A Dream Yoga Story: Success at Last and then Failure

Image
I had been working at waking at trying to wake up in my dreams for almost two months. I had discovered the stories of lucid dreamers who had come up with songs, invented things, and got answers to key philosophical questions by mastering what is often called dream yoga. I had read everything I could find on the subject and realized this, if perfected, could provide the answer to any question that I could come up with. What more could one ask for in life? I was having very little success. In fact I was almost convinced I would never be able to do it. I had learned and practised the induction mantras, tried to remember during the day to do many reality checks. I had made audio tapes that I had timed to play while I was sleeping during REM dream states where I would tell myself, “Grant You are dreaming. Do a reality check.” I had the pills that are used with Alzheimer’s patients that increase the chances of becoming lucid. I had the glasses that flash lights during the REM cycles

The Non-Local Nature of Music

The more analytical you become about music the farther you move from art. You move from right brain to left brain. When I write I seldom think about the key, scales, or the proper chords. I just simply write what’s in my mind.” Doug Marks noted as the man who taught more people to play the guitar than anyone else with his Metal Method Instructional tapes. Music is a big part of most people’s daily lives. This being the case it might be important where music comes from and how musicians get their songs. In studying the music writing process I have come to see that it is much more a paranormal, non-local, and a right brained activity, than anything even close to being rational or carefully planned.. Many of the greatest songs of all times came in dreams. This is unusual as dreams are usually symbolic and nonsensical. The hundreds of major musicians who have had the dreams experience where they are presented a song report that it is clear and lucid like waking consciousness. E

Eisenhower and The Aliens

Image
One of the most commonly asked about Presidents and UFOs concerns the rumored encounter between Eisenhower and aliens at Edward’s Air Force Base (them known as Muroc Field) on the evening on February 20, 1954. This is a rumor that I tried to get to the bottom of, and I did it by reviewing all the related files at the Eisenhower Library in Abilene Kansas. There was a lot of related material but nothing that resolved the question. This is Smoke Tree Ranch where Eisenhower was supposed to be playing bridge when the press suddenly realized he was gone. The story takes many forms, but the basic story supported by the documents shows that while on a vacation trip to Palm Springs California the President went missing. He was staying at the Smoke Tree Ranch and was last seen early Saturday afternoon. The reason the UFO story continued for decades may have to do with the fact that there are a number of verifiable facts associated with the story. The main fact that was both true

Are Aliens Evil?

Image
One of the key questions debated in modern ufology is “Are the aliens evil?” On one side of the debate there are books like David Jacobs The Threat have presented evidence that the forces behind the UFO phenomena may be a concern. “As much as I want to be optimistic,’ wrote Jacobs about his conclusions to the UFO abductee information he had gathered over many years which indicated to him that the aliens were a threat. “I find little to fuel hope for the future… I do not think that we will have to wait very long…Now I fear for the future of my own children.” The book was written in 1999 and now almost 20 years later we are still waiting. Some ufologists not quite as pessimistic as Jacobs hold that there may not be an impending takeover but that there are aliens who are only here for their own self-interest. In 1975 I saw this object known as Charlie Red Star. Was Charlie a good guy or bad guy? Should I try and kill him if he ever wants to meet? Bud Hopkins, another major ab

USAF General Hosts a UFO Meeting

Image
The other night I was listening to a Don Ecker rebroadcast of an interview he did with aerospace expert John Andrews in the 1990s. During interview Andrews referred to a visit he had received from the head of security for USAF black budget programs, and a visit on the same morning that aerospace researcher Lee Graham received from a USAF General. During this interview Andrews brought up something I had never heard before and which I think is significant. When Graham received his visit from the General at his place of work the security manager at the company was told to leave the room during the meeting. It was almost as if what to follow would not be on the record. Here is my original story of that encounter that goes to the core of an attempt by the US government to leak core elements of the UFO story into the public and at the same time maintain the classified elements of the programs surrounding UFOs. Lee Graham has spent three decades trying to get the U.S. Governmen

Clinton, UFOs, and the Single Bullet Theory

Image
As Time Magazine and other in the “established media” reported in April 2014 former President Bill Clinton had been on the Jimmy Kimmel show and talked about his efforts to look into the UFO phenomena when he became president. http://time.com/48132/bill-clinton-wouldnt-be-surprised-if-aliens-existed/ Not surprisingly, Clinton added really nothing to the many statements he has made in the past. What he did say is that he did look in to the subject which raised a cheer from the believers saying “I told you so.” It also, however, provided hardline UFO skeptics to claim Clinton’s latest statements show conclusively that there are no ETs and the government knows nothing. The real truth of the matter may be as simple as the statement made in the undisputed Canadian Top Secret memo where it is stated that when they asked the Americas about flying saucers, through discrete enquiries made through the Canadian Embassy in Washington in November 1950, they were told 1) Flying saucers

The Fantasy Tales of the Left Brain “What it comes down to is that modern society discriminates against the right hemisphere.” ―Roger Wolcott Sperry who won the Nobel Prize for his work on the dual brain. It is a very common position among UFO researchers that research should precede with intelligence, analysis, knowledge, comprehension, three-dimensional thinking, judgment, reasoning, and the five senses of reason. All the attributes listed are attributes of the ego dominated left brain. This research position has rarely if ever been challenged, despite the fact that it has failed to produce any answers. On the face of it the notion seems like a reasonable method to solving the UFO riddle, but left brain research into new ideas has a serious drawback. The drawback has to do with the left brain’s ability and tendency to weave together stories to fill in gaps when there is an unknown or the data does not support the thinkers strongly held paradigm. In other words the left
