Amazing Grace

Part IV

In 1991 I met Fredric Irland who was, at the time, a production assistant to a man who produced and directed infomercials. I had answered an ad for a "television script writer." The fact is, I was mostly just curious as to WHO would be in need of a script writer in this small town. I did need less stressful work that I could do at home, but this was more in the way of "breaking the job search ice" than a call to which I attached any expectations.

I mention this because it has turned out to be a clue to "activation" of universal potentials. I have learned that when I act in the "mind of a child," and with no emotional attachment or anticipation to a given outcome, the universe has a marvelous way of responding with all and everything that is needed. But, that is really getting ahead of the story, because I didn't KNOW that then!

Freddie answered the phone. During the course of the "phone interview," the questions concentrated on my possible qualifications for the job. I frankly told him that I had none. Yes, I had written an unpublished book that was sort of "channeled," one of my hobbies was astrology which, even though I had a computer program to do the calculations, still required a lot of writing; I had written a lot of case reports during the years I worked for the State as a social worker; hypnotherapy case reports, and consulting reports and personality profiles for a firm of attorneys and private investigators.

All of these areas of experience interested Freddie enormously and, after finishing with the basic talk about the job, we moved on to discuss metaphysics and so forth. I mentioned that one of my hobbies was astrology and that I had a nice computer program that produces interesting charts. He wanted me to do his chart, so he gave me his birth data, which included his town of birth, Ypsilanti, Michigan.

We had a long and interesting conversation, discovered that we had read many of the same books and held many of the same opinions about various phenomena, and so on. He made arrangements to visit me in a couple of days to pick up the horoscope, and that was that.

Well, a few minutes after I hung up the phone, it rang again. It was a wrong number, but the crazy thing was that it was a woman calling long distance trying to contact her relatives in Florida and she wanted me to help her find their number. She mentioned that she was calling from Ypsilanti, Michigan! Needless to say, I did a "double-take!"

At the appointed time, Freddie visited. I had an impression of him from his voice, that he would be a very large, portly, man. But, he was, on the contrary, VERY tall and thin.

We began a series of conversations that went on for months. He made it a habit to visit at least once a week. AND, he got me the job as the "script-writer."

So, we were involved on a friendly and professional basis. My ex-husband was jealous of this friendship, but not in the ordinary way, since Freddie is very "androgynous" in appearance and manner. In fact, many people think he is gay. The truth is: he has absolutely NO interest in sex or physical relationships of any kind. He is very much like a child in an adult body, though there is nothing childlike about his intellect.

Anyway, after a long while of discussing philosophy and science and metaphysics in general, and sharing the "Noah Syndrome" with him, the subject moved on to aliens.

You have to understand that, at the time, I was a "flaming skeptic" about aliens in general and specific. I had spent so much time poking around in people's heads in therapeutic ways, that I had determined that such "sightings" and claims of "abductions" were simply a "drama" to express some hidden or repressed elements of the subconscious. I would not even read about them after reading Whitley Streiber's book "Communion" and Ruth Montgomery's "Aliens Among Us." The stories were so "crazy" to me, and smacked of such deep "repressions," that I simply could not consider them to be "real."

Over the years my hypnotherapy had evolved and I found myself doing a lot of "past life regressions" at the request of many clients. This led to an in-depth study of past life therapy, which proved to be so effective that I "specialized" in it. I did not really "believe" in reincarnation, but I figured that, if a person needed to create a drama to resolve an issue, it was fine with me. Whatever works! It was just one of the many tools I used to get people functional and at peace.

The reason I held such a skeptical view was that I had endeavored over the years to establish some "facts" from many of these sessions, and, as the record shows with other therapists, it is very difficult to get verifiable facts in such cases. I became very knowledgeable in history and sometimes it happened that folks knew or described things that were very obscure, but very often, when one attempts to check names and dates, they can find nothing, or another explanation can be offered for their knowledge in the event of a "confirmation."

I was trying to keep an open mind, but at the same time, I was somewhat "clinical" and "scientific" about it all. So, the subject of "aliens" and "abductions" was only of interest to me as an "archetypal drama" of the subconscious mind. The fact that there was so MUCH of it in recent times, I attributed to a sort of "mass hysteria," (which I had also studied) which was communicated rather like the "100th Monkey" syndrome - via the "collective unconscious." I called it the "Millennial Disease," because it had certain factors that were rather like an illness. The purported "physical" effects, I attributed to "stigmata" like effects, or "poltergeist" events.

