Philosopher William Dudley Bass - The Seeing `Too Many' UFOs Feeling

My internet friend and storyteller William Bass saw an U.F.O. in broad daylight in September 2015, and wrote about it in his insightful blog here - UFO's Gone - and his report is very articulate in all aspects, including having drawings of the UFO craft within his perception for a few real seconds of actualization. He brought my attention to it later in the fall as in the post he talks about what my reflections have been on the UFO saga.... using some very glowing terms (IMO)...indeed at one point I sent his words about my UFOlogy onto a buddy or two.

But, today's post isn't really about William's experience - or even my analysis - but about something that William refers to (almost in passing) in his post... that this is NOT the first time he has witnessed UFO crafts or anomalous sky phenomena - and his wonderment about how many folks had the same perception he did in September in the cars surrounding him on the bridge. Did they too see the UFO?

So... two things really... 1... seeing too many UFOs....2 ....did others see the same thing. (And I could add 3 - the slippery slope of what constitutes  now and real of phenomenology.) How about we take a look at `seeing too many UFOs' first; something that almost amazingly I have not talked about as UFO theory over 1,300+ posts.

First... let me answer I think the easiest part of my questions above... I DON'T think that other motorists saw the UFO like William or at least VERY VERY few of them.... and don't think it had anything to do with their attentiveness....well maybe just a little bit......IMO the few that saw anything didn't have it register in their brain and probably dismissed the immediate impression without consciousness as a bird or something.

Not expecting the impossible (unlike William with a heighten awareness who is aware because of prior anomalous sky perceptions) they simply don't fold the perception into immediate actualization for their retina..... belief sets taking control of screening anomalous data (that could be a safety hazard while driving on a bridge too). Indeed, back in the earliest days of this blog I provided real estimate based on USA survey data questioning that suggested that only 1% or less of the US population had ever seen any anomalous sky phenomena. Taking all that into account and the brevity of the experience... William WAS probably that 1% representative. (Funny as William very represents the 99% in his view on reality.)

But... now, let's tackle the deeper issues.,,,,,lol.

The people who are seeing `too many UFOs' in the skies - fall into only a very few categories. ONE - Folks like the Facebook group I'm a member of (with 390 others) and have been touting around UDCC for the past few months - In The Field - Active Observers In The Field - this group has active folks looking for the anomalous in the daytime (like myself) and night sky. And TWO - the callers/summoners - who since about 2002-2003 or so - have been able to demonstrate their expectations. 

And then there is group THREE - like William - and I suspect the vast majority of the 1% (who are NOT callers or actively seeking) who at some point in their life saw UFO one and then at some later point...or points... had the same perceptions again.,,,, and who were then relegated to putting that somehow into their expected reality mix..... without really any support for such things within society.... `Hey, I saw another UFO yesterday' --- (and the folks slink away from the one announcing such an event).

Humorously, both groups one and two - explain it in different ways in general (this is not to say that overlap exists for one and two as it certainly does) - and the number TWO group (callers and summoners) is a bit easier surprisingly. You see, the callers and summoners are convinced of THEIR contact methodology (since it works) and in nearly EVERY instance... that contact is mental and could be called meditative (to prayerful)..... to bleeding over into VERY religious. Additionally, these people `know the event' is for them - and what they are practicing to elicit the actualization. Readers of this blog know that I've identified DOZENS over the past few years.

Unfortunately for the callers/summoners - one of the most prominent callers has gotten caught up with the sleazy side of YouTube UFOlogy hoaxers - and many in group one are quick to brand all those who call and summon fakers and hoaxers... even seem to have a lot of their own more `science' view of UFOs vulnerable to such `callers'... it's as if their point of view is SO SHORT and new - to NOT have known that callers existed well before the YouTube UFO hoaxer crowd.

So... let's talk theoretically about group ONE - those `science oriented' `tech' finders of U.F.O.'s in our collective skies. Group one people using not thought and meditation (they believe) but modern technology to find those anomalous lights in our skies. High powered binoculars... night vision cameras... the most advanced high powered video cameras....etc, you get the idea (comparing their finds to sky charts, flight charts, and sky debris just to be sure)..... and sure enough... JUST LIKE THE CALLERS... the group one seekers - also find what they were seeking within our common consensus. 

