Dr. John Mack: Anomalous Experiences and Transformation of Consciousness 10.25.2002
Anomalous Experiences and the Transformation of Consciousness is one of the final presentations related to alien encounters given by Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack.
Recorded October 25, 2002 at the International Conference on Altered States of Consciousness, Albuquerque, NM.
The original synopsis of the lecture: "UFO encounters, near death experiences, shamanic journeys, and spontaneous religious epiphanies all have the power to bring about a significant transformation of consciousness. By this is meant that the experiencers’ worldview, as internalized in the course of their upbringing and inculcation in this culture, is shattered. This, in turn, results in the potential opening of heart and spirit to a wider appreciation of reality and a (re)connection to realms of the sacred and divine. In this lecture I will discuss how this process occurs in specific cases, and its implications for social and cultural change."

MASS FISH DIE-OFF: "An Unbelievable Mystery" - Tens Of Thousands Of Dead Fish Covering 8 Kilometres Of Shoreline In Yass, Australia?
February 03, 2013 - AUSTRALIA -
Thousands of fish have mysteriously washed up on the shores of
Burrinjuck Dam, north-west of Canberra. Liz Richardson from Good Hope
Tourist Resort told The Yass Tribune the amount of dead fish was "unbelievable". "Every type of fish," she said. "Lots of baby fish, lots of small cod."
Around eight kilometres of shoreline, downstream of Taemas Bridge and
past Good Hope, was littered with fish carcasses. The Department of
Primary Industries said the cause of the fish kill was unclear.
Fisheries officers inspected the site on Tuesday and observed hundreds
of native golden perch and Murray cod among the thousands of dead fish.
"Sizes of fish affected ranged from five to 80 centimetres. "The fish
were observed floating in the water, along the water's edge and on the
shoreline over an area of approximately eight kilometres within the
impoundment," a DPI spokesman said. Ms Richardson said a similar thing
happened about 10 years ago when the water levels were low, and heavy
rain had fallen. She believed the deaths were due to the rapidly
falling dam levels, which, combined with recent storm run-off, may have
created low oxygen supplies in the dam. "They've taken the water so
dangerously low for the fish... they've ravaged the water," she said.
"In three-and-a-half months [the lake's] gone from 100 per cent to 38
per cent [full]. "We've had big rain before," she said. "Like last year
with the floods. It's just the fact they've let all the water out."
Dean Brind from Burrinjuck State Park said the falling water level
shouldn't have killed the fish. "The fish normally will keep moving
down unless they get stuck in pockets," Mr Brind said. He was told the
first dead fish appeared Saturday morning before the rain. He didn't
know the cause but ruled out several factors. "It's not cold water,
it's not run off from the fires," he said, as the fire run-off would
have washed into the dam from the Yass River area. Officers from the
Environment Protection Authority (EPA) took water samples from Hume Park
on Wednesday. "Fisheries have let us know there's been a fish kill,"
head of operations, Sandie Jones, said. "When there's no clear cause
we'll come out to take samples." Hume Park management was worried about
people wanting to use the dam. "[There's] concern as to why it has
occurred and whether or not it is safe for recreational use." Resort
owners will be rolling up their sleeves to clean up the dead fish in
their immediate area. It is not known who is responsible for the
clean-up of the rest of the affected area. Fishing takes a hit
Thousands of cod fingerlings released recently may all lay dead on the
banks of Burrinjuck Dam. Mr Brind from Burrinjuck State Park said
around 65,000 cod were released before Christmas and just last week
there was a trout release. "Most of them were in that stretch of
river," he said. "That's probably wiped those two releases out. "That's
a year we've lost." - Canberra Times.

DISASTER IMPACT: At Least 10 People Injured As 6.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hit Northern Japan - The Authorities Are Assessing Damage To Nuclear Power Plants!
February 02, 2013 - JAPAN - A
POWERFUL 6.9 magnitude earthquake has struck northern Japan, causing
strong tremors across Hokkaido island, but no damage to several nuclear
facilities in the region, officials say. The quake, which was preceded
by an early warning broadcast on television and radio, hit near the town
of Obihiro at a depth of 103 kilometres at 11.17pm on Saturday (0117
AEDT Sunday), according to US Geological Survey data. Ten people
suffered minor injuries due to falling objects, broken glass and other
incidents, according to national broadcaster NHK, but authorities said
no serious damage was reported and the quake did not generate a tsunami.
