The Journey Across Forever, Wayne Saalman – Amazon: a non-fiction collection of essays detailing the author’s metaphysical insights and paranormal experiences over the decades as he travelled the world in a quest for truth and enlightenment.

Traveling in circles that included many well-known 60's icons, topics include precognition, karma, reincarnation, shamanism, psychotropics, and the three forms of magic, among others. The Foreword of the book is by Colonel John B. Alexander, Ph.D. 

Endorsement - The Journey Across Forever is a phenomenal experience. It is a book that dares the reader to push past the veil and explore the realms of possibility. A must-read! - G L Davies, Author of Harvest: The True Story of Alien Abduction

Author Bio: Wayne Saalman is an American novelist, poet, painter, musician and songwriter. He has specialized in fictional thrillers with plots that center around advanced levels of technology and freestyle spirituality.

In this interview, we talk about an experience the author had in the Great Pyramid in Egypt that could have gone extremely bad but didn’t, quite possibly thanks to some amazing higher power. He offers details on one of his UFO sightings which might well have been carrying two friendly “humanoids”. He collected a rock in Australia - only to later discover that it was an Aboriginal power stone inhabited by a noncorporeal Dreamtime entity. And there is a hidden gem - an encounter with a woman who provided information indicating there is at least one loose thread that could add more weight to the JFK conspiracies.   

Dedicating the book to Robert Anton Wilson, Saalman credits Cosmic Trigger as life changing and was delighted to eventually connect with Wilson, who subsequently wrote Introductions to two of his own novels: The Dream Illuminati and The Illuminati of Immortality. Saalman says Wilson introduced him to the idea of taking a syncretistic approach to life and the idea of being what he calls an “agnostic mystic”. 

As Saalman explains, "a “syncretist” is a person who draws on all of the arts, sciences and spiritual traditions which exist right around the globe in order to put together what I think are credible answers to these mysteries."

He says, “The Journey Across Forever, therefore, is a synthesis of the insights that make the most sense to me after decades of attempting to take all things into consideration, whether of a scientific, spiritual or metaphysical nature. Ultimately, I look at the whole as being greater than the sum of its parts and The Journey Across Forever offers a comprehensive review of the answers that seem to me to be the most feasible and enlightening.

Merging Dimensions - Tom Dongo, Linda Bradshaw. New Edition, Amazon Affiliate Link

Summary of Merging Dimensions: "To the best of my human ability I will share in exact detail all types of incidents that I have, to this point, experienced in relation to this fascinating area. These, I believe, are indicative of many things to come."

Sedona, Arizona resident (several decades), paranormal researcher, documenting hundreds of paranormal events and UFO sightings. Tom talks about the experiences he and Linda had during the 4 years he accompanied her in exploring the Bradshaw Ranch.

Unusual sounds, Unexplained lights, Orbs, Sasquatch, UFOs. Additional information and photos are in the updated version of his book - co-written with Linda Bradshaw (deceased) - Merging Dimensions.

Amazon Reader Review - edited: "Fascinating and easy to read, I found myself wondering about this very large universe and all of the strange goings-on that people have been reporting for thousands of years. Are they right? Who can say? Life is a strange tapestry of events, and the authors(s) views and beliefs are as good, or better, than many other that I have read."

One of the most frightening encounters was something that roared like a lion and terrified the horses. An even bigger mystery was when they located the tracks. They vanished. That event is documented on the new show, Beyond Skinwalker, a spinoff of Skinwalker Ranch on the History Channel.

The show investigates other paranormal hot spots that share similarities with Skinwalker Ranch. What might set the Bradshaw Ranch apart is the resident sasquatch, Big Girl.

Tom has several books documenting the extraordinary and unexplained events in Sedona, Arizona. Available on Amazon. Affiliate Link.

Following up from my blog post: Subtle influence – a test of presence. If not my thought, Who goes there?

Hearing voices that others don't is a challenge. I hear spirit guides, and that experience is positive. The not so positive aspect is hearing voices that express an intent to harm.
 
The difficult part is finding the language to explain their presence and offering tips on how to determine intent. Some voices are helpful. Others are not. The easiest way to identify a contrary voice/entity that is not on your side is to ask the question: Does the voice advocate/suggest self harm or harm to others?

A recent trip to the gas station was more of an adventure than expected. And it provided me with the perfect example of [a negative voice] an interaction with a contrary entity/being intent on creating turmoil.

When in doubt about the origin of a voice - Pause. Reflect. Focus. Do no harm.

Winks from Above: Opening Up to Signs and Synchronicities to Receive Little Miracles Each Day, Amazon. Liliane Fortna

{We talk about a Fifi - the frog who lives in Liliane's pond. She sent me a photo and I am including that in a blog post. Here is a link.

Liliane's background is diverse: Energy Healer, Dancer, Model, Explorer, Traveler, Author. What she wants to share is how she was guided throughout her life - even when she didn't know it - and how helpful it can be when you learn to connect with that unseen presence. She is teaching others now and has plans to continue writing with the hope of offering 2 more books aimed at younger children and teenagers.

Later in the interview - appx. 50 min. - she shares the method she used to help her granddaughter clear her space of a stink bug. She helped her redirect her focus from her discomfort to simply asking the bug to go away. The bug responded and honored the request as they did that special exercise. 

