Terra remains on “Protected” status, due to the inhabitants’ extreme vulnerability. Some of the more obvious aspects of this vulnerability are listed below, along with a summary of hopeful features that indicate an emerging readiness for Contact. Although Terrans are theoretically now ready for Contact, certain factors artificially delay that development.
Emotional reactivity remains at animal levels for significant portions of the population. The ability to effectively and appropriately self monitor and regulate emotions is a skill that is not generally taught or practised, except in therapeutic situations where people seek assistance for emotional deregulation that has become so severe as to interfere with daily functioning. Another category of person tends to indiscriminately repress all emotion, with serious health and operational consequences. The ability to self-identify, label, modulate and direct emotional energy is not generally known or practised. The emotional regulation that is in place takes the form of conditioned repression and displacement, if their childhood was guided by a properly equipped caregiver. There are cultural variations in the acceptability of emotional display, but the dominant technological culture tends toward the repressive, to the point where public display of emotion by leaders is taboo. Contact, therefore, will precipitate extreme emotional reactions in the majority, which will in turn negatively impact their ability to think clearly and respond appropriately.
Thinking ability tends to be categorical and rigid for the majority, even those who profess to be “open minded.” Survival thought patterns remain dominant, whereby people only notice what is salient and obvious, and filter out subtle, incremental, and non-physical aspects of their environment. There is a strong tendency to notice and react negatively to “the other”, even others of their own species who look different, or have regional superficial skin and language differences. This tendency is so pronounced that people of a similar background and culture, or coming from the same family unit, can be rejected on the basis of political or religious belief. Perception of off-planet visitors would naturally activate those neural circuits and trigger defensive and aggressive reactions. Of particular concern in this context, is that those reactions would be directed against their fellow humans, and the population will fracture along lines of affiliation with, or rejection of non-Terrans. Pro-contact human groupings are likely to suffer extreme prejudice, up to and including extermination at the hands of the Rejecter faction.
TNN, the Terran News network, is proud to announce, for the first time, that the Galactic Academy of Sciences has launched an ambitious programme to attempt to find signs of life on other galaxies. Called the “Search for Extragalactic Intelligence”, or SEGI for short, it will attempt to passively and actively contact civilisations from other galaxies. An artificial intelligence array composed of supercomputers linked among the 500,000 most advanced planets, will execute a search pattern to examine quantum hologravito-graphic geometries, both dynamic and static, in seven dimensions, for signs of intelligence. In addition, a focused hyperphotonic pulse array will be used to project signals indicating our presence. This operation was the subject of much debate for the past 1000 standard galactic revolutions (SGRs). Ultimately, the benefits were deemed to outweigh the risks. The sense of being the lone galaxy teeming with life, in a sea of similar-looking galaxies, is insupportable. Are we really that alone in the universe? That is the question that SEGI is designed to answer.
Of particular interest to Terrans, Terra has been chosen to be site of one of the probe arrays. Our location at the edge of the galaxy was one factor in that decision. The other factor was a consideration of the fact that Terra is the most recent addition (and perhaps one of the last) to the Galactic Unity. Recognition of Terra was thought to be an appropriate celebratory gesture, honouring the fact that Terra had been searching for extraterranain life, so persistently, for so many SG revolutions. Our SETI programme, once the object of serious discussion, then after thousands of Terran years, ridicule, provides an obvious analogue to SEGI. Ultimately, SETI proved to be useless, because Galactic Protocol actually determined the timing of Contact. But SETI was nevertheless useful in generating discussion, and we now understand, in retrospect, that it was an essential aspect of Terran readiness for Contact.
Here is some background information:
This documentary, UFOs-The Secret Evidence, provides a good overview of the UFO phenomenon, including historical footage. There is special emphasis on the Cold war era disinformation efforts, and US secret technology. It takes a rather conservative view, but clearly admits that some cases are inexplicable. Some of the best evidence, such as the Belgian flap of 1996, or the Rendlesham Forest incident, is not even mentioned. It is still worth viewing for the historical perspective dating from WW2 “foo fighters”, Nazi era experimentation with antigravity, and the link to American high tech experiments. The CIA policy of encouraging UFO sightings in order to help hide secret experimentation is clearly delineated.

Enjoy.
The Cosmic Perspective, a central concept of exopsychology, is an important variable to consider when discussing Disclosure scenarios. I argue here that premature Disclosure could be disastrous. Not because it might trigger panic, but for other, more subtle reasons. (We will assume for the moment that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is valid.)
The Cosmic Perspective is the perception that the world is a whole, united, perhaps even conscious, and that we are an integral part of the planet. The perspective can extend to the solar system and universe, as when Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell went into a blissful state for three days when travelling back from the moon. His experience is a prototype of sorts for the Cosmic Perspective, but it is by no means the only example. Frank White wrote “The Overview Effect” in 1987, describing in detail the various psychological impacts experienced by people who had been in space. He interviewed astronauts and cosmonauts, in an attempt to understand the phenomenon in terms of human evolution. His learned opinion is that Contact would not take place until humanity had already reached a certain level of presence in space…but he did acknowledge that UFOs could introduce a wild card into the game.
Frank’s book presumed that the Overview effect was increasingly invoked when spatial perspective was altered, as when people flew for the first time, and especially, when they went into orbit, then to the moon, and when on space walks. He acknowledged that the experience of being in space is not enough, in itself, to invoke a full-fledged cosmic experience, and that preparation and predisposing mind-set would maximise the probability that the experience would take people beyond their conditioned mental frame, and introduce a new way of looking at themselves and the planet. (Interestingly, the same provisos exist for people who take therapeutic, supervised doses of psychedelic drugs: solid preparation enhances the experience, and, along with other considerations, ensures that the experience will be safe and illuminating, as opposed to confusing or disturbing. The connection between outer space and inner space is significant.)
The Cosmic Perspective is on a continuum, or spectrum, that begins in everyday experiences.
A greater, more inclusive perspective is experienced when people look out from atop a mountain for the first time,
Or when coming upon a scene of breathtaking beauty and grandeur, such as when hiking in the mountains, and you round a bend to suddenly behold a wide flower-strewn valley: you have a momentary alteration of consciousness, enough to stop you in your tracks, and perhaps exclaim aloud. Such scenes are often described as being “stunning”. Indeed it is a tiny jolt, experienced as pleasurable, suggesting an evolutionary benefit.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to participate in a workshop hosted by Apollo 14 astronaut and physicist Dr. Edgar Mitchell, as part of the Spirit Heals Conference, in Victoria, British Columbia.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell
The theme was Quantum Holography, something that Dr. Mitchell proposes as an explanatory mechanism for psychic phenomena, anti-gravity, and other present day conundrums. It was rather technical in nature, but fascinating nonetheless.
He referred early on to the experience he had on his return trip to Earth, when he intuitively knew that he was connected to the Universe at a molecular level, an intuition of such force and impact that he was in a state of bliss for three days, and changed forever. The Cosmic Perspective (called by Frank White the Overview Effect) is a central topic for exopsychology. How can the effect be simulated, so that people who are ready may be able to also profit from a perspective-induced quantum leap in intuitive capacity? But that is a topic for other posts and articles. I wish to report here on another message, about extraterrestrials, that he brought to the small group of about thirty individuals (including Dr. Raymond Moody).
