If you have not seen my Youtube video ‘Gus Awakes; Evidence For a Psychic Connection Between a Man & His Dog’ please do so now; it’s less than 10 minutes.
Click here for Part Two, which archives all my video evidence for what Dr. Rupert Sheldrake terms ‘the extended mind.’ (‘Gus Awakes’ represents a small percentage of my footage.)
In my blog I present some of the photos that will be in my book, titled ‘The Art of the Boondock; A Photographic Journey’.
Part Two is intended for people who doubt either the veracity or implications of ‘Gus Awakes’ and need further evidence that ‘coincidence’ (or fraud) is not a factor in that which occurs between Gus and myself.
If you got something out of the video please consider subscribing to this blog. But if you’re not willing to ‘follow the evidence wherever it leads’ (take the italics seriously) don’t bother. It will not work out between us.
Who I Am & Why I Did It
I’ve been on the road with Gus since the summer of 2014, eight and a half years ago as I write. I’ve been blogging about the trip plus science/history and How The World Really Works (HTWRW).
I’m a writer/photographer retired from the screen trade (feature film and TV credits) and am currently working on a photo-driven book, a memoir of my travels and reflections.
I have three books in print, two of which sold to the movies, with John Cusack and Sean Penn involved: An autobiographical novel (Cusack) and a memoir (Penn); you can look up the details (IMDB, Amazon’s book section, or google me). My third book was almost (ahhh!) made into a mini-series by HBO. You can read it for free via the link in the sidebar. It’s a doozy.
I made a full length documentary film (a ‘filmed memoir’) titled Water Time; Surf-Travel Diary of a Mad Man, which played at film festivals in Berlin and NYC; it was well reviewed.
“Gus Awakes’ is evidence that Gus and I are connected via ‘the extended mind’ we all share; call it psychic, psi, telepathic, ESP, whatever, it is a real phenomenon. You’ve seen the video so you know this. Should know.
Yes, my coming book is photo-driven.
I’m doing this because the implications are, in my view — and in the view of scientists like Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and others (all considered ‘fringe’) — profound, regarding the nature of reality and the falsity of the materialist/reductionist worldview, which is held by more than 90% of the scientific community, i.e., those who purport to inform us on the nature of the Universe and of our place in it.
Deeper Implications
A question: What do all ‘name’ ‘science communicators’ have in common? Answer: They all presume that which should be at issue, i.,e., they see the ‘material’ world as primary and ‘consciousness’, if it exists at all, as ‘emergent.’ That’s right, if it exists at all. If you trust any of these ‘communicators’…
Michael Shermer, Lawrence Krauss, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox, David Attenborough, Michio Kaku, ‘The Science Guy’ (whatsis name with the dumb bowtie), Sean Carroll, Brian Greene, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett (all Neo-Darwinists), plus the late Christopher Hitchens and Carl Sagan. And on and on…
…if you trust them, and given that an aging ex-surf bum and his dog has proved them wrong if not outright delusional, consider revising your opinion.
Scientists that have a public mouthpiece — like the above names — believe the following (right from their source, Wikipedia):
This one represents a previous memoir titled In Search of Captain Zero.
The prevailing consensus in neuroscience is that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain and its metabolism. When the brain dies, the mind and consciousness of the being to whom that brain belonged ceases to exist. In other words, without a brain, there can be no consciousness.
Most of the above actually believe that consciousness, i.e., that which is you, is an illusion.
The few that avoid ‘illusion’ claim that whatever consciousness is, it exists solely in the physical brain, within the confines of the skull.
As I hope you realize, ‘Gus Awakes’ puts to bed either/both of these viewpoints. If this isn’t absolutely clear, my coming blog posts will make it so.
My dog Shiner, from the 1980s.
They call consciousness ‘The hard problem.’ Indeed. It’s not only ‘hard’ but all pervasive, meaning all the sciences are (profoundly) misled by their bedrock view that, in effect, what you saw in ‘Gus Awakes’ is impossible.
I am aware that my video(s) are not scientifically robust, but it (they) should get your attention with respect to the idea that it’s consciousness that is primary, not matter.
If you’ve gotten this far I’m going to ask you for help. I need you to help spread far and wide the link to ‘Gus Awakes.’ We need public pressure on the ‘science communicators’ (gatekeepers) to deal with my video. If they call it a fraud (which they will have to do since ‘coincidence’ is ruled out) I will challenge them by going to wherever they are (within reason) and duplicating ‘Gus Awakes’ in front of them. They will have to have agreed to then have me on their show (most have one) for a discussion/debate on the video and the proofs by scientists like Sheldrake and Radin that materialism is false.
My coming blogs will deal with ‘the hard problem’ plus the many other issues that mainstream science has got wrong. Or ‘not even wrong’, to quote physicist Wolfgang Pauli. A short list includes:
- The Big Bang (expanding space, dark matter & energy, black holes, and so forth).
- The nature of the sun and stars (what powers them). Possibly the nature of space itself.
- History of civilization, including extinction events you were never told about.
