UFO PARADIGM PROBE

Death, Denial and The Paranormality of Life.

"Oliver entered the shop and asked a big bearded man with a wooden mallet for a job. He became the stone cutter's apprentice. He worked in that dusty yard five years. He became a stone cutter. When his apprenticeship was over he had become a man.
He never found it. He never learned to carve an angel's head. The dove, the lamb, the smooth joined marble hands of death, and letters fair and fine—but not the angel. And of all the years of waste and loss—the riotous years in Baltimore, of work and savage drunkenness, and the theatre of Booth and Salvini, which had a disastrous effect upon the stone cutter, who memorized each accent of the noble rant, and strode muttering through the streets, with rapid gestures of the enormous talking hands—these areblind steps and gropings of our exile, the painting of our hunger as, remembering speechlessly, we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, a door. Where? When?
-Thomas Wolfe in Look Homeward Angel

Today I bring you no news, no obscure metaphysical reference nor obtuse theory or tract that you can collect in your back pocket as we pass upon this proverbial street.

It's Sunday, wet, foggy and in perpetual twilight as I write this to you
on such a fitting day.

"All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?'
-Chuang Tzu

As a young boy who saw the world through an autistic prism, the existential set piece of a funeral, that was acted out so many years ago, by the various familiar and mysterious characters who, in the hindsight of memory, inhabited a vivid dream, imprinted by example, a secret whispered between the lines of their dialog.

As if I could penetrate the ghosts who inhabited the sundry masks of the jocular business man, the elderly aunt who sat primly in the corner,quietly unacknowledged as well as the overly obsessive chattering exchanges that filled an oceanic void,and that mask of my father, stolid and enigmatic.
I witnessed by that experience, an adult world of pantomime, a world I still inhabit.

Death was the host of that occasion and all the involuntary invitees labored with civility and courage to ignore that fact.

In some sense, I stand aside that young boy that was me, as an adult whose mainspring of time is now measured more by a receding view in the mirror of myself than in what lies before me as I approach being the center of another such occasion, my own death.

Our common role, now worn so routinely as if to become invisible to ourselves in this play, is one of perplexity masked by the familiar, as if the recognisable were a talisman to ward off the spectre of the para normality of existence itself.

One gift that autism provided was the ability to observe others, who had not even the remotest concept of who or what they were, but played their part to perfection.

Perhaps the pathological skeptic is an extreme example of this.

You, by the fact that I am speaking to you in the words you are reading in your own voice, anonymously entered into this domain, for what purpose?

We peer under every rock, we crawl through every bush, we analyse, compare and conceptualise the paranormal as an elusive rune of meaning that perhaps in some vain hope, this too shall apply to us.

Why, you ask? There is no other species of sentient companion that may share with us by extension, a defining clarity of what we are.

We have looked everywhere else.

At one time, Loren Eisley was our Poet Laureate, the unseen observer who, upon observing a row of pumpkins flickering on a Halloween night, and remarked on the resemblance both to himself and to all of us.

In an off line dialog I was asked by a certain, well known researcher, a question regarding the potentialities of extraterrestrial communication. I answered his question with my own. What would you ask them?

His wonderful and sincere response was he had not thought of this.

The process can mask to obscure the point of the exercise to the degree we may forget why we began at the point of origination.

For me, as a young boy, a funeral was the unintended invitation to walk behind the dark scrim, behind the litter of props and the false fronts of stage sets.

There must be something there. Perhaps it was the future. A future me who would be the one who knew. and could somehow return and tell the younger version who I was.

That was the way it was. I stood in the snow and watched as the bronze coffin that carried my beloved grandfather sank below the ground.

As someone once told me, I write this for you so that you will not forget.

Part 2: The Notes From The Chinvat Bridge

Dedicated To Ahura Mazda

"What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment."
-George Kelly

Occam's Razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. If this principle is correct and we apply it to the apparent enigma and central question of ufology, which is the lack of interest in establishing interspecies contact, we may have an answer. Perhaps we do not recognize that it is we who are the omniscient dinosaurs of our own epoch in which we reign supreme. Despite our self professed ownership of all that we see, to another more advanced species we are but a small part of an ongoing process, and that for them this is an opportunity to witness a extinction one of many such extinctions that have occurred over millions of years on this planet that they have observed and studied and will continue to do so. This exponential growth in interest began in earnest when we brought to the surface of this planet the very process which provides life in order to transform this organic life, a product of our Sun, into into the dead, inert matter of dust. Or at least in my extra dimensional dreams, this much has been said.

A triumph of technology and of the perversity of humankind. They are witnessing a process that began epochs before our arrival and will continue long after we have passed into a sedimentary layer, one of countless such layers that impart the history of Earth. They are observing yet another temporal epoch, yet another extinction. They will continue to observe when we in our vain glory have become fossilized remnants for another species to theorize upon and our cities have been worn by the elements into sand. But let us return to both the present and the near future.

We begin not in the abstractions of physics or mythology or information theory. We begin squarely on Terra Firma. I have sharpened my razor to take a good look at our own species past and current behavior in relation to the possibility of contact with another species. I have volunteered for this odious task in explaining the other parties issues with establishing interspecies contact. For some of you, I am literally, The Devils Advocate.

Creating demons out of the "stranger" the "other" in the pack is a defensive knee jerk reaction born from our animal instincts toward territoriality. One of the most amusing outgrowths concerning the possibility of contact with another species is the inordinate amount of free floating anxiety attached to an exponentially expanding growth of the threats we project upon what an encounter would provide. Where once we banged on sticks now our technological advances has allowed to do so with a much expanded range on the internet. As T.S Elliott described a situation wherein "the center will not hold" as governmental and cultural institutions increasingly exhibit an inability to manage the dissolution of order, the theories and rumors of extraterrestrials will increase exponentially in their abstractions. The future is not promising as it is viewed in extra dimensional dreams. There is the burning of the rubble from collapsed homes that provide solace at night for newly formed communities of refugees. The barter economy based upon the salvaging of canned foodstuffs by tradesmen called 'Canners" in popular parlance returns. Corporate flags fly over voluntary work camps whose meandering throngs make the scene look much like those encampments of The Great Depression. All of this ends "with a whimper, not a bang."
They live in the upper floors of mid rise buildings to which they moor their fishing boats. Some are adorned with what could be called tribal rings along their arms and backs with tattoos which illustrate their rank by deeds in the community. Is this a portent or a potential?

In these dreams, in this specific context, our elusive observers have stated they cannot save us from ourselves.

Let us now return to the stream of largely inane chatter regarding our observers. We need only consider the capability that we ourselves have in monitoring communications channels a hundred fold to consider that they are more than capable of discerning this bizarre behavior in advance of any empirical proof that any harm has been done. For those who think for some reason that it has occurred..well, what if you are wrong? From soul catching to slavery to cloning to what have you, consider that as I suspect, this is not the case, then we have certainly made it clear we are more than a little unstable in both maturity and outlook. They view this as the psychology of anxiety projected upon an unspoken awareness that we do not understand ourselves as well as the fact, we are in the early throes of a semi-hysterical state

Then there are the surrealistic chases by our military aircraft who are not only incapable of a successful targeting of aggression, but who exhibit a provocative responsive stance without any provocation. Unless you consider the act of appearance a provocation. We have told them, yes we do. Fortunately, more mature behavior was exhibited by our supposed "intruders." Yes the territorial imperative is alive and well.

Another amusing psychological observation they have potentially made is our governmental secrecy toward publicly recognizing in any fashion that they exist.

One of our species traits is the overwhelming and uncontrollable application of technological advances far ahead of any capability to determine their value in moral and ethical terms, as well as what the consequences of their use may foreshadow.
An intelligent extraterrestrial could easily provide us with a far advanced technology knowing full well that in our hands we would be more than willing to utilize it without giving this much thought. This of course being due to our aforementioned addictive behaviors toward uncontrollable ownership by possession.They would need only step aside and observe us as we hasten the demise already underway of organic life on our planet, which only receives faint lip service anyway.

This pathological dithering about concerning the exponentially expanding extinction of our environment provides more than enough evidence for abnormal behavior.
Consider this as well, the actual reason for a great deal of this well what a surprise, is an unwillingness to throttle back on another already existing technology......energy.

On the other hand one must more seriously consider that if they, the extraterrestrials do exist, they would have some very serious misgivings regarding our responsible use of any such technology. Anything we are given that has any remote possibility of being converted into weaponry would be quickly undertaken.

A more apt and chilling example of our normality is what was done upon the discovery that we may be sharing the planet with another sentient species, the dolphin.
Outside of eating them, there was the development of plans to teach these innocents how to carry warheads to an "enemy."

Such endeavors hand us a gifting of technology would be akin and as useful as training a monkey to ride a bicycle. Perhaps the most apt example of our species misuse of an advanced technology was the introduction of the television. While having a vast potential to educate and communicate among our species on this planet, we have used it to desensitize ourselves toward our own addiction to have it occupy a position far in excess of any value we receive from it.
Somewhere in the vast interstellar regions of space, gossip over the latest travails of addiction by "stars", certainly passes as more vertebrate lunacy from a planet known for it.

Then of course, there has and is a ongoing war of either local or global proportions since recorded history began. If that were disquieting to a visitor, then imagine what they must observe when they witness the sacred institutionalizing of our species genocide toward itself, with little flags, countries like real estate companies and squabbling over what are supposed to be shared resources, that in reality, nobody owns except in the misfiring neurons of our normality. There are those who have no shelter, there are those who have nothing to eat, there are those of our species that have no medical care and are dying as I type this for want of an inexpensive inoculation while concurrently, we spend billions of dollars on our species inter tribal warfare.

Instead of our forces being united in seeing others as they see themselves, we squander minutes than have turned over into centuries throwing rocks and banging on sticks.

Before we begin judging an intent we know absolutely nothing about, we should all take a deep breath and look at our own intents as evidenced by our behaviors and then ask ourselves if we ourselves put the shoe on the other foot, and put ourselves in their place honestly, without deceiving ourselves, the answer is clear.
They are not the issue here in terms of the possibility of interspecies contact.
We are.

Perhaps its time we stop throwing our abstracted rationales toward others lest we be judged ourselves. Perhaps all of us and myself included, find it safer to travel down a road of mystification rather than explore what is in front of our eyes, especially since what we see is more than enough justification for another species to keep us at arm's length.

Our species is both a dangerous and voracious predator who now kills members of it's own species not for food but as an imprinted ritual of honor with a gift for doing so
by advancing the technological edge of this pathology at every opportunity. We can turn on "on a dime." We have no consistent behavior toward others nor for the most part any cognition of what we truly are. There is no hiding this from another species more advanced than our own. This is not complex. It is very simple to observe.

We can only assist ourselves in this crisis. It is ridiculous to assume that another species that is akin to Superman or Mighty Mouse and will save us from ourselves, which would be absolutely contrary to natural law and an impossibility. This is not the purpose of contact.

The case for contact is largely one of wishful thinking, that circulates as if this swirling whirlpool, our crying need to rise above our origins, were a case of self justification for our acts, or lack of them. However that does not preclude contact as our own self justifications have no extension onto another's concern.

It would be as if we ourselves would attempt to communicate and lead a tribe of indigenous simians.

So our little group returns as each slowly struggles back, one by one, back to The Chinvat Bridge. We were unprepared for what we saw, and more importantly, we now say little to each other. Someone in a resigned tone of voice says "If anyone is interested...they are passing over us now..."
No one bothers in their contemplations to look up. The answer was the simplest explanation, however it was the one we were least capable of viewing. We repack our belongings in the anticipation of returning to our families, but most of them we leave behind as they will serve no useful purpose now. These notes I leave for you, to do with whatever you will chose to do with them. Our observers are neither angels nor devils as I have discharged my obligation as permission lent itself to reveal. As for myself and my companions of another stripe, We wish you well.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it....

-"If" by Rudyard Kipling.

Part One: The Notes From The Chinvat Bridge.

2008-01-14T09:50:00.001-08:00

On the fourth day, we have made our way to The Chinvat Bridge (the Bridge of the Separator, also call Al-Sirat), accompanied by gods of protection. The bridge is "finer than a hair and sharper than a sword" and spans a deep chasm teeming with monsters. On the other side of the bridge is the gateway to paradise.

Perhaps we can say that we, the adherents of the UFO phenomenon have reached such a bridge in our estimations, as the clock exponentially increases it's path toward a demarcation between the perception of monsters chained by desire and the angels of paradise. Perhaps this may be intentional, this positioning on the bridge.

Perhaps this intention is one not entirely of our own design.

We tell ourselves at it's foot, that we have reached our latest challenge solely by our own efforts as if we ourselves were the center of all the phenomenon we have observed so far.

A species defines itself in the many facets of behavior that it exhibits to an observer. We have defined ourselves as a sentient species by a process of comparison with other species. However, we are at a disadvantage in this as we can locate no other species, who appear to exhibit sentient cognition on a par with our own.

We, as a species also make an effort to study ourselves and our behavior.
This is the only means that we have at our disposal to define a consensus as to what constitutes normal behavior. We have no basis of comparison to view ourselves as a species from another species point of observation, let alone one which may be advanced in evolutionary terms beyond that of our own.

This unique state of affairs leads to both conjecture and conceptual modeling based on our own narrow view of what constitutes normal behavior, as we define, based soley on the subjective basis of our own sociological and psychological "insights" as to what a more advanced state and station of another sentient species may constitute.
How likely is it that an advanced species would murder one another,or conduct this as an institutionalized and cultural practice over a span of centuries?

If we move away from our speculations upon this recognition, we have another to consider. Plato in (Book VII of The Republic, discusses Socrates observation of another fallibility in our cognition toward another species as Socrates discusses justice with Glaucon, one of Plato’s brothers.

Here we have a situation that compounds the situation of judging another's species behavior to that of our own.This facet of our equation explores the fallibility of cognition of one's state and position in relation to location as it impacts the sum potential of our speculations upon cartography of our critical assumptions.

"Let’s compare our own education and understanding of the world to people in a cave—to human beings in an underground, cave-like dwelling with a long and wide entrance open toward the light. From childhood on, the people who live in this cave have their legs and necks chained so that they can see only straight ahead in front of them. The chains keep them from turning their heads in any other direction.'

John Klein:I think we can assume that these entities are more advanced than us. Why don't they just come right out and tell us what's on their minds?
Alexander Leek: You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them?

So we pause and prepare ourselves before moving forward. We look around us and see the various members of our little group. Some of us have lost our humility along the way as we approached this yawing chasm. We expect answers from others in that we cannot provide for ourselves. Perhaps our answer is an image reflected back to us which we have provided as a rationale without questioning it's source. However some of us see the source as an existential illusion manufactured by necessity. Others,would prefer that it cannot exist because they have chosen that the decision to observe would strip away the clothing that protects their ignorance of an answer. Others have created a self comforting mythology to preserve the sanctity of the intellect. Some provide answers in lieu of questions. Some look to the town constable who wears the costume of protection and justice to explain his assumed knowledge as it is his role to know. However he informs you by his silence that he knows its secret when, in fact he is hiding that he does not know. If you knew he did not know, he believes his job which you finance may be on the line. He has little to fear, as he unwittingly has joined our expeditionary band toward a an immeasurable precipice, unmapped and fraught with the anxiety of a recognition, that all of us are unprepared.

Certainly we all recognize, if anything, that this situation of our little group is a very interesting one from an existential perspective. Perhaps as we assume that we ourselves are an object of interest rather than the larger picture of context, which we cannot grasp by our isolated stance upon an proverbial island, all of our speculations are a moot point. If they were not, then preparations would certainly be well underway for contact. We would be aware and follow a course free of the myriad of cross purposes our that chatter demonstrates. We act upon the stage of our own species isolation as if it were perfectly logical, perfectly insightful like out two freinds who await the arrival of Godot.

In Part Two, now that we have set the staging in proper arrangement at our encampment at the footings of The Chinvat Bridge, we will compare notes on conceptual models of behavior in an advanced species by looking at some potential examples, rare and as obscure as they are, among ourselves. We will also look at something we all would prefer not to admit,at the peril of our own existance, our natural predisposition of addiction.

At dusk, our leader at the rear of our little group faintly calls through the thickening fog for us to move forward onto the bridge as the weather begins a turn for the worse. We must have everything we need now. We frantically rummage through the intangibles we have gathered in preparation for this final summit for which we have gathered to surmount. There is no turning back fron The Chinvat Bridge.

National Security and The Targeting of Thought

2008-01-12T06:55:00.000-08:00

"There is an Eastern tale that speaks about a very rich magician who had a great many sheep. But at the same time this magician was very mean. He did not want to hire shepherds, nor did he want to erect a fence about the pasture where the sheep were grazing. The sheep consequently often wandered into the forest, fell into ravines and so on, and above all, they ran away, for they knew that the magician wanted their flesh and their skins, and this they did not like.
At last the magician found a remedy. He hypnotized his sheep and suggested to them,first of all, that they were immortal and that no harm was being done to them when they were skinned; that on the contrary, it would be very good for them and even pleasant; secondly he suggested that the magician was a good master who loved his flock so much that he was ready to do anything in the world for them; and in the third place, he suggested that if anything at all were going to happen to them, it was not going to happen just then, at any rate not that day, and therefore they had no need to think about it. Further, the magician suggested to his sheep that they were not sheep at all; to some of them he suggested that they were lions, to some that they were eagles, to some that they were men, to others that they were magicians. After this all his cares and worries about the sheep came to an end. They never ran away again, but quietly awaited the time when the magician would require their flesh and skins."
-GI Gurdjieff

The UFO Phenomenon As A National Security Threat

For those of you who are regular readers of this site, you have come to know that the locus of my efforts are not placed in the arena of politics. This is an exception as well as a story about domestic intelligence and the enigmatic and covert monitoring of this website, which on the face of it, would not appear to present any present or future danger to you. Does it pose a potential danger to The State? Apparently it does, to The State Department,The Department of Justice and to Naval Intelligence.
Why? you ask. I don't know but apparently they know something I do not and they are not about to tell me. I suspect, of course it must be my subject matter. Scroll down the home page and pick a topic. Perhaps Mr George Orwell had an insight into this situation wherein "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.' Then again, this is not so.
There is no revolution afoot.
We are entranced toward the trivial, the entertainments and the necessities of wages. As Ray Bradbury observed "There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them." Our ambivalence toward the welfare of our own liberty is based upon a greater desire and concern for personal gadgetry.
Below the surface of the familiar and the self comforting lies that we whisper to ourselves, slowly seeping as an underground stream into the under pinnings of our lives, an presence alien to us watches silently, observing us in stealth, marking the observations of our behavior well, targeting our interests, our dialogs, who comes and who goes and most importantly, our thoughts.

Increased Domestic Role for Intelligence Foreseen
"Spy satellites and other classified intelligence technologies are poised to play a greater role in domestic homeland security and law enforcement missions, challenging long-standing legal and policy barriers against their domestic use.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that the Director of National Intelligence recently authorized access to intelligence satellite products by officials of the Department of Homeland Security to help support border security."
-Secrecy News from the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy

"Now, these same cynics decided that World War Three would be a war of information systems that had to do with the control of the belief systems of the masses by small groups of people, usually in a secret environment, with very sophisticated means of communications, computers, satellites and so on."
-Jacques Vallee

This imaginary scenario set forth by Mr Vallee has a faint ring of familiarity. Yes, as a matter of fact, as I recall it, this scenario had a tactical strategy embodied by a slogan as well as perhaps this slogan describes more accurately an increasingly common scenario of Mr Orwell's "doublethink".

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
-1984

A Shift Of Paradigm
It is a cliche that those who do not learn the lessons of history are fated to repeat them. Anyone who is an apt student of history recognizes that the coordination of the manipulation of patriotism, electronic media manipulation and the covert strategic targeting and domestic surveillance of civilian citizens was pioneered some sixty years ago. That concentrated bureaucratic management toward the interests and investments of the potent coordination of private industrial and governmental interests and aims held in common ultimately failed in a catastrophic collapse which proved to be a delusion that the pathology of control is an absolute. In this specific, pioneering effort to reinforce the interests of the state over that of it's citizens,only in hindsight is clear. Melding of the states and private economic interests with that of it's citizens requires a common real or perceived enemy, whether it is concrete or created is a matter of expediency. For many in Germany, the consequences of recognizing this matrix of powerful forces after the fact,, was both stunning, and an indictment of their suggestibility toward their own manipulated fears. Through the study of history, we see this as a fact, not an opinion that absolute power or the presumption of it, corrupts absolutely. In a series that focused on black box projects in experimental physics during the last months of The Third Reich and the subsequent covert recruitment of scientists and intelligence officers who were, in effect, war criminals, folded into fabric of our own government, I asked myself aloud on this site, I really wonder who won World War Two?
Yes, I intuit a transfer, a shift of paradigm beyond that of technology,upon a transference of possessions due to the admiration of efficiencies..yes an admiration not spoken in public..an acknowledgment that it was not us that won the war, it was they who lost it.

It was Thomas Jefferson who originally warned that banking interests were far more dangerous than a standing army. At the same time, also in hindsight, one considers the unknown circumstances and back ground that leads to an inexplicable yet profound testament of prophecy by a patriot whose credentials in this regard are unquestioned. His warning is both cryptic in it's portent and a warning against an as yet unrecognized threat. If you study the nuance displayed by studying the transcript of his speech, one gets an impression that while he was concerned enough to pronounce a warning, he was apparently over run by circumstance, as he did nothing that I am aware of to thwart it. Perhaps it is not an irony, but a astute recognition that this public warning came from the man largely responsible for the defeat of the Reich. He sensed the arrival of a new form of government for and by the combined profit of governmental and private interests. If this were so, the potential for profit is infinite. Democracy would become ceremonial. It was George Washington , the General of The Rebellion and our first President who set this country on the path to liberty and denied himself the role of King who warned us to; 'Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
-D Eisenhower

If this were so, then a position that was formerly ceremonial would be required for a point position addressing the needs of this unseen corporation,someone to carry the water, as it were, to operate this new governmental corporation.Do we have a candidate to insert into this theory that evidences this role? The behavior would have to evidence a melding of the governmental corporate financial profitability with the propagandistic flair toward instilling these goals in a public forum using Dr Goebbels brilliant but dark manipulation of patriotism. Also, as someone once advised "Follow the money." In all this, the representatives of the people must obey the dictates of their silence, referenced long ago by the clergyman Jonathan Mayhew, who forever changed history in a rousing sermon, when he denounced taxation without representation.

"This responsibility did not come to us by chance. We are in a unique position because of our unique assets, because of the character of our people, the strength of our ideals, the might of our military and the enormous economy that supports it. We cannot take these for granted, and President Bush does not. He has proposed, as you know, the largest increase in spending for national security in a generation. The skill and bravery of our troops and the power of their equipment to protect American and our friends and allies is at stake. The precision of our weapons can spare the lives of innocent civilians. Yet modern warfare is expensive. In Afghanistan, the effort has cost more than $30 million a day. We must also remember that the time frames involved run very long in the military. The forces we'll have to defend us 10 or 20 years hence must be planned and built today.' -Richard Cheney

File under: WAR IS PEACE.

How much profit is involved? File under: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. Thats a secret as well. in other words, praise the citizen soldier, use citizen's patriotism as a duty and then do not allow them to view the checkbook from whence their funds are withdrawn. Brilliant, in a sociopathic sense. There is no way, for example, to know who is doing most of the reconstruction work in Iraq, because it is being handled by subcontractors, who never work directly for the taxpayers. Rather, they report to companies like Halliburton and Bechtel, which have been awarded giant umbrella contracts, and are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.It was Samuel Adams who observed "He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections."

There is another cost to this. Tell that to a loved one, a mother, a sister, a brother who has lost someone. No photographs are allowed of the coffins as they arrive home, just as if there was no human cost....akin to a video game. All of this makes my stomach turn. Ask yourself one simple question, what drives all of this so successfully? Its the doublespeak that is most eloquent. Fear. We are protecting your freedom by removing your freedom

File this under:FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.

"Then the plotline in Iraq turned out to be not just phony, but also ridiculous. Not only were there no weapons of mass destruction, but the chemical warfare the generals and ex-generals nightly told us to expect also never materialized. Saddam Hussein not only had no offensive weapons, he didn’t have many defensive ones. That summer, when it turned out our troops had staged a lightning raid to “save” Private Jessica Lynch from an Iraqi “military hospital” that didn’t even have a Nurse Ratched in it, we broadcast the revised history as reported by a Canadian newspaper—the first TV news outlet in the country, I think, to do so. The right-wing water-carriers buffeted our management, and our management buffeted me."
-Keith Oberman from Truth and Consequences

Oh yes, did i mention that I use Comcast? Do you?

"Upon lawful request and for a thousand dollars, Comcast, one of the nation's leading telecommunications companies, will intercept its customers' communications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.The cost for performing any FISA surveillance "requiring deployment of an intercept device" is $1,000.00 for the "initial start-up fee (including the first month of intercept service)," according to a newly disclosed Comcast Handbook for Law Enforcement (pdf).' -From Secrecy News

"And need one ask whether, in such a society, the concepts of self-government, republicanism, or "rule of the people" can have any real meaning?"

Our Domestic Intelligence Crisis
By Richard A. Posner

"We've learned that the Defense Department is deeply involved in domestic intelligence (intelligence concerning threats to national security that unfold on U.S. soil). The department's National Security Agency has been conducting, outside the framework of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, electronic surveillance of U.S. citizens within the United States. Other Pentagon agencies, notably the one known as Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), have, as described in Walter Pincus's recent articles in The Post, been conducting domestic intelligence on a large scale. Although the CIFA's formal mission is to prevent attacks on military installations in the United States, the scale of its activities suggests a broader concern with domestic security. Other Pentagon agencies have gotten into the domestic intelligence act, such as the Information Dominance Center, which developed the Able Danger data-mining program."

From Forbidden Science To Forbidden Thought
I am writing to you as a fellow student of the paranormal, the anomalous, and the mysterious. This post also concerns an overlooked topic, the sanctity of our quest to explore, to ask questions to theorize and wonder in the face of increasing governmental intrusions into these facets of our thoughts both private and public.In this age of encrypted truth, we are the objects of unsolicited management. There is no longer a need for the MIB, no need to knock on a unsuspecting fellows door at 3am.
Due to the ongoing surveillance of these words that you are reading, by those who feel an obligation to not openly disclose, discuss or ask us personally as to our unalienable expression of thought as to assume upon themselves, a judgement that our intent is counter opposed to that of the State without a shred, an iota of evidence in a country founded upon reason, that this is so.
We are not alone in this. Follow these links and you will leave behind as I have, a fundamentally critical assumption concerning a sacred obligation by those whose wages we pay by taxation,to protect our liberty as individuals.
Here is a situation from a fellow blogger who detected a covert visitor that is very similar to that of my own. I have several.

From Hongpong.Com, a review of stats led to a surprise.
"So let us consider the IP numbers of the CIA's openly marked relays. This is information released publicly (over DNS) - so don't anyone accuse me of going Novak. The CIA obviously has computers whose IP numbers don't say friggin "CIA.gov" when you look them up. 198.81.129.194 and 198.81.129.193. On the 193 address they came on a google search for "goss punish cia analysts cold war 2004" back on Nov. 10, 2004, when surely Agency employees were pondering the blowback from the election. They ended up on the War on Terror index page."

BIG BROTHER: So Many Fans in Norfolk!
JEEZ, RIGHT AFTER my previous post went up about the discovery of mustard gas artillery shells in Spring Valley, my site meter started lighting up from the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. I had no idea I had so many fans in Norfolk that are still using Windows 2000! Thanks for the traffic! I hope my readers realize that this information already was printed in The Washington Post, which has a considerably larger readership base than The Washington Oculus. Nothing sinister here folks. Unless of course you're talking about Curbed's spy shots from within the Hearst Building in New York.

