For Crying Out Loud!

Posted on January 8, 2011 by Trish and Rob
John Boehner – a crying shame?

Here’s an ironic synchronicity related to the new U.S. Congress. The same day that the constitution was read aloud for the first time in congress, two representatives violated the constitution.

Republicans, who now are in the majority in the house of representatives, staged the first ever reading on Thursday, Jan. 6, at the behest of their most conservative supporters, the Tea Party, who look upon the U.S. Constitution as a holy document, somewhat like the New Testament. It should be noted that most members of congress got bored and left the house floor during the reading.

Meanwhile, two Republicans managed to violate the constitution on the same day when they voted without being sworn-in. GOP Reps. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) chose to attend a fundraiser rather than show up for the swearing in ceremony. Later on, they cast their first votes of the 112th Congress-  despite the fact they were technically not members of Congress at the time. Hence, violating the constitution. Good going, guys. Thanks for the synchro!

Besides casting the votes on the house floor, Sessions even chaired the rules committee during a hearing on the health care repeal bill. According to sources, the situation came about when the speaker’s office discovered a photo of Sessions holding his hand up while watching a television showing his fellow colleagues taking the oath on the floor.

In other words, the two congressmen acted as if the ceremony was like a Wii computer game and they could be sworn-in via a TV monitor while collecting money from supporters. Strange stuff.

Also interesting was that certain parts of the constitution that were embarrassing weren’t read, hence making the document and founding fathers appear more infallible. Notably ignored was the original intent to allow slavery in the South by including the statement that black people were three-fifth citizens. Blacks were referred to as ‘other Persons’ to avoid using the word slaves.

Meanwhile, Thursday night, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tried to correct the Republicans censorship by having Ted Williams, the now famous homeless man with an “amazing God-given voice,” to read the parts of the Constitution the GOP left out. What a hoot!

Regarding the photo above, maybe new House Speaker John Boehner just hit his fingers with his new oversized gavel. Who knows…. – R

Debra and Nita

This story comes from D Page, whose blog mythic musings is always a pleasure to read. It’s a wonderful example of spirit communication through dreams, but has a terrific twist!
++

When my husband Larry asked me to marry him, we had known each other for 4 years. We had met as co-workers for a car dealer. I had met his father already. I knew he had a younger brother, and that his mother had died of diabetes- related complications in 1982.
 
The day he asked me to marry him was 12/12/92. I was living in Colorado, near Denver. He was flying into Denver when a blizzard struck. It took the plane approximately 5 hours of circling before it landed, because the snowfall was so heavy. After a safe but tense landing, Larry got off the plane, kissed the ground, and handed me an engagement ring. We spent the night at an airport hotel. No one could leave because of the blizzard.

I did say “Yes!”, so Larry moved into an apartment with my daughter Desiree and I. I knew we would be facing allot of issues. The one that worried me the most was the fact that the marriage would be interracial. Larry is African American, I am white European. We had already had problems with our friendship being an issue because we worked at the same dealership.

A few weeks after Larry moved in I had a very vivid dream: I was on a bus in San Diego. Desiree (my 7-year old daughter) was sitting to my right. On my left was a stranger: an African American woman. She was beautiful, with a very dynamic presence. She had an afro – very ‘big hair’.  She said, “My name is Nita. This is going to be very hard for Larry. Please be patient. It will all work out.” I had a lot of questions swirling in my head as suddenly awoke.

 The next morning I shared the dream with Larry. I told him what Nita had said. He said: “Nita is my mother. Her name is Juanita, but everyone calls her Nita. Then I asked him about the afro. “Yes, that’s her,” he responded.

We moved back to San Diego in 1993. We stayed a few weeks at Larry’s family’s home. I was home alone, cleaning one afternoon, when I found a photograph of the woman in my dream: a beautiful black woman with “big hair”. It was Nita. Somehow, I knew she would always be looking out for us.

How many of us can say we met our mothers-in-law years after she had passed on?

Synchro Weirdness

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Trish and Rob

This synchro is one of those weirdo things you run across from time to time, involving names, the bizarre, and death. More on that at the end of the story.

++

On Monday, December 12, 2011, Tyler Brehm, 26, walked down the middle of Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, firing on motorists with a .40 caliber handgun.  He didn’t appear to have any clear target and fired 20 bullets in the air and at cars and screamed that he wanted to die.

Several people were injured and one man was killed, 40-year-old John Atterberry, a music executive who was shot in the face and upper body as he drove his Mercedes through the area.

