Internet resources I've made use of on this site

http://ufoinfo.com/humanoid/index.shtml   Albert Rosales of UFOINFO.COM has compiled a phenomenal data bank of Humanoid Sighting Reports. What a great resource! I really did not get just how many varied types of humanoids were either on or visiting (on purpose or otherwise) our planet till I read through his pages.

http://www.geocities.com/the_wanderling/wanderling.html   This fellow has put together a lot of great consciousness related material. Plenty to get inspired by. Another person generating their reality who has some knowledge relative to our consciousness and flying.

http://www.survivalafterdeath.org/articles.htm A lot of research on the last couple of centuries relative to psychic abilites and science. Plenty of interesting reading.

Get In Touch With Your Breath.

There are three basic types of breathing.
Clavicular breathing is the most shallow and worst possible type. The shoulders and collarbone are raised while the abdomen is contracted during inhalation. Maximum effort is made, but a minimum amount of air is obtained.

Thoracic breathing is done with the rib muscles expanding the rib cage, and is the second type of incomplete breathing.

Deep abdominal breathing is the best, for it brings air to the lowest and largest part of the lungs. Breathing is slow and deep, and proper use is made of the diaphragm.

Prana is a subtle energy that pervades every corner of the universe. While we can't see and touch it directly, at least not as beginning breathers, we can do so indirectly, through one of its most obvious physical manifestations and significant vehicles, our breath.

Pranayama helps clear and cleanse the body and mind. It is also used in preparation for meditation to help maximize the benefits of the practice and focus the mind.

More specifically: "...pranayama is the process of expanding our usually small reservoir of prana by lengthening, directing, and regulating the movement of the breath and then limiting or restraining the increased pranic energy in the body-mind." - Richard Rosen

IF YOU ONLY GO TO ONE OF THESE LINKS, GO TO THIS ONE: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/bodhisattva/nine_siddhis.html  What are the various powers yogi's, yogini's (female yogi's) and others through the centuries have demonstrated? This webpage has a wealth of information on the Nine Great Siddhis (powers) as well as eight additional ones. He also has lots more interesting things to read and learn about. The philosophy also, is sound.

Siddhis are by-products of concentration. They have nothing to do with Self-realization. One can perform them and still be "unenlightened". Having these powers (siddhis) can be a great hindrance to spiritual progress if one confuses these abilities with actual Self or God realization. Thus, we want to keep a firm hold of the reins of the ego. The Siddhis are actually supernormal perceptual states that are available to all human beings. The famous medium D.D. Home's was not a yogi, yet could do several of these siddhis.

On Premonitions

Register your premonitions at the Central Premonitions Registry:

A premonition is a situation wherein some future event is foreknown or forecast. In descending order of frequency, premonitions come in the form of dreams, waking thoughts and feelings, waking imagery and sleep-onset (hypnagogic) imagery. 
     Why do so many of us get our premonitions in the dream state? Our dreaming self is organized along a different principle than the waking self. Our dreaming self is more expansive and more concerned with our connection with all others than the waking self. In sleep it's the inner, intuitive self that takes over while the reasoning mind takes its nightly sabbatical.
     Premonitions serve us in a few ways. 1. They are a way to prepare ourselves for actions we will take, whether that has to do with warning others or taking preventative action ourselves, whether that looks like writing and mailing off a letter or calling the FAA in advance of an airplane crash. 2. It supports us in having faith in the existence of a greater power, one greater than our ego, a spiritual reality (One that we are connected to always) with access to information that's generally beyond the purview of the ego. 3. Premonition also calls into question our notions of the nature of Time and Space as a premonition essentially provides an effect (the premonition) before the cause (the event). Our being able to access the future (premonition) as well as the past (clairvoyance) supports the reality of there being in truth a "Spacious Present", that this is what time really is, and this is what we are able to tap into.
     You see, our mind is not locked up in our physical brain. 4. Who we really are is beyond the physical . The mind, the being we are, is beyond the reach of time and space, even beyond the physical self we experience ourselves so much to be.
5. Premonition also shows us, through one of its forms, remote viewing, that we can indeed learn to consciously make use and control of this ability.

What we tend to think of as our "future" is actually probabilistic, that is, it is not "set". It is always plastic and moldable. We can make a difference with our premonition abilities/gifts. Some premonitions come so that we may be warned and thus prevent a particular event; the entering into a particular probability. Other premonitions aren't about prevention so much as preparation. They help us to (mentally, emotionally and spiritually) prepare for coming actions in an event. They can also serve as a trigger for a new belief say in spirit or psychic abilities where prior there may have been neither.
     The purpose for a premonition is going to be unique unto each individual. Everyone has their personal issues and or fears that they are working on. It's no accident that we have the kind of premonitions we have, that we get them in the particular ways that we do or, that we act or don't act on them. Everyone is growing and learning. Premonitions are one way we grow. In the face of them we learn more about who we are and what we are committed to. Whether we get our premonitions through dreams, anxieties or in some other manner, there are purposes for them, both for us personally and for those who are directly and even indirectly involved in them.