Or, another;
"Another interesting entry in the ridey.net webserver logs reveals that somebody at the US State Department (in particular, sherman.state.gov - isn't it quaint how they name their servers after old generals and presidents? we've also been visited by buchanan.state.gov) spent about two minutes perusing this weblog. They arrived via a Google search for "Bush's Bad Science", and I'm quite proud that we come third in the results, just behind the Washington Post, thanks to an item I had posted about an article in the Nation written by Robert F Kennedy Jr. The State Department visitor also read this item, which was about their boss."

"A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."
-Thomas Jefferson

Against the Grain of Indoctrination
As a young child, with my lunch sack tucked into my coat, every morning, my mother bid me farewell as I dutifully left for a school to be indoctrinated by the techniques of repetition, and the memorization of facts.
Every morning, we recited the pledge of allegiance, which imprinted the credo and intent of "with liberty and justice for all". Every month, we would take on a fetal position beneath our desks in a "drill" in the event of an atomic attack from those who, we were told, had as their stated goal, the destruction of liberty and justice.
The Soviet Union, we were told was the was an example of a state embodied as a theology which destroyed those who, as Jefferson said; "..will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."
In every progressive grade, in increasingly complex examples, we were "tested" on our memorization and indoctrination in a hundred fold examples of liberty, which when conjoined to thought, had created the circumstances that brought forth an Samuel Adams ,a Thomas Paine,or a Jefferson, who as leaders presented their fellows with a radical idea that individual liberty supersedes that of the state. In an era in which perpetual and permanent telephone intercepts, internet drilling and compendiums of unfavorables are kept on file, Mr Jefferson, should he reappear in this climate would be identified as an enemy of The State. That is more than a sobering consideration.

In this now vanished world of my youth and of grade school, some teachers, though rare in their departure from the texts, would provide an experience rather than an exercise. A introspective and disheveled Mr Koch had me read Edward Arlington Robinson's 'Miniver Cheevy" in front of my classmates. This one experience instilled within me, a life long love of poetry that continues. The ever manic and enthusiastic Mr Adelman had me arrange and argue the argument of states rights on behalf of the Confederacy in front of my classmates which reinforced my acknowledgment that democracy as it's founders brought forth from The Age of Enlightenment, is a government not dogmatic by theology, not by the force of a King, but by Reason.

"However, it also discloses two things that have never been disclosed before. First, they have found patterns in those sightings. They wanted to go on studying before any kind of scientific panel was convened. So they were telling the CIA to stop this top secret meeting of the five scientists. Now, when I read this, I almost fell from my chair. I mean, who were these people nobody had ever heard of before? They were actually telling the CIA to stop this top secret meeting of the five leading physicists in the land. Then they, went on saying that they wanted to discuss what could and could not be told to those scientists. Now, from a, if you will, from a historical point of view or from a ufological point of view, that may or my not be significant. From a scientific point of view, it's amazing, I mean, science relies on the ability of researchers to get the data and if there is somebody who is in the background telling agencies of a government what can and cannot be told to the scientists who are hired to make an assessment of the potential threat to the security of the country; I mean, this is... this is extraordinary."

I am one example of potentially millions who have gained from the exceptions to the common rule of rote learning, by those individuals who determined and practiced that learning is the ability and fostering of those abilities to ask important questions, not the repetition of dogma
Ask yourself this most important question; What does the state fear in the freedom of expression? Secondly, how has the most primary of our founding fathers reasons in rebellion and then establishment of a governance by individuals protected in their exercise of liberty..how does this now become an act of sedition defined by the actions of the state to supersede as Jefferson observed; "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."

"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."

A Legal Opinion From The Author of The Constitution
A note to those who would destroy our founding principals and who may be watching you as you come and go from this site,here is some reading material for the benefit of those who assume that they are our hidden masters. Remember it well:

"[The people] are in truth the only legitimate proprietors of the soil and government." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1813. ME 19:197

"Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429

"I consider the source of authority with us to be the Nation. Their will, declared through its proper organ, is valid till revoked by their will declared through its proper organ again also." --Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792. ME 8:301

"Independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Ritchie, 1820. ME 15:298

"What government [a nation] can bear depends not on the state of science, however exalted, in a select band of enlightened men, but on the condition of the general mind." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1817. (*) ME 15:114

"The government of a nation may be usurped by the forcible intrusion of an individual into the throne. But to conquer its will so as to rest the right on that, the only legitimate basis, requires long acquiescence and cessation of all opposition." --Thomas Jefferson to ----, 1825. ME 16:127

IThe Bill of Rights has been superceded. We are in the midst, not of a deception of the State but, we as it's rightful owners, have deceived ourselves.Until recently that was true of this writer. For others,it was evident.

On Board A Runaway Train

'It’s also truth that the U.S. in the modern world is the center of control and as such is really the center of repression over a lot of global media. Americans have a hard time understanding this because we all grew up thinking certain things about our country, but this isn’t the past. This is 2007. We’re in a different world. Other countries in fact can be expected to be pushing the envelope far more than the U.S. government. I think that what’s happening with the U.S. government is that it is firmly under the control of certain transnational corporations and very wealthy interests. They’ve gotten their hooks into matters here and they’re not going to let go easily. So if there is going to be change then it could very well come from elsewhere, from other countries. I definitely do not see any voluntary disclosure on the part of the U.S. government."
-Richard Dolan An Interview with Richard Dolan by Brent Raynes

This ham fisted attempt to destroy the basis of our liberty is a epitaph for the country my family fought for, as well as for the pursuit of truth. Those whom were entrusted and sworn with the preserving and defending of individual liberty as the foundational reason for the existance of their employer, are the agents of forces spinning wildly in the free fall of our constitutional principals which are applied against it's own people.

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
-Abraham Lincoln

This actor does not worry about such things as law or revolution as he is subtle, he does not shout or threaten, he whispers in your ear. He does not announce himself and hand you his business card. No,he deserves much more credit than that. He influences from afar, he utilizes stooges and pawns. He pays well. He notes weakness, he notes the texture and intent of your words and weighs them. He bides his time, collecting, analyzing, disseminating every word you transmit from your thoughts, every phrase. When the moment arrives he is certainly wants to be prepared for an occasion which may arise and require a quick response, a management of crisis or more darkly, a quick clean up of these factoids. Who is who and what is what. File them. Sort them. Assign designations, routings and numbers.Vertical integration and local cooperation is the key. It reminds me of another time, another place..mass movements..synthetic migrations...required identifications...it was very efficient. But of course, these sort of things happen to others, not to us. But back to my original question as it concerns this site. Why was it targeted?

In a democracy, there could be no justification for a national containment of undesirables, without the process of law, without the right to an attorney and the right to know what the charges are.
Right, sort of similar to domestic spying, is it not?

"It astonishes me to find... [that so many] of our countrymen... should be contented to live under a system which leaves to their governors the power of taking from them the trial by jury in civil cases, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce, the habeas corpus laws, and of yoking them with a standing army. This is a degeneracy in the principles of liberty... which I [would not have expected for at least] four centuries." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1788. (*) FE 5:3

I cannot provide you with a more pressing and relevant topic than this.This is not speculative, this is not an intellectual exercise, nor an entertainment.
This is your life.

The Kursk and An Unidentified Submarine Object

2008-01-10T17:01:00.001-08:00

On Saturday, August 12,2000 the giant Russian nuclear submarine Kursk -- carrying a crew of 118 -- sank in the waters of the Barents Sea, after what Russian officials described as a "catastrophe that developed at lightning speed." At the time the Itar-Tass news agency said that the nuclear-powered Russian submarine Kursk reported it had hit an unidentified object underwater. TRIA news agency, at the time, quoted the Northern Fleet press office as saying the crew was not in danger and that the question of abandoning the stricken vessel had not been raised. ''The Russian Northern Fleet command said, "They did not rule out that the foreign submarine was also damaged and was now not far from the Kursk.' A top Russian navy commander stated that SOS signals from a foreign submarine were recorded when the Kursk, was sinking.The commander of the Russian Northern Fleet, Vyacheslav Popov, is reported to have told a newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta that the signals had been picked up by a navy cruiser Peter the Great.Laboratory analysis showed the signals had been emitted by a foreign submarine near the Kursk, which he said added to evidence that the disaster had been caused by a collision. But he added that the real reason behind the accident would only become clear once the submarine had been raised. US Navy spokeswoman said, that a US Navy ship "Loyal," that routinely gathers underwater acoustical data, was about 250 miles away from the Russian submarine when it went down, which eliminated the possibility that this was the unidentified object referred to in the RIA report. The ship was there by coincidence and had nothing to do with the Russian submarine or subsequent rescue efforts." Two US submarines were also in the general area but there was no indication they were involved.More on this later.

The first meeting of the Russian Governmental commission was held on August 17 in the evening. At the same time the official version of disaster was declared. After more precise definition of August 19 and 20 it looked like the first reasons for tragedy was a strong "dynamic external impact" corresponding with "first event" at 11:29. Probably it was the collision with a foreign (?) submarine (by displacement not less than 10,000 t, and moving at a speed about 10 kn.).After the meeting it was announced that the survey during the recovery operation has produced new evidence, including a videotape of a dent in the "Kursk" hull and lines scratched on the fore part of the Kursk body, as if it had collided with some object. He did not rule out that an object on the sea surface could deal the blow.However this seems unlikely as well as the other theories of collision with a WW2 era mine or some unidentified ice breaker with a reinforced hull. Owing to large and fast entry of water in the bow compartments, the submarine hit the seabed with a down trim at high speed. This resulted in detonation of weapons in 1-st compartment ("second event" at 11:31). During the rapid development of the catastrophe, it was understood that most of the crew in most of the compartments, except 2-3 at the stern, has perished during first minutes of disaster. During TV-interview August 21, Russian Minister of Defence, announced three pieces of information (without any documentary proofs): 1) about 200 m near the KURSK's bow were detected foreign matters, presumably, fragments of conning tower of foreign submarine (Norwegian divers declared that they, at least, did not see anything like it). 2) In the morning of August 13 on the seabed near the KURSK was detected one more objects of similar dimensions. 3) The buoys of foreign colouring, green and white, were spotted also (but they were not found later).
This begs the question what is documentary proof or for that matter use of that term when they cannot be produced? Or, was the "proof", a ruse to deflect that they knew they had no proof and yet if this was so, what was the unidentified object?
This must have prompted a very testy, stressful and unscheduled drill of crisis management at the kremlin. I think the hapless "Marlboro Man" in the middle was reflecting perhaps a lateral career move to Siberia was a possibility.

To make matters worse, according to Ilya Klebanov and deputy Head of Northern Shipping Route Administration A. Ushakov, there were no civil vessels in exercises area, which eliminated yet another possibility.

The 5-day search in the area of accident by Mirs submersibles provided Russians with no evidence that the Kursk collided with a foreign submarine.
The submersibles spent around 96 hours all together underwater in search for such evidence, having surveyed around five square kilometres of the seabed around the Kursk.

So, what sank the Kursk?

Komsomolskaya Pravda reported on June 20, 2002 that;

"THE KURSK MYSTERY HAS BEEN SOLVED. ON JUNE 29, THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION INTO THE SUBMARINE SINKING WILL PRESENT A REPORT ON THE EXAMINATION AND ITS RESULTS. HOWEVER, IT IS ALREADY KNOWN THAT THE SUBMARINE WAS DESTROYED BY THE DETONATION OF A 650-MILLIMETER TORPEDO ON BOARD.
There is no longer any Kursk mystery - and there never was There is no more mystery about the Kursk submarine sinking. Because there never was.Yesterday, the governmental commission confirmed the conclusions of our investigation: the submarine sank due to the explosion of a large torpedo on board."

If so, one recalls that Itar-Tass news agency stated that Kursk reported it had hit an unidentified object underwater. What happened to the reported fragments, the hull damage,the videotape of a dent in the "Kursk" hull and lines scratched on the fore part of the Kursk body, as if it had collided with some object? Why was the detonation stated to be a "secondary event?"

Suddenly, case closed, at least it was for public consumption.

However,there was evidence to the contrary which confirmed in an independent manner, there was a collision. The sounds were recorded by seismograph in Norway.The first seismic trace from Norway showed the main explosion from what appears to be a torpedo warhead, and preceding it by two minutes, another smaller event. Although labeled as an explosion, the waveform is not that of an explosive event but a long grinding sound,which adds further substantiation as to what the Russians were stating earlier but then it was absent from the official public pronouncements as to the cause of the sinking, while the evidence demonstrated that there was a collision first, then a detonation.
Out of nowhere, suddenly the public was provided with yet another explanation which was planted in the media.

Source: Independent News (UK) EXCERPTED
Published: September 15 2000 Author: Patrick Cockburn

A misdirected missile from a Russian cruiser caused the disaster of the Kursk nuclear powered submarine during a training exercise, says a member of a Russian parliamentary team investigating the disaster.

Sergei Zhikov, a deputy and a former submariner, said yesterday that the Kursk and the Peter the Great, a Russian cruiser, were on an exercise in the Barents Sea in which "the cruiser acted as an enemy aircraft carrier and the submarine was expected to attack it". He said the Peter the Great fired five anti-submarine missiles at the Kursk but only four could be found afterwards. "It looks like the submarine was hit by the missing [anti-submarine] missile," Mr Zhikov told the Interfax newsagency.The Kursk then tried to rise to the surface in an emergency but had hit the bottom of the Peter the Great. The cause of the sinking of the Kursk and the death of its 118 crew is an episode that President Vladimir Putin wants to put behind him. The Kremlin now says that nobody survived the initial explosion and that tapping sounds from inside the hull, which the Russian navy said showed that some sailors were alive 48 hours after the disaster, were made by automatic machinery. The claim by Mr Zhikov is similar to a report in the Berliner Zeitung newspaper last week, which said that an investigation by the Russian Federal Security Service had concluded that the Kursk had been sunk by a Granit missile fired by the Peter the Great. It said that the Granit had travelled 12 miles underwater before exploding close to the Kursk. Russian officers have hotly denied that the Kursk could have been sunk by one of their own ships, but have been unable to explain exactly what happened. The Pentagon said that there were two explosions in the vicinity of the Kursk at 7.28am and 7.30am on 12 August. The second was 45 to 50 times bigger than the first, suggesting that one or more of the Kursk's own torpedoes had exploded.That appears to be confirmed by the extent of the damage to the forward part of the submarine, but the cause of the first explosion is still remains unknown.

Another small detail..the Russians understandably do not carry live warheads in an exercise. The use of such a weapon would have produced a trace on the sonar records of the US ship that was spying on the exercise. In the case of torpedos, both for the Russian and US, the training torpedos are designed only to get to within a certain distance of the target then surface to be recovered. Training torpedos do not hit their targets. How could or more importantly why would Sergei Zhikov, a former submariner, fabricate such a hoax?

Other facts emerged The rescue buoy was not released. The escape capsule was not used.The submarine has a large hole along the right side in the forward sections. Scratch marks extend to the fin, which also has some impact damage. The fin never touched the seabed. Large pieces of the sub's hull are scattered across the seabed, as well as having left a long trail on the seabed. All the external masts and the periscope were extended. These systems are extended only when the sub is surfaced, surfacing, or traveling at the periscope depth of about 10 meters. Prior to dives all masts are retracted inside the hull. This is done even during an rapid emergency diving. The inclination of the planes at a inclination of over 60 degrees starboard indicates the breach of the high pressure air and ballast tanks on the same ship side at the beginning of the plunge, which have caused automatic shut down of the two ship's reactors, because they could not operate at that tilt. It would appear the Kursk was on the surface, not submerged. But then again, why did it report hitting an unidentified object, unless the object was encountered during an emergency dive, but then again,, why were the masts and scope extended?
One thing is certain, the impact was extremely sudden. If the Kursk was surfaced why did it fail to detect and identify this object?

In the final written report, the official Russian government commission determined that the sub sank because of a explosion onboard. The cause of the explosion was likely to be a collision with an unidentified massive external body with approximate displacement of 7,000-8,000 metric tons traveling at over 6 knots (faster than "Kursk") at the depth of 20-25 meters. The impact was at a 20-30-degree angle between the velocity vectors of "Kursk" and the unidentified external object. Russian media reports related that the unidentified object, which hit "Kursk" was attempting to steer away to the left and down from the Russian submarine in the last moments before the collision.
What is interesting in this for those who are familiar with the UFO phenomenon, is there is always the psychology of The Answer Man, or in the plural who make a profession of pronouncements founded on their addiction to seeking approval of worth by others. Being contrary to ordinary certainly draws a crowd;

From The Austrialian:

US Torpedoed Kursk Nuclear Sub
Daniel Stacey, London | May 09, 2005

A FORMER British military official has backed a sensational claim that the Russian nuclear submarine, the Kursk, was torpedoed by US forces in August 2000.
An official inquest concluded that the disaster – in which all 118 crew drowned in the Barents Sea, 135km off the Russian coast – was caused by an accidental explosion of an onboard torpedo.But Maurice Stradling, a former torpedo engineer and a key figure in the original investigation, believes a new French documentary, The Kursk: A Submarine in Troubled Waters, should change world opinion on the sinking.
"On the balance of probabilities, the Kursk was sunk by an American MK-48 torpedo," said Mr Stradling, formerly a senior member of the British Defence Ministry.

This photograph was taken by A Russian satellite of the Norwegian naval base Haakonsvern on the August, 19,2000 and is used by ships up to frigate class,interestingly but not for for submarines.What the photograph revealed was a nuclear submarine of the Los Angeles class has come into Haakonsvern and moored in the piers close to a frigate. There have been unsubstantiated reports that this submarine as well as possibly another arrived there for emergency repairs.

The docking of this submarine, especially a nuclear one at that, at a base that does not accommodate it is odd but again, there are no verifiable reports that I am aware of that indicates repairs were undertaken. It is difficult to imagine if this were so, the Russians would fail to launch a major uproar. Instead the official finding remains just that and the unidentified object also remains unidentified.

Whether it was a USO or another submarine which caused this tragedy, I don't know, but the strangeness of this incident is provocative and can certainly be stamped "unsolved." Note: Since the time this was publishes, a new theory has emerged in relation to the type of outmoded ammonia propellant utilized by the Russians. I am not persuaded.

Emotional States and Extra Sensory Perception

2008-01-09T08:20:00.000-08:00

"Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not."-William James

"The most distant roots of Emotional intelligence can be traced back to Darwin’s early work on the importance of emotional expression for survival and adaptation.
In the 1900's, even though traditional definitions of intelligence emphasized cognitive aspects such as memory and problem-solving, several influential researchers in the intelligence field of study had begun to recognize the importance of the non-cognitive aspects. For instance, as early as 1920, E. L. Thorndike at Columbia University, used the term social intelligence to describe the skill of understanding and managing other people."
-From Emotional Intelligence Wikipedia

More Questions Than Answers
Is there a correlation and linkage between the ESP phenomenon,the phantasms of ghosts, and communication between pets and their owners? Is there a common denominator? Throughout our lives, our emotions track a parallel path alongside thought. Perhaps they are one and the same.
I don't know. However, there seems to be an unspoken perception rooted in that most mysterious phenomenon we call emotion within ourselves. As a student of reality as manifested in relationships, it is provocative. Especially in the context of our organic capability to create a higher grade energy from a lower grade source.
Think of a salad and then reflect on your capability to produce emotions as well as perhaps experiences are also food to be digested by another human organ that is personality. Perhaps the quality of our diet is based upon perceptual emotions, and, of course, our amphibious nature between the intangible and tangible allows us unique potential opportunities. However we must consider that in all likelihood we are more attached to our "pet corns" than any of us care to admit.

Perceptual Emotion and Behavior
Emotion and perception are co-joined as a stick with two ends. One emotional state or position is passive and the other is active.The two combine to create a third,the aggegate sum akin to a bandwidth that in of itself is a form of communication.
This possibility is one that has enormous potential and the object of this post is to share what has led me to my current course of interest and experimentation, which, at a later date, may prove to a dead end. Even so, its an interesting dead end.
Called "the heart" in it's intangible version, many consider this quality of ourselves the most mysterious of our faculties. This, in spiritual technical terms is what is called a station(1),that both receives and transmits according to its position in relation to a nested heirarchy, which Dr John Lilly observed and termed a transceiving capability.
On one end of this stick, there is emotion as a reactive set of autonomic biases based on a lack of coherent perception toward ones many preferences. Some you encounter you may either have an affinity toward, while, at the same time, others irritate you.
In this spectrum, this modality precedes communication which influences our conceptual nature which transforms this emotional predisposition into behavior within a reciprocal exchange between our senses and our state of bias, how we react either in attraction or repulsion to what we encounter. Some judge food by color. Some by a tactile sense. Some by smell. Perhaps we can consider this a case of influencing suggestion by how we define our perceptions. Also, we cannot discount the influence of one station of behavioral emotion when either attracted or repelled or neutralised by another whether it is in the laboratory or on the street. The perception of emotion as it effects behavior at times, seems to drive logic.

As Dr Sidris and William James went back and forth on this very issue of metaphysical versus physical with auto suggestion thrown into the mix, in all probability, they were both correct. GI Gurdjieff would conclude nobody is home, which leads us back to William James, who famously asked "Does Consciousness Exist?" Perhaps it does by how we conceptualise it by our own behavior then also perhaps as GI Gurdjieff observed, this may not be an objective stance as "the study of human psychology is the study of abnormal psychology."

"In our society, mainly concerned with production and efficiency, the drama is that our capacity for questioning, still so vivid in early childhood, is very quickly eradicated or pushed aside for the benefit of our capacity for answering. When a child has a real question, most of the time he is imme- diately given a stupid answer. In the best cases the educator goes to the dictionary to be sure his answer is accurate. But anyhow unconsciously, if not proudly, he closes the question. From school to the end of our life it is always necessary to answer. We are compelled to learn how to answer. If we don't know how to answer, we are just no good. So little by little we become some kind of model machine able-to-answer-to-all-situations with all the necessary blindness as regards its own contradictions. That kind of answering, whose degree of sophistication may sometimes hide from us its conditioned character, is required by our life. But under its dominating necessity, is it possible to keep alive in ourselves our most authentic and precious capacity, which is questioning?”

Parasympathetic Empathy
On the delimiting side of this stick, positioned away from an empirical utility, is a perceptual emotion that is transpersonal and for most, must be developed in order to transform this potential into a another sensory organ, one that is positioned between it's organic and inorganic capabilities. One fascinating area for future research is the formation of empathy in children as a precursor to this form of perception.Some are imprinted with this capability by the relationships they define within themselves by defining themselves by observation
There are many others as well. Another example appears in two forms. One is a natural disposition toward animals and on the other end, a reflection of this attribute in the object of empathy the reversal of reception in the capability of animals to anticipate the various human states of their "owners." When one considers the organic instability of the emotional spectrum one may have a reason to expect that the full potential range of this perception cannot be activated as if one is moving one's foot. A lack of recognition toward nuance and subtlety is a bane to research.
However, there is another facet, which is a developed conceptual sense of a trans personal potential and receptivity toward "moving the foot" by a developed set of beliefs which have an emotional component. When receptive emotional empathy is harnessed to a conceptualised model of anticipation defined by a integration of intellectual, emotional and instinctual paradigms, the potential of possibility is perhaps reflected back in a neo quantum event that can be, as Dr Lilly termed,
be "transceived".

Emotional Perceptions of Cellular Memory
On the organic side of this triad, we can see evidence of this organic portion of this relationship by what we we call cellular memory, for lack of a better term. In Nexus Magazine, we can read an online version of a provocative paper entitled 'Organ Transplants and Cellular Memories' which covers cases of "patients who have received transplanted organs, particularly hearts, it is not uncommon for memories, behaviours, preferences and habits associated with the donor to be transferred to the recipient."
Here is the link: http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/CellularMemories.html
What is striking in this facet of a phenomenon again is preserving choices based on an individuated set of emotional correlations just as in the example of "emotional perception" which in turn creates a bias..."liking" this or "disliking" that.
Are we referring to a subatomic process? Here we go again. Protons anyone?

Emotional Imprinting On Materiality.
Most of us are familiar with the faint tracings of a phenomenon known as "ghost" activity which appears to be manifested in a locale where extraordinary emotional trauma, such as murder, unexpected death, unresolved conflicts and anger which are often historically connected to events which have anchored as residual memories, as if an associative semi-autonomous set of preserved reactions has been separated as if they were discarded remnants of a processing program called "personality" that is ghosting like a reactive cellular memory, on materiality. The reason I wrote "semi-autonomous" is that they appear to be confined to where they are left. I some spiritual teachings they refer to a discarding of personality as it is defined by an interaction between inner and outer realities.(2) This imprinting certainly is provocative if one considers the traces that can be viewed using infrared imaging equipment.

"Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual."
-J Kirshnamurti

In the next post on this topic, sympathetic magic, the emotional linkage and wear and tear on "mediums", as well as looking at the "pitch" of emotion; IE: low voice= low energy and our reactions to music are among the facets of this relationship, as well as the study of Chakra theory

Appendix
(1)THE ELEMENTS OF SUFISM By: Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri: "We need to distinguish between the two terms: state and station. It is the difference between how it is and where it's at. State means something which one can feel or taste. One can sometimes feel an inner state of incredible generosity or great upliftment. However this state may not be lasting. What is really desired by the seeker is to attain a station which cannot occur unless it is properly founded and secure. A station is not temporary and can always be relied upon and recalled. Most of the wayfarers on the path of God will taste different states to varying degrees of lasting without any permanence in them, which is unsatisfactory and insufficient. It is for this reason that a guiding hand is needed to ensure that a seeker becomes established in a desirable station. So the companionship and relating to people who are on the path is an essential factor in a seeker's progress. Another important reason for having the right companionship is that we are always a product of the last moment, and since this moment is born from the previous moment and that from the one before it, and so on, there is continuity. A person on his own cannot realize how much he has deviated from the path of self-knowledge or self-realization."
(2) There are countless examples wherein the predominate paradigm of "life after death" critically assumes that "personality" is not a process but a discrete entity in of itself and survives death. However, my own thinking is that this is a defacto position in that the vast majority cannot find another more fitting candidate. Terms like "essence" ..potentiality..non local observation..reflect a short hand terminology that substitutes knowledge with place marker which tend to be mistaken and infinitely altered in a flux of meaning and value by one's subjective emotional perception.

Once Upon The Eltanin Object

2008-01-08T15:27:00.001-08:00

"What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment."
-George Kelly

Once upon a time,the USNS Eltanin, was engineered as an ice breaking cargo ship,while launched and acquired by the US Navy in 1957 as such, it was subsequently reclassified as an Oceanographic Research Vessel for the National Science Foundation in 1962, Notably,it became the world's first Antarctic research ship. Eltamin was conducting a uneventful surveillance sweep off the coast of South America. It was equipped with photographic equipment designed specifically for deep oceanic photography. At a depth of 13,500 feet(4115 metres) at a latitude of 59 degrees 08' south and a longitude of 105 degrees 00'west the crew on the Eitanin photographed an anomalous submerged object.
While organic nature follows a symmetry of form, the symmetrical nature of this object is striking as well as the fact it consists of a central mass, most likely hmade of a metal or some other rigid material, which allows it's vertical positioning above the sea floor for the alignment of an array of seven to eight horizontal extensions of equal length, also apparently rigid, that, in turn position unknown devices akin to protuberances at the end of each.
These objects, one each, at the end of each extension, are apparently intentioned to be positioned roughly 15 degrees from one another.
This object has been termed an artifact when it appears to be more likely, a precision engineered device. To accurately position in location and orientation as well as securely anchor this object, would require the execution of several tasks, each required to complete this installation, at a considerable depth.
It appears a reasonable guess that this is a device intentionally engineered,positioned and secured to provide a utility for it's creators. This, based upon what we do know regarding the visual similarities of terrestrial devices, perhaps the HARP array corresponds to this configuration.

