There has recently been much conjecture presented in posts at X.com that the present war in the Middle East has been initiated by fanatical zealots in positions of governmental authority that believe these actions will somehow summon the 'Messiah' and / or 'Moshiach.'

example X post commentary

A recent post of my own at X.com states something that this blogger knows with certainty due to experiences chronicled in detail in blog articles and in my 1997 'paranormal initiation' case study book Testament —

Something known by a metaphysically and spiritually knowledgeable person is that one must accept personal responsibility for all of one's actions during Earth life and there are no karmic exceptions for one having chosen to belong to a military or corporation hierarchy or for any conduct that is at odds with 'the golden rule' — once reasoned through the entranced channeler Edgar Cayce as "As ye do unto the least of thy brethren, ye do unto thy Maker."

As metaphysical journalist, I realized that I was serving as a surrogate / 'everyman' for readers. Since 1997 this blogger has been reporting about how researching a 'talking poltergeist' case resulted with my discovering startling indications that I'd lived a previous incarnation as an ancient 'god-king-priest' 'Bel-Marduk.' A 2020 blog article provides some details about my 'paranormal initiation' —

It was in the summer 25 years ago when many aspects of my life changed as my 'paranormal initiation' proceeded upon arriving home in Los Angeles after my research trip to Oklahoma to investigate what had been called a 'talking poltergeist' haunting involving an entity named 'Michael.' As a variety of phenomenal incidents continued to occur before my eyes, omnipresence was a lesson of my 'unseen guide'/'guardian angel.' During the first months of this discovered involvement, occurrences included witnessing the materialization of coins, technological phenomena such as my television turning on and off, and Electronic Voice Phenomena heard when I was transcribing tape recordings. As mentioned previously — I found that there was no other conclusion possible than a Loving and unlimited creative Superconsciousness had found a way of revealing participation in my life through an ongoing paranormal initiation.

I now was able to distinguish the relevance of the term Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit in signifying the omnipresent Spiritual Force (or Christ Force) manifesting the Divine Will of God. I decided that the mysterious 'Michael' could only be an aspect of the enigmatic Archangel Whose manifestations had inspired diverse cultural permutations throughout the ages. For decades, psychical researchers had estimated the diverse ‘poltergeist’ phenomena as somehow tying-in with the subconscious mind yet they hadn’t defined a Superconscious element. (article)

My spiritual path and 'paranormal initiation' included two occasions when I witnessed bushes inexplicably go up in flames on the hillside outside my condo in 1994. This photo showing me with one of the two clumps of burned bushes is from a sequence of photos taken in the vicinity of my home in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. I was 39 years old when this photo was taken in 1996. During this period, I was transcribing interviews and audio journals recorded on microcassettes for a case study book published in January 1997. (photographer: Timothy Fielding) (article)

Regarding my personal case chronology encompassing a variety of transcendental communication types including EVP / ITC and solar plexus / externalized or 'Direct Voice' phenomena, the lore of ancient Sumer and Egypt has always interested me. In the 1980s in my later 20s, I read books by Zecharia Sitchin, who presented his analysis of what could be learned from artifacts of ancient civilizations.

Sitchin had shared his perspective of a "great Disaster" that Marduk wasn't able to prevent. The Wars of Gods and Men (1985) deals in great depth with what the author believed to have been an ancient nuclear holocaust. This has been one of the main considerations for sharing my experiences with others throughout the last 26 years.

In 1995 upon experiencing what can only be described as my 'paranormal initiation,' I again considered some of Sitchen's information about the individual who is today known as 'Bel-Marduk.' Clay tablets about Bel-Marduk found in the ruins of Ashur and Nineveh had been transcribed and translated by Heinrich Zimmern. Sitchin wrote in The Wars of Gods and Men (1985) about "Marduk or Bel . . . being confined in The Mountain . . ." I noticed parallels with events in my own life as I had been employed as staff publicity writer by Paramount Pictures—the corporate entertainment company with the Mountain logo—prior to realizing the necessity of becoming a metaphysical author. The possibility of having lived a previous life as Bel-Marduk seemed to be confirmed when I found an Egyptian-style pendant presenting a profile view of someone who looked just like me.

