  1. Why Are You Alive?

    Why Are You Alive?

    “Why are you alive?” I am often asked. By divine design is surely an answer as to why I am alive. It is an abSOULute miracle that I survived my MK Ultra victimization to heal and expose perpeTraitors and their nefarious crimes against humanity. Especially Bushes and Clintons. I am acutely aware many did not survive exposing half what I did in TRANCE Formation of America. TRANCE Formation of America is a pivotal reason why I am alive for several reasons. Intelligence insider Mark Phillips is key. Mark was working the highest levels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought. He was a spook, which meant he had Clearance to be any where he chose wearing any disguise; FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, Secret Service. Etc. Mark had friends in high places who respected him deeply for his wisdom, moral integrity, and fortitude. So when Mark lifted my daughter Kelly and me out of the Washington DC human trafficking swamp in 1988, he was not alone in his efforts to stop MK Ultra mind control, and the dark globalist agenda that is funded by child sex trafficking/harvesting. As quickly as I deprogrammed by writing out memory of my MK Ultra mind control experience, Mark’s friends investigated my claims and gathered evidence to support my testimony for Congress. National Security was invoked on my testimony in 1995 due to validity and overwhelming evidence… and because Bill Clinton was acting President. The 1947 National Security Act reverberates with meaning, and concerns for our survival were extreme. Upon advice, Mark and I quickly compiled validated testimony into book form TRANCE Formation of America which clean members of Congress- both Democrat and Republican- hand distributed to all members of Congress, Intelligence, and more. This saved our lives. The secrets were out. “Suiciding” us would only spotlight perpeTraitors’ guilt even more. Conventional Justice was at a standstill while Mark and I pursued the ultimate justice of positive change through public awareness. Agents incognito wearing suits, sunglasses, carrying briefcases, and hiding behind newspapers with eyeholes cut in them would attend every one of Mark’s and my speaking engagements to ensure we did not violate National Security restrictions with words like “revolution.” Mark and I walked a fine legal line akin to a tightrope for years in order to survive to speak out on my daughter Kelly’s behalf. Kelly was a victim of the system corrupted by our politically affluent abusers, was medically kidnapped by so-called child protective services, and held political prisoner for Reasons of National Security until she was 18. It was love for Kelly that compelled me to speak out, and love is the most powerful force by which to navigate and survive the impossible. ACCESS DENIED For Reasons of National Security documents our journey though the corrupted justice and mental health system, and is a must read for those still seeking to understand how we survived. So why am I alive? As long as I am still alive, I will continue to speak out until the ultimate justice of positive change through public awareness is achieved… for the children’s sake. My newest book Align with the Divine illustrates on a deeper level how Mark, Kelly, and I survived to expose the globalist dark agenda in light of truth that makes us free. All of us are much smarter than we think… literally. Experience Align with the Divine for your self. Like Mark always said, “wisdom outthinks criminal minds and artificial intelligence every time.” Wisdom is within us all and is our saving grace when we align with the divine within, gather our strength spirit and live our life’s purpose in light of love.

