Kathleen Watts, also known as Thought Continuum, was born in Cambridgeshire, England. In 1976, Watts found herself in Riverdale having what we call “an extraterrestrial experience” at 18 years old. The experience, in which she met not one but two distinctly different groups of otherworldly beings, obviously impacted her life forever.

Watts found herself with a mind opened in a world of closed mindedness. This led her to study astrology, science and, specifically, the collective mind; she has spent decades of her life exploring the possibilities and probabilities of myth. As a self-proclaimed myth-teller, Watts has written three works.

According to Watts, the first book, “Catch Me If You Can… A Story of Alien Abduction and Culprit Plunder,” is a personal narrative of the close encounter she had with extraterrestrials in Riverdale. “It is the story of a double abduction experience where I first find myself upon a ship with a group of ETs I refer to as the Weavers, and then subsequently abducted from the Weavers by a distinctly different ET I call Aesop,” she said.

“Telepathic interrogations, a contest of wills, unexpected epiphanies and occidental bounty follow in the wake of this true-to-life enigma.”

Watts is passionate about the concept of a collective imagination, or what she calls a metaphoric/conceptual field, in addition to the collective mind or metamorphic/contextual field.

“This is big news for some of us,” Watts said. “Indigenous cultures have been aware of this conceptual field for millennia and simply refer to it as the dream of the world. My nickname for this field is ‘the land of myth and naught.'”

“Catch Me If You Can,” Watts said, “is a fascinating story with compelling characters; however, it is not the point.” The second book, “Payback Is a Glitch,” explores in more detail her understanding and perceptions of what occurred that night.

The book is “my translation of who these extraterrestrials are and how they are connected to these two aforementioned fields. (Also,) what plunder I pirated from the ship (and, finally,) how the conceptual field/collective imagination works, the untapped potential of this field and what, exactly, is at stake.”

In “Payback Is a Glitch,” Watts also talks about the Beslan School Massacre in 2004 and about conceptual poverty. “I talk about the problem … which brings me closer to the point,” she said.

And what is the point? To Watts, it is her latest project. According to her website: “It has captured her imagination as she explores the (groundbreaking) and sometimes blasphemous idea of mind/time/metamorphic fields and imagination/space/metaphoric fields and how our cultural stories are animated and brought to life and who, exactly, is doing the animating.”

But, says Watts, “complexity is not the answer,” citing that 25% of the world population is illiterate, which equates to almost 2 billion people. “Story is.”

The last component of Watts’s three-tiered project is the upcoming short film “MaMa ReLoaded: An Idea That Works” by Global Myth Productions. The film itself is a movie trailer — a teaser, a window into “the land of myth and naught.”

“It is a beautifully crafted rumor of two rogue myth writers (Thought & Tupac) entwined by life and death in the creation and animation of a new global myth,” reads the book description, “an epic journey of comeuppance forged in the preemptive wake of 2012, the end of days and the mysterious advent of the Carl Sagan anomaly.”

It is, in Watts’ words, a “big fat, juicy rumor” based on true events, which is “simply fodder for any imagination, let alone a collective imagination!”

“MaMa ReLoaded: An Idea That Works” is poised for the reemergence of the divine feminine in our world mythology (with the collective mind’s permission), Watts says, emphasizing that “rumors work — a well-placed, well thought out, intelligent, compassionate rumor would work wonders for our world, for our children and for our grandchildren.”

“And that, my friend, is the point.”

Watts will be available for book signings at Open Studio Night on Jan. 7 from 6-9 p.m. at The Monarch. For more information about Thought Continuum, visit thoughtcontinuum.com.