There are parallels between the life of Jesus of Nazareth and Bel of Babylonia. As chronicled by Bible scholar-historians, there was a Christed one who is known today as 'Jesus' yet little is known about definitive metaphysical instruction to be associated with him or any of the ones whose chronicled life experiences have contributed to the apparent composite character presented in the Holy Bible. (Article: "Essential Yet Little-Known Metaphysical Perspectives of 'Jesus Christ'")

The gamut of 'paranormal' or 'supernatural' occurrences witnessed by myself brought certain understanding regarding the true meaning of the concept of the 'Messiah.' as I've reported in a blog articles and posts at X.com.

Today, it has become evident that the same location where civilization once ended long ago may ultimately lead to another cataclysm once again because the present ongoing war evinces a breakdown in common sense empathy for people living in other geographical paperwork principalities. Southern Mesopotamia, the ancient region of Sumer, is located in modern-day southern Iraq, extending into parts of Kuwait and near the border with Iran. This area, often referred to as the "cradle of civilization," is situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, specifically from the city of Baghdad down to the Persian Gulf.

Orientalist and biblical scholar Zecariah Sitchin wrote in one of his books:

. . . When Stephen Langdon included an English translation in his 1923 volume on the Mesopotamian New Year Mystery Texts, he titled the text The Death and Resurrection of Bel-Marduk and highlighted its parallels to the New Testament tale of the death and resurrection of Jesus . . . Mesopotamian texts relate that he went into exile; in Egypt Ra acquired the epithet Amen, "The Hidden One."

In a 2022 blog article I wrote:

In Sitchin's The Stairway to Heaven, the Egyptian lore includes 'the Amen-Ta' ('the Hidden Place'). After reading about 'Bel-Marduk'; 'Amen-Ra'/'Amun-Ra'; and 'Ra-Ta' (1, 2)—as channeled by Edgar Cayce in an hypnotic trance: "the priest who gave the entrance into the Holy of Holies to the king and then gave the rule to people, falling in disfavor and banished by king"—my conclusion became that if I was the reincarnation of someone even if only metaphorically, it could only be this Bel-Marduk. There was an obvious parallel with the mountain logo seen at the beginning of each Paramount movie I'd helped publicize. Similar to Bel being trapped in the mountain, my talents had been used to serve the corporate entertainment principality of Paramount Pictures for more than seven and a half years. (article)

Recent blog articles providing details of my unique 'paranormal initiation' include "In Comparison to the Lives of Other People This Is How Mine Became 'Over-The-Top' 30 Years Ago (Illustrated" and "The Conclusive Solution to 'The Poltergeist Puzzle' Is Also The Key to Placing In Perspective So-Called 'Possession' / 'Obsession' Phenomena".

Since the Iran war commenced for reasons that aren't being stated by the smug and self-satisfied people who mistakenly consider themselves as U.S. government elite minions unhampered by the spiritual and cosmological rules made known in transcendental communication case chronologies, this blogger has been living in a state of shock that suggests past life memories becoming reawakened. My nights have been full of puzzling dreams. Last night an unexpected tableau featured my brother and his public relations company partner who was seen by myself to be missing one of his legs. Awaking and contemplating what happened, the interpretation seemed to convey that the American President 'doesn't have a leg to stand on' in relation to the reasons he has articulated for having commenced such a dreadful upheaval to the lives of so many other human beings whom are all part of 'Oneself' when considering how each individual personality is a consciousness unit of an all-encompassing 'All That Is' / 'The Only One' — one of the lessons articulated in diverse ways among extensively documented cases of 'channeled' instruction that I've shared in blog articles.

For more than a decade, I've been contemplating how so much of humanity can ignore or remain oblivious to the evidence and data in relation to 'paranormal' phenomena and transcendental communication case chronologies profiled in hundreds of articles at this blog. As one extensively documented channeled orator (through scientist-studied channeler Mark Probert) has instructed:

"There are really no dead except those who are not awake. You see, many people, great masses, all of the human race in fact, go around with their eyes open. It appears they are awake, they are not. They are only aware of their little outside dream, hoping it will be as they emotionally expect it to be. They are not awake. These are the living dead. All of us have come up from that state. By degrees we come out of our dream into a greater state of reality. Those that leave the physical structure in what is called death, they enter a plane called the astral plane. The majority enter only what is called the low level astral plane. Are there piles and piles of these planes in places, in locales. No. They are simply states of awareness and human beings create states of awareness from their gatherings, or the lack of their gatherings here on this earth plane, and live in these states of awareness." (article)

