FROM OZMA TO WONDERLAND, THE KEY IS OUT THERE AND RIGHT HERE, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE...

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Friday, September 24, 2004 -- Before leaving this morning for a free Broadway musical concert at Grand Central Station's Vanderbilt Hall, I grabbed a book I read 14 years ago, "OUT THERE: The Government's Secret Quest for Extraterrestrials" (Simon & Schuster, 1990) by Howard Blum, a best-selling author and award-winning former journalist for The New York Times.

On the subway train I browsed through it, noting my red pen underlined parts, and soon noticed "Alice In Wonderland" in italics in an paragraph on page 138 which was not underlined. Remember, I read this in 1990, before S.P.A.C.E and a full ten years before the "WOW! Contact!" came into my life.

The "Alice" reference appears in Chapter 18 in Part IV "The Order of the Dolphin" about SETI and SETI's researchers and methods, and here Blum is discussing SETI's next phase at that, beginning in 1992 (two years after the book was published), and he begins discussing Dr. Frank Drake's now outdated pioneering search for signals "out there" at Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia in 1960:

*** *** ***

From "OUT THERE" By Howard Blum....

"In Project Ozma, Drake searched two stars in seven weeks. In a millionth of a second NASA's SETI machines, running on their own, can capture more data than Drake did in his entire program. Drake's Ozma detector had one channel, one ten-thousandths of a megahertz wide. It could, in effect, listen to one cosmic radio station at a time.

"NASA's Multi-Channel Spectrum Analyzer, built by the Digital Projects at JPL, can tune into a wide portion of the cosmic radio dial and divide it, simultaneously, into ten million narrow channels of one wave per second. The soul of this new, ingenious machine is the SETI Engine, a silicon microchip, only about the size of a nickel, that is more powerful than a giant Cray-1 computer; it can perform eighty million arithmetic instructions per second.

"Next, after the signals received from space were sorted (or 'diced and sliced'; the Multi-Channel Spectrum Analyzer has been dubbed by SETI wags 'the Vega-Matic of the Stars'), they would, also in real time, be run through another series of signal detection tests. Specifically designed Background Estimation Convolution and Threshold hardware would sift with even greater precison through these ten million 'noisy' stations. By now, about four hundred billion data points would have been, with the help of a computer using a threshold detection algorithm formulated by the JPL's software group, reduced to about forty.

"Then 'Alice' would come into play. Alice, an allusion to the Cheshire cat in 'Alice in Wonderland,' whose smile (like many radio signals) comes and goes, is pulse detection software. It would guide the computer in its search though these forty 'prime' cosmic noises, rapidly cataloging and analyzing the sounds until it found precisely what it was hunting for --- a steady, artificial pulse: a message."

*** *** ***

THE CHESHIRE CAT'S SMILE DETECTED!!!

That's exactly what we got, although in a far different and more complex method of delivery, and presented through an "Alice in Wonderland" theme, as if "the deliverer" of "The Message" was aware of this "ALICE" element in NASA's SETI computer software programming, prepared by mathematicians!!! Remember, Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Dodgson, was a mathematics professor.

That is beyond astounding, beyond pure chance coincidence.

It "proves" our case of a highly strange but true and factual "WOW! Contact" which has been continually reinforced and guided through themed synchronicities and associations all along over and over again in a repeating pattern through our human experience, loaded with information through specific allusions, associations and inferences every step of the way "down the rabbit hole."

Once again from "OUT THERE"....

"Then 'ALICE' would come into play," wrote journalist Blum in 1990. "'ALICE,' an allusion to the CHESHIRE CAT in 'ALICE IN WONDERLAND' whose smile (like many radio signals) comes and goes, is PULSE DETECTION SOFTWARE. It would guide the computer in its search through these forty 'prime' noises, rapidly cataloging and analyzing the sounds until it found precisely what it was hunting for --- a STEADY, ARTIFICIAL PULSE: A MESSAGE."

"A MESSAGE" Is Being Received Right Now and Decoded..... in an unexpected way, through serendipity.....

ALICE: "Anywhere You Go, I Follow You"

By ANDERS VON BERGEN

Finland, Thursday, September 30, 2004 -- Despite all of the great syncs that have taken place in NY City, there has not been much going on here in Finland.

Well, until this day!

The third class that I work in was on a nature expedition, and I could go there with the children. Itis a place called Villa Elfvik, "Villa" means "MANSION" and "Elfvik" means "Bay of ELVES." It is a nature reservation area on the coast of Espoo, with a very old MANSION Museum, old and clean forest, and a bay with a bird observation TOWER, and the place is an important passage for MIGRATORY BIRDS.

Remember that LINTUKOTO ("Bird Home") was the distant mystical ISLAND somewhere "BEYOND THE MILKY WAY" where the MIGRATORY BIRDS were believed to flee each Autumn, according to the ancient beliefs of my people.

LINTUKOTO was also the home of small ELVES, and that the whole theme was a part of the ALIEN CONTACT novel that I was preparing during my stepping into tis "WOW! Contact" during EASTER 2003.

In the VILLA ELFVIK ("MANSION of the ELF BAY") area there is also a strange little pleasure house that is named JUPITER )an ORBIT RING PLANET) and there is a small metal PLANET model inside.

In this highly synchronistic place, the class I work with was doing a little research into nature, seeing for example small FROGS ("SAMMAKKO" in Finnish, referring to SAMPO/DARK TOWER). I was working with a group of three children.

