Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence

by Alan Steinfeld

“Dis-aster” meaning in the ancient Greek “ill-fated star,” has blocked the inclusion of other starry intelligences into our historical narrative.

Arthur C. Clarke declared: “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

“to consider the Earth as the only populated world in the infinity of space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of seeds, only one plant will grow.”

on July 23, 2020, when The New York Times dropped another bombshell. It reported that the astrophysics consultant to the Pentagon’s AATIP program, Eric W. Davis, gave a series of classified briefings to members of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, and the Defense Department about “crashed retrievals of unexplained off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”23 In a follow-up story, CNN reported that Senators Marco Rubio and Mark Warner confirmed that they were given information about the existence of advanced aerial vehicles of unknown origin having visited Earth.

what I feel makes this anthology particularly exciting is the way the developmental structure of the essays progress from observation to knowledge to experience. Thus, the reader is able to proceed from the outer shell of the material phenomena, advancing inward toward personal reflections, culminating in an understanding of how to merge our consciousness with beings beyond the human realm.

vibrational upgrades.

???

This has manifested for a good number of abductees as higher intelligence, increased creativity, psychic development, and healing powers.

Therefore, the biggest struggle that readers new and old to the subject have is confronting their own prescribed view of the possible, and not escaping into a stable position whereby they can say: “Oh, now I know what UFOs and ETs are all about.” This sort of conclusion isn’t practical and maybe not even possible.

In other words, if the reader has yet to reach a level of self-reflection, the phenomena described will remain inconceivable.

No True Scotsman fallacy?

Other ways of knowing demand a suspension of our logical mind.

Then how are we to distinguish genuine phenomena from active imaginations or outright hoaxes?

Apprehending over comprehending is a movement toward a more open-ended, approximated awareness.

I'm apprehensive about this apprehension.

If this was part of the UFO propulsion it would still be going on. It isn’t, because angel hair was just part of an evolving circus act to get everyone to pay attention, go “wow,” and then tell others.

But why stop?

“rapid image cycling.” This happens in a lot of cases. Suddenly the person looking at the alien starts to see quickly firing images coming into their mind, like a hundred a second.

But if this is a random phenomenon, why would it not appear in other countries? Because the pattern is that they are doing different things at different time periods in different places.

Cultural bias.

Like changing the pages of a book, their designs keep updating.

Because people report what they see in popular culture?

People all over the city saw a huge craft with lights on the edges estimated to be about a mile across.

Or did they see individual lights not part of a larger whole? Perhaps flairs dropped by the Maryland Air National Guard who were training in the area that night.

No one can explain the legitimate crop circles

No True Scotsman fallacy?

The message basically says: We come to warn you of the destiny of your race and of your world, so that you may communicate it to your fellow beings, the course that you must take to avoid disasters which threaten your world and the beings on our world and the beings on our worlds around you. This is in order that you may share in the Great Awakening as the planet passes through the New Age of Aquarius. The New Age can be a time of great peace and evolution for your race. But only if your rulers are made aware of the evil forces that can overshadow their judgment.

Any reaction other than, "This s a hoax!" is unreasonable.

I don’t think these markings necessarily have any meaning, except that they are signaling you to know: “Yes, this is for real. It’s not a dream.”

Reasonable theory.

Almost all cattle mutilations are bloodless. Why are they bloodless? Because if they weren’t bloodless, they would not have the mysterious wow factor.

I like this theory.

It seems that almost 90 percent of experiencers have paranormal phenomenon as well.

A more reasonable explanation is that they are prone to flghts of fancy.

Moreover, if we were to consider the fifth to the eighth dimensions and the possibility of beings living there, we would get closer to the notion of time travel, as time—past, present, and future—would all be connected and completely nonlocal in these higher dimensional realities.

Is this supposed to be something more than a word salad smothered in woo dressing?

The work shows the use of paraphysical “superpowers” used globally by sensitives finding amazing facts that can only be attributed to a sixth sense or psi.

Good grief.

This is not too different from the experience of George Van Tassel, who originally worked for Douglas Aircraft, Hughes Aircraft, and Lockheed as an aerospace engineer. In 1953, Van Tassel had a unique encounter with an alien who landed outside where he was sleeping in a hollowed-out chamber under Giant Rock near Joshua Tree in Southern California.

We both came to know Van Tassel in the last decade of his life and admired his will to make a difference for humanity, especially in the construction of the famous domed structure called “The Integratron,” which he developed as a rudimentary time machine.

seem to operate beyond our normal dimensions.

I don't think this person knows what a dimension is.

everything that occurs in the living universe is ultimately the result of one or more quantum mechanical events, the universe is inhabited by an almost unlimited number of rather discrete conscious systems, thinking and nonthinking entities that are responsible for the detailed workings of the universe.

What does this even mean?

They are not subject to the laws of physical entropy, because their vibratory functions consistently operate on a higher plane of reality and consciousness awareness.

Huh?

The time is now to see ourselves and all of humanity as “cosmo-planetary-quantum beings.”

I hope the remaining chapters ares better than this.

Maybe the blood rushing into my head when I hung from the tree limb opened up a brain part that can remote view long distances?

Or more likely its just a head rush.

NASA has a superpowerful orbiting telescope called “TESS” that is looking for evidence of other life on exoplanets in our Milky Way galaxy.

No. TESS is looking for exoplanets, not life.

the surface matter world of Earth

As opposed to the immaterial world?

men have given me information, which I have no way to prove,

That's a problem.

The full scope of the complex, multilayered chess game for souls, spirits, and bodies of humans, extraterrestrials, angels, and time travelers might be beyond human ability to understand.

Indeed.

If this is truly a laboratory-constructed holographic universe projected from another dimension, then maybe the whole point of the experiment is to compare and monitor throbbing life consciousness in this matter cosmos versus cold, inanimate crystal consciousness in another lab-concocted universe.

I wish to particularly talk about the ways that we know—how we actually know anything. What is the appropriate epistemology for a particular subject?

That is why someone like Uri Geller may be hounded from pillar to post.

To defrend fraudsters, one first must obliterate the concept of reality. That is the purpose of this chapter.

All that seems very physical and ought to be reducible, or at least be possible to study with the dualistic methods of traditional science. But the alien abduction phenomenon does not seem to yield its secrets to that approach.

Well, that's just giving up.

it challenges that very sacred divide that we have created between the unseen world and the material world, undermining the fundamental worldview of the Western mind.

This gives too much credit to the Western world, which was rife with supersition and nonsense prior to the enlightenment.

The forces that surround the determination of reality is an area of politics that we have not really thought about that much. We think about the politics of economics, the governing of communities, and the creation of a social order, but not much about how we are governed with respect to what we are supposed to think is real.

Anyone: Are UFOs real? Mack: What is real, anyway?

they know that the subtle realms exist.

Then they are real!

dualistic approach

This term has not been defined.

I looked at the clock: 3:25.

He just said it was 11?

It’s easy to say, “He’s just hallucinating,” and ignore me.

Or, "He's just making it up."

We are not here to move through life on the grim rails of future knowledge but to experience events spontaneously.

Love this.

Just as tame animals don’t fear us, we can learn not to fear the visitors.

The Mayan time keepers gave us the galaxy to contemplate.

No, Ed Hubble did.

channeling as “a ventriloquist act with one partner missing.”

Good one.

later that month I was filming a video for a dancer who wanted to choreograph her alien abduction.

OK.

She said casually, “Oh, that’s an abduction scar.”

Of course she did.
