A few weeks ago, I discovered a lost trove of lecture tapes,
interviews, videos and other audio-visual documents,
including some of the most unusual UFO videos ever made, and
this week I begin the process of archiving them online.
The first thing I uploaded is a lecture I gave in 1988 at
the World Affairs Conference at the University of Colorado
in Boulder, to an audience of about a thousand people. I was
introduced by Walter Orr Roberts, who had initially been
invited to chair what became the Condon Committee that
produced Project Blue Book.
A number of Condon Committee members attended the lecture.
Oddly, I have only the vaguest memory of delivering it, but,
listening to it, I found myself reflecting on all that has
happened to me, and the incredible changes that have been
wrought in my being because of the years I spent with the
grays and the various other beings that showed up in my life
between 1986 and 2001.
I say 2001 because, since then, there have been only a few
small--if, in one or two cases, spectacular--incidents since
then. However, much, much more has happened to me since the
visitors left me than ever did while they were with me.
I see now that I was in a sort of school, on a learning
program. It began, as far as I know, in the fall of 1985,
when they returned to me after being absence since my early
teens.
I did not remember them, and the shock of their appearance
in my life was completely overwhelming. I do know, though,
why they returned, and, like everything they do, it was not
for one specific reason, but for a variety of reasons, all
having to do with what appears to be a life plan, or
energetic current in my life, that has led me to become what
I am now, and am still becoming.
It has involved a series of tremendous shocks, the first of
which was the catastrophe that befell me as a little boy
when I ended up in an abusive situation of some kind,
apparently involving certain experiments conducted on
children at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio.
My memories of this are vague, but whatever was going on, it
led to the stress-induced collapse of my immune system in
the summer of my seventh year. It seemed, also, to have
somehow cracked the cosmic egg for me, and when I was nine,
a series of encounters started that would continue until
puberty.
I have little direct memory of them--just the few snatches
that I reported in the Secret School. More telling is the
fact that one of the neighborhood boys, Michael Ryan,
remembered me telling about the soldiers I had seen with
aliens on a trip to Wisconsin taken in the summer of 1957,
an experience I spontaneously recalled under hypnosis in
1986. In addition, a prominent San Antonio lawyer, who has
not made his name public, has vivid memories of UFOs flying
over our neighborhood in broad daylight.
So I think now that something was certainly going on then,
and that it was meant to prepare me for what would take
place in 1985.
Another part of the preparation was my involvement in the
Gurdjieff Foundation, where I learned about two fundamental
and universal laws, the Law of Three that is the key to
harmony, and the law that Buckminster Fuller called "the
building block of the universe" and the Law of Seven that is
the law of progression across gaps via the use of shocks.
The first shock in my life took place in my childhood, the
second in 1985, when the visitors showed up and manhandled
me to the point that I awoke to them.
They have, throughout my life, displayed a great mastery of
being. Whoever they are, they have nothing to do with the
dark side that I and others have written about and faced.
They were, and are, a powerful life-affirming force and well
aware of their mastery and their right to assume a teaching
role in my life.
Another great event for me has been, as it has turned out,
the placement of the implant in my left ear. The video of
the attempt to remove this is already archived in the
subscriber section of Unknowncountry, so you can watch it if
you wish.
Looking back, I consider the doctor's failure to remove the
little white disk that moved off into the tissue of my ear
when he touched it with his scalpel as one of the luckiest
breaks I ever had.
I have learned how to use this implant--at least, begun
to--and I see it now as a tremendous and powerful gift, a
technological device that has freed me from the bondage and
illusion of space-time and enabled me to travel in realms
undreamed.
It is not a mind control device, nor does it read my mind. I
know this because I have learned to turn it on and off
myself, and to begin to use it as what it is: a tool.
But before I get into exactly what I have learned to do with
it, I would like to return to 1988 and that lecture. It is a
careful and impassioned appeal to an audience of scientists
to embrace the mystery of close encounter. In the lecture, I
say that I do not know what is happening, but that the
mystery is real.
