Paranormal Phenomena As Divine Revelation (Part 2)

 
What seems to be happening with the popular pastimes of screen entertainment, concerts and stage productions, novels, etc. is that people are searching for some type of experiential or vicarious novelty.  How sad it is, then, that throughout the ages people sharing their metaphysically revelatory experiences have often been unjustifiably repudiated.  A person socially oriented to habitually being entertained may never think about giving one's attention to spiritual development and overlooked dispensations.  The commercial mass media promotes a social consciousness reflecting a materialistic orientation toward the meaning of life, success and happiness.  The channeled entity Yada Di Shi'ite is quoted in a 1979 case study book:

To those of you who have never witnessed a so-called spirit communicating through an entranced body, be assured your wonderment is due mostly because your teachings have not been in that direction.  So it is very difficult to comprehend.  Sometimes it is even frightening, awesome.  Religious teachers have let man believe there is something called the supernatural.  This means we should be very awed if not downright frightened about a condition we do not understand. 
 
Were it not that religion bases its whole system on the belief in the supernatural, there could be no religion.  It is not only the Christian that holds with this, but every religion is based on the supernatural.  
 
There is nothing supernatural anywhere in existence.  And when I say existence I do not mean alone the physical world for the physical world is but a shadow of the real world.  It is an externalized image.  When we do not know this we believe the reverse.
 

Many people, masses of people, the whole human race go around with the eyes open and it appears that they are awake.  They're not!  They are aware only of their little outside dream and hoping it will be as they emotionally expect it to be.  They are not awake!  These are the living dead!  All of us must come up out of that state.  By degrees we come out of our dream into a greater state of reality.  Those that leave the physical structure in what is called death, enter a plane called the astral.  The majority enter only what is called the low-level astral plane.  Are these planes stacked up out there like chips?  No!  They are merely states of awareness of this or that human being which he has taken with him as gathered on this earth plane.  Right here in this room, my friends, there are various astral levels.

Many people seem to have no idea about how and where to achieve enlightenment.  Throughout the mainstream news media for decades, the Mark Probert channeling case (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) has been among the many extensively documented transcendental communication cases deemed to have no commercial value as information.  Beyond Mark Probert who dedicated his channeling gift to scientific research, some channels can perhaps be criticized for financially profiting from their work but this would be a ridiculous judgement to make about the transcendental communicators.  Sometimes the 'right' messenger can have the 'wrong' message if something is articulated in a way that conflicts with another person's own sensibilities.  Superstitions are another aspect of the contemporary malaise.

The article by Stephanie Vazza "How Giving Up TV For A Month Changed My Brain And My Life" includes commentary from a neurosurgeon who cited adverse effects of watching television while university film studies professor Wheeler Winston Dixon is quoted: “TV increasingly traffics in violent programming to keep the viewer in a state of constant fear.  TV also acts as a pacifier, a sort of virtual escape, but it is one that never satisfies, and only leaves the viewer wanting more of the same emptiness.”

The preceding article about Ryuho Okawa reminds how a supernormal experiencer is compelled to inform other people of one's discoveries.  There can be noticeable religious symbols in divine revelation as a metaphor for others.  At Ryuho Okawa's website, 'El Cantare' is designated as meaning 'Supreme God of the Earth' and 'the beautiful land of light.'  The English translation also shows the Spanish word 'cantar' or 'to sing' in English.

  

esoteric aspects of Pop culture are considered with such articles as "'The Possessed' and Today's Pop Culture" and "Transcending the Prevailing Journalism about Paranormal Topics"

  

For Ryuho Okawa, the pattern is Buddha.  The case study of my own paranormal initiation Testament concluded with the realization that 'chosen ones' are no different from anyone else in that each person must be one's own savior.  Although I didn't know it back then, working as a movie studio publicity writer in Hollywood while in my spare time researching and writing about the paranormal would provide me with the appropriate insights to prepare me for an unexpected path of spiritual discovery beyond anything I'd seen on the screen.  The events included symbolic experiences, including burning bushes, a materialized nail in a house where so-called 'talking poltergeist' phenomena was manifesting, and the mountain image for the logo of the entertainment corporation I immediately decided to leave behind to dedicate myself to being a metaphysical author desiring to expand the consciousness of others.

I've been contemplating popular culture ever since I can remember.  As a teenager, I reviewed movies as a high school newspaper staff member and went on to be a cinema major at USC before beginning an entertainment industry career.  I worked at a talent agency for more than seven years prior to becoming a publicist.  Then in the summer of 1995 began the paranormal initiation that transformed me into someone who wanted to help expand the spiritual consciousness of people instead of engaging in the film publicist's occupation of encouraging people to escape into fantasy.  My life changed completely very quickly.  My expanded consciousness resulted from what can only be described as an unseen Force manifesting in ways that would've been beyond my own ability to think possible prior to the transformative sequence of events.

