July 4

Posted on July 4, 2023 by Trish and Rob

 

July 4. Independence Day.

You know, when the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and established the U. S of A.

But given the state of this country right now, where affirmative action has been banned for college admissions, where Roe was overturned, books are being banned and trans and gays are openly discriminated against against,  the holiday means only a lot of firecracker noise that leaves Nigel petrified and hiding under Rob’s desk.

The pundits tell us we’re a country of laws. That our laws keep democracy intact. But as far as I can see right now, the party that used to call themselves Republicans support a man with federal indictments against him who now is entangled in legal troubles and the party stands for basically nothing at all. They’ve lost their collective soul to a consuming hunger for power and chaos.

My parents were once Republicans. But if they were alive now they wouldn’t touch this party.

I’m still trying to figure out how a man like trump, a guy so clearly an egocentric narcissistic personality, was elected to begin with and how he divided the country so well. Since he announced his presidency in 2015 and rode down that silly staircase with Melania behind him, just the sight of him has nauseated me. Now, in 2023, hearing his voice, his endless lies, his whines about being a “political victim” have become laughable.

Hey, it’s Orange Man, again, lying to a new rally …

But Trump aside, where it this country headed? Democracy has been a good experiment for 247 years. Will it last longer?

The Mystical Underground: Preston Dennett And Dolly Safron: They Are Here

Posted on July 2, 2023 by Trish and Rob

A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Preston Dennett And Dolly Safron: “They Are Here”:

https://on.soundcloud.com/uMWtN

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with…

And here’s the You Tube version:

 

Preston Dennett and Dolly Safron have both been with us here previously. Preston began investigating UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends, and co-workers had dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated various paranormal phenomena. He is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of 30 books and more than 100 articles on UFOs and the paranormal. One of his recent books, SYMMETRY: A True UFO Adventure. It features the incredible story of UFO/alien contact by a woman named Dolly Safran. And we’re pleased that Dolly is here with us today, too.

Dolly Safran has worked as a limo driver, assistant manager at Wendy’s, a zookeeper, a bus driver, a security guard, a nurse, and more.  She has also worked for the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of Defense.

Dolly has had life-long experiences with extraterrestrials that began around the age of two, and they are ongoing. She has an astonishing story that she told Preston about her varied experiences among the Grays. What makes Dolly’s story particularly interesting is that she has had total recall of her experiences since age 14 and even remembers the earlier ones that had been blocked. Besides that, while many abductees have fearful experiences, Dolly considers the Grays more like family than frightful aliens and doesn’t consider herself an abductee.

Jon’s Eerie Synchro

Posted on June 30, 2023 by Trish and Rob

These photos were sent by Jon Posey, our podcast producer and tech magician.

In both, a young child and a dog are standing inside by a door watching someone or something outside. The bottom picture is Jon himself at 4 or 5,  standing with his uncle’s dog, in his uncle’s house ,1973 or so.

The top photo is young Carlie in 2013, standing in her Uncle Jon’s house, with her uncle’s dog.

50 years apart, same event in an uncle’s house, with the uncle’s dog, doing the same thing, peering out the door. Jon says he doesn’t have any idea what the synchro means. My only idea is that something in Jon’s life may be entering a cycle.

It’s an eerie one.

GOOGLE’S AI, BARD

Posted on June 29, 2023 by Trish and Rob

 

How good is Google’s AI, Bard?

Well, you decide. My question was:What’s the best synchronicity ever recorded? Here was Bard’s answer.

There are many examples of synchronicity that have been recorded, but one of the most famous is the story of the “double rainbow” that appeared over the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The rainbow was seen by many people, both in person and on television, and it was seen as a sign of hope and resilience in the wake of the tragedy.

Another example of synchronicity is the story of the “miracle of the Andes”. In 1972, a plane carrying a rugby team crashed in the Andes mountains. The survivors were stranded on the mountain for 72 days, during which time they were forced to eat the flesh of their dead teammates in order to survive. Despite the extreme circumstances, the survivors all made it off the mountain alive.

