"I've written an article, about HOW the Cthulhu The Movie Theme Music was, in fact
actually 'channeled', and some additional information on composing, horror films,
musical variations, and use of keyboards and computers ..."
This may well be the most unusual article written at www.astoriamovies.com, about the
'channeling' of origional music, but it's not alone ... fans of this website have read on
topics of using psychic ability in missing persons investigations, and mentions of the
Berkeley Psychic Institute, and my Mom's 'automatic writing' adventures as well.
Below is the origional article from 2000, about how, after decades of trying to suppress
my natural psychic ability, I finally decided to 'go with it', and see how far I could go
to develop it, as my mentor Major Ed Dames always did. I ended up, not to give away
the article below, into the areas of Remote Viewing, and other uses, like Stock Day
Trading ...
An Online Psychic Reader's Diary : www.psychicspy.org
** Cthulhu The Movie ** : I had been listening to many, many MIDI files downloaded from the
Internet, all Queen songs, but just the '0' track, or the Piano parts only ... I had marveled
at the innovations of the 'classical' music arranged into pop tunes. Only Barry Manilow has
in my opinion, achieved more complexity in Piano Music, especially with those amazing key
changes, and transitional bridge parts ...
In using the acoustic baby Grand Piano to play back those MIDI files, it's like having them
right in the room, since it's not a recording, but 'live' piano playing right in front of you ...
While I've had several Keyboard Synths and computers over the years, and recording
studio software, like Sound Forge XP, and Audacity, nothing quite compares to the use of
a real acoustic instrument, like the baby Grand, for playback! ( thanks PianoDisc )
Recently achieving the BI-directional MIDI capability for PianoDisc, which is how the MIDI
file at www.astoriamovies.com was uploaded, as well as sheet music made, I'm now fully
ready for large projects, like film scores ...
Oddly, I never studied the piano formally, instead from age 11 on, I played, every year in
school, in the Band, Marching Band, Stage Band or Orchestra, and eventually learned to
play several instruments, including Guitar. I'm sure all of my orchestration skills came from
those years as well ...
In the case of Cthulhu, it's channeled, like all of the origional music I 'compose' from
scratch. I've never been afraid of the meditative state associated with music, and have
always been able to come up with new musical ideas, just sometimes frustrated in my
lack of ability to 'play' what I hear in my mind's ear ...
I was quite 'open' for new ideas, and in a receptive state : I decided, after thinking
about all the MIDI music I was listening to, about sci-fi, and horror films specifically
as well as Freddie Mercury, and Cthulhu at the time. All of a sudden, I started playing
an origional piece I'm sure I hadn't heard before, although, as in a dream, I was
losing parts of it in the technicals of trying to play it - like trying to remember whatever
music you might have just heard, in a dream, upon awakening, it's half gone, and within
minutes, completely gone ...
Over the years I wrote an Apple II program to take singing, or whistling into a microphone
and do a frequency counter, and musical notation check and turn a stream of sound into
a pre-MIDI file, a file an analog music synthesizer could play back, like a player piano, in
an effort to 'save' those fleeting musical inspirations and melodies.
Even before the Apple II days, I had used tape recorders to try to save most of the 'new'
music melody inspirations I 'heard' for later use. In this case, all I needed was to pop a disk
into the PianoDisc and hit record. It's my technical work recently that allows me to take a
MIDI file from the acoustic piano, download and record it into a laptop music sequencer
program, run some note clean-ups, etc and generate an edited MIDI file that I can later
upload, or synthesize and record acoustically into a studio quality .wav or music CD, like
the cthulhu.mp3 file as www.astoriamovies.com is.
Since, as I mentioned later on in the webpage, the piano style is not like mine, but more
like Elton John, or even Jerry Lee Lewis - I know it's not 'my' mind generating the melodies.
Like someone struggling to play, for the first time, some new sheet music, as sight reading
once through - there is a slow learning curve to be able to actually play the melody in my
head, and 'get' all the parts before I quickly forget it. The diskette helps, only if I can
actually play it, and the more time spent, the less I'll remember of the parts ...
Like previous times, enough of it is saved, and I start the playing process, listening to what
I've recorded, and filling in, and doing arrangements of what I 'got' ... In doing a dozen
different variations, like what's done for background music for a Film Score, I can see if
any of the variations seem 'familiar' at all, sometime a clue to whether it's origional, or just
my mind subconsciously arranging something I've heard before ...
