CHANNELING THE GHOST OF FORMER BEATLE, GEORGE HARRISON.

I get in trouble because I’m a realist. When I hear wacky stuff, like the sky is falling next Tuesday, I’m amused.  Some people are insulted because usually, I make no attempt to hide my feelings. But when full-blown nonsense comes across my desk, I laugh, (sometimes in the face of the dead serious person giving me the “inside dope).”

I don't EVER want to be the guy getting snickered at.  That’s the main reason why my blogs avoid religion, politics and wild opinions. Deep down, I don’t want to write anything so stupid that my readership wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

First and most importantly, I realize that being “out there” and being controversial can be profitable. That means that a lot of people don’t mind coming off as idiots because they’re purposely prostituting themselves in the name of the all-mighty dollar. Obviously I don’t condone such behavior but understand why many clever people (out of desperation or the need for fame or fortune), prey on the less-than-clever.

On many occasions I have mentioned that on way home from work, I listen to the, “COAST TO COAST,” late night radio program. I like it best when they have mainstream authors or scientists on. But I’m also entertained by self-proclaimed geniuses with a gimmick who theorize about debatable but improvable concepts, (buildings on the Moon and Mars, chemtrails, time travel etc).
CHEMTRAIL CONSPIRACY THEORISTS BELIEVE THAT THE CONTRAILS, (CONDENSATION STREAKS LEFT BY HIGH FLYING JET AIRCRAFT) ARE REALLY HARMFUL, LONG-LASTING BIOLOGICAL AGENTS DELIBERATELY SPRAYED INTO THE AIR FOR SINISTER PURPOSES BY UNDISCLOSED, POWER-HUNGRY ORGANIZATIONS.

Just scan the cable-TV listings and you'll see an abundance of shows on a broad range of stations that cater to cosmic fantasies.  A popular show like, "ANCIENT ALIENS," proves NOTHING except there's tons of money in the outrageous because millions of gullible people seek age-old solutions to questions that have no firm answers.
"ANCIENT ALIENS," (CURRENTLY IN ITS SIXTH SEASON AND 73 EPISODES) IS DEDICATED TO THE PREMISE THAT DOWN THROUGH THE EONS, EARTH HAS BEEN VISTED (FOR MALEVOLENT AND/OR BENEVOLENT REASONS) BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS WHO HAVE BESTOWED MANKIND WITH ARCHITECTURE, CULTURE AND EDUCATION.  EACH SHOW OFFERS A DIFFERENT HYPOTHESIS TO EXPLAIN HOW THESE INTERACTIONS PRODUCE UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA THAT WE SEE TODAY. TO ME, ITS JUST BIG MONEY BULLSHIT AND THE CRITICS AGREE.  DESPITE A HUGE AUDIENCE, THE SHOW IS SLAMMED FOR PRESENTING PSEUDO SCIENCE AND PSEUDO HISTORY.

Sometimes during my twenty-minute exposure to Coast to Coast," I wish I had a tin foil space hat to wear to complete the mood...especially when some gonif pontificates about their "Remote Viewing" experiences.
"REMOTE VIEWING" (RV), IS A SO-CALLED ABILITY TO PERCEIVE A REMOTE OR HIDDEN TARGET WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF ONE'S SENSES.  WHICH MEANS SOME KNUCKLEHEAD MAKES-UP A BUNCH OF CRAP AND SELLS IT AND THE TECHNIQUE OF DOING IT FOR BIG BUCKS.  A REMOTE VIEWER, COULD SEE I WAS TYPING THIS IN MY RED DOCTOR DENTON PAJAMAS, (REAR FLAP OPEN).  IT'S PRETTY WARM TODAY BUT NOT QUITE AIR-CONDITIONER WEATHER...BUT BECAUSE YOU POSSESS (RV), YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT.

My antennas also get aroused when people write books about how the giant stone slabs of Stonehenge were mystically levitated into place or how Big Foot can make himself invisible to avoid capture (and uses a custodian? like a subserviant animal to bury corpses, clean his never-seen refuse or unique fur).