Atterberry has worked with the Spice Girls, Jessica Simpson, and other musicians. He was a VP at a record company that produced albums for some of the most prominent names in West Coast hip-hop- like Snoop Dog. The name of the company? Death Row Records.

Story here.

+++

Really? Why would anyone give that name to a company?  These types of synchros seem to emanate from what I think of as the ‘dark side” of the cosmos. We don’t know what, if any, karmic connections existed among the players, we have no clue about what these people were thinking just before or during these dramatic and, ultimately, tragic moments.

But if there’s no such thing as random, then the apparently “random” act was initiated at some deeper order in the universe. And this is where synchronicity seems to come into play. I often think of synchronicity as the seam, the border, between what is seen and what is hidden. It somehow makes the internal (hidden) manifest, and then we’re struck by the sheer weirdness of it and are compelled to pay attention. But what’s the message? What’s the law of attraction here? Or is there any?

Blackbird, Blackbird…

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Patterns are intrinsic to synchronicity and often can be seen through the signs and symbols in our environment. We read the signs and symbols in ways that are personally meaningful. But what about when the signs and symbols seem to be much bigger than any single individual? Is the collective consciousness of the planet speaking to us in some way? If so, then two towns in Arkansas may be the planet’s mouthpiece.

 

Let’s take a look at these two towns in Arkansas – Guy (population 549) and Beebe (about 5,000 in 2000 census). Both lie to the north of Little Rock.
Between September 20 and December 13, 2010, the area around Guy experienced a swarm of quakes –nearly 500 of them, quakes so small they go unnoticed but which are measurable. October 11 featured the largest quake – about 4.0. There are several geological faults in the area, but none are associated with the new Madrid fault, which shifted in 1811 and caused a 7.7 quake.
Less than 50 miles to the northwest of Guy is the town of Beebe. On New Year’s Eve, around 5,000 red winged blackbirds dropped out of the sky over Beebe, in a one-mile area. On that same day, in the same general northwestern region of Arkansas, an EF3 tornado hit. It was  500 yards wide, remained on the ground for 22 minutes, and killed four people.
Then there are the dead fish in the Arkansas River – more than 100,000 of them, all the same type – drum fish. This occurred about 125 miles west of Beebe.
In addition, there have been a number of UFO sightings in Arkansas – Batesville, November 11; Fayettville, October 16;  Emerson, May 27; and May 6, Rogers. Here’s a video about one of the sightings.   There may have been more sightings, but these are what I found in a quick search.
And here’s an update as of January 4.

So the obvious question is whether this area of Arkansas is just extraordinarily unlucky or  is there something else going on here? And if so, what? There’s all sorts of speculation – that it’s signs of the end times, that the area is a vortex of some kind, that it’s all related to UFOs, that may be near. In fact, rumors are swirling that disclosure could come from President Obama within the next month. According to this source, Obama “will concede that there is some evidence that aliens may have attempted to contact Earthlings.”
We find the phrasing rather humorous. To abductees and the hundreds of thousands of individuals who have experienced sightings, the contact has been ongoing for decades.  But hey, it would be a start! However these events shake out, these events certainly seem to be something we should all keep an eye on.
Today, January 5, the dead bird and fish phenomenon has gone worldwide, and now includes 40,000 crabs, plus starfish, anemones, and sponges that have washed up on the Thanet shoreline in England.

Then there’s the conspiracy take on all this, that government testing is what killed the birds, the fish:

Planetary Empaths, Redux

Posted on January 5, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

On March 11, 2010, we did a post called Planetary Empaths, about  individuals who seems to exhibit physical symptoms before a catastrophe occurs. The sensitivity of animals to pending disasters is well-documented, but there isn’t much written about human sensitivity to these events.

The catastrophes may be natural – earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, floods, whatever – or they can be terrorist related. They are usually global in nature and impact a great number of people. Today (January 4, with a solar eclipse in Capricorn), we received several reports from individuals who frequent our blog who are experiencing these symptoms again.

Here are the predominant symptoms:

burning, watering eyes
ringing in one or both ears
nausea, spatial disorientation

depression unrelated to whatever is going on in their lives, a feeling of profound sadness
left ear “popping”
vertigo
heartache
a general sense of malaise
unusual nightmares
bouts of crying out of a sense of despair, but the origin of the despair is unknown

It’s interesting that the symptoms are being felt during this period of massive deaths among birds and fish in Arkansas and elsewhere, with the newest report about tens of thousands of dead fish in the Chesapeake Bay. 

