The real Doctor Who - Time traveller spotted in Sassafras

Written by Martin Dolan

Is this the real Doctor Who? - Time traveller spotted in Sassafras

There is none more fitting place to meet a time traveller than in the picturesque township Sassafras.

Sassafras itself has stepped back in time with quaint cottages and cafes dotted along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Rd in Victoria, Australia.

At a cafe called Ripe, in front of an open fire, the adventure begins...

Who is the curious character, and what is that mysterious device he has taken from his coat pocket and placed on the table...

...for the trained eye, it suspiciously looks like a sonic screwdriver

... And those familiar with the long running TV series Doctor Who will also spot a resemblance of its owner with that of Peter Davison, who played the fifth Doctor from 1981 - 1984.

Will the real Peter Davison please stand up?

We had a very interesting conversation about conspiracy theories, aliens, UFO's and the like. He had an incredible memory and was able to list books titles and authors on various topics with the blink of an eye. Obviously well red and well travelled.

While not actually admitting he was a time traveller, he did have the mannerisms of The Doctor, and a very impressive coat - who knows what other interesting gadgets he had in those pockets.

I probably should have asked him for some advice on getting my own time machine working, but I have a sneaking suspicion I will be bumping into him again.

Oh and the name of this suspected time traveller - Peter Davison... and he even showed me his ID to prove it... however it could have been a piece of psychic paper to confuse me.

A Time traveller? What do you think?

Thank you for coming past the bookshop this evening. Your donation to the Leukaemia foundation was very thoughtful. Thank you for the wonderful insight into a book I have been glancing at for a while, wondering what it was all about. Very intelligent and full of great wisdom.

My young offsiders and I had an intriguing discussion with The Good Doctor just this past weekend at The Deli Platter in Mt Dandenong. Or was it the weekend before? It's hard to tell...

Yes....the time traveller comes here for coffee daily. I do believe that his favourite drink is a latte or on other occasions a naturally calm tea. Maybe he needs to remain calm because of all his time travelling!! Pop into our cafe from 8am everyday to see the time traveller in his element. His conversation is recommended by all.

I have seen into the future... Time can be unwritten... Time can be rewritten... It's a big universe.. sofa's can talk... What if our ideas could exist without us... I tried posting this link already and managed to edit it out of existance before I got a chance (bloody time vortex), so here goes attempt number two and believe me I'm on borrowed time as my girlfriend is going to wake up soon and I should have been in bed three hours ago. I've stolen the first few words because it can't be expressed any better... The doctor's universe is beautiful... Anything and everything can, should, and must happen. Somewhere in time or space or a parallel universe a perfect incarnation of ourselves exists... So why not make it this one... We have all talked to the doctor, we should rejoice. We all know we should live everyday for everything it is. We are limited only by our imaginations... We are constrained only by ourselves... We all live forever through our faith in ourselves, and the memories of those we touch. Live every day like nothing can limit you. Strive to leave a lasting memory with those you love... And you will live forever not through a higher power, not god, not the doctor, but
yourself...

Enjoy your journey through time... We are all timelords!

By the way Jenny - the doctor's daughter is coming back... Throwaway line at the end. This may sound completely messed up but I believe
we're going to find out that the doctor is going to be his own parent(s)... And his own child... Or I could be completely losing it... Spoilers...

I think this is the same man in the Charlie Chaplain video. Youtube Charlie Chaplain Time Traveller. I too met him in a cafe in Kallista, he showed me a very powerful mantra and radiated the most amazing energy.

"The reconnective healing frequencies " can be tuned into now
as part of the new era of evolution of our consciousness.
We are opening to our higher self and the greater possibilities
available to us.

Do not expect Masters as Christ, Maitreya, Buddha and Others to
help us with our short comings.

We can help ourselves.

"reconnective Healing Frequencies" offer opportunity to heal ourselves
and create a new era on earth.

Let us use this opportunity for momentum and bring harmony.

I was speaking with Doctor Who and we were discussing UFOs, psychos, poltegeists and unhealthy emotional ties. While being served chais by the lovely Tanya Mason at Green Bean Cafe, we talked about mayan calender 2012 shift in conscience which is tied in with revelation. "Reconnective healing frequencies" can help you.
These are used in "Reconnective Healing" which are becoming more powerful. Focus on these now and protect yourself

We love our visits from Ian at our shop in Sassafras. He is a very knowledgeable & intriguing man. We look forward to the next visit!

while sitting and having a chai, served by the lovely Tanya at the Green Bean Cafe in Belgrave, Peter and myself tuned into the prophesised mayan 2012 "reconnective healing frequencies". These frerquencies coincide with an increase of UFO activity classified as "above top secret". These UFOs are subject to the "reconnective healing frequencies". Tap these for "reconnective healing".

The "Beast" invaded my thoughts and emotions this morning. He saw a doorway of opportunity when I was off guard. "Reconnective Healing Frequencies" will enable us to identify the "Beast" for what is is and not let the "beast" invade your garden

I was talking with Peter Davison, who thinks one should tune into these
"reconnective healing frequencies" . They are very powerful and one can tune into them.

While experimenting one found what appears to be "reconnective healing frequencies" beaming in from space towards us, the frequencies are so
powerful one can tune into them. Eric Pearl spoke of these frequencies.

These frequencies can be used for healing.You can tune into them !

I have known this striking young fellow for a long time, have had many a cup of tea and cake in different cafe's, spoken on a large variety topics all of which the the Doctor ( Ian Peter Davison) was very well versed, I was enlightened in several subjects also and always look forward to running into him from time to time, all though not always in the same place. maybe next time it will be Mars! or maybe Venus! or just around the corner in Cardinia Lake Park watching the UFO's land or pass over the top. In any case I believe that Ian Peter Davison and his family will be friends for a very long time, no matter where he is

I'm glad to report that after a few weeks without the doctor enjoying his usual tea or latte, he has now returned to Kallista Tearooms. I imagined he'd been travelling to a place far away but I'm uplifted by calm presence. Hope to see him again soon.

Ian Peter Davison is sitting with me right now - & if you focus strong enough across the eons of time & space then perhaps he would be at YOUR side in a flash.
Hey Martin, how about contacting us at Magpie House Upwey as a forum for this & other experiments & artworks. Cheers, George

I know this time traveller, bumped into him from time to time.

While I haven't seen him outside my own era, I know from talking to him that he's seen more than most men...

Under the pyramid in the house in which I live, the doctor and I experimented with altered states of consciousness and altered perception of time.
