Erik Stitt - Paranormal Experiencer - New Thought Provoker

As I recently did here at Barf Stew for Bruce Duensing - featuring his thoughts and links for a day - Today I'd like to look at a `new', very prolific, paranormal blogger - bursting his ideas (and experiences) into the esoteric plane of awareness only since late 2009 - Erik Stitt. http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/ Like Bruce, Erik loves to explore realities structures incorporating his experiences and viewpoints with possible theories for all to read. Writers like Bruce and Eric are mind candy for some of us.

This tagcloud copy and paste will give you an idea of how he codes his material.

The above noted - his writings are much more esoteric than the above tagcloud would suggest - and - today, I pick up on three posts that I bookmarked from just the last few weeks. And, like with Bruce Duensing's material last week - I will comment in some manner about each link of Erik's that I highlight.

First up - Chasing Coyote: The Ghost in the Skull - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/chasing-coyote-ghost-in-skull.html . Now, part of good paranormal writing is having the cool title - check.

In this post, as in many of his other posts, Erik reveals - "The childhood my brother and I had was very interesting and at times terrifying to say the least. We, together have seemingly experienced almost the entirety of the paranormal realm and its unorthodox offerings at one time or another and sometimes multiple events at once! Things flew around our room, the whispers chattered, the temperature grew cold and the blue light flooded through the windows. My brother and I watched and unwillingly participated in these horrifying events until we were both well into our teenaged years.

some of the more bizarre events his experienced with others, in this case his brother. But, his article is used to posit the idea that the phenomena beyond the normal consensus may be caused by the individual themselves as a bi-location-connectedness of oneself to reality. "By relating to an identity, we are forced conceptually to look upon everything around us and in us as Other Than. I don’t think it is. It is this sense of Other Than, in my opinion, that is both the progenitor and the harbinger of the fear of it; fear of the separate and unknown or Unknowable thing. Fear that is unfounded if one were to maybe accept the possibility that the bad, bad thing is actually one’s self. At once it becomes innocuous and inane as a mere cerebral contrivance of ether and pith.

Erik however does allow for it not to be self-based phenomena too "another postulate and speculative guess comes to mind because as I stated earlier, knowing the thing only seems to make it more separate with the ever-unnerving stance of Other Than perception. To me, THAT is the Trickster. That fleeting sense of Other Than instead of More Of Myself in constant horrific and morphing manifestation is, to my way of thinking, the illusive Coyote; the skinwalking shapeshifter preying upon the archetypal arsenal lying in waiting within your subconscious mind.


Interestingly, Erik gives a possible reason for his Trickster entity as being a accumulation of forces/consciousnesses - just as I spoke about a quantitative basis of consciousness in Could the Human Population Level `Trip' Cosmic Consciousness? http://theheavystuff.com/?p=47


All in all - accessible thinking, well explained, with plausible ideas.


Post two - The Paranormal: Believing the Reality You Have Created - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/paranormal-believing-reality-you-have.html Erik's post easily passes the great title requirement again - check.

Frankly, in this post - Erik sounds more like a Zen person than an outside the box thinker; "Most go through life thinking that all around them is without them. This is inside out perception. Literally. All, and I mean ALL, is within YOU. All comes to you. All comes from you. You do not understand? Rest in that which does not understand and that is still it (thank you Ken Wilber). There is nothing YOU are not.


That said, the above is only a sliver of a long essay making this point in many accessible ways. -- My comment from my brain - more `into' phenomenology - would be that - indeed - the NOW of our perception can be found only within ourselves - and, it indeed is attached to the `out there'.


And, finally, post three - The Undoing of Science in Ultimate Subjectivity - http://www.paranormalexperiencer.com/2010/04/undoing-of-science-in-ultimate.html - dig the title once again. Check.

To me, this post is what the title of the last post was supposed to be - a diving into ideas of subjective reality and belief. Interesting esoteric opinions. Again, to me, Erik extends a little far into one direction - but - since I have only skimmed the surface of his writings - this may be nothing more than his writing style. Indeed, I found this thought experiment of his to be fun to read - makes me wonder if he has read Joseph Chilton Pierce or some phenomenology such as Sartre or Husserl.


So, if you are looking for a new, interesting, blogger on esoteric thoughts - make sure to include The Paranormal Experiencer on (or to)  your bookmarks.

Bruce Duensing - Actualizing `Tin Foil' Thinking Intentionalities

Hello, welcome to Barf Stew - thanks for visiting today. Indeed, it's a lucky day for you, because today I am featuring perhaps the very best internet blogger concerning `the event horizon' types of topics - most notably his speculations on paranormal events, but, really - as you would expect with the event horizon - ALL EVENTS.

Here's what I've said about Bruce's blog (over a year ago) http://materialintangible.blogspot.com/ on my Squidoo site: "Bruce Duensing's frequently updated blog on the event horizon -- cites Watts, Gurdijeff and other classics as influences. Known as the man who writes respectable Tin Foil. Always mindblowing and at the end of reality." -

Now, amusingly, just before I came to write this article on Bruce - I checked my dashboard for this blog and saw that I had a comment - it was from Bruce (I think the first time he has commented on this blog besides once before) who said "Only your equally twisted mind could have come up with a title like Barf Stew forcing us to say we love barf stew."

