Ghost Light Schooner in the Night Sky

by Ted Denmark

I was having a nice evening soak in my newly-launched solar-heated hot tub, admiring how well the solar-powered motion detector LED lights glowing in low illumination mode, made the evening experience on the also fairly new hot tub deck. I was wondering if I would really like to see the dark night sky without the LED lights since they were relatively easy to turn off but I did not want to get up and do it now in any event—the most visible constellation to the east of the cherry tree adjacent to the hot tub at this time of year and time of day would be Scorpio, which only tends to emphasize situations with other people, and I would be here by myself for most of the summer … so, needing only to enjoy the experience of the moment …

I soon noticed that there seemed to be more than the average number of overhead jet flights this evening, coming from diverse directions and speeding by with the delayed distant wash of audio white noise following the visual flashing lights. They weren’t passenger jets for most of the time of year since these are directed over different areas at different times so that no one area gets all the noise and pollution for too long a time—at least it had been that way here for many years. It was another wonderful evening at around 10 o’clock with only a few late bird calls out in the forest and rustling tails of the local wood rats hustling up their late night snacks and resting place for the evening. And me, feeling tired after a long day’s work at various tasks, now getting some needed therapy for my knees and ankles in the hot water that had cooled down to about 102d from a high of about 108d at the time I took off the cover around 7 o’clock.

I was beginning to feel very relaxed when I happened to look up into the western sky because my peripheral vision had seemingly detected another overflight directly above the direction I was facing. I noticed that the fairly bright light or lights were not flashing as required for all aircraft, which a quick reflective check told me is unusual: what kind of airplane is allowed to fly without flashing lights? At the time I didn’t know for sure, but I knew it was rare to see in any event. I kept watching … it was coming my way on a diagonal track, moving very fast like a military jet. I could soon see that the pattern of lights, which were slowly increasing in size, were something unusual, something that I could not ever remember seeing before. As the object continued to get closer, I could now begin to see that the top-most light in the array was a uniformly bright and wide but vertically narrow rectangle above a line of three bright spot lights a little narrower than the wide light above them. Then, there was a dark band just below them, and below that another pattern of spot lights a little less bright and distinct or obvious in number, seeming to melt into each other. And finally, at the bottom of the nearly square pattern of lights was another wide light of lower illumination than the one at the top but similar to it. It was becoming clear to me that this was indeed very unusual … and I was beginning to understand that something very odd was happening here at nearly the same place in the sky … again.

The “again” part was a recollection that I had witnessed a few weeks before when a very unusual kind of ‘moving cloud’ sighting had appeared long enough for me to have a good look—and at nearly the same place and on a very similar course of direction—but during the day. At that time the crew of local ravens had been rousted out to come flying by my window to get me to come outside, which I did since they were so insistent with their squawking. As I recount in another short description of that event, which turned out to be … the Pleiadian Cloud Climber spacecraft that overflew my house for the first time when it reached its closest position and the obscuring cloud on my side fell away to reveal the full-sized “flying saucer” beamship that then quickly disappeared behind the upper story of my house. This had later been confirmed to my wife Julie and I in one of our Telepresence Conferences by Phindar, who was doubtless the one who had arranged the display. So, now “they” or he again, had arranged for me to see the craft they have nicknamed Cece, this time for an overhead night flight (!).

I was stunned to have this happen again, as I realized I was beginning to understand … as yet another confirmation of our amazing story, coming out of the longish sequence of first quick glimpses or flashes of the large beamship over the course of years and now more extended views of the magnificent starship, crewed by our future-self counterparts. As I realized afterwards, which had come just after the time I had re-read the lines in the TC Conference I was working on editing for the first volume of the new series of our books (*Exotic Visitors from the Quantum Realm*) … in which Phindar assures Julie and I that we will get to travel on the Could Climber ourselves in full physical presence before our assignment here on Earth in finished. It was indeed reassuring—if still overwhelming—to consider, but I could only feel amazed that this was evidence for us to know that they were getting closer and closer to fulfillment of the promise, as they tell us in this session of bringing us aboard Cece to gain enough familiarity in virtual awareness so that we would not feel faint or frightened when the great day comes. It was a lot to take in on a quiet dark night of star gazing for which one could only feel grateful to our dear friends and Pleiadian future selves, Rhi and Phindar.

The first thing to note here just after the Summer Solstice is that the cherries are fully ripe on my mature south side yard tree, and my local feathered friends are in a kerfluffle over getting a bit more than their fair share of the tasty red sugar juice. The small birds are the cutest as they try to hide their depredations in lines of attack from the sides opposite the house, but this year for the first time the small but growing band of ravens, now a task force of four large adult birds, appeared one morning going back and forth between the old redwood upper deck and the cherry tree’s top branches, bending them over almost to the breaking point (adult ravens are fairly large jet black birds about the size of chickens). When I heard them squawking, I had to go out and shoo them off before they could do any real damage (and bird poop the deck). They were definitely upset with me, but I told them they had to go in no uncertain terms. The amazing thing is/was that they didn’t come back for a second scolding, so at least I won that round. Ravens are very smart and equally clever sky scouts but also, I think I learned, sensitive to being given a disciplined fair warning. So they are more interactive in this way than I would have suspected—and appear to have understood why they were unwelcome. They did show up again four days later to set a vigil by jumping around the dead branches at the top of the old snag just below the tree line of the south meadow to fuss and squawk at their prospects for making a return raid, but when I came out again onto the deck to wave my arms, they flew away and did not reappear before the cherries were all gone.