Could it be that simple?

Could it be `intentions'?

Now, group one will tell you that they have NO expectations or intentions... really I say? They, like the group two callers, are NOT successful every time... and yet expect to be successful .. which is why they continue to look and seek. The groups IMO have few real differences... each has belief in methods which are rewarded by anomalous knowledge actualization.... seemingly for human benefit for one group and for NO REASON at all to the other.

Both of the above groups - the callers and the technology seekers - seemingly have a limited time-frame in which their own locality `yields' those anomalous seemingly conscious lights in the sky. Something ONLY someone like myself would know having watch the rise and fall of many callers and `hot areas' (one of the members in In The Field FB Group often talks about how her area was HOT a few years ago... these events go in sine-waves IMO -  to on/off - but rarely to never last even 5 years to most folks in most locations). Oh... most of the `tech' folk have been at it so short a time-frame that they may not even realize it will pass too.

IMO - Bruce Duensing got very close to what I'm describing above as `intentionalities' - he called it - Are UAP's A Quantum Detection System? - and IF I'm right - that it is `intentions' mixed with a bit of our local reality conditions and expectations - and that it is repeatable and demonstrable (like some of the callers like Dean Clark have shown) - then a perfect reason for the authorities to discourage this type of info becoming widespread is one of my old and favorite blog posts called The Danger Of A Billion Magicians.... read both the above links if you dare to rock your UFOlogy thinking to the core.

Again.... both of the above groups have some folks with HUNDREDS of videos ..... of Orbs. The anomalous. That they have seen. Don't tell them otherwise...... But, IMO... both of those groups combined are probably just 1% of the 1% who have ever had an UFO phenomena perception. A literal sliver of a sliver.... folks who in all reality are not going to attract the MSM..... for fear of what it would mean to both `other' 99%'s.

Okay... a quick and final look at group three ... with Philosophers like William Dudley Bass..... and heady folks of all kinds. Speaking of `heady folks' .... I have to say I was quite flattered to have William say these things about me and my mind in his post... see the below: Again from William's post Here... IF You Didn't Read It Already

There is more to a psychological, synergistic/synchronicity/spiritual component, too.

I saw this after watching alleged whistleblower Corey Goode being interviewed by David Wilcock on the latter’s Cosmic Disclosure presentation on Gaiam TV. Been reading and researching a lot on the UFO literature from opposing ends of the spectrum, from Dr. Michael Salla and whistleblowers such as Corey Goode and Clark C. McClelland on one hand and Disclosure Clock Countdown man Rick Phillips, iconoclastic guy who reminds me of Gurdjieff’s take on reality.

Phillips turns everything upside down as he discombobulates conventional interpretations of UFO phenomena and perturbs conditioned ideas regarding news, mass media, and alternative media. He pulls aside the sheets of paper diagrammed with carefully researched flowcharts of the Cabal to reveal the air and the imaginations beneath as gas and mind, themselves possibly projections of greater holographic dramas unfolding in the software code of consciousness for two billion years or more.

Having dealt with lots of weird stuff, and after he challenged himself to think deeper upon his experiences of observations and the power of the conscious mind, indeed to reflectupon reflections, Rick Phillips discerned a common “UFO motif” behind “99% of UFO experiences.” Using motifs as linked successions “of notes producing a single impression,” he determined the most common UFO motif is “a vigorous plasma Orb that catches one’s attention” and then morphs into “structured” shapes, morphs again, morphs into recognizable patterns, then “passes out of perception.” Passes out of perception, and perception is as much mental as physical. More importantly, Phillips notes such experiences tend to be localized and are usually “tied to intentionalities on the ground and with humans.” I would add human personalities, as in UFO experiences are “tied to intentionalities and” personalities as well as interpretations by everyday consciousness minds streaming mindlessly as radio signals stream thru radios without considering the power of consciousness to morph perception, intention, and personality.

Okay - I'm blushing... being compared to one of my hero's of thought - Gurdjieff

And, I won't go into Williams FINE ANALYSIS of the possibilities he experienced - please read his entire piece - as I would be nearly in agreement with all his main conjectures. I do think the fine minds are tuning into something that is a version of the truth of the anomalous.