Now, one would think in normal society that `internet bloggers/friends' calling each other `Tin Foil' or `twisted mind' - might have a negative connotation (and I'm sure it does to some `normal' minded folks) - but, in Bruce's and my mind - it is a GREAT compliment - (even if it is only us patting each others on the back with no one knowing it). Why? Because Bruce and I both love to think about a very narrow segment of reality - the sliver of `now actualization'.

Bruce's mind approaches it with a hugely dense wall of words bringing the reader right into the fray of reality expressing itself - often mixing in correct armchair physics concepts to a stew of psychological concepts at the far end of human knowability - forming concepts that may express actual new thoughts about the reality structure. Literally, beconning the unknown to interact with his reality positionings.

Now, the actual motivation to talk about Bruce today was the fact that his most recent blog postings have been piling up in my Barf Stew bin - and rather than dribble them out with just a few words each - I wanted to present them all in one place; with actual comments and highlights.

So, I hope you have your very best, clearest, most non-ordinary mindset ready to absorb what you are about to read - and - if by some chance you are NOT aware of Bruce's word talents - strap on your seatbelt for your own safety.

First up - is a post titled `A Lost Expedition and The Third State of These Matters' and subtitled `Driving Against Traffic On The Expressway to Self Referential Logics or Paranormal Existentialism' - http://materialintangible.blogspot.com/2010/04/lost-expedition-and-third-state-of.html - Interestingly, Bruce does this post for Erik Stitt of The Blogsquatcher - who recently had some very intense personal revelations concerning the Bigfoot Phenomena - ultimately deciding just that - it was a phenomena instead of a real creature.

But, back to Bruce's sub-title - I mean, grab onto your seats  folks - `self-referential logics' - `paranormal existentialism' - who else would even attempt such a positioning! - Now, how about THIS for a first sentence of Bruce's post: "Vectoring Human Entanglement"

"We have the local, that is to say this demarcation is the storage and reciprocal transference of energy in what we term the material which has a certain geometry due to it's location, fed in our neighborhood by a star."

Now, I'm ONLY going to respond to Bruce's first statement of each of his posts - but - can you believe so much info in so few words - expressing SO much? -- Okay, first, perhaps only a twisted mind like mine enjoys such verbage - but - as a blogger who loves Phenomenology - I will respond in the manner that my mind pictures Bruce's word images.

Here goes my comment - All things (spaces) represent the `energy & geometry' of their instantaneous locations - presenting themselves as the `local' for human consumption (and beyond) - fed by the `life' for ANY area of `life' - the nearest Star.

Now, just imagine where Bruce takes you on the expressway of this first post. (BTW, the FIRST comment in the comment section mentions HUSSERL my favorite read.) ----------- Ready for post two? I thought so.


Titled - `The Superimposition of States of Energy As Information' - and sub-titled - `Homeostasis, Mutation, and A Physics of Information or, alternatively, The Bones Of Energy' - http://materialintangible.blogspot.com/2010/04/the-superimposition-of-states-of-energy.html -- with a first statement title of `Systems Psychology and Theory In The Paranormal'

"In two posts I wrote of the living system theory and it's semi-closed nature in relation to self organization toward mutation, adaptation and it's vectoring a steady state in relation to those and other variables posed against the potential within the overall system. Energy in living systems is indeed coded information, whether it is a rock, a bird or the vegetarian pizza you ate."

My twisted mind response to the above: Bruce's statement reminds me of Julian Barbour's statements about `spaces' (Julian does not believe `time' exists - just spaces and actualization) and John Joe McFadden's comments about quantum information organizing beneath the event horizon - and, to me, combining BOTH of those thinkers - in Bruce's statement - says mucho.

Next Duensing post -------> `Part One: The "Non Human" And The Human Among Us' - sub-titled - `The Naturalism of The Paranormal' - http://materialintangible.blogspot.com/2010/04/part-one-non-human-and-human-among-us.html and, Bruce's first statement: "Many have been puzzled when I refer to the naturalism of the paranormal, in that there is a more global point of view of a complex system, beyind whether it be this or that aspect of a differentiated process, all roads may indeed lead to Rome, regardless of whether or not we have tricked ourselves into thinking a map of the known world exists or does not exist. This is a story about soil and of seeds planted in the firmament. It is also a story of a gestation arising from the things that go bump in the night, the creature under your bed, the phantom in your closet."

I have a feeling that Bruce, like myself, thinks that `normal' human consciousness `looks' at a `common consensus' that we have all agreed upon. BUT, that the actualization process itself - also includes the `non-consensus' that may or may not be at the threshold of human perception potential. --- I'll leave it at that.


Finally, I hope that Bruce will find this post to be worthy of his fine world of word and concept play which is enjoyed by many individuals of a wo-wo orientation. Like myself. Like Barf Stew.


Lastly, MAKE SURE to visit Bruce's site and bookmark it for the mind stimulation it will bring to you. Perhaps I can convince Bruce to an internet exchange of ideas online for others to read - if so - I'll put the interview on my blog called The Heavy Stuff.