  2. Lt. Col. Michael Aquino Dis-spelled

    Lt. Col. Michael Aquino Dis-spelled

    Lt. Col. Michael Aquino was my primary MK Ultra mind control programmer for White House/Pentagon level black ops from 1980-1988. Aquino’s brutal, torturous mind control techniques were performed on various military, NASA, and DARPA installations. US Senator Robert C. Byrd, who appointed himself my owner in MK Ultra mind control when I was 13 years old, designated his friend Aquino as my programmer.  To prepare me for Aquino’s satanic themed mind control programming, Byrd sent me to the back woods swamps of Louisiana in 1977 for horrific satanic torture and conditioning by my first handler CIA assassin and occult serial killer Wayne Cox. By the time Aquino began systematic MK Ultra mind control programming, my mind had been shattered into compartmentalization with no capacity for continuity of thought or conscious awareness. I was totally robotic and subsequently programmed for use on White House/Pentagon levels. Fortunately for me, Intelligence insider Mark Phillips who was working the highest levels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought, rescued my daughter and me from the Wash DC human trafficking swamp in 1988.  Not only did Mark save our lives, he saved our minds by handing us keys to our birthright resiliency, inspiring us to heal from within.  Mark understood the level of MK Ultra mind control I had endured, and reminded me it is crucial to deprogram the program first in order to know my truth- passed instilled false illusions.  Mark studied mind sciences at the War College Psychological Warfare Division during the same time Michael Aquino was there studying mind brain function in order to undermined humanity’s free thought. Mark and Aquino were instant archenemies with Mark understanding free thought is sacred and Aquino seeking the strongest, most vile forms of mind control.  Aquino went on to write Mind War with General Paul Vallely, and founded the occult Temple of Set proliferating on military bases. Aquino was on the board of Marin Childcare Council which is located across the Golden Gate bridge from the Presidio where he was involved in the Presidio Daycare Scandal and subsequent coverup. My experience with Aquino was extensive, spanning my years as a Presidential model MK Ultra mind controlled slave. Appointed by Byrd, Aquino had access to Top Secret  installations where he would impose his version of torturous occult themed programming on me.  Byrd instructed him to also subject me to Voice of God programming. which was a well established MK Ultra theme reportedly used to infiltrate churches. Byrd and Aquino discussed at length their effective use of Voice of God programming on, among others,  President Jimmy Carter and Evangelist Billy Graham*.  By writing out memory of my torturous MK Ultra mind control experiences and deprogramming the program first as Mark suggested, I was able to remember the set up to programming, which empowered me to systematically unravel perceptual manipulation. Aquino programmed me for Operation Shell Game (TRANCE chapter 13). By deprogramming the program first, I heard him instructing me how to appear possessed. His torturous programming to convince me that I was evil and ‘full of the devil’ lost its hold on my mind when I wrote out his words. If I was “possessed”, why did he have to tell me rather than let evil forces do their thing? Could it be because he needed me to believe in the illusion for it to have power? Our human spirit is such a high vibration that evil’s low vibration cannot possess it. It is our saving grace....

    Erika Kirk When Mark passed away in 2017, I knew I was vulnerable from trauma and grief. Since I had healed from within myself using birthright methods Mark taught me in PTSD: Time to Heal, I had evolved with knowledge that is our defense against mind control and subsequently consciously chose to stand strong. We have been made perfect with resiliency of body, mind, and spirit. By reclaiming my free thought free will, I was free to consciously choose to align with the divine within. When past abusers descended on me like vultures, I watched their paradigms shift with realization that their darkness could no longer creep in my light. My vulnerability was divinely protected against their attempts to re-impose their MK Ultra means. Mind control is spiritual warfare that is won by divine design. The victory is already within us. To consciously claim our victory in light of free thought, it is imperative to remember who we are and why we are here by opening neuron pathways in our brilliant brains. Mind control’s trauma shuts down neuron pathways. We need to keep our brains firing properly by opening neuron pathways in order to maintain clarity of free thought. Being free to think to stand strong amidst traumatic grief’s vulnerability is our saving grace. Without it, we fall prey to those seeking to further their MK Ultra agenda. Assassinations occur to impose control. Anyone who does not cooperate with controls are eliminated from their position and replaced with someone who is compliant with demands of the agenda. Knowledge is our defense and vigilance is imperative. When Mark passed in 2017, I knew my highly political MK Ultra abusers would attempt to prove healing from mind control was not possible by taking me back under control. By standing strong with free thought free will intact, I continue to prove healing from within is abSOULute. It is our birthright to heal and be free to live life’s purpose. Had I fallen prey to therapeutic methods imposed from outside of myself, I would have layered over compartmentalized memory. Reprogramming leaves triggers in place to be reactivated at any time. Believing you are healed is vastly different from Being healed. Deprogramming from within self opens neuron pathways in the brain, freeing compartmentalized memory to be consciously dealt with whereby triggers are diffused. Neuron pathways in the brain are easily opened simply by moving a pen to write out trauma, grief and fear. The very act of moving a pen activates the logic part of the brain whereby shifting emotionally incomprehensible compartmentalized trauma or grief over to logic while it is written out on paper and consciously seen. Healing occurs psychiatrically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually all at once. Because I knew I was vulnerable after Mark passed, I took my time in moving forward. I did not speak publicly nor surround myself with distractions of loud music, tv, or social media devices. Instead, I focused within to strengthen in order to effectively carry our shared life’s purpose forward free of outside influence. In the silence I found miracles and something of the divine always unfolding. I found Mark’s love, wisdom, and beautiful memories living on in me, empowering me to honor him every step of the way toward my future. I withstood vicious attacks through numerous psy ops intended to undermind me, including imposters pretending to be my daughter. I did not defend my situation by revealing my daughter is with me, because she, too, was a target of past abusers seeking to prey on her.

