From Matt

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Trish and Rob

After Trish did the Dreamland interview with Anne Strieber, Anne sent her several emails from listeners who had experienced synchronicities while listening to the show. Anne suggested Trish get in touch with them if she was interested in using the material. This is the first one, from Matt, who goes by the name Madd Matt on the Dreamland message board. He’s an abductee and intimately familiar with synchros. A Jungian mandala from The Red Book seems to be a fitting illustration for this story.

+++

Hello all!

I’m Matthew, although most people know me by my online handle over at
UnknownCountry.com as Madd Matt. I’m a lifetime abductee and
experience synchronicities quite regularly. Recently I sent an email
to Anne Strieber regarding Trish’s recent interview with her on
Dreamland, about a synchronicity I had while listening to the
interview itself. Anne forwarded my email to Trish, since there were a
number of synchronicities that I described in it that Anne thought
Trish might find interesting.

The number 42 has been a personal prompt for myself for about thirteen
years now, and has come to indicate my life path, so it tends to pop
up when I need to either pay attention to something, or as an
affirmation for a thought or decision. While I was listening to the
interview, at the portion where Trish and Anne were discussing free
will and life path choices set up before our births, I thought about
where my life path was at the moment, basically being a wide-open path
with lots of choices, but with only one path I would choose.
Immediately after this thought, Trish mentions that she had her
daughter at the age of 42. Yup, a synchronicity while discussing
synchronicities!

The night before, I had been listening to Anne’s husband Whitley as he
hosted Coast-to-Coast AM, with Anne co-hosting. One caller discussed
being woken on a regular basis by his visitors at 03:14 each morning,
of which Anne provided analysis for, regarding abductees being woken
up at particular time prompts, usually at 03:00, furthering the
trinity motif they tend to use. In my email to Anne, I also pointed
out that 3.14 is pi, and 3×14=42.

In my own case, back in my late teens when I was coming to the
realization that I was an abductee, my visitors tended to wake me up
at 04:17. The significance of this had me baffled for years, until one
day I realized that where I live is seventeen minutes off of the
centre of the time zone I live in. This means that I was waking up at
04:00 sharp, but at solar time, rather than standard time.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember what time of year this took place at,
since if it was during daylight savings time, then the solar time at
04:17 where I live is actually 03:00.

For me, synchronicities are pretty much a daily thing, and they’ve
been getting more and more acute since the current major energy shift
began around the turn of the year. Just today, For instance, just
before I sat down to reply to Trish’s email, I had the urge to go to
the store. I went, bought some pop, and before I left the store I had
a Highlander (movie) reference come to mind. I turn the corner, and
there emblazoned across the back of a parked Toyota SUV was
“HIGHLANDER”, the name of that particular SUV model. And that was just
#3 for that day. A few hours later I watched a Japanese movie called
“Battle Royale”, of which, despite being in my Zip.ca (Canada’s
Netflix) queue for months, was shipped to me on March 11th, the day of
the Sendai tsunami. The movie itself contained a number of events in
it that are directly related to similar events that I remember from my
most previous past life. Oh, and the number of kids in the class that
are central to the movie’s plot is… you guessed it: FORTY-TWO! Yup,
it just keeps going…

And as I finish this email, the clock now reads 12:34… Take care, all!

Matt

Driftwood

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Since Esperanza was published in September, there has been sporadic movie/TV interest, but so far, nothing has solidified. Our daughter calls these kinds of things driftwood,” a term that comes from Abraham/Hicks and suggests that your desire is starting to manifest.  I’m beginning to think there may be something to it.

Two days ago, I “spoke” to my former editor, Kate Duffy, who died in September 2010.  Our conversation went something like this, all in my own head, of course:

“Okay, Kate, if you’ve got any clout over there, how about helping out here? You know, get something going with the TV/movie stuff.”

“Right, Trish, I’ll see what I can do.”

“Can you, uh, get things moving really quickly?”

