You’ve Gotta Believe
Peering down at my late father’s Ring of Power adorning my middle finger with the symbol of a hawk emblazoned in gold, the words he uttered so casually echo in my mind. “You’ve gotta believe,” he’d say when he got home from a long day of work and made it rain Benjamins on the dinner table. A few years prior he and his beloved, my mom Dawn Celeste, had moved us out to the countryside to try our hands at farming. Raising goats, chickens and growing vegetables was rewarding work, but of all the wisdom he left me with, his aspiration to create the change he wished to see in the world through experiences borne of passion was the most resounding.
In those days, when I wasn’t meandering along the rocks with the eddies in the creek on our 100 acre plot, I would often find myself riding along to a farm auction with my bright-eyed parents. As an only child, and teenage girl nonetheless, some of the most precious memories of time spent with my dad in those days are of shooting guns out on the land and combing over the jewelry booths at auctions to find that magical piece which called out to the spirit and brought forth one’s power. How fitting that this Ring of Power, as he deemed it, bears the embodiment of a spirit that soars. After he passed, it came up in conversation with my mom that he, too, would have incredibly lucid dreams of flying from a young age. I could not have understood the symbolism had events occurred in another linear order, but the greatest lesson of all that I reflect — not just with this Ring of Power, but with the spirit of my father which resides in my own — is that if we soar above the illusion of limiting beliefs and set our sights on what our hearts truly desire we embody the change we wish to see in the world, reflecting it fractally through the collective consciousness.
Thoughts have the power to imprint symbols onto water in experiments done by Dr. Masaru Emoto, and expounded upon by Veda Austin in her groundbreaking research published in Hydroglyphs: The Language of Water. The power of intention and the concept of consciousness itself is pervasive in the study of unseen forces. J. Allen Hynek perceived inexplicable behaviors and interactions with anomalous phenomena, such as what we know by modern terms as Unidentified Flying Objects, thus:
“We live on a water planet. It’s very logical therefore, that our bodies are mostly water. It could be that our consciousness expresses itself through protoplasma, through our particular chemistry…consciousness can exist in many forms, and we are one of those forms…as somebody said, the whole question of this trying to communicate with life elsewhere is like the not-yet-born talking to the long-since-dead…furthermore an advanced civilization might regard radio as we regard jungle drums or smoke signals…we must not jump to the conclusion that because it has an intelligence of its own, it is necessarily visitors from outer space. It may be in some strange way connected with that intelligence if that intelligence can in some way project itself down here.”
The most elusive implications of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, UAP, rest in its quantum entanglement with the “hard problem of consciousness,” coined in 1995 by Dr. David Chalmers. Perhaps essential to the UAP Disclosure process has been a long-time effort to introduce the concept of a convoluted universe and the power of thought to influence a reality that exists everywhere, fractally, all at once. The survival instinct to cling to fitness packets which reinforce our understanding of material reality, or compartmentalize internal and external environmental awareness, is experiencing global societal transcendence as individual perceptions begin to conceptualize and co-create a reality in which thoughts are realized for the energetic field of potential that they are. Integrating the fact that we may choose to transmute reality through controlled cognitive processes and actionable empathy could very well be the next phase in Disclosure. A new field of quantifying qualitative experiences of a multidimensional reality is emerging, led by disciplines such as parapsychology, ontology, anthropology, theoretical and quantum physics, neurobiology, marine and astrobiology — overarchingly a collaborative approach to studies of energy, frequencies and vibrations that make evident the power of collective consciousness to affect change.
“…perceiving truth would drive our species extinct.” — Donald Hoffman, The Case Against Reality
Language is just “the passage of air over space producing vibrations,” as acoustic ecologist Dr. Michelle Fournet explained on Colouring Outside the Lines with host Dan Zetterstrom. In 2019 she initiated a low-impact experiment to discover what whales are communicating to one another, finding that they vocalize a potentially infinite spectrum of combinations of sounds. Similarly to how whales use their skin folds and sinus cavities, dolphins use sound to shape water into bubbles or lenses through their blowholes to communicate information encoded in the surface through very specific shapes and symbols in addition to their well known clicks and whistles.
