"Free Your Mind... 2013!!!"

Last year, on April 9^th and 10^th, I was witness to a phenomenon.  From a bunch of truly “grass roots” organizers, inexperienced, but ever seeking the truth, there came forth an event that forever changed all our lives.  Oh, yeah, I was one of the organizers.  One solid year of planning, meeting and coordinating resulted in the “Free Your Mind 2011” Conference.

            We had 17 speakers, all diverse in subject matter, but unified under one umbrella of truth and sovereignty.  April 9^th and 10^th came and went.  At the end of the event, we sat back in awe.  We had more attendees than we ever dreamed we would have.  We were afraid we would run short of funds, and we wouldn’t be able to pay for the accommodations we arranged for our speakers.  After all of the accounting was done, we wound up 2000 dollars in the black!  The modest hall we rented for the two days made a nice profit as well.  People walked out of the building that day muttering words and phrases such as “awesome,” and “best conference of the year,” and “They better do this again…”  The speakers themselves gave us stunningly positive feedback.  They stated that they would come back any time to speak.  Alliances were formed amongst the speakers.  We organizers and coordinators made lasting friendships with the speakers.  The most exciting result of the conference is that you can Google “Free Your Mind 2011,” and get thousands of links.  You can go to You Tube and enter those search terms and retrieve the entire conference, speaker by speaker, you can summon up interviews done with the speakers right outside the hall, and you can find references to the conference everywhere, and on many other sites dealing with our subject matter.  I often just look at all the positive outcomes, and all of the really positive, indelible marks it has left on the internet, and on people, lo and behold, who have either been a part of, attended, or just watched the presentations on video.

Free Your Mind 2013

            Ladies and gents, indeed – we are doing it again.  We are currently planning Free Your Mind 2013!  We are talking and making tentative plans and arrangements, deciding on speakers, old and new.   Free Your Mind 2013 will be the happening of that year.  I kid you not – it will be paradigm shaking.  I am cordially inviting you to attend.  Please keep your eyes and ears open and listen / watch for news.  We are planning a bit more advertising, we are seeking out a bigger venue, and we are waiting for you, my friend, to come to Philadelphia in the summer of 2013 and have your world changed for the better. 

            As I said – the details are still rough, and in the formative stages.  So, keep yourselves awake and aware, and don’t miss out on this world-changing event.  We would love to see you there.  “Free Your Mind 2013” will be the event of the year.  I would like to personally welcome you on opening day!

All good things must come to an end...

Hey, guys...

I am posting this to this, my other blog as well.  for the full story, check out my Paradigm Shift blog.  they are still alive and well, but Cliff Stone and Bob Dean are getting up there, and we must all take the time to benefit from their wisdom.  Please take the time and watch this video...

Really... we will never again have this level of eloquence and knowledge in our realm of time and space in the near future, or for that matter, ever.

Thanks my friends...  Love to all.

It Has Begun!

Hello, everyone!

This is kind of an unusual post, but I need to briefly discuss a recently emerging phenomenon.  It began in 2011, but this month, the first month of 2012, it seems to have come into prominence in some of the alternative media outlets.  The phenomenon I am addressing here is the “Strange Sounds from the Sky” phenomenon.  In a word, what a scam!  What a deception!  I have listened to quite a few of these “noises” from the sky.  I wonder how the frequency response of the noises on the video exceed the frequency response of the microphone on the recording device.  I wonder why, in January of 2012, this is coming into prominence.  I will tell you why, and it is infuriating me.

There are some people out there that would rather profit on all of the supposed events that are scheduled (or “prophesied”) to happen during this year.  They want to make money, essentially, on the end of the world.  And this, my friends, this is exactly what I meant when I discussed and explained the “self-fulfilling prophecy.”  Yes, the year has hardly begun, and we are already seeing the greedy, superficial, selfish opportunists taking the reins of the 2012 mythology just to make a buck.  And in doing so, they are setting up those who are still sleeping, or barely awake, and those who have awakened and are eager to learn the truth – they are setting these people up for panic, fear, and a veritable “end” to society as we know it.  Do they realize at all the lethality of the fire they are playing with?  Obviously, I don’t think so.

My prediction, or, if you want to call it a prophecy, is coming true.  We are scheduling our own demise through ignorance, greed and opportunity to profit from the plight of the innocent.  It and events disgusts me.  I cannot begin to describe how much I loathe this type of behavior.

So, my friends, this my warning, and my advice:

1)      Take nothing, and I mean nothing that you read for granted.  Investigate and question everything.  Know what the score is.

2)      Research, research, research.  Get your facts together before you endorse anything or anyone.  Some people can become opportunists at the mere scent of money or profit, and I might as well add “power.”

3)      Pay attention to the world around you.  As I said in an earlier post – watch and listen to news, people, and events from both sides of the fence.

