Mind Reading and Telepathy

Have you ever thought of a word or phrase and someone says out loud exactly what you were thinking? If so, you know that this is a very odd feeling. How does this happen? I'm not talking about when you're having a conversation with someone and they finish your sentence or talk about an idea that you were about to bring up. That is common and natural because you are both on the same pattern of thinking at the time. I'm talking about those strange moments when you aren't even talking to this person or, if you are, they shouldn't be able to pick up on such an odd thought. Perhaps it's even a stranger.

I have two instances that I will talk of briefly.

The first...
When I was about 18 years old I was helping a friend move. His roommate and I load up her truck and we ride together on the way to their new home. We don't know each other well at all. We probably had only talked briefly twice before and of course it made the ride a little awkward with the small talk. Somehow, we got on college fraternities and something about the way it attracts certain types of people. She said something about how her brother was opposite from her in that way and he was in a fraternity etc. A little time passes and for some reason I thought about how date rape was a common subject when fraternities come up in conversations and I think IN MY HEAD the weirdest sentence - "Is this date rape that I smell on this here shoe?" Why that sentence would pop into my head I have no idea but just a few seconds later she says it out loud - "Is this date rape I smell on this here shoe?" Blew my mind. Anyway, I later found out that she was pretty deep into witchcraft at the time and this made me think that she may have been dabbling into some things that gave her these little moments. Last I heard though, she's now a Christian missionary in New Zealand.

The second...
This happened about a year ago in the french quarter of New Orleans. I was walking with my family and I saw a group of drunk college guys headed our way. It was late at night and at this particular time (closer to the Superdome) there weren't many people around. Of course, I got a little protective since my family is all female, except for myself. and once having been a male 19 year old I knew the kind of stuff that comes out of their mouths. I wasn't particularly concerned as far as bodily harm, but had to be alert. For some reason an unrelated bible verse popped into my head just as they were passing - "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." As they ran past yelling and laughing one of them made eye contact with me and said, "Don't worry striped shirt man." I was wearing a striped shirt. And then after they passed one mockingly yelled "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord," right before he laughed and another one of his buddies asked him what the hell he was talking about.

I'm sure this has happened more than twice, because I very rarely think about these two circumstances. My thing is, if this kind of stuff happens around the world everyday, how can we just except the fact that there is nothing more to life that flesh and bone? We have evolved into these complex thinkers for no other reason than to die in 70 or 80 years (if we're lucky) while we disregard the strangeness all around us? We are always looking for ways to explain things away and secularize that which is beyond our understanding, but how do you explain people reading each other's minds? Maybe there is some kind of electrical output we are putting out there with our thoughts before they actually become words, but isn't this also in the spiritual realm all the same?

L. Ron Hubbard Occult Connection

I heard about a strange link between Hubbard and the occult last night and decided to do some fact checking on my own because the source is sometimes questionable. I was surprised to find that the link is a legit one and that I've been out of the loop on this connection for quite some time. Hubbard's friend and roommate, Jack Parsons, who was a Thelemite Occultist and whose spiritual mentor was Aleister Crowley wrote to Crowley the following concerning his new friend Hubbard - "he has no formal training in Magick, he has an extraordinary amount of experience and understanding in the field. From some of his experiences I deduced that he is in direct touch with some higher intelligence, possibly his Guardian Angel. He describes his Angel as a beautiful winged woman with red hair whom he calls the Empress and who has guided him through his life and saved him many times.
With his (Parsons) friend L. Ron Hubbard he conducted the Babalon Working, a series of rituals designed to invoke the Thelemic goddess Babalon to Earth. They continued the procedure with Marjorie Cameron, whom Parsons married in 1946. After Hubbard stole his life savings, Parsons resigned from the OTO and went through various jobs while acting as a consultant for the Israeli rocket program. LINK
If anyone is interested in this link between Hubbard and the occult I would encourage you to read the entire entry which includes a strange ending to Parsons' life.
The Sunday Times published an article about Hubbard's involvement with the OTO and Parsons' occult activities in December 1969. In response, the Church of Scientology released an unsubstantiated press statement which said that Hubbard had been sent as an undercover agent by the U.S. Navy to intercept and destroy Parsons' "black magic cult", and save Sara from its influence. The Church also claimed that Robert A. Heinlein was the clandestine Navy operative who "sent in" Hubbard to undertake this operation. LINK

Stop Inviting Evil

I've listened, watched, and read plenty on all of the 'strange' or 'paranormal' subjects because they are a kind of escape for me. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about let me list a few that I find interesting...Bigfoot, occult, ghosts, Hitler and the Occult, chupacabras, cryptozoology, mind reading, excorcisms, UFOs, aliens, theological debates, time travel, space travel, transhumanism, cloning, the effects of hallucinogenics on society etc. I'm sure I've left a few off of the list but I love that kind of stuff even though 90% of the time I don't believe the people who are selling the ideas. But if just 2% of what they're saying is true, this is a crazy world.


