The Heavy Stuff

Hello, and welcome back to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - a blog to bookmark if you want speculation into realities greatest mysteries. Today’s posting is an offshoot of THS’s  post earlier last month http://theheavystuff.com/?p=99 - having to do with just how strange the whole `ufo’ experience can be to an individual or even a group of individuals. It was in that post that THS speculated that occasionally, and perhaps often,  a  `UFO experience’ may involve `different types’ of entities.

THS, when mentioning different entity types,  wasn’t referring about the internet speculation (with some added  fantasy perhaps) that multiple alien races are here, permenantly,  in Earth’s biosphere and are probably interacting with humans (some say dozens of races). No, what THS was and is referring to  is `spaces’* (entities) which do not have an equal `basis’ of `common reality’ grounding - compared to a human. (Wordy, THS knows, but we will get much more specific in a bit.) Let THS attempt to explain:

[* Remember, much of the Phillips Phenomenology (PP) positions `space’ as a characteristic which must be actualized for an event to occur. The PP describes `different types of spaces’ - and where they occur.]

Type One - Aliens/Entities

(Real & Travel In Craft)

Type One Properties —> Real `physical’ alien - in the same manner that a human is `physical’ . A being with a birth, and, on-going, contiguous,  `space-time’ reality - rooted in our same human perceived outer reality that we as humans consider a  `common consensus’ - considered by all to be called our `real’** ontology. Type One Aliens are beings that do NOT exceed the speed of light for travel and are beings that travel by craft. They are beings that do not need to `become objective’ to reveal `their reality of space’. They would be beings as trapped in our common reality as we humans are.

**[In other words, if a class of 100 college biology students were asked in an auditorium classroom if any of them thought the lecture was a `being dreamed’ as opposed to being experienced while awake - all would KNOW it wasn’t a dreamstate. (Then again with college students who knows, right?)]

Comment - To humans at our 2009 level of consciousness, these Type One Aliens are the most real and `humanlike’  of all alien types. `They’ will probably have arms, legs, a head, be able to communicate with each other - etc - humanlike characteristics of which humans can identify. Nevertheless, `aliens’ of any sort are inherently scary to most humans, of course.

However, type one beings that travel `anywhere’ in the universe ONLY below the speed of light - can be assumed to be rare; very rare - in ANY one particular location, including Earth. That said, being very rare - in a near infinite universe - does not mean non-existent or impossible. Indeed, while of low probability to be at any one location in the universe - this would be the alien/entity type MOST likely to have an interest in living planets like Earth.

But, would such beings, Type One beings,  be so focused as `being here’ only in the last 60 years? (Or would it be another type of the four entity/alien choices THS will review?) Wouldn’t such type one beings be just as likely to have been here, around Earth, for at least the last few hundred million years? You know, coming and going at will over the millenia - perhaps staying on occasion for eons.

Could we really expect that more than a  handful would be `around’ in any given era like ours? (If they did `stick around’ how many `aliens’ would they need to have a sustainable population?) Could we really expect a huge increase within a short period of 60 years, that we seem to have experienced,  from beings that use  `moving craft’ in a `galaxy’ context? (If there has been such an increase in the last 60 years.)

Indeed, the idea of a sudden increase in `this type’ of alien - a type one alien/entity - just seems unlikely, logically. Why? Well, first, T1 beings living below the `light threshold’ would not even have knowledge of mans recent advancements - outside of a 60 year light cone. Could there really be a significant number of civilizations within 60 years that have humanlike entities that have crafts that go a significant % of the speed of light? And who would want to come HERE if they did have such `slow’ `interstellar’ craft? It simply seems unlikely.

———————–

All that stated, doesn’t it seem possible that a few - repeat, a few - species of aliens may be camped out semi-permanently on Earth or nearby planets (if they do have near light-speed craft)?It does to THS - but - at the same time - it also seems logical that there AREN’T - large numbers of different types. We can all quibble about what constitues a large number  within a 60 year radius or permanent level of visitation on all `live planets’ in the universe. (Meaning that other planets with planet and animal life would be just as likely as Earth to have monitoring `type one’ aliens.)

