I am still reading his “Supernatural.” Excellent stuff.

No, it’s not a hypothesis in the classic sense, but the ETH has amounted to nothing so far except to flatter our prejudices. Perhaps we should air out other theories with just as much (or as little) “proof” to back them up.

The post was meant as philsophical musings and extrapolation based on things I have read, heard from witnesses, and experienced myself.

Actally, by your reasoning of “fixed” purpose, the people who say that the “aliens are evil” have a point, since the UFO phenomenon (at least as it interacts with us on a personal level) seems to change with fashion and the personality of the percipient.

Don’t feed the evil bastards by maintaining a fixed belief system!

So you are driving at the idea that maybe whatever these events are they view established belief as their mooring line so to speak. They don’t rely on a forced view from their end, rather they are opportunistic/parasitic in nature?

If that is the crux of your hypothesis then the current “they” are very much the antiquated “they” of legends? As our interpretations change “they” change to suit us so they may retain that hidden objective? Angels (read: Good) are depicted as beings that state a “fixed” reality and purpose, whereas the “they” of UFOs, (or those listed below read: Evil) react to a desire of its target. Usually someone who has a weakness in their life.

The jinn, succubus, demonic possessions, Shadow People, Lilith, and the devil as a snake in Eden all come to mind when I take your view of A caters to B rather then my “theory” of B creates A. (“A” being “them” and “B” being us.) And, to boot, a more contemporary reference would be the “anticipatory/trickster element” studied at the Skinwalker Ranch….Yeah, that gives a person the hee-bee-gee-bees. Are we feeding them in some way to meet their ends?

I don’t know if the “sending-receiving” model is one I apply, but your comments are well-taken. I think more of an amorphus “something” that is molded by our interactions with it, on a species basis as well (and perhaps more importantly) as individuals.

I may not have been clear: I meant that we may be complicit in “creating” this “Other” when it appears before us. None of us have control over when that will happen.

What those who do encounter them have in common is that they all have human minds.

I haven’t read DeKorne for awhile, but the page you linked is highly interesting and helpful. The “entities” contacted through psychedelics seem to have the same problems as “aliens” from other galaxies: They seem alternately helpful and sagelike, but also arrgoant and selfish. It looks like our meddling in this realm is frought with problems for those not prepared for it, or with weak to normal constitutions and intelligence.

The interaction between the “others” and us appear to ride a razor’s edge of usefulness, and as McKenna said in the quoted passage, “It is no great accomplishment to hear a voice in the head. The accomplishment is to make sure that it is telling you the truth.”

As someone else said: “Food for thought and grounds for further research.”