These are just two examples of synchronicity that have been recorded. There are many other examples, both large and small, that happen every day. Some people believe that synchronicity is a sign that there is a greater plan at work in the universe, while others believe that it is simply a coincidence. Whatever the explanation, synchronicity is a fascinating phenomenon that continues to capture the attention of people all over the world.

Here are some other examples of synchronicity:

A person is thinking about a friend they haven’t seen in a long time, and then they run into that friend the next day.

A person has a dream about a future event that then happens in real life.

A person makes a decision based on a hunch, and then that decision turns out to be the right one.

A person meets someone who seems to know them already, even though they’ve never met before.

These are just a few examples of the many ways in which synchronicity can manifest itself in our lives. While some people believe that synchronicity is simply a coincidence, others believe that it is a sign that there is something more to our existence than what we can see and understand.

++++

Not too bad, really. But do I want an AI writing our posts?

No, thanks. It was an interesting experiment.

Pluto: the Great Equalizer?

Posted on June 27, 2023 by Trish and Rob

Will Pluto’s last gasp in Capricorn – at least until May 2024, when Pluto briefly retrogrades back into it – be Trump’s final reckoning? Here’s why I’m thinking it’s likely.

It’s ironic that Pluto, demoted from it’s planetary status in 2006, is now deemed a “dwarf” planet. Astrologers ignore it at their own peril.

Pluto was briefly in Aquarius from March 23, 2023 to June 11, 2023. Aquarius is a democratically oriented sign, the sign of ordinary people. As astrologer Michelle Perrin said, once Pluto enters Aquarius, ”…a lot of the overreach of power that was accumulated during the Pluto transit in the Capricorn era (2008 – 2023) could start to see the push back from ordinary people and we can expect the trend to  accelerate over the upcoming years. Pluto in Aquarius is David fighting Goliath – and winning.”

On June 9, while Pluto was in equalizer Aquarius – and just 2 days before it retrograded back into Capricorn – the prosecution charged trump with 37 felonies, including 31 counts under the Espionage Act of “willful retention” of classified records.So for Trump this major transit looks like, Karma, baby. You’ll finally be held accountable.

BUT.

This is trump we’re talking about. Say the trial is delayed and runs into the election and he wins. Then he pardons himself and that’s it. Off the hook again and ready to topple democracy this time around!

Thing is, Pluto will be in Aquarius until 2044. A generation of reckoning.He’ll be 97 when it finally enters Pisces. And if Pluto really is the great equalizer, he’ll be in prison. Also the wannabe autocrats and politicians like DeSantis and his ban books and ban trans and people of color and everything else that he deems “woke”will be just a sad, pathetic blip in history that died when ordinary people came together and shouted, “Enough! Fuck off!”

Stevie Nicks

Posted on June 23, 2023 by Trish and Rob

   

 

Recenltly, our dughter surprised us with a Stevie Nicks  concert at Orlando’s Amway stadium. It was supposed to be a surprise and combined present for mother’s day,father’s day, and Rob’s and my respective birthdays.

I admittedly got curious about what the big surprise was, so I googled “events in Orlando May 25” and the Nicks concert was the first link that came up. WoW!

I  figured it would be like time traveling. After all, she was part of my college years, when the music all had men and women who became icons. Jimi Hendrixm Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Joan Baez… You get the idea. There are certain pieces of music from her time with Fleetwood Mac that are connected to numerous good memories from the sixties.

When she came onstage, I think everyone in the 20,000-seat stadium was transfixed.Her voice is as powerful and sweeping as what I remember. Even though we were sitting high up, our seats were good, the view distant – but unobstructed.

The Amway stadium was really well organized, directing people to their seats, up this escalator, then this one…

So thank you again, Megger, for a fantastic night!!