The book is an exploration of the invisible realm that human senses often can’t perceive. Liliane talks about a difficult childhood and the issues she dealt with in regard to overcoming personal health challenges and illness - how she received help from other intuitives, healers, and mediums.

Endorsement: “This book provides practical tips for cultivating and deepening relationships to the highest sources of guidance and conveys hope to draw upon them in times of personal trial.“ - Joe Gallenberger, PhD, Author of Inner Vegas, Liquid Luck , and Heaven Is for Healing. (My interview with Joe is available: at this link.)

Music is healing.

Relaxing music can lower the production of cortisol, which lowers stress and in turn lowers elevated heart rates and blood pressure: Hopkins Medicine.

Bio: Jason Eastwood started playing the guitar at age 11 and, over the last four decades, the instrument has been an extension of his mind, body and soul.

(Star turn at an early age: chosen for his resemblance, he played a young Burton Cummings in a CBC special. He was 8 years old. Youtube.) 

2014 To help manage stress, anxiety, and chaos of the music industry, Jason turned to yoga and meditation. Studying healing music from around the world, he incorporated those elements into his own music.

He found his niche when asked to provide background music for yoga classes. Requests followed and the music flowed.

Guitarfulness.com was founded in 2018. Since then Jason has released 33 albums and sold over 100,000 CDs and Downloads.

"Scholars the world over and through time have placed the lost island continent in various locations, from Antarctica, to the Americas, to Plato's own coordinates outside the Straights of Gibraltar near the Azores. Why the confusion? Michael explains.

Visions of Atlantis: Reclaiming our Lost Ancient Legacy, Amazon, by Michael Le Flem, further explores the story of Atlantis by including relevant and fascinating esoteric material.

"Clairvoyant impressions from Edgar Cayce, Frederick Oliver, Rudolf Steiner, Barbara Hand Clow and others supplement a concerted scientific, philosophical and historical investigation of humanity's antediluvian achievements and Atlantis' tragic demise."

Divided into three parts: the first part examines the historical and archaeological evidence for Atlantis, the second part looks at the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Atlantis, and the third part explores the potential impact of Atlantis on our modern world.

Le Flem also discusses the possibility that Atlantis may have been a source of ancient knowledge about the nature of reality.

The story of Ted Owens is a challenge for skeptics. The PK Man: A True Story of Mind Over Matter, Amazon - by Jeffrey Mishlove  Forward by John E. Mack

Ted Owens claimed he had been visited by extraterrestrials (ETs). He said the ETs taught him how to use his mind to control objects and events, a power that he called "psychokinesis" or PK. Owens claimed he used his PK abilities to predict future events, such as the outcome of sporting events and the stock market. He also claimed that he used his PK abilities to help people, such as by healing the sick and preventing accidents.

Jeffrey Mishlove saw more than a few demonstrations. Enough to say Ted did indeed possess abilities that are beyond explanation.

Regarding his temper and creating disturbances or causing physical harm when aggravated, Jeffrey says he experienced the effects of one of those negative outbursts. Ted acknowledged (without being confronted or accused) his actions and apologized.  

Amazon Reviews -
1. "The reason this book is on my keeper shelf is because of the valuable exercises in Chapter 11. I found them to be empowering and unique. If you are interested in developing abilities or honing what you have, have a look at them."

2. "I knew Mr. Owens from about 1970 to 1973 and have read other books, magazines and articles about Ted, or written by Ted, or his preferred biographer, Otto Binder, who wrote the original comic "I Robot" which later became famous for Isaac Asimov as a book."

Psychic, Clairvoyant, Seer, Ghost Hunter, Remote Viewer, Handwriting Analyst, Speaker, Author.

As has been pointed out to me, there are several EVPs in this conversation.

Bio: The English Psychic - Paula Roberts is a British-born psychic who has been practicing her craft for over 40 years. Known for her accurate readings and her ability to connect with people on a spiritual level. Roberts has worked with celebrities, politicians, and everyday people alike, and she has helped them to gain clarity on their lives and make positive changes.

She first became aware of her psychic abilities at a young age, when she would often see and hear things that other people could not. As she got older, she began to explore her gifts and eventually decided to make a career out of them.

In 1978, Roberts moved to New York City, where she quickly established herself as a leading psychic. Paula Roberts and Ingo Swann collaborated on a number of projects related to remote viewing, including her 'visits' to the Moon and the Great Pyramid'.

```
She talks about what happened when she touched Marilyn Monroe's bed and details some of the extremely haunted houses she has encountered -- and says she has no interest in living in a house that active.

Her remote viewing experiences with Ingo stand out due to the fact that it was so easy for her to access sites at his suggestion. And yes, just like Ingo, she sensed other presences on the moon. She believes that her RV work was documented and is in a file somewhere but the records have not been made public.

She does, however, have the very rare honor of having her life's work (so far) in the Library of Special Interests in the University of West Georgia. This is where Ingo's work is also stored, and both are available for study. Her archive includes, amongst a great variety of subjects, many years of her world predictions in the New York Post for Cindy Adams.

Paula is featured in the film: Kybalion. "The Kybalion is a documentary film adaptation of the widely popular but underground occult text of the same name, which explores the “Seven Principles” that govern the universe."

Available for Private Readings and Compatibility in Relationships
of all kinds, Lectures, Paranormal Investigations, Events. Paula's website.

Paula is featured in a Remote Viewing Community chat hosted by Daz Smith. Link.
