Eyes Wide Open: Why are psychedelic researchers quiet and not interested about the important subject of the occult elite and their evil doings?

Recently, I have tried to engage well known psychedelic researchers in conversation about the subject of an occult elite in control of this world, who have for a long while, and continue to, maintain a matrix of destructive manipulating control without, and within, in the collective psyche. I have come to discover this, especially in the years following  my investigation into 9/11,

that all over that bloody massive event is the definite fingerprints of an occult elite which can be detected by the languages they use which include cryptic codes--such as symbolism, numerology, and also occult astrology, architecture, cartography, and so on--and once being discovered you are able to detect their similar coded fingerprints involved in other events also.

 I consider myself  a  psychedelic researcher, and also have been truly astounded, and deeply disturbed, by this discovery, that behind the scenes and yet also hidden-in-plain-sight we have sorcerers meticulously planning and creating false flags, and causing invasions and wars, and all manner of evil, and this is all part of an ongoing mind~control of masses of people.
 I am therefore sadly intrigued when people who are clearly deeply interested in psychedelics and all that implies, such as the understanding and study and exploration of consciousness, yet seem not interested, or absolutely quiet, regarding this extraordinarily important field of inquiry into the reality and actions of an occult elite which is affecting all life on Planet Earth!

Not so long ago, I emailed Dennis McKenna asking his thoughts about this 'silence trip'  I'd  been experiencing--not only from researchers individually, but even their followers.
 Here is my message to Dennis McKenna:

HI Dennis,

...Ever since the 9/11 attacks, I have also been drawn into that investigation also, as well as the London bombings of 7/7 etc etc., and in investigating have shockingly found that there are occult clues deeply connected between these events, including what many would consider un-related events like for example President Kennedy's assassination, Martin Luther King's assassination, The Manhattan Project, the Space Programs, and the recent Sandy Hook Massacre, and the Boston Bombings.

As you may also know there does exist symbolism all round us that not many people understand, such as the symbolism on the one dollar bill for example, of the pyramid and strange numbering and language. Also in architecture we see similar symbolism, and numerology. But what does it all mean?
I am not expecting you to talk about this, but I am drawing your attention to this---that I have been intrigued to find that trying to raise this topic amongst well-known psychedelic researchers--and their followers--seems to fall on deaf ears. TOTAL silence which I interpret as taboo.
... Not one person showing the slightest interest in this...!

I am in midst of exploring about this in a blog, because I find it very curious. Is it fear? Is it people think I am crazy? I cannot say because people will not even say a word in reply lol.
But as Obama now continues the W Bush onslaught on public liberty, do they not feel the walls closing in? Are not psychedelics sacred medicine for not only bringing attention to hidden inner feelings, but also hidden things going on in the environment? What is KNOWN about the occult?There are serious authors who warn that these power wielders use the occult (by the way, did Terrence ever specifically talk about this?) and communicate with each other using these secret languages.

...Isn't becoming aware of this occult (which actually means 'hidden') what psychedelic awareness must involve if we want to radically change things?

Here is Dennis McKenna's reply:

I think that since psychedelic researchers work in such a controversial area, they are loathe to risk their credibility; it's hard enough to maintain it in the face of a skeptical scientific community without invoking conspiracy theories, occultism, world dominators, and the rest of it.  Whether these things are true or not is not the point.

With respect, to Dennis McKenna,  I have to disagree. I think it is very much the point. because if it is true and people pretend it is not true or are afraid to even talk about it for fear of what other people will think, and yet are in the field of talking about psychedelics which are the sacred medicine par excellence for revealing what is hidden --then to me that stance is a limited hangout.
Things couldn't be more urgent now. So how can a serious researcher into psychedelics not be prepared to freely explore important issues like this? Though I understand if they choose not to, I am just challenging that denial, and also them even being silent about any view about this matter. I did very recently manage a reply from a person who is very much into promoting psychedelic therapy. He called me "delusional" and banned me from his Facebook, as I tried to reason with him!

SHHHHHH

If some of the existing psychedelic researchers are not willing to talk about this and what it means for the whole psychedelic understanding and experience, I at least hope to encourage open free debate about this important issue that affects us all, including all species, and Mother Earth. Because it is this occult elite who is at the top of their hierarchical pyramid of power, and are the ones who want to totally dominate nature and consciousness. So to begin seeing this now before it gets even worse is
U R G E N T!

The actual term 'occult' literally means "hidden", and these occultists belong to secret societies and  as it was in the Mysteries from which they derive, initiates of these secret societies  swear oaths they will not share any secret knowledge with those on the lower levels of the secret society, and especially outsiders, who they consider the "profane".
 One of the symbolic images for this secrecy in the ancient Mystery schools was the finger to the lips, meaning to keep quiet .  But you see the snag is, that although that might all be very well and good, and one should 'live and let live', when this secrecy becomes major global conspiracy that actually acts in extremely destructive ways and begins roasting innocent people alive in  big massive high-rise buildings ---built meticulously years in advance for that very sacrificial purpose--- and/or blowing your limbs off, and poisoning the very air of a city full of men, women and children, and other species,  and using false flags to invade other countries and kill thousands of innocent men, women, and children, and contaminate the whole region and beyond with depleted uranium and other toxic substances, which damages DNA, and take peoples liberties away, or exploding a president's  head in front of people, and threatening Mother Earth, and quality of life for all species, including ourselves, well then we should be very concerned indeed, and not feel intimidated to question and seek to expose what is hidden-in-plain-sight so as to understand it and undermine its mind~control over our sub~conscious minds, and expose who the real criminals are.
(ironically of course the culture these control-freaks control what to know everyone's secret business,  more and more, even what a facial expression may imply, even thinking)

Mark Passio claims that the "dark occultists" favoured symbol for their deviousness for not being seen whilst causing all manner of chaos and evil and manipulation is the owl:

The owl is a predatory bird that can see its prey in the dark, from a higher perspective. It can stay hidden from its prey.

Mark Passio: "The [symbol of the] owl is, I guess you could say, the mascot of the sorcerers. It is the animal that is most identified with consciousness that is aware, yet is using that knowledge to suppress those that are not in the know.”

  Psychedelic experience for me has always been like a seeing through invisible veils, so to speak, to more direct feeling and observations which gives deeper understanding. What could these invisible layers mean? They surely will include layers of mind~control? For isn't that what the matrix is about---layers of propaganda, Layers of myths,  the control of a narrative, and magick deliberately intending to control bodies and minds.

