Have you ever had the problem with a good friend who keeps coming up with conspiracy theories? You do not what to tell them to shut up or act rude in anyway towards them, but it just gets aggravating and they will not stop. Well here is a thought, simply tell them matter of factly and ask them these questions;

1. Why do you keep coming up with all these conspiracy theories?
2. What is going on?
3. Are you allowing your IQ to create a sense of paranoia, mild schizophrenia, why?
4. Have you been visited by those wannabe, spooks?

If so, we all have, get over it. If all that bothers you then smile at them or have fun with them, lead them on, spook them back. You know you owe it to yourself to stop this paranoia. Use your mind and logic.

You have more conspiracy theories stuck in your head than anyone I have ever met, so either you are not real, this is a test or you need to consider re-self-evaluation and ditch the paranoia, not all those dots connect, you only connected them in your mind, which is okay to do, but realize not all those connections are valid.

This is the same problem with AI going thru scores or terabytes of data scanning for possible terrorists in that you make anything look related as everyone is 3-6 people deep (degrees of separation), but that does not mean the model you created in your mind fits. It might, but it also might be a bunch of non-related false positives. Ockham’s Razor helps, use it often.

The Physical-Etheric Nucleus

Each subtle body has a nucleus – which metaphysicists Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant had described as a “permanent particle” almost a century ago. Leadbeater calls the nucleus of the higher etheric double a “physical-etheric atom”. Information about the relevant subtle body is stored in this particle (its composition, frequency, structure and associative memories). In this way the experiences that the subtle body has gone through in this universe are stored or are linked to this nucleus – according to Leadbeater and Besant. The particle is analogous to DNA in the biomolecular body. DNA is referred to as a “bioparticle” in the medical literature and it stores or links vast amounts of information about a particular life-form. Hindu metaphysics describes these particles or nuclei as “bindus” and Tibetan yoga “drops”.

The physical-etheric nucleus is transferred to higher energy bodies when the subtle body dies – serving the same purposes as a “black box” flight recorder in an airplane in preserving information about a particular life’s experiences. This nucleus is also responsible for the life review in a near-death experience. According to Besant, the permanent particles are used to preserve within themselves as “powers of vibrations” (i.e. different frequencies and waveforms) the results of all experiences through which they have passed. By the end of one’s life in the physical body, the permanent particle (or physical-etheric nucleus) would have stored up “innumerable powers of vibration” (i.e. a set of waveforms of different frequencies). The particle usually resides (probably in an electromagnetic well) around the heart region of the physical-biomolecular and lower physical-etheric body.

Plasma Spheres

Bohm, a leading expert in twentieth century plasma physics, observed in amazement that once electrons were in plasma, they stopped behaving like individuals and started behaving as if they were a part of a larger and interconnected whole. Although the individual movements of each electron appeared to be random, vast numbers of electrons were able to produce collective effects that were surprisingly well organized and appeared to behave like a life form. The plasma constantly regenerated itself and enclosed impurities in a wall in the same way that a biological organism, like the unicellular amoeba, might encase a foreign substance in a cyst. So amazed was Bohm by these life-like qualities that he later remarked that he frequently had the impression that the electron sea was “alive” and that plasma possesses some of the traits of living things.

David Cohen reported in the journal New Scientist that “plasma blobs” hint at a new form of life. In 2003 physicists, Erzilia lozneanu and Mircea Sanduloviciu, described in their research paper Minimal Cell System created in Laboratory by Self-Organization, how they created plasma spheres in the laboratory that can grow, replicate and communicate – fulfilling most of the traditional requirements for biological cells. They are convinced that these plasma spheres offer a radically new explanation of how life began and were precursors to biochemical evolution.

Each plasma sphere had a boundary made up of two layers – an outer layer of negatively charged electrons and an inner layer of positively charged ions. The researchers were quick to point out that a distinct boundary layer that confines and separates an object from its environment is an important characteristic of a living cell. Trapped inside the boundary was an inner nucleus of gas atoms – which was surrounded by a luminous sheet. An electric field was present between the boundary and nucleus, within which electrons are accelerated. The evolved sphere appears as a stable, self-confined, layered, luminous and nearly spherical body – much like the “orbs” described in the paranormal literature and discussed below.

Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu describe a rhythmic “inhalation” of the nucleus which mimics the breathing process of living systems and results in pulsations. The spheres could replicate by splitting into two. Under the right conditions they got bigger, taking up neutral argon atoms and splitting them into ions and electrons to replenish their boundary layers. Finally, they could communicate information by emitting electromagnetic energy, making the atoms within other spheres vibrate at a particular frequency. “This is no different from the vibrating diaphragm in a telephone which enables information to be communicated from one point to another,” says Cohen. This gives plasma spheres an ability which would be described as telepathic if we did not know how electromagnetic waves worked.

According to Sanduloviciu, these plasma spheres were the first cells on Earth, arising within electric storms, and he believes that the emergence of such spheres is a prerequisite for the evolution of biochemical cells. He says that the cell-like spheres could be at the origin of other forms of life we have not yet considered. “There could be life out there, but not as we know it” he says. Indeed, according to plasma metaphysics, the subtle bodies and orbs (described in the metaphysical and paranormal literature) are plasma-based life forms. The plasma spheres resemble biological cells – with a nucleus, membrane and intelligent motion.

In 2004 (as reported in the Physical News Update by Phil Schewe and Ben Stein) an experiment was conducted where particles in a plasma crystal arranged themselves into neat concentric shells (or rings - from a two-dimensional perspective), to a total ball diameter of several millimeters. These orderly Coulomb balls, consisting of aligned, concentric shells of dust particles, survived for long periods. (Dark matter halos around galaxies also have similar structures.) This structure was described as an “onion-like architecture”.

Orbs

Paranormal analyst, Allan Danelek (in his book The Case for Ghosts) says, “One could think of orbs as ‘tiny ghosts’ moving around a room, their essence being contained within a tiny sphere of pure energy, like air inside a bubble.” This description could easily fit into the description of life-like plasma spheres generated in the laboratory by Lozneanu and Sanduloviciu. Furthermore the pulsating plasma spheres would also give readings of a fluctuating electromagnetic field.

“Nine times out of ten, if a mysterious field is constant and stable, it’s artificial; if it fluctuates erratically, it’s paranormal.” - Joshua Warren, Ghost Hunter

According to the paranormal literature “orbs” are light anomalies that appear on photographs and video as spherical balls of light but as flashes of light to the naked eye because of their rapid speed of motion. They exhibit intentional behavior – suggesting some consciousness or awareness of the environment. Orbs often travel in groups or clusters i.e. they exhibit swarm behavior – also a characteristic of particles in plasma – a characteristic observed by Bohm (see above). Orbs also can dart back and forth rapidly like amoebic life-forms in a Petri dish. The balls can be transparent, translucent or in a bright solid form. These are signature features of magnetic plasma which has the natural property of being able to change its degree of opacity when internal frequencies change. Magnetic plasma would also allow orbs to change their output of light or luminosity.

Looking at these balls in close-up reveals that they possess an onion-like layered structure i.e. they have concentric shells – a signature feature of plasma crystals. Danelek says, “…’true orbs’ do not reflect light the same way a dust particle or flying insect does, but are instead generally more opaque and, in some cases, even appear to have rings within them.” Experienced ghost hunter Joshua Warren (in his excellent book How to Hunt Ghosts) says, “Often, orbs appear to have a nucleus, just like a cell. The nucleus might be surrounded by ‘bands’ – concentric circles emerging from it. In fact, it might appear like an onion that’s been chopped in half.” All these characteristics are almost identical to plasma spheres and plasma crystals generated in the laboratory.

Some believe that an orb is a human soul or the life force of those that once inhabited a physical-dense body. Psychics claim to be able to communicate with them on a regular basis, and ghost hunters encounter them quite frequently in photographs and video. It is thought that they are conscious spirits that have stayed behind because they feel bound to their previous life or previous location for whatever reason – a typical characteristic of “Earth-bound” physical-etheric ghosts.

Interactions with Ordinary Matter

Orbs resemble plasma spheres in many ways. However, while plasma spheres generated in the laboratory are composed of standard particles (i.e. the particles described in the physicists’ Standard Model currently), orbs are composed of super (i.e. supersymmetric) collisionless dark matter particles. This allows orbs to pass through objects and walls (just like ghosts).

Dark matter in the physical-etheric universe can only interact with ordinary matter if their energy levels temporarily fall and ordinary matter condenses around them. Warren believes that since ghosts have an electrostatic field, it makes sense that particles from the atmosphere would be trapped in the field. This would form a tiny clump of particles that betrays the presence of the ghost. He says that, based on readings on electromagnetic meters during paranormal investigations, paranormal orbs carry a charge of static electricity. Dr Michael Persinger, a lab-based parapsychologist, and his colleagues demonstrated a link between strong or varying electromagnetic fields and orb activity. Orbs are also said to travel along Birkeland currents (i.e. ley or energy lines). This is another characteristic of their electromagnetic nature – which suggests that they are composed of magnetic plasma which is a good generator of electromagnetic fields and a good radiator of electromagnetic waves.

According to Warren, orbs are most active in the deep infrared region. In 1983, physicist Pierre Sikivie proposed a technique to detect invisible dark matter particles called “axions”. His technique called for a high “Q” microwave cavity, permeated by a strong static magnetic field. In the magnetic field, axions were expected to convert into microwave photons. Microwaves are in between the infrared region and radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. If ghosts are composed of dark matter particles, it can be hypothesized that they too would generate infrared radiation in the presence of a strong magnetic field and even radio waves which can be received by our radios.

Conclusion

According to plasma metaphysics, (genuine) orbs are the physical-etheric nuclei that are released from dying persons. Most of these nuclei exit-out of our universe through vortexes after the death of the higher physical-etheric body and are absorbed into the next higher energy body in the next universe – most frequently what metaphysicists describe as the “astral body” and the “astral plane or sphere”. However, some stay behind because of unfinished business or some psychological attachment to the physical life that just ended. These are the (genuine) orbs that we see in photographs and videos. This conclusion is consistent with the theory of some paranormal investigators that spirits may find it easier to travel from one dimension to another in the form of orbs which can move more easily (than full-blown subtle bodies) through vortexes to another universe.

