A Ghostly Invite

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Earlier this week, Trish received a call from a writer friend on the other coast of Florida, who in the course of their conversation invited us to come for a visit. She explained that her middle daughter, L, has been experiencing ghostly encounters in her room at night, and she won’t sleep in the room any longer. She also insists that the only person who can rid her room of the ghost is Trish.

That comment baffled Trish. She has never attempted to chase away a phantasm. We’ve met the girl in question a couple of times. She’s in her mid-teens, seems to possess psychic abilities, and has a strong interest in the subject.

Since we were planning to visit daughter Megan in a couple of weeks as she finishes her college undergrad studies, the invitation will work out. But even before making the trip we’ve experienced a couple of related synchros.

The day following that conversation, the copyedited galleys arrived for Synchronicity and the Other Side, and we were busy reading the chapters when we got a call from Megan. She was alone in the art building working in her studio when she heard a chair moving on the other side of the partition. When she heard it again, she decided to take a look to see who had quietly arrived.

No one was there. She returned to her studio, started painting again, and heard the chair moving and bumping against the partition. At that point, Megan headed for the door, and called Trish.

Hmm, two ghost-related calls in the same week.  But here’s what prompted me to write about it. Just as Megan called and told her story, I’d taken a break from reading the galleys. After the call, I went back and the very next line I read was: “I’ve heard rapping sounds that have no apparent cause.”

It’s the first line of the second paragraph of chapter 9, Objects of Interest, which is about how spirits use objects to communicate….yes, like rolling a chair into a partition. That one isn’t in the book, but maybe it should be.

3:33

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Trish and Rob


Anne Strieber is thorough, a gem. She continues to send emails our way that she and Whitley receive that might pertain to synchronicity. Today, we received an email about a number cluster – 3:33. Jung considered number clusters to be archetypes that become active within us until we get the message.

We’ve covered 11:11 and its various permutations before, and in 7 Secrets of Synchronicity we talked about 3:33, but not in any great depth. Any feedback on this one is much appreciated – by Jarett, the man who experienced it, and by all the rest of us.

We’ve left Jarett’s email pretty much intact, unedited except for a few commas, periods, indentations for paragraphs. We have also deleted, at his request, his last name.

+++

Hello,
This question is for Anne Strieber if possible if not any information on this for me would be greatly appreciated. I am a little unsettled by this, I think just because of recent events related by me from a friend. I will start just by giving you a bit of information about myself. I am 32 year old male from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada. I have always believed in the UFO phenomenon and the possibility we are not alone, but was never active in the study of it.

When I first moved to Halifax Nova Scotia I met a girl and we started dating. We got pretty serious moved in together and dated for several years. While we were together I noticed a number of times that in the middle of the night throughout the relationship I would wake up at 3:33 a.m. At this point in time I did not have any knowledge of the phenomenon and just thought it was my internal clock or some other natural occurrence. This lasted for maybe a year or so. We eventually ended our relationship but remained good friends and still do to this day.

Now, I was just hanging out with her about a week ago, the first time in quite awhile, and we were talking with friends, I can’t remember exactly what about. And then I over heard her saying to someone else that she has been waking up every night for the last couple weeks at exactly 3:33. I listened intently but never told her of the occurrence that happened to me while we dated, feeling like she would think I’m nuts or making things up, seeing that she is a very skeptical person.

About a year or so ago another friend of mine got me listening to Coast to Coast AM and I started becoming more interested in the paranormal, still not thinking my experience was. Then yesterday, March 28/11, I downloaded the show that aired March 13, 2011 that Whitley and Anne Strieber hosted with Richard Dolan. During Open Lines, I believe, Mrs. Strieber touched on this topic and my experience and the conversation with my ex really hit me and I was somewhat startled.

Today I began to look up information on-line about this but have not found much except some people relating this to a religious experience, to which I do not subscribe. I do not outright deny the possibility, but I am not a religious person  and would like information regarding another possible explanation. Any help you can give me would be great.  I just wish to try to understand this a little better.  I know you can not give me a definitive answer to why this occurs but I need more information on this than what the internet can provide me at this point. I have emailed this and another to Stanton Friedman, just because he lives a few hours away from me,  tho I am unsure if he has information about this, to try to understand this better.

Thank you for your time and listening,
Jarett

Mercury Retro and Source Code

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Trish and Rob

This Merc retro story smacks of the trickster.  I’m beginning to think that maybe a lot of the snafus what we experience during these periods are really more about the trickster than anything else.  The trickster, after all, is sometimes so in your face that you can’t ignore what has happened. You’re forced to look at the event or experience and figure out what the message is. You may resist, screaming and howling all the way to the discovery, but one way or another, the trickster gets his message across.

So this afternoon, we decide to go see Source Code. We leave the house a bit early so we can go by the hardware store for ant killer. It’s been unseasonably hot in Florida and already, we’re being inundated by ants. These ants are the hungry, relentless types. Obnoxious.

