TOM ABEYTA'S VEHICLE @
MURPHY PARK IN SUNNYVALE

THIS IS FROM MY FACEBOOK PAGE:

"Today I found my US Army veteran friend unresponsive in his vehicle while bringing him some food; I knocked on the window several times with my key then noticed he was not breathing; so I called the police who responded then broke a window to open the car and sure enough my friend US Army veteran Tom Abeyta had passed away...

He was a native American veteran of two wars in Korea and Vietnam as a sniper embedded in the jungle; and when he was young he died in his sleep which his father didn't think was serious while his mother disagreed and rushed him to the hospital where they revived him and he immediately did a bunch of push-ups which freaked out his Mom...

(I do push-ups in a park on my walk everyday which he used to see from his vehicle line of sight which I saw at some sort of cosmic connective behavior)

And he said he never told anybody this story but during that time that he died he saw two angels who told him that he was not ready and had to go back; after which he woke up...Later going to war absolutely fearless and willing to do things nobody else would because he had already been dead and knew there was nothing to be afraid of;

Tom looked at his military duty as just doing his job and that job was to kill the enemy -- and let's face it: it's kill or be killed when you're on the battlefield much like police who must make quick decisions;

So I would imagine at some point that just becomes a new way of living and surviving...That many people would not be able to cope with; making me finally realize good soldiers are not only invaluable but very special human beings; and instead of calling the police about minor incidents some people might call the police over; I would talk to Tom and realize after my problems were small compared to what he faced embedded on the battlefield in the jungle; and it would make me feel better...

We would often salute each other at the end of conversations and felt like we were the neighborhood sentry's keeping an eye on things; but I didn't bother him all the time I would wave or thumbs up most of the time and stop to talk to him maybe every week or every couple weeks...

I tried to respect his private nature...

Tom also owned two houses one of which his son lived in the other his wife who he still got along with but broke up with after 27 years of marriage; and he had stopped drinking and did not do drugs and had no physical injuries from war and his hearing was intact and he didn't work all the time he just liked to sit in his car and have peace and look at his phone;

To the neighbors Tom looked like a homeless guy but he wasn't as he owned two homes and just liked living the way he was living simple as that; you could call him damaged but he always had a pleasant personality and just kept to himself;

But between his childhood death experience and his war experience he was wondering when he was going to die all the time calling his car a coffin because I think he had a very unique perspective on life and death; and about a week or two ago I noticed his car hadn't moved for a couple days so I checked up on him and it turns out he got sick for a few days and of course wondered why he hadn't died yet which I just laughed about because that was just his perspective and not mine;

I spent most of my life more afraid of death than your average person in the years after my Mom died when I was 10 years old; so in a way Tom's attitude was a breath of fresh air for my lifelong fears;

(Imagine how boring it would be if we were all the same? I can't help but think this all happened for a reason but I'm going to have to process it for a while to figure out the larger perspective on that)

Then Tom got better and seemed fine doing his thing again in the last few days and our last conversation was right after some Mexican kid almost ran me over with a motorcycle in the park parking lot which of course I had to go and talk to Tom about instead of calling the police; realizing during the conversation that Tom had probably dealt with crazy people on motorcycles while he was at war as a common form of guerrilla warfare;

It started out with people on horses with swords that eventually turned into people on motorcycles with machetes or guns or rocks as I mentioned and laughed which he agreed with; he dealt with so much crazy shit at war it's not even funny;

And that's just an expression but it may actually have turned on Tom the way he had an unusual obsession with death so different than my obsession being so afraid of it he was not; which makes me afraid that he may have taken his life;

The coroner's report is not available yet but if Tom did not take his life I'm wondering why he got sick a few weeks ago and what he was sickened with; the coroner's report should determine this according to a Sunnyvale DPS representative I spoke to; and I hope there's no foul play since his death came suspiciously right after the 250 year US Army anniversary on Sunday which was the last day I spoke to Tom; one of my theories is that his car battery kept dying so he would leave his engine running to recharge the battery so I'm wondering if his own car exhaust has something to do with this although his windows were rolled up...