It is more so apparent how they control our bodies. They have cops in military garb, with 'tasers'/electrocution-weapons, and pepper sprays, and microwave crowd-control tanks, and cells to imprison the physical body, etc., if we protest injustice,  but not many realize they employ just as many fierce assaults on our psyches, always though of course keeping in mind that we are not separate minds and bodies, but bodyminds. The oppression done to bodies affects minds and vice verse.

If you were to Google for links to do with research regarding  'the occult elite and psychedelic awareness', for example, you are more likely to find most sources talking about how the occult elite were responsible for the psychedelic revolution and Counterculture as a 'pretext for their globalist plans',  so the theory goes.
IE your not hearing from these sources about how psychedelic awareness can help us see deeper into what an occult are doing, but rather being made paranoid and disempowered about the elite's great power and how the psychedelic revolution was devised by them. This kind of  information is mainly coming from either Christian or New Age sources. The former see any use of psychedelics as Illuminati/pagan-evil, and the latter see nature and the body as traps, and argue we are trapped in a "5 sense world" created by the Illuminati and the 'evil entities' they're connected with. This idea is derived from Gnosticism which envisioned 'archons' who keep us trapped in this universe which was, so they believed, created by an evil god, or Demiurge.

Although, I admit that these occult elite control-freaks would have had a hand in wanting to use psychedelics as mindcontrol, as was the case in their Project MKUltra--for control is their middle name--the more empowering and interesting research, as I understand it,  is to explore how they cannot control the actual psychedelically-inspired experience which is the undermining of their existing mindcontrol. This is very complex to explore and unravel, and this is why it needs debate and not silence, especially from those in the psychedelic community, so that we can openly explore, and be radically different from the mindsets who are mired in secrecy, and deception.

Researchers like Jan Irvin who seem obsessively focused on the theme that the occult elite devised and manipulated the psychedelic movement of the 1950s and 60s etc., come from, in my opinion, a patriarchal bias. Saying things like they did it to break up "the family", and also puritanically condemning psychedelically-inspired 'wild dancing' , and communal living.

Irvin fanatically emphasizes the Trivium as a way of using reason to get to the truth of what is being said by those in authority, and I have done a past blog critiquing this elitist form of education which I titled The Trivium Cult, because it was calling their Trivium online a 'cult'--after my questions and views were dismissed-- which got me banned from their Tragedy and Hope forum, not even being allowed to reclaim the posts I had done when a member there. I distrust movements that don't like questioning, and yet make out they seek to get to the bottom of extremely complex issues using "reason".
I certainly haven't needed the Trivium to gain similar insights they claim to have (in fact, after my experience with the Trivium Cult, I avoid using Trivium terms whenever I can!) , and other ones they obviously don't share. My understanding is it is not elite forms of logic that help us see through the elite's matrix so much as insights from psychedelic observation, experience, the heart, feeling, which helps inspire one's own unique research.

The Trivium people become inevitably aloof because they learn all these Latin terms that most people aren't in the know about, and then during normal conversation will direct these Latinised accusations at you---that your doing this or that "fallacy", "ad hominem",  etc etc. Yes it can be a handy technique to know, but to become obsessed with that elitist stuff to the point you cannot have free conversation with all kinds of people is not good. It becomes a barrier to free exploration , warts and all.

Observation and feeling is far deeper and more direct than words. My very first LSD trip had me experience seeing peoples body language very clearly. Body language is a very revealing language often 'hidden' because we are caught up in the very same social matrix as others, and only the psychedelic magical key can unlock this door to such insight and/or help us see through it which is always often accompanied by body and soul rippling , anxiety-dissolving, hilarity.

What may it mean getting wise (inspired with psychedelics) to what the occult elite are up to :

We know the occult elite have symbols all over the place. In and on their architecture, and the locations where buildings and monuments are  located, and dates the ground is broken, and their are clues in their cartography and occult astrology--"As Above So Below" (their Hermetic magical maxim)---on corporation logos, and TV channels, and even on their currency, and symbols are also accompanied by numerology, or number-codes.

When we dream we rarely dream words or text. We dream forms, images, and/or symbols, and these will be subconscious and have deep meaning and relevance for us, and often people we know, and others. Same is so in mythology, which is like a collective dream, where  there are images and symbols, and these have meaning, pointing to concepts which cannot be grasped by linear abstract words, concepts, and thinking.
 The very origins of mythology come from a preliterate world. It is only with the coming of the patriarchal myths we get such an emphasis on writing/text, and the 'Word' . The Bible, for example, is supposed to be "The Word of God", and this 'God' is against all images:

"Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves...Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female. The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air. The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth." (Deut. 4:15-19)

The occult elite's matrix (a web of myths, and power structures, all of which contribute to the maintenance of established authoritarianism) enforces dissociation from our creative imagination inculcated via mind~control strategies from various levels of  power, mythical, religious, philosophical, 'education', mass media, and of course occultism, and especially their so-called ‘war on drugs’ which means, simultaneously, war on psychedelic experience and the meaning (1) of psychedelic experience, and  this dissociation the occultists can manipulate and implant their symbolism, and number, as sorcery and to create layers of myth which make up the matrix many of us are controlled and oppressed by unconsciously! So it behoves us well to come to terms with this alarming news and reality and begin facing the task of understanding what this means, because it is intended to manipulate our collective subconsciousness.
This covert manipulation of the ‘mind of the masses’ by a self-appointed elite has already been admitted to by Edward Bernays regarding propaganda, but the occult stuff is just even more 'hidden'!

(1) [A deeper part of the occult elite's propaganda against psychedelics and psychedelic experience is the psychological de-grading of the experience. Thus many people 'educated' in the myth of scientism, which is scientific materialism, or physicalism, will assume that all psychedelics are is a 'chemical ride', a means to get 'fucked up', and therefore do not see anything sacred about them and the experience, as for example many Indigenous peoples have done throughout ancient history, and continue to do so. The times I have come across this demeaning reductive attitude from people using online message boards at forums devoted to psychedelics!]

