IP Telecom, the leading provider of cloud-based voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and unified communications telephony services to business customers across Ireland, today celebrates International Women's Day with a fundraising event in support of the Irish Homeless Street League. The Irish Homeless Street League is a volunteer-driven non-profit organisation that uses the power of sport to transform the lives of people who have found themselves affected by social exclusion. Today's event run by IP Telecom, in celebration of International Women's Day, will be dedicated to raising funds for the organisation and its work. Under the theme, 'Inspire Inclusion', the event will include attendance from charity CEO Christopher O Brien, and womens player Vanessa Lynch, who is due to speak on her experience with the charity. IP Telecom joins the likes of Colin Farrell in its support of the charity, which is currently fundraising towards supporting an Irish entry in this year's Homeless World Cup in Seoul, Korea. At the IHSL, there is a belief 'A Ball Can Change A Life'. Via nationwide leagues, the charity looks to create positive change by motivating, inspiring and developing people who have experienced homelessness, alcohol and substance abuse, or are ex-offenders, long-term unemployed and refugees, delivering positive social change throughout Ireland. Through strategic partnerships and dedicated efforts, the organisation aims to break down barriers and create opportunities for women to rebuild their lives. Many of the female participants have gone back to education, created a career for themselves and also gained a new perspective on life. Speaking at today's event, Shena Brien, CEO of IP Telecom, said: "This International Women's Day, we're not just celebrating - we want to take action. Empowerment and inclusion are core drivers of our business at IP Telecom, as we aim to create an environment that supports women - this ethos goes beyond supporting our own internal team, but how we inspire inclusivity on the outside. Today we're raising funds for the Irish Homeless Street League, which uses the transformative power of sport to create opportunities and instil hope across Ireland - this is a fantastic charity, and I would urge those who can to visit their website and find out more about the work they do." IHSL first launched its campaign to create a league for women In 2016; this started off as one league in Pearse St Dublin, has grown to three leagues nationally, with two in Dublin and further league in Limerick. The organisation's first women's team participated in the Homeless World Cup in Oslo 2017, and have continued to participate in many European tournaments. Most recently the team achieved 4th place at the Homeless World Cup which was held in Sacramento California 2023, the highest ranking ever by an Irish team in the tournament itself. The support of IHSL is not the first time IP Telecom has given encouragement to female sporting organisations. Since 2023 IP Telecom has been the proud lead sponsor of the Women Senior Team of current Women's League of Ireland champions - Peamount United. As the primary sponsor of Peamount United's Women Senior Team, IP Telecom eagerly aims to contribute to the team's success and growth, as well as nurturing the development of women's football within the club, and the country as a whole - empowering the next generation of talented women in sports, business, and technology.

BOAA 509 Cutting edge esoteric researcher Christopher O'Brien joins us for a discussion on the trickster phenomenon

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind,  going all the way back to April 21, 2014 when we spoke to the researcher, author, and podcaster Christopher O’brien. Since 1992, Christopher O’Brien has investigated over one thousand paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley–located in South-central Colorado/North Central New Mexico. Working with law enforcement officials, ex-military, ranchers, and an extensive network of skywatchers, from 1992 to 2002 he documented one of the most intense waves of unexplained activity ever reported from a single geographic region of North America. His ten-year investigation resulted in the four books of his “mysterious valley” trilogy, The Mysterious Valley, Enter the Valley, Secrets of the Mysterious Valley, and Stalking the Herd. His meticulous field investigation of UFO reports, unexplained livestock deaths, Native American legends, cryptozoology, secret military activity, and the folklore, found in the world’s largest alpine valley, has produced one of the largest databases of unusual occurrences gathered from a single geographic region.

Gene and Randall present a special episode featuring former Paracast co-host Christopher O'Brien and Ronald Olch, both part of the UFO Data Acquisition Project (UFODAP). UFODAP is establishing a network of camera-based UFO detection systems, with systems now available for purchase. From 2010 through 2018, Chris and Gene interviewed dozens of guests on The Paracast, the roster of which is a virtual Who's Who in the field of Ufology and the paranormal. Ron developed UFODAP's  mechanical, electronic, software, and documentation starting from proof-of-concept in 2014. Chris is the author of several books on the paranormal that include Enter the Valley, The Mysterious Valley, Secrets of The Mysterious Valley, Stalking The Tricksters, and Stalking The Herd: Unraveling the Cattle Mutilation Mystery.

