Disassociation is a trait that is often overlooked when trying to grasp the mental make up of those who are interested and appreciate the paranormal. What do I mean by 'disassociation'? It is the ability to leave this reality and go elsewhere in your mind and see things that others are unable to see because they are not looking and are just fine with their monday night football, Fox News reports, and BBQs on the weekend. Those who disassociate, they may try to do these things to feel normal, but they most often fail and have a general sense that something just isn't right with the single channel shown to them as 'the way to live' every day.

In conspiracy literature, the idea that stands out as being shared most commonly amongst its writers is, unsurprisingly, the concept of the matrix: we are all being lied to in every way, shape, and form, and because mankind is so stupid, they can’t wake up from the fiction presented to them by the powers that be and live life the way it was meant to be lived....

You paint dots over the surface of reality using your memories, drawing pictures in the jumbled mess by tracing from one focal center of the past to the next, looking for a larger picture in it all that expresses something about the nature of what you have just been through, something that expresses “you”. That picture says “This is my life. This drawing I made which connects all these things that has happened, this is me, so this is how I should function in the future.” But that picture you just painted of yourself through those people, places, and things that have occurred to you in the past—that picture is no different than a face you have simply imagined into the clouds. Clouds shift. Things change.

If the universe is nothing more than a holographic lie, doesn’t this give us all permission to write our own lies directly into the fabric of the universe like the Sons of Seth do? The builders of the illusion? What gives them the right and not us? Only one reason: they know it’s all bullshit, and we don’t accept that, while we preach everything is illusion at the same time.

You can look at everything in two ways: it has meaning, or it is meaningless. It is intentional—or it is random. And most of the time, you have difficulty deciding which is which, because when you review an event that has happened to you and you twist it around in your head as if it were a cube in your hand, you can see it both ways---laced with purpose, or you can see all that purpose as just wishful thinking.

Years ago I ran across a question in a book called Fuzzy Logic while I was a teen. The simple (and often used) premise was that there is no black and white—only subtle shades of gray, and we should keep this in mind while we form all of our thoughts about reality. To illustrate the concept in the book, a simple question was asked: at which point does someone become bald?

The different refractions of light, or modes of thinking, or processes, were given names. To the christian mystic, they would have been the names of the angels and the demons. Each angel would be a puristic example of a process that the mystic could channel. Each demon, the same. I used to be relatively confused when reading occult literature. I asked myself, why in the world would someone pray to God just before summoning a demon? Now it makes a bit more sense...

Many people would probably find this an irony, as those involved within the world of conspiracies, ghosts, and UFOs are generally considered to be so open-minded that they might as well be reclassified as vacuous. Wasn’t this mindset exactly what the school system had been set up to prevent? But I didn’t care—there was something important inside—but what?

Picture a fistful of sticks of the same length. In your grip they are long enough to extend in two directions at once--above and below your fist, in equal amounts. Each of these sticks represent a particular quality--below your fist shows the extension of qualities within you, and above your fist shows extensions of qualities outside of you. Both are joined somewhere within the fist and cannot be separated at all. That fist is your consciousness.

I have hoisted my flag, set sail in the breeze created by me and others like me. The wind may be rough, but in my solitude, I do not feel it, I do not hear it. I sit, a light-weighted soul upon the floor of my boat, breathing deeply as the world around me tosses, turns. The singularity beneath us all may be our destiny in this storm--but our lonely portholes and creaking floor boards of our imperfect boats remind us of the very thing we all seem to consistently forget: an appreciation of our own immortality.

There are two very simple responses people have when faced with the knowledge that they are helplessly not in control of their world: on one side, you have the people who believe that governments have been created to represent the people, and since their government or a collusion of governments does not represent them in particular, they seek to break this misrepresentation until they believe the people in power truly reflect their own values.

What is a shaman? It is a person trained in the art of moving something called their assemblage point. An assemblage point is like a viewpoint, but more powerful and terrifying. A viewpoint exists in a system, whereas an assemblage point exists in an entirely different world that is so strange, words to describe it are usually not even known—except to other shamans who explored the same place through a similar ritual.

I get the impression that I should have a charge, that this is the purpose of life—to enjoy and feel, or to hate and calculate. But so far, my hands and heart have turned up empty.

Skeptics claim that channeling is a flight of fancy, and the Ouija pointer moves because of inadvertent shared nerve impulses. Anything that occurs during a channeling or an Ouija session, to a skeptic, occurs because minds that claim to be “opened” should be reclassified as vacuous. It is quite possible, however, that both perceptions are based upon a misunderstanding of what channeling actually is.

Through analogy, I can visualize a direct correlation to each element in nature to something that is occurring internally. Depending upon which side of the brain your universe often relies upon, this will either strike you as useless dream-like drivel or a powerful meditation.

They jam a stake in the ground, hook up a tape measure, and start walking. It's reasonable to assume that they might discover the plot of land is not big enough, and as a result, they pick up their measuring tape, leave the stakes in the ground, and walk away.

This morning in chicago, WGN invited a fisherman on the news who said he and his family saw a UFO on the lake in Northern Michigan. Now, as a typical sighting goes, this one was pretty typical.

And now by some godawful strange coincidence, you've discovered a growing interest in taking the next step--researching. Helping out the UFO community. What do you do? Where do you go? What is the next step you can take?
