At The Edge Of Reality
A
Lecture by Jim Keith
The
following talk was delivered by the late Jim Keith in Atlanta,
Georgia in November, 1995 and was published in Paranoia's
special øPeople's Think TankÓ Issue 17, in Fall, 1997.
What I
intend to explore today are some of my own thoughts and opinions
about the nature of UFOs and aliens and reality, based
upon an interest that goes back to about 1957. I'm going to
focus on some material suggesting that UFOs and ETs walk a
fine line between reality and thought (or awareness). This
is not to suggest, however, that this is an illusory experience.
I don't believe that the UFO experience is illusory. I want
to explore what you might call the edge of manifestation of
this UFO phenomena.
I'm not suggesting
that UFOs and aliens are imaginary, nor will I pledge that
they are always completely, materially, solidly "real."
Actually, I think that their existence challenges the tightly-formulated
definitions of reality and imagination, and points up the
limitations of those definitions. It seems to me that UFOs
sometimes happily cross these lines of demarcation, and defy
the definitions. The way they do this gives us some clues
to the something else, to the nature of reality, what is really
real and what is possible, in terms of the understanding and
potential expansion of awareness.
Reality is an
amorphous concept. My experience suggests that there is an
in-between realm in this universe or omniverse where thought
and matter meet, like one of those paradoxical graphics by
the Dutch artist M.C. Escher, where thought and matter coalesce
and partake of each other, where matter manifests from pure
awareness, where reality takes form... and that the nurturing
bed where matter, reality and, incidentally, where UFOs and
ETs manifest, is what we might loosely call awareness, or
the mind.
When I say "mind,"
I'm not limiting that to the purely physical conception, to
the computer which resides behind your forehead, the electrical
activity sparking in your brain pan, or whatever, because
that is a limited and limiting conception. If we stick with
that, we're not going to accomplish what I want, which is
to provide a little more familiarity with this borderland
reality, with the interface between thought and material solidity.
When I use the
term mind I am talking about awareness in a generalized sense,
in a theoretically absolute sense. My own belief is that awareness
is not necessary limited to an awareness resident in the body,
in a meat body. You can believe anything you want, but anyone
who has any experience with meditation, with hallucinogens,
or with ritual magic is going to have a sense of what I'm
suggesting. Awareness, as far as I am concerned, and in my
own experience, ultimately has no limitations whatsoever,
beyond the limitations which it conceives for itself. Awareness
is potentially a creator, and it can create freedoms and it
can create limitations. Awareness, interestingly enough, creates
its own conception of itself, which is what it then proceeds
to be.
I just want you
to try on the concept that awareness may not proceed from
solid reality. In fact, I'm not certain that I could prove
this to you unless you were willing to entertain this possibility
and play around with it a little bit yourself. If you think
that the possibilities which I have mentioned are absolutely
impossible, then you are maintaining that the beliefs and
knowledge of this insignificant tidepool of awareness, the
planet Earth, determine the possibilities of the entire universe.
This has a corollary which UFO aficionados are often vocally
decrying; the absurdity of people who believe that life could
only exist on one planet in this vast universe.
I'm also saying
that awareness, very loosely defined, is senior to solid matter.
It stands above solid matter. Awareness creates thought and
belief and, ultimately I think is the creator of solid matter.
Reality, I believe, is defined and created from this immaterial
plane of thought and mind. I think that you create the entirety
of your physical reference, and the only reason this isn't
obvious to everyone is that one also creates the belief that
one can't create or even influence physicality to the slightest
degree with the mind.
You create your
own reality entirely. In addition, you create yourself according
to whatever template you choose, in whatever body you choose,
on whatever planet you choose, based upon your belief structures.
It follows that if you create your own reality, you change
your beliefs about what you can and can't do, can and can't
experience, can and can't see, and you can change your reality.
You can re-structure your own experience entirely, change
your identity entirely, and experience anything whatsoever
that you wish. This is perfectly true, at least in my own
experience and belief structure.
Reality. The word
is a semantic absurdity. Reality, according to my American
Heritage dictionary, is "the quality or state of being
actual or true." When you look up "actual"
or "true" you find that defined as "consistent
with... reality." The definition goes in circles, and
is never grounded in anything that is separate and verifiable.
The problem is that the concept of reality is indefinable,
and the concept of something being "real" is dependent
upon proving that something is "real" with a verifiable
existence which is apart from some subjective belief or illusion.