The shaking lasted about a minute, and video taken in the offices of NHK Hokkaido showed computer screens swaying and shelves threatening to give way. Bottles smashed to the ground in supermarkets, some areas had power blackouts and a number of highways were closed. Trains were stopped on rural tracks as a precaution. "Beware of possible landslides and buildings that could have been weakened," an official from Japan's Meteorological Agency warned at a press conference. The most violent tremors were felt in the eastern part of Hokkaido - the nation's second largest island and a popular skiing destination - but the northern part of the island was also shaken along with parts of the main island of Honshu, where Tokyo is located. Utility firms said no abnormalities were reported at the Tomari nuclear plant in Hokkaido's west, nor in the nuclear facilities in Aomori, the northernmost prefecture on Honshu. Aomori is home to the Higashidori nuclear reactors and a nuclear reprocessing plant in Rokkasho which is currently in a testing phase, as well as fuel storage sites.
At present only two of the country's 50 reactors are operational, after the entire network was shuttered over several months for scheduled safety checks following the quake-tsunami disaster of March 2011. Both are in Oi, in Honshu's west. Shortly before Saturday's quake hit, an alert was broadcast on television and radio through an early warning system established by the weather agency, and programs were interrupted on NHK. "Make yourself safe, turn off the gas, beware of falling objects, and if you are outside do not approach the coast," a broadcaster said. The devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan's northeast left some 19,000 people dead or missing and crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the world's worst atomic disaster in 25 years. A powerful 7.3-magnitude undersea quake in the same area in December triggered a one-metre-high tsunami, but there were no reports of fatalities. Since the Fukushima disaster the country has been fearing another quake catastrophe. Some of Japan's reactors, including the Higashidori facility, are built near faults suspected to be active. Since the March disaster, anti-nuclear sentiment has run high in Japan, which used to rely on atomic power for around a third of its electricity needs. Some four hours after the quake a 5.5-magnitude tremor struck off Japan's Izu islands, around 725 kilometres south of Tokyo, according to the US Geological Survey. - Herald Sun.

World leaders prepare for discovery of extraterrestrial life in 10 years
In
Davos Switzerland, a prominent ski resort, the world’s business elite
are meeting to discuss what to expect over the next 10 years. This year,
the annual World Economic Forum meeting runs from January 23 to 27 and
business leaders are joined by prominent politicians and central
bankers. For 2013, an 80-page analysis of 50 risks for the next 10 years
was distributed to attendees. The Global Risks 2013
report is lengthy list of prognostications of what world leaders need
to plan for to avoid “systemic shocks and catastrophic events”. Among
the list are five X factors that according to the report, “no country
alone can prevent.” One of the X factors is the discovery of
extraterrestrial life.
The Global Risks 2013 report begins by outlining the importance of "national resilience" in response to anticipated global risks over the next 10 years:
Global risks would
meet with global responses in an ideal world, but the reality is that
countries and their communities are on the frontline when it comes to
systemic shocks and catastrophic events. In an increasingly
interdependent and hyperconnected world, one nation’s failure to address
a global risk can have a ripple effect on others. Resilience to global
risks – incorporating the ability to withstand, adapt and recover from
shocks – is, therefore, becoming more critical. This special report is
organized around two axioms:
- Global risks are expressed at the national level.
- No country alone can prevent their occurrence.
Among the list of global risks are five X factors developed in collaboration with Nature, a leading science journal. The Global Risks 2013 report recommended readers “to consider a set of five X factors and reflect on what countries or companies should be doing to anticipate them.”
The last of the five X factors is the “Discovery of Alien Life”. The World
Economic Forum report begins this section as follows:
Given the pace of
space exploration, it is increasingly conceivable that we may discover
the existence of alien life or other planets that could support human
life. What would be the effects on science funding flows and humanity’s
self-image?
The report goes on to explain:
It was only in
1995 that we first found evidence that other stars also have planets
orbiting them. Now thousands of “exoplanets” revolving around distant
stars have been detected. NASA’s Kepler mission to identify Earth-sized
planets located in the “Goldilocks zone” (not too hot, not too cold) of
sun-like stars has been operating for only three years and has already
turned up thousands of candidates, including one the size of Earth. The
fact that Kepler has found so many planet candidates in such a tiny
fraction of the sky suggests that there are countless Earth-like planets
orbiting sun-like stars in our galaxy. In 10 years’ time we may have
evidence not only that Earth is not unique but also that life exists
elsewhere in the universe.
