Posting this here because it was removed from r/UFOs for supposed proselytizing. I removed any references and language that might suggest such a thing, this is simply a discussion of a model of the universe that explains this phenomena:
Original post:
Not a usual redditor but I felt compelled to write this post. If I broke some rules in posting this, I’d appreciate some guidance on where and how to post this without having it removed.
In this post I will demonstrate a model of the universe that explains the phenomena. I will demonstrate how anyone can understand this phenomena using publicly available sources and knowledge. Anyone can understand this phenomena without the need for “disclosure”, declassified records, or governmental or scientific consensus, and I would argue that it has already been understood and explained through countless perspectives throughout human history.
I will also attempt to explain this phenomena without invoking religion, since I recently tried explaining it to a relative and I “lost” them when I tied this to our existing conceptions of God.
I am recommending four books that will explain different aspects of this phenomena (from the scientific, spiritual, psychological perspectives), and many of the concepts I’m sharing here derive from those sources:
Reading Recommendations:
Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness – Most of this post will contain ideas presented in this book. This is the clearest explanation of a model of the universe that includes “consciousness” as a driving mechanism of the evolution of the universe. Best resource for those that need a “strictly” scientific perspective, but keep in mind that the author also addresses scientifically taboo subjects like telepathy, ghosts, and spirits. Sacred Nature: How We Can Recover Our Bond with the Natural World – This book is more of a call to arms about the climate crisis, but it contains many examples of the spiritual and religious interpretations of nature that humans have had across numerous cultures. This perspective is important because, as we will see, connectedness is a fundamental feature of this model of the universe, and its something that countless cultures have discovered independently throughout human history, as demonstrated throughout the book. How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence – This book focuses primarily on psychedelics, their effects on the human brain, and interpretations of consciousness. This book is fundamental for understanding how our brains perceive reality, and how we’re able to alter our perception of reality by stimulating certain neural processes. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment – Finally, I won’t be talking much about the ideas presented in this book, but instead I’m recommending it for anyone that has NEVER dabbled in meditation, prayer, or mind altering substances. This book is a simple guide to “getting started,” its a very easy read, albeit a bit repetitive. The repetitive nature of this book creates an experience of rhythmic patterns, like the recitation of a prayer or mantra, and this in turn can have a very powerful effect on the reader. I recommend this book to anyone that is intrigued by the ideas in this post and wants to begin “testing” this theory for themselves.
These book recommendations are my selection. They are not the only sources of this knowledge, and as you’ll see, they are not unique ideas and you’re probably familiar with some version of this.
The theory:
Observable properties of the Universe:
The universe is expanding. Space and Time are treated as the same mathematical principle in our understanding of the universe. There is no distinction between the two. (Spacetime) The expansion of the universe can be traced back to a single point in Spacetime, this is known as the singularity. (Initial singularity) All the mass of the universe was concentrated in this one point in Spacetime. During the Big Bang, all matter dispersed instantly in all directions. (Relativistic Doppler effect) The dispersal of matter created the illusion of time. (i.e. Matter moves across a dimensional plane, in this case, the void that exists at the edge of our expanding universe. As matter moves and expands into the void, it creates space within the dimensional plane. Time is the illusion of the multiple “nodes” that matter has occupied in the newly created space (nodes are moments in time). In other words, you can pinpoint any location or node of matter’s trajectory within this dimensional plane, and the location of that node corresponds with the illusion of time. Travel “back and forth” along the trajectory of that matter, and you are essentially traveling through time along the path of matters’ trajectory. This one is important: All matter in the universe can be reduced to smaller units (atoms, subatomic particles, quantum particles). The behavior of quantum particles holds the secret to the mechanics of the universe, and its my personal belief that what keeps most people in a state of denial about the phenomena is their inability to reconcile the behavior of matter at different scales.
Quantum particles.
