Along with this aerial activity were speculations and reports in popular lore of humanoid creatures dwelling in caves, bodies of water, or invisible realms. These humanoids varied widely in appearance; height alone ranged from a few inches to many feet. They possessed supernatural powers and sometimes kidnapped adults and children. These creatures, unpredictable and easily offended, were so feared that it was considered unwise to even speak their name. They were believed to be, according to one 17th-century account, "of a middle nature between man and angels." To see these humanoids, a person usually had to be in "fai-erie," meaning a state of enchantment. The traditional Anglo-Saxon name for these entities was "elves," now supplanted by "fairies."

Read enough of these stories and you will ask the question: why are they here and what do they want? A few of the books I’m reading have come to the same unique conclusion—that these unidentifiable crafts and strange entities, that from time to time interact with our world, are rooted in mythology and are all interconnected. They may, in fact, be myths that have come to life.

Beachcombing has never bothered to write them down, but he has a mental list of irritating academic titles ranging from ‘The Erotics of Medieval Backgammon’ to the ‘Semiotics of Transgression in Aquitanian Saints Lives’ etc etc etc. When he recently then stumbled across ‘Between One Eye Blink and the Next: Fairies, UFOs and Problems of Knowledge’ he reached for his cognitive pencil. But reading this work, by one Peter M. Rojcewicz, he was humbled. (Sorry, Peter). So much so that by the end of it he couldn’t believe that he’d never seen the connection between fairies and ‘alien’ sightings: and it is always a good sign, surely, when a writer makes you feel stupid?

This is by no means an original theory. Jung was already playing around with the folklore signifance of UFO by 1958. Then, in 1969. Jacques Vallee published Passport to Magonia where the French scholar looked at the curious parallels between aliens and fairies. Most, subsequent work, not least by Vallee himself, has pushed down the same tracks, e.g. Rojcewicz (1991), with the idea that whether or not fairies/aliens exist they represent essentially the same set of experiences and human needs. Of course, it could be argued that all supernatural creatures tend to fulfill the same roles be they fairies or aliens or the Virgin Mary. Still the parallels are there and they are striking.

Fairies are interdimensional elemental beings, Grey aliens are extraterrestrial beings usually with planetary associations e.g Zeta Reticuli. As to evidence, I have no idea what you would consider to be evidential so I rarely play an evidence card (for anyone).

The Irish form of Mescalito is the leprechaun, noted for playfulness, trickery, and—oddly—for leaving behind gifts in the form of food, just as the alleged "UFOnaut" left Joe Simonton a gift of pancakes.  It needs to be emphasized that whether we are talking of an experience involving Mescalito or one involving a kitchen chair, all of our perceptions have gone through myriads of neural processes in the brain before they appear to our consciousness. At the point of conscious recognition, the identified image is organized into a three-dimensional hologram which we project outside ourselves and call "reality." We are much too modest about our own creativity if we take any of these projections literally.

I'd be curious to know how the rest of the community interprets posts like this.  My spidey sense goes off pretty strongly here.

I'm skeptical any time anyone is absolutely convinced of anything.

Physical reality is our illusionary experience. Everything is energy, everything is created by our consciousness. The physical mind reports on physical reality, that's all it was made to do. Report, that's it. Anything else is an overburden, is over capacity and will only grind and wear like an overloaded truck.

The Higher Mind can see the entire valley, we can only see a very limited view of our overall path in physical reality. HM will suggest, point, emphasize, but our free will is the ultimate decision-maker. HM may know the best route is to turn left, we can turn right however, we will make every appt we ever made regardless of the choices.

To wit, the HM conceives, the brain receives and the physical mind perceives (and reports). This is why it is incorrect to say "seeing is believing", just the opposite.
