I am in the process of writing a book called “The Ascension Papers”. It’s available for you to read-as-I-write on my website. I’d like to invite you to come and read it and engage with me.
By way of introduction to the book I thought it would be apropos to for me give you a thumb-nail sketch of what "ascension" is and how it might be manifesting itself in your life.
The Ascension Papers are written in the form of a series of discussions… question-and-answer sessions between myself and members of my spirit family. So, yes, this is what many would call a “channelled” work. And in keeping with that I am going to do the same here: in order to write this article I am going to ask my own inner-self to converse with me. Practically, the way this works is that I ask a question (or make a statement) and then I intuitively feel the answer as a pure-thought construct which I then “translate” into English and type. There really is no hocus pocus involved… just me sitting with my laptop typing. So there is no sense in which I expect you to give extra credence to anything said because it is “channelled from beyond”. These are just words… just thoughts expressed. And how I derive this information is, I believe, very much less important than the message itself. It is in reading what is said that you will be able to discern for yourself if it is “right for you” or not. And if it isn’t PLEASE feel free to just move on to something else that is more to your liking!"

Notes toward a General Theory of Paranormal Phenomena by John Walker
Some sceptics dismiss evidence for paranormal phenomena (telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, etc.) without serious examination on the grounds that the phenomena it purports to demonstrate violate fundamental principles of science and hence the evidence must be flawed or fabricated. This is not an unreasonable position to adopt in considering scientific evidence.
While it's important to have an open mind, one also must take care that one's brain doesn't fall out. The world abounds in bogus, flaky, and misinterpreted data, and filtering by the plausibility of the phenomena suggested is a useful way to discard time-wasting distractions. It's like the venture capital aphorism, “Never invest in something that violates a conservation law.” If somebody claims to have invented a perpetual motion machine, nobody is likely to pay attention to the evidence until they explain why it is exempt from conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics.

-MAD: Alex, it’s great to have this opportunity to speak with you today. For the folks who might not know, you run your own website and e-zine entitled PHANTOM MAGAZINE where you cover all sorts of weird happenings. You’ve also co-founded your own paranormal research group which personally examines accounts of the unexplained and tries to prove, or debunk specific cases of anomalous manifestations, such as hauntings and possessions. What set you on the path of researching such arcane matters, and how did ‘Phantom Magazine’ first come about?

THoTH - I've been impressed with this piece of writing ever since I first read it way back when, it is as valid today as it has always been. It is the work of Daniel Drasin, a writer and media producer. He has kindly given permission to reproduce it here, thank you Daniel. Enjoy!
INTRODUCTION
So you've had a close encounter with a UFO. Or a serious interest in the subject of extramundane life. Or a passion for following clues that seem to point toward the existence of a greater reality. Mention any of these things to most working scientists and be prepared for anything from patronizing skepticism to merciless ridicule. After all, science is supposed to be a purely hardnosed enterprise with little patience for "expanded" notions of reality. Right?
Wrong.

I remember the day I went into the hospital to give birth to Robert. It was March 14, 1989 and you would think it was a summer day. It was warm and the sun was shinning. I was excited to see what this beautiful baby that shared the same birthday with Albert Einstein would share with the world.
At three months old Robert loved to eat but was unable to drink a full bottle of formula without throwing up. The pediatrician changed Roberts’s formula several times and recommended a strict feeding schedule. Being a young new Mom, I really did not think it was abnormal for a newborn baby to take three hours to finish four ounces of formula. It was obvious he was hungry but all the effort it took for him to finish one bottle was exhausting. My constant complaints to the doctor fell on deaf ears.

These notes have been prepared for those wishing to obtain a basic understanding of dowsing. It is not my intention to present these notes as hard and fast facts, but rather encourage their use as a guide, and perhaps encourage the reader to undertake further study.
It is absolutely essential each of us develop techniques, interpretations and an understanding, which suit our own belief systems and reality.
I must stress that the ethics associated with dowsing are fundamental to achieving any level of consistency. In these notes you will find heavy emphasis is placed on ethics and attunement. It is essential that each of us develops and refines our own unique personal process that will help us enter the essential state of attunement.

If you've not heard his name before, so much the better. Perhaps you've heard a little about him, or seen his name in a book. The reality is that Daniel Dunglas Home (pronounced Hume) brought remarkable phenomena to this world. He is a name that no serious study of the paranormal should omit.
Home was Born in Currie, near Edinburgh in Scotland on March 20th 1833, and was taken to Connecticut in the United States when he was 9. His first paranormal experiences were visions of events that hadn't yet took place. Then, when his mother died in 1850, he experienced poltergeist like phenomena on objects near him.
Some conclude that poltergeists are in reality, examples of objects moving under the control of someone present, rather than the acts of disembodied ghostly pranksters. Certainly in Homes case that was true. Raps on furniture, as well as it moving around, but only when he was near. It is also theorised that Poltergeists are the result of troubled minds, that move objects randomly. Certainly with Homes mother dying this also could have had an effect.

-MAD: Paul and Phillip, thank you so much for engaging in this discussion today, I’ve been looking forward to it. I recently had the opportunity to finish an e-book copy of your work THE ASCENDANCY OF THE SCIENTIFIC DICTATORSHIP (which you so graciously sent me), and it was a highly researched and impressive read. While we might have some differences of opinion regarding the religious aspect of things, I pretty much agree with the technical information you are providing, and think you’re right on the mark with the great majority of your conclusions.......

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river that carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.—Jorge Luis Borges
The story you are about to read is true.
“John,” the voice on the phone said, “I have some very bad news.” My best friend George Sebastian Viguet III (pronounced “Vee-gay”) had died that day of a massive heart attack, his wife informed me. Born in White Castle, Louisiana on January 24th, 1947 he was a vibrant, young man of 40 when his life ended suddenly that Monday morning—officially stated on the Certificate of Death as 9:30 A.M. on November 9th, 1987 in Huntsville, Alabama.

Beliefs and superstitions can be scientifically explained: Belief in the supernatural originates in childhood.
Supernatural beliefs can best be explained by looking at an individual's tendency to rely on indistinguished childhood perceptions of the world.
These perceptions tend to mix the core attributes of non-living, living and psychical things. In adults this mixing of core knowledge can operate in conjunction with scientific and other knowledge acquired through education.
