audio conversation with William Henry

investigative mythologist

William Henry calls himself an investigative Mytholgyst, and that’s a term I really like. I’ve followed his work for the last decade, and I am continually impressed with his ideas and insights. He has researched ancient Egyptian artwork, pre-Renaissance art, gnostic texts and hidden messages within the world's mythology.

His most recent book, THE SECRET OF SION looks deeply into the early paintings and representations of Jesus, and he concludes there is a symbolic message hidden in those works. Could it be that Jesus is an avatar from a race of advanced light beings who dwell at the center of our galaxy and travel via wormhole to and from this cosmic center?

Okay, what is the artist trying to tell us?

The painting above is The Transfiguration by Fra Angelico. Jesus wears the blinding cloak of light. The Taoists call it "the diamond body," and those who have attained it are called "the immortals" and "the cloudwalkers." Yogic schools call it "the divine body." In the Old Testament it’s called the Cloak of Many Colors. In the Hermetic Corpus, it is called "the immortal body." In the alchemical tradition, the Emerald Tablet calls it “the golden body."

Is this an actual garment? Or is it a metaphor?

I encourage you to look at some visual info on William's latest book, here's the amazon LINK, and make sure to flip thru the LOOK INSIDE feature. Lotsa color photos of mythic artwork.

Also visit his page on Whitley Strieber’s UNKNOWN COUNTRY where he hosts a weekly audio podcast series called REVELATIONS.

Also, during the interview I asked (as always) about mythic owl imagery, and William spoke about the owl outline as part of the Capital grounds in Washington DC. See the image below.

Oh those nutty Masons!

________________________________________________________

During our conversation William tells a story of his first trip to Egypt and seeing a performance by a Whirling Dervish! Is the secret of worm-holes encoded within this mystical dance? The images below are from his book, THE SECRET OF SION, pretty cool isn't it!

From mere mortal on the stage, to flying saucer, to dual portals in space. Does an 800 year old mystic Islamic dance encode the secrets of modern physics?

And - Here's another interview on the same book with William Henry, this one hosted by Whitley Strieber, linked HERE.

first-person experiences from Lucretia Heart

Lucretia Heart has just posted a new series of essays at her SPIRALS END site. As always, they are detailed, thoughtful, well written and utterly fascinating.

Her experiences are profoundly strange, and at the same time she is eloquent and persuasive in a way that her stories come across as credible, at least to me.

This heartfelt blog contains a wealth of first-person experiences that should be read (in it's entirety) by anyone who is serious about trying to make sense of this mystery. I simply amazed at the depth of this on-going series of essays. Plus, she's funny too!

The Issue of Compromised Abductees

So I know I'm not the only one who has faced this odd knowledge that I've done things apparently on behalf of the aliens to other abductees. This lends another entire layer to the question of what exactly is going on. I'm human. I've grown up here. Yet I've acted on their behalf. How many times? Would I have agreed to this sort of behavior in my normal mind state if I knew the reasons? Would I think these reasons justified my actions? I don't remember enough to say yet.

________________________________________________________

This is an experience (linked below) that I have NEVER heard before in all my decades of scouring the abduction literature. There are details and implications in this story that leave me thunderstruck.

Writing On Roadside Diner Windows

Still, they didn't notice me until I literally went up to the big window and thumped both hands on the glass. I could see them all looking up at me just completely startled. The older teen boy's reaction was far more dramatic-- he looked utterly freaked out. I'll never forget that look I saw on his face. But in that mind state, I was all business.

Lucretia Heart and I recorded an interview in November of 2010, it's linked HERE. There is over two-hours of conversation where she shares some of her challenging life experiences.

1234 and Alan Abbadessa

Oh those numbers...

Alan Abbadessa wrote a follow-up blog post on his site ALL THE HAPPY CREATURES. This is a follow-up to some of the stuff we talked about in our audio conversation from a month ago.

The image at the top of this post is from a row of facebook comments, it was just a few comments below in this same row where I saw that Alan had added this new posting. The comment includes both our names, 1234 and the word OWLS. This was on THE SECRET SUN facebook page.

