Another Tom Cutbush Spirit Contact

 

On March 13, we posted a spirit contact story that happened to Janice Cutbush. It was the first of four that Janice sent. This is the second one. A word first about this picture. Janice’s daughter, Andrea, took the photo on an overcast day when she was out for her morning run. That trail of light wasn’t visible to the naked eye. It looks like a trail of luminous orbs.

From Janice:

These communications both involve my daughter and photography. She had been living and working in Boston for the last two years after college when her dad died. She was devastated when it happened, as we all were. She is a jogger and loves to run long distance.

After her dad died, she told me running kept her sane. She was fond of running early in the morning before work to start her day and often ran along the Charles River when the sunlight was new. One morning she decided to bring her camera. It was fall and the trees were turning color so she thought she might get some good foliage pictures.

She took a picture looking over a walking bridge near the Charles. No one was on the bridge and there were no shadows yet. When she got the picture developed, it showed a figure of light in the shape of a runner on the bridge. It was so clearly a spirit, we couldn’t believe our eyes. We all kept turning the picture this way and that to see if the image would change. It was definitely the spirit of her dad keeping her company on her morning run, which is when he also liked to run.

Two years after Tom died, in September of 1998, Andrea got married to her college sweetheart, Craig. Tom loved Craig even though they didn’t know each other very long. It was rare for her dad to like one of her boyfriends. They rarely met his high standards for his only daughter. So the fact that he approved of Craig was significant. The wedding was huge, 200 plus people. It was a wild joyful celebration, maybe more than it would have been if her dad hadn’t died. Everyone was wanting a festive occasion to erase the sadness we’d all been through the last two years. She didn’t hire a professional videographer but there were a number of people who took videos so the fun was well documented.

Several weeks later, I threw a casual post-wedding party for close friends to preview the videos people had taken. We were sitting in my living room with the movie in the TV, everyone laughing as they remembered the fun, when the camera panned to the Congo line, which was long and hilarious. All of a sudden there was a vivid unmistakable image of Andrea’s dad in the Congo line, with his mustache, curly hair and big grin, and he was having the time of his life. The room went silent. Then someone said, “Hey hit rewind-that guy looks just like Tom!”

I rewound the tape and paused it. Sure enough it was Tom’s likeness dancing and having a blast at his daughter’s wedding. My friends were a little spooked and kept asking me to rewind back to that place. I called my daughter and asked her if she’d seen this video. She had not. It was one taken by a friend of her in-laws. When I described the man in the video, she said that it was a doctor friend of her in-laws who happened to have a mustache.

Several days after the party, I watched the video again and again, but never saw  Tom except for that first viewing. It was a guest I didn’t know who slightly resembled Tom. If I had been alone when watching the video I would have thought the image of Tom dancing was a figment of my imagination, but there were 12 other people in the room who saw him in the film too. He wanted me to know he attended his daughter’s wedding and had a great time just as he would have had in life.

Sparrows of Canada

 

I ran across a fascinating article in National Geographic about white-throated sparrows across Canada. In the last two decades, these birds have changed one of their calls from a three-note call to a two-note call. In the article, the audios of both calls are included and you can hear the distinct difference.

“‘Although some bird calls undergo slow revolutions, this rapid shift in a bird’s song has never been observed before,’ says Ken Otter, lead author of the study, published July 2 in the journal Current Biology. ‘There’s nothing that we know of that’s spread like this.’”
This new song was first noticed in the late 1990s in northern British Columbia and by 2015 every sparrow west of central Ontario was singing this new tune. It’s still spreading in western Quebec, nearly 2,000 miles from where he had started.

Jeffrey Podos, who studies birdsongs at the University of Massachusetts Amherst says that the pace at which the song is spreading is “…somewhat surprising. It’s like a blue wave.”
That phrase struck me. Sometimes, phenomena in nature parallels or portends events in the world of humans. Is it a synchronicity – or wishful thinking – that may point to a blue wave on election day?