- Neo-Darwinism.
- Germ theory.
A campsite from my present road trip.
I’ll stop there. You may already be thinking ‘The Big Bang? What is he talking about? Everyone knows…’ Listen: Whenever you hear ‘Everyone knows’… odds are good you are about to hear an untruth.
I will show you via robust studies and experiments that none of the evidence for expanding space (the Big Bang) stands up to real scrutiny. Same goes for Neo-Darwinism (not evolution in the sense of change over time or even common ancestry, but rather the mechanism of it); ditto the nature of the sun/stars, which are not powered by giant internal fusion reactions. (Yes, I will show you the evidence!)
The view from a recent Oregon campsite.
Ever hear of The Younger Dryas or its accompanying Impact Theory? None of the aforementioned ‘science communicators’ have, in their podcasts/books/TV appearances mentioned these heavily evidenced, peer reviewed hypotheses. Why not? This is another question I’d like to pose to them, should we force them into a meeting.
I have never monetized a video and will not monetize ‘Gus Awakes.’ Although I need it to live and work, money is not a motivating factor in what I do, never has been. In the dozen years I’ve had my blog, I have only recently broken even.
If you found ‘Gus Awakes’ to be worthwhile/enlightening please subscribe to this blog, and considering helping me with a small donation, either one-time or monthly. I have been asking for $3.25 ‘gas money’ per month, which is now a borderline joke, given the rising cost of… everything. (It now costs me a dollar a mile to go anywhere.) But it’s still a help. See the link in the sidebar or click here.
I’m working on another book, a photo-driven memoir. Subscribe and I will keep you informed on its progress. (Meanwhile, you can click my other books’ Amazon links in the sidebar to see what I’ve written so far.)
One more thing for now. I have implied that we are being lied to about a lot… about nearly everything of any importance. Why?
A colleague of mine was privy to why. But who is she? Who is Barbara Honneger? Here is her cv:
Barbara Honegger worked as a researcher at the Hoover Institution before joining the Ronald Reagan administration as a researcher and policy analyst in 1980. Honegger headed Reagan’s gender discrimination agency review before resigning in August, 1983.
While working for Reagan she discovered information that convinced her that George H. W. Bush and William Casey had conspired to make sure that Iran did not release the U.S. hostages until Jimmy Carter had been defeated in the 1980 presidential election.
In 1987 Honegger began leaking information to journalists about the Reagan administration. However, it was not until Reagan left office that Honegger published October Surprise (1989). In her book, Honegger claimed that in 1980 William Casey and other representatives of the Reagan presidential campaign made a deal at two sets of meetings in July and August at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid with Iranians to delay the release of Americans held hostage in Iran until after the November 1980 presidential elections. Reagan’s aides promised that they would get a better deal if they waited until Carter was defeated.
In the years since October Surprise was published other sources such as Ari Ben-Menashe have come forward to confirm Honegger’s story. [end quote]
Barbara has told me and the world that she was in the room (this is first hand) when then-CIA Director William Casey said the following to Ronald Reagan:
‘We will know our disinformation campaign is successful when everything the American people believe is false.’
This was in the 1980s. Do you think things have gotten better since then?
If you enjoy good photography, subscribe.
I’ll be in touch if you like.

Notice that ‘Bill’ has been silent since I demanded for at least the second time that he debunk the Cowan/Kaufman interview.
REFLECTIONS ON GERM THEORY
Allan, you have described the ‘Germ Theory’, which states that certain diseases are caused by invisible microscopic entities like bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses, as ‘fraudulent’ and a ‘PSYOP’, a ‘lie’* of sorts fabricated by the medical establishment to keep folks in the dark about the real causes of disease.
*LIE – “To make an untrue statement with the intent to deceive” – Merriam-Webster
You have also referenced the work of psychiatrist Andrew Kaufman, who is highlighted in the film TERRAIN, to support your view.
As it turns out, none of the “evidence” cited by Kaufman (or Thomas Cowan) shows that germ theory is a “lie”, nor does it come even close to disproving the theory.
BTW, if the widely accepted medical theory originally developed in the mid to late 1800s by the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur, English surgeon Joseph Lister and German physician Robert Koch is indeed fraudulent (which it is not), then perhaps in your view medicine should revert to behaviors common before the acceptance of the idea that germs can cause disease, like surgeons operating on patients without wearing masks or washing their hands.
Also, perhaps doctors and midwives delivering babies today should refrain as well from wearing masks and washing their hands, and parents should cease vaccinating their children (your anti-vax position, I’m sure, the same espoused by the medical fraud Andrew Wakefield) against measles, mumps and rubella.
After all, if microbes – ‘germs’ – are not causative agents in infectious disease, then why should medical personnel even bother to engage in the antiseptic/ sterilization practices pioneered by Joseph Lister in the late 1800s, ones that have saved countless lives over the last century? And, if viruses do not exist, the view espoused by Kaufman and Cowan and yourself, then why should anyone make an effort to vaccinate themselves or their children against life-threatening viral diseases?
