There are numerous conspiracy theories and new ones appear literally on a daily basis. They vary in subject but in most cases are somehow related to alleged hidden agendas and activity of national and global elites which in one way or another are harmful to the interest (or at least are not for the common good) of the average people.

While it is obvious that much of those are product of imagination, exaggeration or even pure lies, there are those, which are backed up by solid evidence. While the evidence might not be always conclusive enough to present a true and complete picture of what is really behind a certain conspiracy theory, it is often convincing as to what is not the truth i.e. the version presented as official by the so-called reputable sources.

Often the only unit of measure used for the rejection of certain information as “conspiracy crap” is the opinion of all sorts of mainstream scientists, experts, officials who by default are credited with more trust than, say, the average Joe from the neighbourhood.

Let me tell you a real story which if it was not for the fact that it happened to me personally, I would probably not believe. I was having a discussion with somebody on the global elite conspiracy for world domination, the controlled media etc. I was sharing what I had read from various sources and what I believed to be logical extrapolations on the subject.

After listening to my arguments (which might not have been necessarily valid) the person interrupted me and asked me in a very sincere voice a question that left me speechless for a moment: “But if all you are saying is true, how is it possible that we never hear any news on that in major media like CNN for example?”

A self-defeating argument, is it not? If one just allows for the possibility that conspiracy is real and media is controlled, one would not expect the same (controlled) media to report on that fact, right? Still that person honestly believed he was making a valid point against my arguments. Here I just wanted to illustrate briefly, how far our uncritical attitude can go, thus conditioning us into sheep mentality and blind acceptance.

So far, I tried to make a point why we should not dismiss all the stories about alleged cover-ups by shadowy interests or other similar stuff, only because somebody labelled it “conspiracy theory”.

Now below are two examples of “conspiracies” that eventually proved true.

Area 51

The existence of a top-secret military facility at the Nevada desert has been reported for decades by multiple people including average citizens, civil investigators and whistle-blowers (the latter supposedly having first-hand knowledge into the subject).

While the nature of the activities taking place there had been and still is subject to much speculation, the existences itself of such a facility had been successfully dismissed by the official sources as “conspiracy theory” for decades. It was only in 2013, that the Government openly admitted that Area 51 was real.

If this part of the story proved true and not the product of somebody’s rich imagination, then how can we be sure that there is also no grain of truth in the other related topics such as reverse engineering of extra-terrestrial craft?

The central bank of the USA (FED) being a privately owned/controlled body

Contrary to common belief, the FED is not a public/governmental body. This would imply that its activity is motivated in the first place (if not completely) by private interests.

While the legal intricacies leave it open to debate whether and to what extent it is private/public body, some aspects of its organization (as outlined in official documents) seem to clearly indicate that in practical terms it is not directly accountable to any public/governmental authority. You can go further into the topic for yourself.

Above two examples of Area 51 and the FED were chosen somewhat randomly and because of the fact that information on them is abundant enough so that a willing person can make his own research. Their mention here is to illustrate the fact that sometimes “conspiracy theory” can actually be “conspiracy practice”.

Then we come to the questions like “Even if such conspiracies are indeed true, why should I care? Why should I be interested to know?” Well, everybody should answer those questions for himself. Maybe one’s starting point should be “If this is true, does it affect somehow my own life and if yes, in what way?”

Would you care to know if the prescription drugs you take are really meant to cure your health problems? Or are those actually meant by design to only relief your symptoms and keep you a long-term “customer” of the pharmaceutical industry? Is it ok for you to breathe ever more polluted air from the use of fossil fuels if there might have been for decades completely clean energy alternatives suppressed only because of corporate greed?

If you perceive those or similar questions as relevant to your own life, being open-minded about “conspiracy theories” would most probably not be a waste of your time.