However, on the other hand, the aforementioned engineering of such an object by Great Natures capability to organically materialise such an object, which is also strikingly similar to the object of our interest, is perhaps an apt example of where the study of anomalous objects meets human psychology inasmuch we anticipate according to the bias of our conceptual models as applied to our additive craving to confirm the objects of our desire. However, there is yet another psychological factor in this horse race. Upon noting the similarity of this object it's closest visual match as produced by nature, it was similarly and immediately announced that this similarity was conclusive evidence that, in of itself, "proved" that it was not manufactured. As having a family relation who was a homicide detective in a major city, we intermittently discussed the nature of evidence as applied to the reasonable probability that one of several possibilities of suspects was the correct choice. This is the nature of a line up of suspects who happen to be located in a unreachable marine environment. The deepest diving U.S. submarine, the DSRV Alvin, can descend to 4,500 meters depth.

The "logic" of the intellect when isolated or viewed as the sole required medium to determine material reality is a fallible device. We instinctively, as a remnant of survival behavior, abhor a vacuum in our knowledge. On the other hand, the gift of imagination is a two sided sword as well. While it allows us to envision in the absence of our sensate recognition, it can also be mistaken as much as in the example of the intellect. The paranormal targets and navigates the cartography of this blind spot in our cognition, with precision. We are left huddling around the proverbial campfire. At the onset of odd, unrecognised calls, the unaccountable rustling of the undergrowth, we either discount what we cannot understand or build upon our repertoire of fear. Only a few venture beyond what we can survey with impunity and go forth into the unknown in an exploratory venture of risk. The irony of this is not unknown to those of us who recognise that what the Eltanin photographed is still unidentified, unless we have another methodology, another choice beyond A or B whilst both camps around the fire deride our efforts. They are the less for this. Over the course of time, the subtlety, the nuance, of the unrecognised, the paranormal, the anomalous will glide effortlessly between these two camps, which clutch their preferences as talismans against the affront of simply acknowledging one does not know. The greater irony in this is the potential that the odd sounds, the comings and goings beyond their refuge portend an ill effect upon them. The pathology of control is a unspoken prayer to those who hide in it's guise by professing absolute certainty, as well as those who prefer to imagine that they know. The UFO Theory in politics is uncertainty, as the unexpected turn, the unanticipated twist of fate.
There is no Ufology, what there is are the coagulated remains of an unkept promise to ourselves, that manifests in dime store paperbacks, tabloid antidotes and the cyclic nature of gossip as a science.
Somewhere up there in the stars we observe, there are those who paid a price for their courage and curiosity who look down upon us now, their legacy squandered, their science tarnished and their tenacity misconstrued.
Those of you who have come here to witness my self doubt, my vain attempts to grasp this phenomenon with worn out tools, I am speaking to those of you I know for a fact that have come here to watch, from NASA, U.S Navy Network Communication Center, Emerson Electric,Northrup Grumman Corporation, Shell information Technology,U.S Oceangraphic Command Center,Lockheed Martin, Motorola and Boeing, this is a great entertainment is it not? Why the interest in a speculation upon a Cetacean Humanoid?
Your silence speaks volumes. Oh,I see this morning that Sandia National Laboratories stopped by as well.
You as in a aggregate collection of enormous capabilty, have a greater opportunity than I or my fellows.Standing in stealth, on the sidelines, around the campfire, may be a self comforting form of interest but don't rationalise that others, like myself carry your water in public for their fellow man as a defacto act of concern on your behalf.
If you don't know, say so.If you do know, we are grow old by our swinging in the breeze of your public stance of professed or enforced ambivalence toward the subject at hand.
Perhaps its time we all move on from our respective positions, myself included, as this would provide an opportunity to catch up and spend some time with an old friend.

See you on the river. Mr Twain and myself.... well......We'll save you a chair.

Extra Dimensional Dreams, Influence and Processing.

In The Memory of Boris Sidis, Ph.D., M.D.

"In the province of the mind what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experimentally as well as experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. However, in the province of the body there are definite limits not to be transcended."
-Dr John Lilly

More Questions Than Answers

"The hypnoidal state precedes and succeeds sleep."
Dr Boris Sidris An Experimental Study Of Sleep

One of the most tragic ironies that occur over the passage of time is that some of the most courageous and prodigal geniuses who probe realty, make discoveries and create theories that predate their acceptance in a distant future they will never experience. Nikola Tesla comes to mind. They are forgotten, unrecognised and become ghosts which haunt the unclaimed territories they had discovered.

Dr Boris Sidis was one such person who discovered by experimentation, the connection between suggestibility and waking consciousness. In Gurdjieff's words, the study of psychology is the study of abnormal psychology. When William James, one of the founders of psychology, published "Does Consciousness Exist?, Sidis published a response,which makes for an interesting read. http://sidis.net/fnapapp1.htm
What is also an facet of Dr Sidris's work is his study of a filtering mechanism of necessity that acts as a judicious chancellor, who weighs the import of the subconscious against the functioning imperative of the conceptual, consensus reality we inhabit to a great deal, however it seeps through like water through shale.

The recognition of this skewed suggestive and semi-hypnotic influence on perception, makes one consider that if this is so in our waking state, then in a dream state, perhaps if an external agency could delve even deeper into this state, as in the case of the abduction phenomenon and it's cousin the vivid dream, and beyond, the extra dimensional dream, we are but passive receptacles akin to puppets under the influence of suggestion, meaning that, in the truest sense, do not exist beyond the reactive behavior stimulated by influence. Are we but a single receptor as if one were merely a single portion of a global aggregate, a sympathetic nervous system nested in a larger hierarchy? Meaning, value and effective behavior are perhaps a triad that is a more specific and esoteric definition of a well known purpose. The end result being a process of integration that leads to a potentiality of "On Earth, as it is in heaven." This is not a free floating game of associations in one sense, it is a science perhaps. If you doubt this, follow this link;

http://www.sufienneagram.com/overview.html

"There is nothing closer to you than yourself. If you don't know your self, how will you know others? You might say, "I know myself," but you are mistaken.... The only thing you know about your self is your physical appearance. The only thing you know about your inside (batin, your unconscious) is that when you are hungry you eat, when you are angry, you fight, and when you are consumed by passion, you make love. In this regard you are equal to any animal. You have to seek the reality within yourself.... What are you? Where have you come from and where are you going. What is your role in the world? Why have you been created? Where does your happiness life? If you would like to know yourself, you should know that you are created by two things. One is your body and your outer appearance (zahir) which you can see with your eyes. The other is your inner forces (batin). This is the part you cannot see, but you can know with your insight. The reality of your existence is in your inwardness (batin, unconscious). Everything is a servant of your inward heart."
-Al Ghazalli

If the mind is a reflection of a non local point of observation,as some physicists suggest, that we, as sentient creations occupy a unique position between worlds, we ask; Does communication from an external agency within the dream state occur? One considers this in the light of the work of our good Dr Sidris, is this an attempt to do an end run around our tendency to be pulled by consensus reality as if it were a phenomenological gravity field? Let's yank it the other way? If so, does it require a unique physiology of biochemistry? Is there a purpose? If so, what is it? These are some of the questions I have asked myself. This post is a recounting of my own experiences and the next describes my attempts to process and integrate this phenomenon.

Provocations

There are what I term extra dimensional dreams, which combine the clarity of vivid dreams with real time sensate inputs, especially keen body awareness, refined control of vision, speech and touch. As an example of this level of refinement,you are aware of squinting when exposed to a bright light. You feel warmth and cold, wind, etc.
Waking from such a dream is extremely abrupt when compared to a run of the mill dream cycle which is gently progressive in its fading and transition to waking consciousness.You instanaeously wake in a split second, eyes wide open. There is an immediate dissociating sense akin to being stunned physically as well as having or being two places at once in a clear cognition of bi locality. There is a alarming and chilling, recognition that what you have experienced is literally impossible, which is disorientingly upsetting. Your body is extremely rigid and stiff, and is somewhat irritating to move, as if your muscles have atrophied. You feel as if a heartless trick has been played upon you as you can neither share this experience nor provide proof of it either to yourself or others that you were both here and there.
You play a game of devil's advocate with yourself and you are aware you must not lose your sense of context. For several days you experience daily life with a sense of dislocation which you bury out of necessity. You tell your wife and no one else. She is open-minded but much to your relief is a skeptical counterweight. A grounding yet indirect participant. She is used to this by now and grudgingly accepts it.

Then there is the mother of all differentiation in the classifications catalog of dreams that no amount of self serving dithering will obscure, which haunts you....there were choices, free will of one's own volition to participate or not.
You chose on several occasions not to proceed, only to be returned to be in the same place and given the same choice once again. No one forced you. This is a play of sophistication which bides it's time with patience. However, free will has its limits, you did not choose to be invited into this game in the first place.
From whence does it arise?

While rare in occurrence,you are keenly aware that you will never know when it will occur. When they do, you have some very real trepidation afterward, of falling asleep, of losing control. You read books at night to get your mind off of this potential.You have to sleep.

A Game of Chess

You always awake on a pathway, whether it is a tunnel, a road or a field or a structure. Human nature does not allow for standing in place for prolonged periods of time. You resist movement, the temptation to explore, to make what is a pathway by the decision to move forward. If you do you will participate in this game.You acknowledge to yourself this is a created situation in which lacks subtlety inasmuch you feel like a laboratory animal. An equal proportion of fear and anger is with you. You demonstrate a sense of self pity, of this cruel injustice. The response is silence. Then it dawns upon you. If you do not move forward, perhaps you are trapped here. It is what it is, no more, no less...your move. What's your decision?

Try this on for size. Pick a location and stand there for a minute. Look around you. What if what you see and where you are are absolutely foreign to you?
This is a game of metaphysical chess. Its your move.

Extra Dimensional Dream Experience As An Influence

You awake on your hands and knees upon the sidewall of a dark cylinder lit in a faint light which is some distance ahead of you. You feel gravity pulling from behind. So you logically assume by experience that you must be located in a vertical structure.
However you see the dim silhouette of someone else, also on their hands and knees, roughly fifty feet from your location. He doesn't see you. After what seems like an eternity which is afew moments, he makes a decision to stand up. He laughs "Look at this this is crazy, I can stand up!" After a subdued jig, he begins walking to the source of light. He's playing this game. You do not want to remain there so you follow and feel as though you are the subject of a cattle drive.

You follow him and find others, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and speaking among themselves. They look at you with the same pity they reserve for themselves. They have nothing to say because we are all in a significant state of disoriented paranoia mixed with inescapable awe. Deja Vue ensues in me whilst observing the scene. If you want to experience this for yourself, you can. Go to a classroom on the first day of kinder garden and observe children. That was our little group.

The question we discuss is why we are here. Theories abound. We are in a dream. We are dead. We have been abducted by aliens.Then the topic changes. Are we prisoners? The lady with the blonde hair becomes indignant. "What do you think?..of course we are...!"

We don't like this topic. Topic changes again. I miss my children. I miss my wife. Now we feel instantly relived there's someone else to talk to.

I am impatient with talk now, and so I decide to do the obvious. I congratulate myself that this idea has occurred to me. I walk toward the glass windows to look out. Everyone notices this and follows me.

What we see is a supernaturally beautiful light that seemingly has empathy and sentience that illuminates or rather permeates the most vividly lush forest landscape I have ever been privileged to look upon.
Topic change again. Oohs and ahhhs. Unbelievable. This is beautiful. We must be in heaven. That means we are dead. Silence, We gathered there at that window, quiet,in the thrall of this place, whatever and where ever it was, we were no longer in the grip of anxiety in the anticipation of being either marooned or prisoners.

Just at that moment, a woman quietly and gracefully entered our room and asked us to gather by her. She was middle aged, but had white hair pulled back that fell along her back. She was dressed in a white cowl with some sort of blue tunic over it. She had penetrating empathetic,irradiating blue eyes that I will never forget. I cannot discuss what we spoke about simply because I lack the courage to do so. In essence, we were told that we were there to be taught. We would return home. We would come back again. One day, we will have to go on a journey for five days. One guy in a rumpled business suit blurted out; "Can we tell our families?" Yes. of course.

We departed one by one, but I hesitated and went back to the window. She approached me and came very close in front of me. I was emotionally overwhelmed and compulsively asked, 'Mother, tell me something that is true.." She took her hand and drew me closer by pulling me closer by a gentle grasp of the back of my neck.She wanted me to pay attention to her words.

"There was once a young nun in training in a cloistered convent. It was a fast and no one was allowed to eat. Another young novice into the kitchen to take some food because she was hungry. The Mother Superior was told there was food missing. She called all the young novices together and demanded to know who had taken the food. I knew who did. I lied and told her it was me."

I awoke with the fierce volition of a rifle bullet.

I have no idea to this day who this woman was as to either her identity or purpose, or role. I have tried in vain thinking perhaps she is a saint to locate her in some historical biography. Not being a Catholic was a disadvantage, but then I thought why would she necessarily be Catholic?

In short, I gave up long ago, any attempt in trying to verify anything about her, to somehow prove to my own skepticism, this was something I could test. Right.

In other extra dimensional dreams I was guided through not one but several heavens each existing for the conceptual basis that the dead had created as a defining attribute toward themselves. The dead became what they loved.

On the first visit was the locus of the sense of occupation, of place, of
family, of unresolved longing which was their dream transposed upon our existence as ghosts.

On the second visit, was a locus of activity akin to but not corresponding to a enormous mall, the pursuit of art, the gathering of books, the browsing of a infinite library and museum, in endlessly conversing crowds and groups and yet, they had no sense of the strangeness of this existence.

On the third visit, I saw seriously the disturbed, the angry, the shouting, the calamity of tortured souls each followed in dialog by what appeared to be attendants
assisting their rampant confusion into an integrated effort to heal them.

What all of these extra dimensional dreams had in common, was that all these individuals regardless of their domain, as it were, was generously supported according to their own self conception in a locality, whilst each was given an opportunity regardless of their state of location,by their own efforts,to progress.
Perhaps the afterlife is a continuation of process, not an end goal wherein we sit around and sip mint julips having congradulated ourselves...on what?
These experiences began to radically transform the meanings, values and behaviors I positioned in relation toward my life.
In another series, I was presented with a neighborhood wherein there was an old park with a gravel pathway winding behind some trees. On the second visit, I followed it up to a hill and saw two gate pillars on either side. On the third, I was there again. I chose not to enter. On the fourth, I entered and walked down the other side of a hill and saw a distant village. I chose not to continue. Each time I was returned to the same locale and the same set of choices.

Processing and Integration of Impossibility

I have asked myself many times as to the value, influence and purpose of these experiences. I have processed them in the background like a subroutine of a larger view. Did I create them or were they created outside of myself and presented to me in a recognisable form? Or, is it that both are true? Or, none?

In a future post, I will share some preliminary theories I have arranged toward integrating these experiences in a positive light, rather than becoming hopelessly conflicted. My main consideration in writing this is the possibility that I am not alone in this apparrent maze.

I also successfully thwarted their continuance, at least that's what I tell myself when I am whistling past the graveyard

Part Three: Cetacean Humanoids of The Depths

2008-01-04T07:25:00.000-08:00

Dedicated In Memory of Ivan Sanderson.

Is this image that of a terrestrial cetacean humanoid or a phantasm or a projection of ourselves or a sentient extraterrestrial?

Which is more likely, traversing the vast stellar distances between stars hoping for a 'hit" or, navigating the ocean floor?

The classic alleged phantasm or sentient humanoid irritatingly nicknamed The Grey, has always fascinated me as an object of speculation in terms of sensate anatomy inasmuch as hearing or receiving sound in an atmosphere would require some sort of ear, however they appear, on the surface, to be absent, which is rather odd regardless as whatever gaseous atmosphere they require would carry sensate sound to be received by an appropriate organ akin to our own. Yet, they are absent, or are they?
If their natural enviromental medium is a liquid, perhaps this accounts for their apparent absence. Then again, perhaps not. However, it is provocative as one portion of constructing a speculative possibility as a medium to explore possibilities. Is this Grey a branch of an evolutionary tree that has vanished beneath depths of the ocean, only to resurface when threatened by extinction? When I first viewed this photograph of a dolphin ear, I was struck by the visual kinship of similarity to a "Grey."

One asks; Are Dolphins and Humans descendants of a common ancestor, rather than the theory that makes the critical assumption of the "ape" as a sole actor within the dynamic of evolution?
Recent research seems to indicate the connection between humanoids and cetaceans will eventually replace or at minimum, significantly revise the "ape" theory.
If so, perhaps to speculate upon another variant of nature which may be genetically linked to our own aquatic phase, which is said to have occurred possibly between 3 and 7 million years ago is an interesting scenario.
A potential linkage between the sonics of aquatic images as a form of communication and the terrestrial cymatics in the form of the symbolics within the pictographs of formulations known as "crop circles" may exist.
When taken in the light of the USO phenomenon, this creates a theoretical basis for speculation upon a sentient creature that spans cryptozoology and ufology in the sense that it uses a technological extension of it's organic senses in the same sense that I use a laptop to produce these images that are transmitted to and received by you. A Cetacean humanoid may use others.
In this case the images transposed in a terrestrial form to communicate with us, their atmospheric cousins with sound as a predominate feature or perhaps more accurately, a source of energy capable of manipulating imaging materials with ultrasonic waveforms as in the pictograms in crop circles. Or, is there some other means to produce them to the degree of precision that some examples manifest, given a unreasonably finite amount of time to produce them?

What is interesting is that the human brain operates at a range well below that of hypersonic sound waves,and the effects of exposure to inaudible high frequencies was previously thought or shall we say assumed to be non-existant.
Our cousins, the dolphins are capable of a 8 - 200 kHz range. The human mind operates between 3-13hz. The previous assumption that these hypersonic waves have no effect has recently been revised by new research that does indicate significant effects as covered in detail in The Journal of Neurophysiology in a study entitled "Inaudible High-Frequency Sounds Affect Brain Activity: Hypersonic Effect"
Results in other newly published studies suggest that the intensity of inaudible HFC modulates human sound perception as well as effects that "inhibit the para-sympathetic nervous system." which is responsible for the lowering of our heart rates and "when sufficiently intense, appears to result in a syndrome involving manifestations of nausea, headache, tinnitus, pain, dizziness, and fatigue." which is a uncanny close match to the after effects of an abduction event. We can only wonder what other results further research will bring to light.

Another striking set of speculative connections between ourselves and dolphins are the dolphin's organic capabilities to transmit images in real time as their "language" and the internal manifestation of images in remote viewing within ourselves. This capability we already have as a process we experience nightly in "dreams". Perhaps dreaming is a intermediate evolutionary capabilty that manifests images as self referential representations which lack the input of further organic receptivity.
Considering that we have a much shorter evolutionary history, the rare ability of remote viewing may be an advanced example at the cutting edge of evolutionary human potential, while a dolphin may consider this experience as mundane.
By extension we look in our mirror to The Grey and consider their capability to walk through walls as well as alleged telepathic capability as their sole means of communication. This brings to mind the possibility that they are present only in our cognition as a received projection that has been presented within us as a receiver by their organic capability to induce holographic experiences. Or, they actually walk through walls. Your choice. Abductions as I have covered in other posts are similar to an induction of state and interestingly, that modality of communicating conceptually in images is what the cetaceans use among themselves.

All of this considers the possibility that what comes out of the oceanic waters as a UFO is in fact, the product of a highly evolved mammal akin to that of a dolphin with humanoid characteristics.

In the arcane science of Legominisms, the conceptual encapsulation in the creation of the Tritons, the Merrow, Selkies and the Sirens all have, as their nexus, an amphibious creature much like the one observed for two hours by the Naturalist George Stellar in 1741, who, for lack of any comparative accuracy coined the pseudo referential name,"Sea Ape.", which one imagines to be a sentient humanoid adapted to an aquatic enviroment.

Our Naturalist having encountered one in the Northern Pacific, south of the Aleutian Islands, noted it had a asymmetric tail like that of a shark incorporated into a formulation of a aquatic humanoid. This observation was theorised as having been mistaken for a Sirenia, one of many such herbivorous mammal whose natural environment encompasses rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands. However, there are no such creatures known to inhabit those waters.

Of the 70 known sightings of these elusive creatures, 52 have been sighted in environments where there are no candidates for factoring in the probability of mistaken identity. In addition, this attempt to overlay the classification of pinnipeds upon our mystery humanoid has one glaring error, they lack arms. However it is interesting to note that like our aforementioned dolphin, the "sea cow" is also a mammal. This in of itself launches us into the conceptual hyperspace of psychological associations and identifications that trigger us like fish caught in a net by language.

As in Ufology, within cryptozoology, ad hoc proper nouns and terms take on a life of their own, often creating barriers or the projection of archetypes which then evolve into a bizarre defacto and self referential reality. Greys, Skunk Apes, Drones, Mothman are a plague upon us. I really struggled with how to term a speculation, which in of itself, is counterintuitive.

"Our words have not and cannot have any constant meaning, and to indicate at every word the meaning and the particular shade which we attach to this word, that is, the relations in which it is taken by us, we have in the first place no means; and secondly we do not aim at this; on the contrary, we invariably wish to establish our constant meaning for a word and to take it always in that sense, which is obviously impossible, as one and the same word used at different times and in various relations has different meanings." -GI Gurdjieff

Of course, then we ask ourselves, where in all of lies the root of origin that predated this enigmatic creature? In the case of the Nummo, one author felt that these creatures are, in effect explorers who exploit the lessened gravitational forces that water provides, inasmuch as they are a aquatic species who have migrated
here from the stellar region of Sirius, as outlined in the remarkable and provocative Dogon mythology which had somehow gained in it's corpus, astronomical data that we only recently have discovered.

Theories abound in the realm where the truth is hidden in plain sight, or at least is considered a possibility.

"Anthropologists are not certain when hominids quit growing thick fur, or why they developed an opposable thumb and the "S-curve" of the spine for upright bipedality. I have a novel concept, an hypothesis, that may account for the upright bipedality and the bare skin of Homo sapiens. Of course, the reasons of their development is meaningless concerning the cause and course of latter developments. There is a group of monkeys that is currently undergoing the change to bipedality; an occurrence that I have noticed but many others have not. They live near a permanent water hole, calm river, or estuary. The trees that grow near the pond drop fruit into the water, especially when the monkeys are shaking the limbs of the tree as they climb for the fruit. Once the monkeys have cleaned the tree of fruit, the ones that can wade farthest into the water and retrieve fruit will eat more and have a better chance of survival. Wading is a bipedal activity. The farther one of the monkeys can wade, the more protection they gain from predators that will not swim for game. When accidentally falling into the water from the fruit tree, upright bipedality increases the monkey's ability to get out of the water. I wonder if baby chimpanzees can swim in the manner that infant Humans do? The ability to walk upright and greater manual dexterity allows them to gather more food, avoid predators, and survive drowning. Considering hippos, elephants, and other amphibious mammals, I imagine that fur would be a hindrance for life in and out of the water, and it was eventually lost by the small pongid as it evolved upright bipedality in its aquatic environment."

Maybe we should reverse course entirely based on the evidence as well as a series of assumptions of equal value that we stood on the shore of the sea, while others, sought their fortunes in the ocean.. Mounting evidence suggests that human's are more closely related to dolphins, far more than they are related to apes, if you've studied the latest scientific research, you would be impressed. Genetic research into the genetics of dolphins have just begun. Monkeys wading into the water? Perhaps.

There is an influx of research that indicates humans, dolphins, and apes evolved from a common ancestor.There are studies comparing humans and cetaceans (dolphins and whales). These studies focus on the similarities of the brain, especially the neocortex. In this regard the cetacean brain is nearly identical, and superior to the human brain according to the latest research. It is now common knowledge that research into the skeletal structure of Cetaceans shows vestiges of toes (fingers?) and dewclaws . These evolved into powerful flippers and tails, indicating that dolphins and whales once lived on the land.

In the studies of Dr. Michel Odent - world famous surgeon and pioneer into human water births - dolphins, humans and apes are likely to have evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago.One of the most noticeable differences between human and ape is the lack of hair. However, consider the gray, hairless skin of the dolphin. Did I say grey?

One wonders if this theory is a shadow image of some path we cannot traverse as perhaps something similar but more fully fleshed toward George Stellars sighting of a "sea ape" may have happened in the dim light of the past. Another factor in all this, which is all the rage, in the babble between Creationists and Evolutionists which presents the issue of vestigial mammalian gills and tails found in the early developmental stages of a human foetus, albeit in a silly escapade akin to a twice told tale.

Another factor that swirls in this whirlpool of artifacts, observations, theories which includes our disjointed and incomplete evolutionary matrix, is the provocative enigma that ufology and cryptozoology commonly faces is the resolute determination of their target to remain at arms length. However, perhaps if we are sharing this planetary sphere with another species, the content of such alleged contacts may have a more practical and less altuistic perspective.

"Mr. Mutwa and the children were both distressed by their experiences. But they also spoke spontaneously of receiving powerful communications from the alien beings, especially through their huge black eyes, about the failure of our species to take proper care of the earth. This unsolicited information is quite consistent with what I have been learning from American experiencers. A recently interviewed geologist and abduction experiencer wrote me that his experiences have taught him that "We are a run-away species bent on self-destruction, because we (collectively) are unwilling to impose self controls to stop our growth and to plan for our future with forethought and higher purpose" (Bruce Cornet, letter to the author, December 1994)."

First human-caused dolphin extinction reported
Aug. 11, 2007
World Science staff

Scientists this week reported the first human-caused extinction of a dolphin.
The freshwater Yangtze River dolphin, also known as baiji, seems to be no more, researchers said. The animal inhabited the middle and lower Yangtze River and neighbouring Qiantang River in eastern China. It “has long been recognized as one of the world’s rarest and most threatened mammal species,” wrote Samuel T. Turvey of the Zoological Society of London and colleagues in the Aug. 7 online issue of the research journal Biology Letters.

When I read this, and as I type this, I am disgusted, frustrated and angry.

Each year as many as 50,000 species disappear and this rate is rapidly increasing. I think it reasonable to consider that any unknown species worth it's salt has every reason to avoid us.
Others sense that this tact of avoidance by our prey, in of itself, "proves" that we are chasing a Chimera.
We may be chasing a projection that has been intentionally foisted into the range of our vision, in it's hydra headed manifestations as an emblematic lure of a transpersonal and transcendant nature. This object of fixation is intended for a target who is addicted to empirical and materialist physics, which, as we all know, is destroying the very organic nature it is composed of. What is more frightening, is that this chilling recognition has become just another obscure sidebar on page 15, lost in the media deluge of trivia.
I began all this as the kid in the theater rooting for Godzilla, thinking to myself,I hope he kicks their ass. And so it goes.
If USO is a vehicle, and the vehicle's occupants are members of a species who call the waters of the ocean home, then why do they not have fins? Perhaps at one point in time they did. We are all a work in process, a potentiality. The evolution of a oceanic society and the technological path of such a society must remain as we found it, out of reach as to produce more grist to mill.
We mine the facets of the unexplainable and the speculation upon the variations of shooting arrows into the sky, hoping against hope, we can hit the target. In a sense, perhaps this quest of holy fools reserves a portion of wonder for the future.

If you want to read all three posts on this subject, go to the Home Page, then scroll down the page.Part One covers USO phenomenon in general terms. Part Two covers interspecies communications.