Cthulhu passed all the 'backtesting', and several impressions came to mind, as to what
it sounded a little like ... since I was surprised, and not expecting 'what I got', it's passed
the test for genuine psychic input, and origional ...
There were 'flavors' of the Addams Family Movie soundtrack, as well as general horror film
sound - some old time 'player piano', like heard live at silent movies, as well as one variation
was similar to a piano riff used as a non-melody background part of The Ring Two soundtrack
so I was satisfied that the horror/sci-fi, and Ring Two similarities meant it was the right style,
as well as the being origional even to a second derivation, or one of the dozen variations of
the melody. Success, based on a willingness, and being 'open', and thinking horror film, and
getting a playing style I'm unfamiliar with, and a flamboyance that I don't have in the music
I've written over the years ...
Freddie Mercury? I can't really say, but it's definately in Queen's style of music, and it's quite
unlike anything I've ever done before, so it meets my criteria, all that remains is to record
some of the other variations, test it against the movie trailer, and do some acoustic recording
and orchestration of other tracks - usually movie music is quite invisible at most times, and
understated. But something Cthulhu The Movie will need soon as it's coming upon the editing
months ... More to Come ...

UPDATED : CONFESSIONS OF A PSYCHIC
by 'radioman'
INTRODUCTION :
Since my 'quest' started 11 years ago at one of the East-West
Bookshops, followed by posted flyers, classes, and ultimately
meeting other psychics - I understand the value of books, and
am grateful for all those who have provided me with food for thought,
but at this time, with the Internet so available, I have no real desire
to publish anything, despite some 965 pps of text and some 1965
links on my website (PSYCHICSPY.COM), nor am I selling books,
tapes, videos, classes, seminars, or lectures - for the last
7 years I've been keeping a web 'journal' of my journey so that
others might be inspired to do the same ...
Remote Viewing is a small part of something older, Remote Sensing
and even Reverse Speech is 'Remote Hearing', or Clairaudient Psychic
Ability - and Medical Diagnosis, NUMBERS, even the Internet and searches
can be done by psychic means, despite what Ed Dames and others say ...
Joe McMoneagle was the closests with his 'future time shifting'/higher
self theory - it has worked for me for the last seven years ...
ORIGIONAL ARTICLE :
I have been asked to share some of my experiences about psychic
ability. I firmly believe that it is something that we all have in our
lives. It's been a lifelong ability for me, one that I've only come
to accept recently. As they say at the Berkeley Psychic Institute,
"You are not crazy, you're just psychic !"
Today I am a Reiki Master (III) an an Ordained Minister. I have
told some of these personal stories on the Internet before today.
I created the website PSYCHICSPY.COM, and have been using
psychic abilities to 'find' things for my News Service. My long
newsletter says that about 5% luck, 20% psychic ability, 25%
tools and 50% perserverance account for my success so far. I
won't discuss what I do on my site other than to say that Donna
Quinn and I have been friends for some years, and in addition to
some 1700+ links on my site, Donna and I became acquainted at
the time 'Strange Universe' aired, and I was adding hundreds of
'paranormal' links to my site. I am an independent researcher, and
a former electronics technician. Donna and I were both interested
in Reverse Speech back then ...
Looking back, it's odd to some that I've 'recently' become interested
in the Paranormal. Many know me from the Internet Resources I've
collected, or from my background in radio, electronics, or the press.
Usually I end up defending my interests with skeptics on the 'Net
and some think I've spent so much time researching the Remote
Viewing area that I now 'think' I'm psychic ;-)
Major Ed Dames once said, " ... A head shrink (he was hired as a
consultant) at CIA was tasked to study my military team, looking for
those criteria that 'make the best remote viewer' (CIA was very
covetous of the Army unit (Project Stargate, et all) in the early days
but, for political reasons, could not have its own, until virtually
nothing was left of the operational unit -- then it got the scraps).
After batteries and batteries of tests, the bottom line: there are no
key recognizable selection criteria. ( for remote viewers ) "
While I now believe that we all ALL psychic, early on in my life I
recognised that I had the 'gift' then, but was in total denial, to the
point of 'receiving' psychic warnings, totally ignoring them, even
to the point of doing the opposite, then experiencing the results.