While each perspective would explain spirituality with different terminology and ideas, it seems that all the answers still have something in common. Whether we talk about God, universal laws, evolution of consciousness etc., ultimately it seems that we always mean some form of reality that extends beyond our normal senses and beyond the reach of our measurement devices. In fact, this is exactly a statement which a spiritual teacher in one of the major religions once gave about his tradition – that it is a method for experiencing and knowing the reality as it is. So, while the different versions of spirituality might disagree on what there is, they all seem to posit that there is something beyond the reality we currently perceive.

Now, while I do have my own spiritual beliefs and experiences, I will try to stay unbiased and not try to advocate any particular version of spirituality. My point is rather to demonstrate why the spiritual search is relevant for us and how we are actually always on a spiritual path (even when we might not be consciously aware of the fact).

The rules of the game

No matter what we call “reality”, it is for sure that it affects us. If there is any structure, a framework of existence, then the logical assumption is that it functions based on some principles, rules, universal laws whatever we want to call it. As far as the individual himself is part of or functions within that reality, it is implied that the more we know those laws and abide by them, the more we ourselves will function in a smooth manner.

We can use the physical analogy of the car traffic – while obviously we can choose how to drive our car, unless we know and respect the traffic rules, we are much more likely to get into a car accident. Similarly, if there is indeed “a bigger reality” which affects us, the better we know its rules the less “crashes” we will go through in our lives. By the same example, it does not make any difference whether we believe or not in the rules – in any case if we do not follow them, we shall suffer the consequences. Similarly, whether we believe in expanded reality or not, if it does exist, we cannot avoid its effects.

Now, the next question is how do we know if bigger reality exists indeed? What would you say to a person who states: “If such reality exists, I do agree that it is useful to know it better. However, how can you convince me that it does exist? If I am not convinced, following a spiritual path seems to be a waste of time.”

Our own inner hints

This question is obviously not applicable to those who already have their spiritual beliefs but rather to those who claim to believe only in what they can see, hear, smell etc. For the latter, I might not have a definite answer but would rather challenge them with some questions:

“Are you 100% fine with every single moment of your existence? Do you sometimes feel that something is not quite right? A subtle feeling that there is something you are missing in the big picture (even if you might not have any clue what it might be)? Have you ever felt longing without any idea what you long for?”

Most people would answer with “Yes” to such questions without much hesitation. This “Yes” often comes from their own inner voice that tries to attract the attention, suggesting that there is something more to be discovered. The very existence of this voice is an evidence to the existence of a bigger picture. Whether you perceive it as your own subconscious or give it other name, you are puzzled by it exactly because it does not fit into your present perspective and understanding. And if it does not fit, by definition it is beyond. You do not know about its existence but it knows about yours (otherwise you could never hear it). Even if but one time, you have experienced a feeling without a clue as to why you have it, this is a proof of a missing piece.

Am I or am I not?

Paradoxically, it seems that no matter how we perceive ourselves (as believers in God-creator, religious, atheists etc.) in practical terms we always are on a spiritual search. As far as we look for happiness, peace, harmony, material well-being – we are effectively looking for a smooth travel throughout life experience. The very fact of seeking such a smooth travel is a spiritual search because understanding ultimately reality (whatever it might be) is the only way in which the smoothness of the travel can be attained.

The distinction between spiritual and non-spiritual people is purely artificial. We are all in the same boat. We are all spiritual seekers the only difference being whether it is conscious seeking or not. And this is exactly the reason why, contrary to wide-spread attitudes the spiritual search is relevant to each and every one of us – possibly in ways we cannot still imagine.

My friend thought that the knowledge about aliens would in no way serve a practical purpose – it would not solve any particular issue of his personal existence. Thus, the ultimate reason for his lack of interest in the subject boiled down to the following: “Ok, so tomorrow we will know for sure that we are in contact with intelligent extra-terrestrial life. What difference would it make to you?”

Instead of trying to answer his question, I replied with my own question which seemed to me more appropriate – what would be the same as before?

