Posthuman Blues has a take on UFO, alien and other entity visitations which sounds very much like a Quantum Psychology/Chaos Magic tretise. If nothing else, as a belief system, this could work very well for evoking. "Aliens," whether perceived as gnomes or fairies or demons or even humans (as in the case of the mysterious airship sightings of the late 19th century) may be forced to appear as they are by the cultural biases and limited expectations of the witness. Thus we have a pageant of fantastic beings of all descriptions: robot-like monsters, winged entities such as the infamous "Mothman," furry giants, all manner of "little men," and, of course, the ubiquitous "Grays." However, most if not all of the above may share a common psychical origin; only by appealing to our collective unconscious can they take form at all. As such, they constitute an ongoing waking dream; they are "true hallucinations" -- quantum composites that, while objectively real (as revealed by physical effects on the environment), demand a level of unconscious participation on behalf of their wide-eyed spectators. See " Alien visitation: a global quantum event?" for the whole article. |

this pulls strongly from jung and terence mckenna (actually quoting them both). i think it explains a great deal of people's experiences in this area. though i don't fully discredit the idea that folks also get visited by little men from outer space or the gi joe's dressed up like little men from outer space, or goddess knows what.

I don't think the two things have to be mutually exclusive -- the little green men may be "real," but are only seen (and probed) by those who are psychologically predisposed to see them, for whatever reason. |

I will even entertain the notion that they may not have existed before the witness observes them, but are entirely "real" by any test or measure while observed. Spontaneous evocation?
We should watch for Ratatosk sightings in the news now.

My dog loves to chase squirrels in the back yard -- I hope he's not bringing bad karma upon the household. |

I am waiting for Profet Yaweh to call the UFOs again.
At least he can do UFO's on command.

I think the little green men probably reside in the probability matrix or aether as our potential future selves.

So some say. I doubt that. And they are not green. |

So some say. I doubt that. And they are not green. I know, they are silver. |
