| Con’t: “An observer at Dover, New Hampshire, reported, “an appearance of the Aurora Borealis, early in the preceding evening, which continued until 4 o'clock in the morning, when it suddenly broke into streams of strong light, spreading into columns, changing into a thousand different shapes, varying their colors through all the tints of the rainbow, and shooting from the horizon almost to the zenith. This scene was followed by a splendid exhibition of fireworks. Luminous balls might be seen darting about with great velocity, leaving behind them a train resembling that of a comet. The whole was closed by the formation of a triumphal arch which vanished before the coming of morning light.” (Olmsted 397-98) (35) These are very strange reports of celestial phenomenon we still do not understand, and may never will. So, disregarding meteors and this other strange phenomenon, what are UFOs? The answer might be “several things.” 1.) Bioforms, Orgone Energy Amoebas as Wilhelm Reich first pointed out which exist in the ethers and appear like unicellular creatures. 2.) Intelligently guided spheroid vehicles of an etheric sort that appear to be a form of higher evolved animal but has metallic or hard-shell form characteristics. 3.) Life forms that exist in the ethers that are amorphous and can manifest and change shape and appear as serpents, firebirds, or creatures of similar sort for short periods of time. 4.) Physically constructed vehicles of various sorts built by mankind prior to the end of WWII which are flown on increasingly sophisticated forms of propulsion. The first and second varieties are the most commonly seen aerial phenomenon. The third variety are anomalies, for the most part and rarely seen or experienced. More and more, since the 1950’s, the government type, number four, are commonly seen, and we will explore that area shortly. Discourses on the Secret Sciences The following excerpts are from an extremely interesting book, published in 1670, titled, Compte de Gabalis or, Discourses on the Secret Sciences by Abbé N. Montfaucon de Villars. The book is a conversation between a mysterious cabalist who first appears to Abbe and begins a discourse on the philosophy of the “Ethereal” realm and the spiritual inhabitants such as sylphs, gnomes, salamanders, and nymphs. The most significant and important aspect of this piece, is the fact that some people today, believe that sorcery takes place within the cabala, and it is there, which occurs the summoning of demons, or “emissaries of Satan”; some researchers interested in Cabala believe these demons to be today’s UFOs, and what is most interesting is that it appears the discussion revolves around the use of mushrooms or some entheogen: |
“When you have been enrolled among the Children of the Philosophers, and when your eyes have been strengthened by the use of the very Holy Medicine, you will straightway discover that the Elements are inhabited by most perfect beings. Unhappy Adam’s sin has deprived his unfortunate posterity of all knowledge of these beings and of all intercourse with them. The immense space which lies between Earth and Heaven has Inhabitants far nobler than the birds and insects. These vast seas have far other hosts than those of the dolphins and whales; the depths of the earth are not for the moles alone; and the Element of Fire, nobler than the other three, was not created to remain useless and empty. The air is full of an innumerable multitude of Peoples, whose faces are human, seemingly rather haughty, yet in reality tractable, great lovers of the sciences, cunning, obliging to the Sages, and enemies of fools and the ignorant.” (36) What “Holy Medicine” could this potion be, which “strengthens the eyes”? Surely a psychedelic one because vision has now been altered. Not just normal vision mind you but the vision of the philosopher, which is the mind or the mind’s eye. Continuing: “Hear me to the end and know that the seas and rivers are inhabited as well as the air. The ancient Sages called this Comte de Gabalis race of people Undines or Nymphs. There are very few males among them but a great number of females; their beauty is extreme, and the daughters of men are not to be compared to them. The earth is filled well-nigh to its centre with Gnomes, people of slight stature, who are the guardians of treasures, minerals and precious stones. They are ingenious, friends of man and easy to govern. They furnish the Children of the Sages with all the money they require, and as the price of their service ask naught save the glory of being commanded. The Gnomides, their wives, are small but very amiable, and their dress is exceedingly curious. As for the Salamanders, flaming dwellers of the Region of Fire, they serve the Philosophers, but do not seek their company eagerly, and their daughters and wives rarely show themselves.” (37) We have learned about a race of elementals which includes nymphs and gnomes, earth spirits which guard precious stones and minerals of the earth.