Mark’s Mom & the Shiny Nickel

Posted on June 21, 2023 by Trish and Rob

 

After my sister’s memorial service on June 15, I was sitting with two of Mary’s closest friends from high school, Tracy and Sue, who flew up from Fort Lauderdale for the service. Neil brought a friend, Mark Brown, over to our table and introduced use.
“Mark has a great synchronicity story, Trish, about spirit contact. You have to hear this.”
So here is Mark’s story.

“My mom was 88 last year and I was mad at myself for only seeing her once in the prior year. She lived in Arizona. I made a bet with a friend at work, who’s a misguided Yankee fan when he should be a Red Sox fan. I said to him that I would wear Yankee’s attire in the office if I did not make reservations to see my mom before the end of February. If I did make those plans, he owed me a shiny nickel. It’s important to know the shiny part of the deal. Annie, my daughter, and I went out and saw mom on President’s weekend and had a great visit. I won the nickel, but it was not that shiny. While visiting with mom, we went out to restaurants and visited with my brother out there. It was a normal visit.

“To our complete surprise, she died eight days later. We were glad that she had visits with new great grandchildren and us before she went. None of us saw it coming so all of our visits were very upbeat. Tracy, my wife, and others stated what a great way to die. At first, I wasn’t ready to hear that, but I did not want her to suffer so I think that makes a lot of sense.

“In my office, I leave nuts and gum for anyone who stops by. Sometimes, people leave change, but not most of the time. Days after the funeral, I came back to my office. Most everything was normal. I stepped out for some reason and when I came back, someone must have come in for almonds. On the floor, there was one almond and the shiniest nickel I’d ever seen. It was not from the person I made the bet with because he was not in the office that day. Surely, someone could have dropped off change, but that was the only coin visible.

“This is where you can say I’m nuts (pun intended), but I take it as a sign that mom wanted me to know that she was fine. When I told this to others in my family, two of them had their own “nickel” experiences.

“This brought me comfort and I hope this true story does the same for you.

P.S. I sent this to a person I know from coaching soccer and here was her reaction:

“I was in the middle of reading your story, Ava and I were in line at Chick Fil A ordering dinner. I hadn’t finished your story yet, but had to pull out my money to pay, which included change. (The total was $10.15). The first coin, out of all the coins, I pulled out and could have pulled out, was a very shiny nickel. I kid you not. I don’t believe in coincidences. Your mom is still okay. So, thanks for taking time to share with me. I really appreciate it.”

And thank you, Mark, for sharing this and thank you, Neil, for introducing Mark and me!! This my be the first shiny nickel story I’ve heard related to spirit contact. But I’ve learned that spirits can use virtually anything to let us know they’re fine.

Happy summer solstice to everyone!

MY SISTER’S MEMORIAL

Posted on June 19, 2023 by Trish and Rob

On June 15, my sister’s beautiful memorial was attended by more than 50 people and was held in the same place in downtown Atlanta where she and Neal celebrated their marriage after the ceremony in 2017. Among the guests were two of Mary’s oldest friends from Mary’s high school  years – Sue and Tracy, who had flown in Fort Lauderdale.

Her  sons  -Ashton, Avery, and Ardon – are married or engaged to three remarkable women – Kerri, Krista, and Ceilidih and they arranged all the details that afternoon and did a fabulous job.

All six of them spoke and so did Neil’s daughter, Casey. Megan and I spoke and Neal did as well, of course. All the talks were deeply moving and  emotional and really communicated the impact Mary had on their lives.

Kerri also put together A beautiful video of Mary’s life that was shown at the end. But when we first entered the room this image was on the screen (a bit blurred here, I snapped it from the video) and I took one look at it and thought, Who is that? She looks so regal!

I guess we never know how someone we love impacts the lives of others  until they’re gone. I certainly learned the depth and breadth of Mary’s impact. I consider myself very fortunate that we were born sisters this time around.