Something that can be nailed down using a disinterested measuring
stick of comparison.
So far as I know,
it is impossible to do this with any aspect of reality or
of thought. The reason for this can be exhibited by hauling
forth the standard argument one encounters for the existence
of something called "reality." I don't know how
many times I've heard this one. You're talking to the guy
at the party and presenting your crazy ideas about how reality
isn't real, and the guy stands up and [bangs on the podium].
"See," he says, "this is real. This is solid.
This is reality! Try and disprove that!"
The point is that
knocking on something, feeling something, feeling the weight
of something, does not prove its existence, because you are
proving its existence with something which is essentially
identical, that is, a solid hand is impacting with a solid
podium. You have not removed yourself from the context of
that existence and compared it with "reality." It
might as well be meaningless babble that takes place in a
dream. You might as well be dreaming that you're banging your
hand against a podium and hearing the rap in the dream. In
fact, every time you do that, pound on the podium, you are
dreaming in a sense, because solidity, solid reality, is not
the basis of reality.
You can dream
that you're touching solidity, you can imagine it, and in
fact, once you start working with this thing called imagination,
once you regularly exercise your ability to dream up realities
and all of the perceptions which are allied with them, you'll
also be exercising your ability to mold and transform this
one, that which you've considered to be your original reality.
You'll be able to change your reality and everyone else's
in any manner you wish. That might seem like a contradiction,
but I don't think it is: that you can change another person's
reality. The reason it seems like a contradiction is that
you are identifying your awareness with the limited definition
of being fixated in a single physical body. You're really
not stuck. In my experience, there really is no "other"
whose reality toes you're going to step on if you get a little
too frisky with your awareness play, but it is one awareness
inhabiting a multitude of bodies. At least until you change
that conception. So the "truth" about "reality,"
bottom line, is that there ain't no such beast. Reality is
only what we believe it to be.
Reality is only
a contingency of awareness. The fact that ten people or a
thousand people believe the same thing, does not render the
thing any more real in an absolute sense, but it does point
out the structural underpinning of the determinant of this
illusion called reality, what causes it to manifest in the
shapes and forms that it does; and that determinant, that
reality-shapers called 'belief.' What people believe down
deep is what they consider to be reality, and also what they
experience. Sometimes this can be different from what they
say they believe.
The existence
of UFOs can be voted down due to the relative rarity of the
experience and its sometimes insubstantial character. It's
the same thing with people who study conspiracy politics.
You look into this subject and it becomes quite apparent that
the world is run on conspiratorial lines: Rockefeller, Rothschilds,
regardless of what Rush says. But the conspiracy is outvoted
by the pundits in the media who know better without having
actually researched the subject, and so it's not true, it's
not real.
What can be accomplished
by playing around with belief systems? I think that we can
remove finally all barriers to perception, to creation, and
theoretically come up with an unlimited awareness, capable
of knowing anything, capable of doing anything, and one which
is totally free of limiting definition. This naturally smacks
of conceptions of godhood, but I'm not trying to get religious
here. I'm saying that this is part of the spectrum of possibilities
of awareness.
Human beings are
part of the spectrum of possible awareness manifestations;
snails are another. And in this latter portion of the 20th
century, mankind has come up with enough smarts where it is
possible to attain states of awareness which were hitherto
unimagined, at least by the majority of awareness points on
the planet. Of course, this is a belief structure in itself
that I am communicating: that we are on this planet, that
we are human, that we have certain awareness characteristics,
that we possess bodies, that there is such a thing as time
and human evolution.
Awareness is a
fascinating thing and in my belief, if consciousness, which
has been localized on the planet Earth, would finally begin
to flow a little it would be liberated from some of its former
boundaries and self conceptions. Awareness just won't stay
in a localized, fixated condition and position forever. That's
its nature. The human condition is an interesting thing. I
thought about just what the human condition is, what a human
body is, what this fleshly container for our awareness is,
and I think I've had some insight on this. It occurred to
me that a real reality, something that you know is true, is
more satisfying to awareness than simply a dream or a work
of art or a movie, let's say. It's far more interesting to
an awareness to be involved in something which is real, something
unchangeable, something which cannot be denied, a true story,
let's say. And that's what the human body is all about. It
is the awareness creating itself solidly inside of the drama,
the awareness play, making itself a solid portion of the play
so that the drama is real!
