00:01.140 --> 00:21.340
Terence McKenna, should I describe him? I asked a number of people and they looked puzzled and loped off.

00:21.340 --> 00:32.840
Finally, I managed to get a consensus which is this, that Terence is an expert in Amazonian shamanism, a philosopher and an explorer of altered states, the sort of thing we all do when we get home of an evening.

00:34.060 --> 00:38.880
So, but I think he does it rather better than most. Terence McKenna, please welcome Terence.

00:38.880 --> 01:04.300
Well, I'm aware of how late in the day it is and I know some of you must be double parked, so I'll make this as succinct as possible.

01:05.780 --> 01:21.280
This morning's discussion caused me to wonder how much we would understand about electricity if our method of studying it was to stand on the tops of high hills and wait to be struck by lightning.

01:22.420 --> 01:30.280
It seems to me that's sort of the position that we're in vis-a-vis the UFOs.

01:30.280 --> 01:45.660
We have no real theory. We have conjectures. We have fiercely defended hypotheses, but we have very little that is concrete to go on.

01:45.660 --> 01:51.180
It's almost as though the issue of the UFO were an onion.

01:52.420 --> 02:03.180
As we peel the layers of the onion we discover, when we get to the center, that there is nothing there what whatsoever left.

02:03.180 --> 02:14.660
It reminds me that if you cross an onion with a UFO what you get is a flying saucer that brings tears to your eyes.

02:14.660 --> 02:24.520
and so what I would like to do is just based on the notes I took today

02:24.520 --> 02:31.080
to review what the options available to us are

02:31.080 --> 02:36.640
in terms of trying to get some kind of intellectual handle on this phenomenon

02:36.640 --> 02:38.820
and I'll move through them rather quickly

02:38.820 --> 02:46.060
one possibility that I suppose is now out of fashion

02:46.060 --> 02:48.080
because it wasn't mentioned here today

02:48.080 --> 02:52.420
other than what Jacques said about ball lightning and plasmas

02:52.420 --> 02:56.700
is that the UFOs are somehow natural phenomena

02:56.700 --> 03:03.700
perhaps piezoelectric forces that have an ability to interact

03:03.700 --> 03:08.700
with the delicate electrochemical machinery of the human nervous system

03:08.820 --> 03:16.080
to create an impression of hallucination or visitation or abduction

03:16.080 --> 03:18.400
that's one possibility

03:18.400 --> 03:27.160
the more serious contenders as explanations I think fall into three categories

03:27.160 --> 03:31.060
is it us, are we being visited

03:31.060 --> 03:36.940
or is there another tenant in the building that we are unaware of

03:37.820 --> 03:38.780
and

03:38.780 --> 03:38.800
and

03:38.800 --> 03:38.820
and

03:38.820 --> 03:45.780
, my own feeling about this tends to vacillate

03:45.780 --> 03:49.400
I have had contact experiences

03:49.400 --> 03:55.100
I have seen a UFO very close

03:55.100 --> 03:59.520
I have met with entities from other dimensions

03:59.520 --> 04:05.820
and it has not impelled me to take a strong position

04:05.820 --> 04:07.820
I've paid very close attention

04:07.820 --> 04:11.820
when these experiences were happening to me

04:11.820 --> 04:14.820
and there always seem to be loose ends

04:14.820 --> 04:23.820
that argue against whatever hypothesis seems currently most attractive

04:23.820 --> 04:26.820
and though Jacques didn't mention it today

04:26.820 --> 04:29.820
I recall in his book, The Invisible College

04:29.820 --> 04:36.820
he stressed the absurdity that seems to attend the contact experience

04:36.820 --> 04:37.780
that it's not just a matter of being visited or not being visited

04:37.780 --> 04:44.780
and that if the contactee will truly tell the unvarnished truth

04:44.780 --> 04:51.780
then there will be elements in the story which will make the contactee look like a moron

04:51.780 --> 04:59.780
in other words the invalidation of the experience is an inimical part of its structure

04:59.780 --> 05:06.780
almost as though the entities were saying well you may tell this story if you wish

05:06.780 --> 05:07.760
but if you tell it, it's not true

05:07.760 --> 05:11.760
but truthfully you'll be taken for a fool

05:11.760 --> 05:14.760
well there's nothing wrong with being taken for a fool

05:14.760 --> 05:19.760
except that it does seal the phenomenon rather nicely

05:19.760 --> 05:23.760
away from the very sober ladies and gentlemen

05:23.760 --> 05:27.760
who are making their careers in some branch of science

05:27.760 --> 05:36.760
they are not interested in investigating the kinky, the anecdotal, the possibly pathological

05:36.760 --> 05:44.770
in preparation for this conference I re-read Carl Jung's book published in 1954

05:44.770 --> 05:49.770
called Flying Saucers, A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky

05:49.770 --> 05:53.770
and to my mind no one has really gone beyond Jung

05:53.770 --> 06:02.770
he understood very clearly that saying that something is a denizen of the psychic realm

06:02.770 --> 06:07.770
no way precludes its also having

06:07.770 --> 06:11.770
an efficacious force in the physical realm

06:11.770 --> 06:15.770
through the phenomenon which he called synchronicity

06:15.770 --> 06:22.770
some of the points which Jacques made today about the nature of the medical examinations that are reported

06:22.770 --> 06:24.770
they are absurd

06:24.770 --> 06:28.770
they are unnecessary to be performed at our level of technology

06:28.770 --> 06:36.770
let alone any future more advanced level that we might be asked to believe in

06:36.770 --> 06:43.770
so if the UFO phenomenon is something that is coming from us

06:43.770 --> 06:47.770
then what is it and what is it for

06:47.770 --> 06:52.770
and I've given a good deal of thought to this question over the years

06:52.770 --> 06:58.770
because I tend to lean toward the notion that the UFO problem

06:58.770 --> 07:05.770
like many subtle problems is haunted by our own naivete

07:05.770 --> 07:07.770
concerning language

07:07.770 --> 07:12.770
if I were to randomly choose, and don't worry I shan't

07:12.770 --> 07:15.770
five of you to come up here

07:15.770 --> 07:22.770
and each one of you would have forty seconds to explain to the rest of us what an atom is

07:22.770 --> 07:25.770
it would be preposterous

07:25.770 --> 07:31.770
none of us know, I doubt there's a person in this room who can give an account of the atom

07:31.770 --> 07:35.770
that tallies with the quote unquote orthodox

07:35.770 --> 07:38.770
description of the atom

07:38.770 --> 07:46.770
so there is a curious fuzziness about the most mundane parts of reality

07:46.770 --> 07:54.770
when we really attempt to magnify and understand them in the clear light of consciousness

07:54.770 --> 07:59.770
how much more ambiguity there is then naturally

07:59.770 --> 08:04.770
attendant upon the examination of any kind of phenomenon

08:04.770 --> 08:10.770
phenomena which are rare or tend to be fringy

08:10.770 --> 08:15.770
so it isn't a matter of achieving consensus over the UFO

08:15.770 --> 08:21.770
we can't even achieve consensus about what constitutes a decent souffle

08:21.770 --> 08:30.770
so this passionate desire to drag us all under the umbrella of a single explanation

08:30.770 --> 08:33.770
is I think missing the point

08:34.770 --> 08:41.770
to my mind, if the UFO phenomena is something arising out of the superego

08:41.770 --> 08:45.770
of the human psychic organization

08:45.770 --> 08:49.770
then we should ask why

08:49.770 --> 08:51.770
what is it doing

08:51.770 --> 08:57.770
and I don't want to sound like a public relations agent for Jacques Vallée