Anyway there's no use speculating but a life has been lost and I have had a very heavy heart most of the day; glad that I knew this individual that I could help out -- bringing him food and water when he needed it most after being sick for a few days as his only friend during his last days on Earth...

Rest in peace Tom; I know God forgives you and I already forgave you for anything that may have happened on the battlefield; 10-4 over and out..."

Carry on...

1 JAN 2023: SUNNYVALE AVENUE RAILROAD CROSSING -- I TOOK THIS PHOTO ON NEW YEARS DAY 2023 ALLEGEDLY 'NOT KNOWING' I WAS GOING TO END UP LESS THAN A MILE AWAY LATER THAT YEAR!? AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING BY MURPHY PARK FOR MANY YEARS KNOWING I WAS GOING TO VISIT; BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FOR THE SUNNYVALE HISTORICAL MUSEUM RELOCATED TO THE SUNNYVALE HERITAGE ORCHARD

<><><><><><><><><>

MOST OF THE RAINBOW PHOTOS SEEN BELOW ARE FROM THE SUNNYVALE MAYOR'S FACEBOOK PAGE ORIGINATING FROM VARIOUS UNKNOWN PHOTOGRAPHERS

Right before Christmas 2023 my friend with the nickname 'Doc' had a major stroke; and after the ambulance left his house the most amazing and awe inspiring rainbow I have ever seen suddenly appeared in the sky above me over the land Doc's father once oversaw as a Sunnyvale farmer.

A major portion of old Sunnyvale farmland from Maude Avenue to Highway 101 was once a farm owned by Doc's family; but once greedy family members got involved in the distribution of the trust assets; Doc's father ended up with a small house and a new car.

DOC'S FAMILY ONCE OWNED LAND BETWEEN MAUDE AVENUE AND HIGHWAY 101; MAKING DOC'S DAD SORT OF LIKE A GOOGLE CEO BACK IN THE OLD DAYS OF SUNNYVALE

OLD HOUSE ON MAUDE AVENUE

Then when my vehicle was stolen by other thieves last summer with many of my belongings inside; Doc just happened to be at Safeway that day and offered to help me. I stayed at the aforementioned house for a few months until insurance money and hard work recouped a portion of losses. Doc was part of the house band at the Quarter Note in Sunnyvale; and I had been jamming there on the drums with various combinations of musicians for many months before the theft of my vehicle. Doc was not making it to the jams repeatedly getting sick; so I had been bringing food for him and his cats for many months before he helped me.

(Doc has been playing guitar in Sunnyvale for many years; initially making up to $200 per gig in high school; then ultimately ending up at one point as second guitar player for the Pat Traver's band where he not only played with a band I literally worshipped in high school; But he also played with renowned drummer extraordinaire Aynsley Dunbar in Pat's band while he is one of my biggest drummer heroes other than John Bonham. Doc also passed a story on to me about Aynsley Dunbar where Aynsley was once almost offered the gig in the Jimi Hendrix Experience!?! But lost the gig on a coin toss by Jimi; Doc is a good and beloved soul to all who know him)

Remember the lesson: Do good ~ and good will eventually come back to you...

💕💖BUBBA CAT💖💕

Long story short; I ended up in the Historic Sunnyvale Lowlands taking care of Doc's house and roughly 11 trapped and released feral cats which I am currently still assisting. And I have heard about the supposed "rainbow bridge" for a long time now; where one supposedly sees deceased family members and pets (it's usually a pet reference) during afterlife experiences. Doc told me during his major stroke he saw all of his deceased family members and even his pets and also guitarist Ronnie Montrose who interjected "you have work to do". You obviously are free to believe or disbelieve his intriguing account; including spiritually devoid court-appointed psychologists; but I personally believe it is based in a deeper truth.

This literal overarching natural event made me believe in 'something' all over again...I'm not sure exactly what though...The true nature of the GOD concept will always remain a mystery; but one thing I do know for sure is that in ancient numerology the words Nature and God were numerological equivalents...And that a captured UFO alien once told federal investigators: much like human nature: "Nature is objective reality..."

