might be like - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=118.

Another blog post that I’ve never read anywhere else is `IF The Government Discovered and Proved `Life After Death’ - would it be `disclosed’ to the public. (Well, have you ever read this elsewhere?) In this post I talk and speculate the reasons why such infomation - even if proved - might be withheld. http://theheavystuff.com/?p=104

Perhaps a little less original - but original in the sense of being talked about in ONE post - was my article titled `Aliens/Entities Objectified - Are There Four Types? - where I expanded the whole subject of entities to include what I see as ONLY four types - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=100.

Next - You know when something REALLY special happens - something rare that STICKS out and is instantly known and famous - like the Hudson River Jet Landing? — As far as I know - I was the only person to blog - How Could Hudson River Plane Crash Elation Not Have Been Picked Up By Even One Psychic? —– WELL? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=101

And, as far as I know and have EVER read - am I the only one to blog - Can The Collective Dead Of Humanity - Evolve? — And, this is NOT a small idea - it has lots of ramifications. A great read. http://theheavystuff.com/?p=91

And, how about a `collective dream appearing in space’ — like when I blogged Could An Oct.14th Alien Craft Display Be A Collective Lucid Dream Apprearing In Space? — anyone else? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=71

Or, have you EVER read anyone else blogging about Husserl? As in The Transformation of Ideas Through Temporal Characters - WELL? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=74

Or, have you EVER read someone imply that Might Alien Disclosure Mean Virtually Nothing? - HUH? Ever? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=68

And, who can you point out that has presented this idea? Have Chem-trails Stopped Global Warming? — I make a real good case for this - has anyone else? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=63

And, here is an idea I’ve covered more than once Could `camera’s’ Be Capturing - or Actualizing - a Virtual Reality? - is anyone else? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=60

Here’s another original idea I covered and should be a new lexicon - Does High Strangeness Overlap Strange Highness? - Get your Strange Highness in one place - right here - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=49

Or, have you ever read, anywhere, of someone suggesting Could the Human Population Level `Trip’ Cosmic Consciousness?- literally suggesting that a QUANTITATIVE answer may be behind an increase in consciousness - if it is occuring or to occur? Didn’t think so. http://theheavystuff.com/?p=47

Or, have you read someone that suggests that Doppelgangers are an escape from death itself? Anywhere? Pilot Doppelgangers - Escaping Death - (Doppelgangers are a favorite THS topic.) http://theheavystuff.com/?p=46

You also rarely read about anyone except Nick Redfern talking about Tulpas - but - even Nick doesn’t go this far - does he? Are Tulpas Everything Esoteric- Find out more about the Tulpa concept here - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=44

But, perhaps the one I am most proud of - my idea that the light seen at death is actually the SUN and an OBE/NDE - find that original stuff elsewhere? Going to the Light at Death - Part 3 - NOPE? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=36

Now, here is an idea I blogged about in 2007 and is NOW becoming more mainstream - Could Orbs be Dead Humans? - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=31

OR, have you ever - anywhere - heard or read someone talking or blogging about The Missing Space of Missing Time Incidents - Nope, only on THS do you find this kind of esoterica - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=25 (my first post that had over 1,000 hits in a day — 4,700 or so is the current most).

And, I’ll let you find out why these titles seem unique - The Six Horizons of Perception http://theheavystuff.com/?p=20 OR Did Houdini Escape Death? - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=18.

Now, hopefully, my mind is not played out - indeed I have 3 posts in reserve just waiting to explode including “Anomalous Realities - The Cosmic Crack” “The Possible Phenomenology Of Fortean Events And Anomalous Realities” and `Local AND Real - or - Realism OR Locality’? I hope you stick around until those become THS later in 2010 too.

I welcome your comments. OH, and PLEASE - go to my front page - unless you do - you don’t even register in my stats. And, on my front page you can see my last 15 posts on THS and the great blogroll for you to check out. Thanks again.

The Second Annual Top 10 Anomalous, Dubious, Hoax, Events And Links Of 2009

Hello, welcome back to what is now the second annual listing of The Top 10 Anomalous, Dubious, Hoax, Events and Links of 2009 - a year end tradition started here at The Heavy Stuff  (THS) last December (You can find a link to last years list at the bottom of this post.). And, this year, like last, we have a bevy of links that appeared on the internet that qualified as anomalous in many areas of ParaNormality - but - mixed in - of course, - we had the tricksters, hoaxers, and just plain unquantifiable information - which we have to include in this day and age of CGI videos and more. Indeed, the coverage by the MSM of the hoaxes is becoming part of the total Fortean story. Such is the state of the anomalous internet world of 2009.

