“This is one of my first meetings here, among Brothers. I want to make sure I don’t do anything wrong, especially with our rituals—they are long-established, and I’d hate to get those rituals wrong.  It’s been a half hour now and I’m doing fine, thank goodness. ….What’s this? I’m seeing an image. A Brother Mason. He’s entered our large meeting room and he’s walking the room’s length to the lead officer. I’m the only one that can see him. All these guys in the room here can’t. None of them know I’m a psychic medium, none know of my abilities. This secret I keep from them, for fear of being branded as a kook. He’s an older man, grayish hair, dressed in a basic dark suit. He stops at the bottom of the steps leading to the Lodge’s Master. Stares up at the Master and gives the Masonic greeting salute. He looks puzzled, confused. He asks, ’Why don’t you return my salute?’ He hesitates. After a few seconds, the man turns right and walks across the room back out the door through which he came in. I’m terrified, what the heck was that all about?!”—Karl Petry

The Masonic Lodge on Second Avenue has stood proudly for over sixty years in Lyndhurst, NJ.  You can

Freemason Square and Compass

easily mistake it for a church with its white color and lit stained glass window facing the street.  The Freemasons call the building by its official name, “Adoniram Lodge”.

Many Masons have come and gone through the lodge’s doors and walked its halls.  Over the years members grow absent, through sickness, moving away, or those random surprises life throws in all our paths.  In the case of Adoniram Lodge, one man continues to be a constant presence…and his membership continues after death.

After Brother Karl Petry’s first encounter with this specter, the scene happened again at the very next meeting. The same routine played out. Karl was shaken now. He felt he had no choice but to approach the Master of the lodge and tell him what he had—now twice—witnessed. “Based upon many past experiences with these situations, I was unsure how he would react to my narrative–typically, this is a moment I always dread: people grow suspicious, wary, even distrustful toward me, and I certainly didn’t want that to be the case in this situation,” Karl related to me.

Some would call it the greatest hoax of the twentieth century.

That a group of men so intimately connected with the field of paleo-anthropology might be so easily duped, because of the mixing of human and chimpanzee bone fragments, was perhaps the most shocking aspect to the scientific world. And yet, it would be close to four decades before the complete consensus on what had been dubbed the “Piltdown Man” would determine that there had been, in truth, no new discovery of an unknown primate from our ancient past, and instead merely a hoax for which the key players involved spanned from the amateur rock hound and curiosity seeker, to controversial members of the cloth.

The debacle began innocently enough in December of 1912, when Arthur Smith Woodward, at the time serving as keeper of the British Museum’s geological department, had been presented with several curious skull fragments; each had allegedly had been discovered by workmen at the nearby Piltdown gravel pit. Woodward had received the curious fragments from Charles Dawson, an amateur archaeologist and co-founder of the Hastings and Saint Leonards Museum Association, who had previously been dubbed “The Wizard of Sussex” for his uncanny success with discovering such rare and ancient artifacts.

Rise of an Early Fortean

Charles Dawson

Though a few of his discoveries were indeed considerable, Dawson’s reputation was hardly beyond reproach among many in the scientific community; fitting what one might call an early Fortean of sorts, Dawson had also been one of the first to claim discovery of a toad trapped within a flint nodule (it was petrified, unlike many instances where the discovery of live toads recovered from such stones would ensue in later years). Additionally, Dawson would draw curious attention for his studies of sea serpent reports stemming from the English Channel, as well as claims that he had discovered what he believed to be a nascent relative to the human species.

Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Supermarket:

Initiation in the Modern Age

by Patricia Ariadne PhD

The great metaphors from all spiritual traditions — grace, liberation, being born again, awakening from illusion — testify that it is possible to transcend the conditioning of my past and do a new thing. 


         ~Sam Keen, Hymns to an Unknown God

Change Begins Within

In my psychotherapy practice, I see individuals going through life’s most difficult transitions—divorce, death of a loved one, illness and disability, loss of home or job, a broken heart.  In the last several years, I have often witnessed how these crises trigger profound transformations of a spiritual nature in people willing to navigate the complex process of spiritual awakening. For my book, Drinking the Dragon:  Stories of the Dark Night of Soul, I interviewed people undergoing intensive changes activated by distress and adversity. I believe that what I am seeing is not limited to my own practice but is an indication of a wider cultural trend triggered by environmental, economic, social, and political upheavals.