4)      Help those who are less aware than you are.  I don’t have to tell you how to spot them.  They are in the obvious majority.  You might save them from being hoodwinked into fear and panic.

5)      Be on guard, and don’t let your guard down.  Evil can be enticing and erotic, irresistible unless you can spot it a mile away.  And, don’t get any closer than that, my friends.

These are just 5 of the total number of rules and regulations you should set for yourselves.  You will have no problem thinking of more, and I encourage you to do so.  By following this advice, you will most definitely aid in the effort to prevent the “self-fulfilling prophecy.”  You will help save humanity from itself.  That seems to be, to me, the worst way to go – destroying the world ourselves, and at the same time, being unaware of what we are doing.  I’m shaking in my shoes…

The Powers That Be

Just a little something to entertain... (and  hopefully inspire you!)

(Part 1)

The powers that be

Are looking at me

Peering with their long-distance eyes

Watching what I do from deep space

Watching from sunset to sunrise

The powers that be

Listen to me

No matter where I am

They listen to me

Through mountain and trees

Sending microwave signals

Knocking me to my knees

Putting thoughts in my head

Like I ought to be dead

Transmitting with relative ease.

Powers that be, can you see inside me?

Can you read what I’m thinking right now?

You spike my water with LSD

Do nasty things that make me pee

I could be in a restaurant

I could be in a store

I wet myself before I hit the door

People around me think I lost my mind

I’m given no rest

I can never unwind

I have implants

Inside of my head

The circuitry is always read

The Bureau it knows

When I come and go

They threaten I’ll soon be dead.

(Part 2)

There’s a farm of antennas across the town

They hear up the air

Turn it upside down

They can paint a picture across the skies

They fill our heads with horrible lies

They can burn us up

Drown us, too

They can do anything they want to do

They care not about me

They care not about you

They tell us there’s nothing we can do

But, they’re wrong.

The powers that be

Think they really know me

That I am completely under their control

I use this guise

To fool their eyes

I’m a whistle Blower, y’know!

(Part 3)

Powers that be,

Better watch your back

Thousands are awakened each day

We are spreading the truth

We are tightening the noose

We are planning to blow you away

The rules and the laws that you constantly change

And the Constitution that you’ve rearranged

And our Bill of Rights that you’ve flushed away

Will all be restored, and we’ll make you pay.

The word we’re all spreading is “Revolution!”

And brother, you know it’s the final solution

We all have our guns and ammunition

And we are ready to remedy our condition

Lining up across the nation

“Revolt and Reclaim!” is the latest sensation

We’re ready to remove this aberration

“Death to the powers that be” our mission

(Part 4)

Soon, we will celebrate our success

And my brothers and sisters, I must confess

It’s nice to be free

Come join hands with me

Our country we must redress

We will celebrate this day

A new independence

As we prepare for our descendants

A better world in which to thrive

To live to the fullest, not just to survive

A beautiful world so full of life

No one at all living in strife

No fear of the gun

No fear of the knife

They can sleep in their beds and dream away

For we have secured them a brand new day

And a long, and lovely tomorrow.

Thanks for Reading!

So, Here We Are, in 2012...

So, here we are embarking upon a new year.  Not just any year, but the year – 2012.  So much has been written over the last 25 or so years since the significance of 2012 was pulled out of obscurity and laid, with a myriad of interpretations, clearly in the light of awareness.  And it might be “gloom and doom,” or it might just be hard fact.  I doubt, however, the latter.  Even though I do not buy the negative, destructive predictions in their entirety, I do see trends in the news that could bring to fruition some or all of the terrible predictions made by the astute Mayans centuries ago.

We are a fragile species.  Fragile because we think we are invincible, intelligent, and because we think we have an answer and solution for everything and every problem.  From business, to science, to war;  the elite, or The Powers that Be (TPTB), feel they have it all figured out, and they know exactly how to handle the 99%, as we are referred to.  And we, the 99%, think we are ready to tackle TPTB as they progress into their “endgame.”  Be careful, now.  These days, disinformation and hype come from every direction, and I mean all 360 degrees of direction.  In an earlier post, I talked about “the self-fulfilling prophecy.”  Along with some other points of contention, I want to take that concept, and others related to it, a few steps forward.  In the end, the conclusion I wish to reach, and convince you of, is to not take anything for granted.  Don’t assume – you know the old saying (for those who do not, it goes like this: Never assume anything.  For when you assume, you make an “ass” out of “U” and “Me.”). Next, ask questions.  Remember, the only dumb question is the one not asked.  Be inquisitive.  Don’t take anybody’s word.  Keep your eyes open – keep one eye on the alternative press, where you are likely to receive the truth in the news, and keep the other eye on the mainstream media, wherein lies the deception, cover-ups, and falsehoods.  There are rotten apples on both sides of the reporting fence, however, so be wary.  There are only a handful of people I would trust unconditionally when they share their opinions.  Likewise, there are a handful of sites I endorse for truthful news and reporting. 