Well, the other big seasonal news of late spring is that the solar-heated hot tub (below the cherry tree) is working beautifully with little attention needed except for taking the cover off a couple of hours before its intended use since it heats up to about 108d in the late afternoon and then settles back to 102d when uncovered for an hour or so, which seems about right for a dip by early evening when outside temperatures drop down to the mid-sixties. It’s hard to value in money terms, but as a lifestyle amenity, it’s nearly life changing … feels really good, restful—even free on a daily basis—and even luxurious, particularly with the newly installed back yard solar motion lights that stay on at low intensity all night but brighten up when anyone walks around in the vicinity. Of course, looking up at the dark night sky is a wonder out here in the country away from city or other bright lights. This new high-life afforded by the upgraded hot tub deck has transformed the south side yard like nothing else (or at least after the new fire wood storage shed added last year… and of course the cherry tree that I call “the Champ” that I set out thirty years ago).

Well, also with the exception of the new ‘changing room’ that was completed last year to go with the hot tub/ cool pool deck lifestyle, allowing anyone expecting to use the tub to have a place to change into bathing ware (or “clothes optional” for private use) and stash their things. The changing room is a small 8’ by 10’ room adjacent to the hot tub deck that has no fewer than four doors, two leading to the deck, one leading to the new downstairs bedroom (now still my tool room but this will have to change sometime soon) and one leading into the downstairs bathroom, all doors with glass in the upper half, having replaced the window that was previously in place before the changing room was built into that corner of the house under the rehabbed redwood deck above. The changing room is sealed and fully insulated, now allowing complete lower floor air circulation to occur for heated or chilled air to move in circular paths throughout the downstairs master suite, like on the upper floor—another remarkably successful upgrade—making the lower floor plan fully complete with better access to everything. Having a refreshing water tank for a dip, whether as the cool pool on a hot afternoon or a hot tub on a chilly late evening (not both on the same day of course), brings one closer to the wondrous nature in the spacious privacy of one’s own back yard.

The final bit of news on the plumbing front (after the addition of the new tankless hot water heater installed last year) is the addition of a new 500 gallon thermoplastic domestic potable water storage tank up the hill above the old orchard. The old redwood water storage tank can now be used for irrigation watering for the drip network system, and the new tank, set about thirty feet higher, will service the house with new valves and pipe runs that will increase the gravity flow water pressure inside the house and hose runs around the house. This has also been a long time coming as a significant upgrade to the service level as well as automation of the overall water system (the new water tank overflows into the irrigation system water tank so only one pumping cycle is required for maintenance of water capacity).

The final stage of the current upgrade to the water system coming later this summer will be to build a small pump house over the new (as of three years ago) solar-powered deep well, more easily protecting the plumbing from freezing weather and providing room for a manifold of uses down by the spring on the lower service road, such as filling the also new lower thousand gallon thermoplastic water storage tank as well as the lower redwood pumping tank for getting water up the hill to the two storage tanks above the orchard, and for local water bottle filling and fire safety use on the lower road. There will be room in the new pump house for a backup 220 volt gas-powered generator, fire hoses and a future solar electric vehicle charging station. This new pump house will make use of most of the remaining versatile commercial refrigeration panels (white enamel steel-polyurethane-steel sandwich) that have now been used for much of the final construction of the house and environs (hot tub deck and various roof and storage decks) over the last decade.

So, the spacious (3,014 sq. ft.) GEMO (Golden Eagle Manzanita Oaks) House is finally finished, feeling fully complete, and a beautiful and very lovely place it has become to spend a long summer in either carefree or working mode with satellite wifi and cell tower connectivity. For someone who would like to be here in this parklike setting in the high Sierra, now that the drought is over and the forest is healthy and almost back to normal … it’s a breath of very fresh air with a hint of pine. The new milder winter season with less snow here at 4,000 feet ain’t too bad either, particularly for skiers wanting to find it up the hill at Bear Valley (where there is still plenty of the white powder, sometimes called “California concrete” by colder climate Colorado skiers).

There is one more amenity that is currently happening that could be of great interest to anyone wishing to live the outdoors Sierra lifestyle but afraid of the fire danger that is always present in these forested areas: a U.S. Forest Service sponsored fire abatement program that is now underway throughout the Dowd’s Landing Subdivision, will remove a lot of undergrowth and smaller trees and bushes on these large acreage lots, making fire risk management much easier than in previous years. This will finally also remove all the dead and downed trees that were not able to survive the drought era of the last decade. It is probably also worth mentioning for those not familiar with why our area here near the Stanislaus River Canyon, has such a good fire management record: the Columbia Airport, home to the amazing Forest Service fire-fighting air force (CDF), is only ten minutes away by air. They are a reliable resource always at the ready that has saved countless homes and properties in past years with their quick response time, something we can all be very grateful for, safeguarding our high Sierra lifestyle to be enjoyed in comfort and peace.