The subject of Trickster-ism has permeated human belief for millennia but today, in the 21st Century, very little is publicly known about "The Trickster." Graced by many names including; fool, sage, coyote, Loki, men-in-black etc., tricksters have inhabited culture for millennia and this casual force has played pivotal roles throughout history. Author/field-investigator Christopher O'Brien redefines this hidden subject of "tricksters" from a new, fresh perspective and he begins a journey down to the enchanted southwest desert to study the many elusive tricksters of North American indigenous myth and lore. He quickly realizes, that for millennia, tricksters have been shrouded world-wide behind many guises such as skinwalkers, shapeshifters jokers, loki, jinn, sorcerers, witches and other dark adepts. And that they have burrowed deep inside human belief into the core of human culture. Cryptids, elementals, werewolves, vanishing hitchhikers, demons and dancing devils have been reported around the world for generations. But why? What are these forces? What is their agenda? O'Brien journeys out into the field to determine whether these phenomenal masks worn by the tricksters can provide us a direct conduit to the unknown today in the 21st Century. Could it be that these denizens of phenomenal events may be attempting to communicate a warning to humanity in this uncertain age of prophesized change? For thirteen years, Christopher O'Brien investigated and researched the mysterious San Luis Valley (CO/NM), one of America's most anomalous regions, and his Mysterious Valley book series and numerous TV appearances have been appreciated by millions. After his years spent in the field chasing UFOs, Bigfoot, prairie dragons and other fantastic trickster-like phenomena, he wonders, "are these tricksters using knowledge of collective superstition to inhabit and manipulate the modern world?" His journey of discovery and his conclusions will surprise you, for it appears that the tricksters are alive and well and operating in the 21st Century. Reporting from places such as the Navaho, Apache and Hopi Reservations of Arizona, the four sacred mountains of the Four Corners, and the Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, Mexico in the Chiapan Highlands. O'Brien uncovers intriguing accounts that suggest there are beings walking among us able to utilize fantastic abilities. He realizes that subtle, deeply ingrained beliefs regarding these dark adepts with wild talents have subtly shaped cultural belief around the world for generations and today, these fantastic creatures continue to instill fear and awe. O'Brien courageously tackles, redefines and examines the mysterious world of the tricksters. Chapters include: Trapping Mercury: Defining the Tricksters; Fourth World Adepts: Coyote Knows What He's Doing; The Need of a House: Kali's Journey From the East; Ascent Into the Netherworld: Tantric Tulpas of the Baba Believers; Dark Age Gods: Book of The Scribe and Other Fantastic Talismans; Into the Underworld: Ghosts, Monsters and the Netherlands; The Bloody Dance: Vampires, Ritual Sacrifice and the Role of Blood; Sante Fe to del Norte': The Devil Gets Down in Pojoaque; Across Four-Corners: Path of the Skinwalker; Hidden in Plain Sight: Witches, Brujos, Orishas and the Occult; Dwellers of the Threshold: Werewolves, Cryptids and Shape-Shifting Monsters; Chasing Fairies and the Jinn: Summoning Ultra-terrestrials in Magonia; Ouija Jones And the Neo-Pagans: Channeling and the Art of Ascended Masters; The Dark Gods: Does Cthulhu Loath You?; Analyzing the Projectionist: The Politics of the Trickster; 2012, Prophesy and Tricksterism: Coyote Knows Who We Are; more. - www.ourstrangeplanet.com

Together these works constitute countless hours of field work and in-depth research into strange experiences, UFOs, and the mysterious deaths of cattle and other animals. During this episode, Chris presents updates on his work for James Fox's UFO documentary, The Phenomenon, and the ongoing San Luis Valley Camera Project.