One was a girl named ALICE. She is somehow attracted to me, and she wanted to do everything and go everywhere with me in the MANSION and the forest. She even said: "Anywhere you go, I follow you."

Well, this is not a wonder, as most kids in that class like me very much, but still this girl love for me is extraordinary. She wanted to hold my hand and wanted me to sit beside her on the bus on our way home.

And as the bus was approaching the school, she said: "I wish this journey would go on 'til the rest of my life!"

(As I am now writing this, I have ABBA's classic "I Have A Dream" -- yep, like Martin Luther KING Jr.'s famous speech -- playing in my stereo, and there is now pronounced, "If you see the wonder of a FAIRY TALE!!!")

During that endless bus journey back to school, ALICE told me about her friend's RABBIT that fled from the cage, and how they searched to get it back.

Now what a synchronistic day I had, with ALICE and RABBITS as the STEPPING STONE to this LINTUKOTO WONDERLAND of ELVES, having little sight of the DARK TOWER, too!

ALICE'S ORDER OF THE DOLPHIN

By ANDERS VON BERGEN

Finland, Monday afternoon, October 4, 2004 -- I just read the latest and most amazing updates in the new WOW! Contact page! Here is a connection that I find interesting. Harold writes:

"The 'ALICE' reference appears in Chapter 18 in Part IV 'The Order of the Dolphin' about SETI and SETI's researchers and methods."

Today in the school that I work in, the girl named ALICE whom I mentioned the other day, who told me about a RABBIT that she and her friend had been running after, and who told me mysteriously, 'Where you go, I follow you,' was preparing school work about DOLPHINS. All the kids had different animals or subjects in their work.

And for some reason, ALICE had chosen DOLPHINS. I only understood this concept after reading the quotes found on Harold's website.

WOW!

DOLPHIN COMMUNICATOR DR. JOHN LILY & THE COSMIC COINCIDENCE CENTER

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Monday evening, October 4, 2004 -- Anders von Bergen's amazing account above of "Alice and the Order of the Dolphin" gives a me chance to explain a bit about the significance of that "SETI club" of Frank Drake, Paul Horowitz, Carl Sagan and the other humans.

Dolphin research pioneer John Lily (1915-2001) won fame in the 1960s with his books "Man and Dolphin" (1961), "The Dolphin in History" (1963), "The Mind of the Dolphin: A Nonhuman Inelligence" (1967) and "The Center of the Cyclone" (1972), among other books later, including "Deep Self" about the "Tank Isolation Technique." His books inspired the movies "The Day of the Dolphin" and "Altered States."

In his second autobiolography, "The Scientist: A Metaphysical Autobiography" (Ronin Publishing, Berkeley, California, 1997 -- updated from the first edition in 1988), Dr. Lily, a pioneer in biophysics, neurophysiology, electronics, computer theory and neuroanatomy, discusses "communication with etxraterrestrials and the imperitive of dolphin/human dialog," the book backcover states.

SYNCHRONICITY is a major element of that ETI communication, achieved in isolation tank episodes, and Dr. Lily describes his experiences in his life -- and the lives of other people who interact with him --with what he calls E.C.C.O., the "Earth Coincidence Control Office," the local component of the Cosmic Coincidence Center.

An important step in moving this forward is what we have done, in England, in Finland and here in NYC: Becoming active participants in the synchronized communication and dialog in altered states of consciousness whch is a natural part of a Cosmic Wonderland. Only we do it without any of Lily's techniques to achieve that interaction!

In his own experience, this is how Dr. Lily's book describes it: "He began to call this the Extraterrestrial Reality Theshold on which his observer/operator become involved as a participant."

There is much in parts of Dr. Lily's book, which I bought in October 2000, that relates to the methods of how our own experiencers unfold, which I cannot get into now except for this summary. In the meantime, explore Dr. Lily's website below, along with what he writes about the ETI-human agents' Earth Coincidence Control Office (and thank you child Alice for what you conveyed to Anders!):

BETTY IN WONDERLAND

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Monday afternoon, October 4, 2004 -- "The Andreasson Affair" book series, five in all by Raymond Fowler, plus his autobiography "UFO Testament: Anatomony of a UFO Abductee," are among the most exhaustive investigative work in the field of close encounter research ever, richly illustrated by detailed artwork.

The chronicling of "The Andreasson Affair" (now being re-studied by a few of us in S.P.A.C.E.) is worth a major movie or TV mini-series, I think, to reach a wider public audence. And an illustrated companion volume of Andreasson's artwork and drawings would be worthy of a sixth Andreasson book!

Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the late astronomer and UFO researcher, writes this in his Introduction to "The Andreasson Affair" (Prentice Hall, 1979):

"Fowler is to be complimented on his perservance in the investigation of this case of very high 'strangeness.' It leads down many paths that make ALICE'S WANDERINGS IN WONDERLAND pale by comparision." (page 9-- Bold emphasis ours.)

