SETI: The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence in All the Wrong Places: Part One

What is the real purpose of SETI?

Has SETI found any signs of intelligent life somewhere out there in outer space? Or is this outfit misguided? Is it on a wild goose chase? Is it barking up the wrong tree? If so, is it being used covertly by some other faction, and for a different agenda?

SETI, which is an outdated, low-tech program whose mission is to Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence, seems to be clueless, or in denial of where these ETs actually are.

SETI has been vainly endeavoring to listen for and find radio transmissions from outer space indicating intelligent life countless light years away, but it seems likely that no intelligent beings are sending us such transmissions, at least not that we could detect with our barbaric technology. If extraterrestrials are sending us messages, it's more likely via some sophisticated technology that's way over our heads. It seems that SETI's problem is that it's looking in the wrong place - or places. The SETI scientists and supporters deny the strong possibility that aliens are closer to the Earth then they want to admit. Either the SETI team is ignorant of the presence of extraterrestrials near or on the Earth, or it's a front that is hiding that facts from us. It's even possible that SETI has been taken out of the loop of actual top-secret intelligence regarding UFOs and an alien presence near the Earth. I'm talking about the military and US government's loop.

An authority on the matter, Stanton Friedman says, "I am convinced that there is indeed overwhelming evidence that aliens have been visiting Earth, or being tracked by military radar systems, are abducting earthlings, and are being observed by pilots and others all across the Earth." (Flying Saucers and Science by Stanton T. Friedman)

Could it be that the SETI people are pawns, set up so the public is duped to think the government is indeed listening to signals from ETs out in deep space? When in fact it really isn't? Stanton Friedman asks, why listen to signals from deep space when aliens are right here, although concealed from the public in general?

"Remember that the SETI community is not actually seeking ET intelligence: They are seeking signals - not intelligence and not beings." Furthermore, Friedman says, "The respectable part of the UFO community deals with the overwhelming evidence that ETI has visited Earth; I can find no reason to believe any aliens are merely sending signals to us."

So while the naïve SETI listeners waste time awaiting ET signals from countless light-years away, in hopes to discover signs of intelligent life out there, the real ETs are busy flying around the Earth, landing on it from time to time, abducting humans, conducting cattle mutilations, and who knows what else.

Countless reports support such evidence, and numerous eyewitnesses continue to reveal their experiences. Hence, extraterrestrials are making a definite presence here on Earth, leaving SETI in the dark. But the government has been endeavoring to cleverly covering it all up. Not too successfully, actually. Too many people know the truth.

For those of you who have seen the movie Arrival, doesn't it indicate that SETI was looking in the wrong direction? Experts were listening "out there," while the real aliens were "down here" all along.

Although many consider SETI a fringe program, it's closer to the mainstream than other ET-seeking programs, with its diligent alien signal-listening agenda, since it comes off as more easily believable than the idea that actual aliens could be right here in our midst. It's too bad that the UFO debunkers are squashing out people who have had actual UFO sightings, alien abductions, alien implants, etc. Apparently the SETI team is amidst these stubborn debunkers who have prevented journalists and eyewitnesses from getting the real facts across to the public. Unfortunately, the lame stories of UFOs and ETs that are found in the tabloids, or science-fiction books and movies, suggest that the whole phenomenon seems too ridiculous to be believed. And that's exactly how the US government prefers it as part of their clever cover-up scheme. Isn't it pretty obvious that SETI is an intrinsic part of these government UFO cover-up conspiracies? Most likely this is the real reason SETI was created, or allowed to exist; not to actually ever listen to alien transmissions, but to hide the real facts that an alien presences is already here.

Friedman says it nicely: "SETI is an exercise in futility foisted off by the charismatic scientists on the press and some of the scientific community. I am sure the intelligence agency personnel in the know about alien visitations think SETI is a great system for misdirecting the attention of everyday people and the media interested in space and visitors from it."

So is SETI being used as a front for the government's secret agenda and cover-ups?

Is it all smoke signals or a smoke screen?

Mythology's Hybrids: Human Imagination Or Alien Genetics?

There are many puzzling features in mythology, if taken as purely mythology, regarding the so-called gods. I say so-called because to my way of interpreting things, the gods weren't mythological but flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials with advanced technology, especially in the field of bioengineering or genetic engineering. A puzzling feature regarding the 'gods' and related tales, or even tails, are the half-and-halves (my phrase - you probably won't find it lasted in any index in any mythology text). But these half-and-halves, for example there were the Centaurs, Cupid (or Eros), the Harpies, Mermaids or Mermen, the Minotaur, Satyrs, Sirens, the Sphinx, the Chimera, Dragons, the Gryphon (or Griffin - alt spelling), the Hydra, Pegasus and the Questing Beast, are just scratching the surface of the sum total of those represented in our ancient mythologies.

The interesting point is that these hybrids are universal within that collective mythology. That is, they appear across all cultures; all geographies. Anytime something supposedly mythological, is represented everywhere, it's time to sit up and take closer notice that things might not be quite as mythological as things first appear.

Where's the body-on-the-slab-in-the-lab evidence? With no fossil evidence of any such hybrids, perhaps this is where mythology overrides reality. Perhaps it is just a natural pondering to wonder 'what if' human abilities could be combined with some other animal's abilities; or what a composite of one animal's body parts attached to another animal's body parts might achieve.

But then again, maybe that's not the case.

Now clearly, a lot of people, our ancestors, went to a lot of valuable time and effort to create or depict in often quite considerable detail all over the world, the who's who, and what's what, in tens of thousands of paintings, literature, statues, figurines, murals, monuments, carvings, pictograms, hieroglyphs, etc. to what we (their descendents) would call nonsense - purely imaginary entities. But I maintain our ancestors would not go to extraordinary lengths to devote precious resources into making images of beings they knew to be imaginary. Translated, they believed with all their hearts and souls that these beasties, globally numbering in the multi-hundreds, whether 'gods' in various combination's or lesser mortals (human-animal) or purely animal-animal forms, really existed. Multiply that by more multi-hundreds of 'normal' mythological characters that have been honored with thousands of monuments, and well there's apparently a whole ancient expensive and often backbreaking industry devoted to what again, we superior modern descendants of theirs, believe to be nothing at all.

As an exact parallel, 'modern' human have built and erected all manner of monuments, memorials and statutes to really real historical people. Many are on display in all manner of public parks for the pigeons to rest their weary wings on.

Then again, in our modern era, nobody designs and builds cathedrals just to provide work for the construction industry, but rather because the relevant powers-that-be, the instigators and designers and fundraisers of cathedrals firmly believe there is a being who deserves such monuments to be built in his honor. Now the fact that being probably doesn't exist, at least as a supernatural creator deity, but rather just one of many of an advanced race of extraterrestrials is irrelevant. You build the cathedral because you believe that being exists - full stop. Atheists don't build cathedrals. Okay, our smart-as-we-are ancestors believed the half-and-halves really existed.

