It’s hard to write about these esoteric topics avoid discussing the topic of Alien abduction /entity contact. The fundamental point that needs to be made is that entity contact is not a singularly western phenomenon, and it is not a post-1950’s “classic ufo culture” phenomenon. There is something much deeper at work here – far deeper than merely culturally colored hallucinations.
Many texts from the middle ages discuss succubi or incubi: demons that prey on the sleeping, seducing them and feeding on their sexual energy. This idea sheds a lot of light on the modern alien abduction phenomenon as most of these experiences take place in a sleep state and often these contact experiences are sexual in nature. For the Europeans of the middle ages it was demons from hell and for our contemporaries the entities are aliens from space, but the phenomenon operates in essentially the same way. I believe these two phenomenon are one and the same, colored by the subconscious influence of our culture. In my research on this topic I encountered the work of Jacque Vallee, who developed a similar theory called the interdimensional hypothesis.
I was listening to an interview Susan Clancy, the Harvard psychologist that “debunked” the UFO phenomenon. She says the contact experience is merely a hypnogogic hallucination (in a strange lucid sleep based altered state, which I have personally experienced). And this is in accord with what I have come to believe about the induction of the phenomenon. McKenna offers some hypotheses on the topic as he believes that the alien contact phenomenon is similar to the smoked DMT experience. However, it should come as no surprise that many scientists believe endogenously produced DMT plays a role in the sleep state. Of course we can explain anything superficially, or explain it away using reductionist models – in this case explaining how these contact experience occur. But the real question is why does it happen and could there be a deeper meaning to this? McKenna also offers some thoughts on this point, believing the entities to be intelligences from hyperspace, essentially a transdimensional communication. This brings us back to the idea of spirits and demons. Of course Shamans have been using a variety of techniques to induce altered states to communicate with these “beings” for thousands of years, but the links between shamanistic journeying and modern alien abduction go even deeper.
Many alien abductees report energy phenomenon, as if the “aliens” are making adjustments and tuning receptors – located in the very same chakras/nadis of hindu and buddhist spiritual traditions. And it should once more come as no surprise that many of these same experiences are reported by users of smoked DMT. Dr. Rick Straussman has an entire book devoted to the DMT experience and the role it could play in our spirituality, as it is an endogenously produced chemical. Now the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together.
I believe that what is happening is some type of kundalini related energy phenomenon, initiated, at least superficially, by the DMT (regardless of whether it is endogenous substance naturally released or synthetic and artificially released into the bloodstream). What is interesting is that the avid occult seeker of the Out of body experience trains him or herself to induce these altered states of consciousness using energy exercises to access other realms. If you have ever experienced the OBE, you will notice the characteristic activation of certain energy centers. With that in mind it becomes clear that the kundalini energy plays a huge role in producing altered states of consciousness, through the release of DMT and perhaps other substances, to allow us to access other realms.
Now we have a clear picture on the interelatedness of these phenomenon. Kundalini energy and DMT play a role in inducing a range of altered states of consciousness and in these altered states we can explore other worlds. The central question still remains: Are these realms purely hallucination, or are they reality? Or does such a division have any meaning? It certainly does not in the tradition of shamanism.
To err on the side of the (admittedly) crackpot for a moment, let us make the assumption that these realms are real. What can we draw from this? If these entities are real and perhaps are communicating data to us, then there is no doubt that they have been communicating data to us for a long time. Perhaps the great messiahs in our history were merely mouthpieces for entities they were able to enter into communication with while in an altered state of consciousness. What this means is that the so called “god” is really no more than an alien intelligence. What do these entities want and what is their interest in humans?
Some people would have you believe there is a code in the Bible. Some people would have you believe the Bible is the word of “god.” But considering the variety of contact experiences, whether naturally or chemically induced, it is clear that these entitities are quite varied and possess an intelligence. Can we then trust them to be our “god?” Can we even trust the messiah if he is merely the mouthpiece for some entity whose true agenda we will never know? Certainly not! Consider, for a moment, that the bible code is real and therefore it is true interdimensional communication. This means it is really nothing more than a guide from one alien entity or species of entity trying to control the destiny of our world. Putting Jesus aside for a moment, the “god” of Christianity is wrathful, angry, and sometimes downright narcissistic. We cannot be so naive as to think all these entities are going to be as loving and caring as McKenna’s machine elves.
Now this line of thinking opens up a true pandora’s box of questions. Perhaps the bible comes from evil entities? And what about the the bible code? Or perhaps the bible is actually the true tool to enter hyperdimensional god hood and perhaps it is the space elves who will lead us to a path of stagnation and dullheadedness? Or perhaps they have some evil plan beneath the veil? Ultimately, there is only one response to the questions: We just DON’T KNOW. In historical texts we find that some Shamans claimed to have contact with many of these “spirits” but there are few Shamans left and fewer that still practice the true art. We don’t know if these entities exist, let alone what their goals are, or how their intelligence and capabilities compares to ours.
Ultimately, these questions are irrelevant. Whether or not these entities exist, one thing stands very clear. Only trust what is written by man and his imagination. How do we know that some individual did in fact speak with “god?” And if he did and this entity told him some kind of “truth”, how can we trust to follow it? How do we know we wont be pawns in some game? How do we know we can trust something that refuses to talk to us directly? How do we know we won’t be the tools of the plans of some being as they dictate our actions through time and space? We don’t know. Only trust a man willing to say his vision is his own writing and the product of his own thoughts. “It was no divine revelation, it was my own imagination” – that is the word of God. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or telling you a dangerous truth. If God is a hyperdimensional entity than do not trust god, if God is some spirit in the cosmic consciousness than do not trust god, trust only yourself and your fellow man. Because if in fact these spirits are real, we do not know their true intentions and they may be far craftier than we can imagine. We should continue to explore and attempt to communicate in the altered state. However, we must approach such realms with caution and reserve. Data should be collected, hypotheses should be formed and tested, and the scientific method should be applied as much as possible. At the end of the day, we should remain skeptical.
We can only entrust the future of humanity to humanity itself. Lets unleash the true human within us! Forget the “plans” of “Gods” and their books, and forget the messiahs and their divine visions.
Instead, lets forge our own human driven path to creating a future of exploring and designing our own universe. Unless these “gods” have something practical to say, forget about them, and elevate your imagination and your psyche to the level of the godhead.
