New Thinking Allo Oct 28, 2020 Paul Kalas is adjunct professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley. He is known for his discoveries of debris disks around stars. Paul led a team of scientists to obtain the first visible-light images of an extrasolar planet. He has been recording his own dreams since his teenage years. He is the author of The Oneironauts: Using Dreams to Engineer Our Future. His website is https://sites.google.com/view/oneiron… Here he describes dreams he had that, after careful examination, he believes were precognitive in nature. He explains the process by which he came to rule out alternative explanations. One of these dreams, in particular, appears to have contained detailed information regarding one of his major astronomical discoveries. He suggests that the study of precognitive dreams could be accelerated through application of sophisticated computer analysis. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series.

Book: “Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence”

Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence
Alan Steinfeld
“I feel it is one of the best approaches I have found to grasp the most jarring enigma humanity has ever faced.” —George Noory, host of Coast to Coast AM
“We cannot separate the earth from its greater cosmic environment. What is needed is a new story and Alan Steinfeld’s Making Contact is part of that story.” —Deepak Chopra, Author, Total Meditation
How can we prepare for an event that is literally beyond anything humanity has ever faced?
Making Contact presents multiple perspectives on what no longer can be denied: UFOs and their occupants are visiting our world. The book answers questions which remain in the wake of the recent Pentagon’s disclosures as to who and why these beings are here.
The volume contains original writings by the leading experts of the phenomena such as: Linda Moulton Howe, Earthfiles reporter, Whitley Strieber best-selling author of Communion, Professor John E. Mack, former head of the Harvard Medical school of psychiatry and an alien abduction investigator, Darryl Anka internationally known for his communication with the extraterrestrial Bashar, Nick Pope, former UK Ministry of Defense UFO investigator, Grant Cameron expert on American presidents and UFOs, Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak, globalists and founders of the worldwide organization, The Academy for Future Science, Caroline Cory, director of Superhuman and ET: Contact, Mary Rodwell, author of the New Human about star-seed children, Henrietta Weekes, actress and writer, expressing the poetic aspects of making contact. Alan Steinfeld, contributes and curates the collection with 30 years of experience with the subject. The Foreword by George Noory of Coast to Coast AM kicks off the volume with his veteran overview of the need to wake up to the “new realities of extraterrestrial existence.”
At this critical juncture in the government’s official acknowledgement of the reality of UFOs/UAPs, scientists, politicians and mainstream news outlets have no idea what to make of these startling revelations or the outpouring of sightings and “contact” experiences currently being reported on a global scale. The book stands as the most comprehensive clarification to date on the intent and intelligence behind the phenomena. The variety of viewpoints expressed in the volume provide a solid foundation for the “preparation” of the greatest challenge to ever face humankind.
Making Contact stands as the essential handbook for embracing the most exalted moment in history: Meeting the cosmic others.

Word-Built World: Et Cetera
Latin phrase Et ‘and.’ Cetera ‘the rest.’

Et Cetera (English: /ɛtˈsɛtərə/ or (proscribed) English: /ɛkˈsɛtərə/, Latin: [ɛt ˈkeːtɛra]), abbreviated to etc., etc, et cet., &c. or &c[1][2] is a Latin expression that is used in English to mean “and other similar things”, or “and so forth”. Translated literally from Latin, et means ‘and’, while cētera means ‘the rest’; thus the expression translates to ‘and the rest (of such things)’.

Book: “American Exception: Empire and the Deep State”

American Exception: Empire and the Deep State
Aaron Good
American Exception seeks to explain the breakdown of US democracy. In particular, how we can understand the uncanny continuity of American foreign policy, the breakdown of the rule of law, and the extreme concentration of wealth and power into an overworld of the corporate rich. To trace the evolution of the American state, the author takes a deep politics approach, shedding light on those political practices that are typically repressed in “mainstream” discourse.
In its long history before World War II, the US had a deep political system—a system of governance in which decision-making and enforcement were carried out within—and outside of—public institutions. It was a system that always included some degree of secretive collusion and law-breaking. After World War II, US elites decided to pursue global dominance over the international capitalist system. Setting aside the liberal rhetoric, this project was pursued in a manner that was by and large imperialistic rather than progressive. To administer this covert empire, US elites created a massive national security state characterized by unprecedented levels of secrecy and lawlessness. The “Global Communist Conspiracy” provided a pretext for exceptionism—an endless “exception” to the rule of law.
What gradually emerged after World War II was a tripartite state system of governance. The open democratic state and the authoritarian security state were both increasingly dominated by an American deep state. The term deep state was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it herein refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions. Key institutions involve the relationships between the overworld of the corporate rich, the underworld of organized crime, and the national security actors that mediate between them. History-making interventions include the toppling of foreign governments, the launching of aggressive wars, and the political assassinations of the 1960s. The book concludes by assessing the prospects for a revival of US democracy.