We can see what is taking place in the wider culture by simply witnessing the deep-seated changes taking place in the persons around us, including relatives, neighbors, and co-workers. Outer trials and tribulations can bring us to our knees, putting us in the frame of mind to question our former life priorities and motivations. When things are at their worst, we begin to ask, “What is life all about? Is there a purpose? Is there meaning in what is happening to me?”  It’s clear that if we continue to enjoy the status quo, and all remains well with our world, we rarely begin asking the questions that lead us to ponder our purpose, the seeming inequities of life, and the apparent randomness of events.

It’s possible to see this emerging shift in consciousness in the popular media, particularly in movies, television, and books. This shift can be seen in recent movies that question consensual reality, such as Cloud Atlas, Inception, Sliding Doors, and The Matrix; or in TV shows such as Fringe and FlashForward. In recent years, a smattering of TV shows, such as Joan of Arcadia and Saving Grace, have directly explored the main character’s relationship to God or Source. In some modern fiction, the main character embarks on a journey or quest to find more meaning in life, such as in The Road, Eat Pray Love, and The Alchemist. Read the rest of this entry »

UFOs, Area 51, and Government Informants: A Report on Government Involvement in

 UFO Crash Retrievals

by Grant Cameron and T. Scott Crain, Jr. 

(Keyhole Publishing, 2013). 6×9″, illustrated, 300 pages.

http://keyholepublishing.com

http://www.presidentialufo.com/

 Grant Cameron and Scott Crain do more than demonstrate the reality of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth.  Through tenacious investigation and impeccable research, they shine a light into the CIA, NSA, Air Force, Navy, and other inside groups that have managed this secret for decades.

And their conclusion is inescapable and shocking: this is a secret that the insiders themselves struggle to understand and contain.

Details of the book include:

￭ The Canadian government discovery that the U.S. government was convinced that flying saucers were real, and that a small group led by leading engineer Dr. Vannevar Bush was looking at what was considered a subject of extreme significance.

￭ The discovery of Dr. Eric Walker, a colleague of Dr. Bush and President of Penn State University for 15 years. To the shock of the small group of researchers who confronted him, Walker confirmed that the UFO control group known as MJ-12 was in fact real, that ESP was a key component to the UFO mystery, that some communication had taken place with the aliens, and a host of other stunning revelations.

￭ Efforts by the U.S. government to expose the truth of an extraterrestrial presence — while at the same time keeping technical aspects to the story secret, all because of national security. This program of disclosure continues to the present day.

The research and depth of analysis make this a uniquely compelling study, unrivalled by any other collection of alleged insider claims.

About the authors: Grant Cameron is the world’s leading researcher on the subject of UFOs and  the U.S. Presidency. He has visited numerous government archives, interviewed countless officials, and written articles for years at his website, www.presidentialufo.com. T. Scott Crain received a B.S. degree from Penn State University in 1976. In 1977, he became a State Section Director for the Mutual UFO Network and has written many articles for publications in the U.S. and worldwide.

The authors conclude that:

“… government agencies, at various times, perceive a need to release some UFO information to the public. Some, definitely not all. How do they do it? Always via avenues that leave no one at risk. That means ensuring there is no direct connection between the agency and whoever is doing the actual releasing. It also means the necessity of mixing in some false information. It means, ultimately, to tell the truth, but tell it slant. Until there is a full disclosure of the UFO/ET reality, deniability will remain paramount to those in possession of this great secret.”

Two things happen every morning in the Goerman household. First and foremost, my feline alarm clock, Archimedes, impatiently taps my nose until I awaken and feed him. Having obediently sated my cat’s hunger, I take coffee in hand and enjoy a scrumptious breakfast of “Phantoms and Monsters,” that fascinating blog by colleague Lon Strickler, and receive my daily dose of paranormal phenomena, cryptids, UFOs, ultraterrestrials, multidimensional beings, conspiracies and alternative news.

On Wednesday, November 7th, 2012, Lon posted a reader submission that he had received in late 2009. At that time, he asked the author, identified to us only as Dee, if she was willing to point out the location, but she deferred, responding only that it was very near Cooperstown, New York. The account is entitled “Beings From The Rock” and Dee describes her encounter that took place in the springtime of 1990.

Dee explains how she and a girlfriend decided to take an afternoon stroll in the wooded countryside. While resting near a large outcropping of rocks, both heard a humming sound coming from one of the nooks. The girlfriend started walking toward the noise and said that the sound was coming from inside one of the large boulders.

