About Thomas Ropp

Long time journalist Thomas Ropp’s encounters with non-ordinary reality began at the age of two and continue to this day. Over the years, his path has crossed with rain forest shamans, Navajo medicine men, a Yaqui curandero, Israeli psychic Uri Geller, ufologist J. Allen Hynek, remote viewers, novelist and possible alien abductee Whitley Strieber, science fiction writer Alan Dean Foster, literary sorcerer Carlos Castaneda and his ex-wife Margaret Castaneda and one of Castaneda’s “witches” Kylie Lundahl. And he met all these people without trying … For three years Thomas wrote an interactive column for the Arizona Republic newspaper called Offramp that primarily focused on reader synchronicities. The longer he wrote this column the more synchronicities he experienced. But it didn’t stop there. Thomas has a long list of personal experiences with the non-ordinary including a possible alien abduction in 2011 in the rain forest near Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. This was precipitated by the constant barrage of the numbers 1, 11 and 111 – what has become known as the 11:11 Synchronicity that was widely reported globally around this time. After spending most of his life in Arizona’s lower deserts, Thomas moved to Costa Rica in 2007 to help with reforestation efforts and restoring the natural habitat of the tiny endangered mono titi monkey. Thomas lives with his wife and son in the rugged mountains of Costa Rica.

Everybody’s talking and no one says a word
Everybody’s making love and no one really cares
There’s Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There’s always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They’re starving back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed — strange days indeed

Everybody’s flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody’s crying and no one makes a sound
There’s a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Everybody’s smoking and no one’s getting high
Everybody’s flying and never touch the sky
There’s a UFO over New York and I ain’t too surprised

Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed — most peculiar, mama