"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain point and within certain limits." [Edward Bernays] [emphasis mine]

Mythology is a natural creative process, and was originally sacred stories and ecstatic experiences of origins, and experience, often inspired with various psychedelic vegetation, and brews, yet not all mythologies are benign.
Feminist researchers have shown, in the patriarchal formulation of myth where they have appropriated imagery and symbolism from more ancient mythologies, and subverted the original meaning of the images and symbols via using text to demean them, and also utilize them for their own agenda, these kinds of myths I call toxic myths, because I see them as propaganda and sorcery with a purpose of dividing and controlling, and basically securing and maintaining and increasing an enslaved population.

The 'creation myth' in the Book of Genesis, where all the very ancient primal preliterate mythological images and symbols of a Tree of Knowledge and Life, the Magical Fruit of Inspiration, the Serpent which always guarded the Sacred Tree of Life, are downgraded and even demonized by the text of the 'God'.

The Great Mother is demoted to a mortal character 'Eve'--,  who, adding insult to injury, is supposedly birthed from a male, 'Adam',  via the power of a male 'God' ( a typical patriarchal ploy which assumes a male creator).

Human kind, and even Nature Herself, was inevitably going to be attacked therefore in this scheme of things because of its ancient deep connection with the Goddess. The Great Mother is Nature, is also the universe, is the Serpent, and hence the male priest scribes composing the Book of the 'Word of God' deliberately subverted the far more primal and original meanings of these images and symbols with their younger technology of abstract text.

the Rockefeller Center in New York.

The occult elite's  favoured saviour god is Lucifer, the 'Light bringer' who supposedly brings to them intellectual and occult knowledge, and so they are known as  Luciferians.  They interpret the biblical Garden myth to mean it was  Lucifer or Satan or Prometheus (regardless of what they or Satanists or Luciferians  claim, these three 'rebellious sons' are interchangeable) who was the Serpent in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They share, in other words,  the same worldview as the patriarchal traditional religion, but see its 'God' as the evil one who wants to enslave Adam and Eve and thus humanity. But this supposed fear of being enslaved by an evil god is meant to mean themselves, the initiated Luciferians, who they interpret the serpent proclaimed were "gods" after eating the Forbidden Fruit the 'God' had warned against eating.

“I am the Snake that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I will tell my prophet [Crowley], & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.”
-The Book of the Law, II:22

As John Allegro reveals in his book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, how  these mythological writings are composed in layers, and thus their mode of operation is cognate with the Mysteries and occultism, and the 'Trees' in Eden are really referring to one Tree, and this Tree is cryptically referring--just for the intitates understanding, and access to-- psychedelic fruit.

To get to an understanding of a pattern which continues to happen in modern times we can look at the existing shamanic culture of Amazon for clues. There is used the sacred psychedelic brew ayahuasca, and for the healers there it is used in a benign way, to heal. But there are also brujos, or sorcerers, who use this psychedelic experience and knowledge for egoic power and to harm anyone they choose to attack.

Whether or not the current occult elite are secretly taking psychedelics, it is clear they are doing magick. This frantic rant by Alex Jones titled The Ruling Elite take DMT to contact entites is very revealing and needs some looking at, because it reveals the Christian, WASP,  hysteria about psychedelics, and 'spirits', and the whole fear and confusion 'we' are in regarding this deep subject!

Anyone with knowledge about the history of psychedelics, and shamanism, would know these psychedelic substances were not invented  or owned by the occultists or the occult elite, but have been known since time immemorial by peoples of the Goddess, and  indigenous peoples, to be sacred medicine which can heal oneselves, and other people, and inspire us to reconnect with Earth, the universe, community, and ones spiritual essence and organism, and also nature spirits . So let us cut to the chase:  

What does it mean then that people with evil intentions make contact with seemingly evil entities that further exacerbate their evil intentions? 

Well surely we are all free to choose good or evil. That is the point. That is part of the meaning of the mythical Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (2). The 'God' does not even want the Fruit to be accessible, whilst secretly the initiates who wrote the myth take it, but keep it secret away from its followers and/or slaves. The rebellious 'sons of the stern rule-making kill-joy and patronizing 'Father' choose to see the sacred fruit as a means to power and control over others, and ultimately nature Herself. 
An important thing to note is that both the traditional religion and the more secret occultism both suppress knowledge of the Great Mother, and thus also the original meaning of initiation, or Celebration, of the merging with the Great Mother, which of course means nature in the deepest spiritual sense!

(2) Mark Passio reveals how Satanism, and also in postmodernism, promotes the idea of "moral relativism" which can argue that what is good or evil is decided by what people say they mean. This attitude is reflected in the Orwellian situation we find ourselves more and more in where we are informed by authority that "ignorance is strength ", "freedom is slavery" and other 'doublespeak'. This is another part of their mind~control where even one's reasoning and feelings are demoralized, and you cannot think or feel for yourself. 
Also if I come and poison your well which you and all local life depends on for water if you don't call it 'evil', it sure aint good neither!

So what way do I encourage the understanding of the Fruit or psychedelics?

 I feel there must be a prerequisite understanding of the sacredness of nature, and the organism, and other species, and our spiritual interconnection, and thus the realizing that sacred medicine helps us explore this relationship infinitely deeply which therefore can deepen our love and knowledge. Knowledge not to control others, and nature, but to find ways to live with nature and others and oneself with love and respect and not in division and conflict.

What about so-called evil entities? Do they exist in their own right? I think it is more that the intention of the ones who believe this create that somehow. That phenomena reflects their own mindset, and then it becomes a vicious destructive two way sick thing. VERY dangerous for all concerned as 9/11 showed and continues showing as it is used as excuse for more and more oppression and evil. All we can do is see through their occult doings, and this means understanding the mythology which drives them, seeing the symbols they use, their numbers, occult astrology, cartography, and so on~~~  not to become occultists ourselves as such, but that by becoming aware of these languages and codes we undermine their subconscious sorcerous intentions on our bodies and psyches and surroundings.
 What is hidden becomes open.

What is magick with a K?

The Luciferian elite see Aleister Crowley as their prophet of the 'New Aeon'. In  the book (highly recommended) The Most Dangerous Book in the World: 9/11 as Mass Ritual, author S .K. Bain writes:

"Crowley is the key to deciphering the script for the 9/11 global mega ritual" (page 26) ...