3 Dot Screen Shots

by Ted Denmark

There are two major events happening in the USA-centric world today, one that affects everyone in the wider world and one that primarily effects circumstances in the USA—and then everyone else—so, this double whammy has now become quite sensational and more than a bit confusing to put it mildly. The first global astronomical effect is that of the perigee or close approach of new Planet Athena (“Planet 9”) to our main solar system, which happened on the Winter Solstice 2011. This event closely approximated another widely heralded expectation: the ending of the Mayan Great Cycle of the Long Count Calendar forecast one year later (on the Winter Solstice of 2012!). The details of the Mayan Calendar are too complex to consider here, but it is my belief that their long cycle calendar was an attempt to account for the effects of what is—and was seen by them—as a major sub-cycle transition event of the Precession of the Equinoxes. This timing event, the calibration of the approximate 12-to-14-thousand-year orbital cycle of Planet Athena and its close approach to the main solar system, was apparently not known or understood in the ancient Vedic culture (which did know about the existence of Planet 9 or Athena) or modern western scientific circles which has only gained awareness and interest very recently. This close approach of massive Planet Athena, which every 12,000 years alternatively marks the beginnings of the Age of Aquarius and Age of Leo, always results in a period of intense macro changes on Earth and its sibling planets because of the resulting powerful gravitational and electromagnetic couplings that result with high focus over a period of about 200-250 years. These powerful energies result in an expansive physical growth pattern of the Earth itself (the same “Earth Changes” that Edgar Cayce also saw happening but with consequences expected much earlier) and all its “kingdoms in nature,” including the human kingdom, whose impacts and upsets we are witnessing on a wide scale today at home and abroad. Of all this there can now be no doubt, even if the delayed overhanging effects are still ramping up. (See my new book Revisioning Astrology for more details in a deeper context, including those of brown-dwarf star Astraea that is also directly aligned with the Precession cycle)

The second of these two major cyclic events, which first impacts the USA and subsequently the rest of the world, is its astrological Pluto Return; this cycle is one of approximately 248 years, beginning from the time of founding when countries, their governments and cultures naturally reach a decline of viability on the ending threshold of endeavor and must re-invent themselves or experience increasingly troubling misfortune since they will have inevitably fallen out of sync. This is not an option; it is the ‘cleanup stage’ in the lifetimes of civilizations when a stage of growth comes to its natural conclusion, however fortunate or perhaps ineffective that full quadri-millenial period may have been in catalyzing a growth process. The appearance of the USA on the world stage near the end of the 18^th Century, along with revolutionary France a little later and reformist England a little earlier were the main events of this most recent stage of growth of world civilization (with the discovery of Planet Uranus—that I now call Urania: see Revisioning Astrology). The Middle East and Far East have differing tempos—though still subject to the vicissitudes of Planets Pluto and Urania as well as Planet Athena cycles—but less so inherently for the USA Pluto Return cycle per se, except in response to it—their nations have different start times and thus different Pluto Return times. So, we currently see the USA destabilizing an already destabilized world during a powerful Jupiter square Saturn conjunct Neptune aspect in an effort to re-invent itself—or at least trying to do something different that was rightly or wrongly seen as successful at an earlier time—to regain its composure and stature. And that ain’t no ordinary clown performing his dress-up act as three-ring circus master in the center circle (oval office) as well as that of contortionist and sword swallower, under the USA big top.

The immediate situation here on the home front, of course, is that of MAGA and the return of Trumpty Dumpty, the unleashed free-wheeling “destroyer of worlds” on the whim of a loose-lipped rage … the self-styled American presidential king who has turned on his fawning kingdom in an orgy of destruction, unlike anything yet witnessed in the sweep of American history. For MAGA it is retaliation and retribution against a governmental culture that had become so preoccupied and stuck in doctrinaire legalististic globalist fantasies and just plain boring schitzoid delusions that it could no longer be tolerated by a sufficient majority who were willing to “go for broke” and try the wild, untried alternative to a very nice but ‘cutting along the dotted line’ Democrat Party trying to hold the course in a failing consensus. Trumpism 2.0 is the blatant and flagrant agent of the Pluto Return—the big monkey who throws the big monkey wrench into our historic destiny that had already been in fading and disappointing decline for several decades of confusion, uncertainty and even “Deep State” disaster. What are we to do, the seemingly innocent and possibly progressive bystanders on the sidelines hoping for respite, and what might we expect next?

Well, with the Trum-Musk bromanace not only over but blown to bits in mid June 2025 and the tariff hijinks caper (temporarily?) blocked by the courts at the same time, and with Harvard possibly holding the legal as well as sporting upper-hand for its courageous stand in contention, we find the honeymoon phase (if there ever was one) over and the hard ball skirmish moving into red-light damage control territory for early summer and beyond. Has the MAGA reign of terror been herded closer to its tiger cage (or are we witnessing a whelping lioness? See Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar for hints …)? The restraining orders of a court system are only waiting in line long enough to build their case against the hyper-volatile presidential king for everyone to see how far over the line he will go before public opinion and the houses of congress come to thier senses and begin to challenge and perhaps even turn the battleship of self destruction around … or for the men (and women!) in white coats to be summoned to wait in the wings for their call to duty. Sure, he’s a wild and crazy guy, and the next gambit is always going to be seeing how much he can get away with, even pushing back on the court system—always aware of their actual powerlessness—before general alarm ensues and everyone begins to hear rumors of this real challenge to the viability or even takeover of democracy (enter Gavin Newsome from stage left) … like a century ago, when another raging pretender’s ill-fated obsessions rose to mark the end of the Age of Pisces. Sadly enough, cyclic symmetry suggests it will be another hundred years before our world will be able to return to anything like ‘normality’ before this current shakeout will be able to resolve itself in some kind of backflip … in the natural course of events on the sole remaining habitable planet in our home solar system—with a lot of help from our dear EXV (Exotic Visitor or ET) friends who are here to help in large measure—but only in a limited way as their cautious governing councils allow.

