Humility is key in awakening to higher dimensions

“Philip K. Dick was more than a visionary: he’s the man who remembered the future.” – James Rogers

One who aspires to greater awareness learns to respect the unknown to gain access to levels previously hidden from view – that revelation calls reality into question.

Moon shot

There we were – managing to locate the comet framed by twin stars, high in the west sky. (Andy could actually see it – the only person who could.) However, neither Andy’s camera nor my phone camera could sight the darn thing.

We lucked out. The guy who showed up next to us got some great shots with his comet tracker app and his 500 zoom lens (with the same camera Andy has: 350 Zoom lens. Bummer). Bonus: The guy told us about the ghost at the place he works.

We turned to leave and saw the moon rising in the east. I got that instead.

Expanding the comfort zone – Introductions to others among us

“If there are other worlds parallel to ours, are all the doors closed? Or does one, here or there, stand ajar?” – Louis L’Amour, The Haunted Mesa.

Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona is like Skinwalker Ranch in Utah – a very active site with multiple accounts of high strangeness events. The documentary I’ve linked includes testimony from paranormal researcher Tom Dongo (I’ve interviewed Tom. Link).

This isn’t a rehashing of previous History Channel presentations. Footage includes a trek to view sasquatch footprints, interactive orbs, portals, and tech that reveals the image of an [invisible to human eyesight] entity that can appear to have a form similar to humans. Link.

Which reality to choose?

I am following Nick Cook’s progress on his new book, now on Chapter 16. Subscribers [paid] get access to full chapters, commentary, and the occasional group zoom meeting with the author.

He regained my full attention with his post on VALIS, a reference to Philip K. Dick. Naturally, that required a tangential deep dive into current youtube offerings. Happily, I’ve discovered several more interviews and bios have been added since my last foray.

Examples:
Number one: Philip K. Dick: Philosophical Pulp Poet – “a writer who rode the Multiverse and saw different realties—and sometimes lived them.”

Number two: The 9 prophetic visions of Philip K. Dick – “a visionary prophet for the age we’re all now living in.”

Number three: If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others (The “Metz Speech”). [In his description, I see parallels with Plato’s Cave.]

Number four: Jeffrey Mishlove and James Tunney. [Includes reference to Plato’s Cave]: Philip K. Dick, Aliens, and the Afterlife, PKD “developed a friendship with the late Bishop James Pike, who wrote extensively about mediumistic communications with his deceased son.” After the death of Bishop Pike, PKD thought he was communicating with him.

• Wiki: The Other Side, written by Bishop James Pike with Diane Kennedy is about his experiences of paranormal phenomena following his son’s suicide by gunshot in New York City in 1966.
  
  In September 1967, Pike participated in a televised séance with his dead son through the medium Arthur Ford, who served at the time as a Disciples of Christ minister. Pike described these experiences in detail in the book.

Number five: The Penultimate Truth About Philip K. Dick.
– Regarding conjecture on PKD being deluded and paranoid, thinking he was targeted, while also discounting the merit/value of the ideas put forth in his writing – Corroborative revelations about slew of nefarious programs active during that era came decades later. Revelations suggesting he might have had a clue [too many] none could fathom – because it had been too repugnant and repulsive [dangerous] to even consider.

Decades after the death of PKD, information was made public on research conducted by US and Soviet operatives for the purpose of weaponizing PSI abilities.

PKD would have been a hot target, given his focus on ‘reality’ and how it might be manufactured, influenced, projected, created – a manufactured program – running under the radar – completely undetectable to the percipient. His drug use would have been a convenient point of contact.

Latent PSI abilities could have given him insight others would have denied, ridiculed, shamed, rejected. Given the negative bias against such phenomena by Western society, he would have limited access to anyone who could have helped him reconcile such an ability at that point in time.

Revelatory case in point: Blowing America’s Mind: A True Story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD, and Zen. “Blowing America’s Mind (Yellow Hat Productions) tells how the CIA became involved in psychedelic drugs and deep hypnosis on Princeton students during the ’50s and ’60s. John Selby ’68 and Paul Jeffrey Davids ’69 were among the guinea pigs for the CIA’s secret mind-control research.” Published April, 2018. Source.

I interviewed Paul Davids. Link. What if you were part of a study you were never supposed to remember? Fine print: no one told you that part.

UPDATE: I added more information about PKD, specifically, in regard to his, possibly well justified, paranoia. His choice subject matter during that era could have made him a target. Believe it and/or not.