Tarot Card for May 26: The Three of Disks
The Lord of Works indicates concentrated effort applied with great determination and diligence to a situation requiring your whole attention.
This is a card that often comes up to mark the achievement of goals in your working area, and teaches attainment through effort. It advises you to keep the pressure up so that you maintain momentum, and to pay attention to detail.
It will sometimes appear in a reading to reveal a period where you concentrate all your thoughts and aspirations on one target, and then channel all your energies into that project, to the exclusion of all else. Sometimes people do this in order to avoid facing emotional pain and distress. It’s worth looking for evidence of this when the Three of Disks comes up. Whilst it can be useful in the short-term to achieve something when you feel hurt, it can often be very damaging if you continue to hide from your own feelings.
The Lord of Works indicates high levels of professional ambition, and promises the drive and confidence to achieve these. There’s a good deal of dynamic energy attached to the card, and this is usually well-harnessed and put to good use.
Take the Three of Disks as a largely positive card, which shows that hard work and concentration can eventually gain you your highest objectives. But it’s important to remember that you need to be fully focused on the project in hand, allowing nothing to get in the way.

Weekly Invitational Translation Group
Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract.” The first step is an ontological statement of being beginning with the syllogism: “Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all there is.” The second step is the sense testimony (what the senses tell us about anything). The third step is the argument between the absolute abstract nature of truth from the first step and the relative specific truth of experience from the second step. The fourth step is filtering out the conclusions you have arrived at in the third step. The fifth step is your overall conclusion.
The claims in a Translation may seem outrageous, but they are always (or should always) be based on self-evident syllogistic reasoning. Here is one Translation from this week.
1) Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all there is. Truth being all is therefore total, therefore complete, therefore otherless, therefore one, therefore whole, therefore united, therefore harmonious. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is all that is, therefore I, being, am Truth. Since, I, being, am Truth, therefore I, being, am total, complete, otherless, one, whole, united, harmonious. Since I, being, am Truth and since I am Mind, therefore Truth is Mind.
2) Rubbing someone or something the wrong way may cause friction, inflammation and pain.
Word-tracking:
rubbing SB the wrong way: irritant, annoying, loathsome, hatred, odious, odor
friction: to grind to little pieces or make small, rubbing two objects together
inflammation: flame, flagrant, emotional, to move out, motivate
pain: penalty, punishment, emotional distress
distress: to draw tight or to draw asunder
3) Truth being one cannot be drawn asunder, drawn apart, pained, therefore Truth is painless. Truth being all that is and “potent” meaning the ability to be, therefore Truth is the sole power. Truth being the sole power and being all that is, therefore infinite, therefore Truth is omnipotent. Truth being omnipotent cannot lack power, potency, force, movement, motivation, emotion, therefore Truth is an infinite emotional resource. Truth being one and friction being the rubbing of two things together, there is no friction in Truth. Since there is no friction in Truth, there is no grinding into small pieces in Truth, therefore Truth is flagrant empowering, Oneness is flagrant empowering. Since Truth is one, there is nobody or nothing other than Truth to rub the wrong way or against, therefore Truth can only emit the odor of love.
4) Truth is painless.
Truth is the sole power.
Truth is Omnipotent.
Truth is an infinite emotional resource.
There is no friction in Truth.
Truth is flagrant empowering, Oneness is flagrant empowering.
Truth can only emit the odor of love.
5) Truth is the infinite emotional resource of flagrant empowerment and the fragrance of oneness/love.