What can this blogger have in common with all the people on this planet oblivious to intellectual and emotional development related in expanding one's consciousness about metaphysical, spiritual and cosmological aspects of life? After all, the same 'God Force' is interlinked with the consciousness of each one of us. As previously explained about what has been learned from reading authentic trance channeling oration transcripts —

Considering the insights made possible through my study into the field of transcendental communication cases in recent decades, I've learned "the Soul records memory as feelings" and "everyone's opinion about any one thing will differ often vastly, for each has formulated that opinion based on his unique experiences and the understanding or misunderstanding that he has gained in his soul, not only from this life but from all lives lived before this one." The spiritual 'journey' results with "recording on your pages of life, in your divine soul, the action/reaction that creates manifested matter, manifested destiny, manifested reality." One will recognize that initiation has occurred upon perceptions of social consciousness altering while accepting that there is an omnipresent life force conducive to positive accomplishments and this consistent awareness affects one's decisions. This Source of All Being is reflected in all blessings and creativity.

The two 'channeled entities' quoted in the preceding paragraphs have similar circumstances. 'Ramtha' has said he lived 35,000 years ago on the continent of Lemuria and became a conqueror during the pilgrimage into Atlantis. (example article) 'Yada' has been quoted: "I lived 500,000 years ago in the Himalaya mountains in a civilization called Yuga, meaning vast body." (example article)

At left is the portrait of Yada made by his channeler Mark Probert (1907-1969) and at right is art showing 'Ramtha,' the contemporary channeled entity who speaks during trance intervals through JZ Knight.

Evidently I too have in common with Ramtha and Yada myself having lived a preceding life during ancient times.

If Jewish people are expecting a "a human, non-divine leader descended from King David" than it seems logical for me to conclude that this humble blogger is that very same "non-divine" person. My ancestry has been a topic of blog articles and my paternal lineage has been established as belonging to the "first race of ancestry" (as shown below).

Upon beginning to write this article on Friday, March 13, I was continuing to update my series of articles presenting hundreds of thought-provoking X.com Iran War posts, videos and images. (1, 2)

Two days after I published the article "Thus Sayeth The Illuminati — Data Herein Will Alter Mainstream Media-Indoctrinated Readers' Perceptions Of Life", I experienced a memorable dream. For some time, I've been aware that there are aspects of dreams that orient me to the inclusion of an idea or thought in one of my blog articles. Yesterday, I'd read a silly and superstitious post at X regarding the topic of 'possession' (the subject of an ongoing blog series of articles) and this became a part of a surreal dream that I've previously described as being 'hodgepodge' dreamstate experiences wherein an array of memories and impressions are experienced in a reinvented way. A female individual similar to the person was interacting with a man and they were both in office cubicles and then the scene changed to a setting that combined elements of the local Los Angeles bookstore The Bodhi Tree and the local nitery The Comedy Club. The female began interacting with the male in an animalistic way and there was a voice heard to say "WHAT A FREAK! WHAT A FREAK! WHAT A FREAK!" I awoke and concentrated upon comprehending what was this voice in the dream. It was completely evident that there'd been experienced in my 'dream' a 'voice hearing' moment that was similar to what I refer to as the 'externalized' voices phenomena to which I've already become accustomed, as detailed in previous blog articles (example article).

The dreamstate interlude leads me to remind readers that 'dreams' are psychic experiences.

The following evening, there was another 'dream' more memorable than usual and I was compelled to make a note about it. It was the type of dreamstate experience that I've called a 'hodgepodge' dream in the past. In this one, I interacted with an assortment of people with whom I'd interacted previously during various periods of my life. I was involved in a project that necessitated myself calling via telephone friends to see if they were interested in becoming involved. A key person was known only to be available later on yet I called him anyway. As I began talking to him, the telephone line went dead and then I awoke and began contemplating the meaning.

I decided that in comparison to the dream of the preceding night, in this one I wasn't consciously thinking in an interactive way while incidents progressed as I had been in that other one. The lesson here is that it is the 'Dreammaker' who determines how conscious is an experiencer while being in the dreamstate.