08:57.770 --> 09:00.770
but to my mind, with the exception of Jung

09:00.770 --> 09:03.770
Jacques is the only commentator

09:03.770 --> 09:05.770
on the phenomenon

09:05.770 --> 09:08.770
who has really pushed the frontier back

09:08.770 --> 09:11.770
to my mind in the invisible college

09:11.770 --> 09:13.770
when Vallée says

09:13.770 --> 09:15.770
in looking at the effect

09:15.770 --> 09:18.770
not asking the question what is it

09:18.770 --> 09:20.770
but what does it do

09:20.770 --> 09:22.770
you very quickly see

09:22.770 --> 09:25.770
what the flying saucers are doing

09:25.770 --> 09:27.770
what they are doing

09:27.770 --> 09:31.770
is eroding faith in science

09:31.770 --> 09:33.770
they are an antidote

09:33.770 --> 09:36.770
to the scientific paradigm

09:36.770 --> 09:39.770
that has evolved over the past 400 years

09:39.770 --> 09:44.770
and which has led us to the brink of global catastrophe

09:44.770 --> 09:53.630
so the notion being developed here is

09:53.630 --> 09:58.630
that within the structure of the human psyche

09:58.630 --> 10:01.630
there is something like a governor

10:01.630 --> 10:04.630
something like a monitoring circuit

10:04.630 --> 10:08.630
which when a society begins to evolve

10:08.630 --> 10:13.630
in a pathological or lethal direction

10:13.630 --> 10:16.630
phenomena can be induced

10:16.630 --> 10:19.630
not by the egos of men and women

10:19.630 --> 10:21.630
not by their institutions

10:21.630 --> 10:23.630
but by the overmind

10:23.630 --> 10:26.630
the collectivity of the human species

10:26.630 --> 10:29.630
phenomena can be induced

10:29.630 --> 10:31.630
which are so corrosive

10:31.630 --> 10:34.630
to the ideologies currently in place

10:34.630 --> 10:37.630
that their underpinnings are cut away

10:37.630 --> 10:40.630
their validity is called into question

10:40.630 --> 10:44.630
and their programs for social development and control

10:44.630 --> 10:47.630
are invalidated and destroyed

10:47.630 --> 10:49.630
now a perfect example of this

10:49.630 --> 10:52.630
is the rise of infant Christianity

10:52.630 --> 10:56.630
if you'll cast your mind back to the situation

10:56.630 --> 11:00.630
in the early years of the Christian era

11:00.630 --> 11:03.630
and imagine the mentality

11:03.630 --> 11:06.630
of a Roman aristocrat

11:06.630 --> 11:09.630
a person of power in Roman society

11:09.630 --> 11:12.630
their physics is drawn from

11:12.630 --> 11:14.630
democracy and atomism

11:14.630 --> 11:17.630
in other words they are thoroughgoing materialists

11:17.630 --> 11:20.630
their social theory is drawn from

11:20.630 --> 11:22.630
Epictetus and Plato

11:22.630 --> 11:25.630
they are in fact extremely modern people

11:25.630 --> 11:27.630
by our own standards

11:27.630 --> 11:30.630
however among the gardeners

11:30.630 --> 11:33.630
and kitchen help and stable boys

11:33.630 --> 11:36.630
there is news of a modern

11:36.630 --> 11:39.630
momentous event in the Middle East

11:39.630 --> 11:42.630
a Jewish rabbi has triumphed over death

11:42.630 --> 11:45.630
and risen after three days in the tomb

11:45.630 --> 11:48.630
should the master of a Roman household

11:48.630 --> 11:51.630
have caught wind of this kind of

11:51.630 --> 11:55.630
superstitious talk among the help

11:55.630 --> 11:58.630
he would have just dismissed it with a sneer

11:58.630 --> 12:00.630
what a preposterous idea

12:00.630 --> 12:03.630
and it is a preposterous idea

12:03.630 --> 12:05.630
nevertheless

12:05.630 --> 12:08.630
the fact that an idea is preposterous

12:08.630 --> 12:10.630
has never held it back

12:10.630 --> 12:13.630
from making zealous converts

12:13.630 --> 12:15.630
and within 120 years

12:15.630 --> 12:19.630
after the enunciation of the birth of Christianity

12:19.630 --> 12:22.630
its missionaries were beating on the gates of Rome

12:22.630 --> 12:25.630
attempting to convert the emperor

12:25.630 --> 12:29.630
now I see a similar situation

12:29.630 --> 12:31.630
in the modern context

12:31.630 --> 12:34.630
that rationalism

12:34.630 --> 12:36.630
scientific technology

12:36.630 --> 12:38.630
which began

12:38.630 --> 12:40.630
and came out of

12:40.630 --> 12:43.630
the scholasticism of the Middle Ages

12:43.630 --> 12:46.630
and the quite legitimate wish

12:46.630 --> 12:48.630
to glorify God

12:48.630 --> 12:51.630
through an appreciation of his natural world

12:51.630 --> 12:53.630
turned into

12:53.630 --> 12:55.630
a kind of demonic pact

12:55.630 --> 12:57.630
a kind of descent

12:57.630 --> 12:59.630
into the underworld

12:59.630 --> 13:01.630
a necceia if you will

13:01.630 --> 13:03.630
leading to the present

13:03.630 --> 13:06.630
the present cultural and political impasse

13:06.630 --> 13:10.630
that involves massive stockpiles of atomic weapons

13:10.630 --> 13:13.630
huge propagandized populations

13:13.630 --> 13:17.630
cut off from any knowledge of their real histories

13:17.630 --> 13:20.630
male dominated organizations

13:20.630 --> 13:23.630
plying their message of

13:23.630 --> 13:28.630
lethal destruction and inevitable historical advance

13:28.630 --> 13:30.630
and into this situation

13:30.630 --> 13:33.630
comes suddenly an anomaly

13:33.630 --> 13:36.630
something which cannot be explained

13:36.630 --> 13:39.630
I believe that that is the purpose

13:39.630 --> 13:41.630
of the UFO

13:41.630 --> 13:44.630
to inject uncertainty

13:44.630 --> 13:47.630
into the male dominated paternalistic

13:47.630 --> 13:50.630
rational solar myth

13:50.630 --> 13:59.770
under which we are suffering

13:59.770 --> 14:03.770
so I suppose if you had to categorize this point of view

14:03.770 --> 14:05.770
you would say I'm taking a depth psychological

14:05.770 --> 14:08.770
psychoanalytic point of view

14:08.770 --> 14:11.770
what I'm saying is that

14:11.770 --> 14:13.770
the UFO is nothing more

14:13.770 --> 14:17.770
than an assertion of herself

14:17.770 --> 14:19.770
by the goddess

14:19.770 --> 14:21.770
into history

14:21.770 --> 14:23.770
saying to science

14:23.770 --> 14:26.770
and paternalistically

14:26.770 --> 14:29.770
governed and driven organizations

14:29.770 --> 14:32.770
you have gone far enough

14:32.770 --> 14:35.770
we are going to turn the world upside down

14:35.770 --> 14:38.770
your science is going to be shown up

14:38.770 --> 14:39.770
for what it is

14:39.770 --> 14:42.770
nothing more than a pleasant metaphor

14:42.770 --> 14:44.770
usefully extrapolated

14:44.770 --> 14:46.770
into the production of toys

14:46.770 --> 14:48.770
for healthy children

14:48.770 --> 14:50.770
that's what science is good for

14:50.770 --> 14:53.770
it is not some meta theory

14:53.770 --> 14:55.770
at whose feet

14:55.770 --> 14:57.770
every point of view

14:57.770 --> 14:59.770
from astrology to acupressure

14:59.770 --> 15:00.770
to channeling

15:00.770 --> 15:01.770
need be laid

15:01.770 --> 15:03.770
to have the hand of science

15:03.770 --> 15:05.770