Now that we've seen some of the puzzling anatomical features associated with the half-and-halves, beasties that are composites of two or more terrestrial life forms, here's a hard as solid rock case study that not only illustrates time and effort but might highlight why human imagination is not at work. There's a very large life-size statue from ancient Assyria housed in the British Museum of a winged, human-headed bull (probably representing Shedu or Lamassu). That would be odd enough, but in this statue of a bull with wings and a human head, you find that the bull is depicted with five legs (please note I can count up to five!). Now, if you were to design from scratch a mythological beastie, one thing I'm pretty convinced of is that you would NOT give it five legs! So, I ask instead, is this statue a representation of one of the 'gods' genetic experiments?

Now before pursuing that tack, we're all aware of the various plants and animals we've artificially selected for via breeding pairs of organisms that have the sorts of characteristics we desire such as leading to faster horses; disease resistant wheat, cuter puppy dogs, etc. Sometimes we interfere at the cellular level to increase the pace of the changes we want. We've all heard of genetically modified food or genetically modified organisms; of DNA from one species being spliced onto the DNA of another species. We've heard of harvesting animal tissues and organs for transplantation into humans. We've come into the era of the designer baby, or at least prospective parents undergo genetic counselling and testing before having children. Having children is no longer hit or miss and take your chances. And it won't be long before babies will be made-to-order if the parents so wish.

Now imagine the genetic tricks a highly advanced, if somewhat amoral race of ET's were to use terrestrial stock to further their genetic research and agenda. Even several hundred, far less thousands of years in advance technologically of us could produce the half-and-halves of our mythologies.

So, were the half-and-halves of our mythologies evidence of genetic and bioengineering experiments by the 'gods', the 'gods' own version of "The Island of Dr Moreau?" If these hybrids are not the wild imaginations of our ancestors, and standard Darwinian natural selection cannot adequately account for them, then it's clear an alternative artificial selection mechanism must be contemplated instead. What on Earth (or off Earth) could be the driving force behind such artificial selection - behind the required bioengineering or genetic engineering required? Well, unless your best guess is better than my best guess, ET, that's who.

But then it all ceased to be; then they all went away, either literally (as I suspect) or within the human imagination (and if so, why?).

One thing I'm convinced cannot adequately for the massive range of our mythological hybrids are fossils. Fossils cannot explain the half-and-halves. There aren't going to be too many buried skeletons of a lion minus its head that just happens to have a human skull in the immediate vicinity to explain the Sphinx. And what about the odds of finding the skull of a falcon minus body that just happens to rest next to a headless human skeleton and thus explain several of the Egyptian 'gods'?

Now clearly some of these half-and-halves beasties are going to ultimately prove to be mythical - figments of the human imagination invented for reasons now lost and buried by the sands of time. Some cases are probably of real beasties we all know today but embellished for reason or reasons unknown and probably unknowable. There's going to be cases of linguistic misinterpretations or misunderstandings or errors in translations. Then too there's going to be cases of someone who told someone who told someone who told someone who told someone over many miles and probably generations before the tale was written down. The 20th generation retelling of an 'eyewitness' account explains some of the half-and-halves.

But are the mythological half-and-halves all really products of pure human imagination and embellishments and 20th generation retellings? If that be the case, why are there no more recent equivalents, in the multi-hundreds, in our 'modern' (say within the last 300 years of fictional literature, later films and TV) apart from those taken directly from our mythological ancient history like Mermaids? Nearly all 'modern' literature's creations are human (Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Harry Potter, and Captain Kirk as examples - even if they do come from another planet like Superman or Mr. Spock). The Creature from the Black Lagoon was humanoid; ditto the Wolfman who at no time was represented as being a wolf's head on a human body or vice versa. Frankenstein's Monster was still human, even if patched together. Dracula may have been able to shape-shift into a bat, but he never was actually half-human and half-bat - ditto Batman. Even Donald Duck was still a duck; Mickey Mouse was just a clothed talking mouse. Some of the Egyptian gods were represented as half-and-halves, but The Mummy wasn't! So, if all is assumed to be human imagination, then there's this discrepancy between way back then and recent history. The one obvious 'modern' exception is the well known novel "Island of Dr. Moreau."

The "Island of Dr. Moreau" was originally a novel published in 1896 by H.G. Wells with film adaptations in 1933 (as the "Island of Lost Souls"), 1977, and 1996. It basically deals with vivisection and an obsessed scientist who conducts profane experiments in evolution, eventually establishing himself as the self-styled demigod to a race of mutated, half-human abominations. This all takes place on a remote island, the inhabitants being those experimental animals being turned into strange looking humans by one Dr. Moreau - the obsessed mad scientist in question. I'm just substituting the ancient 'gods' for the more modern Dr. Moreau; the so-called mythological half-and-halves for those modern fictional experimental animals turned into abominations.

That 'modern' novel aside, you may think the ancient mythological menagerie - if entirely imaginary - exhibits quite an intense range of the human imagination in the creation of half-and-halves. I'd beg to differ. There's an immense array of potential half-and-halves possibilities that apparently have never been realized, or at least popularized. The whole plant and invertebrate communities have largely been ignored, which may make sense from the biological reality of a genetic engineering standpoint. I do realize that Hollywood has rectified this with several versions and sequels to "The Fly" and B-Grade films like "The Wasp Woman", and probably several other B-Graders in that vein. But 1) those cinema features were relative rarities in terms of modern half-and-halves images and 2) there was never any possibility of mistaking those films for anything else other than social commentary and/or entertainment, just like the novel by H.G. Wells.

Anyway, as to what might have been imagined by our ancient ancestors, but never really was, though I do seem to recall a mythological human head on an octopus body, but that was about it when it came to the invertebrate and plant kingdoms - no lobster heads on a human body; no human heads on a slug; and as for humanoid rose bushes - forget it!

However, when talking real modern half-and-halves, one would be remiss not to mention Mothman, a winged hominoid with glowing red eyes, associated with the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia around the period of November 1966 through December 1967. Mothman's been the subject of several books, dozens of articles, and at least one motion picture ("The Mothman Prophecies" - 2002). However, there have been no sightings since. Perhaps Mothman's a purely imaginary half-and-halves case, one never before or after seen. Maybe.

Finally, there might be a really real modern version of the 'gods' and their half-and-halves. If UFO / alien abductions are to be believed, taken at face value, (somewhat backed up and supported by animal mutilation cases), then the alien 'gods' - collective now called the 'Greys' - are still manipulating human genetics and further progressing with the evolution via artificial selection (breeding) of the human species, as well as their own, for the apparent objective is nothing less than a human-alien (or human-grey) hybrid. That this is implausible, well, recall from mythologies around the world those human-animal hybrids like the Satyr, Sphinx, Minotaur, Mermaid, and a host of others.

A Chilling Insight Into the Extraterrestrial Life

I don't know how many people believe in extraterrestrial creatures. Evidence of aliens and their contact with the human race and life on planet earth can be traced back as far as written history goes. There is evidence in every culture around the world, including those lost millennia ago. Nobody is sure whether their visits indicate a future invasion or just to create a friendly contact.

(Our) History of Aliens:

Several ancient paintings from around the world showcase their bonding with alien culture. There is a photo of Nefertiti, the Goddess who lived in Ancient Egypt, When you notice this Goddess's head, her skull is extremely elongated, which would mean that her brain would be much larger than a normal human's. Therefore making her extremely intelligent. There is actually a statue of her in a museum in Egypt currently. Several pictures in Ancient Egypt portray some of the Gods or Goddesses with extremely large elongated heads.

