Reflections about My Unexpected Path of Spiritual Discovery (Journal Post)


On Jan. 28 the decision was reached that I would simultaneously publish the latest My Life with Michael journal blog entry article at my other blog Metaphysical Articles: Interesting Articles, Links and Other Media(Each week I take into consideration all of the preceding blog topics while selecting what subject to present to readers next.)  Six days later, I decided that it seemed appropriate for a few more journal blog entries also be published at Metaphysical Articles to share with all my readers some additional overview comments about myself as a metaphysical author/blogger — perhaps to some degree this is a variation to my primary objective of reporting about M manifestations with the My Life with Michael journal blog. 
 
After completing the Feb. 3 journal entry, I checked my Email and saw a message from my brother Mike that he'd sent earlier that day.  The Email presented a link to a YouTube video because he thought I would be interested in hearing a song about prophecies from a recently released Disney animated movie.

After listening to the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" as featured in the scene from "Encanto," it was intriguing that the storyline noticeably incorporates metaphysical elements.  I read an "Encanto" movie plot description mentioning ". . . When the house is rebuilt, the Madrigals give Mirabel a gleaming doorknob with an M on it.  When she places it in the front door, the magic springs back to life, restoring the Casita and all the family's Gifts and spreading through the town."  (Have you noticed the many photographic images showing renditions of the letter M at this blog?)
 
 
The movie also features characters with the names Isabela and Alma.  I remember John Leguizamo (who voices the character 'Bruno') was in the Paramount movie "Whispers in the Dark," a 1992 mystery-thriller featuring Annabella Sciorra in the central role.  Between 1987 and 1995 I'd been employed to write and edit press materials for more than 100 Paramount movies.  I mentioned to my brother in a reply to his Email: "Everyone treated me like 'Bruno' for the fulfillment of the prophecies mentioned in my news releases . . . Did you have the chance to read my journal blog article mentioning the prophecy linking with your Disney coworker Gary Kalkin as I also mentioned to you during a phone conversation . . ."

After my life-changing events of 1995, the thought of continuing to engage in the occupation of movie publicity writing soon became repugnant to me because of my new knowledge of metaphysical aspects of life and cosmology as a 'chosen one' by the 'Message Giver' (the Archangel Michael being a scriptural representation of an angelic Force interacting with mankind throughout the ages).  Having continued these efforts with the publication of Testament and making available other noncommercial websites (incl. the Metaphysical Articles blog and Paranormal Encyclopedia . Net) during the course of 25 years, it has often been disturbingly obvious that generally people and news media journalists are focused on mainstream media fare such as movies, narrative fictional TV shows and Pop Songs instead of the metaphysical and spiritual Dispensations from the God Force
.  Ironically in March 1996 the Academy Award for 'Best Picture' for the second year in a row was for a Paramount movie I'd helped publicize.

Pop culture instances of Michael/M synchronicity are mentioned in the article "Sharing Diverse Aspects of my 'Paranormal Initiation'".  Two other examples are shown below: music video images of Pop singers performing songs with metaphysical themes.  As previously mentioned — Considering the predicament of people who don't read and instead give their attention to movies, TV shows, computer games and Pop music, a perhaps useful suggestion is to be attentive to spiritual and metaphysical aspects of life introduced in diverse ways among Pop culture expressions.
  
  
 
I've occasionally described how there are times when I'm guided by M to read specific books among many titles appearing in online listings.  This happened in mid-December with Trivia from The Twilight Zone (2004) by Bill DeVoe.  When I received the book in the mail and began perusing the pages, the contents were found to consist of diverse quiz-related sentences and word puzzles about the television series that originally aired between 1959 and 1964 with continuous reruns during the following years while I was growing up.
 
Contemporary people's metaphysical and spiritual perspectives as well as emotional responses to these aspects or conditions of human experience are possibly being influenced by their fictitious entertainment media viewing selections (or activities when considering video/Internet/computer games).  
 
 
On page 59 of the book, a 'multiple choice' question and answer match was the directive to identify the title of the episode where series host Rod Serling was heard saying "M for mankind."  The answer turned out to be "The Obsolete Man."

When I conducted a search at YouTube about this particular episode, the full episode was found being sold for $1.99 (SD) and $2.99 (HD).  The provider is identified as "CBS."  This predicament of 'the commercialization of the Internet' has reached an elaborate and pathetic stage at websites such as YouTube and the Google search engine.  

