What I believe is that human science has the capacity to
study, identify and benefit from the UFO and close encounter
reports, and the materials being generated. On balance, I
think that there is probably another intelligence involved with
us, but I do not know its origin. I would not be too surprised
to discover that it was something very much stranger than
aliens from another planet. The intrusive nature of the
implant phenomenon worries me. I want to believe that this is
all to the good, but it's not easy, given that this seems such
a terrific invasion of privacy.
I can see the outlines of what might be an organized program
that has three parts:
1. It is designed to study us and possibly extract something
from us along the lines of sexual material or dna.
2. It is generating questions that will have the effect of
waking us up. It does this by the ceaseless process of UFO
sightings, and the pressure that the close encounter
experience puts us under. Whether intentional or not, the
provocative nature of these two activities is slowly
awakening in mankind a desire to solve this problem.
3. It is creating deep resistance. This runs so deep, indeed,
that most of us in this experience suffer great persecution if
we "come out" publicly. I have personally suffered the ugly
combination of people being really nasty to me out of
jealousy over my supposed success while at the same time
having financial problems because I abandoned my thriving
writing career. The belief is that the UFO books make scads
of money and that anybody with a mean streak can safely
indulge it at my expense. The truth is that I have all of the
problems attendant on celebrity but none of the perks.
The Environment
Fires and Nature's End
Yet another Nature's End prophecy came true. If you read my
books, you'll note that many of the prognostications in the
book have proven accurate. This is not to say that Jim
Kunetka (my co-author) and I have some sort of prophecy
bone. Except for a few rather weird coincidences that I have
commented on elsewhere, our ideas in that book were based
on scientific research.
The burning of the tropical forests was a feature of Nature's
End, with an especially vivid account of a fire in the Brazilian
Matto Grosso. In February of 1998, fires began in the Matto
Grosso. Meanwhile, massive fires in Indonesia have sent a pall
of smoke thousands of miles. It is as if a fire in Montana was
so unimaginably huge that it was covering St. Louis with a
smoke pall.
Unfortunately, you can't get Nature's End in the stores
anymore, as it is out of print. So look for it in a used book
store. It is surprisingly accurate, for something written twelve
years ago.
Ocean Currents
Our lives depend upon the flow of the ocean currents, which
distribute heat and cold around the planet. The most
important of these currents is probably the Gulf Stream, in
that it keeps the Northeastern US, eastern Canada and parts
of Northern Europe, especially the British Isles, much warmer
than they would otherwise be.
Warming of the waters in the southern hemisphere threaten
ocean circulation, which is powered by the difference in
temperature between water near the poles and water closer
to the equator. The more even these temperatures become,
the more likely it becomes that the currents will get less
powerful.
Should the Gulf Stream collapse south, the British Isles will
experience a severe change in climate and could even
become uninhabitable, at least by as many people as are
there now.
The Power of Prayer
I am growing more and more interested in what prayer does
and how it works. I enjoy praying. I want to worship. But
why? What is it that impels so many of us to worship? When I
was younger, prayer was always a chore. Over the years
though, it has become a pleasure for me. I can think of few
things I would rather do that sit out on the porch and pray.
Is it just getting older that does this, or does an adverse life
lead to a closer connection with deity? When I see all the
storm and struggle in the world, I wonder why they don't just
relax and pray? I suppose that the mystery of it lies in the
fact that belief is in the head, while faith is in the blood. I
don't really have a believer bone, but my faith is so deep that
it seems to me that it goes even deeper than I am.
What do I have faith in? That which makes it so enjoyable to
pray.
This is the beginning of an ongoing journal. It will be added to
periodically, but not on a fixed schedule.
