In last week’s post, we discussed how electromagnetic signals have been radiated into outer space. Signals that have acted like a beacon, suggesting to anyone who detects them that, “Someone is making noise on this little blue planet.”
The key to UFOs and contact with extraterrestrials, in a word, is “consciousness.”
First, let’s discuss some background concepts. I spent seven years in the Buddhist monastic life, so I know a little bit about consciousness. The fundamental principle you must understand is the concept known as the “omni-consciousness.”
The omni-consciousness is beyond comprehension, it permeates all things everywhere and when. Many folks look upon the omni-consciousness as the divine force that is at the core of many spiritual beliefs.
All living things are part of the omni-consciousness. We, as human beings, with our “dualistic thinking” tend to think that we are separate from the omni-consciousness, but we really aren’t. We, ourselves, like all living things, are connected to the omni-consciousness because we are all a part of the whole. Again, I must empathize this one critical point, the omni-consciousness transcends time, space, vast distances and even dimensions in the multiverse.
People who are adept at deep meditation can usually touch the primordial knowledge and sense of knowing. Think of deep meditation as a way of quieting the day-to-day chatter of our ordinary, conceptual mind. When we can get ourselves into this meditative state of mind, interesting things are possible. Historically mystical practitioners like shamans, monastics and other forms of mystics have been able to reach out and touch “star beings,” as some indigenous tribes call them. Again, the key to this is our connectedness to all other living things though the omni-consciousness.
In recent years, there has been a movement within the experiencer movement (formerly called alien abductees) to reach out and contact extraterrestrial intelligence using altered states of meditative consciousness. There is structured process for this called the “CE-5 Protocols.” CE-5 stands for “close encounters five.”
Let’s take a moment and discuss the meaning of close encounters. The late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, as a UFO investigator, developed an original system back in the 1970s for describing and ranking various levels of contact with extraterrestrials and their occupants. The CE system takes into account distance and other special features related to the close encounter.
Dr. Hynek’s original system had three categories:
- Close encounters of the first kind: Strange objects seen nearby with no physical interaction with the environment.
- Close encounters of the second kind: Strange objects leaves physical evidence; for example, depressions in the soil, damage to vegetation, trace or elevated radiation signatures, and perhaps some form of electromagnetic effect or interference.
- Close encounters of the third kind: Cases where occupants or entities are seen.
- Close encounters of the fourth kind: Deals with cases where witnesses experience lost time and perhaps feels as though they were abducted. This is also considered extraterrestrial initiated contact with humans.
- Close encounters of the fifth kind: CE-5 is characterized as human-initiated, mutual contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence through bilateral communication.