My mom was the neighborhood version of 'Jeanne Dixon'. A good
Catholic, she had 'inherited' the psychic abilities from her family,
and was well known locally for giving 'advice'. This actually did
escalate to the point of a Jesuit priest being sent to investigate her
abilities, including 'automatic writing', where she would channel the
'Old Testament', in massive channeling sessions. While NONE of
her text ever differed even slightly in meaning from anything in the
Bible, particularly the Old Testament, yet word-for-word wise none
of what she wrote, in the manner that she wrote it, was ever IN the
Bible either. It was as if she was receiving 'dictation', as dizzying
speeds, usually with tears in her eye, writing feverously, sometimes
on the table as opposed to fresh paper, followed by the phrase,
"Well, what did I write ?" Sometime it was hard to make out the
exact words, but it was clear to me at an early age that she had no
knowledge of what she had just written ! A Jesuit priest was sent to
investigate her abilities. While he could not disprove that which he
had himself been a witness to, he was reluctant to file the official
paperwork on his results. He ended up taking a leave, and followed
up by leaving the Church. Mainly due to some personal conflicts in
his field, the issue of having to 'debunk' my mother's abilities proved
'too much' to ask, and he later thanked us for helping him make his
choice, indirectly, and coming to terms with his own faith !
While it's true that I never showed any signs of doing 'automatic
writing', I did show signs eventually of clairvoyance, clairaudience,
psi & general ESP, and telekinesis as a child - which may have made
my mother happy, but caused me great pain and conflict growing up
with my interest in Science and Engineering, and not wanting to be
particularly 'special' in any way. Since I tried for most of my life to
suppress these 'abilities', I have no idea how far I'd have come by
now if I had only been more open to all of it. So suppress, I did,
despite many 'psychic warnings' and precognitions into my early '20s
at regular intervals. At age 36 I had an early 'mid-life crisis' where I
was moving to another State, where no one knew me, or had even
heard of my family, and I realized that I could re-invent my past and
never let on anything about psychic ability if I wanted to. Of course
the experiences continue to this day, and I decided about 10 years
ago to accept the 'gift', and try to develop it furthur, which has in
fact caused some of the hardships my mother went through. In my
case, some local redicule where I now live, and having been made
an active suspect in a local FBI investigation for a day after some of
the psychic information I offered in a missing child/murder case here
was verified some 72 hours later after the FBI followed other leads to
the body of the missing child. If anyone wants to read more about the
incident, there is a lot more on my website specifically about this
case. I mention this as part of INTENT, which seems to be the first
and primary 'activator' of psychic ability. In this example, the whole
town was trying to find the girl, and I was a former member of the
local Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue Unit - seeing some
of my friends canvass the neighborhoods, as well as the entire town,
there was a lot of interest and INTENT in finding the girl then. I had
made a statement, which included some help of another one of the
remote viewers from the Internet. P. Hopkins, in Canada helped me
do another 'session' to recover even more data about the missing
girl before I went 'public' with what I had. I wanted to have some
corroborating evidence/data from a second viewer, who I contacted
through the Psi-Tech Chat Room, who helped me greatly understand
what I was 'getting'. My wife independently received additional info,
as a psychic herself, and warned me that the girl had been recently
deceased, and confused about what had happened to her. I only
offered what little I had, and, yes - she had met with foul play and
was deceased ! The girl's spirit was so strong and clear that I now
have some feedback as to what to 'look for' when trying to determin
whether a spirit is 'alive' in a body, or not. Feedback sessions played
a major role in training Military Remote Viewers, and as a newcomer
to some of this, I'm still learning. As Joe McMoneagle said, the data
is usually correct - how we choose to interpret it is what gives the
psychic a bad name ! In summary, some of my worst fears have been
realized, and this outcome shows why being an 'out of the closet'
psychic can be undesirable, and why I suppressed the ability for so
long. The good news, as explained in McMoneagle's MIND TREK
diary, is that there are possibilities for good, too, and you should try
to develop YOUR ability, with less worry about what 'other's will say',
or 'think'. Again, we ALL have these natural abilities to some degree,
and it's quite 'impossible' to 'turn it off' completely, as I had tried to
do for so long ... Today I am in contact with a national organization
made up of Police and Private Investigators who do their psychic
investigations for free, as a public service. I met recently someone
who did psychic investigation for the Hayward Police Department in
California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, who's only qualifications
were classes we had both taken at the Berkeley Psychic Institute
to develop our general abilities, not specific to missing persons ...
I also had realized that I have the additional ability, or natural
talent for psychometry : sensing information from a person's object,
such as a ring, while taking classes at the Berkeley Psychic Institute.