I am not nearly as ignorant now as I was then, but science
certainly is. My appeal fell on deaf ears and dead minds.
The scientific community, which certainly has tools that
would enable it to address both the UFO and close encounter
phenomena in a useful manner, remains resolutely opposed to
doing so.
As such, this is the ONLY mystery in the natural world that
science will not address. This arises out of a culture of
denial that starts with the United States Air Force
and--ironically--is centered in Dr. Condon's preface to the
Project Blue Book report, not to the report itself, which
clearly identified a number of cases which did appear to
involve intelligently guided craft of unknown and probably
nonhuman origin.
But Dr. Condon's lying preface denies this, and that denial
has been used ever since by the Air Force, the US
Government, the media and science as justification for
ignoring these phenomena.
It's too bad. One of the grays told Col. Phil Corso that
there was on offer for us, "a new world, if you can take
it." Apparently, they can't take it. Can't bear it. Are
afraid, individually, to defy their various cultures and go
for it anyway.
But I am not afraid. I can take it. Have taken it. I have
stolen this fire that was put in my head, and will spend the
rest of my life learning to use it and using it.
Here are some of the things I have learned to use it for:
1. Observe other worlds. I can lie down, collect my
thoughts, gather my attention as I have taught in the
meditation series in our subscriber section, and see rich,
almost television-like images of life on other planets.
Usually, I cannot see the beings, only their artifacts.
Sometimes I can see them as well, but that's hard because it
involves much more than just looking. There is a level of
interaction that I am just now learning. The problem is that
the contact is so personal and so startling that it backs me
out of the whole process. But I'm getting past that.
What I have learned from this is, among other things, that
the universe is radio silent because this method of
communication is extensively used. Understand, I am not
talking about something vague, like a hallucination or
dream. These images are powerful, spontaneous and as complex
as images of daily life here, but often so unusually
constructed that they amount to a flood of original detail.
It's also possible to return to different places, as I have
done, in some cases, many times. There is a world, for
example, that I have come to know well, which I describe in
detail in the book that I'm bringing out a year from August,
the Grays: it is agrarian and formed along lines that really
appeal to me. Simple physical life, few possessions, rich,
complex interaction between people.
I say people advisedly: while I cannot often manage
real-time interaction, seeing forms is fairly easy, and I
have seen many. Quite a few are organized around the two
arms, two legs model, but not all. Some look quite like us,
and that has led me to wonder if our form has not been
seeded, or if there is not some sort of genetic manipulation
involved that causes this. Or it could be that planets that
evolve along similar lines also evolve life forms that are
similar, I don't know.
The implant also enables me to travel almost anywhere in
space and time, or even outside of space time. It acts as a
sort of accelerator of being, intensifying my ability to
move out of my body and into many remarkable realms. It also
causes me, at times, to hear the inner workings of the minds
of other people, something that is so extremely different
from what one might imagine that it is really hard to
describe in words. It's not a common experience and has not
entered language, which is why I can only talk about it
indirectly.
However, there can be a spontaneous, extraordinarily deep
movement between minds that exposes their truth and their
sense in a way that we cannot speak of directly. Suffice to
say that fingerprints and faces are different, but minds are
REALLY different. Every one of us is a God peering into the
physical world in a completely unique way.
Also, it enables truly extraordinary out of body journeys,
some involving complete separation and even entry, in places
where the right equipment is available, into physical nodes
that enable one to literally walk the streets of other
worlds. I know that this sounds completely incredible, but
it is quite true. There are many places where this
technology is old hat--in fact, commonplace. However, there
are also complex rules involved, that have enabled me to see
why those who come here either using physical bodies of
their own creation or human forms, such as those of people
who are capable of sharing their bodies--and yes, that is
commonplace, too--are so careful about not disturbing the
local culture.
This gets to a very large thought, and one that is
contemplated around this whole universe, and deeply: what is
the condition, meaning and future of intelligent life? How
is intelligence faring in the universe, and what meaning
might it have?