As for me, I will be writing the next post which will explore recently discovered astronomical anomalies in regard to the evolution of our planet in the near term. Perhaps it will not be the end of our planet but our celestial basis of the calendar may require a serious revision. Then again, perhaps not.

Part Two: A Dialect of Energy: Breaking The Sound Barrier

2008-01-03T08:37:00.000-08:00

"Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals: talking snakes, and birds, and fish; and about people who try to communicate with them.
John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank. And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically. And one of the questions the whale kept asking was: do all oceans have walls?

You know, I've always thought that one of the most serious defects of the human body was that you couldn't close your ears. You can't point them anywhere or close them, they just sort of hang there on the sides of your head. But an acupuncturist explained to me that the pressure points in the ears are very important because the whole body is represented right there in the ear. The ears, he said, are vestigial fetuses, little versions of yourself, one male and one female, and he showed me here's the lobe, that's the miniature upside down head, and this curve here is the spine, and right here are the little genitals, and that was when I went back to wearing hats.'

-Laurie Anderson 'John Lilly' from 'The Ugly One With The Jewels'

Unfortunately, I underestimated the amount of exposition this topic requires. It is always a challenge to condense and edit the material in this blog so it does not become a veritable encyclopedia on the subject and, on the other hand, to provide enough information as to make the topic faintly comprehensible. And so, there must be three parts to this series. Having admitted my own ongoing fallibility, in the previous post, I began to convey the work of Dr Lilly in the context of alternate modes of communication as they may apply both to interspecies communication as well as our respective difficulties of translation.
Perhaps, under our noses, this is occurring in some manner, while we are far from developing a dialog. In the Newtonian sense, for the purpose of illustrating this situation,communication is like a ping pong game, back and forth, the ball of sound shuttles cojoined between the players.

Recently I returned to reflect on the passive "listening" concept behind SETI.
I thought to myself, if I want to play ping pong, how successful will I be in achieving my goal of having a game if I wait for the statistical probabilities resulting in these random factors; A. some person to come by B. A person who intuitively knows I want to play without my announcing this by making it known C. Knows ping pong. Then consider I want to find a player on Alpha Centuri as I sit on my lawn chair. What if they don't like ping pong? Hmmm...maybe I should begin actively pursuing making this known first locally....if I am in a alien country like France, Do I go out onto the roadway waving a ping pong mallet shouting ping pong! ping pong!If I chose to pursue this, perhaps it would work better once I am released from the psychiatric facility. I might have saved myself a great deal of tragicomedy if I held up a picture of two people playing ping pong and pointed to myself.
Is there a common, universal language shared throughout our universe as well as in the ocean depths?

The reciprocal exchange of energy within our own solar system and beyond could be viewed from several perspectives.
One of which is that each planet orbiting around our sun as well as the aggregate system could be likened to that of a living creature of nature with a unique subset of ecology's and yet perhaps all share a common language much like that of the aforementioned dolphin, in that while it can be heard, it would be quite a challenge to transliterate.
Each planet one might say, represents a unique evolutionary stage of development. These lifeforms we call the planets have a harmonic relationship in this exchange of energy.
In their orbital paths in relation both to one another and all in relation to the sun, reflected energy in the form of light creates a dynamic symphony within a spectrum of living musical harmonics in this reciprocal dialog between them. Take a moment and let's overhear what they are conveying to one another courtesy of the NASA Inspire VLF receiver at Spaceweather.com before moving further and closer to the surface of our own planetary sphere.

http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/inspire.html

Then we have the dual sonic waveforms propagated as a visualisation in the language of the dolphins. Let's listen to this dialog as well and compare it to our earlier example in the interstellar VLF band.

http://www.dosits.org/gallery/marinemm/10.htm

One of the advantages of ultra-sonic sound, as opposed to the sound that we can hear - is that the tiny wavelengths of these high frequencies can penetrate into and reflect off of the smallest crevice and contour, echoing a sound profile of minute detail. These sounds can even be used to probe soft tissues, reflecting the differences between bone, flesh and blood. Our physicians use this feature to gently explore the contents of a mother's womb to determine the health and identity of her child.
Dr John Lilly studied dolphins to determine how they communicated the structure of their complex community to each other -how they were able to coordinate advanced hunting and play strategies, often a high speeds He spent 18 years performing repetitive routines with them; recording all of their sounds in an attempt to learn their vocabulary. Not once in that time did they repeat a sound phrase at least a phrase they were not asked to repeat. In other words, if you are transmitting images in real time they would not be repeated as there is no requirement to "spell out,"as in this side scan sonar image.

We know now that not all communication requires a symbolic vocabulary - that many deeper messages are embedded in the tone of a voice or the turn of a phrase. But the degree of accuracy conveyed in dolphin communication indicates the possibility of an astounding form of communication - communication through sonic holograms. Another advantage is the astonishing speed this modality demonstrates when we compare it to the written or spoken word. Consider the range that they are capable of communicating these images within and it makes remote viewing look like a near sighted gypsy reading tea leaves. Now we have to take into account memory, in other words, if you know the sound signature of an stereotyped image and transmit this image, you may find what Ms.Hawkins has discovered.

"Liz Hawkins, of the Whale Research Centre in Australia, spent three years listening to bottlenose dolphins living off the west coast of the country and recorded a total of 1,647 whistles from 51 different pods of dolphins. From the starting frequency of the sound, its duration and its end frequency, she identified 186 different whistle types, of which 20 were particularly common.She told New Scientist: "This communication is highly complex, and it is contextual, so in a sense it could be termed a language."
-London Daily Telegraph "Scientists Identify The Language of Dolphins"

We also know through the study of cymatics, the energy we cannot hear from a sensate platform can be translated into visual images as Galileo discovered; "As I was scraping a brass plate with a sharp iron chisel in order to remove some spots from it and was running the chisel rather rapidly over it, I once or twice, during many strokes, heard the plate emit a rather strong and clear whistling sound: on looking at the plate more carefully, I noticed a long row of fine streaks parallel and equidistant from one another. Scraping with the chisel over and over again, I noticed that it was only when the plate emitted this hissing noise that any marks were left upon it; when the scraping was not accompanied by this sibilant note there was not the least trace of such marks."
Here is a cymatic "alphabet" that can be arranged using letters that are in essence, energy.

We return once more to the images in the report of the good ship MS Dione and consider them perhaps in a different light.

If we look at a cymatic effect, the results are striking, even in a coffee cup.

Then again, when we look at the transliteration of energy=sound=image as in the aforementioned example of dolphin language, we seem to have the possibility of a commonality lurking in the background of a potential for interspecies communication, which the late Dr Gerald Hawkins made the focus of his studies using the mathematics of the Diatonic Scale of sound. In simpler terms we are in another related modality, sound as music as a visual image.

Diatonic Scale-In music theory, a diatonic scale (from the Greek διατονικος, meaning "[progressing] through tones", also known as the heptatonia prima and set form 7-35) is a seven-note musical scale comprising five whole-tone and two half-tone steps, in which the half-steps are maximally separated. Thus between each of the two half-steps lie either two or three whole-steps, with the pattern repeating at the octave. The term diatonic originally referred to the diatonic genus, one of the three genera of the ancient Greeks.
-Wikipedia

And pray tell, what on earth is the three genera? It is a spectrum of energy.
Those various divisions are what determine the different genera (plural of genus - the actual Greek word is genos, but commentators writing in English generally use the Latin form). There were 3 basic genera: Diatonic (= 'thru tones'), Chromatic (= 'colored' or 'thru the shades'), and Enharmonic (= 'properly attuned').

So if energy translated in the language of sound create a three dimensional images in this phenomenon occurring in dolphins, as theorised by Dr Lilly, can we see it demonstrated to us directly rather than through the conceptual language of the written word? Whether we communicate through atmosphere or water, there is one universal tongue....the image.

What is also interesting to turn over in our minds, is the relationship between biological evolution and the parallel path of evolving technology as an extension of the senses by which each species communicate to one another either in close range or at a distance. More specifically,in relation to this concept,are the interesting long human pathways of translation as compared to the dolphin, some of which are extremely subtle.

Human Path:
1 and 2. You want to communicate. Now before you even derive words to arrange your composition internally, Kirshnamurti made some compelling arguments that awareness or more accurately consciousness precedes the translation to thought so there may be two steps prior to the initiation of communication.
3. You convert thought to the movement of atmosphere through your lungs and tongue.
4. Intonation that we could consider as a carrier wave. It isnt what you say its how you say it. This in of itself is music. I don't suggest this experiment with your significant other. Try listening to a conversation in musical terms. Don't listen to words alone. After awhile you will pick up on unintended communication as to a state, IE: Low modulation=low energy, etc.
5. Our vibratory pitches and modulation is converted to an electrical matrix as in a cell phone.
6. This is then transmitted by microwave.
7. The microwave transmission is received andrelayed and then returned to electrical impulses.
8. The electrical impulse is converted to the appropriate range to move an atmosphere.
9. This sensory imput is received by the ear and from the ear to the brain.
10. The mind translates the sounds into a common language as well as notes the modality.

We have not yet even begun to explore the differences in communication that are divided between knowledge and a state of being. Ideally these should match but in reality, it largely does not. I cannot not provide you with my experience, or a state of being, which places value and effective behavior into interpretation of this mix. Neither can you for me directly, in terms of constructing an effective and immediate efficency of terms. To put it simply, knowledge is knowledge. If there is no match between players, then this also has to be translated.
Now consider that there are 6,700 differing spoken languages that are utilised on our planet.
The old "Take me to your leader" routine is reductionism at it's finest
form...surrealism.

What if we "spoke" in images? When one considers the long evolutionary path of the dolphin to our own comparatively brief term, perhaps we should now consider telepathy in a new light, let alone the antedotal accounts of extraterrestrial creatures using this process exclusively. It is difficult to discern the difference between our stereotyped anticipation foisted as a projection upon experience and what actually occurs.

In the last of this series, we explore a evolutionary tale of the moon as it relates to our own, as well as what may lie below the ocean depths and how circumstances on the surface relate to one another in the use of sound as energy from bats to whales to human beings as some mammalian vertibrates go off into the sea by way of metamorphisis and some come out of it the same way. What if one went into the depths of the sea from long ago in an adaptation to a gravitational enviroment that was not condusive to their habitation? More fascinating impossibilities to consider..
For your consideration, I ask, is it possible that an immigration occured in the past of a species which communicates much like the dolphin and yet has limbs? Perhaps. What sort of a planet would this sentient creature originate from in terms of it's enviromental match to our oceans?

"`I ca'n't believe that!' said Alice. `Ca'n't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. `Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.' Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said `one ca'n't believe impossible things.' `I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Perhaps we will all meet again in the future, on the dark side of this looking glass. Bring along your ping pong paddle.

Part One: Cryptozoology And The USO

2008-01-02T16:09:00.000-08:00

In the last post, I explored the alternate definition in regard to the creation of mythology when the spoken word, memory and the transmission of concepts pre-dated the written word. To put it simply, sound and images were the medium of transmission.
I also used this opportunity to explore an an alternate view of the source and purpose of the UFO phenomenon. If you read the last post, then it should come as no great surprise that I dissent from the view that mythological archetypes such as Oannes, Nommo and the like were, in fact, extraterrestrials, or for that matter, actual living organisms. As I opined in that post and perhaps this one as well, nuance and the subtle have been sledge hammered out of our range of cognition.
However, it is not counterintuitive, at least to me, to consider that a form of speculative form of Cryptozoology might be an interesting subject for us to consider when meditating on the possible source of our USO phenomenon. One of the most entangling and confusing forms of reductionism is to look for a silver bullet, or unified field theory that fits all phenomenon. More often than not, while it is personally interesting to explore these theories, I certainly acknowledge by the necessity of self skepticism, they are speculative. I could fill an entire post with just a recounting of all the occasions I have used the words, 'possible", "may" or "could." I believe, if my memory serves me well, it was Greg Bishop who observed there are so many facets to the subject, the journey might be far more interesting than the final destination of proof..
As some already know, I personally consider this to be a very strong candidate for the aim or intent of this phenomenon. I have included a brief overview of the USO phenomenon simply because it has been so thoroughly covered elsewhere. At least, as to it's history and so forth. Also, I have been rightfully critiqued for making the critical assumption that everyone knows the background of the topic at hand, especially younger readers who have said as much.

An Unidentified Submerged Object, or USO, is defined as any object or optical or mechanical detection phenomenon of unknown origin observed within water that remains unidentified even after thorough investigation. The maritime analog to a UFO, or unidentified flying object, unidentified submerged objects are often seen by those who study unidentified flying objects as a phenomenon the same as or similar, but encountered in water instead of atmosphere.
-Wikipedia

An Unexplored Territory
More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean, but to date, we've explored less than 5 percent of it.Geophysicist Walter Smith, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry clarified the situation that 90% of the ocean floor is unmapped; "If you make an estimate using all the historical data in a place like South Pacific, and compare it to the United States at the same scale, it looks a bit like the interstate highway system," he explained. "It's like sending surveyors out and saying that every few miles they can measure the height of the ground, but [they can] never leave the interstate highway system—then asking them to come back and make a map showing all the geographic features of the United States."
The USS San Fransisco came upon this fact when it collided with an uncharted sea mount, at least that was the conclusion offered in the official investigation.
"The findings of fact show that San Francisco, while transiting at flank (maximum) speed and submerged to 525 feet, hit a seamount that did not appear on the chart being used for navigation," the 124-page report said of the incident in the vicinity of the Caroline Islands.

The Unknown Sounds of NOAA

Unidentified sounds stream through the darkness of the ocean depths. According to NOAA, one sound was heard only once, never to be captured again. The University of Washington used to post the Mystery Sonogram of the Month The anomalous sounds recorded by NOAA are nicknamed Bloop, Slow Down, Julia, Train, Whistle and Upsweep. You can sample these using the NOAA link below:

The Unknown Undersea Lights of Physics

Many UFO investigators are unaware that material physicists have come up with no less than than the sum total of these theories, which have explained to no one's satisfaction as to what causes this phenomenon.

This observation, which was prepared by the witnesses took place on 5 November 1978 at 00:05 hours, local time on board (4 November 1978, 21:35 GMT)on board the MS Dione. The phenomenon took place in about 15 minutes, after which the wheels and spokes disappeared slowly. Note the scale of the hull outline to the diameter of the light observed. What is interesting in these reports brings to mind use of a sonic detection with may cause such an pattern effect on the bio-illuminating lifeforms present in the sea. According to published reports, these were not seen until the passing of wood vessels and the introduction of metal hulls. Were the wooden hulls a factor as they were not detected?

Chasing Unknown Sonar Targets

A certain Naval officer apparently grew tired of the endless reports of unsucessful and prolonged chases of unidentified targets off the U.S coast.

``Whereas, the presence of unidentified submarines in the approaches to the United States has been frequently reported, and
``Whereas, the submarines have been uncooperative in declaring either their identity or their intent as is required by the customs and usages of honorable seamen, and
``Whereas, tangible evidence that these surreptitious operations are being conducted would result in appropriate embarrassment to those involved
``Therefore, I do hereby pledge to donate one case of Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Brand of Quality Tennessee Sour Mash Corn Whiskey, made as our fathers made it for seven generations at the oldest registered whiskey distillery in the United States, established 1866, to the first Scene of Action Commander in the Atlantic who produces evidence that a non U.S. or known friendly submarine has been worn out.''

"A Longtime friend and coworker of mine at Boston's Museum of Science is Valerie Wilcox of Aubarndale, Massachusetts. During a telephone conversation with me on July 27, 1984, Val commented that an English acquaintance recently mentioned a UFO experience that he had while he was in the Royal Navy. He told her he was present when an unidentified target was picked up on his ship's radar and then tracked by sonar after it entered the water! Part of the log referring to this event was alleged to have been confiscated. Val offered to have us both come to dinner some evening in late August or early September so that I could question the individual about his experience..."

Acoustic Visualisation In Intraspecies Communication

Within the relationships between the possibility of extraterrestrial sentient species, ourselves, and ufology in general is the presumption of communication being possible as well as potentially being a challenge. many have discussed the phenomenon which may occur or perhaps is occurring now, in a situation wherein we are talking past one another. Or, one is speaking and the other has an organic inability to comprehend,let alone recognise that this communication is being presented either directly or indirectly to them.

One of the biggest hurdles in acknowledging this potential pitfall is the close minded methodology of traditional science which, for the most part has tied its hands behind its back while putting the cart of proof before the horse.

"Nature became identified with matter and its movement, whereas mind, believing, suffering, perceiving, but not interfering, was conceived as existing apart from the external nature that it observed, described, and measured. Yet to the extent that mind is in nature, it is a product of nature. Mind is a quality proceeding from living organisms, and organisms are regarded by mechanist science as arising from the blind interactions of undirected matter; both life and mind become in this view simply the outcome of the random interactions of matter over a vast scale of time. Any apparent meaning to this process, any type of evolutionary advancement or value or purpose, is simply a projection of the observer; in itself, nature is intrinsically blind, without purpose, meaning, or value. This was the philosophical paradox that modern science, based on inductive abstraction, led itself into: confronted with a universe both lifeless and devoid of mind, how to explain the apparent intelligibility of nature and the fact of living organisms."

-Terrence McKenna The Invisible Landscape

For your consideration, there is also in this, a darkness in the pride that often lies side by side with ignorance. What if the intelligent species we came upon had no natural defense against our own animal instincts of exploitation, harvesting, and extermination?
What makes the consideration of this possibilty a judgement we make upon ourselves, is that unlike other species less so empowered; there we have a choice in this.
Is what we fear in alien contact, a form of perverse recognition of what we are?
Are the chilling experiences of abductions a mirror of our own controlling and exploitive behavior? Do as I say. As I have said before, it was if a unrecognised force of nature was taking possession of our free will and then stepping back and saying..well...how do you like it when the shoe is on the other foot? The clinical clean room setting..the blind drones...the sociopathic assurances...the physical and psychic violation of others..then to be discarded like a piece of senseless meat alongside of the road.We would prefer all of this to go away so we can pretend this is not so. You think what you want, as for me.....Message received, loud and clear. Perhaps God is listening to the silent prayers of many...please, don't let them capture our mysterious ape fellow, who avoids us like the plague. Gosh, Why do the aliens not land?

"These experiences illustrate the thesis that one can protect one's self by maintaining one's ignorance by belittling disturbing experiences? Or one can newly recapture sensitivity and be openminded (even painfully so) and discover new facts. Discovery, in my experience, requires disillusionment first, as well as later. One must be shaken in one's basic beliefs before the discovery can penetrate one's mind sufficiently above threshold to be detected A certain willingness to face censure, to be a maverick? To question one's beliefs, to revise them, is obviously necessary. But what is not obvious is how to prepare one's own mind to receive the transmissions from the far side of the protective transparent wall separating each of us from the dark gulf of the unknown Maybe we must realize that we are still babies in the universe taking steps never before taken. Sometimes we reach out from our aloneness for someone else who may or may not exist. But at least we reach out, and it is gratifying to see our dolphins reach also, however primitively. They reach toward those of us who are willing to reach toward them."

There are rare exceptions to this reign of "mental illness" wherein 'nature is intrinsically blind, without purpose, meaning, or value', in fact, there have been several scientists, which to my despair, have passed away leaving us stranded, feeling, as the also departed Loren Eisley observed; "Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war."
One who comes to mind is Gerald Hawkins, who, after studying crop circles as a mathematical model of communication, observed, "Natural science processes, left to their own devices, like whirlwinds, rutting hedgehogs, and bacteria have no relationship to the diatonic ratios. They (the diatonic ratios) are human-invented. They are the human response to sound. The only place I can find diatonic ratios in nature are bird calls and the song of the whale. I don’t think the birds made the circles, nor did the whales."
John Lilly took the challenge of interspecies communication seriously. Should there be sentient life other than ourselves either in the dust of stars or deep within the oceanic world, his work, regardless of whether this be true or not, has value. To those of us who look to the vast and seemingly improbable distances between ourselves and some faint glimmer of hope we may learn form a more intelligent species, Dr Lilly observed; "They (cetaceans) have been on the planet now with brains our size or larger for 25 million years. We've only been here with our present brain size about two-tenths of a million years. So they've been here something on the order of 25 to 50 to 100 times the length of time we have. I'd just like to talk to such ancient beings..."
Typically, when we hear of evidential episodes wherein dolphins among themselves are able to communicate information we naturally make the hasty assumption based on our own biology is that the modality of language is verbal rather than imagery as we are biased toward the familar.
"With proper techniques (hypnosis, drugs, etc.) we can program or compute an "acoustic space" into the "visual space."-JL
Think of two channels akin to stereophonic sound.One is speak-see image and the other is speak-transmit image. "The dolphin receives almost as much information through his ear as we do from our eye. ... The two phonation apparatuses can be linked one to the other to give "stereo phonation." ...We have found that the dolphin has a third emitter, especially constructed for the production of his ultrasonic beam." -JL
Interestingly, it has been discovered recently that one of our own sensory organs evolved from an earlier, but as yet unclear divergence of a common mechcanism of sensory sound which are still present in the structure evidenced in the gills of fish.

In the next post, we will take these evolutionary commonalities and genetic similiarities further, while exploring other evolutionary possibilities.

In Search of The Golden Fleece

2007-12-30T08:29:00.000-08:00

"Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well."
-Lewis Carroll

Last night I read one of my son's books, "The Pali Cannon", which is the sole remaining vebatim account of Bhudda's dialogs. I was struck by the central theme of our natural, organic state of addiction. I looked back toward my own interests in ufology. Have we been led by our noses? If so, have we been provided a suitable labyrinth to compulsively explore, which, at it's epicenter, we are found to be straw men who are puppets? If so, we see the strings, we see the artifice...is this a phenomenon a collaboration of addictive tendencies and the object of our desire?

We stand before a portal to enter a potentiality of meaning with innumerable doors.We have the residue of inclinations, bias and values in hand as we prepare to enter.Between the image in the mirror and the point of observation is the location of this portal. Between the heavens and the earth is a portal as well. We wander as we gather. Our collection of sticks and brush... of antedote, rumor and conjecture and build a fire which burns until the flames consume the fuel...once extinquished, our nomadic quest begins anew in the cycle of dreams.

"...But my livliest interest is not so much in things, as in the relations of things. I have spend much time thinking about the alleged pseudo-relations that are called coincidences.What if some of them should not be coincidences?" Charles Fort (1874-1932) in: Wild Talents

"At first there was a deep silence, not only within the shadow of the Talking Oak, but all through the solitary wood. In a moment or two, however, the leaves of the oak began to stir and rustle, as if a gentle breeze were wandering amongst them, although the other trees of the wood were perfectly still. The sound grew louder, and became like the roar of a high wind. By and by, Jason imagined that he could distinguish words, but very confusedly, because each separate leaf of the tree seemed to be a tongue, and the whole myriad of tongues were babbling at once. But the noise waxed broader and deeper, until it resembled a tornado sweeping through the oak, and making one great utterance out of the thousand and thousand of little murmurs which each leafy tongue had caused by its rustling. And now, though it still had the tone of a mighty wind roaring among the branches, it was also like a deep bass voice, speaking as distinctly as a tree could be expected to speak, the following words: "Go to Argus, the shipbuilder, and bid him build a galley with fifty oars."
-Nathaniel Hawthorne from The Tanglewood Tales
(

In my last post, I posited that since all theories regarding the UFO phenomenon are based on critical assumptions, it seems reasonable to explore the lesser known pathways toward our goal which could be stated as own variant of the Golden Fleece.

In other words, we seek in this journey what are and what is the purpose, if any, of this enigma, as well as the enigma of ourselves. One of these lies at the conjunction of mythology and our current state of affairs. What has been inserted onto our field of vision is perhaps, a challenge, a provocaion and a ritualised initiation toward the nature of both ourselves and the reality we inhabit but fail to
comprehend.

"It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human nature, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow." - Werner Heisenberg

I suggested that the manufacturing of a new mythology within ourselves, could be one such purpose, to re-enchant an overly empirical and gross psychology which discounts the subtle at it's own peril. A direct question concerning the purpose of UFOs was posed to a Sufi Sheik whom I deeply respect.
He said simply; "To produce wonder."

One of the first books on mythology I read was "The White Goddess" by Robert Graves which requires a reading of The Golden Bough before attempting to digest the former. This was a book which described in great detail, the symbolic and hidden language of the trees alluded to in the quoted story by Hawthorne. I was somewhat surprised as to the origin of this highly detailed and complex book as it apparently arrived to Graves in a series of poetic visions.

Anyone familiar with the connection between poetry, myth and the esoteric realises there is a profound envelopment between the three whether on a intuitive basis or based upon what we would consider as paranormal experiences. The Sufi Saint Rumi used poetry to a great extent to describe certain truths, where as we noted in the last post, both ufology and physics seem to be artificially constricted in language,as Heisenburg observed,we suddenly found our efforts "get hung by language," which poetry tends to sidestep and transcend. All of which brings us back to myth, which, often is encapsulated in poetry.

Then again, in Christian mythology, returning to the metaphor of the tree, there is one singular example any young Bible student would imediately recognise.

"Ouspensky records a conversation in St. Petersburg during the summer of 1916 in which Gurdjieff discussed the problem of communication, and the impossibility of conveying in our ordinary language ideas which are intelligible and obvious only for a higher state of consciousness. Speaking of the unity between man, the Universe, and God, he said that the objective knowledge by which alone this unity is to be understood can never be expressed in words or logical forms. At this point, Gurdjieff made a statement which is a key to the understanding of his own subsequent writings. He said: Realising the imperfection and weakness of ordinary language, the people who have possessed objective knowledge have tried to express the idea of unity in ‘myths,’ in ‘symbols,’ and in particular ‘verbal formulas,’ which, having been transmitted without alteration, have carried on the idea from one school to another, often from one epoch to another. In All and Everything Gurdjieff makes extensive use of these three forms, that is, symbol, myth, and verbal formula. There is no need in these mathematical days to defend the use of symbolism. It is regarded by many schools of modern thought as the only safe form of language. Wittgenstein treats symbols as something more than conventional signs, and regards them as corresponding in some way to the reality to which they refer. He would probably accept Gurdjieff’s dictum that: symbols not only transmit knowledge but show the way to it. Even though other thinkers deny any objective reference to symbols, no one questions that symbolism has a power beyond that of ordinary language. It is different with the language of myth. This is despised by superficial thinkers, but the greatest philosophers have known its value. Whitehead wrote: The father of European philosophy, in one of his many moods of thought, laid down the axiom that the deeper truths must be adumbrated by myths. Surely the subsequent history of Western thought has amply justified his fleeting intuition."
-JG Bennett

"This word Legominism", replied Beelzebub, "is given to one of the means existing there of transmitting from generation to generation information about certain events of long-past ages, through just those three-brained beings who are thought worthy to be and who are called initiates. This means of transmitting information from generation to generation had been devised by the beings of the continent Atlantis. For your better understanding of the said means of transmitting information to beings of succeeding generations by means of a Legominism, I must here explain to you a little also about those beings there whom other beings called and call initiates. Well then, my boy, Legominism is the name given to the successive transmission of information about long-past events which have occurred on the planet Earth from initiates to initiates of the first kind, that is from really meritorious beings, who have themselves received their information from similar meritorious beings..."
-All and Everything

Variously known as Palaephatus the Egyptian, Palaephatus of Athens and Palaephatus of Paros is a individual who appears to have successfuly confounded history, as apoet much akin to the aforementioned Robert Graves, views myth from a decidedly Fortean perspective around the 4th Century BC.

