When I posted an entry by my friend Karl Boyken on the benefits of decoupling from the “news” I got an email from another Monroe Institute friend, Paul Blakey, whom I met at TMI back in 1995. Paul said, “I can certainly resonate with the blog topic. As a regular pond hopper (between Canada and the UK) it has always astonished me how the main stream media dominates the surface stream of collective consciousness. When we moved back to Canada from the UK in 1991 we decided then and there to not have a TV that could pick up broadcast media (we like to watch DVD’s, so we have a TV for that only). This led naturally to another experiment, which was to step outside of the collective time consensus of the Gregorian calendar – wow, if you think not watching TV changes you, you should try living by a different time system.” So, I invited him to write a piece about living by an alternate calendar. Here it is.
If reincarnation is real…
A friend sent a reference to an interview on Whitley Strieber’s Dreamland concerning young James Leininger, the boy who remembered being a fighter pilot in World War II, a story I have been following for several years. I haven’t been able to figure out how to listen to the actual interview, but this essay from Strieber’s site is interesting. From http://www.unknowncountry.com/journal/?id=391
Robert Clarke on dreams and the processes of the spirit
As I look through emails from my friend Robert Clarke, who passed over to the other side last month, I find this, which should be of interest. Perhaps it gives a glimpse of the depth of meaning hidden in symbolism of dreams and mythology.

Colin Wilson on Robert Clarke
Back in 2002, Hampton Roads published Robert Clarke’s first book, The Four Gold Keys, featuring a foreword by writer Colin Wilson, through whom Robert and I had become acquainted. Hampton Roads subsequently published Robert’s second book, and Hologram Books is going to publish his subsequent works in the coming year. The Four Gold Keys being now out of print, and the copyright reverted to Robert (therefore, now, his estate) I am able to reprint Colin’s opinion of the importance of Robert’s work.
Robert’s Warning Dream
I have been going through emails to and from my friend Robert Clarke, who moved over to the other side early Thursday morning English time — late Wednesday in America — and came across this that he sent me just slightly more than one year ago. What he (and his dream) says isn’t fashionable. Don’t we know it! But it’s true, which is more important. Most of the people who are looking for the causes of our present disintegration are looking in the wrong places, perhaps because they cannot bring themselves to reconsider opinions that brought them to the ground that they thought was firm beneath their feet.
Bill’s Right Brain
What happens when a social-activist lawyer — a good guy by all accounts — suddenly has his “scientific” assumptions trumped by reality? This story is from the Sacramento News & Review, published on August 20, 2009.

Bill’s right brain
By Nancy Brands Ward
Surgery for a brain tumor gave this left-brained Sacramento attorney a stunning glimpse of right-brain possibilities. Now he’s a changed man.
Two dreams
I believe in dreams. They have meaning, even though we can’t always figure out just what the meaning is. I think these two recent dreams may be of significance to more people than only myself. The first I call Waters, Rising.
