I wrote this piece in 2011 and published it on my vanishingly obscure personal blog. It describes events which took place in probably 1996. I've never heard much in the intervening years about any similar circumstances until today when I was catching up with a college friend on the phone and I figured now was … Continue reading Energy Predation and Emotional Manipulation at a Tibetan Meditation Centre

Love on the Periphery: Liminality & Marriage
When I wrote Liminality 101 a few days ago, I felt very strongly the need to concentrate on marriage transitions as a way to emphasize the role of the larger community and changing social - not just physical - status as key to the liminal state. However, I was frustrated as I could only … Continue reading Love on the Periphery: Liminality & Marriage
Liminality 101
With the growing attention to George P. Hansen’s work on the trickster and the paranormal, more paranormal researchers are grappling with the concept of liminality and it’s relationship to paranormal experiences. Recently I’ve come across researchers who are completely flummoxed by what does and does not constitute liminality. While liminality does take many forms, … Continue reading Liminality 101
How To Induce Synchronicities
After I posted my “ghost dog” experience on a facebook group last year some readers asked for my procedure for inducing synchronicities. I wrote up this piece and distributed it privately.

Premonitions on the alexxcast
In September 2018 I was a guest on the alexxcast with Alexx Bollen. We ended up discussing a number of esoteric topics, but I did show prep focusing on premonitions. I've had many premonitions myself as has Alexx and so thought it would be interesting to look at the phenomenon from theoretical and personal perspectives. … Continue reading Premonitions on the alexxcast
Chimeras of Burning Man
the gallery card I picked up at Tara Ice Cream the day after my dream, with corners dog eared from time spent in my sock drawer “One measures a circle, beginning anywhere.” Charles Fort I begin with this quote because I have a story to tell and no idea how to tell it. I’m hoping … Continue reading Chimeras of Burning Man
Paranormal Aspects of Bigfoot Encounters
Claudia Ackley on "Me and Paranormal You" with Ryan Singer I’ve long been struck by the many similarities Bigfoot sightings have to other paranormal occurrences, for example poltergeist infestations. Recently I was listening to the “Me and Paranormal You” podcast and heard Ryan Singer interview Claudia Ackley about her interest in Bigfoot research and … Continue reading Paranormal Aspects of Bigfoot Encounters
Ghost Dog is a Mystery Box
Earlier this year (March 2018) I followed an online discussion about “mystery boxes” amongst Greg Bishop and some members of his Radio Misterioso podcast fan group online. It prompted me to write up an experience I had which involved one of these enigmatic boxes. I’ve long been perplexed by the small boxes which show up … Continue reading Ghost Dog is a Mystery Box