Counting alien civilizations

A NOTE FIRST: MERCURY TURNS DIRECT AT 1: 26 am PDT, 4:26 am EDT!! YAY!

Above is the Drake equations: the first first equation to attempt to quantify how many alien civilizations might be present in our own galaxy today.

When mainstream scientists talk about space aliens, they’re referring to any intelligent beings who might be living in far, far, far off civilizations. They don’t talk about any such aliens being just around the corner, so to speak, or abducting your neighbors.  That’s for the ufologists and fans of the ancient alien scenario.

So it’s interesting when scientist analyze the Milky Way and tell us that at the very minimum there are probably at least 36 civilizations in existence…out there.

They are cited in an article in Forbes.com, noting that “even if we consider that many of these worlds may be false positives, more like mini-Neptunes than Earth, or otherwise uninhabitable for a variety of reasons, there are still at least billions of planets that have properties analogous to Earth in our Milky Way right now.”

Looking at it from that perspective, the 36 civilizations seem pretty puny, indeed.

Scientist tracking the likelihood of alien civilizations also tend to look at the creation of life as the result of random mix of microbes gradually evolving, and gradually forming creatures with intelligence life. What are the chances, right?

According to article author Ethan Seigel: “It’s kind of ironic, then, that just a few weeks ago, a very responsible paper was written, highlighting what you should be able to infer about life in the Universe based on what’s arisen on Earth. We know what the early conditions on Earth were and how often similar conditions appear to arise in our Universe, and we understand how statistical inference works, so putting those pieces of information together allows us to learn what the most likely outcomes are if we were to turn back the clock and start over with a “young Earth” in the early Solar System.

“That paper found that it’s very likely that life arises frequently in the Universe, but that it’s more likely than not that intelligent life is rare. The confidence levels on those findings are not very good but the best we have, which is what you’d expect given a successful sample size of one: Earth alone.”

The so-called ‘very responsible papers,’ of course are ones based on randomness and statistics – as espoused above – but not higher awareness. That said, others exploring on the frontiers of science are looking at consciousness itself preceding physical matter, not being created as a result of it. Therefore, things might not be quite so random, as mainstream scientists suspect. Hopefully, someday those scientists exploring the frontiers of science as well as the frontiers of the universe will also be writing ‘very responsible papers.’

222

On July 12, author Pam Grout will be our guest on our podcast, The Mystical Underground. Some years back, I ran across her book E2. The idea that’s central to this book and her subsequent books- E3, Thank and Grow Rich, The Course in Miracles Experiment – is that we create our own realities.

The idea isn’t original, but Grout’s writing is so engaging, funny, and  practical that the idea is presented in new ways. So I was going through The Course in Miracles Experiment, in which I learned that she’d lost her only daughter, Taz, I flipped to the last page. Here she writes: If it wasn’t for my readers, I’m not sure I’d even be here. You have kept me going with your kind words, your encouragement, your sightings of 222. I love that Taz has become special to so many of you. She truly was (and still is) a remarkable person.

As a mother, I marveled that she’d survived such a loss. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children. Then I started wondering about the 222.
I glanced down at my outlook icon and saw that I had 222 emails.

A synchro, for sure. But what did it mean?

So I started Googling.

From here it means,”…number 222 signifies your call to action, to further the path you are on, or any new path you are on. It also symbolizes that you have taken in actions of other people and you recognize them as well.

Or, defined by this site, it means:  The next time you see angel number 222, pay attention because it can be your angel trying to send you a message, and you’re just too distracted or busy to notice!

I emailed Holly Granquist, a numerologist we’ve posted about, and asked her take on 222. She replied:

Trish,  222 is  most favorable. It says you’re in the right place at the right time.

I don’t know if that’s what the numbers mean for Pam. But with any number clusters, any synchronicity, the only meaning that matters is the one you define and decipher for yourself. And I love Holly’s take.