So while Rob is in the hardware store, I run into the drug store for some stuff. I finish before he does, don’t have the key to the car, so I head into the hardware store. He’s at the counter, the clerk hurries over, he tells her we’re on our way to the movie and we’re running late. In other words, can we get on with it, please?

“Oh, what movie are you seeing?” she asks.

“Source code.”

She wrinkles her nose. “Nope. Tonight I’m off to see Insidious, by the same people who did Paranormal Activity. Did you guys see that?

Yes,we did. Okay movie. I ask what she finds offensive about Source Code, which came out only today, April 1. She has just seen the trailer, but feels that Jake Gyllenhaal is just trying to re-do The Matrix. We leave fast, we’re now late for the movie. And we are about to sustain a big fat dent in the rear right corner of our car.

In the parking lot, we have a giant vehicle to our left, not a Hummer but something longer, maybe a Suburban or a van of some kind that blocks Rob’s view of oncoming cars as he backs out. I hear a sickening crunch, squeeze my eyes shut. Crap, are you kidding me? I look back and yes, the bad news is there.

A skinny, elderly man hops out of his car and is already pulling a card from his wallet when Rob and I reach him. He speaks with an accent, he wants us to call his son. He doesn’t have his cell with him, neither does Rob, and my cell oddly refuses to get a signal. I keep trying the son’s number while Rob and the man debate the issues about damage to his car. It’s minimal, some black streaks from our fender.

I start talking to the man in Spanish. Will he take cash for the damage? Rob pulls out a hundred dollar bill. “This should cover it,” he says.

“Cincuenta mas,” the old man says. Fifty more. “The car it is new.”

I still can’t get a signal. I tell the man he needs to go into Walgreen’s to call his son. He rolls his eyes. He is NOT happy. No one is HAPPY. Suddenly, Rob is working on he guy’s fender with some stuff he bought in the hardware store. The black paint from our car comes off his fender. Our car is much worse off.

“Look at this,” Rob says in English. “No problem. The paint is gone. If this were my car, I’d take the hundred bucks and leave.”

Nope, the guy isn’t having any of it. In Spanish, I ask if he’ll take another fifty bucks for the minimal damage. He mulls it over, looks at the bills, nods. That’s it. Money exchanges hands, we head off to the movie – and at some point during the course of this mind blowing big screen tale, I recognize the eerie parallels.

Source Code is about parallel realities, the world of physicists Michio Kaku and Brian Greene, an intelligent thriller, that focuses on the last eight minutes of the life of a man on a doomed train. One review compared it to Ground Hog Day, 24, and The Matrix. This same reviewer called the idea “preposterous,” but noted that Gyllenhaal excelled in this role. And yes, he does. He’s amazing. The story, the plot, the concept, everything is tightly written, satisfying to the very last second. Move over, Keanu Reeves, you’re yesterday’s paradigm.

When we walked out of this movie, I felt that our personal precursor to this movie was the fender bender incident. It could have gone any number of ways, and did, if you subscribe to the many world theory of quantum physics. In one reality, for instance, the man’s son arrived, insurance companies were summoned, our rates soared. In another, it didn’t happen. In yet another possibility, we settled for a hundred bucks. Or fifty. Or, the best scenario, we didn’t back into this guy at all. But what I took away from this brilliant movie is that each scenario is viable.

I’m just grateful that the possibility we experienced  cost us just $150 and no injuries to anyone, anywhere. A car can be replaced, a life cannot. Unless you’re Gyllenhaal, in Source Code.

The Kardashev scale

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Here’s an article from Wikipedia about how to measure the advancement of civilization. It’s based on technology and energy use. However, it doesn’t take into account the human tendency to use technology for advanced weapon systems that might ultimately to destroy us and the planet. Likewise, no mention is made of the tendency to damage or destroy the environment in our search for energy.

At the rate we’re going, we probably will not reach the level of a Type I civilization. Take a look and see what you think.

+++

The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring an advanced civilization’s level of technological advancement. The scale is only theoretical and in terms of an actual civilization highly speculative; however, it puts energy consumption of an entire civilization in acosmic perspective. It was first proposed in 1964 by the SovietRussian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.

The scale has three designated categories called Type I, II, and III. These are based on the amount of usable energy a civilization has at its disposal, and the degree of space colonization. In general terms, a Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of its solar system, and Type III of its galaxy.[1]

The original and the final draft for this particular scale had energy consumptions ranging so widely from each other, that Kardashev himself revised the scale as to include values between, in hundredths. The human civilization as of 2010 is currently somewhere around 0.72, with calculations suggesting we may attain Type I status in about 100–200 years, Type II status in a few thousand years, and Type III status in about 100,000 to a million years.[2]

+++

Like most futuristic perspectives,  the role of spiritual advancement is left out on this scale as if it were immaterial for our progress as humans.  Okay, time to remedy that. Here’s the MacGregor scale that focuses solely on a view of the future through a more holistic approach.

