Summer Harvest

This essay is one of my favorites from the old fantastic planet site, if for no other reason than it pulls together so many weird threads. Though the “Jeff Gannon/Johnny Gosch” thing eventually fizzled, it nonetheless provided an excellent catalyst for dozens and dozens of “strange attractors,” articles on this site and others than ran rampant with speculation and the occasional burst of insight. Again, I apologize for any broken links. Otherwise, enjoy!

“It is frightfully difficult to know much about the fairies, and almost the only thing known for certain is that there are fairies wherever there are children. — J.M. Barrie

Okay, this is one of those “down the rabbit hole” posts that some people may want to skip over. This isn’t so much anything with radical conclusions, just some strange connexions that I’ve noticed that really give one pause to think.

Regular readers of Rigorous Intuition are already familiar with the idea of ritual child abuse, and its possible connection to the UFO phenomenon. Essentially, pursuing the Jeff Gannon/Johnny Gosch story (excellently summarized on new world border) seems to lead one into an incredibly tangled web of weirdness and Archonic misdeeds within the recent (past few decades) history of world governments (especially the U.S. and Australia).

In an excellent article, Tim looks at the Michael Jackson myth in the context of ritual abuse, finding a series of strange leads centered around his personal magician, “Majestic/k Magnificent,” who, Tim speculates, may be some CIA Project Monarch “minder” for Jackson. Tim also draws a connection to Uri Geller (yes, the spoon-bending dude), long suspected of having connections to the CIA, FBI and Mossad. See Tim’s article for the sourcing.

I want to look at Geller for a moment within the broader context of things. First of all, what most people don’t realize is that Geller claims that his powers and abilities come to him via transmissions from a super-computer on an orbiting spaceship (a satellite) called SPECTRA. Geller gained noteriety not on his own, but through the machinations of his own personal Rasputin, Andrija Puharich. Puharich had claimed contact with a mysterious group of entities called “The Council of Nine,” who claimed, in typical fashion, the desire to usher in a new age of human consciousness. He hooked up with a number of individuals in the UFO conactee movement of the 50’s, whose own channeling experiences seemed to verify his Council of Nine, and took up a career in parapsychology, “discovering” Geller in 1971.

After some initial explorations into Geller’s powers and some basic channeling, Puharich and Geller received the following message:

Andrija, you shall take care of Uri. Take good care of him. He is in a very delicate situation. He is the only one for the next fifty years to come. We are going to be very, very far away. Spectra, Spectra, Spectra: That is our spacecraft.

SPECTRA continued to relay messages, often using the radio to communicate:

I was shocked to find that every radio station but one was blocked out by a tone signal. I assumed that this was some radio alert system such as the Conelrad system in the United States. One station at dial 860 kc setting continued to play American music with Hebrew commentary. After about ten minutes of this I called up Uri to ask him what was going on. He checked his radio and reported that all stations were operating normally. He suggested, half in jest, that maybe Spectra was teaching me some lessons in science. After about fifteen minutes of this strange radio effect, all the radio stations came through with their regular programs. Although I was not aware of it then, I was to learn in time that this was, indeed, a science lesson, the first of many.

Eventually, Geller and Puharich even concluded that they had to go to the Dead Sea:

Uri decided that we must go on to the Dead Sea. On the way there we cheered our somber hearts with loud singing. As we neared the Dead Sea, I told my friends the story of how I had come here almost two years ago and first felt the magic of Israel. To reinforce the story we went to the area of Qumran. I then told them the story of the Teacher of Righteousness who was also Jewish, but more in the tradition of one of the orthodox sects that they knew. The idea of the war between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness touched Uri. He said, “Doesn’t ‘Spectra’ mean light, like my name means light?”
I said, “Yes, it does. Maybe this is what the Essenes were doing here in the desert - watching for signs from a Spectra.”

Now, here’s where things get even more interesting. We have a superintelligent satellite beaming messages to a recipient on Earth. We have said intelligence communicating through the radio. We have a secret group of desert mystics awaiting “light.”

Philip K. Dick described the exact same things.

I just finished reading Lawrence Sutin’s biography of Dick, Divine Invasions, so a lot of this is from memory and without sources. I’ll try to find online references, but I may not be able to find them for every aspect of this little overview.

Regular readers know that Dick described VALIS as a satellite. In “Radio Free Albemuth,” it’s an actual, physical satellite that scientists shoot out of the sky. In VALIS, it appears in a movie as what looks like a discarded can in the street (the God in the trash strata).