announce thumbs up

15:05.770 --> 15:07.770
or thumbs down

15:07.770 --> 15:15.440
now there is another possibility

15:15.440 --> 15:19.440
which can be dovetailed into the first

15:19.440 --> 15:22.440
it is that

15:22.440 --> 15:25.440
it is not so much the over soul

15:25.440 --> 15:28.440
or the super ego of the human species

15:28.440 --> 15:30.440
which is responsible for

15:30.440 --> 15:34.440
stopping scientific masculine paternalism

15:34.440 --> 15:35.440
in its tracks

15:35.440 --> 15:38.440
but rather that unbeknownst

15:38.440 --> 15:42.440
to self-absorbed and myopic human beings

15:42.440 --> 15:44.440
we have always shared

15:44.440 --> 15:47.440
or at least for a very long period of time

15:47.440 --> 15:49.440
have shared this planet

15:49.440 --> 15:51.440
with an other

15:51.440 --> 15:53.440
another intelligent species

15:53.440 --> 15:55.440
another entity

15:55.440 --> 15:58.440
which may have been perfectly content

15:58.440 --> 16:01.440
to allow us to abide in our ignorance

16:01.440 --> 16:03.440
of its presence

16:03.440 --> 16:05.440
until the point where

16:05.440 --> 16:07.440
it came to its awareness

16:07.440 --> 16:10.440
that our style

16:10.440 --> 16:12.440
was toxifying

16:12.440 --> 16:14.440
ruining

16:14.440 --> 16:15.440
raping

16:15.440 --> 16:17.440
and perverting the planet

16:17.440 --> 16:19.440
and at that point

16:19.440 --> 16:21.440
this thing springs into action

16:21.440 --> 16:24.440
with similar end results

16:24.440 --> 16:26.440
as the previous scenario

16:26.440 --> 16:29.440
the invocation of the super ego

16:29.440 --> 16:31.440
it's astonishing to me

16:31.440 --> 16:33.440
that in the 45 years

16:33.440 --> 16:35.440
that the UFO

16:35.440 --> 16:37.440
are we being visited question

16:37.440 --> 16:39.440
has been kicked around

16:39.440 --> 16:40.440
I have never seen

16:40.440 --> 16:42.440
in any UFO

16:42.440 --> 16:44.440
book or publication

16:44.440 --> 16:46.440
the suggestion made

16:46.440 --> 16:48.440
that if we believe

16:48.440 --> 16:50.440
we are being visited

16:50.440 --> 16:52.440
by organic intelligent life forms

16:52.440 --> 16:54.440
from some other dimension

16:54.440 --> 16:56.440
or place in the galaxy

16:56.440 --> 16:58.440
then we should

16:58.440 --> 17:00.440
very very thoroughly

17:00.440 --> 17:02.440
examine the ecology

17:02.440 --> 17:04.440
of this planet

17:04.440 --> 17:06.440
for traces of its presence

17:06.440 --> 17:08.440
what assurance do we have

17:08.440 --> 17:11.440
that the several million life forms

17:11.440 --> 17:12.440
that we know to exist

17:12.440 --> 17:13.440
on this planet

17:13.440 --> 17:15.440
all evolved here

17:15.440 --> 17:17.440
do we have any assurance

17:17.440 --> 17:19.440
there are ways to gain

17:19.440 --> 17:21.440
that assurance

17:21.440 --> 17:24.440
by doing comparative DNA sequencing

17:24.440 --> 17:26.440
and this sort of thing

17:26.440 --> 17:27.440
some of you may know

17:27.440 --> 17:29.440
my own position

17:29.440 --> 17:31.440
or one of my positions

17:31.440 --> 17:33.440
which is that

17:33.440 --> 17:36.440
plants and fungi

17:36.440 --> 17:39.440
containing psychoactive compounds

17:39.440 --> 17:41.440
are extremely important

17:41.440 --> 17:43.440
and extremely viable candidates

17:43.440 --> 17:45.440
for extraterrestrial intruders

17:45.440 --> 17:47.440
into the environment

17:47.440 --> 17:49.440
of this planet

17:49.440 --> 17:51.440
and this is not to put down

17:51.440 --> 17:53.440
Whitley's story

17:53.440 --> 17:55.440
which is a very interesting story

17:55.440 --> 17:57.440
but had he prefaced his story

17:57.440 --> 17:59.440
with the comment that

17:59.440 --> 18:01.440
before it all happened

18:01.440 --> 18:03.440
he took 5 grams of mushrooms

18:03.440 --> 18:05.440
I doubt he could have sold it

18:05.440 --> 18:07.440
to his mother

18:07.440 --> 18:09.440
because in the world

18:09.440 --> 18:10.440
where mushrooms

18:10.440 --> 18:12.440
and other psychedelic plants

18:12.440 --> 18:13.440
are imbibed

18:13.440 --> 18:16.440
such stories are commonplace

18:16.440 --> 18:18.440
it's no big deal

18:18.440 --> 18:21.440
so I'm always amused

18:21.440 --> 18:23.440
by UFO investigators

18:23.440 --> 18:25.440
and compilers of data

18:25.440 --> 18:27.440
who will tell you

18:27.440 --> 18:29.440
well the first thing we did

18:29.440 --> 18:31.440
is we got rid of all the stories

18:31.440 --> 18:32.440
told by anybody

18:32.440 --> 18:34.440
who was intoxicated on anything

18:34.440 --> 18:36.440
it seems to me

18:36.440 --> 18:38.440
that move has probably

18:38.440 --> 18:40.440
absolutely precluded

18:40.440 --> 18:42.440
any possibility of understanding

18:42.440 --> 18:44.440
what is going on

18:44.440 --> 18:50.720
you see culture

18:50.720 --> 18:53.720
is something that we wear

18:53.720 --> 18:54.720
like clothes

18:54.720 --> 18:56.720
and we're very much at ease

18:56.720 --> 18:57.720
with culture

18:57.720 --> 19:00.720
our mind is very much at ease

19:00.720 --> 19:01.720
with culture

19:01.720 --> 19:03.720
and we gather the language

19:03.720 --> 19:05.720
of a given culture around us

19:05.720 --> 19:07.720
culture is the mind

19:07.720 --> 19:09.720
unperturbed

19:09.720 --> 19:11.720
when a shaman

19:11.720 --> 19:13.720
or an ecstatic visionary

19:13.720 --> 19:15.720
goes into the wilderness

19:15.720 --> 19:17.720
and through ordeal

19:17.720 --> 19:19.720
or yogic practice

19:19.720 --> 19:21.720
or breath control

19:21.720 --> 19:24.720
or the taking of a psychoactive substance

19:24.720 --> 19:26.720
perturbs the mind

19:26.720 --> 19:29.720
then we see what the mind is

19:29.720 --> 19:31.720
out naked

19:31.720 --> 19:33.720
undressed from the clothing

19:33.720 --> 19:36.720
of language and convention

19:36.720 --> 19:39.720
that's why I've made this point

19:39.720 --> 19:41.720
over and over again

19:41.720 --> 19:42.720
there cannot

19:42.720 --> 19:44.720
there will not

19:44.720 --> 19:46.720
be a serious discussion

19:46.720 --> 19:49.720
of the origin of UFOs

19:49.720 --> 19:51.720
or for that matter

19:51.720 --> 19:54.720
of the nature of consciousness itself

19:54.720 --> 19:56.720
until we leave

19:56.720 --> 19:58.720
the utterly culture bound

19:58.720 --> 20:00.720
provincial

20:00.720 --> 20:02.720
and hick like attitude

20:02.720 --> 20:05.720
that science has foisted on us

20:05.720 --> 20:07.720
about perturbing the mind

20:07.720 --> 20:10.720
without the use of psychedelic substances

20:10.720 --> 20:12.720
I think solving the UFO dilemma

20:12.720 --> 20:14.720
is going to be

20:14.720 --> 20:15.720
as thankless a task

20:15.720 --> 20:17.720
as attempting to understand

20:17.720 --> 20:18.720
the nature of the universe

20:18.720 --> 20:20.720
without availing yourself

20:20.720 --> 20:22.720
of the use of a telescope

20:22.720 --> 20:25.720
it is simply tying our hands

20:25.720 --> 20:27.720