I could almost see her roll her eyes. “You know what they say about patience, Trish. It’s a virtue and all that.”

“Well, I’m sorely lacking in that department.”

“All right, all right. I’m on it.”

Good, I thought. Turn it over to the ghosties and see what happens.

This morning, I received an email from my agent. An independent producer who used to be with TBS has expressed interest in two time travel novels that I wrote, Kill Time and Running Time. I thought it was sort of weird, since these two books have been out of print for a year. Then I remembered my imaginary conversation with Kate and burst out laughing. These two novels were the last ones I did with Kate.

It is so like her to overlook Esperanza, my newest novel, and focus on the last two she and I did together. It’s as if she was saying, You asked, I heard, I’m on it for real. Spirit communication, synchro, whatever. I’m grateful, Kate, I’m grateful.

Another Page

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Recently I picked up a book called A World of Luck and turned to the index. My eye caught a name listed under the letter P. It read: Page D, 116. Since D Page frequently comments here and has provided some great synchros, I decided to turn to page 116 to see what this story was about. It turns out to be a peculiar little story about two strangers whose lives were entangled by their names and numbers.

+++

D Page, in this case, is a British soldier who was married in 1940 and immediately re-joined his army unit. Some time later, he received a package with his wedding pictures, but he noticed that someone had opened the package. That was the first hint that someone else was getting his mail, and he began receiving mail that was intended for a soldier with the last name of Pape. It turned out their 7-digit military IDs were one number apart, (1509322 and 1509321) adding to the confusion which continued until Page was re-assigned.

But it wasn’t over. After the war Page, a driver with London Transport, noticed that his paycheck was smaller than usual one day. It turned out that his records had been confused with those of another driver, who had just been transferred to the garage in southwest London. The reason for the confusion was immediately apparent. The other driver was Pape, and his license number was 29223. Page’s was 29222.

++

There may be a trickster element in this. In fact, D page who comments on this blog may consider this a huge trickster synchro!

The First Mercury Retro in 2011

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Mercury moving in front of the sun

On March 30, at 4:48 PM EDT, Mercury turns retrograde for the first time in 2011. This retrograde occurs in fire sign Aries and it lasts until April 23.

Mercury is the planet that governs communication, travel, contracts and sales, commerce, and transportation. These areas are the most heavily impacted. The last retro was December 10-30, 2010. That one impacted airline travel in a major way when snowstorms grounded thousands of flights and stranded tens of thousands of passengers.

If you’re traveling, your itinerary may change suddenly and unexpectedly, your luggage may take a detour to China, and you may not make that 10 AM appointment in Manhattan. It’s best to regard the trip as an adventure and remain as flexible and even-tempered as possible.

It’s wise not to sign contracts during this period – unless you don’t mind revisiting the contract at a future date. Some years ago, we signed a two-year contract during a Mercury retro and for the entire two years of the contract, we encountered one snafu after another – delayed checks, new editors, changes in the original contract.

During the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore had been announced the winner when Mercury, which had been retrograde, went direct. About 30 minutes later, Tom Brokaw said the announcement had been premature, there  was some sort of problem in Florida. And we all know what happened after that. It went straight to the Supreme Court.

Before the retro begins, be sure to back up your computer data on a flash drive or external hard drive or both! Computer crashes are common, but usually more common when Mercury turns retro in Gemini or Virgo, the signs it rules.  Appliances often go haywire. During one retro, we had to purchase a new clothes dryer and water heater. In the end, the installation of the water heater cost more than the heater itself – then failed city inspection because it had been installed incorrectly. The company that installed it had to do so again.

The best way to navigate your way through a Mercury retro is by following the three Rs: revise, rethink, reconsider. Try not to start anything new. Don’t start a blog or publish a website during this period.

Some good things do happen – old friends resurface (but so do former lovers and spouses!) and you have a chance to tackle issues you’ve buried.

What Are These Planetary Empaths, Really?