There was a skull found in Peru, with an elongated back. This is clearly not a human skull, we have been fed a variety of unlogical explanations as to why this skull has this formation. Several like it were found in Peru with small variations

We were told in schools that the great pyramid of Egypt took 40 years to build and it's purpose was to bury 'a' pharoah. Come on guys, are we that dumb and were they? Of course not, who would spend 40 years of hard labor building a pyramid just to stuff a dead body in it after 40 years of hard work. That hardly sounds logical for such an obviously advanced culture as the Ancient Egyptians. They invented their own language for god sakes, are we to think they were dumb enough to spend 40 years sweating their guts out for only burying 1 body. That is one the stupidest thing we've been told of. In Mexico the group of pyramids including the pyramid of the sun are known by people in Mexico by legend as "Place where the gods touch the earth." In all evidence this probably means where the aliens landed. Where they touched the Earth... Think about it, the pyramids are large stone monuments in Mexico with steps going down the sides. What better purpose for the steps than to allow the aliens to climb down the pyramids to the ground. That is the most logical reason for their construction. And to think that a primitive race could build something so incredible is not that logical.

On the eastern side of Puerto Rico there is a place called, "El Yunque" rain forest. It is the only rain forest that United States of America owns. This forest is kind of a controversy to the government and the citizens of Puerto Rico. Problems have arisen between the government of Puerto Rico and the USA involving the ownership of said forest. But what comes to mind is, What is there in "El Yunque" that really interests the USA so much as to prohibit the entrance to the populace at certain hours at night, the strange involvement of military exercises late at night, the seeing of strange alien craft and its occupants?

The island of Puerto Rico was inhabited by Indians who believed this forest to be a sacred mountain where gods set foot from the sky, they believed their good god Yuquiyu lived there and often came down to teach them the ways of life. (Aliens)

Christopher Columbus discovered this island in 1493-1500 AD in his travels near the island at night he saw flashes of light coming from the mountains of the island calling them "Fires from Saint Peter", what today we would call a UFO.

Either the aliens loved the rain forest ambient, or they couldn't find a way to repair their ship and so opted to live inside it (this brings the theory that it was a passenger or colony ship). And so the Indians saw them as gods.

Alien Abduction:

There have been many unknown cases of Alien abduction .About 2500 odd people in the world have experienced missing time (abduction) .One of the most famous of them was the incident that happened on the night of October 10, 1973, wherein there was a UFO sighting by fifteen different witnesses who saw a strange, unknown object fly over a housing project in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana was a redefining point of their lives. What happened exactly has still been kept under wraps.

The Unknown: (Classified information)

Likewise when a UFO crashed outside Roswell in July 1st, 1947, and was recovered by the military, their presence in our lives was broadcast around the world, only to be covered up the very next day by our government.

Major Philip J. Corso stumbled upon a few alien artifacts sent from Fort Bliss, Texas on 6th July, 1947. He had come across a goods vehicle in a warehouse that was off-limits and was just about to reprimand him, when the driver opened his truck door and showed Major Corso something both would've never even dreamt of. When the major gave a look inside one of the several crates he was dumb struck to see a four-foot, human-shaped creature with...bizarre-looking, four fingered hands...and a light-bulb shaped head. The eye sockets were oversized and almond-shaped and pointed down to its tiny nose, which didn't really protrude from its skull'. Corso found an army intelligence document that described the creature as an inhabitant of a craft that had been retrieved from Roswell, New Mexico As he shone his torch around the warehouse, he noticed that there were over 30 similar crates stacked against the walls. Major Corso quickly covered the crate , gazed at the driver and asked him to forget whatever he saw and that nothing of that kind was ever in his truck. It was later classified as a national secret .This information was recently enclosed by Corso in his book "A day at Roswell".

Later when the spaceship was checked by the authorities the first object that was found was a set of clear, flexible filaments, made of something like glass, wherein each individual strand conducted a beam of light along its length. They then found several wafer-thin squares of material that were about 5cm across and that appeared to be made from a type of plastic. A tiny pattern had been etched into the plastic. It was understood to be some type of advanced circuit board, the likes of which mankind had never seen before. The next item out of the crate was a greyish material, which, could not be bent, cut or torn without the material springing back to its original shape. It was a metal fibre with the physical properties of what we would call today 'supertenacity', relatively common now, but unheard at that time. Next was pair of dark, elliptical eyepieces. These were as thin as human skin and had originally been attached to the eyes of the creature allegedly recovered from the crash. The eyepieces illuminated images in low-light conditions. Although they didn't provide perfect night vision, they allowed the wearer to pick up shapes where previously none could be seen. He also came across a description and sketch of another device. It contained a power source, and looked like a stubby torch. However, the beam from this interstellar 'flashlight' was so intense that it caused objects to burst into flames. Scientists linked cattle mutilations with this device.

In this cattle mutilation, huge oval shaped incisions around the jaw bone and in most cases the exposed jaw is completely removed, and the tongue removed from a precise incision deep in the throat. Also observed is the additional removal of at least one eyeball, the sexual organs on both sexes. All organ removal and incisions are being done with surgical precision. This has led investigators to believe the use of some sort of high heat cutting device, such as this torch like device had been used.

But why cattle? Well the most feasible explanation might be that cattle blood is so similar to humans that it can be used in the lab to create human blood plasma. Indicating the aliens may be studying the cattle, to find out more about us. The investigators came to a conclusion that these alien creatures had just one intent in mind. That they were genetically altering humanoids and that they were harvesting biological specimens on earth for their own experiments.

Based on all these alien abductions scientists predict that crosses of aliens and humans are being made, so that they will be able to live amongst us without our knowing!!

Throughout the 1960s, several companies brought about a number of so-called 'miracle breakthroughs', and nearly all the objects that Corso saw and read about were in the documents or crates he examined that day in 1961. Fibre optics, integrated circuit chips, night-vision goggles, lasers and supertenacity fibres became commonplace. Corso claims that anyone who has used a CD palyer, a modern computer or made a transatlantic phone call has come into contact with alien technology.

If the aliens were hostile, and wanted our planet for its resources, they would have taken it away from us centuries ago when we still thought the earth was the center of the universe, not now when we have nuclear weapons, lasers, and space crafts of our own.

They may just be hiding it from us, I don't want however to go into conspiracy theories. I don't have any proof of that. The following picture and paragraph are in my mind absolute proof that advanced beings were here on Earth in Ancient History. To think that we are the only planet amongs the many billions of other planets in the universe with intelligent life on it is kind of arrogant and misguided. What makes us so special? Life can form in the most inhospitable of places like in the bottom of the oceans where there is no light, and where temperatures are very unfriendly. There is no doubt intelligent life out there somewhere. Someday we will surely meet some of them.

The overwhelming evidence of UFO's from past civilizations on Earth is the most convincing proof I can think of. Giant stone edifices like the Great Pyramid, or the Nazca Lines in Peru are some of the best proof. They still stand today while modern day UFO sightings only last a few minutes. There is no possible logical way found that our ancient cultures could have build such amazing monuments such as Machu Pichu, the Great Pyramid, The Nazca Lines or even Stonehenge. What most likely happened is that after doing many great things on Earth, these aliens took their stuff and left Earth leaving behind many proofs that they were once here.

