Opuntia violacea (syn. Opuntia santa-rita) - Purple prickly pear

Purple Prickly Pear is one of the most popular types of Prickly Pear used in the Southwest because of its durability and beauty. These have a naturally wide distribution in several areas of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts but they are only common in some places. The purple color on the pads will become more pronounced due to drought stress or during periods of cold weather. Pads are typically gray-green, with some purple hues, and can have a few long spines but all pads have numerous brown to black glochids. Plants ship bare root. Cuttings have no roots.

I thought they did a very good job. Being a very open minded person
Format: Kindle
Written by two Authors, each telling their story, I thought they did a very good job. Being a very open minded person, I found myself relating to a few of the many things they wrote about because I once experienced the exact same thing myself. Whether you believe what they tell you or not, they still did a great job! Fascinating and easy to read, I found myself wondering about this very large universe and all of the strange goings-on that people have been reporting for thousands of years. Are they right? Who can say? Life is a strange tapestry of events, and the authors(s) views and beliefs are as good, or better, than many other that I have read.

I'm totally invested in this book!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I'm new to this side of the world, ya know, the paranormal and such, but I'm here anyhow. Bradshaw Ranch and Skinwalker Ranch have most of my time these days. I'm so invested in the goings-on It's crazy. This book is really well written, easy to follow and very interesting. I hate reading, always have, I just don't do books other than school books. This book however, I can't stop reading it, I just have to know what happens next! This is just an overall good read about Bradshaw Ranch, and the similarities it has with Skinwalker Ranch, is just mind boggling. There's definitely something happening, just nobody knows yet!

Interesting recollections but lackluster photographic evidence
Format: Paperback
The book was kind of a hodge-podge of recollections from Linda Bradshaw (the previous owner) and Tom Dongo (UFO researcher). The stories were interesting. Lots of recollections of orbs, UFO activity, strange animals including Sasquatch, general anomalous high strangeness and interdimensionality. Linda’s son had time-loss and out-of-body experience with UFO that was recounted through hypnotic regression. He relayed messages from the beings to humans, general knowledge he gained from his experiences and close interactions with entities. The main detractor from a 5 star review, in my opinion, was the lack of clear photographs as well as the organization of the experiences. It is basically like a journal of random anomalous experiences, but the video and photographic evidence that was referenced over and over throughout the written portion of book is almost meaningless in my opinion. Use an old film camera on any night and it will capture balls of light, blurry smears of light refractions, etc. There are no clear images of aliens or excellent UFO images. There are a couple bigfoot footprint and molded footprint photos that are clearly discernible and interesting. There is one color photo that looks like a mothership but it could just be a cloud formation. Overall I think it is probably a good introduction to the Sedona area, what is possible, what has happened, what one could expect if they had the time to visit and research the portals and whatnot. I think it is probably worth the read, but the images leave a lot to be desired and are over-emphasized for what they actually are. The authors referenced video they had of anomalous phenomena including aliens, and I would be interested in that if they could include links to those in future printings.

Fascinating
It's impossible to put this book down. I've spent dozens of hours reading about the topics of Ufology, psi, cryptozoology, etc., enough to know that these are much, much more than : imagination, hoax, alien encounter(s). I've seen three UFOs myself and I know I wasn't imagining them but I don't really understand what they 'are'. I've had psi related experiences my entire lifetime. (I've never seen a bigfoot or a mothman, but boy would I like to lol). "The Trickster and the Paranormal", George Hansen, discusses in depth what these phenomena are (and are not); "Merging Dimensions" gives the reader as close to a first-hand look as possible without actually being there. I found that I did NOT have to suspend belief one bit since I actually have educated myself regarding the nature of these phenomena. Some of the photographs are hard to decipher but WOW that "portal" is amazing. It reminded me of a screen against a wall in a dark room, the sort projectors used to view slides (back in the good old days before digital photography). That part of the book written by Tom Dongo presented his conjectures (at the time the book was written, 16 years ago) regarding the nature of these phenomena. I don't agree with some of what he says and there are explanations for other of his statements. Since we now know that consciousness can effect result in measurement on the quantum level, we can postulate that the same effect is seen on other levels. On page 104, Mr. Dongo says "However, the incredible light retreated quickly away from the group when one of the six people became hysterical with fear. Fear drives these lights, or life forms, away." Fear disengages cognition, and it's contagious: if the man next to me becomes hysterical, I will react without control (it's a fight/flight mechanism, can't be reasoned away instantly) and, when that happens (when the other people's autonomic reactions kick in as a response to the hysterical man), cognition "flies out the window" and if our consciousness is in any way related to the phenomenon, without cognition it is rendered moot. One thing I do agree with is his following statement, "Reading and listening to everything of pertinence is the only way we can build a database for the internal guidance system to decide what is relevant and what isn't. Because of ignorance or a lack of information, some of the world's most entrenched beliefs and institutions were created thousands ofyears ago by a few who had in mind only power and profit. It's been proven that many of these beliefs have no verifiable historic record outside of the original document or decree itself. many of these dictums survive basically intact, even now." Accurate analysis of so many strongly held belief systems; people seem incapable (and unwilling) to let go of them. This is pure fear, of the unknown, and of stepping away from the herd mentality. I don't fool easily and I AM no fool. This hint at REALITY (rather than what we construe as such) is fascinating and Linda Bradshaw's advice regarding spiritual authority is spot on. I'm doing more research immediately; I'm going to see what's happened in the last sixteen years. I hope I don't find myself wearing chocolate shoes but, honestly, I'm so far out on a limb already that they might just provide me a much needed snack. :o/

accurate story about Bradshaw ranch
Format: Paperback
Having listened to online accounts of this ranch, this is an absolutely valid account. Talks about bigfoot, the greys, some angel like positive beings that come out of the portal on this property. They were forced to sell to the government which now owns the ranch. Even though there is a gate people climb it and explore the property. Abandoned ranch house, abandoned western town used in the cowboy films from the 50s-60s. Supposed to be a research project which is just a cover for what the govt is really doing there. Linda Bradshaw has amazing stories which you should read. Photos are why I bought it to see the entities and the orbs etc. Fascinating. Worth the money.