The pair stood there for a few minutes when they noticed that this boulder seemed to shimmer like water. The shimmer grew and changed into a greenish hue. Without warning, two small beings emerged from the shimmering portal and approached the women. These humanoids were about three foot in height with long blonde hair and very dark, large round eyes. Their hands had four distinct fingers and were very rough textured. Dee and her friend found themselves paralyzed and unable to talk. Read the rest of this entry »

Korner's Folly photo by Kala Ambrose

Unlike the Winchester Mystery Mansion in San Jose, California, the Korner’s Folly home in Kernersville, North Carolina was deliberately designed with style in mind. At the Winchester House, Sarah Winchester, upon the advice of a psychic, had carpenters build new rooms in her house twenty-four hours a day until her death. This ongoing construction was supposed to confuse and trick the angry spirits who had been killed by Winchester rifles from locating Sarah Winchester in her home and haunting her.

Inside the Winchester home, doors open to several- story drops below and staircases lead to the ceiling, going nowhere. The entire house winds around like a maze and by the time you’ve walked through it, you’ve walked over a mile. The effect is eerie, confusing and at times maddening.  While Korner’s Folly also has a variety of unique rooms and twists and turns, the effect feels very different; it’s charming and each rooms pulls you into an experience for the senses.

Jule created Korner’s Folly for an entirely different reason and ghosts were the furthest things from his mind.  A talented artist, Korner wanted the house to be a showplace for his work, both artistically in size and scale and to give prospective clients an idea of the various types of interior design that he could create in their homes and buildings.    The house has twenty-two rooms and there’s no easy way to describe them. Each room is unique; some fit for royalty, palatial in scale. There are trap doors, over fifteen different styles of fireplaces, cubbyholes to tuck away in, murals, and a library.

Science has explained to us that all matter is energy and with hauntings, we often see land and homes that hold the emotional energy of the occupants who lived in a home for a long period of time. We can “feel” a sad house, or a happy home and sense the energy in a building or on the land.  When something very unsettling and negative occurs, such as a battle, the emotional energy of this event stays on the land for a long time. Likewise, when a family has lived in a home for a long time where children played and great joy and love was radiated for years, it can be felt as well.

When energy, negative or positive is expressed in one area for a long period of time, it leaves an energy imprint and objects in the home like furniture can hold the emotional energy in the home. With over seventy-five percent of the furniture in Korner’s Folly being original to the home, the energy of the Korner family is felt throughout the rooms and around the property.

Tools for Transition

Relax.

Slow down. Cut back on activities. Turn off TV, limit time on the phone or computer. Walk, take a yoga class. Breathe deeply. Contemplate or meditate. Visualize a place of peace and beauty. Garden. Make soup.

Face the problem.

Avoid trying to escape your difficulty through the use  of recreational or prescription drugs, with compulsive eating, drinking, exercising, or sex or by increased social or work activity. It’s important to ask, “What is this situation trying to teach me?”

Mourn the Loss.

Change involves loss. Honor the past, remembering the things that were meaningful or significant. Create a ritual (write a letter, make a blessing) to say goodbye to certain aspects of the past that you now need to leave behind. Allow yourself a certain time to mourn,knowing that this will later give you the freedom to move on. Read the rest of this entry »

Keel and Mothman

I was pushed into the flying-saucer fracas in 1966 by a Playboy editor who wanted a “definitive” article on the subject. The first logical step was to seek

out experts. I quickly discovered there weren’t any. There were people who called themselves experts, all wallowing in egocentric delusions of self-importance, all feuding with their fellow experts. Paranoia was rampant in the field and every teenager and little old lady in tennis shoes involved in UFO hunting was convinced the government, and particularly the Air Force and CIA, was spending millions to mess up their personal mail and telephones. There was a big overlap, too, of wild-eyed right-wingers, and many of the more bizarre beliefs of the John Birch Society and even the KKK were absorbed into the UFO lore.

You may have already read my first article on Mystical Adventures in Egypt and Dendera.  Here’s a continuation of my three visits to the country I love most in the world.

Our metaphysical tour group was scheduled to go to Karnak¹, an immense temple complex covering many acres, built and added to over many centuries.  A buzz went around our group when Mohammed Nazmy, owner of Quest Travel, announced that our group would be having a private showing inside the Ptah Sanctuary, including a very-famous statue of Sekhmet.

The Presidential Horoscopes are analyzed according to the Vedic System of Astrology, and its branch of Vimshothri Dasa system, which is popular and astronomically correct and precise. Accorrding to the Dasa system, the span of life is 120 years and is divided into 9 planets, plus Rahu and Kethu, the shadowy planets. To determine the Ascendant and Dasa, the Birth Place, the Time of Birth, and the position of the Moon is very important. There are 27 Constellation or Stars assigned to the 12 houses.