The point worth emphasizing is that the Germ Theory is not a “lie” any more than classical Newtonian physics is one.
Let me draw an analogy.
Quantum physicists like Bohr and Heisenberg demonstrated a century ago the severe limitations of Newtonian Theory in explaining behavior at the subatomic level of reality. Did that make Newton a fraud and his theory a “lie”? No, it simply showed the incompleteness of his mechanistic theory as a useful explanatory tool.
Now, similar to Newtonian Theory in physics, the Germ Theory in medicine is an incomplete reductionistic explanation of disease.
“…medicine has modelled itself after a mechanical physics, deriving from Galileo, Newton, and Descartes…. As a result of assuming this model, medicine is mechanistic, materialistic, reductionistic, linear-causal, and deterministic (capable of precise predictions) in its concepts. It seeks explanations for diseases, or their symptoms, signs, and cause in single, materialistic— i.e., anatomical or structural (e.g., in genes and their products)— changes within the body, wrought directly (linearly), for example, by infectious, toxic, or traumatic agents…” Notes on an Evolutionary Medicine, PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE.
Germ theory is incomplete because it does not fully acknowledge the body as a whole system and the role its inner health (“interior milieu” – Claude Bernard, “wisdom of the body” – Walter Cannon, “terrain” – Antoine Bechamp) plays in the etiology of disease. BTW, it was the latter, Bechamp, who was the original proponent of ‘Terrain Theory’, which was largely rejected in 19th century medicine.
NOTE: an incomplete theory does not equate to a “lie,” which involves willful deceit. Anyone who describes a scientific theory as a “lie” is showing their ignorance of science. Theories are not absolute ‘truths’, nor can they be ‘lies’. They are simply explanations, often tentative in nature, that can change over time and be falsified if they fail to explain observations.
Many critics of Germ Theory have asked a legitimate question: Why is it that some people exposed to harmful ‘germs’ get sick while others do not?
It is true that some individuals fail to become ill when exposed to dangerous microbes, but it is not because such germs do not exist. It is instead due to the internal equilibrium (homeostasis) of the body/mind, especially a healthy immune system that has evolved to defend against harmful pathogens.
In recent years Bechamp’s discredited ‘Terrain Theory’ (‘Germ Theory’ won out historically in medicine because of its greater explanatory power) has been given a boost of sorts with the discovery of the microbiome, a complex microbial ecosystem within the body that plays an integral role in maintaining its health and well-being. The microbiome that has co-evolved within us has been found to contain trillions of ‘germs’, and most are symbiotically beneficial to humans. For example, these microbes help keep us alive by, among other things, digesting our food and regulating our immune systems.
So, there is something to be said in support of ‘Terrain Theory’, or at least a version of it. However, although the inner terrain of the body is vitally important to our health and survival, that does not mean that “viruses like those that cause the common cold, polio, HIV-AIDS, chickenpox, COVID-19 and measles do not exist” or that “the COVID-19 pandemic is a manufactured hoax”, which is the kind of conspiratorial nonsense being perpetuated on the internet by Andrew Kaufman, Thomas Covan and other germ theory denialists.
Think smallpox, for God’s sake, a viral disease that ravaged human populations for centuries. Was that a ‘hoax’ as well? Did the variola virus that caused it not exist?
Simply put, it is not Pasteur’s ‘Germ Theory’ OR Bechamp’s ‘Terrain Theory’, as the medical issue has often been dialectically framed historically, any more than it is ‘Newtonian’ OR ‘Quantum’ physics. There are elements of truth to both, so what is required is a higher order synthesis of the two: thesis – Germ Theory – and antithesis – Terrain Theory.
Humans too often fall into the trap of ‘either…or’, dualistic thinking, and in doing so miss seeing the grander, more beautiful and truthful ‘big picture’.
In conclusion, germs, including viruses, are real, and while most are beneficial (bacteria are arguably the most indispensable component of the biosphere), some of them can and do cause disease. And whether individuals become sick or not from them depends on the interior health of their bodies.
So, the ‘germ’ and the ‘terrain’ both exist, and both are integral to human health and disease, as is the brain/mind/ consciousness, a separate yet related topic of interest to me that may be worth pursuing at some point.
The scientific research evidence (not “evidence” found on pseudoscientific blogs/ websites or You Tube videos), the kind published in peer-reviewed journals and academic research papers, points clearly in that holistic direction, at least for anyone willing to take an objective look at it, especially in newer biomedical realms like Epigenetics, Microbiome Science, Evolutionary Medicine and Psychoneuroimmunology.
In conclusion, let me emphasize once more the main point here: The ‘Germ Theory’ in medicine is incomplete, and has its limitations, but it is certainly not a
“lie”.
I didn’t get through your crap but the length of it told me that you get paid for doing this. Otherwise why go to the trouble?