If you’re experiencing anything like this, please leave a comment or email us.

The Key to the Keys

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Everyone misplaces their keys once in a while. But how about losing three sets at the same time? The other morning I asked Trish if I could borrow her keys because I couldn’t find either set of my keys to our two cars. That’s when Trish realized that she didn’t know where her keys were either. We searched everywhere. After all, neither of us was going anywhere until we found some keys.

After fifteen or twenty minutes with no luck, I realized that I’d left both sets of keys in my yoga bag. However, they were locked in the back seat of one of the cars. So knowing where the keys were just added to the frustration. I still couldn’t get to them. A few minutes later, Trish recalled last using her keys in the garage when she opened the lock on her bike. We looked and there they were next to a paint can on a shelf.

But the mysterious key incidents weren’t over yet. I recovered my keys, got in the car to leave, but the key wouldn’t fit in the lock. I took a closer look and realized that they weren’t my keys! I knew immediately that I must have picked up the wrong keys from the key rack in the gym. The reason I didn’t realize I had the wrong ones as soon as I went to the car was because Trish had left ahead of me and had assumed the driver’s seat,  using her key. Then it occurred to me that, not only did I have someone else’s keys, but I hadn’t been to the gym for two days!

So now comes the synchronicity. Even though I was supposed to teach a private yoga class in ten minutes, I headed directly to the gym (in the opposite direction). I knew someone would be looking for those keys, and they might even have called the police. And where were my keys?

When I arrived, I explained what happened to Sarah, the girl at the front desk. She literally shouted: “You’ve got Andy’s keys!” She turned and called out to a man on a nearby treadmill that the mystery was solved.

Not only was the owner of the keys in the gym, but he was on the machine closest to the entrance. Surprisingly, he wasn’t upset. In fact, he was pleased that I’d returned the keys and he knew exactly what happened because on that day when he couldn’t find his keys, his wife was in the driver’s seat waiting for him. He figured that whoever took the keys must’ve left the same way.

I felt relieved, but then Sarah said: “Where are your keys, Rob?”

I looked at the key rack and there they were, just where I’d left then two days earlier. A tangle of missing key stories resolved with minimal problems. And that might be the key! Things that seems like serious problems often times can be resolved quickly and easily.

Any other ideas on that one? – Rob

Healing Spirits

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Back in the late 1980s, I ran across a book called Joy’s Way: A Map for the Transformational Journey. The author’s personal story is compelling, particularly in the way he used it to change his life and develop a healing technique.  We use his story in our new book, Synchronicity and the Other Side because it illustrates how people who have been cured of serious illnesses through often attribute their healing to their higher selves, to the ways in which their souls or spirits spoke to them through their bodies.

 In 1975, W. Brugh Joy had a flourishing medical practice in Los Angeles, life was good. Then shortly before his thirty-fifth birthday, he was diagnosed with chronic relapsing pancreatitis, and there was no cure.This disease causes debilitating abdominal pain that may persist for several days, as it did for Joy. He knew the disease was unpredictable, that it might end abruptly on its own or that an attack could turn into fulminating pancreatitis, which had a mortality rate at that time of eighty percent. With each attack Joy probed his own psyche, struggling to understand why he was manifesting a disease that could severely restrict his activities or lead to his demise.

