When ghosts feel more real than daily life

Lately, I’ve been thinking that nostalgia may be a major driver of why people are into the paranormal. The act of hunting ghosts and interacting with the unknown is an opportunity to connect with a reality that exists beyond a computer or smartphone screen.

In the past, crises like war and disease have encouraged people to seek out the paranormal and try to find ways to speak with the dead. Just as the United States Civil War, World War I, and the Spanish flu kicked off an interest in spiritualism, I think that COVID may have had an impact on people’s interest with connecting with the dead. But I’m inclined to say that isn’t all that’s at work here.

When “real life” occurs on the computer

I probably don’t need to explain that IRL is a popular abbreviation for “in real life,” referring to things that happen outside of the digital world, away from the computer. However, these days, even though we’re still saying it, the term is beginning to feel a little bit outdated.

The term “meatspace” — a term coined in the 1990s, the opposite of “cyberspace” — is more accurate than IRL these days. After all, if what we do online isn’t part of real life, then what is?

As a millennial in my mid-thirties, I’m part of the last generation that remembers the world before the proliferation of the internet. At the risk of sounding ancient, I recall a time before everyone had a PC at home — much less a smartphone. That world felt a bit squishier than it does now; the answers to everything weren’t at your fingertips and you didn’t feel pressure to always be performing for social media and creating “content.”

“Reality” — what happened IRL — was the primary reality that people experienced.

The internet was fun, and I was definitely enamored of the online world even in the 1990s. I remember my love of Neopets and, later, in middle school, talking to my friends on AIM or Xanga. Those interactions felt real, mostly, though there was a hint of confessional surreality in online written communication back then. I always felt a bit more able to be honest or direct when typing something out, because I could imagine that there wasn’t someone on the other end. (Interestingly, that has since reversed — I now tend to be more reserved and careful in written communication, where I know a computer will remember what I said forever, versus in person or on the phone, where I know I’m dealing with the memory and humanity of a fellow person.)

Despite online interactions with friends and classmates, even when I was in high school, “real” socializing happened in person. I would talk to friends on instant messenger, but with only a few exceptions, most of the people I considered my friends were people I also hung out with at school and on weekends, not just online. Meatspace felt like the real version of the world.

That feeling has faded somewhat for me. Ever since graduating from college — and in particular since moving out of a shared apartment with friends from college and into a space that’s just with my wife and me — more and more of my socializing happens online. I constantly talk to people through text messages, DMs, or social media.

As life got busy and geographic distance separated me from friends, asynchronous digital methods became the way that I kept in touch with people. That written communication was supplemented with in-person hangouts, not the other way around.

COVID made all of that kick into overdrive, of course, since we were literally forbidden from hanging out with people in meatspace, and had to confine our socializing to the digital sphere. We were safe and socially distanced, but also adrift in an increasingly digital world.

None of what I’m saying is groundbreaking, of course. If you’re my age or older, and I asked you for a description of how your social life has changed over the last 20 years, you might say something similar. I’m not sharing any real insight here; I’m just narrating what has happened.

But when I lay it all out on the page, I find it increasingly unsettling.

Don’t get me wrong. I love that I’m able to talk to my friends asynchronously via text and DM. In years past, that sort of communication was typically relegated to email or written notes and letters, but now you can be texting someone throughout the day, slowly building a conversation over a matter of hours. I love that I’m able to see what’s going on in people’s lives and comment directly on that using social media, which allows me to be closer to some people than I might have been otherwise. We’ve been given a whole new world of ways to connect to each other and to reality, and if these platforms weren’t ruled by the profit motive and corporate monopolies, then I would consider them miraculous, perhaps. (Though I suppose that’s a whole different topic for another day.)

Unfortunately, as it is, these platforms are designed to make us feel addicted and lonely. Research has shown that angry users are more engaged users. People also buy more when they are upset, something that is highly beneficial to the advertisers who are the real customers of social media websites.

So where does this leave us? We’re isolated, atomized, and lonely. For many people, human interaction comes mostly through digital means, with meatspace interactions as a nice little addendum to that.

The more our lives end up online, the less real they might feel. A life lived behind a screen begins to feel speculative, something that can be deleted with a keystroke. The everyday world becomes disorienting and alienating.