And, with that, THS presents 2009’s Best Hoaxes, Anomalous Events And Dubious Links Listing: (In Reverse Order)

#10 - The Mind Reading Machine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwda7YWK0WQ On June 28th, the CBS newsshow 60 minutes aired this piece that proved that a machine can read specific thoughts in someones mind. Be ready to be blown away. Only 6,000 or so have seen this video.

#9 - What is using Bio-Sonar in Lake Champlain? http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/champ-sonar/ Now, here is a real mystery - not only that - the person that discovered this is no slouch; and is a real scientist who has discovered previous animals using sonar too. Great read.

#8 - WebBot prediction for November 27th Obama Alien Disclosure On TV and more. http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/2009/11/web-predicts-obama-alien-disclosure-on.html Perhaps the prediction that will put the Exopolitics movement on hold until next years National Press Club meeting. This link also includes links to the WebBot prediction about Andrew Basiago becoming planetary famous soon due to his discovery of life on Mars (If you follow the link you can find out what human life on Mars is like too.).

#7 - A 747 Jetliner UFO Hovers 100 Feet In The Alabama Skies - http://www.ufocasebook.com/2009/huntsville010909.html – Oh yeah. One of the strangest sightings of the year on Jan. 9th in Huntsville Alabama - great read - with super strange picture too.

#6 - OVER The Top UFO Video’s - As you know, for several years now, each year brings a few UFO videos that just seem too good to believe - but who knows - so, in that regard and with those word of caution - here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vUQIynCNYU&feature=related Texas - supposedly in 2008: http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/05/videos-ufos-captured-over-lahore.html Pakistan, April 27th, 2009:

#5 - Encounter With A Black-Eyed Child - http://from-the-shadows.blogspot.com/2009/04/encounter-with-black-eyed-child.html In the last few years more and more first person accounts of Black-Eyed `humans’ have emerged - here’s an account that will leave your skin crawling.

#4 Beast Of Gum Hill Bigfoot Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeL9c3HoWXU Filmed April 5th, 2009 in USA. One of the better ones as far as I’m concerned of this temporal entity. Here also is another Bigfoot video that emerged in 2009 - supposedly found in an attic type story and supposedly shot in the 1970’s - still, it’s worth a click http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/bf-pa77/

#3 - Champ Lake Creature Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT49LQMxthg - One of the very best, clear, surface, videos of something anomalous I’ve seen in quite awhile.

#2 - The Animals Of Mars - http://ufomedia.blogspot.com/2009/06/animals-of-mars.html You think I’m kidding don’t you? Well, take a look at these pictures - supposedly undoctored from NASA and from the surface of Mars  - and tell me what you think these are?

#1 Story Of The Year - ORBS

The change in how ParaNormalists viewed Orbs over the past decade has been evolving - no longer are they dust specks caught on camera or filmed on video. NO, in 2009 - Orbs have become a very hot commodity and are seemingly taking over some of the most interesting things happening in th paraNormal field. Examples of this include the UFO Orbs in the sky - which are again being `called’ (like last year) by certain individuals - such as can be seen in this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpPYymvNTfA and then here - same guy, different Orb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE-G7QtKgpU. But, calling Orbs in the sky is just one part of the evolving story about Orbs - for example - this year - more and more spirit Orbs are being seen with Entities INSIDE of them - here’s two links - http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/08/photo-new-orb-face-emerges-updated.html - http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/2009/07/face-in-orb-biological-entity.html - and, while these two remind you that it might be humans existing within these Orbs - this link, a series of 5 picture links you must see all of - might suggest that `Aliens’ may be riding in these Orbs - in what may be the Link Of The Year - http://supernaturalparanormal.com/abstraction-in-ufology/.

Some Thoughts About Orbs, The `Pennsylvania UFO Flap’ AND `V-Shaped Craft’

Hello, welcome to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - thanks for hitting the link or returning via your bookmark or subscription via leaving a comment. And, if you are a returning user to THS you know this is not a blog with a lot of blather about light topics or endlessly regurgitating the same points over and over - just so that they are in the current mix of internet fodder.

But, recently, www.anomalist.com has really picked up their examination of the UFO topic by carrying almost daily a summary found via another internet site http://www.examiner.com - and, consquently,  more and more often America and the world are being entertained to some pretty fantastic UFO videos - video captures - and UFO photos via cellphones.

