Rick Philips, "The Anomaly Man" - Estoric blogger, author, lecturer, paranormal experiencer this week July 29, 2012

Summary: Rick Phillips is back again this week joining Eric and Lon for what is certain to be a fun and informative program! Estoric blogger, author, lecturer, paranormal experiencer and Phenomenologist Rick Phillips was born 60 years ago in Shamokin PA, but lived within a year and grew up in Euclid Ohio. Unlike most humans, Phillips remembers his FIRST thought - at his third birthday party he remembers the first words heard in his head `I Am Three' - his first I AM moment. Indeed, his early childhood had other unusual circumstances that led him to consider huge ideas - including his mothers `finding of Humanism' (to replace standard religion) and his grandmothers strong interest in UFOs; including him often hearing her say about UFOs `I wish they would land and take me'. So, perhaps as a result of the above - indeed, even from the earliest of ages, and awareness, Phillips remembers many possible non-rdinary realities; such as: Time Distortion as a child when throwing a stone at someone and as the stone went towards the persons back - time slowed down significantly in his perception A one time `we won't hurt you' bedroom visitor who instilled sleep movement immobilization and speech immobilization - under age six. Poltergeist phenomena in home - most likely of the grandfather he was living with at the time of his sudden death when 13 years old. Indeed, the paranormal experiences have continued throughout Phillips' life including: Automatic writing/Thinking - From 1974-1976 would have to suddenly write concepts he knew nothing about - later to find he was writing Phenomenology ideas similar to Husserl and Sartre when he found those thinkers works. Phillips calls these ideas `The Phillips Phenomenology' and it forms one of his foundations of looking at the anomalous phenomena in the world. He has two blogs that deeply dig into his phenomenology - one called `What Is Not Able To Not Be Is 'http://whatisnotabletonotbeis.blogspot.com/ and the other is Phillips's main esoteric blog and his first investigations into the worlds Fortean phenomena - it's called `The Heavy Stuff' - http://theheavystuff.com/ Telekinesis witness - 1973 with former roommate at Ohio University, Curt Chaplin - the hallway interview guy, of `The People's Court' for the past 15 years. The telekinesis happened at a pre-selected `power spot' and was during extreme talks of Chaplin and Phillips about Carlos Castaneda's first book - The Teachings of Don Juan. Specifically, Chaplin and Phillips were by far MOST interested in the appendix of the book called `The Structural Analysis'. (Have REVERSE related event with John Flower.) Full blown Missing Time Incident with Two Others - 1986 with intellectual friend John Flower (so intellectual that he was once an actor for an ad in Rolling Stone that called for a `40's bearded intellectual'). The description of what is remembered of the structure of this `time gap' is worth listening to and thinking about. One great post on The Heavy Stuff Phillips wrote was called `The Missing Space of Missing Time Incidents'. Phillips also may have had a `smaller' missing time incident in the mid-70's also. Controlled Lucid Dreaming - About a dozen times using Carlos Castaneda's technique of `finding ones hands' in a dream and then setting up a phenomenology there. Phillips describes this reality state as totally unique. Close Up UFO Sighting - 1991 - Very close sighting with a great background story. Ultimately, this has led Phillips to be a near daily UFO blogger. His highest rated (Alexa) blog is called UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock-http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/ started in 2007 and put into near daily full gear since 2010 and now with over 550 posts. But, all of the above - has been fed into the mind of Phillips - which also has had `interesting experiences' beyond the near automatic esoteric phenomenology writing (BTW, most of Phillips's blogs are indeed just that ty(continued)