But in the meantime we have the beginning of a necessary sorting out process to find where we, as citizen stakeholders stand—to the extent that we do stand up or merely see what we can make of it from our kitchen chairs or living room sofas—in the wake of the current choppy chaos, particularly under the increasing fog of a destructive trade war against Europe and China as well as the ominous horror of the new drone warfare era in Israel and Ukraine with several other unresolved twentieth Century dead-locks heating up on the sidelines for a big main stage entry (Taiwan/China, the two Koreas, Kashmir and now the Israel/Iran War, among lesser crises). The borders of countries in contention, just like the boundaries of the continental plates underneath them at their margins, must loosen their locked patterns in a wave of inevitable growth as we correspondingly must also find our places of dedication or mere safety as the very Earth heats up for a surge of necessary expansive healing and … well, growth (it’s alive and growing just like we are—at a slow but unrelenting pace at its scale level, along with the rest of the solar system and wider universe).

More about this well-timed revenge of now demoted (?) Planet Pluto with the arrival of the new real but still hidden Planet 9 (Athena) will be the subject of the next installment of this new, hopefully now heralded context of elapsing time in our era of diminishing returns, with a wave of sympathy …. well, not so easily granted … to our European cousins and erstwhile friends (who call him Pluton) now also in a tsunami of distress. I will hope to take this interpretative tale onward and upwards in the bit-stream of disintermediation, gods and goddesses willing, in the next posting of this … I never really liked the ugga-mugga term “blog” from the early days of the information superhighway but for now … first throw-down of an anticipated weblog run to be subtitled … three dot screen shots … coming across the bow of a world-historical amnesiac nation captivated in screenland on a blue dot of planetary trouble in a solar system somewhere near the edge of our very slowly swirling Milky Way … having arrived once again at a crossroads of destiny, hoping it won’t be as difficult as it was last time 12,000 years ago—which was a real disaster.

This exploration is seen as a needed revisioning of certain techniques and interpretations of Western natal astrology while adding major new areas of interest in this ‘exo-planet era,’ featuring a derived astrological timing concept called Soul-Entry Time, based on the revelation that the incarnating soul determines its own imprint time of commitment to the anticipated forthcoming physical life experience independently but in relation to the traditional first-breath time. This usually occurs within the half-day preceding or following the recorded first-breath moment.  The idea was originally presented to the author by channel sources Hilarion and consort Athena. The book Esoteric Astrology of Alice A. Bailey is also cited as inspiration on this wide-ranging update of both fundamentals and new ideas in astrology.

An interpreted context of brain-mind neurological research is offered as a rationale for understanding why the dualistic human mentality seen in brain lateralization would naturally be best characterized by a corresponding pair of astrology charts based on two fundamental timing moments of initialization near the time of birth, rather than only the traditional first-breath one. This then becomes the new spiritual adjunct—the “missing half” of traditional astrology. A small sample group of ten biographies with analysis of chart graphics is offered in conclusion as evidence to anchor and clarify the approach. 

This analysis includes advocacy of a new house system called Power Ray Houses (perhaps most satisfying to anyone aware of the ‘Gauquelin enigma’), a new planetary ruler for Virgo (Ceres), the debris of the Asteroid Belt seen as the remains of an ancient destroyed planet (Malona, Phaeton) and the discovery of Astraea, a nearby brown dwarf star that is gravitationally coupled to our main Solar System—a previously unknown additional modulation of the very important and somewhat mysterious Precession of the Equinoxes. Astraea, about eight times the mass of Jupiter, is a major factor for more accurately determining the precession cycle, along with another new massive entrained Planet in the outer solar system (“Planet 9”), here being called Athena, together as a ‘Return of the Goddess’ to complete planetary rulership and restore gender balance ‘in the heavens.’

It is revealed that Planet Athena made its closest approach to the inner solar system on December 21 of 2011, thus (nearly) coinciding with the famous target date of the long-count Mayan Calendar.  The hunt for the celestial event correlated with the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is thus set to this date.  From this a calibration of the precession cycle is made with the Hindu Yuga Cycle as interpreted by Sri Yukteswar in his book The Holy Science.

Perhaps the most ambitious advancement call to be presented is that of integrating the study and meaning of stellar energies into the typical planetary emphasis of the western Tropical Zodiac via the soul-entry concept as an alternative to the Sidereal approach of Vedic Astrology.  Understanding of stellar energies relates to a much wider space-time perspective for an emerging deeper ‘science of consciousness.’ 

This synthesis is the final career statement of an independent scholar, astrology researcher and practitioner, having studied philosophy, modern psychology and both traditional and modern astrology in depth, now reporting solutions for a number of needed revisionsfor the inevitable convergence of astrology and psychology, as a new hybrid analytical compendium called Astro-Meta-Psychology (AMP), set in the context of breakthroughs in quantum physics, particularly informed by the Unified Physics of Nassim Haramein.

