A quirky coincidence. Diana Pasulka calls it the book encounter...which I really appreciate her naming this phenomenon. In 2001, after I prevented a fire in my friend's three story brownstone in Seattle through a powerful nagging intuition to go back to her apartment (where we found a three wick candle left burning and a smoke filled hall from the bamboo window shade about ready to ignite) I decided I was going to figure out what that nagging intuition was. My search led me to 'Twice Sold Tales' a used bookstore that I frequented, but I had never looked into New Age anything before. It's where I found "Miracles of Mind" written by Russell Targ and Jane Katra. I read it and found that Russell Targ explained my experience quite well. His interpretations, views, and of course his work at SRI informed his writings. I went down to meet him when he offered a workshop in Palto Alto a few years later (2004). Then I saw him again at Sol (2023) and then again at Contact in the Desert (2024) where he leaned over in a quasi conspiratorial manner and said quietly, "Wanna know a secret?" I laughed and leaned in equally as conspiratorially and replied, "You know I do." He said what he found in all his research on health and healing was that when people perseverate on their health with an extreme they have a higher mortality rate. So seeing this post by Rudolph Steiner saying the same thing brought that whole series of events back into my awareness this morning and of course being back in the area I've had flashes back to that workshop Russell did and I remember I did pretty well on the task (it was the object-in-a-bag task). I brought a friend with me and asked him to keep an open mind. At the end of the workshop he thought it was all bogus. Lol. Keeping a good skeptic around you at all times is a really good idea to stay balanced. Its amazing to see how things have come full circle after 25 years now in this field. It certainly is a journey. One that I'm told just continues expanding more and more as you get older.

So happy to be in the region for this... Tulip Day 2026: 80,000 Free Tulips in Union Square in San share.google/8CwJzgULWAdJIR…

“And what is death but an emancipation from time? That is of course only on condition that death really means death, not an entry into another consciousness or another sphere. For Proust, the only real escape from life was into art and, through unexpected memory, into the golden moments of the past, always yielding a magic that is impossible in the present. But for Beckett even art was not enough. He saw it as a trap to turn our eyes away from the realities of life and the true horror of our predicament: facing the horror was for him the only way to be really alive.” — John Calder, The Philosophy of Samuel Beckett

Carl Jung was not playing around

When I asked Ed May in person at the Archives of the Impossible why sections of Grill Flame would still need to be classified after all these years (as recommended by Jacques Valle) his answer was intriguing. He basically said in some of these instances its not about whats inside the programs necessarily, it could be something potentially incriminating about someone specifically (like a project manager for example) inside the files. Interesante no?

Its a real thing...take care of yourself.

Carl Jung was not playing around when he wrote: “No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown allies will come and seek you.”

According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, Palantir is "the new Jeffrey Epstein". "If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things." "You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era." "The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing." "Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress." "But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain." "And that's how we got Palantir."

“I have some discomfort both with believers and with nonbelievers when their opinions are not based on facts. I am extremely uncomfortable with dogmatic atheists, who claim there can be no God; to my knowledge, there is no strong evidence for that position. I'm also uncomfortable with dogmatic believers; to my knowledge, they don't have any strong evidence either. If we don't know the answer, why are we under so much pressure to make up our minds, to declare our allegiance to one hypothesis or the other?” — Carl Sagan, Interview for U.S. Catholic magazine

Being in CA and Silicon Valley I'm seeing some regional posts I might not otherwise get from the algorithm....and of course Peter Theil makes an appearance in the sub posts.

“The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.” — Aldous Huxley

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

Everything they feared from UAP disclosure has happened a hundred times over anyway in the last 50 years without UAP disclosure. We need a global change, and that starts with disclosure. #UFOTwitter #EndUAPSecrecy

Whats the good word @InterstellarUAP on the college Bigelow was establishing? I had heard it was a U.S. version of Arthur Findlay. Inquiring minds.....

Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet. Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive. Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it.
