In my last post I asked about the “missing time” episode in which the part about UFOs disappeared from my “State of the World address.” I wanted to figure out whether that was because of a glitch in the streaming software, or if it had been edited out later.
I have been reading/and listening to you for a long while but I just recently upgraded to paid. This commitment on my part has had a subtle impact on the way I experience your shares. I feel more in my integrity, I guess. It just feels better, more open, connected. A move toward how I want to be in the world. I appreciate how you chose to share all your content with payers and non-payers alike, in the spirit of the gift. It has enabled me to join you there. Thank you!
The internet--and YouTube--is perhaps more complicated in its structure and operation than most of us reading (or writing) here imagine it to be. It's quite possible that the live-streaming of the video followed differing pathways through the labyrinth (maze?) of distribution processes, such that some people experienced a disruption in the broadcast which others did not. That is, the glitch may have been "local" to one portion of the larger distribution system.
I'll also add that some people may have very imperfect memories of the event ... may have been distracted when the 55 seconds elapsed in black silence, or whatever it was. They may not have recalled the whole of the video because someone brought them a cheese sandwich and engaged them in a brief conversation. Or the doorbell rang, or the phone.
I tend to go with the most likely or plausible of explanations, first, knowing that very often I'll never know what actually happened or why.
But I've experienced things which were not possible on accordance with the mainstream worldview, mainstream science, etc. So I know that very weird things do indeed happen, and things which I have no idea how to explain!
I sent my mom a photo of a beach I was on the other day and she asked me if there was lightning. No, no lightning. And she responded that the live view of my photo showed flashing lights which definitely were not apparent to me on the beach. But low and behold there they are in the photo stream. Probably just a glitch in the way the live stream was trying to adjust for light…. But you never know really…
Well said! We create our own realities. It's time we take full responsibility for that fact and stop giving away our power to those who would use it to serve themselves at our expense.
This speaks to me. This is what is arising in me, as well:
"The collective mind of our society has been shattered into a million shards. People occupy completely separate realities. It is time to start piecing ourselves back together again. My intention is to help establish an island of coherency, a seed crystal of a new story-of-the-world and story-of-the-people. I won’t, or can’t, say what that story is. All I know is that the cohering force is called love."
i think that you are on the right track now. the reality we live in now is unsustainable. more people need to question everything and then intend and expect a better new normal.
@Charles, Your series of rants (inquiries? speculations?) brings to mind what Joseph Heller famously wrote in Catch-22: “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.” Best of luck sorting all this out in your head. We are hanging on every word.
Yes, I am with You, “All I know is the Cohesive force is Love” it is from the inner/outer as One that I consciously choose Love. Gratitude 🙏 for Knowing You and this Community, Charles.
"It was like picking up slivers of porcelain with a pincers in order to glue together a broken snuffbox. There were nothing but fragments; none had any connection with any of the others; none indicated the structure and color of the whole." Herman Hesse, Klein and Wagner read moments ago.
Yours are heavy-weight ponderings indeed. Not to give those totalitarian forces more power than they have. But how? As a coherent agent you suggest "love". I may add spirituality, suggesting a realm, a dimension beyond the dealings and wheelings of our fellow humans. That shared would offer a bond, a common ground, that can not be manipulated by those powers, which are constricted to the money-yield-war-control-deep-state dimension. The strange thing is, that the love-spirituality dimension does not seem to be mainstream, although, I feel, everybody has a longing for that. Anyway, once you have reached that, you never want to go back. And there are many, at least on their way. So, no complaints. And no need to offer "them" more power than they have.
It is probably not a collective mind but a single mind, playing hide and seek with itself. But we are not (only) the mind. We can choose whether to heed its suggestions or dismiss them altogether.
Thank you, Charles. Especially as AI will increasingly confuse what "reality" is, we will need to choose moment by moment, with eyes wide open to all possibilities, what point of view we want to stand in, what story we want to be building.
Brilliant! Brilliant! The total cohesive force is LOVE - for us to choose in each & every moment. ‘We’ are not separate. ‘I’ am creating the reality/world where Love is the foundation and see Everyone as myself. (Still working on this but the seed has sprouted). Thank you Charles.
I love this idea of holding both realities at the same time. There is very likely a rational explanation for the glitch - YouTube exists not as a single server, but is distributed through many nodes all over the world, so it could well be that some parts of the network went down briefly, and therefore some people were affected by the glitch but others were not (it also seems that the glitch happened on Youtube but not on Zoom). However the TIMING of the glitch is quite fascinating! Back when I first started researching the UFO/abduction phenomenon, I heard quite a few similar stories - technical glitches or strange sounds on the other end of the telephone line which would happen just when the topic of conversation would switch to certain taboo topics. And like you, the researchers were usually not quite able to find an entirely rational explanation. The hosts of one of the podcasts I was listening to at the time (Mysterious Universe) were fond of repeating the quote "when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back!" It seems that when you start to engage with The Phenomenon, you begin to get those mysterious signals that It has noticed you too.
I was watching you on Zoom and there was no freezing, no missing content. We already know that Youtube is notorious for censorship and has led the way in removing content, so I would think they are likely the guilty parties. If a person was watching live in real time on Youtube, that part might not have been censored yet. For people who joined after you began, the ridiculous censors may have already pushed the delete button.
That sounds the most reasonable answer. Do we know if the people who reported the freeze were watching in real-time? Now I have to ask, what is 'real' time!! :-)
Yes, algorithms rather than live human, we are talking ‘hungry ghosts in the machine’ set to harvest trouble for the humans. I think maybe also power issues/signal strength, who knows? It’s interesting and at the same time I don’t really care! Random mystery is good!
I mentioned in a comment on the original post re this I had heard a woman here in Australia have one of her videos on FB cut short in a way that changed its meaning from questioner to supporter and today I read that Warrior Creed had the first hour of an video interview, posted on Rumble with Julian Assange's former PR rep, go missing - Rumble are investigating but have no explanation as yet... 'something' is happening... as to what who can say...??
It does not make me feel like a helpless victim - it makes me feel focused and want on focus on the real world, on my local community... yes that is probably a love place.

Thank you for crystalizing my own thoughts. My handle used to be Jeff Alexander. Always good to see your comments, James!
Nice to see you Jeff.

I don't think it is people watching, but algorithyms (sp?) designed to pick up certain words.
Yes, algorithms rather than live human, we are talking ‘hungry ghosts in the machine’ set to harvest trouble for the humans. I think maybe also power issues/signal strength, who knows? It’s interesting and at the same time I don’t really care! Random mystery is good!