It might be a cool blog post to speculate `how many’ craftable alien civilazations might be within any given 100 mile light year `radius’? Why? Because if an entity had access to the universe `above’ the speed of light — there exists little reason to `limit’ oneself to the `local’ 60 light year light cone. Which leads us to the next logical type of entity:

Type Two - Aliens/Entities

(Real and Travel Without Craft)

Type Two Properties –> Real physical alien - in the same manner as a human is physical and the type one alien. A being with a birth and an on-going `space-time’ reality - rooted in a common consensus with similar beings on a planet with a real ontology - just like humans and type one aliens. Beings that can EXCEED the speed of light for travel and do NOT travel by `craft/structure’ in the strict sense of the word. Beings that `become objective’ to reveal their reality on Earth. (Obviously, the `how’ part of this is the `science’ side - or - `consciousness’ side — the esoteric aspect. On the science side, perhaps humans/aliens/beings can create machines that can be `stepped into’ and as the outcome - provide `bi-location’ for the `space identity’. On the consciousness side - perhaps some beings with intelligence on some planet somewhere have been able to develop - just thru `mind’ focus — an ability to travel the universe — and in essence - `plant’  their `space’ elsewhere/elsewhen. To THS, both of these `new location experiences’ - would seem to be within the rhelm of possibility if the concept of `dopplegangers’ is real. If there is a `space’ which can `be representative’ within `another reality’ (not connected by the light cone to the original now) - then the `doppleganger’ may be just the `vehicle’ needed. IT WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN THE MANY MANY TIMES THAT ALIENS HAVE BEEN SAID TO JUST `VANISH’. Because, it’s not really `their space’ that is here at all. It would be like having perception from an out of body experience taken to the 10th degree. Frankly, it, this explanation, would also account for the great variety of `beings’ - indeed, those of type two that are more rooted in `science’ travel — may be limited in the way that they can `appear’ based on some specific `programming’ - ones `space’ could appear as perhaps an animal or non-similar entity that was originating the `signal’.

Comment - To humans in 2009 at our collective consciousness levels - these `forms’ or alien/entities - are perhaps the most mysterious - as they seem to be possibly `more real’ than `more spiritual entites - like Type 3 & 4′ (which we will cover soon). WHY? Because things that seem totally solid, totally here - and then can vanish — does not fit our normal consensus reality. Is this how a Bigfoot can be within 20 feet of a human and compel that human to search to find a `real Bigfoot’ - again - for the rest of their lives? Or, how `beings’ or entities can come out of, or go into, a `glowing slot’ of space - as seen on the Bigelow Ranch.

Doesn’t it seem likely that many of the experiences that are described as paranormal are really an encounter with these `enhanced’ Type Two creatures? Doesn’t this really seem to describe much of what is taken to be UFO’s - speeding away at unbelievable’ speeds? Indeed, if we are ready to be honest as thinking humans - this type to alien - literally from a different world with a `common now’ (meaning the alien or entities world does exist as a planet within our timecone) and `common spaces’ to our Earth — seems to be the `main type of alien/entity’ that we as humans have encounters. That is, if we base the `population’ on the actual number of `high strangeness - close encounters’. (Certainly, there are more `lights in the sky’ stories. Remember, lights in the sky stories are a dime a dozen and could involve machines or crafts built by humans within the governments and militarys of the world.)

Key characteristic of Type Two alien/entity — `travel’ of being is accomplished by `structure’ of temporarily increased consciousness level or `increase’ in space bi-location via some `science’ methodology that enhances that ability of bi-locate. For the entity that `travels’ the travel is temporary and `not’ the `normal state’ for such a being.

Type Three - Aliens/Entities

(`Real’, Travel without Craft, Do NOT Live On Any `Planet’ Surface)

These beings are `real’ in `quotation marks’ - and do not appear `as real’ (solid - in a quantitative sense) as the many close up sightings of legendary creatures such as a Bigfoot (a Type Two creature). That said, they may be viewed as appearing in any `shape’ from an Orb to a `translucent’ or ghost like being — ie - an entity that doesn’t appear `solid’ - and appears to have a light basis. Somehow, a human that encounters such a `being’ `knows’ that it isn’t real in our normal sense — and furthermore - doesn’t seem to be able to have a `permanent time’ within our reality common consensus. These beings/aliens/entities seem to be operating on the energy from the local environment.

While it’s possible that these entities see `themselves’ in some on-going manner - it’s equally likely that - these entities have NO on-going consciousness of their own space. There is no reason that both types may be part of Type Three. But, even for `spaces/entities’ that see themselves in an on-going manner — it’s hard to believe that these `spaces’ were ever `born’ or that they `live’ on a planet. Indeed, these type of `spaces’ seem `very local’ and very temporal - probably distorting the very localness and temporalness of common consensus that humans live within on Earth.

