CRYPTMUNDO 1.0

"LO!"the title of one of Charles Fort's books, when measuring a circle start anywhere....

aloha 2u,
\this blog may make you run screaming TMI! TMI! (too much inormation, G Man usedta shriek this when i went off into one of my know-it-all tangents,my friend and sometimes mentor O WISE HOWARD has probably been accused of much the same SIGH.

okay, in reverse order, i consider the spiritual godfathers of this blog to be three men...
GEORGE CARLIN (see quote stage right)
AMBROSE BIERCE (ditto)
and somoene you may never have heard of who changed my life forever,literally.
CHARLES FORT.(u can even  WIKI him up)

now FORT has given us two new words in the english langange,to wit;
1.FORTEAN
2.FORTEANA

so puberty, the books of Charles Fort and martial arts all entered my life about the same time..after my dad died...when JFK was killed, it was the critical thinking skills taught me by Chas Fort which made me doubt the official bullshit.

fortean phenomena  is defined as "any occurrence that appears to defy the laws of nature".
(IMHO this means the current myopic worldview of mainstream consensus science-our new secular mythology. see my prior comments om Bullfighting vs.Bull dancing).
you get a clearer idea of this if you have ever watched FRINGE or THE X FILES.

a few topics i will proably get into later

crop circles
mystery lights
loch ness monster and others
ghosts
ESP/psi
sasquatch/Bigfoot
faerie & faerie lights
crptozoology
UFOS and Men In Black
AREA 51 etc
miracles (see Lourdes etc)
images of the "Virgin Mary'
bleeding statues of same
crystal skullsof the aztecs
pyramidology

the christian bible as an inventory of fortean phenomena
eternal youth
the burning bush
jacob's ladder
methusalah
Samson
ufos and 40 years wandering  in the desert
parting the red sea
prophecy
walking on water
rising from the dead
healing lepers
loaves & fishes
who did Cain marry?
how exactly did God(s) walk in Eden???

so by now,if u haven't dozed off you probably think this is all TOO THEORETICAL
(right Pagani?)   NOT SO.
1.my jesus... i was outdoors in Harlem before my dad died as i recall, and i came to a lil used park area amidst the three square blox housing project.it was daylight and i was not drinking or on drugs, i was 8 or 9, and clear as anything i saw a glowing transparent image of our blond blue eyes jesus in in usual garb beckoning me to come to his embrace. i stood there,looked around for witnesses and found,none,considered my option then took a detour around him or his imago.i didn't think this too big a deal as this sorta crap happened all the time in the bible my Mom worshiped.

2.when i was doing a lot of LSD in the 60s i did few Psychic Readings for friends, i went into a trance and told them things about theirlif4e historys that i,as charles, did not know.
3. when i drove cab i studied Combat Tai Chi from Sifu GATE CHAN who had been raised and educated since the age of five in asian mysteries.
3a. now my Sifu (master, like the term sensei) talked to us about DIM MOK (the delayed Death Touch which killed BRUCE LEE-HE DIED OF POT AND COUGH SYRUP? C'MON. )  which is based on forcing the CHI into acupuncture points.now i have felt The Chi Flow and it was FABULOUS!

Chinese "Magic"..so one day Sifu showed us a vid he'd made at a Hong Kong martial arts fest..wherein a muscular man,stripped to the waist, submerged both fists into clear bowls of water maybe one or two ponts of water full..THE WATER THEN PROCEEDS TO DISAPPEAR INTO HIS BARE HANDS...then he jumps off the stage and runs thru the audience before going back to the stage and opening his handsa so that the water all returned.we, the class,sat all agoggle as the ever practical Sifu poo poo'd this as ALL A TRICK.WHAT GOOD IS IT? WORTHLESS FOR FIGHTING.   SIGH.

3b.
one thing i knew that my Sifu didn't, based on my own experience.
INVISIBLE ARMOR
now if you are a big fan of kung fu or samurai films you've noticed warriors doing battle with blow that would kill any normal person, you proabbly thot this was hyperbole or exaggeration,it is not.
now my Sifu poo poo'd Invisible Armor as being limited to only specifc parts of your body WHATCHA GOIN DO? ASK THE GUY ONLY TO HIT YOU HERE OR HERE,.WORTHLESS.as i said very practical the Chinese..trouble is, years ago, using mu self taught karate (hard style via Bruce Tegner How To books)
I HAD GOT INTO A FIGHT UTILIZING INVISIBLE ARMOR ACROSS MY ENTIRE BODY...now in those day i was strictly old school .

BTW one of my friends in Clinton H.S.. was a chinese american (ABC0 whose father was a karate tecaher so at fifteen he was already a 3rd dan black belt, somehow it came about that he invited me to join him at a martial arts exhibition. i did not think it that big a deal until i got there and saw that out of about 200 peeps i was one of about nine round eyes  ( non asians) so i saw the 70 year old plus founder of AIKIDO SNAP A PAIR OF BRAND NEW POLICE HANDCUFFS WITH THE EFFORT IT TAKES TO FLIT DUST OFF YOUR SLEEVE, THEN HE SPARRED WITH 8 BLACK BELTS ALL IN THEIR 30S AND FLUNG THEM AROUND LIKE RAG DOLLS.

