– Selfie of Me at 11:19 pm Last Night. { January 23rd, 2025 –
— Let’s see – I paid a woman on line ten dollars and she told me I entered the Material Universe for the first time in the Orion Sector and then spent a lot of time with the Pleiadians – She had a lot of celebrities listed and where they were before they came to this Earth – Taking everything with lots of grains of salt – But the only person listed as coming from Orion and then the Pliades was Ian Anderson – the guiding force behind the Rock Band Jethro Tull. I could live with that.
— I was six years old when the Brooklyn Dodgers won the 1955 World Series – The next year the Yankees beat them and as far as I’m concerned – there is absolutely nothing good about the Yankees – I call them the ‘New York Nahtzies’ when none of my friends who like them are anywhere they can hear me grumbling – The black and white on the monitor above the other one in the center of this selfie is our ‘Deer Cam’ ‘Security Camera’ – There was a white “Spirit Deer” among them when we first moved into this house in 2013 and our neighbour – Connie Pond – fed them so we kind of joined in and started tossing our four legged friends quite a lot of Whole Oats from the Farm Co-op store about 4 Kilometres from here.
— Dreams? —> I was probably five years old when I dreamed I was at a birthday party with Clarabell the Clown and most of the cast of the Howdy Doody Show – I thought it was my birthday party – and Jesus showed up, asked me if I would go with Him – I told Him my parents told me not to leave the yard { it was my Paternal Grandparents Yard where we had several yard parties every year – } Beginning of summer, July Birthdays – Labor Day – We also had cold weather winter parties inside their house. Jesus didn’t press and after He went away – Well – that left quite an impression on me and I spiritually kicked myself for years about not going with Him – but – when I was 21 years old, with a couple friends – we were at someone’s house who had a guest and the guest asked for volunteers to try a light trance regression – I volunteered – told the guy about that experience and he had me relax and when he was satisfied that I was relaxed enough he asked me to go back to that moment and asked what would have happened if I did go with Jesus – I saw the path through the woods behind my grandparents’ house and at the end the path there was this very white parabolic chute going up into the sky – We concluded that I would have been given a tour of Heaven and maybe a couple more of the Many Mansions I later heard about in Sunday School and other spiritual sources. & Oh – I had recently been ‘Christened’ in the Episcopal Church before I started Kindergarten on my fifth birthday and got my bum spanked in front of a lot of kids I’d never seen before that first day of school.
— That hypnotist also asked if there was anything else I wanted to check out while I was in that state – Well, yeah, —> When I was five years old, I’d already had a rough time getting to sleep when my parents put to bed. One night – I wasn’t quite asleep when I heard a voice ask me, “Do you know who I Am?” I answered, “Yes, you’re my Grandfather.” And he went on to say, “There is someone over here who believes you would make a pretty good writer in this life and if you say yes, some of the details you agreed to when you came into this life will be changed and He says you’ll probably like this path better -” I said, “Yes” and a couple years later thought I’d better get on the stick and start writing – I wrote a story about a dog and a rabbit who were best friends even if everybody told them they were supposed to be enemies – I wasn’t sure where that should go and I don’t believe I ever brought their relationship to any Hollywood movie type heroic conclusion, but when the hypnotist was guiding me back to that moment he asked me to describe the person who was talking to me – I looked around and saw my paternal grandmother’s Father – my great Great Grandfather – one of two I’d known in this life – and he was tall and thin and had his partially nicotine stained moustache, and he was wearing a light blue suit – { I got up and went into my parents’ bedroom and told them I’d just talked to grandpa and they told me I’d been dreaming and told me to go back to bed. I also saw a couple parades of white ghostly spirits floating over my head from the east side of the bedroom – and my sister – who shared that room with me before we were seven and nine years old {I was nine – she was seven ) She said she saw the parade too – we didn’t try to tell our parents – we didn’t want to get yelled at for not already being sound asleep.
