Are UFOs mind-created?
Material in Arthur Koestler’s The Roots of Coincidence
[Random House, NY, 1972] allows one to consider that UFOs are created by the
mind of person(s) seeing them and, perhaps, even creating them.
“Our universe is no truer than that of the neutrinos – the
exist in a different kind of space, governed by different laws … In our space,
no material body can exceed the velocity of light, because at this velocity its
mass and so inertia becomes infinite. The neutrino, however, is subject neither
to gravitational nor to electro-magnetic fields, so that it need be bound by
the this speed limit and may have it own, different time. It might be able to
travel faster than light, which would make it relativistically [sic] recede in
our time scale … mental entities, it appears that they have no definite locus
in so-called ‘physical’, or, better, gravi-electromagnetic, space …This kind of
perception involves a mental interaction, which is subject to laws of its own
…” [Page 64]
“ … Eccles …believes that ESP and PK are weak and irregular
manifestations of the same principle which allows an individual’s mental
volition to influence his own material brain, and the material brain to give
rise to conscious experiences. He also reminds us of an unduly neglected
hypothesis, which Eddington formulated in 1939, of a ‘correlated behaviour of
the individual particles of matter, which he assumed to occur fro matter in
liaison with mind.” [Page 76]
“ … one reason for the erratic nature of ESP …[is] our
inability to control the unconscious processes underlying it. Grey Walter’s
experiments were not concerned with ESP, yet he [realized] that the ‘readiness
wave’ will only attain sufficient strength if the subject is in a state
described as ‘a paradoxical compound of detachment and excitement”. [sic] [Page
128]
What is being addressed above is the suggestion that those
who wish to partake of an ESP experience needs to be relieved of excitement and
emotion and need to be in a state of “self-transcending emotion.” [Page 128
ff.]
This goes to my previous conjecture that those seeing or
experiencing a UFO event do so when they are in habitual zone of activity;
that is they’re doing something rote and routine, such as flying a plane,
gardening, picking flowers, hiking, or any other activity during which they
enter a quasi-somnambulistic state of mind.
But Koestler goes further. He delves into quantum physics,
positing that the “theory” allows for the mind to create material matter (or
things) which have the appearance of reality but are actually illusionary.
“ … in Einstein’s cosmos and the sub-atomic micro-cosmos,
the non-substantial aspects dominate; in both, matter dissolves into energy,
energy into shifting configurations of something unknown. Eddington summed it
up …’The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.’ … On both the cosmic and sub-atomic
scale this intimate, tangible relationship turns out to be an illusion.” [Page
59]
“In his 1969 Eddington Memorial Lecture [ Britain’s most
respected neurophysiologists, Dr. W. Grey Walter] reported, laconically, that
harnessed to an electric machine, by an effort of will, one can influence
external events without movement or overt action through the impalpable
electric surges of one’s own brain.” [Page 123]
That the mind is able to create “realities” ex nihilo seems
to be what cosmologists say nature did in the creation of the Universe [The Big
Bang].
Koestler, in this book – and previous book The Ghost in the
Machine – indicates that creation occurs by thought – an interaction of brain
of mind actually. And a reality is created that appears actual but is
illusionary, although the reality is as concrete as the reality one finds
postulated in Quantum Theory (or Mechanics).
Does this mean that UFOs are created “realities”? Koestler
tackles that with much about the Pauli-Jung collaboration Naturerklärung und
Psyche which he sees as flawed although the work and Jung’s theory of the
archetypes appear to have a similar acceptance of intangible reality that is
tangible, in some sense.
My point here is that there are suggestions, by men (and
women), that raise the specter of mind-created reality (ghosts, for example)
and UFOs could very well be a created-reality that interacts with human senses
and the natural world and its accoutrements (radar, film, et cetera).
The matter is more complex than my précis here presents it
but I’m hopeful that some of you can or will address the finer points…