Once we have matured into our abilities and have opened up to a broader understanding of the possibilities and realities that truly exist, we will "know" the difference between a communication from our Higher Self, that of a guardian of ours, an ET or our father who has passed away.

Usually we need to be open to possibility, the belief in something (such as personal flight) before we can "know" it as a reality. Knowing it as a reality makes believing in it a moot point. Some of us "know" that personal flight is a reality. Others of us know it as a possible reality, we believe it is possible. Still others do not believe in personal flight at all and so for them, the possibility and the reality of personal flight is for the most part closed off.

Remote viewing is a form of premonition not limited to one time tense, as in the future only. This form though is the conscious use of our minds ability to focus and concentrate on a time or thing not in our immediate presence and obtain information on it. The fact that remote viewing works, should say to us: pay attention to our own inner feelings and senses. As we become masters again of our own inherent psychic abilities we won't need the Being, Mothman to make up for our lack of conscious psychic attention. Thus, those helping us can go their own way again. As Mothman has shown, becoming conscious of our psychic abilities IS (more than we've known) a matter of physical life and death.  Premonitions and links to webpages etc. below

In 1979, Rita Dwyer, a chemist worked for Morton Thiacol. A co-worker repeatedly dreamt of saving her from a fire. The male co-worker of hers repeatedly dreamt of saving his co-workers life from fire at work. Now, he did not mention these to her before hand. When the event he foresaw did come to pass he was already familiar with what the circumstances would be and what actions he'd be able to take to save her and with alacrity he did so.

Author, W.T. Stead , wrote numerous stories and articles predicting that a large ocean liner would sink with the loss of over half on board due to the lack of sufficient lifeboats. W. T. Stead also had an interest in psychic mediums, and he recorded his visits with them. He received three separate warnings that can easily be linked to the Titanic disaster. One was that "travel would be dangerous in the month of April, 1912." Another told Stead that he would be involved "in the midst of a catastrophe on the water" involving the deaths of more than a thousand people. One clergyman, upon hearing about the building of the Titanic, was so moved by his own premonitions that he wrote to Stead predicting that the Titanic would sink. Despite all these warnings, Stead booked passage on the Titanic, and died in the disaster.
     Many have recognized one glaring item in his story. This man received three warnings from spirit that it would be a one way ride to another realm. Logically, anyone who wanted to stay here would have gotten that message and taken heed, he did not. This leads me to consider that either he was intensely "dense" and unconscious or, he has a purpose or purposes known only to him for getting on that ship. I tend to think it's a case of the latter. The flip side to this however is that for the rest of us this story serves as a warning. Don't lightly dismiss the visions and premonitions of those around you for spirit speaks to us often through others. Closed minds pay high prices.

A One Event Premonition: David Booth had a dream premonition ten days in a row. The same identical dream each night that kept spelling disaster for one airliner. He did not know which one, what airline or where but he did endeavor to warn about it. With so little information to go on the FAA could do nothing. As it turned out, it was American Airlines flight 191; a McDonnell Douglas DC - 10 that crashed May 25th 1979 physically killing 273 people and becoming the deadliest airplane "accident" (if you believe in such things) on U.S. soil. 

Multiple Premonitions and Events: Barbara Garwell who is now over 60 years young, has been having premonitions since she was a childhood. She has written a book "Dreams that Come True" (Thorsons).   The following url is on Dr. Hearne's page on premonition. He studied her in depth during his research on the subject. His piece on her is two thirds down this page. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dreamthemes/page4.html   

Artist Puts His Dreams Down on Paper: David Mandel (a painter) detailed his premonitions in sketches and paintings that were uncannily similar to photographs that would later appear in the English newspapers about the events he had foseen. In his premonition of the Tokyo Subway Gassing for instance, he stated that it was a gassing, that it was in Tokyo, and would happen on a train. Add to this the fact he stated the gas had a strong smell when ordinarily the nerve agent used doesn't smell at all but on this occasion had become contaminated and so did. He also noted that there would be 100's of leaflets in the train left by the terrorist group responsible and that these would serve to distribute the agent. He also identified those responsible as coming from the hills and having a religious connection. This group it turned out later was part of a doomsday cult that lived in the hills outside Tokyo. http://www.spr.ac.uk/confprogramme.php3?year=2003#Savva_French

http://www.mceagle.com/ Joseph McMoneagle, one of the United States top remote viewers. After returning to America in late 1977, he accepted the army's commission as a Warrant Officer, as well as an assignment to Headquarters, Intelligence and Security Command. Less than a year later he was recruited as a remote viewer in the very black and very sensitive Psychic Spy unit now known as STARGATE. As one of the original viewers with that unit, he helped design and build an effective paranormal collection and support unit that serviced nearly all major Intelligence Agencies within the Federal Government for over seventeen years.