Re germ theory, I asked you to do one thing and I gave you the link: Tell us what Cowan/kaufman said in the interview (with Mike Adams) that was incorrect. Why didn’t you do that? Point by point go thru the interview and debunk it. Instead, you give us the above, which is more ‘sounds so reasonable’ shit that really says nothing or is outright bullshit. I’ll pick something at random:
‘Think smallpox, for God’s sake, a viral disease that ravaged human populations for centuries. Was that a ‘hoax’ as well? Did the variola virus that caused it not exist?’ (end quote)
Sounds so reasonable (and I love the ‘for God’s sake’ touch), but how about telling us who isolated the smallpox virus, let alone did a Koch’s Postulate proof that it causes smallpox.
If you deal with the link I gave you (the interview) I will read it. Otherwise, your next crap gets deleted and you are banned. (Like Azzy you can get around that, can’t you?)
To repeat: your giveaway was your comment wondering how Azzy’s comment ‘mysteriously’ disappeared. The comment wherein he insulted me b/c of my age and for how I ‘abandoned a little puppy.’ This tells me all I need to know about you. Your handlers would know this. Bad move.
Here’s the link again (at least the 3rd time I’ve left it):
https://odysee.com/@WakeUpMirror:3/DRC-DAK-MA-VPF:c
You have cherry picked and cut & pasted almost ALL of the above Mantra.
If you had paid attention to Allan’s blog, you would have found out all about what causes illness years ago.
Bacteria are the “fireman tending to the fire” , and turn up in droves from within the body, – for instance – HERPES, which is normally dormant/harmless in the body (but not when it’s aggravated by certain things).
Your Germ phobia DOES NOT explain, why one person will be crook as a dog – even coughing & sneezing mucus, while the person or persons they live with, are perfectly fine!.
Today, we have 1000’s of Doctors blowing the whistle on this Rona Plandemic LIE!, AND the experimental & damaging/killing big pharma vax, and YOU Bill, are ignoring those Doctors too.
The good Doctors are REFUSING the vax, and losing their jobs for it. That tells us all we need to know, – if you bother to pay attention!
Good people out there (not Bad Bill above – don’t bother) – Read the book ‘The Invisible Rainbow’ , you will be most enlightened.
I have often left a link to the govt study proving the 1918 flu was not contagious. Why no mention of that in your ramble? How do you explain that? Look it up in Harvard magazine.
Love the video. I think it is now incumbent on the rest of us fellow dog owners and supporters of this blog to try and document a similar phenomenon with our own pets. So far I haven’t had much luck..
This was an interesting headline, and possibly some additional evidence for your observations. although I haven’t really dug too far into it yet.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0274833
Hi Allan, interesting video. I have had similar experiences with animals growing up. Like my favorite horse. We were always on the same wave length, it seemed. I was a “Horse Whisperer” before I ever heard the term. lol Wild horses would become tame when I was near them. A few yrs ago I had a cat that would bring me a red silk rose and drop it on my pillow if I was ill or depressed or sad or if he had done some mischief. It always brought tears to my eyes. I do believe in these kinds of bonds. I’ve seen things that can’t be explained. As for Remote Viewing…yes. it is REAL. I don’t know how it works but it works. And not necessarily ON DEMAND. I wish you and Gus all the best. Can’t wait for the book. Voo
Allan, there is a reason the National Science Foundation does not back “studies” like the one involving you and Gus, as interesting as some may find it.
Anecdotal evidence is not considered scientific evidence, and cannot be used to prove or disprove a hypothesis.
Anyway, I look forward to your take on consciousness, which to me is the most vexing issue in all of science and philosophy.
Hopefully, your views on the subject will prove to be more substantive than those previously put forth in regard to other issues, like the ‘Germ Theory’.
Hey, Bill, aren’t you one the guys that shamed me for linking to Tucker Carlson? How about explaining how anything of what he says here is incorrect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tPAmjhMKHU
While we’re at it, re germ theory, how about you explain what Cowan/kaufman say in this that is wrong:
https://odysee.com/@WakeUpMirror:3/DRC-DAK-MA-VPF:c
Just do these things so we know where you are coming from, and why you are here.
Re my Gus video, I never said it was scientific evidence. What it’s supposed to do is get you to read at least one of Rupert Sheldrake’s books, which are full of robust studies that show that what happened with Gus was real. Have you done that? Do you even know who Sheldrake is? (By the way, Sheldrake emailed me thanking me for my work.)
Answer these simple questions or get the fuck away from here. I suspect you are of the same ilk as your buddy Azzy.
In regard to Sheldrake, I guess you failed to read (or forgot) my comment posted on 10/3 – see below.
I have followed Sheldrake’s work on ‘morphic resonance’ for four decades.
Hey Bill, you shoot your mouth off then can’t answer a couple or so easy questions. What’s with that?
Allan, you asked me if I even knew who Sheldrake was, and if I had read any of his books. I responded that back on October 3 I commented to you that I was first exposed to Sheldrake’s work back in the early ’80s – his original book, A New Science of Life.