Whether we choose to see the truth or not is up to us.

Dark Conspiracies and Extraterrestrial Secrets, Part 3

We've been trying to narrow down what secrets the government has been hiding from us involving the whole UFO phenomenon. The problem is there's too much information and disinformation in circulation. There are conspiracy theorists, whistleblowers, alien abductees, UFO and alien eyewitnesses, UFO investigators, and so forth, some of which could be total crackpots, or just wild yarn-spinners. Then we have the disbelievers and skeptics, and the covert government operators, some of which are probably Men in Black, and then we have the military and the government and its intelligence agencies that are trying to cover something up. With all of these people and groups on the loose, how are we the public to know what to believe? How can we discern the truth from the lies?

Can we trust the whistleblowers, many of whom have written fascinating books on how they revealed the truth after keeping government secrets for so many years? Case in point: Col. Philip J. Corso, who wrote The Day After Roswell, claimed many questionable things in his book, one of which is that he inadvertently peaked into a crate containing a dead alien at Fort Riley. And his claim that our military maintained a space war with extraterrestrials, not to mention an alien Cold War, is highly questionable also. Although there is a lot of fascinating information in his book, I've been questioning its reliability now, especially since various skeptical individuals have accused Col.Corso of being just another whacked-out crackpot; and yet others have said his book contains a mixture of truth and unresolved data, if not fabrication. So the question is, was he an independent crackpot, or did the government deliberately send him on a mission to write a book filled with propaganda, containing half-lies and half-truths, in an attempt to further confuse the masses with disinformation? Or was he an honest whistleblower trying to reveal the truth of something he was once ordered to keeps secret from the public? We may never know, since he has recently died.

Bob Lazar is another so-called whistleblower who has come out of the government closet, who claimed that he analyzed an alien spacecraft at Area 51. Bob Lazar says he was part of a reverse-engineering operation with an extraterrestrial saucer craft, finding ways to use its propulsion systems for our own aircrafts. Critics have denied his claims, so it's hard to tell if he's just another crackpot, or someone trying to reveal the truth.

Jenny Randles is a UFO investigator who believes Men in Black have been harassing and silencing witnesses of UFO phenomena for the last several decades, at least since 1947. She also reports that they have been thwarting and scaring various UFO investigators also, to stop their research endeavors, sometimes quite successfully. After interviewing countless witnesses and reporting her case studies in her book, The Truth Behind Men In Black, it is obvious that these mysterious MIBs are a large factor in the ongoing UFO cover-ups, although it's still not clear exactly who or what they are, whether or not they represent the government, the military, extraterrestrials, or if they are simply masquerading hoaxers. Whoever they are, are they covering up more than just UFO sightings and alien abductions and alien encounters? The well-hidden truth of what the government is still trying to hide from us still eludes us, but will we ever find it? Will the whistleblowers and investigators and the eyewitnesses provide enough evidence to blow the lid off the whole UFO cover-up?

How long can the conspiracies and the cover-ups last? And how long will they last before it's too late? When we discover the truth, will it be right in our faces and will there be panic in the streets? Will there be huge flying discs hovering overhead in every major city?

Or is this imaginary scenario just another ploy, another titillating cover-up just to keep us busy while the government is still keeping its best-kept secret?

Otherworlds That Are Really Other Worlds Out Of This World!

A fairly common thread in mythology is someone coming across or visiting or being taken (kidnapped even) to some sort of magical land or place inhabited by exotic, even supernatural, beings, often god-like deities and/or often the Fairy-Folk types. However, upon return to their natural world, there's no apparent similarity between the interval of time that person thought they spent in that enchanted realm and the elapsed time between that person exiting their normal abode for enchantment-land and re-entering their natural world later on down the line. For every day or week or month that person spends in the land of enchantment, perhaps a year or more of their natural world time passes. For example, we have the mythological (or is it?) enchanted land of the Otherworld.

The 'Other World' (Slavic) or 'Otherworld' (Irish, Welsh and Celtic) in mythology tends to be a mysterious, enchanted, fabulously wealthy land, a land of fantastic pleasures, the land of (usually dispossessed*) gods, goddesses, and Fairy-Folk that is literally out of this world. It's sort of like the Promised Land that resides towards the west, located in the oceans or beyond the seas. Note it's the 'Otherworld', not the 'underworld' - two different concepts.

The Otherworlds (in general - they're quite a few of them) tend to be places of rebirth where the dead get resurrected back to the land of the living. Call those rising-from-the-dead, sort of like what Jesus Christ (an extraterrestrial 'god') did, though he's but one of many 'gods' with that talent according to mythology.

While fairies are known throughout the cultures and mythologies of the world, such as with the Maoris of New Zealand, they tend to be most associated with the Irish, Celtics and Welsh. Further, Fairy-Folk tend to be extremely long lived (quasi-immortal, like the mythological gods), maybe even really immortal (or as close to it as makes no odds) in their Otherworld, again depicted as a land of eternal youth.

The Celtic / Irish / Welsh Otherworld is kind of like the ancient Greek Elysium (or Elysian Fields), a land of paradise also situated just somewhere to the West, but without the bit about being dead, although apparently some get to Elysium without dying. Regardless, in Elysium you're granted immortality or become immortal, which is kind of like a rebirth, although death and rebirth were certainly Otherworld themes - part of the Otherworld environment.

My general or overall interpretation of the Otherworld(s) is that it's a high-tech, quasi-utopian planet in another (probably not too far away in astronomical interstellar terms) solar system, inhabited by quasi-immortal, shape-shifting beings we tend to call the modern UFO abduction era 'Greys' or the equivalent, the historical Fairy-Folk, perhaps even home to some of the more traditional 'gods' associated with our mythologies.

Relevant to the case history immediately below, it's worth noting that the Fairy-Folk (as well as the gods) have the ability to be seen only by those who they want to be seen by, just like the Norse Valkyries can only be seen by a Viking warrior about to die in battle before being escorted to (a sort of Norse Otherworld called) Valhalla. There the Viking warriors are resurrected and live to fight another day for the Norse gods like Odin in the coming final battle known as Ragnarok. This ability by Fairy-Folk and the gods and associated hangers-on to be visible to only those they wish to be visible to have a parallel in modern UFO abduction lore. Abductions can take place right under the nose of those who aren't participants. They see and hear nothing, though by all rights they should have. The abductees usually are made unaware of the experience - some sort of mental block - though such deliberate attempts at amnesia haven't been entirely successful, otherwise the UFO abduction phenomena or scenario wouldn't be such a major and ongoing topic.

Case History #1: An unseen woman (obviously a Fairy-Folk or 'goddess' of some sort) except to an Irishman called Conla, lures him away to the Otherword in a ship of glass, a crystal coracle, never to be seen again. Now a coracle is normally a small round boat composed of wickerwork or interwoven laths covered with skin or canvas - it's not made of glass or crystal! The 'boat' used by Conla in his voyage with the invisible woman to the Otherworld sounds a lot more like a shiny metallic round UFO IMHO.

