Birthday #3

Posted on February 4, 2012 by Trish and Rob

Three years ago today, we put up our first post on this blog.  We had no idea where any of this would take us. Up until then, the people we knew who were even remotely interested in what fascinated us could be counted on one hand.  But over time, it became apparent that we had never been alone, that there were people all over the world experiencing the same kinds of phenomena we were and asking the same kinds of questions.

Now, three years later, something miraculous seems to be happening globally. More and more individuals are awakening to this underlying order in the universe, what physicist David Bohm called the implicate or enfolded order, a kind of primal soup out of which everything else, even time, is born. Synchronicity and all it entails seems to be one of the many voices of this enfolded order. It speaks to us constantly through signs and symbols, hunches and impulses and metaphors. Sometimes, it has a sense of humor, sometimes it’s dark and strange, but always, it attempts to seize our attention. Hey, you, listen up, this message is important.

We thank all of you for profoundly deepening and enriching our understanding of synchronicity, of psychic phenomena, of all that is hidden and unseen. Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences, your hearts and your souls.

Here’s the link for our first post on February 4, 2009.Tempus fugit, as my mother used to say. Time’s awasting’. I’m still trying to figure out where the last three years went!

War, Neptune, and Hit Counters

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Trish and Rob

Hit counters like sitemeter and statcounter have various categories that provide specific information about the visitors to your blog or website. One of the most intriguing categories is the search term visitors use.

Whenever a word or phrase appears repeatedly over the course of several days, particularly if it’s something  I haven’t seen before, I take notice. That term could be a kind of oracle that points to an emerging pattern in the collective unconscious. In the past several days, we’ve had multiple hits for the word war.

Granted, with 7 billion people in the world, there are probably millions who daily Google that word. But in the three years since we started this blog, this word has never appeared as a search term in sitemeter. Never. I mentioned it to Rob in a sort of offhanded way, and explained that all these individuals landed on this post,  for its image.

The searches came from all over the world – war.  Why? War certainly isn’t a new concept. The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars aren’t new. But there it was, over and over again in sitemeter. War, war, war.

So this evening, February 2, 2012, I heard Wolf Blitzer on CNN talking about the possibility of Israel attacking Iran.  And if Israel attacks, that means it happens with the sanction of the U.S. and, perhaps, of other countries, too. (Good explanation about what’s going on.)

This news coincides with an astrological event that no one alive on the planet has ever experienced: today, at 2:03 EST,  Neptune enters Pisces, where it will be until 2026. It hasn’t been in that sign since 1844. History is our best measurement here about possible events, so let’s look back to some of the major events that occurred.

Neptune rules spirituality and escapism, our personal unconscious and dreams, our ideals and our blind spots and our illusions. It can be the archetype of the victim, the martyr, and dissolves the boundaries between ego and other. It urges us to reach and help others, to give something back. It is deeply inspirational, creative, innovative, intuitive, psychic.

Neptune  also rules religious fervor and zealotry, a kind of spiritual ping pong where each side is convinced he is right and knows it in his gut. But because Neptune is a subtle trickster,  neither side turns out to be spiritually correct. In fact, words like right and wrong no longer mean anything at all. There are only opinions and beliefs and all of them are flawed in some way. We can visualize the ideal, but it eludes us unless  we surrender to whatever it happening, go with the flow, read the synchros.

2012 isn’t about Armageddon. It’s about how we, as a human collective, as a mass consciousness, react to the events around us.  Do we cower in fear and or do we reach out and help a stranger? Do we allow ourselves to become victims or martyrs or do we become heroes when we step up to the plate and live our ideals? Do we start wars or try to negotiate peaceful, idealistic settlements?

I want to say that Neptune in Pisces is about living from the heart. That’s part of it, but not the whole picture. Yes, this 14-year transit is about compassion and empathy, but it’s also about intuitive understanding and  manifestation. If we can imagine it, if enough of us desire peace, tolerance, good will, and freedom for all and back this desire with powerful emotions, then the quantum wave becomes quantum particles and crashes into physical existence.  And then the world by 2026 is going to be a very different place.

