What could paranormal phenomena control? I suggest that it is human belief that is being controlled and conditioned.
– Jacques Vallee
The human mind does not operate within a unified wholeness but rather through the fragments of a piecemeal story. These fragments are constantly rearranged to tell a different story according to the dominant narrative. The arrangement of these fragments of storytelling form part of the generally unknown or suppressed mechanisms and processes of the deliberate management and conditioning of human consciousness. One of these lucrative sites of targeting is through the medium of the paranormal; this is also a secret realm of the infliction of trauma upon the individual and collective mind.
In past eras, this has been maintained through narratives of myth, legend, mystic-themed paradigms, occultism, and the sustained secrecy of certain ‘secret societies’.
The thoughts, beliefs, and opinions that were ‘available for use’ within the social collective of the masses have always been limited by regulation. For such a long time, information came from localised sources and was heavily governed by those same sources.
However, as the general level of conscious awareness rises, the control systems also become more complex and sophisticated. Not only do such conditioning mechanisms operate through well-known social-cultural institutions – education, politics, law, the media, and many more (as have been well-documented) – they also work more stealthily through paranormal phenomena.
As the author, scientist and paranormal investigator Jacques Vallee stated: “I propose the hypothesis that there is a control system for human consciousness… Human life is ruled by imagination and myth. These obey strict laws and they, too, are governed by control systems… What could paranormal phenomena control? I suggest that it is human belief that is being controlled and conditioned.”1
Over an extended period of time, new mythologies are formed and planted into mass human consciousness, functioning as conductors controlling human beliefs, ideas and ideals – which then develop into ideologies. These modulating factors then gain a controlling influence over the relationship between human consciousness and physical reality.
Such mechanisms have been in force throughout a great span of human history and operate to manipulate human minds by sources largely external to us. These are deliberate attempts to diminish our sense of reality, making people more suggestible and open for programming and creating a psychic numbness that restricts the range of human perception.
Recently, such programming has been applied to paranormal, metaphysical, and spiritual phenomena and experiences.
Socio-Spiritual Engineering
Socio-spiritual engineering can be regarded as a form of ‘culture-making’ prevalent throughout many cultural events and iconic movements. Some of these strategies were developed and implemented through high-level institutes establishing themselves as credible social enterprises (such as the Tavistock Institute in the UK).
The structures that uphold physical reality (including belief structures) are diametrically positioned against phenomena that may substantiate a spiritual or metaphysical reality. That is, the tangibility of the physical domain and the intangibility of the metaphysical realm are not only placed in opposition, but their potentials are fragmented. This once clandestine method operates so that phenomena and events are orchestrated to break down the wholeness or credibility of each realm. In this, the ‘unidentified spectre’ plays the perfect role.
Mysterious or so-called unexplained phenomena act as a direct challenge to the established consensus reality or narrative. Consensus reality is the ultimate secret society, with most people unaware of its existence or that they have been inducted as members. To introduce rapid programming and psychological fluctuations into the mass mind, it is best to maintain a series of ‘anomalies’ within the system that can be utilised to create episodes of fragmentation and disassociation. This is when spectres are brought out from behind the veil.
Mystification has long been a highly effective weapon of psychological warfare. Such elements have also played into the creation of myths as a form of social engineering. Social myths and mystification can be used as channels for the directing of, and influence of, the human psyche and psychic energies. Manipulated and/or controlled events have the power to affect and influence both the conscious and the unconscious mind.
This can be utilised to create a split between what we are told to believe through our conditioning and what may be experienced in the metaphysical realm. This discrepancy can create a rift in the human psyche and fragment our ‘sense of reality’, which can then sow the seeds of psychological imbalance.
Paranormal phenomena can be exploited to create an ambiguity that produces a state of ‘deferred closure’. That is, because the conditioned rational mind cannot create a closure (i.e., there is no ultimate solution), this creates dissonance. This dissonance is further reinforced through the dissemination and circulation of alternative and differing answers that, while promising to satisfy, end up confusing the human mind by not allowing a consistent view of reality. This produces a state of ‘closure-starvation’ that will likely persuade a person to accept an explanation offering closure relief.
This procedure of mind programming and manipulation utilises aspects of the ‘secret’ and the ‘suppressed’ to create further programs within consensus reality. The medium of psycho-spiritual phenomena allows conditioning to be implanted more deeply and directly, bypassing much of the conscious mind. In this way, methods of psychological splintering and trauma can be employed. The fact that such implanting can occur with relatively no knowledge or awareness of it shows how little we know about the psychic world of the human being.