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Trish and Rob

We’ve been tracking this phenomenon for more than  year. Back in January 2010, shortly before the horrible earthquake in Haiti, we received emails from people who didn’t know each other, but were all experiencing the same symptoms.  We’ve enumerated those symptoms here, here, here, and here. We’ve probably missed a couple of entries, but you can search the blog on your own and bring them up.

We realized the symptoms these individuals experienced – people who didn’t know each other – were astonishingly similar and appeared to be occurring days to weeks or several months before a natural or man-made disaster. We began to think of these individuals as planetary empaths, individuals so finely attuned to the fluctuations within the planet that their experienced physical and emotional symptoms before a disaster. In many instances, these individuals also had precognitive dreams that were quite specific about the particular disaster.

Since our last post on these empaths, more individuals have come forward to describe their own experiences. We’ve brought some of these comments forward in this post. The changes we’ve made in the comments have been grammatical and to shorten here and there.

1)    About 2 months ago I started to have very vivid ‘end of world’, I called them, dreams. I did not write any of them down but I remember having about 4 – 5 of them. One I do remember was so strange to me because of the location. I was in a rural area, somehow in a loose wood type structure, it makes me think of a fruit stand. And water started to come in fast.. On Monday the week of the Tsunami I felt very very sad for no apparent reason. I cried all day. It was odd for me, at that time of the month, to fee so emotional. I have not been the same since the tsunami. I am very sad, angry and overemotional and I cannot seem to control it. I remember having similar feelings before Haiti which has led me to start searching and trying to find out what is going on with me. How do I control this? It’s a horrible feeling.

2) I’ve been having such symptoms about 3 months now- it started with a sorta vertigo like trying to walk on a boat that’s on really rocky water and then progressed and got worse and progressed and changed and well it’s been scary. I don’t use the “P” word –psychic, I  mean- cause I think it implies a degree of control or understanding that just doesn’t apply to me. So I just use hyper-sensitive to describe myself and people like me. Beyond Intuitive but more close to burdened than gifted with being different. I like in upstate NY way near Canada- high elevation and not near any major fault lines. It scares me but I worry about my parents in Florida- being Florida is flat- I pray everything gets better. But the “poltergiest” phenomena as it was called-are increasing. Nice to know I’m not the only one feeling this stuff.

3. I’ve been watching a few videos, predictions of events unfolding. (One was posted on March 4, another March 8 predicting a quake. If you want I can provide links) Then I googled & came up with this page.

I’ve had some weird symptoms in the past few days.. My ears have had a persistent “airplane ears” and they feel constantly blocked in a weird sense. I also have ringing in my ears. Now, as I play drums, I pretty much signed up for tinnitus. But this ringing is…. different. It’s much higher frequency and sometimes it feels like it isn’t there, then other times it is. I’ve also felt quite on edge, and don’t have the focus I did a few days ago (it’s not very good on an average day anyway, lol) Even more, I’ve been absolutely shattered. My average sleep pattern for the last 3 years at least was about 3am-2pm, but over the past few days, I’ve been crashing at 9pm. It’s 1.30 AM and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. Weird indeed.

Basically I’ve been just… off-kilter. Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe I’m just looking for any form of diagnosis. Time will  tell. I have a feeling we are not out of the woods.

4. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this website. I too had several dreams of escaping water and fearing drowning in February. I woke up in one dream yelling “help me, help me” as I was stuck and could not move near a large body of water and the water was rising fast up to my chin. The other dreams were similar. I have never had dreams regarding a fear of drowning before. Normally if I am feeling stress in life I dream about airplanes and flying or tornadoes. This is a first for me.
I too have not felt right for nearly 2 weeks. I have not been able to pinpoint why I feel so unsettled. I feel nauseated and a horrible pain in my chest. Feel on pins and needles and I have nothing stressful in my life now to account for these feelings. Also anxiety, sadness and anger. I know that I am an empath and just made the connection that this could all be related to the Japanese tsunami. I am so relieved to find that others are feeling this way. Prior I was wondering if I was repressing something or feeling that something bad was going to happen. Now, I have a reason for feeling this way as normally I am even keeled and emotionally stable. I went from feeling that all is well with the world to a feeling of Fear. I do not like feeling this way. I believe in Law of Attraction and so I keep myself positive most of the time. It has been impossible to feel this way for nearly 2 weeks now. All we can do is pray and keep fear at bay. Best wishes to you all.

