Yet there are a few dynamics at play here we would all do well to examine more closely and objectively. Not unlike John "Val Valerian" Grace and his Magnum Opus, the Leading Edge Research Site at www.trufax.org, Sam has assembled a great many pieces of the puzzle into a fairly homogenous (i.e. "corresponding in structure because of a common origin"), cogent synthesis which centers on the notions of a Valleean "control system" equipped with various tentacles which exists almost hydra-like behind the scenes of our conscious awareness; our ever-so-fragile consensus reality. >From FEMA to fluoridation; from aspartame to aliens; from Masons (i.e. Frere Macons) to Machiavellianism, Sam has cobbled together a remarkably poignant and robust synthesis which forces us all to reexamine what remains hidden from our conscious awareness in surprisingly plain sight. And we laugh at him and call him a "nut." Yet only because there is too much truth in it all -- it makes us nervous and unsettled and, like little children out on the schoolyard, we deprecate him because he causes us to see those things about ourselves and our "reality" which we would rather pretend do not exist. The scientologist Ingo Swann coined a most intriguing phrase in regards to PSI/RV stuff. When anot quite fit into the viewer's own perceptual matrix, there is a strong temptation to reconstruct the data and mash it into a box which makes more "psense" to us. He termed this tautological perceptual artifact "analytical overlay." And what a remarkably poignant phrase, that! When we perceive otherdimensional intelligences, for example, we simply cannot understand them so we dress them in our own preferred costumes of analytical overlay, calling them Martians or Zeta Reticulans or other such nonsense, simply because of our own latter 20th century cultural inculcation. And when confronted with exceptionally clever non-human intelligences which introduce new metaprogramming; new memes into our perceptual matrices, we cannot admit to ourselves the entities are -- as Brother McKenna so astutely remarked -- "not only stranger than we currently imagine but stranger than we currently CAN imagine." No, such admissions are simply out of the question to us more "rational" types so we hastily sweep them under the rug, hoping against hope that we can shield the sight not only from others but from ourselves as well. For it is far too uncomfortable for us to admit there may be others about who -- in their fourth, fifth or sixth density levels of reality -- are as far advanced above us as we third density types are advanced above second density animals or first density rocks or trees on the scale of "density"-based consciousness. So we play the silly game of "skepticism." TRUE skepticism maintains an untainted objectivity when confronting the inexplicable. Yet we are not truly skeptics in the pure sense of the definition. In fact, as an almost absurd caricature of skeptics, we've reduced ourselves to playing Paranormal Policeman; immediately arresting and incarcerating anyone who challenges our fundamental perceptions of the nature of "reality." "So, anyway, you know good and well, it would be beyond the will of God... and the grace of the king." -Brother Jimi, _Electric Ladyland_ Some in these groups are keenly aware of the interstitial analogues at play. For every Outer Order, there is an Inner Order; for every exterior level of Initiation, there is an ethereal counterpart, etc. "There is a feeling that I get in the course of my investigations of being in the presence of a form of consciousness that is truly remarkable. That consciousness has a great sense of absurdity, and also a great sense of humor. The bottom line is that I feel that I've learned something out of this whole exercise, and as long as I'm continuing to learn something I'm going to continue to do it." -Frater Jacques Vallee, Brotherhood of Galactic Science Yet not unlike a freeway, there are a multitude of "offramps" along the way -- offramps which inevitably tempt us all on our various initiatory paths. When we are too shaken; too disturbed to carry on along the path, we seek the refuge of a "rest stop" which offers some of the amenities that connect us back to a simpler time; a time before we were so rudely awakened to what Col. Do Ware has seminally termed the "larger reality." And so we sit in our overheated vehicles, drinking in the scenic view at the rest stop; and slamming a couple cold ones, perhaps, to gird our loins for the remainder of the journey. We sit idly by in these occasional detours, drenching ourselves with analytical overlay in a futile attempt to comfort our troubled consciousness, yet the farther we've proceeded down the path, the more irrelevant and inconsequential our former comforts become. And we psee (PSI + sight) almost in disgust that we can no longer in good conscience abide at these way-stations provided solely for our comfort, at the expense of our edification. So we turn the key, start the engine, and proceed to the onramp, to pick up precisely where we left off before our own fears compelled us to take the damn offramp in the first place. We learn from it and move on. Yet the further we progress, the easier it is to shed such culturally inculcated and reinforced memes -- such absurd notions as "Martians flying around in space ships" or "guvmint mindcontrol black ops" or "Freemasonic Illuminati Bilderberg CFR Tri-Lats." For such indeed are little more than artifacts of our desperate attempts to remain in blissful ignorance via our terrified wielding of the protective mechanics of analytical overlay. Yet some of us -- SOME of us -- remember how to laugh at the Universal Joke, whilst simultaneously weeping o'er the Universal Sorrow, while on deeper, more subtle levels of awareness we neither laugh nor weep. Nor do we mean what we say.