This richly supported presentation is suitable for astrological adepts as well as a more sophisticated general audience in a time of increasing interest in the subject via the Internet, one requiring a more advanced scientific approach for coherence with greater intellectual and cultural uplift.

I spent several months over the past winter (’24-25) doing additions, rewrites and some reorganization to my forthcoming book Revisioning Astrology, what will hopefully become my most ambitious statement of the need for an update and general rehab for the ancient astrology enterprise … within the context of the enormous amount of new material gotten from our Exotic Visitors (ETs, wisdom masters and celestial guests) about astrology, esoteric studies and the “philosophy of science of the spirit” generally.

It was a fair amount of work for what has seemed nonetheless like a valuable effort to try to pull it all together in the best way I could finally manage. July Loar, as companion, final proofreader, highly experienced astrologer and general confidant, has found many parts of the MS to be sufficiently well done and even impressive in order to finally be finished. I say it’s my “Hamlet’s Mill” book of almost 500 pages, which demands a lot of any prospective reader (let’s hope there are enough of them and it’s not my “Finnegan’s Wake”).

We are currently undergoing one of—if not the—most extreme revolutionary period(s) that I have ever witnessed in my lifetime (age 81) during this now second Trump era which picks up the Pluto Return of the U.S.A. chart where the first one left off before the Biden detour … and after the Bush-Cheney debacle on the political weirdness front before that. The only other comparable period was the infamous Sixties, when the Pluto-Uranus conjunction occurred during the Viet Nam War (with Saturn on the side). We are obviously in for a huge amount of fear, uncertainty and doubt (and maybe relief?), whatever our beliefs, attitudes or ideas may be going forward.

There is also a truly fundamental revolution of scientific paradigms afoot in the world of institutions and careers as a kind of major second ‘wave’ (!) of breakthroughs in quantum science, which is reverberating around the globe as Big Science, caught in various webs of political snares and intrigues, is being forced to re-assess the nature of consciousness and what the potential science to emerge thereof may be (“climate change,” too!). We are talking Quantum Cosmology here, the next phase of a major shift in the search for a Grand Unification or integration of the very large with the very small, being stealithy led by Nassim Haramein, who is highlighted in final chapters in the book.

But hey, this is the Exo-Planet Era and astrology should not be left behind in the dust of its many stages and transforms to finally reach the level of scientific rigor (not to demean any of the cultural richness always left in its wake) in the inimical Age of Aquarius—already famous for rationality and … science … if also somewhat oddly arrayed against various status quos and sacred cows that do need to come into the barn for some R&R: refreshment and refurbishment.

If you have any interest in the subject, either pro or con, you might want to have a look at Revisioning Astrology when it appears in another month or so (with the gods and goddesses willing!). It will be through Amazon as all my recent paperbacks and ebooks have gone out in recent times. As always—but especially for this book—I think the color version will be the needed choice (if I even get a B&W version done) because all the many astrology charts in the book, with their color-coded aspect lines, need the color key to be comprehensible. Reading astrology charts is a little like reading mathematics or music—the symbolism is very compressed and requires study to understand what has been cast forth, here explicitly in color (and possibly already scaled too small for a 6×9 book, but we’ll see …).

So, hip, hip … chin, chin … get ready for a book that may take a while to read, but will give you a lot to think about … if you are ready for it.  May we offer blessings in any event and very best wishes for ‘life in blast lane’ for us all,

Revisioning Astrology:

A New Look at an Old Squeaky Wheel

By Ted Denmark

After the usual longish set of a few new ideas, flashbacks, and rewrites, the final stage of preparation for this new book has finally arrived: getting the covers done for a dual ebook and color paperback publication. This one has taken a couple of decades from start to finish with plenty of twists and turns to reach completion, at least for as much as I intend to package up for the present sense of a project ready for sharing.

It’s a fairly ‘far out’ book, as I usually say, since it’s about astrology as the “foreground focus” and Astro-Meta-Psychology as the “background focus.” The astrology part is rife with astrology concepts and vocabulary, making it most suitable for intermediate students of the starry art—but also possibly valuable for anyone seriously interested in becoming one. The psychology part is an attempt to make the esoteric psychology background of ‘wisdom teaching’ orientation available as the natural context for understanding the astrology initiative thus being offered (new ‘Power Ray’ house system, planets, sign rulers, take on Precession, gender issues, etc.).

The third supportive subject area is that of Nassim Haramein’s new paradigm physics called ‘Unified Physics’, which has been such an exciting breakthrough as a ‘grand unification theory’ at the fundamental levels for all contemporary scientific investigations, particularly for those concerned with formulating a new ‘science of consciousness.’

The featured presentation for the astrology section is first the idea of a new kind of ‘soul entry time’ astrology chart to complement the traditional ‘first breath time’ chart as an update on the ‘esoteric astrology’ of Alice A. Bailey and the main initial inspiration for the book itself, that of the ‘astrologer’s astrologer,’ Hilarion and his dear companion Athena. Secondly, there is a summation of the research done on two new bodies in (and near) our solar system, called here Athena and Astraea. The former is seen as the real “Planet 9” being searched for in the local space around our inner solar system, and the latter is the brown dwarf proto-star in the near vicinity of our solar system, which, together with Athena, is responsible for the gravitational coupling that results in the Precession of the Equinoxes,” a really important phenomenon for both scientific as well as astrological/ psychological and historical/ cultural understanding.