Usually I get more information about the artist who made the jewelery
than who recently wore it, sometimes to the extent of the actual
artist her/himself, the artist's tools, studio environment, even an
abusive spouce ... but that's another story. Suffice it to say that my
abilities went far beyond any classes/training I've ever had, and the
ability to relax, focus, ground and run 'energy', and 'open' one's mind
to 'input', in a meditative framework is all that you might ever be
taught. The psychic abilities, if positive, focused, and with INTENT,
will follow afterward, and may just surprise you ! As a licensed/bonded
Locksmith, I realize that lock picking is a good practice exercise for
one's telekinesis abilities, in that concentrating 'too hard', stressing,
or following a 'system' will result in failure -vs- visualizing the lock is
'already open', smooth, flowing, and effortless. Meditation will quiet
your mind from thoughts and worries, INTENT will open the door to
real 'input' data, and impatience, frustration, thoughts of 'silliness',
as well as skepticism will cause the 'door' to close, and you to fail
each and everytime ! The road to developing the Psi talents we all
have is long. There is much help from people on the Internet like
Ellie Crystal, and Joni Dourif from Psi-Tech. The networking use of
the Internet alone ( forums, chat rooms, e-mail, etc ) may save you
hours of searching writings like Edgar Cayce, or the Theosophical
Society, and hopefully website like mine, at www.psychicspy.com
may save you years of pinpointing resources on the Net as well.
After the last ten years, I have no real regrets, although having
done nation talk-show radio interviews, I'd prefer to remain out of
the spotlight these days, and teach and pass on what little I've found
learned, and accumulated so far. The truth IS out there, but the
drawback is that you have to want to look ... INTENT - there's
that word again ... Here are some more recent stories of mine, and
hopefully you will be excited enough to try some of these things
for yourself ... OR you can be afraid and say, "this might not be
for everyone ... ". Indeed ...
Psychic Medical Diagnosis : I had the opportunity to do a 'psychic
reading' on my dentist. There I was, in the chair getting worked on,
under mild anasthesia, feeling great, and relaxed, and looking at
'why' he has chronic neck 'pain'. Knowing that his MD hasn't any
answers, neither has a chiropractor, and he's tried massage, and
was inquiring to me about acupuncture, it appeared to be a chronic
stress/work related 'thing'. He grilled me about the benefits of some
different approaches to pain management, like acupuncture, and I
realized he's nearly ready to 'try anything' - and - he gave the needed
'permission' to find an answer. After looking at the situation, the clear
psychic medical impressions, as to the root CAUSE of the recurring
pain, was : "The neck pain is resulting from work-induced posture
problem caused by a PERCEIVED vision problem, not an ACTUAL
vision problem ..." After he recovered from the shock at seeing his
real 'picture', he admitted that new dentistry techniques has him
'scrambling' to always 'see' better while he works. The added mental
focus on 'seeing', as well as his posture straining needs to be helped
and corrected at the source - exactly how he chooses to do his work.
If done without the worry at the lack of 'seeing', the posture WILL
improve and pain disappear ... it's as simple as that. He had been
to many professionals, but none had correctly been able to define
the problem, or offer a suggestion as to a 'cure' ...
Is the psychic ability a 'time shift'? Here's a reply I made on a forum
about Joe McMoneagle's theory about 'time-shifting' and Remote
Viewing. I've been digging deeply into the history of RV'ing , and am
currently a TRV student of Major Ed Dames program at Psi_Tech ( ex
-DIA STARGATE Program ). Some of my success at finding the things
that 'cannot be found' results from luck, intuition, winsock tools, and
Programmer's Techniques. When using Search Engines, I have found
a way to reduce, by psychic means, the huge number of results to a
few critical ones worth investigating. I contend that 'Psychic Surfing'
is an offshoot of Remote Viewing, and Remote Sensing, and the whole
Time-Shifting idea of McMoneagles makes a great deal of sense, as
much as external spirit guides who pass on information as well. Joe Mc
Moneagle suspected he was doing a 'future time' shift, and that he says
accounts for his abilities. In MIND TREK, his book, he even gave a
few examples of how he did time-shifted Remote Viewing outside the
protocols, and was 100% accurate, but in the wrong 'time'. I tend to
agree with that - our 'Higher Self', seems to 'light up' with a DeJaVu
excitement when we first find something seemingly meaningless. I do
that with hundreds of Search Engine results on the 'Net. I 'see' one or
two items, at first meaningless and ordinary, that I somehow 'know'
later on, in time, will be quite a find for my website. I used to do those
last, now I do them first and save looking at the other 98 links for
every hundred search results, because I know that, in some future
time, that I will be excited about that 'find', even though at-the-time
it's seemingly random and meaningless. McMoneagle uses that very
approach as a professional Juror Selector too. Like looking for the
one CD on the shelf that 'glows' brighter than all the others - the
'finds' can actually jump out at you, and McMoneagle seems to have
had that ability to slightly 'time shift' before ANY of hi remote viewing
training ! Keep in mind here I'm talking about a 'gestalt', or general
impression, or DeJaVu. While I get audible and visual 'data' sometime
in this case it's a 'yes/no' pick on a total 'direction', whick makes
zero sense if I had to justify why I picked this over that ... Joe Mc
Moneagle goes on to talk about the 'higher self', or 'soul' as the
source of all this. It's possible that 'we' are telling ourselves things
in the past, or from a greater 'dimension'. Yet this doesn't need to
exclude God, Angels, or Spirit Guides either. There are 'many voices'
out there. Some are easier to 'hear' than others ...
