Ted Harrison

In the news, Ted Harrison passed away January 16, 2015 at the age of 88 in Victoria B.C., Canada. He is a renowned Canadian painter most famous for his paintings and  love of the Yukon, its nature, people and animals. His art work has his own distinct style of beautiful child-like charm.

Ted Harrison was born in England, and had worked and lived in different places, including India, East Africa, Malaysia, New Zealand and Canada (in Carcross and Whitehorse of Yukon, then retired in Victoria). He designed the art work of the Yukon Pavilion at the 1986 World Expo in Vancouver B.C. He had won different awards and honorary Doctor's degrees, and  was made a member of the Order of Canada in 1987. I met Ted and his wife Nicky many times at his home and work studio in Whitehorse. RIP Ted Harrison !

Midway Hotel

Some years ago, I was driving north to Dawson from Whitehorse for the first time. Dawson City was the old capital of Yukon. It was the center of the Klondike Gold Rush back in 1898. While I was driving, I suddenly had a vision in my mind, or rather above my head. I saw a highrise hotel named Midway Hotel.

I don't know how to explain what a vision is. There is no need for an explanation, if you had such an experience yourself. Look at it this way: a vision is like a dream which lasts for only a few seconds. Other similar experiences are described by people as having an idea, an inspiration, a waking dream, an awakening, premonition or clairvoyance.Of course, some people would think that you are nuts if you tell them that you had a vision. Others would think that you are a prophet or an alien.Whatever!

However you think, I am not alone.Many people have such extrasensory perception experiences. Did you ever have the experience that a good friend or loved one came to mind; then the phone rang and it was the same person that you saw in your head just a few seconds ago? Or did you have the experience that you heard a song in your head; then you walked into a store or restaurant, and that same song was being played, almost like specially for you? 

After seeing the Midway Hotel in my vision in split seconds, I knew I would see it on my way to Dawson. Lord and Behold, it happened so fast.Within the next ten minutes or so, I saw Midway Lodge coming into sight.It was not a highrise hotel, but the name of Midway was the same as what I saw in my vision, and it was a place for accommodation. The Midway Hotel, a modern highrise in my vision, had become the modest Midway Lodge in physical reality.

There are still so many things that we don't fully understand. Neither Religion nor Science is able to explain everything clearly to everyone's satisfaction. After many years of diligent studies and observations, I have become much more confident in Science than in Religion. I'm waiting for a new Einstein to explain to me, scientifically, whether extrasensory perception is real, and how does it work. Singularity is getting closer and closer, but it has not yet arrived. I'm patiently waiting.          

Harper Goes to Whitehouse

Slip of the tongue? A news reporter reports that Canada's Prime Minister Harper is in Whitehouse. He means Whitehorse, but it is true that Harper has been Americanizing Canada for years. Recently in the news, Harper may even allow American cops to come to Canada to help the RCMP maintain law and order.That is really crazy !!!
