Dear Vortex Fans,

Since I last wrote, I traveled from Oregon (about an hour North of Mt. Shasta, California) to New Mexico (south of Albuquerque).

“Glitches in the Matrix”

You won't be surprised to hear that my trip to New Mexico was fraught with strange phenomena, perhaps, but the story is strange enough that even I am having trouble processing it, and re-telling it effectively. It's not the first time that I've had paranormal occurrences in the run-up to visiting this location; it's the second time, and the two, related experiences are impossibly hard to explain in any rational way individually, much less together. It's one thing when something mysteriously disappears, it's natural to blame yourself, “well, maybe I misplaced it.” Most of the time. But sometimes, that explanation fails spectacularly. Twice. When “it” “disappeared” the first time, we had both looked for it multiple times in a certain spot, and it definitely wasn't there. It “re-appeared” there. Stayed tuned for more about Glitches in the Matrix.

Was it an energy, a spirit, or...?

Along those lines, I photographed something unusual or, perhaps I should say, I took an unusual photo, as I explain in “Was it an energy, a spirit, or "just" a camera malfunction?” https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/36183454/1340203487278007918

Psychic Self Defense

Too long, didn't read? [TLDR] My mentor Roger Armstrong teaches psychic self-defense in our videos: https://www.youtube.com/psychicchild

Along the way, I fortunately met some great folks: Robert and Bonnie Frutos. And I visited my sister Sue Hirsch, whose creations may interest you or someone you know and love.

Shortly before I was to drive home from New Mexico, along geologically spectacular Highway 40, I got an order from Holbrook, Arizona, right on the Highway. I responded, can I visit you on my drive home? And Robert said yes. I knew that he was a photographer, but that's all I knew, it turned out to be a delightful connection to Robert and his wife, Bonnie, both authors. And psychic.

A Spiritual Approach to New Mexico Rock Art

Robert visits sacred sites, photographs them, and then brings us along on the ride – often step-by-step – in his guidebooks. Specializing in Hawaii, and the Southwestern United States, especially petroglyphs and pictographs. Robert engages with these sites and their artifacts with a fine-tuned psychic sense. His books provide a plain-talking approach to a deep appreciation for nature and magic.

EarthStar North America Map & Rock Art “Discoveries”

Robert has identified two new rock art sites that depict the EarthStar North America.

Including Chumash Painted Cave, Santa Barbara:

Befriending the Trees

As the evening wore on, I turned to Bonnie and said, “What about your books? You must have some books. Indeed. Bonnie, with Robert, wrote some books for their grandchild. Anyone who has read a lot of books to their kid(s) knows that it's rare for a kid's book to hit just the right note when there's a message; but Bonnie has succeeded beautifully with Nova Fire Blaze and the Wondrous Tree. In my workshops I sometimes ask, “Who here feels that they have a special relationship to trees?” and usually half the class or more raises their hands. Our energetic and psychic relationship with trees can be profound, almost everybody can learn to sense the energy of trees, it's something I teach in workshops. Nova Fire Blaze is a story of connecting to trees.

For adults who want to go deeper into connecting with trees, Taoist Master Mantak Chia offers a Taoist method:

Becoming Cleo at the Renaissance Faire (book review)

by Sue Hirsch (my sister!)

I wouldn't ordinarily include “non-vortex” information, but since we on the subject of children's books that have a great message, sure I'm biased, but I think you'll love Becoming Cleo. It's a little more of a chapter book than a picture book. Cleo's first visit to a Ren Faire, the love really shines through.

Twelve Ways to Turbo-boost your Immune System (other than vitamins!)

by Dan Shaw

Reminding ourselves of a few of the important constituents of living a vital life.

Thank you for reading!

Was it an energy, a spirit, or "just" a camera malfunction?

I took a photo of something inexplicable, was it an energy, a spirit, or "just" a camera malfunction? I've been clearing out a vacant house. I took "before" photos before I began. 

Now I'm taking "after" photos once I have cleared out a room. When I had cleared out the bathroom, from the door, I took a photo of the toilet. Then, to get a photo of the shower and the door, I stood in the corner by the toilet and snapped a photo.

Looking at the photo I could see a large black "object" in the left of the frame, what was that? I looked up from the camera to see what it was, and there was "nothing" there. I took a second photo.

It appeared "normal." On closer examination, the black "object" appears to have a detailed form, something like folds of fabric. Even if it was "just" a camera malfunction, that in itself would suggest that the camera was affected by an electromagnetic anomaly.

I have asked the opinions of a number of people, and some people have shared their experiences with "black pillars" such as these that are drawing energy from living people, in other words, "negative" and "vampire" entities. Given the experiences of the person who lived there last, I wasn't surprised; I was there to clear out any and all negative energies. Primarily with a broom and dust bin, but I have my other techniques, as well.

