The “Selected”

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.

A non-professional observation of how things are, in the world, our existence and reality tells us that persons (humans) are selected by fate and sometimes luck to be the recipients of good or bad, even moderate gifts and disasters. (This is obvious, yes?)

But the gifts (blessings come say) or adverse calamities seem to be nondiscriminate, but suppose they aren’t.

How is it that some people die young, others getting cancer or some other deathly disease, maybe just a deformity, while others win lotteries, are blessed with healthy bodies and handsome physiognomies, talent and gifts of various kinds?

Why do some people seem to be beset by mental catastrophes – schizophrenia for example -- as others are granted the abilities to enchant with cultural refinements – flair with art, music, intellectual proclivities, et cetera – even genius?

Why do some only see orbs in the sky as others see strange objects or actually seem to have encounters with “others” of an odd kind, and some, who desire with their whole heart and soul to see a UFO, never do?

There appears to be a categorical approach to our lives: we humans are selected for something special or something dire, a few not even considered.

 This has little to do with “determinism” and even less to do with “free will.” It’s a matter of selection, but by whom or what?

José Caravaca’s Distortion hypothesis touches on it, as does Jacques Vallee’s musings on what interferes with observers who think they’ve seen a UFO, or had an encounter with a fixture (icon) from the religious sphere.

But there is more to it than that. We are chosen – selected to get something from somebody or something beyond us – by a force or process that can sometimes be diverted or made incompetent, but never intellectually so.

(This is the shaman idea.)

I hate the approach to alleged shamanistic wonders, but great minds like Mircea Eliade and other thinkers give credence to the shaman way of things. But there is more to it than that.

Some persons I know think that psychedelics open the door to a kind of shamanistic awareness of reality or truth. But there is more to it than that.

The thrust of good or bad upon an individual comes not from my pal José’s “external agent” but from something much like that….José proposes an agency or mechanism that evokes “activity” that he’s vastly exampled in his writings.

I see an actual agent – maybe a god or God, despite Dominick’s sensible reservations about the possibility – something forcing upon us, or trying to, pleasantries and glories or evils and dastardly unpleasantries of some kind or other.

The greater evils are categorized as tragedies and lesser evils as unfortunate ills or bad luck.

The better or good gifts to humans are listed under benevolence or good luck.

But they have to come forth from somewhere or someone. They have to. Luck or evil has to have a form. They just cannot be formless, ephemeral ideas only. They operate in time and space. They are.

A brief note about the pending government “disclosure” of UFO encounters or sightings by the U.S. military

Even if the “documents” – concerning UFOs [UAP] about to be provided to the public – forthcome – don’t hold your breath. Even if they show a multitude of UFO observations, that doesn’t tell us what UFOs are.

They may confirm the UFO reality, but any sensate human knows that UFOs are an actual phenomenon.

Yet, we are still stuck in an unknown quandary about the things, are we not?

The Wish (psychological not the birthday kind)

The desire for extraterrestrials to exist and be visitors to our inconspicuous planet is running rampant lately. The reason – one at least – is the state of our fragile existence.

We hope for salvation, not from God nowadays, but from an advanced species coming here from who knows where.

My pals, here, Daniel likes the idea and Dominick sees the possibility as sensible, even scientific.

But it’s a forlorn wish. The astronomical realities mitigate against ET visitations. Yes, there’s a possibility of alien visitation but as (expert) Jacques Vallee sees it, the numbers of such visitations, indicated by UFO reportage is rather absurd.

Dominick’s suggestion that UFOs reported over and about nuclear missile sites or installations are indicative of extraterrestrial interest in our weapon systems.

That could be so, but nuclear weaponry is primitive. (Google advanced weaponry to see the vast array of weapons under development or actually already curated for use against enemies.)

And UFOs crashing all over the place, as ufologists insist have happened many, many times, is ludicrous. If there’s something here besides mankind thwarting UFO flights, that something would have to be a (divine?) super-human protector, which should make Dominick gasp for air.

Yes, I’d like UFOs to be ET oriented but that’s just a foolish wish from my sci-fi flavored youth.

José Caravaca’s Distortion hypothesis is on to something, as is Vallee’s anti-ET suggestions.

But Dominick’s ET preference, along with Daniel’s implied preference, are not to be thrown out the window.

After all, some wishes do come true.