Since 1992, Christopher O'Brien has investigated over one thousand paranormal events reported in the San Luis Valley, located in South-Central Colorado/North Central New Mexico. His ten-year investigation resulted in the three books of his "Mysterious Valley" trilogy. His website is cob@tmv.us.

Exploring the Bizarre (KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcome JUDY MESSOLINE and CHRIS O'BRIEN in an extended play presentation. Are there some locations that have a better chance to spot a UFO than others? Most of the time seeing a UFO is only by a lucky chance...being in the right place at the right time. But, are there some areas where UFOs seem to congregate? The San Luis Valley, a region in south-central Colorado that overlaps into New Mexico, has had UFO reports dating as far back as the 1600s. The number of UFOs seen in the particular area is why our guests this week have dedicated so much of their time. Judy Messoline owns and operates the UFO Watchtower ( www.ufowatchtower.com/ ) near Hooper, Colorado, and Christopher O'Brien( http://ourstrangeplanet.com/ ) has logged in more than 20 years looking into UFO sightings, animal mutilations and other bizarre activity in the valley. As well, O'Brien is in the process of setting up a number of high-resolution video cameras around the valley to better track any unknown aerial objects. Read all about the on going wave in Chris "Mysterious Valley" book series as well as in " DeJa Vu UFOs" by Tim, Chris and others. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1606119893

Christopher O'Brien discusses his longtime investigations into UFOs, his many sightings, and his research of cattle mutilations, late in the show he talks about his part with James Fox in developing a multi-part miniseries that will utilize the 17 terabytes of footage James has taken while  investigating important UFO cases around the world, also the UFO data acquisition program (ufodap) will supply gear and operate our multi-sensor and camera equipment during his upcoming investigative voyages to Catalina and Guadalupe Island.  https://ufodap.com/ for more information.

Christopher O'Brien is quite an amazing man. He is an investigative journalist, multi-title author, synth player, artist, TV/Radio personality/spokesman, and an aspiring techno-schaman. I think he is one of the best researchers of his time & his new technology UFODAP is briliant. His work in the San Luis Valley is yeilding amazing experiences, information & results.

Christopher O'Brien moved to the San Luis Valley in 1989 and began his private investigation of unusual events documented in his 1996 book The Mysterious Valley . He has written articles for numerous magazines, including Fate, UFO Universe, Phenomena, Zeitgeist, and UFO Encounters. His investigation and research have been featured in the Denver Post, Pueblo Chieftain, New Mexican, Rocky Mountain News, Albuquerque Journal, and in an ongoing series in Spirit magazine.O'Brien has also helped develop, field-produce, supply footage, and appeared in four segments of the syndicated Paramount television program Sightings; appeared on Inside Edition, Showtime, Extra; was featured in the TBS Documentary "UFO: The Search," and in a BBC2 documentary aired in the fall of 1997. Chief Investigator for Skywatch International, he has field-produced and directed television segments for the nationally syndicated paranormal news-magazine program Strange Universe and is currently working on a documentary on location in San Luis Valley.

Christopher O'Brien explains why he does not believe cattle mutilations have anything to do with E.T.s or anything paranormal. However, he does share with us stories about places in the U.S. where supernatural phenomenon is most certainly taking place. He tells one story of an experience he shared with the late Rosemary Ellen Guiley. Portals and creatures abound! From 1992 to 2002 Christopher O’Brien investigated hundreds of unexplained events in South-central Colorado/North-central New Mexico. His investigative work is chronicled in the “mysterious valley” book trilogy and this field investigation of UFOs, cattle mutilations, crypto-creatures, haunted sites etc., has produced one of the largest databases of unusual occurrences from a single geographic region. Today, a sophisticated multi-sensor surveillance setup called UFODAP is being installed there in a groundbreaking effort to scientifically monitor on-going anomalous activity in the region. O’Brien has appeared in over 80 TV show segments including Ancient Aliens, Inside Edition, Extra, Strange Evidence and he co-produced the film It Could Happen Tomorrow, winner of two 2012 EBE film festival awards—for Best Feature and the Peoples Choice Award. His latest book Stalking the Herd is easily the most comprehensive book ever written about the misunderstood “cattle mutilation” mystery. https://www.ourstrangeplanet.com/Please Check Out My Other Pages!https://kgraradio.com/paranormal-now/https://www.paranormalnow.netTWITTER: https://twitter.com/Paranormal_NowINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/paranormalnow/FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/paranormalnowradioYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdYYfzK10LQH8drKD0SkY3A

Thank you for listening and remember, Mysteries Abound. Find us at: Twitter: @FabledPod Instagram: @fabledpod #fabledpod #mysteriesabound Join the conversation at our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fabledpod     Humans love to make monsters. From Count Dracula to Jigsaw, we can’t help but give the creatures living in the dark corners of our minds some semblance of life. Whether that life is on paper and housed in the imaginations of the reader or seen on the big screen at your local cinema, we delight in frightening each other with the horrors we create and, at the end of our experiences with them, we take a breath and tell ourselves “That was fun but at least it wasn’t real.” And that’s true... right? What if the monsters that dwell in our imagination have the potential to be just that: real? Is it possible we can create our worst fears by focusing so intensely on them that they spring into existence, fully formed and ready to rain terror on us? Some think so, and this focus on our fears may have created the worst monster of all: Today, we discuss Slender Man. To get to where we need to go with this idea of what Slender Man may be, we need to travel back in time to the origins of Tibetan Buddhism and explore the idea of the Thought-Form, or Tulpa, which is also referred to as an Emanation in ancient scripts. Going back to the earliest days of Buddhism there have always been teachings that deal with the concept of time, reality, and what we really are as sentient creatures. These teachings on the nature of reality led some of the practitioners of Buddhism to develop the concept of the Emanation. An Emanation, or Tulpa, was an extension of oneself on a spiritual level, however, powerful Buddha were said to have been able to create individual Tulpas that could think and act outside the will of their creator. This ability to create an Emanation was an explanation in early Buddhism as to how some of the Buddha throughout history were able to travel to heavenly realms while their body remained here in this realm. The practitioners would meditate in such a focused way that they would literally create a projection or copy of themselves in the heavenly realm they wished to visit. Obviously the idea of the Tulpa is a deeply spiritual one to practitioners of different sects of Buddhism and is vastly different in practice to the Thought-Forms we will discuss shortly. However, for our purposes, it is important to note that people have been claiming the ability to literally create beings from nothing but thoughts for many centuries. As with most things, Western culture in the early 20th century took the teachings of the Tibetan monks and adapted the concept of the Emanation into the idea of the Thought-Form and brought it to America. These people, calling themselves Theosophists, or religious philosophers, were led by a woman named Helena Blavatsky and drew upon what she referred to as ancient knowledge from “The Masters”, or, ancient spirits whom she claimed to have a psychic or spiritual connection with. Theosophists believed that if groups of people focused their thoughts on a particular idea for long enough, it would manifest physically in our world. Another group who took the concept of the Tulpa and ran with it was The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This group rose to some popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and included notable people such as Alistair Crowley, the famed magician, author, and occult leader, among its ranks and leadership. The HOGD was a group of like-minded people who focused their studies on such things as the occult, paranormal activity, and metaphysics as a way to understand the world around them and to practice magic that might benefit themselves. Among many things they are known for (mostly large orgies claiming to be for channeling some sort of universal magic) this group practiced a magic with the idea that they could summon some sort of psychic though-form being known to them as the Egregore. The Egregore, according to this group, could be summoned by particularly powerful people or collectively via psychic projection. Much like the following anecdote, this Egregore was also said to be autonomous and independent from its creators, like the Tulpa over time grew to be. Interestingly enough, the Egregore has also been used to explain the way a modern meme can spread and deliver ideas to masses of people simultaneously. As opposed to a physical being manifesting, an idea manifests in our collective conscience from the meme. At the same time the Theosophists and the Golden Dawn were appropriating the Eastern mythology for their own uses, a woman named Alexandra David-Neel (pronounced Nael) was studying Eastern religion in Tibet. Now, she claims to have seen a Tulpa in action while there, and some of her writings claim she even created one for herself. She writes of a portly monk often seen with her that, if she is to be believed, may have been her very own Tulpa. Her writings go on to discuss a sort of self-awareness the Tulpa gains as it ages which eventually lead to the creation attempting to disassociate, sometimes violently, from its creator in an attempt to keep itself manifested. Regardless of where you look into this subject, all parties involved (including the ancient scripts) warn of some danger with summoning Tulpa, and extreme caution must be taken when attempting to summon one. Now all of this seems like a lot to go over in such a short amount of time. The concepts of Theosophy can be difficult to wrap your mind around, so if you are interested in the subject of Theosophy, you can grab a copy of Blavatsky’s book “The Secret Doctrine.” It is a fascinating read. For more information on Tulpas, seek out books from Christopher O’Brien or scroll through the archives of a podcast called The Paracast. So how does this connect to The Slender Man, you might ask? Now that I’ve briefly explained the idea of the thought-form or Tulpa, You have just enough knowledge about the subject to continue on however I implore you to dig a little deeper into this subject. It will be worth your time. Our next episode will be available shortly and, dear listener, The Slender Man is coming.

Fermenting Revolution (First aired July 19, 2007) For many people, it would be quite welcoming advice to learn that drinking beer could save the world from perhaps an unpredictable changing climate, from pollution, from corporate-driven political agendas, from declining levels of happiness, from increasing levels of stress, from gender inequality, from families and relationships falling apart and from communities that have lost their sense of community. That might be a lot to ask from a simple pint of beer but author Christopher O'Brien places those questions on the 'bar' so to speak in his book "Fermenting Revolution: How to Drink Beer and Save the World". The book was released in 2006 by British Columbia's New Society Publishers and Deconstructing Dinner spoke with Christopher in March 2007. Deconstructing Dinner in Our Schools II (First aired March 13, 2008) How do food and agricultural issues make their way into educational settings? On this episode of Deconstructing Dinner in Our Schools, we hear from 10-year old Kodiak Morasky who chose a very unique topic to present to his grade 4 classmates. Kodiak was introduced to the world of factory animal farms through the on-line animated series of short films known as The Meatrix. The film had a profound impact on Kodiak, and we listen in on his in-class presentation.

Fermenting RevolutionHow many people out there would love to hear that drinking beer could save the world. One might ask, to save the world from what, and author Christopher O'Brien would suggest from climate change, from pollution, from corporate control of our lives, from declining levels of happiness, from increasing levels of stress, from gender inequality, and from communities that have lost their sense of community. Fermenting Revolution" is the title of the book released just last year by British Columbia's New Society Publishers. As we often critically examine individual foods or agricultural commodities here on Deconstructing Dinner, beer is of course no different from any other food. It's principle ingredients consist of water, barley (or another grain), hops and yeast, all of which are extracted and produced in ways that can either respect or disrespect the earth. We learn of beer and its role in leading a revolution in small breweries around the world. Soil Matters CSA I One of the greatest threats facing farmers today and hence facing our own food supply is the financial rewards found in the field of farming, rewards that are seemingly more often then not, in the negative digits. Many argue that food and agriculture should be removed from global trade regimes. One of the reasons for such an idea comes from a belief that farmers themselves should not have to bear the financial risks associated with such a volatile industry, and all people should equally share such risks as food is a need and not a desire. One alternative to the dominant food system is the model of Community Supported Agriculture, whereby a set number of people within a city or town become a member of a farm, and in doing so pay the farmers at the beginning of the season when farmers need the money most. Members who join are then guaranteed what is most often a weekly box of fresh produce. As many farmers know all too well how easily an entire crop can be lost due to weather, pests or unforeseen circumstances, members of a CSA share this risk with the farmer and on the other side can also share in the abundance. Just outside of Nelson, British Columbia, two intrepid farmers who only began farming a few years ago, have launched a CSA this year. Host Jon Steinman chose to become a member and document the process of creating a CSA and the potential for such a model to reconnect people with their food and provide farmers with a more secure source of income. This marks the first of a periodic series that will document the creation and evolution of a CSA.