But what does this have to do with the paranormal?

When ghosts are more solid than reality

I mentioned the wars and diseases that have prompted prior societal fascinations with spiritualism and the paranormal. While I think that the death and destruction that has come with COVID is certainly in line with that, I think that’s something else is going on when the average person decides to dip their toe into the paranormal these days.

In this digital world, we are looking for something real and human. There’s a certain amount of irony to looking at ghost hunting as a way to engage with real, human activities, but I think there’s something there.

Think about it. A stereotypical ghost hunt involves a group of friends getting together and going to a physical location. People hang out and talk and engage in something tied to a specific location, and likely to its history. Even when it’s aided by gadgets, any effort to connect with the psychical isn’t usually happening through a computer. It’s happening in meatspace.

Also, when thinking about legend tripping and the spread of urban legends, there is a strong element of in-person word of mouth. Think about people sitting around a campfire swapping stories — or teenagers at a sleepover eating microwaved s’mores and telling each other the scariest urban legends they can think of.

Of course, plenty of urban legends have become codified online, something that I explore in depth in my Goatman’s Bridge podcast series. But even when they’re spread digitally, a local urban legend still has a sense of place embedded in it. Maybe it’s centered around a creepy road or bridge, or a particularly dark tunnel, or strange neck of the woods, but there is usually a specific place to fear.

So many stories of hauntings are tied to the history of a particular location. This is the hospital where people suffered from a particular disease. This is where an old jail was. These are some deep, dark woods that you could imagine a child going missing in. This is a lonely road with very few street lights, and if you drive through alone in the middle of the night, you can practically feel the ghosts pressing in on you.

With urban legends, the darkness of the woods isn’t just any gloom. Something watches you from those specific shadows. There’s something there, something tied to the history of a place and to the people who lived there. In that way, looking for a ghost or hunting down an urban legend is intrinsically tied to a sort of reality, or at least a sort of physicality. You’re not interacting with the paranormal through a computer or a smartphone. You’re out in the world, interacting with other people, probably.

You’re looking for something that will appear in front of you or reach out and touch you. You’re hoping for a breath on your neck or scratch on your back, so you can turn to your friends and say, look, something strange happened, something touched me.

That can’t happen online. Online actions have real-world consequences and can metaphorically touch you in meatspace, but when you’re online, the world is flattened behind a screen. Whether someone considers themself a serious paranormal investigator or they’re just a teenager doing some legend tripping, they’re hoping that you’ll see something in the real world, in meatspace.

People often want to share their findings online, of course. But really what they’re looking for is that experience of being in the moment and opening themselves up to the experience of a particular place and a particular time — and that’s not quite something that can happen online.

Anyway, this is a topic that I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’m curious about the ways in which nostalgia, loneliness, and technology make people want to investigate the paranormal and perhaps even take comfort in the paranormal. So watch this space for more about that.

Today, there is a worldwide community of human vampires, or “real vampires,” as scholars typically call them. Real vampires are not undead, nor immortal, nor can they be weakened by garlic or vanquished by silver. In fact, they’re biologically typical in almost all ways, except in how they get part of their nourishment: from human and animal blood (vampires of this type call themselves “sanguinarians”), or by draining psychic energy (“psychic vampires” or “psi-vamps”), or both (hybrids).

For its participants, real vampirism isn’t a fad to be adopted one day and discarded the next (and those who treat it as such dismissed as mere “lifestylers” by the community). They feed out of what they are convinced is a biological need, one that generally appears during or just after puberty. Without their monthly, weekly, or sometimes daily feeding rituals, vampires claim, it becomes difficult for them to function—if they go too long without blood or “energy,” they can become weak, developing a host of physical and emotional symptoms that only a feeding can soothe.

In the two years I spent studying the vampires of New Orleans for my dissertation, I found that apart from their need for blood or its psychic equivalent, there were more genuine differences among them than commonalities. The people I met were equally men and women, ranging in age from 18 to 50. They were self-described atheists, monotheists, and polytheists; they were single, married, and divorced; and their sexual orientations were diverse. In fact, the only thing that truly united them all was the obvious exception to their otherwise “normal” existence: the impulse to take in blood or energy.