"M for mankind" and "The Obsolete Man" — I haven't been confronted with this many ironies since my sojourn at Alhambra.  Once when I was working as a talent agent circa 1986 (as mentioned before) I watched the new version of "The Twilight Zone" TV series circa 1985 (probably a night when a client was appearing) and unexpectedly saw my friend Marie when elevator doors opened during an episode.  I knew she sometimes worked as an extra yet the moment was still surprising in being so unexpected.  Marie's main interest then was performing as a Pop singer and one of her songs was entitled "Beyond the Limit."

Individual humans observing their Pop culture creations may consider how each choice made reflects their present state of consciousness in relation to earthly life goals for self-fulfillment.  Personally, my point-of-view is that giving one's attention to entertainment seems a waste of time when there is so much to be learned about life.  Several of my Metaphysical Articles posts mention the Akashic Record or Records.  Edgar Cayce channeled Reading 1650-1 includes the comment heard from him while in the trance state:

"Upon time and space is written the thoughts, the deeds, the activities of an entity – as in relationships to its environs, its hereditary influence; as directed – or judgment drawn by or according to what the entity's ideal is.  Hence, as it has been oft called, the record is God's book of remembrance; and each entity, each soul – as the activities of a single day of an entity in the material world – either makes same good or bad or indifferent, depending upon the entity's application of self towards that which is the ideal manner . . ."
 
In 2019 I began posting the chapters of an unpublished autobiography with an Index of Online Chapter Links now available.  I wrote in the chapter describing the culmination of the first momentous stage of my 'paranormal initiation':

I found that there was no other conclusion possible than a Loving and unlimited creative Superconsciousness had found a way of revealing participation in my life through this ongoing paranormal initiation.

I now was able to distinguish the relevance of the term Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit in signifying the omnipresent Spiritual Force (or Christ Force) manifesting the Divine Will of God.  I decided that the mysterious Michael could only be an aspect of the enigmatic Archangel Whose manifestations had inspired diverse cultural permutations throughout the ages.  For decades, psychical researchers had estimated the diverse ‘poltergeist’ phenomena as somehow tying-in with the subconscious mind yet they hadn’t defined a Superconscious element.  I felt joyful at the realization that all living beings from Earth, other planets or ascended realms are each a single aspect of the spiritual Source finding expression.

Some of the learning milieus that M guided me to explore after this moment in 1995 was participating in psychotherapy sessions.  When these were over, I decided to engage in sessions with a hypnotherapist.  I personally wasn't able to enter into any trance state from my perspective; however, the hypnotherapist had answered the question What is it like to experience the trance state? for an introductory booklet with the statement:  ". . . the trance state varies from person to person, a
nd even from session to session . . . Whatever you experience is unique and appropriate to you . . ."

In 1995 I began attending Sunday morning lectures about diverse 'esoteric' topics at the Philosophical Research Society (founded by Manly P. Hall) and also volunteering as a telephone information source and 'listener' at APLA's Southern California HIV/AIDS Hotline at the David Geffen Center building in Hollywood.  When the Hotline services were terminated and calls transferred to San Francisco, I began helping with food bank operations in the APLA Necessities of Life Program.

This PRS flyer shows the title of the first lecture that I attended in 1995 with my friend Marie.  Later I discovered that Manly P. Hall's wife was named Marie.
 
 
It was the psychotherapist who told me about the Philosophical Research Society:
 
P: I was wondering if you ever checked out something called the Philosophical Research society. 
 
Q: No.
 
P: It’s in Los Feliz. 
 
Q: Oh God, that’s right near where I live. 
 
P: I know.  That’s what I was thinking.  It’s this wonderful place.  They have Sunday services and they have channelers and they have spiritually enlightened people from all over come and speak there on Sunday. 
 
Q: I’ve driven by there and I’ve always wondered, “What is that place?”
 
P: I think you’d really enjoy it because there are a lot of metaphysical thinkers there.