I’m not sure how a post intended to be about hit counters and words as oracular patterns became a statement about war and Neptune and the choices ahead of us, but here you are. It must be an early taste of Neptune’s entrance in Pisces. Who am I? Where do I fit? Why am I here? How can I make a difference? These are Neptunian questions and they beg for answers.

Synchronicity and the Pauli Effect

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Trish and Rob

Last year, I bought Deciphering the Cosmic Number: the Strange Friendship of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung. The book, by Arthur I. Miller, is fascinating and every so often, I pick it up periodically and read for the sheer delight.

Wolfgang Pauli, whom we’ve written about before,  was a theoretical physicist nominated by Einstein for a Nobel. He won the prize in 1945 for the “exclusion principle,” which involves spin theory and the periodic table of chemical elements and atomic structure. Thanks to Einstein, who called Pauli his successor, Pauli was offered permanent positions at Columbia and at the Institute for Advanced Study.  In 1946, he was granted U.S. citizenship and could have stayed in the United States just as Einstein had chosen to do. Instead, Pauli returned to Zurich partly because he missed his good friend Carl Jung. The two eventually began collaborating on a study of synchronicity.

In 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, secret 3 is that synchronicity is the granddaddy of all paranormal phenomena, telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, remote viewing – and telekinesis.  This means that Pauli was a testament to synchronicity. “From early on in his career, colleagues couldn’t help noticing that whenever he entered a laboratory, equipment spontaneously broke down,” wrote Miller. “The Pauli effect, as it became known, was obviously impossible; it had to be just a matter of coincidence. But nevertheless, it happened again and again.”

Over time, most of the scientists with whom Pauli worked knew about the Pauli effect. Physicists at the university in Hamburg where he worked were convinced that Pauli’s presence anywhere near a lab led to a breakdown in equipment. Otto Stern, a fellow physicist, forbade Pauli to enter the lab.

One of the most comical anecdotes about the Pauli effect occurred in the late 1920s, when Pauli met Erwin Panofsky, an art historian and expert on Kepler.  They were introduced by a mutual friend at an outdoor restaurant in Hamburg. Miller notes that for Panofsky the meeting was unforgettable for many reasons and one of them was that it “provided him with a personal experience of the famous Pauli effect.” At the end of the three-hour lunch, the three individuals stood up and Panofsky and the mutual friend discovered they – but not Pauli – had been sitting in whipped cream for the entire lunch!

Over the years, Panofsky witnessed other instances of the Pauli effect.  Once, when Pauli entered a lecture hall, the chairs of the women sitting on either side of him collapsed simultaneously.  In another example, “Pauli was on a train when, unknown to him,  the rear cars decoupled and were left behind while he proceeded to his destination in one of the front cars,” wrote Miller.

After Pauli and Jung began collaborating on their research into synchronicity, even Jung witnessed the Pauli effect. During the opening of the Jung Institute in Zurich,  which Pauli attended, Jung drew attention to  Pauli’s work in bringing together psychology and physics. No equipment broke down, but a vase overturned, spilling water everywhere.

In 1955, at the Zurich Physical Society, Pauli was to give a lecture on Einstein to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary  of the discovery of the special theory of relativity. Three of his friends met up beforehand for a dinner – minus alcohol.  Afterward, they left in their respective vehicles to attend the lecture. David Speiser, a young Swiss physicist, realized his scooter was low on gas and stopped to fill it up. Then it caught fire and although he put out the fire, the scooter was destroyed and he had to walk to the lecture. Arman Thellung, another Swiss physicists, had to walk, too, because he discovered his bike had two flat tires. Ralph Kronig took the tram and although he’d made this journey numerous times, he missed his stop and also had to walk to the lecture.

