Alfred Lehmberg: UFO Magazine Blog "Process Due..."

It always seems inaccurate to post excerpts from Alfred Lehmberg's writing, but here is a bit; please read the entire piece at UFO Magazine's blog:

UFO Magazine - UFO Magazine Blog - Process Due...: Working in my hydroponics, breathing air that's like a tonic, making things that save the Earth and bring her back; yes, lift our curse! Colonize the asteroids—bigger thoughts, and better choices, we could live in synergy if we got off our "scabby knees"!.
.
Simply put, it's not "respect" that keeps us mired and in debt! We're not kept our promises; they'd distort our common senses; some of us would break our oaths to wear that *better* set of clothes!
.
This WILL keep us from our fate, and tie us down with ropes of hate... which we don't need or even want if truth was more than nonchalant. Take a breath and draw it free as you come off your tortured knees, and take advantage of the wealth which staggers us with full stocked shelves! Enough's indeed a feast you see; what's best in life, indeed, is free!

RJStewart.org - Irish Faery Tradition

"RJStewart.org - Irish Faery Tradition: What is generally called the “faery tradition” is seldom understood in full…it is usually limited to the academic study of folklore. You know the kind of thing, visit grandmother, ask her about faeries, write the answers down or nowadays tape them…get a grant, publish a book. But grandmother is speaking with a voice that comes down to us from prehistoric times…she is not merely relating quaint countryside Irish beliefs. Not at all…she is telling us that the land is alive teeming with energetic spiritual forces that over the centuries, the millenniums even, became personified as myriad forms: some human, some animal, some a mixture, theriomorphic forms that combine human, bird, animal, fish. Most of all, she is telling us stories about how to live, how to relate, how to be integrated within the living land. You will not get a government grant for that."

Is the Russia Prison System Working Pussy Riot Member to Death? | Alternet
February 1, 2013  |  

 

 

An incarcerated member of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot has been hospitalized for illnesses related to prison work , reports the Associated Press . Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has reportedly been suffering severe headaches since last spring, when the 23-year-old began serving her two-year sentence on hooliganism charges.

fragments, found: For Jack

A little while ago I started a blog for just my fictional writing, an area I was working in before I found myself tumbling down the rabbit hole of high strangeness. This poem, For Jack, is about a good friend of ours who passed away a year or two ago.

Saturness: I'm not a Zoltar machine!

Good advice and story about reading when you're tired, but also, when the "client" isn't really serious or has clear intent.

Saturness: I'm not a Zoltar machine!: ou shouldn't read when you're almost falling flat on your face, but that is not the reason why I considered that night a cartomantic disaster. Nope. The problem is that none of them had actual questions. They all wanted to know about their love lives, of course, but... there was no intention behind their inquiries. In fact, they would copy the question of the last person, because there was nothing they really wanted to know about.

A long time ago I wrote a post about the importance of intention when doing card readings. When you approach the cards with a vague, mildly unimportant question, the cards don't give your their best. They give you equally vague, and sometimes rather unimportant answers.

And this:

The truth is that I felt a bit exploited. I love to look at card reading under a humorous light and no, I don't believe that the fabric of space and time will unravel if the cards are not respected. But divination is what I do and I put a helluva effort into it. And I just realized that when people come and ask for a reading just because they found no better way to waste their time, they end up sucking the marrow from my very bones - and from my very cards. Why? Because they put no effort in it. They don't care about the answer, they are being entertained.

Black Dahlia Murder Case Gets New Life After Dog Smells Death Scent At Suspect's Home

Black Dahlia Murder Case Gets New Life After Dog Smells Death Scent At Suspect's Home: A specially trained dog is helping to breathe new life into the Black Dahlia case that has gone unsolved since 1947.

On Friday, the San Bernardino Sun reported that author Steve Hodel teamed up with retired police Sgt. Paul Dostie and Buster, a Labrador retriever trained to detect the smell of human decomposition.

The trio searched the basement of Hodel's father, George Hill Hodel, a Los Angeles doctor who, the author believes, is the Black Dahlia killer.

On January 15, 1947, 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, known as the Black Dahlia, was discovered brutally murdered in a vacant lot near the intersection of 39th Street and Norton Avenue in South Los Angeles.

Somewhat Disturbing Valentines

I love vintage seasonal cards. Here are a few vintage Valentine's Day cards that struck me as just a bit weird:

Elderly Woman Reveals Family Secret On Video: UFO Lands in Corn Field and 'Little People' Exit The Craft

It's stories like these that makes us keep going in the Fortean realm:

Elderly Woman Reveals Family Secret On Video: UFO Lands in Corn Field and 'Little People' Exit The Craft: One sister started talking about a story her father, my great, great grandpa made her promise to never talk about, but since she was over 90 years old she didn't think it mattered anymore. She was very flustered still just talking about it. The best we can tell, this event took place in the Logansport, Indiana, area in approximately the 1890s or so, maybe earlier, maybe later.

... On this particular day, she could not find her father or grandfather. She then heard them yelling at her to get inside the woods nearby and hide. She complied and that's where they began telling her that they had been watching some sort of flying machine that didn't make any sort of noise flying around the field. They supposedly watched little people get out of the craft and take pieces of corn and soil, and then they flew away. The uncle and father had been hiding in the woods for some time afraid to leave.

Jan. 26, 11:38 p.m. ET —Full Wolf Moon: Amid the zero cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages.

Women Of Esoterica: Are Archons Greys? by Usko Ahonen Md.

Women Of Esoterica: Are Archons Greys? by Usko Ahonen Md.: Very much a must read:Are Archons Greys? by Usko Ahonen Md.

The following quote resonated with me. However, the article is primarily about the Gnostics and the Archons.