The awareness
of death even creates itself within the illusion that when
the reality creation ends, when the structuralization ends,
the awareness ceases to exist, This doesn't actually seem
to be the case. But the solid creation of the human body,
pinch me so that I know I'm not dreaming, is based upon interest.
So long as you are an omniscient awareness which exists outside
of its creation, knowingly having created or creating that
reality or game or whatever, it's not half as interesting.
You know that it's illusion, it's a game, a movie, it's pretend.
You, the awareness, know that it's a form of play that you're
experiencing and that it really doesn't ultimately matter.
But to pretend that it's real, true, that its reality, to
put yourself in the 3-D holographic picture and say that you
had no hand in its creation and that the physical creation
in fact was responsible for creating you, that you were born
into it and had no hand in the creation of the drama, now
that makes for some real involvement, some real fun even if
it's only of the tragicomic sort!
Ultimately, consciousness
has to flow. It works like a rushing stream of events. No
single, localized event ultimately has any meaning; only its
localized meaning. It draws its meaning from the larger context.
As we expand in terms of our own self conception, as we free
ourselves from self created barriers and limitations, you
might say that we are refamiliarizing ourselves with the energy
of the ocean of awareness, rather than fixating on the energy
swirlings locked in the little tide pool, the tide pool of
Homo Sapiens conception and delusion at the tail end of the
20th century.
There seems to
be a cover-up going on about the fact that awareness creates
reality, is actually in charge of reality, and that awareness
has the capability of creating a belief that something is
solid and then perceiving it that way. Who's doing the cover-up?
Well, scientists I suppose, and the guys who don't believe
in ESP and the paranormal, and of course if people believe
this there wouldn't be any religions, so I guess the priests
are covering this up, and maybe the societal structure, the
elitists who don't want the commoners getting any delusions
of grandeur that they can do anything they want and throw
the bums out of the Federal Reserve or whatever... There really
is a reality monopolization going on, and a continual indoctrination
that is forever insisting on the limited nature of awareness.
"I'm only
human, it's human to err, you only go round once so grab all
the gusto you can..." This is the tree of knowledge of
good and evil that we're not supposed to pick from. Knowledge
which, you might note, is proffered by the phallic serpent.
Pandora's box (a cteic symbol), Tower of Babel (another phallic
symbol), the Frankenstein story where the moral is that you
shouldn't muck about too much with reality because it's likely
to bite you if you do. The antidote to all this is the Wizard
of Oz, written by the Freemason L. Frank Baum, where some
upstart and her dog stop trembling for a moment and she gets
up off her knees and sneaks away from the Scarecrow (Christianity,
perhaps, with the crucified scarecrow?), the Tin Man (mechanistic
science, perhaps?), and the Lion (animal impulses, perhaps),
and this person peers behind the emerald curtain (the green
coloration maybe signifying life) and peering into the meaning
behind this life. And then the deception becomes apparent.
Who ultimately,
is responsible for the cover-up of the centuries, the cover-up
of the unlimited nature of consciousness? I would guess that
it is awareness itself, the mass consciousness behind all
of the mobile meat bodies, the mass consciousness itself,
which is covering this possibility up through its subservient
minions like the priests and the scientists and the hack storytellers
at NBC and so forth.
What would be
the reason that mass consciousness, possibly the closest thing
to God that we have located in this sector, has been covering
up these cool abilities and transcendent possibilities? Possibly
for fun. Possibly to create a game, because games have both
freedoms and barriers resident in them, and this makes for
interest because if you can do anything whatsoever, then you
create a completely non-challenging state. Superman, actually,
would get pretty bored on Earth, because he wouldn't have
any challenges. That's why the authors of that comic strip
had to invent Kryptonite, to give Superman a challenge with
which to create a story. Another reason for the enforcement
of limited states and the cover-up of the real possibilities
is that there is a gradual unfoldment taking place in which
this physical reality, bodies and so forth, is being evolved
from non-existence or potential into a state of pure awareness.
"God," let us say, is taking part in a continual
enlargement of its awareness and manifestation.
Reality is based
solely and entirely upon the belief structures which awareness
holds. Change the underlying beliefs and you will change the
perception of reality. One of the time-honored methods of
reality manipulation and creation is ritual magic. Ritual
magic, at least according to the more intellectual magicians,
is simply the channeling of attention through ritual and symbology,
concentrating attention in a certain direction so as to achieve
a certain result. The channeling of thought so as to create
a certain physical manifestation. Basically the imagining
of something purely conceptual into reality. Ritual magic
as reality creation.
