Magic Monday

[ecosophia]

It's getting on for midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will likely just be deleted.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here

 I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button above to access my online tip jar. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here. 

 

I've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain other gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I now have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online. 

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.

With that said, have at it!

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

I'm sure you've noticed how hard they've begun pushing the UFO narrative, making sure it gets out to everyone from Aunt Karen to Deplorable Cousin Bob by promoting it on both CNN and Fox News.

Other than covering up experimental aircraft, do you have any thought on what's going on? They seem really determined to make sure everyone hears about it... just as Covid is beginning to fade into the background. And the really funny thing is, I know a lot of weirdos, but I don't know anyone who's buying it. I watched the Pentagon shills on 60 Minutes for less than 60 seconds and went "No f*in' way, if this was some dude with a camcorder that's been living in the middle of the Oregon woods for the last 4 decades, maybe, but these guys are flat out liars." Is disbelieving in aliens about to become the next Racist Conspiracy Theory?

On the one hand, the US Navy is clearly testing something in a hurry, and using the UFO schtick in the usual way to cover it up. On the other, I suspect they need a distraction in a hurry to try to divert attention from the assorted mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of the establishment. It fascinates me, though, that they're being so clumsy about it. They were much more competent in 1947.

The really weird thing, as I see it, is that a lot of people have used the "everybody has a camera in their pockets" trope these days to dismiss things like Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Loch Ness monster, etc. (which of course makes some sense if those entities are partly or wholly etheric, since phone cameras don't take etheric pictures). Where, then, are all the cell-phone pictures of UFOs?

[ecosophia]

Well, there's that! I mentioned it in my book on UFOs, and you know as well as I do that none of the very few reviewers touched that at all...

[brenainn]

This brings a question to my mind: do you know of any decent, credible sources that discuss US military research into, and use of, the occult?

[ecosophia]

No. I knew a retired general who was heavily involved in that during his Army career -- he was actually one of the Gnostic bishops who consecrated me -- and he could bend a spoon psychically like nobody else I've ever seen. I don't know of any well-researched sources, though. Anyone else?

Unfortunately not. I do however know from first-hand experience that the FBI also has done some research into parapsychology though.

[ecosophia]

I think pretty much everybody has.

Wait, what? He could do for-real URI Geller moves? My recollection of discussions about telekinesis here is that they were never convincingly demonstrated. Only thing I've seen directly is the MIT pendulum experiment that was still ongoing online until a few years ago...

[robertmathiesen]

Pretty much anyone can learn to do what Geller did with bending spoons, IF--BIG IF--you can provide your own prepared spoons for the trick--or you are good enough at sleight-of-hand to substitute your spoons for the ones provided--or you are good enough at misdirection of attention that you can gimmick the provided spoons on the spot (it only takes a few minutes, tops). I assume our host knows all that, and knows how that trick is done; and that he's saying he saw the General bend spoons which he didn't have a chance to gimmick.

Coincidentally[?--ha!], we're also just now seeing renewed public discussion of the cause(s) of the so-called "Havana Syndrome." That always seemed to me to be caused by some fairly advanced new military technology, which was developed by some other nation and tested by it on US diplomatic and military personnel (since about 2015). My first guess as to that other nation would Russia rather than China. If so, then counter-measures that could be effectively deployed against that vast nation would probably be a matter for the US Navy working in (or rather, underneath the surface of) the Arctic Ocean. Whole lotta ocean-based testing going on, methinks ...