Another task we, the awakened ones (?), must undertake:  To keep watch on those who are just coming out of their imposed coma, and for those who are looking for some kind of direction – those who crave to be led – I refuse to use the word sheeple, or refer to them as lemmings heading for the edge of the cliff.  All they need is information.  All they want is to be understood, and to understand.  Our job is to educate.  Our job is to spread truth, and to encourage our brothers and sisters to take note.  We should always welcome our newly awakened brothers and sisters with open arms, unconditional acceptance, and unconditional love, and patience as well.  This is a difficult task, and you will soon find it is harder than you think.  But persevere.  You will eventually see progress.

Additionally, we need to take care of #1.  We need to make sure we are getting what we need:  the right information, maintaining our grasp of the truth, and believe me, from experience; you need to take care of your physical and mental needs.  Stay in shape. Take your vitamins (for example, Vitamin D3 and a potent silver solution will help ward off infection by strengthening our immune systems).  Mentally, take holidays away from all of this stuff.  Constantly bathing yourself in all of this information can have devastating effects on our mental functioning.  We can become terribly depressed; we can develop a powerful paranoia.  In some individuals, this combination is the recipe for having to take medication, and I promise you that you will find a ton of information out there which tells us all of the side effects of these medications – believe me, if you can avoid medication, please opt for that.  However, some individuals will, unfortunately, require medication.  I am not ashamed to admit I am on medication.  I did not follow my own advice.  I delved too deeply in all of this conspiracy and deception, and, being prone to depression anyway, I fell victim to a serious period of depression which almost ended me.  This is no joke, it is important advice.

Also, remember you have a family.  You have parents and brothers and sisters.  You have wives and husbands, and significant others.  You have cousins, aunts and uncles.  In other words, you have a life! Please remember this.  Don’t lose the support of the family.  This is good energy; good fuel to keep your “truth-seeking” self running smoothly.  Recharge once in a while.  You cannot help others if you do not help yourself.  Powerful words, aren’t they?  They are so, so true, however.  Take notes!  Over the course of the year, I will cover different aspects of this momentous year.  Let’s see how it unfolds. 

Lastly, never give up hope.  Even if things look bleak, stay in touch with that light.  Stay enrobed in positive energy, have faith in yourself, mother Earth, and don’t forget God.  So many people have forgotten.  I am not endorsing one religion over the other – freedom to worship in whatever method or mode we want to is one of our constitutional rights, along with how we perceive God.  However, don’t forget God.  He works in strange and unique ways. 

So now, the lecture is over.  I will keep them coming, however not every post is going to be like this.  I will try and keep the important news in focus.  Also, I have a creative partner.  We are “Awareness Artists,” along with many other creative people who try and spread the truth through art of all kinds, ranging from performance art, to theater, Hollywood, music, painters, watercolor artists, you name it.  You are all awareness artists, but you do not know it yet – some of you do, however, and you know how to get in touch with that concept.  My creative partner is Shanona Ryder, and you can find her Right here, at her little corner on the web.  I trust what she has to say implicitly.  Please check her out.  She is awesome, and will inform and entertain.

We will meet again soon, right here, on my little spot on the web!

Turn Off Your Prime Time TV for One Hour

I would like for you to take 45 minutes and watch this presentation on Radiation.  The first part of the prior sentence will take you there...  The focus is on Fukushima, and the fallout currently spreading across the planet, and the meltdown which is soon to reach Japan's supply of ground water.  It also talks about Fallujah during the Iraqi "war."  Radiation, in these amounts, is not our friend.  It causes cancer, genetic malformations and manipulation.  It creates people with a myriad of problems, both physical and mental.  It destroys nature's processes, affecting our foods, our water, our breathable air and atmosphere.

When you are done, please take time to reflect, investigate, and check it out yourself.  Then go to This amazing site and purchase the latest ALTA report for ten bucks from Clif High.  My goal is not to induce panic, but to open eyes and minds.  We need to know what is going on, what is coming, and what outcomes face us.

Do your homework, live in the present, and keep your eyes wide open.

I love you all, as you all are a part of me.

2012 and the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

As a retired psychologist, I have studied, perused and used many theories in the field of psychotherapy and treatment.  One of those theories that always intrigued me was the “self-fulfilling prophecy.”  Simplified, it says that if you believe it will happen, it most likely will.  Through your reactions and behavior, you will make it happen.  That explanation, however, you won’t find in a book. 