And a big part of their script involves gematria:

Nine then, is not simply “most evil”, but further invokes deities of supreme importance to occultists. Eleven, as we already know, has a bit of an evil reputation in its own right, but, more importantly in this context, is “the number of Magick in itself,” and “the sacred number par excellence of the new Aeon”, as well as “My number” according to Aleister Crowley, to whom the entire 9/11 MegaRitual is in part dedicated. Writing again in Gematria, Crowley reiterates, “11. The great magical number, as uniting 5 and 6 etc. and the magic force itself.”

Thus, the Crowleyian formulation ---9, “Most Evil”, 11, “the magic force itself”---yields: 9/11 = Evil Magic.(pages 80 -81)

It is Crowley who came up with the term magic with a 'K',  giving 'magick', supposedly to differentiate the term from ordinary stage 'magic', but also note that the letter K, in one of the occult numerological codes' (where each letter of the alphabet is numbered, and when you come to double digit figures you add them to make one number, and ignore zeros)  is the 11th letter, and Crowley as we see had a thing for that number, and so do the occult elite!

Aleister Crowley claims he 'channeled' The Book of the  Law [Liber al vel Legis] from an entity he named Aiwass. And according to Crowley 'Aiwass' dictated to him The Law of Thelema, which begins: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." 

 For magickians 'will' is all about control, beginning with one's own body and mind, and imposing this willpower simultaneously towards things externally which the sorcerer wants to change. Crowley defined magick as:

 "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will." 

In the book  Prophet of Evil: Aleister Crowley, 9/11 and the New World Order, by William Ramsey, there is a photograph of one of Crowley's disciples, Victor Neuberg. In the black and white photograph you just see his arms, and they are literally covered in scars caused by self-inflicted cuts, and he cut himself to try and invoke Crowlyian 'will' via mastering the body and mind as his mentor advised for becoming a magickian. 
It is all about controlling the self,  self-mastery, and then this attitude projects outwardly into controlling others, and nature---to conform to the will of the magickian. In this willful worldview there is no allowing. To attack the skin, body, and mind means not having empathy for oneself, and this will externalize as not having empathy for others. We surely are seeing this sickness in the world today! Others become mere objects to be exploited, and sacrificed for one's own egoist desires.

One of the elites favourite scientists for 'predicting' where this insane sense of control via magick (which is hush hush in 'educated' circles) and its technology is wanting to go is very well exampled when Michio Kaku talks about "three types of civilizations":

“When we physicists look in outer space for alien life, we don’t look for little green men. We look for Type-1/Type-2/Type-3 civilizations.

A Type-1 civilization has harnessed its planetary power. They control earthquakes, the weather, volcanoes, they have cities on the ocean, anything planetary – they control. That’s Type-1 civilization.

A Type-2 civilization is stellar. They have exhausted the power of the planet, and they get their energy directly from their mother star. They use the power of the sun itself to energize their huge machines.

Eventually they exhaust the power of a star and go galactic. They harness the power of  billions of stars within a galaxy (Thats a Type-3 civilization)". source

In this dystopian future there is no wisdom of allowing. No understanding of Earth as a living organism, but rather as an object to be controlled by a self-appointed control-obsessed magicko-technocratic elite who believe themselves gods.

How they think about Earth as an object to be controlled, they also think of us:

“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”  (Zbigniew Brzezinski "In his 1970 book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era)

 However to ancient people of the Goddess, and many Indigenous peoples, ancient and ‘modern’ Earth is anciently known as Mother Earth which is an organism from which our organisms are born, nurtured, and are interrelated with,  and Earth has natural organic flows of energies and movements as do our bodies and minds and souls~~~ ways that must not be controlled and suppressed but respected as their own intelligence. Michio Kaku sadly "predicts"the insane way the occult elite are thinking of going---a dream of ultimate control.

This Transhumanist vision is not about ecstatically merging with nature, but with man-made computers with the occult sorcerers in central control over them & us!

Psychedelics understood as sacred medicine are  the magical fruit which when ingested with love and respect encourages the inspiration to undo their inner matrix. Once this is happening, and the more of us wake up, then we will radically undo the outer oppressive matrix also. To begin this we must wake up to what is actually happening.

TED Talks resident Pseudoskeptics censor Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock TED Talks videos

Not long ago, I found out that TED Talks had agreed to have Rupert Sheldrake's and Graham Hancock's Youtube videos of their TED talk taken down, and were both accused of pseudocience.
I will post Rupert Sheldrake's and Graham Hancock's refutations to this attack on their integrity below, but I think this drama is very telling about the state of things. It reveals to me how traditional religion and scientism are hand in hand with censoring open-minded inquiry into reality.

Graham Hancock, for example, in his talk, brings to peoples attention about the so-called war on drugs, which includes a war on psychedelics and the war on the freedom to explore our consciousness, and rightly emphasizes that if we are not sovereign over our own minds then we are not free in any way whatsoever.

Rupert Sheldrake deconstructs scientism meticulously, going over point by point its basic 'sacred tenets'. This seems to have ruffled some feathers. The two 'skeptics' behind their videos being taken down have been identified as Jerry Coyne and PZ Meyer.

This is not the first time that Rupert Sheldrake's theories have courted controversy. His work was slammed in the magazine, Nature, as being fit for burning! 
John Maddox. Stevens cites a quote from Maddox, Nature's editor, twelve years afterwards, which sums it up nicely: “Dr Sheldrake is putting forward magic instead of science and that can be condemned in exactly the language that the Popes used to condemn Galileo, and for the same reason: it is heresy.”




Please read Graham Hancock's and Rupert Sheldrakes responses to TED talks for the disrespectful and injust way they have treated as their guest speakers, and they both challenge TED to a debate with chosen scientists:

Open for discussion: Graham Hancock and Rupert Sheldrake from TEDxWhitechapel

This drama coincides with stuff I have been thinking about of the lst few weeks, and also planning on doing a post about this exploration. I thought of the theme of how the emergence of modern science starts with Galileo and his tele~scope, This instrument is an aid for his nervous system to explore deeper into outer space. What he discovered verified the findings of Copernicus, but this new information caused much controlversy. The scientists of the time, natural philosophers, refused to even look through gelileo's telescope, and he was put under house arrest, and his information suppressed.

Later in the timeline of dis~covery came the micro~scope, allowing the nervous system to delve deeper into matter, and then in the early nineteenth century we have beginnings of modern physics leading up to the gigantic tools used to fathom subatomic matter.

