Michael Prescott's Blog

Good post Michael,
it seems like “Super Psi” or the “Collective Unconscious” is the subliminal culprit in all these schemes. It seems to be the simplest solution. Not at all sure I agree.

I much prefer the idea of an all encompassing underlying being of consciousness to a “collective unconscious” or the sort of masculine gods of yore that were magnified projections of human attributes.
This may be called “All,” The One,” All That Is, etc.
This is not some Santa Clause-like being that knows (or cares) when you’ve been good or bad, or a being that punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous. It does not cast thunderbolts, smites no one, does none of that.
“All That Is” suggests there is nothing and no one that is not part of it, not connected to it.
That includes us, but how, specifically, are we connected to All That Is?
This connection could not be physical in nature, like a cellular backhaul network that could be monitored by physical devices — so no one could prove either the existence of a personal connection to All That Is or the existence of All That Is, period, at least not by any physical means.
Knowing is of course different from “proving,” but in this case necessarily subjective*.
I would suggest that the connection is associated both with “greater regions of self” (my term) and the energy centers known as “chakras,” specifically the so called “crown chakra” found at the top of our heads.
Chakras and greater regions of self — with All That Is being the greatest region of self, our usual conscious personalities or “outer egos” being at the other end — can be directly experienced but doing this typically requires some persistence in terms of methods or techniques and some kind of effective knowledge regarding all of this.
Unfortunately, there are no end of traditions, teachers, alleged masters, gurus, and so on when it comes to seeking and finding effective knowledge.
There is no universal agreement about any of this — we are left to our own seeking, our own explorations, yet I believe we all have the relevant knowledge — it exists; we merely must access and utilize it.
I have my own techniques but I don’t claim to be a master, that what I believe is superior to what anyone else might believe, but I do periodically sit in meditation with a variety of folks holding a variety of beliefs and share both my Seth-inspired “map” of how we are connected to All That Is and the techniques I use to access that connection, which boil down to focusing on and/or feeling that connection in a mind quieted condition.
Doing this has gradually changed me in a number of ways and I continue to pursue this.
Years ago I was intrigued with a prediction made in _Seth Speaks_ regarding certain methods that would spread around the planet by 2075, methods that would enable the attainment of “intimate contact” with one’s “soul or entity.” (One effect would be the destruction of Christian church organizations.)
Seth also laid out a basic description of regions of self that goes from “outer personality” through “inner self” then “soul or entity” to All That Is, likening the inner self to a “messenger” between outer personality and entity, the entity to a “mediator” between All That is and inner self. He also stressed that there is no place where one of these regions of self ends, another begins.
Seth did _not_ describe these future methods, however, only the results. A strong experience involving my crown chakra as I briefly into contact with my own entity (also called “oversoul” and “greater self” by various folks) — this is long story and I’ve already written too much here — led me down this path, fed my interest in tinkering with homemade methods. Possibly, similar results could be achieved by suggestion and hypnosis.
But Michael’s post, traced backwards, deals with a theory underlying UFOs and their predecessors that in the first post also got into the nature of physical reality, subjective experience vs. an objective reality, etc.
Can I make a plausible connection between UFOs and All That Is?
That’s tough. A big problem is that I know of no way to summon a UFO (although see some of Dr. Steven Greer’s Sirius Disclosure YouTube videos, especially those concerning his workshops).
If there were an easy way to do this, I could sit with others in a mind quieted or meditative state. We’d summon a UFO and do our best to fathom the situation, possibly communicating with any beings associated with it.
Those beings would of course be connected with All That Is as much as anything or anyone else is; possibly, too, they would have a much greater knowledge of the nature of being and reality — physical and non-physical.
Even if there were some known way to summon a UFO, I would probably be hesitant to conduct such an experiment — I’m a little leery of having a direct encounter.

“I used to think the whole thing might be bunk, but I’ve read a little bit more since then. The book I referenced in a previous post, “UFOs: Pilots, Generals, and Government Officials Go On the Record,” by Leslie Kean, provides some pretty amazing cases that are awfully hard to dismiss. These are cases where the UFO is tracked simultaneously on ground radar and the radar of military aircraft, while being visually observed by pilots and military personnel on the ground. The pilots and other personnel have gone public, so it’s not as if this is an urban legend with no clear source. ” – Michael
Same here. I believe in the afterlife, OBEs , PK and psi partly because I have direct experiences (ADCs with regards to the afterlife) and partly because of the literature and research. Yet, if not for some personal experience, I’d probably still be a fence sitter.
I have never seen a UFO, but the military reports are very convincing. I used to know a pilot that saw (and reported) a UFO back in the 80s. He was totally convinced, off the record, it was a nuts and bolts alien space craft. These reports are , as you say, hard to dismiss.
I wonder, though, if the military reports are one class of phenomena whereas the other stuff, like the abductions and Joe Six-Pack’s report from out on a dirt road in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere are of a another class.
The military reports (as well as commercial pilot reports) have confirming material evidence like radar and cameras, whereas the Joe Six-Pack sightings not so much, AFAIK.
I’m pondering if the military reports haven’t biased Joe’s reports somewhat. Joe sees something (in an altered state?) and then fills in the picture with what honestly makes sense, a UFO image that’s in the back of his mind from the military reports he’s heard about.
Similarly, someone experiences sleep paralysis, an OBE, maybe a lucid dream and then, subconsciously trying to explain the experience, draws upon the reports of UFOs as that explanation. The more this explanation gets used the more likely it is used to be again (via both normal information sharing and psychic/morphic field type mechanisms?)
Reading the military reports, I’m not seeing a lot of the related effects (like a buzzing sensation, etc) that Vallee describes as being common. I think he may have lumped together thing that shouldn’t be.