Quantum particles make up ALL of matter. Quantum particles exhibit behaviors that matter does not exhibit at the macro-scale (i.e. planets, stars). They behave like waves AND particles. (Wave-particle duality) This is a fundamental property of the universe for understanding the phenomena. Particles behave like waves when they are not directly being observed, yet they behave like particles when being observed. (Double-slit experiment). THIS POINT IS VERY IMPORTANT. They exhibit nonlocality (Quantum nonlocality), meaning that quantum particles interact with each other instantly and at seemingly great distances. (I.e. the particles in your body are in direct communication with and react to other particles that are “outside” of your body). Nonlocality also results in Quantum Entanglement. Entanglement happens when quantum particles form groups that interact, and the effects on one particle affects the whole group instantly. These are four examples of scientific observations that have uncomfortable philosophical implications. I’ll explain later why I think they are uncomfortable for most scientists, but they are observable, replicable scientific observations that underly the entire phenomena.
Consciousness.
This is where it gets interesting, and where you might struggle to reconcile this information with your existing concept of the universe and of yourself. I’ll be returning to some of the other points established in the previous sections. Now its necessary to define another important phenomena in the universe, consciousness. I’ll use Itzhak Bentonv’s definition, he is the author of the first book I recommended.
Consciousness is an observable phenomena in the universe. It is the “animating mechanism of all matter”. It helps if you think of consciousness as a mechanism, strip away all of your preconceived notions including any metaphysical or spiritual connotations of the word. At the root, consciousness is still an observable property of the universe. Bentov describes consciousness as “Matter’s response to stimulation”, and its important to understand that ALL matter exhibits this property. All of the matter in the universe is made up of the same quantum particles. All quantum particles exhibit observable responses to stimulation, therefore, all states of matter in the universe exhibit consciousness. Scale is what hides this fact about the universe, because when we see a rock for example, it appears as if its not moving or reacting to outside stimulation, when in reality a rock is a complex structure of subatomic particles that are constantly in motion and interacting with other subatomic particles around it. Consciousness permeates all the matter in the universe ever since the Big Bang.
The Big Bang, Waves, and Particles:
This section will explain a model of the Big Bang that created a holographic, multidimensional universe. Bentov theorizes that consciousness was highly concentrated at the time of the Initial Singularity. This is the result of all the matter in the universe being concentrated in a single point on a dimensional plane. The Big Bang scattered all of the matter in the universe in every direction instantly. Matter, composed of the smallest observable units, or quantum particles, went in every direction, filled up all of spacetime. The “trajectory” that all of matter took covered every possible node on the dimensional plane all at once and behaved BOTH AS A WAVE AND AS A PARTICLE. This is the key! The result of the matter in the universe traversing the dimensional plane in a wave-like pattern created an infinite number of configurations of all the matter in the universe. When we observe matter, we materialize ONE possible configuration of that matter. Essentially, this is the double-slit experiment on a macroscale. You are not only observing a single quantum particle, you are observing the entire collection of quantum particles that creates the matter of the universe, therefore those particles, upon observation, materialize into an experience that is subjective to you, the observer. Matter travelled across the entirety of the universe in waves. These waves behave like actual waves, with vibrational frequencies and interference patterns. We experience this on a daily basis (Sound and Light travel in waves, and our biological senses perceive the changes in their frequency as different sounds and colors). But we also experience these waves in more subtle ways that we might not be aware of. These waves created the different “dimensions”, realm-like layers of the universe, where matter is literally doing everything, everywhere, all at once. The different layers of the universe are encoded in the different vibrational patterns of all of its matter. The observer, you, affects the configuration of matter, in turn, the configuration of reality. You have evolved ways to sense these waves, and your perception of reality is entirely dependent on your ability to sense and interpret the sensable waves around you, but it is also limited in this way. Imagine being an archaic human with less evolved senses that’s unable to see the same color spectrum as a modern day human or hear the same frequency of sounds. Your perception of reality is limited to your senses, you might only see a few colors and hear limited sounds. Now imagine the opposite. You’re more highly evolved than today’s humans and you can not only see the color spectrum that you’re familiar with today, but you can see everything in the Ultraviolet and Infrared spectrum, and you can also sense radio and electromagnetic waves. Imagine the things you would see and how different your reality would look, you might even be able to “see” the flow of information sent over the internet, materializing in the sky and in the air. You are experiencing a configuration of matter that is limited to your biological senses. Matter is literally doing everything all at once, and your biological senses only allows you to view matter through a small window. Reality, as you perceive it, is quite literally the Double-slit experiment on a macroscale. Everything happening outside of your perception (limited by your biology and vibrational state) is still there, its still occupying spacetime as a vibrational frequency of quantum particles. You are also limited and tethered to this reality by the collective consciousness of all the matter around you. That is to say, this reality is materialized by all of us, and is in a state of Inertia. You cannot walk through a wall or teleport across distances because the matter in your perceived reality has been set in motion long before you arrived on the scene. I’ll return to this point later when I talk about manifesting.
