  1. Just wanted to comment briefly. For some unknown to me reason, for about the last three or so months, I have been so totally engrossed in UFO activities. I know I’ve always been very interested. I did see one UFO, when I was about 17. (58 now) My girlfriend and I, and my buddy and his girlfriend watched unknown lights, stationary in the sky for about 1/2 hour. It was on Rt. 138, just South of University of RI, over the “Great Swamp” located in South County. Then about 10 years later, about 1977 or so, I was wiring a house (I was an electrician) for another friend of mine, and actually it was, kind of “as -the-crow flies” basically backed up to my original sighting years earlier. If you were to stand and look through the woods in a straight line. possibly 5 to 10 miles, in a straight line, you would come upon that same area. There have been quite a few sightings in that area. That same basic area was where , tears earlier, a business named “United Nuclear” was located. Nuclear!! What does that say to you. It would seem to me UFO’s have always been seen and associated with nuclear phenomena. anyway the sighting years later, my friend and his dad were building a fireplace for his new home. This home was located off US Rt. 1 at the intersection of the two towns of Charlestown and South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Woods all around. They went out on the deck to have a smoke and take care of excess body fluids. It was around 9:00 PM. They were standing on the deck talking, when the whole sky lit up. Arv looked up, and there was a huge cigar-shaped craft, sitting there silently with flashing colored lights around it and rows of windows. arv flashed his flashlight up at it, and immediately it flashed one right back down to him. Arv, said “whoa Dad, did you see that?” The craft sat there silently for about 10 or so more minutes and then – whooosh – gone – I said gone!! and that was that.

  2. Introducing the Spiritual Teacher Tony Samara

    Hello,

    I would like to introduce you to Tony Samara, a contemporary spiritual teacher, who has been working and conducting spiritual discourses (satsang) throughout Europe and the world for the last two decades.

    His intention is to bring people from the multiple facades of the mind, ego and emotions into the simplicity of living at one with nature and the world. His simple message embraces everyone and everything. Moments shared in his presence are of deep wisdom beyond words as if listening without ears and seeing without eyes.

    To be more practical, we invite you to read an interview published in a renowned Austrian spiritual magazine and an article about Tony Samara, and, if you are more visual, to view a clip from one of Tony’s Portuguese retreats by following this link http://www.tonysamara.org/videoAlive.htm

    Please visit our website http://www.tonysamara.org for more information.

    We look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Thank you,

    Wahido

  4. Thank you for notifying me about the Gypsy photo on flickr. I think it works well for your article. That image remains one of my favorites over the years. It was taken in Bucharest, not far from my apartment.

  8. Dr. Clark,

    First of all, I want to thank you for re-posting our conversation. I appreciated questions, and allowing me a forum to share mysticism through your website. I have had some of my colleagues read our posts, and they were quite amused by our banter.

    That aside, you had invited me to write an article for your site. I have one that you may be interested in. But, if you feel I have taken up too much space on your website, I would certainly understand…

    The only thing I ask, is that you help me understand how to send it to you. I have little savvy when it comes to websites, etc. I have only managed to scrape by on my own.

    Once again, if you feel that another entry, or an article from me at this point, would be too much – I understand completely.

    My thanks again.

  10. Michael,
    In answer to your response to my question on experts.com-I’ve never bloged before so I hope I am contacting you in the manner you wanted and doing it correctly. You asked that I be concise-so I will try without being obnoxiously wordy.

    The house where my husband and I live is the house I grew up in. It is a quad level built by my parents in 1956. Our master bedroom is actually what used to be the basement level. It is a very open style and where ever you are in the house there is either a living space level above or below you. Up from our bedroom is the den/one car garage. Up from there is the living room/dining room/kitchen. Up from there are 3 bedrooms and bath. My little computer room/craft room is a front bedroom just above the den. The living room is just above our bedroom. Bear with me…it will help with the logistics of the sounds we hear.

    When I was a small child I used to wake up and hear the old upright piano, which was in the garage, playing. I don’t remember what tune. It just scared me. It was one of the reasons that I objected to moving back into the house. I’d always felt something was there, but didn’t understand at the time not to be afraid. My 30 year old daughter moved into the house when my Pop at 92 began to get sick. After he went into Assisted Living she remained in the house. She said she would hear things, but being the natural chicken that she was she put her head under the covers. After her daughter was born the baby would look up to a certain corner in the living room and just laugh. We joked saying that it was my mom-who dearly loved my daughter and commented just before she died in 1992 that she was afraid she would never get to see Jenny’s children. That really stuck out in my mind.