Remote Viewing Richard C. Hoagland : Tue Mar 9 14:34:12
Here's an example, like the missing child case, where INTENT, and
the focus of hundreds of people simultaneously helped ...
"Last night ( Monday ) I heard the announcement on Art Bell's
show , and promptly turned the radio off to persue a new 'remote
sensing' session - data follows :"
"I saw Richard in a special area as of 3/8/99 around 10:30 PM
PST. It was not a room, nor an ICU ward. It appeared to be a
surgical prep area. (?) Richard was on a gurney, with some life
support,most noticeably a nasal tube. The area was small and
cramped. There was a large white dividing curtain, as if a small
'holding area'. He was not conscious, perhaps under anasthesia,
or comatose. He was NOT deceased, but low life signs. The scene
did not reflect massive life-support machinery. His medical chart
had a paper in the front. All I could 'view' was TOXICOLOGY
REPORT ... I could not glean any more details."
"According to the website, surgery was planned for today. I
believe that is not the case. I believe emergency surgery began
last night, as the only explanation I could achieve for what I
'saw'. Again, he was still alive at that time. I believe details since
last night are being witheld. As in the case of the missing girl,
it seems more is going on than we are told."
"I'll leave it at that. I was told by a medical source this
morning that a toxicology report is standard procedure
right before surgery. It does not necessarily imply any
sinister 'conspiracies' as to introduced 'toxins' that may
have caused a heart attack ... "
"In all fairness, it was probably a test to evaluate any possible
allergic reactions to anasthesia, or other elements to be
introduced. Conclusions, are that surgery has likely already
taken place as of last night, and he didn't look too good."
In another story, here's an example of what happened in my own child-
hood. Usually it was something like not going out, because of an
ambulance was going to pass by in 5 minutes, or hesistating because
a long-distance phone call was coming in a few minutes, etc. What
follows here is a recent experience which was a quite useful kind of
a 'warning' I was not expecting :
"Two days ago, while parked in front of the Post Office, I heard a
'voice'. (NOTE : I have a lifelong record of clairvoyance, clairaudient
ability ...) The voice said : "Don't get into the car ...". I turned around,
after hearing that so clearly, to who might have been standing behind
me. There was no one there ... again, "Don't get into the car ..."
"This time, with no one around, I recognized the voice as my own,
inside my head, same as you might experience when reading something
to yourself, quietly, not aloud - the 'imaginary' voice we all have inside
our heads, usually in our own speaking voice. My reaction ... ahh,
bologna ! I continued fumbling around pockets for the keys, and
thinking, oh well ... wonder where that came from ... Then I 'heard' :
"Don't get into the car ..." . Why I think ? then, came the only thing
that I would respect then, an explanation, "The car WILL be hit ..."
"from behind", and "there will be NO damage ..."
"Weird - not my usual psychic abilities, nor a spirit guide, but a
warning nonetheless. Time for all this : less than a minute. I looked
around, hesitating, expecting to see a racing car from around the
corner. I even had time to walk halfway to the corner and look ...
I'm on the sidewalk ... nothing, and no one moving when I began to
notice that about ten feet behind me, as I had stood next to the
car door again, there is a little old lady in her small station wagon.
She is trying to start her engine ... her car is now 'drifting' forewards -
this is it, I suppose. She has her head between her knees ... is she ill ?
