You know how, at the end of each Red Ice episode, they announce upcoming guests? Well, the first Red Ice show to announce me at the end was Steven Greer's "Sirius" episode. I thought that was pretty neat, considering my repeated Sirius syncs. Well, it got funnier, as the episode that aired directly before ours was about Syria (which readers of this blog will know is also connected to Sirius).
This week I had the honor of being on a show hosted by Anthony Peake. I admire Anthony's work and the approach he takes to it very much, so this was a real pleasure for me. I hope you enjoy it!

Anthony is also one of the authors in Sync Book Vol. 2 (Amazon.com)

I went into a longer version of the 317/Sirius contact story with Mike Clelland, which you can listen to here.

This week I was the guest on two radio shows that present similar topics from two wildly different perspectives. James Corbett of the Corbett Report, who broadcasts out of Japan, is a serious man. Vinny Eastwood is a radio host from New Zealand and his approach is to lighten things up with a healthy dash of comedy. Transitioning between the two shows was a little jarring for me, but a healthy embodiment of the balancing act I always talk about. These were also the first two video interviews I have done, which adds an interesting element for the interviewee. Funny thing is that I didn't know Vinny's show was on video so I came a bit under-dressed, but you get to see me in my natural habitat. :)
From Tuesday night:
The world is both physical and metaphysical, not one or the other, you can either move a chair in 2 seconds or study to be a telekinetic monk for 60 years and then move the chair. We must take some responsibility and be aware that meaningful coincidences in life are extremely important to how we interact with other people and the world itself. A revealing and insightful interview on the nature of psychedelics and intellectual evolution.
Or watch the video if you really want to look at my mug for an hour and a half:
Bonus sync: I mention a comic book that I worked on with fellow-NewYorker Rammer Martinez Sanchez, right up to 9/11, when the work took a backseat to the real-life craziness around us. Here's a page Rammer drew in 1999 or 2000 that shows all of NYC and the surrounding area turned into a giant crater:
This sync should have been mentioned in my SyncBook Vol.1 chapter, alongside the other strange 9/11 precursors in my artwork leading up to 9/11, but I had actually forgotten about it. I only found this image a day or two before being contacted by Vinny Eastwood to do his show. The even crazier thing is that the story this image is from tells that only three people in all of New York survived. One of these men was named Vinny Eastman! That character was also a representation of extremes of comedy and tragedy, just like Vinny Eastwood's "lighter side of genocide" approach. . . The syncs are SO specific, that it's just F-ing insanity.
----
Then, on Wednesday, I was on James Corbett's Corbett Report. This was the first interview in a long time that I was really nervous about. I think that shows in the first few segments, where I'm a little hesitant to assert my position. However, after a silly live call-in I decided to take back that personal power and lay out my information to a place that is not so easy to challenge. In the last twenty minutes I lay out some of the mind-blowing information I have on the Osama bin Laden "killing." I think the shock on James Corbett's face at the end says it all. If a man like him can be flustered by the data, I don't feel so bad about my being so.
Tonight we talk to author and researcher Alan Abbadessa-Green, editor of The Sync Book, about the study of synchronicity in politics and world events. We discuss “the killing of the king” meme as it pertains to the deaths of Lincoln, JFK and Osama Bin Laden.
I've just reworked and updated the layout and archiving for Sync Book Radio. I can't believe how quickly this turned into something so big and so fantastic. These projects, like so many I get involved in, have snowballed beyond my original vision--they're more time consuming to produce than I first assumed but also of such a better quality than I expected either.
There are two show each week: 42 Minutes every Tuesday and Always Record every Thursday.
42 Minutes is hosted by Will Morgan (A Few Shots to Shaman) and Douglas Bolles (Winter's Labyrinth). The show has been going strong for almost exactly one full year. In that time, there have been amazing conversations and great guests:

Then we started Always Record back in May when Bill Klaus (iahuasca) proposed the idea of recording some roundtable conversations. David Plate (MKUltrasound) joined us and the three of us started having a conversation each week. Even as I struggle to find the time to do it, this has turned into a wonderful ritual that I look forward to all week long.
At some point we started having other people join us, each adding their unique take. So far we've had the pleasure of talking to:
Freeman of FreemanTV
Project Psycube (Violator Hellspawn, Frank Zero, and Trevor Tocco)
Douglas Bolles
Jason Barrera (Eleleth)
Justin Morgan
Maya Alexis
Andras Jones
Will Morgan
Tommy Fulks
John Fell Ryan
Mark LeClair (Wrong Way Wizard)
We put a ton of work into this, but it's so worth it. I think you'll enjoy listening as much as we enjoy doing these. Please dig into the archives:
I've been trying to keep an archive of the shows I'm on and things like that, but it was getting a little unwieldy. So, I've had a little side project going on the back burner to make an archive that's more user friendly. After all these shows this week, I figured it was time to turn up the heat before it gets even harder to keep up with. It's now ready, and anyone interested in such an archive can hop on over to: http://audiocreatures.blogspot.com/
I guess I should explain that roundtable a second. Recently, Bill Klaus asked me if I would be interested in helping to create a new audio series that was more conversation based, instead of the classic interview style that so many podcasts and radio shows use. Since he and I had both had conversations with David Plate that were so good that we wished we had recorded them, we're tentatively calling this thing "Always Record."
