Changes, Changes, Changes…..

Personal life as well as the paranormal field is always changing and evolving… at least it should be.   When we all first started our journey into forming what became the Midnight Watchmen we were young and ready to explore. Over the years since then we’ve lost a few members to life changes, divorce, kids, marriage, money/time. The para field or hobby isn’t cheap, travel costs-place costs-lost time for cases and meetings. It takes it toll on us all!  I’ve never told any members not to put their family first, as if we can’t take care of our selves how are we going to help those who come to us?

I’m still learning new things about digital photography, psychological how the mind works type stuff, website design and generally about people everyday. Its a fun hobby…. it really is so much fun! The history drives me… The EVP’s drive me…. Helping people drives me…. In the end isn’t that whats important? Helping people and the need to learn ‘What’s out there?” I love seeing what happens next – ride continues my friends.

Change is inevitable except from maybe a vending machine… so take it when it comes.

Peace,

Are Spirits Really Just Harmonic Vibrations?

great-pyramid-sphinxSome days my mind is like walking through a fun house full of mirrors, at the carnival, on acid. I take in information from all sorts of places and tend to just regurgitate it out in some form or another, rarely taking the time to put it down into words. I ask you all to follow me down this twisted little path and gain a little glimpse at the mad house inside my mind.

Let me first state that I am a person who believes in realms and dimensions that we cannot see, touch, hear, understand, or comprehend. I firmly believe that a lot of the knowledge we are stumbling across has already been conceived of and thought through. I buy into the theory that mankind has suffered some cataclysmic event that has shifted us away from the knowledge we once had. The evidence is all around us, you just have to connect the dots.

Different cultures have different views, religions, and beliefs. I find it astonishing how closely these different cultures all tie things together on a basic level, but that’s another story for another time. When it comes to my thought process, I look at knowledge like a giant ball of yarn. Everything I could ever want to learn is just sitting there in front of me, all tangled up. I sit before all those ends like a kitten, waiting to pounce on one and wrestle it free as I continue trying to untangle the giant knot.

The latest thread I’ve been tugging at is what spirits may be. Everyone has, or has heard of, a story where someone has seen a visual specter or ghost. What could it be? Ectoplasm? Energy? I’ve been toying with the notion that spiritual manifestations may be harmonic resonance. How have I arrived at this theory? Egyptian documentaries, and a healthy lust for the paranormal, these are the culprits that I blame.

I was watching a seven part documentary on Netflix called “The Pyramid Code.” As you can probably guess, it dealt with Egypt. I am fascinated with Egypt, and if you actually stop to pay attention to their culture I think that you would be fascinated with it as well. The Egyptian priests were their equivalent of scientists, they possessed all their sacred knowledge. They put this knowledge into books known as the book(s) of the dead. I know, cryptic Hollywood references abound, but it’s true. How fascinating can this be? The current formula that we use for asphalt is derived from a partial formula that we found in the parts of the book of the dead that was recovered and translated. That’s right, I said “part” of the formula. The Egyptians were making asphalt far before we were, and they were making it far better. Their culture is littered with things like this. One more quick example? The Baghdad Battery, google it, it’s amazing.

So, this documentary explains that the Pyramids are built with two different kinds of stone. The bulk of the pyramid is built from a type of granite that is conductive, as in energy. The single outside layer of stone is different, and is not conductive. This means the outer layer of the Pyramid was effectively a dampening shield. The pyramid is designed with a chamber that runs straight into the ground like a “ground wire.”

Quick geology lesson, many many years ago the Nile used to be right in front of the Pyramids. The Pyramids are built on top of Limestone, which is very porous. One of the great features of the Nile was that it flooded very predictably every year; A lot of Egyptian life was based on this cyclical flood, great poems were conducted about it. The water that floods, would seep into the ground stone and become absorbed through the ground chamber. This would store into the giant Pyramid and build a charge, current physicists know little about this area of expertise, it is called Subtle Energy. That is to say that the pyramids sit on a magnetically convergent zone that amplifies the energy that naturally occurs in this world, a lot of world sites are planted on them such as the Incan remnants, bermuda triangle, and the cone of silence in Mexico.