So I was thinking about this, and thought "so what now?" Well
now the central mystery in physics, and science in general is consciousness. What 'tool' do we have for delving into 'that'?..............................Oh, I know, psychedelics! But unlike the other tools which are external instruments for the extension of our nervous systems to explore reality, the psychedelic we place in our mouths, chew and ingest into our innards.

However, science, or scientism has basically dismissed this tool, or sacred medicine, and called any forthcoming experience a 'chemical ride', 'delusion', 'hallucination', or 'psychosis' --negative terms which more reflect the current physicalist worldview which states there is only matter, and the world out there is unconscious, and insentient, and that we are virtual robots who are skin bags of electrical and chemical interactions, and that our brain produces consciousness. In this scenario any psychedelic experience is just 'distortion of reality'.

So the impasse is the distrusting of direct exploration of consciousness, and conscious nature and universe! The impasse is the objectification of reality and even of consciousness, so that direct experience of consciousness is not to be trusted, because it cannot be measured which according to this worldview is not 'objective' and therefore is pseudoscience.

We have been made to feel that our consciousness itself is illusionary by physicalist neuroscientists. This situation is both extremely sad and extremely funny at the same time.  For all we really know is we are conscious beings.

People like Richard Dawkins who reveal an interest in psychedelic experience but will not, are a modern version of the philosophers who refused to look through Galileo's telescope. Dawkins even stated that even if he did have a psychedelic trip, he most likely would keep to his existing views about nature and reality.

Aaron Swartz driven to suicide by the corporation-owned government

I have only just found out about this!! What a beautiful dude inside and out.

Aaron Swartz died for Piers Morgan's sins... 

 

 

Aaron Swartz spoke this in his early teens at his school:

 "Everyday millions of innocent children are unwillingly part of a terrible dictatorship. The government takes them away from their families and brings them to cramped crowded buildings where they are treated as slaves in terrible conditions for seven hours a day. They are indoctrination to love their current conditions and support their government and society. As if this were not enough they are often held for another two hours to exert themselves almost to the point of physical exhaustion and sometimes injury. Then when at home during the few short hours which they are permitted to see their families they are forced to do additional mind-numbing work which they must finish and return the following day. This isn't some repressive government in some far-off country, it's happening right here. We call it school."

Apocalypse~:UFOs, Psychedelics, Aliens, and Anthropocentrism

 Carlos Diaz (photograph of a UFO)

Soon  comes the climax of the  "big date" much vaunted by the likes of Terrence McKenna, 2012, and so I thought I would review a talk he gave about UFOs, and let it inspire us to explore what apocalypse might mean regarding us expanding our senses in relation to our relationship with nature and cosmos.

 I like the word Apocalypse, not in its Judeo-Christian sense, but preferring the original Greek apokalyptein definition of to:

"uncover, disclose, reveal" 

If anything, '2012' can be understood as a springboard date of encouragement to explore reality as boldly as one's inquisitive efforts will allow. Not however being dictated how to by any authority, but respecting our own journey of dis~covery, knowing that we also change as more information is discovered, and maybe stuff you know will prove false, so it's wise to stay as flexible as possible faced as we are with this mystery of reality.

I will link the actual Terrence McKenna video at the end of this post, but for now will present its transcription, and guestion what he says, and this will also inspire more questions and how I try and approach this subject:

Terrence begins:  “…with less willingness to argue it strenuously in front of straight people, I certainly agree with you extraterrestrial intervention of some kind is possible. I’m uncomfortable with arguing it, because my fellow extraterrestrial enthusiasts are such a disgrace to intellectual discourse. I mean they’re a bunch of squirrels, you know ahhh. And also, the extraterrestrials they wish to champion, these grey-faced proctologists from other star systems to pay house calls in the middle of the night, that’s absurd. And it’s also incredibly pedestrian. It’s so like human beings. Real aliens are really alien. They don’t care about our reproductive processes or how much coal we’re mining. They don’t want to take a piece of tissue out of your belly button, or anything like that. They’re so alien, that the trick is to even establish any commonality of interest whatsoever. So there seem to be two things happening. A very subtle penetration of human consciousness and institutions by a very alien something which may have its roots in the organization of the human psyche,,,but whatever it is it’s subtle.

I have never met an alien in the flesh so to speak, as far as I can recall, and haven't met anyone face to face who have shared with me an alien abduction or experience, though I have read reports of people claiming this, and seen videos, and communicated via text etc. Could they all be hoaxers, or having psychological issues which are not 'actual reality'?

 I have a problem with the affix- 'mono'. I don't like words and things to do with mono, mono-tone, mono-culture, mono-theism, including mono-theories. Even if one report were real it would be a very radical thing.

 I have had  very powerful OBEs where I encountered beings, and it was very real, and life-changing to me, but when I have told pseudosceptics they will tend to know better than me what it is--eg, 'false'! That makes me disrespect that arrogant and ignore-ant attitude, though I can also understand how we cannot just uncritically believe anything anyone says, and how there's a dangerous history of cults where mass suicides have occurred through dodgy beliefs believed by gullible people. But there still must be respect, and if people have evidence that is good, and the important thing for me is asking questions so as to explore things even if they may seem completely strange.

My main research into the UFO phenomena is the craft,  the evidence for which is substantial. That some people claim to make contact with beings flying these strange crafts thus makes sense, especially if their demeanour is sincere and especially if they show evidence like "scoop marks" , or 'missing time', and so forth.

I also don't have a problem with aliens with two legs and two arms and a head. If planets and stars and galaxies are of mostly the same forms and patterns here as they seem to be millions of light years away, why not hominid shapes also? And why is it assumed they cannot change shape. The crafts have been reported to change shape, and perform feats which defy our scientific understanding, so why shouldn't this apply to their occupants physical forms also? Most researchers into shamanism, for example, are familiar with the term "shapeshifting", but usually associate it with an 'internal' state, but as I try and remember and point out, science does not know what consciousness or matter is and so maybe 'they' can do things we are not aware of also 'externally'?
  And the often reported big deep looking eyes some of these beings have; that to me is really 'alien' too. Eyes being the window of the soul, that description has always captured my imagination! Yet McKenna concluded, he knows what 'they' are implying only his version is authentic: "real aliens are really alien" he asserts.  One wonders whether he personally ever had an experience of 'physical' contact with one of the aliens he doesn't even consider alien? Maybe in deeper understanding of dimensions we can both experience them 'internally' and 'externally'.