While I've been having dreams every night, only a few have I taken a moment to make a note about them so that I could recall them later. On Friday March 6 around midnight, I experienced a hodgepodge dream that featured the Paramount studio executive whom had hired me to become a publicist. I worked closely with Diana and later was promoted to be a Senior Publicist prior to myself next making the transition to being an independent contractor after a mass corporate layoff. In some parallel reality during the progression of circumstances in this 'dream,' Diana had to leave the company (as she did at the time of the layoff) yet this time there was no factor of illness incapacitating her. I wasn't thinking in an interactive way during this dream yet helplessly experienced the concluding thought form (expressing an observation that didn't come from my mentality) And you didn't do anything wrong. The entire sequence seems to remind me of the hapless things that can occur in a corporate employment position.

Last Sunday I was startled after in the early morning having experienced a 'dream' about the subject of the 'Bel John' series of articles. In this dreamstate situation, his 'Mother' (who appeared nothing like his actual sweet and conscientious mother who has appeared on his livestreams) was a monstrous 'Tiamat' figure who suddenly dropped dead. Upon awaking, this seemed to indicate a symbol of impediments being eliminated. The following is what Grok 4 instructs about Tiamat.

Tiamat is a primordial goddess in ancient Mesopotamian mythology, particularly in Babylonian traditions, where she personifies the saltwater sea and the chaotic forces of creation. (britannica.com) She is often depicted as a massive sea serpent or dragon, embodying both nurturing and destructive aspects of the primordial ocean. (youtube.com) Her name derives from the Akkadian word for "sea," and she plays a central role in the Babylonian creation epic known as the Enuma Elish. (oracc.museum.upenn.edu)

Role in the Creation Myth

In the Enuma Elish, Tiamat exists at the beginning of time alongside Apsu (or Abzu), the god representing fresh water beneath the earth. Together, they represent the mingling of salt and fresh waters that gives birth to the first gods. Their union produces Lahmu and Lahamu, a pair of deities who then beget Anshar and Kishar, leading to further generations of gods, including Ea (Enki) and eventually Marduk. (oracc.museum, upenn.edu, britannica.com) Initially, Tiamat is portrayed as a maternal figure, fostering creation through this primordial union. (ancient-origins.net)

However, conflict arises as the younger gods become noisy and disruptive, disturbing the rest of Apsu and Tiamat. Apsu plots to destroy them, but Tiamat initially opposes this, trying to maintain peace. Despite her efforts, Ea slays Apsu to protect the younger gods. Enraged by her consort's death, Tiamat transforms into an antagonist, embodying chaos. She creates an army of 11 monsters, appoints her new consort Qingu as their leader, and wages war against the gods. (oracc.museum.upenn.edu, britannica.com)

Marduk, the storm god and patron of Babylon, volunteers to confront her. Armed with weapons like the "Evil Wind," he defeats Tiamat in battle, splitting her body in two. From her halved form, he creates the heavens and the earth: the upper half becomes the sky, the lower half the land. Rivers like the Tigris and Euphrates flow from her eyes, mountains from her breasts, and other natural features from her remains. (oracc.museum.upenn.edu, dragons.fandom.com) This act symbolizes the triumph of order over chaos, a common theme in ancient Near Eastern myths.

Depictions and Symbolism

Tiamat's form is fluid in the myths—described as a body of water, a human-like figure, or a serpentine dragon with a tail, wings, and sometimes multiple heads.
(youtube.com, dragons.fandom.com) Ancient artworks often show her in monstrous, draconic battles against gods like Marduk. (reddit.com)

ultimatepopculture.fandom.com

As a symbol of the untamed sea, she represents the necessary but dangerous forces of nature, essential for life yet capable of destruction. (reddit.com)

Legacy

Beyond ancient texts, Tiamat's influence persists in modern culture, inspiring dragon figures in fantasy, such as in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, where she appears as a multi-headed dragon goddess.
(britannica.com) Her story reflects broader mythological motifs of chaos monsters slain by hero-gods to establish cosmic order, similar to battles in other traditions like the Greek Typhon or Norse Jörmungandr.

Lady Gaga became a contemporary channel of 'Tiamat' for her music video "Born This Way." (article)

After dreaming again on Friday night-Saturday morning (March 13-14), my final dream was a momentary interlude that is all I'm able to remember waking. I was driving in a car and saw a strange Los Angeles-style entertainment museum. The name of it was seen to be: Frankenstein Administration.

This representation of my dream by Grok incorporates my noticed correlation between current events and the dream. (Grok also supplied the other art used in this article.)

Now traditional commercial entertainment pastimes are resulting with a worldwide populace of what may be described as 'entertainment consumers' rather than people committed to intellectual and spiritual self-development.