Some vampires, but not all, also choose to adopt the trappings of vampiric fashion, like Gothic dress and prosthetic fangs (some buy them stock, and others have custom acrylic dental prosthetics made from molds). These things are common, but they’re not at the core of the vampire identity—rather, they serve as external markers of the vampires’ internal state. Just as same-sex desire is distinct from the socio-cultural practices of the gay community, so being vampire is first a bodily need, then a set of personal and social practices for expressing it.

In general, vampires keep the trappings of their vampirism hidden during the day—it’s rare for one to show up to work in the morning wearing fangs, for example. But, when the lights go down, when the shops close up for the night and the moon rises overhead, the fangs go in and the vampires come out.

Feeding is governed by The Donor Bill of Rights, a pact between donor and vampire to promote safety and well-being, both physical and social. Real vampires perform the blood-letting ritual only with willing donors—friends, family members, significant others, or members of donor networks—and usually only after both the vampire and the donor have their blood tested. Some vampires use sterile single-use thermoplastic medical tubing to extrude blood into small receptacles for drinking on the spot, or for later storage; others may use sterile blades to make small incisions on the donor, and drink directly from the wound before cleaning and bandaging it. The Bill of Rights also applies to psychic vampires, who must refrain from “feeding” unethically—that is, taking energy from donors without their knowledge and consent.

Real vampires do not always feed. They socialize as well, especially with others of their own kind. Older, more experienced vampires (known as “elders”) will often form “houses” or “covens” to counsel younger, less experienced vampires on how to live with their condition. For psychic vampires, this guidance may also include instruction on the various methods of feeding—“contact feeding” through physically touching the donor; “ambient feeding” by taking excess energy that is naturally generated in high-traffic public places; or even “tantric feeding” through sexual encounters.

The use of terms and practices like these across the vampire community has been crucial to unifying it, helping its members construct a narrative about themselves. In popular culture, vampirism is associated with psychopathology, excess, and a general sense of social disconnection. But in reality, vampires say, they’re just a community like any other, one made of like-minded people who share rules and traditions.

A true sense of community among vampires began to emerge in the 1970s, as people who consumed blood or drained energy for nourishment began attending themed social gatherings—Dark Shadows conventions, events for blood fetishists, and bondage and S&M conventions—that allowed them to network with potential donors, and often to find others who shared their condition in the process.

In the early 1970s, some of the first organizations dedicated to studying vampires were also taking shape. Jeanne Keyes Youngson founded the Count Dracula Fan Club (now The Vampire Empire) in 1965, originally as an organization dedicated to Dracula and vampire fiction and film. But between 1970 and 1972, Youngson began receiving letters from people who self-identified as vampires. By 1974, after meeting with some of her vampire-fans, she extended the group’s purview to include real vampirism, demonstrating some of the first intellectual interest in the topic.

Around the same time, the paranormal investigator Stephen Kaplan formed the Vampire Research Center, the first organization dedicated entirely to the study of real vampirism. Through it, Kaplan supervised a “vampire hotline,” where anonymous callers could phone in to tell Kaplan and his staff about their vampiric behavior.

By the 1980s, ethnographers began to identify sub-sections of the vampire community, including people who experience sexual gratification through blood-letting rituals. The community grew in the 1990s, but real vampires still existed mostly in isolation or in small groups, relying on nearby fan conventions, low-circulation newsletters, and print correspondence.

Then, all at once, a confluence of cultural trends facilitated the rapid growth of the real-vampire community.

The first was the rise of Anne Rice conventions. Rice had begun writing her gothic fiction in the 1970s, but the 1994 film adaptation of her book Interview with the Vampire ushered in a new era of mainstream interest in vampires. The conventions quickly became meccas for vampires as well as vampire fans, doing for the community what Dark Shadows gatherings had done to a lesser degree a few decades earlier. Just as before, they provided closeted real vampires with opportunities to meet others like them, as well as people willing to satisfy their appetites.

The second was the publication of the 1991 role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade. Essentially Dungeons & Dragons with vampires, the role-playing game introduced a social space within which real vampires could congregate and network openly. It also helped to provide a lexicon of terms, protocols, and identifiers that the real vampire community could adopt for its own needs. And finally, by the end of the decade, the Internet had begun to dissolve geographic limitations, helping the niche community to grow through chat rooms and online forums.