A more positive spin on Mercury retrograde

Three times a year, Mercury – the planet of communication – turns retrograde, where it appears to be moving backward relative to earth. It’s typically a time when communication goes haywire, travel plans change without warning, computers and phones crash, you miss appointments, emails don’t arrive, money is late arriving. There are plenty of do NOTs for these retro periods – which we’re in until July 12 – but how can we use these periods in a positive sense?

Mercury retrograde is an excellent time to reconsider, rewrite, rethink. But it’s also a time when our natural intuitive and psychic ability can roar out of hiding, as if to help compensate for what’s going haywire in the outside world.

Along with heightened intuition, synchronicities are likely to proliferate – often to guide us or to confirm a pending decision. Sometimes, these synchros manifest themselves as an impulse to do or try something we haven’t done before. This type of synchronicity seems to have become more prominent during the pandemic. I think this is because our natures are inherently creative and when we’re cooped up and living through unfamiliar chaos, synchronicities occur to remind us of who and what we are and who we are becoming. They show up to illustrate that magic exists regardless of what’s going on around us.

We can be more reflective during Mercury retrogrades and often emerge from these periods with greater clarity about where we’re going.

I know it’s tough to look at retrogrades favorably when your computer is crashing and someone has stolen your credit card. But try!

Where’s the love?

 

In early 1980s, Robert Plutchik, an M.D., psychologist, and researcher, defined eight core emotions that everyone experiences. He grouped them into four pairs of polar opposites— joy-sadness, anger-fear, trust-distrust, surprise-anticipation.

In the 90’s, Paul Ekman, another psychologist specializing in emotions, reduced the number of core emotions to anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. He refined Plutnik’s concept of emotional intensity. In refining Plutnik’s concepts, he established a classification system based on measuring the 42 facial muscles, which we use to express those six core emotion.

More recently, new research from the University of Glasgow suggested there are only for core emotions—happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Apparently, fear and surprise shared common facial signals, such as eyes wide open and others, indicating that they constitute one primary emotion, not two. Similarly, for anger and disgust, the researchers found that the nose initially wrinkles, implying anger and disgust are the same core emotion as well.

Meanwhile, Lance Drozda, founder of I-Am-Heart, an emotional support organization for young boys, spells out five basic emotions: joy, fear, anger, disgust and sadness in an article on his website www.iamheart.ca.

However, none of these researchers include love as a core emotion. In the chart at the top of the post, you can see subsets of emotions, and love doesn’t fall into any of them. So what happened to love?

So I went to the www.theanatomyoflove.com to find out why love isn’t an emotion recognized by the scientific mainstream. Here’s what I found.

“Love certainly feels like an emotion; an incredibly strong one. But in the scientific community, the conservative definition of an emotion is a facial expression.  Happiness, sadness, disgust, anger, surprise:  these and the other basic emotions can be seen easily on the face.  But drives (like hunger) are not linked with a specific facial expression.”

Grimace…Where’s the passion in these studies?

Let’s go back to an ancient times. The concept of “basic” or “primary” emotions dates back at least to the Book of Rites, a first-century Chinese encyclopedia that identifies seven ‘feelings of men’: joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, disliking, and liking.

Interesting that the Chinese from 2,000 years ago included most of the same emotions with one notable exception…the addition of love.

LUNAR ECLIPSE CAPRICORN

If you live in PDT, this lunar eclipse happens at 9:44 p.m. tonight. If you’re in EDT, it happens at 12:44 a.m. tomorrow morning.

This eclipse is the third in a series that started on June 5 (lunar, Sagittarius), with a solar eclipse (Cancer) on June 21, and now this one, a lunar eclipse in Capricorn. It’s the last until December. Lunar eclipses concern internal events – how we feel, what we intuit, and are usually deeply personal. To find out how this one impacts you, look here, under the July forecast in the masthead and your sign.

P.S. Usually on July 4, we wish each other Happy 4th, but this year, it’s hard to celebrate. The country is embroiled in such chaos – pandemic, economic meltdown,  the deaths of more than 130,000 Americans, and the daily risk of an incompetent and criminal administration and president – that there’s not much to celebrate. But  stay safe, wear masks,  and stay well!
