"The zodiac was divided into 12 astrological signs, each occupying 1/12 (or 30°) of its great circle, by the Babylonians about 500 BCE." (Britannica article) An astrologer criticized the famous Michel in 1558 (as documented in translated extracts of a Declaration by Laurent Videl in Appendix F of the 2003 book The Unknown Nostradamus by Peter Lemesurier):
. . . a young gentleman recounted to me that, while passing through Salon with one other, they went to call on you, in the hope that you would do the birth-chart for one of them. And you, being busy with your studies, opened your ephemerides and tried to do the birth-chart simply from where they lay open, even though that was neither the year of birth nor the year of the interrogation . . .
Nostradamus biographer Peter Lemesurier noticed what he described as "the positively kaleidoscopic nature of the whole work." The communicating All That Is knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen due to the very Nature of All That Is; therefore it is the emotions of the countless individual units of consciousness and their feelings that nurture the eternal progression of all thinking organisms that altogether are One — yet this One has an Intelligence beyond the sum total of all iotas / units / personalities (as can be recognized when one studies the correlations between all documented transcendental communication case chronologies, as this blogger has done while presenting the 800+ articles at this blog). Here it is in 2026 and with the data presented in the foregoing paragraphs I recognize an observable correlation to —
Century I, Quatrain 81 (English translation)
Of human flock nine will be set apart
Of judgement & advice separated:
Their fate will be decided from the start
20, 9, 30 dead, banished, lost.
. . . Certainly, the vast majority of contemporary people continue to be deprived of all that can be learned through studying the lives of the 'paranormal people' who lived during past epochs (now 'dead') with the data about all of them pervasively 'banished' and / or 'lost' throughout the mainstream of society although profiled in detail among the 820 articles available at this blog (including this one). Some of the people who've lived in the past again communicate as representatives of the ascended realm of life as 'channeled entities,' continuing a tradition known to have taken place in the past when they were known by such terms as 'shaman' and 'oracle.'

Because of the circumstances of search engine algorithms favoring denialist and mystification perspectives related to 'paranormal' case chronologies documentation (as mentioned in the preceding article), since 2024 this blogger has found distributing promotional posts at X as a successful way to inform people about these 800+ articles at this blog enabling people to advance their knowledge of metaphysical, 'paranormal,' spiritual and cosmological aspects of life — the data makes plain that commercial media pervasively has been excluding the evidence being shared throughout these noncommercial articles.
Another important teaching of myself remains that fictional movie and television show viewing along with computer game playing are not meaningful life experiences and as juvenile minds gain enlightenment and maturity, there must someday come the reckoning of realizing the past foolishness of wasting one's time on trivialities and fictitious entertainment activities when one could've been using the time more productively, especially in relation to expanding one's understanding of the meaning and purposes of an Earth life in relation to the eternal life progression of each individual 'personality' or alter-ego of 'All That Is' / 'The God Force' / the amassing of Higher Selves existing in a multiverse of spiritual Oneness. The human dreamstate is where people commonly experience life beyond the physical in the multiverse.
I'm never upset when people who don't bother to read blog articles choose to criticize or demean myself because I'm aware that they have no idea that a human being's life experience can be so different from what they, themselves, are accustomed to experiencing and considering. My own life evidently has been quite comparable to these other people's experiences until I reached the age of 39 and upon completing a nonfiction book manuscript reporting about 'talking poltergeist' case chronologies throughout history engaged in a research expedition to interview a contemporary family experiencing the phenomena in rural Oklahoma. (example article)
After writing these 800+ blog articles to-date, it is easy to understand that many worldly dilemmas and debacles result from an incorrect understanding of the universal omnipresent 'God' interacting with each thinking organism as one's personal 'I AM Presence' and conscience. As an example, consider all that has been so needlessly been taking place throughout the Middle East.

During an Earth life, one should engage in self-development so that one's mind can become spiritually, morally and cosmologically aware so that thoughts and words express a pure and transparent mentality. John has a natural tendency to be emotionally transparent yet intellectually he remains trapped in social consciousness orientations absorbed through social media interactions and entertainment programming such as TV shows, movies and computer games. I've made available to John articles that will enable him to gain the knowledge that he is part of an omnipresent Oneness.

