Conjecture over what or who are aliens has prompted another lively debate in our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com with some members saying they (aliens) are beings from far away galaxies while others believe they are multidimensional or interdimensional beings; others claim they are time travelers from the future and still more say they are delusions of the insane and therefore don’t exist.
Sample comments from group members (names withheld) follow:
The breakaway civilization angle is interesting. Author William Gibson has a great quote. It goes something like “The future is here it’s just unevenly distributed.” I’m sure there are some technologies that are closely held somewhere. I don’t know what or who. I’m sure some private groups are guarding some secrets.
I’ve recently read Karla Turner’s last book, Masquerade of Angels. It was published right before (or after?) she died. From what I understand, she was very outspoken that the intentions behind abductions were to use or harm humans. Through the experience of the subject in her book, he was dealing with a hostile race of reptilians. The procedures performed on him would match some of the statements made about human’s being referred to as containers – which in my own research and experience I am finding holds a lot of credibility.
I also have a pet theory that humans produced an advanced technological society prior to the last ice age. Real evidence is lacking but there are a lot of clues that point to it – especially artifacts produced in Egypt that are best explained by advanced machining.
I do not know if these beings are from other planets or other dimensions. I do believe that there are creatures that reside within the realm of Earth, just outside our perception, and are responsible for some of the spiritual abduction encounters. This is actually my current focus in my new project.Anatomically modern humans have been around for at least 200,000 years with brains that worked as well as ours do. Is it really logical to assume they spent 190,000 of those years just hunting and gathering? So given that, I wonder if some group of humans developed some technology and are still around somehow. It could be something banal like space travel technology or something weirder.
I’ve recently been leaning toward the angle that aliens are denizens of the inner planes. I mean that in the Neoplatonist/Hermetic sense. Not sure how it translates into out materialist world view. Also, Jung’s Collective Unconscious is close to what I mean.
Alternately, I haven’t entirely abandoned the tulpa idea. Perhaps we have collectively created aliens and given them some sort of existence without consciously meaning to.
There are theories that the rest of the universe is not as dense or physical…and that other lifeforms out in space are therefore interdimensional.
I spent much of the past two decades as a futurist, trying to forecast future trends in technology. I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s an awful lot of mass media work taking place to prepare the public not to panic when there’s an official “first contact.”