  4. Triggers

    Triggers

    Triggers are neither good nor bad, it is how we consciously choose to respond to them that matters. In order to consciously choose, recognizing triggers is key to understanding their perceived effects and directing them. Keeping a notebook and pen within reach empowered me to make note of triggers before they slipped away or subconsciously drove my actions. If I was busy when my past intruded on my present, I would simply make note of the trigger to stop the intrusion. Later, when I was in a comfortable quiet space, I would take out my notebook, look at the trigger, and write out the memory- opening neuron pathways in my brain in the process.  Opening neuron pathways allows for conscious self control. Whether we are triggered by a traumatic past, or simply triggered to buy Big Pharma’s latest product as inspired by subliminal advertising, making note by hand is key to making wise choices.  My new book reSOULutions illustrates how to take control of triggers and ultimately reclaim self control and inner peace. Mark taught me at the very onset of my healing process to make collages as a way to trigger memory. He set a pile of magazines and newspapers in front of me in 1988, and told me to clip out anything that caught my attention and gave me pause. I kept these clippings in a box as suggested. Mark told me that how I assembled all those images would be like assembling pieces of my mind, and advised me to choose carefully.  Of course I kept my notebook  within reach, making note of images that flashed across my mind’s screen as a result of clipping key triggers. Later I would write out the memory in photographic detail as per birthright methods in PTSD: Time to Heal. Triggering my own repressed memory with collages was a giant step toward healing from decades of traumatic MK Ultra mind control. I found that through assembling the images, I could take control over my triggers and begin consciously directing my own actions. Since my collages are included in reSOULutions, I strongly recommend readers keep a pen and paper within reach to make note of any inspiration or in the event my old triggers trigger yours. My ability to cope with the reality of my experience took time, and I vented through poetry often written in the subconscious language by which I had been manipulated. Double and triple meaning words, making demands of my commanders, and taunting my abusers empowered me to cope.  When Mark passed away in 2017, I vented through poetry to cope with the grief of losing my hero, best friend, and soul mate.  The vast array of poetry I vented in order to cope may serve as inspiration for you to vent likeWise. These poems are as personal as my collages, yet are freely shared in reSOULutions as a healing tool for others.  Taking pen to paper inspires self control and inner peace, in addition to diffusing triggers. Make a grocery list on paper, and consciously question each item to make sure it is something you need rather than something you are triggered to buy from advertising. You will find it easier to stay focused in the grocery store, buying what you need, and remembering those needs with ease whether you look at your list or not. Having written the list by hand will help you mentally retain your list and stick to it without being triggered by products on the shelf. Other ways people trigger themselves may be through aroma therapy, sound or light therapy, church bells and chimes, mood music, and infinite other ways depending on life’s circumstances and conditioning. Repetition is the most basic form of mind control, whereby triggers are being deliberately set through controlled media and school indoctrination.   Read the entire article on Cathy's website HERE

