We continue our exploration of the bigger picture in this second part of our Ask the Panel question.

If you haven't read part one yet, please do: The Bigger Picture.

In part two, Denise Stoner and Rebecca Hardcastle Wright explore consciousness aspects of the bigger picture.

Denise Stoner

The picture as a whole might include reincarnation, subtle realms, and a conscious connection that perhaps ties these together in ways that we are just beginning to look at. If we ask people what their thoughts are on the subject, the various responses are so different from one another that connecting the dots in an attempt to join this subject matter together seems impossible. How do we bridge the gap? I have spent a great deal of time looking for ways to sort this out so the puzzle goes together smoothly. I find much more comes into play. Many branches of each segment can be added such as Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Experiences.  Where do they fit into the picture? Are they subtypes of the main trunk or can they stand alone.  Still, the differences in thoughts may just spread the distances even further.  Some of these areas send us spiraling into a place of more and more questions as the floor drops out from under us and we drift into this unknown territory.  I have chosen a few statements, thoughts, and ideas from both friends and suggested study then tossed in a few comments of my own.  This could have been a novel as the sources of information and discussions are literally unending. I believe they all do culminate in one huge stepping off point where the search continues.  I have attempted to define some of the main thoughts on the matter beginning with a statement made by a friend, psychologist, and very intellectual individual. I must give credit to Melanie Barton, LCSW, Ed.D  for giving us some food for thought. She writes:

Introduction

Manuel Lamiroy

The contact phenomenon does not fit well within the current paradigm. It presents us with plenty of anomalies that challenge our current scientific understanding of reality. In the past, we have dedicated articles here on JAR Magazine to temporal anomalies, to astral encounters, to the PSI factor, etc., and how all of these anomalies contribute to a need for redefining reality. A bigger picture is needed if we want to begin to understand what is going on. The question then is what that bigger picture looks like. What does it include? For myself, e.g., it includes the consciousness connection, and all that that implies, like subtle realms, with subtle matter and subtle energy. I have come across plenty of cases where contactees mention reincarnation, on Earth and on other worlds. Some claim they even know their contacts from previous lifetimes. So, we asked our panel to share their views on this bigger picture.

In part 1,

  • Bill Konkolesky points out why this bigger picture is needed. He confirms how little we know about these visitors, and how even the most basic questions remain unanswered.
  • Giorgio Piacenza’s bigger picture involves consciousness and the metaphysical on top of the physical. He rightfully reminds us that understanding the bigger picture requires a change in thinking. It must transcend materialism and include aspects that are psychic, paranormal and spiritual.
  • Thomas Minderlé does an excellent job in summarizing five key aspects that comprise a bigger-picture-understanding. of the alien presence. They are quantum, paraphysical, psychic, hyper-historical, and spiritual aspects. This is a must-read article.

In part two, we explore some consciousness aspects of the bigger picture: The Bigger Picture Part 2.

  • Denise Stoner looks at how things like past lives and reincarnation, out of body and near death experiences relate to the contact phenomenon.
  • Rebecca Hardcastle Wright looks at four strands, braided together in this bigger picture. They are material science, transhumanism, exoconscious humans, and cosmic shifts.

In recent years, there are numerous UFO/ET encounter cases happened in China and gradually captured more public attention. One of the UFO/ET cases was reported by a retired Chinese solider who witnessed a UFO crash on the ground of his military complex in Shanxi Province in 1997. This case captured much public attention due to the sensitivity of the crash location, a military complex, and two injured aliens who were found alive at the time of the crash.

One summer night in 1997, when Wei was serving as a soldier at 28th Army in Datong, Shanxi Province, he witnessed a flying saucer crash into the courtyard of his army camp. He quickly ran to the scene and surprisingly discovered an unidentified saucer crashed in the trees. The UFO looked like it was the same size as a satellite dish, silvery white in color. Wei estimated that the UFO was approximately two meters high and six meters wide. ‘There wasn’t any obvious damage on the surface of the UFO,’ said Wei. This may suggest that the UFO is unlikely to have been shot down by Chinese military. Wei thinks that the crashed UFO may have experienced a malfunction due to weather conditions because it was a rainy night with thunderstorms. It possibly that the UFO was hit by lightning.

Author: anonymous Chinese contact modalities researcher

1. INTRODUCTION

The Writer is a ufology enthusiast from China and previously had various vehicles for sharing and discussing ufology and spiritual information with Chinese viewers. The following article summarizes the Writer's insights about Chinese ufology and the Chinese spiritual communities. The writer will also discuss how the Chinese community is changing in their views as to what the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (“CCRI”)calls the “Paranormal Contact Modalities”, which are all of the ways that humans are “piercing the veil” of their 3D reality and having diverse contact experiences with non-human intelligence (NHI)via Near Death Experiences, Out of Body Experiences, UFOs, Ghosts/Spirits, Remote Viewing, Hallucinogenic Contact Experiences, Channeling, ESP/PSI, etc.