Did she drop her keys ? Her car starts ... good, I think - brakes don't
work without power, usually these days. She continues to drift foreward
... I try to wave my arms, get her attention - collision emminent, even
at 0.5 MPH. She looks up a couple times, keeps drifting foreward
nearly a car length now. Do I yell ? She seems unresponcive. I look
around, no pedestrians."
"I have the time to actually jump in the Jeep, start it and drive off -
she'll just hit the car in front of me ... her speed is gradually increasing.
What do I do ? Thank God I'm not at the rear hatch, between the two
vehicles. I'm watching the area for passing pedestrians, wanting to
'warn' anyone else crossing to not be behind the vehicle that I'm still
standing next to. Time seems incredibly slow in passing, as if I'm in a
sort of 'hyper-time', where I think 10 minutes has passed, but only a
minute or two, at the most, has elapsed ... I then consider that my
knocking on her windshield, as a warning - unfortunately a bad idea,
since she might actually become startled and perhaps hit the gas
pedal - that would be worse ! This is it ... seconds slowly moving that
seem like hours, her car drifting, drifting, then ... bam ! Yes, the car
was hit, from behind, and, yes there was NO damage at all. She 'woke'
up, startled ... I checked both bumpers - nothing. The transmission of
the Jeep, in park, was undamaged ... she apologised profusely. I'm
glad no damage was done and no one was hurt. Also glad I avoided
the 'jarring' I would have had if I had been behind the wheel ..."
"There you have it ... could I have done anything differently ? Don't
think so. She was in good 'command' of her vehicle as she drove
away, and I left also to go to the office ...still ... When you get a
message - a psychic one, what do you do ? After a lifetime of
deliberately ignoring them, and then seeing the consequences, I
have taken all of them quite seriously for the past 10 years or so,
and persued psychic traing via the Berkeley Psychic Institute,
among other places. Could it be my 'higher self' ? Angels ? Guides ?
Myself in the future - as McMoneagle says ? Perhaps - but to
ignore warnings is criminal. We all get them, some from dreams,
some 'visual', some 'audible', some just 'knowing' ... PLEASE keep
an open mind - the Universe just might have a message for YOU !"
As a final story, the "Psychic '50s Drive In" : I was travelling past
Hood River, Oregon, and caught sight of an old, origional '50s type
"Drive In" Diner, so old in fact, it may have been built way back
in the late 1940's. We had stopped at a rest room, and I was looking
at this old Diner, and in particularly, it's large sign pilar. I commented
that the name had been changed from the origional. "Why?", she
said ... "See the shape, it's large, like a Bob's Big Boy, or a Dairy
Queen - the lettering, while old, doesn't fill up the entire sign width.",
I said. "Want to eat there ?", she said, knowing that I was having
some sort of psychic experience about this place across the street.
"Sure", I said. We parked next to it, and entered the diner. As we
approached the front counter, something was 'wrong'. We sat and
were handed menus. The place was clean, repainted several times,
but it was obvious it was origionally there a long time - a working
diner, not a 'restoration project', or a re-creation of a bygone era.
Again, I felt 'funny' sitting there at the counter, and she said, "Do
you get any impressions from being in here ?". I was getting many,
which is odd because I never 'do' that sort of thing, but flooding in
was a lot of information, and I really wasn't sure of the current day,
or even the year. She was enjoying my situation, and said to relax
and try to deliberately do a 'reading', and 'see what I get ..." Well,
a lot of things, perhaps real, past time, or imagined flooded through,
but I had to ask about the counter. It was an "L" shape, with the
main section running lengthwise, and the turned part, where we were
sitting, at a 90% angle. "I don't think we should be sitting here", I
said. "Why", she asked. "Because I feel that this counter shouldn't
be 'here' ", I replied. After being served our burger and fries, I asked
about the 'floor plan'. The waitress, who had been there years said
that, yes, the place had been remodeled, but many years ago. By
now we seemed to be drawing a small crowd of employees. I asked
if this counter was 'new'. "It was added in the '60s during a major
remodel", the waitress said. I told her that origionally the counter had
stopped where it turned, and that we were eating in the kitchen area
a place where we 'weren't supposed to be'. "What was here ?", she
asked. "A large fridge was here in this corner, next to a smaller type
of refridgerated cabinet, like a pie shelf, display food storage area",
I said, wondering if she thought that I had been there many years ago.
