Three-State Remote Viewing Tour Starting Soon

Want to increase your resonant frequency? Starting at the end of April, I will be teaching the beginning Approach remote viewing class in Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. The Idaho class will be held in Coeur d'Alene, April 27th-29th, and Salt Lake City May 4th - 6th. A mini-seminar will held on May 19th in the afternoon in Denver at the Metro State Cryptoscience Society. In the beginning class, you will learn to remotely sense nonlocal or distant people, places, and objects. You will be able to sense information pertaining to shapes, colors, textures, sizes, and more. See www.LearnRV.org for more information.

Opening Minds makes it to the top of Google and Amazon search lists/Latest podcast interview

Thanks to all of you out there, Opening Minds has now reached the number five position on searches for the words "Opening Minds" on Google. And for first time ranks #1 on Amazon for the same search words--it used be much lower in the list of "Opening Minds" books with similar names.
To hear my latest interview (Feb. '07) visit Magick Mind Radio. In this interview with Ed Kraft, we discuss a whole range of topics in remote viewing, crop circles, and related topics. Ed also features full cuts of some of my guitar songs at the beginning of the interview. Thanks Ed!

Opening Minds audio book now in production

For those of you Opening Minds fans, I've started recording an audio version of the book. I'm writing some original music for the score, and will also include earlier music from my CDs. It's quite an experience to reread some of the alien encounters from my fellow remote viewers at Farsight. See my recent comments posted at the Planetary Intelligence blog. The Opening Minds audio book will eventually be available on iTunes with the original pictures from the print version. More to follow.

The Recent UFO Flap-Preview of Coming Attractions

If you listened to the news recently, you might be aware of a sharp rise in recent UFO sightings. Its seems that UFO sightings come in flaps. There was a return of the lights over Phoenix, a phenomena that first began in 1997. A UFO was seen over O"Hare airport in Chicago. It moved straight upward and left a hole in a cloud. And Sun Shili, a retired Chinese foreign ministry official , (see NationalUfoCenter.com) came forward and said that extraterrestrials are already walking among us. He also gave evidence of sightings and ET contact cases in China.
It seems as if the UFO phenomena is always pushing up against our prevailing world-view: that we are the top species on the planet. We make this assumption without even thinking about other possibilities. Perhaps there are other intelligent species who live inside the planet before we were here. Are we related to them in some way? Wherever they come from, it's clear that they operate with technology far more sophisticated than our own. They don't stay around very long to make more formal communications with us, at least not in a way we understand. But they do show up with sometimes intense levels of concentrated activity.
I expect that one day, the levels of UFO activity will be so high, that we will have to take a collective look at the phenomena. Our media and national leaders will be forced to discuss what it all means. We don't know when that day will be, but I don't feel that it is very far off in the future.

Planetary Intelligence--Tips for Making It Work for You.

The number one question people ask about Planetary Intelligence is "How do I get it to work for me"? While everyone has to connect to planetary intelligence in their own way, the easiest way to access our larger awareness is to slow down and let events in your life take more time. That's right: let things take more time. If you do this, you have a greater chance of listening to the quiet voices of planetary intelligence. The voices are not like the loud voices of our rational mind. Instead they are subtle and fleeting, though immensely important for us. Just because the intelligence is quiet, doesn't mean it is conveying less valuable information. So take time to listen to the voices of your body, nature, and other animals, be they pets or those in the wild. Listening to the voices of quiet intelligence increases the likelihood that the magic of self-organization and spontaneous awareness will begin to take place in your life.
This type of thinking has spawned the so-called "Slow Movement:" people around the world committed to slowing down their lives. To read more see In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore .

Self Organization, Chaos, and Subtle-Energy Phenomena

When I was a graduate student in sociology in the late 80's and early 90's chaos theory and self-organization were concepts that were just coming into the mindset of the physical sciences. These ideas suggest that at the basis of reality, the universe has some fundamental intelligence that is self-aware, fluid, and evolutionary. My interpretation of this is that, in essence, the universe thinks. The idea is that small changes can cause big outcomes and even causing an entire system to form a new "domain of attraction:" the systems can spontaneously reorganize to create entirely new patterns and interactions. And they do this without our conscious, deliberate intervention.
My experience with remote viewing, crop circles, ETs, and other phenomena in the last ten years makes me think these are self-organizing systems that exist independently of our conscious, deliberate minds. This is what makes them so challenging to explain. We are used to systems that interact with our conscious, rational thinking minds, and as such are controllable to a degree. They respond to our direct intentions. However, with these subtle-energy based systems, they respond to our indirect, subtle intentions, and that is what makes them so puzzling. Remote viewing, for example, as a subconscious process is not directly accessible by our conscious mind. But when the viewer gets target contact, it shows us that our minds, and the larger universe, are self-actualizing processes that operate without our conscious intent. Likewise for crop circles and UFOs. There is an intelligence there, but it is organized on a very different basis than our rational, deliberate, thinking minds. For related ideas see Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind: How Intelligence Increases When You Think Less by Guy Claxton.

Crop Circles and the Web of Mystery

Crop Circles. Those enigmatic, geometrical pattern in grain crops continue to challenge and perplex us. What are they? Why do they seem to short-circuit cameras, laptops, and other electronics. Are they natural superconductors? Finely-tuned interfaces to the unknown? Interdimensional Spaces? Biological machines? One thing is for sure: these patterns are alive. They have resting periods and then seem to become active for a while wreaking havoc on our equipment (see the 1999 Devil's Den formation pictures at the bottom of the page). Are we dealing with electromagnetics, quantum, or some other function? As of yet, we just don't know. But eventually we will understand the full potential of these devices. And this understanding has more to do with our future than our past.