To address some of the points made in a previous article, the activity of someone engaging in watching a movie or other entertainment is also a self-determined form of mental involvement (or passive state of relaxation for some people if one isn't taking an analytical approach to the pastime as I've always done since being a movie reviewer in high school). A conclusion that resulted from my having stopped going to the movies in 1996—following the cessation of my watching television the previous year—was that there can be ugly thoughts and depressing perspectives expressed within commercial entertainment or 'art-house' offerings, sometimes in a subtle way yet still with a noticeably disturbing effect.

As are dreams, conscious creativity is an aspect of psychic phenomena. I again remind about something reminded in another recent blog article mentioned —

Evidently what scientists and cosmology commentators working in commercial bureaucracies have yet to place in context is something that during recent years has been a source of commentary at this blog — the evidence that each human being is continuously interacting with positive (good) and negative (bad) polarities in relation to one's thoughts and the actions consequentially chosen by oneself to make happen in the world. These polarities also are influencing each person's creativity. Every choice that a human being makes in life is contributing to the scope of experiences that will determine one's state of being during the eternal afterlife, where "Here nothing is hidden". Another word indicative of this predicament involving choices is 'karma.'

good bad
God Devil

Yada: "The body is a kind of electric-magnetic field and it can be changed from a positive to a negative and back and forth by the way it is played upon by outer forces." (lecture entitled "You Are Your Own Destiny" date unknown) ['Yada' through Mark Probert is also quoted to have said during a Nov. 18,1968 lecture: "The ancients knew that the Gods were two-sided — that's why they brought them gifts"] (article)

. . . 'channeled entities' have offered instruction about the dual positive / good and negative / bad polarities. 'Dr. Peebles' through William Rainen is quoted: "this consciousness of the eternal God is of negative and positive polarity." 'Silver Birch' said through Maurice Barbanell: "Good and evil are opposite sides of the same coin. So are love and hate, light and dark, storm and peace. This is a polarity." 'Ramtha' speaking through JZ Knight has said: ". . . if you are looking for knowledge, you must transcend the limited specter of social consciousness" and "If there is evil then there is good. Evil cannot exist without the polarity of good." Contactee Arthur Shuttlewood reported about instruction given to him by people from Aenstria: "There is a continual warring between positive and negative forces, I was told. On principles of polarity, just as there is good and evil at work on Earth, so there are forces of Darkness and Light among [some potentially encountered] UFO-denizens." (article)

Judith M. Tyberg wrote in her book about "Sanskrit Keys To India's Wisdom" The Language of the Gods (1970): "The Universe is divided into seven great planes or worlds of beings, each of which is bi-polarized into Lokas and Talas. These pairs of Lokas and Talas are as inseparable as two sides of a coin. The Lokas represent the heavens, the vast places of light and becoming. The Talas represent the nether poles, the inferior dark places that lead to separateness and annihilation of being."

A 2023 blog series of articles reports about what is a part of each individual human mentality — one's innate, Divine 'I AM Presence' that is eternally interacting with every one of us. (article) Therefore, while one engages in 'entertainment' there is 'psychic' activity as a succession of thoughts and emotions come into one's mind and induces reactions. Some previous perspectives from previous articles are shared once again in the following sentences.

Having been an aspiring screenwriter and cinema major at USC during my youth, I'd studied the history of mass media and philosophies related to individual artistic expression. Today it is clear that movies, TV shows, songs, rap music, books, computer games, etc., are not as much creations of individual artists or creative people (or any supposed 'auteur') as they are the psychic distillations of the shared Cosmic Mind manifesting the psychology of the units engaging in that particular endeavor ― at times with lessons being depicted in ways that will be recognized by someone cognizant of these conditions. Something else to notice is whatever the medium that is the source for the recording of video and audio, something to consider is what is affixing the image and sound to each source. (article)

The essential inspiration leading to all forms of narrative entertainment is to orient people to behave in an emotionally honest and rational way with living in harmony the goal. Even travesty and ignominy may be aspects of an entertainment experience. (article)

