New Ink Art / Alfred Freddy Krupa/ UFO: Countdown to Disclosure

Restarted my daily oracle. Hexagram 29 again. While I am playing hookey until next Thursday, I think that my oracle is telling me that I got myself into trouble (duh!) and I am going to weathering some storms. Oh well.

Appropriate to a piece by JMG on his front page Ecosophia.net, I spent time yesterday laughing about the UFO deal and dredging around on the net to get more background (truthfully, there really isn’t all that much there as “evidence”, it appears to be a lot of flacks a flackin’) Mostly it appears to me to be a pretty big push to create a “shiny” that will distract the rubes so that important looting can be done.

But one never knows.

Oddly enough, the story itself brought to mind a science fiction article from the golden years.  Robert Heinlein was the Dean of Science Fiction for a long time.  I grew up on this stuff, but one of his early forays was a novella named “Magic, Inc” and a short story named “Waldo”.  I think that a lot of folks in the Sci-Fi fanboy circles do their damndest to forget these two.  They really don’t seem to fit into the arc of Heinlein’s work.  But truthfully, the guy was a lot more nuanced than what folks give him credit for.

So, in light of my current recherches into the occult (I am thinking that I kinda like the Tarot/Qabala duo, but there is a lot of work remaining to getting to the point of understanding it The attitudes of skepticism I have spent years developing aren’t going away anytime soon),  I think that I have come up with an interesting idea.  It is just an idea more appropriate to bullshitting with your odder friends in a bar than an apple falling on your head or running from a bathtub exclaiming “eureka”.

Let’s just consider the possibility (probability <1%!!) that the gizmo’s seen in the “photos that are blurry and ambiguous even by the rock-bottom standards of UFO imagery” are real and are not of the mundane earth. 

In a way, I can blame JMG for this.  The Radiance was kinda interesting in the WOH universe.  But in the end the radiance lost (hooray for our team).  But as JMG has been out on the podcast circuit of late, doing the requisite meet and greets to promote sales of “the King in Orange” (BTW, these seem to be a lot more pleasant than the book signings and the enforced jovialities of book signings) I think that, in this particular instance, we can explore the idea that Magic (should that be capitalized?) is afoot in the world.

Now, without further adieu, and if for no other reason than it might be a fun book, what say these UFO’s are in fact there?  What say that they were drawn into physical existence like the black dogs of Nyarlothothep to serve the purpose of a greater magic. The reason that this might (however unlikely and unprovable) be what is happening is that, as JMG has noted in the KIO is that now that the “man as conqueror of nature” meme is looking decided cracked, a critical mass of folks are now breaking out of that mindset and deciding that, in the words of Morris Berman, “The only hope, or so it seems to me, lies in a reenchantment of the world)

All of this is far-fetched and pretty darned unlikely.  But, ¿quién sabe?
