10 DEGREES OF RECKONING
> November 4th, 2009
This week I am on vacation, again. Isn’t it great? Maybe not so much for you? Since I’m a country bumkin and have dial up internet at home, I am merely uploading a show that already ran. My friend Kathy notified me recently that this book is now doing pretty well. I interviewed the author a while back and I don’t know how many have heard the story. It is pretty amazing. It is a story of survival, determination, incredible will, love and divine assistance. Hestor Rumberg is a good friend of Judith Sleavin’s, and moved forward to tell her amazing story. Why do bad things happen to good people? Is there always a greater purpose? Are there angels or spirit guides around us?
If you already heard this show, sorry, if you haven’t it is inspiring to hear how one woman survived an ordeal that most would not. Next week Lisa Shiel discusses her book Evolution Conspiracies and we speculate as to our true origins!
Happy Halloween! This week I speak with 3 middle school students about ghost stories. It all started quite simply, I was talking with Julie Mallard about the United Way, it just so happened that her daughter was with her. Somehow (gee I wonder how that happened) we got on the topic of ghost stories and Kristin had a few to share. I thought it would be fun if we got a few folks in the studio and recorded a Halloween show dealing with ghost stories. Remember how much fun it was as a kid to tell ghost stories. Remember the innocense of being a kid. So many things we didn’t quite understand but yet we were blessed because we were pure. So this week I welcome Julie Mallard, her daughter Kristin, her son Eric, and Riley Goddard. They all have had experiences of their own. Kristin and Eric believe that their dad’s house has a spirit, and just recently dad admitted to them that he saw something too. I see that as progress, good job guys!
Here is the rest of the show that David and I recorded a couple of weeks ago and that aired recently on radio in southern lower Michigan and on the internet. David talks to many in the ufo world, the biggest name probably is Stanton Freidman. He also has done shows with Bud Hopkins, whose work I have followed for quite some time. He has written books and works with MUFON and other organizations. Why would someone become so involved with a topic that many would say does not exist? We all have a passion for something, the question is, why? With most, I think it’s personal experience. Perhaps it’s part of a greater plan, a plan we put forward before we came here. Maybe we just don’t realize it til later in life. Even then do we truly get it? Just imagine if none of this phenomena existed? Would others say that we wasted our lives looking for something that didn’t exist? How would they know? They’re still alive….. Furthermore, how do they know they haven’t spent most of their lives believing a lie????? 
Cool name, huh?
This week I talk to the highly acclaimed Tj Ryan. Seems like a pretty good chap. I thought I would go back and highlight some of my recent shows and share some insight on what I think may be going on. I touch on 2012, did you know there is a new movie coming out that portrays it as a great disaster that the ancients forwarned us about. I started thinking recently that if this is part of a cycle, and it happens every so often, and others have survived, well, who knows, right? Also I talk a bit about a strange story I heard a while back and it could be related to the man/wolf. It’s just that people tell you something, and at the time it seems a little bizarre, and years later it makes some sense. 
I saw an email a few weeks back and it caught my attention. The woman’s name was Peg Franklin and it was mentioning something about a process called THE LIFEFIELD TECHNIQUE. After checking out the website I discovered that there may be another way that one can help cleanse and discover your true self. Are there negative energies that surround us and are they hampering us from receiving a greater energy life force? I think that could be true. Others have called it the aura, or chi. Is that possible, or is it just crazy talk? Some of you will think it is crazy regardless of who is speaking, so be it. I remember years ago a channel in Marquette did a cleansing of my energy field and I felt really good right after it. Did I believe her? Not sure, it could have just been due to the suggestion. Heck, I wasn’t even sure back then if I believed channeling was a hoax or not. Do I go to these things very often? No. Why? Sometimes people fall in love with the teaching and they want the power that goes with it. It’s ego based and I tend to avoid those kinds of functions. “You need to listen to me because I have gained just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of enlightenment and I have all of the answers.” Uh….I don’t think so, plus we are all on our own journey and that should be respected. That’s what I like about my guest this week, like the channeler I visited years ago, she is very humble, laughs, and is down to earth. Even if she is speaking a truth that is beneficial, she’s not forcing it on me. I welcome Peg Franklin from Belmont, Michigan this week. 
I welcome back Jack Allis from Wisconsin to talk about the shift this week. What is the shift? If this is true, how will it affect me? What kind of changes will we see? Jack discusses the change that could be coming. 
Tom Maat joins me from Western Lower Michigan on this weeks show. He is a member/co founder of the Great Lakes Paranormal Research Organization, Mufon, and The American Ghost Society. I was impressed with his website (michigans otherside.com) because it deals with all kinds of paranormal investigations, not just ghosts. I like talking about ghosts, but I am curious about all things. Tom also has Shamanistic training. What does that mean? I am sure there are many terms for the word. He tells me that he is merely sensitive to energy and leads a natural earthy lifestyle. I have never met Tom before but I did like his essence. He appears to be the real deal to me, he’s not in this just to get attention or make a name for himself. Does he have the ability to pick up on other energies? Spirits? See for yourself and hear some interesting stories.
I’d like to introduce you to my brother from a previous time. I don’t know when it was, it just was. Now if you saw my brother in a dark alley perhaps he would frighten you, he is a big man. At one time he maybe wasn’t always a pleasant man. Earlier in life he was controlled by the bottle. Maybe his ego was too much in control as well. He’s not like that now, I assure you. He is a gentle giant with a great sense of humility and humor. He has some strange stories to tell. I have heard them many times, they are funny, interesting and I believe true. See for yourself. His name is Dan Dunlop, and we have known each other for quite some time. Right away there was a connection.