After his mystical experiences, Dick also received messages via radio:

Dick also picked up strange signals from electronic devices, and for a time he received “die messages” from the radio. This should be no surprise; radios, stereos and TVs feature prominently in a number of his novels, where the war of signal and noise often takes on metaphysical connotations. But Dick’s paranoia could turn itself inside-out and become divine intervention, and once when listening to the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever,” the strawberry-pink light informed him that his son Christopher was about to die. Rushing the kid to their physician, Dick discovered that the child indeed had a potentially fatal inguinal hernia, and was soon wheeled into the operating room.

In The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, the title character goes into the Dead Sea desert in search of evidence that the community at Qumran received secret knowledge via some kind of living information in the form of psychedelics. Timothy Archer is based on Episcopal Bishop James Pike, a very close friend of Phil’s, and himself someone who claimed contact with spirits in similar fashion to the channelers mentioned above. Pike, indeed, was lost in the desert near the Dead Sea and never returned.

Indeed, Geller and Dick’s experiences seem pretty parallel. But, now’s where it gets *really* weird.

Phil Dick was one paranoid guy. He had plenty of reason to be, of course; he was peripherally involved in 60’s drug culture, associated with “leftists,” generally opposed the Black Iron Prison. In 1971, someone broke into his home and blew into a safe with explosives and stole a bunch of personal papers and cancelled checks. There’s rampant speculation that, for some reason, Phil orchestrated the break-in himself. Why?

Most overviews of Phil’s life leave out something of interest that Sutin includes. In 1972, after his wife left him and he was plunged into a deep depression, he was invited to a scifi convention in Vancouver, BC, Canada. While there, he gave his most famous speech, “The Android and the Human,” and then decided to stay in Vancouver. After a little while, in a funk, Phil blacked out for a period of two weeks. All he remembers about this period of missing time is being driven around the streets of Vancouver for hours on end in a long black car, accompanied by “Mafia-type” men in black trenchcoats!

Why this important tidbit gets left out of most Phil Dick stuff really escapes me. It’s the classic, classic UFO/CIA scenario! Phil even speculated that he had been kidnapped and programmed by the government, thus the possibility that he orchestrated the break-in. After this experience, he checked himself into rehab (he was something of a rehab addict) and, three years later, began having the experiences also described by Uri Geller and Puharich. The difference, however, is that Dick’s experiences were genuinely salvific; they saved him from his paranoia. VALIS was a warn, enlightening source of information.

Geller and Puharich, on the other hand, were told by SPECTRA that Geller was destined to be a Messiah.

Now, then. We have connected Geller and Phil Dick by experience. Both may have been programmed by the CIA; both may have been contacted and granted divine wisdom by satellites (to avoid a serious head-explosion, I’ll forgo the Sophia Stewart satellite connexions at this point). Now let’s move on to Michael Jackson and where he could fit into all of this.

Geller and Jackson probably sign “BFFE” after their names. These guys are *tight*. Well, they were; not sure if they still are, though it certainly seems that way.

Jackson definitely has a Peter Pan complex. Peter Pan, recall, is a fairy-like creature who sneaks into childrens’ rooms at night and abducts them, taking them to the stars. Although it’s easy to see the UFO abduction phenomenon in this tale when looking back at it, there’s also a way of stepping beyond that and looking forward.

J.M Barrie, Scotsman, wrote Peter Pan for the stage in 1904. Barrie was a pretty famous guy, especially for literary sketches of Scottish life. Scotland has always been associated with the fairies and other ultraterrestrial beings. Scottish fairy lore, to those familiar with such things, describes the modern UFO phenomenon to a “T,” down to accounts of landing sites and cattle mutilation:

THE Fairies of Scotland are represented as a diminutive race of beings, of a mixed, or rather dubious nature, capricious in their dispositions, and mischievous in their resentment. They inhabit the interior of green hills, chiefly those of a conical form, in Gaelic termed Sighan, on which they lead their dances by moonlight; impressing upon the surface the marks of circles, which sometimes appear yellow and blasted, sometimes of a deep green hue; and within which it is dangerous to sleep, or to be found after sunset. The removal of those large portions of turf, which thunder-bolts sometimes scoop out of the ground with singular regularity, is also ascribed to their agency. Cattle, which are suddenly seized with the cramp, or some similar disorder, are said to be elf-shot, and the approved cure is, to chafe the parts affected with a blue bonnet, which, it may be readily believed, often restores the circulation.