2. CHINESE UFOLOGY

China voted yes to Ufology at UN meetings

China was in support of United Nations ufology research. In 1978, the United Nations adopted decisions A/DEC/32/424 and A/DEC/33/426which called for the "establishment of an agency or a department of the United Nations for undertaking, coordinating and dissembling the results of research into unidentified flying objects and related phenomena." China, as one of the permanent members of the UN, voted in favor of the resolution. Immediately after the UN resolution was passed, various UFO associations were established worldwide, researching, and investigating the UFO phenomenon, including a few Chinese UFO institutions established in both private and quasi-governmental forms.

Chinese government attitudes towards ufology, ESP and spirituality studies

Despite the fact that China voted "Yes" to the above UN resolutions, it did not necessarily reflect the government's attitude towards ufology, parapsychology, and spirituality studies. The early 90s was the golden period of Chinese spirituality. The study of Qi Gong had taken off and gained much public interest. Qi Gong is a form of Chinese healing and physical strengthening technique with thousands of years of history, involving different exercises and meditations. A growing number of Qi Gong classes and centers had emerged across China as an alternative to yoga or tai chi.

One of the more intriguing aspects of the contact phenomenon is that many encounters do not happen in a 3D physical environment. They happen in altered states and/or non-physical or subtle realms. For lack of a better word, these encounters are usually referred to as astral encounters.

One fascinating account comes to mind where a contactee suddenly felt he had to sit down, and described a bilocation / out of body experience where he was simultaneously in a living room and aboard a ship. He described what was happening on the ship. And when he said they were using some laser-like device on his arm, red laserlike dots appeared on his arm in the living room as well. The whole experience only took a few minutes, but raises many questions and once more challenges what we believe about what reality is.

We asked our panel for their thoughts. Both Bill Konkolesky and Denise Stoner share personal experiences, while Giorgio Piacenza dives into the concepts relating to astral / subtle realms.

Book Cover Forbidden Questions

The second edition of JAR editor Gwen Farrell's popular book, Forbidden Questions: A Therapist Talks About Human-ET Contact is available.

It is estimated that millions of people have had contact with extraterrestrial or other-worldly beings, but after millennia of history, decades of investigation and research, and nearly incontrovertible evidence that alien beings have visited Earth, we are still forbidden by society, religion, and science from openly asking questions and discussing this essential part of human history.

This book covers all aspects of the human-UFO contact phenomenon and has been called an encyclopedia of contact.

The author is a therapist, investigator and researcher who has worked many years with people who believe they have had contact with otherworldly beings.

If you are one of those individuals, if you think you might be, but aren't sure, or if you just want to know what's going on, you will find honest, straightforward answers, information, and humor in this fascinating book.

A few weeks ago, there was an informal survey on Twitter. It revealed that the majority of ufologists taking part in the #UFOTwitter discussions were convinced that all the answers regarding the UFO phenomenon could be found by analyzing UFOs. Which is quite baffling…

We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that some of these craft are intelligently operated. So, it would seem obvious that the focus should be on that intelligence that operates these craft. If we want to know, e.g., if they constitute a genuine threat, it is not the actual UFOs that we must pay attention to. Vehicles do not have intentions. Trying to understand the intelligent force or forces behind UFOs solely by observing UFOs, makes about as much sense as trying to understand humanity by observing cars.

Contact Experiences
Contact Experiences

And, of course, UFOs are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these intelligences that are engaging us. There is a whole array of different types of contact experiences, ranging from completely benevolent and beneficial to detrimentally brutal abductions. So, these would seem like a good place to start. Yet, they have been pooh-poohed for the last 70 years. To this day, most ufologists prefer to stay as far away from contact experiences as they can. And, as Mike Jamieson’s article illustrates, they have been giving the same impertinent excuses. It should be self-evident that we need to include contact experiences in our research if we want to understand the non-human intelligences we are dealing with.

It does not stop there. We have observed, both in contact experiences and in the ways that UFOs are operated, that they challenge our current understanding of reality. John Mack famously said we may have to refine our definitions of reality if we want to truly understand what is happening. JAR Magazine dedicated a series of articles to this: Series of Articles: Redefining Reality

Anybody who seriously studies this phenomenon inevitably must conclude that consciousness must be added to the equation, too. And that adds yet another dimension to the whole thing.

On Facebook, a contact experiencer recently commented that the current heavy focus on UAP while ignoring the other aspects does not constitute a limited disclosure. Instead, this is a hijacking of the narrative to deliberately steer it in a direction that benefits the Military, and away from the truth. Effectively, the current focus on UAP only turns the clock back by 70 years.