behind our backs

20:28.720 --> 20:31.720
now there is a third possibility

20:31.720 --> 20:33.720
which is

20:33.720 --> 20:36.720
the one that is the more commonly

20:36.720 --> 20:37.720
entertained notion

20:37.720 --> 20:38.720
which is simply

20:38.720 --> 20:40.720
that we are being observed

20:40.720 --> 20:41.720
by

20:41.720 --> 20:43.720
intelligent life forms

20:43.720 --> 20:44.720
that evolve somewhere else

20:44.720 --> 20:45.720
in the galaxy

20:45.720 --> 20:48.720
they have quarantined our planet

20:48.720 --> 20:51.720
to keep us from being agitated

20:51.720 --> 20:53.720
by their presence

20:53.720 --> 20:55.720
and they will eventually

20:55.720 --> 20:58.720
reveal themselves

20:58.720 --> 21:00.720
I find this an extremely

21:00.720 --> 21:03.720
odious notion

21:03.720 --> 21:05.720
especially the part about

21:05.720 --> 21:08.720
how much chaos there will be

21:08.720 --> 21:10.720
if the truth is ever revealed

21:10.720 --> 21:12.720
this is nothing more than

21:12.720 --> 21:15.720
the reassertion of masculine paternalism

21:15.720 --> 21:17.720
its right to keep secrets

21:17.720 --> 21:19.720
from the rest of us

21:19.720 --> 21:21.720
its belief that there is

21:21.720 --> 21:24.720
a privileged all-male class of people

21:24.720 --> 21:25.720
who can be let in

21:25.720 --> 21:27.720
on what's really going on

21:27.720 --> 21:28.720
and the rest of us

21:28.720 --> 21:29.720
poor dears

21:29.720 --> 21:32.720
have to be shielded

21:32.720 --> 21:35.720
from these tremendously shocking facts

21:35.720 --> 21:37.720
I discussed this once

21:37.720 --> 21:39.720
with an entity

21:39.720 --> 21:41.720
and it said to me

21:41.720 --> 21:42.720
well

21:42.720 --> 21:43.720
you know

21:43.720 --> 21:44.720
we've disguised ourselves

21:44.720 --> 21:47.720
as an extraterrestrial invasion

21:47.720 --> 21:49.720
so as to not alarm people

21:49.720 --> 21:51.720
with what's really going on

21:51.720 --> 21:58.820
we're getting close to the end folks

21:58.820 --> 22:00.820
there is a fourth possibility

22:00.820 --> 22:02.820
which I mention only in the interests

22:02.820 --> 22:04.820
of thoroughness

22:04.820 --> 22:06.820
which is

22:06.820 --> 22:08.820
that these entities

22:08.820 --> 22:09.820
and their vehicles

22:09.820 --> 22:11.820
are not spacecraft at all

22:11.820 --> 22:13.820
but are in some sense

22:13.820 --> 22:15.820
time craft

22:15.820 --> 22:16.820
and that we may be

22:16.820 --> 22:20.820
the tremendous sense of empathy

22:20.820 --> 22:23.820
with these quite physically unusual beings

22:23.820 --> 22:25.820
may arise out of the fact

22:25.820 --> 22:27.820
that we're looking into the faces

22:27.820 --> 22:30.820
of our great great great grandchildren

22:30.820 --> 22:34.820
who may be emanating back through time

22:34.820 --> 22:36.820
carrying the message

22:36.820 --> 22:38.820
a message

22:38.820 --> 22:40.820
about some sort of future event

22:40.820 --> 22:42.820
or situation

22:42.820 --> 22:46.820
that lies many centuries downstream from us

22:46.820 --> 22:48.820
but that is of such import

22:48.820 --> 22:51.820
that from that point

22:51.820 --> 22:53.820
agents are moving backward

22:53.820 --> 22:56.820
and possibly forward through time

22:56.820 --> 22:58.820
spreading the news

22:58.820 --> 23:01.820
of some kind of mode shift

23:01.820 --> 23:03.820
this doesn't seem to me

23:03.820 --> 23:05.820
to be impossible

23:05.820 --> 23:07.820
however

23:07.820 --> 23:10.820
based on my own experience

23:10.820 --> 23:12.820
which is what I think this thing

23:12.820 --> 23:13.820
really comes down to

23:13.820 --> 23:14.820
because what we have

23:14.820 --> 23:16.820
in the UFO issue

23:16.820 --> 23:18.820
is an official position

23:18.820 --> 23:20.820
supported by scientists

23:20.820 --> 23:22.820
whether they be Neanderthal right wingers

23:22.820 --> 23:24.820
or doctrinaire Marxists

23:24.820 --> 23:26.820
or whatever

23:26.820 --> 23:29.820
a conspiracy of consensus

23:29.820 --> 23:32.820
against the

23:32.820 --> 23:35.820
personal experiences

23:35.820 --> 23:37.820
of individual human beings

23:37.820 --> 23:38.820
who are told

23:38.820 --> 23:40.820
well what you're saying happened to you

23:40.820 --> 23:42.820
can't have happened

23:42.820 --> 23:44.820
you are insane

23:44.820 --> 23:45.820
you are mentally ill

23:45.820 --> 23:47.820
you are mistaken

23:47.820 --> 23:49.820
so what we really have here

23:49.820 --> 23:51.820
is a political issue

23:51.820 --> 23:53.820
which do you believe

23:53.820 --> 23:57.820
your perceptions

23:57.820 --> 24:00.820
memories and expectations

24:00.820 --> 24:02.820
aided by your intellect

24:02.820 --> 24:05.820
or some kind of utterly abstract

24:05.820 --> 24:10.820
official doctrinaire sexist philosophy

24:10.820 --> 24:12.820
laid on from above

24:12.820 --> 24:13.820
so I think really

24:13.820 --> 24:15.820
what the saucers do

24:15.820 --> 24:17.820
if you accept their presence

24:17.820 --> 24:19.820
is they empower us

24:19.820 --> 24:21.820
they empower us

24:21.820 --> 24:22.820
to see science

24:22.820 --> 24:24.820
for the shell game

24:24.820 --> 24:25.820
that it is

24:25.820 --> 24:27.820
to see the past

24:27.820 --> 24:28.820
400 years

24:28.820 --> 24:30.820
of western culture

24:30.820 --> 24:32.820
for the pathetic

24:32.820 --> 24:33.820
narrowing

24:33.820 --> 24:35.820
of the spectrum

24:35.820 --> 24:37.820
of allowable phenomena

24:37.820 --> 24:38.820
that it is

24:38.820 --> 24:40.820
to the point where people think

24:40.820 --> 24:42.820
that if you can't bang on something

24:42.820 --> 24:43.820
with a hammer

24:43.820 --> 24:45.820
it isn't real

24:45.820 --> 24:47.820
which to me

24:47.820 --> 24:49.820
is just wild talk

24:49.820 --> 24:50.820
I can't even imagine

24:50.820 --> 24:52.820
where that kind of thing

24:52.820 --> 24:53.820
is coming from

24:53.820 --> 24:55.820
so I think

24:55.820 --> 24:57.820
and I'll just leave you

24:57.820 --> 24:59.820
with this final thought

24:59.820 --> 25:01.820
that in lieu

25:01.820 --> 25:04.820
of the repression

25:04.820 --> 25:05.820
and it is a repression

25:05.820 --> 25:07.820
throughout this century

25:07.820 --> 25:11.820
of legitimately available ways

25:11.820 --> 25:13.820
of exploring

25:13.820 --> 25:15.820
the modalities of consciousness

25:15.820 --> 25:17.820
and by that I mean

25:17.820 --> 25:20.820
psychoactive compounds

25:20.820 --> 25:23.820
the repression of those compounds

25:23.820 --> 25:26.820
and their use by science

25:26.820 --> 25:28.820
has created a neurotic

25:28.820 --> 25:30.820
energy dynamic

25:30.820 --> 25:32.820
in the mass psyche

25:32.820 --> 25:34.820
and the mass psyche

25:34.820 --> 25:36.820
has begun to hallucinate

25:36.820 --> 25:39.820
because

25:39.820 --> 25:41.820
because the destiny

25:41.820 --> 25:43.820
of human beings

25:43.820 --> 25:45.820