So, from the very beginning here, there is an Alice In Wonderland association. It should also be noted of a FINLAND connection, which links to the country of ANDERS VON BERGEN:

"Betty was born on January 7, 1937, at Fitchberg, Massachusetts to Waino and Eva Aho. Betty's father had immigrated from as a young child." His parents (he married a New England native) set up a New England dairy farm/

(Amazing synchronism RIGHT NOW: As I checked the TV for a moment, there was a video scene, at precisely 12:27 p.m., of the upcoming 5:00 p.m. WCBS News, showing a WILLIAMS Associated Food supermarket -- our Williams and 27 syncs again -- on the corner of Lafayette Street and Blecker Street in Greenwich Village, across from the block where WHITLEY STRIEBER once lived in New York City! Now, see how STRIEBER fits in with what I am writing about next!)

In Ray Fowler's "The Watchers II: The Secret Design Behind UFO Abduction" book (Bantam Books, 1990), with a Foreword by WHITLEY STRIEBER about the further investigations into the Betty Andreasson-Luca affair with all the rich "high strangeness" episodes, he tells of Betty's otherworldly trip into "A Crystal Forest" where everything -- the trees, birds, flowers, butterflies, -- seem to be made of crystal and all is in a state of suspended animation, until when Betty touches them and they then come to life, in full color.

Speculating upon the episode, recalled under a relaxation technique, Fowler tries to understand how these images emerge, such as making a comparision to "Betty and Oz" followed by an "Alice in Wonderland" comparsion, described by him here:

BETTY THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS? By RAY FOWLER Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" are also well read classics. In the later, we find Alice walking in a beautiful garden with the Queen when suddenly she begins to run. "Just at this moment, somehow or other, they began to run. Alice could never quite make out, in thinking about it afterwards, how it was that they began: all she remembers is that they were running hand in hand, and the Queen went so fast that it was all she could do to keep up with her. And still the Queen kept crying, 'Faster! Faster!' And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air hardly touching the ground with their feet." We found Betty in a strange glasslike wonderland containing trees, butterflies, flowers and birds. She is walking with one of the Watchers when all of a sudden he tells her to run. Betty: "He's telling me to run! I've gotta run! [shouts in terror] I've gotta run....I don't know why I'm running in that path, and I keep on running and running." Both Alice and Betty are in a strange garden-like place accompanied by an entity. Both suddenly break into a tremendously fast run although neither is sure why they are doing so! Was Betty's experience intentionally or subconsciously influenced by Alice's experience in a garden? (--From "THE WATCHERS II: Exploring UFOs and the Near-Death Experience" by Raymond Fowler, Wild Flower Press, 1995, Chapter 11- Memories or Mirages? pages 201 and 202. Reprinted with the author's permission.) **************************** Fowler wisely leaves his question open. However, given our track record running "faster and faster" through an accelerating synchronistic Contact, could it be that there's some sort of symbosis of knowledge of "Wonderland" and "Looking Glass" being applied with intent on both sides to connect immense vastly diifferent realms and perspectives? In his Foreword to this book, Strieber, looking at the question of Betty's imagination as not being the source of her recalled accounts, writes that "her observations appear to be rich memories of another world, a world so fundamentally different from our own that it bears almost no relationship to it at all. And yet there is deep sense to it. It has, if you will, semantic coherence." (page xi)

OTHER WONDERLAND ASSOCIATIONS There are other "Wonderland' and "Rabbit" allusions in Fowler's books.and elsewhere. Our synchronistic "RABBIT Po UFOs" hops into Fowler's "The Andreasson Affair: Phase Two -- The Continuing Investigation of a Woman's Abduction by Alien Beings" (Prentice-Hall, Inc.1982) in this paragraph, after after telling of a hypnosis session and what it revealed: "The similarity of this event and its timing so close to my recording of Bob Luca's experience is incredible. In the past, my unusually objective, logical mind rebelled against the practcal significance of subjective deha-vu experiences, hunches, and synchronisms. However, the frequency of such incidents has changed me from a skeptic to an almost persuaded agnostic! "A few sentences ago, for example, I sudden;y left off writing to respond to a call of nature. On my way to the bathroom, I glanced at a TV program that my son David was watching. There was BUGS BUNNY talking to a dwarflike helmeted MARTIAN! "As I watched and chuckled about this coincidence, I suddenly got a strange feeling that I had seen this same BUGS BUNNY show somewhere before. Then it hit me. This was the identical BUGS BUNNY portrayed in one of the scenes of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' In this movie, Richard Dreyfuss suddenly awakens to the sounds of this very same TV show, which his daughter turned on." ("The Watchers II" last paragraph (broken up here) on pages 132-133, Chapter 8: "The Museum of Time." Bold emphasis ours,) In the late Dr. John Mack's second close encounter book, "Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters," (Crown Publishers, 19999) in a discussion of the invisible "missing" dark matter and dark energy composing about 90 percent of the universe being researched by cosmologists such as Dr. Rudy Schild, Dr. Mack tells of the work of theoretical physicist Michio Kaku: "The central point of this study concerns the appropriate way to seek to know about the invisible domain in this universe and the other postulated universes that appear to be inaccessible to our instruments. Natural science seems to balk at the edge of these mysterious realms. Kaku suggests no ways of knowing about them, expect perhaps to pass somehow from one universe or dimension to another via cosmic 'wormholes' that might connect them, rather like ALICE GOING THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. For a civilization that has mastered the power of the stars, Kaku suggests, 'this kind of fantastic maneuvering between dimensions' may seem like 'child's play' (1998)." -- (page 37, When Worldviewes Clash in "Passport" Chapter 2: "How Do We Study Something Like This?" -- bold word emphasis ours.)

