Here is an exercise for which I will provide the answer by the end here - but, you should 'Google Search' it first before consulting the answer below (which in any case I might simply provide in the comments section later):
From where, does the phrase 'a horse by any other name' come?
Google Search, please.
Most casual observers regularly say, when it comes to ET's - where are the official sources claiming they exist?
Walt Disney and Wernher von Braun |
Try the following -
Jack Parsons - problematic, but still (Jet Propulsion Labs CALTECH - aka NASA)
Russell Targ (the world's historically leading primary researcher into lasers and masers)
Dr David Hawkins (the Manhattan Project)
Christopher Mellon (DIA)
Michael Collins (NASA astronaut)
Edwin Aldrin (NASA astronaut)
...really, you can go on for pages, and categorize those listings into those who say they know for certain, and those scientists who say they believe on account of the statistical probability and so on.
What you will very soon encounter, however, when you look into any or all of these people, is that they spend just as much time and energy talking about 'god' and 'religious beliefs' and meditation and 'mind matters,' you might say - as they do actual hard metal shiny disc-shaped objects with little green people inside them.
And I'm going to tell you why that is.
Early August 1945, the United States government, led by President Harry S. Truman, dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Hiroshima bomb was dropped August 6, and the Nagasaki bomb on August 9.
Nagasaki |
Beforehand, all of the chief scientists, chief technicians and chief engineers began compiling a letter to Truman, indicating that they were not in favor of dropping the bomb on civilian populated areas first, but recommended a detonation high overhead as a warning.
Edward Teller, the man most responsible of all for the successful manufacture and functioning of the nuclear weapon, refrained from adding his name to the letter, having been encouraged by J. Robert Oppenheimer to leave the decision in the hands of the better-informed political leaders in Washington...
Afterwards, Teller said his decision not to sign was a mistake.
Dr David Hawkins' role in the Manhattan Project, was as a highest level communications liaison officer between all of the scientists, many of whom were notoriously difficult to relate to when it came to 'normal' other people, and exhibited some irascibility even at the best of times anyway. Hawkins was a mathematician of some regard among the top-line serious professional mathematicians but his main game was psychology.
Later on, Dr David Hawkins owned one of the most successful and lucrative commercial psychology practices coast-to-coast in the United States, and that was even after he went into virtual retirement from that to concentrate on 'meditation.'
Much later on still, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, there were a set of incidents, which dovetailed into vague concerns that had been being voiced by a number of high-placed scientists and some military people as well, that they had been contacted by ET Aliens and told outright that there were to be exactly no future actual using of any nuclear weapons whatsoever and that if it were ever attempted again, there would be the most dire consequences - literally carried out by ET's against whoever was trying to use nuclear weapons.

The series of incidents, consisted of warnings that nuclear secured facilities would lose all electrical power, even from the localized backup sources, at a specific time - and that is what eventuated. It is from that that sprung quiet inquiries as to how real such warnings were and whether or not they really had come from Extraterrestrial (IE Alien Intelligent Being) sources.
The moral dimension regarding the uses of nuclear weapons was already a driving force behind the widespread interest that so many of those who had worked on the Manhattan Project, as well as other top secret mainly weapons research programs - had begun to show in things like Eastern moral philosophy and Buddhism and all things 'Good versus Evil/God versus 'not God.'
Dr David Hawkins has interesting available work out there, which goes into this subject of 'I versus other I,' but his work also shows a lot of his own pre-commitment to Buddhist philosophy and ideology, really.
Dr Steven Greer, prominent ufologist. |
Dr Steven Greer, who is not specifically from an actual CIA or military project or program (although he also has had some 'near-to-fully-official' involvement in related official research, at least, since his projects at moments received CIA and Military funding), has a very strong interest also, in meditation and the moral dimension of ET Alien encountering.
Now, here's my point - if you are unable to find out where the statement I outlined in the first paragraph above came from, and let's submit that neither will the whole entire information resources of the CIA itself either be able to say, and the whole panoply of US academia, then - what is the point of any of you pretending you are even close at all to being able to engage with ET Aliens because you are smart enough to?
You are not, smart enough to. Yet.
So, what's the answer? (And why is it important, of course...).
I don't know what the answer is, of course. But what's interesting to me, personally, in terms of "what am I thinking now?" kind of game: This brings to mind two famous lines by Shakespeare and William Blake. I could go down that road on my blog I suppose, might be fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah but did you 'Google Search' it? ...Because, after all, Google and Wiki, well they know everything and contain everything, right? LOL
DeleteWell yes, I found a book and a funny story from 1979 about a race horse owner who was having a hard time getting a horse name certified.
DeleteAlso I was reminded of Charles James Hall's story about "Range 4 Harry" -- a horse that glowed in the dark and floated across the sage brush
DeleteYep, gonna do it. Because the road for me starts with some personal experiences in Winchester, England. A funny old place.
ReplyDeletePlease link your blog article here, I think we'd all appreciate it.
DeleteThe answer is... ...the Cratylus. Written around 2400 years ago, and likely a Greek rendering of the Veda 'Nirukta' about the science of natural name (Sanskrit), which is around 4000 years old.
ReplyDeleteHere's the blog post. Didn't mention the cratylus, although I know from my college days. We were asked to read that and another thing, Saussure's *Cours*

You know I do wonder how many people just reading here and more or less 'lurking' quietly, really GET what is being said here, and the 'contrapuntal' discussion elements...?
DeleteFrankly, if you run off over a cliff and it is very far from the ground below, or some rocks, or the sea, you're not going fly like Peter Gabriel at Solsbury Hill - you're going to get hurt at minimum. So, it does pay to know what the word 'cliff' represents in reality.
My blog has received very little attention and I want to keep it that way. Certainly very few people I actually know should read it, and the analytics has shown very little traffic. The one person I have shown it too says she doesn't understand why I'm being so pretentious. I view it as a way to get my own thoughts in order, but I'm sure anyone who sees it would wonder...
DeleteIt doesn't seem pretentious to me. I mean we all can be pretentious from time to time and the nearest academic or 'expert in the field' on whatever we are commenting on will say 'oh, so-and-so is ultracrepidarian.' And then, THEN, you can award yourself a gold star!!! And go 'yesssss!' ...And do that thing the pre-millennials all do. And the millenials text the symbols for doing.
DeleteSo did you read either or both of them with your eyes open - or your eyes wide shut?
