- Absolutely, Bill; except for the fact that I don't think we should
- limit ourselves to "aliens" being the ones in the position of
- "Manipulator." That doesn't necessarily have to be the case. I refer
- you to Dr. Vallee's book, "Messengers of Deception," and specifically
- to his Prologue in there.
- The Manipulation of consciousness with the potential for creating an
- entirely new mythology via the use of symbols is exactly what Vallee
- speculates. Further, like Jung, Vallee speculates that part of this
- manipulation includes promoting it within the context of a religious
- format -- a "new religion" if you like. Finally, like you, Vallee
- also believes that these "objects" are very, very physical objects; he
- does not feel they are simply psychological constructs but rather
- physical objects that psychologically manipulate thereby socially
- influencing.
-
- This is precisely what happened when the Classical Age collapsed under
- the weight of the "Mystical," resulting in the emerging dominance of
- thought that we find during the Mideval Age. As Vallee says in this
- book, the Rationalists were too busy laughing at the Irrationalists to
- realize that the Irrationalists were beginning to outnumber them!
- What the Rationlists SHOULD have done was to understand and enlighten
- the Irrational movements, not humiliate and belittle it. Maybe then
- they would have had a chance at surviving it! History may be
- repeating itself today.
