The Fortean Nature of Beckoning The Unknown - Expectations and Intentionality’s

In the last couple of days I’ve been surfing the net, as usual, to find material for my daily AnomalyMan listing on Squidoo. One place I always check out is www.anomalist.com as it’s overall point of view closely matches mine when describing `anomalous’ links of dubious natures. And, it’s two of those links that I have today on my Squidoo webpage (March 27th date) that set off my brain concerning the phenomenology of the ontological structure.

One of the links (all links will be at the bottom of this post) had to do with a MUFON investigator and his recording of a very anomalous `light in the sky at night’ experience that he interprets as Ufo Orbs and their Mothership - and indeed, the link will have pictures that will convince you too that the image explanation could be justified. What’s shown is one brighter light with an apparent connection to another series of `lights’ (different light filters show a golden shaped `interior’ craft).

The other link goes to the story of a serious  gentleman who actively is seeking some answers to the Bigfoot In America saga. And again, this time too, a seeker of the unknown was rewarded with the very thing desired - this time in the form of a 7 foot terrifying `monster’ with a voice which had a bellow beyond belief - and told in a manner that leaves little doubt as to its temporal occurrence to the observer.

So, when I read each of these stories, nearly in order, it set off my brain. Immediately, thoughts like - could `everything’ that is a space — like a human, comb, grass, robin, world, star, atom, — everything — which has a space and has a mass - and that exists IN an ontological structure — everything LIKE that — has one unifing characteristic - it is knowable. VERY KNOWABLE. (Can be measured.)

Then, my mind continued to turn over. Could `everything’ that is UNKNOWN have a space too? A `space’ which can be `called’ to be what it needs to be? To be what it HAS TO BE? (Whatisnotabletontobeis) And, could such `spaces’ only happen (or nearly only happen) when expectations and intentionality’s are raised and/or focused? When the `expectations’ of the `observer’ could trigger the intentionality’s of the `unknown space’?

Hence, MUFON investigators will see Ufo’s. Hence, Bigfoot investigators will see Bigfoots. Hence, Ghost investigators will find Ghosts. And EVP investigators — well, I think you get the idea by now. It seems that the will of the intentionality’s is all that is needed for a Fortean event of an Unknown nature to occur. (Could it be that the `intentionality’s’ come from the unknown when a `possession’ occurs of a human? Does the Unknown have some specific `spooky’ nature to it? A nature different than the Known - which might be `positive’ in some overall balance?)

And, if spirits can be beckoned in this manner (from the unknown) and Ufo’s too can be `beckoned’ — might the `nature’ of these two experiences really be able to be grouped together? Does this justify all the `nutcases’ that claim its the devil who is the ufo’s? (And, of course, this does not rule out nut and bolt ufo’s from existing along with all of us human beings - on our side of reality - in the known - because they have space.) Could this be why Prophet Yahweh could call a `light’ into the sky?

And, really, aren’t scientific discoveries actually similar? A seeker of the unknown - `finds’ the information - that one was seeking as a scientist. Would the `Ufo’s’ and `Bigfoot’s’ BE - information? Information in the rawest form?

A Information or intelligence `representation’  which has expectations and intentionalities? And, could the transfer of those expectations bring a `space’ together with that information base - which might even be able to occur,  and `act’ for a `real temporal’ event. Being infused with `knowledge’ for a moment(s). Being the very display of the unknown.

Aliens/Entities Objectified - Are There Four Types?

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.

The `Shadow Beings’ Interview

Regular readers of THS know that just recently we had a blogpost about a woman and her husband who saw `shadow beings’. They first saw them while riding in a truck on a very long trip but also had subsequent observations of these beings. That was enough to interest THS in the phenomenology of the experience to contact directly the woman who wrote the initial post. This is the original THS link — http://theheavystuff.com/?p=41

 THIS IS THS’S E-MAIL EXCHANGE WITH LUCY.

Hi Lucy,

First, thanks for getting back with me.

Next, I’ve lost the link to your personal website/blog - if you could send it I’d appreciate it. I really liked that you have the Hocking Hills connection I know so well. I spent many a day in that park area. Conkels Hollow my favorite. Spent 7 years in that area and still visit it.

Conkle’s Hollow is great! So is Old Man’s Cave (though I love to go up by Rose Lake myself.)

Thanks for agreeing to answer some questions too. I may put your responses on my web blog at www.theheavystuff.com . My questions may sound odd too, like your story - just answer the best you can I guess.

1. When you saw a `particular entity’ going alongside your truck at a similar speed — for how long did an entity remain perceivable — I mean, did you see the same entity for hours, minutes, or seconds. What is the longest any has remained perceivable?