Gaslighting with a weak post Bill. You never explained how Cowan and Kaufman are wrong via logic or any reasoning whatsoever. You offer nothing more about Sheldrake and Radin’s research other than you ‘read or followed’ Sheldrake’s work since the 80s. That is not what a regular subscriber would do. I suspect you are here to pollute the waters, trash the comments, and consume Allan’s time and ours.
I asked other questions, didn’t I? No answers. You and Azzy, are you partners or what?
Todd, I provided a simple and concise critique of the Gus study, using my critical thinking skills. You know, the ones Allan is always blabbing about, until someone uses them to critique his views, at which point he often engages in personal attacks.
There is much I could say about Rupert Sheldrake and his intriguing ideas about ‘morphic resonance’, having studied and written about them for many years, but I chose to simply answer Allan’s questions about whether I knew about his work and read any of his books.
Germ Theory will be addressed soon…
Allan, patience is a virtue.
Your Tucker link does not work. I am assuming you were directing here, re: Nord Pipeline
https://youtu.be/jLb0QeCQF_I
Allan, in support of your position on Germ Theory – that it’s a sham – you cite the work of Thomas Cowan and Andrew Kaufman.
Cowan is the ex-doctor who, as a result of professional misconduct involving negligence in treating a cancer patient, surrendered his medical licence in 2020 (after being on probation since 2017 for medical malfeasance) and became an unlicensed “health coach” who sells nutritional supplements on the internet.
Andrew Kaufman is the psychiatrist who has espoused the ludicrous idea that viruses do not exist and SARS-CoV-2, the virus linked to COVID-19, is not real.
As you well know, Cowan and Kaufman challenge the validity of Germ Theory, a cornerstone of modern medicine, and view the COVID-19 pandemic as a ‘hoax’.
I am familiar with the work of the two men, as well as that of the anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield, who was barred from medical practice in Britain after his autism-MMR vaccine study published in The Lancet (1998) was later discovered to contain deliberately falsified information, and was retracted from the journal.
Needless to say, all three individuals, who you have lauded in recent years, have been widely discredited in the scientific community, and are seen by many as medical frauds.
I’m sure there are those out there who will be quick to cry CONSPIRACY!
While I realize the serious limitations of traditional Germ Theory, it is certainly not the medical scam Cowan, Kaufman and others of their ilk make it out to be.
Stay tuned…
This pile of junk answer proves you are only out to “shoot the messengers” , and worse still, here to rain on Allan’s parade – in a most mean spirited way.
You don’t even realize what happens to good Doctors who blow the whistle on the corrupt/criminal health system (worldwide).
There seems to be a couple of ‘Bills’ here on this blog, one is good, and this one above BAD.
A “pile of junk” answer?
Brett, everything I stated about Cowan, Kaufman and Wakefield is true and can easily be substantiated.
I don’t know about you, but whether or not I trust what a medical person says has to do in part on their character and integrity. I pay little heed to frauds and charlatans, especially those who practice sham science.
You mention medical whisteblowing. If you really want to read a good detective/ whistleblower story, you should check out the work of Brian Deer, the UK journalist who exposed the blatant fraud and deception of anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield.
Deer’s investigative work provided the basis for the revoking of Wakefield’s medical license in Britain, and the retraction of his research article in The Lancet that proposed a possible link between autism and the MMR vaccine.
https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Fooled-World-Deception/dp/1421438003
Hey Bill, my 84 y.o mothers TWO Doctors had their practicing licenses revoked, because they rightfully refused the jab. Doesn’t mean they are bad people OR Doctors.
Means they are switched on and educated Doctors.
At least they don’t have to peddle big pharma’s poison any more.
They are doing the right thing, and going Natural medicine.
Wow, that’s it! A hilariously weak argument by appealing to authority about them being discredited. You offer nothing relevant, showing your true colors here Bill. Let’s ignore what they say…
Can’t wait for your other “Stay tuned..” bullshit.
Hey, Todd, I would love to hear your response to my “bullshit” ‘REFLECTIONS ON GERM THEORY” post.
Please oblige.
Brett and Todd did me the favor of responding. Your BS is nothing but ad hominem, as usual. the people that come here are way ahead of your two bit crap. Why not just go away and stop wasting our time. Recall I asked you to state SPECIFICALLY what Cowan/Kaufman said that is untrue and you could not do it, did not even try. You backed up Azzhole when he insulted me about my age and personal matters. Tells me that you are likely a troll, i.e., human garbage. How’s that for ad hominem?
hey allan –
i honestly understand and believe that you and gus share minds, communicate, what ever you call it. i saw you with honey also. however, maybe you should let gus sleep, maybe gus is like, “allan, stop waking me up with your thoughts” ha! hope you are doing well.
I am wondering what happened to the Azzie posts on the blog from earlier in the day, which seemed to have mysteriously disappeared…
Like mosquitos. You eliminate them They have no viable purpose.
I have two dogs. I baby sit for my daughter. A minute before she gets here they know she is coming.
Never really thought of it until Allan brought this up. If she shows up unannounced “meaning I’m not expecting her”, the dogs have no clue.