The talking is loose and unpretentious. Though there is a lot of Kubrick, the topics are varied. And, ultimately, I think many of you will find this enjoyable. Click here to enter: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/120495
There were other conversations this week that were not recorded...
I spoke to Michael from Gosporn and every time I speak to him I have that same "man, I wish I recorded this" impulse. He told me about connections he made between Watchmen and the second volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that were super solid. As everything has lately, it found a way of coming back to Kubrick. I wonder why Kubrick is surging so strongly in the sync community right now?
There's another ongoing conversation that I am reluctant to write about publicly. Suffice to say, there's some drama between two players in the sync community and I was kinda called in to moderate, but I found a lot of it disappointing and immature. There is a silver lining however. While I've never been a big 2012 guy, it is in these conversations, where people can't help but project their shadows and refuse to take responsibility, that I see part of the value of 2012 as a concept. With a quasi-deadline in the conversation, you get a sense of what is really important to those people who see it as an important date--particularly when there's conflict in the mix. All I know is that I'm getting more and more cautious of the many gurus preaching a 2012 shift who aren't willing to do some of the hard work here on the ground.
As a guy who is doing so much talking lately, I understand that talk is cheap. I don't want your words, I want your action. And all of us, no matter who we think we are, we have some serious work to do.
Last night I was the guest on The Middle Chamber, a radio show hosted by FraterX, "a member of nine different Esoteric Orders including the Knights Templar, Knight Masons, Rosicrucians, and Ancient Order of Druids."
There was a nice synchronicity here as well, in that I was speaking to fellow Sync Book author Andras Jones from Radio8Ball just before I went on air with FraterX. We needed to lay out a few final details of Tuesday's SyncBook event here in NYC, and I had to cut the call short since Middle Chamber was starting. So, Frater and I decided to bring Andras on in the second hour.
Will Morgan, one of the two regular hosts of 42 Minutes, asked me to fill in for him on a few shows over the last few weeks. I've really enjoyed this show every week and the direction Doug and Will have gone with it, so I was happy to help out. Aside from the pleasure of assisting in a project I care about, this opportunity also allowed me to speak with fellow Sync Book authors Neil Kramer and Stefan Jablonski.
In the episode with Neil Kramer we talk about the Titanic sailing again and question whether it will make it this time. This was of course meant as a metafore ... however, the news of the Costa Concordia (concordance?) broke within a few days and is being compared to the sinking of the Titanic. Make of that what you will.
. . .
Adding to the sense of community that this show has been fostering, there is even the unspoken evolution of the logo. A bunch of us have been playing with the visual, tweeking it and altering it, without ever really talking about it.
Here's the image he uses as his Skype icon, so it was what I was looking at during our whole conversation:
I couldn't tell if I was gazing into the dark abyss or witnessing the flowering of creation. ...But, if I've learned anything this year, it's that those are two sides of the same coin -- And, that I am striving to find balance, "living on the edge" as it were, rather than getting caught up in dualistic thinking.
Thanks to everyone who helped or supported Happy Creatures and The Sync Book this year. Here's to a happy and healthy 2012.
Huge thanks to Mike Clelland for having me on his hidden experience podcast. This one was important for me, personally. While a lot of the shows I have been doing lately (click here for a fairly comprehensive list) have been introducing new listeners into the topics of synchronicity, Mike and his listeners are well-versed in high strangeness. This allowed us to jump into a lot of the goodies early on, get into deeper ends of the data pool, and allowed me to talk more openly about my personal experiences...specifically the ones that require a good listener that won't judge or make you feel silly.
Having listend to a bunch of his shows in the past, I knew that Mike was that guy. Together we explored the 2001 connection to the Gabby Giffords shooting, as well as the Egyptian themes, and I got to ask, "what the hell is that thing flying around in my photo from the 12/21/2010 eclipse?"
Let us remember that the eclipse itself peaked at 3:17am here in nyc. Many Happy Creatures readers will know that 3/17 is the date of Osiris' death (the original KingKill) and always seems to be a portent of oddities worth exploring.
We also discussed my experience from March 2010 -which I experienced as a week long "contact"- and which culminated in a very direct way on 3/17/2010.
In hour 2 of our conversation, Thomas and I cover a slew of topics. We cover some details on what the process of sync study is, talk about WebBot vs Goro Adachi vs all the rest when it comes to future prediction, and a ton more. The final chunk delves into our April 28th KingKill post and the many posts that continued with the KingKill theme.
