U.S. Army Remote Viewing Experiments Show Us The Best Time To Be Psychic

April 26, 2018

It's been about 2 years since I devoted a list of cities and the best times to be psychic in your own city.  I had noted the book about a Fort Meade army project in psychic spying years ago.  Charts in  McMoneagle's book showed a graph which the U.S. government was trying to figure out.  I'm working on a report to discuss what that graph means and theories of what it implies.

I use Stellarium software running on an old laptop running a Linux operating system.   I'm still checking to see if this chart is reflecting daylight savings time which affects out real time.  We may off one hour due to the time change.  The southern hemisphere is still a little confusing to check on.  I'm listing times with a 24 hour clock time.  So, no 'AM' nor 'PM' will be shown.

If you are trying to figure out your particular city, which may not be listed below, each degree west is about 3 minutes and 58 seconds later.  Each degree east of a location will be sooner.  For many of you that don't have computer software to check on this the alignment of the heavens can be checked visually.  In a clear sky, look up in the South direction, the double star Spica of the constellation Virgo will have just passed the South line when it is good in your area.

The times below are the end times for your best time to be psychic.  For example using the data below, if you are in New York City, U.S., you would start at about 20 minutes after midnight on 4/24/18.   The time to stop is 50 minutes past midnight.   You have about 30 minutes for this effect to last.  The times listed should be without the effect of daylight savings time.  If your clock is adjusted to an hour before the true time, you should be able to start an hour later; so (using the New York City example) you would start at 1:20 and stop at 1:50.

THESE ARE END TIMES FOR THE PSYCHIC BOOST.   YOU HAVE A 30 MINUTE INTERVAL FOR THIS EFFECT TO TAKE PLACE.   TIME LISTED IS THE TIME THAT THE PSYCHIC BOOST WILL END.   START 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO TIME LISTED. For the date 4/24/18:
New York City, U.S.                        00:50 (50 minutes past midnight)

Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.              01:20
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.                      01:45
Denver, Colorado, U.S.                   02:53
Los Angeles, California, U.S.         03:46
Seattle, Washington, U.S.                04:03
Toronto, Canada                              01:11
Vancouver, Canada                         04:05

For the day before 4/23/18:
Cape Town, South Africa                 18:41
London, England                              19:55
Paris, France                                     19:45
Berlin, Germany                               19:01
Moscow, Russian Federation           17:25
Brasília, Brazil                                   23:06
Buenos Aires                                      23:48

Be aware that the date for these times is good for the dates listed below.  Each day afterwards the time has to be recalculated to be 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds later for each day. 

If you've read Joseph McMoneagle's book, Remote Viewing Secrets, you may have some idea about what I'm talking about.  Type into Google's search engine "local sidereal time psychic", click on the Images tab and you will find several graphs that show data from the experiments in the book.  Several websites have discussed this.  This graph shows the peak times to be psychic. Remote viewers for the U.S. army had tested psychic spying back in 1997. This is now declassified as this book has gone public.  Psychic spying is equivalent to mental projection.  It is an attempt to believe you can see a far away location in your mind.  Some individuals have a significant ability above others to do this.  They can describe somewhat the details from a distant location.  I am of the conviction that anyone can get better with practice.  This data is the result of many experiments. McMoneagle tries to explain it away in his book.  Scientists had felt it something to do with the location of the Milky Way in respect to the observer's location.  The Milky Way is located approximately between the Sagittarius and Scorpio constellations.  You can check Google to see its location next to those constellations in an image search. So, the psychic time was better when the Milky Way wasn't visible from the observer's location.  When the Milky Way was visible from the horizon the ability dropped significantly for the observer.  From the book, I concluded that we have psychic levels that change throughout the day.

Astral Projection

New: August 9, 2016

I wanted to call this new chapter of my blog the Noncyclopedia, or Experienceclopedia (combining the words experiences and knowledge), to discuss a topic in the Wikipedia. As writers try to define the topic it is not a "a supposed form of telepathy" as mentioned in the Wikipedia. Telepathy may appear to become possible in the experience it is not, on the whole, a "form of telepathy". Astral projection is found in occultism and can be similar to lucid dreaming. The sense of astral projection may be experienced through hallucinations that may be brought on by medical operations or disorders as well.

While there may be no scientific evidence that the consciousness can separate from the body, the author Robert Monroe, collected much data from his astral projection experiences to write about it. His family, per info from his first book Journeys Out of the Body, believed that Monroe could project distances to perceive things going on his family's life without being physically present.