In another experiment on the evolution of language in non-human intelligent life it was found that “The existence of the two linguistics laws in the communication system of dolphins provides compelling evidence and insights in the discussion of linguistics universals, and in particular for compression as a general principle of animal behaviour. In spite of the strikingly different natural habitat of dolphins, we find the same abstract cost minimization principles are present across different species and taxa, including humans.” The two linguistics laws to which Amalia Alkisti Vradi was referring are Menzerath’s law and Zipf’ law of abbreviation, which basically state that energy in all its forms takes the path of least resistance. This same path can be seen in the angle of refraction of light through various mediums, as seen in a prism. In a seemingly less tangible way we shape thoughts into matter through the movement of sound waves via the biological vibratory mechanism of speech, or the transmutation of physical matter into words, images and symbols. Which thoughts, or synaptic electrical impulses, we act upon to create sound or transmute energy in the physical world have reverberating consequences for both good and bad.
“Wavelengths belong to waves, and photons are particles, right, and the relationship is you have a quantum mechanical electromagnetic wave that exists and, when you observe it, the quantum mechanics kicks in and you see particles, but the thing that is traveling through space is not really a particle it’s a vibration in a wave.” — Sean Carrol
Directed sound and energy weapons have been developed which act on a similar premise of energy exchange and transmutation to shift the vibratory frequency of the human biofield either via transcranial stimulation or amplification technologies. At best these technologies have been used for medical healing, and at worst for warfare and crowd control. These scalar energy devices use unseen energy fields to manipulate and amplify sound waves, akin to how lasers interact with light waves, which directly affect physiological, psychological and emotional states. What has not yet been developed is our own individual ability to harness this same power and utilize it to manifest the greatest possible outcome in each moment. First, we must recognize the malleability of such unseen forces in order that we may understand how to affect them. This is just what the CIA set out to do in response to core secrets inexplicably leaking to Soviet spies in the Cold War when they developed their own psychic spy program in conjunction with Stanford Research Institute.
Evidence of the development and usage of psychotronic technologies is maybe the most compelling and threatening proof of the power of the imperceptible to affect reality on a very visceral level. Directed energy weapons were defined by the European Parliament’s STOA (Science and Technological Options Assessment) panel on “Crowd Control Technologies” as a “system designed to match radio frequency source to interfere with human brain activity at synapse level.” Furthermore, “In 1996 non-lethal tools identified by the U.S. Army included… directed energy systems” and “radio frequency weapons,” and in 2002 the US Air Force patented the technology to send words into someone’s mind via microwaves, as pictured above.
As more of the general public begins to adopt mindfulness-based practices, which balance the left and right brain bringing mind and body into alignment with our highest aspirations, more actions are naturally taken to manifest a reality that reflects the interconnectedness of our collective consciousness. The speed of light is the esteemed constant of the universe, yet the human eye can only see 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum. 99% of what we perceive seems to our five senses to be empty space, so in effect we are basing our speed limit on 1/100th of the universal roadmap, underscoring the colloquialism that the only true constant is change. Radiesthesia is a nonlocal phenomenon in the same category as other more well understood forms of synesthesia which is defined by Psychology Today as “a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for example, hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (such as vision).” Harmonizing our body’s vibrational electromagnetic field in resonance with imperceptible energetic fields allows us to extend our perception to receive, send or even interact with a multidimensional wealth of information existing as different states of matter. As society evolves to support its collective survival needs, reflection and connection are the catalyst for the transcension process of previously conceived limiting beliefs borne of a fear-fueled tribal mentality which no longer serves our species’ natural evolution. What comes next? Well, you’ve gotta believe.