Each Star covers 13⁰ 20’ of the Zodiac totaling 360⁰ for the 12 Houses. By determining the Birth Star and Moon’s position, the Dasa period can be calculated; and the astrologer starts to analyze the future. For the Readers sake, astrological terms are necessary to give predictions with reason. Coming to the Election results, the way to choose a President astrologically is something like choosing the marriage partner for better or worse; namely, match the Presidential candidate’s horoscope with the natal chart of the U.S. Each candidate has his planetary strong/weak points compatible or not to U.S., and let us analyze the proposal of the U.S. chart.

I was recently asked to submit my “position statement” about UFOs for an upcoming book. Here is what I decided upon and submitted. Comments?

It is my current opinion that extreme close encounters with certain so-called “UFOs” and “UFOnauts” pose a reasonable danger to the witness. This threat might come in the form of “abduction” and altered memory; physical burns, temporary paralysis or worse from exposure to detrimental radiation; distortions in time or reality during the encounter; and psychical or psychological aftermath following the incident. Never approach a “UFO.”

The witness should safely photograph or video document the “UFO” sighting.

“Lauren Thyme is obviously a person who knows her ancient Egypt profoundly.  Her writing gives an almost hallucinatory impression of being there.  ALONG THE NILE is far and away the best novel about Ancient Egypt I have ever read.”  — Colin Wilson, world-famous author of THE OUTSIDER; FROM ATLANTIS TO THE SPHINX; THE OCCULT and many more.

…..I met Colin Wilson, a delightfully down-to-earth man, on my second of three metaphysical excursions to Egypt and we became acquainted.  I’m amazed that he intuited my “hallucinatory impression of being there” when I later asked him to read my novel.   Let me take you on an earlier tour, my first trip to Egypt, when this book was first impregnated into my mind.

Bulletin 071712

Greetings –

Hope this finds you and yours well.

I realize that it is possible to meet a nonhuman being. These encounters are a matter of record. Quite often, it is the physical appearance of these mysterious strangers, beings, and creatures that is our first clue that we are dealing with the extraordinary. But this is not always the case. There are those encounters where nonhumans play human and our understanding of the situation comes “after the fact.” Too little, too late, another opportunity is lost.

It is my fervent desire to engage nonhumans in conversation.

What to say? What to ask? What not to say? What not to ask?

You are invited to follow me on this quest. I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt

For most of my life I thought of the sun as just a big ball of fire in the sky, warming our bodies, growing plants, and sometimes giving me sunburn.

Then one day in January, 2012, when I was discussing the mysterious and abrupt comings-and-goings of my physical, mental and psychological ailments with a new friend, she conveyed information about solar flares with me.  She told me about her naturopath, who tracks solar flares for her patients and their illnesses.

In my work I receive a wide variety of questions from people asking for information on what is happening to them on the metaphysical and paranormal realms. Here’s a question I received regarding energy fields and how they can effect electronics.

Hi Kala, my husband is convinced that I throw off energy fields that affect electronics and I am beginning to believe he’s right. I find if I’m particularly stressed with work, I will have computer issues. Today I was turning on the TV for my son and our DVR in our bedroom went dead. We went into his room and the same thing happened. When I walked out of the room it rebooted. I came back in and sat down and it went dead. I left and it rebooted! Is there some kind of negative energy I’m emitting?

Dear Reader, your question could also be presented as: Could your energy affect the electronics in your home? The shortest answer is Yes, it can. Your husband appears to be very perceptive in noticing the correlations between the events and your energy field.

As a psychic, I see the aura around people, which is a flexible field of energy around the body with many layers. The level closest to your body, is described as the etheric body and in a sense, it’s the battery of the body, receiving and emiting electrical impulses in and out from your body. You bring energy in and you release energy, all through the auric body. There are many layers extending outward from the etheric body including the mental layer and the emotional layer, both of which are also energy fields where we store and emit energy and we bring this energy into and down into the physical body from these layers.

With our hectic lifestyles and fast paced life, we often aren’t able to release pent up energy from inside of us and it builds up until in a sense, it erupts outward to release. For some people, they release this in bursts of anger, others cry when the energy builds up to a certain level, and some people release it with a nervous energy (examples include: hair twirling, fidgety hands, and rocking the legs while sitting).

For some people, who also tend to have psi abilities, they release this pent up energy in a wave. I refer to it as an energy blast, which can affect the environment around them. One way that these people begin to notice this effect, is that they will find when walking or driving by street lights, that the lights will go off or turn on when they pass by. If this has happened to you, you are releasing this pent up energy or someone near you is releasing their energy. Read the rest of this entry »

I believe that all humans are intuitive, psychic, have extra-sensory perceptions.  I believe that our inborn, intuitive abilities are vital to our well-being, health, careers, maybe our lives.  I hope this article will encourage you to hone your abilities, regardless if you are just beginning or have been practicing for many years.