Alan is the editor of THE SYNC BOOK and a first hand experiencer of some profoundly intense synchronicities.

His recent post (linked HERE) is all about the star Sirius, and it's powerful synchro-resonance. This was part of our audio conversation (an interesting part!) and it all just keeps getting weirder.

Also, the OWS above is for Occupy Wall Street.

my first podcast and 1234

Oh those numbers...

I just found another 1234 and it seems sorta easy to figure out what it might be trying to tell me. Just so y'all know, this number seems to show up a LOT in my life, sometimes in overtly synchro-resonant ways.

I occasionally check my blog stats, and this number jumped out at me. This is the total number of page hits from a post way back in 2009. This was an excellent audio interview with Christopher Knowles (of The Secret Sun). Curiously, this was the very first interview I did in my role as pod-caster. It seems funny that this post would chime in at 1234 right at the moment I checked in. I see it as a less than subtle nudge to do more interviews!

I remember clearly how excited (and nervous) I was during the conversation with Mr. Knowles. I've been deeply impressed with his insights about these mysterious topics. If you haven't heard it, I strongly recommend listening to this interview!

Whitley Strieber and Larry Warren and Facebook

Well whadda y'know...

Here's what I found this morning on my facebook page. Two outspoken UFO experiencers share a similar date on the calendar. Never noticed this until right now. Click on the image above for a HI-rez view.

email correspondence

Here’s a back and forth set of emails with a fellow named Dennis (a pseudonym). We’ve talked on the phone a lot and he’s shared some intense memories of what we all know as the UFO abduction phenomenon. But it get’s weirder, his experiences include Bigfoot and the ever-present synchronicities.

I thought our email conversation was interesting, so I’m sharing it with the world.

Hey Mike,

So I've been thinking about a couple things you said during our last conversation. You talked about seeing five aliens in your yard and marveled at the level of denial which took place.

I've been wondering where your process is because it seems like there has been a large shift in your thinking.

Dennis,

You ask about my process?

Hahahahaha

My process is sorta all over the map.

I say the same thing over and over and over. I have all these puzzle pieces that are interlocked on the table, and they absolutely make a picture. There are pieces missing but I can certainly infer what's in those blank spots. I'm left to conclude that I am an alien abductee. But, without knowing absolutely what’s inside those blank areas, it just feels dishonest to make that claim.

So - I go right up to the line with how I present myself. I say (rather awkwardly) that I am someone who might have, maybe, experienced some sort of contact event in my life, but it might be on some dream-like or ethereal level that is hard to explain. Maybe, sorta, kinda.

I'll periodically say to my self, SCREW IT! I should just declare what I suspect is true! But (as I said above) it just wouldn't feel honest without some direct memory.

Now, that said, I have been told by psychics (more than one) that I came to the earth plane after consciously choosing NOT to remember these experiences. For some reason, there is a purpose to this NOT knowing. As strange as that sounds, this seems to "feel" like a truism.

I think my personal level of acceptance or denial can waver on a sort of continuum, depending on how the wind blows.

How's that for a wishy-washy reply?

peace,
Mike C

Hey Mike,

I really enjoyed your response to where's your process...I could relate very well to what you wrote. There was a time when I was exploring the "reality" of my experiences (while having very clear memories...how's that for denial.) and often felt very conflicted about their nature.

I don't think that's wishy washy at all. I think it shows that your bumping into a dynamic, complex unknown set of experiences and doing your honest best to apprise them.

I don't mean to sound as if I've "graduated" beyond these experiences to some level of proficient, fearless interaction...I simply have not. I guess I have some measure of peace that I didn't a decade or so ago. I think these experiences, and all the ancillary stressors that seem to come with the territory, take an enormous toll.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoyed your email.

Merry Christmas,
Dennis

Dennis,

I just re-read our correspondence, and I might use some of the text in a blog post. I thought the ideas and anxieties we articulated were really good.

Peace,
Mike C!

Please note, I edited our text above - just a little.