Indeed, these seem to be the creatures of `our own making’ - mythology -  and iconic shapes and feelings - that can form into temporary `translucent’ type of `solids’. The land of angels as a possible origin for this type of entity also. For, if these are not `super-local’ specialized consensus events, then - they must be `timeless’ beings that permeate everything. These are the `Godlike’ `guardian’ type entities that Mr. Bledsoe reported (my recent post covers this - http://theheavystuff.com  - and that many many people have reported over the years). Likewise, Mr. Bledsoe also reported entities (translucent) with glowing red eyes — this also would be a Type Three entity.

These type three entities are perhaps the most frightening to humans (with good reason) — as they appear to be powerful `locally’. These spaces seem to be part of the human condition encountered by only a few. The limited number of `possessions’ would seem to fall into this category in general. Entities `built’ by the dilemma of the human condition of needing to embrace despair.

Type Four - Aliens/Entities

(`Real’, Travel without Craft, Human based - alive and dead)

This type of entity is very similar to Type Three except that it has a `singular human’ basis - either `prior’ or `current’ - as opposed to Type Three being a more `common consensus space’ with energy generally supplied by living humans. Indeed, Type Four entities could often be thought of as Ghosts or in the most extreme rare circumstance `a real doppelganger’. These entities would tend to visit or at least be most perceivable to  humans or places they `knew’ when alive.

While poltergeist events can be scary - often `visits’ from these entities are spiritually uplifting and not frightening. And, unless `called’ these entities seem to be short lived and infrequent to often being a just `one time showing’ after death - to a loved one — and often only in a symbolic manner or in a dreamstate.

Nevertheless, most humans consider the Type Four entity to be real and of our very essence - even beyond our own humanness. Indeed, type four entities give the human race hope that we are more than just our physical bones - and thoughts - and that we too - may be connected to the entities of our universe that can travel.

Make sure to visit our squidoo page too. www.squidoo.com/anomalies  - thanks.

This blog spends many posts talking about `the wonderous’ - including words spent describing such things as the reality experienced during mutual hypnosis between two subjects - and - even - `real subjectivity’ in our talks about the Pilots of Eastern Flight 401; who appeared in the flesh as themselves on flights that included the parts of their failed plane.

As you know, they appeared, as doppelgangers nearly identical to themselves, but `disappeared’ when their `realness’ was forced to confront the common human consensus idea of what was/is possible - after all, that is all that could happen - they were dead.

But, the IDEA of the pilots - the idea they had of themselves - as personally watching over L1011’s (the type of jet they crashed) - was not dead. And, was, in some manner -able to actualize - into a termporal `character’ — character in our meaning - the transformation into a space that `looked like’ the `information’ that represented what the pilots - looked like. Literally.

They were transformed - formed - into - temporal characters (spaces). BUT - as temporal characters - they lacked what we normally consider `solid space’ - which is rooted in a different `area’ of space.

Along the same lines - might other anomalies and paranormal entities fall into the same category. Temporary beings. Temporal characters that represent ideas. Such as the Bigfoot type entities that were reported on the Skinwalker ranch - or - for that matter - any type of Bigfoot or mothman or chupacabra. Could these entities be IDEAS? Could they be ideas that transform into temporal characters - like memes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

Could ghosts be the same thing? Could ghosts be the remaining `idea’ that one has of oneself after ones demise? Could UFO’s be an idea that is transforming into a temporal character? Is it the `temporal nature’ of these `things’ `ideas’ `entities’ that makes an objective `specimen’ impossible?

Could even evolution, consciousness, or intelligence manifest in the same manner? Is everything an idea that shows only its temporal character - is this a description of reality?

Nothing like - The Heavy Stuff.

Have you seen THS’s (The Heavy Stuff’s) UFO blog? —- http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com– or visit our blogroll for more great reads; including the front page of this website too where you can find the titles of the last 15 posts www.theheavystuff.com - thanks for reading, leave a comment.

As with many of the outrageous topics covered in The Heavy Stuff  (THS) - today’s post - `Real-Subjectivity in a Material-Objective World’ - will be the result of  an undetermined exercise of thought. And, as with most of the postings here, is the result of a link THS has on our daily anomalies website (see and visit our short blogroll on the right for great reads) on Squidoo.com.  And, that link - was called - `You Don’t Exist, So Don’t Worry About It’ — here is the link to the 10 minute read which I will summarize too if you don’t read the article. — http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/column.php?id=63575

The basic premise is this - and I will quote the article:

Science and math suggest that we humans don’t exist, (even though there is really no math or science — more illusions!)The advent of quantum mechanics and modern physics increasingly imply that our existence as human beings is a kind of persistent illusion (THS EMPHASIS). We are under the false assumption that we’re people, we only imagine we have bodies and brains, and minds functioning inside those brains

The article goes on to support its viewpoint of the non existence of reality with the standard, well, beyond standard, delve into the Planck(ness) of reality:

To make a long story short, Planck was forced to conclude that matter at its most fundamental level is not continuous, not solid. There are no tiny billiard balls. When you break down an atom, you get an electron, a proton and maybe a neutron. But it turns out these are not the smallest units either. You can break things down further to bosons, quarks, W particles, tachyons and a lot of other shadowy “things” that just sort of wink in and out of existence.Where do things go when they “wink out?” Nowhere! They cease to exist! Then they come back again.So what? you might ask. Well, as you know, the human body is made up from the fundamental elements of nature. We are mostly water, but we also have iron in our blood, calcium in our bones, and such. But each of those substances are made up of individual atoms, which in turn are made up of ghostly bits of nothing that just sort of come and go, in and out of reality.Scientists call this blinking process “quantum fluctuation.”So when the elements of your body fluctuate, so does your body, and so do you! So does you brain and the chemicals in your brain! In fact, you may be in a state of nothingness more often than you are in a state of somethingnessFinally, the real issue - Being and Nothingness. Which, as followers of the deepest esoteric thought know, is the title of one of Sartre’s heaviest books about phenomenology and values — literally the stuff that became Existentialism. Indeed, the writer doesn’t seem to understand that when the physics breaks-down at the literal crux of material presence in the world — IS where phenomenology knowledge prevails.Subjectivity and existence (of an observer) are literally side products of the evolution of the phenomenology of the material world. (YES, there is a phenomenology of the subjective world too.) Indeed, here’s how Sartre describes Being-in-itself:

“Non-conscious Being. It is the Being of the phenomena and overflows the knowledge we have of it. It is a plenitude, and strictly speaking we can say of it only that it is.”

Being and Nothingness, Time-Space and Awareness, Subjectivity and Objectivity, Memory and Fantasy – these are the subject matter of Phenomenology.

One might think that existence equals awareness of existence. But, being intellectually honest, a THING could exist without self-awareness. A space, would not NEED the existence of consciousness. Space would not need time. Indeed, in Planck(ness) level - space doesn’t (evidently) need even existence - to exist.

Space doesn’t need existence - to continue.

To be a `NEW’ space. Without Existence. (Of common reality.)

So, back to the Phillips Phenomenology - where `Space’ (any matter) is Not-Able-To-Be. Where the overriding characteristic of defining a `space’ is the attribute that IT DOESN’T EXIST. Or more appropriately, exists as a NOT ABLE TO BE. This is the characteristic that humans `see’ all around them; the very characteristic of our very physical bodies. Indeed, at the Planck level our bodies are NOT ABLE TO BE. That defines our space-beingness.

But, NOT our total beingness. As humans. As singular observers of other Not-able-to-be’s; such as the computer, our chair, or our spouse. NO, our total beingness has other chacteristics that are needed within a real phenomenology that explains human consciousness.

The one thing the author had right is that `subjectivity ISN”T found in the objective’ And, as the author says, the FACT IS that the `objective disappears from real(ity)’. For a duration of ones space - ones objectiveness vanishes.

The Phillips Phenomenology suggests that it vanishes into the `other’ part of the same space planck. That while this space vanishes - it becomes - (in the same space) - ABLE-TO-NOT-BE. It is being in this `suspended space-state’ that provides the bridge to the next `real existence of this space’. The able-to-not-be portion of space - being the subjective real counterpart - to the actual Not able to be.

Able-to-not-be

At this point, it might be easy to think of the able-to-not-be as Time, or perhaps where consciousness might BE. Afterall, something that wasn’t a space, was able to not be a space - would naturally be time. And, consciousness, the mind, wants to be viewed as this separate entity from the body - our space. So, again, at some level of understanding - these `things’ are able-to-not-be. BUT, what THS wants this post to be about is REAL SUBJECTIVITY - and - in two previous posts THS has touched upon this subject.

REAL SUBJECTIVITY

The two examples THS has provided of REAL Subjectivity are The Ghosts of Eastern Flight 401 http://theheavystuff.com/?p=17 and the mutual hypnosis experiments carried out by Dr. Tart.  http://theheavystuff.com/?p=32. To briefly review, the Ghosts of Flight 401 were the doppelgangers of  the pilots that appeared on flights that re-used materials from the crashed flight. And, in Dr. Tart’ research, the mutual hypnosis participants entered into a fully viable mutual reality with `things’ structure and (time for) intentionallies and `new revealed landscape’.