As consistent readers of this blog may be aware, it is only during the most recent years that I've realized how regrettable and psychically damaging is the pastime of devoting one's attention to inconsequential, essentially useless movies, TV shows, computer games, etc. Now in my older years, it is disturbing when some inane movie or TV show content or Pop song lyrics experienced during my youth suddenly come into my mind. This can happen to someone at any moment. While growing up, TV commercials for products were made to be ridiculous and therefore as memorable as possible to engender name brand recognition. The awareness of this plight is ameliorated to a certain extent by myself having stopped watching TV shows and narrative movies upon becoming a metaphysical author in 1997. (example article)

People today who engage in entertainment pastimes don't seem to be aware that any horrors and disturbances allowed into oneself's consciousness (such as the computer game image shown above) will always be part of your experienced activities and aspects of them may return at any time as a memory; therefore, choose these involvements carefully and consider reading the articles at this blog so that the achievement of knowledge and wisdom is your goal. (article)

A previous blog article relating to dreamstate experiences is "Dream Analysis and Pop Culture Correlations". When considering my dream last night and hearing the voice repeating the two word phrase, there are correlations between 'paranormal' voice hearing interactions and creativity techniques involving an omniscient perspective, with one example being the Greek chorus.

This song seems to be a particularly apt example showing how song lyrics may be considered deus ex machina as Divine Mind being expressed through one of more individual components of 'All That Is'; instances of audible voice hearing phenomena (expressing unseen personalities) present another approach to revealing the nature of universal omnipresent spiritual Oneness.

The movie "The Graduate" features the Pop song "Mrs. Robinson" performed and composed by Simon & Garfunkel. All works of conscious creativity are an association between omnipresent Mind and individual minds, each a unit / iota / splinter / personality of 'All That Is' / 'The God Force' / 'The Only One' (terms reported in previous blog articles).

This blogger experienced another 'hodgepodge dream' prior to waking on Monday (March 16). Having been reading about the war in the Middle East, this dreamstate experience was set in a familiar high school setting. The concluding sequence involved a crazed man who was being taken to the office of the school nurse yet I watched as he suddenly fell down through an open vent in the ground. Then flames could be rising up through the vent. I ran and tried to activate an emergency alarm on a wall yet it was broken. I watched as a frantic woman then ran into a classroom to press an emergency alarm located there. During the concluding moments, there was a realization that this emergency was taking place on the northeast part of the campus.

This period of vivid dreams is continuing. Early Tuesday morning there was an interlude with a friend from the past named Sharon and then this morning (after midnight and before 1 a.m.) upon waking I made a note about the interlude.

I dreamed that I went through a succession of efforts to build an exciting new Disneyland ride [a place not considered by myself 'the happiest place on Earth,' to say the least although my twin brother worked for the Walt Disney Studio between 1978 and 1987]. Upon waking up, I considered the improbable situation of commercial aspects to the articles at this blog. And what about my 'mysterious collection' of antiques that I've long been hoping to place with some esteemed museum? (article)

Then, before awaking this morning there was a dream before 5 a.m. where I was working as a staff member for President Trump at the White House apparently prior to his current war footing that seems a completely insane choice to me. My current activity involved a supply of plastic water containers being preserved for the President. I mentioned Trump in my article "This Is the Main Reason for the Suppression of UFO / UAP / Space People Documentation and Here's My Letter That I've Sent to President Trump".

If Jewish people would like me to be their "human, non-divine leader" who has a shared ancestry with Jesus and Moses (as EVP messages once seemed to affirm in relation to myself) they certainly should be content with myself as they have 800+ illuminating nonfiction blog articles to bring them expansion of consciousness in relation to metaphysical, spiritual and cosmological aspects of life.

One of the many people who participated in the events chronicled in a documentary style in my case study book Testament (1997) is Jonathan Handel, who happened to be my attorney (and whom is Jewish) while publishing the book. At one point while continuing to interview people in Los Angeles after returning home from my 'talking poltergeist' research expedition in Oklahoma, I lamented: "My book is becoming a tell-all book about Hollywood" because interview participants were continuously confiding about the 'gay' relationships of celebrities who at that time most people weren't aware of the circumstances. Because my unseen "personal 'guide/s in Oneness'/'Guardian Angel' as representing 'The God Force' ('Michael' or 'M') manifesting continuously around me in diverse and unlimited ways" had made known that I should never omit any transcript materials from the book, it seemed ironic that there were so many moments of what was then known as "outing." Many of my radio interview transcripts are included in Testament: Radio Interview Transcripts.