Monroe documented 3 realms of the astral world. The first one coincides with this world. Some travelers in the astral have been able to fly to points around the world or distant planets in space. The second realm appears to not be subject to time. Multiple times exist at the same time in this area. The third realm is some kind of parallel world that is similar to our world, but it has different features or technology than our own.

I myself underwent a contract with a witch years ago. I paid for an astral travel course for $45 which was supposed to help me project from my physical body. I was successful but the experience made me sick for the remainder of that day. I later used numerous books on astral projection to escape my body temporarily. I never was able to escape on a regular basis. It appears it is a skill that people are good at or only have the experiences temporarily.

There are a lot of books on the subject.  However, I find that these books are the true classics and were in my collection at one time.

#3 Master Rite: The Diabolic Discourse

November 12, 2016

As some of you have worked with Israel Regardie's Middle Pillar Ritual, it is one of the most powerful forms of mysticism out there.   The mystical forces are almost overwhelming if you meditate on them on a daily basis.    If you refer to some of the books on the Middle Pillar many authors point out that the area of the feet is the where the Earth sphere is located.   Next, Water is located in the groin area.  After this, Fire is located in the Heart region. After this is the Air which is supposedly located in the throat.   Finally, comes the Spirit, or 5th element, located halfway inside the top of our head and the other half above the head.   If you have Geof Gray-Cobb's book on Avatar Power you can see an illustration that refers to this ritual.

The books say the sphere of energy located in the throat doesn't really exist.   It is as if it is missing.
NOTE: Please be aware that some Christians believe, step 5, would call up Satan or Lucifer.   If you believe this I advise you not to try this as you may not be prepared for this rite.  This rite may be too much for those with mental illness or are weak in character.

The Rite:  
1. First work the Middle Pillar Ritual where you have the circulation of the energy throughout the 5 spheres of your body: feet, groin, heart, throat and the top of the head.
2. Focus on the energy sphere in your feet area.  Say, "I invoke the Prince of the Power of the Earth.  I now have the Power of Earth within me."   Say this 3 times to invoke the power.   Focus on the energy sphere in your feet area a little while longer.
3. Focus on the energy sphere in your groin area.  Say, "I invoke the Prince of the Power of the Water.  I now have the Power of Water within me."   Say this 3 times to invoke the power.   Focus on the energy sphere in your groin area a little while longer.
4. Focus on the energy sphere in your heart area.  Say, "I invoke the Prince of the Power of the Fire.  I now have the Power of Fire within me."   Say this 3 times to invoke the power.   Focus on the energy sphere in your heart area a little while longer.
5. Focus on the energy sphere in your throat area.  Say, "I invoke the Prince of the Power of the Air.  I now have the Power of Air within me."   Say this 3 times to invoke the power.   Focus on the energy sphere in your throat area a little while longer.
6. Focus on the energy sphere in the top of your head.  Say, "I invoke the Prince of the Power of the Spirit. I now have the Power of Spirit within me."   Say this 3 times to invoke the power.   Focus on the energy sphere in the top of your head a little while longer.
7. Remain quiet for awhile to contemplate whatever thoughts come to you.   Don't force any thoughts as you remain calm with eyes closed.

#2 Master Rite of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil

Revised From An Older Entry 7-2-16

This entry is being updated and was originally called "My Philospher's Stone - The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree".   I am going to delete the old entry referring to an eBook I was going to produce.   I never got around to doing the eBook and have decided to let the public work on this one as I describe the ritual in its entirety.

Anyone who has Christian teachings in life is familiar with the Garden of Eden story. Assuming the story was real with a real Adam and Eve the Tree of Knowledge of the Good and Evil existed at one time. Using information from the description of this Rite, one should be able to construct a ritual to have the participant identify with Adam, transform a piece of fruit into the apple from the Garden of Eden. The participant would take a bite to obtain the visions or knowledge of Adam. All knowledge should flow into the participant and that person, theoretically, should become a god.  This is a ritual involving a communion.  I am looking at protestant transformation ceremonies that involve communion. Some of you may be familiar with these. This ritual, with Masonic overtones, is what I can also call the Rite of Adam. Ritual of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. (abbreviated: R.O.T.T.O.K.O.G.A.E.) It may be dangerous. I was working on my Ritual of the Nonself (abbreviated: R.O.T.N.) and may have contracted an illness held by the target contact in my experiment. I have halted testing of that ritual for the time being. The ritual is to help one become another person in thought, word and deed.   After much work, I realize that the Ritual of the Nonself may be something along the lines of the Martinists.  Check out the 'Book of Secrets'.   My work with the Ritual of the Nonself may lead to the Tree of Knowledge.   Some may be wondering what I meant by 'The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree'.   The expression may refer to a son who hasn't amounted to anything good - acting just like the rest of his family.  However, I am referring to something altogether different.