"THE BLUE BOOK" & "PROJECT WONDERLAND CHRONICLES" The following dialogue took place during a close encounter in "an alien realm" as recalled by the witness: "And what about that blue book there," Betty repeated. "Is that for me?' "For a time," Joohop answered. "What's this all about?" "Because of love. It's all about love. MAn seeks to find out about our place. . . our ships. . . our knowledge." "What about that book over there?" "It is given to you for a while to grasp as much as you might grasp from it. There is writing there that will be discerned only through the spirit. And it's the writing of light. It can be understood only through the spirit. The other writing that is upon that is for man to seek and find out. There are formulas, and riddles, and poems, and writings --- for man to understand nature, for he, too, is nature. He is formed from love, and love is the answer for man." "Why is it man does not seek love all the tme, Joohop?" Betty wondered. "Why is it?" "Beacuse man has separated himself. He has become dual --- separation, duality. He has formed that other side. He has made it to happen. It was all good at one time. Even his choice was good at one time. He has separated it. Even in love there is separation. Betty, follow me." ******************************** NOTE ON THIS EXCERPT by Harold Egeln This conversation is excerpted from "The Andreasson Affair" by Raymond E. Fowler [Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1979], and reprinted with the author's permission, from page 129 in "Chapter 8- Quazgaa's Farewell" The book, the first in the Andreasson series of five books, recounts a recalled experience that the subject had during a "Trip to an Alien Realm" after being taken by "univited visitors" in 1967. She was given "The Blue Book," which she had "for a time" before it was taken, unlike Betty Hill who was given "a book" during her 1961 encounter, then told by others that she could not have it despite her pleas to keep it. Several encounter interfacers have been shown similar "books of light" or other books recalled consciously, or in dreams or by other means. Is what you read here a kind-of "Blue Book" co-authored by an unknown intelligence and us? At the essence of the Andreasson book series by Ray Fowler is a decoded "MESSAGE," which Fowler attempts to decipher, as we do here with our particular "MESSAGE" in our interactive "WOW! Contact." It appears that at the heart of many close encounters there may be a "MESSAGE" in its INFORMATION, (like those possible "Cosmic FedEx Packages" ETI space sprobes speculated about by scientists recently in the "Nature" Science magazine, told about here recently) with many close encounter witnesses, as individuals or in groups, getting their "Messages." ALICE (as the movie Amanda) in Portland, ALICE in Finland right now, ALICE in SETI's computer software, and ALICE in Wonderland, "ALICE" is truly EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME.

IT'S LIKE THE CHESHIRE CAT: "No. No. I know what it is. It's like the CHESHIRE CAT in ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Ah, I don't have to be afraid of that. It disappeared, too, and only the eyes remained. That's all right. I am not afraid." -- Barney Hill from Dr. Benjamin Simon's tape, as he describes the eyes of his abductors in September 19, 1961 incident, from "The Interrupted Journey" by John Fuller,1966

"ALICE IN WONDERLAND" MAKES NEWS HEADLINES!

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Monday, October 4, 2004 -- "Alice In Wonderland" made the front page of a major city newspaper here today. Not our "WOW! Contact" Wonderland Adventures, of course (which is not "news' to my journalist colleagues), but the classic book.

"The New York Post," the city's oldest newspaper dating back to 1801, has been offering its "Family Classic Library" every Monday through Christmas time and today it was Lewis Carroll's book, shown between the newspaper's masthead and big headline story. Last week it was Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." A redeemable coupon inside The Post and an affordable amount of money buys the book at selected local news stores.

That is perfect timing with all the "ALICE SYNCS" happening now. Today is also the 47th anniversary of the world's first space satellite, Sputnik I, launched into Earth orbit by the old Soviet Union on this day in 1957, beginning the Space Age.

Today, too, is the day in the Mojave Desert here in America that a privately launched space rocketship, SpaceshipOne, rocketed 70 miles into space on its third brief suborbital flight since June, winning the $10,000,000 X-Prize and inaugrating a new era of passenger space travel.

Astronaut Gordon Cooper, one of NASA's seven original Mercury astronauts who orbited the Earth for a day and a half in May 1963, and later flew into space in the Gemini program, died today. He was born in 1927. Years after his spaceflights, beginning in the 1970s, Cooper talked openly about UFO reality and discussed that, relating his own knowledge, in his autobiography "Leap of Faith" in the late 1990s.

And today is also the 75th birthday of Dr. John E. Mack, who was killed a week ago tonight when hit by a car in London, who we miss terribly. There's a feature story on Dr. Mack and his influence on S.P.A.C.E. in the Autumn issue of the S.P.A.C.E. EXPLORERS CONTACT JOURNAL.

WOW! A LATE MONDAY MESSAGE FROM FINLAND By HAROLD EGELN NYC, Monday evening, October 4, 2004 -- After entering the above account, I closed shop for the evening, set to get ready to rest and then make dinner. Then I saw another e-mail from Anders in Finland. The hair on my arms stood up when I saw his message to "see the DOLPHIN connection to ALICE's ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND" and he followed that with the link below that includes a paragraph from the DOLPHIN BOOKS Edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" on a website called "ALICE's ADVENTURES EVERYWHERE." Those are the VERY WORDS, except for the word "Adventures," I wrote in the account on "The Blue Book" of Betty Andreasson, preceding the "Alice in the News" report.... BEFORE I saw Anders' latest message!!!! Everything is IN SYNC. Perfectly! WOW!!!