In recent years there has been a significant shift in people’s belief patterns regarding the concept of the paranormal. The external layering of the dominant consensus reality works upon the meta-logical level and seeks to program the conscious mind of the individual and the collective. Yet the subconscious (collective) mind is influenced more upon the metaphysical level (as was well known to Carl Jung). And in this space, many of our mythological structures have been changing and/or reprogrammed – especially by introducing various psychic phenomena.
Life experience in consensus reality is often programmed through ritual, the intentional design and correspondences of symbols, words, and coordinated actions. It is ceremonial action performed according to a prescribed order. Humanity, for the most part, is immersed within a medium of ritual. Rituals are manipulated practices to obtain a defined outcome. The spectres and spooks that keep popping up in our cultures most likely represent the agents of subterfuge and deception.
Through socio-spiritual engineering, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between the imaginary, the deception, the quasi-reality, and the lesser reality, as people’s reality tunnels are continuously manipulated. Without most people’s awareness, fragmentation and splintering of the human psyche is in effect. What is often perceived as one’s general reality is actually a controlled environment fragmented and stitched together through narratives, stories, and conditioning programs that serve to exert a metaphysical uncertainty and imbalance within many unsuspecting minds.
Paranormal phenomena, such as the UFO spectacle of the last seventy years or so, allow the more transcendental part of the human psyche to intervene and ‘rescue’ us from mundane reality by ‘abducting’ us into its realm. This realm is real enough, albeit a dissociated one. In this way, certain paranormal and/or psycho-spiritual encounters and experiences – whether ‘real’ or not – may serve as a form of initiation into a type of social trauma. This trauma acts on a subtle level, integrating itself into the socio-cultural psyche in a way that splinters the wholeness of the collective mind without pushing it beyond the bounds of social functionality. In this way, says Jasun Horsley, UFO encounters and alien abduction experiences “may be a way for some of us to allow such traumatic material into our awareness in a more ‘magical’ (transcendental) guise.”2
Voices of authority, such as national governments, have been heavily involved in manipulating how psychic phenomena are presented to the public, especially regarding UFOs. For their part, they have been officially denying its existence while at the same time covertly leaking stories confirming that UFOs do exist. This form of ‘subliminal contradiction technique’ has massively increased in the last few years as many top-level sources, including the Pentagon, have gone on record to disclose UFO activity.
Further, in what can be seen as another form of cognitive programming, the United States authorities have begun to refer to UFO phenomena as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in an attempt to control the new phase of the narrative. These forms of ongoing denial, followed by bouts of official or ‘unofficially leaked’ disclosure of suppressed secrets, create a subconscious contradiction that establishes an extreme form of cognitive dissonance within the public mindset. This ongoing inconsistency between two beliefs does not resolve but solidifies uncertainty and dissonance through well-placed subliminal contradictions.
When a subliminal contradiction is accepted without initial resistance, the critical faculty is deactivated, leaving the mind vulnerable and receptive to suggestion. If, at any later point, an official admission claims to give the ‘official version’ of UFO events, then the general public is more likely to accept it with the relief that an answer has finally been found. This ‘relief’ comes as a ‘resolution response’ within the programmed mind.
UFO phenomena is slyly blended here with psychic, paranormal, and metaphysical aspects to colonise and reprogram the ‘spiritual’ domain. These are cunning manoeuvres as many people tend to confuse psychic experience with spiritual attainment. The tendency to willingly indulge in certain psychic or paranormal experiences may work to strengthen false spiritual programming rather than strengthen the inner self.
There is a great need and/or longing within the human condition to access non-visible realms, transcendental states, and similar experiences. This longing, or need, can be a weakness if a person does not show discernment. Belief and imagination can easily be flipped into ideology, insecurity, and doubt.
In recent years, especially, there has been a dramatic rise in insecurity alongside paranormal and psycho-spiritual activity. This is the perfect recipe for splintering the collective psyche and exercising subtle programs of conscious and unconscious trauma.
A Traumatised Reality
Modern societies tend to go through a form of psychological reorganisation of the social system, now and again, which acts as a form of recalibration to keep the social realm from settling down too much.
Whether we are aware of it or not, trauma has always been incorporated into the ‘norm’ in human society, from medical birthing procedures, random acts of violence, institutionalised madness, authoritarian fear strategies, population indoctrinations, religious-cult programming, conditioned education, and more. All these elements combine to create variations upon a divided consciousness. Carl Jung referred to this state as dissociation which acts as a polarising force against psychic integration.