In the short preface of his treatise Concerning Incredible Tales, he remarks," that some men, from want of instruction, believe all the current narratives; while others, more searching and cautious, disbelieve them altogether. Each of these extremes he is anxious to avoid: on the one hand, he thinks that no narrative could ever have acquired credence unless it had been founded in truth; on the other, it is impossible for him to accept so much of the existing narratives as conflicts with the analogies of present natural phenomena. If such things ever had been, they would still continue to be--but they never have so occurred; and the extra-analogical features of the stories are to be ascribed to the licence of the poets. Palaephatus wishes to adopt a middle course, neither accepting all nor rejecting all; accordingly, he had taken great pains to separate the true from the false in many of the narratives; he had visited the locali?ties wherein they had taken place, and made careful inquiries from old men and others. The results of his researches are presented in a new version of fifty legends."

Hopefully having provided an alternate view differing much from the popular view of myth, as a background to the subject of my last post which was the remarkable mythology of The Fifty, which has a central theme of fifty individuals being tied to a larger body.

Any one who has read Robert Temples book on allegedly arcane extraterrestrial visitation, The Sirius Mystery, all of this will sound familiar. We now return to look at ufology once again in this light. The connection between the Greeks of The Fifty Argonauts and the Dogon mythology is very provocative.

"Ethnologists say the Dogons are the cultural and biological descendents of 'ancient Greeks' from the Isle of Lemnos in the Aegean Sea....The Lemnians themselves claimed descent from the fifty Argonauts of Jason in Greek legend who, according to the legend, went to Libya, migrated westward as the Garamantians, were driven south and eventually reached the River Niger in Mali after many centuries to interbreed with the natives and teach them."
http://www.geocities.com/SATANICREDS/sirius.html

"Several specialists now claim they have found the long-sought "final evidence" of visits made to earth by ancient astronauts. The myths of the Dogon tribesmen of Mall, West Africa, contain astronomical knowledge which the native people could have neither learned by themselves nor guessed. Obviously, the researchers say, some more advanced civilization told them. These fascinating Dogon legends speak of Jupiter's four moons and Saturn's rings, which were not seen by human beings until the invention of the telescope. They speak of the star Sirius and of a pair of invisible companions. One of them circles Sirius every fifty years, the legends declare, and is made of a metal that is the heaviest thing in the universe. Astronomers have discovered that such an object (called "Sirius-B") does exist but only the most sophisticated and sensitive instruments -- unavailable, of course, to the Dogons -- can detect it." from The Sirius Mystery, by James Oberg

Prior to reading this book, I had been struck by a cryptic comment made by Gurdjieff in which he stated that fifty fully conscious individuals could exert an influence among their fellow man. Where did I come upon this number before?

"And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
-The Bible

"The fifty youths shouted back, "We, too, are human beings. We have come out of the earth. But what are you yelling about?"
The maidens replied, "We, too, are human beings and we, too, have come out of the earth. We shouted and asked the moon and the stars who had made them or if they had made everything else."
-Kabyl Creation Myth

"Marduk - son of Ea and Dumkina. He supplants the other Babylonian deities to become the central figure of their pantheon. He is a "King of the Igigi" He often works with and asks questions of his father. He has fifty names many of which are those of other deities whose attributes he usurped. He was of proud form and piercing stare, born mature, powerful, and perfect and superior. He has four eyes, four ears, and emits fire from his mouth when he speaks. He is also gifted in magic."
-Babylonian Myth

"Briareos and his brothers have fifty heads and fifty arms sprouting from their massive shoulders.The Immortals use the name Briareos to name him but mere mortals call him Aigaios’ son.When Briareos and his brothers were in the womb of Gaia, Ouranos would not let them be born; when they attempted to come out, Ouranos would push them back inside; it wasn’t until the Titan, Kronos (Cronos), attacked and wounded his father, Ouranos, that the brothers were allowed to be free; Gaia made a sickle of flint and begged for one of her Titan children to attack Ouranos but only Kronos came to her aid; Kronos laid in ambush for his father and struck him down with the flint sickle; the three fifty-headed brothers were allowed to escape Gaia’s womb and the blood of Ouranos created the Furies, the Giants, the Nymphs of the Ash Trees..."

"Danaus had fifty daughters and his brother Aegyptus had fifty sons. A match between their daughter was proposed by Aegyptus, but Danaus was unwilling. He and his fifty daughters fled to Argos"
-Greek Mythology

Gurdjieff was unusually precise and to write off this statement as an ad-lib was beyond consideration. When I read Mr Temple's book, here was that number again. Not only was a supposedly advanced source of knowledge experienced by these tribesmen, but having been familiar with the aforementioned aspects of myth.

"You are standing on a sea shore and waves wash up an old hat, an old box, a shoe, a dead fish and they lie on the shore. You say; 'Chance; nonsense!" The Chinese mind asks "What does it mean that these things come together?"
-Carl Jung

I began to research this from an unusual angle. What if these individuals were mistaken for extraterrestrials and were in fact, a most secretive group who were most certainly advanced but were in fact, among us and unrecognised?

At the nexus of transition between the knowledge of the sensate, living human species and that of the transcended dead is an organisation of fifty individuals who guard the sanctity of the secrets within this portal in the emblematic form of Cerberus, emblematic of a living manifestation of a veil.

"Cerberus who eats raw flesh, the brazen-voiced hound of Hades, fifty-headed, rentless, the strong..."
Theogony of Hesiod

We would be remiss not to recall the young Hermes having stolen fifty of Apollo's cattle nor the fifty Daughters of Nereus, the son of the sea and the earth.

The myth of Demigods, the fifty Argonauts began as Jason assembled many noble men from Hellas, and with the help of one Argus, some say son of Phrixus 1, a ship of fifty oars called "Argo" was built. At its prow, a speaking timber from the oak of Dodona was fitted, following the instructions of Athena. It is said that when the ship was launched into the sea, it appeared among the stars from rudder Jason sent his invitation to all the adventurous young men of Greece, and soon found himself at the head of a band of bold youths, many of whom afterwards were renowned among the heroes and demigods of Greece. Hercules, Theseus, Orpheus, and Nestor were among them. They are called the Argonauts, from the name of their vessel.

We now go back to our aforementioned and mysterious Fortean friend, Palaephatus the Egyptian, who relates in his poem that the Golden Fleece was a book of alchemy.
In the entangled shards of prehistory, there is yet much to be uncovered despite the ill founded and premature consensus on certain topics.

Perhaps, in the next post, we will explore from a historical background, the adventurers and explorers in this largely hidden, global quest for the Inner Circle, Directorate or Poles as this group has variously been named.

We may not find our Golden Fleece, however we will meet those remarkable and fascinating individuals who devoted their entire lives in this heroic quest whether in the high mountain passes, the ruins of past civilisations or in the midst of a bustling urban landscape, unnoticed and as the Sufi would say, have become "passers-by" to the dreamscape which swirls about them in the crowds and errands of abstraction.

"Similarly, a dream contains no tenses. Time is telescoped, and representations of past events in real or distorted forms may have the present as their referent---or vise versa. Th patterns of dream are timeless."
-Gregory Bateson

Each one is encapsulated in a dream within a dream and yet, among them..a watcher alert, possessing the power of both influence and suggestion may shadow them unawares..and if recognising the enormous potential these cross streams may yet represent, bides his time. One can hardly imagine a life which encompasses more than one thousand years..the more the view changes, the more it remains the same...as unimaginable as other phenomenon we critically assume as beyond our grasp. What in effect or whom we search for is the possessor of a Golden Fleece in our cautious and tenitive steps through the looking glass...whether it is poised midway between the heavens and the earth or is among us, unnoticed and subtle.

Is this the face of Chrysomallos? The Ram also may be linked in another manner to the Dogon.

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sitchin/whentimebegan/whentimebegan12.htm

Generations arrive and depart, as do the civilisations which contained them in their quest. Roswell fades in the distance while Kecksburg looms in our rear view mirror. One can reasonably assume this too shall pass. We have become innoculated against the slings and arrows of transcendent shocks across the bow of time. Perhaps this provides ample evidence of a descent into a state of entropy attested to by our inattention and distracted cognition.

At one time an airline pilot reporting a close encounter or astronauts admitting they were followed to the moon would have raised the pitch of public alarm.
This observation begs yet another question...is this phase drawing to a close and another about to appear? Has this phenomenon about to change it's manner of manifestation? These now routine reports of unidentified objects come and go, only to fade from view in a short space of time.

We are no closer than we were forty years ago...as to the origin of this intrusion upon our material physics within a empirical worldview. Amidst this, the farmer plows his field, the cab driver collects his fare in the volition of dreams held in the eternal clasp of a certainty that possesses feet of clay. The lure, the desire and addictive dreamscapes....

"From the point of view of a man alienated from his source, creation arises from despair and ends in failure. But such a man has not trodden the path to the end of time, the end of space, the end of darkness and the end of light. He does not know that where it all ends, there it all begins.
-RD Laing

'"The clown (the Trickster) reminds us of the irrational within our universe ... and the futility of our quest for certainty, control and absolute power." Peat feels that Western science has its own Tricksters: he cites entropy or disorder: "If we insist upon general order, it can only be done at the expense of creating disorder somewhere else." Alongside scientific developments such as quantum physics and chaos, the concept of entropy in thermodynamics highlights the underlying flux of nature: the universe is not a clockwork mechanism and a quantity of discrete objects, but a set of interacting processes and relational fields."
-from a review of F David Peat's Blackfoot Physics: A Journey into the Native American Universe

As a symbolist, as I view the world through a sensate lense that considers that perhaps the human eye as an image is emblematic of our positional situation in that this window at it's epicenter is impenetrable, and in this sense represents a veil drawn upon what it is that we are, and is beyond locality or imagery, persona or conceptual model we vainly attempt to assign upon it. In my research upon the shelf of ufology, I find myself in a similar state of ambiguity.

At times, perhaps it is my own reductionist ploy to consider that if the aggragate connections to stimulus were to be severed and extinguished as my locus of contingent manifestation, as if awakening from a dream, removed from the input, associations and identifications.. removed from the volition of my composite identity, would I reconstitute reality as I had formulated it to be in yet another dream, or, shall I be reabsorbed as an incorporated portion of a much larger sentient creation which is the sum total of all points of observation of my fellow creatures...or, simply put, see all of these creations as simply representations of something yet beyond my grasp as I had in life itself? If representation in an image, a concept, a state is the mirror upon which I see myself, perhaps then, it should come as no great revelation that the unidentified objects poised between heaven and earth has the same attributes.

"Nothing is left to say except that which concerns the receiver, and the receiver does not become immanent except from the Most Holy Effusion. The totality of the order is from Him, the beginning of it and the end of it. The totality of the order (of being) returns to Him as it started from Him. And the order necessitates the polishing of the mirror of the universe, and Adam is the same as that polish of such a mirror and the spirit of such an image. The angels are certain of the powers of that image which is the image of the universe which in the terminology of certain people is meant to mean the Great Man. The angels are like certain spiritual and sensitive powers for it which were there at the emergence of mankind. Each of the powers (of the universe) is veiled by its own self and does not see anything superior to itself. And in these (in all the powers of the images of the universe) there is the belief of familiarity with all the high positions and elevated stations with God, since it is with Him from the Divine collectivity between that which refers from all this to the Divine Person and to the side of the Reality of Realities, and because in the total emergence of this its qualities have necessitated the Total Nature which encloses all the receptivities of the universe, high and low. And also in this he does not know this by way of reasonable intellect. This is from the science of comprehension. It cannot be except through Divine insight (kashf) from which he will know what the origin of the image of the universe, which is the receiver to his spirits, will be.
This which is mentioned above is called Man and Viceregent."
-Ibn al Arabi

As an image of ufology set before us in a relationship of process can certainly said to be in a flux of receptivity. If we deconstruct this process of relationship as it relates to the receptivity and metamorphisis of these unidentified objects, we arrive back to ourselves.

“The phenomenon presented by UFOs is far larger than current speculation about “aliens from space.” It raises questions about consciousness, about the nature of reality and about human history on the Earth. "
-Dr Jacques Vallee

True enough, however since we cannot open the door and enter within this wide spectrum of phantasms and enquire within as to why they have been placed within our field of vision, we are left to our own devices, which may be the actual purpose of these visions that are positioned between materiality and the intangible. Perhaps this state that they occupy is a symbolic representation which may be a lure for our desire to comprehend by our efforts, the sum of it's potential.

"What I am saying is that it is not so much what man is that counts as it is what he ventures to make of himself. To make the leap he must do more than disclose himself; he must risk a certain amount of confusion. Then, as soon as he does catch a glimpse of a different kind of life, he needs to find some way of overcoming the paralyzing moment of threat, for this is the instant when he wonders who he really is - whether he is what he just was or is what he is about to be. Adam must have experienced such a moment."
-George Kelly

The Emergence of Time and Myth

2007-12-27T09:48:00.000-08:00

"Most ingenious Theuth," said the god and king Thamus, "one man has the ability to beget arts, but the ability to judge of their usefulness or harmfulness to their users belongs to another; and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess. For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practise their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."
-Plato

The seasons of man to some is a science. We are referring to man's exoteric structure in the formation of paradigms, which, in turn manifest as civilisations.
Accordingly we are certainly, by any account, in an age of transition. According to the Hindu tradition of cosmology, we are now nearing the end of the Kali Yuga (the Age of Iron) which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles.

"Each Yuga is like the season of a super-cosmic year, even greater
than the cosmic year of the precession of the equinoxes. When the
Earth came into its current phase of manifestation and the first
Yuga began ('Satya' Yuga, meaning 'Purity') humanity was barely
removed from its original state of God-like innocence. This was
the original Golden Age. As time progressed the planet underwent
the influence of a negative descending spiral, and the quality of
life in each successive Yuga became further and further removed
from the knowledge of truth and natural Law (in other words,
'Reality'). In the second, Treta Yuga (Silver Age) spiritual
awareness decreased by one fourth and by the time of Dvapara Yuga
(Copper Age) negativity had a 50% holding. In the Kali Yuga the
vibration has become pretty murky and humanity is labouring
against heavy odds. Righteousness (right-use-ness) has diminished
to scant one fourth of its original strength. Throughout our
current history we have created and been assailed by all the evils
of Pandora's box. No wonder the human race is having such a
difficult time. But the turning point has now arrived, and the
dawn once more sheds its light on a confused and ignorant planet."
-Rene Guenon
G.I Gurdjieff also weighed in on this cycle, although he was rather more specific.

http://www.duversity.org/archives/solioonensius.html

For those of you unfamiliar with this Hindu system, what is interesting is the alchemical use of the qualities of metal to describe psychic states or if you will, more directly, consensus reality versus the inexhaustable potentiality sealed within us. This tension is self evident.

"For the vision that a being has of himself in himself is not the same as that which another reality procures for him, and which he uses for himself as a mirror: in this he manifests himself to his self in the form which results from the 'place' of the vision; this would not exist without the 'plane of reflection' and the ray which is reflected therein.
God first created the entire world as something amorphous and without grace,comparable to a mirror not yet polished but it is a rule in the Divine activity to prepare no 'place' without it receiving a Divine spirit as is explained by the blowing of the Divine spirit into Adam and this is none other (from a complementary point of view to the former), than the actualization of the aptitude which such a form possesses, having already the predisposition for it, to receive the inexhaustible effusion of the essential revelation"
-Ibn Al arabi

We then are, accordingly, in an age where the recognition of the subtle has gone out of the window, whether it is the rise of fundamentalism, popular culture or the political stategies of nation states...iron is a dense material and very difficult to work with, as it were.

Mythology-The word mythology[1] refers to a body of myths/stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use the supernatural to interpret natural events and to explain the nature of the universe and humanity. Mythology also refers to the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths, also known as mythography.

"How did structures appear that weren't there before? Neither Platonists nor Aristotelians had any problem with this question. The Platonists said that the form comes from the Platonic archetype: if there is an oak tree, then there is an archetypal form of an oak tree, and all actual oak trees are simply reflections of this archetype. Since this archetype is beyond space and time, there is no need to have it embedded in the physical form of the acorn. The Aristotelians said that every species has its own kind of soul, and the soul is the form of the body. The body is in the soul, not the soul in the body. The soul is the form of the body and is around the body and contains the goal of development (which is formally called entelechy). An oak tree soul contains the eventual oak tree."
-Rupert Sheldrake

One could consider the emergence of anomalous flying objects a projection, an emblematic symbol projected, from our limited understanding of time, backward from a point of origin, in terms of spacial relations, ahead of our own latitude and longitude and representing a subtle influence, creating what we could term a living mythology.
This emblem changes, but whatever image wobbles, transforms and provokes us seems to have only one common denominator...what we call a "future." This is the symbolics of flying wings, airships, saucers and countless other manifestations.
Does the aim of mythology match the aim of our flying objects? And perhaps more subtle than any association we can conjure on a gross level like time machines, perhaps we are dealing with a future defined on a comparable basis with our state of evolution, or a future state both evolutionary, and accelerated beyond our own in terms of both being and knowledge.
This raises an interesting possibility entirely overlooked, perhaps some of our species has evolved quite beyond our current state. Not that they look any different from us but in certain aspects, they may have an entirely different set of gifts as well as perspectives from our own. While this is a possibility, in this business, it is never safe to assume anything.

Another aspect of this mythology which is it's most important attribute for our purpose, is that it integrates the natural and supernatural in a cohesive theology for absorption within the unofficial sphere of popular culture. Considering this, perhaps the paranormal aspect of this phenomenon which has been the revisiting of our place within the larger sphere of the universe as well as hypothetical intent and culture of an extraterrestrial race, could be the churning locus of it's purpose.
If so, it has certainly succeeded beyond anyone's expectation if you had considered this possibility prior to it's advent. It has bypassed every cultural institution from religion to science without so much as one faint acknowledgement from them. Quite a accomplishment in an unprecedented era of material, empirical science.
Another defacto and indirect conclusion one can easily reach is that the jar which contains the most fundamental answers to our most important questions is not only empty but the roaring silence of meaning, value, sacredness and purpose is overly ripe for revision as well as reconstitution.

"Once we see that this is so, we begin to think of what can come in from another source than our own culture. There is a whole branch of interest in the world now concerning aliens, including alien abductions, which started from the early days of UFO sightings and so on. Another branch focuses on angels, and you have the channelers and all those people. And there is the third kind that's to do with secrets hidden in monasteries, or ancient manuscripts. They are all realizing in their own particular way the same basic principle that, in order to get the 'oomph' to make a step in yourself, to break free of this cycle of conditioning in your culture, you need an input from outside the culture of a different order. Without that it is unlikely, though not impossible, that the step is made."

If as I suspect, a new mythology or even perhaps new paradigms are the intentional product of a very astute and extremely knowledgable source, they are also profoundly aware of our species psychology. Consider this as well... the insertion of mythology as an embodiment of a transpersonal reality fit to human size also has a profound impact on effective behavior in a species. If you could ask any number of common folk among the Greek, Egyptian or Roman civilisations...their testimony might surprise us.

"The first function of mythology is to waken and maintain in the individual a sense of wonder and participation in the mystery of this finally inscrutable universe..." The second function....is to fill every particle and quarter of the current cosmological image with its measure of this mystical import... a third function, no less important, is the sociological one of validating and maintaining whatever moral system and manner of life-customs may be peculiar to the local culture.... A fourth, and final essential function of mythologies is the pedagogical one of conducting individuals in harmony through the passages of human life...".
-Joesph Cambell

So is this a projection flowing whose images are flowing in reverse, a influencing factor perhaps laying the preparatory groundwork for the emergence of a new mythology whose meaning and interpenetration into our "holons" of cultural values is a work in progress?

If you are unfamiliar with the term holon, I suggest that it will be well worth your effort if you are interested in the topic at hand.... use this link;

http://www.integralworld.net/index.html?edwards13.html

One could consider the various sociological manifestations as reactions to this phenomenon already, as seen in the light of day, perhaps myths are already among us. The myth of The Grey (Exploitation), the myth of Invasion (War), the myth of Planetary Saviors(Nature)...all of which are conceptualisations of what Campell referred to as "the sociological one of validating and maintaining whatever moral system and manner of life-customs may be peculiar to the local culture.... " The value of some pre-existing myths have been enhanced such as the Trickster and perhaps Hermes as well. Another deconstructive revision underway is the mythology of institutions such as democracy, freedom of information as well as the myth of the omnipotent capability of nation states to either defend or comprehend the nature of this phenomenon.

Consider with me that perhaps this process of emerging conceptual mythologies created by this induction of phenomenon could also be the point of the exercise in a extremely subtle psychological dynamic, either to test the water, to conduct a ongoing statistical evaluation, to conduct an alchemical influence upon the subconscious...the list goes on...does it not? Perhaps there is no direct empirical purpose to this phenomenon as we currently recognise, or identify or associate with it. The insertion by demonstration of a transcendant of a phenomenon that expands the potentiality of possibility is perhaps a tact.
"Tremendous energy is locked up in these old programs or what Jung called "autonomous complexes." You can release this energy if you get enough distance from your emotional involvement in the programs..."
-John C Lilly
One interesting aspect in all this is that this phenomenon has also escaped the boundaries of language much like quantum mechcanics as in that situation, we find a situation of a phenomenon that suddenly hits the wall of conceptual modeling as encapsulated or frozen in language at 200 miles an hour. Perhaps another possibility is the fragmentation and dissolution of conceptual modeling in terms of language, perhaps in the manner Dr Lilly observed. Interestingly, physics at the same time was experiencing this same phenomenon of entrapment.

"I will say that for us, that is for Bohr and myself, the most important step was to see that our language is not sufficient to describe the situation. A word such as path is quite understandable in the ordinary realm of physics when we are dealing with stones, or grass, etc., but it is not really understandable when it has to do with electrons. In a cloud chamber, for instance, what we see is not the path of an electron, but, if we are quite honest, only a sequence of water droplets in the chamber. Of course we like to interpret this sequence as a path of the electron, but this interpretation is only possible with restricted use of such words as position and velocity. So the decisive step was to see that all those words we used in classical physics - position, velocity, energy, temperature, etc. - have only a limited range of applicability.
The point is we are bound up with a language, we are hanging in the language. If we want to do physics, we must describe our experiments and the results to other physicists, so that they can be verified or checked by others. At the same time, we know that the words we use to describe the experiments have only a limited range of applicability. That is a fundamental paradox which we have to confront. We cannot avoid it; we have simply to cope with it, to find what is the best thing we can do about it..."
-Heisenburg

Could this phenomenon be a projected quantum manipulation akin to a Tulpa? One of many forgotten yet remarkable women who explored what we would call the paranormal was Alexandra David-Néel, who experienced this phenomenon first hand.

What is it? Simply put, it is also known as a thought form. According to Wikipedia, for those who are unfamiliar with this term; "Thoughtform may be understood as a 'psychospiritual' complex of energy or consciousness manifested either consciously or unconsciously, by an individual or a group. Thoughtform are understood differently and take on different forms in different traditions. ..."

David-Neel became so interested in the concept that she decided to try to create one.
The method involved was essentially intense concentration and visualization. "David-Neel's tulpa began its existence as a plump, benign little monk, similar to Friar Tuck. It was at first entirely subjective, but gradually, with practice, she was able to visualize the tulpa out there, like an imaginary ghost flitting about the real world. In time the vision grew in clarity and substance until it was indistinguishable from physical reality-a sort of self-induced hallucination. But the day came when the hallucination slipped from her conscious control. She discovered that the monk would appear from time to time when she had not willed it. Furthermore her friendly little figure was slimming down and taking on a distinctly sinister aspect. Eventually her companions, who where unaware of the mental disciplines she was practicing, began to ask about the "stranger" who had turned up in their camp-a clear indication that a creature which was no more that solidified imagination had definite objective reality. At this point, David-Neel decided things had gone too far and applied different lamaist techniques to reabsorb the creature into her own mind. The tulpa proved very unwillling to face destruction in this way so that the process took several weeks and left its creator exhausted."
-Excerpt from Body, Mind, Spirit

In Sufi literature, this phenomenon is also present in so many historical records of feats of apparent bilocality, of projecting thought etc, that one could write several volumes just on these events themselves. So we must ask ourselves once more that perhaps as the ufo phenomenon is certainly paranormal in the sense that it transcends our neat categorisation of material reality, are we being too hasty in making a critical assumption that these events have been prompted by another species who originate outside of the boundaries of our planetary sphere? An assumption is an assumption, nothing more or less substantial than again, a possibility which has nothing to do with the foibles of popular consensus, or for that matter, our inability to wrestle down a ghost.

More interesting than these accounts of what could be termed quantum phenomenon before quantum theory was "discovered" by traditional science, is to ask the question which is the aim of this post. If we made the theoretical leap that there is a possibility that the energy of consciousness can be harnessed and manipulated by an individual, one can only stand back in obvious awe of..if several individuals if not a large group concentrated their efforts in a common aim toward the reintroduction of myth, of a trans personal reality of the sacred, the mystical as an preparatory antidote to our current dilemma..and of course, further aims as well.
Some of you familiar with my earlier posts will recall The Fifty, that number of human beings of a certain type who could certainly influence our species. This number and this myth pervades many cultures, many epochs, many religions and many traditions. Ask yourself, is it all a coincidence reoccuring over the centuries?
If you are unfamiliar with this concept, here is a link.
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/hamlets_mill/hamletmill.htm
I assure you that I have found many more references to them beyond this tome.
This will be the subject of the next post...could such a group exist? If so, is there any evidence to consider this possibility? And also, perhaps this extraordinary possibility of human manipulation of quantum reality as an understandably hidden capability, could it also be a fallible one? Could something go terribly wrong?

As David Bohm set as his quest "that in my scientific and philosophical work, my main concern has been with understanding the nature of reality in general and of consciousness in particular as a coherent whole, which is never static or complete but which is an unending process of movement and unfoldment...."
(David Bohm: Wholeness and the Implicate Order)

"Look at the matter as it stands now. Man has been taught that he is the supreme marvel of the Creation; he believes it; in all the ages he has never doubted it, whether he was a naked savage, or clothed in purple and fine linen, and civilized. This has made his heart buoyant, his life cheery. His pride in himself, his sincere admiration of himself, his joy in what he supposed were his own and unassisted achievements, and his exultation over the praise and applause which they evoked--these have exalted him, enthused him, ambitioned him to higher and higher flights; in a word, made his life worth the living. But by your scheme, all this is abolished; he is degraded to a machine, he is a nobody, his noble prides wither to mere vanities; let him strive as he may, he can never be any better than his humblest and stupidest neighbor; he would never be cheerful again, his life would not be worth the living."
-Mark Twain

It is astonishing, but then again........perhaps not, that Ufology has not seriously considered the human condition in relation to it's subject of research, as if it were out of context....in the very terms of the reciprocal relationship on both sides of the coin which represents the observer and the observed.

"You have the world at your fingertips...no one can make it better than you...see what you've done to the rain and the sun...so many changes have all just begun...to reap...i know...youre asleep...Wake Up!"
-Spirit The Seven Dreams of Dr Sardonicus

In the examination of this ecology within a process we call the transformation of energy, we have once again called into play, a topsy turvey telescope in which we view the key to the UFO phenomenon as one facet of the sense and significance of life on earth in general terms and human life in particular, as what we are really studying are relationships and meaning. We are in an improbable situation and no one asks what purpose this serves. We have an entire planetary mechanism that is astonishingly complex, but no one asks what purpose it serves. We have seen how humanity cannot and will not face reality. At the same time, we know full well we have an extremely important asset entrusted to our care. At the same time we need only recognise our imprint upon it.