is to live

25:45.820 --> 25:48.820
in the imagination

25:48.820 --> 25:51.820
in the hands of the goddess

25:51.820 --> 25:53.820
and wherever that

25:53.820 --> 25:55.820
thrust

25:55.820 --> 25:57.820
is impeded

25:57.820 --> 26:00.820
psychopathy will result

26:00.820 --> 26:01.820
there will be neurosis

26:01.820 --> 26:03.820
there will be psychic epidemic

26:03.820 --> 26:06.820
there will be confusion

26:06.820 --> 26:07.820
so I believe

26:07.820 --> 26:09.820
that until we

26:09.820 --> 26:10.820
form

26:10.820 --> 26:12.820
a resolution

26:12.820 --> 26:13.820
to conduct

26:13.820 --> 26:14.820
an unfettered

26:14.820 --> 26:16.820
and mature

26:16.820 --> 26:17.820
exploration

26:17.820 --> 26:19.820
of the human psychology

26:19.820 --> 26:21.820
using all the tools

26:21.820 --> 26:22.820
available to us

26:22.820 --> 26:24.820
that the skies of earth

26:24.820 --> 26:25.820
will continue

26:25.820 --> 26:26.820
to be haunted

26:26.820 --> 26:28.820
by flying saucers

26:28.820 --> 26:29.820
they will be

26:29.820 --> 26:30.820
they will continue

26:30.820 --> 26:31.820
to be haunted

26:31.820 --> 26:32.820
by flying saucers

26:32.820 --> 26:34.820
and their denizens

26:34.820 --> 26:35.820
because they

26:35.820 --> 26:37.820
are symbols

26:37.820 --> 26:38.820
of our

26:38.820 --> 26:39.820
infantile

26:39.820 --> 26:41.820
infantilism

26:41.820 --> 26:42.820
of our

26:42.820 --> 26:44.820
sense of loss

26:44.820 --> 26:45.820
of our

26:45.820 --> 26:47.820
incompleteness

26:47.820 --> 26:49.820
and we can heal

26:49.820 --> 26:50.820
that breach

26:50.820 --> 26:51.820
by simply

26:51.820 --> 26:53.820
recognizing

26:53.820 --> 26:54.820
that the true mystery

26:54.820 --> 26:56.820
lies within us

26:56.820 --> 26:58.820
the true mystery

26:58.820 --> 27:00.820
is in the mind

27:00.820 --> 27:02.820
and its historical promise

27:02.820 --> 27:04.820
is the transformation

27:04.820 --> 27:05.820
of our society

27:05.820 --> 27:07.820
through the abandonment

27:07.820 --> 27:08.820
of reason

27:08.820 --> 27:09.820
as it has been

27:09.820 --> 27:10.820
narrowly defined

27:10.820 --> 27:11.820
by this extremely

27:11.820 --> 27:12.820
solar

27:12.820 --> 27:14.820
masculine

27:14.820 --> 27:15.820
paternalistic

27:15.820 --> 27:16.820
materialistic

27:16.820 --> 27:17.820
legacy

27:17.820 --> 27:18.820
that we are

27:18.820 --> 27:20.820
the victims of

27:20.820 --> 27:21.820
well I could talk

27:21.820 --> 27:22.820
for a long time

27:22.820 --> 27:23.820
but I think that's it

27:23.820 --> 27:25.820
in a nutshell

27:25.820 --> 27:26.820
thank you

27:26.820 --> 27:27.820
thank you

27:27.820 --> 27:44.380
points I didn't cover

27:44.380 --> 27:46.380
before I get into that though

27:46.380 --> 27:48.380
I would like to

27:48.380 --> 27:50.380
thank and call attention

27:50.380 --> 27:51.380
to the magnificent

27:51.380 --> 27:52.380
accomplishment

27:52.380 --> 27:55.380
of Elisa Gar

27:55.380 --> 28:10.310
and the Omega Foundation

28:10.310 --> 28:11.310
her people have done

28:11.310 --> 28:12.310
a tremendous job

28:12.310 --> 28:14.310
and this is definitely

28:14.310 --> 28:16.310
the most glittering

28:16.310 --> 28:17.310
new age event

28:17.310 --> 28:18.310
that I have

28:18.310 --> 28:20.310
ever had the privilege

28:20.310 --> 28:21.310
of attending

28:21.310 --> 28:22.310
I said to someone

28:22.310 --> 28:23.310
does the fact

28:23.310 --> 28:24.310
that the backdrops

28:24.310 --> 28:25.310
are beginning to look

28:25.310 --> 28:27.310
like the Russian Revolution

28:27.310 --> 28:29.310
mean we're making progress

28:34.310 --> 28:35.310
can you all

28:35.310 --> 28:36.310
hear me

28:45.310 --> 28:48.310
the area that I wanted

28:48.310 --> 28:49.310
to spend a few minutes

28:49.310 --> 28:50.310
on tonight

28:50.310 --> 28:51.310
that I didn't touch on

28:51.310 --> 28:52.310
this afternoon

28:52.310 --> 28:54.310
is what then

28:54.310 --> 28:56.310
is to be done

28:56.310 --> 28:58.310
Tolstoy's question

28:58.310 --> 29:00.310
once we reach

29:00.310 --> 29:01.310
this level of

29:01.310 --> 29:03.310
admitting the phenomenon

29:03.310 --> 29:05.310
experiencing the phenomenon

29:05.310 --> 29:07.310
trying to talk

29:07.310 --> 29:08.310
with each other

29:08.310 --> 29:09.310
about it

29:09.310 --> 29:10.310
what is to be done

29:10.310 --> 29:11.310
how are we

29:11.310 --> 29:13.310
to translate

29:13.310 --> 29:14.310
the message

29:14.310 --> 29:15.310
coming from the other side

29:15.310 --> 29:18.310
into a concrete reality

29:18.310 --> 29:20.310
that works for all of us

29:20.310 --> 29:21.310
or is that

29:21.310 --> 29:23.310
a good thing

29:23.310 --> 29:27.310
and my take on this

29:27.310 --> 29:28.310
which is nothing more

29:28.310 --> 29:31.310
than my take on it

29:31.310 --> 29:34.310
is that what we are involved

29:34.310 --> 29:37.310
in and with

29:37.310 --> 29:39.310
in the UFO phenomenon

29:39.310 --> 29:42.310
is an extremely poignant

29:42.310 --> 29:44.310
and intense effort

29:44.310 --> 29:47.310
to end our alienation

29:47.310 --> 29:50.310
from the unconscious

29:50.310 --> 29:52.310
that we can no longer

29:52.310 --> 29:54.310
have the luxury

29:54.310 --> 29:56.310
of an unconscious portion

29:56.310 --> 29:58.310
of the human psyche

29:58.310 --> 30:00.310
that that is an artifact

30:00.310 --> 30:02.310
of the childhood

30:02.310 --> 30:03.310
of our species

30:03.310 --> 30:05.310
and that in fact

30:05.310 --> 30:07.310
the ending of childhood

30:07.310 --> 30:09.310
anticipated brilliantly

30:09.310 --> 30:10.310
in Arthur C. Clarke's

30:10.310 --> 30:12.310
novel Childhood's End

30:12.310 --> 30:14.310
the ending of childhood

30:14.310 --> 30:16.310
is what we are experiencing

30:16.310 --> 30:18.310
in relationship

30:18.310 --> 30:20.310
to the alien archetype

30:20.310 --> 30:22.310
as a species

30:22.310 --> 30:24.310
we are coming into

30:24.310 --> 30:25.310
a kind of

30:25.310 --> 30:27.310
pubescent awareness

30:27.310 --> 30:28.310
of the presence

30:28.310 --> 30:29.310
of the other

30:29.310 --> 30:31.310
our childish

30:31.310 --> 30:33.310
historical concerns

30:33.310 --> 30:35.310
that were self-directed

30:35.310 --> 30:37.310
and self-indulgent

30:37.310 --> 30:40.310
no longer satisfy

30:40.310 --> 30:42.310
and a deep

30:42.310 --> 30:44.310
kind of yearning

30:44.310 --> 30:46.310
has come upon the species

30:46.310 --> 30:48.310
a yearning for

30:48.310 --> 30:50.310
the confirmation

30:50.310 --> 30:51.310
of the presence

30:51.310 --> 30:53.310
of an other

30:53.310 --> 30:54.310
in the same way

30:54.310 --> 30:56.310
that an adolescent child

30:56.310 --> 30:58.310
becomes aware of

30:58.310 --> 30:59.310
and develops

30:59.310 --> 31:01.310
an extremely intense

31:01.310 --> 31:02.310
highly charged

31:02.310 --> 31:04.310
and ambivalent attitude

31:04.310 --> 31:06.310
toward the opposite sex

