When Timothy Inexperienced Beckley handed away on Might 31, 2021, he left behind a physique of labor that has few equals within the realms of Ufology and the paranormal.

Tim steadfastly pursued the reality underlying the nice mysteries of human existence, starting as a toddler, hiding beneath his mattress covers to learn “FATE Journal” by flashlight or listening to all-night paranormal radio host Lengthy John Nebel, whose call-in present on a serious New York station turned the template for reveals that got here later, like Artwork Bell’s Coast to Coast.

TIMOTHY BECKLEY- ALWAYS A FREE SPIRIT

By Maria D’Andrea   MsD, D.D.,DRH

Maria D’Andrea is a fulltime psychic who wrote a number of books that Tim printed, books she all the time adamantly declared had been written for use solely in probably the most optimistic of the way. She wrote a number of “How-To” books that educate the reader to awaken the psychic powers inside and put them to benevolent use for a myriad of causes. One in every of Maria’s titles is “Supernatural Phrases of Energy,” a part of her “Sure, You Can!” collection through which she helps the reader obtain a form of “self-empowerment.” She additionally contributed chapters to many books Tim assembled as group efforts through which a number of writers would provide their perception right into a given paranormal subject.

Tim affected so many lives whereas he was on this planet that we will’t even depend all of them. Together with his passing, we’re additionally discovering out about issues he did to assist others that he by no means spoke about. He simply helped everybody he cared about with out searching for a “thanks” or acknowledgements. He by no means talked about when he was shopping for meals for somebody, paying somebody’s lease, contributing to serving to somebody’s profession or any of the opposite selfless issues he did. He actually got here from his coronary heart and will likely be deeply missed.

I met Tim in 1985, after I was working at a psychic occasion doing Readings. He was already completed doing eight million issues in his life, and was there selling his books as a writer. We began chatting and realized we had a lot in widespread and had been in sync on a friendship stage. Due to our ranges of data within the non secular, psychic, paranormal and UFO fields, he requested me to write down a e book for him. I defined that I’d by no means written one. He countered by explaining that I COULD and gave me a topic he wanted a e book on on the time. So I gave him the primary chapter. After he stopped laughing, he mentioned, “I informed you so. And we’re going to do much more.”

Now I chortle as a result of Tim began me on this path with assist and friendship. I’ve someplace round 60 books out, together with a number of that I co-authored with gifted folks.  I used to be a visitor on Tim’s radio present along with his co-host Tim Swartz, (Tim was additionally gracious sufficient to be on my TV and radio present). I used to be additionally in a position to do quite a few  sorts of media work, in addition to educating and talking in my fields and so forth…and it ALL stemmed from him having a big coronary heart and introducing me to many various fields years in the past.

He was my confidant, shut buddy, household, journey companion, writer and companion in crime. Free spirits are typically this manner, proper? Tim was all the time humorous. He would provide you with hilarious ideas instantly after which neglect about them. I want I remembered all of them as a result of they’d have made an excellent e book.

He would go to a number of the identical locations to eat in his neighborhood in Manhattan and received to know the individuals who had been working there. At occasions, a few of us would get collectively and go. He would already know what to suggest off the menu that was good and he knew every of us sufficient to suggest meals that match our particular person tastes. Tim beloved to get us experimenting with completely different meals. He was very conscious and considerate that manner.

He knew at an early age what his Path of Life was. He began {a magazine} whereas younger and expanded his horizons as he went alongside life’s pathways.

I bear in mind once we would go ghost searching in varied states. Despite the fact that it was for work, we all the time had enjoyable. I might discover the spirit, if there was one (if a sighting wasn’t actual, he would by no means make one thing up) test it out, cope with no matter got here up and Tim would write in regards to the expertise as a prolific writer and discuss it within the media. He beloved to enlighten the general public on the odd issues in our universe.

His humorousness was all the time there. We’d ship photos forwards and backwards as pals after which we’d have separate work photos. He would name me and provide you with a title and simply say for me to write down a e book in regards to the topic. Teamwork is all the time factor. So on one event, his title for me was “Touring The Waves Of Time” and he put a “buddy” image on the again cowl. First I used to be slightly upset, as a result of it was an image of me on my bike, and right here I’m being skilled. After I known as him, Tim mentioned he thought it labored as a result of the e book was on journey and that’s what I used to be doing. He thought it match and was enjoyable. What can I say? That was Tim.