So, you have a highly advanced culture that builds these gigantic freaking structures on a magnetic hotspot for a natural energy convergence point….by accident? How highly advanced is this culture? The Egyptians have a glyph that translates to mean “String Theory” or the quantum theory that is currently coming in to favor that we are not built from circles, but spirals that vibrate from energy and magnetics. This is not a great definition of string theory, but it’ll serve its purpose. The point is, that the Egyptians have a glyph for it and our scientists are just starting to ponder these questions.

The documentary quotes that Steven Hawkins claims there are over 200 unique particles in the Universe, the Dogun (tribe in Africa) priests will tell you there are 266. The Egyptians were obsessed with Death, not necessarily dying…but Death. Their mummification process still baffles modern scientists. So these Pyramids that they built, also happen to be harmonically tuned to different frequencies. Obelisks, the giant structures back in the day, were made from quartz, a crystal that has some amazing powers. Imagine if the Pyramids stored the energy that it created, then expunged it out of their meticulously aligned shafts, and used the Obelisks as WIFI to spread the signal across the globe. Harmonically retuning mankind, towards what ends? Enlightenment? Ascension? I have no idea, but it got me thinking.

I imagine the human mind as a kind of quantum computer, meaning that it functions here and on some other “plane” as well. As creatures who share genetic material that can only be found in the sun RNA, I believe we are genetically unique. I’m not so sure this physical body is really what we’re trapped in, I almost imagine it to be like a carbon suit of armor, and the brain as a sort of wireless hot spot that we tap into. Once we get hit with the right frequency/wavelength we come alive and do the most amazing things as humans. We are alive from energy, and you cannot create nor destroy energy, so what happens when we die?

Following the string theory, imagine if all our of “spirit” was put into a giant pool. You can call this pool whatever you want, but I’m going to refer to it as a universal Gestalt. When we’re born, a small piece of this Universal Gestalt imparts its energy imprint/knowledge into a carbon shell, kind of like hitting a tuning fork and sending it off on its way. When the physical tuning fork is removed, the harmony still resonates without it; The waves continue to ripple. I imagine that not all harmonies are created equal, the impact of certain people are just naturally greater on the world around us. Some people may leave behind larger ripples in the pond than others.

As this ripples collide, maybe they resonate against the physical world. Maybe these are the orbs we see in photographs, harmonic residue that collides and excites the dust particles in the air so that they vibrate and appear in photographic imaging. Want to see something neat? Google pictures of orbs near the Pyramids. The area is literally flooded with orbs at certain times. Imagine ghosts are more concentrated ripples, or maybe their large ripples in smaller corners of the pond that violently smash against the barrier.

This does not explain how some people interact with spirits, this does not explain many things. I do however think that it raises some interesting questions and theories. If spirits were harmonic ripples, it would explain why EVP’s pick them up much better than anything else. The human ear is a poor substitute in comparison to a sensitive microphone. Music, notes, harmony, these all play a large role in the world around us. Everything around us is connected, in ways we cannot begin to imagine. Once you start to unravel one knot, it leads to another knot, and this leads to another knot, and such is the descent into madness. The first step of a perilous journey, but perhaps it’s one we all must take. I thank you for walking this far with me, maybe some day soon we’ll continue down the path and see where it goes.

I’m Alive

Diablo Cow King

It’s funny how when you look back on your life and think “how did I get here?”,  or maybe more importantly what led me to this point. The highs, the lows… all part of what defines us. I’m thankful for what I have whether its slim pickings or when I feel like a rich man. Some personal issues lately have led me to retrace my life choices.  I thought is there one defining moment that led me to become a paranormal investigator and how has that choice changed/challenged me?

As far back as I can remember Ghostbusters of course caught my attention, but its not that simple. Shows like In search of…., Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World, Unsolved Mysteries captivated me, hell any mystery always has.  Even though some of the shows were outdated even as I discovered them in the 80’s, they had a impact to opening my mind to what ifs.  I remember one of the first books I read by choice was a ghost story one my  dad had. I also remember digging through his book collection for other books on what i’d later refer to as paranormal, found a few that I still have today (Shh, don’t tell… lol).