Now people disappear all the time, and I'm sure that applied in our ancient past as well. A few (more probably back then than now) disappeared through some sort of natural mishap - being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Most people voluntarily disappear themselves be they criminals on the lam, people dropping out of society, children running away from home, parents running away from each other and their kids and family responsibilities, political refugees, etc. That accounts for probably 99.9% of people seemingly vanishing. But there is a residue, perhaps like Conla above, of people who do vanish under rather mysterious circumstances. In the UFO/abduction area, take for example the October 1978 case of Frederick Valentich, a young pilot flying a private plane on a short trip from Melbourne to King Island under ideal flying conditions. He and his plane vanished from sight while he was in radio contact with Melbourne flight controllers, reporting a UFO hovering over his plane. His transmission ceased at that point - go figure. But to this day, neither he nor his plane has ever been seen again.

Case History #2: The Scottish Thomas of Erceldoune, otherwise known as Thomas the Rhymer was escorted by the Queen of Elphame to fairyland (Otherworld) for an apparently brief period, but upon leaving found that seven years had passed.

Case History #3: An Irishman named Oisin had a bit of a fling with the fairy princess Niamh in the mythical Irish land of Tir na nOg (Land of Youth), the land of fairies and elves (Fairy-Folk), a land of eternal youth. It was a mystical place, an island (planet?) that lay beyond the edge of any known maps (outer space perhaps?). Oisin lived with Niamh in the Otherworld for three years, but when longing for, and finally returning home to old Mother Ireland, found that he had returned 300 years later - all his friends and family were dead, surviving himself long enough to relate his tale to Saint Patrick.

Now in any sort of modern context or interpretation, regarding those latter two case histories, that's nothing more than Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity's time dilation effect - the Twin Paradox. The closer you travel towards luminal (speed of light) velocities, the slower time (rate of change) ticks over for you relative to those you left behind who are not travelling at close to luminal velocities. Thus, when you return home, you've aged less relative to those who stayed at home.

To continue with modern parallels, I might broad-brush alien races here which may (or may not) be in cahoots or at least in some sort of association or alliance. We have the 'chosen few' and the 'victims', in modern terms called the 'Contactees' and the 'Abductees', and their associated extraterrestrials, which are...

The modern UFO abductees are associated with the UFO 'Greys' which in turn might be akin to the mythological Fairy-Folk (lumped collectively together), which might have an association with the Incubi/Succubi and related types prevalent in the Middle Ages.

In the TV show "Stargate: SG-1", the 'Greys' were shown to be the Asgard race, well the Norse. But that's okay for the real Norse too had their elves or Fairy-Folk - Their Muspelheim was the land of dark elves; Svartalfeim their world of (run-of-the-mill everyday) elves.

UFO abductions (via the 'Greys') have Fairy-Folk kidnapping parallels. And just as Fairy-Folk have been associated with the abduction of humans (like say to Otherworld), that applies ditto to the gods who could abduct you and take you 'upstairs' or 'downstairs'. You could also often be abducted for sexual purposes by the gods. Modern abductions (as in UFO abductions) have a common theme of sex. Sex with, unwilling human victims is nothing new, like in the Middle Ages.

In the past, like around the Middle Ages (though the track record goes all the way back to Mesopotamia around 2400 BC), you had similar tales with respect to the Incubi and Succubi - legend claims that demons both male and female sexually prey on human beings, generally during the night when the victim is sleeping. Incubus/human and Succubus/human couplings are sometimes said to be able to conceive children. The half-human offspring of such unions are sometimes referred to as a cambion. There are exact parallel tales of infant hybrids between humans and the 'Greys' of UFO abduction fame.

The modern (1950's) flying saucer Contactees are associated with the 'Nordics' otherwise call the 'Space Brothers' which might have an association with Jesus Christ like varieties of angelic-like 'gods'.

The question is, where stand the standard pantheons of the polytheistic gods or extraterrestrial 'gods' in this scenario? IMHO, somewhere in-between the angelic-like 'Nordics' as physically perfect specimens and the 'Greys' in terms of their personalities and actions, which can be rather callous and uncaring.

In conclusion, Otherworlds as other worlds, and out of this world, is a part of mythology that's relevant to all those interested in astrobiology, ancient astronauts and UFOs.

*Presumably by the rise of Christianity and monotheism forcing the polytheistic 'gods' to pack up their bags, exit stage left, and return home - to their Otherworlds.

Plenty of Evidence For Paranormal Phenomena

Media Skeptics (or pseudoskeptics as we call them) are fond of saying, "There's no evidence for any paranormal or psychic phenomena" no matter how much evidence is shown to them, even if it's a mountainful. They always find excuses to deny or dismiss the evidence, even in the most unreasonable and irrational manner, then go back to repeating this claim as though it were a religious Gospel Law that could never be overturned. This is extremely aggravating because it's like trying to reason with someone who chooses to be blind and ignorant, and in total denial of facts and reality.

But the reality is that for some popular paranormal phenomena such as ESP or ghosts, there is plenty of long standing evidence of several types - anecdotal, experiential and scientific. Controlled scientific experiments have yielded positive results for ESP for many years. From the 1940's with JB Rhine, to the current day with Dr. Charles Tart, Dr. Gary Schwartz, Rupert Sheldrake, and many other scientists, positive and consistent results for psi have been found to exist far above chance under controlled conditions. And series of psi experiments that have been repeated for years known as The Ganzfeld Experiments, Autoganzfeld Experiments and PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) have yielded statistically significant and consistent results above chance as well.

In addition, the anecdotal and experiential evidence is overwhelming. Studies show that at least half the population of the world has had paranormal experiences, and according to the National Science Foundation, "60% of American either AGREE or STRONGLY AGREE that some people either possess psychic abilities or extrasensory perception". That's A LOT, no doubt. Common sense would tell you that if half the people in the world have experienced something, then it's pretty much certain that there's something to it other than fraud, misperception and fantasy, especially since a good number of these experiencers include credible down-to-earth people as well. Likewise, large percentage of people of all types from all walks of life have experienced ghosts too.

So you see, the evidence for such common paranormal phenomena is huge. As Parapsychologist Author Dean Radin has said, the evidence for psi is so solid and robust that if the same quality of evidence existed for something non-paranormal, it would definitely have been accepted as proven. But because the paranormal is considered taboo in the scientific establishment, there is a sort of censorship and knowledge filtration toward it. There is an automatic negative stigma and bias toward it that assumes that only crackpots believe in such things. So any scientist who openly supports the legitimacy of paranormal phenomena seriously jeopardizes their career and image among their colleagues. Thus, most scientists who believe in some paranormal phenomena will not declare it publicly, but become close enthusiasts. Mr. Radin discovered this, as many scientists confided in him their secret unofficial interest and belief that some of the paranormal is real.

