Several weeks ago, I posted an article about the Million Fax on Washington campaign which calls for the government to disclose what it knows about UFOs and extraterrestrials. I am still working on my own letter. In the meantime, I saw this open letter to the President Elect written by Robert Stanley. It’s a very interesting letter by a man who has been involved in the issue for some time. I’ve included one photo at the end, but there are a number of others that accompany the original article. - Tom Z

Open Letter to President Elect Obama

by Robert Stanley

Mr. Obama,

      Your campaign was based on a simple, but profound promise — change. There is one important aspect of the current bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., that desperately needs to change — UFO secrecy.

As president elect you have most likely been briefed on the more than 240 alien incursions of the restricted/prohibited airspace over Washington, D.C., that have transpired since 1948. Pentagon intelligence officers may have also briefed you on the failed military intercepts that occurred in this same period. Some of these hostile intercepts proved fatal to our veteran, combat pilots — a tragic waste of life. However, the attempted military intercepts in 1948, 1952, 2002, etc. are what directly led to the current political stance on this subject — total silence. Read the rest of this entry »

8 Tremendously Important Ways That Gratitude Can Change Your Life
by Leo Babauta

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice. - Meister Eckhart

It’s amazing how one simple, easy, positive action can change so much in a person’s life.

One of the things that has had the biggest effect on my life is the realization of the power of gratitude. Simply giving thanks.

It has affected everything. It has made me a more positive person. A more productive person. A better achiever. A better husband and father and son and brother (at least, I like to think so). A happier person. I’m not perfect, but gratitude has made me better.

Can it change your life as well? I can guarantee it. You might not get the exact same benefits as I have, but there’s no doubt in my mind that the simple act of gratitude on a regular basis will change anyone’s life, positively and immediately. How many other changes can claim to be that quick, that easy, and that profound?

Let’s take a look at some of the ways you can incorporate gratitude into your life, and how it will change your life. These are just some examples, based on my experience and the experiences of others I’ve talked with, and not all will apply to your life. But pick and choose the ones you think will work for you.

1. Have a morning gratitude session. Take one minute in the morning (make it a daily ritual) to think of the people who have done something nice for you, to think of all the things in your life you’re grateful for. You won’t get to everything in one minute, but it’s enough. And it will instantly make your day better, and help you start your day off right. Can you think of a better use of one minute?

 Pigs with Mouse Genes: How GM Animals May Be Entering the Food Chain without Labeling

By Ari LeVaux, AlterNet

On September 18, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released guidance on a regulatory framework for approving the entrance of genetically modified (GM) animals into the nation’s food supply. The term “guidance” is agency-speak for the law will look something like this. Put another way, the FDA has offered advice, considerably weaker than legally enforceable regulation. With the announcement, a 60-day period for public comment was opened.  

The only GM animal currently licensed for sale in the U.S. is the glow-in-the-dark zebra fish, a pet. With the exception of a few drunk frat boys, this fish is not expected to be consumed by humans, and its need for warm water precludes any possibility of it escaping into the wild. But the glowing zebra fish will soon have some GM company in stores near you.   Read the rest of this entry »

Soul-Centered Healing #18: Healing the Inner Selves

by Thomas Zinser Ed.D.

In the last essay, I talked about the mind’s creation of ego-states during times of trauma, terror, or intolerable pain. I described the ego-states as inner beings who, once created, continue to exist at an unconscious level even after the trauma has passed. If you haven’t read that essay already, it would probably be good to read that one first. You can find it here.

In Soul-Centered Healing, ego-states are often a central focus in the healing process. They are frequently involved in, or at the root of, a person’s fears, misperceptions, and reactions. For example, if a five year-old child is physically hit by a parent and feels the parent’s emotional hatred, in that moment an ego-state may be created to protect the self against the pain of such deep betrayal and hurt. The ego-state’s protection may be to close off all emotional connection to the parent at this level and to go numb.

In the future, then, this five year-old ego-state may be triggered when the person, now an adult, becomes emotionally involved with someone where the feelings of love also trigger the ego-state’s feelings of pain and rejection. The ego-state responds in the only way it knows - closing off the emotions and going numb. The conscious person may be aware of reacting, but not understand what has been triggered or why.

