Reading Norberto Fuentes’ Hemingway in Cuba, not well organized or thought out but a valuable point of view.

Papa, how does it strike you?

It provides good leverage to turn your attention and your insight in ways I probably couldn’t do directly. And this is worth a line or two of explanation.

Sometimes you may get an impulse — buy this book! Read that weblog! Re-read this or that! Generally you’re pretty good about following such impulses. Think of such suggestions as pointers. Here, if you will look over here you will learn a fact or hear a point of view or see an unsuspected connection or — mostly — make an unsuspected connection because you’re two connected bits are common to your mind but not necessarily anybody else’s. It would be much more difficult to put these extended thoughts into your head. So — leverage. You know more now about my life in Cuba. I can tell you more subtle, more complicated things that otherwise I couldn’t.

Graham Hancock – It is written in stone

My friend Larry Giannou sent me this link to Graham Hancock’s presentation given to the 2012 Tipping Point Prophets Conference with the comment, “Thought you might enjoy this” — He was so right!

I had the pleasure of listening to Hancock, Robert Bauval, Colin Wilson, John Anthony West, Rand Flem-Ath and others in 1995, at a conference called Return to the Source. And I have for years been an interested and indeed impatient observer of the process of trying to get what has been called Forbidden Archaeology into the mainstream.

Watch this one and a half hour presentation and two things will likely happen. 1) You’ll be fascinated, and 2) you’ll start looking for more on the subject, which these days (courtesy of the Internet) is easier than ever to find.

Tapping into the net — revisited

Reader Dave Stephens posted a long reply to my “Tapping Into the Cosmic Internet” entry, and  asked questions that were sufficiently interesting that I asked, and got, his permission to post them here as a separate post, since not everybody reads the comments people send.

I started to reply, then realized that I didn’t know what to say. Of course, the obvious answer was to let the guys speak for themselves, so that’s what I will do, with my initial comments inserted within brackets [like this], and theirs at the end.

Jung: Our needs and desires are always active

A. I. Allenby visited Carl Jung soon after World War II. This excerpt from his description of his visit is from the book C. G. Jung Speaking, page 158.

Another time Jung reverted to the problem of self-doubt, using a further example by way of illustration. “Our needs and desires are always active,” he said. “Trouble occurs only if they are active in the unconscious, if we do not take them consciously in hand so as to give them a definite form and direction. If we refuse to do this we are dragged along by them to become their victim. Then they are like a sledge rushing downhill snow, with no one at the steering-ropes. You must place yourself firmly at the steering-ropes, not hang on at the back or, worse, be unwilling to take the ride at all — that only lands you in panic. Our unconscious energies give momentum to our journey through life and, if we direct our course, our actions will have strength; we may even sense that God is behind us.”

Tapping into the Cosmic Internet

A friend sent me the following URL with the comment, “This is part of an advertisement for Silva Mind Control, but it reminded me so much of you I had to send it to you.” Having watched it, I had to agree. I am not in a position to  endorse Silva Mind Control because I have not experienced it. But this was a very interesting video.

Hemingway: The purpose of our book

Like anybody else, I get discouraged, sometimes. But, like anybody else (including the Beatles) I get by with a little help from my friends.

6 AM. A little bit discouraged, Papa. I have just about roughed-in the first draft, and I am wondering if I am not on the wrong track. What I’m putting out isn’t all that new, most of it.

It isn’t that the information is new, but the interpretation. You know that. One of two things the historian can bring to his subject, new information or new interpretation.

But what I offer that is new is really only that you are the one saying it. In other words,

Hemingway’s first death

Shortly after midnight, July 8, 1918, not-quite-19-year-old Ernest Hemingway was in the trenches among Italian soldiers when the central event of his life took place without warning. The following, slightly edited, is what Hemingway conveyed to me about it via Intuitive Linked Communication.

Papa, let’s talk about your wounding, the out-of-body (or near-death) experience, the aftermath.