    We did move in about 4 months before my Pop passed in 1997. Our house at the time had been burglarized for the 3rd time and we decided it was the best move. My Pop was so tickled. He and my mom had designed and built the house when I was 4. They always loved it. I’m more of a log cabin type of gal, but it made me happy to make my Pop happy…so in we moved. At first, I don’t remember hearing or seeing anything out of the ordinary except when downstairs in our bedroom I’d hear the living room floor creaking in a pattern as if someone were walking. I chalked that up to old houses creak. I still hear that every once in a while near where the window is in the dining room looking out on the wooded park behind the house.

    I was having a particularly hard time around Father’s Day this past year. Crying a lot—putting off doing estate business—in general just grieving. It was a Sunday just after Father’s Day when my son-in-law was sitting in the den talking with us after he’d come back from church. My granddaughter walked in thru the garage door and Greg said, “I just saw a shadow follow Hunter in thru the door, cross the den and continue up the stairs.” (This was a path my father took many times a day while working in the garage and in the yard.) I knew he’d seen what he said, but missed it as my back was to the area. A few days later my husband was in the den watching tv around midnight. He heard the sound of books being placed on bookshelves then being shoved over as if to make room for more. Just for the record, I’d filled those bookcases weeks before. He wondered why I was up there working at that hour. A bit later he came downstairs to go to bed—and there I was…fast asleep. I’d obviously not been in my little computer room. He didn’t tell me about this until the weekend. I immediately went to the room. Stood in the center and did a complete turn around—taking in the whole room. I whispered, “Pop, are you here?” As I stopped, my eyes focused on a lower shelf of the bookcase. There was a photo of my youngest daughter, my closest friend and her fiancé-our beloved minister who died suddenly in 1996. I’d looked for that framed photo after we moved, couldn’t find it. It had been displayed in my old computer room at my old house since 1994 and was one of the first things packed when we moved. And there it stood. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. I kept thinking to myself—that wasn’t there, I couldn’t find it. I then raised my eyes to the top shelf and there, standing up straight and facing out as if on display in front of the books that were shelved were 3 little books spaced about 6 inches apart. The chosen titles blew me away. Actually, next to the first book was a little wooden craft sign I’d bought several years before—I had placed it weeks before on the very top of the bookcase,hum—it comically says, “The witch is in and she’s casting spells.” Hey, I raised 4 kids—I was a witch for most of their teenaged years. Back to the 3 little books standing so straight and precise… 1st Title “The Prayer of Jabez”-which I hadn’t read, but was a gift from my friend in the aforementioned photo—2nd Title “The Sweetest Gift”-Mary’s story of the birth of Jesus—3rd Title “The Road to Emmaus”-a book I’d received when I went on my Emmaus Walk (which I had attended with my friend in the photo). I was absolutely blown away. I wasn’t afraid—I felt a peace that I hadn’t felt since before my dad was diagnosed with cancer. Later I went back to the shelves to look again. On closer inspection I found that there was a book singled out just behind the displayed books with a 2inch space on either side of it—like books had been removed—but those little free standing books hadn’t even been in that I room. I believe they were in the bookcase in our bedroom with my other spiritual books. The book that had been singled out had an address sticker on the spine with my full name showing—now, I love my books-I have over 900…I don’t see myself defacing a book by putting the address sticker from amazon.com on it. It was clearly to show that the message was for me…to get my attention. I also noticed several other things: 2 of the 3 little books actually had a second book behind them. Behind Jabez was the companion workbook; behind The Sweetest Story was a little book called “No One to Call Me Home” about a troubled teen living on the streets. My Pop’s high school year book was laying on a shelf with the book “Finding Your Family Roots” , there was an old, old picture of some of my Mom’s family in front of an old house. Those were in their old bedroom—I’m sure. After that only a few things happened… One morning early-just after my husband had left for work, I was in a light twilight sleep when I felt the edge of the bed go down. I opened my eyes thinking my husband had forgotten something and had returned home. I watched as an impression was made in the down comforter right beside me as if someone had sat down. I feeling a complete and happy peace, I smiled and fell back to sleep. At times in the middle of the night, our Pekingese would stand on the end of our bed and bark watching up the steps to the den. That happened several times until she died in October. That was it for many months then… Last week…once again in the den… my husband and I were sitting just talking when there was a sudden quick 2 raps on the back wooden door. It sounded to me as if it were coming from the inside. Our little Yorkie sitting on my lap immediately jumped to attention and barked at the door. There was nothing to explain it away. A storm door and a locked fenced in back yard kept the thought of anyone being outside and actually knocking at bay. It happened once more—again in the evening—only it was just my husband that heard it that time. He came downstair to my bath to report he’d heard it again. He said, “If it wasn’t your Pop we’d have heard the storm door open and close.” I told him to go open the door and let him in…it was cold.”