You wonder what happened, do you? The question comes to mind: Are you an Azzhole?
Azzhole is back, with his phony email address. what does that mean? He’s a paid troll, that’s what.
Great video. Maybe a related question is out of all of the dogs, what led you to take Gus from the kill shelter that day?
Wasn’t a kill shelter, but a shelter that takes dogs from a kill shelter, but I took her and many others for a walk and it was clear that we connected even then.
Hi Allan,
Been following you for years and love your stuff. Very excited to see the photo book I already know you have some amazing shots there.
Loved the Gus Awakes video and thought about something you commented on “Gov. doesn’t research this stuff”. I’d like to share an excellent book about how they “The establishment” has been working on this for a while. Pick up the book Phenomena by Annie Jacobsen. She does an amazing job showing how not just remote viewing was done by our gov but other stuff too..
Was wondering if Gus responds to you just thinking “get up let’s go for a walk”? No pointing or prompting of any kind? I have an English Lab named Malibu that I can bet read’s my thoughts? Yes I know this sounds nuts but some times I try to just think about “hey Malibu let’s go for a walk and there she is good to go” just one example of many.
Just wanted to say thank you for all your posts and work you are more appreciated than you will ever know. Look forward to seeing what comes from Gus Awakes… Thank you for posting it…
Thanks for the kind words, and I will look into Jacobsen’s book. I can’t tell what Gus is thinking, but as shown in the video(s), she will react to my thoughts. What I found tho is she really is aware of my movements, and it’s not from hearing or smelling. Like in the first clip in Gus Awakes. That happens all the time. Well, 90% of the time. I suspect sometimes her dreams are just too distracting to wake up.
her Paperclip (2014) is good.
I got two of her books. Thanks.
HI Allan,
You make an interesting comment “she is really aware of my movements”. this is why I was thinking about the idea of just connecting with her using your mind. The thought being, I wonder if Gus reads your thoughts, she knows when you are happy, sad, excited, moving etc.? If this assumption is true and there was a solid way to test it the implications would be staggering. Annie Jacobsen writes about the scientific experiments conducted at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) from the 1970’s. Here is a link to a good documentary about this. Its called Third Eye Spies to check it out here is a link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1VX_W32mNM
You’ll love Annie Jacobson as she is a first rate researcher and lists all her sources.
I’m very excited for your Gus research and look forward to hearing what you find.
Thank you Allan for what you do and for taking us along on your journeys.
Cheers
From my last post, I guess you weren’t in danger and didn’t catch any lurkers. But I did consider something was up with Gus as she was looking for something too. I just had the wrong context.
Great post – definitely something there Allan and science should pursue this. I’ve tried this with my dog at times. I think she’s doing it all the time when it comes to food. She’s in another room and comes on over without a peep from us… I’ll have to test this a bit more. But she’s on her game most of the time with somehow knowing something is up just as we initiate an action from another room.
One thing that I’ve noticed is something may not make a observable sound, but when something passes between myself and the sender of the sound, I notice a deadening of the sound’s source somewhat as it passes thru. I think you’ve present enough various scenarios that that is most likely not what’s at work here. But I do have a general question, however. Were you able to get her to do this while inside the rig. I would think this phenomena is possible in your rig too.
I see you mentioned that in another comment about from inside the rig. I’ll have to replay to catch that. I must have missed it.
Yes, one of the clips is me inside and I wake her up instantly by just looking out. Thing is, she is used to ‘knowing’ when I leave the rig because it’s important to her — means something is up, a walk or a meal etc., so I did most of them like that. I do have some wherein I just look at her, like the first one and some in Part 2.
Interesting video Allen, but I would have to say though that my initial reaction upon watching it was to wonder why you keep messing around with that screen door, and tiptoeing around the RV and step, you are allowing other elements into the mix that possibly could have alerted Gus that something was up.
I haven’t yet watched part 2, but in relation to part 1, why not just sit silently in one place and then do your signal without any extraneous and unnecessary movements. Even in the first clip where you are sitting in the chair watching the tablet, you paused the feed on the tablet before doing the signal, it is not implausible that a dog might look around to see what had caused the change in the situation.
So my criticism would be that you are not isolating the signal enough, we all know how perceptive dogs hearing and senses are, do it again, stop tiptoeing around, stop playing around with that door. You may be capable of documenting good proof of the phenomenon but this does not quite get the job done.
Good points but the way it developed is that she would know when I left the rig, no matter how silent I was. It ALWAYS worked, which is what I was looking for. This isn’t science, it’s just to get the attention of people as anecdotal evidence. Sheldrake and Radin do the science but few seem to know. I thought I’d help.
The first clip in part 2 is Gus fast asleep for a full half hour then I just appear in the door, don’t open it and she wakes up and looks. Cause and effect, looks like.
Agreed. Dogs have exceptionally acute olfactory and auditory senses, which may be the simplest explanation (Occam’s Razor) for Gus’s behavior in Gus Awakes (Part 1).