Marcus Friez, Pauli’s assistant and close friend, contended that Pauli himself believed in his effect.  He wrote, “He has told me that he senses the mischief already before as a disagreeable tension, and when the anticipated misfortune then actually hits – another one! – he feels strangely liberated and lightened. It is quite legitimate to understand the Pauli effect as a synchronistic phenomenon as conceived by Carl Jung.”

We’ve heard some personal stories  about Pauli effects – stoplights that turn green when you approach, transformer boxes that explode during arguments,  clocks that stop at the time a loved one dies, that kind of thing. At the end of one of Rob’s meditation courses, we experienced our own Pauli effect . As we’re chanting I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you – chanting it 108 times – the lights suddenly went out. And the lights were NOT on a timer.

Anyone have similar stories?

Underwater Magic

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Trish and Rob

Years ago, I recall a trip to Disney’s Epcot theme park and the one memory that stands out is walking through the park’s enormous and incredible aquarium. The visitors move through the center of the aquarium viewing the creatures through glass wall on their side and above. Fish of all sizes and varieties hovered in their silent world, eyes bulging.

I remember a pair of enormous tiger sharks that cruised by near the glass and seemed to stare at us as if we were all potential meals. It was almost like being in the watery environment with them. Almost, but not really.

Then I saw something that really caught my attention. A person in the tank! A scuba diver. He also swam over to the glass and waved at the visitors in the central tunnel. I wasn’t certain what he was doing in the tank. Maybe he was there to feed the fish or clean the tank. I marveled that while he was waving to children, he was unaware that one of the sharks was cruising by behind him. Maybe they were used to divers. Hopefully, they were well fed.

Megan was with us. She was young. Maybe four or five, and she has no recollection of that trip, much less the aquarium. But she was one of the kids who stood at the glass and waved back at the diver.

So it seems quite incredible now that Megan at 22 years old is working in that same tank, one of Epcot’s scuba divers. Some of them feed the fish, others clean the tank, and yes, Megan says, they wave to the children the other side  of the glass.

Originally, she thought she would be working in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but when she arrived to start her job she found out she was assigned to the Epcot aquarium, mainly working with the dolphins.

Yesterday in the mail a brochure from Disney arrived, offering a 35% discount to Florida residents who buy a three-day package. It sounded like a good idea, a chance to see Megan at work. A nice little synchro it seemed. Then it enlarged. Megan called a short time later, and during the conversation mentioned that not only does she have free passes for all four of Disney’s parks…but so do we as  family members! We also get a speed pass, allowing us to skirt the long lines and get into the rides quickly. Wow!

Trish could hardly believe it when I told her. We’re going. We’ll be there. Definitely. Can’t wait.

Baltic Sea UFO?

3:16

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Trish and Rob

We recently wrote about Touch and the repetitions of 318. Gabe, our friend at teapots happen,  noted that 316 played a big role in the Denver Broncos win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Jan. 9 in an NFL playoff game.

If you take any interest at all in college or professional football, you’ve no doubt heard of Tim Tebow, the religious football star who rose to fame  as quarterback with the Florida Gators. Tebow’s career was closely followed not only because of his record-breaking play on the field, but his in-your-face religious behavior. Instead of a stripe below his eyes to deter the glare of sunlight, Tebow painted the biblical reference 3:16 with his eye black. He was also a missionary in the off-season and a top student in the classroom.

However, Tebow’s career as a pro has been controversial. While he has pulled out six wins in a row after taking over the quarterback post for the Broncos, his playing style — lots of quarterback runs and few passes — has elicited a chorus of boos from critics. As a result of several last minute wins, the Broncos made it to the playoffs. However, they weren’t expected to win any post-season games, and the Steelers were heavy favorites.

What occurred that day was surprising, and many fans literally found religion. Here’s how one sportswriter covered the results of the game:

In all seriousness, you don’t have to be into football or God to find the events of Sunday’s Broncos/Steelers game a bit … um, how shall I put this?