What THS is proposing is that Doppelgangers represent that ultimate expression of a spaces Able-to-not-be(ness) ——– the doppelgangers are real spaces - actualizing the able-to-not-be virtual reality. Those representations seen on the planes WERE the pilots and their best attempt to be `real’ within our common NOT able to be consensus. They represented real subjectivity (and indeed seemed not to fit totally in with others who observed them) - an incredible rip in the ontological structure for a few precious moments of experience.

Likewise, the `real reality’ that those shared while under hypnosis had all the characteristics needed to be understood as a real place — a place with real subjectivity and seeming objectivity. A progression from the able-to-not-be level of consciousness, via hypnosis, and jumping to an internal NOT able to be space. At that moment, lending objectivity to a subjective world - with real subjectivity of a conscious being like a human.

Now, doesn’t this `real-subjectivity’ realm sound familiar? Could this be where `duplicate’ bodies `go’ to be abducted - and why the experience is so real? Since it (the able to not be) is simply a counterpart of our same space (Not able to be) - things would `have existence’ there too.

Suddenly, looking at the world’s paranormal thru the prism of phenomenology, rather than trying to `understand’ it with physics - makes sense. `Existence’ is tied with more than one kind of space and so is `Real’ and `Consciousness’.

So, guess what — You do exist and there is reason to be concerned. The exact opposite of the title of the article that got this article written.

Thanks for reading. Leave a comment and tell a friend about THS.

Hello fellow seekers of esoteric knowledge, welcome back to The Heavy Stuff (THS) - the one website that you can count on for Heavy material - bookmark now please. Today’s subject, the recent fun research article in papers that had the media conclusion that humans `see into the future’ — here’s the direct link http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,361623,00.html - it is a quick but confusing read (and confusing for a good reason). Go ahead, give it a read and return.

In summary this is the main point from the research:

Researcher Mark Changizi of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York says it starts with a neural lag that most everyone experiences while awake. When light hits your retina, about one-tenth of a second goes by before the brain translates the signal into a visual perception of the world. Scientists already knew about the lag, yet they have debated over exactly how we compensate, with one school of thought proposing our motor systemsomehow modifies our movements to offset the delay. Changizi now says it’s our visual system that has evolved to compensate for neural delays, generating images of what will occur one-tenth of a second into the future (THS bold)

Perhaps the most positive thing THS can say about this interesting article (how many articles talk about illusions and perception) is that it brings out into the open the murkiness of the `realness’ of  human perception and what we `say’ we `see’ IN reality. Indeed, the research brings into focus `the delay’  - that is simply part of being a conscious being - in `digesting’ reality. Meaning, it simply `takes time’ for an image of light to bounce off another object (or light bouncing off all objects) to reach the retina and be `counted’ or registered.

We are not instantaneous creatures.

But, we live in an instantaneous universe. A phenomenological universe.

Therefore, to bring our slightly delayed image from the past — to bring THAT up to the PRESENT - the reseach suggests that our `mind’ `provides’  a visual estimate of the `future’. Generating images. Generating estimates based on the known spaces within our perceptions. Known spaces being all the other objects we view. The things of our space that seemingly don’t change except at a micro atom level beyond perceptions ability (of a human).

The research does a great job of explaining the difficulties of living in a body - a space -  who’s living perceptions show and are best represented by  a `projected image’ that is compensated by the `comprehension lag’. Who says that consciousness isn’t complicated?

However, THS humbly suggests that what it `shows’  is that a `conscious space’ exists in a continuum with stability. That `being’ `behind’ (in the past) the present - the `real’ Present - is not a barrier to existence. The NOW of reality being a much larger place-space than one pin-point instant. At least for humans.

BUT, is it, as the media likes to toy with - seeing the future? The research suggests that what we see is a projection of `real spaces’ and their movement towards us or away from our space-body. One problem, THAT isn’t real. It is projected. The projected image is only that - our consciousnesses best estimate of what we will see via the projection of the existing spaces.

However, that projected reality could change. If those spaces `moved’ in a different `path’ within that 1/10th of a second — then — the projected `image’ of 1/10th of a second in advance would not and does not match reality - the reality of real spaces.

BUT, it evidently, literally, doesn’t matter. Much.

Evidently, so few `things’ change direction within 1/10 of a second in our lives - that 1/10 of a second of a heads up is enough. Indeed, our matching of `our subjective’ - with the `real objective’ - is more pliable than many would admit.

And the reason is obvious; our `objective’ is ONLY our space - our body. OUR contact with the now. The `out-there’ world is going to be a representation. Our now, can only `see’ `the others space’ when it is already `removed’ from that `representation’ (we see it only AFTER light bounces off of it).

BUT, is ANY of this `seeing the future’. Certainly, NOT what the research has shown. Certainly, seeing a projected image of reality - isn’t the `real future’ right?