Terrence: "Meanwhile, there’s something else going on, a kind of syncratic religious hysteria based on unbalanced personalities willing to put forth fantastic paranoid hallucinations that they gather other soft-headed folk to their flock, and then this becomes a source of epistemological degradation in the culture of dialogue because these people are bananas in some sense you know. And, interestingly, highly phobic of psychedelic drugs. I mean, I have made the mistake of agreeing to speak at UFO conferences, and you know it’s the most bizarre and regimented group of people. I don’t know how they manage it. First of all the faith is that metal ships from other star systems are visiting this planet to help us with the culture crisis, I mean it’s 1940s male engineering mentality in a Flash Gordon suit, and if you suggest anything about a psychic dimension to it [you get[ “oh your one of THOSE people” and it’s just completely dismissed. And you go to these UFO conferences, and you go into the exhibition hall, and at table one Commander Zero of the Planet Thermida has his plan for mankind, twelve feet away at table two Zeta Reticuli people have an entirely different message. Table three, the Paleidians …and you know…
What happened to what’s called the Principle of Parsimony? You understand what I mean? In other words…well the principle of parsimony says, the simplest explanation should always be preferred unless evidence accumulates otherwise."

 I get the feeling that McKenna may have been so repulsed by some of the reports from abductees that he felt a need to believe the people were deranged rather than dare give any credibility to the accounts of their experiences.

I personally have been through such phases regarding the Greys, and in fear latching onto a theory which denies its possible physical reality. For example Steven Greer reckoned they were genetically created biological robots made by humans in secret biological black operations so as to create a fear amongst people of aliens per se, and I was attracted to his theory for a while, and maybe that was me trying to deny the possible reality of these beings being independent, who it's said, by some, can immobilize you, and stick long pins into your terrified eye (or was that a film I saw?) as you lie helpless in their operating table.
 But as people like Dr Mack found out from his research, with people who chose not to call themselves abductees, but rather experiencers, there could be intertwined with these alien contacts a mythical and shamanistic quality.
 Dr Richard Strassman discovered in his research with volunteers into the psychological effects of DMT,  that people would also report seeing these aliens in abduction like scenarios. So it seems to me, looking at the more diverse evidence,  a bit more complex and mysterious than the mono-theories Greer and others might be trying to spin, for whatever reason.

McKenna also seems to have a resistance to aliens  flying about in 'metallic' UFOs, and having an independent intelligence of their own, and  caring for Earth, and coming to our aid, yet this very possibility plays a crucial central role in Robert Hasting's research - About UFOs and Nuclear Weapons - where he has amounted substantial evidence that UFOs have actually intervened into the Military Industrial Complex 's nuclear war bases,  showing their extraterrestrial presence and even interfering with the weapon facilities as a form of protest of our use of nuclear power. In fact it is known that the proliferation of UFOs appearing in the modern era since the 1940s happened to coincide with the United States, and other countries, creation and use of nuclear weaponry!

Terrence: "This sort of leans onto a minor obsession of mine which is, it has to do with this, this raises the issue of the whole question of the paranormal, and psychedelic people are of many minds about the paranormal. Some psychedelic people feel no need to entertain its existence at all. Others are constantly consulting pendulums, you know, so forth and so on.

In the matter of anomalies, I’ve found a nearly foolproof way to get to the bottom of any given paranormal claim, but people don’t like my method very well. It has to do with concentrating on the personality of the witness.
 We are incredibly naïve about the phenomenon of witnessing. So, say errr this afternoon I go on a hike by myself up into the sandstone and then I come back wild-eyed at evening and say that I saw a ship of some kind and then I tell you a story. I daresay, probably you would believe in some sense this story, but why should you? And in fact, how much do you know about me and my need for self-esteem, my history of lying, my history of having strange things happen to me. The fact that I was molested by an uncle at age eleven, wasn’t everybody? This kind of  thing in other words. And err, so constantly people are telling me about, or reporting in the media, stories—a flying saucer was seen over village so and so last night, reported by several residents, but it’s these, this kind or reportage assumes that people are like cameras, but people are not like cameras. People are a nexi (?) of psychological complexes, fears, self-doubt, delusion, illusion, religious upbringing and so forth, and so on. And, I guess because I’m in a kind of position where I can meet anybody in those places where I might care to, it’s like you get to go behind the scenes, like going backstage at a rock and roll concert you know. Well then what you discover is, all of these people are errr incredibly grotesque and complicated, and conflicted and bizarre, and err, you know, to think of them as Joe Ordinary cheerily explaining the aerial phenomena, it’s not how it is. These are people who were earlier into Wicca, and then spent some time in a Tantric ashram in Zugzikerstan, and later had an affair with the ambassador’s daughter, they were running heroin from Nigeria, and he had to do a little time in Jabuti, and you just realize, you know, these people are so complicated, that any story told definitely serves many many agendas, and you know you specifically mentioned Whitley Streiber. He is a very very very peculiar person, you have to spend no more than three minutes with him to realize that this is, that the issue is the person telling the story, and I found that with cropcircles and with lots and lots of things. You know, drag in the witnesses, and don’t ask them what they saw, ask them what kind of childhood they had, what there religious upbringing was, and how errr you know, what they think about Atlantis and stuff like that, and it begins to unfold in a different way.

Psychedelic experience and the journey of inquiry they have inspired in me, including my own extraordinary experiences, have thankfully not caused me such narrowing of mind that I hear from this guy.  Though surprisingly Terrence McKenna also has a very creative inquisitive mind, here it seems to fail him. The way he talks about people who claim to have had these experiences, not feeling able to trust and respect their testimony, and so on, is as bad if not worst, considering, than I have heard from regular hard-nosed pseudosceptics!

One would think that for someone who had openly bragged about his "heroic doses"  of magic mushrooms and reality-shattering DMT trips that such experience would inspire openmindedness and empathy for unconventional people telling wild tales.

Take a look at this video of a possible abduction of a family and see what you think? They don't seem "bananas" to me.

 UFO: The High Bentham Incident

According to McKenna's worldview, and perspective, it is wonder how these people he lambasts manage to negotiate crossing the road, being such a jumble of neuroses he claims them all to be. He doesn't seem to have any trust in human perception and judgment. Like any bio-shrink, or debunking psychologist type, if you shared some of your visions with him he wouldn't really listen with respect, he would be looking at you already having pre-judged you as 'mentally ill'. THAT is not good investigation, that is prejudice.