A number may also get reabsorbed into human embryos to start a new life in this physical-dense universe (i.e. they reincarnate in a physical-dense body). They grow with the embryo and facilitate the morphogenesis of the physical-dense and lower physical-etheric body. As they grow they absorb more energy and particles from the ionized (physical-etheric) environment and eventually become full-blown ovoids with “subtle bodies” inside. In this particular case, the subtle body will be the (higher) physical-etheric body or the “physical-double”.

During death, the ovoid contracts into the physical-etheric nucleus (by dispersing its contents) and is released from the dying physical body after traveling through a meridian (which is associated with the lower physical-etheric body) and exits from the head to emerge as an orb with a bright nucleus. Details of this process can be found in the author’s book Our Invisible Bodies.

If you live in the suburbs of the New York Metropolitan area on Long Island, you’re constantly under the influence of historical places, legendary tales, paranormal hotspots and a huge Government Contractor presence. I lived in Nassau County which has more than its share of historical places, haunted houses, frightening legends and UFO sightings. But if you want lots more, just head out east to Suffolk.

It was during my first visit to the historic Montauk Lighthouse that I noticed the huge radar dish which immediately identifies the Montauk Base. I must have been about eight years old and remember asking my parents about the monstrous structure. My father said it was part of a system to detect incoming enemy aircraft or missiles. As a retired Air Force Officer, he would know about that. However, I’m certain that he had no idea what future (or past) events would give that base such an infamous reputation.

I had plenty of friends that worked in the Long Island technical community. During the days of the Cold War, those jobs were everywhere if you qualified. Part of qualifying sometimes meant having a parent or other relative already on the inside. David was a good example. His father worked for the government or government contractors since the days of the Second World War. That helped David put his engineering degree to good use for the same company where his dad worked until his death a few years back.

I thought I had a good working knowledge of the Philadelphia Experiment up until 1987. After years of researching it and speaking with second and third hand witnesses, I was about to get a bit closer. David asked me to come and give a lunchtime talk about UFOs for his coworkers. His company sponsored these midday events once a month for employees who cared to attend. It was all about lessening stress in a very stressful work environment.

After discussing UFO reports and sightings on Long Island for about fifty minutes, I asked if anyone had comments or questions. There were plenty. Most came from people that had seen UFOs themselves. For some reason, there weren’t many skeptics in the room. One guy asked me about the Philadelphia Experiment. In turn, I asked if everyone in the room was interested enough in the subject for me to spend another twenty or thirty minutes talking about it? They were.

I gave the group a kind of thumbnail sketch about the infamous World War II Navy project, then proceeded to explain how a simple program to degauss battleships turned into a massive project to make ships invisible. I explained how there was credible evidence to believe that scientists and engineers working out of Princeton under Einstein had actually made a ship invisible and opened a sort of space time portal during a series of experiments.

The experiments took place in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and along the east coast of the United States. The trial and error process saw a test crew placed aboard a battleship escort vessel for sea trials of the new technology. A technology which didn’t always work correctly costing lives and creating more questions than answers.

David called later that night to thank me for speaking at the lunchtime event. He said everyone that came to the event talked about it for the rest of the day and those that didn‘t attend, wish they had. I thanked him and admitted that I came away with as much information as I had imparted in terms of UFO sightings. After some friendly chatter, he invited me to his house on Saturday and said he had wanted to discuss something about my investigations. He asked if I would come alone and I agreed.

Saturday arrived and found me standing at David’s door around two in the afternoon. He opened the door and invited me in. My friend looked spent. I sat down in his living room and waited while he ran down to the basement to get something. He reappeared moments later with a large lockbox, opened it and handed me an old photo album. I asked him if I could run my cassette player. Knowing I was terrible at taking notes, he agreed. I would have to turn it off when he told me. Then he dropped the bomb.

“I wanted to tell you about my father, ah, after he passed away. It was, ah, ___. I didn‘t know anything about it before that.” David stated. “I was worried about getting both of us in trouble, you know? Now I want someone else to know, ah, somebody. I guess it‘s your lucky day.” I began looking at the album. “My dad was at Princeton in 1940,” he continued. “When you, ah, presented that information about the Philadelphia Experiment, I know he was involved with, ah, something at that time.” He had my full attention.

“_____ (the family lawyer) gave me this lockbox. He didn’t want any responsibility. He didn’t have the key. It was at home hanging on a hook in the closet, you know? _____ instructed me to open the box at home.”

I looked through the album while David spoke and noticed a number of photos of his Dad with Navy Officers. Before I could ask where they were taken, I recognized the Philadelphia Naval Yard Hospital in a couple of the pictures. By 1987, I visited that area a half dozen times.

“Ah, I opened the box and ___. There was a note on top of a photo album and journal. He didn‘t want anyone to know about all this. I think he would want you to know. I don’t know. He was protecting me. I haven’t told anyone, _____. If mom knew, she never said.” David’s mom passed away from cancer when he was just fifteen.

At that point he asked me to shut off the recorder and I complied. It was making him really nervous. David removed a small and very old leather bound journal from a fireproof lock box. While removing the cloth from around it, he told me to keep everything quiet. The idea was to point me in the right direction, but keep his father’s information of the radar screen. I was fine with that and honored that agreement for as long as requested. He began to fill in the blanks.

His dad was a gifted engineer and had a knack for designing complicated machines and electronic devices. Radio and electronics were a hobby for him, but he was better at those things than most professionals. I assume both talents came in handy for the Philadelphia Experiment.

David asked me to listen while he read from the journal. It was a diary that his father kept during the early 1940s. He carefully chose sections that could be read, ignored others and explained that there were things he couldn’t share with me. I understood and was grateful for what he was willing to reveal.

He read about ten hand-written pages. Although no names or specifics were mentioned, the diary did note that he was at Princeton working on a project special project during World War II. He was one of several young prodigies personally recommended by Albert Einstein and engaged by the Navy. They were developing a system of magnetic detection devices to protect our harbors against infiltration by ships and submarines. These would be part of a multi-faceted system which would include radar, hydrophones, magnetic detection devices and more. That was what they told him.

Everything changed when he arrived at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The group from Princeton was told to develop a system which would demagnetize ships and make them radar invisible. David skipped over a lot. When he resumed reading, his father was in the middle of an experiment with one of the moored ships. There were no crew members on board, just several carefully chosen junior officers that acted as caretakers.

During the process of testing equipment, there was an accident. It looked as though one of the junior officers was electrocuted. He accidentally touched an open circuit while standing in the middle of an area filled with electronics and powerful magnetic fields. The power was shut down and he fell to the floor. When the technicians got to him, he had a pulse and didn’t look burned. The young Officer was sent to the Naval Shipyard Hospital.

The junior officer was back with a clean bill of health a few hours later. David’s father and another member of the team spotted him and headed over to see if he was alright. Before they could reach him, the young man entered a hatchway and vanished around a corner. The engineers didn’t think much about it at the time because it was easy to lose sight of people inside a ship.

Several hours later, everyone was ready to call it day. The young officer was no where to be found. Despite a careful search through that ship and others in the area, he could not be located. The next day there was a more comprehensive search which turned up nothing. David’s father and his associate were extensively questioned as were others that saw him enter the hatchway, but no blame was pointed in their direction. Those in charge already seemed to know what happened to him.

The Navy was satisfied that the junior officer didn’t voluntarily vanish, was not a spy and probably fell overboard as a result of a belated reaction to the electrocution. That was the official position. It was more likely that the young man melted into the ship’s superstructure or floated off into some ethereal realm. That situation was repeated on a larger scale during other attempts to test Philadelphia Experiment technologies.

David stopped reading and stared blankly at me. I didn’t really know what to say. Sensing I was at a loss for words, he told me that this was the first and last time he would be able to share this information with me. I passed the photo album back to him; he placed the journal on top of it and carefully locked everything up in the box. I left with a million more questions than answers.

Sadly, David passed away a few years ago. His death was the tragic result of an auto accident and was completely unexpected. With no will or preparations in place, I asked his surviving relatives about any photo albums or a diary belonging to his father they might have found. They seemed genuinely surprised and said that no such items were found among David‘s possessions. I thought it wise not to pursue the matter. His death ended my agreement to keep the information he provided to myself.

A year after David’s stunning revelation I met several people with similar stories. They are Al Bielek, Preston Nichols and Duncan Cameron. All three claimed involvement with projects once headquartered at the Montauk Air Force Station. These projects used technologies developed from the Philadelphia Experiment and involved invisibility, time travel, mind control, remote viewing and psychic war fare. After a lot of phone work, Bielek, Nichols and Cameron agreed to meet a small of group of people assembled to evaluate their claims and film their testimony.

Their revelations about the Montauk Air Force Station were stunning and their attention to detail was amazing. I listened to them for almost twelve hours and ended up with a good four hours of solid information non film. One of the people who came there with me was a technical writer with a great deal of government project experience. I asked him to evaluate the information and render an opinion. When the session was over, he went home and didn’t call me for several days. When we finally touched base, he said that he was not able to sleep. He believed their story and it really troubled him. Without going in to detail, he said that it answered a lot of questions about strange things he came across over the years.

Stories of secret projects on Long Island didn’t begin with Montauk. They go back over one hundred years and begin with tunnels allegedly built by Nicola Tesla. These underground passageways have been described as everything from tiny in certain areas to labyrinth-sized in others. They begin at Tesla’s experimental Wardenclyffe facility (built in 1901) in the Shoreham area and extend outward. Officially, they are supposed to be just a few hundred feet long and a merely a foot wide. However, a number of people report exploring these tunnels when they were temporarily opened back in the 1960s.

The tunnel entrances and exits were being prepared for permanent closure and were sealed shortly afterward. According to those witnesses the underground passageways are huge and go on for miles in all directions. Tesla may have built these tunnels as energy collectors. Some contained huge copper wires connected to what looked like some sort of capacitors and ran in a wide circle to and from Wardenclyffe and other areas. Tunnels identical to these have been reported as far west as Middle Island, in a number of other areas and all the way to the south shore. Based on the way everything was set up, this was not an energy distribution system. If not, what kind of energy was Tesla trying to collect?

After Wardenclyffe, Tesla was suddenly interested in things like interplanetary communication and particle beam weapons. The special energies or power he appeared to seek on Long Island must have inspired him. These forces may still exist today and might be related to the time travel experiments at Montauk. I believe that the Philadelphia Experiment opened a time or energy portal that may extend back over a hundred years. That portal was created when the USS Eldridge became invisible and traveled through time and space.

