Perception and the Layers of Reality

It’s obvious to some of us that we are surrounded by and sometimes affected by realities that differ from the one in which we are essentially immersed.

More often than we’d like to accept, those realities that abut or intermingle with our personal reality cause a number of reactions, one of which is a “diagnosis” of madness (insanity).

Most humans shrug off instances of “synchronicity” or déjà vu, feeling that they are moments of significant inconsequence.

But they are glimpses of alternate realities, sometimes happening so frequently that those perceiving them, and letting others know they are perceiving them, are considered mad (insane or mentally ill).

Persons who see a UFO or humanoids debarking from a flying saucer are not mad (insane) but adepts perceiving an enigmatic reality, a reality that is quite real, not imagined.

Hallucinations are, generally, perceptions of a bizarre reality, a fraction of a reality, or a glimpse of another reality that exists side-by-side with what we “normal” folks experience.

Shamans knew they were experiencing other realities and exploited their unique experience.

Alchemists were shamans gone rogue, beginning to try and perceive other realties but side-winded by greed or a search for mmortality.

Persons who’ve had a UFO experience or perception, generally, like those who have moments of déjà vu, shrug off their experience, excited initially but indifferent shortly thereafter. There is, as with alchemy, no worthy remuneration, generally.

While ufologists seem to be intensely interested in the UFO phenomenon but treat it as a scientific experiment or a thing to build a hobby upon, a kind of career.

Serious UFO enthusiasts, like artists, photographers, writers, scientists, et al. have to dig into the reality of UFOs – sorry Zoam -- as those notables dig into the reality of their concentrated reality

Kevin Randle deals with this in his latest blog posting somewhat, but I’m hoping to encourage UFO buffs to find a way to peel away the scrim that keeps the essence of UFOs (or their paranormal interest) hidden.

It is looking through a glass darkly.

Gathering a list of UFO sightings, past and present, take us nowhere,

Pinching the barrier that separates UFO events from our reality takes a new methodology or technological (“magical”) approach that provides the innards of what a UFO percipient is seeing (or experiencing).

Fortune telling, swapping lead for gold, spending nights hoping to grab a glimpse of a UFO, digging around UFO archives are futile.

The UFO reality needs to be snagged beyond perception. Something new, unique is needed to “grab” the phenomenon holding it still until it is fathomed.

This UFO snagging has to be a totally new, something not considered or thought of up to now.

It’s not SETI signal retrieval. It’s not analysis of old sightings/cases. It’s not photographs or film of lights in the sky. It’s not reportage of sightings. It’s not spectral examination, well maybe.

Whatever it needs to be has to differ from the folly of science or alchemical tricks or the hazy interpretation of shamans high on hallucinogens.

Otherwise, UFOs will remain enigmatic for some and irrelevant for others.

UFOs and the “bubbles” of reality

Copyright 2018, InterAmerica, Inc.

Nagging me are the views of persons who think there is an all encompassing, all connected intrusion of paranormal phenomena afflicting Earthlings: UFOs, ghosts, Sasquatch(es), MIB, fairies, chupacabra, orbs, sea creatures, et cetera, et cetera.

And while multiverse intervention is acceptable to me, it doesn’t really satisfy.

And the ETH for the UFO portion of the paranormal manifestations is out of the question for me, despite being something I wish was probable.

That people experience weird things is a given and not representative of massive insanity affecting society. (People actually do see or experience odd things that are not in the realm of what we would call normal reality.)

Paranormal events come upon humans, categorically, it seems to me. Those predilected toward things science-fictional or aerodynamic will see UFOs.

Persons preferring spirits or a belief in an after life or religious icons will see ghosts or saints.

Those who are Aquarians or water-oriented will be attracted to Loch Ness-like creatures.

Persons liking hairy animals or human-like creatures that seem to mimic early apemen or early hominids will experience or see Big Foot or Yeti.

People who have or had fears of eerie adults or secret government agencies will be accosted by MIB (Men in Black).

And those who come across chupacabra were likely bitten by a dog in their childhood.

That is, the mental makeup (and memory residue) will present persons with an entity or experience that has saturated their formative or obsessive lives. (This is where Jose Caravaca’s Distortion Theory comes into play.)

But are the manifestations listed above and some you can name outside reality, residing only in the mental configuration of humans? I don’t think so.

Throughout human history, men and women have been confronted by things seemingly tangible, leaving tangible evidence that bespeaks actuality.

Odd entities and queer things have interacted with human beings often and tangibly.

While one might lump all such things together as various phases of a paranormal reality, I see them as pockets (bubbles) of reality that can be categorically defined much like the breakdown of various species into sets and subsets: classification of species, genera.

Each category or defined “species” I’ve noted above (UFOs, ghosts, et cetera) exist apart from each other and are only listed generically as paranormal artifacts as if there is one genus, a mistake by some advocates of oddities that has beclouded the investigation of UFOs (or any one of the oddities I’ve listed).

I mean that each category, each bubble, that appears should be analyzed separately, just as orchid enthusiasts prefer to be sopped by that flower, not others or coin collectors eschewing stamps in order to concentrate on monetary artifacts or beekeepers preferring to work with honeybees and not hornets or wasps, although both bees and wasps have stingers.

To drag the MIB into the UFO equation is to corrupt the “bubble” that pertains only to things that are unidentified and fly.

Such inter-gathering of paranormal elements into one investigational category dilutes each and every separate element: ghosts have nothing to do with Big Foot, the Loch Ness “monster” has nothing to with UFOs, and the co-called chupacabra have noting to do with anything.

Let’s keep each “bubble” or external reality separate and apart.

That way we may come to an understanding of each or, at least one or two.
