Podcast Summary
Childhood experiences with paranormal: Childhood encounters with shadow entities sparked Mike Ricksecker's lifelong fascination with the paranormal, leading him to a career in research, filmmaking, and writing.
Mike Ricksecker's interest in the paranormal was sparked by personal experiences as a child, including encounters with shadow entities. These experiences led him down a path of research and investigation, eventually leading to a career in paranormal research, filmmaking, and writing. The experiences were not limited to one location, and some were more interactive than others. There were periods where he took a break from active investigation but remained interested. A pivotal moment came when he and his friends investigated a friend's house, where they encountered unexplained phenomena and Mike realized the depth of his fascination. Despite having no prior knowledge of paranormal investigation, he knew it would be a significant part of his life.
Time banks: Our perception of time is not linear; it's more like the banks that hold the water in place, allowing us to experience moments one at a time in a universe with constraints.
Our perception of time is not as linear as we may think. Using the analogy of a river, time is not the flowing water itself, but rather the banks that hold the water in place that cause it to move. This concept, known as the stack time theory, suggests that all moments in time exist simultaneously, and we can only experience one moment at a time due to the constraints of our universe. This idea can be further understood by considering a small town. When we drive through it, we experience it linearly, but when we fly over it, we have a spatial relationship with all the buildings at once. This shift in perspective highlights the importance of considering multiple dimensions and the ways in which they intersect with our experience of time. Additionally, the speaker shared their personal experiences of encountering the supernatural and the challenge of balancing belief and safety when their children reported similar experiences.
Static Time Theory: Static time theory proposes that all moments in time exist concurrently, allowing potential glimpses into other moments and interactions with entities from other dimensions
Time, as we understand it, may not be linear but rather an object in higher dimensional realities where all moments, past, present, and future, exist concurrently. This theory, called static time theory, suggests that moments resonate at the same frequency, allowing glimpses into other moments in time. These experiences could potentially explain phenomena such as ghosts, apparitions, or encounters with entities from other dimensions. Both internal human abilities and external entities are believed to interact with our dimension. The universe may hold more mysteries than we currently understand, and continued exploration and questioning are essential.
Frequencies and Perception of Otherworldly Beings: Our ability to perceive otherworldly beings depends on our individual resonant frequencies. The Alaska Triangle's unique energies can enhance this ability.
Our ability to perceive otherworldly beings and entities depends on our individual resonant vibrations or frequencies. When our frequencies match, we may catch glimpses of these entities, while others may not. This theory explains why some people see apparitions during investigations while others do not. The Alaska Triangle, with its unique magnetic and seismic activities, as well as solar energy, creates a powerful cocktail of energies that can make it a hotspot for unusual phenomena. People can enhance their abilities to perceive such entities with practice and refinement, just like improving any other skill.
Earth's magnetic pole shifts and human perception: During Earth's magnetic pole shifts, humans may have been more susceptible to sun's radiation and perceived supernatural phenomena, while our eyes have a wider peripheral vision that might explain shadow figures or other unexplained occurrences.
The magnetic poles of the Earth have been shifting and moving for thousands of years, and during these shifts, humans were less protected from the sun's radiation, leading to increased cave art and possibly even the belief in shadow figures or other supernatural phenomena. The human eye also has the ability to see more in the corners, or using averted vision, which might explain why some people report seeing things out of the corner of their eye that disappear when they look directly at it. Additionally, some theories suggest that shadow figures and aliens could be connected, as both are often reported in the same context. It's important to remember that what we don't see might not actually be gone, but rather beyond the limited range of our vision.
Shadow Entities: Shadow entities can take on various forms and origins, including human spirits, extraterrestrial beings, interdimensional entities, or projections of energy. Some are malevolent, while others may not be.
Shadow people, or entities often perceived as shadowy figures, can take on various forms and origins. They can be human spirits, extraterrestrial beings, interdimensional entities, or even projections of energy. Some are malevolent, while others may not be. For instance, the infamous Hat Man, a shadow figure often reported with various types of hats, can manifest differently in various situations. The Hat Man or similar entities could be one entity or multiple entities taking on the same form. The case of Albert Bender, who founded the International Flying Saucer Bureau and then shut it down due to encounters with shadowy, hat-wearing entities, adds to the complexity of these phenomena. Ultimately, each case should be evaluated individually, as the nature of these entities can vary greatly.
Time Travel Experiences: Despite varying individual experiences and interpretations, some people claim to have had time travel-like sensations during meditation, but maintaining a consistent meditative state can be challenging in adulthood.
Despite our human tendency to categorize and label things, including concepts like time travel, individual experiences and interpretations can vary greatly. The speaker shared a personal story of attempting time travel through meditation as a teenager, describing an unusual sensation of riding an undulating wave and feeling electrostatic energy before being jolted out of the experience. They later learned they may have been on the verge of having an out-of-body experience instead. The speaker also mentioned the challenges of maintaining a meditative state in a busy adult life, reflecting on how the ease of meditation as a child might have contributed to their experience. The conversation touched on various themes, including the complexity of human experiences, the role of meditation in time travel or projection, and the influence of media on personal beliefs and practices.
Time travel consequences: Traveling through time using a drug can lead to dangerous consequences if travelers die during their journey, causing their bodies to return to the present and potentially creating confusion and danger.
Key takeaway from the discussion with Mike Richards is the intriguing concept of time travel and its potential consequences. In the movie mentioned, time travel was achieved through the use of a drug, which sent individuals to different times and places depending on where they were when they traveled. However, if they died during their travels, their bodies would return to the present, causing confusion and potential danger in the real world. A particularly sad example involved an African-American man who took his dog with him and was sent back to the 30s and 40s in the south, facing a whole new set of challenges.