If you have any problem with "negative" energies or entities, you can strengthen your aura with the techniques of psychic self-defense. My mentor Roger Armstrong spoke about this in some of the many videos of him I produced: https://www.youtube.com/psychicchild

Twelve Ways to Turbo-boost your Immune System (other than vitamins!)

by Aum Ear (Dan Shaw)

1. Sleep. Don't push yourself to 100%. Your body needs energy reserves, like water pooling before a waterfall. Take naps. Any technique that works for you to concentrate your mind on a single subject without distractions, such as meditation on a sight, such as a candle flame or mandala, or a sound such as a mantra or a chime, will provide many of the benefits of sleep.

2. Joy and Laughter. Enjoy life today, don't postpone joy.

3. Charge your electrical body. Take colloidal minerals. Walk barefoot on the Earth, swim in natural bodies of water. Take epsom salt baths. Get negative ions in nature and with an ion generator. ("The Body Electric.")

4. Water. Drink enough. Drink a glass of water first thing after waking up in the morning. (Read "Your Body's Many Cries for Water.")

5. Exercise. Engage in aerobic exercises that raise your circulation and oxygenation. The best time of day would be shortly after waking.

6. Breathing. Practice one (or more) of the many styles of conscious ("yogic") breathing. concentrating on the breath will do wonders. Remind yourself throughout the day to take deep breaths. Depression leads to depressed breathing, and conversely, good breathing relieves depression. ("Science of Breath.")

7. Music. Make sounds with your voice and musical instruments. Expose your whole body, not just the ears to the vibrations of acoustic music. Listen to popular music you enjoy, and also the full range of frequencies found in music such as by Aeoliah, Marci, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Todd Barton's DNA music, binaural beats, throat singing and other indigenous musical traditions, Gregorian chanting, Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, and other sacred music, non-western scales and microtones, and 440-Hertz tuning.

8. Sunlight. Expose your whole body, not just the eyes, the the warmth and light of sunlight. Full-spectrum lighting and infrared lamps can help.

9. Social relations. Spend time with the people you love. Express your feelings. Say the things that you know need to be said, including apologies, and speaking truth to power.

10. Nourishment. Eat the most alive foods attainable; sprouted seeds, fresh local fruits and veggies (in season!), as close to the source as possible, miso, herbal teas. Avoids foods that aren't fueling your body. Begin with small steps by eliminating one unhealthy (sugary!) food and replacing with one more healthful.

11. Savor life's gifts. Eat delicious foods, view nature, art, and beautiful sights, smell lovely aromas, touch and be touched, think comforting thoughts, learn something, feel gratitude.

12. Create things of beauty.

Scientific Vortex Information, By Pete A Sanders, Jr.

A Book Review by Dan Shaw

A quick, easy, useful introduction to working with vortex energies to develop psychic abilities. First published in 1981, this book recently came to my attention thanks to a facebook friend. The author is the founder of a non-profit mind-body education program in Sedona, Arizona, that teaches people how to "be their own teachers," in part by entering into a trance state, as far as I can tell from reading Pete's book, aptly subtitled, "The Free Soul Method, How to Easily Understand, Find, and Tap Vortex Energy in Sedona and Wherever You Travel."

Some authors have described vortexes as "electric," "magnetic," and "electromagnetic," but Pete says these terms are not descriptive or helpful. (He cites Page Bryant and Dick Sutphen as sources of this naming system.) Pete, who has the ability to see auras, instead prefers classifying vortexes according to the flow of their energies, primarily "upflow" and "inflow." These labels, Pete says, help you to identify what is going on at the site, and therefore, help you to tap into the vortex. Upflow vortexes are best for certain psychic skills, such as connecting with your guides, while inflow vortexes are better for going inward, for example, exploring past-life memories. Pete expands on this two-fold labeling system somewhat, describing areas that are combinations, either "inflow with a mini-upflow" or "upflow with a mini-inflow." He also adds in the element of "lateral flow," which he says can be used for "future scanning" the "river of time."

Importantly, Pete provides a simple and quick technique he developed, called the Soul-shift, to rapidly move into the “extradimensional soul” by moving your attention inward and upward through the body to a point above the head. The Soul-shift technique will doubtless help a lot of people “get out of their heads” and out of the way. Pete clarifies why “trying” doesn't work (“the overtrying trap”), and supports the reader to allow rather than force the process.

In my opinion, his reasoning is sound so far as it goes, but, his upflow / inflow / lateral perspective on vortexes is very “two-dimensional.” A three-dimensional spiral looks like a two-dimensional sine-wave when we see it from a certain limited perspective. All energy, whether a fluid like water or air, or an energy like plasma, tends to flow in spirals. Locally, we may experience the vortex spinning in a certain direction, clockwise, counter-clockwise, or perhaps, vertically. But our perception takes place in the three-dimensional (plus!) turbulent sea of electromagnetic energies, and other energies. As The Vortex Detective, my current understanding is that we're all “riding” on some part of one (or more?) toroid(s), a circular ring or “donut” of circulating energy.

Worth reading, especially if you don't already have a sense of the movement of energy at vortexes and a reliable technique for getting into the right headspace, or should I say, soulspace.