Never having been there, she asked, "what else ?" I said that there
was an electrical box under this new additional counter, in the corner
where the Fridge plugged in ... "This counter", she said, "was added
back in that '60's remodel to make more customer space". "If you look
carefully at this counter top, it doesn't exactly match the red color of
the origional counter there", she added. I hadn't noticed, but was
relieved that the counter we were sitting at 'wasn't there' before ! We
mentioned that I was an 'amateur psychic', which fairly ended the talk
about the restaurant, with more food orders waiting. I really began to
look and saw that the backs of appliances were facing me, and that
the origional entrance was on the other side, and the table and the
counter areas were added to a smaller building even earlier. My own
impressions seemed 'on target' so far. Later on I was able to visualise
someone named 'Tony', who was a daily visitor who was later offered
a job there, either as a janitor, part time cook, or something. It seemed
that everyone liked Tony, and it was a '50s hangout, complete with a
working Juke Box and all. 'Tony', as I think he was called, had always
parked in the other lot, in the second parking space. That was 'his'
parking space, and no one else ever parked there when he wasn't
there. Tony was a few years older than High School age of most of
the patrons back in the '50s that I was seeing. His car was especially
a 'prize' - a converted Model A 'Street Rod', with a custom engine,
quite valuable even then. Usually some of the other 'Rods' parked near
or next to his car, from the second space from the end down towards
the middle, in the front. I never saw who the number one space did
belong to, but I think Tony, out of respect for the diner owner, never
wanted to park there, so I saw it as vacant, with the rest of the odd
'pecking order' of frequent cars, most of them not 'hot rods' parking
furthur down the lot. It was clear many thought of this as 'Tony's
Place', but I had no particular impressions if he ever became an owner
later on, or had moved away. It was as if I was viewing one day in past
time, and the impressions of the guys and gals who frequented the
hang-out. Remember that 'Tony' was one of the draws here, and while
I can't rule-out some 'past life' information, I did get such strong and
vivid impressions, it almost seemed like memories, yet I was a very
young child in the early '50s, so it wasn't any of "my" memories, I am
sure of. The more I tried to 'fill in the blanks', the more impressions
that I got. It differed from an old episode of "Happy Days', in that it
was 'real', not stylized, and that items like the 'number two parking
space', the electrical box, and fridge, etc. could not have been taken
from an observation of a remodeled sign, or a 'newer' counter that didn't
match the origional color. While the story about 'Tony' could have been
imaginary, I can usually tell if my thoughts begin to follow a Hollywood
script, or constantly surprise me with things I am 'not thinking about'
at the time ... Remember my initial impressions are what started all of
this embarrasment for me, and while I'm sure I was just another of a
long line of 'entertaining customers' in the restaurant's history, I felt
quite sure of the information at the time. Upon leaving, all literally
returned to normal, and I left whatever 'time warp' I may have entered
even momentarily. On my website, there is a similar story about a short
three day visit to Sedona, AZ, and how years later I compared some
of what I sensed to what another couple had experienced there too.
These things seem to come 'without asking', and are vivid. Usually
my INTENT is what decides if it's just a passing DejaVu thought, or
there is a 'flooding' of information that follows. Time seems to change
it's 'running', and I seem to 'know' when something important is 'up'.
In the case of the Diner, yes, it's still there today, and the more of
these experiences I have, the more I realize that the impressions that
are the most 'vivid' may involve deceased spirits, or those no longer
'here' in present time. I believe the 'spirit' of Tony might actually be
haunting that Diner, and I'd bet that others get similar information to
what I 'received' as well ... I hope these stories will be a source of
encouragement to you to 'try' your own natural abilities, to begin
to experiment, and develop. If nothing else, it may help calm any
fears you may have had in your lifetime with things that seem to
be 'unexplained' ...
In closing, I should mention that a lot of education is now available
through the Internet. Dozens of Remote Viewing Schools, classes
from various psychic disaplines, and even on-line psychic readings
and tarot card readings too. Software exists to test for PSI and
ESP, in predicting future events from truly random selections. And
don't forget all that research from Russian ESP/Parapsychology in
the '70's, through Project Stargate and the latest in university
research. Don't forget networking, chat rooms, e-mail, and some
newsletters too. In this time of the 'New Age', it's as easy to get
free psychic training as to find satellite photos of Area 51 - it's all
out there on YOUR internet. Don't overlook that unusual person
in your town as well - the are still hundreds of stories which never
get told, printed, or placed on the Internet. All of us have some built
in ESP, hunches, and 'vibes' ... the good news is that we are all
psychic too !