Evidence of this comes in the form of an odd and modern looking warship that was spotted off the south shore of Long Island and in other places before and after World War I and during World War II. And there’s more. If these energies exist, they would play havoc with the environment from a temporal standpoint. That may already be happening.

Montauk is a place where whole areas of trees just vanish. Others grow in a slanting position towards the direction of the base. Huge rocks and heavy objects appear to move from one place to another by themselves. UFOs and glowing lights are seen in the skies and just under the surface of the waters that surround it. The Montauk base always seems to be at the center of everything strange. Psychics and those sensitive to unseen forces claim to detect unusual energy fields.

When I first visited the allegedly deactivated Montauk Air Force Station in the late 1980s, there were clearly signs that the base was still very active. Office buildings had desks and chairs that seemed fairly new. The lights and phones worked. Heat flowed through above ground pipes and water was available to flush toilets in the restrooms. The smell of freshly prepared food emanated from vents that were originally designed to provide air for the gun emplacement bunkers. The former PX building looked like a modified cafeteria with hundreds of military-style meal trays carefully stored on racks inside.

The base was patrolled by men that were obviously Marines dressed as fisherman. I say Marines because I found Marine emblems displayed on the inside of buildings throughout the base. These very tall and fit guys wandered through the base. They walked up and down the beach and near the bluffs from the lighthouse to just west of the base. If you were spotted by them, they would politely suggest that you be would safer staying in the public areas of the lighthouse to the east. If you didn’t leave, they would be less polite and summon the local or State Police.

Whether Montauk is still active remains to be seen. If it is, those in charge are unlikely to make the same mistakes that lead the witnesses like those which have contacted me to do so again. Anyone working in secret areas of the base nowadays will not be brainwashed techies or human test subjects previously exposed to secret technologies. They’ll be dyed in the wool government operatives that are unlikely to come forward with any information.

Although there are a number of other facilities around the Country being used in a similar manner, Montauk seems to be the focal point for whatever has evolved from the original time travel, psychic warfare, remote viewing and mind control experiments. Today’s Montauk Project would properly be very difficult to describe in everyday terms. That’s why I felt a need to create a sequel to The Truth about the Philadelphia Experiment DVD Set.

As the person who filmed the original testimony of Preston Nichols, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron, I felt obliged to provide more. That was not an easy thing to do. I wasn’t just the first person to film these witnesses; I was also the first researcher to bring their story to the world. Let’s face it; the original story is a hard act to follow and is just a sampling of the larger volume of information I have uncovered about secret technologies and their development. What pleases me most about the original information provided on VHS and DVD is that time has proven it to be true. I expect the same will happen with the new and more complete revelations.

A recent example of how correct those three original witnesses were involves their revelations about the planet Mars. They spoke about using the Montauk Project technology to visit underground areas on Mars and move about in secret caves. Their statements matched information presented during an episode of Science Report, a British Television Series that aired during the 1970s. That episode was titled, Alternative Three.

According to the critically-acclaimed Science Report, the U.S. Space Program was further along than people thought. The show revealed that landings on Mars had been a regular event since the 1960s. It also laid out the plan to transport important and innovation people with technical backgrounds to Mars. The excuse for all this was the coming environment chaos caused by pollution, over-population and industrial excess. However, I felt there was a less philanthropic force at work and the Montauk Survivor statements seem to back that up.

More than a few people laughed at the premise of Alternative Three and the statements by Al, Preston and Duncan about Mars. However, thanks to NASA probes and studies of Mars, they are not laughing as hard as they used to. Scientists now tell us that they have found evidence of entrances to huge underground caves on Mars. They also say that huge blocks of ice and perhaps even water exist just under the Martian surface. In short, just about everything needed to build a self sustaining underground environment for humans already exists on Mars.

Government manipulation of time and meddling with people’s memories makes it difficult to draw a clear picture of what has happened and continues to happen through the Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project. That information seems strange and convoluted to anyone unfamiliar with the world of secret government projects and technologies. However, that doesn’t make it any less true.

Hairy, bipedal creatures haunt the backcountry of our world. Science dismisses them as specters of our imaginations, while many who believe in their existence brush them off as just big, dumb agpes. Certainly, they lack the attributes we associate with sentient life: self-awareness, language, culture, burial customs, art, and music.

But we can really claim to own the copyright to those behaviors? How smart are Bigfoots? Animals possess keen intelligence, the ability to make crude tools, and emotions akin to human feelings. We can learn a great deal about Bigfoot intelligence by examining the intellect of animals.

Parrots can talk. Everyone knows this. But few of us realize that the vocal repertoire of these birds extends beyond mere mimicry into the realm of communication. Parrots can learn to identify objects and speak the correct names for those objects. A parrot named Alex, owned by Dr. Irene Pepperberg of the University of Arizona, can identify objects by color, shape, and material. He also understands relative differences: “bigger,” “smaller,” “same,” and “different.” Dr. Pepperberg refuses to label Alex’s speech as language, though the implications seem clear. If a parrot can identify objects, he must use deductive reasoning to rule out the possibilities. Is the material wool, or cotton candy? Even if the wool is pink like cotton candy, Alex can distinguish the materials.

Other scientists have dismissed Alex’s abilities as a fluke or, more cynically, as unconscious cues from Dr. Pepperberg. Detractors point to other instances of animals whose miraculous abilities were shown to stem from cues in the trainer’s body language rather than from the animal’s own mind. To date, however, no one has proven that Alex’s speech skills originate in Dr. Pepperberg’s actions instead of his intellect.

Apes have demonstrated considerable talents in the area of nonverbal communication. They’ve also shown signs of what can be interpreted as consciousness. Many skeptics continue to assert that animals cannot possess consciousness, since they lack the ability to formulate languages. However, we base our idea of what constitutes a language solely on our own species. Who can say that animals don’t have language? Does a dog’s barking convey different meanings to other dogs depending on the pitch and duration? Can gorillas converse through gestures? Until we can telepathically enter the minds of animals, and listen in to their thoughts, we shouldn’t presume to understand their mental processes. We can, however, examine their behavior for clues.

The most notable example of nonhuman communication comes from the ape world. A gorilla named Koko has learned to communicate with her handlers via sign language. She can modify her responses to indicate a specific request, such as “scratch my neck,” instead of just answering yes or no. Dr. Valerie Chalcraft spoke about Koko’s linguistic skills at the Gestural Communication in Nonhuman and Human Primates Workshop at the Max Planck Institute in March 2004. Dr. Chalcraft described how, when asked where she would like to be tickled, Koko would instruct her handler to tickle a particular part of her body, such as her foot. According to Dr. Chalcraft, this behavior echoes the way in which humans alter their signing to be more specific.

A study of chimpanzees found that they could both recognize their own images in mirrors and realize the image they saw as a reflection. When the researcher placed colored dots on the chimps’ foreheads, the animals would touch the dot on their heads instead of the dot in the reflection on the mirror. They seemed to understand the difference between the reflected image and their own bodies, while also recognizing they’d spotted themselves in the mirror. In another case, a chimp grasped the concept of death—when informed her baby had died, Washoe became withdrawn and depressed. Chimps also can learn to make and use stone tools. In some cases, chimpanzees travel great distances to find a good rock, suitable for tool use back at the food source.

Elsewhere in the animal kingdom, the caretakers of a dolphin named Ake taught her an artificial language consisting of gestures. Each gesture represented a word: the name of an object, an action, or the position of an object. Once Ake had mastered the language, the researchers complicated things by introducing grammar, constructing sentences of up to five gesture words. Ake excelled at this too. Not only did she comprehend the syntax of each sentence based on words already in her vocabulary, she could understand sentences built on completely new words. She even realized when her trainers tried to trick her with nonsense words, or instructions to perform impossible tasks.

The evidence does more than suggest animals possess incredible intelligence, it practically screams at us. Whether ape or hominid, Bigfoots are animals. If we underestimate the intelligence of animals whose existence no one disputes, then we must reevaluate how we measure the intelligence of a species about which we know so little.

Animals are smart. Why should we expect less from Bigfoots?

Scientific researchers at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, using sophisticated scientific equipment, have shown that subtle energy has the properties of an electromagnetic current when flowing through acupuncture meridians but takes on the properties of coherent particle streams, similar to laser light, when projected out from the body through the hands of master Qigong healers who cure diseases by beaming their energy into the patient’s body. There are important chakras on the palms of the hands. To understand how we can beam energy (which is manifested as coherent light) from chakras, some understanding of the structure and dynamics of chakras would be useful.

How do Chakras Form?

Barbara Brennan, former NASA engineer and now world-renowned energy healer, describes chakras as “swirling cone-shaped vortexes in the human energy field.” From the perspective of plasma metaphysics, chakras (or “wheels” in Sanskrit) can be considered to be composed of two components: one, a magnetized node and two, a rotating cone structure or vortex that forms in the low density magnetic plasma that subtle bodies are composed of.

In laboratory experiments, it has recently been realized that a localized source at a fixed frequency excites a cone of radiation in a plasma crystal. The apex of the cone will be pointed towards the source and the angle of the cone is determined by its spin frequency. Excitations from fast moving particles in a plane below or next to a single-layered plasma crystal give rise to these cones. According to plasma cosmology, rotating galaxies in space are formed when filamentary currents pinch. This can happen when two currents move towards or cross each other. Dr David Tansely, a radionics specialist, says that, “The seven major chakras are formed at points where standing lines of light (or meridians) cross each other 21 times. The 21 minor chakras are located at points where the energy strands cross 14 times.” Based on these theories, we can infer how chakras develop in subtle bodies (composed of magnetic plasma or ‘magma’).

When meridians cross in our subtle bodies, they pinch each other, forming “knots” and collapse as compressed nodes of intense magnetic fields that pulsate at fixed frequencies. Super particles and objects are attracted to the magnetized nodes and are sucked into the subtle bodies at very high speeds using helical paths. This dynamical behavior of the incoming particles and the pulsations of the node excite cone structures on the surface of the body. The plasma of charged particles (known popularly in the metaphysical literature as “qi”, “prana” or “kundalini”), from the ionized environment, spirals into the nodes, swirling the magnetic plasma on the surface of the compact subtle body. It is then absorbed into the chakra and its energy is then transferred to various parts of the subtle body through the network of meridians (or filamentary currents) within the body.