The problem seems to be that throughout the years, the possibility of extra-terrestrial contact has been touched upon purely as science fiction or only imaginary scenario. When one perceives something as purely hypothetical but close to impossible in reality, his attitude can only be superficial. This is somewhat like: “We all know that a contact with advanced ET race is impossible, but since you ask me, I imagine that if one day it happens etc.” The conviction is already there that is nothing but imagination thus also the analysis of the eventual implications is lacking in depth.

Let us just imagine…

If we leave aside for a moment our skepticism about the possibility of ET contact and sincerely try to imagine such a situation, are we sure that our attitude would still be “So what?”

The first and immediate effects of open alien interaction (on global level and in an undeniable physical manner) would be psychological. Whether it will be purely emotional reaction such as fear, excitement, fascination it seems unlikely that on personal level we would perceive such news as “just another headline in the media”. A form of shock will be there whether positive or negative but definitely some kind of a shock. It will bring out considerations in your life that maybe you never even imagined you could be ever faced with.

Even if on personal level you happen to be balanced enough and able to go by as if nothing happened, it is not likely that the society as a whole will not react. Whether there will be panic and traffic jams or form of celebration – people will not be working in the same manner, will not behave in the same manner, will not think in the same manner.

While many things will be happening, it will be just a matter of time that a much more important and interesting consequence will start to emerge. When the emotional reaction (whatever it might be) is somewhat cooled down, the very fact of knowing that intelligent life is here (or even has always been around), will inevitably raise questions for us. Questions whose answers we have always taken for granted. Those questions will relate to different areas of life and in many of those areas we will be in the situation where we will need to reconsider and redefine our root ideas of what is possible and impossible.

A more pragmatic consideration

A generally perceived idea (particularly in the Western societies) is that having a job (and getting remuneration in some form) is a necessary condition for our existence. In particular, we have come to believe that there is no other way in which we can sustain ourselves.

The existing economic model and predominant economic theories are based on ideas such as “Resources are scarce and never enough to satisfy everybody’s needs” or “The only way to have a share in those resources is to produce and sell to each other what we need” (where working is effectively selling our time and efforts for money). Whether we like the situation or not, the fact is the majority of people take it for granted: “This is life. You work to survive”.

How is this perception likely to change? Well maybe there will be originally smaller questions such as “How did those aliens travelled to our planet?”, “What kind of technology and what kind of energy they used?” and so on. The questions will be building one upon the other and their scope will be increasing exponentially. A moment will come that each of us on a personal level will come to the realization that the new technologies and energy used by the aliens have the potential of radically changing our whole material environment.

If we know without shadow of doubt that a zero-point energy is readily available and in unlimited quantity and the technology is available to tap into it, this would mean that ultimately almost all material needs of humanity can be adequately met in close to fully automated manner. Instead of having to do this or that as a job just in order to survive, we will have the freedom to choose what we want do with our time.

Imagine a person whose passion is painting but has to do some boring job in order to make a living. Under an economic model, which is based on “scarcity” such situations are quite common. In a new economic paradigm of automated and close to unlimited material abundance, people will have much more freedom to actually live instead of make a living.

Above is just one line of thought about the possible implications of open alien contact and of course there are many and different scenarios. The point, however, is once again – whatever the changes, our lives will be changed significantly (if not completely) and there is no question about it.

Now, suppose you never previously bothered considering “alien encounter” as a real-life scenario and maybe you just developed some healthy interest into the subject and are willing to do a bit of your own research on the information available. What are you going to find out?

Various sources of information

You are about to find tons of information. Much of it will be nonsense – coming out from the crazy fantasies of some individual or in the form of elaborate hoaxes of people making profit out of the subject.