5. Today, March 18, we’ve heard from two of the empaths. Debra is experiencing  skin rashes, nausea, nightmares of having to go underground, ear popping, dizzeness, fatigue, insomnia, heart arrhythmia and tachycardia.  Math addict reports extreme vertigo, nausea, and torn up emotionally for no apparent reason.

+++

There are many more of these kinds of comments, enough to indicate an emerging  pattern of some sort. Or perhaps this  pattern has always been there, but now the technology exists to communicate this information quickly. All of these empaths are intuitive, a domain in which women usually excel, but these empaths aren’t just women.  Some of them are outright psychic, others are uncomfortable with that term and think of themselves as something else. But the bottom in is the same: they are our barometers for natural and man-made disasters. If they say something is coming, then it probably is.

Gypsy dreamed of a tsunami in Asia  months before Japan’s disaster. On that same night,  Jen also dreamed of a tsunami. These two women are connected only through blogging. They’ve never met. Yet, their dreams are remarkably similar in context, texture, tone. On any given day, we receive emails from various individuals, in different parts of the world, about their symptoms. Sometimes these symptoms coincide with the changing in colors of the Global Consciousness Dot. But quite often, the dot remains a steady green (normal), while the empaths are in bed, in pain, hoping their symptoms will pass.

The disparity may come down to machine (random number generators)  versus human. In the end, I’ll place my bets with the humans. This phenomenon is certainly more comment than we initially thought. But maybe it’s also something that helps us through the paradigm shift that seems endemic to 2012.

The question is this: are the PEs a kind of oracle at Delphi, something emerging in the collective psyche of the 21st century? If so, can they learn to narrow their symptoms to a place, time, specifics? Are they the heralds of the emerging paradigm?

The Tsunami Dolphin

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

We  hadn’t  heard  much about how animals fared during the Japanese tsunami on March 11. But today, I was talking to Vivian Ortiz, a friend I met because of dolphins, who recently moved to Hawaii. “Hey, did you hear about the tsunami dolphin?” she asked.

A Vivian dolphin story, I thought. This has to be good. And it was a synchro that it came from Vivian.  “No, I haven’t heard about it.”

“Google it.”

So I did. Weeks after the March 11 tsunami in Japan, a pet shop owner, Ryo Taira, and a group of volunteers have been searching for and rescuing abandoned animals.  Taira got a call from another man who said he’d found what he believed was a stranded dolphin in the rice fields about a mile from the coast.

What Taira thought was a dolphin turned out to be a baby porpoise. Although the animal was weak, it had managed to stay alive.  The volunteers tried to catch the porpoise with a net, but couldn’t do it, so Taira waded into the water and lifted it out of the water.

Due to the extensive damage in Japan, there wasn’t an aquarium where they could take the baby porpoise. So they wrapped it in wet towels and drove it to the  to the ocean and set it free.

“I don’t know if it will live, but it’s certainly a lot better than dying in a rice paddy,” Taira told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.

The original story is here.

After all the tragic news from Japan, this story seems imbued with hope.

UPDATE: As I was writing up this post, I noticed that the dot was glowing red. Sure enough, CNN is now reporting a 6.5 quake in Japan, near the 9.0, and there’s a new tsunami warning.

The #23 and Obama

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Trish and Rob

It seems as if March 23 was a big day in several ways:

Liz Taylor died. She was one of the last true drama babes  of Hollywood.

Jose Arguelles died. He was a visionary of the New Age movement.

