Fall From Heaven
Quote:If you fixate on nuclear blah blah, you completely miss the fact that it has never been a viable form of aeronautic propulsion and downplay the high likelihood that some form of electrogravitics has been in play since the 50s, at least at a clandestine level. And that many of the not-bullshit videos you will see on the internet today -a small list, I give you that- are the sorts of things you can build when you completely harvest several generations of American taxpayers while their bridges collapse around them and their nurses move back in with their parents.
Check it. Lockheed Martin just patented a portable fusion device. What kind of rinky-dink Jetsons bullshit do you think the space aliens are getting about in?
Quote:I'm aware this is coming off overly negative about Stanton Friedman and I don't actually mean it like that. Dude's 84. He can definitely retire. I think it just reminded me of my general disgust at ufology right now.
On the one hand you have the To The Stars scam-op combination, serving plagiarised and warmed-over 'best practice' interpretation from about a decade ago, presumably to provide air cover for increasing use of the proverbial toys in the proverbial underground bases. (There is also the somehow even stupider variant of this scam, with Corey Goode and David Wilcock. Worth mentioning that Catherine Fitts calls the Tom DeLonge circus "Corey Goode 2.0".)
And on the other hand you have non-esotericists going completely extra on the esoteric interpretation of UFOs. (Vallée, at least, is open about his Rosicrucianism.) Obviously, this particular interpretation is where the majority of my sympathies lie. But at the moment it seems so smug and self-congratulatory, as if this literally hasn't been the most thoughtful interpretation since the 70s. Asking non-esotericists about this stuff is like asking me about vaginas, and it shows. What in the fuck does bigfoot have to do with the fact there are ruins on Mars and that the whole place was very likely bombed a few dozen million years ago? Is this really where you want to start?
In 2018, there are only two worthwhile fields of enquiry in ufology and -here's the real tea- neither of them have anything to do with UFOs. There's a diligent analysis of the black budget and what monstrous things it pays for. And there's the experiential exploration of Reality with a capital 'R' which is best achieved via the actual practice of magic rather than talking about it. UFOs are an indication that this worldview is accurate, they are not the secret to unlocking it.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