The psychology part is a fairly modest presentation for what should be a far more expanded subject area but is offered as a preliminary context or version of the ‘perennial philosophy’ or ‘wisdom teaching tradition’ in which the astrology can be placed. Of course, there are many schools and traditions.

The Haramein Unified Physics is a particularly striking “paradigm shift” (or spin as I call it) that is also reaching its culmination as a brilliant new take of the world (universe) of fundamental physics. An attempt is made to interpret this new Quantum-Astrophysics as a way of understanding the true fundamentals of astrology as a “science of the spirit’ along the way.

It’s a fairly demanding big book that attempts to pull together advanced materials on the cultural forefront of the current era (spiritual astrology, Astro-Meta-Psychology, New Age of Aquarius, UFO/ET Disclosure, my role as a Pleiadian hybrid contactee) … and much more. Much of it is believed to be unique new material that is quite original in concept and thus challenging—but also quite satisfying–to consider for anyone on the cultural cutting edge at the quarter mark of Century 21.

This is a new menu category that may be of interest to anyone not familiar with or interested in investigating the longer book-length works that are excerpted or summarized on other menu tabs here. This first ‘UFO/AP report’ called “Cloud Climber Overhead” was very exciting for me since it was the same Pleiadian starship I photographed over Telluride, CO a couple of years ago at much greater distance than this first *daytime overflight* of my house (!) by an obvious spacecraft. The full report will be in the J&T TC 153 if it ever gets transcripted and published. I hope to go back and find some of the other sightings and photos of other notable UFO/AP encounters–the slight humor here is that our sightings are not really “unidentified” because we can always ask our “exotic visitor” contactee friends in conference who or what it was we saw (!). Sometimes it’s a surprise and sometimes it’s them (like in Cloud Climber Overhead) with a little surprise of their own.

An unusual UAP Report Confirmed

by Ted Denmark

*             *            *

It was during the hot part of an afternoon the first week in October, 2024, the hottest year on record in many places, and the only year I can remember when it was still in the mid-nineties after the Fall Equinox here in the Central Sierra … when a rather unusual event occurred. I was downstairs poking around the refrigerator for another glass of iced tea as I began to hear a ruckus outside caused by the local pair of ravens flying around the house, coming close to the windows; this had never really happened before. I stopped and wondered what was going on—they usually fly high and away when they have to go past the house from their nesting area at least a hundred yards to the north.

So, I went outside, and there they were, looking a bit frantic and coursing erratically in spirals just above the house. This naturally caused me to momentarily squint and look up to see if they were being pursued by the golden eagles who claim sky sovereignty in the area, something that also had not happened for some time. It was strange enough, but then I happened to notice something else up in the sky towards the northwest It was moving very fast, like a military jet, I thought, since such flights headed east from the coast are seen from time to time. But whatever this was had no vapor trail and didn’t seem very high; so, I waited and stared for another few seconds, thinking I would hear the shock wave of the jet exhaust momentarily as it continued to track rapidly across the sky from west to east on a slight diagonal towards the house.

I waited and listened intently, continuing to stare at what I was witnessing, trying to evaluate what I was clearly seeing as it appeared to get closer and possibly slightly lower in its trajectory. It was very unusual looking, first because I could not detect any features—like wings or tail empennage of any kind—which can sometimes be seen even on the high-flying military jets as they go by, spraying their ‘chem-trails.” But there would no time to get binoculars. It was merely a whitish-looking oval shape with a very bright spot towards the top left, appearing like a reflection from the Sun. I stared and wondered, still awaiting the expected sonic report, but it did not come.

I was beginning to wonder what to do since this object was moving fast and would soon be obscured by the upper story of the house from my position on the first-floor south side deck. Then the local family of four or five golden eagles (I didn’t take time to look for them all and count) suddenly appeared from over the ridge to the west and began flying around in an exaggerated way as a distraction as I continued to stare intently at the moving bogey. I felt fairly sure it could not be a military jet, because I now began to perceive a kind off faint aura around it that made it look like it was glowing. Still no sound, getting closer to the edge of the roof.

I panicked a bit as I tried to decide whether I should run under the deck to the other side of the house to be able to continue following it because it would be gone in only a few more seconds from the viewpoint where I was standing. I feared it would be gone by the time I got over past the parked trucks and out in the driveway clearing, so I finally stayed put and took one last careful look. It did appear oval-shaped and the bright spot was emanating from a solar reflection towards the top rear as would be expected from its position and the aura did appear to be more enhanced as it reached its closest location that I would probably get to see.

It’s hard to estimate how high it was or how far away since its size was unknown and was generally so featureless, but it had a very unusual look of a kind I had never seen before, even though I had seen a number of very unusual … what would now be called UAPs … in the sky over the course of my lifetime. It was probably at least a couple thousand feet in elevation and as much as a mile away. This phenomenon had an almost ‘heavenly’ look, like it was cocooned in its own little cloud moving along with it. Several of the other UFOs I had seen in earlier times were like glowing reddish patches in the sky, moving together in triangular formation—or holographic white eagle images in the sky that turned into actual flying saucers. So, the eagles were a kind of momentary flashback to those (two) times, but the big birds were only part of the background today.