There are transcripts of tape-recorded psychotherapy sessions and hypnotherapy sessions included in TestamentThe PRS lecture topics about metaphysical and esoteric subjects helped me become acquainted with such authors as Sri Aurobindo, H. P. Blavatsky, C. G. Jung, and Rudolph Steiner; and with contemporary authors, including lecturers Amit Goswami, Stephan Hoeller, Raymond A. Moody, Caoline Myss, Judith Orloff, Huston Smith, Russell Targ, and Gary Zukav.  In February 1998 a Saturday evening special event was an appearance by channeler Kevin Ryerson.  This was the first time I'd observed a well-known 'channeler' in person and—considering the changes in vocal mannerisms of the three entities to speak and vocal influctuations and unaccustomed topics—this demonstration was unquestionably authentic.

After having become a metaphysical author in 1997 with the publication of Testament, I was uncertain about what occupation would be suitable for myself.  There were a succession of temporary employment positions that often oriented me to experience many predicaments of 'corporate thinking' resulting with conditions and circumstances showing no consideration of spiritual values, 'the golden rule' or understanding of the consequences of an individual disregarding karmic considerations in relation to practices and interaction with others.

My first assignment as a substitute school district employee was in the main office of a local elementary school for a few days.  At one point I was required to leave the office and during this short interval a choral group of children beginning to sing "Welcome from the children of the world . . ."  During this temporary assignment, M helped me to select a suitable permanent occupation school site.  Seventeen years later, a leave of absence from my high school position due to chronic IBS symptoms preceded the necessitated retirement at the end of the 2019-2020 fall semester.
 
In 2004 after readers expressed interest in reading a more customary biographical account of my life, I began working on a new autobiographical book that eventually became entitled My Unexpected Path of Spiritual Discovery.  The book includes a description of my researching experiencers of 'the supernatural'/'paranormal phenomena' through the centuries.  It was following my 'talking poltergeist' research in Oklahoma 1995 that my choice of reading materials was almost always case study books and biographies of people whose lives became associated with unusual consciousness expanding manifestations.  After my experiences, there was nothing else that interested me than finding out what else could be learned about the Angelic Force interacting with me.

In May 2006 I had the opportunity to attend another session by a well-known channeler at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, JZ Knight.  (article)  Another reported 'Ramtha' (channeled entity) interlude is a 2014 radio interview.  (article)  One of Ramtha's topics during the interview is relevance,
a point of consideration in relation to the 'Me Too' and 'Cancel Culture' Movements and the influence of news media reporting and 'infotainment,' etc.  Ramtha offered some comments about individual human perceptions of what experiences in life are meaningful in relation to activities and the life experience.  Here's an example:

Everyone wants to be relevant and because the world has not given a voice to itself but only those selected people that follow the narrow path it leaves a great disenchantment.  And rightly so.  Everyone is remarkably wonderful.  If you mine for it you'll find it.   Everyone if you put aside their jargons and ask them deep poignant questions about their opinions they will be so taken back because they have filed them in the back of their mind as not desirable.  ("THAT")  It takes them a while to find their bearing to find what they really believe in . . .
 
As I've previously commented — Perhaps baseless superstitious fears are a reason for there having been evident for many decades great resistance to new teachings, new dispensations, although much of this seems to be due to news media reporting selections influenced by commercialism and individual orientations concerning what is relevant.  (Articles and Videos Links Index of Channeling Cases.)
 
A 1960s TV series similar to "The Twilight Zone" also seen in reruns during my childhood was "The Outer Limits."  One incident mentioned in Testament is how on one occasion I began an impromptu interview with an antique store owner (Hugh Langtry Tape #36, Side #2) and learned that he'd been a stunt man who played the roles of all the alien beings in the original "Outer Limits" TV series. Below are shown two examples.
  
 
An individual who is familiar with transcendental communication and other 'paranormal' case studies might readily recognize the significance of such a 'co-incidence' as my encounter with Langtry.  As mentioned previously
When one realizes that we live in a spiritually interactive universe, the experiences of every day can be an adventure in problem solving, co-incidence and synchronicity.

2/13/22 Update: Now Mike has sent me an Email with the subject "Hoda shares the meaning behind the ‘M’ necklace she wears every day" and a new link: https://www.today.com/style/style/hoda-kotb-shares-meaning-m-necklace-wears-every-day-rcna13482.  This might be the first time I've seen these two "Today" TV show hosts (Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager).  The necklaces seen in the clip are instances of 'M' and 'Wheel of Eternity' symbolism. 
Considering what is seen in the TV show clip, there's the consideration that people can make use of their time by viewing discussion of 'bologna masks' on TV or by expanding their consciousness about metaphysical aspects of being through articles made available at these websites:
