UFOs & Twin Peaks
S. Miles Lewis is a friend and someone I have a lot of respect for, given the sheer scale of time and effort he puts into alerting people to what’s going on in our world at a paranormal and conspiratorial level.
He’s just set up Anomaly Magazine: an online publication that is looking very good. Today, he delves into the world of the classic early 1990s TV show Twin Peaks, and its ufological and esoteric connections. There’s more to come too.
As Miles says:
“Here is a show oozing with occult intrigue and mythic significance. [David] Lynch would tap into the seemingly unrelated realms of CSI style FBI investigation of a possible serial killer in an idyllic town, the Air Force’s UFO investigation called Project Bluebook, the occult war between the supernatural forces of the Black Lodge and White Lodge, the double crossing, drug dealing, prostituting, seedier side of a small community, the spiritual journey of a mystical FBI agent who uses a combination of Buddhism, dream analysis and divination techniques to fight crime and … did I mention the ‘Log Lady’?
“These and many other magickal mysteries from the TV series Twin Peaks will be the first guideposts for our phenomenological exploration and criminal expose within this column. In our next installment we’ll dive deeply into the nitty gritty behind the creation of the series and the nature of Lynch’s vision and creative process, while paying special attention to the specific real world examples of paranormal research that back up the weird and wacky storyline of the Twin Peaks universe.”
Here’s the link to the article. Keep reading Anomaly Magazine: as someone not afraid to think outside of the box, Miles deserves our support.

Miles and I are often poles apart on
any number of issues-but I’ve never
known anyone with more passion for the
spirit of inquiry. His willingness to
consider a variety of viewpoints, his
dedication to preserving the documents
of the paranormal, and his simple human
decency all mark him as someone worthy
of recognition in the field of Anomaly
investigation. Its an honor and a
pleasure to work with him.

My favorite all time lines from Twin Peaks:
Log Lady: “My log saw something last night.”
Cooper: “What did it see?”
Log Lady: “Why don’t you ask it.”

My latest research explains the log lady.
Yes you raise a very interesting point about objects and consciousness - how humans, if we store up energy, can then charge objects with consciousness and also read consciousness of objects — telemetry I think it’s called.
Qigong master Chunyi Lin does this what water — over the phone. He’s had great success in healing cancer by having people drink water over an extended time after he charges it up over the phone. http://springforestqigong.com
Anyway in the past three days I’ve sped read about 3 dozen books.
In the book “Parrot’s Lament” a conversation with biology professor Donald Griffin is mentioned that’s fascinating. Griffin discovered echolocation in bats and went on to study animal consciousness. Griffin notes that in a bee experiment the bees actually rejected information that pollen could be located in the middle of a lake. Griffin goes on to state he believes that invertebrates do have real consciousness — the awareness to make judgments, possibly even moral judgments.
While this info is not new (see Jacque Cauvin’s amazing book on the subject, or Lyall Watson, etc.) it is definitely rejected by mainstream science. Donald Griffin is a very well-established mainstream scientist.
I think it was a book on human evolution that noted that Jane Goodall believes when primates experience an emotion they HAVE to vocalize it.
Meanwhile a neuroscience book I read states that while destruction of Wernicke’s Area — or Broca’s area — the left cerebral cortex near the rear center — does destroy almost all language abilities –
EXCEPT FOR COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE MIDDLE AND LOWER BODY (not including feet).
So this, as per Dr. Daniel Levition’s new book “This is Your Brain on Music” — demonstrates the close relation between music as a language of emotion and body movement and early tool use.
So this is strong evidence that gestures, tool use and language did coevolved — as I’ve maintained — the left-brain, right-hand dominance that was then transferred to the “symbolic revolution” of Freemasonry in 10,000 BCE — the abstract “containment” of infinity through rectilinear geometry.
Oh yeah — and then there was another example of the Bantu matrilineal shaman cults in Africa. A recent memoir by a Brit whose dad “went Native” in Kenya gave further details about hyaena shape-shifting and special communication with snakes, etc. I had read of other examples in West Africa — the standard training just like Taoist Yoga and in traditional Brazilian training –is for the males to live isolated in a sacred grove for 3 months straight — so that the “foundation is laid” - as Taoist Yoga states — the 3rd eye is permanently opened with direct resonance of pure female formless awareness.
Finally Wittgeinstein, like Gregory Bateson, focused on what he called “language-games” — the logical paradoxes found in giving orders, jokes and almost all types of communication.
Wittgeinsten notes that these language-games are not just so complicated as to undermine math-based logic but also that they reveal the hardest thing for humans to accept:
THE GROUNDLESSNESS OF OUR BEING.

It’s an excellent article. I happened to have loved Twin Peaks at the time (still do)– remember the Col. and the owls?

Miles,
I merely put up links. Nick gave you a full-fledged plug. Forgive me!
I’ve known Miles for about 15 years. He’s stuck with the subject and continues to be a force to be reckoned with on the paranormal front, as well as providing valuable info at elfis.net, anomaly TV, and now the magazine.

I once had a huge fight at Village Inn with my friend over some dorky bit of Twin Peaks minutia. Ah, those were the days. It is kind of unbelievable that show was ever even on TV. It’s really great, and quite the enigma. Thanks for the Anomoly magazine link–looks great.

Even though the Log Lady “seemed” nutty as a soapdish, I don’t think that was the case. As I recall, it was hinted that the spirit of her late husband inhabited the log, and within his log realm he had witness a lot of the shadowy doings in Twin Peaks.
One of my brushes with the rich and famous I had occurred in the California Central Valley around or right after Twin Peaks was cancelled, when I saw the guy who discovered Laura Palmer’s body “wrapped in plastic”…I forget the character’s name now, but he was the same guy who starred in Eraserhead…I saw him in a Stop And Go getting himself a couple of hot dogs, and he seemed like sort of a lost soul to me…not long afterwards, I heard his wife got strung out on drugs and committed suicide, and he didn’t make it much longer than that…
Just thought I’d share a bit of holiday cheer!

Jack Nance is the name of the actor. He was married to Jerry Van Dyke’s daughter, Kelly. His life was every bit as strange as Twin Peaks. He was a real life Lynch-ian character and pretty damned good character actor as well. His death was also very mysterious.
One of my girlfriends went as The Log Lady at a very strange Halloween party in ‘90 and I went as Bob.
I never understood why everyone thinks that Twin Peaks or the X-Files were so eeire. More precisely, why wouldn’t the convergence of UFO, paranormal and cryptozoological activity happen in the same place especially in areas of low population density. If there are other non-human intelligent beings occupying or visiting the planet, they would probably wish to avoid what is arguably the most dangerous creatures on the planet, humans. I think that those of us who are interested in the parapolitical/paranormal subjects need a paradigm shift in the way that these subjects are approached. The approaches that we’ve used so far have only created even bigger questions like what is the true nature of reality rather than actually providing a plausible explanation. I look forward to Anomaly Magazine’s growth.