And it looks as if President Obama got locked out of the White House. He’s the first African-American president.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYGsDMyM33U

First, let’s take a retrospective look at #23. We wrote about this number several times. Here’s the original article that talks about the obsession two men had about this number – William S Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson.  We’ve provided a synopsis of what we’ve found about this number, taken from a subsequent post we wrote about this odd number:

In science and math:

During conception, each parent contributes 23 chromosome apiece to the fetus.

Euclid’s geometry has 23 axioms.
23 is the first prime number in which both digits are prime numbers and add up to another prime number.
It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate through the human body.

Every 23rd wave that slams into a shore is twice as large as the average wave.
The first lunar landing was in the Sea of Tranquility, 23.63 degrees East. The second lunar landing was in the Ocean of Storms, 23.42 degrees West. The first two landings were Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 – 11+12=23.
The earth rotates completely every 23 hours, 56 minutes.
The axis of the plane Earth is 23.5 degrees.
The human biorhythm cycle is 23 days.
The pattern of DNA shows irregular connections at every 23rd section.
Humans have 23 vertebra running down the main part of their spines.
The Harmonic Convergence occurs every 23,000 years.
Geosynchronous orbit occurs at 23,000 miles above Earth’s surface.
September 23rd is the Fall equinox.
23+23+23=WWW, the World Wide Web (W being the 23rd letter of the alphabet)

Divination Systems:

In The I Ching, Hexagram 23 is called Splitting Apart

Hollywood:

Take X-Files. The production company, Ten-Thirteen -10+13 – adds up to 23. 10-13 is the birth date of creator Chris Carter. For fans of X-Files, remember that abandoned nuclear silo where a UFO is being held? 1013 is the number on the silo. In another episode, Mulder goes to the apartment of a recently deceased man and the number 23 is on the door.

In the popular TV series Lost, which builds on layers of synchronicity, there are a number of oddities involving 23:
Oceanic Flight 815 – 8+15=23
The gate number from which the flight departed
Jack’s seat on the flight was 23A
Rose and Bernard were sitting in row 23
Hurley stayed in a Sydney hotel on floor 23
The reward for turning Kate in: $23,000
One of the numbers in the sequence of 6 that won Hurley the lottery and opened the hatch: 4 8 15 16 23 42.
Even if the repetition of 23s in the series is intentional, it’s nonetheless the sort of weirdness that would have interested both Burroughs and Wilson.

So, on March 23, President Obama returns early from his trip to South America.  The U.S. is now involved in the Libya conflict and generally, people aren’t too too happy about the way he has handled this situation. He makes a decision for military action – and then leaves the country. When he returns a day early, he discovers he is locked out of the White House.

The symbolism alone doesn’t bode well for Obama’s re-election in 2012. The fact that the lock-out occurred on the 23rd day may be even more telling. We hope he or someone in his administration pays attention to symbolism and synchronicity. If they ignore the symbolism, if they don’t change course, then we could end up with some wacko as president. Obama is a huge disappointment, yes, but given the other contenders who are stepping forward to entertain a run, he’s the best that we have right now.

Or is he? The other part of the symbolism is what we don’t see – who locked Obama out? Is there a reincarnated FDR in the wings? Is there a true progressive moving through the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to open those locked doors?

Now THAT would fall in the realm of the trickster.

Synchronicity and Jose Arguelles

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Trish and Rob

On March 22, our post was entitled, December 21, 2012 – What It Is and Isn’t. In this post, we wrote about Jose Arguelles:

“The hype about 2012 probably began in 1987, with The Mayan Factor:  Path Beyond Technology, written by Jose Arguelles. In the book, he states that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Since the Mayans were consummate astrologers and astronomers, his statement has rippled through space and time until it reached a tipping point. Google that date, December 21, 2012, and more than seven million links show up.”

On Wednesday, March 23, Rob remarked that someone had found our blog by searching for: Jose Arguelles is dead. Rob, who once interviewed Arguelles for OMNI Magazine, put the same phrase into Google and an article, apparently written in 1998, appeared in which Arguelles said that he was dead.