LEGO UFO abduction toy

The description right on the box says: UFO Abduction

Pop culture is saturated with the UFO ABDUCTION meme, much of it directed at the kiddies. LEGO features a whole line of products called ALIEN CONQUEST. The folks at project Bluebook are earning their salaries.

white owls and hell-hounds

I just read a first-person of strangeness account involving a large WHITE OWL, a hell-hound, crop circles, ley lines and ancient sites in Briton. This was an experience that also included Bert Jansen, the Dutch crop circle researcher. Well worth reading.

Here's the LINK to this fascinating owl story.

LIFTED (animated short from Pixar)

UFO abduction has seeped into our collective pop-culture so completely that mainstream kids cartoons can present the narrative without a single word of dialogue.

eye witness account of a close-up UFO sighting

This is a very clear and heartfelt bit of first-person testimony. I was particularly impressed when she described the occupant of the craft, her description matches what i have heard personally and read in the literature. My impression is that this woman is sharing a very real memory.

I don't have much information about this compelling clip. All I know is that it's an excerpt from a BBC documentary from 1977. For me, there is something captivating about 16mm footage shot in one long take on a cloudy day. Beautiful.

______________________________________________________

Additional info added Christmas 2011:

I found a few images on-line that show this woman's renderings of the craft and it's occupants. I've added them below.

Jack Kirby super heroes as UFO occupants

John Mack documentary

During my on-going research into this mystifying phenomenon, I've had the chance to speak to a handful of folks who have worked with Dr. John Mack. Each of them have praised his insights and his compassionate nature.

I am deeply impressed with Dr. Mack's ability to grapple with this elusive experience. I'm glad he was such a vocal spokesman for his own research. We are all fortunate that he was so open to allowing these filmmakers access to himself and his patients.

more owl weirdness

Curious owl sighting at my desk.

Feliz Navidad from rural Idaho. It's cold, snowy and beautiful out my door as I type this, and the coffee is hot. Peace on earth, and I mean it!

audio conversation with Dr. Leo Sprinkle (with improved audio)

Leo Sprinkle photographed in Wyoming with Mac Tonnies.

Mac wrote: The blur is almost certainly the result of paranormal forces! ;-).

I love Leo Sprinkle! That's a simple statement of fact.

I did an audio interview with him almost a year ago, but there was an issue with the audio quality. Leo was on a phone line, and he sounded so quiet that it made his voice difficult to hear.

I used an application to improve the sound levels for this interview, and now it sounds a lot better. I am re-posting this podcast here.

two hours / one minute long

This is one of the most beautiful and moving interviews I've done, and I hope this improvement in sound will make it easier to listen to, the insights from Leo are really heartwarming.

The original post from Jan. 2011 and show notes are linked HERE.

Oh those numbers...

And, it's happened again. Check out the synchro-numero-weirdness when I revised this MP3 with the updated sound. It seems 1-2-3-4 is following me.

Jason Horsley on Diet-Soap

Jason Horsley and/or Aeolas Kephas

A really intense conversation between Jason Horsley and Douglas Lain on the subject of UFOs. These guys are eager to dig deep into the more metaphysical aspects of the phenomenon, and both share really odd life experiences that just "might" point to contact with, well, something.

The one-hour conversation linked HERE.

Douglas is an author of a series of books, linked HERE.

Jason was once known as Aeolas Kephas, and his much missed podcast series is linked HERE. I've listened to them all, and some multiple times. And his books (using various names as author) are linked HERE and HERE. Like everyone else, he has a blog, linked HERE.

I was a guest on Diet Soap (from a little over a year ago) and our conversation is linked HERE. His audio offerings go way beyond podcasting, instead they are little art pieces.

Douglas Lain, a podcaster with VERY high standards, something I appreciate enormously!

Planet of the Apes / 2001 / 123

ubber-spoiler

The climactic ending of one movie, with the music from another movie (both from 1968) and a time count of 1:23. (thanks Brizdaz)

The visuals of Planet of the Apes set to the music of 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

Many of the elements from the TRIAD post below, and the synchro-post below that. For reasons unknown, I have been seeing the number 123, 1234 or 12345 in ways that seem to be synchro-magic. Click HERE for other examples.
