Conspirinormal 402- David Metcalfe 4

Conspirinormal Podcast #402

I stumbled across this recent 'Conspirinormal' podcast episode above when I was looking for podcast episodes about Malachi Martin for my last blog-post -

Who Was Malachi Martin?

Art and Analysis from the fluid margins of a shifting world

The 'Conspirinormal' podcast's hosts talked to David Metcalfe about a conference recently put on at Rice University by Jeff Kripal where Jeff played cat herder to a group of authors and "experts" in the field of the weird.

Oddly enough I wrote a post in April this year about giving all of my Jeff Kripal books away to a secondhand bookstore.

The Significance of Spiritual Epiphanies with Jeffrey Kripal?

I've also written posts about David Metcalfe before on my blog, so I was keen to hear this recent podcast about the Rice University get together.

I found it amusing that the podcast was uploaded on Pi Day (March 14th/3/14) and recorded on March 9th, as it reminded me of a post I wrote on March 9th, 2019 about the weirdness of March 14th or Pi Day -

Who Was Malachi Martin?

Hostage to the Devil:
Death & Conspiracy

Reading the late Malachi Martin's "factual" novel 'Windswept House' and having never read any other books written by the controversial ex/Catholic priest, and me not being a Roman Catholic ... or someone who would call themselves a Christian, even though I still am a member of the Liberal Catholic Church.

I wondered just who Malachi Martin was and just how much he wrote and said may be true?

Windswept House: Jacques Deneuve = Klaus Schwab?

Edition 197 - Father Malachi Martin

I wouldn't even call myself a religious person, but I am definitely not an atheist, either. 

I found a few podcast episodes about the late priest centered around the book he wrote called 'Hostage to the Devil' and while I personally don't believe in the devil I don't doubt that there are evil spirits as well as good spirits, but I must say that I'm not really a believer in the majority of exorcisms being the result of a possessing spirit being freed from an innocent victim.

I tend to believe most are the result of some mental illness and suggestibility of impressionable souls to the beliefs they have been brought up around while growing up and being raised by other sick family members and "friends".

(Hostage to the Devil)

But who knows?

That's just what I tend to believe, just like that is what people like Malachi and people who use to seek him out for healing tend to believe, so I guess only "God" knows the truth when it comes to such things?

I have a soft spot for John Paul II, as in the later part of the 80s when the Pope came out to Australia all I had to do was jump my Catholic neighbor's back fence and walk out into their front yard and stand on the footpath with them to watch the Pope to come down their street in the "Popemoblie" and he waved at me and we briefly locked eyes and my instinct was that he was a good man.

My Nan, who was a Roman Catholic had passed away in '83 and she would have been over the moon to have the experienced what I had that day.

Today John Paul II is an official saint in The Church, so it's even more bizarre for me in hindsight to think that I saw a real-life saint during my lifetime and all I had to do was jump my childhood home's back fence to see him come past.

Theresa Chats to Premier Harpist Peter Sterling About His Angel Visions and Inspirational Musical Career?!

Angels are Real with bestselling
heavenly harpist, Peter Sterling

I recently listened to the above podcast where Theresa Cheung chats to premier harpist and #1 bestselling new age musician, Peter Sterling about his angel visions and inspirational musical career.

 Peter Sterling 

I had not heard of the harpist Peter Sterling before listening to this podcast, the only Peter Sterling I know is the NRL great footy player Peter Sterling, who I have only ever met personally once, and ironically that was in Brisbane during "Magic Round" when I was walking back from a food stand with my son and Pete was walking towards us walking towards us in a t-shirt and shorts as heading towards the commentary box, and all we said to each other was "hi":-)

I wrote about going to "Magic Round" in this old post -

Quirks of Fate and Quarks of Light?

Peter Sterling

On reflection, life can be funny, as well as musical, yeah?-)

And while I'm not a religious person I do believe in angelic beings, for lack of a better word, not so much the angels in semi-mythological works such as The Bible, but more the friendly guardian angel types working behind the scenes of this world and on the side of "God" for lack of a better word.

Not that I believe in a being like the devil, but you can see enough selfish arsehole humans in the world to know that there are probably selfish nasty evil spirits in the universe also that you have to guard yourself against from being preyed upon, too.

I guess that's why I've always liked the story of the Virgin Mary on some level, even though I'm not a Roman Catholic, I just feel that there is a baby in the bathwater there somewhere on some level for some unconscious reason and like to think of her as one of the ultimate angels, whether in some way real, or just a figment of my imagination.

So, it makes me wonder when people like Chris Bledsoe and Peter Sterling (the harpist) talk about seeing angels like cherub like babies flying around in their lives/imagination ... not that I've ever seen those types.

And why is the Vatican so interested in Chris Bledsoe's visions and tales of "The Lady" when like me Chris is not a Roman Catholic?