Only longtime readers of this blogger are probably aware of the many unusual synchronicities that have been documented in my life. Example blog articles include "Adventures in Synchronicity", "Some Reflections about Synchronicity and My Life as a Metaphysical Author", "Reflections and Images - Deciphering Angelic Initiation", and "Overcoming Silence and Entertainment Trance Will Allow the Joyful New Age to Unfold". I'll conclude this reflective article with an example passage from one of these articles.

Concerning the Russell coat of arms, the symbols in Christianity of scallops/shells were often associated with a pilgrimage and the lion with royalty. On the Internet, I've noticed that some depictions of the Russell family crest feature a different French motto, that of "Che sara sara"/"What will be, will be" — not to be confused with the title of the famous song performed by Doris Day in Alfred Hitchcock's remake of "The Man Who Knew Too Much": "Que Sera, Sera" although in Spanish the meaning is the same. Hitchcock is the movie director associated with intrigue and suspense with a penchant for leaving viewers wondering what will happen next.

My own family tree pedigree charts show ancestors dating back to Jonathan Russell, born in 1759 in Milton, Massachusetts, and Richard Hiscockes, born in 1556 in All Cannings, England. The Hiscockes surname would become Hitchcock with Luke Hitchcock born in 1614.

As those who have read the case study Testament (1997) know, my early career was in the entertainment industry so some of my reflections included synchronicity with the motion picture medium. It was strange realizing that I might have a shared ancestry with film directors Alfred Hitchcock ("Rebecca," "Vertigo") and Ken Russell ("Tommy," "Altered States") — a filmmaker who also showed an affinity for surprising audiences. Or perhaps the correlations with the Hitchcock and Russell surnames is significant enough, regardless of bloodline. Luke Hitchcock's father John Hiscockes was also born in All Cannings in 1586. The name of the town reminded me of the name of the author Victor Canning who wrote the novel The Rainbird Pattern that was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's final movie, "Family Plot." Alfred Hitchcock died at his home in Bel Air in 1980. According to the www.victorcanning.com biography, Canning married Adria Irving-Bell in November 1976. I also remember that one of my professors at the University of Southern California was John Russell Taylor, one of Hitchcock's biographers.

My path in life did intersect with that of the late director Ken Russell at least once as he appeared and introduced a screening at a retrospective at the Los Angeles Director's Guild that I attended. I had tickets to two of his early TV movies "Elgar" (about Edward Elgar) and "Bartok" (about Béla Bartók) at the retrospective.

There have been numerous instances of synchronicity involving the word 'Bell' in my life. Recalling the stage musical "Cats," I remember the climactic ending where the wise cat of many lives known as 'Old Deuteronomy' announced the 'jellicle cat' to be reborn into a new (an-?)'jellicle' life. After delivering the musical's big showstopper song "Memory," it seemed no big surprise when outcast Grizabella, the faded glamour cat, became the chosen one to make the journey to the Heavyside Layer via an ascending tire.

I saw "Cats" during a vacation in London and on another visit to that city saw "Starlight Express" in which Belle the Sleeping Car sings, "Experience is a quality that counts for a lot." To cite a prominent instance of the Bell synchronicity in movies, I'd seen both the 1946 French film directed by Jean Cocteau "La Belle et la Bête" as well as the 1991 Disney animated movie "Beauty and the Beast." Belle was also the name of the protagonist in this latter version of the fairy tale with the title song being first performed by the character Mrs. Potts (voice of Angela Lansbury). Synchronistically, 'Pots' is a significant word in both the Bell Witch and Gef 'talking poltergeist' cases.

There was another synchronistic London theatre-going experience. Many years later, I found a play programme reminding me that during a London vacation I'd seen a 1989 Barbican production of "The Tempest" where a winged Ariel was played by Duncan Bell!

Several incidents to consider when contemplating synchronicity were described in the case study Testament. I often mentioned these events in my radio interviews following the publication of the book. First, one of the most astonishing vocal manifestations was chronicled by Richard Williams Bell in Our Family Trouble.