“No one but I, and perhaps that one now known as Bolon Ik, know how many times I have died. I died at least half a dozen times through my spiritual body before my son died completely for all of me. Then I died my seventh death, and knew to take a path that would not return me to the corporate identity that died along with my son. That was over ten years ago.”

He went on to say that he was now Valum Votan, an ancient Mayan priest who was speaking  through him. “Valum Votan is no name you ever knew, and one of which I scarcely had any cognizance, until it came full blown to me. And taking on this name, I am tested and tested yet again. But now I know it to be true: “Votan lives in Arguelles! Arguelles is dead!”

So we were surprised last night (3-24) to read an article in Reality Sandwich that Jose Arguelles/Valum Votan died the day before (3-23).

Part of that day, we had worked on a proposal for a third synchro book that addresses synchronicity and the paradigm shift of 2012 and beyond. We were specifically trying to figure out how to address Arguelles in a way that wouldn’t overwhelm the idea of synchronicity and its role in navigating the paradigm shift.

According to the message that Daniel Pinchbeck received from the foundation that Arguelles started, he died at 6:10 AM on March 23, under the Red Spectral Moon, the same moon and exact same time at which he was born. He was 72.

We both recall reading The Mayan Factor, and then taking part in the Harmonic Convergence on August 15-16, 1987. We surprised ourselves by rising early so that we were at the beach in Fort Lauderdale at sunrise on both morning.

Arguelles described the HC as the onset of a time of significant change in the world. Indeed, two years later, the Soviet Union collapsed. We also remember the book predicting a new means of worldwide communication. Of course, that turned out to be the Internet, which was in it’s infancy in the mid-1980s and no one else was making any such predictions.

Here is how he said it, in 1987 predicting the collapse of the Soviet Union and emergence of the Internet. You’ll see that his writing style was not the easiest to follow, but if you read closely, it’s all there.

“Culminating in the globally chaotic and irrevocably transformative events of 1987-1992, including the resonant frequency shift of 1987, the concurrent collapse or regrouping of the major governments, and the emergence of the resonant field paradigm and a corresponding unified global communications network operating with bio-regional command bases, this era is pivotal in preparing for the conclusion not only of the baktun but of the entire 5,200-tun synchronization beam. During this era–the storm of transformation–the entire wave of history crests. Maximum acceleration and random entropy give way to ever-widening circles of synchronization.”

Kabenaran

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

That word, Kebenaran, which is Javanese, relates to unusual coincidences, and to us it sounds like something out of the world of Kurt Vonnegut with his karass and granfaloons.  Here’s some Javanese wisdom, courtesy of Peter Levenda, our friend and author of tomes on the mysterious realms.
***

“Events do not happen because of chance, but manifest themselves because of hidden forces that bring about each co-incidence, each kebenaran.   A new event is a crossroad, a co-inciding, in which the shadow of inevitability becomes a fact.”

— Niels Mulder, Mysticism in Java: Ideology in Indonesia, Amsterdam: the Pepin Press, 1998, p.84

The Javanese term he uses, kebenaran, is interesting.  It comes from the root “benar” which means “true.”  The word kebenaran means “truth” as a noun, but in its adverbial form it means “by chance, by accident.”  Thus, a Javanese understanding of the relationship between “truth” and “chance”?

The term “hidden force” is also suggestive, for there was a novel about Java by L. Couperus about 100 years ago with that title.  You will find it referenced in “Sinister Forces” but I don’t remember the volume.

+++

Peter has recently returned from Java where he was involved in following up on a legend that Hitler survived the war and died in Indonesia. We’ll be seeing him this weekend and will find out more from the world of ‘Sinister Forces.’

He also promises to bring me a novel he found in a bookstore in Java that features a gushy blurb by me on the cover. He had already bought the novel and was reading it when he noticed the blurb. Interestingly, I never heard of the book and didn’t write the blurb. – R