I knew that the mind can do MANY strange things; so I pretty much had a neatly sewn-up theory about it all, it was labeled, categorized, and tucked into very organized "files" in my mind. So, when Freddie wanted to discuss the alien "business" as a "reality," we fell into a LOT of disagreement. He would shake his head in wonder at my stubbornness in refusing to admit that there was anything "real" about it at all. We were at an impasse on this subject. I even became "contemptuous" and sarcastic when referring to it. I had another name for it: "The Alien Rapture Theory," which I held to be about as reasonable as the various "Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation," and "Post-Tribulation Rapture" theories of the fundamentalist Christians.

So, 1991 passed. Through a series of unusual connections, a chiropractor acquaintance of my mother's asked to see the baby because he had a theory about her illness which was tentatively diagnosed as cystic fibrosis. Since the allopathic routine was having little effect, I didn't feel that I had much to lose, and I agreed. After five "adjustments," I was able to take her off of half her medication. The chiropractor suggested raw goats' milk, and once she was switched to that, she began to thrive. Within another six months, she had regained her weight and no longer looked like a famine victim. Today, she is perfectly normal in every respect except for a tendency to asthma when she catches a cold and has to be watched for that.

In 1992, Freddie and I came up with the idea of "contacting" a "higher source." We had been discussing and reading about channeling for a long time, and we had examined a lot of case histories from the old British SPR files, the Cayce files, and as a result of our studies and discussions on the subject, we decided that contact with true "higher sources" was, in fact, possible.

Part of this theory was that the reason other "sources" proved to be so "human" and "fallible," was because an initial error was made in the thinking of the channels. They assumed that a higher source could just be "called on the phone," so to speak, and that was that. We theorized, from the few flashes of "light" we could discern in the vast body of material, that an occasional "higher level" being would try to communicate, but was prevented by a number of factors.

The chief obstruction being the "cloud" of lower level beings and thoughts that apparently surrounded our realm like a curtain. These "dark thoughts" were, in my opinion, the result of "programmed" religious teachings.

By this time, I had much experience in Dr. Baldwin's Spirit Release techniques, and had even encountered what I would call a REAL cases of possession by dark entities that were not "dead dudes." And, I had many conversations with both "dead dudes" and other types of entities. For the most part, they often said exactly the same things that many channeled teachings say, but when pressed for sources themselves, it became clear that, as Edgar Cayce said: "A dead Presbyterian is just that: a dead Presbyterian." They had a perspective that we don't have in the body, but the level of knowledge is simply not, for the most part, any greater. And, in fact, most knowledge gained by human effort surpassed this information.

Yes, as I began to accept the idea of "dead dudes" because of my work and all the material I was collecting, I began to wonder if there was anything truly "higher," and if so, what it was and how "high" could one really go?

In my research on the subject, I identified the second obstruction which I called the "transducing factor" which was related to the evidential idea that a truly higher level source simply could not make a full and secure connection because it would be like trying to run a 110V appliance on 220V current. If it was a "higher" source, by definition, it's energy would so overwhelm any human recipient that it could not be sustained.

There were many case histories that supported this hypothesis, and many examples of people who went mad after trying.

For the most part, it was clear that such efforts posed many dangers as explicated in extensive readings in ancient literature and various Eastern teachings.

Our analysis of the various methods presented its own problems. Relative to the theorized "high voltage" of such "higher sources," we decided that the only way to make such a contact was to combine the energies of two or more people as a "receiver," and then to attempt to "tune" the receiver with repeated acts of "intent." In this way, we felt that the "cloud" or "veil" could be penetrated rather like "breaking" through a dyke.

Clearly, the only real way to combine energies as a "receiver" was to use some form of "communication" that REQUIRED more than one person. The obvious answer was a board type instrument. Naturally, this requires a high level of trust since each person must endeavor to be "clean and clear" in their participation, and must trust that the other is making similar efforts. I felt that Freddie was as sincerely interested in the experiment as I was, so that trust was established.

Another consideration was to keep the psyche "clean" and allow it to "tune" without energy drains from other things that might be "plugged" in. So, this brought in the elements of Spirit Release Therapy which we employed regularly on ourselves as a form of spiritual hygience. I utilized, in a modified form, Dr. Carl Wickland's method of what I call "Spirit Viewing," on myself, and did the work with Freddie directly.

This "Spirit Viewing" technique has many other interesting applications in terms of discovering the true nature of any given individual without violating free will, and I still employ it regularly. I have always found it to be accurate, even on occasions when I initially doubted that what was seen could be true. As an aside, I will note that most "interfering energies" present themselves in archetypal symbols of a fairly homogeneous character - a fascinating field of study in and of itself.

So, we thought we had a pretty good theory and we decided to put it into the test phase keeping in mind the dangers.

We began. We met every week to sit and attempt contact. Except to say that we spent many months receiving just nonsense before we "graduated" to "dead dudes," I will leave this subject hanging in the background. I have a dozen or more notebooks which record every motion of the planchette for over two years.
