Regan Lee's Trickster's Realm :

2.8.10 : Jellyfish in Space

UFOs that look like jellyfish have been reported in the skies, going back to at least 1954. Recently Micah A. Hanks wrote about a 1954 sighting, sharing with us a delightful Fortean insight into the esoteric symbolism of the jellyfish.

On January 28th of this year, Norway skies, not satisfied with the blue spiral thing in their skies a short time previously, gave us a spectacular vision of a jellyfish object. This past June, a jellyfish symbol appeared, not in the skies but in the ground, as a crop circle. In Oxfordshire, England, a beautiful and intricate jellyfish design crop circle appeared; 600 feet long, the "circle" was said to be roughly three times the usual size for a crop circle.

From an esoteric or Fortean view, the idea of jellyfish signs in the sky and the ground invokes "as above, so below." UFOs above -- do they cause the crop circles below?

Shadow of the Shinigami
by Marla Peña :

2.4.10: Random Thoughts

I was watching a movie called Little Ashes this past weekend. The movie focused mainly in the unique lives and friendship of 3 Spanish legends: Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel.

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. The lives of these geniuses left me deeply impressed to say the least. Before the movie ended I asked my husband: Why don't we hear about genius people like that anymore?

I have seen the art of truly gifted artists, classic musicians and brilliant scientists which contributions to this planet are invaluable to this modern era. However, I haven't heard about that "next level" genius like Mozart, Einstein, Picasso or Dalí (among others).

Lesley's Grey Matters :

2.2.10 : Beside the Point may be a Larger Point

Some things are beside the point, like global warming being man made. What does it matter? Climate change is happening and people still become sick from toxins in the air. Cleaning up the earth should be a no brainer, whether you believe in man made climate change or not.

It is the same with UFOs and other esoteric events. It doesn't matter if UFOs are little green men from Neptune, it matters that people are having the experience of seeing strange things flying about in the sky.

It could be possible that the fact that people witness things that seem unbelievable to some actually may spur us to evolve, at least technologically.

A.M. Murphy's Not Always So :

1.29.10 : Ghostly Gurus

The other personality was there, within him, for as long as the boy could remember. He called it Personality Number Two.

Most of the time, the young Carl Jung was an ordinary child. But Personality Number Two was "grown up -- old, in fact -- skeptical, mistrustful, remote from the world of men, but close to nature, the earth, the sun, the moon, the weather, all living creatures, and above all close to the night, to dreams, and to whatever 'God' worked directly in him." That was how Jung described the feeling, in his autobiography, many years later.

Later, Jung would come to feel that Personality Number Two was his spirit guide, a sort of inner guru that Jung named "Philemon."

Medusa's Ladder
by Richelle Hawks :

2.5.10 : Fata Morgana: A Curious Photograph

One of the most amazing things to me in all of esoterica is simulacra; the notion of representation through form. It could be effectively argued that simulacra may be among the sturdiest of unifying threads within all of academic philosophy, clear back to Plato (the cave of shadows, the forms) and into the contemporary with Baudrillard (the end of history, the hyperreal;) it's no surprise to find the idea of simulacra maneuvering itself through the respective metaphysical, new age, and occult looking-glasses as well.

Masaru Emoto's water crystals, the New Thought movement and its modern spin-off, The Secret, Stan Tenen's Hebrew alphabet, and Drunvalo Melchizedek's Flower of Life are only a few examples that all employ and lean on, in various degrees, the notion of simulacra.

Richard's Sci Fi Worlds

2.1.10 : A Sci Fi Worlds Interview with Nick Redfern

Last year, when I interviewed Nick Redfern in Sci-Fi Worlds, he'd teased that one of his next projects was Science Fiction Secrets, a book chronicling the bizarre crossover between the non-aligned worlds of Sci-Fi and the esoteric realms of UFOs, the paranormal and conspiracy theory. This past Fall, the book arrived and I knew it would be a great way to start the science fiction-esque year 2010 with a fresh interview with Nick to discuss his foray into the strange connection between sci fi and esoterica.

Some of the topics delved into include Nick Pope and his UFO fiction, 9/11 and the X-Files spin-off that predicted it, Philip K. Dick, and Dennis Wheatley's UFO books to name just a few.

Tina Sena's Esotericana :

1.11.10: Dead Rising

I've never said I didn't believe in the paranormal. I have, however said I don't believe in ghosts. Somehow people think that is one and the same. It's not. You see, I do believe that there are entities who are often times invisible to the naked eye, and that these entities use energy to manifest or make their presence known, whether it be through electronic voice phenomena or knocks and bangs.

I've seen and heard and felt it all, first hand. I know it's there. I just don't think it's the spirits of the dead coming back for a visit.