Strange Paradigms host Cristina Gomez stated sagely, “Ancient does NOT mean Primitive.” Our ancestors understood how to manipulate forces unseen to the modern human sensory apparatus, and went so far as to painstakingly record these technologies in stone. They even buried megalithic structures such as the Sphinx and Gobekli Tepe to preserve not just what they understood to be a temporary way of life, but histories of lifetimes of evolution and technological advancement passed down through oral and written cultural traditions. As more archaeological and anthropological discoveries are made we get closer to understanding just how much our ancient ancestors utilized the power of energy, frequency and vibration. Once one begins to embrace the concept of a realm of unseen forces at work all around us, the concept has the potential to become so all encompassingly overwhelming that it is only natural to flee to the comforting confirmation biases of religious or scientific dogmas.
Paradoxically the study of unseen forces is a never-ending search to explain the occult, or hidden, through experimentation via experiences in faith or hypotheses. One perspective of this shadow biosphere at work all around us is that of attempting to understand by categorizing qualitative experiences by spiritual means. On the other side of the same coin is a rigorous process of seeking causation over correlation in quantitative experiences of unseen forces by scientific means. Oftentimes it is the noetic experience, or paradigm-shifting event, which draws people into a deeper understanding of the implications of our interconnectedness. Nick Cook, a best-selling award-winning author, went from writing about jet propulsion and zero-point energy as Aviation Editor at Jane’s Defense Weekly to the survival of consciousness after death, winning an honorable mention and seat on the board of directors of Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies. His paradigm shift came after witnessing the shared death experience his wife had with her mother as she passed. Knowing his wife’s pragmatic, honest and logical mind, he was driven to understand what he could not see but knew to be true, which led him inevitably to the field of consciousness. The shared human experience is seeking to understand that which we cannot through the five senses alone, and what limits all of us regardless of our proscribed beliefs is the comfort of labels to which we cling like chains in a sea of constant change.
Social constructs perpetuated by scientific and religious institutions depend on the power of intention and comfort of belief in something more powerful than us to materialize and accumulate wealth — through gnosis and well-being, assuredly. Alas, to paraphrase Lord Acton, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and so in practice what we perceive as wealth determines our intrinsic desires. Which thoughts we focus our energy on manifest in our words and actions, thereby evidentiating our power to transmute energy. Tulpas can be defined as “beings or objects that are created in someone’s imagination by visualization techniques…However, there’s an ancient idea gaining more and more traction in our modern world. It’s the idea that given enough thought and focus, we can actually create real sentient beings,” as described by Diana Brown on How Stuff Works. If you ever played the childhood game known commonly as “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board” with an expectant group of hopeful peers you know the very real power of subtle energies. This concept was realized in the ancient Egyptian and other ritualistic practices which continue in spiritual circles to this day of congregating with unified, actionable intention.
The implications of the power of intention are unimaginably revolutionary, which could explain why the secrecy surrounding its legitimacy has perpetuated for generations. If billions of people began living their lives free of the fetters of limiting beliefs that bind their power to manifest a preferred reality then power structures that exist for individualistic purposes would cease to serve their functions. No longer would we need privatized prisons, armed and afraid first responders, or an economic system based on the trade of resources that hangs in the balance of controlled scarcity. Gone would be the days of imbalanced representation of a global population quite capable of meeting its own needs through a newfound recognition of the power we hold as individuals to affect the collective through actionable empathy when we work together with the greater flows of reality.
When mitochondrial disease had ravaged my dad’s eyesight and hearing enough to warrant concern and seek a diagnosis as I grew into my teens, the fear of losing my ability to talk to my dad at such a young age spurred me to gift him a sign-language dictionary. When he hadn’t picked it up after a time I asked after his interest in the possibility of learning to use sign language together, and in true Joe fashion he explained lovingly that he already knew all the sign language he needed to get by as he flipped the bird, so to speak. We had a good laugh and agreed that we would work on developing our own secret sign language from then on. The intrinsic drive to push the boundaries of conformity was taught to me by an adept of thought and love whom I am fortunate enough to have known as my own father. The first whispers of such freedom to choose one’s destiny came when he taught me the importance of playing hooky in grade school, despite my bookish objections based in solid second-grade logic. Challenging limiting beliefs is a practice comparable to diving off the the precipice of desire into the abyss of the unknown. When we jump, it becomes clear that we all have the power to soar. To where, and whence, does your spirit guide you in this moment?