31:06.310 --> 31:08.310
I think we are discovering

31:08.310 --> 31:11.310
in our own psychic structure

31:11.310 --> 31:13.310
the potential

31:13.310 --> 31:15.310
the possibility

31:15.310 --> 31:16.310
of a relationship

31:16.310 --> 31:18.310
with an intelligent species

31:18.310 --> 31:20.310
outside ourselves

31:20.310 --> 31:22.310
and this raises for us

31:22.310 --> 31:24.310
all the tensions

31:24.310 --> 31:26.310
all the issues

31:26.310 --> 31:27.310
that accompany

31:27.310 --> 31:30.310
an adolescent love affair

31:30.310 --> 31:31.310
how are we

31:31.310 --> 31:34.310
to eliminate

31:34.310 --> 31:36.310
the human unconscious

31:36.310 --> 31:38.310
and come into our birthright

31:38.310 --> 31:39.310
as fully conscious

31:39.310 --> 31:41.310
enlightened beings

31:41.310 --> 31:44.560
what is to be done

31:44.560 --> 31:46.560
again my opinion

31:46.560 --> 31:49.560
is that what we need to do

31:49.560 --> 31:50.560
is to concentrate

31:50.560 --> 31:51.560
on the phenomenon

31:51.560 --> 31:53.560
of communication

31:53.560 --> 31:54.560
and the evolution

31:54.560 --> 31:55.560
of language

31:55.560 --> 31:58.560
we have been far too naive

31:58.560 --> 31:59.560
about the role

31:59.560 --> 32:01.560
that language has played

32:01.560 --> 32:02.560
in the construction

32:02.560 --> 32:03.560
of reality

32:03.560 --> 32:04.560
at its center

32:04.560 --> 32:05.560
let alone

32:05.560 --> 32:07.560
off on the fringes

32:07.560 --> 32:08.560
with the elves

32:08.560 --> 32:09.560
and the fairies

32:09.560 --> 32:11.560
and the UFOs

32:11.560 --> 32:13.560
we need to test

32:13.560 --> 32:14.560
the envelope

32:14.560 --> 32:15.560
of language

32:15.560 --> 32:16.560
we need to perfect

32:16.560 --> 32:19.560
the fine idea

32:19.560 --> 32:20.560
of being able

32:20.560 --> 32:21.560
to communicate

32:21.560 --> 32:22.560
with each other

32:22.560 --> 32:24.560
at the moment

32:24.560 --> 32:25.560
and I think we proved it

32:25.560 --> 32:26.560
at this conference

32:26.560 --> 32:27.560
it's nothing more

32:27.560 --> 32:29.560
than a fine idea

32:29.560 --> 32:31.560
I felt before I came

32:31.560 --> 32:33.560
to this meeting

32:33.560 --> 32:34.560
that we would all sit down

32:34.560 --> 32:35.560
in a room

32:35.560 --> 32:37.560
and make great progress

32:37.560 --> 32:38.560
in about an hour

32:38.560 --> 32:39.560
toward understanding

32:39.560 --> 32:41.560
the phenomenon

32:41.560 --> 32:42.560
and then I discovered

32:42.560 --> 32:43.560
that we were all

32:43.560 --> 32:45.560
including myself

32:45.560 --> 32:46.560
heavily freighted

32:46.560 --> 32:49.560
with linguistic momentum

32:49.560 --> 32:52.560
the power of our own metaphors

32:52.560 --> 32:54.560
to carry us past

32:54.560 --> 32:55.560
the opportunity

32:55.560 --> 32:56.560
to listen

32:56.560 --> 32:57.560
to what other people

32:57.560 --> 32:58.560
were saying

32:58.560 --> 33:00.560
and so I think that

33:00.560 --> 33:02.560
what we are dreaming of

33:02.560 --> 33:04.560
is a common language

33:04.560 --> 33:06.560
and what the saucers

33:06.560 --> 33:08.560
are attempting to teach

33:08.560 --> 33:10.560
is the modality

33:10.560 --> 33:12.560
of a linguistic transformation

33:12.560 --> 33:14.560
in the direction

33:14.560 --> 33:16.560
of a kind of communication

33:16.560 --> 33:18.560
that is not dependent

33:18.560 --> 33:20.560
on culturally sanctioned

33:20.560 --> 33:21.560
dictionaries

33:21.560 --> 33:23.560
but that is in the bones

33:23.560 --> 33:25.560
in the neurons

33:25.560 --> 33:27.560
in the synapses

33:27.560 --> 33:29.560
so that the ambiguity

33:29.560 --> 33:30.560
of the language

33:30.560 --> 33:31.560
which attends

33:31.560 --> 33:32.560
all our discussions

33:32.560 --> 33:34.560
about reality

33:34.560 --> 33:35.560
will be purged

33:35.560 --> 33:37.560
from our world view

33:37.560 --> 33:38.560
this is the essence

33:38.560 --> 33:40.560
of falling in love

33:40.560 --> 33:41.560
one definition

33:41.560 --> 33:42.560
of falling in love

33:42.560 --> 33:43.560
is nothing more

33:43.560 --> 33:45.560
than lifting the veils

33:45.560 --> 33:46.560
of misconception

33:46.560 --> 33:48.560
between two entities

33:48.560 --> 33:50.560
and still being able

33:50.560 --> 33:51.560
to go forward

33:51.560 --> 33:53.560
toward some kind of union

33:53.560 --> 33:55.560
so I really believe

33:55.560 --> 33:57.560
that we have moved

33:57.560 --> 33:59.560
so far

33:59.560 --> 34:01.560
from an awareness

34:01.560 --> 34:02.560
of the feminine portion

34:02.560 --> 34:04.560
of our psyche

34:04.560 --> 34:05.560
that now

34:05.560 --> 34:07.560
the thing dearest to us

34:07.560 --> 34:09.560
and closest to us

34:09.560 --> 34:11.560
must present itself

34:11.560 --> 34:12.560
in consciousness

34:12.560 --> 34:13.560
under the guise

34:13.560 --> 34:15.560
of an extraterrestrial

34:15.560 --> 34:18.560
or interdimensional invader

34:18.560 --> 34:19.560
it's a comment

34:19.560 --> 34:21.560
on the alienation

34:21.560 --> 34:22.560
of our era

34:22.560 --> 34:23.560
and the way

34:23.560 --> 34:25.560
this schism

34:25.560 --> 34:26.560
can be breached

34:26.560 --> 34:28.560
the way this psychic wound

34:28.560 --> 34:29.560
can be breached

34:29.560 --> 34:30.560
can be healed

34:30.560 --> 34:32.560
and a kind of species

34:32.560 --> 34:34.560
wide individuality

34:34.560 --> 34:35.560
merge

34:35.560 --> 34:38.560
is through taking control

34:38.560 --> 34:39.560
conscious control

34:39.560 --> 34:40.560
of the evolution

34:40.560 --> 34:41.560
of language

34:41.560 --> 34:42.560
this means paying

34:42.560 --> 34:44.560
a great deal more attention

34:44.560 --> 34:45.560
to what we say

34:45.560 --> 34:46.560
to each other

34:46.560 --> 34:49.560
to linguistic intent

34:49.560 --> 34:50.560
I think that

34:50.560 --> 34:52.560
the main legacy

34:52.560 --> 34:53.560
of the 1960s

34:53.560 --> 34:55.560
into the 80s

34:55.560 --> 34:56.560
was a legacy

34:56.560 --> 34:58.560
of language transformed

34:58.560 --> 34:59.560
in the direction

34:59.560 --> 35:01.560
of feeling

35:01.560 --> 35:03.560
to me the most shocking

35:03.560 --> 35:05.560
part of the male dominance

35:05.560 --> 35:06.560
of our world view

35:06.560 --> 35:08.560
is the paucity

35:08.560 --> 35:10.560
in our language

35:10.560 --> 35:11.560
of terms

35:11.560 --> 35:13.560
that convey emotion

35:13.560 --> 35:15.560
we have 500 words

35:15.560 --> 35:18.560
for the components

35:18.560 --> 35:20.560
of a steering mechanism

35:20.560 --> 35:22.560
we have five words

35:22.560 --> 35:24.560
for emotions

35:24.560 --> 35:26.560
each one of us

35:26.560 --> 35:27.560
is a swim

35:27.560 --> 35:28.560
in a concavity

35:28.560 --> 35:30.560
in a concatenation

35:30.560 --> 35:32.560
of emotionally subtle

35:32.560 --> 35:33.560
wave phenomena

35:33.560 --> 35:34.560
that come and go