Universal consciousness:
The themes in this section are challenging for people that take a strictly materialist, empirical, or atheistic view of the universe. Its my belief that the rejection of these themes comes from a scientific establishment that rejects the wisdom of societies that existed before the Enlightenment. This includes laymen and everyday people, and it comes from an attitude of superiority towards pre-modern and religious societies. We essentially ignore the conclusions that resemble those religious explanations of the past, and scientists such as Neil deGrasse Tyson have fallen for the complacent “humble ignorance” argument (“We need more evidence, we may never truly know”) as long as they don’t have to entertain ideas that resemble explanations that challenge their materialist worldviews. According to Bentov, consciousness can be measured in terms of Quantity and Quality. More matter, means more consciousness. That’s quantity. The quality of consciousness is determined by the complexity of the structure of matter. Sentient life like animals, plants, and humans have evolved into complex structures with biological tools that are designed to increase the organisms sensory input, and as a result, this alters their perception of reality, and their level of consciousness. The complexity of the brain also allows us to make better sense of this sensory input. The human brain acts as a receiver or amplifier of consciousness (remember, consciousness permeates all of matter, but in this model, it is amplified by our biological tools.) The source of all consciousness is the same source that has existed since the Big Bang. Nothing is created or destroyed.
Cosmic evolution and universal consciousness:
The universe is in a constant state of evolution. Think of the evolution of stars, dust, planets and all the elements that make up the life forms we know of. In this model, universal consciousness learns and evolves as a whole, because it permeates everything. Patterns repeat according to the purported fixed laws of nature. Bentov theorizes that Consciousness is the mechanism of this Cosmic Evolution, like Natural Selection is the driving mechanism for the evolution of species on our planet (at this macroscale, consciousness would also explain Natural Selection). In this model, the universe has already learned of the many possible configurations of matter, and it repeats them wherever the conditions are most fit. Patterns in nature: (lightning strike, human central nervous system, tree roots, cosmic web) The trope “You are a way for the universe to know itself” applies here. In this sense, universal consciousness is actively learning by permeating ALL of matter, at all points in Spacetime, at every frequency, all at once. You are like a crawl-bot for the universal consciousness, experiencing a simulation of the universe to learn more about it. When you die, the matter that makes your body returns to the earth, and your “psyche”, life experiences, knowledge, etc. returns to the universal consciousness. Nothing is ever destroyed. Your perceived reality is a simulation. You are consciousness permeating through a collection of matter experiencing different nodes in Spacetime. You have probably lived countless lifetimes, as many forms of matter. You have experienced the universe as a rock, as dust, as a lifeform on another planet, as a weather pattern, and as countless human beings as we know them. The consciousness that permeates “you” has always been there, animating all of matter in every possible configuration.