One other time we spoke about our varied UFO experiences He had just a few and he additionally had experiences channeling. He traveled to quite a few locations on a worldwide stage. Tim mentioned one among his favourite locations was Bora Bora. I bear in mind him telling me about his go to to Hawaii and the e book that got here from touring there. After his e book got here out about Kahuna Energy, for some time we had been calling him Daddy Kahuna. He all the time came upon probably the most fascinating, obscure data after which wrote about what he found. He was an exceptional researcher and writer. Tim was occupied with every little thing from science to the paranormal and the opposite realms past.

He was a filmmaker and in addition acted in some movies, plus he was in a e book the place he seemed very “dapper.”

As soon as throughout our travels, we had been reminiscing, and he informed me how, a few years in the past, he went to a celebration thrown by the Beatles with sitar music and rock stars among the many friends. I used to be asking extra in regards to the occasion and he checked out me and mentioned it was only one extra nice occasion he went to. He beloved events. It simply goes to indicate you the way a lot he received round. Tim was an skilled promoter and had his personal band for some time. That is just one instance of the fascinating contacts he had and plenty of become lifelong pals. Tim was actually nice at something he set his thoughts to.

He beloved to journey and once we would go on a visit I might like to take heed to his tales and adventures. He was a larger-than-life individual with none ego and a delicate coronary heart.

We’d go to UFO conventions and folks would know him and ask his opinion on varied issues. He would take the time to present them an actual reply from his perspective and never simply give a meaningless fast one, even when he was drained.

The title “Mr. UFO,” as Tim was recognized in lots of circles, took place attributable to his articles, lectures, books and magazines being on the supernatural, the odd, the offbeat and the unexplained.

There’s little doubt that I beloved Tim very a lot and that he was there for me when it got here to my work and my private life. But when I had been to sit down right here and write about all of his adventures I might be afraid that the police must dig him up and arrest him.

I’m certain there are beings in varied realms mourning Tim and questioning what he’s as much as the place he’s. In any case, being inspirit doesn’t imply it’s an ending, only a completely different vibrational shift.

He was so various that it’s not possible to say all that he was and all that he did. Anybody figuring out Tim was going to enter into unknown territory in an exquisite manner. I really feel blessed to have been his buddy and thought of a part of his household.

We stored telephone contact however not a complete lot of it, and in 1982, my daughter, our animals, and I, moved to San Diego. I had meant to get into educating on the market however couldn’t. A hiring freeze was in impact attributable to a recession, plus I didn’t have my grasp’s diploma.

This time he stayed some time, and he instructed to me that I do psychic readings door to door.

I first turned conscious of Tim Beckley and Internal Mild/International Communications again within the Nineteen Seventies. Having had paranormal experiences all through my (then) younger life, I eagerly sought some solutions, and Tim’s publishing corporations supplied not solely reprints of obscure and arduous to search out texts however collections of ongoing phenomena on our planet and within the heavens above.

Comforted by studying that I used to be not alone, I fervently hoped that sometime my very own accounts can be added to those chronicles. I began writing down a few of my very own experiences.

Within the latter half of the last decade (although nonetheless technically a teen) I used to be the Deep Trance Medium for a small Theosophical-Spiritualist group in New York Metropolis and had began talking publicly on issues metaphysical.

Invited to go to family in New Brunswick, New Jersey, I leapt on the likelihood. Although I really beloved these family and sincerely wished to see and spend time with them, I additionally had an ulterior motive: New Brunswick was the purpose of origin of my cherished tomes from Internal Mild/ International Communications. Questing for the writers and their places of work didn’t show fruitful on that event – however I attempted, given the time I had.

Throughout the Nineteen Eighties I tried to stay a “regular” life. Tim Beckley (aka Mr. UFO) and his intrepid band of explorers and chroniclers of the unknown supplied me with a much-needed connection to the bizarre life (I assumed) I’d left behind by means of their many publications.

The Nineties dawned with my re-embracing my totality and diving again into the fringes of actuality. I lastly met Tim Beckley and a few of my different heroes on the Fortean Society’s formal conferences and casual gatherings within the Large Apple.

Within the early 2000s I reconnected with Tim (aka Mr. Creepo) and received to know him. He was, throughout this era, cheerfully engaged in publishing, making films and having different thrilling adventures. I reviewed a few of these books, CDs and movies and interviewed a number of the of us concerned on my podcasts – together with Tim Beckley.

This continued on and off for over a decade. I received to fulfill many fascinating folks by means of Tim and have gotten shut with a few of them. The tip of the 2010s noticed me as a contributor to Tim’s paranormal anthologies and by the beginning of the 2020s my writings had appeared in sixteen of those books.