    Church bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls all emit frequency that stimulates our brain, opening neuron pathways. Vibrational frequencies can also be used to compartmentalize memory, shutting down neuron pathways. Consider how harmonic tones in a song can trigger memory when you hear that song again. Perhaps it is a love song that reignites passion, or a melody that takes you back to teen years or childhood. Have you ever had a song come to mind that plays over and over again until it is annoying? This is akin to compartmentalized memory being triggered into photographic recall Understanding mind brain function empowers conscious control over what is allowed to influence or trigger thoughts and actions. Repetitive advertising narrative riding on deliberately tuned harmonic frequencies can trigger you to buy a product when you see it in the store whether you need it or not. Lyrics intended to incite violence riding on vibrational tomes that stimulate the part of your brain capable of violence is no accident. That little ting your phone makes when you get a text can either alert you to the message or demand your immediate attention depending on conditioned response. With constant repetition, frequencies like your cell phone’s notification ting become so engrained that response is no longer a free choice. Advertisements, music and tech industries, video games, children’s cartoons, and even news programs are driven by people who have access to “privileged” information on brain frequency manipulation which they use to their advantage.  Awareness is key to stopping intrusion in favor of wise choices. Think how different music can energize, regulate heart rhythm, or inspire relaxation.  What lyrics are riding on these deliberately tuned frequencies?  Be consciously aware of those lyrics because they are vibrationally intruding on your subconsious. MK Ultra mind control often uses both audible and subaudible frequencies to vibrate neuron pathways in the brain for mind control purposes.  Phone tone calls are a means of triggering programmed action, much like the ting on your phone alerts you to respond to a text- only with more intense demand. It was once believed that harmonic programming could only be deprogrammed by the same harmonic triggering. In fact, it is possible to deprogram technologically imposed programs through photographic conscious recall of those tones!  When I mentioned the sound of your text tone, could you hear it in your mind? Just like that song playing in your head can remind you of the time you fell in love, remembering a harmonic tone, how it was delivered, and by whom can diffuse the program when written out by hand.  Asking yourself questions such as “what makes me think I have been programmed with frequency” and “who told me that” can open neuron pathways. If your brain’s neuron pathways trigger open with tones from Tibetan bowls or chimes, what flashes in your mind? Write it out. For generations birthright information on our mind brain function has been suppressed, causing us to forget that we have photographic memory capability! By forgetting to use this capability, healing from within becomes disrupted by outside input.  Knowledge that is our defense against mind control, is also our birthright path to healing from within. We have been blessed with resiliency of body, mind, and spirit. When we access our divine photographic memory to remember who we are and why we are here, there is no limit to the healing that can occur… harmonic programming and all!

  6. Shape Shifting Conspiracy

    Shape Shifting Conspiracy

    Shape Shifting Conspiracy “Theories” MK Ultra survivors who deprogram the program first can heal from within to know their own truth.  We all need to know our own truth in order to discern truth in others. When we know our truth there is no need for validation outside of self and ultimately no need to shift other’s perceptions by demanding they see it our way. In today’s world of argumentative snap judgement, it would be wise to slow down to remember who we are and why we are here.  Are we here to parrot program we have been led to believe, or are we here to know and share truth that makes us free? By deprogramming the program first, I wrote out verbatim the voice of my programmers setting the stage for what I was to perceive. DARPA programming included creating a perception that I traveled back in time when in fact I was programmed for CIA black ops in Haiti. Haiti was so primitive in the 80’s it looked like I had traveled back in time! Had I believed the program, I would have missed the reality of what actually transpired as detailed in TRANCE Formation of America. Likewise, George Bush’s “You Are What You Read” program, which was also generated by DARPA, would have led me to believe and testify that Bush had shape shifted into a lizard. By deprogramming the program first, I heard the program verbatim setting up the holographic illusion of shape shifting into a lizard complete with the time lag while holograph equipment was placed. These days, I am confident the holographic illusion could be run much smoother than it did back then since holographs are now used commercially, even in restaurants. Back then it was newer technology, so I am happy to have deprogrammed the program first in order to get to the truth of what actually occurred rather than generate fear in others as intended. PerpeTraitors of the global slave society agenda some term New World Order are not like us and do not like us. Whether we call them aliens or demons, the point is the same: they are here within our realm to affect.  Truth frees us from fear and shatters illusions much the way knowing a magic trick breaks the spell. Pull back the wizard’s curtain to find it is just a person pulling levers to appear great and powerful in order to lord over those who believe the illusion. Consider that if Bush Sr. were actually capable of shape shifting here, why was he confined to a wheel chair in later years? And why did his shape shifting illusion only work at secret sites and not everywhere he went in public? There is always more to learn and know, so I choose not to limit possibility to only my life’s experience. Besides, I know the CIA is trained that the best lies are rooted in truth. Yet the truth of my experience is a piece of the puzzle that helps bring the big picture into focus. It may help others to know truth so they, too, can reclaim their own individual piece of the puzzle to bring to the table rather than bringing the same piece of program to the table and trying to pound it into the big picture. National Security was invoked on my testimony because evidence proved it true. Clean members of law enforcement and intelligence were able to obtain validating evidence including video record of what transpired in the White House with Bush. Nevertheless, Wikipedia labels me a Conspiracy Theorist whereby redefining proven testimony of life experience as “theory”. Is Wikipedia suggesting our government invokes National Security on “theories”? Read the full article on Cathy's website HERE