It suddenly dawned on me that the only thing I had ever seen like this appeared in a photograph I took a few years ago of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains while traveling near Telluride, Colorado, and though I didn’t notice it at the time, this turned out to be a faint but distinct UFO that was later identified in our J&T Telepresence Conference dialogues as the Pleiadian starship called Cloud Climber. It was a discoid spacecraft that we had dramatically visited before in one of my wife Julie’s telepathic sessions that we have pioneered and written about extensively, which ship was also crewed by two of our very special contactee friends, Rhi and Phindar, whom we have known for almost fifteen years. We had been told the Cloud Climber is a mid-sized Pleiadian starship of about a hundred feet in diameter, which operates with a regular crew of about a dozen people. Julie had seen the Cloud Climber once before several years ago too, but then also only briefly.

Of course, these are extraordinary claims for anyone to be making in a ‘UAP experiencer’s’ report. For most sightings by individuals, what usually transpires is a very brief encounter or flash of light or something similar—if not more like imagination or ‘remote viewing’ rather than as an actual physical presence. However, today’s circumstance lasted long enough and seemed undeniably physical, certainly to me, if not necessarily to anyone else who might have been a casual witness. But this situation has come to mean even more now in the follow-up period than at the time of sighting since I do have the good fortune as an ongoing contactee along with my wife Julie—also a contactee—to be able to make inquiry via her psychic abilities with our group of “exotic visitors” to find out what this unusual sighting really was. Through our unusual situation, to put it mildly, they do have the advanced technologies to check back on our situation and analyze such unusual circumstances like this. And yes, it was actually them flying over my house during daytime, dropping their invisibility cloaking briefly for the first time. This was revealed in our next ‘Telepresence Conference 135’ held the same week, as Julie said, “They (Rhi and Phindar) smiled broadly and offered a salute …” which she thought was very amusing. Amusing, indeed!

As I have since reflected on these events of the week, having now had another very enticing and revealing physical experience with them, even if at some distance, when so many of my and our contact experiences with them have seemingly bordered on the imaginary or paranormal—or being given through “psychic channel” Julie’s extraordinary telepathic ability—notwithstanding the unusual and often charming experiences with our local birds, which our “exotic visitors” often use as intermediaries (they are still not allowed by their rules of engagement to make direct physical contact or communication with us).

But this was a very real confirmation of our amazing long-term and still ongoing contactee experiment, from the time they rousted me out of the house with the Ravens, which was yet another part of this small sideshow to uniquely confirm their physical existence to me from out of the blue … up to the time they were so greatly amused to show us it was indeed them (!) who came calling … because they happened to be in the area checking on some of the latest military developments in this region of California.

A New Look at an Old Squeaky Wheel

Soul-Entry Life-Purpose Astro-Meta-Psychology for a

Dualistic Creature of Two Minds from Earth to the Stars

by Ted Denmark Ph.D.

Abstract & Executive Summary

*    *    *    *

This exploration, seen as a need for “revisioning” and then revising or updating certain techniques and interpretations of Western natal astrology and adding several other major new areas of interest in this ‘exo-planet era,’ features a new astrological timing concept called “Soul-Entry Time” (SET), based on the revelation that the incarnating soul of the “native,” the person born at a particular time and place, determines its own imprint time of commitment to the anticipated forthcoming physical life experience independently but in relation to the traditional first-breath time. This usually occurs within the half-day preceding or following the recorded first-breath moment.

The idea was originally presented to the author by a channel source entity called Hilarion (the modest ‘Master of the 5^th Ray’ in earlier Theosophical wisdom teaching traditions), made familiar to him by Northern California channel Jon C. Fox a few decades back and now with continuing hosting with seer and telepathic dialog intermediary Julie Loar (wife of the author). Hilarion and consort Athena, along with numerous “exotic visitors” (ETs) as guests, suggested the initial framework for investigation and subsequent confirmation of much of the content. The famously abstruse Esoteric Astrology of Alice A. Bailey (Volume 3 of the *Treatise on the Seven Rays*) is also cited as inspiration (with guest D.K.) for additional perspectives on this wide-ranging update of fundamentals and goods available in the expanding astrology department store.

After researching the charts of a group of fifty people using techniques presented over a period of more than forty years, highly-encouraging results are presented for a strategy using Soul-Entry Time charts in parallel with their paired First-Breath charts, extending the approach of modern mainstream astrology to a two-chart style of analysis using ‘life-purpose’ oriented soul-entry astrology as the basis for a new hybrid analytical compendium being called Astro-Meta-Psychology (AMP).

An interpreted context of brain-mind neurological research is offered as a rationale for understanding why the dualistic human mentality in horizontal and vertical dimensions as well as front-to-back and side-to-side, would naturally be best characterized by a corresponding pair of astrology charts based on the two fundamental timing moments of initialization at the time of birth, rather than only the traditional first-breath chart. This then becomes the spiritual adjunct—the “missing half” of traditional astrology. A small sample group of ten biographies with chart graphics and interpretations, including those of the author, his mother and several friends, is offered in conclusion as evidence to anchor and clarify the presentation.