    One more thing…just before my Pop died I heard a song bird outside of our bedroom window. The bird sang, not tweet tweet, but a clear beautiful song into the hours of the morning. I remember lying awake thinking how lucky to hear an actual song bird, but this bird really ought to have migrated by now. It’s Thanksgiving. I didn’t equate it with my dad’s passing until later. I’ve never before heard such a bird. Then again the morning our little peke died there was the same sweet song right outside of our window—only sung lower and for not as long.

    I guess it’s too late to hope for the “less wordy” version of concise. I am so sorry. Thank you for listening and I hope you can give some insights to help us become even more aware of what’s going on around us.
    Sincerely,
    Sue

  11. To me it sounds like you have a mix of possible paranormal events combined with what the psychologist C. G. Jung calls synchronicity.

    http://epages.wordpress.com/2008/05/24/synchronicity-new-age-fantasy-or-face-of-the-future/

    Synchronicity is about meaningful coincidences. By the way you present your account it seems that these events tie in together almost like a good novel–that is, certain themes relate to and bounce off one another.

    From an outsider’s perspective, all I can say is that if these occurrences are meaningful to you and do not frighten or scare you, then I really wouldn’t pay too much attention to them. If someone from the proverbial “other side” is trying to tell you something, and if that presence is benevolent, then chances are you will discern the meaning or meanings in due course.

    If, however, you feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way, I would recommend relating this account to a pastor in your local area… someone whom you deem wise and can trust.

    Feel free to follow up. And thanks for a fascinating account!

  12. Thank you, Michael. It all seems very confusing once you read about it. I’m a simple gal, altho comfortable with my IQ…I think what I’m saying is I’m no where near the catagory of learner to, easily or with all the dictionaries and encyclopedias one can carry, understand what is going on right now. I think I’ll just embrace it, pray about it and enjoy the ride. Thanks, again, Michael.
    Sincerely,
    Sue
    and PS. I am a writer, however crude (and unpublished) in the elements, all of the things I have described to you are real. I know I don’t need to prove the events, but felt since you mentioned the novel like senario I wanted to explain.

    Comment by Sue — February 1, 2009 @ 10:11 am | Reply

  13. Sue, when I mentioned the literary analogy I only meant that sometimes life can seem like a novel in that themes interrelate, all pointing to the idea that God’s creation is not random (a human concept often uncritically accepted) but fitting within a Divine Plan.

    There are many wonderful and perhaps not so wonderful mysteries out there and for me to assume that I can figure it all out or say precisely what it is would be presumptuous on my part!

    So yeah, I think you have a very healthy attitude about it all. And I don’t doubt the credibility of your account one iota.

    Thanks again.

  14. can u send me a copy of your thesis for a number of doubting thomases want to know if synchronicity is at play

    Comment by rudy — April 11, 2009 @ 2:44 pm | Reply

  15. Rudy, I think it’s important to remember with synchronicity that there’s a process of interpretation that accompanies and/or follows its occurrence.

    Whether or not that interpretation is in accord with what’s really going on, i.e. how God sees things, well that’s another matter… :-)

    At any rate, this entry has three links at the bottom (see “On the Web”). The second link is the pdf version of my thesis:

  20. Hi, I think this blog is great some interesting thoughts, I am very interested in Jungain Psychology and I am completing an MA in Applied Theology, I am currently completing my dissertation on the subject of a theological interpretation of the alien abduction phenomenon, let me know if anyone is interested in reading it, it should be ready for publication in a few weeks time. I am actually an environmental consultant and international relief and development worker for my day job, so get in touch if you would like to connect, cheers!

  21. Thanks very much for your kind words.

    Jung and Theology is a good mix; and I’m also interested in the phenomenology of alleged ET phenomena.

    What particular theological perspective are you coming from? Catholic, Protestant, Jewish..?