Freaking bizarre? I mean, as much as I want to say, “Whatever, just a wacky coincidence,” I’m kind of afraid the heavens will smite me down with a bolt of lightning. Can you blame me?? Consider the details …

As you know, Tebow’s all about John 3:16 . Not only did he manage to win the game for the Broncos (a miracle indeed), he passed for 316 yards against the Steelers, setting an NFL playoff record with 31.6 yards per completion.

Yeah, that’s right: 3:16/316/31.6

Random coincidence or sign from the Almighty Creator? And if it was a message from on high, what is The Man Upstairs trying to tell us?

Well, here’s the actual verse:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

+++

The writer went on to ask if this means that Tebow might be the second coming, that football is the forum for the return of Jesus. He quickly added that he was just joking. But there was speculation from some Christian pulpits that Tebow was a savior of Christianity, if not mankind, and God was praising Tebow’s efforts.

But by the following Saturday night, the ol’ Trickster stepped in to play a role in the saga. In spite of the series of 316 synchronicities that seemed to raise football fans’ awareness of a greater reality, the devilish Tom Brady and his New England Patriots walloped the Broncos 45-10. A humbled Tebow hung his head as he walked off the field at the end of the game, disappointing fans who for awhile thought that God might play favorites on the football field.

Add up that score and it equals 1. The Patriots won, they are the one. This coming Sunday, Tim Tebow will be watching the Patriots vs. Giants in the Super Bowl just like an ordinary fan.

Solving the Communion Enigma

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Trish and Rob

In 1987, I was in a Little Professor bookstore, I think it was, in a mall in Fort Lauderdale, and saw a display of books with a compelling cover: that of an alien, a grey. The title? Communion, by Whitley Strieber. I picked it up, read the back cover, the inside flap, and bought the book immediately.

I had read Strieber’s fiction and thought that his novel, The Hunger, was one of the best vampires stories I’d ever read. My editor at the time, Chris Cox at Ballantine, was close friends with Susan Sarandon, who played a major role in the film version  of the book, and gave us the insider scoop of the filming of Strieber’s novel. A good synchro!

When that cover of Communion stopped me in my tracks, I suddenly felt there was a connection between the vampires he’d written about in The Hunger and whatever lay at the core of Communion. This was purely an intuitive conclusion, I had no facts to back it up because I hadn’t yet read Communion.

I raced home with my book and started reading. Two sittings and I was done. My worldview was permanently altered. It’s no small thing when a book – or a movie, a person, an event, even a thought or a dream – suddenly and profoundly alters what you feel and believe to be true about yourself and the reality  you inhabit.

Please understand, neither Rob nor I have ever been abducted by an alien or a human. To our knowledge, weird experiments have never been performed on either of us. But in the mid to late 1980s, we were writing for the UFO section of OMNI Magazine and as a result, spent a UFO conference weekend with Betty Hill, accompanied Budd Hopkins to a regression session with an abductee, and met a number of individuals who believed they had been abducted and experimented upon by what Strieber refers to as visitors. We believed then as we do now that the entire phenomenon – aliens, abductions, contact – actually addresses  the nature of reality.

Now, 25 years after the publication of Communion, Strieber has published Solving the Communion Enigma.  It’s stunning.  In reading this, I have the same sense that I did when we spent a weekend with Betty Hill; Strieber’s experiences  enabled him to penetrate a level of reality that few of us ever see.

The individuals who go there, who move behind what I think of as a veil, sometimes lose the capacity to distinguish between real life and illusion. That’s what happened to Betty Hill. Every light in the sky was a UFO; during the weekend we spent with her, she even took us outside and showed us the lights. See that? See this? It’s them. The nurse who accompanied her to that UFO conference remarked that her life was based on paranoia.

But with Strieber, there’s an undeniable grounding, a center, a focus that Betty lacked. Maybe Betty had that focus when Barney was still alive, but when we met her, Barney had been dead for a number of years. Strieber’s wife, Anne,  isn’t just his partner; she’s  his  measurement of what is true and genuine, his rock, his reality check, his compass.