I don't mean to
defame any ritual magicians in the audience, but it's obvious
that engaging in magic is giving some of your power away.
It's based upon belief in the limitation of your own power,
and that you have to access some higher conception or entity
or universe energy channeling device like a symbol, or whatever.
You have to go through certain incantations and steps and
buff your body with lambs wool, or whatever. It's based upon
the belief that you need a servo-mechanism or to channel a
higher power in order to manifest whatever you want in this
world. More to the point, would be to locate the limiting
belief you love in your own power and ability, deconstruct
that belief by realizing that you created it in the first
place, and then to manifest directly whatever it is you want
without employing a go-between. Cut out the Baphometic middle
man.
It's interesting
to note the interplay of the psyche with the techniques of
ritual magic and religion. Both religion and magic, these
techniques of creating or influencing reality, can be seen
to derive at least in part from a hierarchical vision of reality,
to contain trappings in their rituals and literature if only
subconsciously dramatizing a subjection to kingly and noble
forces. In other words, I think that ritual magic and religion
both have inherent in them the presumption of control by the
nobility and a ministering court... if only in hierarchies
of angels. Or the Wizard of Oz. God as king, as above so below,
regal robes, and the altar as the throne of the almighty.
Jesus is coming, everybody look busy. Actually, the study
of reality creation, in my opinion, has been greatly furthered
by the ritual magicians of this century. In terms of the study
of the creation and manipulation of realities, there is a
succession of people who have contributed to this evolving
field of study.
Certainly a lot
of people contributed to this line of thought, but the most
distilled transmission, as far as I'm concerned, began this
century with Aleister Crowley, who of course was also one
of the first ET contactees with his channeling of the "trans-mundane"
intelligence, Aiwass, in Cairo, in 1904. Several have commented
that Crowley's Aiwass bears a close resemblance to a grey
alien. Was Crowley a black magician? Did Crowley engage in
human sacrifice? I frankly don't know, but with his synthesis
of Eastern and Western magical thinking, you can bet that
Crowley knew that these systems are basically symbolic interpretations
overlaid on and hopefully accessing something more amorphous,
and that this, not the symbology itself, is where the power
derives from.
I'll put it another
way. I get the impression that Crowley knew that all of this
stuff comes from unmanifest, or non-awareness, and that there
is a stepping down which takes place from pure awareness by
which symbols and reality ties are created. The next guy in
line in this transmission might be Jack Parsons, head of the
Pasadena Ordo Templi Orientis in the 1940's, who I think if
he didn't teach L. Ron Hubbard everything he knew, at least
he quickened Hubbard's quest.
From what I can
tell, one of the things that makes the UFO/ET experience difficult
to define and understand, is that it is a multifaceted phenomena,
and there are a number of different origins for the experience.
People assume that there is one explanation for UFOs/ETs,
they latch on to the one they are most comfortable with, and
they insist that that one explanation explains all incidents.
I think there are at least five different explanations for
UFOs and ETs, in the following suggested categories:
(1) Encounters
with aliens. People may have had encounters with extraterrestrial
craft and their occupants, or with unexplained denizens
of this world which seem to fit this definition; i.e. inner
earth dwellers, or pixies or fairies, or whatever. Non-human
encounters, let's say. This is an unproven possibility.
(2) Spiritual
or non-material entities. This is the crossover dimension
which I have been discussing, where reality slides in and
out of thought and imagination and possibility.
(3) Government
military operations involved with advanced craft and/or
disinformation and/or psychological operations in which
people are led to believe they have had encounters with
aliens. I have the feeling that this is the source of
some, although not all, of the more elaborate encounters
over the last 45 years.
(4) The work
of hoaxers.
(5) Misperception
and delusion.
Depending on
the incident, there are at least five possible evaluations
and categories of experience. UFOs and ETs cannot be explained
with only one explanation, and once you start compartmentalizing
the experience this way, things become more understandable.
Understanding
the UFO experience has been confused by the propagation
of hoax material, by the deluded and the true believers,
and by the military trying to cover up its little schemes.
