The Synchros of Hellier

Recently, we began watching a somewhat spooky documentary series called Hellier, which features a group of paranormal investigators who decide to look into reports of “goblins” appearing on a rural homestead in Hellier, Kentucky. There are numerous old mines in the area and one of them is on the edge of the property in question. One of the investigators received emails from a man named David Christie, who lived in the house in question with his children, and he complains that little being were sneaking around their property at night looking in the windows and scaring the children. Christie also sent them pics of small three-toed footprints in the mud near the mine.

The investigators decide to take a look. However, before they get it together to make the trip from Cincinnati, they receive another email from David who says he’s had enough. He and the three children are abandoning the house. After that, they don’t hear any more from Christie and he doesn’t answer emails or the email address no longer works. Still, the investigators continued on.

The thing about this story that’s particularly interesting for us is that right from the beginning, they talk about synchronicity. It’s one synchro after another as they pursue this adventure. They not only recognize the synchronicities but they follow them making it even weirder. But we had no idea that synchronicity would play any part in the documentary series.

As it turned out there was also a synchro for me (Rob) with this show. We had watched one episode of the series when it first came out in 2019. I had noted at the time that years earlier I had also corresponded with a man named David Christie and we had talked about strange stuff, as well. In our case, it was about the Castaneda saga and the semi-mysterious women who were associated with him. One of whom was an author who I had corresponded with for years and later met at a writer’s conference. So after seeing the episode in 2019, I wrote David Christie asking him if he was the same guy as the D.C. in Hellier. I had my doubts because I remember that he lived in Canada.

After that, we didn’t watch anymore of the series. Maybe it was because there were no other episodes immediately available, and so I forgot the series and  my email to David Christie. Then recently, when Daz mentioned Hellier in a comment here on the blog, I was reminded of the episode we’d seen and we decided to start it again from the beginning. While watching the second episode, I recalled that I had written ‘my’ David Christie and couldn’t remember if he had replied.

So I looked up the email as we were watching and told Trish that Christie had never replied to me. Within seconds, one of the characters who was in a moving vehicle and looking at his phone said the same thing. “David Christie never replied.”

We just watched the third episode and surprisingly, they find out that David Christie was actually writing the emails to them from Canada. Hmm, I thought. Maybe it is the same D.C.

Whatever, it was another synchro about a documentary that essentially is about synchronicities related to their search for the goblins…or whatever they were.

Beowulf

Our animal buddies

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A favorite house spot

++

Some years ago, my sister, Mary, rescued three feral cats in her neighborhood. They’ve moved with her from house to house. I met them in 2019, I think it was, black and white beauties as fleeting as magic. Here one moment, gone the next – into the cellar rafters, the hidden pockets. Only one of them warmed up to me during that first meeting, a gorgeous guy, Beowulf. He has these turquoise and dark chocolate eyes, not visible in this photo, and a face that melts your heart every time he lifts his head to look at you.

In the fall of that year, my sister and I met in Orlando and I officially adopted Beowulf. I drove him back to South Florida in a carrier and he meowed and complained the entire three hours in the car. When I released him in the house, he ran and hid under a bed and stayed here for the next 10 days. He came out to eat, of course, but only when he was sure no one was looking.

Gradually, he emerged into this new world, warmed up to Nigel and Nala and Nika, He does this kind of endearing thing when he meets a new animal – he rubs his head against some part of their anatomy – head, belly, nose, ear – a gesture that says, “Hey, I’m a friend. I don’t want any trouble.”

 

Eventually, he ventured outside, into our backyard, and caught his first lizard, which he proudly carried inside. The lizard escaped. Next, it was a mouse that he caught and brought in to show everyone – and the mouse also got away. For awhile, we had an infestation of mice.

He’s now very comfortable here. He’s also really vocal about going out. His idea of paradise is to spend the beautiful nights outdoors. If it rains, he prefers the back of the couch. In the evening if we sit outside with the dogs and toss Nigel his ball, both Beo and Nala join us. They’re good buds. Whenever she sees him she rubs up against him, sniffs him, purrs at him. He reciprocates. If they hadn’t both been fixed, they’d be lovers.

Of the two cats, Nala is the most domesticated. Our neighbor fostered her and she’s used to being stroked and hugged and invited to share a pillow at night. But she also loves her life outdoors with Beo.