— Lucid Dreams? – My first almost lucid dream came when I was asleep in a bed in a rented duplex on Baird Court in Stratford, Connecticut, USA. My father was raking leaves outside the window that was open and had screens in place. I thought each time he raked I was hearing a Frankenstein like monster dragging his feet coming toward me – I was probably six years old – something like that – but then somebody narrated a story about not so friendly beings who sucked the life out of people. In the dream somebody opened a closet door and there was a man wearing a grey suit with marks where someone had used a vacuum cleaner to suck the life out of him. He was dead. And didn’t look too good.
— Other not too comfortable dreams? I was standing in a dead landscape, no vegetation – just dead trees – and the ruins of an abandoned city were in the distance. A bunch of slow moving people were limping toward me – many were missing one leg, some were missing one leg and one arm – and a comforting voice told me, “They cut off their limbs to feed the demons who promised them power-” and I got the distinct impression that it didn’t end well for them – and then I thought the person who told me why they were limping and hobbling along with crutches and not able to move very quickly – got me out of there and told me that we’d been on what was left of the planet Mars.
— Creepy things tried to scare me when I was in my early twenties, Sleeping in my parents’ home when the home I was sharing rent with several friends was degenerating fast – Three of us rented a house on East Broadway in Milford, Connecticut and somebody named Bill Clinton rented the house next door while he was attending Yale – i think Grad School – When he took time off to work on Joseph Lieberman’s campaign for office and sublet the house to one of the guys who’d moved into the house we started out as three and in a couple weeks there were ten people there and I had a night job and found people sleeping in my bed when I came home and one guy complained about me complaining with “I’m tired of being the low man on the totem pole around here -” anyway I was sleeping uneasily and trying to wake up – had a very vivid dream that a woman was standing next to the bed I was sleeping in – and she was wearing like an 1890’s dark violet-blue velvet dress – I couldn’t look up to see her face – and a glove came up at the edge of the bed almost the same colour as that dress and waved six fingers at me – when I told my brother about that dream he made me watch the opening segment of a horror movie where a hand like that with six fingers came up out of a grave and was looking for something to grab on to and drag back down into the grave – My brother thought that was cool and couldn’t believe I’d never seen that opening bit for a running series of episodic horror features.
— But also – I saw what looked to me like Roman legions marching with their spears toward a crowd of people and were pushing them over a high cliff onto rocks below and a pleasant voice told me, “She tried to help the ‘Things’ in Atlantis fight for human rights and was killed by the military along with them – And she’s been a rebel ever since.”
— Other dreams before I started taking Raja Yoga {Spiritual Yoga} lessons – I saw page 258 of a book with minarets in the distance while I read the first line – and a voice told me “He should have read the book about the Moslem Mystics.” I found a copy of “The Sufis” by Idries Shah in a book store, opened it to page 258 – and yup – that was the book. I also found little books by Pir O Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan in a used book store – and bought them, gave them to friends after I read them cover to cover and when I checked out the Yale and Dartmouth book stores I found a lot of books written by Idries Shah – Including a book of the sayings of Nasruddin – which were uplifting and even funny in places.

– “Aeslynne – Early Spring Night – Star Gazing” –
— In my next instalment, I’ll probably try to explain the game world I spent more than ten years trying to build – where I was guaranteed to have been grandfathered for life – but a change of management and the new people didn’t think they had to honour that – Grumble grumble grumble – Shrug – ehhhh-
— I wanted to build a computer game where all kinds of players could have fun and didn’t have to kill every thing in sight to prosper and earn themselves a good time and probably even learn things in the process. So of course the Beedy Grastards in this world couldn’t allow that to happen.
— “I have learned this from Philosophy – that I do out of choice what others do only out of fear of the Law -‘ I think that’s a quote from Aristotle – look it up. it may be a loose quote, modernized or whatever.
— And while I’m at it – Let me post my friend, Doug’s poll : Don’t try to enter anything in the following poll – it’s copied and pasted and I do not believe the original poll is still available to see how much of a minority opinion – or not – you hold:

– “Poll created by Doug Otterson – the computer Security guy.” –
— Like I said, don’t try to click on anything – that image above has been copied and pasted and is not the original poll.
— Hang in there –