They remained visible for as long as they were within viewing range. [see below] I saw some of them for minutes at a time, though normally it was more like 20 to 40 seconds at a time.

2. Did you see more than one entity at a time ever?

Yes. Quite often, actually. Up to 3 or 4 at a time (though that was the exception, more often they were sighted singly.)

3. When the entities `appeared’ within perception — did they `pop’ into being — `emerge’ into being - or, did you just see them as an on-going thing.

I just started seeing them at one point and kept seeing them as an ongoing thing. That is, until the next day when my vision, presumably, was normal again. They never popped in (or out.) They mostly just came from a distance or from a visual obstacle– like over a hill– and then disappeared the same way like any normal physical object or living being would. (Although some did seem to sort of fade in and out a bit.)

4. Have you seen them in different clothing?

No– never! That’s one thing that perplexes me. They always seem to be swathed in an over-sized (slightly too bulky) amorphous cloak with cowl.

5.Did you ever see a face?

Nope.

6. Did you ever see ANY of their surroundings that wasn’t Earth/here?

No. Just them– although they could go right THROUGH physical objects that were HERE as though they weren’t. They passed through things like ghosts would.

7. What color was the cloak?

Just featureless matte black. No reflection or shine to it at all, though a few folds could be discerned in what I assume was a cloth-like garment? It was VERY difficult to make out any details.

8. Did the entities ever make a sound you heard?

No. They were (are) utterly silent as far as I could tell.

9. When the entities `were no longer visible’ — do they pop out of sight — fade from sight — or simply go around the corner out of vision?

They simply got to a point where I couldn’t see them most of the time, going around a bend, over a hill, too far away, etc. However, SOME did seem to fade in and/or out. The entire scenario was immensely confusing.

10. Ever see one in Hocking Hills?

Yeah, maybe a couple of times a year– MAYBE. Not often at all.

11. Did the one your hand go thru try to evade you?

No. Actually, I think it “saw” me come towards it while looking at it, because it slowed down considerably and then stopped. (Because it seemed to react before I even touched it, I assume it could perceive me somehow.)  It stayed put while I put my hands through it, and even after I pulled my hands out (with my husband watching, thinking I was nuts to dare to do something so scary) it waited for a couple more minutes. I got the distinct impression that it was surprised (??) that anyone could see it, let alone have the temerity to chase it down and try to interact with it. Then it went on it’s way.I should probably mention that I never again saw these shadow guys as clearly as I did that first night. When I did see them again, once or twice a year or so, they were very transparent and misty, not as “thick” and dark as that first time. I don’t know if I would even have paid as much attention to what I saw later if they didn’t so closely resemble those original beings from that first night.

Luci

Thanks,

I may have more.

Rick Phillips

THS analysis/comments - Perhaps the first comment is about the `shared perceptions’ that both Lucy and her husband shared — very similar to the shared perceptions that THS has spoke of before concerning `mutual hypnosis sessions’ by Dr. Tart. It certainly seems that mutual perceptions of `non-local’ places or beings is possible - with or without hypnosis.

It’s also of interest, to THS, that the `other reality’ (if it exists) was not visible - only the beings themselves. That would suggest to THS that the beings were indeed IN our reality — not some other reality with objects and things - literally at some vibration not normally perceived in common everyday consensus. It seems that the very very long trip provided Lucy and her husband a chance to slide together into a mutual consciousness or ability.

THS also views as perhaps significant that the entities didn’t POP into or out of existence to perception. If they did, it would suggest them NOT really being in this reality - but - as being perceived in theirs. So, since they were perceived to occur normally in that regard, it is further evidence that Lucy and her husband were observing something in OUR common consensus reality that we all experience.

THS also finds it very interesting that multiple entities were often seen - interesting that these beings are numerous and perhaps have contact themselves in that local reality they share. It is also of interest that Lucy and her husband retained this ability to perceive the reality. It reminds THS of Carlos Castaneda learning `how to see’ with Don Juan. Learning or knowing the `description’ of the other reality with another person - in this case - each other. The fact that this ability to perceive this localized description of reality has continued for each of them is very notable.

Finally, several other factors of interest. When Lucy `stuck her hand into the being’ she said in the original story the `coldness’ she felt — many folks have reported this `cold’ with `entities’ or supposed Ghosts. And, the `absolute silence’ of these non-ordinary reality experiences can’t be ignored either. (Just think of how many folks describe the crafts seen in the sky:IE: ufo’s — as being totally silent.)

Lastly, to THS, the cloak garments of the entities are the ultimate high strangeness of the event - almost like something to symbolically represent the whole experience. Indeed, the reality structure seems beyond belief  in it’s phenomenology.

Thanks for reading. Leave a comment and remember to visit the blogroll for more great esoteric reads.
