Personal

I live on the flat edge of the Ozarks with my little girl Rykah (age 11 at Spring 2008), a Leo-on-fire budding fashion designer/singer waiting for the world to wow her. I have way too many cats. I have a garden that is too darn much work, but supplies tons of alliums, peppers and tomatoes each year. I'm missing only the white picket fence.

For those into this kind of thing, I have four planets incl. Sun in Virgo, three planets incl. Mars and Venus in Scorpio, Aries Rising, Taurus moon; my birthday is September 14. I don't know much about astrology but Nancy McMoneagle is the Real Deal in that field.

Interests: Organic gardening; low-carb eating; remote viewing, a type of psychic work; Interactive Meditation, a type of Inner Guide work; creative writing (both fiction and nonfiction); original music (via guitar and voice); weight lifting (on good days); and there'd be more but frankly that's already way more time than I have in a given day.

Blogs

I have several current blogs, none of which I keep up regularly. I don't link them all because my online identities are pretty separate, mostly so other 'respectable' stuff isn't badly influenced by the "weird psychic stuff". I mostly use Red Cairo for miscellany, dreams, remote viewing & psi stuff and philosophy, and Psiche for meditation, internal-interaction and nature-of-reality stuff. The former dojo blueblog and firedocs RV blog are both selectively archived at those. Oh yeah, and I suppose I could link The 8-Cat Garden blog here.

Websites

Several millennia ago in internet-time, I had a lot of different projects online, mostly for RV. This included websites, chat rooms, forums, discussion lists, and more. The only thing of just-mine still online for RV is the static archives of the Firedocs Remote Viewing Collection. (Well, and the RV Oasis/pjrv archives.)

Before that, in fact I finished it just as I heard about RV, I wrote a personal case study for a friend about a few weird years of my life replete with psi, visions, aliens, entities, and other assorted weirdness, called Bewilderness. Someday I may write a Book II for that of everything since (it ends at 11/1/95). I have a few excerpts from that plus some writeups from stuff that'd be in book II if it ever happens, archived on the firedocs site as my personal archives.

More recently, I had several remote viewing projects online done in tandem with a bunch of other people. The Ten Thousand Roads Remote Viewing and Dowsing Project and its RVwebForum are run by others now. The free Remote Viewing software for TKR, sponsored by the Dojo Psi, is pretty cool. (The dojo has an info site and a TKR site.) TKR @the Dojo Psi has the Viewer Studios (get targets, enter sessions if you like, get feedback); the RV Galleries (share your sessions, see what others share, comment); Taskerbot (manage tasking from many sources for yourself or viewers and friends, and more easily do online tasking independently, etc.); and the RVwebChat (a simple flash chat room).

I left the 'online world' before finishing half what I had planned alas. So many good ideas... so little time. Support TKR, they're a good cause.

I have a page where I talked about my decision to leave all this for a few years, and my views on RV practice, truth, etc. here.

Business

I work via internet and phone for a giant publishing corp in California. I do internet media project management for mostly the hard science academic disciplines. I've done this since the end of 2004. I like my current work. Eventually though, I hope to invest more time into writing, and be able to make a living writing books.

For the four years previous, I was a primary manager (and lead programmer) for a small dynamic online statistics course (which was bought by the big fish I now work for). For a couple years prior, I was working a contract for web design at Lockheed Martin. For several years before that, I worked on my own doing web design when I was pregnant and when my kid was a baby. (My firms were Paradigm Design (1995), then zMatrix (1997), then Science Horizon (1999).) For four years prior to that, I was a corporate officer (finance, marketing & admin) for a small but complex high-tech firm. A few years previous were spent as a multi-regional administrator at a company in the oil industry. A couple years prior to that I spent as a mid-level manager doing purchasing and running three shipping/receiving warehouses. I've often worked 2-3 overlapping jobs or projects at a time... I have always given tons of notice (often months)... and I have excellent recommendations everywhere.

I did about two years of college in southern coastal California where I grew up, but couldn't afford to finish and work two jobs to survive there too alas. I've spent more time on self-education on a variety of subjects than most people who have years to take out just for college do, so it doesn't bother me too much. Anybody can learn what they want if they're motivated, and nearly all my jobs have been word of mouth type references, and I've done ok.

I don't webmaster anymore officially. But I still technically hold the sites for Dr. Charles Tart, and Russell Targ, and Serious Kilowatt, and Dr. Joseph Felser, and Lisa Aschmann; I think I've successfully liberated Dr. Alan Elms to his own webmastering recently; the McMoneagles are barely-active online for quite awhile now; all my other clients have been moved elsewhere for some time. Well, of course, I still own (and originally built) dojopsi.com and all its dynamic remote viewing software, the dojopsi.info archive site, tenthousandroads.com, and firedocs.com (and its Remote Viewing site), but I'm not involved in those projects anymore.

I've been trying to divest myself of webwork for years and I can't believe I still have any at all. How can I miss it when it won't go away?

Special Interests

Religion/Philosophy: I actually studied theology from around age 15 or 16, for years, very intensely. In the past, I've been associated with some of my experiments of a sort, The Madonna Ministry (a new-age ministry of 'healers' with a Marian bent) and Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) (a magickal order associated with Thelema and Crowley), both of which are pretty odd and not for the mass public, for sure. I am really not religious--more a 'spiritual' than religious thing--and I'm not currently involved with anything. Except that my version of spiritual is more religious than many people's religion. I pray daily and often constantly. My philosophy best matches that of Jane Roberts as Seth (I recommend "The Nature of Personal Reality"), and my 'practices' best match that of Edwin Steinbrecher's model (I recommend "The Inner Guide Meditation"). In short, I believe that what is inside me, is reflected outside me, and that the "personal relationship" is basically the spiritual "technology" of "causing change in accordance with one's will" (creation of reality, aka 'magick').

Mental Stuff: It seems like a million years ago, I spent years obsessing on the subject of hypnosis, with related side studies in graphoanalysis, then grapho-therapeutics, then NLP, with on occasion a lot of focus on cult psychology and sociology. (Which might explain the churches above, haha. I was also a medical-model skeptic at one point, seems rather hard to believe now.) I'm in like the top 2% of suggestible subjects, or used to be anyway. From early childhood I was a consistent intentional lucid dreamer and had regular 'out of body' experiences, which I thought was perfectly normal for everyone. I did a lot of self-therapy with self-hypnosis that I cannot imagine being accomplished any other way, and I recommend it. It's a great induction for psi work as well, of course. I am fond of brain technologies that induce altered states as well (not like I need help), such as Hemi-Sync and Brain-Sync. I'm a science buff especially for anomalies, and am very interested in things like the plasma physics alternative to modern astronomy theory, pleomorphism, light-color effects on living systems, etc. And anything to do with the mind. Or with space. Or . . .