I’ve talked to some successful people.  One thing those people had in common is what they call “gut feelings” or “instincts” when it comes to knowing who to trust or when to sign that important deal.

FATE magazine Covers Easter Island

FATE January, 1951

Easter Island: Land Of The Dead Gods

FATE January 1951, Mysteries of Easter Island

They line the rocky shores facing away from the sea, and haunt the distant slopes—these strange stone ghosts of a vanished civilization.

EASTER ISLAND is a land of the dead. The natives live under the shadow of extinct volcanoes which stand as sentinels at the corners of the island. Vaults of burial terraces surround the land and enormous stone gods brood timelessly from the slopes of the mountains. Mystery rules the surface while underfoot the land quivers continuously as if in fear of some dread unknown.

Easter Island is the top of a basalt pinnacle which rises sheer and steep 10,000 or 12,000 feet from the ocean floor. And the pressure from surf and sea seems to cause this tall shaft to sway like a giant skyscraper.

The first known sighting of the island was in 1687 when an English pirate named Davis sailed past Easter Island in outrunning a hurricane. Davis reported it as a “fair high island” with sandy beaches and high mountains, and for many years it was called “Davis Land,” and was believed to lie in 27′ latitude approximately 500 miles west of South America.

After Davis sighted it the island disappeared for 50 years. Other sailors searched in vain for the mysterious “fair high island,” and it was not seen again until Easter Sunday, 1722. This time a Dutch sea captain named Roggeween landed on the island and renamed it Easter Island in honor of the day.

Perhaps “renamed” is not just correct, for the island did not fit Davis’ description, and it did not lie where he had charted it. As late as 1928 a tourist ship reported she had sailed over the latitude and longitude of Easter Island and found no trace of it. Yet when the next ship came along, a Chilean gunboat, there was the island, safe and snug in its usual place. It has been charted 300 to 500 miles from its present location. Some believe that, like the mysterious sand shoals off West Africa, Easter Island is on the move. Read the rest of this entry »

Beekman Arms Rhinebeck New York

The Beekman Arms Inn located in Rhinebeck, New York, was established in 1766 and is recognized as the oldest operating Inn in the country. A gentile piece of history, the Inn allowed the 4th Regiment of the Continental Army to practice on its front lawn in preparation for the American Revolution. Over the years, the Inn has seen its share of action and honored guests, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, William Jennings Bryan, and Franklin Roosevelt have all slept here and all of the above have enjoyed a drink at the Inn’s Tavern, including most recently Bill Clinton.

Located in the center of the Village of Rhinebeck, the Inn is charming and inviting and as an added treat, has been updated to accommodate modern amenities. The result is pleasing and comfortable and welcoming to any traveler and the Inn continues to provide hospitality with the grace and allure of the old traditions.

On a recent journey to Rhinebeck, I stayed at the Beekman in the Townsend House. The room was spacious, comfortable and to my surprise, included a fireplace, a writing desk, two wing back chairs and a decanter of sherry waiting to warm me from the evening air. The room also had an enormous walk in closet, so large that it included a sink, a mini fridge and enough room to store 10 to 12 suitcases or trunks.

Settling in to sleep that evening, I woke at 3:30 am to the sounds of hearing heavy boots stomping across the floor in the room. Alarmed, I sat up and turned on the light next to the bed, as I assumed that the sound was coming from my husband, who must be up and moving something around in the closet. As I turned the light on and sat up in bed, the noise stopped. Calling out to my husband, I heard a snorting next to me and turned to see that he was deeply asleep next to me in bed. Fully awake at this time, I sat up for a few minutes, thinking that I must have been dreaming and that the sound I had heard had come from a dream.

This further perplexed me, as I am a person who has been able to remember at least three dreams every night of my life since I was a young girl and I teach about dreams and dream interpretations. I wake each morning and review my dreams and categorize them into dreams that are teaching me something, dreams from the other side communicating with me, and dreams from my subconscious that help me to work out what is going on in my life. There are also dreams that mean nothing, that occur when one is not feeling well or ate something too heavy before going to bed.