The difficulties with a culture where carnal indulgences and sexual innuendo are continuously promulgated to American entertainment consumers include the fact that the wise aren't allowed to explain about what is really desired by a human being is true honesty and intimacy, love and understanding from the selected friend or spouse. During that awful occasion when one may be confronted with evidence that one's most dearly loved is engaging in sex with someone else, this isn't a defeating betrayal — it is a lesson to consider finding a different path on the journey to higher consciousness. Yada reminded during a 1966 lecture: "I come only to teach truth. I come not to amaze you. I come not to take from you which you should not give. Give, that which you will, for it is you who is doing the giving. You know your own prize. Everything has a prize upon it."

Individual people functioning within a national or corporate bureaucracy don't yet have access to all of the data necessary for someone to develop full and knowledgeable perspective of UFOs / UAP / space people and multiple universes because anybody who acquires this understanding would recognize the immorality and personal consequences of not sharing honestly and openly what has been discovered.

Kathryn Kuhlman
was the Christian woman in whose presence thousands of people offered testimonials of having experienced sudden 'miraculous' healings from the Holy Spirit. Numerous healings had occurred just minutes before the men and women joined Kathryn onstage. Although Kathryn was a figure who achieved some prominence in the mainstream media during her lifetime, in 2019 Kathryn's amazing life and career seem mostly forgotten. Publisher of the 1999 Commemorative Edition of Daughter of Destiny, Lloyd B. Hildebrand in a Preface reminded that Kathryn Kuhlman had found it difficult to express her predicament: "She realized that her calling was not based upon her own abilities but, as she liked to say, 'God chooses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.'" Her directions to the author were simple: "Tell it all, Jamie; tell it all!" This article presents excerpts from Daughter of Destiny.

There are many scientists and social scientists who consider themselves intelligent or perhaps even brilliant yet they've never researched in-depth extant written records chronicling aspects of society involving demonology and witchcraft from past centuries before the vast changes wrought by technological wonders and innovations. What is read throughout these records can only seem practically unthinkable in
comparison with what is commonly estimated as being among the occurrences that are possible or even conceivable in relation to all that takes place in the world today. The record of this blogger's 'paranormal initiation' in the case study Testament (1997) is indicative about how oneself always maintaining an open mind concerning what happenings are possible to occur and one should always be ready to change one's opinion, as I did myself so radically in 2022 when an entirely unexpected 'new initiation' commenced.

Other articles at this blog have reminded that — One of the influences leading to entertainment dominating people's activity is the rejection of the Divine Dispensations made discernible through a variety of paranormal phenomena manifested throughout the world during the epoch of Spiritualism . . . As innate human creativity became exalted in the popular culture—also an aspect of the interaction with shared 'Universal Source' / 'All 'That Is' / 'spiritual Oneness' on a more subtle level than with 'trance mediumship' / 'channeling'—people became enthralled with movies, television shows, plays, novels, computer games, sports and the music industry . . . Due to the ignorance among human consciousness units on Earth, the shared Superconscious Mind therefore must give lessons in oblique ways through contemporary entertainment media. This blogger has noticed that one of these processes is viewers witnessing ever-more-grotesque melodramas that may eventually encourage them to seek more fulfilling activities in harmony with the 'Higher Self.'

A passage from The Astral City (English translation of Nosso Lar 1944)
'Automatic writing' is the form of transcendental communication that resulted with 400+ metaphysically and cosmologically revealing books by Francisco Cândido 'Chico' Xavier being published during his lifetime. The account begins with a description of a transition from Earth life to the 'lower realms' of a spiritual dimension or 'sphere' of existence.
Now that my life was over I was like a hothouse plant, unable to withstand the weather of eternal realities. I had not cultivated the divine seeds the Father of Life had sown in my soul. They were choked by the weeds of my insatiable desire for comfort and enjoyment. I had not trained my faculties for this new life. It was only right, then, that I should enter it like a cripple, thrown into the infinite river of eternity, unable to swim, or like a wretched beggar at the end of his strength, wandering about in the middle of a stormy desert.
Oh, dear friends on Earth! How many of you may still avoid the bitter road of sorrow by cultivating the inner fields of your heart. Light up your lamp before crossing the threshold of the shadows. Search for Truth, lest the truth find you unprepared. Sweat and toil now, lest you weep afterwards. (article)

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.

