Yep, calling it Disclosure Day isn't very subtle. I agree that the soft release has been happening for a while, except it might not be to prepare us for the future, but for a specific future. I'm hesitant to fully trust science fiction offerings from structures of authority whose main focus is to maintain their place of power. Could be viewed as predictive programming to tilt the gameboard to a desired outcome.

Can disclosure be managed that coherently? Probably not. Curious to see how it plays out!

No, not subtle at all.

That’s an excellent distinction you made Tyler. I completely agree. It is absolutely a way to prime us for a specific future…the one they envision for the kind of world they want. I’m actually exploring that in the other article I’m working on. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when it drops.

I’m very curious too. Just observing and recording the patterns for the time being. Thank you for reading and sharing your perspective!

Bring on the aliens. It will force a lot of people to finally rethink their center-of-the-universe, we-are-right/superior, bigoted belief systems. Because nothing else seems to work on far too many of the world’s population.

Exactly! Maybe that's the gift hidden inside disclosure. Maybe learning that we are not alone, not special and definitely not the center could be the wake up call people need and the very thing that finally unites us. Thank you Gregory!

Which is a reason for covering it up and distorting the narrative. SETI, too, are guilty of this concealment, by denying the intelligent design of some of the radio wave signals they've received, like passing it off as radiofrequency interference.

The crucial question (self-examination) humanity would ask if confronted by the knowledge of other intelligences is 'what must they think of us, and all the hurt that we have done' - that force of 'we must change everything for the better' would be unstoppable, and the few people at the top who are responsible for all that hurt, and who benefit from the present system, would not survive.

'Thou must have no other intelligences before me!'

I've been aware of this for a while now I think. 'They' know that humans perceive the world, develop opinions, and learn and so on, through stories/narratives.

However, when it comes to the powers-that-should-not be, I think we should be deeply suspicious of them, on past behaviour. I think our default should be that they do not have our best interests in mind, only their own, and we should assume they have nefarious intentions.

I was going to write an article myself about this Disclosure thing. Especially since it's been noticeably promoted in the mainstream - so we need to ask 'who benefits' and 'why'. etc.

Personally, I think the whole 'it's aliens' thing is the real lie here. They want people to think that the coverup is about 'aliens', when actually the real cause/origin of all these paranormal phenomena (including UFOs, crop circles, etc.) is what I call the 'Solaris Hypothesis' - that's to say, it is the planetary intelligence herself. It should be quite clear how the methods of social control constructed by the dystopian types would utterly collapse if the world became aware of the planetary intelligence and it wasn't deniable (notice in ancient times, humans were indeed perfectly aware of this). What all the 'Disclosure' and all those shows/movies are really doing here is heavily promoting the 'extraterrestrial hypothesis' (ETH), as a misdirection and distraction from the truth about the planetary intelligence (this also suggests other planets and stars are intelligences as well - thus we have a sort of sci-fi paganism).

What you say about 'inserting ideas into the collective cultural consciousness' is however very true also from the point of view of the planet herself. I think this is one way in which she communicates with humans, and subtly influences their development as a species. By inserting stories into the minds of writers. Stories that resonate and are designed to subtly change things. It's about 'eating the apple', being able to see evil clearly (the demon pretending to be a god), and thus develop an immunity to it.

I often think of Asimov's End of Eternity in this way, as an inserted story. Star Wars too, actually - as an inserted cultural memory of the Ancient War, when the galaxy was young and interstellar species were too few and far between to carry out a protocol of intervention, in order to prevent threatening species from developing interstellar travel...

Thank you for this perspective. :) 

I had to sit with it for a while to really process everything you raised. First, you absolutely should write about Disclosure. I'd love to hear your thoughts on who benefits question.

I completely agree that we need to use discernment here. I feel this mainstream push for Disclosure is a mix of truth and misdirection designed to resonate with those paying attention while steering them off course.

The Solar Hypothesis is fascinating and it feels true in the sense that the plant IS a living consciousness with its own intelligence. I'm not sure if you watched Disclosure Day, but there were some parts which I don't want to spoil, but makes me think of this. Something I do come back to is how our interpretation is filtered through our cuurent state of consciousness and our readiness to perceive. It’s like an onion, there are layers to it. Every time we pull back a veil, there is another layer waiting. 

Personally, at this current stage of my awareness, I'm leaning more toward the interdimensional hypothesis when it comes to ‘extraterrestrials’. It feels highly likely that whatever is here has been here all along, coexisting with us on this planet.

Your point about inserting stories into the collective consciousness is thought-provoking. Isn’t it tragic how modern stories have been downgraded to mindless entertainment? When stories that could transform are rejected or ignored because they are uncomfortable or require deeper thinking, it makes you think if societal collapse is inevitable if things don’t change in the near future, even if people are reading more today than ever.

I’m not against fun, entertaining stories; they’re needed too. But when almost all the stories being marketed fail to make people think about reality or the current state of things, it becomes deeply concerning. The quality and depth of our stories, literature and art have to change whether that is in books, movies or music.

Art ultimately is a tool of transformation when used correctly, so it’s no wonder it is not honored as it should be in our current society.

On the interdimensional hypothesis - one interesting consideration is that more than one hypothesis can be true at the same time. Of course in my Solaris hypothesis the existence of other sorts of visitors would depend on permission from the planetary intelligence herself - but I don’t think she would object to psychologically mature and friendly ‘others’ from visiting. And I think it would be bizarre indeed to think that no visitors ever came here, and maybe even settled for a while, in the ancient past (before humans came along). In some of my stories I have the Paschats, who settled here during the Cretaceous. Ironically, Spielberg would like that, given how much he loves both ETs and Dinos lol.

😆...Spielberg is definitely a believer in non-human intelligences. I'm sure of it after Dsiclosure Day. It feels like his older movies showed his fascination but his latest one proves his conviction.

I completely agree that multiple truths can exist at the same time. It's what fascinates me the most, and I think it's very important to be able to hold different possibilities at once while also being okay with if the actual truth turns out to be entirely different!

The universe is so vast and its secrets so deep that it will probably take many lifetimes and many evolutionary stages to begin remembering everything.

I love exploring new theories. It scratches an itch in my brain in the best way. Your Solaris Hypothesis is a perfect example of that.

Your Paschats characters sound fascinating! I look forward to reading more about them. :)

I've not seen Disclosure Day yet (I've seen the trailers though, so I at least half get the storyline). Here in rural France although we do have a local cinema, it tends to show arty French films (not that I object to arty French films, mind). And when it does show English-speaking movies they are invariably dubbed. So I'll have to wait a while to watch it online somehow.

I think another reason for the mediocrity (or in addition to the mediocrity) of modern storytelling is the oversaturation aspect. The effect this has is to make the really great, meaningful, important stories get drowned out and lost, so they become like needles in haystacks. A person has to actively seek them out to find them (after wading through a lot of mediocrity to get there), and not that many people do that, unfortunately...

Qibra's avatar

That is such a good point. I think the oversaturation is going to get worse over the next few years as more and more people will be able to churn out books and content easily with tools like AI.

Regarding Disclosure Day, I found the movie interesting. It's definitely polarizing. People seem to either like it or hate it. I feel it's one of those movies where people need to experience it for themselves. Perhaps we can discuss more whenever you finally get to see it. :)

Evelyn K. Brunswick's avatar

Yes - if/when I get to see the film maybe I could do a sort of review of it. I'll think about a more general article in the meantime.

Perfect! Can't wait!
