u/jeff0 · 16 pointsr/UFOs

Yesterday, at around 5pm EST, Wolf Blitzer said on CNN that Obama would be making an announcement about space aliens. I wasn't paying much attention to the TV, so I asked my girlfriend for confirmation that she had heard the same thing (which she had). From what I can tell, CNN has made no mention if it since, and I can't find any references to this announcement on the net (though perhaps my Google-fu is weak).

This comes at a time of personal significance to me. I had an interest in UFOs/aliens when I was about 12, but during the 15 years since I've shifted to a rather skeptical position. Last weekend, I started reading RA Wilson's Cosmic Trigger. I decided to allow my skepticism to lapse somewhat as I read this, and suddenly I'm thinking a lot about UFOs/aliens. Shortly afterwards, astronaut Edgar Mitchell was in the news, talking about his belief in UFOs/aliens. And now this.

Am I being paranoid? Am I just starting to "see the Fnords" (in the Illuminatus! parlance)? Or is our collective conscience being eased into a big announcement about aliens?

Thanks for reading my nutty post :)

I think your desire isn't all that uncommon. The idea that if you are able to communicate with a definitive non-corporeal "other" it'd be proof of a life/world beyond ours and then we'd feel a lot more comfortable with ideas such as death. I'll point out some texts that might help guide you but first some pointers.

  1. It's really, very difficult to prove the objective existence of anything outside of yourself. For example, nightly you likely have interactions with seeming entities that have personalities and actions completely detached from your own consciousness (I'm talking about dreaming). Should you get some sort of actual experience with "other worldly" beings I'd be willing to bet you'll end up with more questions than answers as to it's true nature.

  2. I'm sorry to hear about your health issues but it's important to not dive to heavily into your psychedelics without a bit of training/experience. Learn some meditiation and hopefully it'll help with your day-to-day stress as well. I'm not saying that you can't/shouldn't try out the psychedelic experience but be smart about it and don't go into it trying to "force" the experience. Just let it happen. You might not have the sort of experience you expect, but still might gain some important insight that will bring you calm and peace.

  3. Should you contact something "other" don't take that experience too seriously. There world is full of weird other things and not all of them will be useful to you. If at all possible it's best to approach these experiences with a sense of humor and confidence.

    So to this end I recommend the following books:

    Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson. I can't recommend this enough. It's Robert Anton Wilson telling stories about and giving insights into his own diving into the world of occultism, psychedelics and general weirdness.

    Oven ready chaos by Phil Hine - Free online via his site More of a practical how-to for modern occultism. Again, good knowledge and good humor.

    Pacts with the Devil by Christopher Hyatt and Jason Black. Ok, I'm not actually encouraging you to make a pact with any entity for starters, but this book is very good if somewhat hokey at times. There's some workable ritual in it, but mostly I think you'll be interested in the sections where the authors talk about their own experiences working with spirits.

    Anyway, I am wishing you the best, feel free to message me if you have any questions. I hope you find the answers you need.

I recommend reading the Cosmic Trigger series by Robert Anton Wilson.

It's also easy enough to find a PDF of it if you look around.

The books are all about those subjective paths to truth he calls 'Reality Tunnels'. Give it a read.

"Cosmic Trigger" by Robert Anton Wilson.

Although I read it when there was just the one, not Volume One :)

u/chumprock · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Cosmic Trigger: Robert Anton Wilson was a bit of a mindfuck.

u/dumbasswaiter · 2 pointsr/softscience

Cosmic Trigger - Robert Anton Wilson has provided me with lots of entertainment and also trajectories for things to learn about in the future. Read it 10 years ago and it shaped a great deal of the things that I am into now.

OP this is the last website to ask questions regarding anything that is beyond tangible.


Anyway, of everything I've read on such subjects this book helped me the most, and I highly recommend it, (to everyone.) Disregard the name, (Final Secret of the Illuminati), it's tongue-in-cheek and you'll get the joke once you finish.

Also, here is a used copy if you're broke.

I'm merely pointing out one possibility however it's the possibility I believe has the highest probability of being true. You're trying to ask me what has influenced me in this direction. I would have to tell you it has to do with direct experience with phenomena that falls outside the realm of everyday ordinary reality. To go into it here would make too many people uncomfortable and since it was my direct experience it is not something easily provable or transferable. In other words I could tell you but you'd never believe me and I'd have no way to prove it, so I might as well not even go there.

I can however furnish you with reading material that may eventually help you have your own direct experience of non-ordinary reality which might lead to your own revelations.

some of these links will be amazon links but I'm not getting paid by them no worries.

You can do it with buddhist meditation here is a decent guidebook: http://www.interactivebuddha.com/mctb.shtml

You could always just go the lazy route and eat 6 grams of dried psilocybe cubensis alone in a silent dark room. I hear that works for a lot of people but it's not really what I'm into. :)

good luck!

"Cosmic Trigger" - Robert Anton Wilson

>I definitely like being in a relationship but it doesnt make me feel happier ot more manly. Although it is satisfying to be able to have someone to share with.

Really?


lol tell you what. stop masturbating and read the cosmic trigger books from robert anton wilson.

http://www.amazon.com/Cosmic-Trigger-Final-Secret-Illuminati/dp/1561840033/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395442048&sr=8-1&keywords=cosmic+trigger+robert+anton+wilson

Grab all three of the series and read them in order. They're not what they look like. The author was an engineer and psychologist and a really famous author in his time. his books also spawned it's own subculture, if you can call it that. discordianism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism


You'll do yourself a favour if you stop the masturbation. If you have a girlfriend, it will improve your sex-life, because you'll be more horny. More animal.You'll also be more proud of yourself after sex, (the manliness I mentioned), which is triggered by a testosterone push. (just like a goal hitting football player, for example)


It's also economics. Being able to have it at will, whenever, drops the value to rockbottom.


This, of course, only works if you don't and can't sex whenever you two want.


Read these books. Follow my advice. Your life will change and your question will be answered.


If you don't believe it ... try it and prove me wrong.



You're welcome.