Essentially, the Rite involves 3 main ideas: 1. An apple is used during the ceremony 2. You identify the apple as being one and the same with the apple that Adam and Eve ate 3. You eat the apple 4. You identify with Adam 5. You derive some spiritual experience where you may become "God-like" for an instant.

Some have said that the instant Adam and Eve ate the apple in the garden that they became God-like and all-knowing.   That is the goal of this rite.   This was the fall of mankind and we suffer Adam and Eve's sins to this day (if you believe the Christian view).  Why would we want to suffer if we didn't commit the same sin as the 2 in the Garden of Eden?   You know the Christian view:  sins of the fathers are upon the children.

My philosopher's stone might actually be the result of my 30 plus years of occultism studies.   I may have enough material from what I've studied: a philosophical secret organization, witchcraft, Freemasonry studies, and ancient mysteries.    My spiritual fathers are those philosophers that have gone before.   They are my heroes.   You can tell who you are meant to be by the type of heroes you have.   Who do you respect?   Who is your idol?    Answering questions like these says a lot about who you really are.  Claude de St. Martin would be one of mine.   Essentially, everything I need is already inside me.   I have to look inside myself.   The apple has fallen and it is there for the taking.   I just have to eat it and wait to see what happens. I am in my 50's and I'm willing to take more chances.   My life is mediocre with nothing really exciting in my career.   I worked magic to create change and excitement; it was like opening Pandora's box or going into the 'Twilight Zone'.   It was very much surrealistic.   Assuming that the Devil was the Serpent in the Garden of Eden it seems natural to pull him up for such an operation.    

#1 Master Rite of the Nonself: Flamelism

November 12, 2016

Previously, in my work with Rosicrucianism, I became exposed to another field of occultism: Martinism.   Martinists more or less examine the works of Louis Claude de St. Martin.   I won't go into the complete history, but his work is a belief in being close to God by using a form of prayers that he devised.   It is an opposing belief from the order that he was working with.  Some of the other members were using the evocation of spirits in order to encounter God.   St. Martin was opposed to this idea of contacting God through evocation.  Of course, this information comes not from my membership from the order but rather from some history of the order.  While I never got to the higher degrees of Martinism, I am still under oath as not to reveal the concepts.   You may have the opportunity to join a Martinist group after you've become a Rosicrucian but you may become disillusioned or disappointed after you've seen a ritual.  It appears that most of the leaders of such rituals never tell the members what they are supposed to get out of it.   It can be like witnessing a dramatic play with no explanation.

I became inactive after awhile.  A book, available publicly, pointed out that Martinists seek to become unified with the mind of St. Martin.   I disputed the procedures as a valid method of reaching God. I still was not quite convinced that his path was right for me.   Why would I ever seek to have his mind joined with mine even if I was successful?   I have even developed my own form of prayer, that I feel, is more successful with particular goals.

I have come up with a better target: Nicolas Flamel.   The alchemist credited with finding the Philosopher's Stone.   It it the aim of alchemy to develop this stone.

The Rite: 1. Study Nicolas Flamel's life  2.  Say to yourself: "Each and every day, I am becoming more and more like Nicolas Flamel.   I have become Nicolas Flamel in thought, word and deed.   All his thoughts are mine."  Repeat this as many times as possible throughout the day.


More details on this process coming up!