While there may well exist some type of ‘psychic connection’ between dogs and humans, this “experiment” certainly does not prove it – too many confounding variables.
Ha! – our older dog, which is a 14 yo Shih Tzu Poodle cross, is getting is deaf as a post! – and her sight is gone compared to what it was. Smell has to be diminished too.
I have noticed she very often knows when someone is coming home still.
You might look into the issue a little deeper, Bill, and you might bother to read my comment above. Did you view Part Two, wherein I wake her up from inside the rig by simply looking out? And this is after a full half hour of sound sleep. I wake her up in the windshield shot and in many shots wherein I just lean out the door making no sound at all.
As I say above, this is not ‘proof’ but rather evidence that most people (with exceptions) can understand, and then maybe look into the subject deeper, as with Sheldrake’s studies, which prove with no doubt that what you see with Gus is not explicable via materialism. So maybe do a little research.
By the way, people walk by here all the time, making the same sound (only much louder) that I make (you say) in my tip toeing out of the rig, and Gus doesn’t wake up let alone look up.
People believe that they want to believe, even see what they want to see. Especially materialists. I suspect this is an example of that.
Allan, I have looked into these issues far deeper than you know, and for a long period of time. Consciousness has been a primary interest of mine since the ’70s.
As far as Sheldrake, I read his seminal work, a New Science of Life, 40 years ago.
BTW, as mentioned, my comment above pertains to Gus Awakes – Part 1.
Agree with Patrick here, have seen Dr Sheldrakes and I have found it very convincing and shared with dog owners. Not a dog owner for many years now, but when I was I most definitely saw/observed the phenomenon. Both my sons have dogs and when I am around them I always experiment and see it just with my thoughts. Never at an scheduled time I would just layback in another room and think i’m Ready for a walk with the walk loving dog.The dog would come in the room and look at me. The other dog who was a player i’d Do the same thing but with i’m Ready to play ball. Not every time they would come to me from another room immediately but it was within several. Kind a like they were saying thought we were going to walk/play ball what’s the deal.
Told my sons girl friend she should make a mental thought when she was getting off work to communicate to their dog she was coming home. She was a doing restaurant work and she had a schedule, but business has been so irregular that she is let off at every different hours daily. My son working from home gets a text to pick her up, the dog doesn’t know about text but comes in to his office like i’m Ready to go pick mom up.
It’s hard to deny it when you are looking at to observe, might miss it if you weren’t aware.
Anyway think you opening the squeaky door isn’t scientific given dogs hearing ability.
Good vibes to you Allan,
Rachel
Rachel, do you bother reading my comments before you talk about squeaky doors? Or do you keep in mind that many of my clips do not involve doors? Or that even the ‘door’ ones show Gus waking up way after the door opens? Other than that, your comment interesting, if unscientific.
Liked the video of you and Gus, interesting. I passed it on to a friend and am awaiting his response.
Any idea when your new book might be coming out. Can’t wait to see it.
It’s going to be awhile but thanks for asking. I will keep you all informed.
I apologize to everyone for the tone of the post. I was mistakenly thinking that the video would do well and get around and maybe lots of new people would read it and subscribe. So I phrased it that way. Sorry for thinking that people would find the video enlightening and share it. I tend to overestimate the curiosity if not the intelligence of the masses. I just keep doing that.
Your post is awesome (as usual!) and no apology needed Allan.
Bloody disappointing how hardly anyone shows much interest at F.B so far! – what is up with the people there?!
It’s really a mind blower that at FB, with like 100 giving thumbs up to photos, I get 3 for that video and not a single comment. Shows the mentality at that platform (with some exceptions!).
Yep, I can’t believe the lack of interest! – is a mind blower!.
Another cool thing you will notice with Dogs, and no other animal that I know of, is – you will sometimes see & hear when they are dreaming!….having a good old bark at something in the spirit world with their muffled bark noises 😀
I have a theory that without dogs we as a species would not have survived what I believe was the First World War, that between us and the Neanderthals. I believe that having dogs as our allies saved us. Read Vendramini’s Them and Us, and extrapolate.
That we had that war explains a lot about why we are the way we are.
Thank you for the reminder on Vendramini’s Them and Us book – I Just ordered it. It’s been some time since you posted about his work.
Looking forward to his book and your future posts. Too much to read and never enough time to get it all in.
The lying never ceases to amaze me from the psychopaths in charge and their armies of useless eaters helping them.
Forwarded to sweetie pie. We have 16 mo. old sibling maltipoos that are scary smart.
IMO, “germ theory” is the height of cog diss.
Great video. Maybe a related question is out of all of the dogs, what led you to take Gus from the kill shelter that day?
I’m curious as to if the apparent connection between you and Gus, ever travels the other direction.
that is… do you ever get a sudden perception or an impulse, to react to Gus, in a way that you perceive as coming “urgently” from her?
(Beyond the normal “dog wants attention/food/to go outside” indicators that are easy to perceive with our sight/hearing, etc.)
No, nothing in the other direction.