With regard to evidence for any phenomena, I guess our opinion is shaped largely by what we’ve read or experienced ourselves. It’s very hard to dismiss all the evidence for UFOs – Leslie Kean’s book, as MP suggested, is pretty persuasive in my views.

Great post, Michael.
I agree: “God of the gaps,” “collective unconscious” of the gaps.
I think the bit of explanatory power that *does* exist in attributing UFO phenomena to the collective unconscious is the understanding (if it is in fact correct) that the phenomena are not wholly external and physical but have a mental component.
It is this dual mental/physical aspect of the phenomena that is truly confusing and calls us to go beyond that dichotomy.

It has been said that “God is closer than our very breath.” One has to admit that that is pretty close! Of course that might be possible if each and every conscious living thing were actually a small part of God, kind of like neurons, axons or dendrites in a colossal brain; a consciousness, a spark of God if you will, communicating with each other across synapses by way of neurotransmitters of touch, speech, writing and psi. And that colossal brain is what might be called the ‘collective consciousness’, a collection of all of the living consciousnesses acting in concert at times but not really a ‘collective un-conscious’. That could be what has been, down through the ages called “God”, symbolically represented by Michelangelo as an old man with a beard as great thinkers of the time tried to understand a concept of God which was beyond their ability to understand.
I would like to make a distinction between being conscious, which is an awareness in a living being of what is going on in the local environment and a consciousness, which is the thing that may be aware of the local environment but may also be aware of an internal or other-worldly environment in dreams or out-of-body experiences. The dictionary doesn’t want to define consciousness as a ‘thing’ but prefers to define it as a “state of being”, I think because something spiritual would have to be acknowledged.
With the recent blaze at Notre Dame in Paris France I have wondered if that may be an example of an effect of the collective consciousness (collective unconscious). As greater and greater numbers of people in France reject Christianity and with the influx of people of other religious beliefs, could it be that there has been an over-flowing of the collective consciousness in France to a point which has manifested itself in the destruction of perhaps the most representative icon of Christianity in France.
I myself at one time hid a picture of Marilyn Monroe under a wall-calendar in my office. It hung there for a year or two until I eventually manifested and married a young blond actress, though not exactly like Marilyn Monroe she was similar as a stereotype of—well, you know. – AOD

I like this, Amos. Particularly in response to Michael’s:
“As long as we are content to attribute everything that happens to the inscrutable will of an infinitely powerful and impossibly remote abstraction.”
To those who have an NDE or other spiritually transformative experience, God is hardly a remote abstraction!

//There is an example of a yogi creating a palace in Himalayas, just by thinking about it, to initiate his student to yoga meditation, and then made the palace vanish. You and I cannot do that, no matter how hard we bang our heads on the wall.//
I don’t believe the yogi did it, either. It’s a story.
//But there is no rational explanation of anything, other than the destiny theory.//
What you’ve posited isn’t a theory or an explanation (rational or otherwise). It has no content and explains nothing.

Michael Prescott: Thank you for accepting my comments. More details of yogic power and destiny theory can be found in the article given in my first post. That article has a list of original references. Anyone interested in the authenticity of the subjects should consult them for verification. The blog site at https://theoryofsouls.wordpress.com/ is a 300-page free book on the above subjects.

Not going to say there is no evidence for UFO’s but is their concrete evidence of little green men called aliens. I do think there is other life out there there is this massive multiverse. Why wouldn’t there not be?. I just don’t think we should mash Ufo’s up with the evidence for the afterlife the same way we would with any other phenomenon. Also, if their is an afterlife it has massive fundamental importance to all living things on this planet. Other life existing somewhere’s close by would not be nearly as shocking or revolutionary as the discovery of an afterlife.

A long time ago (~Y2K), when I first started thinking and reading about life after death stuff, I read a book written by Dr. Fred Alan Wolf PhD called “The Spiritual Universe.” Wolf was/is a physicist. I remember about halfway through reading the book a statement that said something to the effect that “thoughts are things” and something to the effect that matter is an epiphenomena of consciousness, and consciousness is primary and matter is secondary.
Most recently I read something to the effect that very early on in the study of quantum physics that they figured out there was a connection between consciousness and quantum physics. It had to do with the double slit experiment and when it was not being watched the photons appeared as waves and when someone was watching it the photons appeared as particles. Somehow the photons knew if they were being watched or not.
Quite often I’ll be thinking about someone and they will appear in my life, even people I haven’t thought about in a long time. It’s very interesting but I’m not sure how it happens? A thought will cross my mind and then I’ll see that person quite soon afterward. Did I conjure up that person or did my brain know beforehand that the person was fixing to appear? Maybe it was predestined to happen all along?