One proof of the unreality of reality is that so many totally
unreal things continue to happen, regardless of how much
government funding the materialists get. My own beliefs
about UFOs and their inhabitants are perhaps influenced
by two close encounters which I have had this lifetime,
which I'd like to describe to you. I was describing some
LSD experiences to a friend back in the late 1960s, and
I said something to the effect that the hallucinations I
had had were incredible. My friend responded, "They're
not hallucinations." That struck me as a profound insight
at the time, and still does.
LSD and other
hallucinogens do not so much cause hallucinations as they
cause a relaxing of one's barriers to experience, and then
the whole strange world rushes in. By the way, I'm not recommending
LSD or other drugs, I personally stopped this line of inquiry
before 1970. But, the time of this anecdote is 1968, and
I was tripping on mescaline in the San Bernardino Mountains
outside of L.A. I wandered off from the group I was with
and climbed to the bed of a pristine canyon, and perched
on a boulder amidst a trickling creek. I relaxed in order
to ponder the fate of the universe. And that was when I
saw her, or perhaps just felt her with a complete perceptual
clarity. She didn't have a body, but my sense was that the
stones, the water, the trees, the air... these things were
her flesh. It was, maybe, the Mother, the Mother Goddess
who manifests this world... at least I thought so at the
time.
This was apparently
the same entity who has been worshipped since ancient times
via such vehicles as the Mystery Religions, perhaps the
same being as seen in Virgin Mary manifestations, Isis,
Astarte, the White Goddess... but I was awe-stricken with
the sudden realization of what was what, and an amazement
that I could have ever forgotten that the world was the
flesh of the Mother, my Mother. And that was when she noticed
that I was sitting there, and I thought I perceived surprise.
She vanished out of there at warp speed, and I was left
in shock assuming, what could I assume?, that I was profane
and undeserving of seeing her and touching the hem of her
garment if she had worn one. Remember, she didn't have a
body, but she was perfectly perceptible and understandable
to me. So that was my first encounter with an uncommon being.
The second encounter was about 4 years later, in 1972. By
this time I had laid off the mescaline and LSD.
Now, this was
in the days before Whitely Stripper, and the media hadn't
really latched on to grey aliens. But I woke up in the middle
of the night in Los Angeles with one of these guys, the
prototypical alien grey, staring me in face, fight up close.
Terrified me, and I jumped out of bed and ran out of my
bedroom into the living room. When I returned to the bedroom
the visitor was gone. I put this experience aside for 20
years, until I read the book Communion, which verified certain
details of the experience, the primary one being the color
and texture of the creature's skin... which was not grey,
but blue-grey, with the texture and reflective quality of
clay... plasticine. That verification of detail was what
made the needle swing over toward "close encounter"
rather than "particularly vivid dream." I don't
have those types of dreams. My nightmares don't feature
aliens... and so now I am willing to accept that this insight
may have been an actual encounter, one which may have taken
place at the edge; at the edge of manifestation.
Regardless of
the factuality or verifiability of these two encounters,
I expect they did change my way of thinking about the UFO/Alien
phenomenon. These encounters violated all scientific laws
and seemed, instead, to reside in something like a crossover
state between fantasy and reality; both of these entities
simply vanished when confronted, and I began to feel that
this insight be the realm from which a good number of these
encounters proceed. It's interesting that a lot of ritual
magicians have used sex as a tool for accessing different
states of consciousness, for providing oomph to their workings.
Although I'm not a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis, I
have a copy of their Gnostic mass, and it's a straight sexual
symbolization, dramatization.
Crowley was
very much into this, Kenneth Grant, Austin Osman Spare,
the Templars, the Mystery Religions, tantric yoga, even
some of the Christian adepts like Baron von Zinzendorf's
Christian-Freemasonic group who got their kicks from rhapsodizing
about the ecstasy of using Christ's side wound as an orifice
for their penetration.
Sex can provide
an access port into energies which are useful in manifesting
other realities... This may have something to do with the
relaxing of inhibitions to experience. Sometimes, though,
things are manifested which are not desired. In the Hebrew
Talmud, masturbation is warned against because with each
act are created incubi or succubi, disembodied entities
which they refer to as Qlippoth... Certainly it's no secret
that in a lot of UFO abduction cases the aliens make free
with the abductees, even going so far as seducing them.