The problem is that intelligent species are a risky
proposition. They are incredibly rare. Mostly, the universe
is a grand wasteland. All of us are either the outcome of
chance or manipulation, and usually parts of both. And
everybody wonders why the process of evolution leads to us?
Intelligent species go extinct all the time, and one of the
great questions that seeks an answer is, are we dying faster
than we are being born? The grays think so, and this is
their motivation for doing genetic manipulation, increasing
the developmental speed of species with the potential to evolve.
But why is intelligent life even wanted? The reason, oddly
enough, was correctly described by two physicists back in
1977, in the journal Science. D.B.H. Kuyper and M. Morris
speculated that the motive of intelligent species, if they
came here, would be to observe novel events, ideas and
lives, and that, therefore, they would keep their own
presence secret.
This is exactly true. The species that are not conscious of
the larger world are, in some cases, too primitive to
understand, and are used as sources of a sort of relief by
those who do understand. For those who have surmounted
space-time, the vast universe is actually quite
claustrophobic. But joining to the emotional content of a
species like ours, who cannot see the borders of reality, is
a huge relief. An illusion, of course, but so welcome that
it is almost a kind of drug.
It is why we are kept in isolation--imprisoned, as it were.
To see the world as we see it is to be, at least for a
little while, freed from the devastating knowledge of the
borders of space-time. It also enables surprise which, when
lost, is exactly like losing the most acute sense you can
possibly imagine. A sad state, and one that the grays
struggle with, as do many others.
Not all human beings are imprisoned. It is possible to gain
the right to come and go on this earth, and to do so
physically. Personally, I have been offered this twice, but
the price is too steep: I would have to step out of my life
on earth and become an observer here, no longer a direct
participant.
There are those who have done it. I have met some of them.
Two of them put the implant in my ear in the first place, to
enable me to join them if I wished.
However, this species is in trouble, and I don't intend to
opt out of the hard part. We are going to go through a
dieback on earth that could commence literally any time, and
for dozens of different reasons. It's not our fault. There
are simply too many of us.
I observed this happen on another world, back in 1993. They
were suffering from overpopulation and the attendant
environmental breakdowns, just as we are. Their culture had
declined in a way that is tragically familiar in this
universe: it had divided into two opposed totalitarian
states, one like Nazi Germany and the other like Soviet
Russia. There was no freedom on the planet, and when that
happens, a species will almost always destroy itself.
This was a place of yellow skies and ruined forests, of vast
factories and teeming masses of people confined, except for
a few, to public transport and life in blocks of flats
chronically short on everything. There was immense wealth,
hidden, of course, and seeming so peculiar to the observer,
who is always led to wonder why people what to keep objects
near their bodies--what "possessions" even are? Then, very
abruptly and for no known reason, there was a massive
nuclear exchange.
I was able to interact here somewhat, trying to be a spark
of freedom for a few of them who were engaged in a very
secret and forbidden activity, which their governments
regarded in the way the Soviets regarded religion, but which
did raise them enough to see those of us who took an
interest in the place.
Still, the planet did not recover from the nuclear exchange.
It is dead now and will remain dead for millions of years.
It's not alone: many, many intelligent species ruin their
planets. In fact, essentially everything happens. Some every
bit as bad as the one I have just described--some, even,
that have gone collectively mad--do get out into the
universe in all sorts of ways, and cause all sorts of trouble.
To the really old ones, they're not even unwelcome. Novelty
is too delicious to reject, even if it is negative.
So, looking back to the scared guy on that podium so long
ago, I see that I have come a very far distance. As I was
speaking there, I was thinking that the visitors were still
very much in my life, and how could I ever communicate that?
I still wonder. I wonder what effect this journal will have?
No doubt, I won't be believed, and that's all right,
because, in a sense, it leaves me free in ways that belief
would not.
I suppose that the visitors might one day dignify all of
this by showing up. Then, I wonder, what will I do? One ends
up so far from home, in a sense, that the grammar of home,
its logic and meaning, become like distant memories. How can
I ever synchronize myself to this world again, I wonder? I
work in it, live in it every day, but it's as if one foot
lives here, while the other walks in the stars.