Indeed, it’s picking up  to the point that because I have a daily anomaly/ufo  listing page on Squidoo at www.squidoo.com/AnomalyMan that I was contacted Saturday by a gentleman from Florida requesting that I look at some of his recent (this week) video of some strange crafts and lights in the Florida skies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxqfddL9a2Y&feature=channel - this is part2 of 4 videos if you search his channel. And, as I indicated to this gentleman after watching all four videos, — something seems to be going on in the skies at a more frequent interval than before — OR — the proliferation of cameras is indeed recording these `anomalous events’ at the same level they have always occurred, except that now, - with our 24 hour news and entertainment cycle and the instant internet — awareness is simply increasing throughout the population to these events.

That said, it IS the FREQUENCY of at least two things that I would like to indulge your mind with for a few moments today.

If you have been following this blog - fairly recently (within my last few posts) I did an analysis of a UFO report presented by RAND group at the end of the 1960’s - and one part of that report were `tables’ on the frequency of various characteristics of  UFO’s by `shape’ - such as `saucer’, oval, circle, v-shaped, etc - and other factors and attibutes.

And, it’s the `change’ in one of those shapes - the frequency that is - that I find of real interest. In fact, I would go so far as to say we really have at a minimum 3 - yes, three — NEW (or newish) shapes to the whole UFO phenomena umbrella. The first, would be the seemingly stark increase in V-Shaped craft-  `other two’ would be ORB’s and a variation of the ORB/CRAFT — the `ribbonlike UFO’ - seen and video’d  in Stephenville, and elsewhere, (including the Atlanta area) in the last year or two.

Indeed, one could even argue that there is even a newer variation in SIZE as some HUGE crafts have now seemingly been seen (such as in Stephenville and reported even by pilots - but never video’d as far as I know - which makes one wonder about the veracity) and, the incredible variety of sizes the whole `orb phenomena’ seem to represent - from the tiny to the fairly large (seemingly) when seen high in the sky.

Indeed, `orbs’ have moved, changed, or transformed, from  being the `light’ or circle captured in photos in the 80’s and 90’s via cameras (at this time they were thought to be ghosts/spirits/entities) - into - nowadays, via video camera -  full fledged `balls of conscious light’ - seemingly. Some of which seem to even be able to be `called’ or `produced’  by a few individuals.

Indeed, some Orbs have been filmed recently that `emerge’ from other `orbs’. And, sometimes it isn’t even just one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8bptMpkkjc indeed - if you watch Part 4 of the first YouTube link I gave  first, above, - you will see the same feature too - an orb begetting an orb. And, all of this type of `orb phenomena behaviour’ is seemingly new and seemingly developing.

All of which brings me back to the ongoing UFO Flap in Pennsylvania - take a look at these two videos - taken the same night about 80 miles apart and evidently of the same craft - http://www.examiner.com/x-2764-Paranormal-News-Examiner~y2009m8d12-Triangle-UFO-over-Murrysville-PA (do not miss the frame at 5:14 on this first video) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SU3nH1t3gc&feature=channel_page.

Now, the intriguing part of the above two videos is that THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IDENTICAL CRAFT recently. Indeed, this craft is seemingly running the same nighttime route - inviting - in a sense - the public to verify for themselves something is going on.

And, as I have said in previous posts, IF their are aliens in our atmosphere - one way they could `self-disclose’ their presence would be to do `regular flyovers’ at a frequency that would allow `waiting for them sightings’  by the common folk. Which is beginning to occur.

So, the question, is - is that what is going on? That the aliens are self-disclosing?  Or, is something else even more likely? Such as human based crafts being tested. Or, could it indeed, be both - which is what I’d like to share my thoughts on.

To me, and I’m sure many would disagree — both the Size issue and the V-Shaped craft issue - would seemingly BEG for a HUMAN explanation.  Yes, some sort of secret engineered crafts of human design. After all, why would `aliens’ suddenly change the number of a particular shape of their crafts? And, again logically, what need does an `explorer alien group’ have for HUGE mile wide crafts? Especially, just recently, all of a sudden? Whereas, IF humans have successfully engineered craft to float on anti-gravity or whatever — and if size were no limit — then I can certainly see governments wanting to have a few HUGE crafts if the planet needed to be evacuated for some perilous reason (huge asteroid). (Isn’t this what various factions of the UFO movement - say too - that we have back-engineered these crafts and have them ourselves too?) Frankly, it makes sense that a world elite would take care of such an evacuation method if it were available to them.