As a kid I dreamed of becoming a “Ghostbuster” lol to the point that flash forward to my Uncle’s Chet’s funeral that my cousin made the comment something to the effect that I followed my dream.  I had to laugh because i’m not quite busting ghosts, but I could be called a parapsychologist in the vein of Dr. Venkman…

I’ve been trying to hard my whole life to not forget where I come from, where I’ve been or who has influenced me. Part of me is still that shy kid who grew up in Hatfield, Pa. The other part is the one that has talked at Delaware Valley College doing lectures on the paranormal.  I keep saying to myself i’d never have thought this possible when I started and that is true. I can be very quiet which is funny because at times I won’t shut up… those who know me well have seen that first hand (both good and bad).

I guess the point of my rambling is that one never knows what is next in life. You only fail at life by not trying.  I’ve been through per verbally heaven and hell in the last 6 months, but only thing constant has been my drive to follow my dream.  It started as all I wanted to be is a Ghostbuster, then morphed into actually becoming a Ghost Hunter exploring local haunts and legends,  eventually starting this website to document what we found, then stepping up to a Paranormal Investigator and starting www.paranormaldictionary.com.  Now… well that’s fun part…. because I don’t know whats next…. And while G.I. Joe taught me “knowing is half the battle”, the excitement of seeing what happens next and who i’ll meet that’ll change & challenge me is the other half….

Paranormal…. Wrestling?

Wrestling's - "4 Horsemen"
Wrestling’s – “4 Horsemen”
Paranormal's - "Fort Worth Paranormal"
Paranormal’s – “Fort Worth Paranormal”

I’m sure the title of this has royally either has you interested or turned off but bear with me as the world of “professional wrestling” and the paranormal are not that far off… Again i’m sure some of you reading this are going “WTF!!! Are you crazy?”, while I admit that it may not be far off it will make sense in  a few just stick with me.

Paranormal and Wrestling probably seem totally different to most people, but in reality and with a closer investigation will tell you otherwise…. Both Wrestling and Paranormal have a huge fan base and followers! That is the simple and easy to see part now lets dig deeper, shall we?  There is always another rock layer to be found to any thought process….

In wrestling you have huge promotions that used to be regionally based, for example the  North East region was PA up to NY areas and South West was  like southern California areas.  Paranormal groups to have regions too… We have groups that are “bigger” like T.A.P.S. is mostly New England area, SJGR is Philly/NY/NJ areas and beyond, etc. Now Nothing is stopping any group wrestling or paranormal form doing their thing in other areas they are just more based out of these areas and have a stronger presence in their home “turf”.  Paranormal is starting to become the same way groups are getting bigger with lots of local ones and a few regional ones.

Stables in wrestling were powerful groups that joined together to cause havoc or save the day… We have that in the paranormal as well with larger groups like TAPS Family or Ghost Adventures Crew, which “unites” smaller paranormal groups with the more well known team.

Wrestling has the legends that came before the current superstars, paranormal has the same thing. Wrestling list is long.. Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Freddie Blassie, Andre The Giant, etc. Paranormal has John Zaffis, Harry Houdini,  Hans Holzer, etc. They’ve influenced what came next as the new generation will do the same endless cycle.

Now the for me the most important similarity… Whats seen/perceived by people and whats actually happening on TV/SHOW/INVESTIGATION! Wrestling plans out the event/show like like the paranormal does for its investigation/hunt. What’s seen on TV is not everything that happened which is true for both. There is behind the scenes things in the wrestling and paranormal that do not make the “air” so to speak.  Setting up how the match “works” for wrestling and the true review for paranormal investigations/hunts.

In the end their are allot of similarities between wrestling and the paranormal, maybe that’s why SYFY has both wrestling and paranormal shows… or maybe its just a decision to make the most money.. .who knows its a business…. And we all know business’ make some unique choices to stay on top… hey so do paranormal groups…. well that thought might be for another blog… another day….

Peace,
