John L LaCasse Ph.D., MBA
TENSION is an overview of personal stories and recollections of lived experiences by ordinary people of extraordinary capacity.

From the Ross Stewart Andrew Studio in Seattle
“In today’s frame many women are overextended - addicted to their mission to take care of other people’s needs. For all women who do too much, John is the answer. John is the inspiration. John is the positive change. John is the open door to a new way of living. John is a woman’s escape to wisdom.” John is rehearsing these lines in the studio before they go on. Merrilee walks in from makeup. Merrilee hears John’s recital. Merrilee begins to laugh - she keeps laughing with increasing intensity. She begins to cough and laugh. The producer steps in “we’re going to delay opening the show until Merrilee stops laughing.” Merrilee looks straight at John. John answers with locked eyes. They both begin to laugh and laugh and laugh. The producer says “We are done here. John and Merrilee, go dry out somewhere. I want you back here at 0 dark thirty tomorrow morning!” John and Merrilee head for the canteen- they’re still laughing.

To stop holding people in wretched subservience in a corrupt social system is what Merrilee hallmarks in Love. Her book “The Game” received 3 international awards in the past 30 days. Obviously the literary community believes she is on to something. Today John spends the hour in her light. Merrilee may be the Jean-Jacques Rousseau of the 21st Century.

Merrilee takes John on a circuitous walk along the path of change. John keeps positioning for control - just in case he changes his mind. Merrilee doesn’t seem to care - a hallmark of her style. Eventually our entire monetary system collapses under Merrilee‘s description and John can’t handle the confusion. John continues to see society being run by the prescription of the industrial revolution. Merrilee, by contrast, sees the revolution as a mistake as she defers to her own higher order. John acknowledges her ability to prevail but presses her for management policy. She gives John the new debit card approach. “Please safely destroy your existing card.” John figures it out - her wisdom within. They laugh.

One of the fascinating aspects of John and Merrilee is how they never let spirituality or science get in the way of their opinions. Merrilee gives John chapter and verse on the existence of God and John pukes on his bib and says he finds a tree in the backyard more interesting.

John becomes candid about Merrilee’s story - about to be released by Sunbury Press. “FLOPPY FEATHERS” This is the first time John advanced the importance of the phenomenon around Merrilee - the staggeringly powerful starseed from NGC-234. You can look that up. Merrilee in context is amazingly brilliant. Our future with her even brighter. Merrilee was uneasy. She is the most powerful person in our galaxy, and living into that requires introspection.

The deepest human questions sometimes plague modern science. Not Merrilee. She can strap an answer on anything John throws down / and quickly. Merrilee has decades of professional experience.

The iconic feature of Merrilee is her relationship with nature. She is “seen” by nature and nature provides her a kind of cosmic protection. This relationship allows Merrilee’s life to thrive in real time. Thus comes the phrase “Make yourself happy with Merrilee.” She gives society the answer in “The Game,” her award winning codices on method. It’s fun to listen to Dr. John dance around trying to avoid being out-foxed by her positions. The editors suspect he will be doing this for a long time - maybe forever.

Just another example of Merrilee’s capacity. As she advances, John takes note. The differences between John and Merrilee are striking. She lets God move her seamlessly while John remains stuck in some form of general accounting practice. Their mutual respect has a power of its own. John sharpens his pencil as Merrilee blows the shavings off his desk and pushes his chair out of the way. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have nothing on these two.

John and Merrilee dive into probability vs fact. There was a reason however, the reason was immediately lost in the weeds. John argues for science and Merrilee argues for God. Of course, they are both correct in the context of their arguments however, neither of these people enjoy giving any ground. The learning in this segment is that a man and a woman can argue for a solid hour and walk away, smiling. John and Merrilee fight for positions that exist in metaphysics and physics that are difficult to explain unless the listener is willing to accept the speaker's position. Merrilee is skillful in holding her position by simply reminding John that he’s wrong. John is not accustomed to being told he’s wrong, as his high school debate team has the longest-standing win record in high school debate now as a matter of record in the Library of Congress. And yet with that background, Merrilee keeps John spinning with the most sophisticated technique in debate. True to her form of operating like Occam‘s razor, she steps momentarily away from logic and simply tells her opponent - he’s wrong and waits for a response. Merrilee shoots God like a pair of six guns at the OK corral. What we have is Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Cody over a couple of rounds at the cowboy bar.

Movies and Bibles. That’s right. John and Merrilee decide the “Family Stone” is the best Christmas movie ever. Then John suggests Merrilee might consider modifying her “international Impact Award” book “The Game” to appeal to a more secular audience. Merrilee smiled. John noticed her positioning as her spine morphed into one-inch stainless steel rebar. Then John introduced several examples of modified biblical text.

Today John and Merrilee hit all the markers. Ethics, Philosophy, the Phenomenology of Perception, the Order of Time, Being and the Epistemology of Thought. Remaining true to their style, John would postulate a situation around a circumstance and call for the question. Merrilee would answer with her marquee response “No!” Finally John postulated the compromise by staging both of them in a moving car. Merrilee looking out the windshield and John looking out the back window. John sending signals to Merrilee about his assessment of road conditions. Merrilee’s response - “ I saw it first.” Wait.

Considering we know a great deal about being "old" we decided to begin doubling-down on the septuagenarian listener. As it turns out 84% of Tension Podcast followers have a lot of water under their bridge - if you get my drift .

With that in mind, we discuss some famous NDE experiences including Dr. Eben Alexander, former academic neurosurgeon Harvard School of Medicine and Brigham & Women's Hospital. We also cover our take on whether he went to heaven as he claims, or somewhere else, as we speculate.
We cover two additional NDE and Lucid Dream experiences that point to evidence that the people who died (if that be the case) this month, of COVID-19, are not dead, but in a state of being in universal consciousness.

Dr. James Robb, DM FCAP wrote a letter to his friends and colleagues. In the letter he covers the basics of how we should protect ourselves from COVID-19. Some of his information conflicts with what we are getting from CDC et al. The reason this is important is that Dr. Robb "was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses. " He "was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained." We review his letter, and highlight the conflicting information. Some of us may recall "The Life and Times of Irving Stone (New York Times) publisher was Scribner - written by Myra MacPherson "All Governments Lie."

As we closed out 2019 we became aware of derivative states of the fundamental mystery of the mind. When are you "dead", and when are you not "dead" - so to say. To open the exploration of this question, we decided to go with a couple of ordinary people of extraordinary capacity, if that sounds familiar. We were interested in the experience, as well as the bravery, associated with the story of Near Death Experience NDE. Which, for all who remain interested, is a new group on Facebook called Near Death Experience NDE. So, if you find this interesting, join the conversation and tell us your story.