In Soul-Centered Healing, the aim is to determine whether ego-states are involved in a client’s problems or presenting complaints. If there are, then they can be identified and communicated with directly. The goal of the healing process is to help ego-states share their experience to the conscious mind and release the pain and distress they have carried for so long.

Once released, however, the ego-state still does not dissolve, like air let out of a balloon, but moves to a place of Light and comfort within the self. For the ego-state, it’s a place of integration. We would say it has moved to a new consciousness.

Because every ego-state is unique to the person, we never know ahead of time what ego-states will come forward in a person’s healing process. Each ego-state has its own story. This also includes ego-states that have come forward from past lives. In Soul-Centered Healing, it is not unusual to find an interweaving between past- and present-life ego-states.

While we cannot predict what ego-states will come forward for a person, we can predict how they will respond to certain questions and how to guide them through the process of sharing and release. Essentially, they are beings in pain, and so need to be treated as beings in pain. If we push too quickly or touch too directly on their pain, we are likely to meet resistance. They may refuse to communicate. They may become frightened at this kind of direct contact or confused about it.

To avoid these pitfalls, the first step in Soul-Centered Healing when making contact with any ego-state is to ask if it is receiving Light for itself. If it isn’t, or if it’s not sure, then we ask if it is willing to receive the Light now. Most ego-states agree, and for those who are still reluctant, there are techniques to help make it safe enough for them to at least try it.

This step is so important because it elicits the ego-state’s cooperation right from the start. We can predict, with almost one hundred percent certainty, that an ego-state’s response to the Light will be positive. It will say that it feels better, that it does wants to have healing for itself, and that it is willing to share what it needs to in order to have that release. It is basically the same yes response people have to the Light in the near-death-experience and that earthbound spirits have when they are made aware of the Light. They describe it as infinite love, acceptance and understanding. Ego-states, at their own level of consciousness, seem to have this same kind of awakening.

A client’s higher self is the part that can bring Light - or more Light - to an ego-state. As a soul function, the higher self is a conduit of the soul’s Light and can help an ego-state reconnect to this Source. Because of the dissociative nature of their creation, it isn’t unusual to find that ego-states have become cut off from their inner Light.

Once an ego-state is receiving Light and understands about the healing process, then the sharing can begin. This also is unique – not only what is shared, but how. The sharing may take the form of physical sensations, feelings, visual memories, or an entire reliving of the experience. This isn’t predictable and it seems to occur in the way that it needs to.

An ego-state may also need to do its sharing in stages. What they carry may be too intense to share all at once, either for the ego-state or the conscious self. The higher self can help the ego-state to break its sharing into tolerable pieces.

Once the sharing is complete, an ego-state can release its pain and distress. From a psychological point of view, once the experience has been shared to consciousness, there is no longer a dissociation or a need to protect the conscious self. In effect, the ego-state’s services are no longer needed. From its point of view, it has been relieved of duty. The release is a transformation of consciousness for the ego-state. With the release of its pain or fear, it can receive the greater Light and move to integration where it will now be in alignment with the conscious self in present reality.

For the conscious person, the healing of ego-states means a resolution of unconscious defenses and painful feelings. When an ego-state releases and integrates, then the past becomes the past. It no longer lives in its original consciousness. Even if there is some triggering, it does not carry the emotional or psychological power that it had before. A person is not knocked off-center so quickly. He or she is able to stay more clear in a situation that before would have triggered a reaction.

Working with ego-states is a reclaiming of the self and the truth of one’s own experience. Ego-states are the missing pieces one has known about at some level all along, but could never find. When an ego-state shares what it needs to, its experience “clicks” into place at some level for the conscious person as well. It’s like remembering a name you’ve been trying to recall all day. When it finally comes, it’s a resolution and relief, only for ego-states and the conscious self, the relief is usually deeper and more profound.

I thought we had heard the last of Stephenville, TX and the UFOs, but they’re back. A report by Bill Knell follows the video. - Tom Z

 
The Stephenville UFOs Are Back - October 2008

by Bill Knell 

The Stephenville UFOs are back and so are the military jets that chase them. A number of unidentified lights were again seen in the skies over Earth County, Texas, beginning on October 21, 2008. The lights displayed various colors and moved rapidly in all directions over Stephenville for two nights in a row, but that was just the prelude to a much more exciting incident which occurred the next night in nearby Dublin, Texas.