This new approach is related to several other issues in existing standard astrology practice, including advocacy for a new House System called “Power Ray Houses” (a new Porphyry House System variant, featuring a major logical re-interpretation of the placement of house cusps relative to the Ascendant-Midheaven axis, perhaps most satisfying to anyone aware of the ‘Gauquelin enigma’), a new planetary ruler for Virgo (Ceres), the debris of the Asteroid Belt as the remains of an ancient destroyed planet (Malona, Phaeton, etc.) and the discovery of Astraea, a nearby brown dwarf star that is gyrationally and gravitationally coupled to our main Solar System, a previously unknown and unaccounted for additional modulation of the always important and somewhat mysterious Precession of the Equinoxes (!).

Astraea, this unignited gas giant about eight times the mass of Jupiter, is an additional major factor for more accurately determining the precessional cycle, along with another new massive entrained Planet in the outer solar system (candidate for “Planet 9”) here being called Athena, which then becomes another lens through which our solar system is seen as intimately linked to the stars, particularly in the direction of Sirius, Aldebaran and the Pleiades.

As part of further investigations of Planet Athena^[1] with psychic Julie Loar, it was revealed that it made its closest approach to the main solar system in December of 2011, thus (nearly) coinciding with the famous target date of the Mayan Calendar. The hunt for the celestial event correlated with the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is thus set to this date on December 21, 2011. From this a synchronization of the precession cycle, and the Hindu Yuga cycle is shown with the middle of the Kali Yuga calibrated to the year 1,000 BC, also near the middle of the Age of Aries.

This Soul-Entry timing concept is initially compared with strategies of chart rectification as well as Astro*Cartography, but using the “real” soul-selected time shift rather than a mapped-out series of time or locational shifts that typically moves luminaries and planets to cardinal positions as shown by this once-popular adjunct ‘relocation technique.’ The circumstances and expectations of providing services as an astrologer or practitioner of this modern astrology-based Astro-Meta-Psychology, is advocated and presented in some depth for anyone wishing to experiment with their own new soul-entry astrology chart profile.

It is acknowledged that the way of discovering the actual soul-entry time for a nativity involves using intuitive or psychic means such as hypnosis, or kinesthetic techniques such as dowsing or muscle testing. The author provides a short tutorial on pendulum dowsing as the most accessible way of finding one’s soul-entry time but also offers collaboration to obtain soul-entry times for interested professional astrologers or advanced students who would wish to test the idea for themselves or check their findings if they have worked through the suggested dowsing techniques.

Thus, the knowledge of an individual’s soul-entry time is seen as private, privileged information, known to the para-conscious mind of the individual, which only becomes available for use through a spiritual releasing power of higher mind—rather than mere demographic data as in the case for ordinary first-breath timed astrology. It is suggested that this is probably the most important new astrological techniques to be delineated and advocated at the beginning of the New Age of Aquarius.

Perhaps the most ambitious revisioning concept presented is that of the major stepping-stone of integrating the study and meaning of stellar energies into the typical planetary emphasis of the western Tropical Zodiac via the soul-entry concept as an alternative to the Sidereal approach of Vedic Astrology. Use of the Hilarion book Starlight Elixirs (Smulkis & Rubenfeld, 1992, now sadly out of print) is used as the primary reference text. This amazing underground classic, but still little-known ‘Star Bible,’ supplies the main approach advocated for understanding stellar energies in this now more sophisticated era of instrumented ‘exoplanet exploration,’ which relates to the appropriateness of a much wider space-time perspective generally.

This new synthesis is the final career statement of an independent scholar and practitioner, having studied philosophy, modern psychology and traditional astrology in depth, who is now reporting a number of insights and conclusions leading to needed revisions for the inevitable convergence of astrology and psychology for a genuine science of the spirit at the level of human consciousness, modified by a number of metaphysical and modern psychological concepts of the soul, going far beyond familiar earlier notions in religious or ‘perennial philosophy’ takes on human nature.

Also of some passing interest in this book primarily dedicated to refining astrology, the author makes abundant use of psychic guidance through a waking trance channel or telepathic source (Julie Loar) for a number of the fundamental insights and new horizons, both self-identifying as Pleiadian hybrids (with Earthuman mothers and Pleiadian fathers) for whom becoming astrologers on Earth would be seen as quite natural stellar vocations for them (or sub-vocations in the multi-disciplinary vocational regime expected of Pleiadian hybrids collaborators being given full at-will collaboration and guidance).

The presentation is particularly informed by discoveries related to ‘non-locality’ (and far beyond) in the fundamental scientific ‘paradigm spin’ of the revolutionary Unified Physics (‘Quantum-Astrophysics’) of the brilliant but modest Nassim Haramein—now finally in publication—the delivery of what will likely become known as the greatest breakthrough in physics and scientific endeavor relating to advancing science and human culture since Einstein or perhaps Newton.

So, the inspiration here is for a more responsive ‘Unified Human Psychology’ that includes analysis informed by a more modern ‘spiritual science of consciousness’ based on a more refined and updated astrology to go along with it. It is my hope that it is a compilation suitable for astrological adepts and/or enthusiasts as well as a possibly more sophisticated general audience—and it may be a bit more demanding for either than anticipated—but we are in a major breakthrough era that requires greater strides be taken on everyone’s part for a new approach to intellectual and cultural uplift and unification than ever before—but particularly for those on the cutting edge of advancement.