The company was treated one night to a repetition of one of Rev. James Gunn's best sermons, preached in the vicinity, the witch personating Mr. Gunn, lining the hymn, quoting his text and prayer, and preaching so much like Mr. Gunn that it appeared the minister himself was present. A number of persons were present who attended the meeting that day, and recognized the declamation as the same sermon. Shortly after this, Rev. James Gunn preached on Sunday at Bethel Methodist Church, six miles southeast, and Rev. Sugg Fort filled his appointment at Drake's Pond Baptist Church, seven miles northwest, thirteen miles apart, both preaching at the same hour, eleven o'clock. It so happened that both ministers came to visit our family that evening, finding quite a crowd of people gathered in, as was the case every day during the excitement. Directly after supper the witch commenced talking as usual, directing the conversation to Brother Gunn, discussing some points in his sermon that day. Mr. Gunn asked the witch how it knew what he had preached about? The answer was, "I was present and heard you." This statement being questioned, the vociferator begun, quoted the text and repeated the sermon verbatim, and the closing prayer, all of which the preacher said was correct. Some one suggested that Brother Fort had the advantage of the witch this time, that having attended Brother Gunn's service, it could tell nothing about Brother Fort's discourse at Drake's Pond. "Yes I can," was the prompt reply. How do you know? was the inquiry. "I was there and heard him." Then assimilating Rev. Fort's style, it proceeded to quote his text and repeated his sermon, greatly delighting the company. There was no one present who had heard either sermon, but both ministers admitted that their sermons had been accurately reproduced, and no one could doubt the fact, or were more greatly surprised than themselves.

Secondly, in Oklahoma when I interviewed the family experiencing a contemporary 'talking poltergeist' case, Twyla told me: "Sue was supposed to come get Brenda one night. I went to bed and I heard Sue come in and say, 'Brenda, I'm sorry I was late. I had a flat tire. Steve had to change it.' So I thought Brenda had left. I come back in here an hour, thirty minutes later to get some — I said, 'Didn't Sue come get you?' She said, 'No, she's late.' I said, 'Brenda, I just heard her come in and say she had a flat.' Ten minutes later, she got here. She'd had a flat and was apologizing. It was like the house recorded the whole conversation. It was playing it before it happened."

Thirdly, after returning to Los Angeles from the Oklahoma trip I began transcribing the interview tapes. One night after working for several hours transcribing, I decided to take a break and watch TV for a few minutes. I decided to watch "The Real World" on MTV. I'd seen the previous episodes of this documentary-style series that brought together a group of youths as roommates. The 1995 episodes had been filmed in London. I started to watch and at that exact moment one of the roommates was complaining that their telephone had suddenly stopped functioning and he commented about how frustrating he found the situation. As I remembered an incident Twyla had told me about where the battery of the video camera went dead just before the paranormal occurrence of a rock striking a car, I realized that Michael could affect technology. Then my TV set went off without my touching the remote control. I thought that Michael had made Himself clear that He didn't want me watching television. He apparently wanted me to work on the case study of my recent experiences so that I could share the education process implemented for me so that others might benefit from the course of my research.

While writing this article about synchronicity over the course of this last week, I realized that individual posts of this blog should become more comprehensible for readers in relation to the extent of their familiarity with previous blog posts. One previous statement I made about synchronicity was included in a 2007 news release although I'm not sure I would articulate my perspective in precisely the same way today:

My experiences and research have shown me that all living things are continuously interacting with an intermediary Superconsciousness or Spiritual Force that may be recognized through circumstances often described as coincidences and synchronicity, intuition and telepathy, prophetic dreams and visions, mediumship and trance channeling, healing, as well as events associated with such expressions as 'hauntings,' 'talking poltergeists' and 'electronic voice phenomena.' This predicament might be articulated as all living things having a shared Subconscious Mind and 'Thought Conductor.' Such expressions as 'Oneness' and 'Christ Consciousness' are also useful.

Many more unexpected incidents that made me contemplate synchronicity are described in Testament. For example, I began an impromptu interview with an antique store owner and discovered he'd played all the alien monsters in the original "Outer Limits" television series.

Duncan Bell played Ariel in a 1989 London Barbican production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest." (article)

Concerning the evidence available at this blog concerning the 'Messiah' and / or 'Moshiach,' a proverb (transcendentally communicated) is "For as far as you shall look, that is as near as you shall come." (article)

Some Alfred Hitchcock and Ken Russell movie posters are shown. Below, two of the movies I helped promote as a publicity writer offer proverbs: "My mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get'"; "Stupid is as stupid does"; and "Every man dies, not every man truly lives."

The message of this blogger / moshiach as a surrogate / 'everyman' for others is that each human being must become one's own 'Jesus' / 'Buddha' as no other entity's consciousness will ever take precedence in one's individual personal relationship with God.
