Since I've been working a steady job with crazy hours that do not allow me to really catch "Paranormal State" or Chip Coffey's new show "Psychic Kids," I've had to google the Paranormal Research Society at Penn State which was originally begun by director Ryan Buell, whose career as a paranormal investigator is really taking off! I've bookmarked his blog, and would have bookmarked Chip's but Mssr. Coffey has not updated his blog in, like, a year!
I would really love TiVo, but it's beyond my budget...so I'm hoping Ryan, Sergey and their PRS buddies will think about putting "Paranormal State" on DVD.
I REALLY loved the episode where they went out west to investigate heavy UFO phenomena...that was last year--sometime before I got hired at Meskwaki. It got a UFO dream sequence started again later that night, thanks also to a favorite Jon Anderson song running through my head while the "Paranormal State" episode was showing.
So far, I have not experienced too many UFO dreams since that night last year, which is sadly disappointing because when I do have them, they are always a bit fun, if somewhat frightening at first because they sometimes come unbidden. Granted, I do choose to try to induce and influence such dreams, usually, to see what happens. Because ultimately, I am usually not super-terrified.
And hang it all, I LOVE having those sorts of weird dreams, if only in order to reconfirm to myself that dreams need not always be about work, school, my beloveds (friends, families, etc). Though I did rather have a hybrid dream the other night...I was in a small room with a time-clock, hanging out with my Hispanic friends Carmen and Miguel, who work in Bingo-Concessions. This room was darkly lit, and the scene had something of a "sepia" tone to it, like an old "tin-type" photograph from two centuries ago. But what caught my eye was a library cart filled with vinyl LPs...and there was a copy of my favorite musician's 1976 masterwork "Olias of Sunhillow." I could tell what it was by the gold and green cover, with Jon Anderson's famous "Moorglade" logo on the back...and my heart just filled with all levels of heavenly joy to see it in my dreams...a manifestation of high-level creative work...
In my mind, right now, all I can think is that by choosing to pick up the LP and hug it to my heart and dance around with it, not wanting to let it go--instead of hanging with Carmen and Miguel before punching in to work---tells me that on a deep soul level I have truly chosen a creative life and that nothing is going to keep me away from the life I truly wish to live.
And so I close with a favorite Jon Anderson quote, one that's spoken very clearly to me over the last year or three:
"Never underestimate the power that's given to you!"
And heed these words I shall, for always...
Blessed Be,
Rev. Kat ^.^
