probably worth mentioning that Hunt for the Skinwalker asserts that meditation seems to provoke or trigger or otherwise draw out the phenomenon im drawing a blank on which major UFO magazine from back in the day also published a mantra and a date and time to meditate on it

Telepathy and meditation is where this all starts to get a bit too 70s new agey cult for my tastes Maybe that's a fault of mine but I don't think you're going to get a post-enlightenment society on board with that without some pretty strong evidence

It feels like I'm in an early Fringe episode where Olivia and Peter are still skeptical despite working everyday with a mad scientist.

Seems like nothing is gonna happen with this topic for a while and I'm hoping my level of obsession dies down soon. I'm hearing an increasing frequency of Bigfoot mentions when trying to find new, recent UAP material to listen to.

It feels like I'm in an early Fringe episode where Olivia and Peter are still skeptical despite working everyday with a mad scientist. at least Von Neumann probes work within a physical framework. I feel the same, meditation and psychic outreach crosses the threshold of plausibility for me though I can’t 100% discount it as a marginal possibility

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Telepathy and meditation is where this all starts to get a bit too 70s new agey cult for my tastes It makes some sense when you consider that modern UFO culture has a direct throughline all the way back to theosophy and spiritualism from the early 20th century. George Adamski is probably the most well known example, but there's a bunch of others when you look into the backgrounds of the big players of the 1950s.

I think the psychic stuff is just like one set of assumptions too far for me. Like sure, aliens are real I can take that, or there's some dimensional poo poo going on or whatever but then add another layer on top of that that humans have latent psychic abilities and we're kinda straying from Occam's razor even more than the first assumption I don't see what it brings

Something like that would make all the born-again general staff scream DEMONS! MAGIC! We know nothing and I don't know when that will change.

Yeah, I'm not into the psychic stuff either, but it's definitely a major strain in UFOlogy going back to the very beginning. It shows up in other High Strangeness areas as well. Like, there's a split between Bigfoot folks where some think that it's strictly just an undiscovered species that we just haven't found living or dead yet, and there's others that think Bigfoot is something spiritual and/or interdimesional. UFOs definitely have the same split.

GWBBQ posted:the nutcase billionaire, grifting for 8 figure defense contracts. You're talking about Bigelow, right? Bigelow has an aerospace company that already has a contract with NASA to provide inflatable space station modules. One of them is up there right now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigelow_Expandable_Activity_Module). So he already has a pipeline to the sweet government contracts and lots of money, that has nothing to do with UFOs. Why potentially gently caress that up with fake UFO garbage that makes half the people in the government think you're crazy? Not saying its impossible, it just doesn't seem to make much sense. GWBBQ posted:UFOs/UAPs are solidly in the realm of "it's not the cameras, bigfoot is just blurry." what the hell are you talking about lol did multiple governments just state that bigfoot is real, the way that they did for UFOs, or am i missing something was bigfoot seen by multiple fighter pilots at the same time and videotaped with a fancy infrared camera and locked onto by multiple radars lol

Azathoth posted:probably worth mentioning that Hunt for the Skinwalker asserts that meditation seems to provoke or trigger or otherwise draw out the phenomenon yeah i remember hearing about that, several years ago. The incident i remember is from before the place was bought by the TV show nerds (so the 90s or 2000s i guess?), and it involved some hippie dude who heard about all the weird poo poo happening to the ranch owners, so he was like "im gonna go there and meditate, and see what happens." And the story goes, that a few minutes after he started, an invisible force seemed to get really mad and charged out of the brush towards him and roared at him, and he poo poo his pants and ran away and never went back lol

It feels like I'm in an early Fringe episode where Olivia and Peter are still skeptical despite working everyday with a mad scientist. That's probably because the only obstacle to a Von Neumann is complexity (and same with most other spacecraft theories). It's just a machine that can build more of itself. The various New Age beliefs would require a radical re-invention of known physics if true. Also doesn't help that the people who really believe in it are usually some variation of burnt out Boomer, weedlord, or psychonaut, which comes with attendant credibility issues.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I think the psychic stuff is just like one set of assumptions too far for me. i like speculating about insane sounding poo poo like the psychic stuff. for example, brains are basically biological computers, with all these electrical impulses firing all over the place nonstop. Who knows what may or may not be possible if you have the ability to gently caress with those electrical impulses in a highly advanced way. Especially if there's crazy quantum poo poo involved or something. and then you can get extra insane with the theories.. like, what if consciousness is actually a physical thing. Like, energy or something. What if there's a parallel universe where various energy beings live, where all "matter" is just like, electricity or whatever. What if its possible for some of these inscrutable energy beings to concentrate about goatse so hard, that they can then pass into a parallel dimension and see whats going on? What if the process of evolution here on earth didn't simply create the brain as we know it, but created a brain that is actually some kind of ultra advanced quantum computer that somehow taps into this alternate dimension and traps some of that energy inside of it...bam, now ur meat bag has consciousness, displaced into this fantastic universe of meat and big rocks and stuff. And when u die, the energy gets released from the brain again. or what if all living beings in this universe are actually imprisoned energy beings in the alternate universe, and this is like a meat Matrix. lol

Rah! posted:yeah i remember hearing about that, several years ago. That one is from the Hunt for the Skinwalker book. Some hippy dude who shows up one day and convinces Terry Sherman to take him out and let him meditate on the property. They drive around until the hippy says stop and then he gets out and sits down and starts meditating, and very quickly something that looks exactly like the camouflaged Predator from the Predator movie series charges out of the trees. Before Terry can warn the guy, it basically animal roars right in the hippy dude's face, which prompts the dude to beg Terry to drive him back to his vehicle, after which he flees the ranch. Real Trickster God poo poo. One thing to remember about Hunt for the Skinwalker is that George Knapp said a while after publication that some of the stories in the book were not exact retellings, though he maintains that everything they say happened in the book did actually happen in real life. And that's beyond him just getting the stories secondhand. I'll buy that all the elements there happened at some point. Random dudes hear about the place and show up wanting to see it. Some of them want to meditate there. Meditation seems to make poo poo happen. One time when someone was meditating there, they got freaked the gently caress out by something. Sometimes folks see The Predator. Whether they all happen at the same time is an open question.

I watched Bigelow on the jre pod and it's clear he's a True Believer and from his POV it's not a scam imho. Not sure about the people he is surrounded by (NIDS etc), they are probably on the scam side but who knows. The habitat work is just a less absurd outcome of the same fascination he has with space development.

Wasn't there some trippy CIA document or something about methods for meditating along with pre-recorded tapes in order to break through reality or something? I remember that it had diagrams showing the human body surrounded by bent fields of reality and whatnot. trying to google it but not finding anything... edit: found it! https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf Polo-Rican has issued a correction as of 18:00 on Jul 14, 2021 |