On October 23, 2008, several teenagers and a few adults were at Dublin High School in the late evening when they saw an oval-shaped object with brilliant lights on it. Andy Monrreal used his mom’s digital video camera to film the object for about a minute. Monrreal gave a description of the object to a news crew from News 8 (WFAA) in Dallas/Fort Worth. He said, “”You could see a shape. It was like a complete circle.”

Monrreal’s parents also saw the object and his father commented, “”I never seen nothing like that in my life… big lights and everything.” His mother said, “”It was a round thing. You could see lights around it, flickering and changing. It was awesome. Just turning and flickering.” A total of eleven witnesses reported seeing the same object and many confirm that military jets were in the area at the same time.

In what seems like a rerun of the original events that brought so much attention to Erath County back in January, the Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth confirms that at least seven F-16s were training in the area at the time the object was observed. However, these training exercises were not announced in advance and the area where the UFO and the jets were seen is not airspace generally reserved for training. Read the rest of this entry »

This is an excellent essay by Glenn Gould on the issue of disclosure. I posted another article by him last month (Moving to Disclosure: Another View). In this essay he raises the question of whether those calling for disclosure (including yours truly) are ready for what he calls the “post-disclosure worldview”. Gould says about it:

The revolution that will follow full disclosure will dwarf all previous epochs. It will be the end of the world as we know it.

He goes on later to say:

The typical ‘Disclosure Activist’ seems to have overlooked what the inevitable change will mean to them on a personal level. Disclosure will be anything but business as usual for planet earth.

Gould goes on to discuss different aspects of disclosure - what prevents it, and what impact it may have on our civilization once the truth is revealed. He does not seem very optimistic that this revolution will happen without a great deal of death and suffering. He doesn’t claim to know how it’s all going to go down, but he’s talking about major areas like the economy, over-population, and energy.

Mr. Gould does mention the spirit dimension, but from my point of view, he passes over it rather quickly. I’m not sure he considers that an acknowledgment of the psychic and spirit realities may be an integral part of the shift that is occurring. This is not spirituality in terms of  any religious dogma, but in terms of other levels of consciousness and being.

At some level, many people resist the disclosure that extraterrestrials exist. Well, many people – maybe the majority – also resist the idea of psychic and spirit realities. I’ve written about this throughout the site, and I’m sure I’ll write about it again, but for now I just want to say that the recognition of spirit realities – and ourselves as spiritual beings – could significantly change the dynamic of the “post-disclosure worldview”. At this moment, I still believe that the awakening to ETs and to spirit realities go, or need to go, hand in hand.

Meanwhile, Mr. Gould raises a critical question for those seeking disclosure: Are we ready?

UFO Disclosure: Critical consideration and Worldviews

by Glenn Gould

One problematic issue regarding the abandonment of secrecy surrounding Extraterrestrial influence on our planet is the post-disclosure worldview. While that subject is on the minds of those who keep secrets secret, it seems to have evaded, for the most part, the thoughts of the more militant members of the groups that demand full disclosure at any price. The post-disclosure world, as seen through the eyes of our governments, is one of unimaginable horror wherein their historic hold on human civilization has ended. Those who insist on full disclosure seem to disregard the ramifications of a world after disclosure, and what that world will mean to them personally. This condition prohibits meaningful dialog between the two viewpoints, thus preventing any consensus on the subject.

Though the younger generation may disagree, full disclosure of persistent Extraterrestrial interaction with Earth is not going to be at all comparable to Steve Jobs or Bill Gates introducing some great new invention or innovation. Some will applaud and cheer, no doubt, but many more will not. Regardless of the method, be it CNN with bold new graphics, or some commandeering of communications by the visitors or their partners; these prospective revelations would be traumatic for all humans. Panic and joy, blank stares and happy faces, and sanctuaries filled with penitent believers will sweep the planet. Full disclosure will be difficult on humanity, due not only to its iconoclast nature, but due mainly to the inevitable collateral cultural damage. Read the rest of this entry »
