audio conversation with Chica Bruce

It's tricky to try and describe this woman. Besides the fact that she’s the author of six books, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of the esoteric and it's implications. Her insights range from the murky paranormal goings on at the notorious Montauk base at the tip of Long Island to the cutting edge quantum sciences. Plus, she quite a skilled communicator, so it's a delight to try and keep up with her rapid fire mind.

Chica publishes under her proper name, Alexandra Bruce. A few of her books are listed below.

2012 Science or Superstition

The Philadelphia Experiment Murder: Parallel Universes and the Physics of Insanity

Beyond the Bleep

Beyond the Secret

And she translated this book from Portuguese to English, Celestial Secrets: The Hidden History of the Fatima Incident

She’s been a regular contributor to disinformation.com

Presently she’s managing a website with daily updates featuring video clips about the paranormal, fringe science and politics. The site is called Forbidden-Knowledge-TV.

I strongly encourage everyone to listen to these audio interviews with Chica, Radio Mysterioso and Adam GoRightly's Untamed Dimensions. Both these podcasts make an excellent companion to this post.

Here’s a link to all her books on an amazon authors page.

I'll also add that Chica and I share something in common, we both spent one year of our lives at NYU film school. I feel strongly we could both skillfully spout off facts about Citizen Kane.

October 2009 (audio)

My pose of existential exhaustion, a self-portrait of the final hours of the final day of October while on the phone with Anya Briggs.

The month of October 2009 was, without question, one of the most bizarre and impressive things that I've ever experienced.

I was literally swallowed up in series of unrelenting synchronicities, each more profound than the one proceeding it. It felt like it was impossible to try to process what was happening in the moment and now, almost a full year later, I've made a real-deal effort to try and look at the events of that whirl-wind month.

If I tried to write out what went down, it would end up being a novel. So I created an audio retelling, as best as I could, of those 31 days.

Beyond my retelling of the events of the month, this audio includes recorded conversations with Stacey, Marla Frees, a psychic session with Anya Briggs a Tarot reading from William Henry and The Beach Boys. There is some heartfelt stuff about my friend Mac Tonnies, and this felt really important to share. It might be helpful to review the ongoing blog entries during that month. Those were posted in real time, and my sense of mystification is palpable. Click here to see every post from October of '09.

Update added March 8th, 2011:

Owls make an appearance while recording this deeply introspective podcast. Here's a curious bit of confirmation (at least for me) that the stuff in this audio essay is important. I share the haunting events in a separate post (HERE).

audio conversation with Nick Redfern

Nick Redfern has just published a new work titled FINAL EVENTS, he states that this is: "the stangest book I've ever written."

That's the kind of thing that'll get my interest.

The book deals with a curious think tank within the Intelligence community initially created to look into the UFO phenomenon. After year of covert research with access to top secret government files, the people involved in the research reached a conclusion that those pesky UFOs are not piloted by aliens from another planet, they are instead demonic entities that are here to somehow consume our souls. These zealots proclaim that there is an immediate need to establish an authoritarian Christian surveillance state.

The book is subtitled: The Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife.

Nick makes good use of the interview by carefully backing up this extremely bizarre premise. Fundamentalism, occult rituals, Aleister Crowley, heavy-handed demonic deception and plans for global control all collide together during this audio conversation.

I was spellbound listening to Nick weave together the divergent threads of this incredibly strange story. Because of the intensity of the ongoing narrative, I was (mostly) pretty quiet.

Also, see the excellent interview on THE SECRET SUN. Chris Knowles and Nick delve into the esoteric weirdness, albeit in a written format.

NOTE: I apologize for the audio quality during the interview, there is a slight ambient noise throughout.

And heres's a follow up blog post, featuring an interview with Nick from March 2011.

As goes Nick's book, so goes Quatermass and the Pit (1968)

Good grief, how could I have possibly forgotten to bring up what might be my favorite movie of all time? Hammer studios goes head to head with 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY with this masterpiece. The clip below is the grand finale, so if you haven't seen it DON'T CLICK ON IT cuz it'll spoil everything!

I remember watching this movie on TV as a kid in the early 70's, and it truly blew my mind.

correspondence with people sharing their stories

One of the most powerful things that has happened since starting this blog is that people have been sharing their life experiences with me. Over the last few days, I've been corresponding with a person (who's name will remain private, for purposes here, I'll call him Sam), and the encounters he shares are astounding, and at the same time maddeningly typical. Below is my reply to him, edited slightly.

Sam,

I just read (and re-read) your messages to me. Let me say that EVERYTHING you've written, I've heard already, either first hand or in the literature.

And some of it fits into my own memories and experiences. The one thing that I feel SO strongly about is this underlying sense of mission, this is something that you and others have mentioned. I wallow in it, and it has created compulsive behavior in me. I don't know what to make of it. I recognize how delusional this might sound, but I have this deep and profound sense that SOMETHING is happening that is of monumental importance. And, I find that this "feeling" gets confirmed over and over and over by people who I interact with.

I have been reaching out a little bit, but more than that, people have been finding me. And the stories that emerge are SO similar. These shared stories create an undeniable pattern.

I struggle with trying to understand "my role here" and in doing so, it seems that I generate more people contacting me. Maybe that IS my role? I am perfectly baffled. I am deeply aware that each and every person who tells me their experiences are dealing with something that is profoundly personal. Somehow, the experiences seem tailored to them - and them alone.

Peace and strength to you my friend,
Mike C!

Ida Kannenberg, a delightful Contactee

The UFO community has lost one of its true jewels. Ida Kannenberg died on May 17th of this year, she was 95 years old.

Of all the authors that have inspired me, Ida was the one who I went back to over and over as a way to hold onto some sort of framework for this phenomenon. She told of life events that included UFOs, visitations from human entities, telepathic messages and channeling.

She lobbied that much of what might be perceived as literal was in fact metaphoric and they mythic. She wrote (or channeled) about the profound difference between spirit and the soul, something that went beyond what we might assume a UFO contactee wouldn't try to tackle. Plus - She was funny and sassy, and it makes her books perfectly delightful.

She was close friends with Leo Sprinkle, and he gave me her email address an encouraged me to reach out to her. I corresponded briefly during the winter of 2006. She was very supportive, as well as sharing stories about her cats:

"Princess Fiona gets into every nook and cranny of the house and into mischief at the same time. Lord Spike is too fat to get into the same corners. Old cranky Tibbetts just sleeps in the guest bed and sulks. Hope you are having a good Christmas time and will keep in touch through the new year. --- Ida Kannenberg"

Luminosity back on-line

The extremely unsettling writings from Dan Mitchell are back on-line (click HERE). In April of this year he took down the blog in it's previous incarnation. The story he shared during that phase was saturated in haunting imagery and frightening implications. It read like something from Whitley Strieber or H.P. Lovecraft. Here's his less than subtle disclaimer: I present this blog as a work of fiction, but I have a penchant for sarcasm. I present myself as a intellectual function and nothing more.

From Mike Clelland Jan 31, 2022:

I have become suspect of the blog posts and written work by Dan Mitchell. I cannot vouch for his sincerity. I am including this notice here as a disclaimer.

Audio conversation with Chuck Weiss

I am deeply impressed with Chuck Weiss and his profound openness. He tells a story that might seem typical among the alien contact literature, but his calm and thoughtful analysis of his own experiences sets him apart in a way that makes me pay very close attention to his claims. His story might be almost impossible to believe, except for the fact that he presents the first-hand details in such a thoughtful tone.