Sage Advice from an Armchair Alchemist

September 19, 2016

"Before chemistry, alchemy was the science that was known. The alchemical processes were a riddle hidden from the ignorant. This list of processes, associated with the 12 zodiac signs, are found in many books on alchemy. Multiplication is the duplication of the organic or nonorganic substances. Crystals or yeasts are an example of the method by which substances duplicate: crystals or yeasts can be populated from other crystals or yeasts. Projection is the system or conditions that allow for duplication to occur. This projection is the heart of the philosopher's stone. Gold or diamonds, theoretically, should be able to grow (duplicate) given the right temperature, pressure and solution of dirt from the Earth."
- Nectanebus II

Although I've not gotten a degree in chemistry, I had taken several college level chemistry courses.  I had questioned the philosopher's stone for years wondering what it could be.   I love science and had read material at the MIT website:   http://web.mit.edu/x-ray/cystallize.html

I also read up on seed crystals here: http://chemistry.about.com/cs/growingcrystals/a/aa012604.htm

I am home beer brewer and had recently read about yeast farming, essentially, growing yeast from other yeast.  I have come to the conclusion that we already have discovered the philosopher's stone.   We just didn't know it was right there in front of us all along.  Using a seed of the substance, we can duplicate the substance over and over.

My publisher recently put out his blog entry on gruit ale and found some startling facts.   I just used some kitchen spice to be a great picture for this blog entry.  Of course, the spice pictured is really what we are talking about here.  See his blog at:



http://concoctingbrews.weebly.com/

He tells us: "sage was used to remove iron from a spa during the early 1900's."  


If you were to look at the Kabbalistic tree, Jupiter is represented by Chesed on the right pillar.   Immediately, to the left pillar, you have Mars represented by the sphere Geburah.  This is interesting.   Sage is a plant corresponding to the sphere Jupiter.   If Sage does diminish Iron, then this is using a plant of Jupiter to dissolve an element of Mars on the opposite pillar.   Sage would balance out the other plants or minerals of Mars and might be an effect of alchemical chemistry.   I do recall reading somewhere that sage is full of the metal tin.   Tin is a metal corresponding to Jupiter.

How do we apply it to our practical lives?  The most significant thing about alchemy is that it is important to magical ritual.   If you are into witchcraft, sorcery or other magic involving spirits you should use sage to help create a closer relationship with those Jupiter divine names, archangels, angels or spirits.   You will better attract the power through the use of sage along with the divine names.   Sage, should work to attract the spirits from the Jupiter Sephirot or Kabbalistic spheres.   It will also repel those spirits from the Mars sphere. Just like it diminishes iron in water it should diminish the spirits from Mars.

My findings are that if the spice stores it, it is attracting that substance. Resistance or a depleting effect means the spice repels that particular substance.

This file shows the contents of metals that store in spices:
http://scihub.org/AJSIR/PDF/2010/2/AJSIR-1-2-158-163.pdf
Iron stored highest in Pepper and Aniseeds, Copper showed the highest concentrations in Nutmeg, Mercury was the highest in Cinnamon while Lead was the highest in Ginger.


The alchemy website,http://www.levity.com/alchemy/metals_i.html
shows Thyme is related to Iron and would be associated with the planet Mars.

Wikipedia shows that the metal Nickel ores resisted being refined into copper. I might place Nickel under the planet Mercury, opposite to Venus planet. The planet Mercury in magical work is really also associated with Mercury.



This is simply amazing.   I was thinking of composing an experiment with part of an old rusty nail, in a jar in solution of water. One would then add periodically more and more sage spice over time.  The rusty nail would be observed to see if it has a reaction with the metal or if the metal would slowly dissolve.

Much of this may be known by college level Chemistry students.   It does appear that tin ions will reduce iron ions to some extent.   This would be close to the alchemical knowledge.  

Another strange thing is that it has been determined that pine cones absorb or attract lead.   The pine tree is associated with the Roman god Saturn.   Now, it makes me wonder if other trees are sympathetic or associated with gods have the same properties.  If this is true the myrtle tree, associated with Aphrodite, should attract copper.   Something from the myrtle tree should reduce mercury under the same lines of thinking.


The Voynich Manuscript Revisited




November 19, 2016

Many may be wondering what the Voynich Manuscript has to do with this blog.  I feel this manuscript is a work of John Dee and may have some occult secrets buried within.  

My latest find is some characters resembling Hebrew cursive writing.   You can hit the search engine image files to find examples of the Hebrew.

Over the years, I used to toy with trying to crack the Voynich Manuscipt.  Many others have come up with their theories.  I noticed that a particular shorthand exhibit was being displayed at the museum where I work. Shorthand was originally used in the development of teaching materials for the blind.  If you search on Lucas embossed stenographic characters you can see a number of examples in the image search of Google.   Several of these shorthand characters could have been used to solve some of the characters in the Voynich Manuscript.   I had always had a hunch that John Dee was behind the manuscript and his language of communication would have had to be middle English or Latin existent at the time of his life.   I remember reading that one individual, coincidentally with the same first name Lucas, solved  Roger Williams's shorthand that was previously unsolved.   