Tim, alas, handed on Might thirty first, 2021. Although we weren’t buddies, we had been pleasant and had communicated for an extended span of years. I vastly loved working (and interacting) with Tim. He was one among my position fashions rising up and I used to be vastly honored to be a part of his band of otherworldly chroniclers. Trying again, my solely remorse is my choice to attend till he felt higher earlier than I known as to say “Hello! How are you?” and discover what tasks had been looming on the horizon.

Thanks, Tim Beckley, for enriching over half a century of my life along with your distinctive self-expression, generosity and unbridled creativity! And because of all who’ve stored and who will proceed to maintain Tim Beckley’s legacy alive!

Onwards!

TIMOTHY GREEN BECKLEY: THE TEACHER WHO OPENED MY EYES

By Sean Casteel

By the point Sean Casteel started writing for Timothy Inexperienced Beckley, he had already spent years toiling on this planet of mainstream journalism, writing about authorities applications that labored to assist the poor and disabled and different makes an attempt to remedy America’s social ills usually. When Casteel found the world of UFOs and alien abductions, a wholly new profession opened up for him and he by no means seemed again. Casteel contributed articles to “UFO Universe” and “The Conspiracy Journal” for a few years earlier than Tim started publishing Casteel’s books.

Despite figuring out that Tim had been in failing well being for the final a number of years, his sudden demise by coronary heart assault nonetheless got here as fairly a shock, a shock that lingers now and a loss that will likely be felt ceaselessly.

I first started to work for Tim in earnest within the winter of 1995, after he had printed my Q and A with pioneering abduction researcher Budd Hopkins and subsequently my Q and A with movie director Robert Clever, who had helmed the UFO traditional “The Day the Earth Stood Nonetheless.” Thus started the 26 years of our relationship, which might contain journal articles, books and appearances on Tim’s podcast, “Exploring the Weird,” cohosted with Tim R. Swartz.

Tim Beckley as soon as informed me that there have been two primary sorts of UFO fans. There are the dilettantes, who’re at first completely absorbed by the subject, however then, when their private pet concept doesn’t work out or they have to confront the truth that absolute solutions to the varied mysteries stay elusive, abandon the topic in frustration.

Then Tim mentioned that the opposite form of UFO fanatic is a “lifer,” somebody whose devotion to discovering out the reality is at occasions obsessive however by no means flags or weakens because the years go by. Tim was definitely such a lifer himself, and he died within the midst of laboring over one more e book, on this case an examination of the alleged joint human/alien underground facility mentioned to be positioned in Dulce, New Mexico. He left no stone unturned as he chipped away on the boulder that’s the unknown and the paranormal.

Like a lot of his era, Tim began out as a “nuts-and-bolts” believer, at first satisfied that UFOs had been a better bodily know-how piloted by flesh-and-blood aliens. Because the years handed, he increasingly more embraced the nonphysical, paranormal method, believing that the guests had been from one other dimension and able to many phenomena we name “supernatural.” Or a minimum of a complicated know-how that appears supernatural to we people.

Tim finally espoused the speculation that UFOs, ghosts, NDEs, spiritualism, and so forth., had been all a part of one continuum and that mankind was topic to a big spectrum of phenomena that sprang from a single supply. Whenever you studied one aspect of the paranormal, it all the time included ties to a different aspect.

In his later years as a writer, Tim struggled mightily with the darkish facet of the topic. Titles like “Screwed by the Aliens” and “UFO Hostilities and the Evil Alien Agenda” mince no phrases about his typically damaging tackle the UFO occupants.

However he’ll possible be remembered for his lighter take as properly. The final e book Tim and his staff of writers accomplished earlier than his demise was “Alien Lives Matter, It’s OK To Be Gray.” Despite the fact that a few of us on Tim’s staff thought the title may be seen as “trivializing” the Black Lives Matter Civil Rights motion, Tim countered by saying that the idea had been appropriated already by Hawaiians (Hawaiian Lives Matter) and Jewish folks (Jewish Lives Matter) and there was even a bit on Amazon the place a very separate enterprise was promoting “Alien Lives Matter” t-shirts.  

The e book turned out to be a battle for Tim and our complete staff, nevertheless it additionally turned out to be a relative bestseller for us. Each time I spoke the title to somebody, it by no means did not get a chuckle and a phrase of encouragement about how it might be a preferred title, and it was. Tim made certain to incorporate a number of chapters on Black UFO experiencers and believers as properly, folks whose contacts had been for probably the most half very optimistic.