Even in regard to UFO's, there is plenty of evidence for them of several types. UFO photos and videos are controversial and vague of course, but many credible eyewitnesses, including Air Force Pilots and Astronauts, have seen them. They've also been tracked on radar doing aerial maneuvers that man-made aircraft could not do. (And as you know, hallucinations do not appear on radar.) In one famous official incident known as the Washington Merry Go Round Incident of 1952, jet fighters were scrambled to intercept UFO's after they had been tracked on radar. Afterward, to quell public panic, the incident was quickly dismissed though never fully explained. Nevertheless, something significant happened to trigger the alarm and scrambling of fighters, and it wasn't "zero evidence" for sure. But if you think that UFO evidence is strictly confined to obscure sightings, think again. The famous Bentwaters UFO Incident that occurred on an American military base in England in 1980 involving two dozen military witnesses, including Colonel Halt, of an up-close UFO sighting, remains an undebunked and compelling case. And after years of extensive investigations and interviews with Alien Abductees by Budd Hopkins and John Mack, who wrote books on the phenomenon, they concluded that there was more to the abduction experience than mere hallucination or sleep paralysis. In addition, public coalitions such as The Disclosure Project have brought forth a large pool of high ranking government, military and intelligence officials and insiders, over 400 currently, who have confessed to personal knowledge of government involvement with UFO's and ET technology, and the cover ups and secrecy surrounding it. (See a video of their testimonies at a public conference here)

Now, that's certainly NOT "zero evidence"!

Nevertheless, pseudoskeptics who claim to only want evidence continue to declare that "there is no evidence" when they get plenty of it from credible sources. Obviously, they are in a state of perpetual denial and cognitive dissonance. They deny and filter out anything that doesn't fit into their materialistic reductionistic view of reality, especially anything that has to do with paranormal or conspiracies, no matter what evidence is presented, even if its documented and scientific. One thing they are they not open to is possibilities. Any possibility that challenges the views of the establishment is simply not possible to them, even if the claims of the establishment itself are not scientific or contradicted by facts. It doesn't even have to be paranormal, it can be ANYTHING that opposes the official version of events, including conspiracies and lies by corrupt government officials or even the existence of shadow governments (which were acknowledged to exist in the 80's with the Iran Contra Scandal). Thus, their bias and blind faith in authority as dogma is revealed.

Even if a highly credible source with a long history of accuracy suddenly makes a paranormal claim or a claim against an established view, they automatically dismiss it as bunk before even looking into it. If they do look into it, it will not be to learn the truth about it, but to debunk it. They will even deny evidence from scientific experiments as well. All the while, they tout, "Show me the evidence. Where's the evidence?" Yet when they are shown the evidence, they merely dismiss it or ignore it, acting as though they heard nothing, then go back to repeating that there's no evidence. I've seen them do this for years, in the media, on websites, in forum discussions, and on my own mailing list. It's as though they were deaf and totally belief oriented, seeing only what they want to see.

The problem for pseudoskeptics is that their denial and cognitive dissonance does NOT erase the evidence from reality. It may erase it from their own minds, but it does not the erase the evidence itself. Thus, it can be said that they are deluded and do not face up to reality.

Some examples of pseudoskeptics' denial of evidence and cognitive dissonance:

* If a psychic or medium gets an amazing hit, either something highly unusual and specific that doesn't apply to everyone or a deep dark secret about you that no one knows, which could NOT have been due to cold reading or guessing, then it means nothing to the pseudoskeptics, who will say that it must have been a lucky guess, or due to fraud or your own faulty memory, because no one has psychic abilities.

* If witnesses experiences a ghost, they must have been hallucinating, have an active imagination, or lying. Ghosts don't exist, so it must have been something else.

* If people see UFO's, including trained Air Force Pilots and Astronauts, then they must have misidentified natural phenomenon, because alien ships don't exist, at least not near Earth. And this is so even if radar picked up objects performing maneuvers impossible for man-made aircraft.

* If psychic abilities are demonstrated under controlled conditions (e.g. PEAR, Ganzfeld, SRI), then there must have been flaws in the protocols or lack of controls, because psychic abilities are not possible. Pseudo-skeptics then demand repeatability and peer review. But when they get that, they then ask for more repeatability, from skeptical scientists as well. The bar is continually raised until a skeptical scientist finds or imagines any flaw in the experiments and declares them debunked. Only then are they satisfied. Clearly, they only want a particular result (only chance results), not the truth. If it doesn't get debunked, then they accuse the experimentors of improper controls or deceit, as Randi is infamous for doing.

* They claim that no psi study that shows positive results has ever been published in credible scientific journals. Yet when they are shown citations that they have, they simply become deaf and ignore them. Then they have the nerve to simply repeat their lie again, as if they never even heard you! This is very infuriating and dishonest

* If a resuscitated patient has an NDE or OBE where he/she sees details that they could not have known about, then it must have been lucky guesses or unconscious memories, because there is no soul that can leave the body..

The Astonishing Revelations of Bashar - Part I

The being who identifies himself as "Bashar" claims he is from a natural world (Essassani) between astral and physical matter representing a "missing link" between heaven and earth. A black equilateral triangle with a blue light behind it symbolizes the Essassani civilization. Essassani means "Place of Living Light." Bashar says he is from 300 years in our future, and 500 light years toward the Orion Constellation. He is genetically related to humans: a hybrid between the grays who are a type of "human" from an alternate dimension of our world and actual humans from our own time and location. This information may sound very far-fetched, but it answers so many questions regarding the purpose and nature of the numerous UFO abductions by "gray aliens." For those who are too skeptical and have no patience to more seriously investigate such "far-out" realities as UFO's, Bashar, spiritualism, other dimensions and higher vibrational universes, let me tell you this:

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." - Albert Einstein

Is Bashar (Channeled through Darryl Anka) in fact an actual extraterrestrial in a "first contact" with our civilization? How is it possible that Bashar who can speak with such humor, wit, scientific clarity, knowledge, wisdom, precision and conviction be just an elaborate trick or just a hoax?

His phenomenal wit, humor and wisdom, strange vocal ability, instant and precise knowledge on any subject (some of the Atlantis history he gave has been verified from two other completely different sources; his decades long strength of will, determination, planning and sense of purpose; intense sincerity and honesty; and other unique qualities, make it very hard to just dismiss this quite lively personality (or personalities) as just an incredibly elaborate daydream, split personality, fantasy or hoax.

Bashar comes through as a real and loving personality (along with other "alien" personalities as well) straight from the heart and who, like some sort of immense, all-knowing super-computer, instantly, sincerely, scientifically and methodically answers any question (no matter how difficult or simple) by anyone who asks. Darryl Anka seems to be channeling an intelligence so advanced it is quite often beyond our own comprehension! He sounds as sincere as anyone can ever be and has no desire to control, interfere or indoctrinate others. One can find a rather extensive collection of "Bashar" videos on YouTube, usually more than 550 recordings. Simply look up keywords, "Bashar, Essassani, and channeling."

Darryl Anka, I would have to say, is one of the most outstanding examples of spiritualist mediumship since the time of the great British spiritualist medium Leslie Flint (1911-1994) even though Leslie Flint provided a completely different kind of channel as a rare direct voice medium using ectoplasm, but not as a trance or channeling medium like Darryl Anka.

The mental medium, Darryl Anka, while in a kind of "trance" or dream state of consciousness, picks up and transmits the thoughts of a celestial being or beings distinctively different in voice and personality from Darryl who claim to be extraterrestrial in origin.