After all, in 1/10th of a second - the EARTH will be thousands of miles from its current position in the universe. The article certainly isn’t suggesting that we are getting projections of our reality from a planet surface, our planet surface, in a different position than it is in? Is it?

Is the article suggesting that what we see is the surface of earth - 1/10 of a second from now and where Earth actually is? NO>NO> a thousand times NO.

Human phenomenology, indeed the phenomenology of any conscious space, only resides in ones space. Ones space has phases that become timelike to our perceptions. All those timelike perceptions are spaces too. And all those spaces have phases too. As THS has written before when covering the Phillips Phenomenology, each space comes with a past, present, and future, - and then - the lived experience `goes on’ or `runs off’ to the next most similar space with the least differences of all spaces.

All this phenomenology brings about incredible stability to a conscious space like humans. Indeed the progression from a baby consciousness to a toddler consciousness may involve learning to see objects as stable.

So, that leaves THS looking for something in the media - involving research - that might indeed, somehow, be connected to `knowing the future’. Is there such a story? Indeed, there is, and it is called the Noosphere.

Here’s a link.

http://noosphere.princeton.edu/

Since this blog started with a three part series on the Noosphere, THS will save you all our reasons for thought that this experiment at Princeton may be literally the cutting edge of understanding `the future’ and what can be known about it. That said, here’s a link to those posts http://theheavystuff.com/?p=3.

Bottom line positioning of THS on the new research that we see 1/10th of a second into the future — NO.

Claiming my blog — http://www.blogcatalog.com/directory/philosophy

This blog is dedicated to taking positions on realities greatest mysteries and certainly one of the biggest mysteries of 2008 has been the reported Ufo incidents in the skies over Stephenville Texas. Regular readers of The Heavy Stuff (THS) know that just earlier this week I posted an overview of the event and media reactions to it. But, this post happens because an editor of one of the websites that occasionally carries  our postings wanted our personal speculation as to `what Stephenville really was about’ - and here is THS’s personal speculation - literally giving odds as to what the phenomena may have been.

And, to that end, - THS gives a 40% chance - that the event involved aliens. Yes, aliens. Yes, perhaps, the time has finally come.

Specifics about the aliens would depend on ones viewpoint of physics and human history; as the aliens may come from `outer space’ - `here on Earth’ - or - (slight chance) possibily even`inner space - the dimensional-consciousness aspect’. Additionally, the `aliens’ may be biological or artificial intelligence entities - and finally, the `aliens’ may be nothing more than `vehicles’ that are exploring the universe (so to speak). All of these possibilities add up to the 40% figure.

Reasons for assigning this possibility as the most likely at 40% include the observations of the craft by human ground observers. Specifically, what the ship was observed to do and be — with its non earthly size and the craft’s ability to hover, morph, and to almost `disappear’ with a speed not of vehicles associated with humans.

But - 40% is hardly 100% - and, indeed, the concept that what was seen in TX as being aliens - is not even a majority in THS’s opinion. So, if it wasn’t aliens - what was it?

To that end, THS assigns a 30% chance that the event had to do with what could best be called `fortean’ realities of high strangeness. For example, could this have been a `shared reality of perceptions of a missing time event’? Could this have been some sort of space projection of humanities desires/consciousness? Could humans INDEED be IN some sort of self-conscious computer-entity in which ANYTHING can occur or be projected?

And, what analysis of phenomena would support this 30% percentage? Would some phenomenologists point at the localized nature? Would some phenomenologists point at the fact of repeated observations by the the same humans? Could indeed objects that `morph’ be less than what we normally consider REAL? If objects suddenly `are there’ and almost as suddenly `are not there’ - might those objects be less than real consensus spaces? Virtual object - virtual spaces; perhaps? Spaces NOT of our NOW? Things that are less than real?

And, as compelling as both those scenarios make when combined - a large percentage of chance still remains that is not covered by the other speculations into the unknown. In fact, THS speculates that at least a 20% chance exists that what was seen was not only human made, but paid for by your and THS’s tax-dollars.

This category of speculation requires only a back engineered alien technology OR the result of pilfering trillions from the `budget’ `to keep us safe’. And, under this scenario, what was seen was probably a `mistake’. One can only speculate that an invisibility shield was `down’ or similar malfunction. So, while only a 1 in 5 chance - the fact is - IT might have been US.

Then, finally, THS assigns a 10% chance to a similar outcome to the Stephenville incidents as the previous one. Humans. Wealthy humans. Wealthy humans NOT connected to ONE specific gov’t. A world power elite.

