I never knew I would be this poor and it is so difficult to find cheap quality books-I have found some real treasures recently as far as library sales go-but as I complained to another of the wonderful people I privately email-there is a paucity-drought-dearth-hehe tryin to think of right word;-) of paranormal books at such sales as these-and yes I daresay I think Autumn could and should try to have her own show on cable!! I am sure it would eclipse so much of the other shows about the paranormal I have taken a peek at over the years!-best to you as always!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-85184460055925750552009-04-08T15:34:00.000-07:002009-04-08T15:34:00.000-07:00Correction: 1973 was my welcome wagon to Wonderlan...Correction: 1973 was my welcome wagon to Wonderland, not a year earlier. I'm honoured that you consult with me for additional literature on the Good Neighbours, my peops. I will shortly coordinate a list for you of additional titles to sate your ever-searching mind & transmit it to your electronic address. And yes, Autumn is, indeed, truly blessed with many praeternarural gifts. Ghost-hunting & parapsychology suit her most appropriately, don't they? ~ AE (+:-)} PS My wv is alicis for Alice is!Anadæ Quenyan Effrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099936811529384432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-33671954208636846682009-04-08T15:33:00.000-07:002009-04-08T15:33:00.000-07:00I can't wait to read the links btw Anadae -I have ...I can't wait to read the links btw Anadae -I have always so wanted to have a psychedelic experience myself-but I am nervous of my own psychology with this because of my over-worrying-OCD and analytical personality-the closest I ever got was Salvia (legal of course:-)but for the third dose which i thought would work I couldn't find a "sitter"-Nando actually threatened me somewhat if I tried it -so I chickened out-I do hope to be doing some things out of Breaking Open the Head and am going to ask permission of another blogger and author if I can quote some of his material for this series as I feel it would fit right in perfectly with the series-as maybe many blogs I link to would-so no one be surprised if you get asked for permisssion to quote liberally from posts you have done:-)-all the best!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-14498295177223567092009-04-08T15:24:00.000-07:002009-04-08T15:24:00.000-07:00Anadae -I agree very much about Autumnforest-I am ...Anadae -I agree very much about Autumnforest-I am so lucky to have someone of her intellectual caliber (as with so many others who comment here) to leave comments here!! Her blog always gives me oodles of things to ponder on! I have indeed heard of Julian Jaynes (breakdown of the bicameral mind man??) Thanks so very much for commenting Anadae and thanks as always for your links -BTW I have been trying and trying to find a good "In-the Gno" book around the discount bookstores and libraries -havent hit any paydirt yet at all-haha the closest I came was a book entitled "Fairies" :-) but it was little more than a picture book with little intellectual content -I would definitely like to do more hidden folk and gnome posts as they interest me and i noticed on sitemeter that the hidden folk series generally runs only second to the Belmez Faces on this blog of things people look at -I am sure there is mucho info on the web about the subject -but because of my back I like to work out of great books better as I can lay down in the comfort of my bed and take notes -sometimes if i just type one and definitely two posts in a day my back hurts just from that -well I am being overly wordy yet again -friends always and thanks so much for stopping by!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-30440307100514103202009-04-08T08:04:00.000-07:002009-04-08T08:04:00.000-07:00Isn't Autumn sage in her observations, Devin? ...Isn't Autumn sage in her observations, Devin? I, too, believe that sump'n happened to dumb down the human species, something that di'n affect us elves, though. Expanded consciousness can ebb & flow over all areas of perception. Some of us are more able to access various levels of it naturally, whereas others need chemical adjuncts to attain that same awareness, as Stanislav Grof's research clearly ascertained in a scientific test setting.<BR/><BR/>Ever hear of <A HREF="http://www.julianjaynes.org/" REL="nofollow">Julian Jaynes</A> before? He's not that popular, havin' never really caught on in academia. But he's worth the gander.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of interfacing with the "stoner", stone, and/or mineral kingdoms, please, please, PLEASE, do have thy(s)elf a gander at <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/uponthepath" REL="nofollow">this MySpace™ page</A>. Thank you. It was there at Untermyer Park, under merely a quarter hit of Windowpane in 1972, that the pair of Etruscan sphinxes (facing them, the one on your left is female, the one on your right, male) had come to life for me, their paws raising & lowering in stoic greeting, their beautifully coiffed heads slowly turning from upraised wing to upraised wing. Pretty nifty effect. <BR/><BR/>Was it just a typical hallucination of the psychedelic compound that I'd imbibed? Or, on another level, was the elixir allowing me to rend the Veil, permitting me to see something that the sphinxes were imprinted long ago to do, acting as sentries to this vast & sprawling Græco-Roman estate?<BR/><BR/>That problem child of Dr Albert Hofmann, boy! BTW, April 16th is Bicycle Day, the day that his Philosopher's Stone first took affect on him, riding home from his laboratory on his bicycle. Be careful how you pedal home.<BR/><BR/>A veteran of the psychedelic experience,<BR/>Anadæ Effro ( :-)}Anadæ Quenyan Effrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099936811529384432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-42622061570816012872009-04-07T15:50:00.000-07:002009-04-07T15:50:00.000-07:00nolocontendre-thanks so much for stopping by!

About ten years ago I was pretty close to my two grandkids. One was a girl about 3 and 1/2 who was wise beyond her years, just a little old lady in a tiny body. She was on my lap and we got to talking and the subject turned to what she could remember and who she was "before". She was wrinkling her forehead trying to figure out how what she was remembering could jive with who she was now. I didn't have the ability to ask the right questions and anyway her mom walked in.<BR/>I'm convinced little children don't fully integrate into their new body for a few years, and with the right probing some of them might have quite an interesting story to tell.nolocontenderehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052215711210450342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-71627891274839370002009-04-06T11:46:00.000-07:002009-04-06T11:46:00.000-07:00Autumnforest thanks so much for your great comment...Autumnforest thanks so much for your great comment-I agree wholeheartedly about finding a way to stimulate the parts of the brain we dont use-thanks for stopping by-best as always!!<BR/><BR/>Aggie-thanks so much for stopping by-I hope to have the next part of the series here in a couple of days-it will be a pretty free flowing "ideas" series-best to you as always!!<BR/><BR/>Sub-specie-thanks so much for stopping by and commenting-the Grofs have many books published-I wonder if any of the older ones might be available on scribd.com? best to you!!<BR/><BR/>MD-I am so glad you enjoyed the post-thanks for stopping by and commenting-i hope to have more to the series here soon-best to you always!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-76482719795739758072009-04-06T06:40:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:40:00.000-07:00Another great read DevinAnother great read DevinMiddle Ditchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493665280732775898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328993352663790127.post-87304972888763765732009-04-05T14:57:00.000-07:002009-04-05T14:57:00.000-07:00Good post.

Wow! Lots to think about. I ...Wonderful article! Wow! Lots to think about. I think what comes to mind for me is that we are more than the boundaries of our bodies. As someone who's had the ability to read objects and have precognitive dreams about airline disasters, I know that we can be outside our body and experience much more. Perhaps for reasons of survival, man has evolved to make it harder to reach beyond himself so he can deal with the mortal world he must live within on a daily basis. That huge part of our brains we don't use--we must find a way to stimulate them. LSD and peyote might be some of the ways, as is astral projection and remote viewing, but I suspect in the future we will be able to go to the exact part of the brain we desire to stimulate, stimulate it, and experience things that used to be balked at like precognition, psychic abilities, savant artistry, and channeling. I can't wait!Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.com