Structure of Chakras

According to scientific researchers, a complicated elastic double vortex structure emanates from the excited region in a plasma crystal. Each region splits into an outgoing and inward-going vortex. The wave-fronts are circular near the source. This resembles how experimental metaphysicists, such as Charles Leadbeater and Brennan, have described and illustrated the spinal chakras – which come in pairs and have circular wave-fronts. A tube or channel connects the outward-facing chakra at the front of the body to the chakra behind the body – which faces in the opposite direction.

According to scientific researchers, the cones in plasma crystals possess an interesting multiple structure of nested cones. Nested cones within chakras in our magnetic plasma bodies have been observed by Brennan. According to Brennan, chakras appear “to be nested within each other like nesting glasses. Each chakra on each higher layer extends out farther in the auric field (to the edge of each auric layer) and is slightly broader than the one below it”. Each vortex metabolizes an energy that resonates with its particular spin frequency.

Alignment of Chakras

It is interesting to note that the cone structures of chakras are positioned at different angles in illustrations in the metaphysical literature. As noted earlier, the angle correlates with the frequency of the radiation source. It is well-known in metaphysics that not only are the spinal chakras positioned at different angles but that each chakra spins at a different frequency. The axis of each cone is aligned with the magnetic field generated by the node so that the apex of the cone of the chakra, which faces the central channels in the subtle body, has a different magnetic polarity from the base of the cone, which faces the environment. If we look at the central channel in the subtle body, the nodes would be distributed along the knots in the central channels at discrete intervals. This agrees well with metaphysical observations (and is consistent with the behavior of magnetic plasma, as noted in studies of plasma crystals). According to Brennan, “Their tips point into the main vertical power current and their open ends extend to the edge of each layer of the field they are located in.”

Absorption and Emission of Energy from Chakras

According to Brennan, each swirling vortex of energy appears to suck or entrain energy from the universal energy field. Chakras connect to the nodes of meridians which are areas of intense magnetic fields. They are therefore able to attract high-energy charged super particles and objects. The particles, after absorption, course through the meridians to distribute energy to various parts of the body – similar to what happens in the heart-lung and circulatory systems in the physical-biomolecular body in terms of distributing oxygen to the cells in the body. When particles in subtle bodies are energized they begin to respond to their environments. Leadbeater explains that one of the functions of chakras is to calibrate (or entrain) the frequencies of particles in order for them to be responsive to particular frequencies of radiations in the environment. Brennan also observes that the direction in which a chakra spins is important. When the chakra is spinning clockwise it is absorbing energy. When spinning anticlockwise – the flow of energy is in the reversed direction. In other words, it is emitting energy rather than absorbing.

Focused Beams of Light from Rotating Galaxies

According to scientific researchers, an ordered magnetic field plays an essential role in jet formation from a rotating accretion disk in an ionized environment. The process of forming jets (or focused beams of light) is thought to depend on how magnetic fields behave when they are swirled around by an accretion disk. Jets occur in cosmic plasma. As far back as 1918, astronomer H D Curtis noticed a jet from the centre of the galaxy M87, describing it as a “curious straight ray” emanating from the galaxy. Taking the form of a huge flashlight beam in space, a jet of electrons and protons traveling at near the speed of light can be seen in NASA’s image of the galaxy. The jet is a highly collimated plasma beam (i.e. like coherent laser light). Energetic astrophysical jets, with velocities approaching the speed of light, are seen on a variety of scales emerging from active galactic nuclei and young stars. It is thought that they result from the dynamics of accretion disks rotating around a large mass. The energy radiates from charged particles that are moving in a curved orbit (typically around a magnetic field aligned with the jet).

Focused Beams of Light from Rotating Chakras

The chakra is a rotating accretion disk on a relatively large compact subtle body. We also know (from the above discussion) that the nodes of chakras are locations of intense magnetic fields and charged particles move in helical or spiral paths around this field. Magnetic fields in plasma move with it. The effect of the movement of the particles, plunging into the subtle body at high speeds, is to effectively swirl the intense magnetic field around the axis of the cone of the chakra. This causes the magnetic field to twist, rise and eject-out as a jet of collimated light. The acceleration mechanism for most jets is magneto-hydrodynamic. (Magneto-hydrodynamics provides a general framework to study the activities of magnetic plasma.) The jet being issued will be parallel to the spin axis of the chakra.

Jets or directed beams of light have been seen in photographs taken during events where subtle energetic practices take place (for example: Reiki, Qigong and Christian “Praise and Worship”). There are also Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist and Christian images showing jets of light issuing-out from the palms of saints or deities. There are important chakras (and acupoints) on the palms of the hands. The frequency and spin rate of the chakra would have a direct effect in determining the energy and coherence of the beam. One of the seers of the Fatima apparitions of “Mary”, “Lucia”, revealed that during one of the apparitions, “Mary” opened her hands and “rays of light” issued from them.

This may be done simply by reversing the normal direction of the chakra spin (so that energy is emitted rather than absorbed) and increasing the rotational speed of the chakra in the palm (by mentally focusing on the specific chakra or acupoint in the palm of the hand). Jets may also be issued from other chakras or acupoints – for example from the heart chakra. For example, when ‘Jesus’ appeared to Saint Faustina, two beams of light issued from his heart - one beam was blue and the other was red. Interestingly, jet formations in cosmic objects such as galaxies also show two beams of light – one blue and the other red!

Black Holes and Chakras

According to scientists, black holes also issue jets. In fact the galaxy M87 (cited above) which issues jets, is suspected to harbor a black hole in its nucleus. (The black hole is then analogous to the node and the galaxy to the cone structure of the chakra.) This is surprising because, so far as we know, the strong gravitational fields of black holes absorb energy – letting nothing to escape. (Small black holes, though, give out Hawking radiation.) If we use the same explanation as we did for chakras, this may be because of the direction of the spin of the accretion disks around black holes. Does this mean that if the direction of the spin of the accretion disk of a rotating (”Kerr”) black hole is reversed it will start ejecting energy instead of absorbing? Black holes with highly energetic jets spin the fastest according to scientists.

If we further apply what we have learnt about the structure of chakras to black holes, we would expect black holes to come in pairs. Each black hole would then be connected by a tube (popularly called a “worm hole”) which connects to another black hole in another part of our universe. This worm hole may be long or very short – so that there is a double vortex structure (like in chakras) connected by a short tube – giving rise to jets that eject in opposite directions from astrophysical objects. Astrophysical jets that emanate from opposite directions of astrophysical objects have been seen. We would also expect black holes to reside within all galaxies as they are simply entry points into the network or web of “meridians” (in this case filamentary currents) that transfer energy from one point to another, throughout the universe.

To carry the analogy with chakras further, this would imply that black holes and galaxies are formations in an invisible subtle body – the subtle body of our universe already discussed in the author’s article Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web. This also suggests that this subtle body is composed of (dark) magnetic plasma. We are living inside the subtle body of this universe – on a planet that is sitting on the edge of one of its chakras – a chakra we call the Milky Way.

Kahuna was the Hawaiian title for a priest, expert, teacher, and/or adviser. Among the legendary magical powers of the kahuna nui was the “Huna death prayer.” Usually, it’s mentioned in passing while saying that the secret was lost. Not true. This is how the Huna death prayer was done:

The Kahunas believed that man had two spirits, the lower or subconscious one being illogical and subject ot the influence of hypnotic suggestion. To become able to use the death prayer, a Kahuna had to inherit from another Kahuna one or more (usually about three) unihipili or subconscious spirits though he could, if sufficiently psychic, locate subconscious spirits himself and use hypnotic suggestion to capture and enslave them. (How he might have done that will be discussed in a future post.)

When a person was to be prayed to deat, the kahuna called to him his enslaved spirits and gave them hypnotic orders to absorb mana (vital force) from food and drink, which were placed on a mat on the ground and surrounded with ceremonial objects such as small white stones and pieces of wood. The Kahuna transferred his own mana into the food, drink, and the ceremonial objects, which were called papa or “forbidden.”

The spirits were then given precise instructions as to what they were to do with thmana. They were to catch the scent from a bit of hair or soiled garment belonging to the intended victim and follow it the way a dog follows a track. Upon reaching the victim, they were to await their chance to enter his or her body, which they were able to do because of the power to use as a paralyzing shock the surcharge of vital force given them by their master.

The order which the spirits were trained to obey was recorded in one case. It was:

“O Lono,
Listen to my voice.
This is the plan:
Rush upon __________ and enter;
Enter and curl up;
Curl up and straighten out.”

The “curl up” and “straighten out” had other meanings than we give the words in English. The process was one of entering the body of the intended victim or attaching themselves to it. That done, the vital force of the victim was absorbed by the intruding spirits and stored in their spirit bodies. As the vital force of the victim was withdrawn from the feet a numbness came to them, which rose gradually over a period of three days to knees, hips, and, finally, to the solar plexus or heart, at which time the victim died.

When the death had been accomplished, the spirits left the body, taking with them their charges of vital force and returned to their master. If the victim had been protected by another Kahuna and the spirits were sent back by him to their owner with hypnotic orders to attack their master, they might make such an attack with fatal results. In order to avoid such a danger, a magic ritual of cleansing was usually performed by the Kahuna sending out the spirits (kala), or, as was more often the case, the person who had hired the Kahuna to send the death prayer to another, and who had vouched for the fact that the intended victim deserved such drastic punishment, would be named as the one responsible, to be attacked should another Kahuna send the spirits back before their task was accomplished.

In the event of a return from a successful mission, the Kahuna ordered his spirit slaves to play until they used up the vital force they had taken in the process of the guilty one. Their play usually took the form of what we would call poltergeist activities. They would move or throw objects, make loud noises and generally create bedlam.

The killing of a person by magic was thought by the Kahunas to depend upon whether or not the victim had a deep sense of guil which was caused by the wrongs done others. Such a guilt complex made the attack of the unihipili or subconscious spirits successful. Without this sense of guilt, the subconscious of the victim would successfully ward off the attacking spirits.

You can see from this that only a person who had done something wrong, or thought he had, could be affected by the Huna death prayer, so there’s little danger that innocent people could be murdered by Kahuna wannabes. However, a perceptive reader might also be thinking that this process could also be done in reverse. Instead of taking mana from the victim and killing him, mana could be given to the patient to heal him. Magic is no more black or white than is electricity. It’s all in how you use it.