35:34.560 --> 35:35.560
just below the surface

35:35.560 --> 35:37.560
of our awareness

35:37.560 --> 35:38.560
but if any one of us

35:38.560 --> 35:39.560
turns to another

35:39.560 --> 35:40.560
and says

35:40.560 --> 35:41.560
how are you doing

35:41.560 --> 35:42.560
the answer is

35:42.560 --> 35:43.560
fine, fine

35:43.560 --> 35:44.560
yourself

35:46.560 --> 35:47.560
this is presenting

35:47.560 --> 35:49.560
a tremendous barrier

35:49.560 --> 35:50.560
to us

35:50.560 --> 35:51.560
to the expression

35:51.560 --> 35:52.560
of our wholeness

35:52.560 --> 35:54.560
and I'm completely

35:54.560 --> 35:56.560
willing to line up

35:56.560 --> 35:57.560
behind Carl Jung

35:57.560 --> 35:58.560
on the notion

35:58.560 --> 35:59.560
that the UFO

35:59.560 --> 36:01.560
is an expression

36:01.560 --> 36:03.560
of our longing

36:03.560 --> 36:05.560
for wholeness

36:05.560 --> 36:07.560
in principio

36:07.560 --> 36:08.560
ad verbum

36:08.560 --> 36:09.560
ad verbo

36:09.560 --> 36:10.560
caro factum est

36:10.560 --> 36:11.560
in the beginning

36:11.560 --> 36:12.560
was the word

36:12.560 --> 36:13.560
and the word

36:13.560 --> 36:15.560
was made flesh

36:15.560 --> 36:16.560
in other words

36:16.560 --> 36:17.560
if you were

36:17.560 --> 36:18.560
an actual

36:18.560 --> 36:19.560
extraterrestrial

36:19.560 --> 36:21.560
standing off

36:21.560 --> 36:22.560
in a spaceship

36:22.560 --> 36:23.560
looking down

36:23.560 --> 36:24.560
on this planet

36:24.560 --> 36:25.560
you would not see

36:25.560 --> 36:26.560
the strides

36:26.560 --> 36:27.560
that we have made

36:27.560 --> 36:28.560
in the writings

36:28.560 --> 36:29.560
of individual species

36:29.560 --> 36:30.560
you would not even see

36:30.560 --> 36:31.560
the great classes

36:31.560 --> 36:32.560
of organized

36:32.560 --> 36:33.560
organic life

36:33.560 --> 36:34.560
what you would see

36:34.560 --> 36:35.560
instead

36:35.560 --> 36:36.560
is a gene swarm

36:36.560 --> 36:37.560
a language frenzy

36:37.560 --> 36:38.560
the coding

36:38.560 --> 36:39.560
of meaning

36:39.560 --> 36:40.560
in genes

36:40.560 --> 36:41.560
in words

36:41.560 --> 36:42.560
in architectonic

36:42.560 --> 36:43.560
productions

36:43.560 --> 36:44.560
in poetry

36:44.560 --> 36:45.560
what is happening

36:45.560 --> 36:46.560
on this planet

36:46.560 --> 36:47.560
is the

36:47.560 --> 36:48.560
self reflecting

36:48.560 --> 36:49.560
energy

36:49.560 --> 36:50.560
that is

36:50.560 --> 36:51.560
being produced

36:51.560 --> 36:52.560
on this planet

36:52.560 --> 36:53.560
is the

36:53.560 --> 36:54.560
self reflecting

36:54.560 --> 36:55.560
energy

36:55.560 --> 36:56.560
that is

36:56.560 --> 36:57.560
being produced

36:57.560 --> 36:58.560
on this planet

36:58.560 --> 36:59.560
is the

36:59.560 --> 37:00.560
genesis

37:00.560 --> 37:01.560
of communication

37:01.560 --> 37:02.560
for itself

37:02.560 --> 37:03.560
it is language

37:03.560 --> 37:04.560
somehow

37:04.560 --> 37:05.560
that is loose

37:05.560 --> 37:06.560
in our species

37:06.560 --> 37:07.560
on our planet

37:07.560 --> 37:08.560
within and

37:08.560 --> 37:09.560
without

37:09.560 --> 37:10.560
the flying saucer

37:10.560 --> 37:11.560
so

37:11.560 --> 37:12.560
communication

37:12.560 --> 37:13.560
which we take

37:13.560 --> 37:14.560
astonishingly

37:14.560 --> 37:15.560
for granted

37:15.560 --> 37:16.560
considering

37:16.560 --> 37:17.560
the very

37:17.560 --> 37:18.560
basic

37:18.560 --> 37:19.560
kinds of

37:19.560 --> 37:20.560
needs

37:20.560 --> 37:21.560
that we communicate

37:21.560 --> 37:22.560
to each other

37:22.560 --> 37:23.560
is actually

37:23.560 --> 37:24.560
the great

37:24.560 --> 37:25.560
frontier

37:25.560 --> 37:26.560
of our

37:26.560 --> 37:27.560
spiritual

37:27.560 --> 37:28.560
becoming

37:28.560 --> 37:29.560
it seems to have

37:29.560 --> 37:30.560
passed right

37:30.560 --> 37:31.560
by us

37:31.560 --> 37:32.560
that we already

37:32.560 --> 37:33.560
possess

37:33.560 --> 37:34.560
a form

37:34.560 --> 37:35.560
of telepathy

37:35.560 --> 37:36.560
the

37:36.560 --> 37:37.560
the

37:37.560 --> 37:38.560
miracle

37:38.560 --> 37:39.560
of communication

37:39.560 --> 37:40.560
involves the

37:40.560 --> 37:41.560
fact that

37:41.560 --> 37:42.560
I make small

37:42.560 --> 37:43.560
mouth noises

37:43.560 --> 37:44.560
and you

37:44.560 --> 37:45.560
instantaneously

37:45.560 --> 37:46.560
consult

37:46.560 --> 37:47.560
the

37:47.560 --> 37:48.560
culturally

37:48.560 --> 37:49.560
sanctioned

37:49.560 --> 37:50.560
dictionary

37:50.560 --> 37:51.560
and out

37:51.560 --> 37:52.560
of your

37:52.560 --> 37:53.560
dictionary

37:53.560 --> 37:54.560
you construct

37:54.560 --> 37:55.560
a map

37:55.560 --> 37:56.560
of my

37:56.560 --> 37:57.560
linguistic

37:57.560 --> 37:58.560
and then

37:58.560 --> 37:59.560
through a series

37:59.560 --> 38:00.560
of grunts

38:00.560 --> 38:01.560
and nods

38:01.560 --> 38:02.560
we assure

38:02.560 --> 38:03.560
each other

38:03.560 --> 38:04.560
that we know

38:04.560 --> 38:05.560
what we mean

38:05.560 --> 38:06.560
so

38:06.560 --> 38:07.560
in a sense

38:07.560 --> 38:08.560
the

38:08.560 --> 38:09.560
I said

38:09.560 --> 38:10.560
this afternoon

38:10.560 --> 38:11.560
that the UFO

38:11.560 --> 38:12.560
was here

38:12.560 --> 38:13.560
to confound

38:13.560 --> 38:14.560
us

38:14.560 --> 38:15.560
to confound

38:15.560 --> 38:16.560
science

38:16.560 --> 38:17.560
on another

38:17.560 --> 38:18.560
level

38:18.560 --> 38:19.560
like

38:19.560 --> 38:20.560
the psychedelics

38:20.560 --> 38:21.560
it is here

38:21.560 --> 38:22.560
to catalyze

38:22.560 --> 38:23.560
a finer

38:23.560 --> 38:24.560
evolution

38:24.560 --> 38:26.560
of communication

38:26.560 --> 38:27.560
to

38:27.560 --> 38:28.560
connect

38:28.560 --> 38:29.560
us

38:29.560 --> 38:30.560
to

38:30.560 --> 38:31.560
a

38:31.560 --> 38:32.560
little

38:32.560 --> 38:33.560
tighter

38:33.560 --> 38:34.560
epistemic

38:34.560 --> 38:35.560
and ontological

38:35.560 --> 38:36.560
definition

38:36.560 --> 38:37.560
of the

38:37.560 --> 38:38.560
business

38:38.560 --> 38:39.560
of communicating

38:39.560 --> 38:40.560
with each

38:40.560 --> 38:41.560
other

38:41.560 --> 38:42.560
if

38:42.560 --> 38:43.560
we could

38:43.560 --> 38:44.560
refine

38:44.560 --> 38:45.560
our channels

38:45.560 --> 38:46.560
of communication

38:46.560 --> 38:47.560
we would

38:47.560 --> 38:48.560
coalesce

38:48.560 --> 38:49.560
into the

38:49.560 --> 38:50.560
kind of

38:50.560 --> 38:51.560
omnipotent

38:51.560 --> 38:52.560
extra

38:52.560 --> 38:53.560
worldly

38:53.560 --> 38:54.560
organism

38:54.560 --> 38:55.560
that we

38:55.560 --> 38:56.560
anticipate

38:56.560 --> 38:57.560
in our

38:57.560 --> 38:58.560
lives

38:58.560 --> 38:59.560
to become

38:59.560 --> 39:00.560
the guiding

39:00.560 --> 39:01.560
image