Most of the time it is "Bashar" (meaning messenger of good news) who comes through talking in a very animated and convincing manner on all aspects of "The Secret" yet from a more expanded perspective from which many of Bashar's principles of reality, philosophy of living, etc., are covered with a rather startling scientific precision very unusual for any "New Age" channeling of this kind. The mind of Bashar (and his companions) are like computers in how they organize their ideas, communicate their thoughts and answer questions from individuals in the audience with great humor, assurance and the confidence of total authority. Their timing is precise and these beings take full charge of the audience until the session is finished when Darryl's awareness finally comes back to his body with little or no memory of what had transpired. One way to describe Bashar's personality would be a combination of Ester Hicks' Abraham and Robin Williams' rather humorous, fictional character, the extraterrestrial "Mork" on 94 episodes of "Mork and Mindy" from 1978-1982.

There is a "News for the Soul" radio interview with Darryl Anka and Bashar lasting one hour that reveals phenomenal mental and vocal powers impossible for an ordinary human being. Scientists cannot explain how this stretching of pitch and tonality is possible for the ordinary human voice. Also discovered by scientists is an unusually high amount of "connectivity" in Darryl's brain. Please visit Bashar's website for more information about Bashar and information regarding times and locations of the latest demonstrations given by Darryl Anka.

Bashar speaks with unprecedented precision on consciousness, creation and reality. At beginning of one of his recordings, Bashar talks about his solar system with breathtaking clarity and detail, then goes on to cover other subjects.

Bashar and the others who come through the channel Darryl Anka give a very definite curriculum, perfectly organized in its presentation and delivery. Bashar gives many seminars and retreats every year and his work is growing and becoming increasingly popular. The subject he talks about most is the nature of reality and how to best relate to it for maximum success. One of the main principles of reality he gives is regarding one's internal state of being and how the state of being is vastly more important than outside situations or circumstances. Bashar would state over and over in one of his talks, "It is your state of being that matters, not the situation." Meaning that we create our reality by how we feel and what we actually believe to be reality.

The reality that we endure or enjoy directly reflects like a mirror one's state of consciousness. No matter how hard one may work to make life joyful or successful, one may never make it until one's state of consciousness is also serene, successful, and joyous. There are four very important laws that are always present in every dimension, every situation, and throughout all time: 1) We exist (can't do anything about that); 2) The one is all and the all are one (the universe is holographic); 3) What we put out is what we get back ("Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap"--Galatians 6:7-10); and 4) Change is the only constant, except for the first three laws! What he says regarding time is that every second is simply just another aspect of the Eternal Moment or Eternal Now we are simply looking at it from a limited viewpoint. From a higher perspective, viewpoint or higher state of consciousness, all times throughout history become accessible and appear as one great moment.

Much of his knowledge reflects what one can find in movies such as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep Do We Know?" yet on a deeper and expanded level of conviction, explanation and demonstration. He instructs everyone to go beyond faith into absolute knowing because knowledge is far more powerful than just faith alone. His concepts seem to always be consistent, vast and scientifically correct. He has an absolute command of the meanings of all the words of knowledge he gives out. Considering Bashar's lightning fast and flawless wit, he could win at any debate.

Even an ordinary word such as experience in the Essassani language has a very deep meaning. The Essassani word for experience is illi-akar. Illi means mirror or anything that reflects back ideas, feelings, thoughts, and images. Akar means consciousness. What better concept or definition of experience is there than for it to be considered as a mirror of consciousness? One's state of being or condition of consciousness is reflected as the sort of reality or life that one creates is apparent in the meaning of this word, illi-akar, mirror of consciousness. What one experiences is dictated by the definitions (belief systems) in one's consciousness. Like a hologram, the entire universe reflects to the observer some aspect of one's consciousness. Good thoughts, loving vibrations affect the behavior of particles around oneself in a positive (mathematically harmonious) way, while negative emotions tend to disrupt the harmony of surrounding particles tending to attract more negative outcomes than positive.

He also finds deep meaning in the words from our language. In the word, imagination he sees I, magi, and nation or nation of magicians! He wishes to help us understand how powerful we really are in our imagination. The potentials of imagination are huge and Bashar wants to teach us exactly how imagination can be used for creating wonderful changes. Another example is YOU-niverse; everything is you and there really is nothing outside of all that which is you which is everywhere and dwells in every living thing, especially in all the friends, family, strangers and acquaintances one comes in contact with. Whatever conflicts one has in life can only be with one's self, because absolutely no other reality, force, or aspect exists outside of you. There is only you and all that you experience is nothing but reflections of all that you have put out into the universe.

He says that any negativity or feelings of distress are caused by anything that we believe to be true that clashes with our own true nature. If we carry within ourselves any definitions (beliefs) that are not in harmony with the truth, we remain frustrated, fearful and/or unhappy. He says finding real happiness or wholeness requires redefining all definitions or beliefs of reality that we don't like into definitions much more in alignment with the truth of our true nature which is everlasting harmony, love, understanding, joy and bliss (wholeness).

I have written a great deal regarding near-death experiences in other articles. In one of his recordings, one can hear Bashar speak with absolute conviction as he states and explains the third law (see above) "what you put out is what you get back" and how obvious this law is because "there is nothing else, there is nowhere for it to go, there is no outside, there is only a here and now." To illustrate this law he uses the life-review during a near-death experience or after one dies as an example that we are all one consciousness and how essential it is to treat all our other "selves" in the strangers, friends, and family we meet along the path of life with all the utmost kindness, respect and love we can give. Even the Bible contains at least one statement in perfect harmony with the laws of quantum physics and universal consciousness: "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) Universal truths such as the Golden Rule have always been present throughout all the main religions. Bashar states, "If you create a vibration, who else is there to experience the result of that vibration?" There is only you, which exists in all others around you. The idea of space-time and separation from others drops away after one passes over into spirit and/or sees beyond the illusory confines of space-time or what yogis would call "maya" or "delusion." One hears no doubt whatsoever in his voice.

Bashar and his companions consider the inhabitants of our world to be the "masters of limitation!" Because we are living under very constrained conditions of both physical and mental limitations, we have developed extraordinary coping mechanisms to master or handle so many of the limitations we find ourselves in. Bashar states that the greatest cultural shock to our society will be when it finally realizes that all that seems to be "too good to be true" is in fact true. Having endured so much darkness, he says we have tremendous potential to "snap back" further into the light than any other culture.

Bashar's teachings on the "law of attraction" and related subjects are the most powerful, clear and extraordinary I have ever encountered. His knowledge comes to us from his multidimensional viewpoint, which to him is quite obvious and free of the confusion which so often plagues us "three-dimensional" beings. Bashar is here to help guide this world out of the darkness of limiting beliefs into a reality of spiritual light, love, abundance and universal peace and to prepare us for contact with other, much more advanced civilizations than our own. In no way does this article encompass the entirety of his teachings. There is much more to them than what I describe here.