We all live in a state of poverty, of which we deny, in the sense we are absolutely dependant on what is provided for us and we, have nothing of an independent nature in terms of this dependency upon air, water, minerals, sunlight, soil, bacteria, cellular life, vertebrate creatures, invertebrate creatures, minerals, metals....and yet gadgetry, conveyance and synthetic realities are considered important to the "developing world", which is, in effect, the aim of developing a monetary exploitation of resources, to obtain...what? The legacy of abnormal human psychology as a consensus reality has inducted the next generation into the synthetic, ritualised culture of sociopathy as a past time.

Solar energy acts upon the passive elements of the earth and atmosphere. So in this sense it is entropic. However at the same time evolution occurs against probability in that we produce a high level energy from a lower level source. If we view the traditional law of the conservation of energy, the conditioned manifests loss of order and dissolution, and yet this unconditioned state is a source of enormous potential energy and is the corrective for entropy, and this is that which makes evolution possible. Perhaps in the crux of this matter what needs to occur is a shock that would hasten the entropic nature of our species and release the increase of potentiality which may be then redirected toward evolution.On this Jacob's ladder, we observed in this exchange, how the descent of energy and the arising of energy, actualises the middle. In all this, there is a creation, a reconciliation.

"Melody seeks to fetter itself in rhythm
While rythm flows back to melody
Idea seeks its body in form
Form its freedom in the idea
The infinite seeks the touch of the finite
What drama is this between creation and destruction-
this ceaseless to and fro between idea and form?
Bondage is striving after freedom
And freedom is seeking rest in bondage."

-Rabindranath Tagore

However,our destiny has gone wrong. At this time,perhaps only extraordinary efforts count in a situation that life in of itself has always been and always will be a creative process, which may be considered from one perspective, against our current nature. In all of this processing, comes meaning, which today, has little value in an empirical world, while at the same time, every twenty minutes, a species of plant or animal becomes eternally extinct. The weakening of the magnetosphere along with the collapse of nested and reciprocal energy systems which living organism represent are softly collapsing all about us as we broadcast through interstellar space, a new episode of "Dancing With The Stars." Or, for that matter, the images of deeply disfunctional icons, individuals that we have enthroned in the nexus of our defacto worship of personality as our calling card on the broadcast band...SETI is going to have an imperishibly long, eternal pause in awaiting a response to our lunacy...

We appear to be in the yoke of a process that has removed value, or if you will the sacred attributes to reality which value engenders. While all this is occurring, there is a quietly furious race afoot between Russia, the U.S and China to extract Hydrogen Three from the our moon and bring it to the surface of our planet. Sound familiar? Anyone recall the bringing of solar processes to the surface of this planet to destroy life?

"We need a unifying principle and attractor. The essence is an actual connection to the sacred. I dont think we can have an archaic revival by simply going backward. We have to carry our archeology of knowledge to the point where we understand what took place in the past and then adjust it to modern forms."
-Ralph Abraham

"The purpose of science should be understanding, not only technique. We need to hold back while we assimilate what we know at our current level, not push endlessly into the applications of techniques. That is rape. That is violation."
-Terence McKenna

Violation is an apt description. Any extraterrestrial worth his salt knows that any intervention, any subtle corrective application of meaning and value is not an entirely selfless act inasmuch that we tend to compartmentalise the possibility that they too live where we live and if it should be true that all of the visible and invisible universe is a reciprocal process, then a dire warning in the form of our pathological behavior, to them, is not only inevitable, but of great concern. Consider their predicament...We would prefer to be destroyed rather than face our object illusions.

The only possible solution to this is a creative act, that, in turn, faces us to reality by example so that we may have the possibility once again to be responsible as an Agent in the service and maintenance of living systems. Egotism fights tooth and nail, the very essence of service. In effect, being able to care for ourselves. This is the natural value, credo and organisation of the extraterrestrial. This is what is called a clue.

Try watching an endless car crash of cross purposes with every conceivable rationale applied to this behavior, a self referential babble that mistakes consensus with sanity and your reception of this image may come into focus in the same format as others view our species.

We have in our journey have observed and side stepped the faux extraterrestrial, the hungry Grey phantoms of the psyche. A soul catcher on the moon? Yes, why..of course... that's perfectly possible....... We have looked into the empty vaults of America, Inc. We have probably listened to every ridiculous form of babble known to be inherent in believing any old tale told to us on the midway, and yet we persist, yet we have faith that there is an invisible reality, an invisible world before us.

If you came upon a planet of illusionists bent on self destruction, unable to focus, what, my good sir, is your plan?

They do not need to exploit or destroy us. If this is their aim, they only need to stand by for a moment in the enormous scale of spacial time and we we will very skillfully and cleverly do this as we have always done to ourselves.

Any extraterrestrial knows that everything we can consider to be manifest has a price. What will humanity do, if left to their own legacy of illusion when the full cost of selfish pride arrives in the assumed sanctity of their homes, due upon demand in full?

A larger question to pose....Will humanity chose to suffer intentionally or will suffering come upon them like a thief in the night, as a consequence?
The mantra of this abnormal human psychology is everyone is responsible so no one is.

The endgame approaches and no, this is not an apocalyptic, self fulfilling prophecy, which is an excuse for failure, thank you very much..no....however the pressure will increase, and the tensioning effects will be certainly felt....perhaps as a species,through the developmental testing of our physical limbs to the testing of our psyche we sense it is time for our prolonged childhood to end and to become responsible toward ourselves, and then, accordingly, to others.

Do you furiously knock on the door of your neighbor's home whilst they are asleep to inform them their house is burning down, while you know full well that any act, any interaction will send this delusional corpus wildly careening off in a thousand directions? Welcome to Earth.

"We're generally used to describing things in a local way, within a neighborhood or area of space and time. We usually look at our world through the categories of space and time. Peat asks us to consider going further, using the principles of quantum theory, where the idea of non-locality is acceptable. He says, "Maybe there is a metaphor or an actuality that could be instructive for all of us. I was interested to find that linguists recognize this too. The old traditional way of discussing how two people interact would be that we're exchanging information; we're sending signals to each other. You are locally in your part of the world and I am locally in mine. The listener is now sitting in their living room and I'm sitting here in San Francisco on a certain date in June of 1989, and he or she's sitting there at another time and another space and I'm passing information to him or her. But is this really what's happening? Or is what is happening a creation of meaning between the two of us? Are we creating meaning? Are we generating meaning in a sort of non-local type of way? I think that's closer to the fact."
-F David Peat.

We observe a human eating food. This creature eats and refines this dense material and transforms it into thought, a highly energetic field. The membrane of humanity is a step within a nested hierarchy of reciprocal steps, which begins on the surface of the sun. Perhaps that what we consider as food could be considered as being confined to too narrow an empirical band. Perhaps food could also be impressions, knowledge and or experience as it shares with our digestion of atmosphere, a intangible and neglected recognition. Then again, we discount the disquieting concept that perhaps we provide food for something much larger than ourselves.
Also, equally true, it may be that our own composition makes it such that in a semi hypnotic state, or waking state, we are unable to counteract the larger natural system's needs in our physiological reaction to changes in this field.War perhaps?

This raw spectrum of electronic energy is broadcast and descends through the increasing density of atmosphere to water to soil to mineral to crystal to metal. All of which interpenetrate both upward and downward to reciprocally feed one another.

www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupDownloadFile.asp?GroupID=38264&ResourceID=95544 -

An upward ascent from microbial to cellular to invertebrate to vertebrate and then we have our human eating from all of these transforming stations, every single one of them, and he himself completes the final station, taking this raw material and creating conscious thought. Within all these storage and transformative streams of life, we see the solar system, as we pull back from this view, as a transformational process with the sun as the primary and the planets as secondaries. The distributing exchange of energetic matter between them is seen as their reflective quality.

And so as aliens we come upon this scene, as we walk among the inhabitants of this planet who dream in a waking state, who imagine themselves as this or that, who are unable to be firmly rooted on terra firma as they perform their societal roles, as each also provides an imaginary sense of self. The baseball player, the cop on the street, the suit and tie, the nuns, the priests....Again, we see a nested hierarchy of imagination within a self hypnotic state...seeking clarity. Perhaps someone else saw this realm as well.

"I wander all night in my vision,
Stepping with light feet . . . . swiftly and noiselessly
stepping and stopping,
Bending with open eyes over the shut eyes of sleepers;
Wandering and confused . . . . lost to myself . . . .
ill-assorted . . . . contradictory,
Pausing and gazing and bending and stopping.
How solemn they look there, stretched and still;
How quiet they breathe, the little children in their cradles.
The wretched features of ennuyees, the white features of
corpses, the livid faces of drunkards, the sick-gray faces
of onanists,
The gashed bodies on battlefields, the insane in their strong-doored
rooms, the sacred idiots....

-Walt Whitman The Sleepers

If you do not consider that perhaps there are extraterrestrial who may come upon this strange state of affairs and observe this odd state of evolution and wonder to themselves, literally, what on earth is going on?, you would be mistaken in discounting this possibility.. In our refinement of energy we have a key role in this evolving and ever changing, dynamic play of matrix ed energy. The self organising energy we feed upon, contain and process to produce a unique individuated differentiation counted in the billions of examples is quite a sight to behold.
That is if you could behold it. Using your imaginary gift,you see a crowd as an organism, humanity is such an organism on the thin membrane on the surface of the earth.

Consider what is being produced and consider what it is used for. Any egotistic dream that we vainly attempt to capture in our current evolutionary models completely and astonishingly assumes we are (A) Not food for a another species in the release of biochemically originated sources of energy storage as the puppet falls to the stage (B) We are atop of this chain of transmission (C) That this planet is a self contained organism. (C) That our evolution is a accidental and mechanically reactive case of survival of the "fittest". It may be much more subtle than this.

Our next extraterrestrial classroom lesson, will be the systems thinking of the requirement for warfare and how this energy could be provided in another form. Again everything within this is a reciprocal processing of energy. In the meantime our long term observational studies continue....and we ask ourselves the age old question based upon you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.
A failure of a planet as a station of this radiant transmission could result in, the transferance of this process to another secondary.Then again there are some of us who suspect the systems needs are such that the breakdown of our planetary "steps" (ie:the breakdown and collapse of natural systems) is such that either this process in terms of evolution no longer requires us or, that these processes are being transferred and being reformulated elsewhere. One need look no further than mars to understand the ramifications of this.

http://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/TechBase/cmptfr_Transformers.html

This is the crux and the locus of our efforts, to upgrade the refinement of this material energy, lest it be harvested in a cataclysmic manner by the unfortunate rearrangement of this fragile status quo. The destruction of this transformative sphere upon and within the earth is all attracted and imapcted by the presence of humanities role in this process. Should this process be transferred onto another planetary sphere without the loss of stability within the system. These are the stuff of dreams for us and the concerns of those who remain nameless.
Evolution is our byword and channel that must carry the stream, lest it over run it's banks elsewhere.

Also in the meantime of this interval, we must return to the attractor of the future so as to return to our source of influence.

"If you can bear to hear
The truth you've spoken
Twisted and misconstrued
By some smug fool
Or watch your life''s work
Torn apart and broken down
And still stoop to build again
With worn out tools."
-Joni Mitchell 'If'

We sat opposite one another on a slope we had passed in another journey at another time when there was a parting of the ways. He offered me a cigarette.
"You will pay a price..that price is always there..and everything is material...what is the value of what you seek to purchase?"
"I don't know"
"You will vanish in your opportunity... in your life...you will have to become like one of them to know them and even then...once you do...then what?"
"May I return to the teaching?"
"Yes..but you may not have the opportunity."

"The dark gods constitute the underworld. They are uncomplicated and they are capable of diminishing and shrinking into infinity.
Their deepest lord is the devil, the spirit of the moon, the serf of the earth, who is smaller, colder and deader than the earth.
There is no difference in the power of the heavenly and the earthly gods. The heavenly ones expand, the earthly ones diminish. Both directions stretch into infinity."
-Carl Jung The Seven Sermons To The Dead.

"Ordinarily, when we think about being present we identify ourselves with the intellectual center. When most people outside the Work (and those in faux-Work) speak about being present what is meant is a certain balance and clarity, an equipoise in the intellectual center—that moment when our attention is focused on what's before us (and possibly a certain awareness also of the intellectual center), when we're not lost in a reactive cloud of thought or emotion. But that is the ordinary meaning, a Moon world definition. It's just a "time out," a certain space in one center, the head brain, the formatory mind, the mechanical part of the intellectual center, the part that's always talking to me. No matter how sharply I may delineate, it's still the Moon world if I am not grounded in the instinctual-moving and feeling centers. That is, I'm all head, no body. I'm only a thought, a feeling, an impulse; there is no awareness of a body (except when it experiences lust, fear and so forth). I've taken the Great Fall, a descent into the Moon world. Now the question is how to make the ascent to the Earth world, and so knowingly enter the physical dimension, become consciously embodied."
-The Gurdjieff Journal

We were warned about mistaking the ensnarement of traps we have set for ourselves as a final goal, that the stage tricks of a pliable reality would become an end to themselves. Whatever manipulation of consciousness we were able to circumnavigate, we would only be traveling another road, another variant of the hypnotic state that was manifested all about us. We would congradulate ourselves as we were sinking ever deeper, silently into a quicksand that we would not be able to grasp, to recognise...we could become the very deception we create.

At the locus of the natural phenomenon of quantum mimicking of the observer's conceptual expectations and the animus we project upon the physiologic imprint of consciousness, I have hesitatingly and haltingly, trod down a dank and dark corridor surrounded by the mockery of manifestations in the echo chamber of the "paranormal",

If anything exists that we can absent midedly stuff into our coat pocket of materiality, we, for a moment, look away with not one shred of proof,although we do know without, any doubt, we are confronted by a transpersonal process embued with an the stamp of insatiable desire matched by an intelligence equal to it's goal of obtaining embodiment.

Where does one draw the pen as a scaple to separate the hydra of a populace haunted by the pliable chimera of ufo's, the abduction of possession requiring an exorcism, the ritualistic abduction of "experiencers", the objects violently thrown by unseen hands in a fit of frustration, or the discarnate voices of personalities long since separated from their owner's? Is there a unified field theory behind the many persona's worn by our provocative adversary? If so, why doesn't this energetic non human intelligence hide behind our sensate blindness?

"You noticed them and they noticed that you noticed them...most people....are not sensitive enough....or...without some kind of....trauma?...What happened to you, Mr Kline?"

P.D Ouspensky summarised organic growth in nature as a process of experimentation. When you consider humanity as a species whose quantity is counted in billions, and that total sum may be reflecting individuated holographic fragments of a whole, and that each piece of the mirror's surface contains the potentiality of the sum total.
In this sense perhaps, this is also reflected in the quality of paranormal experiences inasmuch as; "Detail in a photograph is not particularly connected to the size in the sense that a small piece of a photograph will have a lot of detail on a small area of the scene. A large photograph will have a lot of detail on all of the scene. In a hologram, each grain has some of the information about the whole scene. It has some detail about the whole scene. A large hologram has a lot of details about the whole scene. So something different happens when you cut a hologram in half: you get the original picture, but it is less clear because you have lost detail."
- Richard Alan Miller and Burt Webb
Department of Paraphysics and Parapsychology, Experimental College
University of Washington

In other words, much like our own physic constitution, this non human intelligence may be distributed along several manifestations, each having the essence of the whole band yet lacking a refined embodiment. There is a struggle afoot. There are the signs everywhere..lack of progress...lack of a goal for humanity is everywhere on the transparent cusp of an evolutionary threshold.The unceasing and involuntary
sacrifice of our fellow creatures as a necessary compulsion of a larger sphere, in warfare....

If we utilise our gift of imaginative processing, we are observing the oceanic horizon of a transparent loom, whose threads are the tides and currents circulating in a proverbial meteorological climate, as unseen as microwaves, radio signals and the density of a transparent atmosphere we inhale as sustenance, which can only be observed by the rustling of branches on a summer's day.

In the receiving spectrum of sensate awareness, whether it is sight, taste, smell, touch or sound, nature also relentlessly experiments in attenuating the reciprocal nature of relationships that we are incapable of fathoming with the exception of what floats and bobs on the surface of this ocean. We critically assume we are the lone expeditionary navigators upon the reflective surface of materiality.

The sensitivity, the human individuated attenuation of reception of a realm that requires no terminology, no proof, no finite limitations in it's symbolics is by it's very nature, a pathway of evolutionary potential whose exploratory shoots and branches have roots that seek what others cannot drink. The pricking up of ears, the barking at unseen visitors...the cats that turn and run without provocation...the greeting given by our domestic pets minutes prior to our arrival...these sensitivities are not ours alone. One considers the increased and expotential growth of concern toward animal welfare just another instinctual marker that crosses this author's radar....that denotes another octave in this symphony of intangible but very real reciprocal, planetary energy exchange. Someone else has noticed this as well. A certain Mr Sheldrake.

Of course, then again, we have always sensed this larger sphere and it's needs in terms of making an offering within a ritualised sacrifice of them to atone for our own lacking in these same qualities.

The rise of autism is a dynamic, a reconcilling middle third bubbling up from the cauldron of reciprocal energy being demanded by induction, and so a bypass, an end play of evolution is being made manifest in the arrival of these contingent saints, whose sensitivities are the lifeblood of Angels. Again, the highly sensitive attenuation.....

On the other side of the spectrum is the descending animalistic human hybrid, the situational monstosities they create are much worse than any work of fiction could imagine. A great deal is at stake.

What draws forth these phantoms, what is the prize we posssess that embodiment is noted but is suspected that is a representational totem of a much greater human evolutionary potentiality than any discarnate will of the wisp? Much more is at stake than our own individual fates.

On the darker realms of this reflective surface from position of a non-human state, that provides no radiant sustenance, other receptive sensitivities may be insatiably desirous of this aforementioned embodiment and may seek to either possess or create this superior formulation of physic materiality in a "illegal" manner. Deception is a tactical strategy when one is posssessed by an object of desire, one cannot obtain by any other means.

Whether it is the abduction of sleep, the nonsensical ritualised penetration of individuated consciousness by a hive of a sociopathic drones whose eyeless obsession with materiality is a compulsion or the psychotic hatred of imprinted personalities upon the walls of materiality, stirring in obsessive hunger driving their ghostly quixotic quest to fruitlessly possess or terrorise what we encapsulate, there are also those guardians whom newborn infants gaze upon and babble with in rapt attention, as well as those guardians of humanity hidden among our own kind. The Peacock Angel of the Yezidis of is representative of of this delimited spectrum of manifestation akin to a clear liquid, whose appearance is defined by the container of the witness.

The energetic density of the spectrum of light as a reflective surface that is not only manifest in the pliable enigma of ufology, but also in the most common of intermediary and reciprocal processes in the illusionary quality of materiality.

"Qalander Baba Auliya has named the primary form of gases made from the light waves as nasma (aura), that is, the nasma is the name those basic waves and rays that initiate an existent. The waves of these lights in their flowing state can be taken as lines drawn upon the canvas of the universe. These lines, unlike the lines we are familiar with, are scattered in such a way that neither there is any distance between them nor these are infused into one another.

A movie film displayed in a cinema house can be taken as an example for understanding this thing. The light waves flow from an opening towards a screen for their display in the form of different forms and shapes. The lights rays emitting from the projector do not have any distance between them nor they are infused into one another and every line is carrying one or the other feature of a picture. Just as the lights after discharging from the projector turn into pictures after striking against the screen, similarly the nasma lines after passing through the space take the form of material bodies. These nasma lines are the basic component of the material bodies but unlike the rays emitted from the projector the physical eyes cannot sight these lines, these can only be witnessed by the inner or the spiritual sight. These cannot be seen even using the material gadgets although their effects have been notices by means of laboratory equipments. Reflection of the nasma has been seen and is named as aura but seeing the nasma using material equipments is still to be made possible.

Nasma are the waves responsible for the formation of the physical features of the creatures. These are of two types, simple and compound. The waves of simple and compound nasma are permeating the space and both contain forms and features. These not only transform into forms and features but also reflect these features for others.

Senses are produced from the effects of the waves of nasma. When these waves descend in the human mind, very mild pressure is produced, which remains imperceptible for the senses. This mild pressure, known as fantasy, can be related to with any activity of past, future or the present life. When this pressure increases, senses feel a vibration, which forms an out line or a sketch of a picture upon the screen of mind. This state, according to the Sufis, is known as thought.

When these waves sink deeper in their descent, the outline becomes more vivid. This is the state of imagination. Then the imagination gives rise to the feeling and when the feelings gain depth, the latent colors in the waves of nasma become evident, or to say, feelings become colorful. At this stage, the fantasy-cum-thought-cum-imagination-cum feeling takes the form of a manifestation displaying all the features in detail.... According to the laws of the Preserved Scripturum, the colors transform into manifestation after filling the perception with colors, which happens only when the depth is produced in the feelings and until then these waves cannot be given the name of a color and for this reason the physical eyes cannot see them. In fact the colorless waves or the lines of nasma are the six main movements of the universe and the individuals of the universe. These waves, lines or the colorless rays multiply and divide according to their concentration at any one point. The gravity is result of the descent and dispersal of these very waves and the rotations and revolution of the very waves produce periods of time.
The concentration of these waves, on one hand, introduces us with spatiality and, on the other, with time, which is another name of the dispersal of these waves upon the mind. The descent, dispersal, rotation or circulation and their multiplication and division are known as absorption of nasma that is, the nasma takes the form and figure of a feasible object according to its requirements and physical demands. Feasible, in terms of Sufism is such a thing, which in its last stage or after its completion, can be sighted by the physical eyes. As long as an object does not start existing in the form of solid materiality, it is known as Reality (tahaqaq) or Illustrative Form (tamasl)."
-Kwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi

One of the many misleading assumptions in ufology is that this phenomenon is not an interactive process but rather a empirical statement.One of the most persistent defacto dead ends is the illusionary oasis in the proverbial desert, an omniscient government agency who has patented the process of truth into an emprical commodity that they have an exclusive bureaucratic franchise..this of course is a perfect set up for the age old pantomime of fear. If you believe the government holds the key to truth, they are likely to invent one for you, of course, one that serves their purposes....which is the illusionary sleight of hand that they possess and are in control of this phenomenon. Of course this faint hope against hope in ufology in the search for honesty is played against the blare of commercial background noise. In the background, is a black shadow that is being fed a vertible food of the gods, the output of our most mysterious physic organ of perception, the human heart.
This ritualised sidestepping of the issue at hand has produced a horrific history when it is organised into an formal exterior....a systematic form of worship.

JG Bennett observed that there are two streams of life, involution and evolution.
On the bright end of expansion, there are three groups of individuals in a society;

1.Psychostatic group, those who remain in a single unchanging mode
2.Psychokinetic group, or those who are on a path of transformation to a higher level of being,
3.Psychoteleios, or those fully transformed individuals who are able to be channels between mankind and higher intelligence – similar to what Buddhists term “buddhisattva” – for the benefit of all mankind, now and in the future.

On the other tensioning side of The Rope there is the diminishing line which leads to the dead vacuum of stillness of the moon's twilight surface.

"These powers and these limitations reappear in men whose Demiurgic Nature has been awakened-that is in the two lower groups of Psychoteleios Humanity. These groups when organized for the service of the Great Work are able to cooperate with the Demiurgic Intelligences and to receive direction from the higher Psychoteleios sub-groups of Prophets and Messengers who are in direct communication with the Hyparchic Future. The human intelligences engaged in the Great Work have seldom been known to men and women of the Psychostatic Order except through the results of their intervention. Although their presence in the world is not deliberately disguised, they are not recognized because their activity differs from that of other people only in Hyparchic Regions, which ordinary man cannot perceive. They have appeared as magicians and soothsayers, as heroes and hemitheandric rulers, as prophets and priests: but, their true nature never becoming apparent, they have soon been transformed into legendary images. In our present day, they are regarded as either wholly mythical, or as ordinary men and women superstitiously endowed by their admirers with super-human attributes."

And so this play of tensioning forces churn and eddies upon an invisible sea....Yes, I have paid the price...the next time the phone rings....I will let it ring....

PT 1: An Autobiography of Strangeness

2007-12-10T07:31:00.000-08:00

A Brilliant Flash
This is a story that begins in the winter of 1968, during a blizzard. I was in the midst of wrestling with a irritating and inexplicable notion to leave the warm comfort of my home, and answer the overwhelming and insistent voice in my apparently schizophrenic mind that would not rest unless I obeyed it's surrealistic request. At the time, I felt that if I did so, this act would be tantamount to falling over the edge of my world and succumb to the consequences of realizing I had gone mad.

The insistence of this compulsion that flew in the face of having not provided any reason or reward for doing so, finally wore me down and so to quell this irritating repetitious whispering in my ear...I pulled on my winter gear and went out into this howling storm. I walked along the deserted streets observing everything about this scene and was growing more chilled by the moment, when instantly and brilliantly the entire neighborhood was lit up as if a twenty story flashbulb had exploded. I spun around and slowly turned to find a source. There was none. Upon returning home and henceforth, for practical and selfish reasons of embedded but persistent fear of ridicule, I would never relate to anyone what had occurred. It was my secret encounter with my own fairly evident madness.

A Vivid Sleep Vision
Some weeks later, whilst still in 1968, I had what would become the first of extremely vivid dreams...I was directly above a gull that was flying above a sea of shimmering mercury, and a voice behind me provided a narration of the scene., " The gull is held aloft by transformation, and should this process stop, the living creature will turn to a stone and fall beneath the waves of the sea...." And so it did. I was standing in the midst of what appeared to be some variant of a classical temple complex. There was an animated conversation being held on the portico of one of the marble buildings. There were various gentlemen aligning themselves in a circle apparently debating some topic with such passion that I went unnoticed. I became aware of the presence of someone unseen standing next to me. Without questioning this entire scenario, I asked what they were discussing. He said "They are discussing what is the be done with the situation upon Earth." I drew closer to their conversation, and overheard one advocating a process of controlling the behavior of humanity by the induction of illusions, another countered with a direct biological series of experimentation's to mutate and damp down our self destructive behaviors....another advocated a slowly evolving process of education...I asked one of them what was the point of this discussion. One turned to me slightly perturbed.."Art.." And with the recitation of that word, I was absorbed into an experience that in which words fail to describe. Differentiation of form, sound, was all around me..one note of this complex symphony could become a universe onto itself, and then two could intertwine and great a third, then the same process with each "note" creating another branch of a tree which than repeated itself....and then these grew into worlds, universes, increasingly complex, unique and beautiful.

I was sitting in the midst of a tent with another circle of exotic looking people with strangely wonderful clothing who appeared to be from everywhere and nowhere in particular. A darkly dressed bearded gentleman with swarthy features entered the tent, and began to regale us with the most ridiculous series of statements I had ever heard. At the same time, I noticed that everyone present had a faint smiling countenance toward me as if they knew something about this situation that I was unaware of..The gentleman's voice was very sincere in tone, and over the course of his soliloquy I slowly became convinced that what he was saying had some very important kernel of truth behind it. The instant that thought entered my consciousness, everyone broke out in laughter. I felt I had been initiated into a joke telling ritual of some sort and the joke was on me. I had fallen for this nonsensical diatribe. Suddenly, another person entered the tent, just after our apparent host had walked out, only to re-enter and began telling another series of absurd renditions of the truth. I watched our newcomer's face as his obvious disdain was telling, and slowly it began to dawn on me, that his face had the look of being transfixed in the act of listening. A smile crossed my own face as we all knew what was coming.....again, the shared laughter...it was like watching a very entertaining show of hypnosis. This fellow was quite the trickster....as I rediscovered this "mythical" legend in my reading, several years later.