I also want you to note that researchers have long connected
poltergeist "noisy ghost" phenomena with the presence
of pubescent children phasing into sexual maturity. Certainly
a lot of energies are aroused during this period, energies
which apparently manifest Qlippoth-like entities and even
impact with the physical environment and toss dishes around
and so forth.
I wonder if
there's a correlation between alien abduction and sexual
frustration? I know a woman who had an alien encounter and
impregnation, or thought that this had happened to her,
and she dramatized all of the signs of pregnancy, including
the enlargement of her stomach. She's a New Ager so she
wouldn't have appreciated my down-to-Earth suggestion that
she get a sonogram and find out what's really going on.
Anyway, the aliens apparently intervened at the last moment
and spirited the alien half-breed away before birth. I didn't
question the woman closely enough to really have an informed
opinion about what was going on, there are such things as
what are termed hysterical pregnancies, and fathers sometimes
dramatize the characteristics of pregnancy, you know, so
I don't know the nature of what actually took place. But
what I am pointing out is the sexual and birth connection
to the UFO/ET experience. Another matter of high curiosity
is that ET abductions often coincide with elements which
seem to be able to be traced to events which took place
at the time of the abductee's birth.
This was brought
out by Alvin H. Lawson in a paper about what he calls the
Birth Memory Hypothesis. Lawson did a study of abductions
in the 1970s and noted that in 300 or so transcripts of
persons who believed that they had been abducted by UFOnauts,
birth imagery was "abundant" in their descriptions
of the events. These narratives linked "the fetus with
the abductee, the placenta with the UFO, the cervical opening
with UFO doorways. - and the umbilical cord with levitating
fight beams or pillars..." Lawson commented that "most"
abduction accounts are "dominated" by prenatal
details. I know this sounds speculative and pretty wild,
but Lawson did additional studies in which he compared abduction
sequences with events which actually took place during the
person's birth, and noted striking correlations.
For instance,
one woman who had had a breech birth (rear end exiting first),
got aboard the UFO by being vacuumed up a tunnel, through
a small door, and into a tiny bubble-like room (like the
amniotic sac), where she remained throughout her experience.
She exited the UFO in a unique manner... Remember, this
woman was a breech birth. "She 'sat down' over a trap
door in the floor and sank to the ground. Another subject,
a breech birth who was born feet first, exited the UFO by
walking backwards when she was outside. A forceps-aided...
breech birth said that 'they' pushed on her head, slipping
her outside; later she said that during the examination
'they' moved her body to 'center' her.
Budd Hopkins
says that he has regressed over 160 abductees whose narratives
were loaded with reproductive imagery. Here the veil seems
to have been pulled back a little and we see the direct
influence of the human psyche, at least in it; sexual and
birth aspects, directly influencing the UFO and ET experience,
as if the psychic portion of the contactee is phasing into,
shading into, shaping and influencing the reality of the
contact the actual circumstances. Might this be straight
delusion? Sure, in many instances I'm sure that this is
the case, but I don't think that we're talking delusion
in all cases. It's reminiscent of the anecdote where the
shrink shows the woman a Rorschach test and she slaps him.
I think it has
more to do with the concept that Aldous Huxley talked about
in Doors of Perception, that the mind functions, at least
in part, as a reduction valve on experience, a tuner that
limits the bandwidth of what is perceived, and puts perception
into a manageable or understandable format, and perhaps
even shapes the experience into what is dictated by the
content of the awareness, particularly through its beliefs.
I suggest that not only does awareness interpret what is
perceived, UFOs and ETs and whatnot, but that it also creates
these phenomena at both the mass consciousness level and
individual level.
Another suggestion
that our experience of UFOs and ETs is influenced by our
mindset is that a lot of these experiences portray far stranger
motifs, ones which come from Freemasonry and the Mystery
Religions and the New World Order. The Frenchman Claude
Vorilhon was taking a pleasant hike in the mountains one
day, so he relates, when he saw a UFO hovering nearby, the
craft bearing a Star of David with a swastika inside the
emblem. A glowing childlike figure stepped forth from the
craft. The child conversed with Vorilhon, bestowing a new
name on him, Rael, and informed the man that the reason
he had been chosen to be contacted was because France was
the birthplace of Earthly democracy (i.e. during the French
revolution). The being entrusted Vorilhon with the mission
of building an embassy in which the aliens, which Vorilhon
calls the Elohim from the biblical reference, could meet
with dignitaries of Earth, with the stated purpose of spreading,
"Peace, Love, Fraternity."