THEN..MY INTRODUCTION OF KING FU AND CHI FOCUS..a young man takes about ten concrete roofing tiles and sets them up.now MAS OYAMA,founder and sensei of the karate i studied was known to have killed a live bull charging him,using only his hands and feet, and pictures of him smashing ten to twenty roofing tiles were aplenty even then (the early 60s)..

FIVE THRU EIGHT, he announced without fanfare , put down some burlap fabric,took a second or two to focus then slapped the tiles rather vigorously. note i say SLAPPED NOT PUNCHED. so someone from the audience came up and removed the burlap and removed the tiles one by one showing them to the crowd, did i mention i was one or two rows back from the mats-a signal honor! so each tile was intact and unbroken until he got to five thru eight which were PULVERIZED RUBBLE while nine and ten were unscathed.WOW!

anyway back to the fight, a guy in my debate group at the YMCA had been rubbing me the wrong way for months, thot he was a Harlem hardcase and badass, but he wasn't and he was pretty but stupid. so one meeting i decide to 'throw down' (fight).now i had fought six guys recently with my back against a wall and had come out with only a few bruises so i was fairly confident i could take him but first-foolishly in retrospect-i had to see what he knew.i quickly found out he was taking classes and not the How To books i was used to-a back fist to the face sent my glasses flying, then a flurry of punches followed by a jump kick to the solar plexus BUT HE BOUNCED OFF ME AND I WAS BOTH NOT STAGGERED NOR HURT,i hardly noticed as i closed the room around him by herding him into a corner.he tried every trick and lesson in his arsenal then i saw it..I SAW THE FEAR IN HIS EYES, GROW LIKE TOXIC WEEDS heh heh heh..

i had won.i allowed three guys to pull me off him so that i didn't do any lasting damage but i broke his spirit using a technique i would not hear about until a decade later.( Cool eh? Z man.)

4.where was i?
faerie,note the spelling, these are now the Disney creatures like Tinkerbell. the faerie/elfs AKA THE SIDDHE (pronounced SHEee) like Lord OF The Rings use THE OLDE MAGICKES and were know to kidnap peeps,steal and switch babies,destroy entire cultures etc etc.there wa some guy in england  around the 1900s who actually managed to photograph some faerie at their so called  fairy rings..think i still have hos book around here somewhere.now one sign of faerie are the faerie lights,which are in fact a lot like Tinkerbell, lil points of intelligent interactive lights usually seen far from civilization.

THE BOONVILLE BUZZ circa 2000

now Mendocino County is remote,mountainous and sparsely popluated, we lived atop a small mtn for about five years and i was MISERABLE, it felt like my soul was sinking into The Abyss.so,being the nosy beings that we are, Soul Mate and i soon heard about The Boonville Buzz-allegedly a secret military experiment in mind control? mass hypnosis? weather control? nobody knew. what they DID know was that once or twice a week between about three and five ayem something happened which drove animals crazy, rattled the fillings in your teeth and the dishes in your cupboard.Area 52 West maybe?
so after two hundred plus blogs you probably realize that i am fairly and often unfairly rational and sane (BTW i DO have test results proving this,i took Psych Measurement classes at SF State)... my ppint is i began seeing fairie lights outside my west bedroom window at night (it faced Boonville thru some mtns), if i looked away they (sometimes there were more than one)  would follow my glance if i closed my eyes rapidly they did tricks, this has never happened before or since but i usually live in cites not on mountaintops.now Soul Mate herslef actually saw them once or twice but now claims to have no memory  of it...

BTW no i DO NOT HAVE A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY BUT I USED TO,most of these blogs are done without notes using only what i can dredge up. i have seen the term HOLOGRAPHIC MEMORY used, i like that better as sometimes i see only a fragment of something then pull it into clearer focus and 'all is revealed'.

hmmm,
i seem to have wandered far afield from what i wanted to see and it s'posed to be AT LEAST 98 degrees here today and i have yet another medical appt to attend and my 15 crabby HP printer just died.

hell, just Google Charles Fort and you get over 36,00 hits. some day in darkest winter qwhen your mind is getting flabby...


one last thing, Fort wrote most famously about lights moving across lunar crater visible thru any cheap telescope in the early 1900s, rains of frogs or fishes...species specific apparently despite 'scientific explanations'...we humans are a superstitous species and we like our stories dumbed down and easily digestible.Baaaaaa, Baaaaa.....

  2. I don't have anything against theoretical things - I practically live in the theoretical world. :) I do think you torment yourself too much sometimes but that is a completely different issue.