As I sat in bed thinking about how I woke up, what troubled me was that I remembered the dream that I had been having, and it had nothing to do with a man stomping around and walking. That noise, had actually entered into my consciousness and interrupted my dream and woke me up, with the feeling that someone was in the room. Taking a sip of water, I looked at the clock which now read 3:45am and I resigned myself to going back to bed, as tomorrow was an early day. As I turned off the lights and prepared myself for bed, the stomping of the boots began again! This time, I knew it wasn’t a dream. Read the rest of this entry »

It can happen to you! Anyone anywhere can encounter mysterious strangers, beings, and creatures at any time. Meetings might occur at o-dark-thirty on an isolated country lane or along a bustling boulevard or in the dead of night in the comfort and safety of your own home. It is possible to experience aliens, hairy bipeds, little people, Men in Black, winged humanoids, and things that defy any classification. When it happens to you, please do no harm.

Let us break this endless response of human fear and violence.

As an investigative scholar of weird and terrifying phenomena, I have been fortunate enough to have my writings featured in national magazines and my research serve as source material for many books and popular television shows such as Unsolved Mysteries, The Unexplained, History’s Mysteries, Animal X, MonsterQuest, and Dark Matters: Twisted But True.

My latest endeavor is the creation of the Nonhuman Research Agency.

Confrontation must give way to conversation. It begins with those authors, field investigators, and researchers that pursue transient anomalies. We must develop a profound pacifism and give serious consideration to what dialog we might initiate whenever and wherever man meets mystery. We can influence future eyewitnesses to stay calm and safe and deal with these situations on an entirely different level.

When you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got.

It is time for a change.

Feel free to contact my Nonhuman Research Agency and share your insight and experiences. As a professional, I respect the wishes of colleagues and witnesses and promise to safeguard confidences and privacy.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt

USS North Carolina

Commissioned in 1941, the USS North Carolina was considered to be one of the world’s most formidable ships.  During WWII, the North Carolina participated in every major naval offensive in the Pacific, earning fifteen battle stars, and was known as the protector of aircraft carriers, including saving the USS Enterprise in 1942.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor using 353 Japanese fighters and torpedo planes.  Four battleships were sunk and four others damaged. Two destroyers and three cruisers were sunk and almost three hundred and fifty aircrafts were destroyed or severely damaged.  Over 2,400 men were killed and more than 1,200 injured. The overwhelming devastation was a huge shock to the nation.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, almost all of the Pacific fleet was destroyed. The first wave Japanese attack inflicted most of the damage and the second wave returned to demolish anything left standing. Japan and the U.S. were in peace talks at the time, so the attack came as a surprise, as no declaration of war had been delivered before the attack. With this act, the U.S. then declared war and entered World War II.

The surviving sailors in Hawaii were in a state of despair; they had lost many of their friends along with their ships and they were isolated on an island far away from the mainland. The attack had been swift. Reinforcements and supplies were going to take months to arrive in Hawaii. Feeling alone and grieving, the men waited for seven long months for reinforcements to arrive.

Hello to the publishers and editors of FATE magazine.

I am a sailor stationed onboard the USS Vicksburg deployed to the Persian Gulf. Some of my fellow sailors are followers of your magazine which they purchase on a regular basis. We are currently about half way through a 9 month deployment. For many this is their first deployment, the first time they have been away from their families for an extended period of time. For others, they have been on back to back deployments selflessly responding to the nation’s call and the   extreme demands placed on the military since 9/11.

I have several sailors working for me who just returned from a year tour in Afghanistan and are now deployed again. I would like to do something nice for these young men and women. They deserve it. I am looking for any products, special offers, back/old/surplus issues, etc…you would be willing to send to the sailors onboard our ship. Doing so would be greatly appreciated.

We are a small ship with less than 300 personnel and if you could put a smile on the faces of even a few of our sailors it would be greatly appreciated. For my part, I would ensure your company receives kudos in our Strike Group newspaper which reaches over 7,000 sailors and many potential loyal customers.

Again thank you for your time in reading this, I understand if you are not able to afford to donate anything at this difficult time. However, even old/back/surplus issues would be great!

FATE READERS:  If you have any Fate-related items you’d like us to forward to these sailors, please send them to us at:

Fate magazine is honored to send these sailors a generous supply of Fate magazines and merchandise.

Outdoor Stage at the Lost Colony of Roanoke Theater. photo by Kala Ambrose

It’s summer time in North Carolina and for many people here it’s time to getaway to the beach. When I visit the beaches of NC, my thoughts always return to Virginia Dare and the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Their time spent here on the beach was far less relaxing as they braved hostile natives, endured heat, mosquitoes and disease and struggled to survive from day to day.