Vorilhon was
informed that humans had been created by the Elohim, godlike
space travelers who were also skilled in the arts of DNA
alteration and cloning. Vorilhon was now to assist the Elohim
in preparing mankind for the final age of Revelation. Vorilhon,
having adopted the name Rael, now insists to his numerous
followers that "a world government and a new monetary
system must be created. A single language will serve to
unify the planet." He and his followers sport the Star
of David/swastika emblem that he observed on the side of
the UFO, and they practice a form of "sensual meditation"
which may be similar to tantric yoga as practices by the
O.T.O. and other ritual magicians.
Quite obvious
to anyone with a conspiratorial bent who has studied the
literature are the New World Order/Illuminati references
with this UFO encounter and the mission that was imparted
to Rael. The childlike alien might as well have been on
a mission from George Bush. Another case is that of Betty
Andreasson. Taking place in 1967, the events of Andreasson's
abduction were later brought out through the use of hypnosis.
Andreasson recalled being kidnapped from her home and spirited
into what appeared to be a spacecraft. She was transported
to an unknown location and then taken through a series of
underground passageways which she believed to be part of
a city.
Arriving at
an underground chamber, Andreasson experienced, in a manner
which she describes as highly painful as well as emotional,
a kind of mythic psychodrama enacted before her which may
not have been different from the kind of mystical dramatizations
enacted in Mystery Religions and other mystic cults. She
saw a huge bird, which she estimated to be fifteen feet
in height, which resembled an eagle but having a more elongated
neck. The creature was apparently alive, but as Andreasson
watched, it began to transform. It began to glow with a
light and heat that was so intense it caused her pain.
When the heat
and light vanished, the bird was gone and she was gazing
on flickering embers. As Andreasson stared at the embers
she saw a worm wriggling in the ash. "Now, looks like
a worm," she described it in her hypnosis, "a
big fat worm. It just looks like a big fat worm, a big grey
worm just lying there." Also during the experience,
Andreasson "as told by her abductors: "We are
going to measure you for light... You have not completely
understood the word that you have. You are not completely
filled with light." Andreasson said, "I believe
I am filled with the light! I believe, I believe that I'm
filled with the light!" Andreasson also recalled that,
"They called my name, and repeated it again in a louder
voice. I said, "No, I don't understand what this is
all about, why I'm even here. And they, whatever it was,
said that "I have chosen you." "For what
have you chosen me?" "I have chosen you to show
the world." "Are you God?" "I shall
show you as your time goes by."
Since we are
ranging cosmically far afield in our search for connections,
it should be noted that Eye in the Triangle emblems have
been seen on some UFO and the uniforms of their occupants,
and that in recent years a significant percentage among
2,000 UFO sighting reports in Belgium describe triangular
craft with lights at each point of the triangle, and another
light in the center of the triangle. Anyway, the Lords of
Light and various other references relating to light, the
Star of David, the Phoenix, the Eye in the Triangle... All
of these symbols convey a very Earthly origin and are often
seen in accounts of encounters and abductions.
These are symbols
from the mythology of the Freemasons and the Illuminati.
As I mentioned in my book Saucers of the Illuminati, incidents
like this suggest strongly a Freemasonic/Mystery Religion/Illuminati
motivation and/or manipulation. Both American and British
intelligence agencies are still much aligned to Freemasonic
goals, and so this might point out an intelligence agency
connection, in terms of staged incidents, mind control,
whatever. That's the argument that I make in that book,
but since then I've come to see that there are other possible
explanations.
There is the
possibility that, since Freemasons and their ilk are quite
involved in ritualism and magic, that this might be a straight
magical transmission evoking these UFO events and even influencing
the events from a non-physical standpoint. These events
may be summoned up through Illuminati ritualism. At the
very least I would suggest that these Freemasonic/Illuminist
symbols might have crept into the common subconscious coin,
from which position they are dramatized in reality. Again,
I am not suggesting that incidents like these are examples
of delusion, but that we may be looking at something quite
different: that the content of the mind can influence and
shape the manifestation of real events.
Another clue
suggesting the UFO experience draws part of its meaning
from the human experience or the subconscious mass consciousness
experience, is that one can see that one of the major concerns
of this era is, and should be, the interface of human consciousness
with outer space. We have finally evolved tools, that is
rockets, for travel among the planets, and are getting to
the point where the creation of a faster than light drive
is probably possible. We can see this as conceivable, and
something which mankind may accomplish in the near future.