At the same time, you will come upon stories from more serious investigators (e.g. Dr. Steven Greer) and whistle blowers (e.g. Corey Goode). You will read about investigations by the government and the formation of secret structure (Majestic 12) running secret projects (e.g. Project “Blue Book”) to find every possible information about aliens and use that knowledge to their own advantage in a game of money and power. You will also find experts and insiders (e.g. pilots, astronauts, high-ranking former militaries, scientists and officials) whose claims of first-hand knowledge on the subject while often quite extraordinary deserve proper consideration.

You will be encouraged to believe and doubt at the same time as you go through seemingly confusing and controversial information. You can get the feeling that it is impossible to find a definite and convincing answer. Still, if you dig deep enough and apply common sense and critical analyses in your research, I believe one thing will become clear for sure:

No matter what the mainstream and official sources have been telling us for decades, there is ample evidence that something is not quite right, that something is missing or has been intentionally hidden from our attention regarding the existence of extra-terrestrial life and possibly its interactions with our species throughout our known and even missing history on this planet. What is the ultimate truth may still remain unsure but it is highly possible that you will be convinced about what is not the truth – the official, edited and “cut” history of humankind.

Active interest helps disclosure

While our personal interest in the subject can only be a matter of individual choice, I think it is important to consider how our choice affects the overall picture. The more people take proactive approach and read, discuss, show interest without fear of being labelled “crazy”, the more those who are into position and are willing to reveal the truth, will be encouraged or even forced into a situation where ET disclosure will happen.

In fact, the signs are all there that the process is already ongoing and gaining momentum. It is up to us to make it happen sooner than later. It seems that aliens have been involved with humanity throughout its history and evolution. It is at this stage, however, that we need this interaction to become much more open and direct to (possibly) help us cope with the problems we are facing as a species.

While the range of those topics is enormous and extends to subjects like extra-terrestrial life, UFOs, conspiracy theory, ancient myths, shamanic healing etc., all those seem to have something in common. Most of those areas of knowledge are perceived by the general public as somehow “unreal” and therefore irrelevant. In one form of another, people dismiss them as having nothing to do with “the real life” and therefore being a waste of time.

We seem to live in times and in a civilization where one’s area of interests is defined predominantly by its perceived usefulness. In other words, particular kind of knowledge is worth of only if it is practical. Curiosity for its own sake i.e. the need to know simply because one is willing to expand his knowledge of the world, is not so prevalent.

Above said, the point here is to try to give a perspective to people of rational inclination as to what are the potential benefits of such knowledge.

Now, the thing is that all sources of information that we consider mainstream or official have cultivated throughout the years in the general public (in some cases for generations) uncritical perception of the information that is being fed to it. This mentality of acceptance without questioning is erroneous for at least one reason:

The reliability of “experts”

First, all those labels which we put on people and based on which we evaluate their capacities and knowledge are purely artificial titles and by themselves should not be taken as an undeniable proof of credibility.

For example, a professor in one scientific area is not into possession of every bit of knowledge in his field of study. Moreover, by its very nature, scientific knowledge is constantly evolving. I am sure that all the mainstream scientists back in history “knew” that Earth was flat but it is not their merit that we are now aware that it is a globe.

Also, before being a professor, a person is in the first place a human being just like you and me. As such, he is subject to all the imperfections of a human being including having his particular beliefs, prejudices etc. Those unavoidably affect his opinions and the interpretation of the scientific facts.

The second problem with the mentality of blind acceptance is not related to one being knowledgeable or not on a particular subject. It has more to do with the motives of the person (or those of his fellow group or community). This is the motivation that shapes at large, what he is going to do with the knowledge in his possession. The fact that somebody knows much does not necessarily mean he is going to share that knowledge truthfully.

While I am sure most people would agree to the above, when presented with two opposing opinions, we often tend to form a predisposition in favour of the one perceived as „expert“ or „authority“. This automatically shuts us down from at the least digesting properly the other possible truth being presented.

Тhe next three parts of the present article will focus on 3 particular topics which even when touched upon by mainstream sources, are regarded mostly as fiction rather than a possible reality.