The world might be different today if journalists had reported about the publication of my case study book Testament in 1997 along thereafter with the hundreds of articles about transcendental communication cases / 'Divine Dispensations' available at this blog. (article)
After the good news shared in Testament was pervasively ignored or suppressed for 25 years, on the last day of April 2022 transcendental communication made known what became comprehended as signifying that a transition was completed to a new phase of Earth life — continuing each day is the 'Devil Phase' of Earth life due to a 'polarity' reversal that has led to a 'God Alter-Ego' or 'altered Ego' due to the state of mass consciousness on the earthly plane of existence. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) Ever since then, there has been no clear sign that anything is happening across the world to diminish the present devastating conditions that will impact conditions in each human being's afterlife. How poignant it is that people in all walks of life are subject to the same world events as everyone else although they may never know about the lives of people such as myself. I personally feel so oppressed by the conditions of the present phase that it is often difficult to concentrate on selecting subjects for new blog articles after the many hundreds available continue to receive such an apathetic reaction in relation to word-of-mouth given to the evidence and 'proof.'

The pivotal UFOlogy case history that is associated with the town of Warminster and local journalist Arthur Shuttlewood commenced on Christmas Day 1964 with details first reported in articles of The Warminster Journal and six later nonfiction books published in England. Shuttlewood's final case study book was published in 1979. He was skeptical about the possibility of space people encounters until he personally witnessed what he considered to be undeniable evidence of himself having become a focus for direct contact, as chronicled in Warnings from Flying Friends (1968).
The gamut of data in Shuttlewood's books continues to be ignored or suppressed throughout the mainstream news media; nor is consideration given to the documentation shared by the few other contactees whose cases were extensively documented by themselves so that they may be discerned as authentic: Orfeo Angelucci, Truman Bethurum and Daniel Fry (whose lives are subjects of previous blog articles). How revealing it is that following each of these men's consciousness expanding experiences, from then on during their lifetime each lived in accordance with all that had been instructed to them about universal spiritual
laws and cosmology. Most Pageviews #7

The observational report that is presented verbatim and in the entirety herein was published in what now may be recognized as a pivotal issue of the magazines edited by Ray Palmer, about whom many contemporary commentators have an incomplete and presumptive understanding (to say the least). Some of Palmer's statements are included in this article and will make his intellect comprehensible for readers interested in subjects such as UFOlogy and trance channeling.
Something Beyond Top Secret is magazine editor Ray Palmer's enormous contribution to the annals of UFOs / UAP / flying saucers / contactees. Palmer has been ignored, minimalized or overlooked by people who are either ignorant or desire to suppress information about these subjects when data doesn't conform
with 'military thinking' and commercial mystification orientations. Any collection of facts won't necessarily bring oneself knowledge or wisdom; contemplating the meaning of facts with an open mind is what brings knowledge and wisdom.

It isn't a surprise that my Russell family lineage is included in this list. A previous blog article of mine is "This Is the Essential Insight for Considering Oneself to Be a True 'Illuminati" at https://metaphysicalarticles.org/2024/06/this-is-essential-insight-for.html. The Russell lineage can be traced back to Olaf the Sharp-eyed, King of Rerik (as shown below). My opinion concerning the term 'Illuminati' is that when one considers the military indoctrination now traditionalized governmentally along with the oppressions of the corporate mentality now negatively effecting social conditions throughout the world, there don't seem to be many 'Illuminati' today serving in clandestine ways through some esoteric secret society having the goal of morally advancing humanity. In my case, I've been documenting my metaphysically illuminating experiences since the nonfiction case study book Testament was published in 1997 with a free Internet edition available at https://testament.org.

It is evident that the 800+ noncommercial articles at this blog altogether have been sharing the instruction of 'The Illuminati' for nearly 17 years with little discernible efforts made by others to share these lessons, presumably this is due to 'information conflicting with perceived consensus beliefs engenders expectation of disapproval.' I've witnessed how the regulated agendas of commercial mainstream news and information media are culpable in this predicament and American consumers upon reading the articles may become alienated by the evidentiary data simply because this all doesn't conform with familiar social consciousness orientations of mystification and paranormal fear-mongering that are the result of a corporate culture that most worships the dollar and has materialistically indoctrinated generations of 'consumers' accordingly — of course, this includes the government officials in Washington, D.C.

Some reply posts to this one indicate that there are UFOlogy investigators who didn't bother to read the article due to their commercial news and information media indoctrination. As far as these brainwashed consumers of corporate America are concerned, in order for something to be relevant what is learned must reflect what conforms with what is approved for relevancy among mainstream news and information media reflecting what is authorized for public mass mind among the elite officials and executives identifying with the power structure traditionally referred to as a military industrial corporate complex. As always — "For as far as you shall look, that is as near as you shall come." (article)

As mentioned in an article — It should be made clear that anybody who isn't able to accept the 'proof' delineated in this article should consider that if this evidence isn't acceptable for some logic being used that is counter to the irrefutable reasons identified, then there isn't any evidence possible that could be construed as being beyond questioning when one considers how instances of extraterrestrial or transcendental communication could potentially be orchestrated through human fabrication or distortion by individuals in social bureaucracies with precise military-industrial agendas, themselves unable to have access to information making possible metaphysical, spiritual and cosmological understanding. This predicament is apparently the reason for the complexity of the documented occurrences providing 'bombshell physical proof' that encompass aspects completely unknown to space people contact experiencer Truman Bethurum, himself.

