watching the hearing was incredible and it rekindled my interest in UFOs and trans-dimensional anomalies/astral projection - is there a primer somewhere of resources I could use to learn more about either of these topics????????? I'd like to try astral projection

I've tried the gateway experience and haven't yet gotten anything from it, the one oobe session I've got the most out of is one of the techniques taught by William buhlman in this:

https://www.monroeinstitute.org/products/out-of-body-techniques-by-william-buhlman?_pos=1&_sid=15f43e503&_ss=r&variant=45019252916541

I can't remember the name of the technique but he talks you into relaxing and then really imagining you are somewhere else which you can easily see, touch and so on.

I repeated it for a few nights and then during one session had the sudden experience that I'd been tipped backwards out of bed (head shooting down, feet shooting up)

The shock of it immediately jolted me wide awake as in "holy poo poo something happened".

I tried a few times after and had no luck but keep meaning to go back and try again. I think the problem is i get my expectations too high each time rather than just relaxing and going with the flow.


Edit: it's the target technique.

You don't need weird outlandish conspiracies about whether the world is ready or whatever, literally just basic historical materialist analysis.

Could also be argued the other way around, imho - sitting on those findings and putting a lid in the hopes to collect all the advantages with a breakthrough. However, turns out alien tech isnt videogame research points (I am lmaoing as I am typing this poo poo) and there weren’t even starting points of reference to consider how to approach

Decades pass, nothing of the expected happens, China has successfully broke hegemony etc, the people who are sitting on it have not delivered much and got billions; a bunch of material circumstances emerge for people within the hegemon to try for a hail mary that might turns things around

Like someone posted earlier, suddenly someone(s) autistic enough to be really competent and hold their ideals sincerely against the façade of empire is a thing that happened, which is an evidence of the declining empire and increasing self-destructive friction by its ruling classes

I think part of the real reason this was originally hidden so well was cold war fears and we are still getting over the cold war hangover in regards to this stuff.

Like if it had been revealed at the height of the cold war the US had alien technology and was working to reverse engineer it there is every possibility the other side makes a calculation that they need to put a stop to that by whatever means necessary before the US achieves a breakthrough. At the very least the natsec people in the US would have been extremely concerned that's the conclusion the other side would come too. You can't even risk letting the USSR find out we have alien tech or they might first strike us to prevent us from leapfrogging them so far we could wipe them out in seconds with no possibility of stopping us.

I would imagine that is still a concern for the non-disclosure side. They absolutely think Putin or Xi might do something drastic if they let this get out so they are doing everything they can to keep a lid on it, but unfortunately for them the cats out of the bag it's only a matter of time.

All the reddit normals are acting like Grusch is just some run of the mill kook that got pulled in off the street. With his credentials he's either a super elaborate op for reasons or he's completely insane and managing to pass for just a nerdly intel officer. For people who pride themselves on rationality there's no other rational explanation. If he starts a ufo video reaction channel on Youtube I reserve the right to take that back.

We're all just part of the universal consciousness whether you call it Brahman or the Pleroma or the Luminous Void or whatever, RB is right you can find it if you go looking. The fun starts if you consider that everything is part of the universal consciousness including the table, Dave Grusch, and the "reserved for witness" sign on the chair.

But it's out of print, and costs a bundle now, and doesn't appear to be on Archive.org. Patches that have gotten out, but the programs they're attached to are still classified.

Anyone have a good link to the Vatican and Italian crash documents?

CNN finally did a piece on it: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/26/politics/ufo-house-hearing-congress/index.html

But it feels like their hand was forced into reporting, and they're essentially framing it as alarmist paranoia/foreign technology:

quote:

The government characterizes the unexplained sightings as UAPs and has released reports on the cases in recent years. Some of them still have not been explained, while others have been attributed to “balloon or balloon-entities,” as well as drones, birds, weather events or airborne debris like plastic bags.

quote:

No government officials testified at Wednesday’s hearing. In April, Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which Congress created to focus on UAPs, told a Senate subcommittee the US government was tracking 650 potential cases of unidentified aerial phenomena, playing video from two of the episodes. Kirkpatrick emphasized there was no evidence of extraterrestrial life and that his office found “no credible evidence” of objects that defy the known laws of physics.

NYT did a piece as well which is more even-handed but seriously lacking in detail and depth: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/26/us/politics/ufo-hearing.html
