Was first contact with alien civilizations a paranormal event? Very possibly…. Here’s why.
Let’s establish that you are willing to admit of paranormal activity, albeit at a minimal level. Have you ever had the feeling someone was looking at you behind your back? Did you turn around and catch them in the act?
Of course you have. That was a paranormal event. If you balk at admitting even that bare minimum, I am afraid this blog post is not your cup of tea. [I believe paranormal events are psychic events, i.e. actions of the human soul which are a product of intuitive faculties which science has not yet clearly defined. Occult events are often related to paranormal events, but I make a distinction between the two. Both are spiritual and often may be connected, but true occult events are demonic, and true paranormal events are strictly human actions of the human soul. There is a soul.]
I once almost married a woman whom I met through just such a paranormal event as I have cited at the outset. While on a date at a small club in Washington, D.C., I sensed someone looking at me from behind, and turned consciously, slowly, and sure enough there she was, staring at me. I walked over and said: “You realize, of course, that we just made paranormal contact?” To which she nodded, grinning. My date was aghast when the woman and I started French kissing…. A couple of years later the woman in question broke up with me over a question she posed to me over the telephone. She asked me to fold my hands…I folded them. (READER: you do the same. Fold your hands.)
She then asked me if my right thumb was over my left thumb, or my left thumb over my right thumb. Apparently, the wrong thumb was on top, so she broke up with me, explaining the flawed meaning of my choice. Easy come, easy go, I always say.
HOW ARE YOURS FOLDED?
If your left thumb is on top of your right thumb – and you are right handed – it means you want to be comforted, suckled,
coddled, and taken care of. However, if your right thumb is on top of your left thumb, and you are right handed, it means you are assertive and want to possess. My left thumb was on top, and so she dumped me, not wanting a dependent male on her hands for the rest of her life….
Since then I have been trying to rectify my thumb-preference when I fold my hands, but it still doesn’t feel right. Oh,well.
But getting back to the topic….
I ASSERT that early humans sensed they were being looked at, observed, from space. – Now, in 2013, that exo-planets are being discovered around seemingly EVERY STAR, this first intuitive alien contact I am proposing is of more relevance than ever before…. Here’s what’s behind my conjecture.
Myths were made from CONSTELLATIONS. Constellations were made as the attempt to remember the identity and location of each star. Let it be noted that the “memory” of which I speak is both permanent and collective. “Collective” may be construed to denote the tribe, clan, or whatever memory group was being represented by the constellation and associated myth, but the term “collective” can just as easily be applied to humanity in general, as all cultures seem to have made constellations of the stars, and told stories. Myths, then, are collective memory.
Concerning the constellations, bright stars usually signified EYES, eyes of animals more often than of people, more often birds than other animals. Animal eyes seem to glow in the dark with any amount of reflected light, so it is not much of a jump to see a star as an animal eye. Birds are properly placed in the sky. Constellations with bird eyes as conspicuous stars include: Cynus the swan; Corvus the crow; Aquila the eagle, just to name a few that pop into my mind, as well as terrestial animals: Taurus, the bull, has a red star as its bloodshot eye, (bullseyes on targets are still red for that reason – in fact the store, TARGET, has as its company symbol is a red bullseye); Sirius the eye of Canis Major is a dog’s eye, etc. etc.
Pictured here is the SUMMER TRIANGLE of three modern constellations: Cygnus the Swan is portrayed in Lascaux cave as the DEAD MAN, the oldest representation of a human (note the erect penis – God bless him!), first magnitude star Deneb is his eye; Vega is the eye of the auroch; and Altair is the eye of the bird, now the eagle, Aquila.
So, the ancient people just did not look up at the stars…THEY FELT THE STARS WERE LOOKING AT THEM…for example, the eye of Medusa – the star Al Gol…the Demon Star – so not all the stars looking at them were particularly friendly.
Therefore I posit that Humanity’s first contact with alien life – mostly animal??? – was paranormal or intuitive.
Double-check: did you ever have a paranormal event with an animal…cat looking at you…? Certainly you have. I have even had paranormal sensation of the watching eyes of an insect: a Praying Mantis…blew my mind. So I gave him a fly, and he took it from my hand, and we became good friends, until that horrible day I mistakenly and unknowingly gave him a fly that my wife had sprayed with RAID bug spray, and it killed him…I will never forget the look of betrayal that mantis gave me before he toppled from the shower curtain-rod and fell dead at my feet.
I think SETI – the search for ExtraTerrestialIntelligence – would do well to add intuitive elements into the signals they send into space, and look for intuitive signals in their scans of space…they might just be out there looking for us to make paranormal contact – again.