So, you ask - does it also hold that the ORB changes are human based too?

Well, as I’ve speculated in these pages before — I think most ORB’s or what I’m referring to as ORB’s — are in fact `humanbased’ in their ontology. (Notice I said most - as I also believe a limited number are more or less a cloaking of something solid.) I DON’T even rule out that the dead of humanity is evolving in some manner into accessing a higher consciousness level than before - if that idea appeals to you don’t miss my post at http://theheavystuff.com/?p=91. I would also suggest that the noosphere itself could be becoming more human consciousness based and able to produce an ORB response at given times. After all, we have 4-5 times the number of humans compared to even a century ago. (1.6 billion in 1900) Certainly, this may be some sort of quantitative response to the exponential increase in human awareness of the world.

Now, finally, my thoughts about the fact of the same UFO being filmed in multiple locations on the same night in PA, and, the supposed fact that this isn’t the first time the same craft has been seen taking the same route. To me, this is the most difficult one to pin down with a reasoned judgement and is the one that is the most ominous IMO.

Neither `aliens’ or `advanced human craft’ have a reason to WANT to establish a regular timing or routing of their craft - UNLESS - something is indeed potentially UP in the big political sense. What is being captured in these Pennsylvania videos is seemingly BIG news - indeed - it’s a wonder that TV stations are not staking such events out already (unless they are not allowed real investigation to keep their FCC license). Indeed, if we are to assume that it is `aliens’ crusing the skies and visible over hundreds of miles on a regular basis - if it continued - we could assume we are being conditioned by some protocol of engagement. Or, if we are to assume that it is `us-humans’ crusing the skies and visible over hundreds of miles on a regular basis - if it continued - we could assume we are being conditioned for the revelation of the advancement of human technology - leading us into some unknown future with a new world power structure in more ways than one.

The `Promise’ Of `Everlasting’ Life - And, What It Might Mean After We Are Dead

Being And Nothingness The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away,
Coming to take you away.
The magical mystery tour is dying to take you away,
Dying to take you away, take you away.

For most folks who claim to be `religious’ - the one frequently mentioned advantage to being a `follower’ is that it entitles one to `everlasting life’ — in a type of heaven, ….. or hell. But, does anyone really give that `promise’ of `everlasting life’ a close look - a close enough look to maybe say

`you know what - that really really doesn’t sound so good to me’.

I mean - do you really - really - want to be YOU —————- FOREVER?

If you are - perhaps you are more comfortable with being You - for eternity - than I am. And, if you are - perhaps you are less interested in `the unknown’ or the `what-else is there’ - than I am. Because, to me, I honestly don’t think I have any interest in being me —- FOREVER.

I mean it. Do you want to be YOU forever? For eternity? Without any chance to ever escape your own space? Without any chance to `reach a nirvana’ that involves losing one’s presence?

And, the hilarious thing is — we are talking about HEAVEN here. Certainly, HELL would NOT be something you would want to be as yourself - FOREVER.

So, that isn’t even a consideration about religion or real circumstance. We assume the afterlife to be free of pain or deep negative emotion. So, again, the premise of this post is - Heaven and Everlasting life.

Now, here - let us all take a leap of imagination - indeed, I’d like to use your mind for a minute or two to take a journey.

We first begin with the circumstances of your death - which in nealy all circumstances will not be ideal in terms of your state of being. Most likely you will have been in pain, in an altered consciousness state, or turmoil at some level, before `seeing the light’ of the next order for your being.

Seeing the light and being beyond having attractions within the world - you feel your space leaving your `body’ - and suddenly - you realize that your `space’ was more than your body - and you begin to wonder about this new `soul-space’ that you seem to have. You might even `see’ your dead or dying body `below’ you - now that your `soul-space’ has separated — indeed, the `confinement’ of what was once your body (often in pain) - and the end of all associated with it - seems to be a valid way to go - as you know all beings die - and it - evidently - now is your own spaces `time’. Ironically.

Eventually, you no longer `see’ your `dead’ `human’ body - but perhaps a few `dead’ folks can stay around `longer’ - even able to go to relatives in a `ghostly’ experience (to them) - some folks being very attached still to the emotions that one generates upon dying. Indeed, `some’ dead folks may thrive on the emotions still `in reality’ - and, to a degree - this could determine the `area’ of your `next’ ontological `space’ sequences.