But through its growth, at least one thing has stayed the same for the real vampires community: the stigma. Even in an era that has embraced previously fringe identities at face value, a taste for human blood remains a difficult practice to accept, especially because almost no one has found any real basis for the condition. But in fact, vampires are a proud, living critique of normalcy—which is, perhaps, the thing about them that frightens people the most.

Alpha, Beta, and Omega, particularly in the context of wolves, are early scientific descriptions of social status or rank. The idea is that the Alphas are the most dominant, powerful individuals; that the Betas are their subordinates, like lieutenants; and the “Omega” is the lowest-ranking wolf, the pack punching bag, who is submissive to everyone else and whose job is to take their abuse, and also to cajole the pack into play.

The paranormal romance genre has developed its own little sub-tropes around the framework of Alphas, Betas, and Omegas in werewolf packs, so they’re not always drawing directly on these terms as they’ve been applied to wolf packs, but it’s definitely still one of the most common versions you’ll see of werewolf society depicted in fiction.

There is also a popular trope that’s specific to fanfiction, which is also called “Alpha/Beta/Omega” or “A/B/O” dynamics, and though it shares many of the same roots as far as Alpha dominance and Omega submission, it’s not the same trope at all. A/B/O stories treat the idea of Alpha, Beta, and Omega more like sexual orientation and a description of physical sex characteristics. Some of the same problems exist in both tropes — and it gets particularly confusing when authors write A/B/O dynamics into a werewolf character setting where Alpha/Beta/Omega are also used as werewolf social ranking.

The fact that these terms are so popular, and used in so many different ways, adds an extra layer of confusion to their use, because werewolf fans will have already come across so many different ideas and iterations of what exactly “Alpha,” “Beta,” and “Omega” mean in so many different fictional universes, versus what they mean in real life, compounded with the fact that, well… the basis of the whole concept is rubbish.

Why Alpha / Beta / Omega for Werewolves Simply doesn’t Make Sense

The concept of Alpha / Beta / Omega wolves comes from flawed, outdated science. We know now that wolf packs in the wild are typically just a family unit: the “alphas” are in fact just the parents, or the breeding pair, and most of the other wolves in the pack are their offspring from the past several years. (There are many other pack configurations, including extremely large packs that might include aunts, uncles, wolves welcomed from other packs, and more, but a wolf pack on the most basic level is simply a family.)

How would your werewolves have started using these terms in the first place? They weren’t commonly associated with wolves until the 1950s. Even if your werewolves wanted to apply human scientific terms to their own society, if that society pre-dates the 1950s, it wouldn’t make sense for them to use those terms for themselves at all.

- If in your universe werewolf society goes back to much more ancient times, or are simply not coming straight out of human society with human views, they would already have their own fully developed culture, social practices, and language to describe themselves.

- The most important thing I’d love for people to understand about our ideas of power, dominance, and rank in the social life of animals, is that these are almost always just humans projecting our own nonsense onto animals.

When Alpha / Beta / Omega Might Make Sense for Your Werewolf Characters

- When your werewolves were created by, are being studied by, or are under the control of military, government, or science forces.

- When your werewolves weren’t born as werewolves, but acquired the condition from a bite, and have no idea what they’re doing.

- When your werewolves don’t use the terms for themselves, but humans have applied it to them.

There are undoubtedly other occasions when those terms might make sense, and hopefully you can give it some careful consideration to how the history of these terms might interact with the werewolf society you’ve built, if indeed your werewolves have any organized society at all.

Now Write!

I haven’t written this post with the intention of shaming authors who use this convention, but with the hope of encouraging authors to branch out a bit more in the way they write werewolves, and hopefully provide you with a bit more background on where these terms come from and their possible pitfalls for worldbuilding.

Read the full article here!

RANT ALERT

I clipped a lot of the article, to just focus on the main bits. I thought it had some interesting points, but I also thought this article was an incredibly presumptuous way of telling werewolf writers and worldbuilders how to build their own make-believe universe.