Here’s how their adventure began… In 1584, explorers were sent to Roanoke Island (a narrow island situated between the Outer Banks and the mainland of North Carolina) by Sir Walter Raleigh to determine if the area would be well suited to establishing a colony. Upon their return, they delivered a positive report of the location, which included a list of the abundant natural resources surrounding the area and findings that Roanoke was better protected from the elements than the Outer Banks. The island appeared all around to be a good choice for a settlement with live oaks and plenty of other trees to build cabins and a variety of wildlife to hunt for food. Sir Walter Raleigh delivered the information to Queen Elizabeth and she granted Raleigh a charter to all the lands that he could claim in the area.

The next year Sir Raleigh sent out a group of one hundred men, mostly soldiers and craftsmen to establish the colony under the guidance of Ralph Lane, a military captain. The group met with poor results from the beginning and departed the area.

Sir Raleigh responded to the news of Lane’s departure by gathering a party of one hundred and seventeen men, women and children who were willing to sail from England in order to establish a permanent settlement in the New World.   As the group sailed to the New World, their leader John White included in his party his pregnant daughter Eleanor Dare.  Upon their arrival, the situation was hostile on all fronts and the colonists asked John White to return to England to gather support and supplies.

Three years after Eleanor gave birth to her daughter Virginia Dare, her father John White returned to Roanoke Island to find everyone and everything missing. All traces of the settlement had disappeared. There was no sign of struggle nor were there any signs of where the group had gone.  His heart raced with terror, were his daughter and his granddaughter alive? Had someone taken them?  There had been no way to get a direct message to them for the past three years. The colonists had no news source and relied on ships that very infrequently stopped in the area. It’s highly likely that the colonists might not have known about the war that had kept White from traveling back to them. They may have presumed White to be dead or lost at sea.

Imagine how Eleanor must have felt, a new baby and practically defenseless, waiting each day in such dangerous territory, cradling her small daughter Virginia while everyone rationed the dwindling supplies.  John White understood this and more, realizing that his dream of starting the first settlement in the new world and bringing his daughter with him, had led to her destruction.

 “Let me tell you about the night I offered my WOR listeners a taste of reincarnation.”   

by Long John Nebel

From FATE MagazineFebruary 1961 Vol. 14, No. 2, (reprinted Jan/Feb 2011)

“I’M GOING to teach you to contact people you knew in your previous lives. I’m going to show you and your radio audience how to do this, and I’m going to guarantee that some of the audience will get results—tonight! You may not believe in reincarnation, or the idea may be absolutely new to you, but I’m going to show you how to prove it to yourself with a personal experiment.”

That’s what the man said, right on my WOR Party Line show with its thousands of listeners. He said that he could conduct a do-it-yourself experiment in reincarnation, and we told him to go right ahead.

Long John Nebel

I know that many of you readers know my reputation for exposing frauds and fakes and I do not want you to think that the program I am going to tell you about was any effort to make light of the subject of reincarnation. Reincarnation is not a subject that anybody ought to treat lightly. After all, something like half the people in the world have a deep religious belief that they are going to be reborn into this world.

Myself, I’ve had two thoughts about reincarnation. First, I may have lived before, but unfortunately I can’t remember anything about it. Second, maybe I will be reborn but I won’t know for sure and certain until after I die.

Now I’ll go a long ways to find the truth of something, neighbors, so now let me tell you about a guy with an offer to give anyone who wants to try a taste of immortality and reincarnation. And all without asking anyone to go the whole hog and die.

If you are a regular listener to our WOR Party Line, you know what’s coming because you heard about this experiment right from the horse’s mouth during one of the most sensational programs ever broadcast.

The man who dropped the bomb on this fantastic show was a guy named Aaron G. Cohen. Mr. Cohen recently wrote a book called The Path to Reincarnation which was why we called him and asked him to sit around a mike with Long John and the members of the Party Line panel.

Mr. Cohen turned out to be a very solid citizen. He is in the real estate business in Hartford, Conn., and was named by Connecticut’s Governor Ribicoff to serve on the Connecticut Commission on Services to Elderly Persons. He is also very high up in a number of other civic and fraternal movements.

Sitting on the Party Line panel for our interview with Cohen were Warren Pack and Del Ray, both of whom are highly skilled at digging for facts in discussions on psychic and metaphysical problems. And, as our listeners know, I have a lot of experience along this line myself. I know all the gimmicks and I’ve seen most of the phony operations from the inside. But like I say, how are you going to know about reincarnation from the inside unless you’re dead?

This being the case and the problem, one of the first questions we put to Cohen was this: if we’ve lived through previous lives, why don’t we remember them? Read the rest of this entry »

Midsummer (June 23) in New Orleans is celebrated in a festival also known as St. John’s Eve. During Midsummer, it is said that the Goddess manifests as Mother Earth and the God as the Sun King. In Celtic lore, it regarded as the best time to see fairies and in pagan times it was the feast of the Goddess Aine. In later days as Christianity took over the holidays from the pagans, they changed the festivals to feasts for Saints.