Invisible Filaments and Vortexes in Space

In the author’s article Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web it was noted that astronomers have actually detected a “universal web”. Vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been “seen”. Astronomers using NASA’s X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, “viewed” the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. Astronomers say that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These filaments connect rotating galaxies and form circuits with currents flowing through them. Being invisible, they are by definition components of “dark matter and energy”. They can only be detected indirectly by radiation from matter that condenses around them.

Invisible Filaments and Vortexes within Subtle Bodies

Just as the universe generates a web of filamentary currents (or filaments) that plays an important part in the large scale structure of the universe, the subtle body of a human being generates a web of filamentary currents – which has been identified as a web of (acupuncture) “meridians” by the Chinese and “nadis” by the Indians. These currents are more formally identified in plasma metaphysics as “Birkeland currents” i.e. currents that form when charged particles course through magnetic field lines. These meridians are invisible and form circuits with currents flowing through them. Nevertheless, they have been detected indirectly by radiation from matter that was injected into them. The large scale structure of the universe, with a web of filaments punctuated with rotating galaxies, undoubtedly bears a strong resemblance to the web of acupuncture meridians or nadis punctuated with rotating chakras (or vortexes) and acupoints that is found in the etheric components of the physical body.

Earth’s Unexplained Electromagnetic Field

Blake Levitt, in his book, Electromagnetic Fields, notes that the natural background voltage increases with altitude. Between the lowest layers of the ionosphere and the Earth’s surface, there are about 360,000 volts; from the top of the Empire State Building to the sidewalks at its base, there are approximately 40,000 volts; and between the head of a six-foot man and the sidewalk, approximately 200 volts. At the Earth’s surface, the voltage is approximately 100. This sounds alarming, but in fact hardly any shock potential exists because there is (apparently) no current; it appears to be just background voltage and static DC fields. Scientists know very little about this huge reservoir of natural power — how it functions or what governs it. Just like the pattern of voltage gradients over the biomolecular body studied by Robert Becker, Harold Burr and others, the pattern of voltage gradients over our planet is difficult to explain — based on current scientific theories.

Perhaps, just like us, the Earth has a subtle electromagnetic body – often referred to by metaphysicists as the “physical-etheric” body. It can also be identified with Earth’s dark matter halo – as described in the author’s article Earth’s Dark Matter Halo. According to plasma metaphysics, both subtle bodies and Earth’s dark matter halo is composed of a magnetic plasma of super (i.e. supersymmetric) particles.

Earth’s 3d-Double

There are two physical-etheric planes and bodies. The lower (energy) physical-etheric plane is an extension of our home universe – it is not actually a separate universe. The higher (energy) physical-etheric universe is a separate universe – although it has the same spacetime signature as our home universe. As the name implies, it is a physical universe — and has 3 space dimensions and 1 time dimension just like its physical-dense counterpart. However, it has a higher energy level, reversed charge and reversed parity (i.e. it is spatially reversed – being a “right-handed” universe as opposed to our “left-handed” universe). Matter and force particles in our universe are reflected as (more massive) force and matter particles, respectively, in the higher energy 3d-Double universe. In other words, Earth’s 3d-Double is like a mirror-image of the physical-dense Earth that is ordinarily visible to us. The spatial relationship between the two ‘Earths’ can be explained through an analogy: Imagine a figure on the left page of a book and its mirror image on the right page; then fold the two pages so that they come close to each other. Under M Theory, the 3d-Double universe could be classified as a “3-brane” universe which is “less than a millimeter away from our home brane.” In this case, the analogy would be of two flat branes folded over each other and less than a millimeter apart.

The Earth’s 3d-Double probably has a “tear-drop” shape (like the physical-dense Earth’s magnetosphere) due to the solar wind from the physical-etheric Sun. It can be considered a planet (in its own right) in a physical 3-brane, which shares the same gravitational field as the physical-dense Earth. Although co-rotating with the physical-dense Earth, being larger, it possesses a rotational speed which is somewhat slower. Hence, a day in Earth’s 3d-Double would be slightly longer than a day in the physical-dense Earth (assuming it is measured at the same geometrical point on the two near-spheres).

Invisible Filaments and Vortexes on Earth

Shells, electrified sheaths and filamentary currents are signature structures of magnetic plasma. Filamentary currents are present not only in space but in our subtle bodies and also within and enveloping both the lower and higher physical-etheric components of the Earth. These filaments are what have been called “ley lines”, “dragon lines” or simply “energy lines” which are alluded to in Chinese Feng-Shui studies and elsewhere (for example in the practice called “Earth acupuncture”).

The terrestrial Birkeland currents (in the lower physical-etheric plane) that circle the Earth are invisible from its surface, with the exception of auroral discharges. These currents originate far from Earth and they flow into the upper polar atmosphere and out of it along magnetic field lines of the Earth. The currents from space that flow through the polar regions via the auroras continue into the Earth’s magnetic field lines to cover the Earth with weak Birkeland currents. These Birkeland currents are the ley lines of the lower physical etheric plane in the metaphysical literature. There are also ley lines associated with the higher physical-etheric body or Earth’s 3d-Double. As explained in the author’s book Our Invisible Bodies, subtle bodies, including orbs (which evidence the nuclei associated with subtle bodies), travel along Birkeland currents by redistributing charges on their bodies. Ley lines interpenetrate the Earth (like Earth’s magnetic field lines) – they do not necessarily follow the contour of the surface of the Earth.

The structure of filaments and vortexes has been characterized very often as a spider’s web. Native American peoples have referred to the network of currents on Earth as the “Spider Woman’s Web”. Francis Hitching described ley lines as “the radial threads on a spider’s web.” According to Tom Graves, the lines form the “focal points in a vast multilayered cobweb somewhat reminiscent of a micrograph of nerve cells and their ganglia” and are “the circulation and nervous system of the body of Earth.” Some consider Earth as a living being; and like human beings the Earth has meridians (filaments) and chakras (vortexes).

When the ley lines (or filaments) cross they “pinch”, collapsing to form nodes with intense magnetic fields, which give rise to vortexes (or chakras) within our planet as charged super particles (such as qi, prana and kundalini) rush in using helical or spiral paths. Depending on the direction of spin, vortexes can either absorb or emit energy. Vortexes which emit energy are probably the ones that have been identified as “holy” or “sacred” sites by various spiritual traditions. These sites are also sometimes identified as “warps” in the paranormal literature. This is not surprising – just as practically every galaxy has a black hole (which warps spacetime) lurking behind it, every Earth chakra has an intense magnetic node which may have similar effects.

Ley lines, or leys, connect ancient holy sites — just as cosmic filaments connect galaxies in space and meridians connect chakras in our subtle bodies. Ley lines are in fact Birkeland currents. Birkeland currents imply electric circuits that comply with Kirchhoff’s circuit laws. Chinese acupuncture often describes the various meridians in subtle bodies as ‘microcosmic orbits’ or circuits. In the same way that a person can be healed by Chinese acupuncture, sites on Earth can be healed by “Earth acupuncture” – making the site more conducive to receive incoming energy by multiplying and enlarging pathways.

Conclusion

There are networks of Birkeland currents (or webs of filamentary currents) in the subtle bodies of the universe, the Earth and even our own bodies. These various networks are interconnected – like the circulatory system in our biomolecular bodies – with large arteries connecting to smaller arteries and capillaries. And just like the circulatory system the network distributes and transfers energy from one point to another. This forms a complex energy system connecting us to the universe. The currents that give rise to the auroras on Earth originate far from the Earth and connect to the Earth as a whole though the global magnetic field. Individual human energy systems are therefore integral components of the universal energy system.

“The human energy system is like an electric power plant that runs in patterned circuits…This energy system forms a microcosm of the universal energy patterns that run like templates throughout nature and the cosmos, from the galactic and solar systems down to the cellular, molecular, and atomic levels of existence.” - Daniel Reid

Jay Alfred is the author of three books on a new field called “plasma metaphysics”. The books include Our Invisible Bodies, Brains and Realities and Between the Moon and Earth. Plasma metaphysics is the application of plasma and dark matter physics to the study of our high energy subtle bodies and their corresponding environments. These bodies include the “bioplasma” bodies and “astral” bodies found in the metaphysical literature. Plasma metaphysics provides an internally consistent framework for the study of these bodies against the backdrop of modern physics. The books are available at Amazon online bookstores.

Plasma is often described as the fourth state of matter, after solid, liquid, and gas. It is also sometimes described as an ionized gas i.e. a gas in which the energy level is so high that the electrons escape from the atoms. This results in soups of charged particles which are overall quasi-neutral.

Spontaneous Combustions in Space Plasma

Plasma tends to separate into different regions according to temperature, density and other physical properties. When this happens a “double-layer” or plasma sheath develops around these regions and a “plasma cell” is formed. A double layer is a structure in plasma that consists of two parallel electrostatic layers with opposite electrical charge. The two thin sheets of charge cause a strong electric field and a correspondingly abrupt change in voltage (or electrical potential) across the double layer. The charge distribution in a double layer is therefore very similar to the charge distribution in a capacitor. To that extent, a double layer acts like a capacitor.

Plasma cells moving relative to one another induce electric currents in each other, generating filamentary currents and forming electrical circuits. Prodigious amounts of electrical energy developed in one plasma cell may be carried over many billions of light years through these filamentary currents to burst suddenly (as an electrical discharge) from a very small and localized region. Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén had proposed that, “…X-ray and gamma-ray bursts [in space] may be due to exploding double layers.” Furthermore, since the double layer gets energy from the entire circuit, the explosion can be far more energetic than expected from the energy that is locally present.

An electrical discharge in space is a sudden release of stored electrical or magnetic energy when the electromagnetic stress exceeds some threshold. In space plasma, cells containing different types of plasma develop double layers that play the role of energy-storing capacitors which can discharge their stored energy suddenly. These discharges are localized and are usually accompanied by violent processes such as rapid heating, ionization and the generation of prodigious amounts of electromagnetic radiation.

Capacitors

In electrical circuits, energy is stored in capacitors. The capacitor is important for its ability to quickly store and release electrical energy. Some of the highest energy experiments in the world are performed using large banks of charged capacitors to produce intense discharges.