  
“I examined the stresses in my life, but they were inconsequential in comparison to the disease process and thus not powerful enough to lead to it. I talked to my body, trying to find some symbolic aspect that a malfunctioning pancreas might reflect, but nothing appeared. I simply could not see the dynamics of my problem.”
One Saturday morning while working on some medical charts in his office, he felt a powerful urge to enter into meditation. Even though he meditated daily, this urge was exceptionally strong, so he finished up what he was doing and began meditating. “A vortex of energy, of a magnitude I had never before experienced, reverberated through my body and threw my awareness into a super heightened state. Then a loud voice said, in essence: Your experience and training as an orthodox physician is completed. It’s over. The time has come for you to embark on a rededication of your Beingness to a deeper commitment and action.”
The voice proceeded to lay out the journeys Brugh would be taking – Findhorn, England, Egypt, India, Nepal, trips that would “reawaken old soul memories.” The voice told him that his vision of being a physician was distorted and overemphasized “the body and external causes and ignored the journey of the soul.” He was to start studying alternative healing techniques and practices so that he could develop  a more integrated approach to healing.
The experience was so powerful that within six weeks, Joy had resigned from his medical practice and walked away from all that was familiar to him. “The wellspring that nourished my awareness was the knowing – the absolute knowing – that the course of action I was following was true to my soul.” When he arrived in Findhorn, his first destination, he realized he hadn’t had a single attack of abdominal pain since that voice first spoke to him.
His body had spoken and its message was clear: it was time to restore his soul. Joy went on to write several books – Joy’s Way: A Map for the Transformational Journey is the best known – and for years conducted workshops on his healing techniques.
Michael Crichton, in his book Travels, has a chapter called Cactus Teachings, which is about the Brugh Joy retreat that he attended in 1982. It’s one of the best chapters in the book and provides a powerful glimpse of the techniques Joy used. The conference was held at a facility in the desert and early on, Joy had told the attendees to walk in the desert until they found a rock, tree, or plant with whom they felt a particular kinship. Then they were supposed “to spend time with this teacher, and talk with the teacher and learn what the teacher had to teach us.” So Crichton set out to find his teacher.
As other attendees excitedly reported finding a teacher, Crichton got annoyed because he hadn’t. He finally found a cactus in an artificial rock garden in a meditation room.”I didn’t like the cactus,” he wrote. It was common, a sort of phallic cactus shape like lots of thorns. It was rather battered, with scars on one side. It was not in any way an attractive cactus.”
Days passed. Crichton kept talking to the cactus, visiting it, but the cactus refused to speak to him. the cactus never spoke to him. Then finally one day on his way to the meditation room, he thought that if the cactus was really his teacher, it would speak to him. “And the cactus said, ‘When are you going to stop running around and talk?’ Irritably. Like a grouchy old man.”

After this, Crichton kept firing questions at the cactus. It refused to speak to him. Every day, the same thing happened: no response. The conference continued, Crichton was exposed to new things – healing techniques, chakras, perceptual changes, the tarot, the I Ching. “On the final day of the conference, I visited the cactus to say good-bye. The cactus was just sitting there. I wouldn’t speak to me.” Crichton told the cactus that he appreciated what it had shown him and said he’d enjoyed spending time with it. “Which wasn’t exactly true because I felt frustrated a lot of the time, but I thought it was more or less true.” Still no response.

“Then I realized that from its position in the garden, the cactus could never see the sun set. The cactus had been years in that position and been deprived of seeing sunsets. I burst into tears. And then the cactus said, ‘It”s been good having you here with me.’ Then I really cried.”

Eight months after that conference, Crichton’s life had completely turned around. He had changed his relationships, residence, work, diet, habits, interests, exercise, goals – in fact, anything in his life that could be changed, was changed. “These changes were so sweeping that I couldn’t see what was happening while I was in the midst of them. And there was another change, too. I’ve become very fond of cacti, and I always have some around, wherever I live.”

UFOs over Moscow and London?

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Stanley Fuhlman,a retired Canadian NORAD officer, predicted the UFO sightings of October 13, 2010 in NYC and other place – the video for the NYC sightings is below, He died on December 19 of pancreatic cancer. Among his final predictions was one about UFO sightings over Moscow in early January 2011, followed a week later by sightings over London.

When we first read about the October 13 prediction,  we thought it would be great if it happened, but so many predictions never come to anything. Then the news hit about the  UFOs over NYC, on that date, witnessed by thousands. So, it will be interesting to see what comes of this prediction.

Make it So: Us and 2012

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Nearly twenty-five years ago, on August 16-17, 1987, the Harmonic Convergence drew people from all over the world to supposed power spots on the planet. I remember that the evening news had a piece about Machu Picchu and the people who had gathered there to welcome the new energy that was allegedly being ushered into human consciousness. If memory serves, it got a brief mention on the evening news because actress, author and New Age proponent Shirley MacLaine believed it was important. The mention, I should add, was a kind of – Ha-ha, look at these weirdos.

I’m pretty sure the news piece mentioned Jose Arguelles and  his book, The Mayan Factor, because Arguelles was credited with starting the first  “globally synchronized meditation.”

So at dawn on August 16, 1987, Rob and I met our friend and psychic Renie Wiley on a Lauderdale beach with a whole lot of other weirdos to celebrate and welcome this new energy into the world. I remember thinking that I must be insane to be up before dawn and on a beach to watch the sun rise. I don’t do dawn. I’m an owl, always have been, and when I have to go to bed before eleven to get up at a certain time, I hardly sleep at all.

