9 Mile Canyon

A few days ago, I took a quick trip north to an archaeological site that I had wanted to visit for years, ever since I became involved in archaeology when I lived in Colorado.  It turns out that the time and driving distance was about equal from either Cortez or Cedar City.  For whatever reason, I decided to travel there this year before the weather got too hot.  Coincidentally, my remote viewing teacher Paul Smith and his family took a trip there the week before.  His Smith ancestors came from that area. 

So I am talking about 9 Mile Canyon, a world famous and lengthy canyon that features Fremont Indian rock art dating from about 700 to 1300 A.D.  The canyon is east of Price, UT, and goes through a geological formation called the Book Cliffs.


All in all, for the 2 days and one overnight of the trip I drove 610 miles.  Lots of driving, but worth it. 

To get into the canyon, I drove about 28 miles along a 2 lane road through desert scrub.  My first stop was a picnic area on the site of an old homestead with an outhouse and picnic tables under a shelter. 

Then on to the rock art, which was spread out here and there along the next 20 miles.  I had a good map and drove from pull out to pull out, parked, and photographed the rock art.  Towards the end of the route, it started to rain a bit, but even that felt good as it has been very dry in my area.  Here is a sampling of the fabulous rock art that I saw.

This panel is called "Coyote placing the stars".  It depicts Coyote taking the stars out of his bag and creating the Milky Way.  

More rock art.


This petroglyph shows that these ancient people had dogs!
Here is a traditional anthropomorphic figure of a human. 
I felt that time was running short at this point, so I bypassed some of the other sites and drove directly to the last and most important site on the road, called the Great Hunt.  It had also started to rain a bit.
This petroglyph is probably the most photographed one in the whole state of Utah.  It depicts the annual fall hunt when the bighorn sheep, rams, ewes and lambs, gather for the fall mating activity.  A perfect time to hunt!  You can see the hunters with their bows and arrows on the right side.  Below is a close up of ewes and their lambs.
It is clear that the mammal that was mostly hunted was the desert big horn sheep.  During the early days of the Fremont, there were some bison present through the canyon to the east.
A nice panel at the Daddy Canyon Complex.
My last stop of the day upon doubling back was one of my favorites.  The great horned owl has always been a dear being to me, especially going back to my shamanic practice.  This panel featured several owls in addition to other beings.  Fabulous!!!

What a long day!  I started out from Cedar City at 7:30 AM, and finished up at 9 Mile Canyon around 4:30 PM, getting to Price and my hotel at about 6 PM.  

The next day, I visited the very excellent Natural History Museum in Price, which was just down the street from my hotel.  The specialty of this museum is the display of all of the dinosaurs that have been unearthed in Utah.  It was mind boggling, there were so many!

On the way back home, I took a different route that took me east of the main highway going south, and then over the mountain back to Cedar City.  Much to my surprise, while driving through a pretty dusty agricultural and cattle ranching area, Circleville, I passed a historical site that was Butch Cassidy's childhood home!  I did not stop, but here is a photo that I snagged off of the internet.  Who would have thought!  Undoubtedly, he came from a Mormon family.

Super Flower Blood Moon Eclipse

 

Last night, on the eve of the latest lunar eclipse, it started out cloudy.  I had almost given up hope that I would be able to see and photograph the event.  Happily, as so often happens, the skies cleared during the totality, and I was able to get some shots.  Here is the darkest phase of the eclipse. 

I was photographing from my back yard.  As the moon rose above my neighbor’s house, I took this photo which includes the top of her satellite dish! 

I do regard the moon as an artificial satellite that was brought here many eons ago.  It is also probably hollow.  What goes on inside is anyone's guess.  One theory is that negative energy is constantly being sent to our planet from there.  There are also structures on the "dark" side of the moon.  Just the fact that only one side of the moon is always facing earth is quite suspicious!  And quite unnatural.

If you have not yet seen the movie "Moonfall", it is worth a look. 

If it were not for our moon, however, life on earth would probably cease, or be something quite different altogether.  Also, our moon is definitely not a maternal goddess archetype as a lot of people believe.  That belief system relates to the control of women and women's cycles. Where that came from, I do not know.  It feels very off planet to me!

The Outbounder

This past Wednesday night, I got a surprise phone call from my remote viewing instructor, Paul Smith, who lives near me in Cedar City.  It turns out that he had spent the better part of that day being filmed and interviewed by a 3 man film crew from Australia.  He wanted to know if I would like to participate in an outbounder exercise the next morning.  As luck would have it, my Thursday morning client rescheduled, and I was free.  I had never been filmed before, so that would be a new experience.  Apparently, the crew was filming for a new Australian TV show about the US that had just gone into production. 

So what is an outbounder remote viewing session?  When RV was being developed at the Stanford Research Institute, they did a lot of these.  One of the goals was to prove psychic ability.  The process is this.  A selection of locations in the area are put into individual unmarked envelopes.  The locations should be distinctive as to their features, and easily distinguishable from other locations.  The people involved in the outbounder are split into 2 teams.  Team #1 chooses an envelope at random, opens it in secret, and goes out to the location that is in the envelope.  Team #2 consists of the monitor and the viewer, who stay behind at the lab, office or classroom.  When team #1 gets to their location, they let team #2 know, and the viewer starts remote viewing the unknown location.  This is generally done with people who have not done any remote viewing before, and surprisingly, the viewer does fairly well under these circumstances.   This is sometimes called the “first timer effect”! 