Anyway... back to seeing `too many UFOs' - early in 2015 I had the same feeling. I had taken to looking closely with high powered binoculars at the Chemtrails in our collective skies - especially on the few Carolina Blue sky days after the passing of weather fronts. Because on several occasions I've seen `strange things going on in or around' Chemtrails... from movement of something `down' the Chemtrail from the `plane'... to an Orb on more than one occasion. And, in one week after such occurrences...saw TWO Orbs..(one each time) by simply scanning the skies with my binoculars.

My thoughts were ---- IS THIS POSSIBLE? 

It's a bit unnerving IMO. Hilariously, I don't consider myself in any of the three groups.... just reflecting on reflections..... Thanks for the stimulus Mr. Bass.

The Death Of Thinker Bruce Duensing

I'm pretty sure that I first became aware of Bruce Duensing via the website The Anomalist..... at the time Rick Stokes was the newest editor.... and he and Patrick H. had taken an interest in my writings at The Heavy Stuff and shortly thereafter Bruce's writings in his first blog. Stokes once told me back in 2009-2010 that it always was a good day for TA when they could carry both links by Bruce and myself..... as we both offered the most flipped out of thinking and theory concerning the anomalous.

Bruce and I started a blog based on the concept of `a C Influence'... one of the tenets of Gurdjieff's belief system.... you seldom find someone with as broad an approach to the whole consciousness discussion as what Bruce could bring to the table.. and in that regard his knowledge was far superior to mine. We also were authors in the same book by Robert Cheatham in 2012. And, as regular readers know - I linked frequently to BD's mental blog posts... 14 times here alone.

My blogpost here in 2013 identified Bruce as one of the Great Thinkers and Writers About The Anomalous but even that pales in comparison to the incredible insights I covered of Bruce's here concerning ORBs... and you know how important ORBs are to the whole of UFOlogy.... Has Duensing Figured Out Orb Actualization?...... the man was a genius. He will be sorely missed by a field that lacks the basics in Phenomenology thinking and critical analysis.

Finally - you can read a bit more about BD here in my Facebook Post Of Yesterday if you wish.

In Search Of The Miraculous - Esoteric

UDCC will take a slight diversion today into another dimension - put on your afterburners - time for a Sunday ride into the country, like in the good ole days.
========================
The title of today's post, is the title of a book by P.D. Ouspensky written many many years ago - *(before your mother was born) - about his search for `esoteric' knowledge held by humans here on planet Earth. What he found was the supposed esoteric knowledge of G.I. Gurdjieff - who elaborated on many `truths' about mankind and his condition within the world and universe. Indeed, Ouspensky found his miracle which he described with just five words on page 261 that I will never forget:

`And then, the miracle began.'
-----------------------
I'm going to get back to Ouspensky momentarily - but - the phrase `In Search Of The Miraculous' (ISOTM) certainly can be applied to the whole field of anomalous actualization's from UFOs to Bigfoot, Ghosts and beyond - perhaps. `Imagined' or not - when humans come across some `space' of what I call `the able to not be' - within them or around them - it may seem that the word `miracle' is the only word that is appropriate.

I think of Blossom Goodchild believing she was being told a `alien contact date'. I think of the exopolitics folks being convinced that a web bot was suggesting Nov. 27th, 2009 as a `alien contact date'. I think of Stanley Fulham and his `special contacts mentally' which brought to him a process of `alien contact dates'. And on and on and on.

I am of the belief the some events are miraculous - to the singular human observer/experiencer. Events that are embedded with the quality of `real' as humans think they experience it. But which, are events that simply `cannot continue' within our phenomenological structure upon the loss of a certain quality associated with their space actualization.

For Ouspensky, like Goodchild and probably like Stanley - `the other' `spoke' `within them'. An other that somehow one was able to objectively separate from our own internal space/body/actualization. Something, that when it happens, almost compels one to `report' about it.
------------------------
But, back to I-SO-TM, - today I was looking at the reviews of the book on Amazon (link later) and wanted to feature a few of them:
First, the Amazon Description:
 Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous has been hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of G. I. Gurdjieff's thoughts and universal view. This historic and influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from teacher to student. Gurdjieff's goal, to introduce the Work to the West, attracted many students, among them Ouspensky, an established mathematician, journalist, and, with the publication of In Search of the Miraculous, an eloquent and persuasive proselyte.