The many meaningful and detailed facts in this article require some reflection in order for the reader to fully comprehend the significance of the diverse data, evidence and veritable 'proof' being shared. The
data encompasses extraterrestrial visitation experiencers Truman Bethurum, Jeff Greenhaw and Arthur Shuttlewood, among others.
Truman Bethurum was among the earliest 'flying saucer contactees' whose books were read by the public during the 1950s and among this group his contacts were chronologically the first to begin. The initial article to identify the photographed and explained-in-detail physical proof of space people given to Truman Bethurum (1898-1969) during his contactee experiences is "The Letters from Aboard a Flying Saucer" published at this blog in March 2012. The incident is reported in the 1954 case study book Aboard a Flying Saucer. When one comprehends the significance of the two letters again being shown in this article—one in Chinese and the other in French—bestowed upon Truman Bethurum while he was aboard a flying saucer, it is undeniable how these simple objects discreetly bring essential insights into the nature of UFOS / UAP and visitations on Earth by humanity from extraterrestrial / extradimensional realms of existence. Truman himself was unable to place in context the 'bombshell physical proof' he was provided in relation to the other cases of 'paranormal' transcendental communication that are identified in this article.

As a metaphysical author who comprehends the immense importance of enabling others to expand their knowledge of momentous aspects of life, at the age of 69 my hope is that others will take up this divine task.
Among the 20 most-read articles are three in 'The Paranormal Initiation of Bel John As Everyman' series. John has served as an everyman / surrogate for all contemporary people while this blogger has encouraged the 'content creator' to produce a potential video series devoted to 'Investigating Paranormal Phenomena.' This 17th Year Anniversary Article is dedicated to Bel John.
So far no interest in this project has been expressed by John although the enterprise would be a far more sophisticated and praiseworthy one than John's current, sadly juvenile practices. After all, John could also receive the usual share of advertising commissions with more adult videos that would be of interest to a far more diverse audience. One can only wonder if John will be able to overcome the 'dumbing down' of the commercial popular culture and realize how momentous it is to expand one's understanding about how to best lead a fulfilling life with the recognition that manifesting love to all others in ennobling ways will provide the solid path to earthly self-fulfillment.
In one article this blogger mentions — Throughout eternity, every old master must not deter from making certain the younger surrogate doesn't lose his way from the pathway of Light when the opportunity is to be fulfilled. Alas, this 'chosen one' given the honorary title 'Bel John' has continued to experience a commercial entertainment indoctrination so overwhelming (and debilitating) that he hasn't even been willing to discuss the project with myself.
He is developing many strange and unsettling mannerisms, such as what can be observed to take place during a conversation between John and two young women conversing with him on the Umingle 'talk with strangers' platform during one of his nightly livestreams. When one of them recognizes him from his TikTok videos, he frenetically shakes his head in the affirmative as he begins one of his performed 'skits.' She adds, "Yeah, he's about to do some of that crazy s***." As he changes to shaking his head sideways in denial, she adds: "I know it. Yes, you is. You always do." His frantic head shaking continues and reaches a maniacal frenzy. The other young woman remarks, "Oh, don't hurt him now . . ." As John launches some of his jumpscare and trolling video clips, the duo boisterously continue reacting with delight and—when there are jumpscares—gleeful fright. John finally returns to be seen via the webcam and declares: "I'm not going to lie to you. I'm surprised you guys stuck around this long . . . the thing is, like, if we wanted to, I probably could go for three hours with clips. Forever. Just eternity. But you guys have a good night. Bye-bye. I'm going to go now." He 'skips' away (ends) the chat with the duo and addresses his livestream viewers (including many who've been mesmerized while watching him emote for many years): "They had a blast and that was a clip . . . (for one of his future prank content videos)"