But, while a `little’ of the experiences may be like this — it seems apparent that the vast majority of `human spaces’ that pass on - do NOT return in the immediate time-frame after their death to have REAL interactions with living humans. And, even those that seem to `become ghosts’ — don’t really seem to last forever.

Remember, we’ve had an estimated 100 Billion humans on Earth so far. SOOOOO - `everlasting life’, most likely, is not detailing anything about being a ghost. Who would ever want to be a ghost FOREVER. Nobody.  Indeed, if death’s experience is detailing any `area’ - it most certainly would be elsewhere than `here in reality’ - easily over 99% of the time.

Now, let’s continue playing out different death scenarios - and give me more time with your mind please.

So, this time - at death - don’t be distracted by the emotions of the living and take the view into the light. Turning away from the Earth and living Earthlings - will be a very scary thought - a thought of hope and fear.

The ultimate `what next’ turning for your space - with the overwhelming presence of an undeniable `light’. You remember the `instructions’ about going into the light - but - as a reader of The Heavy Stuff - you also remember that one caveat - that the light might or might not be God.

Because, the Light - might be the Greatest Light in this area of the universe. The light that always brought YOU life and everything you ever experienced — the Light - of the Sun. Our/Earth’s nearest star. Indeed, what you may suddenly realize is that your remaining `soul-mass’ - do to your intentions of going to the Light — have set you in motion for the greatest gravity center within 100 Trillion Miles - The Sun.

And, depending on how `close’ your perception space takes you - the Sun will appear to be overwhelming in every description - after all - this is the FIRST TIME in your LIFE (ironically) that you will be able to stare directly at this miracle of creation. This life giving instrument to all `rocky’ planets in the universe and most importantly - Earth.

Indeed, you may wonder if the Sun is indeed God. And, if your ’soul-space’ indeed merges with it - in the afterlife - you would realize - you wouldn’t be the first. It would be a sobering final realization.

But, perhaps you don’t rush for the Light. Perhaps you wonder where all the `previous dead friends’ are - that you had once in life? Shouldn’t `they’ be here - right now - for You? Isn’t that part of the lore too?

And, perhaps that `calling’ - those intentions’ will be all it will take - in the new ontological structure - for your `wish’ to `materialize’.

`Suddenly’ there `they’ are - just as you expected them. `They’ are going to show YOU a new path to follow. A space with new relationships, new actualization’s - `new’ eternal `life’ you begin to `think’. Perhaps they are even taking you to God or A God. And, the amazing thing is that you are going to find out `soon’ - `very very soon’.

And, perhaps, there will be an immediate Judgement. An immediate re-assignment for your `soul-space’ (could your `friends’ in the afterlife be leading you to a HELL?).  And, if you immediately `found’ yourself in a blazing hot location - would `losing your mind’ be a possible source of `relief’ of this eternity?

Or, likewise, perhaps you will hear immediate Harps and see blue skies and lo and behold - along with billions of others - you are sitting with some omnipresent being - just `beholding’.

But, if there is only ONE God - wouldn’t the deity be with - all beings of noteworthiness - beings from all planets or even spaces in which a being or entity existed? Wouldn’t that be a crowded place beyond belief?

Could that be the ultimate reward - really? One that YOU would want to have FOREVER?

Or, would merging with God be better? And, not having Foreverness! Is this promise of everlasting life - really so compelling if we don’t get to `leave our space’?

OR, would a more `humanish’ ending be more likely for a being of our overall consciousness level. After all, it’s not like we are chopped liver either. We are, seemingly, the most intelligent species in 100 Trillion miles - minimum. We have proposed theories which explain reality to moments after its very beginning. We are self-aware and know logic and emotion and symbol.

So, what if that means something like The Leslie Flint Tapes - which I’ve blogged about before in these very pages. If you are not aware of the tapes - they were seances conducted with the purpose to find out `day to day’ things about the afterlife. I urge you to research these tapes for they seem to provide what seems to be a very `truthful’ accounting for what `the afterlife’ might be like.

Give me your mind for just a bit longer.

What the various `reports’ from beyond suggest, is that `life’ is `similar’, but with changes over time.

At the beginning (of death’s life), one sees and meets with all the folks one knew in `life’ and seemingly - has `new’ relationships that build on the past experiences. But, with one twist, you won’t see the person as you knew them - supposedly - they will appear to you as the age THEY see themselves as - and that may be an age that you knew them at or not.

