I have been on a reading jag lately, and I find myself reverting time and again to Colin Wilson’s work, currently his novels. Re-read Ritual in the Dark yesterday; re-reading The Glass Cage today. Probably I’ll go on to re-read Necessary Doubt, the novel of his I go back to most often. Once in a…

All my friends are tired of hearing from me that Carl Jung said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” However, it is true, and the more you consider it in your own life, the truer it appears. A few other thoughts from one of…

[Good and evil still exist, but they are no longer so self-evident.] We have to realize that each represents a judgment.

He set out to teach, in two days, how to explore the afterlife, contact people who are deceased, and bring back verifiable details to demonstrate that the contact…

Exercise 9 First Retrieval Exercise. [recreated from notes made with eyes closed during the exercise] I somehow knew the guide I had attracted was male, though I didn’t have clear image of him. I thought his name was Charlie, or maybe Ernie. I saw an image of a black bench, placed near an inner door…

After lunch, second day. Exercise 10 Belief System Retrieval exercise. [recreated from notes made with eyes closed during the exercise] This became very strange. Bruce was narrating a visualization that had us at a beach. Mine morphed into a road, instead. I walked up to a Midwest road and somehow wound up in a car,…

Exercise 11 Retrieval and visit. The point of the final exercise was for us to bring back information that could be validated right there. Bruce accomplished this by having us each write on a slip of paper the name of someone we knew who was deceased. We then each drew a slip and went to…
