“Do you believe in UFOs?” is a question that we so often hear. As long as the phenomenon is viewed as a belief, the subject can be more readily trivialized. It might be more pertinent to ask, “Do you acknowledge the reality and importance of the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena?” In the past, academics and reporters might find themselves looking for a job if they dared to phrase the question in such a way.
Unfortunately, once we form a belief about “aliens” or any other subject for that matter, people tend to develop a kind of tunnel vision. You might say that they identify with the belief as if it were an extension of themselves. Once that happens, we risk ignoring important information that might contradict our beloved beliefs, ones that we so dearly identify with. When it comes to UFO studies, this is very common and why many discussions end up as arguments about various belief systems. I am sure I have been guilty of this too, but I try to be aware of when I am falling in love with my views and then fight to defend them as if I were defending my very self in a most unenlightened way.
Understanding the mechanisms of contact, the ways by which UFO intelligences use psi technology to stage their interactions with us is vitally important. In my judgment, understanding the mechanisms of contact is more important than determining at this time whether flying saucer intelligence is ET, inter-dimensional or coming from a non-material plane of existence that we have no words to describe.
Starting in 1992, for over 20 years I helped co-create with UFO intelligences what I call Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE). This activity is also popularly known as Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (CE-5). During my youth five decades ago, and later as a physician, I was a volunteer activist in the civil rights, trade union, anti-nuclear and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 1960s through the 1980s. Given this background, I approached contact work in the hope that I was promoting peace and, if possible, cooperation with UFO associated non-human intelligences.
In order to understand the intelligences responsible for what are now called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, we need to go beyond merely believing in their existence or acknowledging the reality of their presence. I suggest that to better know the so-called aliens we also need to discover who we truly are. Those that are passionately involved in this topic would all benefit from some heavy-duty introspection and then perhaps go beyond their own story to discover how flying saucers might play a positive role in the larger society.
In this process, we might want to ask ourselves the following questions. Are we a violent, cruel, egotistical and selfish race of beings that will continue to slaughter one another forever? Or will we take a higher road based on compassion and an acknowledgment of oneness, not only of all mankind, but of all intelligent life in the universe? These are challenges that go far beyond a belief in UFOs.