Except in this scenario the Stephenville `Displays’ were NOT an accident - but were ON PURPOSE. For a reason. Probably to force the gov’ts hand about UFO’s or the Ufo technology. Or, to force its hand for blackmail. Money. Or Power. The scenarios are not pleasant.

And, who are we to say that the weaponization of space hasn’t produced some `machine’ in the sky that can project a virtual space into our skies - for us all to wonder about.

Or - to be controlled by.

Lately, I’ve offered two posts about the relationship between `dead spaces’ (dead human spirits) and the real `reality’ of `time-space’? Specifically, I offered my speculation that the `light’ seen by so many at the time of NDE is our SUN - yes, the star 93 million miles away. I speculated that `life after death’ may be short-lived — for most beings/souls — and that nearly all human consciousnesses end up in the sun. But, that stated, `life’ would indeed extend beyond the body and beyond the normal scope of what we consider the time-space of ‘real’ (at least our ability to interact with it). Additionally, I expressed the view that some `dead spaces’ or `ghosts’ don’t go to the sun but do remain `alive’ on Earth for a limited time-frame. Their `dead space’ going on — which equals - life after death; for at least a few and especially right after death.

My next post related to The Ghosts of Flight 401 — see below for that post in its entirety, but, in a nutshell — it appears that `some’ `dead spaces’ can project their appearance into the `real’ reality structure. Evidently. Again, in summary, the dead pilots from the crashed jet were spotted on jets which had their re-cycled parts used from the salvage of the crashed jet. These `dead’ pilots claimed outloud to have an `intention’ to keep the L-1011’s safe from then onward. The events with the pilots happened multiple times -and multiple times - their `appearance space’ vanished in an `instant of time’ (an instant of space perhaps) before multiple witnesses - both witnesses that knew them while alive and those that never knew them.

These `appearances’ would suggest that `intentionality’ can even project into space-time, perhaps for years or even for an indefinite time-frame (until a task is completed)——– and, that one (ghosts) still had intentionality `while dead’ — at least if one (while dead) is hanging around the space of the Earth. And, doesn’t get swept up in the marvels of the universe from a `free space’ condition.

But, that brings us to Houdini - and the legend of his `escape’ from death - back to the `living’. I have the link on my squidoo site directly — and it’s under the Great Anomaly Stories Section (easy to find) - at www.squidoo.com/anomalyman  or you can copy and paste the link directly — but — come right back.   Here’s that other site — same story — survivalafterdeath.org/articles/ford/houdini.htm remember to put in the www - (I prefer you become familiar with my site anomalyman)

Now that you are familiar with the story-legend — let me provide the important summary points as I see them. #1 — `Time’ existed (exists) on `the other side’; twice the period it takes to get the `message thru’ is noted, each time several months. Additionally, the `dead spaces’ (Houdini and his mother) seem to indicate that a few months seems like a long time-frame of effort - then again, that could be my just my read of the words.

Nevertheless, the `dead spaces’ (Ghosts) had `time’ within which they existed (interestingly, nothing else about their other existence is noted except for the intent of getting this message thru as `proof of survival’. (Could we survive as nothing but intentionality’s?)

Now, many folks would go the extra mile to make up proof of survival — but for Houdini - he was the opposite, a total debunker of the afterlife. If this story is to be accepted as `truth-proof’ at least it isn’t from a lifelong proponent of `heaven’. (I will note that no images of heaven seem to be in Houdini’s explanations of the other side either — just a determination and intentionality of spirit.) Once again, this feeling of sameness exists with  the Ghosts of Flight 401 intentionality’s surviving for a mission and Houdini’s intentionality’s surviving for a mission. Are future intentionality’s the  link?

Seemingly, the phenomenology of space-time `bends’ to provide projection of information (intentions) or, rarely, even `appearances’ from `beyond’ within the `real’ consensus of the moment-to-moment reality. Whether caught on tape (see my squidoo.com March 16th ghost videos) or by the real human naked eye.

It’s also easy to draw this comparison to even `second comings’ — be them a few days after death — or much later based on actualizing some long promised intentionality (especially helps if one believes? or society believes?) I’ll leave the rest of that speculation for some other time.

There is only one other possible speculation, for me, that provides a real chance that Houdini wasn’t involved (nor his mother) in `getting his double coded message thru’ — and that would be that Arthur Ford — (as Fletcher) was indeed a mind-reader and got the info from Mrs Houdini’s mind. And, while I’m not saying that is the answer — I’d have to give it at least a real 20% chance if I were to bet on the outcome of that - or 80% - to the chance that Houdini proved to be the `Ultimate Escape Artist Ever - Even Escaping Death’.