I watched the entire 2001 National Press Club UFO conference put on by Dr. Steven Greer again, after posting the link above.
Here it is again:



It took place on May 9 and generated a lot of attention at the time but within a few months was completely overshadowed by the events of 9/11.
It includes a number of military witnesses; some speak of crashed vehicles and bodies; one of many types of humanoid “aliens” — 57, I believe, like the 57 varieties of pickles once offered by Heinz — in addition to several variations of the usual “grays.”
Per many of these witnesses, all of this was classified, with compartmentalized security, and misinformation and “psyop” campaigns, not a surprise to anyone who has ever delved into “national security” or studied the growth of the military industrial complex, the related rise of intelligence agencies (with their clandestine branches) since WWII, etc.
It’s easy to imagine this happening during the Cold War and the “Space Race,” while WWII’s Manhattan Project is one prime example of a genuine need for secrecy — anything remotely connected to military technology would have been subject to the same or similiar security measures afterwards.
So it’s easy to imagine that such secrecy never ended, even with the fall of the USSR; it was prevalent even in the PSI area per the book I mentioned above, _Phenomena_.
But 57 variations of humanoid “aliens?”
This reminded me of the idea that, if there is any accuracy to that number, there’s no reason to assume that so many beings came from far away, physically, somehow surviving trips of impossibly great distances and time.
Some folks assume this is the case and maybe some in the military made the same assumption — from that perspective, the crafts must use some technology that somehow drastically shortens the time required (but why go to so much trouble to visit our planet and its less than noble inhabitant?).
Maybe some unknown % of sightings — and recovered vessels — are of that nature, assuming the witnesses weren’t lying or crazy.
Much more likely to me, however, is that they came from other systems of reality — not so “far away” at all.
This brings the subject much closer to Michael’s initial post and no “collective unconscious” need be brought in as an explanation.
Here, too, is something I can connect with my own experience, although there is no easy way I could replicate that, and no way I could prove its reality to anyone.
It’s close to Seth’s “probable realities.”
That is a topic I first read about in 1982, as I read a number of the books Seth dictated that year, but Seth embedded exercises in his books to enable his readers to validate the material, and I found one particular exercise (the Preliminary Probable Self exercise found in _The “Unknown” Reality — Volume One of a Seth Book_) particularly effective (and consciousness altering — the Seth material ceased to be “very interesting but sci-fi like” for me at that point).
Years later, I met other formerly solitary Seth readers thanks to the early Internet and in time belonged to small groups that engaged in experimental conscious altering activities, on-line and in-person.
In 2000, I had a very strong experience while “meeting up” with such a group, one that connects very closely with the topic at hand.
Describing the circumstances and background might take the equivalent of the chapter in a book and are certainly too complex and long to fully relate here, but the short version is that I found myself traveling — mentally, my body was seated in a circle with others in the living room of a house in Georgia — through something akin to one of those “wormholes” in StarTrek episodes.
The sides of this tunnel or wormhole that flashed by — this was happening at high velocity — were different probable realities, dimensions, reality systems, or whatever anyone might choose to call them.
I knew from previous experience (not nearly as intense previous experience) that I had to focus on one thought for this to stop, and for me to enter one particular reality system, and did so, suddenly finding myself high above another version of earth and Georgia, looking down. There were no signs whatsoever of any human habitation; all was green — trees and vegetation only.
The experience put me into an altered state, one that, like a previous but different experience, lasted for several days and included both telepathic and precognition experiences.
I believe this _might_ be replicated, but it required two different groups (a small group of six that was part of a second and larger group) engaging in two different “exercises” hours apart in the same physical location. What happened was a merging of the two exercises. (What I experienced wasn’t planned and came as a complete surprise or shock.)
Setting this up would require travel and might take as long as a week to get everyone up to speed, while those involved in 2000 were some of the most intrepid — in terms of engaging in experimental consciousness altering activities — on-line Seth readers of the day, many of them very “psychic” for those who believe in such things. I don’t know whether this would work or not with just anyone; probably not.
No matter — and I expect nearly everyone reading this is dismissing my entire comment, doubting that I actually experienced anything like this.
Still — If I could experience this once, in 2000, it’s very easy for me to imagine some group or society “somewhere” getting very skilled and knowledgeable about such areas and, perhaps over a long time, developing the expertise necessary to visit some other place, such as our earth — but from some “nearby” dimension or reality system, not some very distant — physically — star system.
Maybe they would combine this with that which we think of as “technology” in some way I have no way of knowing or understanding. This could include some kind of vessel or craft.
Maybe a highly developed version of traversing dimensions or reality systems would include creating the _appearance_ of some kind of vessel, something that people here might see and think of as a “flying saucer” or equivalent as the travelers emerged into our reality system.