I was standing in the midst of the dark waters of a lushly tropical swamp. I could hear the faint sounds of wind and rustling plants. A beam of brilliantly blinding light hit the dank water afew feet away from where I was standing. Suddenly a legless transparent creature arose being lifted in this column and it slowly began a metamorphosis of it's structure, while underneath a whirlpool opened, I could see a spinal column being slowly added, legs, eyes etc while the discarded shapes this creature was formerly encased in fell away into the whirlpool as new formulations of its organisation appeared in it's increasingly complex manifestations. All along this creature was held in a state of suspension within this column.

I awoke with a mixture of awe, confusion, wonder and a hundred fold questions concerning this event that I also knew could not be answered, which led to to thoughts of being isolated and secretive once again.
Should I tell anyone or should I keep it to myself?

That was nearly forty years ago. I am writing this for my peers, those who have been ridiculed, those who have been isolated, those who have become outsiders and have been judged by the smug ignorance of fear. I may be a lunatic, but then again, for myself, that consideration has long since vanished into the distance, below the horizon of my quest for whatever it is we simplistically term the truth. My quest is not dependant on opinion polls, or consensus, nor some vain attempt to garner approval from others. I have no answers as to me progresses onward...only more questions that exponentially grow as my own available time here grows proportionately smaller.

A Message
This was in the summer of 2005. The first was recorded in mid afternoon. The voice resembled that of an elderly, deep voiced male. He enthusiastically said "Hello!" Then he said " I wonder if I may be the one who sees through Netharious" (sp?).then a pause..then thoughtfully as if contemplating the name and it's connotations he softly repeated the name.."Netharious"..and then disdainfully."The Great Wannabe".then, in a voice best described as frantic he exclaimed "Okay!" Then a long pause ensued so long at first I thought that was the end of the message. Then it got stranger. Words cannot describe the timbre of the voice. At first I thought it was perhaps sardonic. My wife thought it had nothing to do with humor.He simply said "ha.ha..ha. " With each repetition of "ha" the voice lowered in pitch and stretched as if it were spliced into the overall message artificially The next evening my son answered the phone at 2 am. A variety of loud electronic sounds mixed together in varying, modulating pitches that (as he mimicked them) that sounded to me like the wireless data transfers I have heard. He could not provide a greeting when he picked up the phone since it was obvious this was a broadcast plus it temporarily took him aback. The instant it stopped a voice identical to that in the first message said " Give your father my regards." Then the transmission -call abruptly cut off. He was so excited he came into our bedroom to tell us. He was also somewhat frightened. How this voice knew it was my son answering the phone and not my wife or myself or my daughter is beyond me especially since he never had the opportunity to speak.

The Electronic Variations.
In 1999, I was up late after my children and wife had retired. I was reading a book on the couch, when very suddenly the radio turned itself on and a garbled voice with a great deal of static behind it was speaking in a indecipherable language. The voice stopped and then the radio shut itself off.
My no nonsense mother, who lived afew miles West of us, called me the following night to ask who she could call, due to the fact, as she was speaking to me, she was watching a UFO to the West of her location, which was a veritable rainbow of colors observing a brilliant orb that zigged and zagged and hovered in her field of vision.
Then, later that same evening... the speakers connected to my media center began making a series of odd noises that sounded like intermittent short circuits in the form of loud hums. Five at a time and then would pause for a minute or so and then would begin the cycle again. Was this some odd wiring malfunction? So, since I had long since lost all self reproach in terms of lunatic behavior, I said aloud, "If this is a communication, make this noise three times." It boomed out three times and ceased.

A Singing Call
Later in the very early morning hours, I was awakened by a bizarre "song" of a animal like intonation that was unlike anything I had heard before or since. It sounded as if someone had input the loud song of a bird consisting of four or five long and short notes and layered the synthesized voice box of a large dog onto it. Despite my best efforts, my wife could not be awakened. It repeated this very same call several times and sounded as though it were coming from the roof, just outside my window. I was so taken aback, I was too intimidated to look outside. A decade later, my son asked me if I had ever heard a weird song that sounded like an animal coming from the roof in our old home?......... Why yes, I did.

So, if you have ever been exposed to a blinding flash of light in the depths of a winter night, or have had someone, or some electronic voice provide you with nonsensical warnings, or indecipherable radio broadcasts that can also remotely operate your media center or if you have happened to have been awakened by odd songs of large mammals perched on your roof, in the hours before dawn...let me know. We may or may not have a common circle of provocative or predatory stalkers who exhibit a great deal of creativity when it comes to hiding in plain sight. Or then again, it must be our imaginations that have taken on a life of their own...as projections of our own shadows. But then again, I think not.

Potential, Differentiation and The Paranormal

2007-12-07T07:44:00.000-08:00

"All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?'
-Chuang Tzu

We certainly realise that the human mind is cojoined by the tangibility of materiality and the intangible. As Gregory Bateson said;" Of all these examples, the simplest but the most profound is the fact that it takes at least two somethings to create a difference."
The materiality and the intangible qualities are composed, by their very nature of an interior and exterior we can easily demonstrate on a sensate basis, although there is the disquieting equal reality that this is an assumption of a relationship that may not accurately model reality, as in the example of a hypercube.

However, if we come out from behind our referencing, conceptual file cabinet full of these folders, we see a melding of a third potential frame of reference.

"Those whose intelligence has gone beyond existence and nonexistence
And who do not abide [in any extremes]
Have realized the meaning of dependent arising,
The profound and unobservable [truth of emptiness]."
-Buddha

This interconnectedness beyond the discursive realm of differentiation, as well, may illustrate a transcendant state of sentient reality, as energy composes both the sensate realm of materiality as well as the transparent. Perhaps in terms of a phenomenon, perhaps, the state of energy unformed in manifestation can be easily manipulated as would a piece of clay. perhaps UFOs and ghosts, or Jinn share commonalities.

http://ufoinfo.com/news/FSR_scientific.shtml

There may be a zero point of material reality, as a form of energy that is an undiscovered country in a potential state between manifestation and non sensate experience and it's location may well occupy this unknown state with one foot planted in one and another on the shore of potential. Many a Sufi can tell you that beyond the illuminating colours, beyond contemplation is the black light. A black, blacker than the blackest, to borrow an expression from the alchemical tradition (nigrum nigrior nigrius). In the same way that Silence can be said to contain all sounds in their non-manifested modality, this blackness, which embraces all, contains the principle of light.

When a newly formed human being is brought into materiality, at that moment, a Sufi would acknowledge that this sentient being is a contingent saint, that is a proverbial drop from an undifferentiated Ocean of Mercy. A Taoist would call this act, the gifting of a state of potential, Hidden Virtue.

What we are observing in it's locus of manifestation is a human being in it's most observable true state, pristine in it's potentiality.

At the same time, G Spencer Brown, would say, upon observing this child, from this point onward, this sentient creation would reciprocally be subject to The Laws of Form and itself begin creating a dynamic of interactive distinctions. perhaps from the point of view of all created things it is equally true that underlying this explicate order, is an implicate order in which the 'totality of existence is enfolded in each region of space (and time).' In other words, any apparently independent object such as a 'fundamental' particle actually contains within itself the sum of all other seemingly independent objects. The late Physicist David Bohm stated that"'Ultimately, the entire universe…has to be understood as a single undivided whole, in which analysis into separately and independently existent parts has no fundamental status."

This entire process is built upon an increasing number of contrivances of meaning, which in of themselves act upon what is perhaps a state of reality we fail to recognize as it is manifested, yet undoubtedly present, a state of unmanifested potential.

Perhaps that in of itself is a state of formless energy. Perhaps meaning embedded within information... if information in of itself is a form of organised energy, layers itself into a state of experiential potential that has an infinite amount of outcomes. Perhaps our individual set of learned reactions, behavior can either tilt us toward the paranormal in a receptive frame or we avoid it, lock it out and deny it's existance. As John lilly observed,"In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true". On the other hand, the individuated potential of a human being toward the paranormal is self originated, as Bateson pointed out,.."for all objects and experiences, there is a quantity that has optimum value. Above that quantity, the variable becomes toxic. To fall below that value is to be deprived." No two individuals have the same range of set points for toxicity and deprivation when confronted with the potential of a paranormal experience.

"Meaning is the bridge between consciousness and matter. Any given array of matter has for any particular mind a significance. The other side of this is the relationship in which meaning is immediately effective in matter. Suppose you see a shadow on a dark night. If it means "assailant," your adrenaline flows, your heart beats faster, blood pressure rises, and muscles tense. The body and all your thoughts are affected; everything about you has changed. If you see that it's only a shadow, there's an abrupt change again.That is an example of the implicate order: Meaning enfolds the whole world into me, and vice versa-that enfolded meaning is unfolded as action, through my body and then through the world. The word hormone means "messenger," that is, a substance carrying some meaning. Neurotransmitters carry meaning, and that meaning profoundly affects the immune system. This understanding could be the beginning of a different attitude to mind-and to life"
-David Bohm

Perhaps there is a distinctive psychological profile of a non consensus imaginitive personality that is like open tuning on a radio frequency, or in this case, a symbological bridge that utilises it's capability to reshuffle the deck of informational stereotypes in order to manifest them;

http://www.qtm.net/~geibdan/a1998/jan/cni1.html

One could consider this state of undifferentiated reality, or potential, an unclaimed, invisible and yet manifest form of energy, as all things may be considered to be but manifestations of this energy in a potential, subject to transforming whilst in a field state of storage within materiality.

Perhaps, our artifice of distinctions between the normal and paranormal can be better understood as all matter being in a quantum state.

“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?”
-Chuang Tzu

Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche:

"For example, let's take the appearance of a flower in a dream. This flower is not something that exists, that truly exists, because it's just a dream appearance - there's no real flower there whatsoever. On the other hand, you can't say there's absolutely nothing, because there is the mere appearance of a flower - but just a mere appearance, that's it. That is its nature in terms of how it exists in the world of appearances. There's nothing really there but there is this mere appearance. In a dream there's nothing substantial but there is the mere appearance of something substantial. Thus, its true nature transcends both existence and nonexistence. Its true nature is not something we can describe with these kinds of terms, because it is beyond any type of thing we might be able to think up about it. And so, just like a flower that appears in a dream, all phenomena that appear, wherever they appear, are the same. They all appear in terms of being a mere appearance. There is nothing substantial to them, and their true nature transcends both existence and non-existence - and any other idea."

In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, a system stops being a superposition of states and becomes either one or the other when an observation takes place. This experiment makes apparent the fact that the nature of measurement, or observation, is not well defined in this interpretation. Some interpret the experiment to mean that while the box is closed, the system simultaneously exists in a superposition of the states "decayed nucleus" and "undecayed nucleus", and that only when the box is opened and an observation performed does the wave function collapse into one of the two states.

Abu Asa'id al-Kharraz: The "place" of this encounter is not outside the Creator-Creature totality, but is the area within it which corresponds specifically to the Active Imagination, in the manner of a bridge joining the two banks of a river. The crossing itself is essentially a hermeneutics of symbols, a method of understanding which transmutes sensory data and rational concepts into symbols (mazahir) by making them effect this crossing."

Perhaps a good example of the reciprocal nature of the means of measurement an observer, being enfolded or reciprocally mirrored with a process is the focus of energy expended in studying synchronicity leads to one experiencing more synchronised events, than if one were not and the potential were null.

The "believers" in ghosts are more likely to experience the manifestation of a ghost than a skeptic would. Laboratory experimentation of PSI events are notorious for both their skeptical or at best, neutral state of observation and the subsequent failure to produce the phenomenon.

The more we actively look for the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, the more material these phenomenon become, whether it is a sound recording of a cry, rocks being thrown or a strobe photograph of Nessie's fin. Perhaps we are observing a process of an implicate ordering rather than a empirical materiality.

The more faith, or more accurately the more energy we focus and invest in a conceptual model in a physics of self fulfilling materialisation in a quantum state, accordingly to our input of bias, the more it mirrors back or perhaps processes what we invest.

This is not to be mistaken with delusions or dishonesty or a lack of objectivity, it is in fact, it is simply a unrecognised natural reflection of our own quantum state of observation. Between consensus reality and non consensus reality wherein may lie a truth that is not counterintuitive to either.

The return to undifferentiated consciousness as it applies to the return to the origin of a potential state is the subject of The Tibetan Book of The Dead. The undifferentiated state of consciousness is not surprisingly manifested in the Clear Light.

http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/1320/implicate.html

So perhaps what we term the paranormal is a undifferentiated state of recognition that simply does not fall into the hands of our all too contrived distinctions. One looks at the paranormal as a problem with a distinct answer or set of answers, the same, not surprisingly applies to physics. Perhaps the answer is one of a interactive process wherein no one answer, or no one variant is true as all are true within the confines of it's locus. It's a dialog rather than an eventual empirical statement.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7jrmkeU78I

Or perhaps the controversial Higgs theory in physics explains the odd capability of some objects to have mass one second and to vanish just as quickly. In an aricle from New Scientist;

"But the Higgs mechanism does not explain why mass, or its energy equivalent, resists motion or reacts to gravity," says Bernard Haisch of the California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics in Palo Alto. He believes instead that inertia and gravity are manifestations of far more familiar effects. When you lift that sack of potatoes or shove your shopping trolley, the forces you feel might be plain old electricity and magnetism.

If the forces are familiar, their origin is anything but. For in Haisch's view, they come out of the quantum vacuum. What we think of as a vacuum is, according to quantum theory, a sea of force fields. The best understood of all these fields is the electromagnetic field, and it affects us constantly -- our bodies are held together by electromagnetic forces, and light is an oscillation in the electromagnetic field.
That these fields pop up in the vacuum is reflected by Heisenberg's uncertainly principle, which states that the shorter the length of time over which an energy measurement is made, the less precise the result will be. So although the energy of the electromagnetic field in the vacuum averages to zero over long periods of time, it fluctuates wildly on very short timescales. Rather than being empty, the vacuum is a choppy sea of randomly fluctuating electromagnetic waves. We don't see or feel them because they pop in and out of existence incredibly quickly, appearing only for a split second. These fleeting apparitions are called virtual photons. "

Perhaps we need not look any further for a Trickster. It could be we have as a birthright, the capability to fool ourselves in a quantum manner, or in the classical sense, we fail to peer behind this near sighted veil of illusion, which we absent mindedly refer to as our Reality as if it were carved eternally, fixed in granite rather than a dynamic, evolving process akin to a metaphor for the inexpressible..

Again, perhaps all of this indicates a process rather than discrete objects and perhaps this dialog between human perception and the reciprocal nature of our realationship with reality stretches further back in our history as a species and will continue long after you and I enter either the grave and enter a brave new world of which we have only fleeting glimpses of, to speculate upon.

"This brings me to a final point, which, I hope will stimulate some debate. It that point at which, I believe science (as its is presently being practiced), and religion part company, or at least betray a different attitude towards knowledge and certainty. Religion is tolerant of mystery, of living with uncertainty and accepting doubt. Philosophers work in a long tradition, revising and illuminating perennial problems of truth, morals and conduct. Writers, artists and composers constantly add to, consolidate or transform their own traditions. Science however, particularly theoretical physics of the latter half of the twentieth century, has constantly been seeking closure. It wants to reach the most fundamental level, the ultimate equation, the "God" particle. Physics had created this final goal for itself and believes it to be an achievable end. The inability to reach such a hypothetical goal can therefore easily be viewed as a personal failure. It is true that ultimate level or explanation may indeed exist. Equally well it may not. It is entirely possible that, in a certain sense, physics could continue to dialogue with nature for the foreseeable future.'-F David Peat

It could be, that despite our best focused efforts at cross purposes, self destructive behavior and rampant egotism, our species is perhaps at the evolutionary threshold of a doorway we cannot begin to grasp,let alone recognise.

"The sacred may have ontological validity, but it needs existential confrontation with the profane if humans are to come into contact with the sacred in the contemporary mind and culture. The sacred, therefore, is the very ground of human consciousness and that consciousness only "knows" the sacred in its historical manifestation, integrating the intellect and the unconscious and contemplation with both social existence and social concern. In a strangely profound sense, the profane is what gives human their experience of the sacred.'

On the tangible surface of the skin of this many layered onion of ufology is our socio-cultural matrix and intangibly beneath it, are you and I, unseen in this context, and prone to the hundred fold variations of distorting signal noise, some of it arises intentionally, some is self projected deception and some of it, are the circumstantial folk tales that have disintegrated upon the examining table, signifying nothing, other than a profound sense of existential babble. From Steven Greer to Bob Lazar, the existential players upon the stage of a fluid reality, vie and bicker amongst themselves for who is the most knowledgably misinformed and deluded when compared to the others who peer into a void of meaning, value and purpose.

In the wake, or more appropriately, in the vacuum of the roaring silence left behind as an epitaph for ufology when science abdicated it's curiosity, in the face of the politics of the technological marketplace of commercial invention, not surprisingly, we find a defacto atmospheric ambivalence toward ufology.

This free falling state of common folk's interest is marked by the passing of obscuring clouds, whose conjuration by psychological operations is a dense matrix of secrecy, deceit and manipulation, inexorably imprinting its way across our obscured field of vision, reinforcing cultural self deception with an assured sleight of hand.

In the fading light of this rainy afternoon, we restlessly roam the open stalls of this intangible imprisonment within a vacuum in the hermetic bubble of the bustling midway that is book ended by the gaudy sideshows of ufological infotainment, cash at the ready in a quest to be voluntarily transfixed by our insatiable appetite for information...at this intersection of ufological communication and commerce.

The proud American traditions of commercial boosterism, hucksters and the inflated claims of advertising shtick, the closing of deals, and the self hypnotic zeal of Elmer Gantry, in a evangelical sales pitch for credit card numbers, are loudly center stage in the deafening din of this humid hothouse tent.

"But you ought to know that What is Grand is necessarily obscure to Weak men. That which can be made Explicit to the Idiot is not worth my care."
William Blake, Letter to Dr. Trusler

We slowly and discretely walk away from this blinding ritual, side stepping the jumble of props and debris behind the card table booths of this feeding frenzy, where the quiet respite under the protection of the night, wallows no invasive shill as an intermediary between ourselves and and our self entrapment within our induction into entangling ufological engigma, which in brooding hindsight we consider as perhaps one would a dusty reflecting mirror of much larger issues, that has been discarded among the sacred artifacts left in the ruins of an abandoned place of habitation

Perhaps if our sensate equations of reality require a calculation that takes into account a process of differentiation from a zero point, we see the oldest of humanities questions. And in the process of squaring this situation, perhaps if we substitute the conceptual paradox of a indescribable God, and by doing so we then substitute the symbological UFO as a key word in the following commentary and determine for ourselves how well this phenomenon that cojoins the tangible and intangible, fits the model of a reciprocal process.

Perhaps better yet, if we run a parallel program of consideration in the context of theoretical quantum physics into this ancient commentary, perhaps there is some glimmer beyond that of gilded lillies. Dr Jung and Wolfgang Pauli lean forward from their chairs.

Questioner: How do you know God?

Abu Asa'id al-Kharraz: By the fact that He is the coincidentia oppositorum. Corbin's commentary: . . . the entire universe of worlds is at once He and not-He (huwa la huwa). The God manifested in forms is at once Himself and other than Himself, for since He is manifested, He is the limited which has no limit, the visible which cannot be seen. This manifestation is neither perceptible nor verifiable by the sensory faculties; discursive reason rejects it. It is perceptible only by the Active Imagination (Hadrat al-Khayal...) at times when it dominates man's sense perceptions, in dreams or better still in the waking state (in the state characteristic of the gnostic when he departs from the consciousness of sensuous things). In short, a mystic perception (dhawq) is required. To perceive all forms as epiphanic forms (mazahir), that is, to perceive through the figures which they manifest and which are the eternal hexeities, that they are other than the Creator and nevertheless that they are He, is precisely to effect the encounter, the coincidence, between God's descent toward the creature and the creature's ascent toward the Creator. The "place" of this encounter is not outside the Creator-Creature totality, but is the area within it which corresponds specifically to the Active Imagination, in the manner of a bridge joining the two banks of a river. The crossing itself is essentially a hermeneutics of symbols, a method of understanding which transmutes sensory data and rational concepts into symbols (mazahir) by making them effect this crossing.

And so..in the stealth of this night, some faint shimmering objects trail across the demarcation of our horizon, among the stars and above the surface of our realm, effecting an encounter. We sadly make our way toward them as only to look back for a moment toward the crest of the hill to observe the carnival lights, the disjointed sounds of screams and laughter that intermittantly drift as echoes of impassioned confusion cross an Elysian field. Later, we return from our sojurn to observe the satellite trucks making their way home across the rutted roads as the diffused early light falls across the wafts of wisping smoke that waft from the grey embers of a conflaguration. Discarded gadgets and trinkets litter the ground. The abandoned tent poles snapped from their moorings have dropped their faded banners into the congealed mud. The circus has moved on. A smallish fellow with a large bag of rubbish
hails us and inquires as to what brought us us here.....I quietly mutter aloud to myself I wave back...." good question"....

For Whom The Bell Tolls: Part Three

2007-11-30T12:19:00.000-08:00

It seems fitting that as I type this post, the sky is grey and fog is descending in a steady rainfall over the dead leaves covered by snow. My ambivalence toward my own efforts to continue both this post and in a larger sense my interest in this field appears to have accumulated in a stalemate between hope and despair. I stopped typing this obligatory task and took another reinforcing gulp of morning coffee and looked out over this territory between my internal acknowledgement of several decades poised ad midst proof and truth in my quest and the onset of winter observed as one of discontent.
Somehow, in this study of ufology I have been shunted and stolen away from the safe distance of an exploration of the paranormal into a cartography of unease, of a growing sense that while I certainly know more in my obsessive accumulation of data as compared to when I began, I know less of this question I that shared with you; Who really won World War Two? In retrospect, I cannot withdraw a question once it has been posed ,realising in a very disquieting recognition, that ignorance is bliss.
Fallibility and ambiguity mark my trial in this snow of early December both toward the subject at hand and ufology in a larger sense.
T.S Elliott could have been considering the non existant state of ufology when he put pen to paper and observed that "dust in the air suspended marks the place a story ended." The once promising field of scientific ufology is now the corpse of a still born equation, reanimated in a Frankenstein variation in bits and pieces crudely stitched and cobbled together with punditry and antedote. The truth of the matter is that we float aimlessly in the vacuum of ambiguity created by a conspiracy of silence by those we have ceded our freedom of inquiry to, those faceless technocrats who inside of their black boxes whose national security interests are self defined behind a veil of secrecy.
The seamless envelopment of the Reich's expertise behind the wall of an invisible elite, into a dark corridor of smoke and mirrors is evidentiary of a viral infection of Jeffersonian principles, blithely and brazenly mocked in a charade of twisted patriotism manipulated in a manner Dr Goebbels perfected, to an art of science.
The arms of Krupp have been modeled in their transplantation by the shared mutual interest of military industrialists and the military in a permanent state of production and profit. The Reich was masterful in it's exploitation of fear, whether it was manipulated toward an ethnic minority to exploit a failing economy or the expansion of it's territories by their creation of a illusionary threat as explemplified by Dr Goebbel's deft propaganda applied toward Russian and French 'treachery". The unilateral invasion of these countries is a mirror facing toward toward the past and future role of a game in which the truth and proof are a sociopathic board game of unwitting pawns,dupes and paid stooges.

So, in the midst of this, one is confronted with a sharp counter intuitive punctuation of fear,in the swift abdication of a chief technocrat, the above pictured Werner Von Braun from his post at NASA, very shortly after an odd discrepancy he accidentally inserted into an interview concerning the distance between the Earth and it's moon. Shortly thereafter, he shared a series of carefully parsed conversations with Dr Carol Rosen, in which he shared a uncanny knowledge of a prearranged propaganda campaign of manipulation whose aim was the introduction of weapon systems into space.
Werner expressed a fear that was evidenced as one that arose when he was pushed off the bus by his strong strong and undocumented objection to this program as well as his statements that this space weapons program was a foregone conclusion that required the placing into operations, three potential propaganistic campaigns as the central focus of a strategy of manipulation and misdirection..
The first arm of this hydra was fear of Russia being exploited in a propaganda campaign. The second, if the first failed, was the fear of terrorism. If the first two failed, the last and third strategy was one of a extraterrestrial invasion. If this is so, we seem to be between Phase Two and Three. One wonders if the sudden spurt of astronaut revelations are a portion of a carefully orchestrated manipulation of patriotic strings behind the scenes, in order to set up this scenario to fulfill this need, especially if, as Nick Cook theorised, the potentially demonically dangerous Wunderwaffe still being nurtured into maturity as the blackest of black projects.
Apparently the question Von Braun had asked himself is; "What have I created?" with the full belated recognition he had let the genie out of the bottle in the tunnel vision that always runs alongside blind ambition. Behind the barbed wire defences, protected by roving squads of sentries alerted by detection devices, in the vast desert plain of Nevada, Base 51 comes alive with activities akin to those observed as UFO sightings, under the cover of night.

Enter on stage right, the dark father of the H bomb, cue in the entrance of Dr Teller. We then look at another mask of banality that we have come to recognise as having another more intent and brooding persona of darkness as exemplified to nth degree by a virtual Dr Strangelove who possibly manipulated a fallible President Reagan by invoking " A menace greater than the nuclear arms race exists. It does not originate on earth but comes from space itself. The agent of mass destruction has no reasoning psychology other than the ultimate destruction of our civilization and our way of life as we know it"..."What is at stake is not only the prevention of defeat, but the prevention of cosmic war.."

Reagan shortly there after made a series of famously cyptic remarks that most are familiar with but are worth recalling, among them..."In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside of this world. And yet I ask -- is not an alien force already among us?"

However the is a much more earthbound and darker parallel stream running alongside the prophecies of propaganistic manipulation of Werner Von Braun being made manifest by Teller....that like that of a magician's rabbit being held in a ready position at the bottom of the hat.

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

Could it be possible to trigger what Kissinger in his manipulation of fear and that which Von Braun saw as the weaponisation of space as a twin-fold goal envisioned by the creation of a singular but entirely sham threat of an alien invasion by the utilisation of this black advanced technology? Are the Trojans, the final act in this play, hiding behind hidden mask of facism as our saviors, whilst exiting from a UFO? I am certain Dr Kissinger, the advisor to several Presidents, would rub his hands in glee.

What is interesting about this admittedly dark scenario, is that all things considered, it is as likely to be true than not. Why? Where is the proof? If someone had informed me that in the future, our neighbors, and in the most recent case, firemen, were authorised to conduct warrant less searches as an arm of domestic intelligence, I would have reasonably felt that this extreme scenario was more than far fetched. If you told me that domestic telephone calls were being wire tapped, I would have said that this is a case of paranoia or free floating anxiety. In the darkness of secrecy, our worst fears can be aroused in our collective imaginations that, also may be true.

In the house of mirrors that has been constructed, Eisenhower's words are recalled.." Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. "

Whether or not this scenario is true or not cannot be verified. In the final analysis, perhaps this is yet one more example of a ambivalent situation lodged between proof and truth, not only in ufology, but perhaps more importantly, as it is demonstrated in the role of a government who prefers a shield of ambiguity, which is also evidence of a sense of entitlement, or, more accurately self justification especially when it is our friends hiding in black boxes , rather than we, who write the rules of the game, when applying the illusionary shadows of proof and truth.