(A Japanese friend of mine dreamed of a particular house his whole life then when he was in Japan he drove by the house and went up to the door and knocked on it and the owner said a family had committed suicide and/or Hari Kari in this house; so you are likely just tripping around in your dreams with your astral body visiting places from your past -- let scientists explain that...I also spoke to someone who was pronounced clinically dead twice and he said the light he saw was the Sun without a doubt both times...

Therefore apparently sometimes dreams are perhaps abstract creations of the mind usually helping you sort out what you are about to do; because you know what you are about to do tomorrow even before you know that you know; and that's what deja vu is all about; but other than that it appears sometimes in your dreams you are out flying around in your astral body;

I know one time I was dreaming about flying around above my house and then I started nose diving right into the roof over my bed and right around when I hit the roof I woke up suddenly; and in the dream it was cloudy so I looked outside and sure enough it was cloudy therefore without a doubt in my mind: when you dream you trip around...

After losing my deeply religious Catholic Mom at age ten; I became very interested in knowing what happens after we allegedly leave this planet. Then after talking to a large number of people who had been pronounced clinically dead and revived; I came to the inevitable conclusion that it does not end at the point of supposed "death". And I have lately theorized the alleged "rainbow bridge" concept is perhaps based in scientific reality as well: Not only does physics explain the emanation of energy from mass; but also at every moment that a person is passing to the other side; a rainbow is forming somewhere on the Earth. Therefore; there is always an available conduit for energetic processing and transformation encompassing the entire light spectrum to process this energetic emanation...

See also Metaphysics: "The branch of philosophy that examines the basic structure of reality. It is often characterized as first philosophy, implying that it is more fundamental than other forms of philosophical inquiry. Metaphysics is traditionally seen as the study of mind-independent features of the world, but some modern theorists understand it as an inquiry into the conceptual schemes that underlie human thought and experience..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics

Doc remains hospitalized and has a long recovery ahead of him; let's sincerely hope he fully recovers and returns home soon so he can live his later years in peace and tranquility...

THE MURPHY FAMILY HOME

SUNNYVALE "TOYS 'R US" has appeared on numerous television shows chronicling the paranormal, such as Ripley's Believe It Or Not?, That's Incredible!, Sightings, and various other television specials.

Numerous paranormal investigators have visited the store, interviewing witnesses, employees, taking all kinds of scientific data, and even witnessing the phenomenon themselves. There is only one sure way to find out for yourself if this phenomenon does exist: When in Sunnyvale, be sure to drop by Toys 'R Us.

Employees have complained of stacking shelves neatly, only to return to the locked store in the morning to find the toys scattered across the floor. Box-sealed dolls crying "Momma" over and over, even though they could not be activated through their sealed box. Boxes of toys flying off of shelves and hitting employees, an undeniable coldness, and strange voices.

Ragdolls and toy trucks leap off shelves. Balls bounce down the aisles. Children’s books fall out of racks. Baby swings move on their own. The folks at Toys ‘R’ Us say they’ve tried to explain it logically but can’t. Many people have experiences, not just one or two of us. He’s like Casper. Nothing he does ever hurt anybody.

Sylvia Brown, a renowned psychic and paranormal investigator, was called into the Toys R Us and granted permission to perform a seance, to summon the spirit within the store. It was quite successful, as an infrared photograph was taken during the seance, showing the poltergeist, although no one could see him physically during the actual performance. Most of the paranormal activity is said to take place on the last aisle to the left of the store.

As the story goes, back at the turn of the century when Sunnyvale, CA was a small farming community, there lived a young man named Johhny Johnson. You see, out where the Sunnyvale Toys 'R Us sits right now used to be an apple orchard. One hot summer day, Johnny Johnson was chopping wood at the Murphy Ranch House, when he swung his axe, missed the wood block, and brought it straight down into his leg. Determined to finish cutting the wood, believing his wound was not life-threatening, he tied the wound off and bled to death.

He had a love interest during the time before his expiration, a young woman named Elizabeth Yuba Murphy Tafee. It is now said he roams the grounds where he died, not knowing he his dead. And the grounds where he died are the exact location of Sunnyvale's very own Toys 'R Us. (Now REI).