Terrence: "We’re very naïve about narrative, and we’re very naïve about reporting the world to each other. We don’t understand that if you apply consciousness to any single thing it gives way to a spaghetti of ambiguity that down at the quantum mechanical level everything turns into everything else. Well, so, simple stories , simple thoughts about them, are usually so low definition that the meat of it, the meaning is somehow betrayed."

McKenna himself couldn't get to any real meaning, because his consciousness has already reached a conclusion---'they're NUTS ewwww get me outta here!' He had already concluded what was "really alien". It is what he is familiar with, so fuck anyone elses's experience--they're nut jobs. They are not fit to listen to as one human being to another, and to really listen would degrade his 'superior intellectual sensitivities'.

Terrence: The aliens of psilocybin are much more alien, you know. I mean they're not hominids. They’re not interested in how many atomic power plants we use, or how we excrete or reproduce. They’re really alien, and the trick, the trick is to know when your looking at it. I mean, that’s always the trick. I have often in my mind the image of the world’s largest radio telescope [which is] in Puerto Rico, and it’s used to search for extraterrestrial radio signals, and it’s so big, this massive metal structure, that it’s hung in a round valley on these towers so that it can be manipulates, and its’ hung in this valley that they scooped out with bulldozers, and made a perfect bowl, and then they planted grass with a telescope in this bowl, and they put cattle on the grass to keep it short. So here’s the world’s largest radio telescope staring out at NG33264 with a six billion channel analyzer searching the noise that drifts between the stars for some clue to extraterrestrial intelligence. Meanwhile, two hundred feet below the telescope in the dung of the cattle perfect specimens of stropharia cubensis are proliferating furiously, being gathered by the local …tourists who talk to extraterrestrials back in their motel room. So, you know, it’s errr a strange game [audience laughter].” [see video below]

McKenna conceptually performs here the old patriarchal 'trick' of dividing the 'internal' from the 'external', and pays more homage to the internal experience which he feels is the psychedelic experience. This is a patriarchal mode of operation that goes way back, and this pattern emerges in all its belief systems and institutions.
 They divide reality into separate categories and have one category more superior than the other, so examples are: male & female, spirit & nature/matter, light & darkness, mind & body, life & death, etc and all the former categories in the list are thought to be superior and their latter oppo~sites, inferior, and often they will disappear one category altogether so, for example, Physicalists will try and explain away even mind/consciousness and argue 'only 'matter' exists"'. Of course this unfounded 'scientific' assertion creates all kinds of problems for understanding reality.

So I spot McKenna doing the similar here in his talk separating 'psychedelic reality' from ''nuts and bolts' reality'. He looks down his bohemian-intellectualized nose at people and their reports of actual UFO and alien observation and contact, but bigs-up his own,  and others, 'inner' experiences of DMT-inspired UFOs and 'aliens'. Terrence simply cannot expand his inquiry to respect both views, and so condemns those who explore the opposite 'external' category.
I keep putting commas round term s like 'internal' and 'external' because I suspect this cultural conditioning  of separating dynamic wholes goes deep and acts as a great barrier for understanding UFO phenomena, and the paranormal in general.

I personally am investigating a mysterious interelationship between internal and external. How can it be anything else? That is a question, and not an assertion.  We are both subjective and objective beings, you cannot have one without the other. It is impossible to be wholly 'objective' or wholly 'subjective'. Though we can use those terms and it can conceptually make us think by doing so they are independent, in reality reality is dynamically interrelated wholes.

I recently gathered, after reading an article about the beginnings of a so-called scientific investigation into the UFO phenomena, which began in 1966,  that all scientific inquiry into UFO reports and alien contact was stopped in the United States --where President Nixon's world-wide so-called 'war on drugs' was instigated-- in 1970 because the report's conclusions stated the investigation 'has no value' in continuing research. It dawned on me that at roundabout this same date the same had happened to psychedelic research which also was officially claimed to have no value. So here we have two extraordinarily important fields of inquiry which, simplistically for now, can be called extrarordinary 'internal inquiry' and extraordinary 'external inquiry' officially squashed at the same time?

It is therefore very fruitful to know and remember this:

 science doesn't know what matter or consciousness is, and,
 we don't even know how we perceive reality. 

So straight away we explore from a certain position of 'I know that I don't know'. And we have to add that this does not even mean we will ever fully know what reality 'is', and would  'fully know everything' even make sense?
  For if we keep in mind dynamic wholes, which defy and confound the conceptualizing analytical  rational gaze, with known must always be unknown, and so there will always be mystery, because there's no such thing as 'all completely known'. But we can go deeper, because reality is depthless.

In the video transcript above where McKenna, like UFO researchers such as Jacques Vallee and others of that ilk, try and argue all UFO phenomena as being part of the human 'collective unconscious' and psychogenic (though Vallee also includes 'black ops'--secret man made advanced technology, and psyop techniques such as abductions and so on similar to Greer), sharing  this Jungian way of thinking about the subject of UFOs and aliens is one of the main pioneers of psychedelic psychotherapy in the west, and  founder of Transpersonal Psychcology, Stanslav Grof:

 “As a result of my personal observations and study of UFO literature, I realized very quickly that the attitude of mainstream scientists toward this phenomenon was simplistic and inadequate. Like experienced UFO researchers such as Jacques Vallee and Alan Hynek, I came to the conclusion that we are dealing with observations that represent true “anomalies”  and seriously challenge our established concepts of reality.
I became convinced that the two alternative explanations offered by materialistic science---hallucinations of psychotic individuals and misperceptions and misinterpretation of some natural human-made objects---were painfully inadequate efforts to capture the nature of these enigmatic experiences. I also felt that it was very unlikely that we were dealing with actual visits of physical extraterrestrial beings. We have enough information about the planets of our solar system from unmanned probes to know that they are unlikely habitats for such visitors. And the next possible point of origin of such interstellar journeys would be Proxima Centauri, separated from us by 4.2 light years. Spacecraft from such destination would have to travel at a speed approaching or exceeding the velocity of light or use interdimensional travel through hyperspace,
I concluded that the UFO experiences were phenomena sui generic ["of its own kind/genus" or "unique in its characteristics"], anomalous  events that represented a radical challenge to mainstream scientific paradigms and required a radically different explanation. I read with great interest C.G.Jung’s book Flying Saucers: A Modern Moth of Things Seen in the Skies (Jung 1964). In it Jung reviewed accounts of UFO-like visions reported throughout human history and suggested that these experiences were manifestations that had their origin in the imaginal world of the collective unconscious. According to him, they were thus neither hallucinations nor perceptions of material reality, but belonged to the twilight zone between consciousness and the world of matter. Jung thus relegated the UFO phenomena into the realm of consciousness research and transpersonal psychology. I found his argument very convincing and saw it as a justification of my own interest in this area.” [quoted from his book, When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Reality, (published 2006)] [Emphasis mine]