This week I had the pleasure of talking to Thomas Malone from Grok-the-Talk, a wonderful podcast from Japan. We hit on a number of topics related to The Sync Book and our studies here at All The Happy Creatures. Some of the threads discussed were the "17" enigma, the Tarot, archetypes and predicting emerging patterns, Charlie Sheen, the nature of reality, and the Osama/Obama KingKill. I really enjoyed this one and highly recommend everyone check it out.
We are planning to dive into the KingKill a bit deeper in Hour 2 as well as why I have included the phrase "Jack and JLL" into that pattern. Thomas regularly does shows on Gnostic practice with John Lamb Lash and he told me that he was fascinated by my inclusion of "JLL" into the mix, since that is how he often refers to John. Should be interesting.
Two fellow Sync Book authors, Will and Doug, have been doing a weekly radio show called 42 Minutes. These are great morning chats on synchronicity and the nature of reality and so much more. The show is short (42 minutes, as the name implies) and, because of that, sort of goes rapid-fire.
In their last few episodes they have been breaking down chapters from the Sync Book and discussing the topics those chapters address. I'm so glad they are doing this because, if we've done our job well, the Sync Book should be a launching point for these types of conversations on a larger scale.
This week I joined them as they picked up where they left off from the week prior, talking about schizophrenia and entheogens and holographic reality and on and on.
Enjoy.
+If player does not work or you want to listen on the go,
This was a wild weekend for me. Considering these were the same three days that The Book of The Law was written, I guess that should be expected.
+ I spent friday at the pre-party for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) where I met some amazing artists, including Kenly Dillard who asked me to come up with a random thing for him to draw. I said "a monkey and a dog," thinking of two of the main characters from Look At All The Happy Creatures, but not explaining that in any way. Here's what Kenly drew:
Kenly draws caricatures and portraits, echoing an episode of Sailor Moon that I saw a few days ago. This episode was powerful to me for so many reasons. It questions what makes an artist and portrays the struggle to stay true to oneself. It also delves into mirrors and dreams (which is the theme of the entire SuperS season). These themes resonate so strongly with me these days and I am not alone on this. Michael from Gosporn put up a post recently about the dreaming man in the mirror.
+ On Saturday I attended the MoCCA main event and was surrounded by some of the greatest and most original artwork I have ever seen. Very inspirational. I also had the chance to sell a bunch of copies of Look At All The Happy Creatures and got some really positive feedback. Also very inspirational.
I saw a girl there wearing a shirt with a unicursal hexagram (widely used by Crowley) on it. When I commented on the shirt, she said she made it herself. Shorly after that encounter I got a phonecall from Kevin of Live from The Logosphere, who is very into Crowley.
Later that night, I was the second hour guest on The Church Of Mabus Radio Show, with ufologist Tim Beckley as the first hour guest. This one was a lot of fun. I did the interview outside the MoCCA after-party with drunk people coming up to me throughout. Apparently I can hold drunken men steady, light their cigarettes and chat about the cosmos at the same time.
We spoke about many of the items I came to find waiting for me in the latest post from The Mask of God. So many wild and weightly syncs between my weekend, that interview and that post. Great stuff.
+ On Sunday I spent the day catching up with family which was really nice. Then at night Melissa and I went over to Radio City where I knew Charlie Sheen was wrapping up his New York tour of his "Violent Torpedo of Truth" one-man show. I had one copy of the book left and I thought I should give it to him since I feel his recent adventures echo some specific plot points in my novel. From Chapter 33 of LAATHC:
They had gotten him addicted to the filthiest synthetic pain killers which made his behavior even more erratic. The massive amounts of antibiotics injected into him to keep his wrists from getting infected played havoc on his stomach. He was always nauseous and, when he could keep the disgusting food down, it quickly passed through him in a stream of diarrhea. His body was weak, but wild – his mind even more so....He had to be made to look a fool in the eyes of the public. This was necessary as a way of signaling to the watching world that one would have to be insane in order to oppose The State. Besides, The Network could afford to knock the celebrity of one of their performers, now that they had a genuine super-star on their hands.
Of course, when Charlie exited the theatre he was swarmed by paparazzi and I couldn't get near him. After that I was kicking myself for not chucking the book at his head, since that would have been captured by every camera there and it would have played in an endless viral loop, making my book sales off the charts (or at least, on the charts). Talk about a "violent torpedo of truth." But, I didn't do it. I guess I'm not that much of a whore. Gonna have to go back and watch that Sailor Moon episode again.
Yesterday I was on Dr. Kevin Barrett's radio show. We talked about the book, conspiracy, synchronicity, consciousness, and how we can manifest our own new world order. Click here to listen.
UPDATE:
Another one of the topics discussed was the possibility of an Obama assassination, staged or provoked, and what the fallout from an event like that would mean for the rest of us. So when this news item popped up the other day, it made me do a double-take. "House votes to Kill Obama"
We discussed the symbolism and synchronicity of Squares That Touch, the background of Look At All The Happy Creatures, 2012, psychedelics, the nature of art and reality, the power of individual perspective, and took chatroom questions that focused on conspiracies and solutions.