As I watched the sun punch a hole in the horizon that morning, I was sleep deprived, but also aware that something felt very different. Maybe it was the energy of the crowd, maybe it was the energy of whatever was rushing toward us. But I do know that something changed for me that day, something internal, a tectonic shift in beliefs. Two years and a few weeks after that dawn on the beach, Megan was born, we moved, our lives went through a complete revolution. Our writing changed, became more psychic, esoteric, and delved into the areas that interested us.  It’s as if who Rob and I really are became more obvious, prominent, pervasive.

Now here we are, in 2012. I feel that same momentum, that same strangeness and yet a weird familiarity. The 5,126-year astrological cycle the Mayans knew about comes to end on December 21, 2012. There are some fascinating synchros involving the date, but the one that takes the cake, is that the Mayan calendar ends at 11:11 UT on December 21, 2012. The 11:11 element is something we’ve written about in our books and here on the blog. Think: portal, spiritual evolution, heightened awareness and psychic ability.

I look to  astrology, since that’s what the Mayan calendar was based on, and, wondered what transits would signal Armageddon, the worst possible scenario, the end of life on earth. Well, I’m happy to report I just don’t see it.

The nearest approximation might be the financial meltdown in 2008 that  has impacted the global economy ever since – the fallout of the Bush administration policies which have been extended, to some degree, by the Obama administration. While we have seen evidence of the mass paradigm shifting – the first black president, for instance,  the acknowledgement that emotions are intimately tied to physical health, the advances in physics- we have also seen the physical evidence that triggers such paradigm shifts.

Natural disasters are on the rise. Rebellion and revolution are in the air we breathe. Climate change is a fact, not a theory, and it no longer matters, really, what’s causing it. It’s here, it’s real, and it’s going to impact every one of us, in some way.

Astrologically, we seem to be at the dawn of an era. Talk to Uranus about that. On March 11, 2011, it entered Aries, the sign of the warrior.

As the planet of sudden and unexpected change, it’s one of the slower moving outer planets, so its affect on our lives is greater than the inner planets that move more quickly – the moon, sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars.  Uranus stays in a sign for seven years, but because of retrogrades won’t leave Aries until early March 2019. So, we’re talking eight years here. Eight years of massive, monumental change.

In many ways, I think Uranus defines humanity – we seek to individuate from our families and early childhood conditioning; at a certain age we rebel against the status quo; we learn that we are intuitive, unique, and we either reject or accept our individual power.  On a collective level, Uranus awakens us. So, on March 11, 2011, the day that Uranus entered Aries, , a 9.0 quake in Japan  triggered a tsunami that devastated a nuclear power plant.

I think this event defined the next seven years globally, collectively, for humanity. The world isn’t going to end, but for some of us, it will feel as if it has.  We may experience personal loss and tragedy – but we’ll also experience unprecedented insights, psychic connections to people of like minds, and a profound grasp of how we, as individuals, not only fit into the larger picture, but help to define it

Uranus also rules the technology that unites us, that allows us to communicate instantly with friends on the other side of the world, with people we may have newer met whose beliefs parallel our own. Uranus governs the planetary empaths,  individuals who are so attuned to the changes within the planet that they experience physical symptoms. I think they are a leap in our evolution, in our collective consciousness, a product of Uranus in Aries. Uranus governs rebellion and revolution and its impact is evident in the Arab spring, in the Occupy movement, in movies like The Ides of March, The Help, and Midnight in Paris.

Find out where Uranus lies in your natal chart,  where Aries is, and that’s where you, as an individual, as one person, one voice, can make a significant difference. https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi

So, we don’t see the end of the world. But there’s sure going to be a lot of hype about it and the closer we get to the alleged end date, the stranger events will be. More natural disasters may come about as a result of global warming and the corporate hold on our lives. Thanks to trickster Mercury, the presidential election of November 2012 is probably going to be weird, unsettled, and will provide some insight into the hoopla surrounding 12/21/12.

But if we all stay true to who we are, do what we can to alleviate the suffering of others, take our cues from dreams, visions, synchronicity, and don’t compromise our individuality to fit into some collective idea of who we should be,  we’ll come out on the other side as the whole, integrated individuals that we are. That’s our hope. That’s our conviction. As Jean Luc Picard used to say in the Star Trek sagas, the best line for visualization I’ve ever heard: Make it so.