Explanations for the UFO phenomenon have been given to us several decades ago from the unique perspective of spirit through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint via ectoplasmic voice box which creates actual human voices coming from the vicinity or energy field of the medium. If all this information sounds strange--well, that's because it is indeed very, very strange and unusual! Yet not one scientist could ever disprove this bizarre effect or phenomenon of Leslie Flint's direct voice through ectoplasm. Also the evidence of these voices is overwhelming: hundreds of recordings of genuine conversations (some up to an hour long) are now available to listen to over the internet proving the realities of the spiritual dimension.

For example, the late Stephen Ward (who in the realms of the afterlife was led to Leslie Flint by Leslie Flint's spirit guide Dr. Charles Marshall) spoke with Rosie Creet (a British lady who often sat in many of Leslie Flint's seances) in 1967 on the subject of UFO's and life on other planets and spheres of a higher vibration not visible from our world. Rosie Creet interviewed the late osteopath Dr. Stephen Ward (1912-1963) through the independent direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint on the 26 of October, 1967. This interview with the paranormal voice of the late Dr. Stephen Ward is available to listen to on the Leslie Flint Educational Trust website. This conversation does not start out right away and then his old style British voice can be barely heard at first. Other spirits besides Dr. Stephen Ward have also come through Leslie Flint's seances speaking on the subject of ufology, but I believe the spirit of Dr. Stephen Ward has, thanks to his genuine and personal interest on the subject, provided one of the best recorded discussions of this nature on the subject ever.

The spirit of Stephen Ward stated back in 1967 that these spacecraft come from higher spheres occupied by superior beings, and some are planets much larger than our own. They come in peace, eager to help the people of Earth. Unfortunately, it is man's density, and general lack of wisdom, compassion, and open-minded spirituality that prevents an all-out contact, or public landing (on the White House lawn for instance) right away.

Regarding an all out-in-the-open public "first contact," Bashar explains why it is necessary to proceed slowly. Bashar himself once humorously asked if you would land in the middle of an insane asylum where all the inmates are armed? Sadly, so many populated places on Earth are like that. A complete change in consciousness is needed before actual constructive physical contact can be publicly made between the governments of Earth and extraterrestrial civilizations such as Bashar's civilization. So why don't they contact us by radio? The same reason why spirits from the other side don't use that method, even though some may have claimed this effect to have occurred in the form of I. T. C. or instrumental transcommunication. Because these extraterrestrials are coming from a different level of vibrational frequency than matter they find it vastly more convenient to use telepathy as their means of communication with each other and through mediums such as Darryl Anka rather than through radios which are generally not capable of picking up telepathic signals.

So why not land in a remote area away from civilization? Numerous sightings of such landings have occurred for generations and many contactees have written about them. Even the famous astronaut Gordon Cooper had witnessed one of these landings at Edwards Air Force Base in the late 1950's. Not all reports may be genuine and the rare few that had been actual contacts were never taken seriously enough by most people and were usually flatly denied by mainstream science and government authorities. Fortunately this disbelief and nonacceptance by mainstream, science, media, government, etc., is starting to dissolve.

One more major obstacle to contact remains, and that is whenever the conditions are ripe for a physical contact to occur, a strange thing happens: because the rate of the spacecraft and crew's vibration is often of a higher vibration from that of life on Earth, anyone being approached by or trying to get close to one of these vehicles (especially if from a world like Essassani) often gets overwhelmed by intense spiritual energy. It is rather like trying to plug in a 12 volt light bulb into a 120 volt power source! The reaction is often extreme terror as all kinds of previously hidden emotions are awakened within one's self and the potential contacts, or individual(s) need to keep a very large distance until he or she or they can get ready to handle such an intense infusion of spiritual energy. For many or most people on Earth, it will take quite a while to get used to this energy, and in the same manner as a decompression chamber, one is to be gradually exposed more and more to this energy until one has fully adapted to it. Other than having to follow these precautions, it really is a very pleasant energy, one of tremendous bliss and love. Some of the more spiritually inclined and pure minded "Earth" people are much more likely to adapt and to be much more peacefully accepting of such an encounter. However, it is important not to touch the external surface of a recently landed spacecraft because they are usually very, very hot having traveled at such high speeds.

Entities like Bashar are eager to contact Earth at first to give warnings to humanity regarding some of the dangerous things we are doing to the atmosphere, oceans, forests, etc., that could permanently affect everyone's health and well-being. They also feel they could be a great help and benefit to a suffering humanity and wish to help in any way they can. The spacecraft visiting Earth are very real, not just illusions or imagined. These vehicles are inhabited by non-physical or semi-physical people with extraordinary intelligence and spiritual knowledge and they go to a lot of trouble to remain temporarily "materialized" or visible on the Earth plane long enough so that contacts, sightings and photographs can be made.

On one of the YouTube videos, A Brazilian realtor related his encounters with "5 dimensional" human-like alien beings at a higher vibrational rate and originating from a local star cluster (Pleiades) who are trying to warn the world of an extreme climate change (drought) which will take place very soon. Also they said there will be an overall energetic change in the world as a whole and tried various light, vibrational and sound experiments with this man while trying to increase his own vibrational rate and visual ability to perceive a golden light. They sounded like human entities with a man's and women's voice who identified themselves as two couples.

Entities or souls from different spheres have been trying to get in touch with our world for centuries. There is life of a very high order, far more evolved than we are on countless worlds throughout the universe. The conditions of Earth are very limiting and it is these physical limitations that have helped to keep humankind in the darkness on and off for eons and eons of time. Additionally, humans throughout history have also been their own worst enemy constantly preventing one another from creating a global utopian society based on love and universal enlightenment. A whole universe of worlds exist and most are of a higher or finer vibration different from the vibration rate of Earth and are in many ways more real, substantial, solid, expansive--much more progressed than our world.

I would like to relate the UFO phenomenon to what often happens on any plane (vibration) of existence, planet or world of the afterlife. Higher beings from a higher vibrational world would often come down to visit those of a lower vibration to assist, guide, entertain (with drama, comedy, singing and/or music) and support those in need. Many of the souls who spoke in the seances of Leslie Flint often visited residents living in spheres lower than theirs or were often in turn visited by superior beings from higher worlds in order to teach, help and inspire them as well. In a similar way Bashar is doing the same for us, here on Earth through the medium, Darryl Anka and through actual physical contacts in the not too distant future (sometime after 2015).

The spirit of Stephen Ward stated back in 1967 that these visitations from other worlds are benevolent and are for a very definite purpose. It is not done in fear, not haphazard and only for the benefit of all. Leslie Flint's boyish sounding control "Mickey" who often can be heard coming through at the end of the recordings to conclude the seances, stated that this phenomenon is definitely happening and that Stephen Ward has developed a special interest (in the afterlife) on this subject. Spirits in the afterlife can study (literally read books on the subject in astral archives) any subject they wish and ufology just happened to be one of Stephen Ward's favorite subjects in the spirit world at that time. He may have even viewed the akashic records, met some of these beings personally and gone with guides who may have actually traveled to other planets via astral travel.

We have covered in great detail new ground as a result of combining two completely different sources of information that remarkably confirm each other: souls speaking through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint and the channeled messages from Bashar of Essassani. It seems that we not only have plenty of evidence that UFO's exist, it is highly likely they are entering into our atmosphere from the higher spheres of reality consisting of the dark matter in our universe and from parallel dimensions "next door" to our own.