When I had read Communion, I remember wondering how Strieber’s wife and son were affected; this book answers some of those questions.  But it also answers a whole lot of other questions. Why did Strieber experience what he did with the visitors? How could it be that these experiences dated all the way back to the early childhood? Was he chosen? Or was he invited and chose to accept? What opened him up  intuitively so that he would  be able to see what others don’t about the visitors?

Destiny versus free will. The questions you ask versus the ones you yearn to ask but never articulate.

Strieber is a Gemini; I used his chart as an example in a book I wrote some years ago on astrology and creativity. Gemini’s MO is to question everything- and communicate what you discover. He has done that. Every step of the way through his strange journey, he has questioned: What do I feel? What does this mean? How does this fit into my concept of reality? What’s really going on here? How can I write about this?

In the new book, Strieber speculates that the visitors may be connected in some way to the dead, to the afterlife. In one visitor encounter he saw an old friend who had already passed on. Other abductees we’ve talked to have also experienced this phenomenon. It may be more common than we know. And that’s the thing with Strieber’s work. He’s defining new archetypes and has been doing it since his first encounters in 1985. But he isn’t doing it alone, that’s apparent in this book.

Anne catalogs this material and seems to have an eidetic memory for specifics. Ask her about 3:33 AM in abduction lore. Ask her about threes in abduction scenarios. Ask her about the half a million letters Strieber received from abductees and contactees.  Their relationship is a true partnership, the melding of two brains, two souls.

In Solving the Communion Enigma, Strieber takes us into dark, eerie places, just as Betty Hill and Budd Hopkins did. The difference is that Strieber has such a facility with language, with articulating complex emotions and concepts, that you come away from this book realizing that we, as a species, must make a quantum leap in consciousness if we are to survive whatever comes next. Strieber is a true pioneer. He’s exploring for those of us who are terrified of venturing into this unknown.

Touch

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Trish and Rob

We watched Touch, a new show on Fox, featuring Keifer Sutherland – formerly of 24.  The setup is simple: Sutherland is Martin Bohm (any relationship to David?), the single father of an 11-year old son, Jake, played by David Mazouz, who is autistic and mute and can apparently  predict the future.  One of Jake’s constants is Fibonacci numbers.

The Fox publicity department describes the series this way: “A drama that blends science and spirituality to explore the hidden connections which bind together all of humanity. At the center of this distinctive new series is a widower and single father whose quest to reach his emotionally challenged 11-year-old son will shape the destiny of the entire planet.” The description leaves out a vital element: synchronicity. And yet, synchronicity is the driving force of the plot – the mystical essence –  obvious through this pilot/trailer episode.

The father’s last name, Bohm, brings to mind David Bohm, the physicist who believed in a deeper order in the universe, an implicate order, out of which everything else, even time, is born. Andrew Teller (probably a nod to Edward Teller, the theoretical physicist), played by Danny Glover, is an eccentric professor who specializes in children gifted in math and  numbers. He  helps Sutherland begin to piece things together after his son is institutionalized by child welfare services. His home is on Tesla Avenue. Glover says Jake doesn’t have a need to speak because he can see everything – past, present, future – and can see how we are all interconnected.

The interconnections in this  teaser episode involve a restaurant equipment salesman who loses his cell phone,  a young man in Iraq, a woman at a cell phone company, and an ex-fireman who wins the lottery. We subsequently discover he is a traumatized ex-fireman who, on 9-11, found Keifer’s wife in the World Trade Center and tried to rescue her. There’s a bigger picture emerging and Jake sees it all, but can only express it in numbers.

There are echoes of Heroes in this show, which isn’t surprising since Tim Kring, who created that show, wrote the script for this. Kring understands connections and synchronicity  and we enjoyed the first season of Heroes. But it got to a point where so many characters had such extreme psi abilities that it became unrealistic and we stopped watching. There are also elements of Lost in this show, the essential mystery of what’s going on, what’s going to happen, what it all means.