WELCOME TO WONDERLAND

A BANNER DAY!

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Tuesday, October 5, 2004 -- Late this morning I had a late breakfast with a friend at Scotty's Diner, a longtime favorite coffee shop on Lexington Avenue above 39th Street. Soon after we boarded a downtown M103 bus, and as we came to the next block right after Scotty's, I saw a huge blue banner strung outside a building with the bold letter words, over 25 feet in length:

"WELCOME TO WONDERLAND"

Now that's making it obvious and BOLDLY getting THE MESSAGE across!!!

Startled by this unexpected sight, I noted quickly, as the bus sped away, that apparently it was the announcement of a new hotel being placed inside an apartment building. I said nothing to my friend, too stunned by this.

It's like living inside a bizarre science fiction novel.... only this is all too real, --- a true life Alice Adventures in Wonderland or real life Harry Potter wizardy or all-too-real Philp K. Dick VALIS story with actual places and actual people in actual circumstances, happening right now with us!!!

When I came home, I saw this latest report by Anders:

A "WOW!" CONTACT IN CYCLES

By ANDERS VON BERGEN

Finland, Tuesday, October 5, 2004 -- Yes, we are in perfect sync!

The Cotact seems to work in a cyclical manner -- parts of the cycle are with less intense communication, and then there are those with EXTREMELY intense response, which seems to be the case now again. I feel like each cycle is stronger than the previous one.

See, if I was told a year ago that there will be a time that I meet a girl named ALICE who tells me about running after a RABBIT, and who makes DOLPHIN connections, and with all those artistic circumstances like the "MANSION of the ELF BAY" with the connections to LINTUKOTO and WONDERLAND -- then that practically took me into this WOW! Contact, -- I'm sure I wouldn't have believed it.

But now this is VERY REAL, and with PERFECT TIMING and artistry in CONNECTION to what is going on here in NYC!

Each cycle seems to be stronger because now there is SO MUCH stuff in the air: the SYNC MOVIE ("What The Bleep! Do We (K)now!?") that Harold wrote about, the new possible SETI MESSAGE, the annual day of different SPACE/UFO oriented people and occasions, etc.

Which brings me to the idea of the COMMUNICATION entering in CYCLES, each CYCLE being bigger than the previous one.

I watched the movie "ARMAGEDDON" yesterday on TV. In that movie there is an idea that an asteroid is on its way to crash into the Earth. The heroes are the astronauts who are sent to the asteroid to push it away with explosives to change it from its collision course with the Earth. I got shivers as I watched the movie, as I felt that a similar huge event is happening to the planet RIGHT NOW, as "They" are coming.

It also reminds me of a strange UFO dream that I had at the age of nine, the same age of "my" ALICE here in Finland!! In that UFO DREAM there was a HURRICANE that exploded, and from the inside there landed a huge FLYING SAUCER.

HURRICANE/WHIRLWIND are like ROUNDS WITHIN ROUNDS; SPIRALS at each CYCLE. Oh yes, we are living in IMPORTANT times!

FROM THE MAGIC KINGDOM OF NEPTUNE: ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDERWATER

By ANDERS VON BERGEN

Finland, Thursday, October 7, 2004 -- I visited Dr. John Lily's home page regarding DOLPHINS and COSMIC COINCIDENCES, and found the material extremely relevant. Our undersea friends are a perfect example of an "alien" intellience. I also loved Dr. Lily's ideas of higher beings watching over human evolution. Yes, this WOW! Contact is amazing proof of Dr. Lily's theories.

Now, let me explain what happened today.

In the school we had a story writing exercise in the Finnish class, and the children were told to write an adventure story which takes place UNDERWATER.

My ALICE wrote her story very quickly, and wanted me to read it every now and then during the class, as she was writing it. I was surprised to find out how skillfully and talentedly she wrote it.

ALICE's story told about a girl who WISHED she would turn into a MERMAID. She asked her mother to change her into one, a boon her mother could not, of course, grant her.

But during the following night a FAIRY GODMOTHER appeared and made a spell, turning the girl into a MERMAID. The next morning the girl woke up after hearing a soft voice whispering her name. She opened her eyes and found herself being UNDERWATER as a MERMAID. The voice had been spoken by some fish.

This is as far as ALICE had written her story, and we must be patient to wait to see how the adventure will continue.

So, what we have here is ALICE here in Finland coming up with a story of a GIRL turning into a MERMAID, a HUMANOID-LIKE INTELLIGENT creature living UNDERSEAS.

We have here the FAIRY GODMOTHER-BLUE FAIRY CONNECTION ("A.I." movie scenes in CONEY ISLAND), if you all remember!

We also have a subtle connection to UFO CONTACT, as at least here in Finland there are known UFO CONNECTIONS in which the experiencers have told about waking up in the night into the experience of hearing some ALIEN voice callng his or her name.

We again find the UNDERSEAS-DOLPHIN CONNECTION highlighting its significance. According to the DOLPHIN BOOK EDITION publication's home page ("ALICE's ADVENTURES EVERYWHERE") LEWIS CARROLL first named his story "ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDERGROUND."

Now it seems that we are enjoying "ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDERWATER"!!!!