Scottish lore also includes many accounts of abduction of children by these beings; often the fairy folk in question would leave “Changelings” in their place, replacement individuals who could be identified by the fact that they began to waste away and were markedly lethargic. Again, modern UFO abduction accounts often center around women who are shown lethargic alien “babies” and told that the children are “theirs,” or are asked to show “love” to the changelings:

Diane was told to pick a baby and hold it. She refused because the babies appeared to be deformed. Says Diane, “Everyone of them had something wrong with them. And she said it was sad, because it wasn’t planned that way, that they had all these things wrong with them….She said they had everything but love. She said, ‘That’s why I’d like you to take one and love it….They have problems. They are different. But they still need love.”

It’s almost certain that Barrie would have known about these experiences in terms of the fairy-folk– Peter Pan absolutely provides evidence (between Tinkerbell and “fairy dust” and Peter Pan’s obvious changeling status). Barrie may not have been directly involved in anything, but he certainly tapped into the abduction myth, making it almost palatable. If Jackson truly identifies with Peter Pan, is it possible that he identifies with his own abductors in an attempt to make palatable what’s happened to him, and his actions with kids are basically low-level mirror extensions of his own experiences?

Indeed, the abduction phenomenon is nothing new– it’s been happening for thousands of years; it’s been shown, quite simply, to have been described in different terminology. The individual most responsible for bringing this fact to light is UFO researcher Jacques Vallee, who recorded similar experiences and noted the remarkable continuity of abduction in his landmark Passport to Magonia. Vallee has also spent much time investigating . . . wait for it . . . Uri Geller!

Vallee happened to be friends with Ira Einhorn, the infamous Unicorn. Einhorn was a member of Puharich’s “Council of Nine” contactee group and one of many people involved in “testing” Uri Geller. A quantum physicist named Jack Sarfatti was also part of this group. Sarfatti was also contacted by beings in satellites who would call him on the phone as a child. Sarfatti was involved in mind-scanning experiments during the Carter administration focusing on the possibility that the Soviets were using electromagnetic frequencies to read peoples brains and send them messages at long-range.

One of Phil Dick’s theories as to his visions was that they were being beamed by Soviet Scientists.

A major funder of Sarfatti’s research was Jean Lanier, wife of an Episcopal Priest named Sidney Lanier, a close confidant of . . . Bishop James Pike.

Sarfatti, as mentioned, is a quantum physicist. He’s also written a text called “Flying Saucer Physics.” His ultimate goal, however, seems to be to make the technology in Star Trek available in real life. Gene Roddenberry was a meber of Puharich’s group.

If you’re not yet convinced that everything — EVERYTHING — is connected, then I’ll never convince you. Like I said, I don’t have any definite conclusions, I’m just underlying some jaw-dropping connexions. But, here’s some rampant speculation on my part:

If, indeed, there’s some kind of bona-fide mind control related ritual abuse within certain echelons of society, then it’s possible that it’s related to the UFO abduction phenomenon. There’s some connection between all of this and EMF-mind control, to which Phil Dick and Geller may have been exposed. There’s also a connection to “satellites” orbiting the Earth, be they SPECTRA or VALIS or what have you. There’s also a sort of good/bad dichotomy, here, as Dick’s experiences were genuinely mystical, expansive and revelatory, whereas Geller’s were basically ordering him to save the world (so he claims). There are weird puppetmasters like Puharich and Einhorn, collateral damage like Bishop James Pike, and strange threads attached to Star Trek. But, and this is the freaky kicker in my opinion, this phenomenon has been ongoing for hundreds and hundreds of years, as shown by fairie folklore and mythology and even Peter Pan.

If this is the case, researchers into ritual abuse, child abduction, etc. need to expand their focus. Although the current symptoms seem to be involved with the current administration and their predecessors, there may indeed be an even deeper level (I also refer to this possibility in Gnosticism and Conspiracy Theory). I speculate that these UFO entities, be they extraterrestrials or Archons, have been involved in kidnapping children for insidious purposes for centuries. They then follow the development of these children throughout their lives, often focusing on the entire genetic threads of a family through many generations (see the work of David Jacobs for more on this intriguing aspect of the phenomenon). There’s a religious element which indicates that there may be a kind of ongoing “Battle of the Satellites,” a sort of VALIS vs. SPECTRA that’s been occuring throughout history.

I could write on this for another hour, but I’ll leave it here for now. Suffice to say that there’ll be more on this later, as time allows.