The thing is, even though I find all of this fascinating I'm not going to invite some crazy evil spirit to come wreak havoc on my mental and physical well-being. Here is my point as simply as I can put it without getting too technical and theological (which I will probably have to do at some point). This is just a blog to get some basic messages out and have some fun with the possibility of a Pterodactyl picking up a large jaguar in Venezuela. But, as far as the ghost, aliens, & UFOs goes - from years of experience I've pretty much made my mind up on how this works.

If you think you are talking with your dead Uncle Frank on your Ouija Board, you're not. It's a demonic spirit that will fool you and you're inviting all kinds of other evil into your world. You'll notice after a few sessions that you'll hear voices at night, or see the vision a person in the corner of the room for a split second. Bad things may start to happen to you physically, mentally, or financially. You will see things move from different spots of your house to another. You might see a UFO or have a gray tell you that you're the only hope to save the planet from the evil oil companies - who knows? You might see a freaking Indian dancing in your living room and he tells you that you've built your house on his families' burial ground. It's very weird how getting involved with one thing can start this whole procession of weird happenings. There may be life on another planet but what are the odds that they need to probe your ass 50 times and scare the crap out of you for some kind of strange intergalactic tests?

It doesn't have to be a Ouija Board - It can be Tarot cards, Seances, meetings with other New Agers staring at you until they can see the color of your aura. Maybe even transcendental meditation. There are a lot of portals that open us up into this other dimension where good and evil is in battle. So, next time you hear your guitar playing in the other room and you are the only one home, say a prayer to Jesus and take off that ridiculous shirt (for starters).


More Subtle Than I Imagined

The Bible is very accurate but sometimes I feel like I've let my imagination get away from me over the years. When it comes to the end times and a few other issues; I'm seeing things unfold in a more subtle, patient way. This way can still be profound, but it's not as theatrical as I thought it would be. Maybe that will come later? The older I get and the more I can compare the infinite time of a God and the universe to my own short time as an organism, the more I can see the subtle nature of prophecy in the Bible. Maybe we have been in the end times for 2000 years and if you combine it all into a 10 year span, then yes, it sounds like hell on earth but history is like a circle. Knowing the nature of man, what he will do in the future is pretty easy to predict because he's already done it once and he usually doesn't learn his lesson.

Honestly - in modern times, could you have a better Darth Vader-ish type Antichrist than Hitler? Well, Hitler is dead and he didn't completely take over the world and never got the chance to destroy Christianity, so the next guy or gal will REALLY have to be slick to pull off the world domination thing again. It may have to be so far into the future that Hitler is a side note of a charismatic cult leader that people think they are too smart to fall for. Yes, in our ignorance, even the bad times in history repeats itself over and over. Which brings up the question - how will we know this is the final straw? I heard a pastor say once that he hasn't returned yet because he is trying to save as many souls as possible? Well, that could go on forever. As I type this, there have already been about 110 million births this year with a net population growth of 64 million.

After some studying and a lot of contemplation, it seems (at least to me) that if Jesus says that he doesn't even know when he's going to return - no matter how blatant we think the signs are, we still can't be sure if they're the right signs at the right times. Considering that God is eternal how can we possibly expect him to work on our time line? Every generation for the last two thousand years thinks they will be the last one. It's kind of like saying if I'm not going to be here, then no one else should be either. We all think we've reached the limit on moral depravity, but history is littered with some very sick people - I'm talking entire populations of sickos and we're still here.

Here's one example where I expected something unbelievable but instead got the more subtle and explainable version years later. I don't know where he got his information from, but I clearly remember my father telling me, when I was a kid, that Israel would be attacked and that "no missiles would be able to land there. It'll be almost like there is a dome around the country and the missiles just bounce off." At the time I thought he'd gotten it from Revelations, but now the only place I can see this even being hinted at in the bible is Ezekiel 39 -
"I will strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand.You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.…"
So, growing up I saw this as one of the signs of the end times and I still do. But what I had in my head of how this missiles would just be falling out of the sky and how everyone would be amazed came about in an entirely different way - The Iron Dome. Yes, it still supports some of the commentary on the end times and it's definitely a game changer, but if you want converts, you'd think it would be more like the battle my imagination had conjured up all those many years ago.

It's kind of funny really. It's like getting this huge crowd of people ready for this unbelievable fireworks show. They have been making websites, debating on message boards, getting together on late night talk radio about this crazy fireworks show that is supposed to happen REAL soon. A date is finally set by someone, so they all show up in this field (which someone else set up) the evening of the first guy's predicted date. Up to this point, people are willing something to happen but they aren't for sure if the pyrotechnics crew is going to show up. When it's completely dark and crowd is hushed with excitement - that's when a lone man slowly walks into the field with one of those small glass coke bottles, digs it into the mud a bit, and shoots off one bottle rocket. He turns to the crowd and says, "Come back in 6 months and you will see something different." Did they get to see fireworks? Yes. Did the fireworks show have Bruce Willis shooting flares just over the crowd while Radiohead chanted melodically in the background? No. Will the next fireworks show have what everyone was expecting? Maybe. That's the mystery of it all, just when you think it's all slow, subtle and scientific, the clouds could part and we could see things that would make our hearts stop.