ARTICLE UPDATE :
Here are two more recent stories in the continuing journal of
psychic experiences ...
On Waco, Texas :
I was on a chat-room discussing general things last Saturday,
and someone named "TwoKnives" dropped in. He knew the lady I
was talking to, and had been following our 'psychic' conversation
for a while. It had been discussed that I had registered my website
as a 'news service' and had added Ordained Minister to my credentials,
as the topic had centered on psychics and law enforcement that day.
My friend and I were quite absorbed in the topic, and I was giving
her a 'reading' over the internet when 'TwoKnives' said hello ...
Being in a 'reading state of mind', I was aware that he wanted to
say something. I sensed a familiarity, and he told me that he was a
minister as well. My friend left after telling me that I used the
chat-room as an excuse, and I wasn't there to 'spread gossip', but to
'find direction', and other spiritual purposes, under the guise of 'chat'.
TwoKnives answered that he would again be working on rebuilding the
church this weekend. He seemed to want some reaction from me. I told him
that I wasn't aware of his project, nor did I know where his website was.
We exchanged website URLs and knowing my chat program would save that
web address, I told him I'd look at it later on. I sensed that he wanted
a 'reading', so I began ...
I told him I saw a 'community center' rather than a church. He assured me
that it actually WAS a church they were rebuilding. I added that it either
would be a 'focal point for the community' a 'meeting place' and more
than just a traditional church. He seemed pleased, but offered no details.
I added that he was discouraged lately. He agreed, and I said that 'soon'
that there would be a great deal of interest in his church. He said that the
town was 'gone', and the only remaining building was part of this church, so
they were rebuilding it from there. I said that I lived in a remote part of
Oregon, and I could sympathise with small local 'projects'. Again, he added
nothing. Seemed 'TwoKnives' might be a Native American, but I would be just
guessing from his 'handle'.
I went on to assure him that there would be great interest in this re-
built church, from people OUTSIDE his local community, and that in addition
there would be outside funds becoming available too. He seemed more
encouraged, and admitted that working on the construction was somewhat
depressing without too many 'helpers' and supplies. I again 'saw' quite
clearly, a 'community center', a 'focal point' for those who live near
there, and that something good would result from all their efforts - and
they would not be unappreciated ...
Later I checked out the website :
http://skyhouse/home.texas.net/waco.html
( which is now www.rebuildthechurch.com )
I was very surprised to see that the site of this rebuilt church, is the
Dividian property, in Waco, Texas, and the photos nearly show his
description that 'nothing remained' of the town, just part of the church
building. It was THE place destroyed in WACO, TX that we all saw on TV
news after the tradgedy ... the news item is that the church, and the town
there are being rebuilt, with donations from around the world, according to
their website. Small world ...
Psychic Car Diagnosis : January 2000
My wife's 1969 Cadillac Convertible just arrived from Arizona
and I had done some general maintainance on it - the usual
stuff, when we realized that the convertible top didn't work.
The car dealer assured us it was a new top, and we wondered
if there was something damaged in transport to Oregon. More
likely, like some of the other mechanical problems, it hadn't
worked in some time honestly. I consulted the Internet, as an
'oracle' and discovered there were problems with small motors
used for electric windows moving a huge convertible top. Logic
implied the motors were the problem. A mechanic friend did
suggest that there was a relay which actually enabled the motor
and swapped motor windings to reverse motor direction. Also
that there was possible an inline fuse, or fusable link which
would fail if the convertible top ever got stuck ... so the quick
search of available information suggested that a proper way
to troubleshoot the system, since the car had a new battery
just installed, was to start at the rear, checking fuses, wires,
motors and relays and working toward the front of the car ...
My psychic 'take' said 'NO', and I began to completely
disassemble the dashboard, removed - without testing - the
directional dashboard switch and cables assemble, THEN
used a multimeter ( borrowed ) to test the switch - which
was completely dead. I replaced it with a $6.00 switch and
reassembled it all and the convertible top works correctly on
the classic car. There was no particular reason to begin to
take apart the dashboard to remove the switch, other than
'it seemed the right thing to do' - I even later took it apart
to verify the failure, and determin it's polarity function to
find a proper replacement. The Psychic Ability again scores
a success - a repair shop would probably not found it so
easily, or began replacement without any prior testing ...
In short, psychic 'hunches' work !