So Beo, a cellar cat for at least five years, has issues about freedom. Then again, if I’d been confined to  a cellar – even a large cellar with places to hide, with food brought to me – I’d have issues too. Welcome to the free world, Beo. Yeah, it has its perils, but considering the alternative, it’s a paradise.

Nigel says: “Beo is somewhere in the bushes. Wait! There he is! His favorite outdoor spot.”

Marching Toward Gilead

Several days ago,  State Rep. Jean Schmidt, who represents Ohio’s 65ht district, was questioned by fellow legislators about a bill she sponsored – House Bill 598 or The Human Life Protection Act. Her bill would make performing an abortion in Ohio a fourth-degree felony and would criminalize the use of abortion medication. There’s no exception for rape or incest.

As the Washington Post reported, she was presented with a hypothetical:”A 13-year-old girl is raped and becomes pregnant as a result. Would the Republican’s bill force that teenager to have her rapist’s baby?”

Her incredible response? “It is a shame that it happens, but there’s an opportunity for that woman, no matter how young or old she is, to make a determination about what she’s going to do to help that life be a productive human being.”

Seriously? How the hell could any woman actually believe this? That response is straight out of Gilead.

Take a look at which Republican-dominated state legislatures have passed abortion bans, fully expecting the supremes to overturn Roe V Wade this summer when they hear a Mississippi case.

So as soon as this summer, Roe v. Wade, which became law in January 1973, will be history. And the U.S. will be marching even closer to Gilead. For those of you haven’t read or seen The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood’s brilliant depiction of a Dystopian society, all women in Gilead are subjugated in a patriarchal society supposedly built on theological principles.

The irony, of course, is that Republicans are right to lifers ONLY until the baby is born. After that, well, sorry kid. You’re on your own. No guaranteed health care, no paid family leave, nada.

UPDATE: Politico broke a story this evening – May 2- that is a draft of the supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade. It apparently was written by Justice Alito on February 10. Sickening.

A Cluster Synchronicity

 

Here’s a cluster synchronicity that happened today. I’m currently ghostwriting a novel that involves a woman whose memories of an abusive past life are bleeding through into her current life and causing her problems. She is Baker Acted at some point and treated for her trauma in a psychedelic treatment program.

Then today, I received my copy of The Mountain Astrologer, the June-September 2022 issue. It has an article called Psychedelic Astrology about the work of Stanislov Grof, the world’s foremost authority on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and Richard Tarnas, a professor of philosophy and psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and author of Cosmos and Psyche, one of the best books about transit astrology and synchronicity. Tarnas is also a member of Bernie Beitman’s Coincidence Project.

A few hours after I’d gotten my Mountain Astrologer, Rob and I were watching a new show on Netflix – Russian Doll. The protagonist smoked weed laced with ketamine on her birthday and died and kept coming back to the same night. At one point, the man who created the joint she smoked explains how psychedelics like ketamine are used in therapy with traumatized patients.

I have no idea what this cluster means, but it’s certainly a weird one.

The New Normal

New Normal After Coronavirus. New normal road sign. Horizontal composition with copy space. Global Health and COVID-19 pandemic concept.

In a world of – what? 7.9 billion people? – what would constitute critical mass for a paradigm shift? Half of that figure? Two-thirds? Seventy-five percent?

Since we started our podcast, The Mystical Underground, in February 2020, the consensus of our guests seems to be that we are in the midst of a chaotic paradigm shift.You can see it everywhere – in the politics of Covid, in the politics of politics, in industries that are radically changing or are defunct. We’ve heard all kinds of stories. The veil between the living and the dead is thinning, human/alien contact isn’t just happening, but new knowledge is emerging as a result. Some say that trump was a catalyst for this shift, that the war between Russian and the Ukraine is one of the repercussions, and that climate change isn’t just real, but is happening now.

Each of us has an opinion about these events. But the bottom line is that the pandemic changed, well, just about everything.

A lot of us went stir crazy. Others loved the solitude. Most of us just wanted to get back to normal – but no longer know what normal is.

Pre-pandemic, my ideal normal day used to be hit the gym in the morning, go to work, watch news or something else in the evenings, work until one or so and go to bed. In between, my normal included taking the dogs to the dog park, eating out with friends, traveling to Orlando to see our daughter, and at least one, preferably foreign, trip a year.

