Spiritual Aspects Found in the UFO Experience
June R. Steiner, Ph.D, C.H.T.
BECAUSE OF THE OFTEN PRESENT PROFOUND SPIRITUAL EFFECTS OF AN EXPERIENCE OF THIS KIND, SEVERAL INVESTIGATORS HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE UFO EVENT MAY BE IT'S ROLE AS A CATALYST FOR HUMAN EVOLUTION, AND THE EXPERIENCERS MAY COLLECTIVELY BE A PROTOTYPE OF A NEW KIND OF HUMAN BEING
THAT IS EMERGING IN OUR TIME. THOSE SPECULATIONS ARE BASED ON THE REPORTED AFTEREFFECTS OF UFO EVENTS. MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL CHANGES SUGGEST THAT EXPERIENCERS MAY UNDERGO AN ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT OF DIFFERENT-ORDER INTUITIVE MENTAL FUNCTIONING.
SEVERAL CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCHERS HAVE ARGUED THAT THE INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THOSE HIGHER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS HERALDS THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW TYPE OF HUMAN BEING, A NEW PERSONALITY THAT KENNETH RING CALLED THE OMEGA PROTOTYPE.
EXPERIENCERS ARE REPORTING PRECISELY THE KIND OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED IN EASTERN TRADITIONS WITH THE BIO-ENERGY THAT DRIVES EVOLUTION. EX. AWAKENING KUNDULINI. HARRIS SUGGESTS THAT THE NEXT STEP IN UFO RESEARCH MAY BE TO MEASURE OBJECTIVE AND RELIABLE PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN EXPERIENCERS.
RESEARCH BY RING, SPRINKLE, MACK, LAIBOW, AND OTHERS HAS ESTABLISHED THAT THE UFO EXPERIENCE IS AN AUTHENTIC PHENOMENON THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME IN WHATEVER COUNTRY OR CULTURE IT OCCURS.
IF IT IS A HALLUCINATION, IT SEEMS IT IS A 'UNIVERSAL HALLUCINATION'.