In my most recent post, I explained my theory of what might happen when we die — simply put — the `light’ so many describe at the NDE (near death experience) is nothing more than the Sun itself. These near death experiencers have this experience when their `body space’ `separates’ from their Earth body and `the body space’ still has the capacity for perception - commonly called an out-of-the-body experience. Further, in my post, I describe that this one act never done while living (looking directly at the Sun) is a powerful emotional experience that probably ends `most human life experience’. To me, it’s also beautiful — we (our souls, our body space) return to the Earth’s actual life source — the Sun.

BUT, (and it’s a big but) - what about Ghosts (?) - where do `they’ `fit in’? Specifically, if ghosts exist, — how do they `get to the `real’ `present’ — from their DEAD `past’? Do they `come from some remote time’? Do they have an ontological basis?

Recently on my lens www.squidoo.com/anomalymanI had a link to a `Story’ about `visitors’ from the `past’ being thrust into our present. Since we can assumed that these old time visitors were dead — it would seem to fit the case I am beginning to make. Anyway that link (found on anomalyman) is directly http://www.ufoarea.com/physics_cosmology_travelers.html . That said, I now believe just a few days later, that the story is a hoax in a way - perhaps the beginning of an urban legend. Something didn’t ring true to me and various google searches of key words about the story yield nothing except the `story itself’. It’s scary that legends can be started so easily. (Briefly, if you didn’t read this account — it states that twice in 1936 portals opened and folks from the past were seen in the streets `alive’ — then `vanished in front of the eyes’.) Anyway, I was surprised that I’d never heard that tale in my readings on Time — and when - as I said - the Google search turned up NOTHING - I felt duped to a degree. (Specifically, nothing unique other than the post comes up for terms like the authors name, city, vanished, and the `ghosts name’ - nor — Fresno, time-travel, legends.)

It makes one wonder `why’ one would `start an urban legend’ when their is REAL accounts of `Ghosts’ appearing - and vanishing - in a flash. The best known ghost `story’ and most verifiable in my opinion is none other than the Ghosts of Pilot Bob Loft and Flight Engineer Don Repo from the crashed Eastern Airlines Flight 401. If you have never heard of this story before, a few quick facts about the `case’.

First, the crash on Dec. 29th, 1972 was the FIRST EVER of a L-1011, deemed in those days the next generation of widebody aircraft. It crashed into a Florida swamp and 76 of the 176 aboard survived. Parts of the plane were actually in such good shape that they were re-used later in other L-1011’s. And, THAT is - where and when - the `real story’ of `time traveling ghosts’ begins. I will explain in a moment — but a simple google of the book written about the `ghosts’ called `The Ghosts of Flight 401′ will give you incredible information.

Again, in a nutshell, after the planes parts were recycled — Mr. Loft and Mr. Repo began to appear on flights with the recycled parts. Indeed, over 20 times they were seen on Eastern Flights. These `sightings’ included those that knew them personally and strangers. And, they even talked and acted - and vanished in a puff/instant. One flight was even cancelled. At least once, one of them appeared in a seat of a plane at 35,000 ft and flying. Reports are that they vowed to keep the L-1011’s safe. IS that `spooky’ enough for you? Is that proof of surviving death, at least for some `time’? Is it proof, of the ability of the past to come into our present? And, is this `time travel’ really?

My first analysis will point out what this is NOT. This is NOT `time travelers’ from the future — one of the staples of science fiction. And, for good reason — none of the future has EVER existed. None of it. BUT, as you know, part of the past has existed and was real. And, that folks, is a major difference - real past things - might have future time. Whereas, things that have never  existed (the future) `have no real’ - or - in my opinion - `contact’ with it (the real now).

Whew, now that that is out of the way, where does that leave the ghosts of Mr. Loft and Mr. Repo? Did they `time travel’ — I’d say maybe - for sure. LOL. I mean is it `time travel’ if ones space has never left the `real now’? And, is it proof that if one dies in unique circumstances - ones `dead space’ may continue on Earth for a time-frame which is in the now - so to speak. These `dedicated ghosts’ on a `mission’ seem to be able to continue forward their own identity for at least some `time’. It’s also obvious from the sightings of these two men that `dead body space’ can vanish. At least vanish in `our real actualize time’.

Ontologically, the chance that the past can jump into the future must be admitted - and the case of Flight 401 might be a case of it. But, the other way of looking at it is that the `space’ of Mr. Loft and Mr. Repo never left the now and don’t represent the past coming into the future. What do you think, I’d like to know - leave a comment. Thanks for reading.
