I find it a great pity that so much experimentation and discovery by men and women who become famous in other fields is disregarded and ignored as though by a conspiracy to silence testimony of the existence and interaction of the non-physical world. You see it in people’s non-quotation of Lindbergh’s out-of-body experiences over the north Atlantic in 1927 (though he himself described it fully in The Spirit of St. Louis) and, especially, in people writing of W.B. Yeats as if he were a poet and nationalist who had only an incidental and fanciful relationship to the other side.
Jung’s wisdom in his old age
From an interview with the English journalistFrederickSands in 1955.
“At my country retreat I do as I please. I write, I paint — but I spend most of the time just drifting along with my thoughts.
“It seems to me we have reached the limit of our revolution — the point from which we can advance no further. Man started from an unconscious state and has ever striven for greater consciousness. The development of consciousness is the burden, the suffering, and the blessing of mankind. Each new discovery leads to greater consciousness, and the path along which we are going is merely an extension of it. This inevitably calls for greater responsibility and enforces a great change in ourselves. We must draw conclusions from what we know and discover, and not take everything for granted.
Global Perspective interview
Did an interesting interview Friday night with Ken Jackson, host of Global Perspective, a blogtalk show on Freedomizer Radio.
Freedomizer Radio appears to specialize in pursuing conspiracy theories, which is not exactly at the center of what I spend my time talking about. And yet, perhaps it wasn’t such a misfit, either. People who are unwilling to consider conspiracy theories are often unwilling to consider that things may be different than they appear on the surface. And if that isn’t true in psychic exploration, I don’t know what is. We talked a good deal about the process of communicating with the other side. Ken Jackson asked interesting questions, and we had a good time. Find the interview here: http://blogtalk.vo.llnwd.net/o23/show/2/940/show_2940209.mp3. My segment begins 7:35 into the link, and ends about half an hour before the end.
One year on, ‘ghosts’ stalk Japan’s tsunami city
This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. I remember seeing a similar story after the Indonesian tsunami a few years ago that killed so many people so suddenly. Of course many dismiss perception of ghosts as superstition, and fear of ghosts often is superstition. Nonetheless, some perceive more than others, and it would be well not to dismiss these reports too lightly, just because “science” says they can’t be true. In fact, they can be, and sometimes are.

One year on, ‘ghosts’ stalk Japan’s tsunami city
By Miwa Suzuki | AFP – Tue, Feb 28, 2012
A year after whole neighbourhoods full of people were killed by the Japanese tsunami, rumours of ghosts swirl in Ishinomaki as the city struggles to come to terms with the awful tragedy.

Physical and non-physical
By way of Intuitive Linked Communication (ILC), this discussion with Carl Jung earlier this week. Sometimes you play with an idea for some time, thinking you understand it, and suddenly realize (with a little help from your friends) that it’s bigger and more important than you had thought it.
Deepak Chopra: Consciousness is all
This, via the Monroe Institute’s website, is Deepak Chopra explaining in four minutes the scientific reasons to believe that the primary basis of existence is neither matter nor energy (whatever “energy” might be, divorced from its context of matter!) but consciousness. I am no physicist, but this feels right. I suppose that, in context, “feels right” means “restates what I already believe.” Well, so be it. Four minutes, no more:

So You Think Your Life Was Wasted – Section Three (5)
Claude Bowers on Reconstruction, racism, and the problems of our times.
Monday March 6, 2006
Last night, for no reason I could have named, I found on my shelves Claude Bowers’ book about the reconstruction era, The Tragic Era, that I have carried around for years but never yet read.
Friends, my suspicion is that this is what we might call a benevolent set-up. First Joseph on Lincoln and the Civil War, now Bowers on how the victory was hijacked. Yes?