Okay, we get it, Alpha/Beta/Omega ranks were based on flawed research from the 1940s-50s, and as opposed to unrelated wolves in captivity, wolves in the wild don’t actually act that way at all. Nice. Fascinating. But werewolf fiction/horror is HARDLY one to be a stickler for factual scientific accuracy or realism in the first place.

It’s one thing to want a realistic plot and feasible character/storyline development in werewolf fiction (hello, Teen Wolf is a glaringly painful example; you’re justified to freak out trying to follow the plot holes and inconsistency and baiting). It’s another thing to single out a trope you don’t like and say in your “non-shaming” article that:

“....as much as I obviously hate this entire trope and wish it would die (sorry, I’m trying not to be judgmental, but I’m failing).”

If you don’t like ABO, or any other trope, and it bothers you that much that it’s scientifically and biologically inaccurate, there’s a very simple solution: DON’T READ OR WATCH IT.

Does it REALLY matter that werewolf stories often rely on the ABO trope in order to build their fictional stories? Yes, it often perpetuates a stereotype about human-derived hierarchies and behavioral norms, but the article is missing the point: These are WERE-WOLVES. Not REAL WOLVES. They’re ALREADY HALF HUMAN. So of course they’re going to invoke some form of human interaction and societal structures!

Then the article brought up the bitten versus born wolves. Even BORN wolves are still descended from human ancestors. “Werewolf” literally means (Hu)Man-Wolf -- the same way werefox means man-fox and werejaguar means man-jaguar. It’s rare to find a werewolf historiography in literature or film that does not begin with a HUMAN either:

being bitten by a wolf from the offset (ie: magical/scientific rabies)

using magic/potions/charms to become a wolf (eg: shamanism, animism)

being cursed into becoming a wolf, often via cannibalism (eg: Lycaon)

becoming a wolf via death-rebirth spiritualism (eg: Eastern Europe lore)

or some combination of the above

In the universes where ABO is applied to werewolves, it usually appears where multiple werewolves are already living/passing amidst normal human societies together. Technically, they’re IN CAPTIVITY; they’re not living in THE WILD. These werewolves are busy reigning in the wolf, not the human. Their community is their pack, and they’re led by a top werewolf, just like humans societies (Teen Wolf “alphas”, True Blood “packmasters”, etc). Otherwise they live like ordinary people, more or less. So by the article’s own stance that ABO ranks were only applicable to wolves not living in the wild, ABO actually applies!

In werewolf literature/film where the main character is bitten by a mysterious rogue/wild/feral (were)wolf who only exists as a plot device (usually killed in order to “cure” the character or lift the “curse”), there are no packs or ranks anyway, since that lone (were)wolf was a one-off for the sake of the storyline.

So it’s not surprising at all if werewolf packs started adopting human terms to describe what they are, even if before the 1950s they didn’t have a name for their system -- which brings up another point:

We’re taking it for granted that fictional werewolf packs around the world are even speaking English and using ABO tropes in the first place. Who’s to say that wolf packs in Europe and Mexico and Africa and Asia and the Arctic and North America are all using the same terms to describe themselves? Especially when you think about the social structures already inherently different around the world, applied on top of the ways different cultures perceive animals like wolves. You already get hints when looking at werewolves/wolves/canines in mythology and folklore and seeing how different they are!

I just think the article took the whole thing too seriously; suspend your disbelief. No one expects werewolf fiction to be scientifically accurate -- it’s myths and horror and pop culture, and the ABO kink/trope emerged from it via Supernatural fanfiction, not some special on Animal Planet or National Geographic issue. It’s all FICTION.

Let’s Read: Parasite Rex - Introduction (Chronicles or Darkness)