The Phenomena:
Humans are in a constant state of vibration, and this is happening at the quantum level. Our perceived reality correlates to our vibrational patterns, and our biology has the ability to alter the state of our vibration. Remember, every possible configuration of matter in the universe is encoded in the vibrational patterns of quantum particles. Your vibrational frequency with align you to the configuration of matter that is subjective to you. Kundalini Yoga is a powerful method of exploring our ability to raise and lower these vibrational frequencies. Psychedelics achieves this too by exciting the brain’s neural pathways in ways that increases our sensitivity to sensory input, in effect, altering our perception of reality. Altered states of reality through meditation, psychedelics, exposure to different vibrational frequencies, or trauma are actually temporarily raising or lowering our senses allowing us to see things that are always there. Aliens, ghosts, witches, goblins, fairies, monsters ETC. are all manifestations of matter from a vibrational frequency outside of our perception and temporarily or permanently being accessed by us. They are as real as you and I. They are consciousness in the universe experiencing a simulation just like you are. You are “tethered” to this perception of reality because your consciousness is “tethered” to the matter that makes you and the central nervous system and brain that acts as an amplifier of your consciousness. Whenever you dream, imagine things, create something, or have some sort of intuition, you brain is accessing information that exists in the universal consciousness. In this way, there is no original thought and no free will (you are, after all, experiencing a simulation in which all the possible outcomes have already been determined). Everything has already happened, and your consciousness is part of the universal consciousness that has already experienced everything. The phenomena is ALL OF THE ABOVE. They are our folklore, they are our cosmic brethren, they are interdimensional beings, they are time travelers. We are experiencing the universal consciousness in other forms, and from other places and layers of our universe. They are also permeated by the same consciousness as we are, as is all the other matter in the universe, and their experience in this simulation is as real to them as it is to us – as it is to the trees and birds and dirt and weather patterns, etc. Consciousness permeates everything.
Manifesting, and where we go from here:
We live in a universe where every possible outcome has already happened. In this simulation, matter still follows the laws of inertia. We must act on matter to change its state. Our actions begin at the quantum level. Thoughts are actions. At the quantum level, your consciousness is moving the matter in your brain, and those effects ripple throughout the universe, altering vibrational frequencies beyond the supposed confines of your brain. Our perceived reality is the manifestation of our collection consciousness. We are literally manifesting the world around us. (This is why everything about the world seems so polarized right now… Republican vs Democrat, Israel vs Hamas, Russia vs Ukraine. The state of the world is a reflection of our collective state of mind. Its ugly right now, but the more YOU become emotionally invested in everything happening around the world, the more of the same we are collectively manifesting) The universe has encoded within it every possible outcome, and also every possible path to that outcome starting at the big bang. Our reality will always make sense, because depending on how we perceive it, matter with reconfigure into something that make sense, including all cosmological and biological processes that will lead up to that result. This is why the phenomena has always appeared to change throughout human history. Our ancestors interacted with this phenomena in the form of angels, giants, grim reapers, etc. It was a direct reflection of the society of that time, and their state of consciousness and sensory perception of reality. The phenomena appears as highly advanced and technological. This is a reflection of our post-industrial, post-enlightenment view of the world. The technology that this phenomena possesses is irrelevant. Their higher state of consciousness is what is more important and what allows it to have more agency in terms of how they interact with us. Our human ancestors experienced this phenomena in other forms that used the existing collective consciousness in their societies to manifest into something logical for that time. You don’t need disclosure, all of this knowledge is easily obtainable. I suspect that this is how Tom Delonge, or others without access to classified materials have reached these conclusions independently. Where we go from here depends on the collective consciousness of our species. We can literally manifest an alien invasion if our collection minds make it happen. Or we can manifest a Star Trek-esque future of a galactic federation full of space exploration, peace on earth, etc. ALL OF IT is possible. We are living in the biggest Choose Your Own Adventure series. You don’t need the rest of humanity to manifest peace. Think of the picture of the Buddhist monk that has self immolated. He is not his body. He is not in that place experiencing that death. He has transported his consciousness somewhere else. Even if humanity manifests the apocalypse, world war three, or an alien invasion, your state of mind is your most powerful weapon. You are not your body and your experiences. Those experiences are universal. You are the same consciousness as everything and everybody else, and the sense of separateness is an illusion. Death is not important, you are not your material body, and when you die, you return to the universe everything that it provided “you”. Nothing is ever destroyed