Well, I haven’t been anywhere foreign since a great trip to Colombia in 2018 and a fantastic visit to Cuba in 2017 . Because of the changing Covid restrictions, I didn’t want to get stuck somewhere. In 2021, we visited Whitefish, Montana for work. Beautiful landscape and the people we were visiting were terrific. But Montana isn’t ethnically diverse like South Florida. It’s a pocket of white nationalism. It’s also incredibly cold, even in May, so forget ever living there.

My normal now, as the pandemic ebbs, is that I do a lot of ghostwriting, have finished a novel – White Crows, which will be released on May 24 – and a non-fiction book Rob and I wrote  coming out later this year. The Shift: Reports from the Mystical Underground. The podcast is definitely part of my new normal and thanks to our guests, has introduced me to an ever expanding world of ideas.

I also joined a synchronicity group that is part of my new normal. It’s headed by Bernard Beitman, University of Virginia professor of psychiatry and author of two books on coincidence – synchronicity. The people he has gathered together for the Zoom meetups each month includes individuals from Australia and Europe and the U.S. Some are academics, most are authors. Bernie’s goal is to spread the concept of synchronicity worldwide. No one has used that term yet, but that’s what this is.

One segment of our podcast each month is my astrology column for the 12 signs. Writing it keeps me current and, hopefully, it enables others to plan a month more carefully.

Recently, for instance, a friend said she and her husband were leaving for the summer, going back to Maine on April 30. There’s a solar eclipse in Taurus on that day, I advised her to choose a date after that, sometime in May. Its not that solar eclipses are necessarily bad for travel, but that I know my friend and her husband are sensitive to astro events. A few years back, he had cataract surgery scheduled during a Mercury retrograde and I advised him to change the date to some point when the retro was finished. But he couldn’t change the date and ended up needing one eye redone.

My new normal now involves a lot of change that has evolved from the changes in my outer world.

What’s your new normal?

Pound Sand, DeSantis

 

At one time in my life, I taught Spanish to middle school kids in a private school in Vero Beach, Florida. I also taught English to Cuban refugees after the Mariel boat lift in 1980-81.

The middle school kids were interesting. Open to anything. Everything. We didn’t have a Gov DeSantis then, censoring textbooks and passing laws against even uttering the word “gay,” in a classroom. Back then, at least for awhile, what a teacher taught in class was subject only to a vague outline curriculum. So I decided that every Friday we would have a psychic day IF the students committed to learning Spanish the other four days of the week.

My ploy worked for several months. The kids were great from Monday through Thursday and came prepared for our psychic Fridays. I heard all kinds of experiences – precognition, OBEs, telepathy, clairvoyance. We came up with psychic activities in which everyone participated. I discovered that these middle schoolers – 12 to 14- experienced things and had no one to talk to about it all.

Then, a couple of months into my experiment, I got called into the principal’s office for a meeting with him and his assistant principal, a woman whose name I don’t recall. Let’s call her Amy. At he meeting, she did most of the talking. She wanted to know what we did on these psychic Fridays.When I told her, she looked, well, kind of horrified.

“We’ve gotten complaints from parents.” Then she named the complaints.

One boy’s parents said their son claimed to travel out of body at night. A girl’s parents said she claimed to recall a traumatic past life. Another kid’s parents didn’t like that I talked about astrology. In a climate like this, who needed a DeSantis and his book banning? His don’t say gay laws? The parents were the censors.

I was told to stop psychic Fridays. So I did. But at the end of that year – my last at that private school – one of my students – Brian – stopped by my apartment with a gift. “I had a precognition that you would love this book, Ms. Trish.”

The book was Stephen King’s The Stand. And Brian was right. I loved the book. I went out and bought his earlier books. “You stopped doing psychic Fridays because of the administration, right?” he asked.
“Yeah. Parents complained.”

He grinned. “You opened up my world.”

I don’t know where Brian is now, what he has done with his life. But he was my confirmation that kids are hungry for these insights.

Sorry, DeSantis. You’re going to lose big time on your attempts to limit what goes on in a classroom. Keep on censoring and passing silly bills. Eventually, it will all blow up in your stupid, arrogant face.