Over on @theonyxpath ’s forums, some is doing a Let’s Read of the Chronicle of Darkness core rulebook, which inspired me to do some reading of my own. The book I’m reading, though, Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer, isn’t part of the Chronicles of Darkness at all. Rather, it is a nonfiction book about real-world parasites that was listed as an inspiration in Hunter: the Vigil. I thought it might be interesting to give it a read and record some thoughts on using it as inspiration for Chronicle Why Parasite Rex? I’ve had this book sitting on my iPad for a while, and the very first time I picked it up with that my grandparents will I was still in University. I don’t think I ever got past the first chapter, and I certainly don’t remember much of it. The immediate cause for me to pick it back up again was that I got to see Anand Varma’s presentation with National Geographic Live today, entitled Beauty and the Bizarre, which opens with Anand’s incredible photography of various types of parasites. I had actually misremembered which book listed Parasite Rex as inspiration, so I had thought a couple of times through the lecture about the obvious link between Anand’s work and Requiem. Since I’m contemplating a Vampire Chronicle, now seemed to be as good of a time to read Parasite Rex as any. ***************** Introduction The introduction starts with a description of the effects of Sleeping Sickness in what is now South Sudan and at the time was held by the Rebel forces in the civil war. Zimmer picks up on how slippery the definition of a parasite is in scientific circles. I confess I run into this one as well when trying to differentiate for my students between a parasite and a pathogen. There is so much overlap between the two that a Venn Diagram between them could almost show a single circle. Is that the relationship between Hunters and the supernatural? One of the central conceits of Vigil has always been that those who take up the Vigil are different from regular mortals. The second that you hit Tier Three level Conspiracies you are dealing with organisations who either have explicitly supernatural powers or who access to those who do. It is also interesting how Zimmer describes scientists (and himself) as being morbidly fascinated with the beauty and elegance of parasites like Sleeping Sickness’s source, Trypanosoma brucei. I can see Hunter organizations being enthralled with the supernatural in similar ways, but it was also striking to me on a meta level. Scientist’s fascination with parasites is very the same curiosity that I suspect most horror fans feel towards the genre. For CofD even more specifically, I suspect that all of us who play the game feel something similar. We are enchanted and enthralled by the deadly world that we set this games in and the macabre beauty of organizations like the Ordo Dracul or the Guardians of the Veil. Moving over to Costa Rica, Zimmer is helping to collect frogs with parasitologist documenting the many unknown parasites they find withing frogs. They are pulling flukes, hookworms, and nematodes out of lungs, guts, and kidneys. It reminds me of a line from Batman Begins; “You are defending a city so corrupt, we have infiltrated every layer of its government.” A similar sentiment is used to convey how dark the world of Chronicles is, especially with Vampires. The Kindred have their fangs in everything, but does that mean the world is utterly corrupted? I mean, vampires in this game are social parasites, and parasites are goddamned good at getting past every last defence you can throw at them. Zimmerman had earlier mentioned that the parts of the world which aren’t crawling in parasites are far more unusual and abnormal than those that are. So a strong supernatural presence doesn’t mean doom for any one city. In fact, that’s normal; it’s just that mortals choose to ignore the paranormal. Ourorld is bursting with evidence of parasites right in front of our noses, and we manage willfully remain oblivious to it. Is it really that surprising that everyone in a supernatual modern world would ignore the ghost in the alley? They aren’t jaded by the supernatrual, quite the opposite. If they were conscious of the bizarre world around them, most people wouldn’t be able to cope. It also makes me wonder what evolutionary forces drove the supernaturals in CofD to exist in their current forms. Obviously, I could brush the evolutionary question off via magic, and for some creatures like Changelings and Beasts, that may be appropriate. Vampire, Werewolves, Prometheans, and Mages all have featured various social and lineage factors that could act as Dawkins Memes in the same way that genes do biologically. It’s an interesting question, especially since Anand talked about hyperparasites today, parasites that parasitize other parasites. Sound much like the Strix or Claimed to anyone? Those were certainly my thoughts. ******** I like this idea, I think I can get some pretty good ideas out of it. I don’t know how often updates will be, but I want to keep it up. If you have any thoughts on what I have said, or have read/start to read Parasite Rex, feel to chip in and post your own thoughts. Chapter 1: Nature’s Criminals is next.

About the 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Twelve Authors-

Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Alexandra: “I’m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on. Years later (no, I’m not admitting how many) I’m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold! I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.

Laura Wright is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Laura: “Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn’t a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater, song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago – my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I couldn’t put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone, Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even after you’ve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and had my two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream come true.”

Lorelei’s books have been nominated for and won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s choice Award, as well as the CAPA Award. Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her family…and a whole closet full of cow girl boots. From Lorelei: “Why do I have a particular fondness for all things western? Well, I’m a fourth generation South Dakotan, living in the Black Hills, which is chock-full of interesting characters, including cowboys, Indians, ranchers, and bikers. The geographical diversity of the surrounding area showcases mountains, plains, and badlands. Living in and writing about rural settings gives me a unique perspective, especially since I’m not writing historical westerns. Through my fictional world, I can show the ideals and the cowboy way of life are still very much alive.”