What would be the national and global impact of such a discovery according to the Global Risks 2013 report?
The discovery
would certainly be one of the biggest news stories of the year and
interest would be intense. But it would not change the world
immediately…. Over the long term, the psychological and philosophical
implications of the discovery could be profound. If life forms (even
fossilized life forms) are found in our solar system, for example, the
origin of life is “easy” – that any place in the universe life can
emerge, it will emerge. It will suggest that life is as natural and as
ubiquitous a part of the universe as the stars and galaxies. The
discovery of even simple life would fuel speculation about the existence
of other intelligent beings and challenge many assumptions that
underpin human philosophy and religion.
Through basic
education and awareness campaigns, the general public can achieve a
higher science and space literacy and cognitive resilience that would
prepare them and prevent undesired social consequences of such a
profound discovery and paradigm shift concerning humankind’s position in
the universe.
What would be the “undesired social consequences of such a profound discovery?” For an answer, one can look to the 1961 Brookings Report that was commissioned by NASA and written by the Brookings Institution for eventual presentation to the US Congress. The Brookings Report, titled “Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs,” described an alarming scenario of what might happen to society if humanity was not sufficiently prepared for the discovery of technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations:
Evidences of its
[extraterrestrial] existence might also be found in artifacts left on
the moon or other planets. The consequences for attitudes and values are
unpredictable, but would vary profoundly in different cultures and
between groups within complex societies; a crucial factor would be the
nature of the communication between us and the other beings….
Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their
place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they had to
associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas
and different life ways; others that survived such an experience
usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes
and behavior.
Is social disintegration what the Davos Global Risks 2013 report has in mind if extraterrestrial life is discovered? The simple answer is no, if leaders develop the necessary “national and organizational resilience” to such a discovery, and implement “basic education and awareness campaigns”. The Global Risks 2013 report shows how far humanity has come over the last 50 years since the Brookings Report was written. World Economic Forum organizers are far more optimistic and believe that humanity can be sufficiently prepared for a “paradigm shift concerning humankind’s position in the universe.” World leaders currently meeting at the Davos World Economic Forum are themselves being prepared for the possible discovery of extraterrestrial life within the next 10 years.

Russian Prime Minister claims extraterrestrials live among us
Russian
Prime Minister claims that Men In Black movies depict a real life
secret organization that monitors extraterrestrials living among us
Credits:
Exopolitics.org
After completing an on-air interview with five television reporters, Prime Minister Medvedev continued to respond to reporters and made some off-air comments without realizing that the microphone was still on. His off-air comments were more frank about his real feelings on recent political developments in Russia where authorities were reigning in civil liberties. He was then asked by one reporter if “the president is handed secret files on aliens when he receives the briefcase needed to activate Russia's nuclear arsenal,” Medvedev responded:
Along with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special 'top secret' folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet… Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country… More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black… I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic.Medvedev’s comments are not the first time a prominent Russian official has spoken out about extraterrestrial life while giving television interviews. In an extraordinary television interview aired in May 2010, the Governor of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov who was also President of the World Chess Federation, claimed that in 1997 he was taken from his penthouse apartment on board an extraterrestrial vehicle. Ilyumzhinov claimed that the extraterrestrials he met were humanoid and gave him a tour of their ship, and even took him to another world.
There has long been claims that not only have extraterrestrials been visiting our world, but have actually lived among us. A well documented case in Italy called Amicizia (Friendship) revealed that more than 100 individuals, including senior public officials, had met with a group of extraterrestrials with bases in the Italian peninsula and the Adriatic Sea over a 22 year period from 1956 to 1978. Significantly, these extraterrestrials were secretly monitored by NATO authorities who did not interfere with private citizens meeting with and providing supplies to the extraterrestrials. The Friendship case, if genuine, suggests that something like the official agency created to monitor extraterrestrials on earth depicted in the Men In Black movies, is based in fact. Certainly, Prime Minister Medvedev appears to think that such a “secret special service” exists.
