it turns out psychedelics are a “bad” (not as good) since you come down all the time. you can trip all the time without drugs which is great

https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/12mc6s4/a_ufo_woo_primer_for_skeptics_believers_and/

A UFO Woo Primer for skeptics, believers, and everyone in between

(Submission Statemenr: I believe this is relevant to this subreddit because of statements such as the one from Garry Nolan recently stating “the woo is just around the corner”.)

When people talk about Woo I frequently see people asking what “woo” means. Even the people who’ve been around for a while talk generically about woo without a lot of detail, whether they’re open to it or not.

Let me start by establishing some of my Woo credentials:

I’m a moderator on the Experiencers subreddit, and was an active member of The Experiencers Group since its inception.

I have a large pile of personal circumstantial evidence supportive of alien abduction (in many ways I feel like a poster boy for it because I have experience with so many of the common things people talk about, including psi, health effects, etc). This includes confirmation from a former top CIA remote viewer, hypnotic regressions with Stuart Davis, copious correlations, and stacks of medical records.

I’ve personally experimented with, experienced, and documented a lot of paranormal phenomenon, including remote viewing, mediumship, and EVP.

This post isn’t here to persuade anybody that woo is real, or demonstrate the evidence for the woo. It’s not hard to find if you actively look for it. This post is simply to give an understanding of what it means within Ufology when most people talk about woo.

I tried to break it down to 10 core components which I believe have general agreement among Woo believers:

Psi is real. All of it. Telepathy, remote viewing, psychokinesis (rare for it to be more than a weak effect, but measured), you name it. Tested, replicated, and peer reviewed, but in the end it’s poorly understood. Parapsychologists have determined that whatever it is it doesn’t behave like normal energy: It doesn’t fall off with distance, the signal can’t be blocked by any normal means (such as a Faraday cage), and it isn’t limited by time.

A broad spectrum of the phenomena occupies a realm outside of our physical time and space. Some people call it another dimension, some people call it a shadow biome, etc.

We are not just talking about aliens from another planet. That may be a small part of it, but it is not reflective of the phenomena as a whole. There are myriad types of non-human intelligence, and the so-called aliens (Grays, Mantids, etc) are just a few of them. It also includes things like shadow beings, cryptids, and even spirits.

Speaking of which, a significant part of the woo involves consciousness not being tied to the physical body. This includes concepts like life after death, astral projection, and reincarnation.

Materialism, the current scientific paradigm, is not correct. Our reality may be something more like Conscious Realism, as proposed by Dr. Donald Hoffman. In effect, it’s ontological Idealism. Whether that is also true for these other realms is not clear.

It is possible for many people to communicate with non-human intelligence via consciousness through methods like channeling.

The contact and abduction phenomenon are real, but heavily relies on this interaction of consciousness. Therefore, the things that happen during these events are often experienced more like dreams than like physical events—however the evidence indicates that there is a physical component.

Some people are more easily able to interact with the phenomena. It is also noted that people who do so tend to also be more skilled with psi ability. The connection here is somewhat of a chicken/egg situation, and it is not clear what the dynamic is. There appears to be a genetic component.

Some beings in the phenomena exhibit an apparent ability to manifest physical objects in our realm purely via consciousness.

It is very likely that groups within the government know far more about all of these topics then they are letting on. They have been actively discrediting all of it due to the potential harm to societal power structures.

Those are the broad strokes. Within the various Experiencer communities, I believe most of what I mentioned above is uncontroversial and widely accepted. The primary sticking point is probably the mix between physical abduction and psychological abduction due to the physical effects that some abductees report, especially women who claim to have suffered reproductive harm due to these interactions (obviously you can’t suffer physical harm from an abduction of your consciousness—or can you?).

I claim that I have had first-hand experience with many of the things I listed above, to the point where I have very strong confidence in its existence. I am much less confident about the nature of it, however—for example, it could all be explained as if we are living in some type of simulation.

When you add all of these things together, what you end up with is a situation where for people who are having contact with the phenomenon the rules for what can happen go out the window. Materialism is irrelevant, and the subconscious takes the driver’s seat. That doesn’t make it all imagination, however. It’s…complicated.

I didn’t develop any of these core theories. I listened to the scientists, experts, and testimonials; then compared it with my own personal experience, and this is where I landed. We know there are people like /u/garryjpnolan_prime on this subreddit, and maybe they’ll respond and tell me I’m way off base.

Again, I’m not here to persuade anyone of the Woo. I just thought it would be helpful to try and offer a concise explanation for what the woo entails. Other Experiencers likely have plenty more to offer on this topic, and I hope they do so in the comments if this posts gets any traction.

So off topic it's more apparent in the longer cut of the song but the vnv nation track that was posted before riffs from "adagio for strings" in both minor key and in other interesting choices to obscure the riffing. I know because I couldn't stop listening to it over and over. Song slaps.