A capacitor is made of two conductors separated by an insulator. When charge is placed on one conductor it attracts charge of the opposite polarity on the other conductor. As a result, an electric field is set up between the conductors and a reservoir of electrical energy forms. As the charge on the capacitor increases, the electric field between the conductors increases, placing a growing stress on the insulator. At some critical point, the insulator breaks down and the capacitor “short circuits,” releasing the stored electrical energy. Such breakdowns may destroy the capacitor. However, if the charging rate is slow the damage may repair itself as fresh insulating material (for example, air) rushes in. If the current is strong or the insulator weak, current will pass between the conducting plates, either steadily or in bursts.

Many natural systems on Earth form capacitors as well. For example, the Earth’s surface and its ionosphere are two conducting layers which are separated by air – hence this system acts as a capacitor. A bolt of lightning is an electrical discharge within this system.

Capacitors in the Subtle Body

According to plasma metaphysics, the same phenomenon that occurs in space and on Earth can occur within our subtle bodies. It holds the view that our subtle bodies are composed of magnetic plasma or “magma” which generates filamentary currents that are also found in space plasma (see this author’s article on Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web) and the low density magnetic plasma spheres that interpenetrate Earth (see this author’s article on Acupuncture Meridians and the Terrestrial Spider Web) .

Plasma metaphysics observes that the center of the magma or bioplasma body (coinciding somewhat with the lower abdomen of the biomolecular body) contains a pool of the highest density charged magnetic plasma of heavy particles (originating from the fiery core of the subtle counterpart body of the Earth). (This is normally identified as “kundalini” or “Earth qi” in the metaphysical literature.) It is separated from a pool of lower density magnetic plasma of lighter particles of an opposite polarity near the head (this plasma can be identified loosely with “prana” and “Heaven qi” which mainly originates from the subtle counterpart body of the Sun). As noted above, plasma with different characteristics self-organize into “cells” with double-layers around themselves. Hence, a double layer develops within the torso of the bioplasma body separating the two types of plasma. This double layer operates as a capacitor.

Various types of instabilities have been seen to occur in double layers in laboratory plasmas. Unstable double layers generate oscillations across a wide frequency spectrum and are therefore often described as “noisy”. A lack of plasma stability may lead to a dramatic change in configuration and is often referred to in the literature as an “explosion” (and hence “exploding double layer”). These types of explosions were first observed in mercury arc rectifiers, used in high-power direct-current transmission lines, where the voltage drop across the device was seen to increase by several orders of magnitude. Just as exploding double layers in space cause a burst of energy, drawing energy from the connecting circuits, it is not inconceivable that the double layers in our magma or bioplasma bodies would do the same, drawing energy from the circuits identified as “meridians” in Chinese acupuncture.

In Chinese Qigong studies, qi is said to accumulate in specific areas – identified as “qi vessels” (also sometimes called “qi reservoirs”). There are eight of these qi vessels; four of the most important vessels lie within the torso – including two at the lower abdominal region. These vessels act like the capacitors in electrical circuits which store electrical charge, according to Dr Yang Jwing-Ming – an authority on Qigong. From the perspective of plasma metaphysics, these vessels are plasma cells containing different types of plasma with double layers around them which act like capacitors.

A capacitor can supply a large burst of power during a brief period. For example, in cameras, a capacitor is discharged quickly through a flash bulb, lighting the bulb brightly for an instant. In “capacitor discharge welding”, a bank of capacitors is charged and then the discharged current is applied across the joint between the work pieces. A high temperature phenomenon, accompanied by blinding light, seals the joints. This type of welding method has also been used to shrink objects.

How does it Happen?

Ordinarily, a coherent magnetic plasma (or “magma”) body is protected by a transparent or translucent (double-layered) membrane around the ovoid which protects the body because it provides a resistance to the currents in the magnetic plasma spheres that interpenetrate Earth. (These currents are often described as “ley lines” or “dragon lines” in the metaphysical literature. In plasma metaphysics they are identified more formally as “Birkeland currents” i.e. currents that arise from charged particles coursing through magnetic field lines. The first complete map of “Birkeland currents” in the Earth’s polar region was developed in 1974 from satellite-borne magnetic field observations.)

However, a magma body can become fragmented due to an undisciplined wandering mind. This happens when plasma with different physical properties and pulsating at different frequencies within the body separate into different regions forming plasma cells. Forces are generated from the separations which cause a pressure to develop on the membrane. This results in stresses and strains which can rupture the protective insulating membrane and reduce its resistance to the external currents. This allows strong currents in the environment to “leak” into the magma body in an uncontrolled manner. The charge from the currents accumulates within the capacitors in the lower physical-etheric body. As the charge builds-up, the electric field between the conductors increases. When the threshold is reached an electrical discharge, lasting only a split-second, occurs in the magma body. If this magma body is the lower physical-etheric body it can impact the physical-biomolecular body, causing it to suddenly combust. (The dominant left brain’s discriminatory and analytical thought processes in human beings, associated with the acquisition of language, are primarily implicated in the fragmentation of the plasma body. Other animals, on the other hand, have not developed the neural processes associated with left brain activity to any significant extent comparable to humans.)

In spontaneous human combustions the burns are not distributed evenly over the body - the extremities are usually untouched by fire but the torso suffers severe burning. In many cases, the torso is completely destroyed, the bones being completely reduced to ash. This is not surprising as the most important capacitors in the lower physical-etheric body can be identified in the torso. An uncontrolled huge electrical discharge from any of these capacitors can cause a spontaneous combustion of a significant portion of the physical-biomolecular body – radiating out from the torso.

The energies of our subtle (high energy) magma bodies far exceed anything the biomolecular body can withstand. In spontaneous human combustions the rate of total body burning is much faster than in the hottest crematoriums. Almost no fire damage is done to other objects in the vicinity of the body. Often the victims’ clothes are untouched by the fire. Hence, it is highly localized – just like in situations involving electrical discharges in space plasma or a bolt of lightning. The evidence also points to a situation where the fire starts from “within”. The lower physical-etheric body is an extension of the physical-biomolecular body and is capable of generating a highly energetic burst of energy at high frequencies resulting in a highly localized ‘subtle fire’ that appears to erupt from within the physical-biomolecular body.

Electrical Discharges during Meditation and Prayer

“‘Real Yoga’ is as dangerous to an impure and undisciplined body as a match to a cask of gunpowder.” – Annie Besant

In the meditative state of one-pointedness (also known as “hot” meditation or “active” meditation under the Newberg-Aquili model) or in qigong exercises, a person opens himself or herself up to absorb energy from the environment. Ruptures in the membrane of the magma body of an undisciplined person reduce the resistance of the magma body to external currents. If unsupervised by a teacher, a prodigious amount of current may leak into the magma body of the undisciplined and unsuspecting meditator. This energy will accumulate in an uncontrolled manner in the torso. When the electromagnetic stress exceeds a certain threshold, the current is discharged in a brief moment and a spontaneous human combustion occurs in extreme cases. In order to reduce the risk of this happening, meditators should go on to more energetic exercises in a gradual manner under the supervision of a more experienced person.

“Your body must be able to withstand the high voltage of this energy. Some of the delicate sinews of your body may be damaged if the voltage is too high for you to bear.” – Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)

Uncontrolled surges of electromagnetic energy during meditation or prayer can damage the cells of the physical-biomolecular body. If it is close to any vital organ such as the heart, it can cause death. If it is near the brain, it can cause a breakdown of neural processes which may result in insanity. It can lead to spontaneous combustion of certain parts of the body. It is important in these cases to interrupt or absorb any flows of charged particles (or currents) from the body.

According to Osho, a modern mystic, the use of wooden platforms for meditation had no other purposes than the fact that they were poor conductors of electricity. Deer and leopard skins were also frequently used for the same purpose: so that electromagnetic energy that is released during meditation does not damage the internal organs of the physical-biomolecular body. “A man can be killed by this electric shock,” said Osho. “Therefore, the sadhak [or Yoga practitioner] puts on wooden sandals and slept on a wooden platform.”

Can it Happen to You?

EEG studies show that the hypnotic state is not a form of sleep. In fact, it is a form of focused altertness, with increased attention in one area and reduced attention in other areas – much like the meditative state of one-pointedness.

You may not feel like you are in a trance or in hypnosis. For most people they simply feel relaxed. Scientists say that people who lose themselves in a movie, a book, or a day-dream are probably experiencing a mild form of self-hypnosis. In fact, all of us pass through brief periods of hypnosis every day just prior to falling asleep and once again immediately before waking-up completely. Hence, the same risk of a spontaneous human combustion or damage due to uncontrolled electromagnetic discharges from the lower physical-etheric body will exist when you are absorbed in a day-dream or TV program; or when you are just waking-up or going to sleep – as when you are meditating.

For most people, however, this risk would be low as generally our subtle bodies, composed of dark matter, only weakly interact with our biomolecular bodies, composed of ordinary matter. For unsupervised regular meditators who deliberately interact with their lower physical-etheric body in a persistent and forceful way (and whose subtle bodies are generally fragmented and pulsating at different rates), this risk may be higher.

The Borderline - “Gray” Matter

Based on our current understanding of interactions between dark and ordinary matter, electromagnetic interactions are generally ruled-out. Nevertheless, there is no reason not to posit a class of objects which are on the borderline between dark and ordinary matter, such as the cosmic filaments discussed in the author’s article Acupuncture Meridians and the Cosmic Spider Web. These gray matter objects, at the threshold between dark and ordinary matter, are generally invisible. However, ordinary matter which condenses around them gives out detectable radiation. Alternatively, gray matter objects may experience temporary falls in energy levels which enable them to emit lower frequencies associated with ordinary matter. Or a combination of both may occur. (Hence, gray matter objects can cross the borderline between ordinary and dark matter intermittently or under special conditions.)

Objects in the lower physical-etheric plane are such gray matter objects. According to the metaphysical literature, the lower physical-etheric plane is an extension of the physical-dense plane. Hatha Yoga, general Qigong practices and Chinese acupuncture are associated primarily with the lower physical-etheric body. Electrical discharges from the lower physical-etheric body can therefore impact the physical-biomolecular body electromagnetically, intermittently or under special conditions.