Although rather fun-sized, she's been told she has a full-sized personality.

Psionic Machines & Radionic Machines Influencing The Subliminal Mind (Take your Power Back)

Psionic Machines & Radionic Machines

Influencing The Subliminal Mind

Messages and symbols are frequently hidden within popular television shows and movies. Subliminal symbols are delivered in such a way as not to be noticed by the conscious mind but are readily picked up by the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind records everything that it is exposed to, regardless of the speed of delivery. Speed is often a factor in non-recognition by the conscious mind. If you read Brice Taylor's book, Thanks for The Memories, you know that Disney is heavily involved in mind control programming (as is NASA). A number of years ago, I saw single frames from the Disney's animation of The Littlest Mermaid which showed a scene in the water where she is nude from the waist down and seen with full pubic hair. If you saw the movie, you would 't pick it up because a single frame of animation goes by in something like 1/18th of a second, however, your subconscious mind would catch it and retain it. I also saw a single frame from The Lion King where the word "SEX" was spelled with twinkling stars in a scene showing a night sky. Paul, the fellow who spotted the subliminal in this National Geographic documentary aired on British TV, illustrates the embedded programming symbols by SLOWING down the video; this is the key to seeing them.

This method of controlling brain waves with low-frequency input certainly is not a new technology at all! In the 1930’s already researchers found that repetitive light and/or sound stimulation caused brain waves to adjust to the same frequency.

For decades now, some “new age gurus” and other cult leaders made extensive use of repetitive sound pulses, often of the inaudible and subliminal kind. This helps them to cause their captive audiences to be more receptive to their preaching. Much earlier than that, as far back in time as the very dawn of humankind, shamans used drumming (repetitive pulses, or beats, of low frequency) to put their audiences into altered states and cause them to have experiences that they would not have in their normal state of daily activities. In our times, this type of pulse, or “beat” is used in many events where the capturing of audiences and the temporary control of their habits (or minds) is considered to be important, such as in fashion shows, exercise machine advertising, commercials, military training, church meetings, and TV infomercial pitches to the public, to name just a few.

You can find a variety of fairly good Light-Sound (LS) devices on the market today. A LS-device typically stimulates the brain indirectly with light flashes through goggles and sound stimuli (beats) through earphones. These stimuli will cause the brain to adjust to the frequency of the flashes and sounds and consequently generate the corresponding level of awareness. As you can find out right from the beginning of using such a device, all LS-devices have a serious flaw: They depend on earphones and goggles to be effective. In other words: if you want to access a specific level of awareness such as charismatic appearance, calm, or creativity, you need to get the stimuli through earphones and goggles.

It is obvious that you cannot wear these LS-devices whenever you really need them! Just imagine appearing on a date, an important business meeting, or a sports event with a LS-contraption on your head - this would be outright ridiculous and counteract the desired effects! And you cannot do creative writing or art either while using such a LS-contraption on your head. You need to wait till you can take it off your head, and then your brain waves will adjust back to their usual state.

Using Psionic Mind Power Technology you are able to unlock the hidden potential of the human mind.

Psionic Machines Empower Easy Reality-Reengineering

Radionic machines are additionally called "wishing machines". Using extraordinary images and orgone-creating wizardy, these contraptions center your musings with laser force to make your wants truly work out as expected.

Experience has demonstrated that radionic treatment can be useful in

Trustworthy radionic organizations have started proclaiming the astounding energy of this innovation. A couple of include:

The Radionic Association

| Radionic Research Institute | Welz | Public Orgone Research Exchange

Extra time, specialists understood that radionic treatments can be used past the domain of basic recuperating. It can be released to really impact probabilities, subsequently gaining itself the monicker "wishing innovations."

Conventional

MAGIC VS PSIONIC MACHINES

"Enchantment", in the conventional feeling of the word, is the impacting of reality through paranormal means.”