Everyone is interconnected. The businessman desperately wants to recover his cell phone because it contains his only photos of his deceased daughter. The cell phone operator, in attempting to track down a lost cell phone, connects with the kid in Iraq who is about to become a suicide bomber, using the lost cell phone, which has traveled the world. Even the cell phone operator was recorded singing a song on that phone!  The story is complex, multi-layered and moves rapidly.

The connecting numbers involved throughout the scenario are 318, which appear on a lotto ticket, a school bus that crashes and the children are saved by the fireman, who won the lotto! And there’re more number connections.

You’ve got to drop your sense of disbelief, but if you do, it’s quite a ride. A show that addresses synchronicity, psychic ability, and the interconnectedness of humanity in a way that is, ultimately, about a relationship between a father and the  son with whom he so desperately wants to communicate. We’ll be tuning in for the premiere on March 19.

Here’s an oddity. The morning after watching the show and getting involved with 318, I (Rob) read an article that included repeated references to 38. They appeared in an article called Uncoiling the Snake, by Glorida Feman Orenstein, which details her journey into shamanism in Lapland. It was sent to us by Lauren Raines, who posts here frequently.

Orenstein was born 3/8/38. Her childhood address was 138 51 Hoover Avenue. She was married on 8/3/58. She visited a sacred site near the North Pole on 8/3/89. March 8 is also International Women’s Day and Orenstein had become a feminist scholar and activist. The last date she saw her mother alive was 8/30/83.

So, far out as the Touch premise might seem for some viewers and reviewers, the above example – vaguely linked numerically to Touch – shows that, yes, such things do happen in real life as well as fiction.

The Power of Words

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Trish and Rob

I was reading over a  book proposal Trish and I putting together called The Law of Attraction Oracle. I came to a section about the power of words, got distracted, and was thumped with a synchronicity.

The section begins in this manner:

“Language, spoken or written, possesses subtle power, like the moon’s influence on tides. Words invoke action that create change. “The pen is mightier than the sword is a familiar adage that originated in 1839 as a line in a play by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton.”

I read on, then paused after reading the following paragraph.

“The way we speak can reveal our deeper beliefs and those beliefs,when backed with strong emotion, are the magnets that attract what we experience. Many of us have such habitual ways of speaking about certain topics that we speak without giving it much thought. So if you live with other people, ask them to point out whenever you say something that sounds as if it reflects  a deep belief, particularly if what you say is negative.”

I took a break, glanced at Facebook, perused the list of comments, and one immediately caught my attention. It was a link to an article that psychic Marla Frees had put up. The title of the article was: “How to Use the Power of Words as a Blessing.”

I was stunned by the synchro and clicked on the article by Sandra Ingerman, who is a Western shaman and author, one whose writings and recordings have resonated with me. Here in part is what she wrote:

“The teaching that our words can either bless or curse is thousands of years old. This teaching is part of all spiritual traditions. Through our thoughts and words we can bless ourselves and others….

“I encourage you during this month to listen to phrases and words that seem to strike a chord in you. Try and bring more awareness and listen to the words that come out of your mouth. Notice if the words and phrases you use come from a true place of blessing within. Or do you speak phrases and words that come from habit and don’t truly reflect what you would you like to communicate and create for yourself and others.

“I know so many people who are afraid to tell friends or loved ones about a new idea they have or a new project they are thinking about undertaking. For often when we share something that is considered “edgy” by others their immediate response is, “You are crazy” or “That will never work.” When we respond in this way we usually really don’t consider the excitement of the other person in following their passion. And we end up taking power from their dream instead of feeding the energy with adding our support and enthusiasm. Often people feel “shot down” by other’s responses and this can end up cursing those we love and want to support.”

Good stuff. It all fit together as if part of the same work. Here Sandra’s complete article.