While it can be claimed that Medvedev was giving a playful response to an off-beat reporter question, the full context of his off-air remarks suggest he was being candid on a range of topics, including extraterrestrial life. Plausible deniability certainly comes to mind when trying to analyze Medvedev’s frank off-air comments. This raises the intriguing possibility that Medvedev’s comments were orchestrated with prior approval to reveal facts to the Russian public that authorities are not yet able to officially announce to the world – extraterrestrials live among us.

UFO Crashes Off Okinawa, Japanese Navy Secures Area
Nippon Television reported December 5th that an Unidentified Flying Object, a UFO, went down off the coast of Okinawa, an island at the southern tip of Japan. Several news crews, along with police and emergency vehicles, rushed to the scene just in time to see the UFO sink into the water, according to multiple sources.
“We saw something like a small vessel with a dome slowly submerge into the water as we arrived at the scene,” said Okinawa Prefecture Police Chief Hideki Suzuki. “We clearly saw smoke rising from it as it went down. There was a tremendous amount of steam generated as it disappeared into the depths of the ocean. We anticipate investigating the vessel as soon as we get the equipment we need to raise it from the water.”
Several eyewitnesses recounted what they saw. According to Nippon Television, an elderly man fishing off the coast in a small boat said he saw a giant fireball racing from the heavens at a very fast speed. The object streaked across the sky, smashed into the water and then came back up in one piece. The elderly man says he thought he heard the distant sound of motors trying to restart just a few minutes before the unknown object started to smoke.
UFO photo release by Japanese Navy
Nippon Television interviewed an unnamed boy who saw the UFO crash into the water.
“It was like in the movies,” said the boy. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought it was an airplane crashing into the water but it didn’t look like a normal plane. It was round on top and looked all metallic. It was very shiny and gave off red and green lights. I ran home as soon as it smashed into the water.”
According to Nippon Television, the Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda, has already been notified of the crash landing and is awaiting word from authorities about the events on Okinawa.
The Japanese Navy has already cordoned off the immediate vicinity of the crash and is preparing to send divers into the water to get a glimpse of the vessel and take photos for salvaging purposes. No doubt, the Navy will be heavily involved in bringing the UFO up from the depths of the ocean.
Japanese Navy officials have released the first ever photo of the UFO that crashed off the coast of Okinawa yesterday. The photo appears grainy and somewhat unclear since the vessel is submerged underwater but clearly shows a power source still glowing brightly atop the aircraft’s dome.
“We wanted to release this photo to the world and confirm the reports issued yesterday,” said Japanese Navy spokesman Yoshido Hari. “This picture will give credence to what some of our citizens living on Okinawa witnessed yesterday. We clearly still have many days of salvaging ahead of us but we will take our time and bring the aircraft up in one piece. We must preserve the object as much as possible.”
Numerous reports began to circulate around the globe yesterday about a possible UFO crash off the coast of Okinawa. Many people, including the mainstream media, believed the reports to be false or an elaborate prank. The picture snapped by Japanese Navy divers will put those thoughts of falsity to rest.
“This is not a joke,” said Hari, speaking candidly to reporters. “We have clear evidence at the bottom of the ocean that indicates UFO presence. What the world once thought virtually impossible is now a reality. It is up to us to preserve that reality in order to study the structure of the vessel and perhaps even the alien lifeforms inhabiting it.”
Several scientists from the United States have already been dispatched by the U.S. government and will arrive in Tokyo sometime today. It is unclear, however, if the vessel will be moved to the capital city for further study and research or if it will remain housed in a hangar on Okinawa.
“At this early junction, we can’t say for sure where we will be conducting our studies,” said Hari. “Our main objective at the moment is salvaging the giant aircraft in one piece. We must get it out of the water before saltwater eats away critical pieces. Obviously, keeping the structure intact would be optimal.”
Asked if the Japanese Navy had any intentions of releasing future photos of the downed UFO, Hari commented, “At this time we have no other photos to release. The water is somewhat murky and the picture released to the world this morning is the best quality available at this time. We will try to produce other photos of the vessel as conditions improve.”
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is expected to arrive on the small island sometime tomorrow to speak with Navy representatives regarding the salvaging of the UFO. Needless to say, the Japanese government has a huge interest in preserving the aircraft as it will be used for future research endeavors.