FLYING SAUCERS OVER MERMAID ISLAND IN CONEY ISLAND

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Friday, October 8, 2004 -- Now, Anders wrote the above account yesterday without any knowledge of my recent discovery, a week ago, of a MERMAID-CONEY ISLAND-UFO Connection! Since I did not enter it until NOW....

Last Friday I happened to think of famous American folk singer Woody Guthrie ("This Land Is Your Land"), who was born in Brooklyn and died in the late 1960s, and his song about FLYING SAUCERS, virtually unknown until several years ago. In the late 1990s, I believe, there was a feature article in The New York Times about his song "MY FLYING SAUCER," which I clipped then. Since I could not find that article, I searched the Internet.

Looking at sites o the Net, I was startled to learn that the "MY FLYING SAUCER" is the second song on a record album of Guthrie songs sung and played by legendary BRITISH singer Billy Bragg titled "MERMAID AVENUE, Vol. II."!!!!

MERMAID Avenue is a main avenue, along with Coney Island and Surf Avenues, in CONEY ISLAND, the place where this WOW! Contact opened-up in June 2000 between here and England with GARY's WOW! Insight with the British TRIANGULAR LODGE (of the 1590s) and MY FLYING SAUCER sighting of SEVEN UFOs over CONEY ISLAND in September 1995!!!!!

CONEY ISLAND is the site of the colorful, wild and zany MERMAID Parade held every year in June since 1982, led by KING NEPTUNE.

I read Ander's e-mailed account last evening, and was very impressed with the DOLPHIN and UNDERSEAS connections he made with his real-life, nine-year-old ALICE in FINLAND writing a story about a MERMAID and a FAIRY GODMOTHER, like the BLUE FAIRY of the Pinocchio story in the 2001 movie "A.I.-Artificial Intelligence" and the CONEY ISLAND UNDER WATER scene!

But it wasn't until NOW that I realized why I was compeled to search out Woody Guthrie's song "MY FLYING SAUCER" and then I stumbled across the unexpected MERMAID Avenue Connection.

Also, the "MERMAID Avenue Vol. II" album cover photo features a CAT, reminding me of the CHESHIRE CAT from WONDERLAND, as you will see on a link below.

This is truly SPOOKY (in a good way), demonstrating once again an apparent direct telepathic link between myself here and Anders in Finland, with his ALICE, apparently orchestrated by the "COSMIC COINCIDENCE CENTER," as Dr. John Lily calls it!!!!

AND..... Woody Guthrie is the Father of famous singer ARLO GUTHRIE (whom I saw and heard sing a song about a TRAIN -- "The City of New Orleans" -- at Woodstock in 1969).

And what was the song and, later, the movie that made Arlo Guthrie famous? Why, of course, it's....

"ALICE's Restaurant"!!!!

"A NEW TRICKSTER IN TOWN"

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Friday, Octoer 8, 2004 -- I clipped an article with the above headline, found today as I went through The New York Times of Sunday, October 3, 2004, with the above title. The feature article is by Christopher Ketcham and appeared on page CV 9 of The City Section of The Sunday Times.

Below I have relevant excerpts to our TRICKSTER and APRIL FOOLS Themes of the WOW! Contact mentioned in the article. The coyotes are recent additions to New York City, sven of which have been counted, coming down the PUTNAM Trail in suburban Westchester County north of the city. Now, from the article:

*** "On a frigid January day earlier this year, a coyote was seen bounding among the ice floes on frozen Rockaway Inlet, near Breezy Point...

"Officer Kurt Ziel of the Park Police, who was first on the scene, was impressed. 'Man,' he said. 'A coyote made it across Brooklyn?'

"Exactly what route the coyote traced to end up on a Rockway ice floe is uncertain, but scientists who study the creature have found increasing evidence that more and more coyotes are becoming New Yorkers. Some American Indians referred to the coyote as TRICKSTER, and the description speaks to a quality that has helped them adapt to unfamliar circumstances.....

"The trickiest New Yorker coyote on record was a 43-pound male named Lucky Pierre who in 1999 led reporters, police officers, photographers, park rangers, tourists, and at least one helicopter on a chase across Central Park.

"Shortly before making his madcap debut on APRIL FOOL'S DAY, Pierre was sighted at Riverside Park near 145th Street....

"By the morning of APRIL FOOL'S DAY, Pierre had been spied seemingly EVERYWHERE in Central Park...

"Pierre now lives in a grassy pen at the Queens Zoo, where are age 7 he is the dominant animal, among three other coyotes from NEW ORLEANS."

The artcle mentions "Wile E." - a reference to the Looney Tunes Wile E. Coyote character. It was in a 1952 cartoon titled "OPERATION RABBIT" that Wile E. Coyote built a makeshift FLYING SAUCER to abduct... BUGS BUNNY.

"ALICE IN THUNDERLAND" By ANDERS VON BERGEN Finland, Friday, October 8, 2004 -- COMING SOON!!!

ALICE IN THUNDERLAND

By ANDERS ON BERGEN

Finland, Friday, October 8, 2004 -- ALICE's ever-fresh adventures in the quantum hyper-universe continue!

This Friday evening I was spending time in my student ALICE's home; she and her mother had invited me to visit their home. Near the evening's end, we watched the Cartoon Network, where first came on some "Tom and Jerry" show in which Tom got a MAGICIAN'S HAT and pulled out a WHITE RABBIT who plled out a second WHITE RABBIT and then a THIRD WHITE RABBIT!!