I can by no means thank Tim sufficient for exposing me to so many points of the paranormal that I had by no means taken an curiosity in previous to working for him. I used to be known as upon to analysis topics like ghosts and hauntings, mediums and séances, even the clairaudience of Joan of Arc and the spiritualist beliefs of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Tim had a manner of main me down paths I’d by no means trod earlier than and increasing my horizons significantly.

Towards the tip of his life, he did fight along with his personal understanding of the determinism of “the Matrix,” and gathered his staff collectively to do a e book on it with the wordy title “The Matrix Management System of Philip Ok. Dick and the Paranormal Synchronicities of Timothy Inexperienced Beckley.” It was a topic he typically noticed the malevolent facet of as he questioned whether or not “synchronistic” experiences, or “nonrandom coincidences,” in some way undermined human free will. If our lives usually are not beneath our personal management, then who IS controlling every little thing? Like Jacob wrestling with the angel within the Guide of Genesis, Tim made a decided fight to keep up his sense of private autonomy.

Tim Beckley will all the time be an inspiration to me and an individual I’m glad to have shared my life with. 

MY FRIEND, TIMOTHY GREEN BECKLEY  

By Tim R. Swartz

One of many first books about UFOs that Tim R. Swartz purchased from Grey Barker’s Saucerian Press turned out to be the primary e book that Timothy Inexperienced Beckley wrote…”The Shaver Thriller and the Internal Earth.” Even thought they didn’t understand it on the time, Tim R. Swartz and Tim Beckley’s paths would cross a number of occasions earlier than they really met. Beginning when he was a teen, Tim R. Swartz investigated and wrote about UFOs and the paranormal for varied UFO-related magazines, however his profession in tv typically sidelined his curiosity and analysis on this planet of the bizarre. Due to Timothy Inexperienced Beckley, Tim was in a position to renew his love for the unexplained and attain a worldwide viewers who was wanting to be taught simply how splendidly unusual our universe really is.

******

Timothy Inexperienced Beckley was such a novel and charismatic character that I want the best way we first received to know one another was as spectacular as the best way he lived his life.

Our first introduction, nevertheless, took place because of the USA Air Power.

In 1983, after I was working for a tv station in Dayton, Ohio, I used to be in a position to safe an interview with UFO investigator J. Allen Hynek.  Hynek was on the town to present a speak about Undertaking Blue Guide on the Nationwide Museum of the U.S. Air Power at Wright-Patterson Air Power Base. 

After my story ran on the native information, it was picked up by the CBS satellite tv for pc feed, which allowed CBS stations all throughout the nation to run the story as properly.  Timothy Inexperienced Beckley noticed my story on WCBS in New York and managed to trace me right down to ask for a VHS copy and a transcript, which I used to be pleased to offer for him.

From that time on, barely per week glided by the place I didn’t hear from Tim a method or one other.  He would both name me, or ship me a letter (this was pre-internet), to speak about UFOs, films, or any of the opposite issues that we had been mutually occupied with. 

When he began publishing “UFO Universe,” he requested me if I might be occupied with offering him with some articles, do analysis and assist punch up articles from different writers.  After all I used to be excited to assist out along with his new UFO magazines…I had written articles for magazines like “Saga’s UFO Report” after I was in faculty, nevertheless it had been years since I had written something for publication.

From magazines to books, to direct to video films, Timothy Inexperienced Beckley was all the time popping out with new and fascinating issues for us to try. I typically thought his concepts had been insane, and I might inform him so…however, for probably the most half, I used to be all the time sport to associate with his loopy concepts just because they appeared like enjoyable.

In the event you take heed to any archived episode of our radio present “Exploring the Weird,” which aired on the KCOR Digital Radio Community, you possibly can hear how a lot enjoyable we had been having, and Tim was all the time a treasure trove of UFO information.  In truth, the uncommon occasions that on the final minute, one among our friends couldn’t do the present, Tim and I may simply do the complete two-hours simply speaking about all the bizarre issues on this world that ceaselessly intrigued us.

It’s troublesome to write down about all the nice occasions that Timothy Inexperienced Beckley and I had as a result of I by no means thought they’d finish. I preserve anticipating him to name me up with one other of his wild adventures…in truth, I wouldn’t be in the least shocked if he did handle to take action from wherever he has gone after leaving this mortal coil. 

So when my days on this planet draw to a detailed, I hope that Mr. UFO swings by on his mothership to select me up so we will proceed on with our adventures.  This time, nevertheless, there will likely be no limits; we may have the complete universe to discover.  I’m trying ahead to that.
