The most common belief shared by every culture on this planet is that there are seven distinct worlds or realities. We Hve on the lowest rung of the ladder. If there is a hell, we must be living in it Numerous religious sects are concerned with Holy Ghost apparitions and the speaking in tongues phenomenon, which they accept as verification of their beliefs. The United Pentecostal Church, for example, finds great meaning in such manifestations... and they occur constantly within the church. Church bulletins and publications are filled with accounts of these events. The newsletter, Global Witness, June-July 1970, described the following, as reported by a group in n_.-- Peru: On April 28th as they were praying, the ten-year-old daughter suddenly went into what they thought was a "fit of convulsions*. She began to jerk and shake all over. Her terrified mother tushed to her side to attempt to help her daughter, but an unseen hand restrained her, and a voice urged her to leave the girl alone. In just a few moments this little girl, who did not know what the Holy Ghost was, began to speak in a strange but lovely new language. The following Tuesday night the oldest boy was marvellously filled with the Holy Ghost. He rejoiced in the Spirit and spoke with tongues for over an hour’ Convulsive seizures are common to all the frames of reference. Many UFO contactees suffer chronic headaches, muscular soreness, and other symptoms of such seizures after their experiences. These fits could be caused by some disorder of the frontal lobe. Primitive peoples usually regarded such fits as demonic possessions. One of the world's foremost psychologists, the late Dr Carl G. Jung, examined the sodoreligious aspects of the UFO rumours and published a shrewd analysis. Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Sky in 1959. He correlated the UFO reports with psychic manifestations and suggested that the phenomena were products of the collective consciousness of mankind. The psychic aspect plays so great a role that it cannot be left out of account,’ Dr Jung stated. lhe discussion of it leads to psychological problems which involve just as fantastic possibilities or impossibilities as the approach from the physical side.* Another scientist, Dr Jacques Vallee, an astronomer and computer specialist, spent several years sifting UFO accounts and comparing them with the earlier fairy lore of Europe. He felt that the two phenomena shared a single cause. In Passport to Magonia’, Vallee offered a catalogue of 923 flying saucer landings from 1868 to 1968, many of which included the classic characteristics of the ntore universal psychic manifestations. Is it reasonable to draw a parallel between religious apparitions, the fairy faith, the reports of dwarf-like beings with supernatural powers, the airship tales in the United States in the last century, and the present stories of UFO contactees - a cosmos which includes great Intergalactic Councils (as soon as we grow up, we 1 arene may be permitted to join).