Then the topmost WHITE RABBIT took out a wooden HAMMER and hit Tom on the head with it! I found that synchronistic. After a cat-and-mouse game there came some old Looney Tunes cartoon with WILE E. COYOTE and the Road Runner. Of course, the Looney Tumes head star figure is BUGS BUNNY himself.

On a small dresser in ALICE's room there was a plastic DOLPHIN figure and besides it two RABBIT figures.

ALICE, who is nine, told me that when she grows up, that she either wants to become a DOLPHIN trainer (yes, just like DR. JOHN LILY!!!!) or a FIREFIGHTER (yes, one of the ALIEN SCREEN MEMORIES!)

ALICE asked me to visit her every Friday evening, and I promised to try, as more syncs are quite expected to take place in the near Future!

After this sweet evening with this sweet girl and her sweet family, I came home, On our dining room table there was opened a newspaper, the "Hulvudstadsbladet" ("Newspaper of the Capital") the largest Swedish-language daily newspaper in Finland. (In Finland we have two official langages, Finnish and Swedish.) And I accidential saw a headline: "ALICE I DUNDERLAND."

It is Swedish for "ALICE IN THUNDERLAND." The article was a short movie review about the new "Resident Evil Apocalypse" that came out into theaters here in Finland today. See, the hero in the movie is named ALICE.

Yes, the day was a new THUNDER STRIKE of ALIEN CONTACT, giving more and more amazing WATERTIGHT PROOF of CONTACT with an EXTRA-TERERESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Needless to say, the way that this develops just takes my breath away!!!

A RABBIT'S FOOTNOTE by HAROLD EGELN: The review "ALICE IN THUNDERLAND" was a headline in a review in the "New York Daily News" about the movie which appeared in the same edition which reviewed the "What's the Bleep! Do We Know!?" movie, as both opened on the same Friday a month ago here in New York City.

SYNCHRONICITY SPACE, UNDERGROUND, UNDERWATER

By HAROLD EGELN

New York City, Saturday, October 9, 2004 -- I celebrated Leif Ericson Day with a meandering two hour long walk this afternoon through Greenwich Village, my favorite neighborhood in the city.

On West 13th Street, I decided to stop into the SYNCHRONICITY SPACE Fine Arts Gallery.

I visited and told about the gallery here a year ago, when I met its founder and artist John Smith-Amato, and we discussed synchronicity, and then having a RABBIT sync when he mentiioned that a photographer who will have an exhibit there has a mother who is a former Playboy BUNNY.

I walked down the stairs and said "hello" to a lovely blonde haired woman sitting behind the greeting desk. She had what sounded like a Swedish accent. Then looked at the current exhibit by artist Jason Stewart. I was surprised when I noticed that most of the paintings feature FISH on plates (like SAUCERS) or tables, such as "Fish and Apple on a Table" (2003).

I then picked up some post cards with the artwork, and a rochure from the SIGNATURE Theatre Company. Opening it there was a plush toy brown RABBIT doll inside an opened suitcase, for a play called "The Baltimore Waltz."

So, here we have our recent UNDERWATER Theme again, with our RABBIT, and the word "SIGNATURE" Theatre ("Signature" being the term that SETI scientsts use for a true "WOW!" Signal... And all of this meaningfully placed inside the SYNCHRONICITY SPACE Art Gallery!! Too much!

After viewing the artwork, I talked quite awhile with the blonde haired woman. She said that she was from Sweden and that I looked Swedish, asking my name. "Egeln," I said. "Is that Swedish?" she asked, and I said, "No, it's German and there's a small German city with the family name." And she said there is a common origin of Germans and Swedes, and I said many people think I look Scandinavian.

"My name is like the Spegeln Movie Theater in Stockholm," I said, referring to the "Looking-Glass" (Spegeln) cinema there. "Oh, I've been there many times. I'm from Stockholm." And we talked about movies, like Ingmar Bergman's.

"My mother, who's Finnish, is actually from Helsinki and I still have relatives in Espoo. Swedish is a second language in Finland," she told me.

Bong! Now, I thought, we have a direct link in SYNCHRONICITY SPACE to FINLAND and ANDERS VON BERGEN!! Too much!

SKY CAPTAIN'S RABBIT By HAROLD EGELN New York City, Monday, October 11, 2004 -- Today I saw the new sci-fi movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." It takes place in a more futuristic 1939 New York City and world, as if in an alternative universe or dimension. It is about superhero Sky Captain's efforts to trackdown a phantom mad scientist responsible for using giant robots to steal theworld's energy supplies, and the movie, done in an artistic style, includes scenes of "The Wizard of Oz" and other 1930's references, such as Buck Rodgers, and the movies "King's Row" and "Lost Horizon." Sky Captain's adventures takes him to Shanghri-La and even UNDERWATER, as his airplane can move in water. While UNDERWATER, Sky Captain (played by Jude Law) is talking with passenger, reporter Polly Perkins (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) about another woman friend, Franky Cook (Anjeline Jolie), and he says about an adventure with her that she told him: "Protect the RABBITS! Protect the RABBITS!'" The movie has nothing at all to do with RABBITS. But here they are mentioned, twice, in a scene which takes place UNDERWATER, fitting in with perfect timing and context with our current UNDERWATER theme!!! [Also, in the previews before the movie, there was a preview of a new movie "FINDING NEVERLAND" about the life of "Peter Pan" author J.M. Barrie, played by Johnny Depp.]