Ouspensky describes Gurdjieff's teachings in fascinating and accessible detail, providing what has proven to be a stellar introduction to the universal view of both student and teacher. It goes without saying that In Search of the Miraculous has inspired great thinkers and writers of ensuing spiritual movements, including Marianne Williamson, the highly acclaimed author of A Return to Love and Illuminata. In a new and never-before-published foreword, Williamson shares the influence of Ouspensky's book and Gurdjieff's teachings on the New Thought movement and her own life, providing a contemporary look at an already timeless classic.
-------------------
First, an admission; I first became aware of O and G from the book called `The Fourth Way' - as potentially an `esoteric' book as you are ever likely to encounter, that led to reading many works by O and a couple more by G. These are books, as the Amazon description above said - inspire folks. Inspire folks to think that their brain can be organized in perhaps a different manner than what is normal accepted.

Indeed, these books inspired a `movement' (with devotees probably like those who ascribe to the coming Thrive Movement perhaps) of folks that EXIST TO THIS DAY - who get together in almost cult like groups to `practice' THE WORK. ----- Yes, the esoteric thought about ones mind for folks following O and G is called `The Work'.

I know, I went to a few `meetings'. Or. This one knows, this one went to a few meetings.

You see, you are forbidden to use the word `I' when attending one of these meetings and are `reminded' EVERY time one speaks in such a manner. And, it really, meaning `the work', IMO, is built upon building awareness via following certain guidelines (and understanding the reasons behind how they build awareness-consciousness). And, as one into the whole consciousness saga, I enjoyed nearly all of O's and G's readings I came across or could find.
--------------------
The book ISOTM has over 70 Amazon reviews and the average is nearly a FIVE - it's that good a read. Nonetheless, here's some reviewers words:
The core of the "work" is a powerful methodology, but no more so than, say, vipassana, zen, dzogchen or other solid, meditation-based tradition. There is nothing about the fourth way that is any more "esoteric" than these other traditions (that's right, nothing). The biggest difference is that Gurdjieff left behind a legacy of fraudulent teachers and cults, whereas there are many Buddhist and other groups that are reliable. (Certainly, Buddhist and other groups, being made up of people, have their flaws, and there are things to be learned in some (not all!) Gurdjieff groups, but decades of hard-won experience allows me to say that the Gurdjieff tradition is peculiar in attracting power-hungry charlatans who exploit the "rascal sage" idea to gather suckers around themselves. It happens in other traditions, but there, it tends to end in disgrace. In fourth way groups, duping people seems to be a point of pride.) Even groups that are not necessarily exploitative or fraudulent tend to attract people who especially like the idea of being "esoteric," to use a term Ouspensky used, but which was far more appropriate eighty years ago than it is today.
---------------------------
At the very end of his life, Ouspensky seemed to repudiate "the System", as he understood it, although glassy-eyed disciples in that time and this try to rationalize that fact away. Perhaps he realized that any systematic approach to developing our consciousness is impossible, since if we are on a road with a known destination that destination can only be our own projection of what we imagine it to be. No matter. The ability of this man Ouspensky to think systematically was indeed his great strength, and it lent all his writing a clarity and throughness simply unmatched in all of twentieth century "occultism". Nowhere did he need it more than in this reporting of the early teachings of Gurdjieff, when that particular unique idiot was at the zenith of his own development.
---------------------------
 discovered this amazing gem in a used book store and interestingly read it at the same time I read Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions". I couldn't possibly heap too much praise on either of these books. Both are life-transforming for those of a scientific bent, and for others too. I opened Ouspensky at random and started reading about the distribution of knowledge among people. He cured me of untold anxiety concerning why so few people have a clue when he said that knowledge has power only to the extent it is concentrated in a few people, how the mass of humanity freely discards what little knowledge is allotted them, and particularly how at certain times humanity discards vast amounts of knowledge in favor of mass insanity.
-----------------------------
So, yes, I'm using the bully pulpit to push some `knowledge' at you. LOL. As I know that when UDCC did our focus on those who follow this blog - many have an esoteric bent. So, IF you are not familiar with O and G and you have been warned that the knowledge may make you join a cultlike train of thought - then you are approved to dig into any of the offerings below.
