Now, here is an arresting interview! Eyebrows will be raised again and again! Emmy Vadnais is at her best as an interviewer, and Shannon Taggart responds with curiosity and insight. The time spent here is time spent well.

A truly different perspective from the norm! Like seeing a lens from another dimension, I have a new view of what some call "our world"!

Cool hearing SORRAT group discussed: 50+ yrs bringing evidence of non-local consciousness. ('The Entity Letters' by Dr. McClenon brings thorough recap.)

Shannon and Emmy, thanks for new look at it. ✨

Lovely interview Emmy, you have a real rapport with your guests. Having spent most of my adult life in broadcasting and interviewing everyday, I appreciate your skills. It's like the duck gliding on the water, you don't see how hard its little legs are paddling, it looks effortless. I'm now a full time painter so found this episode particularly interesting. Best wishes from Scotland.

Interesting interview particularly in the 'realness' portrayed by a photograph i.e. ectoplasm. Even the best photographs where independent scientists/experts are present the photos can still look unrealistic. Maybe that's due to the infrared light used or the 'static' nature of a photograph? Even though I personally have a belief toward other realms etc... some of the photos look dubious I'm thinking specifically about Helen Duncan images when under trance and what for me looks like a doll but there are those who knew her steadfastly stand by her genuiness - although many think she was jailed for being a fraud when actually she was jailed under the arcane British Witchcraft Act because she'd revealed, in a seance, the sinking of a British naval ship which was a secret at the time and the British Government wanted it to remain a secret for strategic reasons.

To me, as a transgender person, I feel like that is directly related to treating men and women as spiritually equal. By that I mean that beneath the bodies we wear, beyond the scenery of life, between the molecules, and hovering invisibly above the words I write right now are the most important things about life. The invisible is the most important. Not the mechanics of the bodies we wear for the purposes of conveying cosmic speech. It seems so obvious to me that transgender is the same as saying that. That the soul of life—the spirit—is the most important. When that spirit transcends the symbols it becomes divine. ❤ The breath behind the words, the sun behind the weather on Earth. The wind in the branches of the world tree. The stars in space swirling around the gravity well of the inscrutable future the embodiment of the ancestral past. I believe it is not about control of the narrative but letting that narrative flow. The real narrative beneath the wilderness of forms. Orbs are symbols of the god-mind. Reflections of it. But I see it in all the stages of the journey all around me. I see the iam in the all. I understand how strange that is. 😂 🤷‍♀️ I see god moving in peoples lives all around me, when they don’t see. I can see staggering miracles while another is making a grocery list. It’s kinda isolating. Like living in other dimensions only reflected here like a hyper cube. So yeah it’s difficult. I really cherish these people and their lives and ideas. Thank you for this ❤ Art and the invisible which binds us all in spirit. One day, the world we live in will understand and we will all be “trans”. Love transcends gender—and pretty much everything else ❤

was as an event photographer and quit my activities as photographer since i just realized that sometime I took photo of person I and got the sinister expression or 'evil side" of the person, but sadly I 'suffer' from 'GAS' of photography gear..😊