KING NEPTUNE AS HUMPTY DUMPTY On Friday night, after entering the latest accounts on the Mermaids and Trickster Coyote, just as I was closing out of this webpage and turning off the Web TV unit, I heard something fall in my living room. What fell off a shelf atip a bookcase, out of the hundreds of collectable toy items on my shelves, book cases and tables, was my rubber figurine of KING NEPTUNE, with two rubber frogs!!! This was not planned, but it happened, just like Dr. Carl Jung's synchronicity with a patient's dream of a scarab and the scarab-like creature on the window! I have KING NEPTUNE set among toy rubber figurines of various water creatures including DOLPHINS. Neptune is part fish, like a mermaid, with a crown and a pitchfork. This fall of NEPTUNE is truly remarkable!!!

ALICE'S QUANTUM TEA CUP & FLYING SAUCER AUTOMAT

By HAROLD EGELN

Alice is strolling along Submuloc Avenue in Wonderland and spots the "Alice's Quantum Tea Cup Automat" off East-West 27th Tao Path, next to the Submuloc Looking-Glass Ozma Shoppe.

"Curious," she mutters gently. "How far down this rabbit hole do you want to go?" says a wonder-boy with a Portland tee-shirt, playing with a yo-yo with the words Ying on one side and Yang on the other.

She first stops into the Ozma Shoppe and meets its propieter, a Dr. Frank Drake. selling more powerful optics and Multi-Channel Spectrum Analyzer radios. "44 years in business and still searching for the answer to 'Are We Alone?'"

"My dear man, have you ever had a cup of tea at the cafe next door?" says a fading cat's smile on a nearby shelf. "Oh, that's my Schrondinger's Cheshire Cat. Never quite know whether he's here in my shoppe or at Alice's Quantum Tea Cup Cafe next door, you know," Dr. Drake says to Alice. "Oh, no, I never have tea there. The place is too far out there, too much dark matter tea, about 90 percent of their tea, I think!"

Outside Alice hears: "I'm late! For a very important date! It's that darn missing time bit again, a whole hour just gone like that!" She sees the White Rabbit looking at his pocket watch, running past the old sundial outside and down the stairs of Alice's Quantum Tea Cup.

Ever the explorer, Alice ruffles her fluffy dress and steps down the tea shop's steps, thinking of Alice's Tea Cup shop and cafe in the Big Apple. Finding no door, she steps through a Looking-Glass, with the word "WOW!" spelled out in huge rainbow coloured letters.

Inside she hears the voice of Frank Sinatra singing, "I got the world on a superstring, sittng on a quantum rainbow, got that superstring around my..." Lingering, Alice peeks in, seeing the Mad Hatter singing the tune in Sinatra's voice.

There are many tables at this place, all over on the floor, walls, ceiling, in mirrors or floating on air, each with a Cadbury chocolate mini-egg with the words "Eat Me" and a Nesquik Bunny chocolate drink with the words "Drink Me" on them.

Each table has the same White Schrondinger Rabbit (they have name tags, even though some seem alive and others seem dead, like that darn cat!) on one side.

On the other sides of each table are different folks. For instance, David Bohm, Lewis Carroll, Anne Beatty-Schmidt, William Arntz, Paul Tripp, David Bowie, Julian May, Stephen King, Donnie Darko, Quazgaa and Joohop, Wolfgang Pauli, Fred Alan Wolf, Anders von Bergen, Enrico Fermi, Dr. Ellie Arroway (oh, everyone has big name tags, that's how she knows), and so many others stretching into infinity, all part of "Alice's Quantum Tea Cup...."

(NOTE: This new Alice Wonderland mini-fable, part of a series throughout the "Project Wonderland Chronicles," will be complete sometime between now and Halloween, the Time of the Trickster with its Treats.)

ALICE'S RESTAURANT IN WONDERLAND

"You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant..." sings Arlo Guthrie in his famous song, as his father Woody Guthrie sang "My Flying Saucer" years before, synchronistically linked with our Coney Island UFO sighting, etc., through the Mermaid Avenue record album!

So here, once again, in this latest chapter of the Project Wonderland Chronicles with its bizarre high strangeness and its mix of SETI's pulse detection software and Order of the Dolphin, Barney Hill, Betty Andreasson's Looking-Glass expereinces, Underwater references, the Trickster Coyote, Mermaids, Alice in Finland, Wonderland, Synchonicity Space fish art, etc. connections and associations, we seem to have yet another MESSAGE, as these "Messages" appear to run in cycles, which Anders von Bergen observed.

PLEASE NOTE!!! This chapter and the preceding two chapters were somehow disabled by an unknown systems glitch, preventing direct access into the chapters' webpages. Please note a few of the glitch's affects in this chapter: The quote by Barney Hill belongs at the start of the chapter, introducing the opening SETI account. The links list about Trickster Coyote belong immediately after the Trickster Coyote account. The "King Neptune Fall" belongs right after the immediate Friday accounts mentioned there. The mention of Betty Andreasson-Luca's father, Mr. Aho, left out his home country, which is Finland. The new "Alice's Tea Cup Automat" story belongs in our next issue, where it will be completed as a Halloween story.