Let’s see, we will reach a Type I civilization when state religions disappear, when dogmas are released, when religious authorities no longer dictate what is right or wrong in a spiritual context. This shift is accompanied by communion with beings from other dimensions, who interact openly with us. The shift takes place in 1 to 100 years.

Type II civilization follows when national borders disappear and governments are replaced by collective decision-making that is made in the dream world. Earth wars are replaced by higher challenges of a non-physical nature.

We’ll reach Type III civilization when the spiritual quest is the center of existence, when we learn to move easily between the physical and  non-physical realms, when we develop the ability to transport ourselves across the cosmos,  across the dimensions not by spacecrafts, but through through our abilities to move ourselves at a higher vibrational level through time and space.

Are we ready for this journey?

Into the Source

Posted on April 3, 2011 by Trish and Rob

To avoid sounding stupid, we rarely post anything about God. We hear commentators and politicians make fools of themselves daily by talking as if God is their buddy and he usually leans quite to the right politically. In sports, God is asked to favor one team over another.

We tend to use terms like Source or Source Energy or the Universe. But Glenn Beck would no doubt tell us those are just names for the creator used by left-leaning New Agers who think God is green. And, hey,  he’s probably right.

So when someone asked mystic Leonard Jacobson if God has human attributes, we found his response quite interesting. Jacobson tells us that God is just a word made up by humans. God is not compassionate, God is not loving. Rather, God is compassion, God is love. God is all that is.

We found Jacobson’s You Tube video, Experiencing God, on Marcus Anthony’s web site.  If you saw it there, it’s worth watching again.

Green Apples

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

Ever wonder how psychics get their information?

Natalie Thomas, a psychic from Australia, always has intriguing synchros. This one is no exception!

Recently, she attended her second class in mediumship, where each member of the group takes turns “facilitating.” She has reservations about channeling. “Trance mediumship is such a dodgy thing, and being a natural cynic, I was ready for a three -ringed circus. I was not disappointed!The woman next to me appeared to be acting, and acting badly. She had a fake accent, waving her hands wildly and making clicking noises in between ‘entities’. She was hilarious. Despite all that, I started to feel a sense of genuine excitement when it was my turn. I didn’t understand why as I really don’t believe in it. I have yet to be convinced of trance mediumship.”

Natalie goes on to explain what she felt:

“Anyway, I started to feel like there was a presence coming into my space and I felt ‘overcome’ with the most profoundly beautiful loving energy. I struggled to speak and my voice was extremely soft. I asked who was with me and I was shown an angel who was so beautiful, he/she was surrounded by a beautiful pink and gold light. Instantly, I felt safe enough to allow communication. The angel’s head then turned into an eagle and freaked me out a little.

“The message that came through was about the animal die offs. He said that the birds and the fish were first, but land beasts were to follow, and to not be alarmed by this. Everything was as it should be. He showed me a code. The code was somehow programmed into the animals and when it was activated, they knew what had to be done, and that it was their time to go home.

“The code was like electricity and looked like electrical impulses sort of…..To me, it looked almost like a Domino pattern of dots – flashing intermittently. I thanked him for the message and promptly discounted it.”

At the end of the session, during meditation, Natalie asked for some sort of verification. She got an image of a green apple. She didn’t have any idea what it meant, but filed the image away for future reference.

A week later, while talking to a lady connected with the channeling, her Apple ipod died. “My iPod cover is lime green. I couldn’t recharge it because my two chargers have disappeared into the thin air. Another medium present at the group was also shown the green apple in his meditation, and his sunglasses and thongs went missing.”

This one has the trickster’s fingerprints all over it.  The two psychic who received an image of a green apple during their meditating after the class had objects mysteriously disappear. Natalie’s iPod with the lime green (apple green?) cover went dead and the chargers had vanished.  What’s the message?

Well, let’s look at apple in mythology and fairy tales. We all know about the apple in Genesis – how Eve plucked and ate the forbidden fruit from a tree in paradise. God had forbidden Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge, but one day Eve plucked an apple and ate it. She probably hadn’t eaten breakfast! But for that, she and Adam were cast out of paradise. That’s probably where the apple first became associated with sin – specifically, the sins committed by a woman.

This archetype, today, is prevalent in the logo for Desperate Housewives. Anyone who has seen even a single episode of the show gets it:  Wow, a bunch of sinning women in suburbia. Let’s tune in.


Then there’s the poison apple in Snow White, fed to her by her wicked (of course) stepmother, who is so vain that she’s jealous Snow White is more beautiful than she is and attempts to kill her. Are we seeing a pattern here? Women as sinners, as temptation, as beings so vain they will kill to eliminate the competition. It makes for interesting fiction, but doesn’t do much for women.

But usually, the archetypal apple is red, not green. This may be important in terms of what Natalie and the other psychic saw. Interestingly, the green apple seems to be an equal opportunity archetype; the other psychic was male.

So I’m not sure what this green apple archetype is about. On the surface, it may be a reflection of Natalie’s skepticism about channeling. But given the missing chargers and the items the male psychic lost, what’s the deeper meaning?

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.