Yes, your dead grandmother might appear to be younger than you.

And, `things’ will change - as `time’ for your `soul-space’ goes onward.

The Leslie Flint Tapes suggest that as your `death-life’ experience goes onward - you will be less likely to use clothes and eventually - less likely to even eat. Indeed, your experience will be almost totally `self-motivated’ - with `places’ being less important - than `experiences’.

Meaning, the carpet layer will be laying carpets (perhaps with other carpet layers too). But, where the carpets are being laid - will not have a continuity with `being home’ - in the afterlife. YOU simply would `be home’ - without - the intervening `space’ of `places’ between - laying carpet and being home (after you were done laying carpet with the carpet layers like yourself).

If you remembered a particular person `that evening’ - You would BE with them. Immediately. Well, immediately, to YOU. (The other person might have a few to Trillions of experiences before mixing with your `next intentionality’. That said, I bet folks are at similar `busy levels’ in the afterlife - except if you were a Famous Person.)

As I said, time and place, in the ontological sense - will not be the most important attribute of actualization. Actualization will be based on intentionality’s and expectations. (Ontology will consist of missing space and missing time. But it will be unnoticeable after awhile.)

Finally, I’ve blogged this next idea before about the Leslie Flint Tapes - and that is - in the afterlife there supposedly are `enlightened ones’. How trippy is that? I repeat, in the afterlife there will be `entities’ `human entities’ who will tell you to worship this or that - to get to the `next level’ of existence.

What in the world are you going to make out of that?

Or, will you realize in your space after death - that - You are now, not even a body anymore - needing not to wear clothes, eat, and eventually, not even having a full body. Yes, eventually, one becomes essentially a `head space’ or yes - an idea of yourself.

Now, that is NOT to say that we all couldn’t have LOTS of fun for a long long time in this manner. But, eventually, even this limited ecstasy would become less than compelling. One might realize that `thousand year and million year’ entities are few and far between - all entities having `vanished’ in some manner. Eventually being `not able’ to respond to your intentionality’s any longer.

And, a realization that perhaps the `enlightened ones’ were right.

And, eventually, like the Dark Energy that is supposedly driving all matter apart - eventually isolating all space unto themselves.

And, having finally exhausted every `time’ for our individual space - every intentionality that we could ever imagine - we come to our individual end - thankful - that it did not go on forever.

But, ultimately, thankful for the Nothingness of Being.

The Phenomenology Of `Oneness’

Hello, welcome back to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - thanks for returning or for hitting the link on another website. If you are a returning reader - you may be familiar with my posts about what I call the Phillips Phenomenology - if not - and if you have some free time - here’s my internal link to that material http://theheavystuff.com/?cat=5. And, as I’ve referred to before in these posts - the Phenomenology came to me in `altered states’ in the 1970’s - almost as a ghost writing - as I had never even read any Phenomenology. Later, when I came across Edmund Husserl, I realized that I was writing about were very similar ideas and thoughts. And, as you may know, thoughts about Phenomenology - can be taken to almost any extreme - as is shown by Sartre’s book - Being and Nothingness (to me, the Heaviest book ever written).

But, today, I’d like to keep it all a little more basic and examine instead one of the underlying `ideas’ about `esoteric’ or altered states in general - and - that is the `idea’ that somehow - we - humans - are connected not only to each other (as of course we are thru our DNA) - but - are indeed - connected to the world and indeed the universe in a manner that can be interpreted by our consciousness as almost mystical. Some call it `oneness’ that they experience in these `higher’ states.

And, when the `altered qualitative state’ may be achived or experienced by humans - the best description - in general - is a `feeling’ or actualizing of `oneness’. It is the goal of many `states’ — from meditating states, certain drug states, to states of religious frenzy. And, those that experience `the special states’ often say it is one of the highlight experiences of their lives - often changing their very perceptions about `things’ - and especially about `connectiveness’.

So, what is `this oneness’ `state’ - that is so `connecting’ to so many `altered views of reality’ from the `common consensus’?

Well, what I’m about to suggest - isn’t as esoteric as you may think (or hope)  - as to the `connection’ - the reason - at the very base and basis of Phenomenology - for `all things’ being - connected. And, even better, largely it is `supported’ at least in my opinion - by what is known about Physics (in the broad laymen terms I will use). Are you ready to put on your thinking caps - and - ready for a thought exercise?