The human psyche is already fragile and hence vulnerable to further triggers toward dissociation. It is suggested that these triggers have been arriving through paranormal experiences; the top of the list is the ‘extra-terrestrial issue’ and UFO phenomena.
This is significant given that there has been a recent increase in UFO-related material within mainstream media. Once regarded as a subject of mainstream ridicule or avoidance, major news outlets (in the US especially) have been carrying reports about ‘credible’ verified sightings. There is speculation that this sudden rise in mainstream reporting (orchestrated through intelligence agencies) belongs to an engineered propaganda operation for preparing the collective mindset for a new ‘paranormal narrative’. That is, another ‘reality-tunnel’ is being constructed for mass release.
For a long time, the subject of ‘aliens’ belonged to a historical lineage of phenomena that included fairies, ‘little people’, nature spirits, djinns, demons, etc. Jungian psychoanalyst Donald Kalsched notes that the word ‘daimonic’ comes from daiomai, which means to divide, and that it originally referred to moments of divided consciousness. Kalsched studied trauma in relation to mytho-poetic manifestations and psycho-spiritual development. Triggers from the mytho-spiritual realm, which includes paranormal experience, can cause a fragmentation of the consciousness (especially in less-grounded individuals). In this case, the external event fuses with a person’s inner psychological state. As Kalsched notes: “The full pathological effect of trauma requires an outer event and a psychological factor. Outer trauma alone doesn’t split the psyche. An inner psychological agency – occasioned by the trauma – does the splitting.”3 Jung referred to these states as ‘splinter-psyches’ where one of the splinter complexes, after the initial trauma, attempts to protect the regressed part like a guardian. This may prevent further psychic integration as the psyche cannot fully integrate or process the experience. The person may try to re-enact or regain the traumatic experience as a way of gaining closure. This may explain some of the obsessive behaviour of paranormal experiencers after the event to keep searching for repeat experiences.
The nefarious agenda of psycho-spiritual programming through metaphysical events is that these ‘inhibited programs’ bypass the conscious mind almost immediately and attach themselves to the parts of the subconscious. That is, the programming bypasses the usual gatekeepers of our minds. Once these mechanisms are in place, they can then be activated whenever there is a need to trigger a part of the collective psyche.
The UFO phenomenon has been gradually sown into our cultural soils for at least the past seven or eight decades. At the same time, the seeds of trauma have scattered throughout various extra-terrestrial contact experiences. It is possible that the ‘alien question’ has been developed as a form of programming to mimic spiritual realities on the psycho-physical level and so prepare the way for something even more traumatic.
The French mystic-philosopher Rene Guenon wrote several books warning that increased materialism and physical trappings will lead to a “solidification of the world,” resulting in “fissures” opening up through which “infra-psychic” forces can enter.4 These forces, amongst others, impact the human psychosphere and rewire our internal programming.
There may indeed be some physical brain rewiring going on. As infamous UFO contactee Whitley Streiber says: “If you actually wanted people to increase the use of the right brain, then stressing them would be a way to do it. If you apply trauma in the right way, what you are actually doing is reengineering the brain.”5
The unidentified spectres presented to us as ‘suppressed secrets’ may trigger an expansion of consciousness and be a vehicle for traumatic brain programming. Jasun Horsley questions whether splitting the human psyche could be a way of allowing or letting through certain ‘hostile forces’ that may be a part of the shadow psyche. These shadows might then be materialised, or at least experienced, by the psyche as material phenomena.6
Letting through these unidentified spectres may be just some of the secret programs operating to splinter the collective human psyche and steer it further away from psychic integration and wholeness.
Interestingly, much of metaphysical phenomena is classed as part of the ‘new paradigm’ and suchlike, as if these elements are part of a new reality consciousness. And yet the very notion of paradigms – and hence, the concept of a ‘new paradigm’ – is an alternative emergence from within existing structures.
As such, metaphysical phenomena and experiences may serve to deceive if they are utilised for simply rearranging the pre-existing furniture of our minds rather than breaking out of these programmed reality-boxes. This deception causes people to believe it is a ‘new reality’ when in fact it is yet another layer within the multi-faceted Matrix.
Another aspect to consider is that metaphysical experiences tend to take the experiencer away from their bodily presence. As the metaphysical and paranormal threads become increasingly woven into the mainstream narrative, we may be witnessing a new programmed reality unfolding that requires a subconscious rejection of the body.
Is the controlling program now intent on rejecting the bodily-physical as part of the rising human-machine narrative? In this, and so much more, we must apply our perceptive awareness and discernment as never before. The Game is On.