The stenographic characters created by T. M. Lucas are displayed on the page: http://chestofbooks.com/reference/American-Cyclopaedia-1/The-Blind.html
and also at:  http://www.nyise.org/blind/gall.htm

Of all the types, the Lucas characters have the characters that come the closest to possibly composing the code of the script.

The book, the Voynich Manuscipt: The Mysterious Code that has Defied Interpretation for Centuries by Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill has the Voynich manuscript letters shown on page 243.  The character shown above was interpreted to be the letter 'k'.  I made a rough drawing of the character myself above.  I could have drawn it with a better horizontal line; so sorry, the drawing is not as true as I had liked.  

Reexamining the Lucas characters, the character above could be formed from the code 'wh' with a vertical stroke and a slight curve to the right at the bottom of the stroke. The top of that stroke could have a loop symbolizing an 'o'. Connected to the loop is a horizontal stroke that could have been for an 's'. The additional vertical stroke for a 't' could have been a null character to make it more difficult to solve. The character above, feasibly, could be the word 'whos' which was a middle english word prior to when the word became 'whose' in our dictionary. I'm speculating, but this is a possible lead. I am researching some other characters to see if I can find some other matches.

Air, Earth, Fire and Water

New:  March 26, 2016

Many have heard of the concepts of air, earth, fire and water in occultism.  It is thought of as 4 elements that are commonly found in new age and occult reading.  I thought I would add this simple idea to the blog, but it can be a life changing concept.

While these 4 elements have been brought up by other authors, I thought I would give my input on best to use them.  Most people can use the elements for visualization and affirmations.   You don't have to use these for spirit work.

Start with the Earth element.  Any of your goals or dreams have attributes that can be sensed.  Go for a walk outside and notice the the ground or dirt next to your feet.  You get the idea even if you are in a grassy area.  Picture that same dirt with your eyes close.  Your goals have many different things about it just the dirt or earth outside.  It has a certain look about it.  You can hear dirt as you drop dirt from a height onto the ground.  It has smell and can be felt.  It even has taste, but we will leave that one to babies that may eat dirt from time to time!   Picture your goals or dreams with your eyes closed and try to sense all you can about your objective.   For example, one might be looking for a new job and it may help to narrow the definition down to what I really want: a job more than $10 an hour.  This is a modest ideal, but some people are out of work and it may help.

Next, we consider the Air element.   Notice that when someone speaks words it is similar to the wind. When the wind blows, you may think about it as your body is being impacted by this force of weather.  Words also make us think.  Thinking is the intellect involved and we need to put our goals and dreams into words that describe it.  Let's go back to our example of finding a job.   Let's state in words what we really are trying to achieve.  "I have a job that pays over $10 an hour."   There are many books on affirmations out there.   It helps to say your desire in present tense.  I find that affirmations have some way of occurring and it tends to keep you focused as if you are a piece of metal being pulled toward a magnet.

Thirdly, we examine the Fire element.   Things that you want are desires.   You have to take some kind of action toward those desires to make them come true.  Let's look at if you are trying to camp and you are going to cook something.  You might have some charcoal bricks and lighter fluid to grill something.   To get that fire going you need to light some matches or take some kind of action to achieve your goal.   That is if you want a fire to cook something you have to initiate or take some kind of action to get it going.  You get the idea.   Want and action must both happen for this to occur.

Lastly let's look at the Water element.   This is a very confusing idea for a lot of people.   Water usually is comprehended when we take a bath or swim in a lake.  You can feel it.   Emotions are very much the same thing as you feel them.  Can you feel as if your goal or dream has already taken place?   You can take many paths to get to this feeling of the water element.  Let's look back at our job example.  Feel as if you got the job: feel the exhilaration - the emotions that come with getting your goal.   Really immerse yourself in that feeling.

Now, you can see the engine that drives many self improvement books out there.   In just a few short paragraphs, I have summarized numerous books and websites on the subject.  To get something you must know everything about your goal.  Know, or at least imagine, what your goal might look like, sound like, feel to the touch, taste (if it has a taste) or smell (if it has that).  You should be able to put the goal into words - take the time to write that down in a notebook or log.   You should really want that goal and take steps to getting it.  Lastly, try to imagine the feeling you get from achieving your goal.