Ok, here we go. First, lets think about you and me. Humans. Existing in the `here and now’ - so we are `told’. And, in the macro sense - the most basic form of perception - that is exactly where we are. Here and Now.

BUT, you need to think deeper about this `reality’ you `see’. Because, obviously, what we `see’ is a `light reflection’ off of a surface (like off the surface of the things around you) - that is bounced (meaning taking TIME to reach you)  - to your retina and then interpreted by your brain. My whole point in this finite description is to emphasize that the outside reality of `here and now’ is NOT really - NOW. Let that sink in.

NO, that (what is seen by you) is `what was’ — `what they were’ (those other objects) - fractions of a second IN THE PAST. Yes, it (our visual reality) is from the PAST but IS part of YOUR OWN NOW. ONLY YOU HAVE A `CURRENT NOW’ as part of the reality you `see’ or experience.

Are you still with me?

That is why `the now’ can’t be changed, as it is already - except for your now intentions - `the past’. Let that sink in.

But, don’t feel so lonely as it appears that `Determinism’ might be more probable than `freewill’ - as you may be overthinking it. (You can find more about my thoughts about the freewill and determinism issue in the above link too.) Because, now, I’m about to take you down onto another look at our reality as humans - as - entities - things - in the universe.

Because, as you know, - if you `slowed’ us — humans - down — and looked - at `what we are actually made of’ - we find that - indeed, we are made up of electrons (and all that stuff - I’m gonna keep this simple) and that the atoms are further `made-up’ by other `smaller’ particles. And so on and so on.

But, what our science also knows is that these small components of `all things’ — all mass — all SPACES  (all humans) — ————– ALL of that — has `zillions’ of more `space’ between the particles than the size of the `particles’ themselves. It’s almost as if we are ghosts or `images of a space-mass’ - than a real thing like we `know’ we are in actuality.

For, in fact, `we’ - `any object’ - AT OUR VERY BASIS - are a `space’ - equal to ALL OTHER SPACES (made of the same material too) - all other things - a - connectedness - a `oneness’. The oneness is that we are all `space’ - with a simultaneous `experience of each other’ (remember, it takes our space of reflective now the same amount of `time’ to travel to the other space) — that said, only WE have OUR (real) NOW (that includes intentions too).

I’ve often had the thought and challenged others to tell me how my human `atoms’ are `more aware’ than the `atoms’ of a rock. What/Which atoms are conscious? `Where is the consciousness?’

So, while I feel that Oneness - as spoken about in the great perceptual experiences available to a human - is real - I think `the oneness’ basis is that we are all `SPACES with simultaneous nows’. This is EVEN TRUE as in our relationship with `things’ that are not close - even things in other parts of the universe. WE simultaneously `bounce’ off the rest of all spaces - every moment of counted time. (Or, as I like to say, and Husserl - our `running off’.)

But, there is another level too - much more related to human consciousness that seems to be able to `produce’ this `effect’ of Oneness. And, finally, I have to introduce you to the Phillips Phenomenology to talk about that `esoteric oneness feeling’.

First, almost 100% of our consciousness at ANY given moment will be part of what I call the `Not Able To Not Be’ - which IS the `reality we see’. Indeed, give it some thought — all that we `see’ (which is already the past) HAS TO BE — it has already occurred at it’s `space source’. Remember, everything we see - `takes time’ to reach our eyes and be assimilated into a reality picture.

 We, as humans, are VERY INVOLVED in the `Not Able To Not Be’ — in the `what has to be’ - indeed, it’s OUR REALITY - the determined Not Able To Not Be. Or, the HAS to be of our reality.

It is at this common, lowest, level that human consciousness `feeds’ its brain - its SPACE with data from. What we commonly perceive as the `flow of reality’. And, this `flow’ allows for `little reflection’ upon one’s own space - the only REAL `now’ of the `seen’ Not Able To Not Be.

Indeed, in the Phillips Phenomenology - consciousness can focus on different `levels’ of beingness. The lowest and common one - the Not Able To Not be - or - the next levels. (We spend 99% of our time focused on the Not Able To Not Be because our life and reality seems dependent on it. For example, if we weren’t - we’d crash our car, walk into a wall, etc.)

