This week, we are honoured to welcome longtime UFO researcher, author, investigator, and editor **Brent Raynes** to *The Starseeds and Lightworkers Collective* for a fascinating conversation on nearly six decades of UFO research, high strangeness, and the deeper mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of reality. Brent entered the UFO field in January 1967, at only fourteen years old, after being inspired by the major UFO wave of 1966 and Frank Edwards’ influential book *Flying Saucers — Serious Business*. What began as a teenage fascination soon became a lifelong quest. Brent immersed himself in UFO literature, corresponded with witnesses and researchers across the country, founded his own UFO investigation group, and began publishing his own newsletter. By 1969, he was connected with Florida’s *Saucer Scoop* magazine and soon entered into correspondence with one of the most influential and unconventional voices in ufology: **John A. Keel**, author of *Operation Trojan Horse*, *The Eighth Tower*, and *The Mothman Prophecies*. In this episode, Brent will reflect on his decades of research into UFOs, anomalous phenomena, consciousness, synchronicity, and the strange borderlands where physical sightings, psychic impressions, folklore, symbolism, and personal experience seem to overlap. Drawing from his own field investigations, his correspondence with John Keel, and his book *John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and The Ongoing Mysteries*, Brent invites us to consider whether the UFO phenomenon may be far more complex than simple extraterrestrial visitation — and whether consciousness itself may be one of the most important keys to understanding the mystery. Brent is the author of *Visitors from Hidden Realms*, *On the Edge of Reality*, and *John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and The Ongoing Mysteries*. Since 1985, he has also served as editor of **Alternate Perceptions Magazine**, an online publication exploring UFOs, parapsychology, anomalous experiences, and the high-strangeness world of Keelian ufology. ### In this episode, we will explore: * Brent’s early entry into UFO research during the classic era of modern ufology * What UFO investigation looked like before the internet * His correspondence with John A. Keel and the influence of Keel’s “ultraterrestrial” ideas * Why UFO encounters often blur the line between physical reality, consciousness, symbolism, and the paranormal * The role of synchronicity, telepathy, altered states, archetypes, and high strangeness in anomalous experiences * How Brent’s book *John A. Keel: The Man, The Myths, and The Ongoing Mysteries* preserves and expands upon Keel’s legacy * Why today’s renewed interest in consciousness-based ufology may be bringing us back to questions researchers like Keel were asking decades ago After nearly sixty years in the field, Brent Raynes brings a rare perspective: grounded in history, rich in personal investigation, and open to the possibility that the UFO mystery is not asking us for easy answers — but inviting us to expand the very way we understand mind, reality, and the unknown.

As I looked under CFI’s Mission, Vision, and Values, the phrase ‘**community**’ stood out in the opening line. Then, I found it repeated seven more times, all within a short description. Elsewhere, CFI informs us we run ‘open’ and ‘friendly’ discussions in ‘safe and hospitable’ environments for everyone. And 'Critical Thinking' is, you might say, the backbone for starting any discussion. But while we all know what thinking is, how is **critical thinking** different? Especially in matters that are not quantitatively measurable? As humans, thankfully, we are born curious – we probably won’t have learnt to crawl on four to experience our body and the world around us. We all are capable of being forever-curious – and therefore seeing through the evidence methodically. That is a good start for any talk no matter how complex it may seem. If it’s a human problem, we may not solve it, but surely can think through it critically. That’s a big, and hopeful, first step! Tantalizing? Let’s Talk!

### Thursday Evening Discussion Group **In\-Person \| Starts at 8:00 PM \(Doors open at 7:30 PM\) \| Drop\-In** **Starting material:** *[Network of Thought](https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/Network-of-Thought-Krishnamurti-ebook.pdf)* by **Jiddu Krishnamurti** This weekly discussion group offers a reflective and open space to explore themes of **mysticism, spirituality, and inner transformation** through selected writings and talks by Jiddu Krishnamurti, Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, and other thinkers whose work invites deep **inquiry into consciousness, freedom, truth**, and **the nature of self-understanding**. Rather than promoting a particular belief system, the group emphasizes **shared reading, thoughtful reflection, and respectful dialogue**. Participants are welcome to engage at their own pace—whether through listening, contemplation, or open discussion. While there is **no requirement to commit before attending**, *the intention is to gradually build a group of participants who are interested in returning regularly and engaging sincerely with the material* and the group process. Newcomers are very welcome, and those who feel drawn to ongoing study are warmly encouraged to continue attending. **This is a drop-in group,** and no prior background or preparation is required. **All are welcome.** Come as you are, reflect together, and take part in a spirit of openness, seriousness of inquiry and mutual respect.

While we may be one of the largest local writing communities, we're not the only game in town! Join us for a get together with the Toronto Romance Writers. There's definitely overlap between our genres (romantasy, anyone?), so this is a great opportunity to meet local writers in a slightly but not too different field. We'll be meeting at The Fox and the Fiddle location near Pape Station.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering** **Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being** **Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson** **[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)** **The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request** **Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM** **Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18** A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey. Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen. This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are. *Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115* *Payment Options: Venmo or Cash* **Please RSVP to [Caitlynn](https://kalikwellnesswithin.org/) via** **email @ [kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com](mailto:kalik.wellnesswithin@gmail.com)** **text @ ‪(614) 407-4021‬** 💫