To the horrified astonishment of Dr. Castaneda, the elder sorcerer Don Juan explained how the human mind has been infiltrated by an alien intelligence: “We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile and helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so.”

The late Harvard professor John Mack wrote that “a number of shamans with whom I have spoken, from native cultures of North and South America, Africa, and Australia, know of, or have had encounters with, beings that have properties much like the grey aliens that visit abductees in the United States and other Western societies. Each culture has its own name for them. According to these shamans, beings of this sort have been around for thousands of years and seem to have a great interest in the face of Earth, functioning as its scavengers or protectors depending on the particular shaman's experience or point of view.”

The above reminded me of two experiences I had several years ago. One, involving a green reptilian type entity (though not the typical alien-reptilian often portrayed as "the Reptilians") and the other, a cape used by a Central American shaman.

Skinwalker Ranch Dire Wolf Synchronicity

image source here

Reading Whitley Strieber's fictional work, Beyond 2012, the Omega Point. Just read the part where a character is writing in his journal about events and "time movement." He mentions the Skinwalker ranch in Utah, specifically, the wolf like creature that was seen there:

"...I recognized the animal to be a dire wolf. .. the dire world was rendered extinct by... the last Ice Age. And yet, here it was on this ranch. I think that this animal had moved through time...there was something about the place... in its own time, this animal was experiencing incredible fear. Its world was collapsing... most of Utah was flooded along with the rest of the United States by rapid glacial melt. .. given pressure extreme enough and the right conditions, actual physical movement through time must be possible." (Strieber pp83-84)

Last night, listening to Coast to Coast, a female caller recommend reading Vallee, and said that the events at the Skinwalker ranch (among other unexplained encounters) was due to our imagination. Not in the sense we are making things up, but that there is another dimension, or place, where all these things exist. Opening ourselves up via imagination causes us to see these things. (That's what I got from her anyway.)

Two different takes; Strieber, via his character, suggests that time lines exist concurrently and, due to events in one time line, another time can abruptly appear. The other; that our minds somehow allow us to see these other realities, for whatever reasons, being open to the possibility among them.

Dollar Store Book Finds

The other day I found this book, brand new, at the Dollar Tree: Dracula, the Undead, by Dacre Stoker. Dacre Stoker is the great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker, author of the classic Dracula. I haven't read the book yet -- reading my other dollar store book find right now. Here's a blurb from Amazon on Dracula the Undead:

"The official sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, written by his direct descendant and endorsed by the Stoker family. The story begins in 1912, twenty-five years after the events described in the original novel. Dr. Jack Seward, now a disgraced morphine addict, hunts vampires across Europe with the help of a mysterious benefactor."

I'm looking forward to reading this, I love good Vampire stories (not the slow motion teen angst of Twilight stuff) and I also love the time period of the late 1800s into the early 1900s. So. My other book find, for a buck, at the Dollar store: Whitley Strieber's The Omega Point: Beyond 2012. I wasn't going to get it at first, not sure why, haven't read Strieber in years. Though I do keep up with him and respect him. But something made me go back and pick up the book and I'm glad I did. I haven't finished it, but so far, it has really kept my attention! I'll be posting more on the book at Animal Forteana and UFO Mary.

Just saw this on Mike Clelland's blog:hidden experience: Graham Hancock on UFO abductees, shamans and owls. You can't go wrong with this combination; Hancock, abductees, shamans and owls! I haven't had a chance to watch this yet, but I'm sure it's worth watching, as Mike suggests.

Jailed Pussy Riot member complains of "death threats" - Yahoo! News

The MSM and the world culture seems to have forgotten about the members of Pussy Riot. But they are still here, and this is the current state of things for one member:

Jailed Pussy Riot member complains of "death threats" - Yahoo! News

: MOSCOW (Reuters) - One of two jailed Pussy Riot members said she received death threats and complained of abuse at a prison colony where she is serving a two-year sentence for a punk protest against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral.

But Maria Alyokhina and fellow group member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova said they did not regret the protest, despite describing harsh prison conditions in interviews published on Wednesday by the opposition-leaning Novaya Gazeta newspaper.

Alyokhina, 24, who lost an appeal this month to have her sentence deferred to care for her five-year-old son, said she was transferred to solitary confinement in November after being threatened by inmates she suspects of acting on the orders of prison officials.

"(They said) if you stay in this unit - that's the end of you... Human rights are grossly violated here," said Alyokhina, who is being held at a penal colony in the Urals Mountains region of Perm.

The members of Pussy Riot were jailed because they did a street performance in front of a church. Specifically, they were found guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." Cries of "blasphemy!" followed and so, in an ironic act, those offended Christians behaved decidedly un-Christian like -- and more Taliban-like - participated in the sentencing of Pussy Riot members.

Help wanted: 'Adventurous' woman to give birth to ... a Neanderthal baby? - Cosmic Log: "Pioneering Harvard geneticist George Church suggests that the day is coming when we'll want to reverse-engineer the Neanderthal genome and pass the now-extinct creatures' advantages to our own progeny. All that's needed would be an "extremely adventurous female human" to serve as a surrogate mother."

Sean Casteel: An Occult View of UFOs and the Paranormal

Liked this article by Sean Casteel very much --  on Maria D'Andrea, at UFO Digest:

An Occult View of UFOs and the Paranormal: As with many people who encounter the UFO phenomenon, Maria D’ Andrea’s experiences began in childhood. Maria is a native of Hungary, and in 1956, she fled along with her family from the coming tyranny of the Communist revolution raging all around her there.

“Basically,” Maria said, “I was hearing about UFOs at that point because, when we were escaping, every now and then people would look up and look for them. We were used to hearing about them.”

It was also around the young age of eleven or twelve that Maria had her first personal UFO experience.

“I was going out-of-body,” she explained. “It wasn’t a physical experience. It was through astral travel.