So as we see, Grof's psychogenic theory of UFOs and their occupants of having no 'actual autonomous' reality except as projected from the human collective unconscious  mainly originates from Carl Jung, and his book Flying Saucers : A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, first English publishing in 1959

McKenna also says elswhere "The collective overmind of our species is the source of the UFO"

 and , "The UFO is a reflection of a future event that promises humanity's eventual mastery over time, space and matter."



But a recent article I found, about Jung, completely debunks that mono-viewpoint which yet again surreptitiously placed the human ---the ones with the science---at the centre of the universe.

According to the author of this article, the information your about to read was suppressed till the late 1980s:

Dr Carl Jung and the UFOs: The Real Story! -  UFO Evidence

In July last year, I received an email from Mr Chuck Schultz of Colorado [...] asking for information regarding the great Carl Jung's true opinion's about UFOs.

This happened to be a very important question on which I had done a lot of work in the years past, and which, as I knew, had involved one of the most disgraceful examples of denial and "cover up" that I had ever encountered.

I was able to answer Chuck Schultz's questions but it has struck me forcibly that this entire phase of UFO research history, involving Dr Jung, must be totally unknown to our younger readers of today!

So I publish below an account,  as succinct as I can make it, describing Jung's years of study of "our subject", the conclusions to which he finally came before he died in 1961, and the highly successful "cover story" maintained ever after to prevent the world from knowing what those conclusions were! [G.C]

As we know, when the "Flying Saucer Phenomenon"  erupted into human consciousness in 1947 and the years immediately following, the powerful folk of our world - politicians, military, scientists, doctors, priests of religion - all had their particular reasons for being deeply worried...and of course quite especially perturbed were those who called themselves "psychologists", "psychiatrists", and "anthropologists"...:

1. Dr Carl Jung Himself on Unidentified Flying Objects [Reprint from FSR Volume. 1.] (May/June 1955)

 In the course of years, I have  gathered together a considerable mass of observations, included in which are reports from two eyewitnesses known to me personally (I have never seen anything). I have also read on the question. However, I can only say for certain: these things are not a mere rumour: something has been seen.

 A purely psychological explanation is ruled out by the fact that a large number of observations indicate a natural phenomenon, even a physical one (explainable in part as reflections or temperature inversions).

The American Air Force (despite is contradictory statements), as well as the Canadian, consider the observations to be real and have set up special Bureaux to compile reports. However, the "disks" (that is the objects themselves) do not behave in accordance with physical laws, but as though without weight, and they show signs of intelligence guidance, by quasi human pilots, for their accelerations are such that no normal human could survive. [read more]

 
Our sense of reality, and being, has been and continues to be manipulated by control-freaks who withhold information about contact with UFOs and their occupants, and the possible understanding and access of advanced technology which could radically transform all our lives and help heal planet Earth from the centuries of abuse, and also wages a war against our natural freedom to ingest psychedelics, and explore their physical and spiritual healing benefits which includes healing the rift many people, brought up in traditional religious cultures, and mechanistic cultures, feel between themselves, and the human community, other species, nature and cosmos. 

It is true there is a so-called resurgence of psychedelic psycho therapeutic studies, but it is all laden down with bureaucracy and is in danger of becoming 'medicalized'--please see this great article: Psychiatric Power and Taboo in Modern Psychedelia.

 In a talk by a psychotherapist who is part of a psychedelic study, he showed images of magic mushrooms growing freely in fields and hills on a big screen, and then told the audience that in a street in New York City there is building containing an eight hundred solid steel safe within  which are are safely locked away capsules of psilocybin, strictly intended for the medical authorities carrying out the psychedelic studies, and the safe is weighed every day! 

 People in the UFO community talk about the need for "Disclosure" [dis ‘klo zhor] the act or process of revealing or uncovering; making known; freeing from secrecy or ignorance”]. This means those in power at last telling the people the truth, that there has been definite human contact with 'UFO' craft and extraterrestrial beings. And it is true more countries now are slowly allowing important information about UFO events to be declassified, yet the USA still refuses to follow suit and sits on it stubbonrly, but it is very important that we all see this information.

 What we already do know is adequate enough, for now, and more unfolds, to let us know certainly that there are actual UFOs and other intelligences on Earth and from the Universe which  radically challenges the anthropocentric worldview that only human intelligence exists in the universe and is 'top of the tree', so to speak.

 This situation is strongly reminiscent of the Copernican/Galileo revolution from the past where the Christian worldview was threatened because it was dis~covered that Earth was not centre of the universe as the religious worldview had told us. The Christian authorities were so determined that was not true, and how 'the people' must not be told the shattering (for them) information that they refused to look through Galileo's telescope to confirm the actual reality, and put him under house arrest, and didn't release the information for nearly two hundred years!

 Giordano Bruno

As for the even more radical Giordano Bruno, who was way before his time,  who claimed the universe was infinite and contained many planets with other beings, he was burned alive by the Christian dogmatists in 1600!

 In those days the oppressive system was State+Church and these days it is State+Scientism.
 Scientism insists that all reality is material, and human consciousness is a fluke which came about by chance via the Darwinian process of evolution.

In this weird scenario we find ourselves born into, and stretching out into his-story,  yes there is an organization called SETI ,which is abbreviation for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (UFO researcher Stanton Friedman names it 'Silly Effort To Investigate') willingly prepared and using enormously expensive technology to listen for alien life in the universe sending radio waves, so as to scientifically prove there is "life out there", yet the SETI people adamantly refuse to take seriously that life out there, most likely vastly more advanced than our current understanding of science, has been and continues to visit the life here, despite all the vast amount of evidence existing that this is actually happening.
 This scenario surely is a comedy of errors, and many of us as 'outsiders' are beginning to really explore what's going on.