The next consciousness level `up’ is what I call the `Able-To-Not-Be’ — which ONLY is part of OUR now. Indeed, the `Able-To-Not-Be’ is exactly what the words suggest — it is `our part’ of `our consciousness’ that is ABLE TO NOT BE — the NOT ABLE TO NOT BE of our common reality. It is our `separateness’ - the thing that lets us -step back and be aware (of all the other spaces). A reflective state. A higher state. It is what makes us more than a computer (as we know them normally) or robot.

Those who meditate, go INTO, our (their)  own Able To Not Be - to meditate (the same with drugs or religious mystical states). Indeed, `when’ `there’, one can recognize that immediately it is a different state - it IS indeed, a higher level - a higher state. Indeed, it is the state that CAN access - true higher consciousness - `where’ the `oneness’ state IS.

BUT, in and of itself - it is NOT the oneness state. The ecstasy oneness state described in the literature you may be familiar with via reading esoteric materials. But, it IS close in a sense and IS the way one would reach the oneness state. Let that sink in.

So, `where’ or `what’ is the Oneness state?

The Phillips Phenomenology would suggest that `just beyond’ the consciousness state of Able To Not Be — is the NOT ABLE TO BE. And, yes, THAT is what the `oneness’ state IS. Indeed, it is the state that CAN occur if one abandons (or goes beyond) the already higher Able To Not Be state. It is where ones consciousness literally goes BEYOND the Able To Not Be - and that state - is rarely experienced directly.

Best described - it would be consciousness - CLIMBING up to BE - the NOT ABLE TO BE. The `realization’, if you will, of `the connection’ of EVERYTHING. The `connected’ SPACES we (and all things which are spaces) all have - within - OUR OWN `NOW’. The SPACE where we are real and have intentions.

Finally, the irony of `Oneness’ is that it relates to `the fact’ of our `determinism’ - the fact that OUR SPACE - the singular space that we all have - `occurs ONLY ONCE’ - is counted - and is actually NOT ABLE TO BE. A realization of the despair that confronts `us’ as a Space.

And that, connects us to the Oneness of the very Universe we live within.

Gallons Of Disclosure, Disclosure Everywhere - And - Not Even A `Sip’ Of `Confirmation’ To Drink

Two days ago I received an E-Mail from one of the top `ufo’ websites - providing me a heads up on the Ufo Disclosure that was happening in Brazil and perhaps Sweden too. And, like all of the recent `disclosures’ of decades old material concerning unidentified flying objects - the documents numbered in the 1,000’s if not 10’s of 1,000’s. All of these `disclosures’ getting 15 minutes of fame - at best - on the big media and really only lasting a few days on the internet buzz factor.

And, when such events happen - disclosure events that is - those perhaps 300,000 in the USA who actually care about the issue due to seeing a UFO themselves - or - the very very few, who actually think that the government has a shred of concern about truthfulness on things - tend to get all excited. Maybe even begin to think the time is closer for the USA to do such a thing.

But, like last month’s O’Hare UFO Video Hoax — does it really matter if `this’ is what `disclosure’ is going to amount to? A several foot high pile of old papers that look like they belong in some other era? With old stories of high strangeness that make the whole subject nearly inaccessible to 95% of people even interested in the general phenomena of UFOs? With many if not most of the `witnesses’ dead or now older folks with foggy memories?

It doesn’t even matter if the material within such `disclosure’ even has direct mention of `alien beings’ - really - as the `accounts’ amount really to a `subjective view’ of an eyewitness (and this is the level of belief the media gives it). Nowhere do we find the beyond a doubt objective proof - the beyond a doubt clear photograph or film evidence - or left behind calendar from another planet (or any artifact) — having to be `satisfied’ with the golly shucks `now what could that be’ - as the level of `concern-or-seriousness’ given to the experiences. No dead alien bodies, and no crashed spaceships.

NONE of these `disclosure countries’ (note how I’m putting disclosure with a small D) after the `release’ of the material has had their President saying — “So there it is folks - alien beings are in our skies“. NONE. NADA. ZILCH. What the hell kind of disclosure is THAT? Is THAT the kind of `disclosure’ coming to America? Some sort of `disclosure’ that DOESN’T INCLUDE some statement concerning a confirmation of `current alien intrusion’?

If so, - to me - don’t even bother - would be my advice.

But, frankly, this is how it probably will `come down’ - that is, without any confirmation - it’s the way politicians like to operate. Some `middle’ position that is most palatable to the `most’ that somehow is to be interpreted as `them’ doing the right thing for the sheeple. You know, being `transparent’.

Or, am I just too much of a cynic?