Jay Alfred is the author of three books on a new field called “plasma metaphysics”. The books include Our Invisible Bodies, Brains and Realities and Between the Moon and Earth. Plasma metaphysics is the application of plasma and dark matter physics to the study of our high energy subtle bodies and their corresponding environments. These bodies include the “bioplasma” bodies and “astral” bodies found in the metaphysical literature. Plasma metaphysics provides an internally consistent framework for the study of these bodies against the backdrop of modern physics. The books are available at Amazon online bookstores.

In 1999 computer simulations of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters by Klaus Dolag revealed that galaxy clusters are embedded in a large-scale spider-web-like structure of filaments. Extensive galaxy surveys also show that structures resembling sheets and filaments characterize the distribution of galaxies. Consistent with the simulations, this distribution resembles a complicated spider’s web several hundred mega parsecs in diameter. According to Nobel laureate, Hans Alfvén, space is filled with a network of currents which transfer energy and momentum over large distances. Hot plasma streams along such filamentary currents.

Now, astronomers have actually detected a “universal web”. Vast filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been “seen”. Astronomers using NASA’s X-ray satellite observatory, Chandra, “viewed” the filaments stretching for millions of light years through space, with one passing through our own galaxy. They calculate that the filaments contain five times more mass than all the stars in the universe!

Invisible Filaments in Space

Astronomers say that the filamentary structures are so hot that it would generally be invisible to optical, infrared, and radio telescopes. These invisible filaments are detected only because higher density ordinary matter tends to accumulate and condense in them - generating radiation which can be measured by scientists to confirm their existence in intergalactic space.

Being invisible, they are by definition components of “dark matter and energy”. Dark matter and energy are invisible matter and energy that make up more than 99% of our universe – according to scientists. Studies show that both ordinary and invisible dark matter work in concert to build filaments in space, with dense junctions where galaxies cluster. The resulting structure looks something like a spider web, dappled with water droplets.

The filaments betray the presence of invisible dark matter because gas at millions of degrees centigrade found within these filaments has a natural tendency to spread. To find it confined into filaments means that a very strong gravitational field must be pulling it into place and only dark matter can do this – according to the scientists.

Invisible Filaments in the Subtle Body

In 1904 metaphysicist Annie Besant reported that “During human antenatal life a single thread weaves a network, a shimmering web of inconceivable fineness and delicate beauty, with minute meshes. Within the meshes of this web the coarser particles of the bodies are built together. During physical life, prana [which is a plasma of charged super particles according to plasma metaphysics] courses along the branches and meshes.” This web interpenetrating the human fetus certainly has features which resemble the cosmic spider web – with currents of charged prana (or qi particles) coursing through its ‘threads’ and denser material accumulating (i.e. “coarser particles”) on it.

It is a well accepted fact in metaphysics that there are filaments within our subtle magma bodies, which have been referred to as “meridians”, “nadis” and “channels” – in the Chinese, Indian and Tibetan literature, respectively. In Taoist and Qigong literature, they are also referred to as “circuits” and “orbits”. For example, Qigong practitioners may speak of microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits. The microcosmic orbit is really the main meridian through which particles are accelerated in the relevant practices to bring energy to the rest of the subtle body.

According to plasma metaphysics, these meridians are magnetic lines of force within the subtle magnetic plasma (or magma) bodies. The currents flowing through them are “Birkeland currents”, i.e. currents in which charged particles flow through magnetic field lines. The large scale structure of the universe, with a web of filaments punctuated with rotating galaxies, undoubtedly bears a strong resemblance to the web of acupuncture meridians or nadis punctuated with rotating chakras (or vortexes) and acupoints that is found in the etheric component of the physical body.

“I envisioned hundreds of little DC [direct current] generators like dark stars sending their electricity along the meridians, an interior galaxy that the Chinese had somehow found and explored by trial and error over two thousand years ago. It was obvious that the acupuncture charts had an objective basis in reality. Our readings indicated that these meridians were conducting current.” - Robert Becker, The Body Electric

The meridian system, chartered by Chinese acupuncture, can be considered the arterial system of what metaphysicists would describe as the “lower physical-etheric body” (which is not separable from the physical-biomolecular body). These meridian pathways are ordinarily invisible to the biological eyes – just like the invisible cosmic filaments. Just like cosmic filaments, these invisible meridians can be detected when they generate radiation.

French researcher Pierre de Vernejoul injected a radioactive substance into the acupoints of patients and measured the radiation using a special camera. He found that the substance migrated along classical Chinese acupuncture meridian pathways. Other injections made by Vernejoul into random points of the body and into veins and lymphatic channels were unable to demonstrate similar results, suggesting that the meridian system is a unique and separate network of pathways in the body. Further experiments showed that terminating a meridian that related to the liver resulted in a rapid degeneration of liver tissue. Without energy supply from the lower physical-etheric body via the meridians; tissues, organs and cells of the physical-biomolecular body do not appear to function properly.

The Universal and Human Physical-Etheric Bodies

The invisible cosmic web of filaments together with the dark matter that shapes them is in fact embedded in the lowest energy physical-etheric body of our universe. When we look out from Earth what we are seeing is the physical-dense universe, shaped by the lower physical-etheric body of the universe. Astronomers say that the invisible filaments in space are detected only because higher density matter tends to accumulate and condense in these filaments. Similarly, the invisible meridians in the subtle body can only be detected because of radiation from other substances that are channeled through them.

Plasma naturally forms filaments in response to electric and magnetic fields within the subtle body (which according to plasma metaphysics is composed of dark matter). Charged particles are guided within these filaments by the magnetic fields and accelerated by the electric fields – generating currents – as observed by Robert Becker.

Just as the lower physical-etheric body of the universe generates a web of filamentary currents (or filaments) that plays an important part in the large scale structure of the universe, the lower physical-etheric body of the human body generates a web of filamentary currents (or meridians) that is instrumental in developing the physical-biomolecular body of a human being. Of course, the Chinese already knew this – they have been exploring these filaments for more than three thousand years!

A few years ago, I received a video from my good friend and experienced paranormal investigator, Dick Criswell. It was filmed in Oakland, Oregon, and involved an amazing guy named Stan Johnson and his unique understanding of Bigfoot. Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Yeti, Abominable Snowman or Skunk Ape; call it what you will. Most people think of the legendary creature as some sort of missing link or unidentified primate. Stan has a different view and it has caused me to reexamine my own conclusions about these beings.

I have watched Dick’s video, On Bigfoot Mountain, dozens of times and that surprises me. When it comes to Paranormal Research, I like to keep my focus on the subject at hand and not the ‘noise’ surrounding it. Theories, ideas, channeled data, cults and everything else you can imagine really blurs the big picture and removes objectivity. However, Stan’s information gave me some new ideas about the behavior of Bigfoot.

Johnson describes the Sasquatch as a race of intelligent beings that easily communicate with him and travel using portals. He mentions at least three portals that exist on the mountain where he lives. The portals seem to be entrances and exits to and from our physical reality. Not surprisingly, Bigfoot is often seen in these areas by a diverse group of witnesses.

Apart from the physical sightings, Johnson seems able to communicate with these beings on a mental or spiritual level. During those times, the Sasquatch need not be physically present. This makes me wonder who or what they really are. It may be that the Native Peoples of North America have a better understanding of Bigfoot than the rest of us. They have great respect for these beings and feel they represent a border or bridge between human and animal consciousness.

The Sasquatch that speaks to Johnson and others seem to have an understanding of our physical reality that we have not yet grasped. For example, their use of portals and manipulation of time and space really fascinated me. Not only would it explain their ability to suddenly appear and disappear, but it might also explain why other paranormal events occur in the same areas and at the same times as many Bigfoot sightings. My first investigation of a Bigfoot event was a good example of that scenario.

I became acquainted with the Florida version of Bigfoot in 1973 at the age of seventeen. People in the Sunshine State generally refer to it as a Skunk Ape or Yeti. Either way, descriptions are identical to what some Bigfoot researchers call unknown primate sightings and encounters worldwide. Nevertheless, the event I was investigating didn’t occur in the middle of some thick forest or on a road rarely traveled in the Everglades. This was the Jungle Prada area of Saint Petersburg surrounded by water and suburban neighborhoods.

It was early October and I was investigating ghost light sightings reported to my high school UFO club. The lights appeared in the area of Jungle Prada Park at Park Street N and Elbow Lane. They were centered over a section of Boca Ciega Bay that separates Saint Petersburg from Treasure Island. Most people think of it as a channel because all the boat traffic and marine markers.

I arrived at the Jungle Prada just before dark with two friends which agreed to assist me in the investigation. We parked close to the shoreline hoping to speak with regulars that fished that area and might have noticed the lights. As we were getting our equipment out of the car, I noticed three helicopters in the area. They were not military and didn’t look like police or emergency medical transport choppers.

Before we could give the helicopters another thought, dozens of cars appeared out of nowhere. Most of the drivers were young people. I thought that maybe we had accidentally ended up in the middle of some kind of keg party or fraternity event. Seeing that we had some photography equipment, a tape recorder and note taking materials, one guy asked us, “Are you here looking for the Skunk Ape?”

We had no idea what he was talking about until we heard a couple of car radios that were blaring a local music station. Between songs, the DJ mentioned some listeners that called in to his studio earlier about seeing some sort of a large, hairy creature swimming in the bay near Jungle Prada. I asked my fellow investigators to snoop around while I located a payphone and called the radio station. I drove some distance to a gas station and made the call.

The DJ told me that listeners had been calling him for the past two hours. Most were frustrated when their calls to police or emergency numbers were largely ignored. The first few callers were people that were fishing along a pier when they saw the creature. Others were out in their boats at the time the creature was spotted. The best call came from a charter boat captain that regularly piloted his vessel through the area. The captain, crew and passengers all saw the creature. The captain contacted the Coast Guard.

Most of the witnesses that called were listening to the music station when the DJ asked people to call in with song requests and gave out the studio phone number. Instead, they called about the Skunk Ape. The DJ told me that he might have considered it all a prank, but this was a guy that listened to people call in for all sorts of reasons night after night. He had developed a knack for knowing when people were trying to pull a fast one on him.

Needless to say, I spent most of my time there trying to track down any witnesses to the event that might still be in the area. Thanks to some information from the DJ, I was able to narrow my search to the pier area and found two people that had called the station. After calling from a convenience store, they returned to the area to see if the creature had come back.