Officially, a self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that, directly or indirectly, causes itself to become true by the terms of the very prophecy itself.  This is caused by a type of positive feedback between the belief and the behavior.  It is a well-documented effect, primarily human in nature, and can be traced back in time, written in the literature of ancient Greece and India.  The 20^th century sociologist Robert K. Merton first coined the phrase “self-fulfilling prophecy,” and formulated its structure and consequences.  In his book, Social Theory and Social Structure,”  he states as an example “… when Roxanna falsely believes that her marriage will fail, her fears of such a failure actually cause the marriage to fail.”  So, in other words, a self-fulfilling prophecy is the tendency of our expectations to foster behavior that is consistent with our expectations.

Now, if we take a minute and look back upon our own lives, we might find a few first-hand examples that clearly elucidate this phenomenon.  I can recall an example from my own experiences:  When I was in graduate school at Hahnemann University, here in the great City of Brotherly Love, I had a course on the biological causes of human behavior (oh, I forget the proper name of the course…).  Having not had too many hard science courses up to that time, I feared that I’d not be able to keep up, given the incredible amount of work, reading, and materials it required.  It did, as a matter of fact, turn out to be a challenging course.  The first half of the course was really hell, as I procrastinated until the last minute, and the end result is that I barely passed the midterm with a 67, scored on “the curve.”  Thus, prophecy fulfilled.  For the second half of the course, it was “do or die.”  I incorporated the help of my then girlfriend (now, my wife…), and with her assistance, I scored a 98% on the final exam.  I passed the course, and learned, first hand, about the self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy and 2012:

The year 2012 is fraught with many claims of impending disaster, and if you are reading this article, then you are most likely aware of the Mayan calendar and what has been “interpreted” as its meaning.  Based on only one codex (out of many that were destroyed), it seems that 2012 is destined to be a very bad year.  It has been written that there is to be everything from magnetic pole shifts, to huge tsunamis, to meteor impacts, to alien invasion.  Between you and me, I wouldn’t mind a little “out of this world” advice, so I wouldn’t mind a visit from the Nordics, or Arcturians (humor added…).

So, when you put it all together, this represents the potential “recipe for disaster” I hope we can avoid.  And, I dare not speak of it too much, but I do want to shout from the mountaintops to beware of the danger of fear itself.  You finally realize, after studying all of this 2012 and conspiracy stuff, that we really can change the world, and it all depends on how we see, interpret and understand the world.  If we hear about, and buy into those many prophecies and predictions, and we become fearful, and withdrawal from daily life and hide ourselves away, we will never learn how to understand and truly interpret all of those cryptic messages the Mayans left for us.  Then, at the worst, we might be able to adopt a “wait and see” attitude, and still prepare for the worst and, at the same time, hope for the best.  If that makes any sense at all…

Most important, and I have said this before in articles, we must keep our heads.  We must not allow ourselves to foolishly follow the lemmings off the edge of the cliff.  By that, I mean we must stay informed.  Read the news, from the world over, from as many sources, as many countries, and in as many languages we can (Google Translator can help with this last one…).

Do not rely on CNN as your only source of information, but surely include it in the list of news sources you put together, both mainstream and alternative, national and international, and I repeat – stay informed!  Learn how to put two and two together.  Look for patterns.  Most importantly, trust your gut.  Your gut is one of the most powerful tools in your personal arsenal.  Some call it intuition, others, clairvoyance.  I like to call it my gut.  We all have one, and unfortunately, we tend to interpret its signals as indigestion or heartburn.  Learn to relax and to open yourself up to your most inner thoughts and your subconscious.  Don’t take my word for it; train yourself.  Learn Yoga, or Tai-Chi.  Your gut will open up and speak volumes.  But please, I beg you – do not cower in a corner, educate yourself.  The internet offers us so much information.  At the end of this article, I will supply you with a short list of sites that will get you started on your journey to awareness.  Welcome to the realm of the informed, the awakened, and the wise.

The Alternative Scenario:

The alternative is this:  People will fear the approach of December, 2012.  They will do one of the following:  (1) They will fear their impending doom, run for shelter, and fall hopelessly into a state of paranoia.  These folks might even bear arms and nervously fire away at anything or anybody they perceive as a threat.  They will become selfish, and they will hoard the things they think are important.  They will either turn psychotic, and/or dead in a short time.  The second possibility is (2) that they will adopt a “devil may care” attitude.   Their logic is something like “the world is ending anyway, so let’s do what we want, when we want, and party until the bitter end.  Worse yet, both of these groups confront one another, and social chaos ensues.  There is a third group I neglected to point out:  those people who couldn’t care less.  Their motto might be bring it on…

Please, if you will, recall Y2K.  Most of us alive now were awake and aware then.  Remember what happened?  Right.  Absolutely nothing.  Despite all of the dire predictions and prophecies, threats of annihilation, all of the electronics in the world failing – nothing.  On January 1^st, 2000, life went on as if nothing had occurred.  In the long run, remember to balance fear with reason.  It’s no sin, and it might just save our asses – from ourselves.