While at that location, team #1 looks around and tunes into the ambiance of that place, in addition to the structures, textures, colors, smells and sounds, etc.  The viewer at the same time is describing what they are psychically picking up from the location through the people that are actually there.   At a pre determined time, team #1 lets team #2 know where they are so that the monitor and the viewer can go there to see how well the viewer did. 

Paul has done this exercise many times with people who have no knowledge of remote viewing, with excellent results for the novice viewer.  In 2017, Actor Rob Lowe and his 2 sons came to Cedar City to do an outbounder with Paul for their TV series “The Lowe Files”. 

So getting back to Thursday morning, I met Paul and the film crew at Paul’s office.  Paul and I had to be miked up!  I had been asked to pick a local location for the outbounder, and had to keep it a secret from everyone, as not only does the viewer have to be blind to the target, but the monitor Paul has to also.  I drove with the producer Steve out to a place called “Park Discovery”, which is the photo above and those below.




It is a great place for children, and also has enough interesting elements for a remote viewer.  Upon arrival, we let Paul know that we were there, and he asked the viewer, John, to start writing down his descriptions and sketches.  At the same time, I walked around and took in the details of the location.  That took about 15 minutes.  The producer then texted Paul that we were done, and he and the viewer and the camera man, another Steve, drove to our location.  We all looked at what the viewer had written and drawn to see how his impressions matched the location.  The viewer did a fairly good job for a beginner, and Paul liked my choice of the target location. 

I have mentioned the Australian producer and the viewer, but not the camera man so far.  Since they only had one camera, he could only film one person at a time, so a lot of the shots were duplicated several times focusing on each person in turn.  That was quite an experience.  Between the camera man and the producer, they had to cover everything.  The 3rd member of the team, the viewer John, was the only one actually on camera with Paul and me.  Of course, the tedious editing would come afterwards.  Paul called me later that evening to let me know that the crew left $50 for me as a payment for my services.  I thought that was nice.  Paul also mentioned that there might be more outbounder opportunities for me in the future.  Fun!

I hope that all of what I have explained here is not too confusing.  The outbounder process has also been explained in several books that talk about the early days of remote viewing.  I do not know when this episode will air in Australia, and I hope that Paul will get a copy of the show.  Actually, I am not sure that I would like to see how I did!  Maybe a lot of my footage will be edited out.  I’ll let you know.

April Launch

 

Four members of our launching group met this morning for another interesting and life affirming set of launches.  As a general theme that showed up today, there seems to be a lot of moving and the changing of modes of being for everyone who participated.  I expect that we will have a lot to talk about at our next launch! 

Everyone needs to have an intent for their launch so that the journey can be as productive as possible.  As I lifted up and out, I expressed my intent as “show me my next step”.  This launch was a bit unusual for me.  I expanded out pretty fast, but then ran into a clear wall with writing in white all over it.  The closest I could find is the above photo.  It is a version of Arabic.  The wall was about 5 feet high and very long from side to side, and also thin. 

As I was studying the writing and trying to decipher it, the wall rolled up from one end to the other, and I was then facing a vertically oriented tube or column. The next thing I knew, that rolled up tube of writing entered me.   I proceeded upwards, and was surrounded on all sides by those symbols floating in mid air. 

The next part was sort of unusual.  I then found myself traveling down and deep into the earth.  I ended up in the center right next to the Heart of our Earth Mother.  This was unusual because during these journeys, I very rarely go there.  I am more of an up and out person!                 

Once there, I kept expanding my Core Essence until it was as big as our planet.  It was also filled with those symbols.  I could see that the substance of our planet was being transmuted and transformed into a golden white energy from the inside out.  It seemed like she was turning into a star!  This reminded me of the “ascension” that our earth is supposed to be attaining. 

At that point, I turned to the Earth Mother who was next to me, and saw the most amazing thing!  She was not in the form of a person, or even a glowing globe of light.  What I saw was a combination of sacred geometry and a view through a kaleidoscope.  The patterns were pale white, and constantly moving into various geometric figures.  The photo below gives an approximation of what I saw, but without the colors and moving all around.

So is this the soul of our planet in her natural form?  A lot of people say that a giant crystal resides in the center of our planet.  Maybe they were tuning into this.  I sat with this energy for a while before I was called back by the group. 

Along the way, I was also receiving guidance for my next step.  I need to simplify my life, and eliminate what no longer serves me.  I will probably be cutting back on my remote viewing projects in favor of more meditation time and expansion at the core of the planet, and more blog posts.  Will I be helping our planet raise her vibration and become a star?  Will that activity assist in any way to clear up all of the violence happening right now?  Will all of those symbols permeate the planet and have some kind of effect?   I don’t know.  At the very least, I think it will be a very productive way to pass time, and perhaps write about more of these experiences in doing so.  Who knows what will happen!