The Richardson’s were a young couple that came out to enjoy the sunset by the water’s edge. Along with some other people fishing and hanging out nearby, they said that a large creature suddenly appeared in the water. It was swimming toward the shoreline just north of where they were standing. The creature swam much like a human, but it was very large and hairy. Still in amazement over the event, the witnesses said that it came up on the shore and ran into the tree line like a person would. Not thinking, everyone ran up to that area and trampled over any footprints that might have been left behind.

The couple took me to that area along the shore and we searched through it with large flashlights, but too many people had already been there. There was no way to discern specific footprints in the sand or know if the creature or crowd had caused damage to small trees and other growths. A more thorough search the next day turned up nothing unusual.

Most people might consider it more than a bit strange that Bigfoot would share the spotlight with Ghost Lights in same area at the same time. However, Jungle Prada is the original paranormal exception to the rule. It is one of the oldest, most historic, haunted, troubled and mysterious parts of St Petersburg, Florida, or anywhere else for that matter.

The Tocobaga Indians built burial mounds and villages in the area as early as 900 AD and thrived right up until the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors in 1528. They allegedly enslaved, killed and infected the Tocobaga with disease. Within one hundred years, the natives were extinct. However, remnants of their mounds remain and so do their ghosts.

It’s not uncommon for visitors to the historic mounds to report a sickening feeling in their stomach. While most Floridians chalk that up to people from cold states spending too much time outdoors in the Florida heat and humidity, others have a stranger explanation. Some psychics and spiritualists insist that the illness comes from the Tocobaga ghosts or their residual psychic energy. It’s a reminder of the stomach pains they felt while suffering from diseases and illnesses brought to their shores by the Conquistadors.

The Spanish were not the only ones who came to the Jungle Prada searching for wealth. In 1924 a man named Walter Fuller built a shopping center at what is now 1700 Park Street North. The complex was designed to serve guests who stayed at his nearby Country Club Hotel. That grand old building still exists and has been home to the Admiral Farragut Academy for many years. Parts of the shopping area have also survived to this day including a night club that was partially or fully owned by Al Capone.

Capone’s Gangplank Club existed in Fuller’s Shopping Center and featured some of the top names in entertainment including Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Anything but dry, the place had a regular supply of bootleg booze brought in through a secret tunnel that ran from the shoreline to the club courtesy of Capone.

Always one to keep a sharp eye on his investments, Capone built a house nearby at Venetian Blvd. N.E. and Bayou Grande N.E. on the shore of Grand Bayou. Trusted associates stayed there and watched over the night club to be sure the Boss got his cut of the profits. That house has a million weird stories associated with it. Possibly the weirdest involves some of Capone’s regular house guests falling into bad company that might have actually been worse than their own.

Unsubstantiated stories tell a tale of people that secretly arranged and took part in occult ceremonies near the remnants of huge homes that once graced the shoreline in that area. Some of the fences that surrounded these mansions and a few ruins could still be seen in the early 1970s. Huge trees covered with Spanish Moss hid these residences from public view even in their heyday.

There is no way to know if any of these dark deeds took place at Capone’s house or actually occurred at all. If they did, it’s unlikely that Capone had any involvement since he was rarely there and showed no interest in such things. However, the Boss’s home was a different story.

After years of building fences around it, installing lights to illuminate it at night and responding to endless calls of break-ins, odd noises, ghosts sightings and people suddenly acting in an irrational manner when near it, local authorities gave up. They ordered the house condemned and tore it down. The current house on that location has no association with the Capone residence.

Whether it was the stock market crash, end of prohibition or a curse sometimes associated with that area, Capone’s Gangplank Club and most of the retail establishments in that area eventually closed down. The Jungle Prada was just too far off the beaten path to be profitable for anyone and it‘s been that way ever since. The closing of an airport used by Capone and Country Club Hotel guests also added to the Prada’s economic demise. The Tyrone Square Mall is now on that location, but too far away to be of any economic benefit to the Prada.

Some say that the place is just unlucky, others blame the bad luck on a curse that allegedly exists on the land due to the mistreatment and murder of the Tocobaga Native People. Except for a housing boom in the 1950s and 1960s which ate up a large portion of land that was largely unused, the place hasn‘t had much in the way of good fortune or a legacy to brag about.

Even residents of nearby communities that were a part of the building boom haven’t completed escaped the curse. Despite skyrocketing real estate prices, neighborhood associations are constantly at odds with town officials that seem bent on relocating facilities and services elsewhere to benefit other communities.

Jungle Prada can’t seem to escape its unseemly reputation. Parks in the area offer popular activities to residents and feature spectacular natural beauty, but home owners have to share these town properties with others that come for very different reasons. Reasons that are a constant thorn in the side of people living near the Prada.

Ghost Tours are regularly lead through the Prada by entrepreneurial profiteers. Historic Markers constantly remind visitors of the extinct Tocobaga People. Tourists visit by the thousands each year to see the ancient burial mounds. Others want a look at Capone’s Club where Babe Ruth was married. Mediums, Spiritualists and Ghost Hunters drop by to contact the dead. UFO Researchers search for Ghost Lights or unidentified underwater objects that are said to speed through the Bay in this alleged western section of the Bermuda Triangle. And don’t forget about Bigfoot.

Thinking back to Stan Johnson’s revelation about the intelligence of the Sasquatch and the portals through which they travel makes me wonder. Is it possible that there are inter-dimensional portals in the Jungle Prada? If there are, it may be that the Bigfoot creatures are not the only ones able to use them. That might explain all the paranormal activity and why a Bigfoot creature might occasionally be seen in that area.

Listening to Stan, I get the impression that the Sasquatch are concerned about our well-being and exist on a very high spiritual level. It may be that they help keep dark forces at bay or Aliens bent on invasion from coming through the portals. I guess you could almost describe them as some sort of inter-dimensional Peace Keepers. However, the degree of their success may also depend on our own efforts and it’s obvious that we do not always act in our own best interest.

While interviewing some of the survivors of the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project, I was told that a large hairy creature once appeared out of nowhere during one of the inter-dimensional time travel experiments at the Montauk Base. Looking exactly like a Bigfoot, it seemed bent on destroying the equipment and closing down the project. This makes me wonder if those in charge were accessing one of the portals reported to exist on or near the Base.

The Montauk Project was a government program designed to develop and take control of time and inter-dimensional travel, develop technologies to respond to the perceived Alien threat and perfect mind control and psychic weapons. Those goals would be at odds with the mission of the Sasquatch. That mission may be to keep all things equal, prevent conflicts between beings sharing the universe and bring humans closer to a higher spiritual existence. As a result, the Sasquatch might have tried to shut down the experiments at Montauk to save us from ourselves. Unfortunately, they failed.

Taking things a step further, I wonder why the physical aspects and overall behavior of the Sasquatch do not seem to match the intellect that Stan claims they possess. Is it possible that the hairy creatures we see are merely physical vessels housing some sort of spiritual or ascended beings? As wild as that sounds, it makes sense.

If you were visiting another world or dimension and faced a potential threat from the inhabitants or other beings visiting at the same time, you might take the form of something large and strong if you had the ability to do so. I believe that the Bigfoot creatures are unknown animals kept from extinction by inter-dimensional beings using them for protection. It’s also possible that the inter-dimensional beings could have brought these creatures from another time, place or plain of existence. That might help explain why we can’t seem to locate any small or large groups of the creatures, despite all the evidence for their existence.

If what Stan and others say is true and my own theory is correct, it would explain the duality of abilities and skills that these beings possess. At times they seem to hunt, feed and communicate in the most primitive way. On other occasions they demonstrate excellent communication skills and exhibit evidence of a society with an advanced social structure and communal sense of spiritual well-being. All this provides evidence that advanced beings are using Sasquatch as a walk-in whenever the need arises.

After all my theorizing, we still have to drop back to one, all-important question: Does Bigfoot exist at all? And despite all the skeptical Nay Sayers out there that think not, there is a substantial amount of evidence for the physical existence of Bigfoot. The evidence includes reliable eyewitness testimony, a continuing series of sightings over a long period of time, repeat sightings in various places, physical evidence, photographs, film, video and sound recordings.

Manitoba, Canada, is one of the areas where Bigfoot has made regular appearances since the 1800s. In 2005, a ferry boat operator named Bobby Clarke filmed a creature that might have been ten feet tall a few hundred miles north of Winnipeg. Clark, a First Nation Canadian, ferries people and cargo across the Nelson River. On the morning of April 16, 2005, he arrived at the docks around 6:30 in the morning. At first light he saw “a big black figure” on the opposite shore of the river, grabbed his camcorder and started filming.

His sister confirmed that Clarke rarely goes anywhere without his small camcorder. Maybe that’s because another Ferry Operator named Hubert Folster saw the same thing almost a year before Clarke. Folster didn’t have a camera with him, but watched for six minutes as very tall and dark figure moved along the waterfront on the opposite shoreline. Folster says of his experience, “It just wasn’t right.” He doesn’t know exactly what he saw, dislikes discussing the event and obviously has no desire to repeat the experience. The sighting left Folster feeling very uneasy and didn’t do much for Clarke’s peace of mind either.

After watching and filming the creature for almost three minutes, Clarke dropped his camera when the dark figure turned and faced him. He draws a bit of a blank at that point and says that the entire episode left him upset. Clarke‘s sister says he was unable to work for several days afterward and that things do not usually affect him in that way. Clark has seen large bears and all sorts of wildlife, but nothing like this and nothing that has ever upset him this much.

Another video of Bigfoot was filmed in Canada this year (2007) by a man who calls himself Doug Thomas from Peguis, Manitoba. He describes the event:

“This footage was captured in Peguis, Manitoba, Canada. My son and I were going out to cut some wood as we came over the ridge we could see something crossing the road by time my boy got the camera out it this is what we captured.

I guess I should make this clear first I’m not claiming that its “Bigfoot or Sasquatch, I just don’t know? There really isn’t much more that I can say about the footage, my boy and I were heading out to the gravel pits to cut some firewood. On the way over a ridge we could see something crossing the road on the next ridge probably about 400 yards away.

I slowed down and told my boy to grab my camcorder from the back seat. By the time he had it going what ever we saw had already walked across the road behind a mound of rocks.

What you see in the video is clearer then what I actually saw because we were so far away. The “creature” qu