For Whom The Bell Tolls: Part Two

2007-11-28T15:40:00.000-08:00

One of the many counter intuitive legends concerning the collapse of the Third Reich was that the technocratic elite were over run by events and were essentially clueless as to the impending disintegration of the governmental frame work which funded and supported their experimental research and development in scalar physics. Nothing could be further from the truth, as there is evidenced, a General Plan of Evacuation. How something as fundamental as preparation for this calamity would escape the most technically gifted individuals is certainly refuted by the Odessa Group, The Rope and others. Historically, the increasingly psychotic Hitler, the once and future windshield mascot, was seen as one fundamentally to be side stepped and abandoned in order to perpetuate this work through the Nazi International in exile, largely confined to Peron's Argentina. Another part of the historical record outside of Operation Paperclip, and the debriefing records from the British interrogations at Farm Hall, are a series of open ended mysteries. One took place on May 19, 1945 at Portsmith Naval Yard when the German submarine U-234 was escorted and her cargo unloaded, which interestingly did not appear on any USN Unloading Manifest, while it was generally thought to be the transfer of uranium from the Reich. One interesting and obscure historical fact that testifies to the highly advanced technology was that the Nazi's had perfected stealth sheathing for their Kreigsmarine, which was later incorporated into U.S designs. Again, the transfer of technology. The second "well documented" and astonishing fact is that two U-Boats surfaced in South America, some four months after the war ended despite the fact, they were only capable of a 7,000 mile nautical range. A ridiculous cover story of "dropping off" crew members at home was the rationale however, this in turn led to an even more ridiculous theory that the Nazi's had built bases in the Antarctic. The third most striking mystery is the last flight of a highly advanced aircraft known as the Jungers Ju390, which took off from Prague in April of 1945.This aircraft, once again, far beyond Allied technology at the time, was capable of mid air refueling.

It stopped interestingly enough just outside of the area wherein the mysterious Bell was located and then refueled in at a base in Norway, only to vanish from sight from the historical record. However, there is a reasonable amount of evidence to suggest this was the tactical operation known as project Lantern Bearer. Interstingly, Argentina's President Peron established and built a brand new plasma and high energy experimental laboratory at Bariloche to be utilised by the exiled Nazi scientists. As we know from the historical record, nearly every technocrat from the Reich utilised a bargaining process in dealing with their victors, particularly the U.S. How successful they were depended on what they had to bargain with. Many, including this cabal led by Von Braun did not share the same fate as Himmler in his doomed negotiations.

Certainly, the Bell as it was considered to be the highest black project in the Reich would be an extremely valuable chip. Another mystery is the fate of a potential passenger on the flight of Ju390 along with General Kammler, the records and possibly the Bell itself. This would be the mastermind, the highly connected Martin Bormann.

Writer Ladislas Farago's widely-known 1974 book Aftermath: Martin Bormann and the Fourth Reich argued that Bormann had survived the war and lived in Argentina. Farago's evidence, which drew heavily on official governmental documents, was compelling enough to persuade Dr. Robert M. W. Kempner (a lawyer at the Nuremberg Trials) to briefly re-open an active investigation in 1972, but Farago's claims were generally rejected by historians and critics. Allegations that Bormann and his organization survived the war figure prominently in the work of David Emory. Did Bormann have a extraordinary bargaining chip with the U.S which was negotiated from the sheltering of the Peron regime? One wonders if the exchange of highly classified research material in a bargain with the Devil himself, aka Paperclip transpired. If it did, should it ever be made public, there would certainly be an uproar. By the way, many Paperclip papers are still classified nearly sixty years on. I think I have a good guess as to why. In addition, the taint of Nazi ideology virally infected this country. During the Dirty War which accompanied the 1976-1983 military dictatorship, there were about 100 places throughout the country that served as concentration camps in the Nazi sense, where people were interrogated, tortured, and killed, but not forced to work or concentrated for eventual release. Prisoners were often forced to hand and sign over property, in acts of individual, rather than official and systematic, corruption. Small children who were taken with their relatives, and babies born to female prisoners later killed, were frequently given for adoption to politically acceptable, often military, families. This is documented by a number of cases dating since the 1990s in which adopted children have identified their real families.

We now come full circle and return once again to our ardent Nazi SS Officer Kurt Debus whom his superior SS Officer Werner Von braun selected as Launch Director for what is now the Kennedy Space Center.However, this gentleman interestingly had no real expertise with rocketry. His expertise was in magnetic field seperation and he was well known in certain circles for his pioneering experiments in this field concerning high voltage discharge at AEG. Another coincidence?
Polish Historian Herbert Limpinski was given access to the pre-declassified transcripts held at Farm hall, which provides an interesting exchange between Debus and Bormann which took place in 1944 and the topic was the Wunderwaffe. Such words as "atomic nuclei", "extraterrestrial space," "magnetic fields" and "earth's gravitational field" sound like references to something far more exotic than rockets or atomic bombs. In the below photograph, Debus is in his newly found honorable position of authority on the far left. No doubt, the harmless grandfatherly type.

In fact, this black project conducted in scalar physics within the Reich was certainly strange, as one of the main ingredients in this ceramic dual centrifuge, which was, not surprisingly,the speciality of the strangely silent and aforementioned Nobel scientist, Dr Gerlach who speciality was "the fluorescence of mercury ions in a strong magnetic field" In other words, the behavior of a mercuric plasma, or the spin of ionised mercury. Dr Samuel Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb was also deeply concerned about this legendary "red mercury" many decades later, considering it would make, when irradiated, a jell like substance, that is potentially, in effect, a portable neutron bomb. At that time the concern was focused on Russia.

Under the SS Obergruppen Fuher, the very untraceable and mysterious Emil Mazuw, this black project concerning field propulsion, coded as " Chronos" or "Laterntrager" within scalar physics had a team assembled and in place. Dr Debus was in charge of not surprisingly, high voltage discharge,,Dr Gerlach was the expert in spin polarisation, magnetism and gravity, and Dr Oberth was the in house space flight theorist.Another mystery is the virtually untraceable Dr Elizabeth Adler, known only as a "mathematician" Certainly it appears that some records historical in nature have the appearance of having gone intentionally missing. This project was the creation of a trap for a plasma vortex.
Many years later you could see the two main components of this redeveloped rig at The Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion in Warsaw, minus the original's critical twin centrifuges.
These initial trials apparently, were fraught with problems. Note the similarity of symptoms with "UFO" encounters.Interestingly too, are the required construction of shielded underground facilities due to ionising radiation, which bear a more than coincidental resemblance to potentially misinterpreted or misinformation terminology akin to "alien bases". Another one of those interesting ironies, the Nazi's had perfected, late in the war, the development of such sophisticated underground facilities...in fact, so well, there was a great deal of difficulty determining not only how many there were but where they were located as well, at the conclusion of the war. Despite being fully grounded in this energy field with full rubber suits and protective eye wear, nearly everyone connected with this project apparently fell ill due to the ignorance of radiant energy. Plants had a bad reaction as well either having turned brown, exploding or at worst, they were turned into a colorless mush. The biological symptoms sound oddly familiar, yes?

Symtoms:
1. Headaches
2. Metallic taste in mouth. This one is particularly of interest.
3.Formication, or "pricking sensations"
4. Interruption of sleep patterns.
5. Loss of balance.

One must ask oneself to look back upon and revisit some "unexplained" incidents

1964: New Mexico-The Zamora Incident

1980:Texas-The Cash\Landrum Incident

1965:The Pennsylvania-The Kecksburg Incident

I highly recommend three books that formed the basis of this post.
One is by the brilliant researcher, unknown to most Ufologists,Mr Igor Witkowski.
http://www.igorwitkowski.com/
Another is Nick Cook's "The Hunt For Zero Point"
Another is "Reich of The Black Sun" by Joesph Farell.

In the concluding post, we will hear the fate and fears of a dying Werner Von Braun, Dr Edward Teller's letter to President Reagan on Space Defense Systems and the odd Swiss Corporation held by every key player of the oil industry, as well as "NASA as directed by the Defense Industrial Security Command."...the enigmatic Permindex Corporation. So, I ask again, who won World War Two? Perhaps no one. Once the taint of paranoia (should we prefer to call this reasonable curiosity?) has been applied, one recalls a certain well known government physicist who is has displayed a propensity to be a one note symphony in applying a ufological twist to this situation by the application of laying on purported and largely disproven government documents with a heavy trowel? Misdirection of attention in a camouflaging scenario of a highly black project? What about the application of alleged alien writing to test drones...when found, if found, they certainly appear alien enough to those who may come upon them until they are retrieved by specialised personnel..you say it was what, from where? Ha Ha says the clown...What about those bouncing lights above area 51, the back engineered alien craft alledgedly seen by a cloyingly disinformed patsy? Unwittingly mislead or intentionally misleading? Take your pick. Is not the result the same?

Are we being led by the nose into a downward cycle of entropy within a deepening rut of smoke and mirrors intentionally placed to confound, based on a classic intelligence propaganda merry go round pioneered by Dr Goebbels? On either side, it's highly as likely as anything else that I am a willing dupe.

Part One: For Whom The Bell Tolls

2007-11-28T07:05:00.000-08:00

I often wonder who won World War 2, especially when one considers the Nazi nightmare and how successfully the technocrats of that regime skillfully hid and readapted their viral technocratic skills to a variety of high level posts, as Kurt Waldheim (pictured above) did so admirably as Secretary General of The United Nations.
When I was still a teenager, prompted by my own highly personal quest for truth, in regard to what and whom I am, like many others before me, I became involved and drank deeply from the work of G.I Gurdjieff, who felt that such a quest would invariably and inevitably lead one full circle toward oneself.
As many of you know, my search for an appropriate framework to investigate a conceptual model of the UFO phenomenon has led, perhaps not surprisingly, both to perspective of observation of this phenomenon as it arouses our own reactive stance, as it allows us to view ourselves from it's vantage point, as well as to an odd synthesis of quantum physics and Jungian psychology to account for the myriad of ADD like phantasms which arise from the obscuring veil of smoke that we surround ourselves with to account for something we blithely term reality.
However, there is a darker, more impenetrable shadow world that underlies the surface of this quest that I often have commented in this site and others that I look away from, discount and perhaps, it just could be, I am just as blithely whistling past the graveyard like Hamlet nervously looking over his shoulder , I intuit, all is not well in this proverbial country of Denmark.
In the chill November air in the far way Ludwigsdorf, there is a Stonehenge of a test rig kind which increasingly haunts me as part of a much larger ruins of a Nazi experimental complex near the Furstenstein Castle, home of the mythical Wunderwaffe.

I am also haunted by the strange self inflicted silence of a Nobel Prize winning gravitational scientist, Dr Walter Gerlach, who was a major contributor to the Nazi creation of this odd and enigmatic experimentation and who, according to some, was frightened or coerced into silence and abruptly abandoned his life's work after the war, and for all purposes and consciously sank into obscurity.

The persistent rumour that all but afew of the scientists involved with this experiment were purposefully assassinated by the SS with the exception of Dr Gerlach and afew others. One reconsiders the odd coincidental rash of deaths experienced by a fairly substantial group of British researchers associated with the Space Defense Strategy. Free floating paranoia and anxiety in an age of secrecy is understandably abundant, whether it is warranted or not.

I also remember in the vague recesses of my memory, an photograph of none other than Kenneth Arnold, proudly holding up an artists recreation of what he confronted in the sky, not a saucer but something entirely different, was this not so? I went back to look. One also recalls the rapid disintegration of the Third Reich, the enormous and furious race to capture the elites of advanced Nazi science and examples of their leading edge superiority in the military application of technological science. Many examples were returned to the opposing sides of the once allied countries to study, examine and test. Do we have a full accounting of all? Could it be that some were considered too important to national security interests that they remain obscured or unknown?

Anyone familiar with the Nazi Horton V4?

Another consideration in all this which looms large in the mental landscape is a disturbing book by Nick Cook, of Janes Defense Weekly entitled "The Hunt for Zero Point", which brings us back to that concrete henge, which may, or may not have some relation to the Kecksburg incident. What we are referring to is an odd ceramic bell that is a casing for a hybrid centrifuge of sorts, powered by an enormous quantity of electrical voltages, supposedly capable of creating, among other things, its own gravity field as well as an enormous potential as a weapons platform for plasma weaponry.

We will explore these coincidences further in detail in Part Two, as well as a look into some of the most influential scientists who formulated NASA.Among them Arthur Rudolph, chief operations director at Nordhausen, where 20,000 slave labourers died producing V-2 missiles, he triumphantly led the team which built the Saturn V rocket. Described as "100 per cent Nazi, dangerous type".
Kurt Debus, rocket launch specialist, another SS officer. His report stated: "He should be interned as a menace to the security of the Allied Forces."
Hubertus Strughold, later called "the father of space medicine", designed Nasa's on-board life-support systems. Some of his subordinates conducted human "experiments" at Dachau and Auschwitz, where inmates were frozen and put into low-pressure chambers, often dying in the process. And the paperclip which secured their new details in their personnel files gave the whole operation its name. Sixty years on, the legacy of Paperclip remains as vital as ever. With its radar-absorbing carbon impregnated plywood skin and swept-back single wing, the 1944 Horten Ho 229 was arguably the first stealth aircraft.
The Stealth bomber: Based on a 1944 German design The US military made one available to Northrop Aviation, the company which would produce the $2bn B-2 Stealth bomber - to all intents and purposes a modern clone of the Horten - a generation later. Cruise missiles are still based on the design of the V-1 missile and the scramjets powering Nasa's state-of-the-art X-43 hypersonic aircraft owe much to German jet pioneers. Added to this, the large number of still-secret Paperclip documents has led many people, including our freind Nick Cook, Aerospace Consultant at Jane's Defence Weekly, to speculate that the US may have developed even more advanced Nazi technology, including anti-gravity devices, a potential source of vast amounts of free energy. Cook says that such technology "could be so destructive that it would endanger world peace and the US decided to keep it secret for a long time".
Most importantly, we will take a very close look at this gentleman.

UFOs indeed.

Is There Synchronicity Afoot In UFO Flaps?

2007-11-23T11:26:00.000-08:00

According to Wikipedia, Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small. If we consider this as an operating bias that is responsible for the behavioral manifestation of UFO sightings, this theory certainly appears to be a reasonable framework to consider if one is to identify an operating principal behind them. As in the old quantum example of the tree falling in a forest when there is no observer present, one certainly may take into consideration that perhaps the event of a sighting or encounter while on the surface may appear to be acausal.

On the other hand, in varying degrees either amplified or discounted by the values of the observer, we could reach out on a fairly tangible branch and make a critical assumption, yes these appearances are meaningful. If this is so, then we may ask what precipitates, in the term of synchronicity, an encounter?

Is there a predisposition of openess toward such an experience in the latent observer? If so, what are the factors required to create a sighting and let's say since no individual exists alone in a vacuum but rather part of the larger organism of humanity, then there is a multiplying factor that perhaps is a characteristic in the sense that a bias toward both an individuals validation of a non consensus predisposition, as well as the sum total of those so disposed, may be a significant state of potential, that then is acted upon, once manifested, by an increase in attention focused on the phenomenon by mass media, word of mouth etc, in a quantum phenomenon akin to expotential increase by cubing, etc.

Is this why there are flaps, or a bell curve of sightings in an geographic area that once recognised, is amplified in this sense, in other words, as time progresses in this process, the tipping edge or threshold between consensus reality and non consensus reality reaches a critical mass , which then results in an escalating series of manifestations in a quantum process that is result of a reciprocal, interconnection between mind and matter. Does this then have long term effects that can cause more potential for similar events to occur in the future?

Alan Vaughan, author of Incredible Coincidence: The Baffling World of Synchronicity (Ballantine) calls "the synchronicity of synchronicity." Just having an active interest in the matter seems to make synchronicities happen more often -- in part, of course, because we notice them more."

If so, then there also seems to be a need for a symbolic representation that operates on a consensus model of what such a manifestation should appear to be, whether it is an airship, a missle, a saucer, or a stealth, delta winged, silent craft. These images are amplified back into consensus reality by repetition, perhaps as much as the various prototypes of aliens are, which then they manifest as we conceptualise them in this squared amplification of consensus reality, as feedback.

Again, however in this game field we can play or be played...so this phenomenon, if exploited by a technology capable of measuring the reactive nature of the observer could independently derive significant information to create a phenomenon that effectively masks itself. So this may be the chicken or the egg, or the chicken\egg hybrid being an alien concoction.

As Meg Lundstrom reported, "Some synchronicities are not the delivery of objects but of insights: something in the outer world crystallizes or confirms an inner process. Those synchronicities can "feel" much like intuition: it’s sudden information perceived by the psyche and experienced as true. "They’re both messages, but one is internal and one external," says John Graham, a former foreign officer who with his wife, Ann Medlock, runs the Giraffe Project, an intrepid organization in Langley, Washington, that recognizes people who stick their necks out for the common good. The organization lives hand to mouth on donations, but John intuitively knows when a big check is in the morning mail, and the amount is often synchronistically the exact amount they need to pay a pressing bill. "Synchronicity and intuition are saying the same thing, it’s just as if one were speaking French and the other Spanish," he says."

So, if this were so, could a survey conducted today based on a large sample of participants who had as a consensus, a recognition of the UFO phenomenon as being a valid exterior manifestation of their inner reality, predict, by the inner aspect of synchronicity...their intuition.... the major manifestation of a UFO flap accurately?

Part Three: Quantum Ufology

2007-11-20T09:33:00.001-08:00

"Well, let me quote from Newton about this, even though we're talking quantum physics. Literally, I feel like a child at a seashore, when it comes to seeing where quantum physics is pointing. I feel like we're on the verge of a gigantic discovery -- maybe the nature of God, maybe the nature of the human spirit. Something of that sort is going to emerge from this, because our normal notions -- in fact the notions upon which we think science makes any sense at all, the notions of space and time and matter -- they just are breaking down, they're just falling apart, like tissue paper before our eyes. Wet tissue paper; it isn't even good tissue paper. It doesn't hold anything up anymore. So we're beginning to see that -- for example, in classical physics the idea that the past influences the presence is pretty normal. Everybody says, "Oh, of course."
-Physicist Dr Fred Alan Wolf

"What now is the answer to the question as to the bridge between the perception of the senses and the concepts, which is now reduced to the question as to the bridge between the outer perceptions and those inner image-like representations. It seems to me one has to postulate a cosmic order of nature— outside of our arbitrariness— to which the outer material objects are subjected as are the inner images... The organizing and regulating has to be posited beyond the differentiation of physical and psychical... I am all for it to call this 'organizing and regulating' 'archetypes.' It would then be inadmissible to define these as psychic contents. Rather, the above-mentioned inner pictures (dominants of the collective unconscious, see Jung) are the psychic manifestations of the archetypes, but which would have to produce and condition all nature laws belonging to the world of matter. The nature laws of matter would then be the physical manifestation of the archetypes."

Nobel Physicist Wolfgang Pauli Letter to Markus Fierz (1948)

"...get off the wheel for a moment, discover where you are, and make a conscious wakeful decision about whether you want to get back on that wheel or not. Using our awareness, we can process the events that are happening to us. Otherwise, we are passive, unconscious witnesses of our fates." - Dr Arnold Mindell

In a quantum model of Ufology, it will be helpful to analyse the game field of reality in a immeasurable world with a process orientation.

Sometimes we can play the game field and sometimes the game field plays us.

Consensus reality derives from statistical averages, repeatable applications and above all measurable.

Non consensus reality is in Taoist terms, inexpressible at its root. this is an important distinction. We cycle between the non consensus reality in a dream state which is curved and the linear consensus reality is linear and explicitly unfolds in a waking position in this cycle.

Consensus reality is like a fence around a house. As G Spencer Brown observed; "In reality, it is all the same. In reality, it is a matter of indifference, but we are not here in reality. We are here on a system of assumptions, and we are all busy maintaining them. On that system, then we can say, "Well, that will keep the ship afloat, and this will pull the plug out and we will all sink."

There appears to be a growing trend as evidenced by Dr Wolfs commentary at the top of the page, that non consensus reality is beginning to seriously undercut it's consensus cousin. Ufology appears to be an edge of sorts in this transitional age of science.

In quantum theory, we see greys, dwarves, nordics, airships saucers, stealth wedges as non existent as well as all being true.

This process operates by consensus in a feedback loop that directly correlates to cultural development by providing a non consensus event in a consensus form.

In quantum terms, our minds are an observational participant in a universe that is sentient and self reflecting in nature. You could say from the uncertainty principal, the universe is seeking consensus reality by our attraction and hunt for energy in it's many different forms.

These non consensus events are termed "quantum flirting" by Physicist Dr Arnold Mindell. We see this process consistently in Ufology wherein quasi human prototypes are foundational and culturally derived from consensus, which is then modified by ones own individuated admixture of non consensus interpretation.

Complex numbers imply that in the background of what we term consensus reality, you could say the universe is dreaming. Also in quantum mechanics, we can see the mathematical models of addition be transferable in psychological terms to amplification, in other words in the development of consensus reality as influenced by the non consensus, we are the bias in this process.

By the nature of our own individuated conceptual models derived from culture, we adapt the explicit consensus experience, it's model or archetype, according to our own varying amplifications of either the same or a non consensus understanding.

By working this problem in reverse, from a reported observation, if this is true, one should be able to determine with a certain reasonable accuracy, the conceptual model the observer used to derive his experience as impressioned on a quantum event.

This is also an interesting indication of a unique human evolutionary process. We may be living in a house with innumerable variants of rooms, however, we have created by consensus, an awareness of self entrapment that confines the edge or threshold to afew appliances in the kitchen although we have no idea what they are for or how they operate.

In quantum theories of consciousness we observe an admixture of the imagined and the explicit in what we term reality are simply projections of the self which are a dynamic between a consensus reality and a non consensus experience.

In this case,we are co-creators of sensate, observable materiality.

All the quasi humanoids are real but only in the sense that whatever materiality of appearance or behavior is a projection of consensus reality upon a unique, one time event.

However, I do think it reasonable to assume that the participating observer is the common linkage between phantasms of the paranormal and if this is so I think it also reasonable to consider experimental tampering with consensus reality on a small scale, and observe what returns in this process, which will be the subject of my next post.

Carl Jung in a letter to Wolfgang Pauli neatly summarizes a Quantum model's relevance as a potential tool to Ufology...to unravel the highly variable witness accounts of both craft and their quasi human controllers.

"The psyche…as a medium participates in both Spirit and
Matter. I am convinced that it (the psyche) is partly of a material
nature. The archetypes, for example, are Ideas (in the Platonic sense)
on the one hand, and yet are directly connected with physiological
processes on the other; and in cases of synchronicity they are
arrangers of physical circumstances, so that they can also be
regarded as a characteristic of Matter (as the feature which imbues it
with meaning)."

Part Two of : Bias and Phantasms Alien To Our Experience

2007-11-18T11:04:00.001-08:00

One of the under reported and ignored aspects of the phenomenon known as alien abduction are the cases of a witness being present who was unaffected by either alien activities or, for that matter, the experience itself. The reason for this as demonstrated in several cases is the fact that the subject was seen in bed asleep during the experience or even more disconcerting, was found lying on the ground while an "abduction" was taking place in real time when the brain activity of these subjects are in a state unique to sleep. One wonders if this state of unconscious sensate awareness is a precondition that illustrates a form of downtime for information processing that also provides an opportunistic window. Ninety percent of all abductions take place at night. Another aspect of this is the element of missing time, which may not necessarily be due to the subject being absent, but rather having an episode of split consciousness in a unique physiological state. However some discernment is called for in terms of jumping to any premature conclusion as to the root cause of this phenomenon. One of the most fascinating aspects is the organic aspect of the cerebral cortex and the theoretical sequencing of synaptic activity in a quantum state, which suggests a non local source of consciousness as well as a gateway to be potentially tampered with in the intermediate state of potential and probability. In other words, this may be the locus of a highly sophisticated form, of an as yet unrecognised mechcanism to account for having been abducted while proverbially never leaving home. This would certainly be, if true, a highly efficent form of procedure to conduct covert experimentation as to sampling reactive behaviors. One hears faint echoes of Robert Monroe, remote viewing etc.In the next post I will explore quantum theory in the midst of these evidential accounts as a framework to theorise further. However, for the time being perhaps some perspective is due.

One of the many examples of psychological exploration that prematurely manifested into a dualistic and competing set of paradigms is perhaps best illustrated in the intellectual and territorial postures held between the adherents of Freudian and Jungian theories in regard to that intangible organ for the digestion of experience, the persona, or personality.
While Freud attempted the penetration into the reactive nature in the formulation of personality as a learned behavior from the observational cues in childhood, Jung explored another operating system in this hierarchy of processing information,which was the interpenetration of cultural symbolism as a common denominator which was then individuated as integrated into personality as variants of archetypes.
Freud expressed a sympathetic yet firm disavowal of Jung's conceptual model as he feared the newly manifested psychological art would" descend into the black swamp of occultism."
Or course with the retroactive hindsight of our own epoch, we can reasonably observe that these two theories were not mutually exclusive.
Perhaps a similar parallel of this dynamic can be observed between the materialist and the metaphysical theoretical schools of ufology. Perhaps these , as in our previous example are, in fact, two sides of the same well worn coin.
As this dynamic entanglement of apparently oppositional theories unfolds, one grasps this is a reflective shadow of the worldview of paradigms derived from classical material physics which is being transformed by the introduction of quantum mechanics.
From our sensate experience, we intuit there is something, a key characteristic that somehow eludes both classical and quantum schools of philosophical science as well as in ufology, that eludes all of us, thus creating by default, a common cause for a unified field theory which models conceptual reality.
The inability to measure, quantify, calculate or evaluate in order to predict with any certainty the behavior of this phenomenon has positioned the traditional sciences to a stance of a defensive last redoubt, whose downfall would crack the impenetrable dogma of self referential boundaries., Whilst wearing garlands of proverbial garlic that denies and defends their cultural grip on self professed objectivity, traditional science is apparently cut off at the knees by rationalising timidity.
On the other hand, we have, to a large extent, an instinctual aversion in ufology to explore the commonalities of phenomenon that may share a common operating fabric, while manifested in delimiting definitions that are referential shorthand such as ghosts, alien abductions, aerial objects etc.

The quasi-humanoid appearance of archetypes such as the Nordic type, the dwarf type or the grey type have a commonality of manifestation whether it be a cultural tracking mechanism or if this is an individuated imprint upon a proverbial clay inherent on a surface that reflects the preexisting social bias of the individual.
Are there common characteristics between the phantoms known as ghosts and the phantoms known as alien abductors? Is there a common theoretical foundation shared by both the classic possession by sociopathic, hungry ghosts to recapture sensate embodiment through an individual and the induction of a abduction scenario in a dream state as to provoke a sampling of reactive paradigms in a possibly alien design? Whether it is reported as the capability to penetrate solid objects or to manifest at will, are there unknown natural processes that can be utilised, synthesized or manipulated to engender a tangible imprint...upon material reality while on a parrallel path, transforming the reciprocal root of activity in an intangible psyche...are they two sides of a non dualistic coin?

Everyone who has utilised their knowledge of electrical technology to wire a simple circuit knows that there is a positive, a negative and a ground leg that must be reciprocally interdependent to manifest something as simple as the irradiation of a light bulb. which is in effect, a reconciliation of these three aspects of a phenomenon, or manifestation. One affirms, one denies and the last reconciles the other two as a proverbial Holy Ghost. We are in search of a factor of reconciliation where the raw material of the tangible is unified to the intangible processes of probability, potential and choice through the introduction of bias made manifest in the reconciliation of these two circumstances. Whether they be Nordics, greys or Auntie Em, all of these phantasms may only be individuated by either their natural occurrence as in the example of a electrical field such as surrounds the earth, or the intentional and synthetic manipulation of this self same field to light a light bulb. Same process, differing causation.

Can we borrow from our kind neighbors in differing fields, some tools to explore these common characteristics, or further, is it possible we need a multi-disciplinary approach that would refine the conceptual models we utilise to theorise upon alien abductions? In Part Three, we will examine some possibilities.