I would say I have felt that. Like i’d be on the internet and my sons dog is so mellow and all of the sudden i’d Get the vibe like the dog was saying this sucks laying around here I want to get out. Many a time I got those vibes from her out of the blue, even when I was into something I was reading.
Well…. anyone who’s had a long term relationship with almost any animal (or other human being) knows that the connections are complex and real. Any movement displaces matter, causing other matter to move around as well, and they don’t call them brain waves for nothing. We all (animals too) experience and know vastly more than of which we are concious. My own mother who lived in Idaho at the time flew to Seattle on the basis of an intense feeling that her son there “needed her” (there had not been any phone calls). When she got there he was indeed hospitalized with a serious malady. There had been no communication other than the psychic, but she got on an airplace and he was in fact deeply in need. Go figure. Isn’t something rather like that at the heart of your first novel?
When the freighter I was on sank back in the 1970s my mother woke up that night and was sure something happened to me. I write about that in CYGAWA. It’s near the beginning of the book. Link to the ebook in the sidebar.
So true
In spite of the fact that some have said that alcohol is replacing the dog as man’s best friend, Charles de Gaulle has quipped many years ago: “That the more I get to know men, the more I love dogs!”
Many a pet owners and dog lovers, who have shared their life and home with a dog, are sometimes unaware of just how intuitive their dog really is. Pet people, especially with pet dogs, have had an experience of having that rare and special bond with their dog that will never be forgotten. I think most ppl don’t realize just how deeply connected their dog was to them…
Hello Allan! Hope you’re ok (and Gus too)!
Haven’t commented in a while, been thru some touble latelly, too.
Every Human animal who has shared part of his existence with any sort of animal companion, knows that there are many inexplicable facts (call it empathy, telepathy,etc).
I believe all living creatures and sentient beeings (yes salads too!) are connected, either you feel it or not.And yet, according to ‘science’, you can’t prove it (in a materialistic view of the world). But, do we really need to?
Take care!
You should read Sheldrake’s book, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home. Mind blower.
The big question here is, why is a girl dog named Gus?…I’ve got stuff to tell about what happens at cemeteries, but I’m not allowed to say…Need some financial advice on the stock market this month…What happened to the Nordstream pipeline is incredibly evil. I can’t believe I pay taxes so my government can do things like this, or give billions to Ukraine, or hit the United States with generated storms. Gotta be something we can do to fight for truth and justice.
I am betting it is of course, short for Augustus – which can be a male or females name!.
ComeOn Barry! – what do you mean you “can’t believe” what they get up to?!?
Love this very interesting post, and your video, and pictures Allan.
I will be able to share it on FB when they let me out of ‘clink’ (again).
I have experienced some paranormal stuff, AND i gave 3 trusted friends who have seen themselves dead from the outside, after they experienced the very common NDE (near death experience).
Also, I don’t know if you have studied DMT yet – split’s your spirit out of your body while you are alive & awake – safely. Sends you to hidden dimensions that are mind blowing amazing, and is more real than here!!. This stuff is all highly SUPPRESSED of course by you know who.
Check out Rick Strassman’s DMT: The Spirit Molecule.
Yep I checked that out 3+ x, and many many reports from different adventurous folks, as from nearly 20 years ago, that have been LUCKY enough to try it!. It is fantastic beyond words, and THE biggest secret kept swept under the carpet.
Why the nonsense, Barry? You have something against me?
“Gus” is a male dog name, according to PupNames.com. The famous cartoon dog “Gus” was drawn by Orlando Busino (who died at age 95 last January) for Boys’ Life. I well remember those “Gus” illustrations, as might others. But yes, “Augustus” can be both sexes…I don’t have anything against you. The video was very impressive!
Point being, Barry, I work very hard on a video that I think is very important as evidence of how the world works — how all of science is fucking wrong — and you ask a question like that b/c it’s the most important aspect? No, wait, you phrased it ‘the BIG question is why my dogs name… blah blah…’
Gus’s shelter name was Augusta b/c she was at a kill shelter in Augusta, Georgia. Can you sleep now?
Jeez, take it easy. It was just a comment/question on your dog’s name. “Big question” was, obviously, light satire and NOT the big question…I’m a fan of the video and your work and have been for some time…With the cemeteries comment, which I am not at liberty to explain in detail, things are picked up in cemeteries by some people I know that cannot normally be explained. I noticed a big cell tower by the cemetery, and it could be that I’m tracked, and voice-to-skull technology has existed since at least the 1990s, when it was used in Iraq. But there were some details about my childhood that no one else knows (except by my parents, who are both deceased) and cannot be explained, that other people suddenly knew. The Wikipedia page on “remote viewing” states: “There is no scientific evidence that remote viewing exists, and the topic of remote viewing is generally regarded as pseudoscience.” That is not correct, but I can’t explain much more.
I am hoping my current subscribers will pitch in by spreading the video around. We need more voices here! The folks we have are (largely) serious critical thinkers but we’re all preaching to the choir and therefore not doing much good. Hate to say it but it’s true.