In the articles listed below, several authors from our panel explore different aspects of what was mentioned above.

By Mike Jamieson

A rise in recent years of the United States military (and with militaries elsewhere) experiencing encounters with UAPs has assured that this subject has begun it's escape from a toxic atmosphere polluted with the stifling and toxic "gasses" of ridicule and denial.  It's very interesting to watch this now unfold.  Recent polling by CBS News and then Pew both reveal that 51% of Americans feel some UFOs represent the presence of ET visitors, a jump from the 33% in a 2019 Gallup poll.

Concurrent with the news that began emerging in late December 2017, there has been a perceptible rise in #enduapsecrecy activism on what is now widely known as #ufotwitter.  All along there, a consensus has developed on a cautious approach where the "woo-woo" of high strangeness and the oz factor, and cases of close encounters of the third and fourth kind, are bypassed and ignored when trying to lobby the press and others to address this subject.  That of course is a sensible approach meant to skillfully draw in serious attention from influential public sectors.

UFO Contact
Close Encounters

This type of caution among students of UAPs, concerning close encounters with NHI associated with advanced technology beyond ours, are shuffled off to a small hidden room to be quietly examined, has a history which I will note key points from.

I was recently able to gauge in a limited way perspectives concerning this with an online poll for UFOTwitter, 32 voting.
Poll question:  "Why do ufologists avoid CE3 cases (in general)?"

  • Protect reputation: 21.9%
  • Cases not credible: 18.8%
  • Harms Ufology credibility: 37.5%
  • Other (explain): 21.9%

Responses in comments included some explanations:

"I love them.  I'm not saying every single one of these reports is legit but I refuse to believe that zero of them are."
"I think the CE3 cases are the most important to the world today!  We NEED to listen to them!"
"Andreasson, Walton, Pascagoula, and many others, but as it's always said--NO EVIDENCE.  Well, if you can provide evidence that you are a hot dog a week ago without planning it, let me know."
"Because they go through life wearing blinders."
"We don't ignore them.  There just aren't many credible cases."
"Hard to determine what to make of them."

Donald Keyhoe in his 1953 book "Flying Saucers From Outer Space" said he dismissed a letter sent to him from experiencers, a nurse and a salesman traveling a desert road recounted being abducted by "spacemen" because he saw that as an example of the "effect of certain news stories published since 1947".  [1]

Donald Keyhoe was associated with, and an early leader of the National Investigations Committee of Aerial Phenomena (NICAP).  In 1964 they published a large-volumed book edited by Richard Hall, "The UFO Evidence".

Exoconscious Humans: Why Consciousness is Integral to Understanding  the Visitors

By Rebecca Hardcastle Wright

In August of 2020, the Department of Defense established the UAP Task Force (UAPTF) with a mission to "improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena] UAPs. The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security."

This mission launched a project to understand UAPs as an expression of the Visitors by gathering information on their craft and behavior. UAPTF is a scientific study of the Visitor's craft, an arm's length, objective, nuts and bolts enterprise. It is information-driven using advanced technology (satellites, radar, aircraft) and massive data centers to collect and store information. From this information, technicians will develop algorithms to categorize, catalog, and discriminate data and form UAP prediction scenarios using artificial intuition (an advanced form of AI, machine learning).

From the UAP data, engineers will create new materials, crafts, and propulsion systems. These new materials and systems, which are tested by engineers, if promising, will be launched as startups (joint ventures of government-intelligence-military-corporations) to scale this new technology and mainstream its use. A majority of these inventions will serve the space sector for research, mining (rare minerals to sustain the AI sector) , defense, manufacturing, and data storage (satellite Central Bank Digital Currency platforms).

Sunset

In a nutshell, this is how UAP material science works. It is why the UAPTF report appears as technology and another space race accelerate, removing the veil of secrecy from tested and refined propulsion, craft and space technologies and sourcing funding for future innovations.

Moreover, UAP and AI-Transhuman programs are intricately connected. They provide data for space startups and collaborations, platforms for secure currency systems to finance expensive programs, and for Earth-bound citizens, they prop up one another's narrative (propaganda).

In my book, Exoconscious Humans: Will Free Will Survive in an Increasingly Non Human World?, I examine the material science process through the lens of Transhumanism and technocracy.

A significant discovery while writing the book is that Transhumanism (synthetic biology, AI, digital currency, behavior, and mind control)  is creating an alternative, closed field of information. Transhumanism captures information, thoughts, and behaviors from humans and nature in an artificial field of consciousness. We will inhabit it as genetically engineered hybrid humans, plants, and animals alongside computers and robots.  In a short time, humans will operate in this artificial field to live and work on Earth and in space.