Conceive that human individuals or perhaps the mass consciousness
may be pondering upon these things, upon this position in
time and the possibilities inherent in it. And these experiences
with spacelings may in part depend upon and be flavored
by this focus of attention, but also possibly because we
have not objectified our experience of outer space yet,
we have not solidified our beliefs and views, standardized
our interpretation of the possibilities of this experience.
UFOs may constitute
an "imagining into" future possibilities. Perhaps
a testing out of realities which we are going to put on
in the future. A trial run in a new pair of shoes. Maybe
like the Rorschach test, space is relatively amorphous to
us at this moment, a somewhat neutral oracle which we are
reading meanings into, which we are beginning to play with.
I suspect, although since I have not conducted the experiment,
I cannot prove that there are major correlations between
the type of UFO/ET encounters one has and one's chronic
emotional tone... i.e. anger, apathy, grief, whatever, ones
obsessions, philosophy, mid one's roughly gauged material
circumstances. I have the feeling that a statistical analysis
would show significant correlations between people who feel
that they are victimized and abused by life, and those who
feel that they are victimized and abused by Ets.
I have the feeling
that people who have a generally airy-fairy New Agey view
of life might tend to encounter benevolent space brothers
who will impart homilies about transcendence aid golden
eternity. Naturally, this would not correlate on a one-to-one
basis, it wouldn't always be true, but I think that a decent
statistical sampling would show that I am on to something
here. Again, I am not saying that these non-human contacts
with humans are not real. I am saying that we tend to attract
experiences which correlate with our mind and emotions,
and that we create our own reality, including traffic jams,
bad television shows, toothaches, trips to the corner grocery,
being a human on the planet Earth, and having our mind blown
by an ET encounter. I think we are god playing at being
human, until we realize the fact and decide to consciously
play at something different.
Another clue
to the UFO/ET experience is the alien face. It seems to
be an interpretation and distillation of information which
is too overwhelming to comprehend, and so the perception
is simplified into a context that can be understood. I have
the suspicion that at least in some instances the ET experience
is so big, so amorphous, so alien, that it is simplified
in its comprehension, into the grey alien face. And why
might I think that? Because the prototypical grey alien
face is based upon the least information units that you
can interpret and still come up with a face. It can be reduced
to 3 dots in an inverted triangular shape, and given that
as the basis of a face, the details can logically be filled
in to form a tiny chin with a big head, it works aesthetically,
in the logic of the mind's eye. The triangular shape, the
three dots in an inverted triangle, dictate the bulbous
head as visual balance.
I
am led to believe that perhaps the image is a distillation
of an experience which is very amorphous but real, which offers
a dearth of information to the contactee, and then the details
are filled in by the mind. This is one function of the mind,
to fill in the details. I find it interesting to note that
this figure, the inverted triangle, also equates to the Baphometic
goat, to the female generative organ and its depiction in
the Cabala, to The Fall of mankind from his heavenly estate...
but now we get really speculative. As a face, the grey alien
is the ultimate in simplicity. This is just conjecture, but
is it possible that contactees; mid abductees in certain instances
are confronted by something far more energy than entity, and
that this energy field or nexus is channeled through the mind
and interpreted as a being based upon the least possible information
units: the simplistic grey alien face?
You can see
this in various oracular systems like the I Ching and the
Tarot and tea leaves and reading animal entrails and the
Magic 8-Ball. This is a purposeful de-structuring of the
field of information into random images, rendering the field
itself amorphous and virtually meaningless, so that meaning
can manifest and be randomly chosen, ready to deliver messages
which are not otherwise available. Like the William Burroughs
and Brion Gyson cut-up technique of literature. James Joyce
must have seen this when he wrote his randomized Finnegans
Wake.
John Lennon
was pointing this out with his I Am the Walrus which
is a randomized song text with recurring imagery of oneness
and the omniscient control of the Walrus, perhaps a bow
to Lewis Carroll. This random fracturing of message is certainly
the world of the abstract painter, like Jackson Pollock,
and his swirling splatter canvases, which I find irresistible.
Ultimately, I believe that there really is no universe,
no "field" as it were, and no past or future.
No time. I believe that we create the past to justify the
present, and that we can create the past in any form we
want. You create your own reality.