A run of the mill sorceress enchants by imagining what she needs, making images to speak to her goal and experiencing a tiring custom that invigorates it (incense, droning, butchering of chickens). Such unrefined customs give vitality by discharging little measures of chi vitality. Chi along these lines opens up her contemplations and wants.

These three stages of Visualization, Symbolism and Energizing outcomes in the control of probabilities… to her support.

The present Radionic frameworks are basically current supernatural innovations.Regardless of the mysterious teach, whether Wicca, Voodoo, Huna, Hebrew, Gothic, Celtic, the segments are the same. To impact reality, the three fixings must be available. The absence of any outcomes in disappointment.

Present day MAGIC = RADIONICS

Like in customary enchantment, Visualization, Symbolism and Energy are required by radionic techniques to impact reality and in this way concede wishes– in a manner of speaking.

In any case, there's a distinction in the last part of Energizing. Radionics does not get vitality from droning, chicken butcher and voodoo dolls. Rather, radionics depends on present day innovative disclosures (orgone generators) to store up huge surges of chi vitality. An orgone generator can soak a stay with substantially more vitality than a whole coven of prepared wizards giving up virgins on Beelzebub's sacrificial table. Since more vitality likens to normally speedier outcomes, capable radionic gadgets can defeat a whole armed force of alzheimeric wizards. Anybody with such a gadget can be a supernatural ace overnight.

Keep in mind the way to achievement in radionics:

RESULTS = VISUALIZATION + APT SYMBOLISM + LOTS OF ENERGY

WHAT IS MEGA CASTER, QUANTUM CASTER AND QUANTUM GRID PRIME SERIES?

Radionic machines cost $8000 to $10,000 on the normal (Google.com can decide this for you). Producers of these gadgets legitimize their costs with different highlights, for example, scores of dials, copper plates, favor electromagnetics and vitality channels.

While capable, huge numbers of these machines fly past the range of the normal purchaser and most are essentially too hard excessively utilize. A run of the mill $7,000 radionic gadget, for instance, requires the client to concentrate eagerly as he sets 12 to 24 dials for "tweaking" the imagery of his goal or wish. Sounds simple? Barely. Thirty minutes can slip by with much disappointment and little advance. Regularly, these exorbitant machines wind up social event clean as the disturbed client winds up racking the gadget.

The MEGA CASTER, QUANTUM CASTER AND QUANTUM GRID PRIME SERIES arrangement effectively breaks the value boundary and crushes the expectation to learn and adapt. Evaluated from a unimportant $200 to $1000, this line of radionics machines brag greatly high-control chi generators (OverDrive Engines) and keypad/Z86 PC consoles to annihilate the dissatisfaction emerging from dial control.

In under thirty seconds, you can set the machine on an individual wish and leave… knowing very well indeed that probabilities have started moving to support you.

It's truly that basic.

Past MANIFESTATION; IT'S THE NEXT HEALTH WAVE

In the mid 90s, the National Institutes of Health in the United States begat another term: the Biofield. It relates to a large group of discoveries depicting an inconspicuous vitality matrix*that saturates and reaches out past the physical body. It is a power ubiquitous inside the universe and concentrated among living animals

The Biofield is something the people of old knew from the start and which you've presumably experienced. Called "prana", "chi" and "ki", the biofield is a crucial power that energizes our bodies and powers our day by day lives. At the point when the biofield is out of adjust, we're crooked. Ailment mirrors a traded off biofield.

Every moment of our lives, our own vitality handle the biofields – are debilitated by cellphone towers, radioactive PC screens, harmful partners, passionate anxiety, and riotous group. We are exhausted by frequencies that actually tear at our prosperity.

It's a great opportunity to recover our inward health!

Use Psionic Machines & Radionic Machines to:

▪ BRING BACK A LOST LOVE LIKE A BOOMERANG

▪ MAGNETIZE MONEY SO IT STICKS TO YOU LIKE GLUE AND MULTIPLIES LIKE RABBITS

▪ BECOME A POWERFUL LEADER AND FORCE OF NATURE IN YOUR WORKPLACE

▪ RADIATE CONFIDENCE AND CHARISMA LIKE A MOVIE STAR

▪ INFLUENCE OTHERS TO DO YOUR BIDDING AND HAVE THEM BEGGING TO SERVE YOU