  7. Overcoming Victim Mentality

    Overcoming Victim Mentality

    Real-eyes you are waking up from your traumatic past to a world of deliberately socially engineered ignorance. It is up to you, and within you, to heal yourself. We have all been blessed with resiliency of body mind and spirit. Our brains have been made perfect, so why do we only use 10% as we are taught? Because we have been taught wrong! Deliberately. When Project Paperclip imported Nazi and Fascist scientists into the US in the wake of WWII, with them came the formula for mind control in order to perpetuate what Hitler, Bush, Biden, and self appointed self anointed global leaders term New World Order. A compliant society was needed, and mind control became the invisible menace for implementing it. Since knowledge is our defense against mind control, birthright information on mind brain function was immediately suppressed under the 1947 National Security Act.  Mark Phillips found this birthright information while working the highest levels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought.  He was appalled to see knowledge that is our defense against mind control, along with innate capabilities for healing from physical and mental trauma, had been withheld for generations from education, mental health, and medical communities and ultimately society as a whole.  Mark was bound by laws of sedition, as were many others in positions of intelligence who shared his outrage at the sanctioned usurping of human evolution.  When Mark lifted my daughter and me out of the Washington DC swamp of MK Ultra human trafficking, he handed me keys to my own mind. Since this is birthright information buried within us all, these methods are easy to self apply and result in abSOULute healing. Mark did not deprogram me. He empowered me to deprogram myself. In turn, I am sharing this information to all who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and soul to know truth. Since I am not bound by laws of sedition, and it was my experience to heal, you, too, can be empowered to heal from within your self free of misdirected, misinformed, intrusive outside input simply by quietly and privately applying PTSD: Time to Heal. Trauma activates our brain’s defense mechanism of shutting down neuron pathways to compartmentalize and repress memory. Deep in the subconscious, trauma undermines our thinking process, intrudes on our present, and  even manifests in ill health, unless it is dealt with through conscious awareness.  Trauma shuts down neuron pathways. Awareness opens neuron pathways. It is within you to reclaim self control and inner peace just as I did. Our brains were made perfect by divine design, complete with defense mechanisms and capacity to deactivate those mechanisms with awareness. Yet this birthright knowledge was censored for generations while humanity was conditioned to look outside themselves to Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Cult/occult religion to tell them how to live their lives. This gave control of life’s purpose to a handful of self appointed self anointed  puppetmasters hellbent on implementing their global slave society agenda. With information on the resiliency of body mind and spirit withheld for generations, Drs forgot that the subconscious never sleeps, even during surgery. This simple key would empower assurance of full healing rather than undermine the recovery process through adverse discussions in the operating room.  After generations removed from birthright resiliency, humanity forgot how perfect our bodies have been made. Instead, people bought into Big Pharma’s illusion that babies need over 79 vaccines in their first year in order to survive. Read the full article on Cathy's website here!