(The segment shown may be viewed between 1:14:36 and 1:18:32.)
This blogger expects John's emphatic reactions during his education regarding 'paranormal' subjects would be compelling for everyone and would make possible (as previously mentioned) 'Bel John as avatar can bring new light into viewers' life, changing everyone's life forever through him and they gaining paranormal / metaphysical / spiritual / cosmological understanding.'
John—and everyone else for that matter—should know that there's nothing to fear through talking with me and I urge him to overcome the present naive self-imposed limitations and baseless fears. (One recent blog article presents a podcast interview of myself.) After more than a year of having observed John during interims of his livestreams, I'm able to recognize some of Bel John's peculiar individual mindsets and these circumstances may apply to a great many other young people today.
There is obsessive-compulsive disorder in relation to the constant engaging in computer games. I've previously mentioned — In particular, young people seem less motivated to pursue intellectual development than common during previous generations due to the amount of regulated news, information and 'entertainment' promulgated to them through the commercially motivated popular culture spanning movies, TV shows, computer games, sports, pornography, and so on for 'consumers.' As consistent readers of this blog may be aware, it is only during the most recent years that I've realized how regrettable and time-wasting it has been for myself having engaged in devoting attention to inconsequential, essentially useless movies, TV shows, computer games, and so on.
During a recent livestream, John proudly shared the record of his Runescape gaming. He simultaneously is involved with playing Runescape concurrently while streaming.
Following the brief interaction shown above, John soon mentioned in regard to himself: "The autism is strong here." He also has made known during livestreams that in addition to being seen drinking creatine, he has an addiction to the drug caffeine and engages in occasional mushroom, cannabis and alcohol consumption. I've also recently heard John mention something pivotal to his current content creation quandary: "I've never had a real job either, Chat. I've just been streaming for 11 years."
Myself having worked as a talent agent (1, 2), I interacted with many famous clients who also weren't accustomed to having a 'real job' (although it seems that the majority of actors and actresses—especially novices—have additional occupations or ways of making money in-between roles). The undeniable reality is that for every role there is to be cast, one's competition is so vast that opting to embark upon an acting career is a huge gamble that pays off only for a small percentage of aspiring entertainers. As John is now recognized and appreciated by the "Key Demo" attractive to entertainment producers, as of yet he has no idea about what other opportunities there are to pursue. Myself also having been employed as a public relations / publicity professional (1, 2) during my career, further experiences were gained through interactions with famous thespians and filmmakers so I'm well-suited indeed for interacting with someone with an entertainment industry 'ego.'
John is always hypnotic in his livestream reactions because of his hyper-emotional mentality that usually makes visible his feelings quite starkly. Personally, I've always been attracted to people who have this unusual emotionally honest aspect to their personality. One of the actors from my entertainment career who showed this demeanor was Mickey Rooney.
Now in my 60s, I have a dismal regret for all the time devoted to entertainment media during the first 39 years of my life. I'm trying to help others avoid this eventual miserable realization of the uselessness of 'relaxing' through indulging in entertainment pastimes.
As mentioned in two previous blog articles (1, 2) — The article by Stephanie Vazza "How Giving Up TV For A Month Changed My Brain And My Life" includes commentary from a neurosurgeon who cited adverse effects of watching television while university film studies professor Wheeler Winston Dixon is quoted: "TV increasingly traffics in violent programming to keep the viewer in a state of constant fear. TV also acts as a pacifier, a sort of virtual escape, but it is one that never satisfies, and only leaves the viewer wanting more of the same emptiness." Consider habitual entertainment activities in relation to the concept of the psychological conditions sometimes expressed with the term 'Stockholm Syndrome.'
Meanwhile, mainstream news headlines related to the government and international relations are hopelessly one-sided. During my senior year in high school, I reported in an article the words of Los Angeles District Attorney Joseph P. Busch: "The great measure of a reporter is to be objective. You do form and you do mold public opinion." (article) Currently at X.com the "For you" posts continuously show periods of when news and information topics are presented that don't reflect any connection with interests of personal relevance and include sensationalistic posts chronicling violence, accidents and trivial novelties — the obvious intent here is to increase daily usage among X.com participants, at times suppressing promulgation of data such as the Jeffrey Epstein files. (article) Since the Iran War ceasefire, I've observed posts at X related to government controversies have substantially dwindled.
The following screenshots document a selection of example mainstream news headlines and some current "For you" X posts to provide examples of a contemporary American culture where commercial news and information media exclude evidentiary journalism related to metaphysical and 'paranormal' subjects. The "For You" selection at X now regularly includes truly disturbing scenes of murder and mayhem yet I've not included any of this type among this particular assortment selected as being representational.