There are more than 7.7 billion other people currently existing on Earth yet the events chronicled in my autobiographical case study and the articles at this blog show that there are individuals who chronicle events in their lives that have no known documented precedent.  When evidence cannot be denied, understanding becomes possible.  First and foremost, I've considered myself a journalist about my own experiences as well as other research findings I've presented.  Some further articles about myself are planned as this may help readers to comprehend aspects of their own lives that they may not have considered before.

I certainly don't know of any other author who each day receives advice about the current blog article through the synchronicity of license plate number sequences glimpsed in traffic.  Since beginning this blog in 2009, different three number sequences gradually developed for each of the following instructions:

edit          take out         additions          put back in       

nearly completed          incorrect          yes          no    

invalid principle          completed         wait a week

The number sequences are accompanied by timely license plate messages, heart logos and other repeating symbols involving my personal connotations.  The manifesting Force obviously knows my every thought.  There have seldom been occasions (if ever) when any of the number sequence symbols have conflicted with any of my own subconscious reasoning.  For example, one week I kept seeing the number sequence indicating 'incorrect' and I still had no idea what paragraph could contain the problematic sentence/s after carefully rereading the article.  Then I saw the 'incorrect' number sequence again, this time immediately followed by '222' and there was the realization that it was the preceding article that was at fault as I'd apparently missed something the prior week without realizing it.

Voice hearing can make someone a psychic medium or alternatively be accepted as a rationale that one is insane.  There is also to be taken into account such cases of 'talking poltergeists' or Direct Voice phenomena (disembodied voices that can be recorded).  Throughout the 63 years of my life, there have only been several voice-hearing (disembodied) experiences, including the two that occurred during my 'talking poltergeist' expedition.  The latest incident happened only a couple weeks ago.  I'd recently read about Ryuho Okawa talking with different spirits during the early hours in the morning and then one night I awoke from sleep a few hours after midnight and a single very clear "Hello" emanated to my left.  It sounded like a female voice.  Now I'm wondering if perhaps at the time I should've asked "Who are you?"

Concerning numbers (numerology) and transcendental communication, two of the cases I've researched come to mind — that of John Dee and Marjorie Livingston.  One of the spiritual diaries of John Dee included a comment from the angel Gabriel on April 21, 1584 when asked to alleviate his scryer (medium) Edward Kelly’s distrust.  (Note: in the transcripts of the conferences, Dee’s comments were represented by a triangle and the angels’ words often appeared in italics.)

E.K.  Why joyn you numbers with these letters, and added none with those of the former table?

Brother, what is the cause that all the World is made by numbers?  The numbers we Speak of, are of reason and form, and not of merchants.

△.  I beseech you as concerning the powder whereof he thinketh that he hath made due assay of it, as if it should have been the Philosophers Stone, and so affirmed to be, by the minister of this action?  I beseech you so to answer, the thing, as his reason may be satisfied.

△.  They give no answer hereunto, but proceeded in the former matter of Numbers.

Gab. ...... Every Letter signifieth the member of the substance whereof it speaketh.  Every word signifieth the quiddity of the substance.  The Letters are separated, and in confusion: and therefore, are by numbers gathered together: which also gathered signife a number: for as every greater containeth his lesser, so are the secret and unknown forms of things knit up in their parents: Where being known in number, they are easily distinguished, so that herein we teach places to be numbered: letters to be elected from the numbred, and proper words from the letters, signifying substantially the thing that is spoken of in the center of his Creator, whereby even as the minde of man moved at an ordered speech, and is easily persuaded in things that are true, so are the creatures of God stirred up in themselves, when they hear the words wherewithal they were nursed and brought forth: For nothing moveth, that is not perswaded: neither can any thing be perswaded that is unknown.

The following excerpt is from transcendental communication transcripts published in The Harmony of the Spheres (1931) by clairaudient channeler Marjorie Livingston:

The heavens are an open map, accessible for your study, and each carnate being may discover the planetary ray which lies in affinity with his own vibrations.  A name should be given him of which the numerical value is in correspondence and harmony.  He himself should seek to maintain true harmonics throughout the term of his earthly existence, for they will outlast the discarnation of his flesh and continue throughout the planes of earth's celestial boundaries.

There is a Song of Life, a harmony you may cull from dates and numbers which are the outer forms in which the eternal Mysteries are enshrouded by the flesh.

You, who shall be All-in-One in Nirvana, are units upon earth, even fractions of a unit.  Within you there vibrates one colour in the spectrum, one note in the scale of music, one number vibrates in harmony, one jewel is your affinity.  See that your Note of Life is sounded in harmony that its echoes may soar above the confines of earth and find response in Heaven.