Last week, "COAST COAST" hit an all-time low.  A gentleman came on to hawk his new book, "CHANNELING HARRISON."  Apparently, the author David Young (a musician, song writer), dated an ex of deceased Beatle, George Harrison.  During his short romance, he wrote an unusualy high amount of new material.  Young then wrote a book describing his relationship, ultimate break-up and how he hit a snag on finding the right music for one particular piece, to go with his perfect lyrics  Until the ghost of George Harrison, guitar in hand, showed up.
IF THE STORY WASN'T INCREDIBLE ENOUGH, THE TITLE, "CHANNELING HARRISON," IS WORSE.  THIS ARTIFICIAL ATTEMPT TO CAPITALIZE ON THE NAME OF MYSTICIST, EDGAR "THE SLEEPING PROPHET" CAYCE IS LAUGHABLE.  CAYCE 1877-1945 WAS THE GRANDDADDY OF CONTEMPORARY CLAIRVOYANTS.  ALLEGEDLY, WHILE IN A HYPNOTIC TRANCE, HE ANSWERED VARYING QUESTIONS ABOUT HEALING, REINCARNATION, WARS, THE LOST CONTINENT OF ATLANTIS, FUTURE EVENTS AND MORE.


The following is an excerpt from the "CHANNELING HARRISON," book jacket.

This book is a true account of the ongoing and mind-blowing experiences between David Young, a multi-talented musician/producer/ artist, and former Beatle George Harrison. What David Young, who plays two flutes at one time and has sold over a million CDs, has documented is verifiable, real, and astounding. Every time he questioned his direction, he was (is) guided by one of the most loved, respected, and spiritual musicians of all time. The story abounds with seemingly impossible synchronicities, lined up one after the other in perfect time, all of them helping him to rise above his life’s challenges, and not only evolve as a musician, but as a spiritual being as well.

George entered David’s life during a time of devastating heartbreak. This intervention was just the beginning of over forty incredible experiences. George’s musical genius began to channel through David’s own music. After recording forty instrumental CDs, David spontaneously wrote and recorded twenty-five vocal songs in thirty days!—songs with depth and rich production values like the Beatles, in a rock-with-soul style he had never done before. What is George trying to communicate, and why has he chosen David? This incredible story proves there is life after death or better yet, life after life.

The trouble with being a realist, is that I come off like a hopeless cynic.  I really would like to think that there are goat-sucking animals running around Puerto Rico, the mother UFO ship is coming in September to serve man or that our government wants to implant a computer chip into all of us to know our every move...but I can't.  So I'll never be a believer unless I can see something concrete for myself.  Until then, I'll listen to Coast to Coast and see how to movers and the shakers intend to bilk the naive.

You and I were in the same place at the same time circa 1961 when the ghost of Gallileo or maybe it was Einstein visited us. Actually I think we were playing tackle football on my lawn. Our heads knocked together and we obtained some life-long lasting common sense.

I recall a Johnny Carson episode about 25 years ago. He had Carl Sagan on along with an expert on creationism. Sagan had a tough time arguing with the nut. Reason and logic didn't cut it. I often tell the young people in my office - who have to argue things all of the time as part of their jobs - that "you can't convince someone of anything if they think the world is flat."

All of this would be amusing if it wasn't for the fact that subtle and evil forms of this sort can be, and have been dangerous to civilization's progress.

I think it's kind of hilarious that you are in Dee Nile of the aftermath of a certain poker game oh-so-many years ago. Understand that the three of us saw.. something. You may forget, (or simply refuse to believe) that you punched the gas pedal after "the thing in the headlights" magically rolled up like a venetian blind and shot skyward.. Not knowing what something is doesn't give us a hall pass to discount the validation that.. IT WAS THERE. Sigh.. "It ain't just a rivaah" -P.

Ha! the poker game denial! He also thinks we didn't play on the same offensive line on the JV! Me thinks Stev(ie)'s memory was abducted by aliens from a popcorn fart in the stands at a Mets game.

And who cares what your readers think about your politics, religion, etc. ... write whatever you want ... you're not making claims about anything if readers don't agree ... you're stating an opinion, end of story. Usually, quite frankly, the more foolish it sounds, the more validity it probably has. Now this is silly: Go Bills!

I'm there next week (Revel on Mon and Tues) if you want to walk until your feet burn off ... I'm down 60 pounds and the back will holdout, I think.