39:01.560 --> 39:02.560
of our own

39:02.560 --> 39:03.560
cultural

39:03.560 --> 39:04.560
evolution

39:04.560 --> 39:05.560
we are going

39:05.560 --> 39:06.560
to live

39:06.560 --> 39:07.560
in the

39:07.560 --> 39:08.560
imagination

39:08.560 --> 39:09.560
this planet

39:09.560 --> 39:10.560
is involved

39:10.560 --> 39:11.560
in a

39:11.560 --> 39:12.560
birth

39:12.560 --> 39:13.560
process

39:13.560 --> 39:14.560
there is

39:14.560 --> 39:15.560
nothing

39:15.560 --> 39:16.560
unnatural

39:16.560 --> 39:17.560
about what

39:17.560 --> 39:18.560
is going

39:18.560 --> 39:19.560
on

39:19.560 --> 39:20.560
on this

39:20.560 --> 39:21.560
planet

39:21.560 --> 39:22.560
and there

39:22.560 --> 39:23.560
is nothing

39:23.560 --> 39:24.560
unnatural

39:24.560 --> 39:25.560
or inappropriate

39:25.560 --> 39:26.560
about us

39:26.560 --> 39:27.560
we are now

39:27.560 --> 39:28.560
ready to

39:28.560 --> 39:29.560
leave the

39:29.560 --> 39:30.560
womb

39:30.560 --> 39:31.560
and the

39:31.560 --> 39:32.560
womb is

39:32.560 --> 39:33.560
in danger

39:33.560 --> 39:34.560
of toxemia

39:34.560 --> 39:35.560
if we in fact

39:35.560 --> 39:36.560
do not leave

39:36.560 --> 39:37.560
it

39:37.560 --> 39:38.560
we have passed

39:38.560 --> 39:39.560
into a new

39:39.560 --> 39:40.560
kind of

39:40.560 --> 39:41.560
time

39:41.560 --> 39:42.560
where the

39:42.560 --> 39:43.560
separation

39:43.560 --> 39:44.560
of our

39:44.560 --> 39:45.560
species

39:45.560 --> 39:46.560
from the

39:46.560 --> 39:47.560
planet that

39:47.560 --> 39:48.560
gave us

39:48.560 --> 39:49.560
birth

39:49.560 --> 39:50.560
is a necessity

39:50.560 --> 39:51.560
for the

39:51.560 --> 39:52.560
survival

39:52.560 --> 39:53.560
of both

39:53.560 --> 39:54.560
parties

39:54.560 --> 39:55.560
and like

39:55.560 --> 39:56.560
any birth

39:56.560 --> 39:57.560
and perhaps

39:57.560 --> 39:58.560
the saucers

39:58.560 --> 39:59.560
stand off

39:59.560 --> 40:00.560
to perform

40:00.560 --> 40:01.560
a necessary

40:01.560 --> 40:02.560
cesarean

40:02.560 --> 40:03.560
if things

40:03.560 --> 40:04.560
really turn

40:04.560 --> 40:05.560
into chaos

40:05.560 --> 40:06.560
many contactees

40:06.560 --> 40:07.560
report

40:07.560 --> 40:08.560
an apocalyptic

40:08.560 --> 40:09.560
scenario

40:09.560 --> 40:10.560
involving

40:10.560 --> 40:11.560
the saucers

40:11.560 --> 40:12.560
taking everybody

40:12.560 --> 40:13.560
away

40:13.560 --> 40:14.560
in the wake

40:14.560 --> 40:15.560
or in the

40:15.560 --> 40:16.560
eminence

40:16.560 --> 40:17.560
of a

40:17.560 --> 40:18.560
thermonuclear

40:18.560 --> 40:19.560
exchange

40:19.560 --> 40:20.560
however

40:20.560 --> 40:21.560
the mature

40:21.560 --> 40:22.560
way

40:22.560 --> 40:23.560
the

40:23.560 --> 40:24.560
self

40:24.560 --> 40:25.560
reflective

40:25.560 --> 40:26.560
way

40:26.560 --> 40:27.560
out of

40:27.560 --> 40:28.560
this cultural

40:28.560 --> 40:29.560
impasse

40:29.560 --> 40:30.560
out of this

40:30.560 --> 40:31.560
global

40:31.560 --> 40:32.560
stand off

40:32.560 --> 40:33.560
is for us

40:33.560 --> 40:34.560
to take

40:34.560 --> 40:35.560
seriously

40:35.560 --> 40:36.560
on a personal

40:36.560 --> 40:37.560
level

40:37.560 --> 40:38.560
the possibility

40:38.560 --> 40:39.560
of evolving

40:39.560 --> 40:40.560
our communications

40:40.560 --> 40:41.560
with each

40:41.560 --> 40:42.560
other

40:42.560 --> 40:43.560
so that we

40:43.560 --> 40:44.560
actually

40:44.560 --> 40:45.560
become

40:45.560 --> 40:46.560
the loving

40:46.560 --> 40:47.560
family of

40:47.560 --> 40:48.560
the goddess

40:48.560 --> 40:49.560
the planetary

40:49.560 --> 40:50.560
organism

40:50.560 --> 40:51.560
that we all

40:51.560 --> 40:52.560
feel

40:52.560 --> 40:53.560
ahead of us

40:53.560 --> 40:54.560
in the future

40:54.560 --> 40:55.560
casting

40:55.560 --> 40:56.560
an enormous

40:56.560 --> 40:57.560
shadow

40:57.560 --> 40:58.560
back over

40:58.560 --> 40:59.560
the historical

40:59.560 --> 41:00.560
landscape

41:00.560 --> 41:01.560
eventually

41:01.560 --> 41:02.560
and when

41:02.560 --> 41:03.560
is up

41:03.560 --> 41:04.560
to us

41:04.560 --> 41:05.560
it will

41:05.560 --> 41:06.560
no longer

41:06.560 --> 41:07.560
be

41:07.560 --> 41:08.560
a higher

41:08.560 --> 41:09.560
dimensional

41:09.560 --> 41:10.560
object

41:10.560 --> 41:11.560
throwing

41:11.560 --> 41:12.560
a shadow

41:12.560 --> 41:13.560
into the

41:13.560 --> 41:14.560
flat

41:14.560 --> 41:15.560
dimensions

41:15.560 --> 41:16.560
of history

41:16.560 --> 41:17.560
it will

41:17.560 --> 41:18.560
be instead

41:18.560 --> 41:19.560
a transcendental

41:19.560 --> 41:20.560
object

41:20.560 --> 41:21.560
made manifest

41:21.560 --> 41:22.560
we are

41:22.560 --> 41:23.560
in fact

41:23.560 --> 41:24.560
on the

41:24.560 --> 41:25.560
brink

41:25.560 --> 41:26.560
of great

41:26.560 --> 41:27.560
evolution

41:27.560 --> 41:28.560
for hundreds

41:28.560 --> 41:29.560
of thousands

41:29.560 --> 41:30.560
of years

41:30.560 --> 41:31.560
possibly

41:31.560 --> 41:32.560
but nevertheless

41:32.560 --> 41:33.560
it is

41:33.560 --> 41:34.560
somehow

41:34.560 --> 41:35.560
spun in

41:35.560 --> 41:36.560
to the fate

41:36.560 --> 41:37.560
of our species

41:37.560 --> 41:38.560
and the

41:38.560 --> 41:39.560
overwhelming

41:39.560 --> 41:40.560
image

41:40.560 --> 41:41.560
of self

41:41.560 --> 41:42.560
transcendent

41:42.560 --> 41:43.560
flight

41:43.560 --> 41:44.560
of return

41:44.560 --> 41:45.560
to a

41:45.560 --> 41:46.560
mandalic

41:46.560 --> 41:47.560
unity

41:47.560 --> 41:48.560
that transcends

41:48.560 --> 41:49.560
space

41:49.560 --> 41:50.560
and time

41:50.560 --> 41:51.560
is the guiding

41:51.560 --> 41:52.560
archetype

41:52.560 --> 41:53.560
of our

41:53.560 --> 41:54.560
paragrammation

41:54.560 --> 41:55.560
through history

41:55.560 --> 41:56.560
so I believe

41:56.560 --> 41:57.560
that we

41:57.560 --> 41:58.560
are

41:58.560 --> 41:59.560
in the

41:59.560 --> 42:00.560
same

42:00.560 --> 42:01.560
way

42:01.560 --> 42:02.560
that the

42:02.560 --> 42:03.560
individuated

42:03.560 --> 42:04.560
personality

42:04.560 --> 42:05.560
waits

42:05.560 --> 42:06.560
at the

42:06.560 --> 42:07.560
end

42:07.560 --> 42:08.560
of the

42:08.560 --> 42:09.560
ontological

42:09.560 --> 42:10.560
development

42:10.560 --> 42:11.560
of the

42:11.560 --> 42:12.560
individual

42:12.560 --> 42:13.560
and if

42:13.560 --> 42:14.560
we act

42:14.560 --> 42:15.560
in good

42:15.560 --> 42:16.560
conscience

42:16.560 --> 42:17.560
and with

42:17.560 --> 42:18.560
great faith

42:18.560 --> 42:19.560
in each

42:19.560 --> 42:20.560
other

42:20.560 --> 42:21.560
we can

42:21.560 --> 42:22.560
in fact

42:22.560 --> 42:23.560
realize

42:23.560 --> 42:24.560
the hope

42:24.560 --> 42:25.560
of the

42:25.560 --> 42:26.560
Irish prayer