Currently in Catholic celebrations, June 23rd is known as St. John’s Eve, with St. John’s Day celebrated on the 24th, as the day of his birth, though it is not confirmed whether this is the actual day of his birth. It is interesting to note that the pagan story commemorated the balance and changing of rule between the Oak King and the Holly King and then in Christianity, it became representations of the birthday of St. John to represent Summer Solstice and the birthday for Christ as Winter Solstice.

This eve culminates the celebration of Summer Solstice. It begins at dusk on the 23rd and continues till sunrise on the 24th. This day is one of several days throughout the year where the veil is thin and communication with the spirit world is strong and easily accessed.

Though the heat of Summer is just beginning, this date actually begins the ‘metaphorical’ decline of the Sun as it embarks on its journey to the Underworld, which will culminate on December 21st, the darkest day of the year.

Loaded with symbolism, St. John’s Eve was and is still celebrated throughout Europe, with bonfires, parties and celebrations. Perhaps there is no place on earth where St. John’s Eve is celebrated like it is in New Orleans. The French people brought Catholicism with them as they moved to Louisiana and in New Orleans it mixed in easily with traditional African magic, rituals and rites. This blending of the two cultures found common ground in lighting candles in prayer to ancestral spirits and asking saints to intervene when help was needed, as well as revering divine feminine figures in both religions.

I’m here to tell you about the Good News!

We all know about the bad news.

So much bad news we can’t take it in anymore.  We turn our heads, distract our minds and hearts, because the bad news is so huge, so alarming, so pervasive, so seemingly-impossible to fix, we tune out.  “I’m just one person.  What can I do?”

The good news I extrapolate from the Mayan Sacred Calendar – no, not the famous one that people say foretells doom and gloom.   I mean the evolutionary Calendar of Consciousness.  It’s a calendar not of time, but events.  This Calendar tells us we’re more than okay; we’re evolving/evolved into a new species, one that is capable of conscious co-creation.  The species that all of evolution has been planning, nurturing, and waiting for!   Us!!

Book cover - Pleiadian: Initiations of Light by Christine Day

Christine Day is a spiritual teacher and light worker who has been working throughout the U.S. and internationally for the last 15 years. By the time she was 31 years old, Christine Day was suffering from advanced systemic lupus and given a short time to live. Soon thereafter, she had a spiritual awakening with the Pleiadians; the energy of this awakening moved her to a place of self healing. She has been symptom-free for the last 25 years. Her powerful and heartbreaking personal story has inspired audiences throughout the world. In my work on the Explore Your Spirit with Kala show, I sat down with Christine to discuss her book – Pleiadian Initiations of Light: A Guide to Energetically Awaken You to the Pleiadian Prophecies for Healing and Resurrection. It is my pleasure to share this interview with FATE readers.

Kala: Hi Christine, as the author of Pleiadian: Initiations of Light, can you describe to our readers – ‘who are the Pleiadians’?

Christine: The Pleiadians are from the star burst cluster called the Pleiadies. Their planet operates from a 5th dimensional consciousness, which means they operate from an unconditional loving space.They are part of the Universal Consciousness/ part of the oneness, the God consciousness. They are working in alignment with the Spiritual realms here on this earth plane to assist us all in our transition.

Kala: When did you have your first experience with the Pleiadians and what is your current relationship with them?

Christine: In 1986 I had a spiritual awakening, they were with me then, however they did not reveal themselves to me at that time, it was later that I become aware that they were present then and supporting me in my unfolding. My first conscious connection with them was in 1996 when they appeared and communicated directly to me. My current relationship is very strong with them, I feel as though I have become the Pleiadian ambassador for the Pleiadians on this planet. My role is to help to form a bridge between them and the human race, so that they can bring these light initiations to as many people as possible. My role is to bring to people’s attention the presence of the Pleiadians so that they can begin to open up to their help and utilize what is being made available to us now. My role is also to assist the Pleiadians to understand more about our humanness so that they can work more effectively with us to utilize these light initiations. I have a very close connection with them, almost like family. They have played a huge role in my self- realization process. I am in daily contact with them. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night I had an epiphany about a new theory on crop circles, one I haven’t yet heard about from anyone else.

HERE’S MY NEW THEORY:

Crop Circles are a conscious, well-thought-out-and-executed PLAN by Beings of Higher and Compassionate consciousness to help us “wake up.”
