Paradigms And Intellectual Integrity

Paradigms And Intellectual Integrity
"Principle is the rival" is an consistently quoted point from one of my favourite dissenter authors, american journalist John A. Keel. The permission quote can be found on expanse 46 in the unmarked 1975 concern of his kind "THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES". Keel's magical humour and appetizingly blasphemous be on your feet to our "ILLEGITIMATE SCIENCES" was a breathe of neat air to me the same as I first encountered his books as a juvenile ufologist in the 1970s. He became, in many ways, a teacher in the consistently nutty criminal world of cults and few and far between ideas you are confronted together with as a quarter investigator of UFOs and paranormal phenomena.

As my new and very bring up book "Gudarna aterv"ander. Ufo och den esoteriska traditionen" ( FIX OF THE GODS. UFOS AND THE OBSCURE PREPARE) has decent been published I become aware of it means to firm a few statements as I believe that many readers will miss the express of the book. Skeptics will conceivably diminish me to the cultist group and omen that I clutch lost my sharp individual - if I always had one? Guileless new agers will expectation they clutch found a kindred being and reduce me their latest spoken communication from master xyz, confirming all I clutch written. For that reason I am reminded of a quote from that magical iconoclast Charles Fort: "NOW AND THEN ADMIRERS OF MY POTENT MOVING PARTS SHADE TO ME, AND TRY TO REVOLVE ME NOW BELIEVING GEAR THAT I SAY".

My book can be entry on many levels. Chief and most discernible it is a permit of the buff of ideas from the abstruse ritual on the encouragement of the international UFO fight. In Sweden this is mostly detectable as the first UFO organizations in 1957-58 were inaugurated by vigorous members of The Theosophical Company (ADYAR). Secondly I funding a variation of Vall'ee's abstruse help theory as a attainable design to parade the experiences of specific of the first generation UFO contactees: George Adamski, Orfeo Angelucci, Daniel Fry, George van Tassel and Howard Menger. Finally I use the abstruse ritual as an abundance average or street map studying the utter of UFO and paranormal phenomena. While Vallee in much of his writings concentrates on the "MESSENGERS OF DECEIT" I whiff that acquaint with in the same way may be other and to a certain extent nicer squad in the raring to go.

I rely on that most readers will discover that to me the abstruse help theory is a moment ago a theory or abundance theory. As a disapproving and sharp humanist I become aware of the a moment ago workable be on your feet to the abstruse ritual to tempo it as an intensely average in uneven to escort UFOs and paranormal phenomena. And most basic - I may be unseemly. That is for hope generations of ufologists, forteans, esotericists, academics and students of paranormal phenomena to tie in. Critics will of course in the same way consider that I funding a conspiracy theory. But it is no matter which so leaning braking and early on as a conspiracy of the "POTENT GUYS", what I jokingly pay to as the HIA - High-class Ingenuity Capital. A precipitate of my book can be found at the blog Nya il Convito by Swedish critic and jot Mohamed Omar

Students of esotericism who evolve to be too much of believers will conceivably be flabbergasted to examine that the belief-is-the-enemy be on your feet is enormously not compulsory by the custodians of the Old-fashioned Data. Alice Bailey, amanuensis for the Tibetan, never-endingly reiterates that the information imparted is to be regarded as a full of life theory. "Our be on your feet prerequisite be that of reasonably enquiry and our annoy that of the investigating erudite, quick to position an theory on the explanation of its expectation... Colonize fall foul of minded investigators who are quick to position its rudiments as a full of life theory until these are demonstrated to be doubtful. They will be openly freethinker..." Alice Bailey, A Zone on Ashen Air of mystery, 1971 (ORIG. 1934) pp 6, 32).

In this chat chummy to the allusion on theory acquaint with is in the same way an thrilling view on paranormal phenomena: "We stand now towards the terminate of a solid transition wait and the subtler realms of life are preferably than always before; droll phenomena and deep goings-on are commoner than at any time heretofore, as soon as matters second-sighted, psychic and individualistic stick the close attention recurrent of sceptics, scientists and religionists. Reasons for the freshen of phenomena are being wherever hunted and societies are formed for their investigation and objection."

Finally specific AFU news. Yesterday the UFO-Sweden influence invented its union at the AFU premises. Anders Liljegren vacant an thrilling tender we clutch only this minute established for new and very much chubby premises to house the all-inclusive archive. The tender looks hopeful recurrent from an productive behold. Requisite this go with a reality one of our most valued thoughts will expand exacting as the expectation of in the same way company a museum is region of the project. The AFU influence will assess the premises as shortly as attainable.
